Chapter Ninety-Five: The Essence of the Ma Family (5000)
"You two come out and take me a hand."
After a while, Li Yaolong suddenly shouted in a low voice, and then walked out of the hall.
He wanted to personally test the strength of Li Yuan and Li Yunqing.
"Yuan'er, Qing'er, be careful."
Out of the hall, Li Yaolong shouted lightly, his palm was raised, and an unusually dazzling cyan light poured out from his palm, turning into a big cyan hand, tearing the air, bringing up a fierce wind, and suppressing Li Yuan and the two.
With this palm, he exerted the power of the general stepping on the void realm, and he knew that the yuan bones in Li Yuan's body were extraordinary, and their strength was not weaker than the ordinary late stage of the virtual realm.
Seeing Li Yaolong's fierce attack, Li Qingni and the other elders on the side all changed their expressions slightly, and the terrifying power, just looking at it, made them afraid.
"Little aunt, I'll take my father's palm alone."
Li Yunqing's wrist twisted, and the Qinghyun sword appeared in his hand, and he wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Li Yuan.
Such a move made Li Qingni and others frightened.
However, with their understanding of Li Yuan, the latter is obviously not a reckless person.
"Okay, be careful." Li Yunqing nodded lightly, gave an instruct and retreated.
When Li Yaolong's sharp palm was still about three zhang away from Li Yuan, the latter threw a punch violently, and a thunder fist like a condensed one flew out.
"Thunder Eight Desolation Fist?"
Almost at the same time, the elders of the Li family spit out a few words at the same time, but they were not quite sure.
In the challenge of the position of the young patriarch of the Li family back then, Li Yuan also performed this technique, at that time, it was just a thunder fist shadow, and it was not so condensed, and now the power is not known how many times greater.
At that time, Li Yuan was only a sixth-fold Qi Refining Realm, and now he was a powerhouse in the Void Realm.
It stands to reason that the small Yuan technique of refining the Qi Realm, even if it is a powerhouse in the Void Realm, has made adjustments and uses Yuan Power to exert it, it should not have such great power.
"Bang!"
As soon as the cyan palm came into contact with the Thunder Fist, the fierce wind spread like a raging wind, directly shocking Li Qingni and the others back a few feet.
Li Qingni and the others, who had just stabilized their figures, showed a look of shock in their eyes.
They saw that Li Yaolong's cyan Yuanli palm was smashed by the thunder fist.
Facing the thunder fist that was still rushing in, Li Yaolong's cultivation in the Yuan Dan realm burst out, and with a slap of his hand, an even more ferocious Yuan force gushed out, directly smashing the thunder fist.
Then with a wave of the robe, the surrounding yuan force fluctuated, instantly annihilated, and disappeared without a trace.
"This is the true strength of the powerhouses of the Yuan Dan Realm." Li Yuan was stunned and gasped.
"Li Yuan actually has the strength to step on the virtual realm?"
The elders who were watching the battle exclaimed.
"I don't have that kind of strength, my father just used a blow to complete the ordinary realm, but I used the Yuan Technique." Li Yuan shook his head and said.
Not only that, in order to show Li Yaolong his strength and prove that he had the capital to fight with Ma Jianyang, he also added the power of a thunder pattern on the Spirit Pattern Life-devouring Bone to the Thunder Pattern Eight Desolation Fist.
"Good! Good! β
Li Yaolong praised again and again.
"Qing'er, you can also take my palm alone."
He was suddenly interested.
"Father, my little aunt is a cultivator at the peak of the middle stage of the Void Realm, and she is even stronger than me. Any one of us can contain Ma Jianyang. There is no problem in separating one person to quickly defeat the first person in the so-called young generation of the Ma family. Li Yuan hurriedly said.
"Okay." Li Yaolong smiled and nodded.
β¦β¦β¦
The contract duel field in Yangyan City is not a place where duels are usually held.
This duel field has a radius of more than 100 zhang, surrounded by boulder walls that are nearly 30 zhang high, all of which are made of high-grade Qingyao Immortal Stone, and even the powerhouses of the Nirvana Realm cannot shake it.
So, it's hard to have any surprises when you hold a showdown here.
There are 32 special pavilions built at the top of the boulder wall, and as a viewing tower, the Qian family occupies two seats.
In other words, for every duel held here, only thirty forces can participate in the gambling contract.
Of the five major families in the city, except for the Qian family, the other four families must be among them, and the remaining twenty-six seats will be divided by the second- and third-rate forces in the city.
In order to set off the atmosphere of the contract showdown, the contract showdown is only held late at night.
Regardless of whether this duel wins or loses, due to the Zhongpin Yuanshi vein, the Li family will move out of Yangyan City.
The clansmen and all the elders who were still in the city did not follow them to the duel.
