Chapter 376: A Challenge to the Spirit Realm (I)

Of course, Huo Gongzi didn't know that for He Zhi, before his sword was stabbed, this battle had already begun.

Jin Tianhong on the high platform doesn't care about the bronze bell or not. Even during the break, Jin Tianhong never gave up harassing He Zhi.

Of course, on the surface, Jin Tianhong does not seem to be targeting He Zhi alone. His soul power was released on everyone, not just He Zhi, as long as it was a monk in the fighting arena, everyone would be disturbed by Jin Tianhong.

Even those outer disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were more or less disturbed. Moreover, as the strongest outer disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Wang Lu himself had already preliminarily comprehended the relationship between the rudiments of soul power, so he was also greatly disturbed, and even compared to He Zhi, it was not much smaller.

Therefore, He Zhi knew that even if he questioned Jin Tianhong's approach, it would not have any effect. Jin Tianhong can completely say that this is the normal content of this test.

You see, it's not just you, He Zhi, who has been affected, aren't our Ten Thousand Swords Sect cultivators also affected? Wang Lu is no worse than you!

However, this is clearly not the case. Jin Tianhong's soul power was directly aimed at He Zhi, and every time it struck at a critical juncture in He Zhi's battle. And even if Wang Lu will also be affected, he can still defeat his opponent fairly easily without being directly targeted.

However, He Zhi knew very well that in such a hostile environment, any words seemed so powerless.

He can only bear it!

Fighting with a Spirit Realm cultivator was not something He Zhi hadn't imagined before. After defeating Luo Tianfan, He Zhi had already realized that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was likely to let the Spirit Realm cultivator take action.

However, what He Zhi didn't expect was that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would be cheeky enough to let a monk who had almost cultivated to the realm of refining gods take action.

If the other party was just a simple soul condensing realm, that is, similar to the one He Zhi met at the Shueisha conference, maybe He Zhi would still have a chance to deal with it. However, a spiritual realm cultivator who has achieved the perfection of the Soul Condensation Realm has increased the pressure on He Zhi tenfold!

Especially at this time, Jin Tianhong was already using his power wantonly. He Zhi had to concentrate more than half of his strength to guard against Jin Tianhong's possible attack at any time.

As for the opponent in front of He Zhi, He Zhi can only deal with it completely by instinct.

In particular, Jin Tianhong seems to have a particularly deep understanding of "Fighting the Righteous Law", as long as He Zhi uses the tricks related to "The Righteous Law of Fighting", he will be targeted by Jin Tianhong almost perfectly.

Before the battle with that Huo Gongzi began, He Zhi had already fought with Jin Tianhong for several rounds. Jin Tianhong constantly invaded He Zhi with his soul power. His purpose was to make it impossible for He Zhi to prepare for the next battle.

Before the battle began, He Zhi was not given a chance to meditate or gather strength at all. Therefore, when Huo Gongzi stabbed out with a sword, He Zhi couldn't exert his full strength at all.

Moreover, although Huo Gongzi felt that He Zhi was already at the end of the strong crossbow, after all, He Zhi's previous fourteen consecutive victories were there. Therefore, Huo Gongzi will not be careless to underestimate the enemy.

His sword stabbed out, and he had already used the family heirloom technique, and the long sword seemed to turn into a pengnia, fast and fast, and it was also a little smart.

β€”β€”This Huo Gongzi is also the best among many scattered cultivation teenagers, and he is a cultivator in the realm of Taoism, so his strength is naturally not too weak.

In the face of Huo Gongzi's move, He Zhi's best response was naturally to directly use the sky-turning hand to crack it. Because He Zhi's cultivation is stronger than Huo Gongzi's, and at the same time, the agility of the Heaven Turning Hand is also stronger than Huo Gongzi's swordsmanship.

Huo Gongzi used this kind of agile sword move to attack He Zhi, but it was actually easy for He Zhi to grasp the weakness and quickly break it.

However, He Zhi has no way to adopt this most correct response now. Because He Zhi knew very well that if he used the Heaven Turning Hand to deal with it, then when he observed the opponent's sword moves, Jin Tianhong's soul power would definitely arrive first!

