"Oh, I said that Senior Brother Li was stabbed by that black and bright spike before, and he was like a nobody, so there was such a defensive magic weapon to protect his body." Qiu Hua came to his senses when he saw the black-scaled soft armor under Li Qing's clothes.

He noticed this when he observed Li Qing and Chen Dazhong fighting before, and guessed what protective magic weapon Li Qing had on his body.

Now it seems to be really good, and looking at the fine black scales on that soft armor, it should be the skin of some kind of scale armor demon beast.

As far as Qiu Hua knew, the skin of these scaly demon beasts was not weak because they were covered by scale armor.

When refining magic weapons, they will break into a series of prohibitions on it, and add some spiritual liquid to soak it, making it more resilient and more defensive.

Generally speaking, the defense power of this type of scale armor after refining into a magic weapon is at least double that of before.

And the higher the quality of the artifact, the stronger the defense.

And the black-scaled soft armor of the sword on Li Qing's body exudes a faint black light, and the quality will not be low at a glance.

It should be a high-grade magic weapon level, and the defense ability will not be too bad.

Therefore, in this way, it is difficult for ordinary attacks to break through its defenses and hurt Li Qing under the scale armor.

"In that case, let's give this trick a try!" Facing Li Qing, who was protected by scale armor, Qiu Hua felt a little tricky, but he was not completely without the means to deal with it.

I saw Qiu Hua holding a sword in his right hand, and his left hand beckoned towards the four sword shadows, and the four sword shadows turned into streamers and returned.

Recombined with the magic sword in Qiu Hua's hand.

It was only at this time that Li Qing discovered that the magic sword in Qiu Hua's hand was actually formed by the superposition of five thinner sword bodies, which was also the reason why Qiu Hua's sword changed into five swords.

And after the four sword shadows returned to the magic sword, the magic sword continued to grow in Qiu Hua's hands, and soon turned into a giant sword two people high.

Qiu Hua also changed to holding it in two hands because the magic sword changed to a giant sword.

"This is ......" Li Qing's eyelids jumped wildly, and he felt an astonishing momentum condensing on that giant sword.

Each breath will increase by one point, and the Dao Dao brilliance will flow on it, and the dazzling sound is quite amazing.

Such an astonishing change immediately attracted all the eyes of the martial arts arena, and people continued to let out exclamations.

And Li Qing no longer hesitated after discovering the amazing aura coming from the giant sword.

Slowly retreat to open up some distance.

"It's good! Let's see who has the better means. Seeing that the giant sword in Qiu Hua's hand was getting worse and worse, Li Qing put away the umbrella and raised the tip of the Liuyun Sword towards the sky.

The mana of the whole body was unreservedly injected into the Liuyun Sword, and at the same time, the phantom sword technique was operated.

After just a few breaths, the outer layer of the Liuyun Sword was wrapped in a thick layer of Qianyuan Sword Qi, transforming into a silver giant sword.

Such a change naturally caused a burst of amazement from the audience, and two completely different momentum appeared in the ring, one was the giant sword that emitted gray light in Qiu Hua's hand, and the other was the silver giant sword transformed into the Liuyun Sword in Li Qing's hand.

As the two momentum continued to climb and collide, the small flag hanging in the ring was like a fallen leaf blown by the wind, drifting with the waves.

One will be blown to the right, and the next will be pulled back to the left.

It seems to indicate that victory is constantly swinging between Li Qing and Qiu Hua.

Qiu Hua naturally also discovered the abnormality and saw the silver giant sword condensed in Li Qing's hand.

He originally thought that after using this move, he would form an overwhelming advantage over Li Qing. Even Li Qing will take the initiative to admit defeat when he sees this amazing movement. In this way, he doesn't have to make another move, and he can also save mana for future competitions.

But to his surprise, Li Qing actually condensed a giant sword like him, and the momentum on the silver giant sword was not inferior to the magic sword in his hand at all.

However, although both are in the shape of a greatsword, there are some differences in nature.

Qiu Hua could feel that the silver giant sword in Li Qing's hand was completely condensed by sword qi, and although the gray giant sword in his hand was also attached to sword qi, it was more because of the particularity of the magic sword in his hand.

In addition to being able to split his magic sword into five magic swords, each magic sword also has a part of the spell runes engraved on it, and the spell runes on the five magic swords are combined to form a complete giant art.

As long as enough mana is infused, the magic sword can be increased by more than ten times in a short period of time, turning it into a giant sword.

It is fundamentally different from Li Qing's silver giant sword, but at this time, the arrow has to be fired, and he can't care about the origin of Li Qing's silver giant sword.

