Chapter 143: The Grandmaster's Gamble
With the roar of a thunderbolt in the sky above the group battle space, this competition of eliminating 800 people came to an end.
Before the end of the group battle, Xiao Yufan cooperated with Burning Invincible tacitly, fished out nearly 100 spirit runes, and used the "Seven Peerless Sword Demon Array" to yin five geniuses who were on the list of emperors in the foundation building period.
The two brothers divided the spirit runes equally, and each received forty-eight talismans, and this report card was enough for the two of them to advance to the next round, and even be included in the top 20 in the overall ranking of the group battle.
However, it was not the two of them who were the most eye-catching in this group battle, and almost all the limelight was taken up by two terrifyingly powerful geniuses.
The Blood Sword Sect Xie Slashed God, the Heavenly Demon Imperial Family, and the Emperor of the Foundation Building Period ranked second.
In this group battle, from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, he captured a total of one hundred and seventy-nine spirit runes, which meant that he defeated one hundred and seventy-nine geniuses of the same rank in six hours, including some squads that joined forces to resist the enemy.
Such a record is really breathtaking, and I believe that even a monk would never want to be an enemy of such a half-step monk of the Dan period.
However, although Xie Slash God had the most spirit runes among all of them, he was not the most dazzling in the group battle space.
The reason for this is the existence of that person.
On the list of emperors, there is always a demon who has suppressed Xie Xie and beheaded the gods-Shura Temple.
Shura Hall Nian Wusheng, Chiyou relics, the first son of the Son of Heaven on the list of emperors in the foundation building period, this time in the group battle, all with his own strength, won one hundred and eighteen spirit runes, and in the process, broke eight Yellow Order Ancient Strange Arrays.
It must be mentioned that Nian Wusheng completed all of this within three hours after the declaration of war, and for the remaining three hours, he meditated on the spot without concealment, and no one dared to approach his side until the end of the group battle.
The champions and eyes on the list of emperors in the foundation building period have such amazing records, so people will naturally pay attention to the third place in the list of emperors in the foundation building period.
What is surprising is that Chu Yunbo of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, the flower exploration position on the list of the Great Emperor in the foundation building period, only won thirty-two spirit runes, and among all the monks who qualified, he could not even rank in the top thirty.
"Chu Yunbo can't be so bad, he deliberately hides his strength. ”
"He is a genius Daoist who has not been born in the Great Demon Sect for a hundred years, and on this occasion to alarm the entire Demon Realm, he should spare no effort to promote the prestige of the sect, what is there to hide. ”
"In my opinion, Chu Yunbo is nothing more than that, just now in the group battle space, I have been chasing him for a while. ”
"That's it, it's quite fast, as for the strength of the third on the Emperor's list, it's really not worthy of the name. ”
After being rumored out of the group battle space, two hundred monks who had come out of the line were introduced to the preparation area, and many people began to talk about the previous battle in the group battle space.
Those remarks about Chu Yunbo reached the ears of Xiao Yufan and Yan Wushu, and the two couldn't help but look at each other and laugh evilly.
Maybe others don't know why Chu Yunbo, who was on the Great Emperor's list during the foundation building period, is so "poor", but how can Xiao Yufan, the initiator, not know what caused it.
"Second brother, what do you think of the next round of group fighting?" Xiao Yufan's eyes swept over the rules of the second round of fighting, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.
Burning Invincible smiled calmly: "I am content to be able to pass the first round of group battles, as for this second round, I should do my best, as for the result, it doesn't matter to me." ”
The people who are still in the preparation area are all the best among the younger generation of the Demon Realm, although Burning Invincible is arrogant by nature, but he is quite self-aware, and he knows that with his own strength, the possibility of standing out in the second round is actually not great.
"Third brother, what are your plans?"
