Volume 5: The First Song Three Hundred and Forty-Five: The Examination of Chengguan Grace (28)
The sudden change in the ring shocked everyone!
Most of the disciples in the audience who witnessed the whole process thought that Yan Xuan had been defeated, and even many people felt sorry for this beautiful woman in Qixia Mountain.
Yan Xuan's master, Fairy Zhong Yao, frowned when she saw this scene, she had already recognized the black dog, and the hideous black dog that tore out Yan Xuan's fire phoenix spirit after appearing must be Qi Ruoyuan's fire spirit, and it is also very good, called Scourge.
The records in the classics describe the scourge as a fierce beast that can devour flames and spit endless fire, and it is a high-grade spirit beast that the spirit monk is eager to obtain, and if the fire control monk can cultivate such a fire spirit, it will be like a tiger with wings, because whether it is the spirit beast itself or the spirit of the cult that has been cultivated, it can not only have no fear in the face of the flames, but is extremely greedy to swallow it all, thus protecting the master from harm. In addition, the spirit of scourge or the spirit of calamity can also spit out all the flames it swallows to deal with enemies, and even if it does not swallow the flames beforehand, it can also spit out fierce fire, so both the spirit beast and the spirit of calamity are favored by the spirit monk and the fire control monk.
It stands to reason that the grade of the fire phoenix is much higher than that of the scourge fight, Yan Xuan doesn't seem to be in the predicament she is in now, but it hasn't been long since she got the spirit of the fire phoenix, Yan Xuan has only really cultivated the spirit of the fire phoenix when the tide of the cold spring valley has been suffering for a long time, how long has it been now? Qi Ruoyuan's Spirit of Scourge was also cultivated by herself, and the time was far earlier than Yan Xuan's Fire Phoenix Spirit, so naturally all of this depended on the help of her elders.
Although the rank of the fire phoenix is above the scourge, Qi Ruoyuan's scourge has been obtained for many years, and the fire spirit will gradually become stronger with the improvement of the cultivation of the fire control monk after it is cultivated, Qi Ruoyu's cultivation is higher than Yan Xuan, which at least allows the scourge to catch up with some of the strength gap between the fire phoenix spirit due to the lack of rank, and the other is that the scourge is born with a love of devouring flames and is never afraid of fire, so when facing the fire phoenix of the fire supreme, the scourge can have the power to fight, and it also has the upper hand at the beginning.
Upstairs on the floor of Fairy Zhong Yao, Elder Song looked at the scene that had just happened in the ring in surprise, and then looked at Elder Jiang, meaning to hear what Elder Jiang would say now.
Elder Jiang guessed his mind and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, the competition isn't over yet."
Under the ring, Yan Xuan's four partners stared nervously at the changes on the stage, and now this situation was something they hadn't expected before, Li Jian said with a cautious face:
"Now is the critical moment for Miss Hiko......"
Now is indeed Yan Xuan's critical moment, she has never encountered such a setback, if she can step through this bumpy road, Yan Xuan will be able to move steadily and far in the future, but if she can't step on it and then lose on the stage, I'm afraid Yan Xuan will collapse in the future.
……
At this time, no one can replace Yan Xuan.
The confidence she had built up in the battle was shattered the moment the Fire Phoenix's wings were torn apart by the Scourge Fight.
Panic and fear completely occupied her at once, in her opinion, the black dog just now was hideous and terrifying, making people feel frightened, she almost didn't dare to look at the black dog again, even if her fire phoenix spirit was rolling and tearing with it, Yan Xuan was frightened by the low and fierce roar of the black dog and just wanted to avoid it from afar. And Qi Ruoyuan, who was coming with a long whip on the other side, was simply invincible in Yan Xuan's eyes, she was too powerful, the means were endless and extremely strong, Yan Xuan felt that he had lost this competition.
Yan Xuan had a fierce battle with Qi Ruoyuan just now, there were comings and goings and no distinction between victory and defeat, at that time she was still very calm in her heart, and her confidence was also accumulated little by little, and she also enjoyed the pleasure of competing with her opponent, how ridiculous it should be now!
The long whip like a red snake roared, and Yan Xuan, who had lost the blessing of the wings of the fire phoenix, was not as good as just now, although she thought that she would lose this competition, but the opponent's long whip was about to be whipped on her body, wouldn't she dodge?
Yan Xuan desperately launched her body, almost clinging to the whip tip and narrowly dodged it, and at this time, as her figure fell back, the afterglow of her eyes unconsciously glanced at the audience, well, every day came very early, and the position of the five people of Qian Chao was very high so it was very easy to identify, Yan Xuan saw Tang Ping, Li Jian, Qian Chao, and Lu Pingchuan under this glance, and also saw the eager and concerned looks on their faces.
Qi Ruoyuan is pressing step by step, and the long whip is coming again in an instant!
After dodging Qi Ruoyuan's other whip again, she suddenly thought, what would happen if this competition was not between herself and Qi Ruoyuan, but her companion?
If it was Tang Ping, she would definitely summon all her spirit beasts to help, and then use the ice control techniques and illusions she learned from Tang Bonian's predecessors and Goose Mirror's predecessors, and she would definitely fight Qi Ruoyuan to the end.
