Chu Fanghua and Dou Yufeng were fighting fiercely, and there was a hearty laugh suddenly from the sky. Xiao Tianhe's heart was overjoyed, and he turned around and shouted, "Senior Xiang!"

The person who came was none other than the Hidden Marquis Emperor Xiang Zhongyang. To Xiao Tianhe's surprise, Xiang Zhongyang would come so quickly. Shi Haoming and Ao Jianwei, who were hit by the seal talisman, are saved!

After Xiang Zhongyang greeted him cordially, he jumped down from the air and stood in front of the two. Ye Linglong didn't speak, just nodded at him.

"Coincidentally, I happened to be not far from here when you used the spell, so I came just in time, right?" Xiang Zhongyang patted Xiao Tianhe's shoulders and praised, "Good boy, you have the courage to break into the waters of Yuanming Island!"

"I'm ashamed, I'm low-spirited, and I can't help much. Xiao Tianhe said modestly, "I called my seniors over this time to ask you to lift the seal talisman for my two demon friends." ”

"Seal Talisman?" Xiang Zhongyang frowned. The Seal Talisman is a very powerful high-level charm, and it is impossible to find a few people in the world who can use it.

"Yes, it's right there!" Xiao Tianhe pointed to the back of the reef not far away. He had already quietly summoned a few demon clans out just now.

Xiang Zhongyang had just taken a step, but Dou Yufeng suddenly skimmed Chu Fanghua and jumped in front of him. The two looked at each other face to face. Dou Yufeng asked, "You are the Emperor of the Hidden Marquis?"

Xiang Zhongyang nodded: "I've long heard that there is a talisman in the 'Twelve Jiao of Atami', it should be you, right?"

"That's right. Dou Yufeng glanced at Xiao Tianhe, "We, the 'Twelve Jiaos of Atami', still have respect for the several great emperors of the demon clan. Brother Xiang's talisman prestige is also like thunder. To put it bluntly, I don't want to be your enemy, but I really want to compare spells with you. This seems to be true, because Dou Yufeng said before: "I admire the talisman making technique of the Emperor Yinhou", which shows that he did not mean to look down on Xiang Zhongyang from beginning to end.

Xiang Zhongyang smiled slightly: "It's a pity, although you don't want to be my enemy, but you are already an enemy of this little brother." And he and I have been of great kindness, and I have made a promise that I will do my best if I have any trust in the future. Today, you and I are on opposite sides, and a big war is inevitable. Even if I can't get rid of the seal you planted, I'll throw in the towel and leave here. ”

Xiao Tianhe was secretly happy, Xiang Zhongyang's tone was so domineering, it could be seen that he had a considerable grasp of lifting the seal talisman.

"Oh, you don't have to. If Emperor Xiang can't even get rid of the knot seal, you won't be the opponent I have always wanted to defeat. I planted the talisman of those two, so let me lift it. In this way, the Emperor will be able to save his strength and fight me with all his might. Dou Yufeng said as he walked towards the reef.

"Wait! Could it be that you want to do something in the dark?" Xiao Tianhe hurriedly drank Dou Yufeng, he naturally couldn't trust this shrewd and cunning enemy in front of him.

"Don't worry, I'm here. Xiang Zhongyang signaled to Xiao Tianhe that it was okay.

Dou Yufeng walked up to Shi Haoming and Ao Jianwei and squatted down, and Cheng Yufei, who was transmitting demonic power to the two, regained his momentum and stood up: "If you dare to play any tricks, I will smash your head with a stick!"

Dou Yufeng ignored him, stretched out his hand and clicked a few times on Shi Haoming's middle seal, then bent his fingers as claws, and made an outward pulling action out of thin air, only to see a ball of red light "pulled" out of Shi Haoming's heart. Dou Yufeng immediately squeezed hard, the light dissipated, and the mark on Shi Haoming's body disappeared. Then, in the same way, he removed the seal in Ao Jian's place.

Through his skillful technique when lifting the spell seal, Xiang Zhongyang knew that Dou Yufeng was indeed an out-and-out master of spells, and couldn't help but praise: "Your Excellency's attainments in the way of spells are really extraordinary. ”

"I have shown my sincerity. I also hope that Emperor Xiang will also respect this duel, and let me recover the Yuan Force consumed when I fought against this fellow Daoist first. Dou Yufeng pointed at Chu Fanghua.

"Yes. ”

"'The Tao is not the same', the sound of 'Taoist friends' is still exempt. Chu Fanghua said coldly.

