Chapter 37: A Rainy Night
What started to be a light drizzle of rain grew heavier and heavier at night, gradually turning into a torrential rain, like raindrops the size of beans falling on the ground with a crackling sound.
A bright flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire mountain peak as if it were daylight in an instant.
"Boom. A thunderbolt woke up Xiao Wensheng, who was in a state of cultivation, and slowly opened his eyes.
Xiao Wensheng got up and came to the window, gently pushed the window open, and a burst of moist air came to his face, with a hint of coolness.
Xiao Wensheng's thoughts couldn't help but drift to a few years ago, it was also such a rainy night, he resolutely left home and embarked on the road to Kyoto to catch the exam, for a few years, hey......
Why have I been thinking about my family lately? The master once said that I should cut off the entanglement with the world, but how to break the relationship with my relatives.
"It seems that I have to find a time to apply to the master to go down the mountain and go home. Xiao Wensheng thought so in his heart.
Xiao Wensheng just wanted to close the window, and the sound of "popping" outside suddenly sounded, and the sound of someone walking on the stagnant water on the ground was not loud, but Xiao Wensheng's six senses were much stronger as his cultivation grew.
"It's raining so hard outside, who is going to go out?" The curiosity in his heart drove Xiao Wensheng to close the window, opened the door softly, entered the rainy night, and followed the direction where the voice just now was far away.
The downpour instantly poured Xiao Wensheng all over his body, in order not to be discovered, Xiao Wensheng did not open the True Yuan Shield, because the True Yuan Shield would glow in such a dark night.
The sound of snapping in front of him still came, Xiao Wensheng followed the black shadow from a distance, and it didn't take long for the two of them to come to Haotian Square one after the other, and the black shadow stopped under the competition table.
"Your Excellency has been with me for so long, isn't it time to show up? The black shadow suddenly turned around, and asked in the direction where Xiao Wensheng was, the voice was not loud, but it clearly reached Xiao Wensheng's ears.
Xiao Wensheng was shocked in his heart, he was all the way to collect all the breath in his body, his steps were as light as possible, and the distance was far enough, it was impossible to be discovered like this, unless the other party's cultivation was much higher than his own.
Just as Xiao Wensheng was considering whether to show up, the black shadow turned around and walked towards the competition table after waiting for a few breaths.
"Old fox!" Xiao Wensheng cursed the black shadow secretly in his heart, and he was almost cheated out.
Xiao Wensheng, who was hiding in the distance, saw that the black shadow would stay in front of every competition table for a while, squatting down for a while, and it was too far away for Xiao Wensheng to see what the man in black was doing.
After the man in black visited all the competition tables, he took advantage of the night to leave here and disappear from Xiao Wensheng's field of vision.
Xiao Wensheng, who was lurking not far away, did not move, but waited for a pillar of incense, and after making sure that the black shadow was indeed gone, he walked to the side of the competition table from a distance to see what the hell this black shadow wanted to do.
The pouring rain had already washed away the traces that the black shadow might have left behind, and when he walked to the edge of the Yuheng competition table, Xiao Wensheng stopped at the place where the black shadow had just stopped according to his memory, and squatted down to examine it carefully.
I saw that the wooden structure of the competition table was pitch black, coupled with the pouring rain, it was impossible to see the situation under the competition table with the naked eye.
Xiao Wensheng released his consciousness and searched himself under the arena, and a fist-sized round object lay quietly under the arena.
Lying down, Xiao Wensheng tried it, and just as he could get under the competition table, he took out the round thing.
This thing is quite heavy to start, and the surface is densely covered with some sharp thorns, and the thorns are also flashing with a dark green light, and it looks like it has been fed with poison, and it seems that this should be a round ball that can explode.
The people who will be able to play on the stage tomorrow are all the best disciples of each sect, and if this thing detonates when everyone is competing, it will be the consequences.
Finding this, Xiao Wensheng's cold sweat mixed with rain ran down his cheeks.
Xiao Wensheng hurriedly came to the rest of the competition tables, and sure enough, there was a round bomb like this under each platform, it seemed that he wanted to annihilate the disciples of the three sects in one fell swoop.
