Chapter 182: Challenge in the Ring
The main peak hall of Baiyun Barren Peak is resplendent and towering.
Ahead was a square several miles in circumference, with slabs of crystalline rock laid out.
At this moment, people are coming and going in the square, and in the distance of the barren peak, there are still flashes of sword light, sweeping towards this side.
And some of the disciples who returned from outside the barren peak with the sword light were covered in blood, stained with demonic energy, and the smell of blood was thick and scattered.
Obviously, these disciples had just returned from hunting demon beasts outside the barren peak, and the blood on their bodies didn't know if it was the demon beast's or their own.
These disciples, the direction they were going, originally towards the main peak hall, but after glancing at the square, their faces were slightly shocked, and they all stopped, and then they all swept in the direction of the huge challenge stone monument.
Zhang Yan walked to the middle of the square, only to realize that the situation was wrong, and more and more people gathered in the square in a blink of an eye, all of them looked excited, and ran towards the stone monument.
The people who were originally surprised to see their group of four generations of disciples on the Green Cloud Shore also gathered towards the stone stele.
Could it be that there are already people preparing for the challenge?
Zhang Yan looked at the stone monument surrounded by a crowd of people in a blink of an eye, and was slightly surprised.
couldn't help but look around, and saw that there were still other disciples of the barren peak rushing towards this side, Zhang Yan confirmed the guess in his heart, and continued to walk forward.
Walking to the challenge stone monument, Zhang Yan saw two rows of large red characters on it.
The stele is several zhang high, the whole body is black, the upper side is full of spiritual light, and there are two rows of crimson characters, which are made of spiritual power.
On the left side of the stele is the name of the challenger: Shi Kaishan.
On the left side of the stele is the name of the challenged: Xiang Tianyu.
Zhang Yan also saw that at the bottom of the stele, there was also a row of blanks, which marked the challenger and the challenged to use spiritual power to type their names.
"Who is Shi Kaishan?"
There were hundreds of Huangfeng disciples gathered in front of the huge stone tablet, and there was a lot of noise and discussion.
"Shi Kaishan, isn't that the third-generation disciple of Huangfeng, who actually wants to challenge Senior Brother Xiang ......?"
"Senior Brother Xiang's current cultivation is already at the thirteenth level of qi refining, although his strength is not the highest among the second generation of disciples, but it is not something that only Shi Kaishan, who is at the eleventh level of qi refining, can challenge......, right?
In the crowd, there were voices of doubt.
"Hehe, you don't understand, although Senior Brother Shi is only the eleventh layer of Qi refining, it is said that Senior Brother has newly cultivated a powerful and unforged magic technique, which is specially designed to deal with Senior Brother Xiang's ......."
"That's right, but Senior Brother Shi not only wants to defeat Senior Brother Xiang and be promoted to the second generation of disciples, but more importantly, he wants to get the Book of Asking Heaven in Senior Brother Xiang's hands......
"Ask the Book of Heaven?"
"It is said to be a family heirloom of Senior Brother Xiang......"
......
There are more and more people gathered, and all kinds of discussions are endless, constantly discussing the strength of Xiang Tianyu and Shi Kaishan, which is stronger and which is weaker.
However, no matter how they discussed and disputed, the disciples gathered here were all filled with great excitement and anticipation.
After all, every time there is a challenge and competition in Huangfeng, it is extremely exciting and exciting, and it is rare for the young disciples who are cultivating in the Thousand Spirits Sect to relax once.
In the Thousand Spirits Sect, there is a lot of plunder and murder at any time, and it is possible to encounter killing and danger at any time, and the life of cultivation is so depressing, this is just an opportunity to relax.
Ask the Book of Heaven?
Listening to the noisy discussions of the people around him, Zhang Yan was sure that someone had already walked in front of him and started the challenge, and he also knew that the two people he had challenged.
It's just that I can't imagine that there are people like myself, not only to be promoted, to get better cultivation and to prepare for the selection of spirit seeds a year later, but also to get treasures.
"Hee-hee, someone has already taken the lead!"
Jiu Ling came over from behind the crowd, stuck out his little tongue, and said with a smile.
"That's when we start with the audience. ”
Zhang Yan said with a faint smile, muttering for a long time, as if he had already made a decision, and then gently squeezed through the crowd and came to the stone monument.
Seeing the blank space of the challenger at the bottom of the stele, Zhang Yan's magic trick pinched slightly, and the cyan spiritual power suddenly erupted from his fingertips, and his name was written in the blank space of the stele.
Then, Zhang Yan's nails swiped lightly on the belly of his fingers, and with a flick of his index finger, a drop of blood flicked down on the stone tablet where his name was.
Airplanes!
The moment the blood fell on the stone tablet, Zhang Yan's name suddenly turned red, and a scarlet glow.
"There is another challenger, it is actually the fourth generation disciple of the Green Cloud Bank, but the cultivation has been refined to the tenth level, and the strength should not be underestimated......"
"Guess who's going to be challenged?"
"The object of the challenge will definitely not be the third-generation disciple, with his cultivation, he will become a third-generation disciple soon, it won't really challenge the second-generation disciple, right?"
"Ten layers of Qi refining, it can't be a problem with the cultivation brain, right?"
......
On the stele, Zhang Yan's name was red and conspicuous, which immediately attracted the crowd around the stele.
It's just that after seeing Zhang Yan's cultivation clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
After all, almost all of the second-generation disciples of Huangfeng were above the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and the disciples of the eleventh layer of the Qi Refining Period challenged it, and their strength was very different, let alone the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Period.