Holding the gray giant sword with both arms, he slashed at Li Qing fiercely.

And Li Qing's movements were also not slow, and he swung the silver giant sword to cut down while Qiu Hua raised his sword.

Rumble......

The two giant swords collided violently in the center of the ring, and after a muffled thunderous sound, two completely different mana and sword qi collided together, immediately producing a circular chaotic qi wave that quickly spread from the center of the ring to all sides.

Bringing up puffs of smoke and dust, blowing the robes of the two warring men flying, and the sound of hunting.

The defensive formations arranged around the ring felt the impact and rose in an instant, blocking this chaotic wave of qi mixed with destructive power at the right time, preventing it from escaping and affecting the area outside the ring.

"What a strong mana!" Qiu Hua held the gray giant sword in his hand with both hands and poured mana into his whole body, but he clearly felt that a mana fluctuation that was far more powerful than him was surging towards him like a tide.

He was so oppressed that he could barely breathe.

But he had indeed exhausted all his strength, and he was almost gritting his teeth and insisting.

Under such mana consumption, just a dozen breaths have already reached the limit of the body, not to mention the reddening of the face, the most important thing is that the mana in the body has been consumed to the bottom.

The brilliance on the gray greatsword also dimmed due to the weakness of the successor.

Li Qing's eyes were keenly aware of this, and he knew that Qiu Hua was no longer good, although maintaining the illusion sword technique also made him consume a lot.

But because of the Black Water True Method, he still didn't completely dry up his mana, so he gritted his teeth and decisively increased the output of mana.

The silver giant sword suddenly shone brightly, and it overshadowed the gray giant sword with an overwhelming advantage.

"How is that possible?" As Li Qing increased his mana output, the momentum of the silver giant sword rose, which suddenly made Qiu Hua feel a huge pressure.

He didn't understand why Li Qing, who was only at the eighth level of Qi training, had such a strong mana, and he was actually more than one line stronger than him, the ninth layer of Qi training.

Click,

However, the next moment, an audible sound of a needle drop came from the gray giant sword into the ears of Li Qing and Qiu Hua, and they all looked up together.

And immediately locked his eyes on the gray greatsword.

I saw that the brilliance on the gray giant sword had dimmed, and some of the key places had been covered with fine cracks, faintly showing signs of collapse.

Li Qing's face was overjoyed when he saw this, and his mana said that it was due to the fact that the Black Water True Law originally had more and purer monks of the same level, but in the final analysis, it was still a period of Qi training, and it was impossible to maintain a spell that consumed a lot of mana such as the Phantom Sword Technique for a long time.

And Qiu Hua saw the cracks on the gray giant sword, his face immediately turned from red to pale, and a drop of cold sweat slipped from his forehead unconsciously.

Because he clearly knew that the crack that appeared on the gray giant sword was the fulcrum connecting several magic swords, and it was also the channel through which mana penetrated.

There are a few fulcrums connecting the giant magic to a complete spell rune, and the mana can flow between several magic swords unimpeded.

As soon as there is a problem with the connection fulcrum, it means that the gray greatsword is about to collapse.

Click,

However, before Qiu Hua could react, a series of crisp sounds came into his ears.

Immediately afterward, the brilliance on the gray giant sword completely disappeared, revealing the five magic swords connected by a crumbling special device.

Then the gray greatsword shattered completely.

And because the giant sword formed by the combination of the five magic swords spread out, the giant art was no longer complete, so it re-transformed into five normal-sized magic swords and fell from the sky.

And the silver giant sword lost the gray giant sword that it was fighting with, and it smashed down on the top of Qiu Hua's head almost instantly.

This time it was too sudden, and although Li Qing was shocked by the change, it was too late for the silver giant sword to dissipate in a short moment.

Although the Silver Greatsword was controlled by Li Qing, revoking its control would only make it even more uncontrollable.

Therefore, Li Qing could only stop the mana infusion of the silver giant sword, and then try his best to stop the driving force of the silver giant sword from falling, and try to make its position shift.

But the silver giant sword that lost its confrontation fell extremely fast, and although Li Qing had already caused it to deviate from its original trajectory, it was almost about to fall on Qiu Hua's left shoulder in the blink of an eye.

And Qiu Hua was shocked because the gray giant sword suddenly collapsed just now, and he was half-crouching on the ground at this time, looking at the silver giant sword falling above his head in horror.

When Li Qing thought that the game had been messed up, and Qiu Hua was nervous, a blue figure wearing a jade crown suddenly appeared between the silver giant sword and Qiu Hua.

Stretching out a finger to the falling silver giant sword, the silver giant sword that had fallen with an incomparable momentum immediately stopped falling and stopped steadily in mid-air.

