Chapter 179: Duel Formation Cultivation
Although an easy victory did not bring much training to He Zhi, He Zhi was still very happy after the victory.
Because after this battle, He Zhi's team entered the quarterfinals of the upper bracket. According to the tradition of previous years, unless it is an extremely strict examiner, as long as the team can go this far, it is basically a sure thing to get a ticket to enter the Scattered Cultivation Alliance.
And this year's examiner of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance is Dan Sheng, with Dan Sheng's character of always being a good person, let alone the top eight teams, and even those teams that have just lost in the top 16 battles, it is likely that there will be a few teams that can get the qualification to enter the Scattered Cultivation League.
Of course, as mentioned before, among all the teams that came to participate in the recruitment conference, there were only a few scattered cultivation teams left that could go this far. Even if Dan Sheng is willing to give those squads of the children of the family the qualifications to enter the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, it is up to them whether they are willing to come in or not.
In short, after the second competition, Linchen Lao Dao also specially asked He Zhi to celebrate.
At lunch, Linchen Lao Dao poured two glasses of wine for himself and He Zhi, and he raised his glass first and said, "Lord He, this time things can go so smoothly in the Lanshan Society, thanks to the help of the Castle Lord. Don't worry, Lord Hebao, Lao Dao is absolutely tight-lipped about your affairs, and he won't say much to anyone. ”
When Linchen Lao Dao spoke, his expression was solemn like never before.
"Hmm. Then thank you. He Zhi also smiled, raised his glass and drank the wine in the cup with Linchen Lao Dao.
Seeing He Zhi's appearance, Linchen Lao Dao couldn't help frowning: "Lord He Bao, Lao Dao knows that your cultivation is profound and your skills are high. But the castle lord must not be careless. Although the Liu family is not a first-class family, it always has a head and a face in the cultivation world. The castle lord killed the people of the Liu family, I'm afraid they won't give up. ”
"Hmm. I know. Once things are over here, I'll find a place to take refuge. He Zhi also nodded, grateful for the advice of the old man.
The matter that the Liu family might retaliate against, He Zhi naturally thought of it a long time ago.
This world is not a modern society, but there is no such thing as legitimate defense! Moreover, most of the Liu family will not tell you any reason. You kill their people, and they will naturally retaliate.
Moreover, the yamen government may still have a bit of a deterrent effect on ordinary people, but it is basically unbinding on some powerful people in the rivers and lakes. For a family like the Liu family, the official yamen is even more useless to them.
In these situations, He Zhi had already prepared when he made a move. Even, He Zhi even thought of a plan to deal with it!
As soon as the recruitment meeting of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance ended, He Zhi had to find an excuse to leave home. After that, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, go straight to the Beiyue Sword Sect!
He Zhi estimated that as long as he moved fast enough, the Liu family would definitely not be able to react.
First of all, he borrowed the name "Mu Yunhai" to make a false shot, which would delay the Liu family a lot of time. If the Liu family wants to find out He Zhi's true identity, it always takes some effort. By the time the Liu family found out He Zhi's true identity, He Zhi would probably have already entered the mountain gate of the Beiyue Sword Sect!
When the time comes, where will the Liu family go to find He Zhi? They will not be able to find He Zhi when they hit the Iron Furnace Fort, and they will only bump into Lin Yuqing head-on.
When the time comes, Lin Yuqing, the "housewife of the He family", can't tell if she has a mouth. It's best if the Liu family can't find themselves, and they don't want to give up, so they take the "He family's housewife" out of anger and play dog brains with Lin Yuqing's brains! He Zhi thought maliciously.
"Oh, it seems that Lord He Castle has already planned, so Lao Dao can rest assured. When Linchen Lao Dao saw He Zhi's expression, he knew that he was definitely not unprepared for the Liu family's actions. So Linchen Lao Dao smiled casually and didn't say anything more.
After lunch, He Zhi soon ushered in the third competition of the day.
And when He Zhi and his party came to the venue where the competition was about to be held, He Zhi saw that those scattered cultivators were already waiting there early.
The collision between the loose cultivation team that defeated the Lin family of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the "Mu Yunhai" who defeated the two initiation monks in one move can almost be regarded as the collision between the two strongest groups of monks in this recruitment conference.
