Chapter 209: Second in the group, the first battle of the final [ask for subscription]
Yunzhou, Yunyue Mountains.
After the Zhou family defeated the Zheng family of the Jindan family in the foundation field, in the subsequent qi refining field competition, the Zhou family also defeated the Zheng family by a slight advantage.
After this battle, the Zhou family suddenly became the most popular family in Group C, and almost no one doubted whether they could reach the top six.
And that's exactly what happened.
Then fierce battles were fought, and the Zhou family's foundation building field and qi refining field were only defeated once.
The time I failed, I had no choice, and I ran into another Jindan family.
In order not to be swept away by the Zhou family, the other party directly sent four late-stage foundation building monks and one mid-foundation building monk.
In front of such a lineup, unless it was Zhou Chun who displayed the secret technique of "Ancestor Resurgence", there was no chance of winning at all.
And Zhou Chun naturally won't waste his only chance in this group stage.
As for the failure of the Qi Refining Period, it was also because the monks of the other family released four first-order high-grade spirit pets, and there were two Qi Refining Stage Twelfth Layer Cultivators who were not weaker than the tricky monks that Zhou Chun encountered when he participated in the "Heavenly Spirit Trial".
After encountering such a formidable opponent, defeat is a matter of course.
In the end, when the second group competition ended, the Zhou family entered the final with the second place in the overall points.
"It's finally over!"
"There should be more than half a month before the finals, so let's rest and recuperate and work hard to prepare for the finals!"
When all the dust settled, Zhou Mingde, who had already fought dozens of battles with everyone, was also greatly relieved, and looked at the Zhou family with a rather haggard look and said words of recuperation.
To be honest, in this group stage, he was the worst.
While the Zhou family was building a foundation field and refining the qi field, and while he was winning successive battles, his side was a mixed victory and defeat, and it was not very eye-catching.
If he encounters a mid-stage Purple Mansion monk, he can basically only maintain a tie with the other party.
But because his own cultivation is lower than that of the other party, if he continues to consume it, there is a high probability that he will lose.
So whenever this kind of stalemate arises, the referee will directly sentence him to lose.
And the early monks of the Purple Mansion who met him, people didn't want to admit defeat easily, and every time they had to do a tough game with him to prove their strength, they would have no choice but to admit defeat and retreat.
It's so depressing to lose and difficult to win, it's no wonder that Zhou Mingde is in a good mental state now.
At this time, seeing that he, the Supreme Elder, was so haggard, even if the rest of the Zhou family was excited because they won the second place in the group stage, they couldn't say anything more at this time, and they all went to rest first as they said.
After sleeping like this for more than a dozen hours, the spirit of the Zhou family was a little better, and they also had time to continue watching the battle between the D group and the Shu group.
At the same time, Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun also had time to discuss and study the seventeen families that had appeared in the three groups of A, B and C, and study the tactics to deal with them.
In this kind of multi-person cooperative operation, tactics are also an important part of determining the outcome of the battle.
When the difference in strength between the two sides is not too big to resist, it is possible to help the weaker side turn defeat into victory.
Especially in the battle of the five-person group in the foundation field, as long as the opponent three people are eliminated, it is equivalent to eliminating the entire team of the opponent.
This makes it difficult for some monks with outstanding personal combat strength to lead the team to victory on their own.
In this regard, the Zhou family also has relevant weaknesses.
Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiapeng are both cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, and they are both cultivators who quickly improve their mana exercises, and their personal strength is not very good.
Once you encounter a strong team, if the other party targets the two of them as a breakthrough, there is a good chance to send the two away in a wave.
And once the two of them are sent away, the pressure on the remaining three Zhou Chun will be infinite.
Because as long as the other party fights to send them away, they can directly win.
In response to this, after discussing with the Zhou family, it was decided that Zhou Chun's golden armor rock turtle and Zhou Daoquan's earth armor bear would protect the two according to the situation, so that they would not be eliminated by their opponents too early.
Time passed slowly, and after 39 days of non-stop progress in the group stage of the "Hundred Ethnic Groups", the top 30 in the five groups were finally determined.
Since then, more than 170 registered families have been directly eliminated, and more than 140 have been eliminated.
The remaining 30 families are all well-known immortal cultivators in various states of Yasukuni.
Prior to this, the division of the strength of the local immortal cultivators by immortal cultivators from all over the country may be biased and inaccurate.
But after this "Hundred Clans Conference", it is already clear which local immortal cultivator clan is stronger.
This is also the reason why the various immortal cultivators are trying to win a good ranking in the "Hundred Clans Conference".
No one wants their own family to be considered weaker than other families in the local area, at least before they can admit it.
And the convening of this "Hundred Ethnic Groups" has provided them with such a stage and opportunity.