Xiao Yufan said thoughtfully: "The rules of the second round are that the two hundred people present will be divided into ten groups, and one hundred and twenty people will appear in the group. ”
"But this 'duel' is not limited to the fighting method, but there are additional conditions, that is, the two sides of the fighting method use the refining materials provided in the fighting method venue to arrange a formation, and then enter the formation arranged by the opponent, and then perform the fighting method to win after breaking the formation, and then win the battle. ”
"With my current formation cultivation, I should be able to make up for a lot of deficiencies in the cultivation realm, and I will do my best to fight for the third round. ”
"The refining materials provided in the Fighting Law Arena may not be what you need. ”
Burning Invincible reminded: "It is also mentioned in the rules that if both sides fail to form a formation according to the refining materials provided, they will directly divide the victory and defeat by the fighting method. ”
"Or if one side uses refining materials to form a formation, the side that is not arrayed only needs to crack the formation and then defeat the opponent, and it can also win. ”
When Xiao Yufan heard this, he smiled confidently: "Second brother, I haven't been in vain in the past few years in Frost Burning City, and the way of refining materials is also a manifestation of the cultivation of the formation path, I think I can still make the best use of it." ”
Seeing the signature confident smile on the corner of Xiao Yufan's mouth, Burning Invincible said with a smile: "I originally felt that I had made rapid progress in the past few years, and I would definitely grow faster than you and my eldest brother, if I met again, I would definitely surprise you and my eldest brother."
"But now that I am reunited with you, I find that your boy's growth is the real surprise. ”
On the luxurious judging platform, Ao Xuan waved his sleeves and hung an antique lamp in front of him, and there was a little spark on the lamp that seemed to be like a yellow halo of fire, as if it could be extinguished at any time, but if you look closely, you can find that this spark is so gorgeous, if you sweep it with your divine sense, you can find that the fire contains an incomparably huge amount of origin fire spirit power.
This lamp suddenly attracted the eyes of the remaining array path masters.
"Flame of the Flame"
The old immortal's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled faintly: "This flame marrow fire is a good treasure, just this one, it can increase the power of the fire magic weapon by more than three percent, but it is not the treasure of the Three Realms, if it is correct, this treasure should be harvested by Brother Ao in the True Immortal Cave Mansion that fell into the world." ”
Ao Xuan nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly, back then, I collected a total of three flame marrow fires in the True Immortal Cave Mansion, and now there is only one left." ”
As he spoke, Ao Xuan moved his gaze to Lu Wentian and said lightly: "Old Monster Lu, I heard that you obtained an extremely sharp gold magic weapon 'Nanming Lihuo Crow' a hundred years ago, if you get the flame essence fire to refine into it, it should greatly increase the power of this treasure, I will bet on this thing, is it okay to bet on you on one thing?"
More than 100 years ago, Lu Wentian once obtained the ancient relic "Nanming Lihuo Crow" in a secret adventure, which is already the top type of gold magic weapon.
It is true that as Ao Xuan said, if it can be integrated into the flame of the marrow, the power of this treasure will be greatly increased, and there will be a chance to fuse the treasure spirit, and one day it will be promoted to a quasi-heavenly immortal weapon.
In the face of Ao Xuan's proposal, Lu Wentian was not moved, it was definitely a lie.
"What do you want to bet on?" Lu Wentian hesitated for a moment, and finally answered.
"Bet on your Netherworld Enchantment. Ao Xuan chuckled and said calmly.
"Netherworld Enchantment Overview" is the essence of the formation path that Lu Wentian has studied for thousands of years by immersing himself in the formation path, and it is also his unique formation path strategy, and the secret book that established his status as a three-rank array path master.
Even among the people of the Lu clan of Netherworld Mountain, no one can pass on the complete "Netherworld Enchantment Overview".
Hearing what Ao Xuan said, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Wentian's eyes, and he stared at the former and said, "You are already the first person in the Demon Realm Array Dao, how can you look down on Lu Someone's small insect carving skills?"
"Old Monster Lu, you don't have to be modest, if you say that you are a formation path cultivator, you are indeed inferior to me, but if you say that you are an achievement in the enchantment, you are definitely above me. ”
Ao Xuan said unhurriedly: "If you lose, it's actually not a loss, it's just that I can look at the mysteries in it, or I can improve in terms of enchantment, so you can give a happy word, to bet or not to bet?"
"If you win the bet, "Netherworld Enchantment" can only be watched by one person, and must not be passed on to others. Lu Wentian said with a serious expression.
"The ancient god of Chiyou is on the top as proof, if you get the "Netherworld Enchantment Overview", Ao will only observe it alone, and it will never be passed on. ”
Ao Xuan made a promise very solemnly in the name of the ancient god of Chiyou.
"Okay, bet on what?"
Although Lu Wentian was extremely hostile to Ao Xuan, he was indeed extremely interested in the "Flame Marrow Tinder".