In the face of Jin Tianhong's soul power, He Zhi had to go all out to resist and not be affected by his soul power. At that moment, He Zhi had no way to be distracted to observe his opponent's sword moves.

In this way, He Zhi is likely to be self-defeating. Therefore, when facing Huo Gongzi, He Zhi could only calm down and passively deal with the opponent's sword moves in the most stable way.

Of course, in Huo Gongzi's opinion, He Zhi is simply showing weakness from the first move!

Huo Gongzi had just finished his first move, and he was already overjoyed in his heart. Although his first move was not able to directly break through He Zhi's defense, it gave Huo Gongzi the feeling that everything was under control. He Zhi didn't dare to fight back at all, so he could only barely resist.

As a result, Huo Gongzi laughed more and more proudly, and unfolded a set of ancestral swordsmanship freely.

And He Zhi is still the same as before, completely using the most stable and least likely to be disturbed to deal with Huo Gongzi's tricks.

In this process, He Zhi also continued to launch temptations. But the object of his temptation was not Huo Gongzi, but Jin Tianhong.

Every time, when He Zhi sensed that an opportunity was coming, he would suddenly gather strength and make a gesture of counterattack. And whenever He Zhi wants to gather strength, Jin Tianhong's soul power will come as scheduled.

Sometimes, even He Zhi just made an illusion of counterattack, and Jin Tianhong would also release his soul power to interfere. This is indeed very helpless, but it makes He Zhi understand one thing - even if Jin Tianhong is a spiritual realm monk, he is not omniscient and omnipotent.

At least, he can't accurately judge his every movement. He just relied on his own cultivation to be one realm higher than himself, and used his realm advantage to suppress others! Jin Tianhong did know about the Fa-rectification of fighting, but he didn't know He Zhi as a person!

Then, I just need to be able to fight against soul power!" He Zhi gritted his teeth secretly.

Perhaps He Zhi knew that any language would appear pale at this moment, so he didn't use words to resist. But this does not mean that He Zhi is ready to accept the bottom and give up all resistance.

Maybe He Zhi is not a spiritual monk, or maybe he is far from being qualified to compete with a spiritual monk. However, this does not mean that He Zhi can let a spiritual realm cultivator be humiliated like this!

The anger in his heart gradually burned, but He Zhi on the surface became more and more calm.

Huo Gongzi really found a feeling of joy in He Zhi's battle. He only felt as if he had never cultivated this set of ancestral swordsmanship of his own family so well!

When he was confronting He Zhi, Huo Gongzi only felt that his momentum was like a turbulent tide, wave after wave! Even when he practiced by himself in the practice room at home, Huo Gongzi did not feel as happy as he did now.

The only thing that makes Huo Gongzi a little regretful is that He Zhi obviously can't look good, but his tenacity seems to be quite sufficient. His set of ancestral swordsmanship has been used back and forth almost two or three times, but He Zhi still guards it steadily.

Several times, Huo Gongzi felt as if he had caught He Zhi's flaws, but after making a move, he found that He Zhi seemed to have quickly filled in the flaws.

To be honest, this feeling made Huo Gongzi really a little unhappy. And what made Huo Gongzi a little anxious was that the battle between him and He Zhi seemed to have dragged on for a little too long!

Aside from this battle of theirs, the battles of the other groups in the entire arena seemed to be over, or at least near-ended. Even a few sets of battles that were originally evenly matched have come to an end at this time.

Only Huo Gongzi and He Zhi's battle seems to be far away. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Huo Gongzi seems to have completely grasped the initiative and will soon defeat He Zhi. But Huo Gongzi knew in his heart that this He Zhi's resilience was simply incredible! He was not sure that this battle would end soon.

However, Huo Gongzi still comforted himself - He Zhi was obviously dying, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back from beginning to end. As long as you work harder, you can win this battle.

Moreover, seeing that He Zhi had gradually become out of breath, Huo Gongzi also felt that he had great hope. So, Huo Gongzi also gritted his teeth and continued to attack, constantly attacking He Zhi.

However, as time went by, Huo Gongzi's heart actually became more and more anxious. Because Huo Gongzi could see from the corner of his eye, the battle of the other people around him had ended, and only his group was still ongoing.

Especially the people who were originally regarded as the main competitors by Huo Gongzi, their battles have all ended. Those few people were already sitting cross-legged on the ground at this moment, hurrying to recover their mana.

