Probably only Qi An and Bu Feng guessed the reason, that is, after Liu Cheng was injured by Qi An last night, the injury was even more serious than what appeared on the surface, which affected the performance of his strength, and finally caused him to lose to Miao Zhengyang.

At this point, the first team to be completely out of the game appeared, that is, the Yiwu Branch, and Hu Guangsheng on the spectator seat was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at the beads, and his stinky face was very scary. But Fan Ming ran over and shook it in front of him with a smile, and deliberately comforted: "Bearded, don't be discouraged, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you will still have a chance in six years!"

Hu Guangsheng snorted coldly, and sneered at each other: "Don't be complacent, you old boy, don't forget that there is only one lone seedling left in your team, maybe you will be kicked out in this round, and then your backer branch will be the same as our Yiwu branch, no one should laugh at anyone!"

Fan Ming's heart tightened, thinking that Hu Guangsheng was also reasonable, there was only one Qi An left in the Backer Branch, and he had not played in this round, in case he was also eliminated in the next round, wouldn't it be the same as the Yiwu Branch?

As soon as he thought of this, Fan Ming didn't have the heart to laugh at Hu Guangsheng, so he hurriedly returned to his position and waited for the next round of the game.

Who knew that when the team leader of the Xiangfan Branch drew lots next, there was a big oolong, and the two players he drew were actually players from his own family, so angry that he wanted to chop off his hands.

In the fifth game of the third round, both warring parties were from the Xiangfan Branch, and Wei Wei played against Jiang Zhiyue.

is in the same family, and it happens to be their leader who caused this scene, which makes everyone feel ridiculous and laughing.

Wei Wei and Jiang Zhiyue are from the same branch, they should know each other well, and the battle scene is relatively harmonious, not as fierce as the contestants of other teams, and finally Wei Wei won the victory and advanced to the next round.

There is no need to draw lots for the last game of this round, and only two contestants are left who did not play, namely Xu Ping of the Fufeng Branch and Qi An of the Backing Mountain Branch.

Both of them are the last remaining players on their respective teams, and regardless of the outcome, it means that one team will follow in the footsteps of the Euphora branch and end up in disgrace.

What is more dramatic is that Xu Ping once eliminated Bu Feng, who ranked first in the backer branch, and if he defeats Qi An again, he will become a key figure in the backer's exit. On the contrary, if Qi An defeats Xu Ping, then it will be a cycle of heavenly principles, and retribution will be unpleasant, so this battle is quite topical.

Xu Ping, like Qi An, does not use weapons, only responds with fists and feet, but he is tall, strong and burly, and looks amazingly oppressive, a bit like Qiao Zheng with long hair and a few years younger, while Qi An opposite him is obviously much thinner, not in a weight class at all.

For Xu Ping's characteristics, Qi An has studied a little, although his cultivation is not a body refining technique, but it is extremely focused on body protection and defense, which can mobilize true qi to condense on the surface of the body, form protection, and significantly improve local defense capabilities.

In the Qi Refining Exercises, there are also some exercises that can be comparable to the Body Refining Exercises in terms of body protection ability, and through the regulation and application of True Qi, they can also obtain amazing defensive power, and the exercises practiced by Xu Ping are of this type.

Many people mistakenly think that Qi An is also practicing this kind of qi refining method, and they don't think about the body refining method, on the one hand, because the body refining method is really unpopular, and very few people will choose to take this path, on the other hand, because of Qi An's age, people who understand the body refining method know that its cultivation speed is much slower than that of the qi refining method, and it is impossible for a young earth-level peak martial sect like Qi An to take the path of body refining.

Among the sixty-nine kinds of cultivation exercises included in the Library Pavilion, there are two qigong refining methods that focus on defense, one is the [Guiyuan Cover] and the other is the [Ning Zhen Shield], in everyone's opinion, Xu Ping's cultivation should be the [Ning Zhen Shield].

[Guiyuan Shield] focuses on overall defense, not to mention for the time being, while [Condensing True Shield] focuses more on local defense, which can condense a tangible and qualitative True Qi shield, and its defense ability depends on the degree of condensation and majesty of True Qi.

In other words, it is the quality and quantity of true qi. The higher the quality and the more sufficient the quantity, the thicker the True Qi shield, the stronger the defensive ability, and the more difficult it is to be broken.

At the peak martial arts stage, although it is possible to mobilize and control part of the true qi, the true qi is usually concentrated in the body or weapons, strengthening the strength of the physical body, and using the power of the physical body as a form of expression, others cannot see the existence of the true qi, but can only feel it.

In order for the true qi to manifest, at least to break through to the condensing qi realm, and in the second stage of "qi penetrating the whole body", you will see a faint glow on the surface of the body or on the weapon. However, the [Condensing True Shield] is different, as long as the cultivation is introduced, at the peak Martial Sect level, a faint True Qi shield can be condensed on the surface of the body, which is visible to the naked eye.

It must be mentioned here that Qiao Zheng of the Backing Mountain Branch is also a peak martial artist who is good at defense, but the defensive essence of Qiao Zheng and Xu Ping is different, the former relies on the shield weapon in his hand, and the latter relies on the true qi shield brought by the exercises.