According to the previous arrangement, as long as Li Yuan and the two appeared in the contract showdown, the Ma family would inevitably relax their surveillance of the Li family's mansion.
They were ready to take advantage of the duel to move the entire clan out of Yangyan City under the escort of the Qian family.
So there were only Li Yuan, Li Yunqing and Li Yaolong who went to the duel.
Underneath the contract duel field, there are several hidden underground passages, and there are also secret rooms built to prevent some unexpected situations from happening.
The Qian family specially arranged an underground secret room for Li Yuan and them, so although they came to the duel early, they did not appear in everyone's field of vision.
"Hehe, Li Yuan, Yunqing, it's not dark yet, and you're here."
Li Yuan and the others, who had just entered the passage to the secret room, were waiting for the Qian family to guide them, when a coquettish laughter suddenly sounded behind them.
Li Yuan turned his head and saw two acquaintances, Qian Yingke, the daughter of the head of the Qian family, and beside him was Ji Zhenyi, whom Li Yuan had always wanted to thank.
"I've seen Miss Qian, Master Ji." Li Yuan turned around and said with a smile.
Qian Yingke bowed, and then said respectfully to Li Yaolong: "Uncle Li." β
"I heard that Li Yuan Xiaoyou had become an alchemist before. Now that he has entered the Void Realm, he should be fully qualified as a True Rank Alchemist. β
Ji Zhenyi on the side smiled gently, with approval in his eyes.
"I have to thank Master Ji for giving the scroll back then." Li Yuan was full of gratitude.
Ji Zhenyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a scroll." You can become an alchemist, and it's entirely your own credit. β
Li Yuanqu flicked his fingers, took out a jade bottle, and handed it over: "I started cultivating soul power under the guidance of the scroll and started the path of alchemist. If it weren't for that scroll, the master wouldn't have looked down on it. This little caution, I hope the master will not dislike it. β
His gratitude was obvious, but he couldn't directly say that it was the credit of the scroll, after all, in front of the Qian family, there was an unfathomable master behind him.
"Careful?"
Ji Zhenyi was stunned for a moment, but out of the instinct of the alchemist, he was a little curious about the jade bottle, and reached out to take it.
"Three patterns into the Void Pill, ten ......" opened the jade bottle and looked at it, Ji Zhenyi exclaimed, "This is too precious, the old man can't accept it." β
Li Yuanquan said: "Eh, I just said that being able to become an alchemist has a great relationship with the master. It's just a few pills, and I hope the master won't shirk.
"The master has been at the peak of the Yuanli Realm for many years, if he can break through the bottleneck and advance to the Void Realm, with the master's talent for refining medicine, he can easily step into the condensation-level alchemist."
"This Dan is useless to the old man." Ji Zhenyi shook his head and said, several times after taking the Three Patterns into the Void Pill to impact the Void Realm, he had failed, as Qian Yunpeng said, he had already given up.
"Entering the Void Pill can only increase the probability of some breakthroughs, and it cannot be 100% successful. Maybe one more dose will make a breakthrough. Li Yuan smiled slightly and said.
"If it weren't for the Yuan'er scroll that year, he wouldn't know his master, and he wouldn't have the current relationship between the Qian and Li families. You should take it. Seeing that Ji Zhenyi was reluctant to accept it, Li Yaolong on the side persuaded, and then looked at the woman beside the old man, "Yingke, did you say it?" β
Hearing this, Qian Yingke nodded and said, "Old man, you can accept it." β
"Okay. Thank you, Li Yuan. β
Ji Zhenyi thought about it again and again, and finally accepted the jade bottle.
"There is still a period of time before the duel begins, go to the secret room first, and let me introduce you carefully to the Ma family's Yuan Dan Realm powerhouse. After the duel, these people are the ones you need to stay away from. β
Seeing the old man accept the jade bottle, Qian Yingke smiled, and then his face became solemn and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Li Yuan and the three of them all nodded.
The Ma family's Yuandan Realm powerhouse, Li Yaolong has only seen a few, and some of them he doesn't even know their names.
In the contract duel field, the Qian family will protect Li Yuan and Li Yunqing, and once they leave, they will have to face a strong enemy by themselves.
Under the leadership of Qian Yingke, he passed through several forks in the passage and finally entered a secret room.
The dΓ©cor of the chamber is relatively simple, with pale gold walls and framed landscape paintings, and several mahogany tables and chairs inside.
"Uncle, inside this scroll is the portrait of the powerhouse of the Ma family's Yuan Dan Realm that you asked me to find."
After Li Yuan and the others sat down in the secret room, Qian Yingke took out a scroll from Yun Ring and explained lightly.
"I'm tired." Li Yaolong took the scroll and said gratefully.