Who is it that is so ruthless, it is impossible to do such a thing after the righteous path, is it that there are people from the Demon Dao who have mixed into the Haotian Sect, or are there spies with the Demon Dao among the three sects?
Thinking of this, Xiao Wensheng realized the seriousness of the problem, and it was no longer something he could decide.
Taking advantage of the dark and heavy rain, Xiao Wensheng came to the place where the drunken Taoist was resting and knocked on the door of the drunken Taoist.
The heavy rain fell all night, and it didn't stop until the sky was hazy, Xiao Wensheng opened his eyes, got up and opened the door, because the rain came down all night and it was the top of the mountain here, and the fresh breath came to his nose, Xiao Wensheng took a deep breath greedily, and his face was intoxicated,
"Senior Brother Xiao is early!" Not far away, Yuan Qing's face always appeared in Xiao Wensheng's field of vision with a smile, and with him, he was always a taciturn girl, Yuan Zhen.
"Morning, Senior Brother Yuan Qing, Senior Sister Yuan Zhen!" Xiao Wensheng greeted the two with a smile, and the three of them walked side by side towards the competition venue.
The three of them came to the place where the draw was drawn, and there were only more than a dozen people who could stay on the stage to continue the game today, so there was no need to wait in line for the draw today as usual.
Xiao Wensheng stepped forward and took one out of it and glanced at it, 'Yu Heng. ’
I don't know what kind of opponent I will meet today, Xiao Wensheng looked around and couldn't help but think.
And what Yuan Qing drew was the Tianquan competition platform, and he was not on the same stage as Xiao Wensheng, Yuan Qing was obviously relieved.
Until now, Xiao Wensheng, Yuan Qing, Tu Gang, and one of the most outstanding disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect have not drawn each other, Xiao Wensheng vaguely understood something, the strongest disciple of the three sects, it is estimated that there is still a big competition left at the end.
Separated from Yuan Qing, Xiao Wensheng walked to the Yuheng competition platform, the referee elder on the stage smiled and nodded at Xiao Wensheng, Xiao Wensheng smiled back, stood still on one side of the competition platform, remembered yesterday's black shadow, and couldn't help but glance around the arena in the stands.
Everyone in the stands had different expressions, and it was impossible to tell if there was a man in black yesterday.
Xiao Wensheng decisively chose to give up, if he kept looking around, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of that person, and the sect master had already laid a net of heaven and earth, as long as that person showed a trace of horse's feet, there would be nothing to hide!
And Xiao Wensheng's opponent didn't let Xiao Wensheng wait long, this is a disciple of Haotian Sect, and it is also an opponent that Xiao Wensheng pays more attention to, it is the body of Yanyang, and a yang sword is domineering.
This opponent who still looks like a young man doesn't look very good when he knows that he wants to fight against Xiao Wensheng, and everyone knows that Xiao Wensheng is now one of the most difficult players.
"Senior Brother Xiao, how can I be an opponent with you, I'm really depressed. "Although the cultivation of this young man with the body of Yanyang is not low, he is still young after all, and he said coquettishly.
"Senior brother, your strength is not lower than mine, it is not certain who will kill the deer, let's rely on our own ability. ”
"Haotian Sect Tianshu Peak disciple Zhao Meng, please give advice!" As he spoke, Zhao Meng bowed slightly to Xiao Wensheng to show respect.
Xiao Wensheng bowed slightly and returned the salute, "Xiao Wensheng, a disciple of Haotian Sect's Tianquan Peak, please give me advice!"
After the etiquette was done, the two of them took out the pregnant sword almost at the same time, Xiao Wensheng took out the purple thunder sword, held it in Xiao Wensheng's hand, after the true yuan was injected into the sword body, a layer of faint purple light emanated from the sword body, and the purple thunder light flashed above the sword body and disappeared.
Looking at Zhao Meng again, a crimson long sword was held in his hand, and the sword body was also densely covered with Taoist patterns, and the raging flames burned on the entire sword body, and the high temperature made the vision near the entire sword body distorted, and it was impossible to see it really.