If Li Jian takes the stage, Brother Li's means needless to say, his means are the most clever, winning the competition is not a problem, and he is a person who will never admit defeat, the last time he was so seriously injured in Dacangze, he fought with that sword cultivator, and in the end he won, but at that time, in order to lead Wen Liang into the trap, there was no time for Brother Li to really kill him!
If it was Brother Lu, then maybe Qi Ruoyuan would lose ugly in this competition, even if she was powerful, it would be a big deal for Brother Lu to use his giant spirit body and even drink a bottle of Blood Soul Wine, and it would definitely be okay to defeat Qi Ruoyuan.
If it is Brother Qian, then this competition will be very good-looking, maybe Brother Qian will take out all the spiritual weapons and talismans in his storage bag in order to defeat Qi Ruoyuan, and even directly arrange a few formations in this ring, in short, with Brother Qian's wisdom and changeable means, he will definitely be able to defeat Qi Ruoyuan.
And then the question comes...... Yan Xuan avoided Qi Ruoyuan when he stabbed forward with his sword, and then continued to think about why he imagined that he would win the competition with Qi Ruoyuan if he changed the other four partners on stage, or would they all fight without admitting defeat, but he felt that he would lose this game on stage?
Why!?
Yan Xuan's body had just stopped, and just as Qi Ruoyuan whistled the long whip of the flame rolling towards her, the barking of the nearby phoenix dogs mixed with Qi Qi also came over.
Yan Xuan glanced at it, his fire phoenix spirit seemed to know that the flames could not hurt the black dog, a fire wing slapped fiercely on the black dog's waist, beating the black dog almost off the ground, but the black dog's sharp teeth still bit the other wing of the fire phoenix spirit and never let go.
Alas, if the spirit of the fire phoenix was still on his body, how good it would be if he hadn't been torn out by this vicious dog......
When she thought of this, Yan Xuan suddenly felt a tremor in her heart, she finally realized the problem that she had not found since she took the stage, this problem was very important, so that Yan Xuan was distracted at once, and she was almost entangled by Qi Ruoyuan's long whip!
Before taking the stage, in addition to worrying about losing this competition and dishonoring her master, Yan Xuan's biggest worry was that she was alone in this fight with others, without a companion by her side, which made her always feel deeply uneasy, and then after she cast the fire spirit, with the blessing of the fire phoenix wings, she could calmly face Qi Ruoyuan's means, it can be said that to a certain extent, the spirit of the fire phoenix replaced the position of the four companions in her heart, and deep down in her heart, she felt that as long as she had her own fire phoenix spirit, relying on it, she would be safe, just as in the past in those dangerous battles, as long as her four companions were by her side, she was very at peace, because she knew that as long as her companions were around, she was safe.
And just now, Qi Ruoyan's black dog tore out her Fire Phoenix Spirit all of a sudden, which shattered the sense of security that Yan Xuan relied on very much in the depths of her heart, and in her panic, she felt that she had lost this competition.
Yan Xuan knows that he is timid, but he has been a monk for so long, and he even has a teacher, is it possible that he will continue to be so cowardly in the future?
Looking at Qi Ruoyan, who was almost rushing in front of her with a sword, Yan Xuan suddenly thought again, did this woman dare to make such a move because she had a sense of security hidden in the depths like herself?
So what is the source of her sense of security?
I heard that she has always been alone, and she must not be a reliable partner.
Could it be that she is the kind of person who is fearless and does not need any sense of security as a barrier for herself?
That's enviable!
Or is it ......
Like herself, she is actually very afraid in her heart, and only by constantly attacking her opponent can she suppress the panic in her heart?
Sideways to avoid the past again, Yan Xuan assessed in her heart that her current body can reach the level of fire when she was blessed with the wings of the fire phoenix just now, at this time Yan Xuan had already withdrawn her phoenix fire knife, she raised her hands in front of her and glanced at it, and then looked at Qi Ruomi, who turned around and rushed again...... No matter if this woman has any barriers in her heart that makes her feel safe, and whether she has any worries about victory or defeat, she has never let go now, and has been tightly entangled and fighting with herself. On the other hand, the fire spirit was trapped by the other party's black dog, and she had been entangled by this woman, but she felt that she must not win, so she had no intention of continuing to fight, so if she really lost this competition, would she lose in the hands of this woman, or would she lose to herself?
really lost to this woman, Na Yanxuan felt that he had nothing to say, his skills were not as good as others, and he would continue to practice penance in the future.
If you are reluctant to make a move because of the fear in your heart, dare not make a move, cower and finally lose, then you are defeated by yourself, not by your opponent, is it a pity to lose like that?
Isn't it ridiculous?
……
Seeing Yan Xuan looking at his hands on the stage in a daze, Tang Ping turned his head anxiously and asked:
"Sister Yan, what's wrong?"
As soon as Tang Ping's words were finished, he heard a "ding" sound of swords striking each other in the ring, and then Li Jian suddenly took a heavy bite and said:
"Miss Hiko has finally broken through!"