"There are some people above that I haven't seen before, so let's introduce them to the old man." Qian Yingke asked Ji Zhenyi to explain to them.
The scroll unfolded, Ji Zhenyi began to introduce them one by one, and Li Yuan and the others listened carefully.
Including the seven Hakqing elders, the Ma family has a total of fifteen Yuan Dan realm powerhouses.
Except for the patriarch Ma Zhitian and the great elder Ma Zhishan, who were in the middle of the Yuan Dan Realm, the others were all in the early stage of the Yuan Dan Realm.
The second elder Ma Zhiheng, who had fought with Li Yaolong before, was a cultivator at the early peak, and the third elder Ma Zhiyan was also at the peak of the early stage, and he was also a condensing alchemist.
The fourth elder Ma Zhiming, the fifth elder Ma Zhixiang, and the sixth elder Ma Zhiqian were all in the early stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, and the fifth elder and the sixth elder were also condensation alchemists.
It is precisely because of the three condensation-level alchemists of Ma Zhiyan, Ma Zhixiang and Ma Zhiqian that the Ma family can become the number one alchemy family within a radius of thousands of miles.
Although the Seventh Elder Ma Zhihai is only in the early stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, he has the strength to fight with Ma Zhishan, with firepower, and is the only genius among the powerhouses of the Ma family's Yuan Dan Realm who is not over 100 years old.
Such a young Yuan Dan Realm powerhouse benefited from the firepower bone in his body.
However, his ability to step into the Yuan Dan realm has nothing to do with his own talent, after all, the fire bone is only a third-class mortal bone, which can allow the Yuan to easily enter the realm of stepping on the void, which will not help much for the improvement of his cultivation in the future.
Among the Keqing Elders, Liu Qianmo was the strongest, and he was also the only Keqing Elder who had cultivated to reach the peak of the early stage of the Yuan Li Realm.
It is said that she came from the Xiuyuan family in the Luoyun Mountain Range bordering the northwest of Great Xia, the Luoyun Liu family, but she was not a descendant of the Liu family.
Even the Great Xia royal family was very jealous of the Luoyun Liu family, which had more than a dozen Nirvana Realm powerhouses.
Due to physical reasons, Liu Qianmo was unable to practice the water attribute exercises passed down from the Luoyun Liu family, so he deigned to come to the Ma family in order to use the fire attribute exercises of the Ma family.
Lu Qizhen, Yan Sudan, Gu Nian, Duan Libo, Xue Han and Zhao Hui were all in the early stage of the Yuan Dan Realm.
Ji Zhenyi reminded Li Yuan that they need to pay attention to Duan Libo and Xue Han, it may be that the life limit of the two of them is approaching, they have no scruples, and they are a little ruthless in doing things.
In addition, Gu Nian is also a notoriously ruthless character, so he has to be paid enough for his work.
Except for these three people, the other four Elders of the Keqing are not really of the same mind as the Ma family.
After introducing the fifteen Yuan Dan realm powerhouses of the Ma family, Qian Yingke and Ji Zhenyi also talked about some of the Ma family's well-known powerhouses in the Void Realm.
β¦β¦β¦
Yangyan City, the Ma family's mansion.
Outside the meeting hall, all the elders of the Ma family were there, including seven Keqing elders, and fifteen Yuan Dan realm powerhouses.
The strength of the Ma family is indeed not to be underestimated, and it is worthy of being the power with the most powerhouses in the Yuandan Realm of the five major families in Yangyan City.
In addition to them, there are nearly 100 people here, all of whom are cultivators who have stepped into the virtual realm.
The Ma family attaches great importance to tonight's contract duel, which is related to the majesty of the Ma family, and even has a situation related to life and death.
Ma Zhitian stepped forward and said in a voice like a bell: "Everyone should know that the Li family, which has not developed in Yangyan City for a few years, came out ten months ago with a strong person in the Yuan Dan Realm and became a third-rate force in the city. If you give it some more time and let a few more people step into the virtual realm, its status will be further improved.
"Of course, these are not enough to shake the status of the five major families. It's just that now they have two geniuses, and in just five years, their cultivation has been improved from the Qi Refining Realm to the Void Realm. β
At this point, some members of the Ma family who were not clear about the situation suddenly changed their expressions slightly, and an uproar sounded.
Raising his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, Ma Zhitian continued: "Such a genius, we have to admit that there is the potential of the Yuan Dan Realm, and it is not an exaggeration to even say that the Nirvana Realm is in the Nirvana Realm, after all, one of them is pregnant with a dragon bone.
"Look at the children of my Ma family, but no one can match it. These two people killed two geniuses of our clan in Flame Rock City, and more than forty people in a camp in the Chaotic Stone Mine were all lost in the hands of these two people, causing our clan to suffer heavy losses and lose face. Although these two were extremely talented, they were extremely cruel to the Ma family.