Ao Xuan received an affirmative reply, and pointed to the preparation area and said: "In this Five Domains Formation Dao Competition, your Lu clan has sent thirteen elite children of the clan to participate, and I will select thirteen people from all the participants in the Formation Dao Alliance to let them meet in the next round of group fighting." ”
"There are thirteen games in total, which side wins seven games first, and it is considered a victory, how about it?"
The Lu clan of the Netherworld Mountain is the largest clan in the Northern Regions, and the younger generation of elites in the clan emerge in an endless stream, because of the existence of Lu Wentian, the Formation Dao Grandmaster, the younger generation of the Lu Clan has all cultivated and studied the Formation Dao, and there has never been a shortage of outstanding talents.
The people of the Lu clan who were able to participate in the Five Domains Array Dao Great Competition this time were all geniuses who had been trained by Lu Wentian for many years.
In Lu Wentian's opinion, the geniuses in the clan that he personally trained all had the strength to be as good as Ao Xuan's personal disciples.
When Ao Xuan proposed this bet, Lu Wentian only pondered for a moment, and the corners of his mouth showed a confident smile.
"I have a request, in this Five Domains Array Dao Competition, there are nearly thirty people in the Formation Dao Alliance participating in the battle, three of them can be chosen by you, and the remaining ten people will be handed over to the several Grandmasters present to choose two each. ”
A hint of hesitation flashed in Ao Xuan's eyes, and finally nodded: "Yes." ”
Next, Ao Xuan personally set the three people, and then Du Qianyue, Lao Immortal, Shi Yuanhong, Bu Lianchen, and Grandmaster Huang each selected the two to set the list.
Among them, Shi Yuanhong, Bu Lianchen, and Sect Master Huang are all guest elders of the Formation Dao Alliance, so naturally they will not turn their elbows outward, and the candidates selected to participate in the battle are all medium and strong.
The definition of this "strong" is not only in the aspect of formation cultivation, but also in the aspect of personal cultivation strength.
After all, in this big competition, the cultivation of the formation path is good or helpful, but if the strength of its own cultivation is not good, its negative effect will be much more than the shortcomings of the formation path cultivation.
Lao Immortal has a good relationship with Ao Xuan, and he also selected two candidates with good strength to participate in the fight.
At present, eleven people have been selected by the Formation Dao Alliance, all of whom are half-step cultivators in the Dan Formation Period, and six of them are among the top 100 in the Great Emperor List of the Foundation Building Period.
However, when Du Qianyue chose to participate in the fight, she actually casually selected two people who were just cultivators in the later stage of foundation building.
Her behavior is obviously to help Lu Wentian, or it is more appropriate to pit Ao Xuan.
This was definitely something that the few great masters present had never expected, after all, the thirteen disciples of the Lu clan who participated in the battle were all half-step cultivators, and all of them had the strong combat power of a sect, and among them, there was one more candidate on the list of emperors in the foundation building period than the Formation Dao Alliance.
And Du Qianyue's selection of two monks in the late stage of foundation building to compete with him is basically equivalent to giving away people's heads.
Lu Wentian seemed to have anticipated this scene, swept over the names of the two late-stage foundation building monks selected by Du Qianyue, and said lightly: "Cheng Ziyao, the sixth-rank formation master of the Formation Dao Alliance, is a late-stage cultivator of the foundation-building, and Xiao Yufan, the sixth-rank formation master of the Formation Dao Alliance, is a late-stage cultivator of the foundation, it seems that Elder Qianyue is very optimistic about the formation path cultivation of these two little guys, but this cultivation realm is a little unsatisfactory." ”
Then, he smiled provocatively at Ao Xuan, who was frowning slightly at the moment.
Ao Xuan ignored Lu Wentian, but instead swept his gaze over Du Qianyue, who covered up his true face with illusions, and sighed meaningfully: "Qianyue, after so many years, you still refuse to forgive me?"
From his tone, it could be heard that Ao Xuan did not mean to anger Du Qianyue at all.
Du Qianyue's cold and emotionless voice came out: "Ao Dawu is serious, you and I have never had anything to do with it, how can I forgive me." ”
When Ao Xuan heard this, he smiled bitterly, as if he didn't want to dwell on this point anymore, and said to Lu Wentian: "Old Monster Lu, the gambling contract is recognized by both you and me, whether you win or lose, I recognize it." ”
"I'm relieved to have your words, after all, those two little guys in the late stage of foundation building are too weak" (to be continued.) )