For example, the Zhou family.
This time, among the various immortal cultivators in Lanzhou, only the Zhou family and another family surnamed Xu entered the top six in their respective group stages.
This means that in the future, when the Lanzhou immortal cultivators talk about the various local immortal cultivators, they must put the two of them in the first place.
If the Zhou family can advance to the top 13 in the finals, and the Xu family fails, then the Zhou family will be the strongest immortal cultivator in the Lanzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm except for the Jindan family!
"Next, I will give you three days of rest, and the final will be held in three days, and the rules are the same as before, only the thirteen families with the top thirteen points in the total points will qualify!"
When the names of the six qualifying families in the final group were announced, the referee of the yellow-robed Taoist Shan Yoko took the opportunity to announce the time and rules of the final finals.
After hearing what he said, the six families of the Nashu group breathed a sigh of relief.
Three days is not a long time, but it is enough to relieve their tired mind and body.
Otherwise, if they dragged their current tired state to fight with the other twenty-four powerful families, they really wouldn't have any certainty of victory.
Three days flew by.
On the day of the final, the three referees appeared together to preside over the final round.
"In the first game of the finals, the Lanzhou Zhou family played against the Cangzhou Yan family!"
With the voice of the yellow-robed Taoist Shan Yangzi sounded, the monks of the Zhou family and the Yan family walked out of the station with some surprise.
None of them thought that they would be the first family to play.
And the thoughts in the heart of the Zhou family monk were even more subtle.
When they came more than forty days ago, many monks of the Yan family rode two phoenix feather stone vultures and flew in the air, and they all witnessed it with their own eyes.
At that time, the limelight impressed the monks of the Zhou family who were able to pass on the beast control skills.
Unexpectedly, the two families were going to compete in this ring today.
"The Yan family has a late-stage Purple Mansion monk, and there are three late-stage foundation building monks, as well as two second-order demon beasts, this battle is afraid to be extremely difficult, everyone must be careful to deal with it!"
On the way to the ring, Zhou Daoyi talked about the situation of the Yan family in a solemn tone, and briefly talked about the tactics formulated against the Yan family before.
As the qualifying family in Group A, the Yan family is also an opponent that the Zhou family pays more attention to, so they naturally made some preparations.
But they also knew in their hearts that the Yan family would definitely make a tactical plan for the Zhou family, who was in the limelight at this "Hundred Ethnic Conference".
So what the final outcome will be will have to wait until after the game to be revealed.
Soon, the two sides of the purple mansion field began.
I don't have to watch this scene, although the Yan family currently only has one Purple Mansion Monk, but it is a Purple Mansion Late Monk, and Zhou Mingde and the Fire God Jackal will not be opponents.
The two sides didn't exchange a few moves, and Zhou Mingde didn't want to waste his mana and took the initiative to admit defeat.
After they stepped down, the foundation building field of both sides had not yet begun.
In this way, after a quarter of an hour after the end of the Zifu field, the foundation building field finally began.
And the audience, who was originally quite bored, also cheered up at the moment.
I saw that in the ring, after the monks of both families boarded the ring, they immediately took action with the referee's order.
On the Zhou family's side, Zhou Chun and the others released the second-order demon beast spirit pets at once.
There were also two foundation-building monks on the Yan family's side who released a second-order mid-grade demon beast Golden Light Leopard and a second-order low-grade demon beast silver-backed iron centipede.
Then both sides used their own tactics.
On the Zhou family's side, Zhu Yanhe flapped his wings on the spot and released a series of fireballs that bombarded the golden leopard, wanting to fight with it one-on-one.
Then the golden-winged iron-feathered eagle also pounced on the silver-backed iron centipede, and a worm and an eagle also caught and killed each other.
The Golden Armor Rock Turtle and the Earth Armor Bear went to help Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiapeng, helping them deal with a mid-foundation building monk of the Yan family and an early foundation building monk who practiced the method of fighting.
The Yan family's side originally wanted that mid-foundation building monk and silver-backed iron centipede to come over to deal with the combination of Zhou Chun and the Golden Armor Rock Turtle.
Then let the monks in the later stage of foundation building quickly solve Zhou Jiarui or Zhou Jiapeng.
But at this time, the tactics of the Yan family and the Zhou family changed, and their monk in the late stage of foundation building could only take the opportunity to deal with Zhou Chun.
In the previous battle of the Zhou family, they had already deeply understood the combat effectiveness of the Silver Lightning Thunder Python in vain, and it was very clear that a mid-foundation building monk alone would definitely not be able to stop the combination of Zhou Chun and the Silver Lightning Thunder Python in vain.
And this monk in the late stage of the Yan family's foundation building was not sure that he would be able to solve Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Jiapeng who were protected by the golden armor rock turtle and the earth armor bear faster than Zhou Chun.