"The name of the sword is Red Flame, although it is not as good as Senior Brother Xiao's Purple Thunder, but it is not much different, eat me with a flame strike. ”
As he spoke, the flames on the body of the Red Flame Sword in Zhao Meng's hand increased greatly, like the flames sprayed out by an angry fire dragon, stabbing towards Xiao Wensheng with the determination to burn everything.
Chiyan was still far away from him, Xiao Wensheng felt a heat wave coming, and began to quickly pinch the seal in his hand, and the seal of the dragon shield was completed quickly, before the heat wave scorched his eyebrows and hair.
At the end of the game, everyone will get to know all the remaining people, because everyone may be their opponents, and Xiao Wensheng has given himself a protective shield at the beginning of the previous games, and this shield is extremely strong.
At this moment, Zhao Meng saw Xiao Wensheng pinch the seal again and opened the shield, but after a tentative blow touched the Canglong shield seal and tested the defensive strength of the shield, he immediately retreated.
"I know that you are an extremely rare Yanyang body, you must still have something to hide in the previous game, show your strongest strength, otherwise you will not be able to win. ”
"Thunder Spirit!"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Wensheng directly released his thunder spirit body, and the violent lightning wrapped around Xiao Wensheng's body, and even his eyes flashed with lightning.
"Senior Brother Xiao, as you wish, Yanyang Fire!"
At the moment when Zhao Meng finished speaking, a red flame burst out of Zhao Meng's body, burning, Zhao Meng was like a fire god, controlling the flames in the world.
And the temperature around him, the moment he released the flames, instantly rose, and even the competition table protected by the formation turned into a scorched black.
"Brontosaurus Lock. ”
On the tip of the Purple Thunder Sword, a thunder dragon with the thickness of an arm flew out wildly and wrapped around Zhao Meng.
After having a thunder spirit body like Xiao Wensheng or Zhao Meng's Yanyang body, their control of thunder or fire is already as natural as using their own arms, so the way of attacking is determined by their own thoughts, nothing can't be done, only unexpected, just like the thunder dragon lock formed by Xiao Wensheng with the power of controlling thunder and lightning.
The speed of the thunder dragon lock is very fast, and it is only a blink of an eye to wrap around Zhao Meng, this Zhao Meng is not flustered, the red flame formed a pair of big hands, grabbed the thunder dragon in his hand, and suddenly tore it in half.
Tearing Xiao Wensheng's thunder dragon lock to pieces, Zhao Meng threw the red flame sword in his hand to the top of his head, and the pair of flame hands held the sword body.
At that moment, the flames on the sword body swelled, swallowing out several feet of crimson sword qi, and with Zhao Meng's violent downward slashing action, with the momentum of destroying everything, he slashed towards Xiao Wensheng's head.
In that case, let's have a hard time.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Wensheng's mouth, and even a trace of excitement appeared on his face, this excitement of controlling power was completely different from the excitement of reading good poems in the past, he preferred the feeling now.
Oh, above Xiao Wensheng's head, two thick and powerful huge thunder arms appeared instantly, compared to Zhao Meng's flame arm, but it was much more condensed, when the purple thunder sword was held on this arm, the sword qi of Zhang Yu was long, if the thunder destroyed the world, it went towards the red flame.
"Boom!"
The red flame and the purple thunder collided fiercely, and the flames flew everywhere like an erupting volcano, and the thunder snake turned tactfully, and the entire ring became a sea of fire and thunder.
The huge impact of "kicking and kicking ......" made Zhao Meng take five or six steps back in a row, and then stepped on his right foot violently, which stopped his retreating body, his throat was sweet, and he squirted out a mouthful of blood donation with a poof, but the blood donation had not yet landed, and it had been evaporated by the high temperature.
On the other hand, Xiao Wensheng's whole body only took half a step back and stabilized his body, his face was calm, and he looked at Zhao Meng quietly.
On the stands, the fifth senior brother Hou Guang and several senior brothers have been watching Xiao Wensheng's game, and they are cheering for him at the moment, in the back row of the competition platform, there is a young man, dressed as a heavenly machine teacher, this man inexplicably showed an extremely excited look on his face, as if he was playing on the competition platform.
"It's a pity that these good skins are all of the best quality. Mixed with the cheers, the man muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
