105: Chapter 105: Why did the Green Snake win so unexpectedly?
Countless rocks and earth pressed down.
It was as if a meteorite was falling.
The Aura shook the heavens, and the entire arena vibrated incessantly.
"Watch me subdue this demon with mountain stones today!"
"Mountain Suppressing Seal, fall!"
The khaki-colored stone Seal natal spirit artifact gathered endless rocks, wrapping the Seal layer by layer and transforming into a small mountain that pressed down toward Xu Qing.
The air emitted cracking sounds from the pressure, and the astonishing wind pressure almost crushed the arena.
"Suppress!"
A khaki-colored "Suppress" rune lit up, pressing down upon the small mountain.
It was like a meteorite from beyond the heavens!
It felt as if the sky itself was about to collapse!
The earth wailed in sorrow!
...
"West River Maiden wins!"
The Referee Elder announced the result, and then the man, along with his Mountain Suppressing Seal, was carried away.
"That was close, my scales were almost scratched."
"It seems I'm only slightly stronger."
Xu Qing patted his chest, looking "shaken."
He successfully entered the final round.
In the next match, Xu Huafan also lived up to expectations and secured a victory.
"Then, the final match."
"West River Maiden versus Xu Huafan!"
The Referee Elder appeared to be somewhat excited.
Finally, the ultimate showdown had arrived.
"Senior Brother Xu, you must suppress that green snake!"
"Senior Brother Xu, don't let the Xuanyun Sect lose face!"
"Senior Brother Xu, you must lift the Maiden's hat!!! This is my lifelong request!!!"
"..."
Xu Qing, whose hearing was now exceptionally sharp, turned his head to look at the fellow who said he wanted to lift his hat.
Noted.
The green snake would settle this account later.
He would show him what a Vicious Beast truly was!
"West River Maiden, thou art indeed strong, but before Me..."
"Before My trump card, thou canst only harbor resentment."
Xu Huafan was still acting like a chuunibyou.
This level of chuunibyou really made the snake worry.
"If I may ask, is your trump card that Five Divine Beasts Five Elements Wheel thing?"
Xu Qing really couldn't help himself.
"..."
"You actually arranged for someone to find out this information!!!"
"How is it possible? Only I and my Master know about this!"
Xu Huafan had a face full of disbelief.
Seriously, does this kid really know nothing?
Does he have no friends?
How pitiful.
"Hmph, finding out is useless."
"I will show you that in the face of absolute strength, any opportunistic tricks are useless."
Xu Huafan drew the twin blades from his back.
One long, one short.
"Ahem, then, the final duel, begin."
The Referee Elder looked at Xu Huafan and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The world is fair.
Although Xu Huafan is a Genius, it's limited only to Cultivation and combat.
"Slash!"
As the words fell, Xu Huafan's long blade slashed out a blade light.
Xu Qing didn't dare to be careless and met it with the Xiliang Sword.
Sword light and blade light flickered.
"green tail white hair sword, go!"
Xu Qing spat out a mouthful of Green Fire that Entwined around the green tail white hair sword, transforming into a Sword Qi green flood dragon and flying toward Xu Huafan.
Xu Huafan took a deep breath, sank his Qi into his Dantian, and held a horse stance.
"Dragon and Tiger Appear!"
Two phantoms appeared behind him, a Dragon and a Tiger.
He clenched both fists and pushed forward simultaneously.
Left fist Dragon, right fist Tiger.
They directly struck the Sword Qi fire flood dragon in front of him.
And then.
He violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Hey, are you okay!?"
Xu Qing was startled.
This guy wouldn't be trying to scam him, would he?
"Ahem, I didn't expect this Move of yours to be so strong."
Xu Huafan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling like both his arms were about to be ruined.
Damn it, he wanted to look cool by resisting with just his Physical Body, but he didn't expect this sword flood dragon to be so strong.
"However, I..."
"Weren't you referring to yourself as 'Me'?"