"If it is allowed to grow, it will definitely bury the disaster of extinction for the Ma family. Tonight, we sent Ma Jianyang and Ma Junrui to face off against them in a two-on-two contract, and signed a life and death contract, vowing to kill them.
"Rui'er, Ma Jianyang, you are ready."
Ma Zhitian turned sideways to look at Ma Jianyang and Ma Junrui.
"Patriarch, get ready." The two bowed.
"Tonight's contract duel, let Ma Jianyang play, even if he wins, it is a bit of a victory. But you must do everything in your power to slay those two to prevent future troubles.
"Ma Jianyang, you don't need to keep your hands, in the final analysis, this matter is also because you were not decisive enough three years ago. If he was directly killed back then, what would the Flame Rock City City City Lord's Mansion do to my Ma family? Ma Zhitian shouted.
"The patriarch taught me that it was indeed my negligence back then. Rest assured, Chief, that I will take the heads of those two tonight. β
Ma Jianyang was also bitter in his heart, he had been very decisive in his actions back then, but he was not a strong person in the Yuan Dan Realm, and he had the heart but not enough strength.
At this moment, a touch of coldness appeared on his face, and he vowed to be ashamed.
Ma Zhitian nodded, looked at the nearly 100 Ma family powerhouses in the virtual realm, and said loudly: "You are all the elite of the family, and your cultivation is not weak. Tonight, you are responsible for waiting outside the duel field, once those two are lucky enough to survive, as long as there is no Yuan Dan Realm powerhouse around to protect them, they will kill them with all their might. β
"Yes." Nearly 100 children of the Ma family responded at the same time, shouting to the sky.
"Tonight, the Jiang family will also send someone to cooperate with your actions. They must not be allowed to survive. Ma Zhitian turned to look at the elders of the Ma family, "Zhishan, Zhiheng, Zhiyan, Zhiming, Zhihai, and the two elders Qianmo and Qizhen stayed in the clan, so as not to let anyone take advantage of the situation." Zhi Xiang, Zhi Qian, Elder Gu, Elder Duan, Elder Xue, Elder Zhao, and Elder Su Dan, the seven of you will go with me to the contract duel field.
"If the two are still alive after the duel, even if they are in the duel, they will shoot if they have the chance. As long as we kill them first, those Yuan Dan Realm powerhouses hired by the Qian family at a high price will not make too many moves. β
Hearing this, all the elders nodded.
Li Yuan and Li Yunqing's talent in cultivation is terrifying, the former is still pregnant with a dragon bone, if they don't get rid of it as soon as possible, they won't be able to sleep well.
Ma Zhitian bowed slightly, turned around, and continued: "If you miss tonight, the Qian family is bound by the contract, so you can protect the two of them justifiably, and if you want to do it, it will be difficult to find an opportunity." So Li Yuan and Li Yunqing must be killed tonight. Let's go! β
With his order, the hundred-person team left the horse mansion and headed for the contract duel.
When the people on the street saw the Ma family's team, they all pointed and pointed.
In the eyes of the Ma family, there is Ma Jianyang, a perfect existence in the virtual realm, and winning is a sure thing.
Everyone's thoughts are also the same as those of the Ma family, but there are also some people who are unhappy with the Li family.
Ma Jianyang broke through to the late stage of stepping into the virtual realm many years ago, and Ma Junrui is a well-known figure among the younger generation in Yangyan City.
This matchup was an unfair matchup from the start.
β¦β¦β¦
In the contract duel field, all 32 viewing buildings were filled.
On the pavilion where Ma's house is located, Ma Jianyang and Ma Junrui sat quietly and waited for the showdown to begin.
The forces on the other pavilions are all looking at the two pavilions where the Qian family is located, and at this moment, except for the people of the Qian family and those strong people hired at high prices, there is no one from the Li family.
"Are they afraid?"
"Impossible, right? I heard that the Li family gambled with 50,000 medium-grade yuan stones to win with their two juniors. β
"Contract duel, there is no limit to how much you can bet. But the odds for the Li family are eight to one. β
"The Ma family's side is one to two. It seems that everyone is not very optimistic about the Li family. β
"Is it so low?"
"No way, although the two talents of the Li family are extremely terrifying, however, Ma Jianyang of the Ma family is a powerhouse in the late stage of the Void Realm who has been famous for many years, and it is said that he has broken through to the perfection of the Void Realm last month, and the difference in cultivation between the two sides is too great. Even if Ma Junrui doesn't make a move, Ma Jianyang can also take one to two, and everyone is optimistic about the Ma family. β
With the discussion of various forces, the time for the start of the duel is getting closer and closer.