Seeing this scene, Huo Gongzi suddenly felt anxious. His opponent is recovering, but he is still draining his strength. If he continued like this, wouldn't the next few battles become more and more unfavorable? Huo Gongzi thought anxiously, and even the thought of simply admitting defeat appeared in his mind for a moment.

However, this battle has been fought for so long, and in Huo Gongzi's opinion, it seems that he will be able to win soon! And he has already consumed so much strength on He Zhi, how can he be willing to give up?

Huo Gongzi, who couldn't hold back his anxiety, became more and more fierce when he made a move. Moreover, after attacking alone for so long, Huo Gongzi somewhat underestimated He Zhi's meaning, and felt that He Zhi had no power to fight back.

Under the anxiety, Huo Gongzi became more and more anxious for quick success, and many times even gave up the integrity of the moves, just blindly seeking ruthlessness and speed.

As a result, Huo Gongzi's sword moves revealed more and more flaws.

Maybe He Zhi spent most of his energy dealing with Jin Tianhong's attack, but this didn't mean that He Zhi could only let Huo Gongzi do whatever he wanted.

As the flaws in Huo Gongzi's sword moves continued to become bigger and bigger, He Zhi was already ready to fight back. It's just that Jin Tianhong has always been like a competent nanny, constantly harassing He Zhi when He Zhi tried to fight back. So He Zhi had no way to go all out.

But no matter how competent the protection is, it can't withstand Huo Gongzi's own death.

Perhaps when Huo Gongzi's moves are not flawed and need He Zhi to capture them with his heart to grasp them, Jin Tianhong's harassment can also play a role in hindering He Zhi. But when Huo Gongzi became more and more eager for quick success and became more and more unscrupulous, his swordsmanship had already been fragmented.

Huo Gongzi and He Zhi have been fighting until now, and he is really in a hurry. Especially when Huo Gongzi felt that all the people around him were looking at him, as if they wanted to see his joke-like expression, Huo Gongzi was even more upset.

When he made a move, Huo Gongzi no longer cared about kendo maxims such as "seven points of attack, three points of defense" and "no end of strength", and he did not leave any room for himself in his moves, as if he wanted to kill He Zhi with a sword immediately.

In this case, the flaws in Huo Gongzi's swordsmanship were already so big that He Zhi didn't even need to look closely to detect them.

And what about Huo Gongzi's own attack?

To be honest, Huo Gongzi's family heirloom swordsmanship itself is quite subtle. If he can calm down, he will slowly compete with He Zhi one move at a time. Maybe with Jin Tianhong's help, he can really spend it with He Zhi to the end.

However, Huo Gongzi only seeks ferocity now, but he has lost the agility in his swordsmanship. In terms of his own cultivation, He Zhi is not afraid of Huo Gongzi. Whether it is mana or realm, Huo Gongzi is completely inferior when facing He Zhi. He wants to defeat He Zhi simply with strength and ferocity, which is tantamount to begging for fish from Yuanmu!

"What a fool...... Jin Tianhong on the high platform also discovered Huo Gongzi's problem, he couldn't help frowning, and muttered softly.

At this moment, He Zhi also made a move. Although Jin Tianhong still immediately released his soul power to oppress He Zhi, He Zhi had been preparing for such a long counterattack from the beginning of the battle to the present, and Jin Tianhong couldn't stop it.

He Zhi's punch broke through Jin Tianhong's soul power harassment, and also broke through Huo Gongzi's sword momentum.

When He Zhi's punch landed in front of Huo Gongzi, he suddenly discovered that He Zhi was not completely powerless to fight back.

At this time, Huo Gongzi thought of hurriedly collecting his sword for defense, but it was obviously too late. He Zhi's blow hit Huo Gongzi's chest directly, knocking him out of the air.

After knocking Huo Gongzi away, He Zhi's body also shook, and he seemed to be exhausted. He didn't wait for Jin Tianhong and the others on the high platform to announce the results, so he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, as if trying to recover some energy.

Jin Tianhong smiled slightly when he saw this scene, and he didn't care. There are still a few more battles to come. A short break between such successive battles is just a matter of chatting, and it is of no use at all.