Xu Qing was very curious; this guy switched between 'Me' and 'I' so much that it sounded very jarring.
At the viewing area for the Golden Core Elders.
One Golden Core Elder couldn't help but cover his face.
Back then, seeing this child's outstanding talent, he took him in.
Thinking about it now, he felt that he had been a bit hasty.
"However, Mine is but a minor injury."
"Thy sword flood dragon is like... Wah..."
Another mouthful of blood.
"...Child's play."
Xu Qing didn't want to fight anymore.
Why was this guy like this? It was quite scary to fight him.
This was the Eldest Senior Brother of the Xuanyun Sect, the most outstanding Disciple of the current generation?
Heh.
How did he feel even worse than Wang Shumo?
"Snake demon, take this!"
"Nine Heavens Eight Desolations Flaming Dragon Heaven-Burning Slash!"
He flicked his left-hand short blade upward, slashing out a fire dragon that roared as it charged toward Xu Qing.
Xu Qing didn't dare be careless and quickly activated the green flood dragon ring, casting it toward the fire dragon.
The fire dragon didn't dodge at all.
It flew straight into the green flood dragon ring.
Holy crap, this was the first time Xu Qing had seen such an honest attack.
In the past, he always had to find ways to trap others with the green flood dragon ring.
This was the first time he encountered someone launching an attack directly into the green flood dragon ring.
It just flew right in?
He quickly activated the green flood dragon ring, tightening it around the fire dragon.
The fire dragon was instantly constricted and Sealed, dissipating into flowing flames.
"Wah!"
Xu Huafan spat out blood again.
In short, he was very regretful.
In reality, Xu Huafan hadn't been careless.
He just thought that as the Eldest Senior Brother of the Xuanyun Sect, how could he struggle in a fight against an outsider green snake?
He wanted to win handsomely, which was why he overextended himself.
"No, I have to use my trump card!"
Xu Huafan realized things were looking bad; if he continued like this, he might actually lose today.
"Green snake, you have some skill."
"But I..."
"It's 'Me'."
Xu Qing kindly reminded him.
"But My Five Divine Beasts Five Elements Great Wheel is no pushover!"
He suppressed his injuries and performed hand Seals.
Golden Dragon, Wood Qilin, Water Turtle, Fire Phoenix, Earth Tiger.
The phantoms of the five Divine Beasts were arranged in a wheel, each representing an element.
The Five Elements Divine Beasts roared continuously as they rose, rotating in the shape of a wheel.
"Wah!"
Xu Huafan spat out another mouthful of blood.
The Five Elements wheel became a bit more illusory.
"Not enough mana."
Xu Huafan's face looked very bad as he checked his internal condition.
It should have been enough.
Mainly to make the Move more imposing, he had used more mana on the Divine Beast phantoms.
The mana to condense the wheel was slightly insufficient.
"I can still squeeze out some!"
Xu Huafan gritted his teeth and continued to activate the Five Divine Beasts Five Elements Wheel.
As the last trace of mana was squeezed dry.
Xu Qing quickly performed hand Seals, and a set of wood armor grew out.
Two pairs of wooden arms extended from under his ribs, gripping the Xiliang Sword and the green tail white hair sword.
The Jade Evil Ruyi hovered above his head in a tilted position, ready to strike.
Flames wrapped around Sword Qi, transforming into a river of swords that flowed bit by bit around him.
"Crack."
A faint sound rang out.
A crack appeared on top of the wheel.
Xu Huafan was so scared he rapidly performed hand Seals, frantically squeezing non-existent mana from his body.
He couldn't stop the speed of the wheel's collapse at all.
"Crackle!"
The cracks on the wheel spread, and then, with a boom, it exploded.
Xu Huafan couldn't dodge in time and was directly flipped over by the explosion's shockwave.
He lost consciousness.
"..."
"Did I... win?"
This was something Xu Qing hadn't expected.
Wasn't Wang Shumo the Eldest Senior Sister? Why? Why? Why?
How did she lose to this... 'wise' fellow back then?
Why?