Cheng Yufei stepped forward to look at Shi and Ao, and saw that their complexions were relaxed, so he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Xiao Tianhe.

Xiao Tianhe smiled at Ye Linglong beside him: "It's okay now, the two of them are fine." There is a senior here, let's ......" Who knows, before he finished speaking, Ye Linglong turned around and left, as if he didn't hear it. Xiao Tianhe felt a little blocked in his heart.

"Childe, is it because I upset you? I'm sorry. Liu Qinglian wasted no time in coming over.

Xiao Tianhe barely squeezed out a smile: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you." ”

At this time, Dou Yufeng spoke again: "Emperor Xiang, you and I are both masters of talisman making, and it would be a pity to fight to the death today." How about adding some rules to make this duel a little more interesting?"

"Hey, you're going to play tricks again!" Cheng Yufei pouted.

"Your Excellency wants to compete through spells?" Xiang Zhongyang had already guessed what Dou Yufeng was thinking.

"Exactly. There are so many different types of spells, so why don't you and I take turns choosing five of each, and only the ten spells we choose can be used in a duel?"

This condition is very strict, Xiang Zhongyang asked: "What about the magic weapon?"

"Nothing but charms are available. "Dou Yufeng is determined to pass the spell.

"No, no, no!" Cheng Yufei preemptively refused for Xiang Zhongyang, "You said that you only use ten charms, in case you sneak in and hurt Emperor Xiang with one more, won't we suffer a big loss?"

Dou Yufeng sneered: "Hmph, I've always done things above board, Emperor Xiang is a person I respect, and I will naturally win in a dignified manner if I beat him." ”

Heh, I don't know who was looking for someone to be a stand-in just now. Liu Qinglian sneered.

Dou Yufeng retorted: "Although I found someone to be a stand-in, I didn't hide in the dark and sneak attack, how can I not be 'above board'?"

"That'...... That's before you could make a move, we saw through it!"

Dou Yufeng shook his head: "I don't have a war of words with you. In this case, I will set one more rule, the talisman used in the duel must be made on the spot, and nothing else must be brought, this is always okay, right? Emperor Xiang, the level of talisman making is also an important criterion to measure the ability of a talisman maker, under the condition of complete equality, if the talisman fails, you can only admit that your skills are inferior, right?"

"Interesting. It's up to you. However, some high-level talismans do have the possibility of failure to be made, so in order to reduce the influence of luck factors, it is better to make ten talismans with twelve talismans, how about making ten talismans with twelve talismans?" Xiang Zhongyang proposed.

"It's still Emperor Xiang who thinks it through. Dou Yufeng agreed with this.

Liu Qinglian breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiao Tianhe: "Fortunately, Emperor Xiang won two opportunities to tolerate mistakes, and he was really shrewd. ”

Xiao Tianhe shook his head: "Dou Yufeng is more shrewd. Ten spells are limited, and twelve pieces of rune paper must be made on the spot, so that the threat of many high-level charms can be removed. For example, the probability of making such a superb talisman must be extremely low, even if you can draw this talisman, you don't dare to make it this time. ”

Liu Qinglian thought for a while and said, "But the conditions are still equal, like that knot talisman, he can't use it." ”

"The seal is certainly not as precious as the substitute talisman. Especially when he saw Linglong take out a substitute talisman with his own eyes, plus Emperor Xiang knew the two of us again, so he must now think that the substitute talisman was given to Linglong after Emperor Xiang made it. Based on this, he suspected that Emperor Xiang should have other substitutes. With a substitute talisman, he has no chance of winning at all, so setting that rule is tantamount to restricting all the powerful talismans of Emperor Xiang. ”

Liu Qinglian looked at Xiao Tianhe curiously: "In this way, the substitute talisman was not given by Emperor Xiang?"

"It's not. Xiao Tianhe felt that there was nothing to hide.

......

After resting for a few hours, Dou Yufeng got up: "My Yuan Force has recovered. Emperor Xiang, let's decide on the type of charm now. You come from afar, and you choose first. He reached out and made a "please" gesture.

Xiang Zhongyang excused himself: "No, I have already proposed to add two runes, and if you want to pick a talisman first, it will inevitably be ridiculed if it is spread in the future." You choose first. ”

"That's good. The first one, the Flame Bursting Charm. Dou Yufeng said. The flame burst charm is the kind of charm that his stand-in injured Liu Qinglian before, and after activation, it can burst out into a circle of fire. It is one of the spells with the highest attack power.