……
When the flaming spirit sword was about to stab Yan Xuan's body, Yan Xuan's body suddenly retreated, and at the same time, one hand was raised against the stabbing long sword......
The Fengling Fire Knife reappeared, and the tangible and qualitative fire long knife suddenly slashed at the blade of the long sword, making a "ding" sound, and then the phoenix chirped suddenly, and a rolling wave of fire erupted from Yan Xuan's mouth, and shrouded Qi Ruoyu who was close in front of him.
Yan Xuan's sudden reaction shocked Qi Ruoyuan, and in the burning pain all over her body, she desperately retreated backwards.
Yan Xuan no longer paid attention to Qi Ruoyuan, she had to solve the dilemma of her Fire Phoenix Spirit first.
The blade of the Fengling Fire Knife suddenly became more red and brighter under the blessing of the aura in Yan Xuan's desperate urging, and the heat exploded, and at this time, the Scourge was biting the fire phoenix's wings and twisting and tearing back, and the Fengling Fire Knife slashed down heavily!
At this time, Qi Ruoyuan, who was forced to retreat, shook the long whip in her hand and whipped it over!
Although Scourge Dou was able to devour Yan Xuan's phoenix breath flames, he was still a little afraid of her fire knife, and the momentum of this knife was extremely heavy, so that Scourge had to let go of his mouth and let out an extremely dissatisfied roar back.
The spirit of the fire phoenix, which had escaped from the scourge, also let out an angry phoenix cry at the same time.
At this time, Qi Ruoyuan's long whip was approaching, if Yan Xuan wanted to dodge, he had to go in the direction away from his fire spirit, Qi Ruoyuan was moved when she pulled out this whip, she would not let Yan Xuan and her fire spirit merge with her fire spirit again!
As everyone knows, Yan Xuan didn't have this plan, although she didn't recognize the black dog, but she had guessed that it was probably Qi Ruoyuan's fire spirit, before Yan Xuan relied on her fire spirit to dare to fight with Qi Ruoyuan, now she is not ready to do that again, just to force herself, why can the opponent suppress herself without relying on the fire spirit, it's not that she is nervous and scared, now her situation is fair with Qi Ruoyuan, the fire spirit and the fire spirit fight together, and she will fight with the opponent, even if she loses in the end...... I won't blame myself afterwards!
……
It's coming!
Fairy Zhong Yao had been staring closely at her disciple's performance, and at this time, a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Her eldest disciple Yan Xuan finally passed the last hurdle in his heart in the ring and threw off the burden he shouldn't have, and now Yan Xuan has only one opponent in the ring, and that is Qi Ruoyuan.
In the opinion of Senior Zhong, no matter how much this competition is won or lost, Yan Xuan has truly become a teachable talent now.
And going up one level further, Elder Song thought that he would see that Qi Ruoyuan would take the opportunity to defeat that female disciple of the Five Spirits, but now that he was watching this competition, he would continue, and just as he was thinking about it, he heard Elder Jiang's words in his ears:
"Well, this competition is only now really beginting."
……
After fighting for so long, Yan Xuan had already understood herself at this time, and in terms of cultivation, she was not as advanced as Qi Ruoyuan's cultivation; In terms of means, she is not as many as Qi Ruoyuan, and now she has no blessing from the wings of the fire phoenix on her body, not to mention winning in the end, even if she continues to fight, Yan Xuan must make changes.
Since the stage competition, Yan Xuan and Qi Ruoyuan have been at a disadvantage in the fight, in a defensive position, defending more than attacking, and has always followed Qi Ruoyuan's means to make changes, which makes her very passive, and now she wants to change the situation, since her body is not as good as just now, then take the initiative to attack, and fully display the means she is good at, even if Qi Ruoyuan's methods are varied, but not necessarily her means are more pure, after all, the master has always let her major in Fengling Fire Knife and Phoenix Breath in her early years, It must make sense.
After dodging a whip from Qi Ruoxuan's long whip, Yan Xuan actually took the initiative to fly towards Qi Ruoyuan, which made Qi Ruoyuan, who also rushed forward, very surprised, this time she could no longer see any panic on Yan Xuan's face, and suddenly, the red light was sheng, the waves of fire were rolling, and a phoenix feather fire knife roared towards her......
I actually started to take the initiative to fight with myself!
Qi Ruoyuan thought in surprise.
She flew up and dodged the knife.
But immediately Qi Ruomi's eyes widened in shock, in her eyes, the fire knife just now had been cut over, but in the direction of that slash, there was still a knife that was slashing horizontally, at this time, Qi Ruomi's eyes could still glimpse the knife that Yan Xuan had just slashed over and the knife had become old, and Yan Xuan did not have a fire knife in his other hand, so where did this knife come from!?
Suddenly, Qi Ruoyu remembered what her parents had said when they taught her in Meng Cailou, there is a means called "Fengling Knife Dance" in Qixia Mountain of the Five Spirits Sect, this Fengling Knife Dance can be slashed out from one to two knives when it is cultivated to the first level, and then it can be cut out with three knives, which is very subtle and profound, but it is a pity that the inheritance of this means is only in Qixia Mountain......
Now...... Is that the means?
Precisely!