"Elder Liang!" Li Qing and Qiu Hua were surprised when they saw everyone coming.

The person who came was none other than Elder Liang Kuan, who had been sitting firmly on the high platform, and he and the other two elders had been covering the entire martial arts arena with their divine senses, paying attention to possible unexpected changes.

So when he found out that Li Qing couldn't control the silver giant sword, he dodged into the ring.

And put a finger against the falling silver greatsword.

The crisis between the two was resolved lightly, and he stopped with a seemingly light and powerless finger against the silver giant sword that was accelerating its fall.

And Li Qing got the buffer time, and hurriedly took the initiative to disperse the illusion sword technique, and the silver giant sword turned into a little spiritual light and disappeared into the air.

Only the Liuyun Sword was still in Li Qing's hands.

"Xiao Qianfeng, Li Qingsheng!" Liang Kuan glanced down at Li Qing, and slowly opened his mouth to announce the results of the competition for the deacon on the side of the ring.

The words spoken by Elder Jin Dan were the Chrysostom Jade Law, and the deacons in the audience immediately obeyed it.

Besides, this is the truth, if it weren't for Liang Kuan, the Jindan elder, to stop the silver giant sword from falling, Qiu Hua would probably not just lose the competition.

So even Qiu Hua himself can't refute this decision.

Besides, he didn't have any extra mana to support him now, so he quickly adjusted.

Salute towards Liang Kuan with Li Qing.

However, just as Li Qing bent down to worship, a familiar voice broke into his mind without any scruples.

"It's a look!" Li Qing's face turned grim, and he immediately realized the origin of the voice.

"Li Qing, someone has paid attention to you. Don't use the magic sword technique later, and behave weakly. If someone asks you later why your mana is far superior to that of a monk of the same rank, you can simply say that you have eaten the Pulse Expansion Pill. ”

Li Qing could tell that this transmission was Elder Liang Kuan who was coming from in front of him.

Li Qing's mind was flexible, and he realized the problem in just a moment, this was Liang Kuan warning him.

Someone doubted that he had abundant mana, and Li Qing immediately became suspicious.

However, he was worried that others would see the flaws, so he tried to maintain a normal expression and complete the action of bowing.

As for the weakness of Liang Kuan's performance, there is no need to deliberately show it.

The use of the Phantom Sword Technique already consumed a huge amount of mana on Li Qing, and there was no need to disguise Li Qing at all, revealing a look of excessive mana consumption and malaise.

Then respectfully saluted Liang Kuan in mid-air. "Fortunately, Elder Liang made a timely move, otherwise the disciple would have made a big mistake."

Liang Kuan maintained the bearing of Elder Jin Dan, and just nodded slightly before returning to the high platform.

After Liang Kuan returned to the high platform, Li Qing glanced at Qiu Hua, who was silently picking up the scattered magic swords in the ring, and said sorry to him, which was regarded as an expression of apology for not being able to retract his strength just now and almost letting him die.

However, Qiu Hua can see it, but he only says that his strength is not good, and it is normal for accidents to occur in that situation, so he really can't complain about Li Qing.

The only thing that made Qiu Hua feel distressed was that it would probably cost some spirit stones to repair the magic sword in his hand in the future.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Qing, so Qiu Hua got out of the ring by himself after packing up the magic sword.

After Li Qing watched Qiu Hua leave, he immediately took out a whole bottle of mana-restoring pills and poured it all into his mouth.

Qiu Hua's side is over, but he still needs one more win to win.

A phantom sword technique directly consumed most of his mana. At this time, if you don't take advantage of this time to recover and replenish some of the consumed mana, how will you deal with the last challenge later?

However, this is also the helplessness of a Qi cultivation stage cultivator like Li Qing at the eighth or ninth level, although he can barely cast some powerful moves and spells.

But he can basically empty out the mana in his body, so Liang Kuan is worried that it is completely redundant, and he will not be able to use the second illusion sword technique in a short period of time.

Even if it weren't for the fact that the Black Water True Law didn't have a little mana in his body, he wouldn't have the confidence to take the third competition.

It's just that what makes Li Qing feel uneasy is that he can let Liang Kuan, a Jindan monk, tell him so secretly that someone has noticed him, except for Elder Xu and Elder Yu, who are both Jindan and sit on the high platform with Liang Kuan, Li Qing really can't think of a third person.

But which of the two is interested in him, one or both, Li Qing is not clear.

Li Qing felt a chill in his back now, he didn't expect that using the Phantom Sword Technique would attract the attention of Elder Jindan for himself.

Didn't this Qianyuan Sword Book be casually placed in the Hall of Meritorious Service? How could it attract the attention of the elders of the Jindan period.