"The second one, the Swift Charm. Xiang Zhongyang continued. The Swift Charm, as the name suggests, can increase speed. However, unlike the acceleration effect of magic weapons, the Swiftness Charm can also increase the dexterity of the body.

"The third, the Ice Talisman. "The Ice Charm is also a very powerful attack charm, and the person who is cursed will not only be frozen by the cold, but will also produce severe frostbite, and if the person is not strong enough, it may even die of the body.

"Fourth, Tenacity. "This is the second kind of charm that Xiang Yang has chosen. Xiao Tianhe had an impression of this spell. When dealing with the black flying squirrel group in the Yaoming Forest of the Zongpiao Realm, Su Ziyi had used this kind of charm for him. The effect of the charm is also clear, which is to increase the tenacity of the body.

"The fifth, the thunderbolt. "The third spell selected by Dou Yufeng is still a powerful attack charm, the thunderbolt charm contains the power of thunder, and the person who is hit by the spell is like being struck by lightning, the body is paralyzed at the lightest, and the body is killed by exploding at the worst.

It's Xiang Zhongyang's turn again. "Sixth, the golden talisman. He chose a defensive talisman, the effect of the golden body talisman Xiao Tianhe had also felt it, and it was quite easy to use to resist attacks in a short period of time.

There are three offensive and defensive charms, and there are only the last four spells left. Dou Yufeng didn't rush to choose, and after thinking for a while, he spoke: "Seventh, sluggish talisman." "The Sluggish Charm can slow down the person who is hit by the spell, which is a kind of charm that is diametrically opposed to the Swift Charm.

"The eighth, the Purifying Charm. As soon as Xiang Zhongyang finished reporting the selection, Liu Qinglian sighed: "Why is it that Emperor Xiang chose all defensive talismans?"

Xiao Tianhe asked her, "What is the effect of the Qingyi Talisman?"

"All buffs and debuffs can be cleared of the site. For example, the sluggishness of the sluggish charm, the swiftness of the swift charm, the paralysis of the thunderbolt charm, and so on. However, the physical damage caused by the Thunderbolt Charm cannot be removed. ”

"The ninth, the Hidden Light Talisman. "Dou Yufeng has already made his choice. He didn't choose a difficult seal. The Hidden Light Talisman was also the first unfamiliar charm that Xiao Tianhe had heard of, and Liu Qinglian explained to him again: "The Hidden Light Talisman is a charm that can temporarily deprive him of vision. This spell is generally used for sneak attacks, which is commensurate with Dou Yufeng's sinister soft sword swordsmanship. ”

"Deprivation of vision, so powerful?" Xiao Tianhe felt incredible.

Liu Qinglian had a solemn look on her face: "Yes, the one who has fallen into the spell will fall into complete darkness, and there will be no light to see." If Emperor Xiang wants to win, he must beware of Dou Yufeng's tricks. ”

"Tenth, the amulet. Xiang Zhongyang also completed the choice. His last spell finally chose an offensive one. The effect of the immobilization charm is also very powerful, which can make the enemy freeze in an instant and not move.

Dou Yufeng smiled: "These ten spells are not difficult to make, I believe it is a piece of cake for Emperor Xiang." To be fair, let's use my usual 'prayer foil' for the rune paper. ”

Cheng Yufei immediately objected: "Both."

But if you use it often, how can it be fair?"

Xiang Zhongyang explained: "It's okay, Brother Tai doesn't understand the art of talisman making. Prayer foil is a fairly common high-grade rune paper, and it is also the one I use the most when making talismans. ”

Cheng Yufei said stupidly: "Hmm, that's good." ”

Dou Yufeng took out a stack of talisman papers, counted twelve and distributed them to Xiang Zhongyang, and then put aside the storage magic weapon and other magic weapons to show his sincerity.

Xiang Zhongyang did the same.

Chu Fanghua asked, "Two, what if all ten charms are used up, and there is still no winner or loser?"

"After the ten spells are used up, it will definitely not be a completely equal situation, and then it will be up to each to work hard until the winner is decided. Dou Yufeng said.

Xiang Zhongyang agreed. For talisman masters, their own strength is also quite important.

The two began to make charms, and from this moment, the duel began.

Xiao Tianhe walked to Chu Fanghua's side and whispered, "Sister Chu, although those charms are powerful, they must not be difficult to deal with for the two spell masters. It seems that you still have to fight hard in the end!"

"Not really. The strength of the two is similar, and the power of the spells they make is also similar. If you want to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, you have to look at the use of charms. ”

"Is there a difference in the use of techniques?" Xiao Tianhe thought simply, thinking that the technique was just an activation charm.