Qiao Zheng's practice is the same as Wang Sheng's, named [Hercules Demon], from the library of the Qianqing Academy, it is not a defensive exercise in nature, but a strength exercise, Qiao Zheng uses the huge power brought by [Hercules Demon] to control the giant shield in his hand, coupled with the well-defended martial arts moves, which causes him to be proficient in defense.

From this point of view, Qiao Zheng and Xu Ping are two types of defense masters, Qiao Zheng relies on weapons and martial arts, while Xu Ping, like Qi An, relies on the perverted defense ability brought by the exercises.

Getting back to the point, Xu Ping and Qi An appeared one after another, and the last game of the third round officially began.

Qi An's record is not bad, he has defeated two masters of the ground list, especially the highly ranked Mao Wuxi, so Xu Ping has to be cautious, so Xu Ping does not seek merit, but seeks no fault, as soon as he comes up, he takes a defensive position, just like he did when he dealt with Bu Feng, with static braking and defense as attack.

Qi An will not be polite to Xu Ping, he mainly wants to hone the [Backing Boxing Method], there is no need to worry about the protection at all, except for Li Changsheng, no one can hurt him, and the defensive ability of the [Backing Boxing Method] has been verified by Mao Wuxi, and he now needs a defensive powerhouse like Xu Ping to test the ability of the [Backing Boxing Method].

Theoretically speaking, among the nine major fist styles of the [Backing Boxing Method], the most powerful should be the stacked fist style, but the stacked fist style is a killer move, not a conventional move, and Qi An does not plan to use it.

In addition to the stacked fist pose, the most explosive one should be the double fist pose. The double fist style is evolved from the split fist and the cannon fist style, and can be subdivided into double split fist and double cannon fist, that is, two split fists or two cannon fists are superimposed, and the attack is launched at the same time, and the power is doubled in an instant, which is much more powerful than the single split fist and the single cannon fist.

Among the five basic fist styles, the power of split fist and cannon fist is the greatest. The difference between the two is that the split fist is a smashing force, from the top down, while the cannon fist is an explosive force, from the inside out. But these two fist styles have disadvantages, the split punch is a slower move, and the cannon punch is a slower move, so you should be cautious when using it.

While doubling the power of the attack, the double-fist style also magnifies the defects of slow splitting and slow cannon punching, so the double-fist style cannot be used as a conventional attack method at all, and it cannot be used as a continuous attack.

In this battle, Qi An planned to defeat Xu Ping with two fists, but the strength was still the same as before, and only three points were used.

For an opponent like Xu Ping with strong protective ability, Qi An wants to defeat him head-on, and it is estimated that he will have to use half of his strength, but if he uses the double fist style, he will turn the already powerful split fist and cannon fist style into a double split fist and double cannon fist, which should be able to break through Xu Ping's defense from the front.

Qi An did not use the double-fist style as soon as he came up, because although the double-fist style is powerful and flawed, if it is not used properly, it will be seized by the opponent to counterattack, and it can only be used suddenly at a critical moment to achieve miraculous results. It was Qi An who unhurriedly first used the basic fist style to fight with Xu Ping for a short while, warmed his body, and then suddenly used a double split fist and slammed into Xu Ping's head.

Xu Ping mistakenly thought that this double split fist was about the same as the previous single split fist, so he didn't dodge, directly condensed the true qi on his brain, and manifested a faint transparent qi shield, in order to hard catch the opponent's double split fist, and at the same time swung an uppercut punch, from the bottom up, hitting Qi An's jaw.

Xu Ping dealt with Bu Feng in this way, relying on his strong ability to protect himself, Bu Feng launched an attack, he condensed the true qi shield to resist, and launched a counterattack at the same time, a bit like a lose-lose and life-fighting style.

Xu Ping's speed of condensing the qi shield was very fast, and as soon as his mind moved, his true qi could be transmitted to any part of his body, which could completely keep up with Bu Feng's attack speed. And Bu Feng's offensive and defensive abilities are not outstanding, not only can he not break the true qi shield, but he also has to spend time guarding against Xu Ping's counterattack, so he will suffer a loss.

A speed-type cultivator like Bu Feng can take advantage most of the time, but once he encounters a defensive cultivator like Xu Ping, he will be restrained to death, like a mouse biting a turtle, with nowhere to put his mouth, as long as he makes a mistake, he can be beaten down by the other party.

In the face of Xu Ping's swift hook, Qi An didn't actually have to dodge, Xu Ping couldn't hurt him anyway, but he still turned his head sideways unconventionally and avoided this punch.

Usually Qi An fights with people, except for the limbs, he tries to avoid being attacked by the opponent, which helps to develop good habits and exercise his skills, so Qi An chose to dodge without hesitation in the face of Xu Ping's counterattack.

And Xu Ping didn't have such a consciousness as Qi An, perhaps because he was used to this kind of tough fighting style exchanged with each other, he had no scruples to use his brain to hard connect Qi An's double split fist, which was also why he was too confident, thinking that Qi An's attack power could not break his true qi shield, so he had no fear, and there was no intention of dodging.