Therefore, when the competition between He Zhi and the three casual cultivators began, almost all the casual cultivators who were still in the recruitment conference rushed over. In addition, all the people of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, including Dan Sheng, also arrived.
At the annual recruitment meeting, in addition to sending a chief examiner and several supervisors from the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, there will always be some Loose Cultivators who are not sent by the Scattered Cultivation Alliance.
As mentioned before, the essence of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance is not a sect, but more like a huge consortium. Within this union, the many monastic societies are divided into countless smaller and more cohesive groups.
Because of the existence of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, the scattered cultivators of the Great Zhou have also gained a certain right to speak in the cultivation world. This right to speak naturally brings huge benefits.
And after these interests fall into the hands of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, they will be divided into countless small pieces, which will be divided among the small groups below. The strength of each small group in the Scattered Cultivation Alliance largely determines the proportion of interests they can occupy in the big cake of the entire alliance.
The new blood that the recruitment conference replenishes to the Scattered Cultivation Alliance every year, although at the beginning, it may only be regarded as a weak person with low strength. However, there are many people who do not lack the talent for cultivation, but it is only because they are casual cultivators and lack the necessary resources that their progress in cultivation is slow. When these people join the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, it is easy for them to cultivate and achieve great progress in one day. Maybe in a year or two, he will be able to become a monk with good strength, which will affect the division of interests of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance.
Therefore, at the annual recruitment conference, those really powerful monks will always attract the attention of many powerful factions of the Scattered Cultivation League.
"Grandpa, are you here too?" Before the competition began, Wei Yue'er had already squeezed to Dansheng's side with Linchen Lao Dao and her new good friend Xiao Su.
Although the area of Wandie Valley is very large, there are only a few golden treasures around each site that really have a good view and a close distance. Wei Yue'er and Xiao Su couldn't squeeze those children of the family, so they simply ran to Dansheng and directly occupied the best position around Dansheng - as the chief examiner of the recruitment conference, Dansheng naturally took the best position when watching the game.
After saying hello to Dan Sheng, Wei Yue'er raised her eyes and glanced into the venue. I found that my vision was clear, and I could see everything in the field at a glance, so I immediately nodded with satisfaction.
"Hey, what do you see there?" Xiao Su suddenly patted Wei Yue'er's arm beside him, and pointed to something not far from the venue and asked Wei Yue'er.
Wei Yue'er looked at Xiao Su's finger and couldn't help but wonder.
The location that Xiao Su refers to is about twenty or thirty meters away from the east side of the competition venue. On the ground was a dark stone slab, and the stone slab was carved with a very mysterious pattern.
Wei Yue'er can guarantee that this stone slab is definitely not something that originally existed in the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies. And Wei Yue'er quickly noticed that it was not just the position of Xiao Su's finger. In the four directions of the site, in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, in each direction, there is a stone slab with the same shape!
The patterns on these slabs are somewhat different, but they are all the same complex and mysterious.
"Uncle Shi, what do you see that thing is?" Wei Yue'er also didn't recognize what these black stone slabs were, so she asked the disciple of the Dansheng not far away.
"That's the array. Zhao Lixin replied meticulously, "Among the monks who are going to fight later, there should be someone who is proficient in the formation." As for what the exact formation is, I don't know. ”
"What?Formation?" Wei Yue'er was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong, "This new conference, can you still arrange the formation in advance? Isn't this a trick?"
"How can this be taught?" Zhao Lixin shook his head and said, "Our Scattered Cultivation Alliance recruits monks, which is originally to investigate the ability. If a monk is proficient in the way of formation, what is wrong with him using it in the competition?"
"This ......" Although Wei Yue'er still felt that something was wrong, she was speechless when asked by Zhao Lixin.
"Uncle Shi, what you're saying is not right! If it's a battle of life and death, who will give you time to arrange the formation in advance? Moreover, even if you arrange the formation, people won't fight you in your formation! He set up the formation in advance, forcing Brother Mu to have to fight him in the formation, isn't this a trick?" Xiao Su on the side reacted quickly enough at this time, and immediately retorted to Zhao Lixin.
"This is a recruitment conference, not a life-and-death struggle. But Zhao Lixin still said a word, leaving Xiao Su speechless.
On the other side, the moment he stepped into the venue, He Zhi had already felt the mana fluctuations permeating the real venue. In the state of the unity of heaven and man, the opponent arranged such a large formation, of course He Zhi could not feel it.