In this way, the Zhou family has undoubtedly gained an advantage in tactics and successfully pulled the opponent into their own rhythm!
I saw that Zhou Chun's head was above the [Xuanling Golden Bell], and the dragon scales and golden shields around his body were flying, mainly focusing on defending himself, and handing over the task of attacking the opponent to the Silver Lightning Thunder Python in vain.
The Yan family monk on the opposite side also knew how strong Zhou Chun's defense was, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to break several layers of protection and hurt Zhou Chun in a short period of time.
Therefore, he also changed the main target to the Silver Lightning Thunder Python in vain, preparing to drive away this second-order low-grade demon python first.
But the Silver Lightning Thunder Python is so flexible, and the flashing and moving of the "Electric Light Thunder Lightning" spell is as fast as lightning, and it is not easy to hit at all.
What's more, Zhou Chun didn't watch him hurt in vain, and he had been urging the [Solar Golden Wheel] and the "Flying Dragon Grab" magic weapon to help him resist his attacks in vain.
Prior to this, their master and servant had already had the experience of working together to deal with late-stage foundation building monks and second-order high-grade demon beasts many times, and they would never be injured in a short period of time.
After fighting like this for almost a quarter of an hour, the Yan family's second-order low-grade demon beast, the silver-backed iron centipede, was the first to be unable to withstand the damage of the golden-winged iron feather eagle, and was pecked through its head and escaped from the ring with black-red blood flowing from its head.
The natural enemies of centipedes, scorpions and other poisonous insects are mostly birds and monsters.
Although the eagle does not eat these poisonous insects very much, it still has a great racial advantage when dealing with these poisonous insects.
The silver-backed iron centipede was restrained to death by the golden-winged iron-feathered eagle, and it couldn't make any waves.
And with the escape of this silver-backed iron centipede, the golden-winged iron feather eagle also quickly turned its target and pounced on the early stage monks of the Yan family who fought with the master Zhou Jiapeng.
That Yan family's early foundation building cultivator is a kind of popular fighting method of cultivation, and his own combat power is very strong, and he can face the attacks of Zhou Jiapeng and Tujia Bear alone, and he can not fall behind.
But now that there was an extra golden-winged iron-feathered eagle, he was struggling.
In terms of flexibility, the Golden-winged Iron Feather Eagle is much stronger than the Earth Armor Bear and Zhou Jiapeng himself.
At this time, one person and two pets beat each other, and Zhou Jiapeng had already seen the dawn of victory.
When the rest of the Yan family monks saw this scene, their faces changed slightly.
Immediately, the Yan family monk who was fighting against Zhou Daoquan had a fierce look in his eyes, as if he had made up some kind of determination, and suddenly struck out with a palm, and the palm of his palm was red and bright, and a red light fire dragon flew towards Zhou Daoquan with his head raised and roared.
This is the secret trick he has been hiding, and he has been hiding it in dozens of battles before, just to be able to highlight the magic trick in the final and decide the winner with one blow.
But Zhou Daoquan has broken through to the late stage of foundation building for many years, and in order to prepare for a long trip these years, he has also specially cultivated a powerful self-defense secret technique.
At this time, seeing that the secret trick performed by the opponent was extraordinarily powerful, he couldn't care about hiding it anymore, and immediately pushed the hand knot seal forward.
I saw an earthy yellow aura converging and spreading in front of him, quickly condensing into a round mirror covered with mystical patterns, protecting him behind him.
After the red light fire dragon hit the round mirror, it immediately exploded with a "boom".
But this powerful blow was stronger than the ordinary second-order high-grade spells, but in the end, it failed to hurt Zhou Daoquan in the slightest, and all of them were blocked by that round mirror!
Peng!
With a slight popping sound, the round mirror in front of Zhou Daoquan also completed its mission and shattered.
But Zhou Daoquan's expression was very relaxed.
The fact that he didn't drop the chain on his side meant that the Zhou family was about to win.
The Yan family has already used a hole card, and it is impossible to use all the hole cards on the Zhou family, so it will be difficult for them to go next.
The point is, even if they use the remaining hole cards, they may not be able to win the Zhou family!
Sure enough, in the ensuing battle, Zhou Jiapeng's side finally forced the opponent to activate the formation guardian token.
And after sending away such an opponent, they went to help Zhou Jiarui with one person and two favorites, and it was easy to eliminate the mid-stage monk of the Yan family's foundation building.
Seeing this, the remaining three Yan family foundation building monks simply took the initiative to admit defeat.
After that, in the aura refining field, the Zhou family defeated the Yan family and scored a point.
Therefore, after the first game, the points of both sides are exactly three points, which is considered a tie.