Chu Fanghua explained: "Of course. The timing of the spell is key. For example, if your Flame Burst Talisman hits the opponent's Golden Body Talisman, what if the other person uses the Essence Talisman and your Cleansing Talisman is already used?"

Xiao Tianhe slapped his palm and suddenly realized: "I see! The Golden Body Talisman can block other attack talismans, the Swift Talisman can cancel each other out with the Sluggish Talisman, and the Clear Clothes Talisman can eliminate all unfavorable effects. If you want to have an advantage, you have to seize the moments that change on the field and make the right choice!"

"You also need to have enough strength to successfully complete the action of sticking the character and activate it. Chu Fanghua added. This is probably the only inconvenience when using charms. The spell must be activated only if it touches the target. For example, the attack charm is directly attached to the enemy, and the defense charm is attached to the self. There are also clever ways to do this: for example, you can attach an offensive charm to your weapon first, and then activate the charm when the weapon touches an enemy. All in all, the spell must touch the target. When Dou Yufeng wounded Shi Haoming and Ao Jianxi, he used an aggressive method that relied on numbers: a large number of attacking charms were dropped into the waterspout, which were activated when they touched the two of them.

And when dueling with Xiang Zhongyang, you can't use this trick, because there are only ten spells that can be used in total.

The process of making the charm is also very interesting. In order to avoid disturbing the two talisman masters, several people stood five zhang away and watched from a distance.

What everyone didn't expect was that there were different ways to draw talismans. When it is said to be "painting", it is actually condensing the power at the fingertips and arranging the array on the rune paper. If you use your fingertips as a pen, you can draw symbols in a similar way to writing. Xiang Zhongyang is like using "wild grass", raising his hand, drawing a formation, and forming a fu, his movements are smooth, without the slightest redundancy, and the speed is dazzling, without hesitation, confident, and in one go. Because his movements were so fast, everyone couldn't even see what the talisman looked like. However, when making the penultimate talisman, Xiang Zhongyang's movements paused, and judging from his expression, it seemed that the talisman had failed. Thanks to two rich runes, he was able to draw them again. After a slight pause, Xiang Zhongyang began to draw the talisman again, this time very smoothly, and the talisman was quickly made. However, the last spell seemed to be difficult, and Xiang Zhongyang stopped again after just a few strokes. There was only the last piece of rune paper left, Xiang Zhongyang closed his eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and calmly raised his hand. Eventually, all ten spells were made.

With Xiang Zhongyang's action of withdrawing his hand, Xiao Tianhe and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiang Zhongyang had won two more runes before, otherwise there would only be eight runes available. Judging from the success rate, Xiang Zhongyang is by no means in vain.

Everyone turned their attention to Dou Yufeng again. Dou Yufeng's style of drawing is very different from Xiang Zhongyang's, he is more like writing neat "block letters" stroke by stroke. Every movement of his hand is very slow, and his hands are very steady, which shows the precision of his control. Compared with "one go", the probability of destroying the talisman is higher, and as long as there is the slightest change in the process of making the talisman, it is very likely to lead to the failure of the talisman. This "change" not only refers to the environment, but also includes the strength of the talisman maker, and even the mentality of the talisman maker. Dou Yufeng dared to draw talismans in such a slow way, which shows that he is quite confident in his control. His talisman making strength is indeed worthy of such confidence, and he showed everyone a very high success rate in talisman making, and ten talismans in a row, none of them failed.

Does it mean that Xiang Zhongyang's talisman level is not as good as Dou Yufeng? Or take writing as a metaphor, it is easy to write mistakes when writing quickly, and writing slowly and leisurely, there is enough time to think clearly, this is due to the difference caused by the different styles of the two writing styles, and it cannot be concluded that the block letters must be better than the wild grass. For the talisman maker, Xiang Zhongyang's success rate of seven out of ten is already very terrifying, and there are occasional failures, and destroying one or two rune papers is not a big loss. It is important to know that each of the charms made is precious and can be sold for a fairly high price in the market, so in terms of value, the efficiency of "Wild Grass" is significantly higher than that of "Positive Block". If it is replaced with the top-quality rune paper, the Providence Foil, and then mixed with colorful cloud powder, the "Wild Grass" can also achieve a perfect probability of 100% success.

In any case, both the "Wild Grass" and the "Block Letters" method made ten predetermined spells within the limit of twelve runes. The two master spells really live up to their reputation!