Among the trio of casual cultivators, the first one to appear to fight He Zhi was the bald monk.
He stepped forward with a slightly hideous smile and said to He Zhi: "Hehe, Master Mu Shaozhuang, in today's battle, I don't mean to take advantage of you. It's just that the Sprinkle family itself is a sword formation double cultivation. The unity of formation and kendo is the real ability of the Sprinkle family. You have good skills, and if you don't go all out, you always feel that you can't fight. So, Master Mu Shaozhuang, you should bear with me. ”
The bald monk said, hugging his fist at He Zhi, his attitude was definitely not friendly, and even a little provocative.
"Good. He Zhi also smiled and arched his hand.
Although the mana fluctuations revealed from the formation made He Zhi feel a sense of danger. But this kind of stimulation was exactly what He Zhi needed! The cells in his whole body seemed to be excited all at once.
At this point, the recruitment meeting was carried out, and the monks who didn't need others to give the battle an order began.
After a few short conversations between He Zhi and the bald monk, the two of them made a move in unison.
The formation used by the bald monk was something He Zhi had never been exposed to before. Therefore, as soon as he came up, He Zhi didn't dare to be careless at all, and used the righteous method of fighting to the extreme, and tentatively hit the bald monk's left shoulder with a cloud-turning hand.
"Hey!" the bald monk smiled sinisterly, his body not moving at all.
The next moment, the bald monk took a deep breath and suddenly let out an extremely strange shout: "Duh!"
A black gas visible to the naked eye spewed out of the bald monk's mouth.
The moment he saw the black qi, He Zhi immediately felt a great danger. Fortunately, He Zhi's previous move was a temptation, and he still had three points of strength.
At the moment when the black qi came to him, He Zhi suddenly changed his move, and on the side of his body, he wiped the black qi to dodge. At the same time, the footwork remained the same, and he still pounced on the bald monk.
However, seeing He Zhi approaching, the bald monk was fearless, and a sneer appeared in his eyes.
He Zhi immediately felt that something was wrong, his legs slammed on the ground, and under the explosion of power, the whole person rose into the air, directly crossed over the head of the bald monk, and fell more than ten meters away.
After landing on the ground, He Zhicai saw that the black gas that erupted from the mouth of the bald monk did not dissipate, but was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it turned around and chased after it closely!
He Zhi frowned, knowing that this black aura was useless to dodge. With a backhand move, "Sky Breaking Fist", he blasted back at the black gas!
Rumble!
The moment the fist came into contact with the black qi, a deafening loud bang was remembered in the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies. The black qi dissipated in an instant, and He Zhi was also unsteady on his feet, taking seven or eight steps back.
"Hey, there were two hits!" The bald monk not far away looked as if nothing had happened after this collision. He laughed evilly, and then opened his mouth again and shouted: "Duh!"
Another black gas erupted from the bald monk's mouth, and then it actually split into two and rolled towards He Zhi from both directions at the same time!
"It's actually the Four Ghost Condensing Soul Array!" At this time, among the monks of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance who were watching on the side, someone had already recognized the formation cast by the bald monk, "It seems that Mu Yunhai is in trouble now!"
"Four Ghost Condensing Soul Arrays?" Wei Yue'er stared intently at the situation in the field, and at the same time asked Zhao Lixin.
"It's a very powerful formation. It is said that it was created by the 'Liuyuan Zhenren' of the Four Elephant Gate more than 400 years ago. The formation can communicate the four ghosts of evil, gang, anger and resentment in heaven and earth. With the help of the power of the four ghosts, the soul element is condensed to form all kinds of wonderful uses. Zhao Lixin also looked at the situation in the arena and said to Wei Yue'er, "However, the Four Ghost Condensation Array cast by this person should not be complete. Otherwise, there should be more changes in this formation, at least it can condense the ghost form. Isn't the only power it is now. ”
"Even if it's just like this, it's already too much, right?" Wei Yue'er was still puffing up.
"Hehe, don't worry. This level of formation can't help the 'Mu Zhuang Master'. Zhao Lixin smiled and pointed to Wei Yue'er.
Sure enough, He Zhi in the field was not helpless by the bald monk's formation.
At the same time that the bald monk released two black qi again, He Zhi also began his counterattack.