Li Qing didn't know the story behind the Qianyuan Sword Codex, so he didn't know why he had attracted so much attention.

Or is it just because of your own mana?

Li Qing was thinking about this question while recovering the consumed mana.

He knew that if he didn't handle this matter well, he was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble in the future.

……

After a stick of incense, Li Qing relied on the pill to recover a small part of his mana, and although the remaining mana in his original body was less than half of his heyday, he could barely support him in a battle.

However, Li Qing's luck is not bad, those few disciples with good strength saw Qiu Hua choose Li Qing before.

felt that Qiu Hua would win, so they avoided competition with Qiu Hua, and they all chose other opponents.

So as not to be preempted by others, after all, the champions who have been left until now have basically won two games in a row, if they are forced by others.

It's just a matter of winning, it's a big deal to continue to challenge. But if the opponent loses, then there will be one less place in the top 10.

Therefore, these people had already chosen the target and stepped forward to challenge when Li Qing and Qiu Hua were in a hot fight.

Therefore, it was Li Qing's turn to finish, and there was not a single disciple of the ninth level of Qi cultivation among the group of people who did not participate in the challenge.

And most of the disciples felt a little afraid of the silver giant sword used by Li Qing, although they knew that Li Qing's mana consumption was definitely not small.

But he still didn't dare to take the stage to challenge.

It wasn't until more than half of the hourglass time that a Huang Maofeng named Jiang Fu came to the stage to challenge.

And this Jiang Fu is still not a middle-aged man with an old face, and it is the first time that Li Qing has seen such an old outer disciple in the sect.

Through his casual chats with Bai Wan, he knew that the sect had always had a tradition of "releasing disciples", and for some disciples who were beyond their age but did not reach the corresponding strength, they would be released from the sect to various places.

That's why I was so surprised to see Jiang Fu suddenly, after all, Jiang Fu was at least forty years old in terms of age.

After all, the sect stipulates that outer disciples who have not reached the ninth level of qi cultivation before the age of thirty-five will be exiled if they have not built a foundation before the age of fifty.

Moreover, the ninth layer of Qi cultivation that is more than thirty-five years old will sprint with all its strength to build the foundation, and the outer door Xiaobi also excludes this group of people.

Otherwise, a group of outer disciples who have been practicing qi for years at the ninth level will come to the field, and they will be a cut above them in terms of mana and fighting methods, and there will be opportunities for them to shine.

However, Jiang Fu's cultivation was only at the eighth level of Qi cultivation, and he had already passed the number of years stipulated by the sect.

That's why Li Qing felt surprised, and a pair of eyes unconsciously looked up and down.

And Jiang Fu found that Li Qing was looking at him, and he was not annoyed, but explained the reason to Li Qing with a smile.

Through Jiang Fu's explanation, Li Qing knew that in addition to these rules for releasing disciples outside the sect, there was also a special regulation.

That is, the outer disciples who can obtain the "top 100" ranking in the annual small competition can be exempted for one year even if they exceed the age limit.

It will not be released until a certain time when the outer door Xiaobi falls out of the top 100.

However, Jiang Fu in front of him has been squeezed into the top 100 for five consecutive years, so he has stayed.

After listening to Jiang Fu's story, Li Qing was also enlightened.

It turned out to be this reason.

As for why Jiang Fu came to power to challenge Li Qing, in his own words, he was already a little "tired".

I wanted to borrow the hand of Li Qing, who was also an eighth-level qi practitioner but had a huge age difference, to cut off his last trace of unrealistic thoughts.

Then accepting the fact that he was already old, An An obeyed the sect's arrangement and sent him to a certain place.

After hearing all this, Li Qing felt a little embarrassed.

Looking at the indelible sadness between Jiang Fu's eyebrows, Li Qing seemed to understand the torment in the other party's heart.

He nodded and agreed.

So the two sides had an all-out duel, and I have to say that Jiang Fu was able to squeeze into the top 100 for five consecutive years, and he did have some strength and means.

But in the end, it was still a bad move, and he was defeated by Li Qing with a stacked wave.

Jiang Fu, who was defeated by Li Qing, did not feel the slightest regret, but showed a trace of relief, bowed to Li Qing and left calmly.

Looking at the back of Jiang Fu and Li Qing, Li Qing was silent for a long time, maybe this is the final destination of most monks.

failed to fight "fate", but in the end lost to himself.

Li Qing didn't know if he would have such a day in the future, but he knew that he would never admit defeat.

Even if there are all kinds of difficulties, he will continue to walk firmly on the road of cultivating immortals.

No one could shake his heart.