Therefore, seeing Zhang Yan's cultivation clearly, the disciples of the Barren Peak around him all cast suspicious or mocking or stunned glances, all of them in disbelief.
However, after a while, the surrounding Desolate Peak disciples gradually quieted down, staring at the blank space of the challenged person at the bottom of the stone tablet, waiting for Zhang Yan to write out his name.
Zhang Yan's eyes fell on the blank space, and the moment he was about to make a move, he suddenly stopped, withdrew his hand, turned around and walked away, and returned to the team of Jiu Ling and the others.
"What's the mystery, there is still a blank, it can't be a temporary retreat, right?"
"Since he has written his name, it is impossible to retreat, how can this challenge to the stone tablet be used as a joke, even if he doesn't write it, the elders of the ring will help him arrange a senior brother of the second generation of disciples......"
......
"Senior Brother Xiang is here!"
In the crowd, I don't know who shouted, causing everyone to look in the direction of the square ring.
I saw that on the side of the ring made of a wide barren mountain a few feet high, a young man with a flying magic weapon under his feet swept into the air, and after looking at the crowd below, he swept directly towards the ring, and after a few breaths, he stood on the top of the ring.
The young man who came was dressed in a white robe, with a slender figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome appearance, standing straight in the ring, squinting slightly, ignoring everyone, and silent.
This person is Xiang Tianyu.
With his arrival, everyone who had originally set their eyes on Zhang Yan suddenly became in an uproar and ran towards the Huangfeng Ring one after another.
"This person is Xiang Tianyu, it's okay to cultivate, let's go over and take a look, if you want to come to that Shi Kaishan, you will come immediately." ”
Zhang Yan turned around and said to everyone, and then followed the other Desolate Peak disciples who were running from all directions, looked at the tall ring, and walked over.
The barren mountain ring, the dead wood and gravel on the top, the sword marks, the remnants, the iron chains are entangled all around, and there is a roaring sound in the whistling wind blowing from outside the barren mountain, which is slightly solemn.
Moreover, from the barren mountain ring, Zhang Yan could faintly feel a bloody and murderous aura, which remained undispersed.
At this moment, with the appearance of Xiang Tianyu, more and more of the Desolate Peak disciples gathered around the ring, and their cultivation ranged from the ninth layer of Qi Refining to the Thirteenth Layer of Qi Refining, and in less than a moment, thousands of people were already surrounding the Barren Mountain Ring.
"Hmph, Xiang Tianyu, you are really punctual enough!"
With a cold snort, a tall figure, with a dark black flying magic weapon the size of a door panel, swept over from the other side of the barren peak, with a loud and buzzing sound.
After the figure got a little closer, everyone saw that the magic weapon the size of the door panel was a huge flying sword, and the huge black flying sword was supported by a big man holding a huge axe, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a beard, and the whole person was tall and mighty.
"Shi Kaishan, when you were in the Ghoul City, you were not Xiang Mou's opponent, not to mention that now in cultivation, I have thrown you far away, what do you use to challenge me?"
When Shi Kaishan landed on the barren mountain and put away the huge flying sword, Xiang Tianyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said indifferently.
"Xiang Tianyu, today Shi not only wants to avenge the sword in the Ghoul City, but also defeats you, asks more Tianshu, and enters the second generation of disciples!"
The huge axe in Shi Kaishan's hand was the size of a door panel, but when he took it away, it was as easy as holding a wooden plank, the axe buzzed and danced in his hand, and his voice was as loud as a bell, and he roared towards Tianyu.
"Don't talk nonsense, Xiang doesn't have much time to spend with you! If you lose, your soul will return to Xiang XX today!"
After Xiang Tianyu finished speaking, his body did not move, and with a single move, a cyan flying sword swept out of his storage bag and swept in front of him with a streamer.
Then, Xiang Tianyu pinched out a strange trick in his hand, and then a blue-green spirit bead swept out of the storage bag and floated on a corner of the ring.
Xiang Tianyu's series of actions were indescribably indifferent and chic, and they were relaxed, which made many disciples under the ring show envy.
After all, Xiang Tianyu has not yet condensed his divine sense, and he can use the flying sword and spirit bead envoy to such a free scale, which shows that he is already the best among them in terms of cultivation and the cultivation of the hundred spirit tricks.
"Hmph, if you want Shi's soul, you don't have that qualification! Look at the axe!"
Shi Kaishan's two big eyes glared, and when Xiang Tianyu had just sacrificed the flying sword and spirit bead to the halfway point, the huge axe in his hand was already suddenly sacrificed by him, and it slashed towards Tianyu with a buzz.
On the side of the barren mountain ring, there was an old man who stepped on his sword and volleyed in the air, and when he saw that Shi Kaishan had already taken the first step, he frowned at first, and then came down silently.
"Go to the Heavenly Sword!"
Xiang Tianyu watched the giant axe slash over, his expression was as usual, he still pinched the trick with one hand, and the cyan flying sword in front of him stabbed it with a whoosh.
While!
The seemingly powerful huge axe, after touching the incomparably light cyan flying sword, was resisted, and the spiritual power on the giant axe and the flying sword collided and shattered.
Above the ring, the dust was flying.
"Destroying the Mountain!"
Seeing that the giant axe was blocked, Shi Kaishan's big hand like a fan suddenly raised and played a spell, and then, in the center of the ring, a huge palm suddenly appeared, roaring towards Tianyu and slapping it.
