157: Chapter 157 The Great Competition Between Good and Demon (Part 11)

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

Sounds of self-destruction rang out one after another on the Soul Stone Arena.

Righteous Path Cultivators were caught in the blasts of the Demonic Path's shameless resentment spirits, poisonous insects, and Human Puppets, and even if they didn't die instantly, they were severely injured.

Although the Demonic Path Cultivators were also injured by their own self-destructions.

But they still had countless helpers.

Continue to self-destruct!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Those Righteous Path Cultivators who should have been able to win by a narrow margin died just like that, due to the Demonic Path's shameless fighting style.

Once a Righteous Path Cultivator died, Old Ancestor Shi Kui would move to take away those Demonic Path Cultivators who were severely damaged and on the verge of death due to the self-destruction, inexplicably sending them off for treatment.

In reality, if they were delayed for a few more breaths, they would likely perish from their self-inflicted injuries.

Old Ancestor Tiger Roar clenched his fists tightly.

This time, one of his Tiger Roar Sect Disciples, who should have been a sure winner, had fallen to this shameless fighting style of the Demonic Path.

Being stared at by Old Ancestor Tiger Roar, Old Ancestor Shi Kui let out a cold laugh, "Why are you looking at me? Wasn't it you Righteous Path Cultivators who first acted in such a manner?"

Old Ancestor Tiger Roar also recalled how Old Ancestor Above the Clouds had previously saved a Disciple of his Yun Shang Sect, and his mood became increasingly heavy.

Old Ancestor Above the Clouds could sense Old Ancestor Tiger Roar's hostility, but he didn't care in the slightest.

He had to let Zhong Jiang win the death match to secure a spot for his Disciple to enter the Soul Stone Secret Realm!

Seeing that Above the Clouds showed no reaction at all, Old Ancestor Tiger Roar flicked his sleeve in anger and left the arena.

Old Ancestor Above the Clouds didn't care and continued to draw names from the list pool with his usual expression.

"Hidden Li Clan, Middle Stage Golden Core, Li Changqing."

Old Ancestor Above the Clouds' eyes flickered, and he revealed a strange smile.

People of the Li Clan, a thirty-year-old Middle Stage Golden Core, such a Prodigy; if he were to fall here because the Li Clan was waiting for an opportunity for Li Changsheng to acknowledge his relatives, I wonder what kind of upheaval would occur in the Li Clan?

Old Ancestor Shi Kui now also knew many things about the Righteous Path, for instance, that Chen Xuanfeng, who had killed five of their Demonic Path Cultivators in one go, was the son of Luo Yunkai.

And the leader of the Li Clan, Li Changsheng, was also the son of Luo Yunkai.

These two were brothers.

Old Ancestor Shi Kui smiled with extreme cruelty.

Ancestor Qian Hun and Hundred Insects were the same.

After the selection was finished, Li Changqing's opponent from the Li Clan was revealed to be a Disciple of the Thousand Souls Sect.

Only an Early Golden Core Stage.

Ancestor Qian Hun frowned, and under the signal of the other two Demonic Path Old Ancestors, he called over the Disciple and gave him a bottle of Demonic Pills.

It was a Medicinal Pill that would allow him to hold on longer after suffering backlash from self-destructing his resentment spirits.

"I will definitely not fail the Sect Master's expectations!" the Disciple swore solemnly.

As soon as he entered the arena, he popped a Demonic Pill into his mouth and released the resentment spirits he had been nurturing.

In an instant, the arena was covered in the sounds of wailing ghosts and howling wolves, and dark clouds obscured the view.

Beneath the twisted dark clouds, resentment spirits were roaring.

Li Changqing's expression was calm, with a sense of composure that put people at ease.

The Thousand Souls Sect Disciple sneered, "Self-destruct!"

The resentment spirit that rushed in front of Li Changqing let out a roar and exploded with a bang.

The terrifying power of the self-destruction swept in all directions, and even the Thousand Souls Sect Disciple's own resentment spirits were affected, blasted far away, their Soul Power dissipating, and their forms shrinking.

However, Li Changqing, who was facing this power directly in the center of the explosion, stood with his hands behind his back, only his hair and robes fluttering slightly, not a single speck of dust touching him.

The Thousand Souls Sect Disciple spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the unscathed Li Changqing in disbelief, "Impossible, how can you be completely fine?"

Li Changqing smiled without saying a word.

He wanted to say, are you kidding, do you know who our team leader is?

The biological son of that mysterious, wealthy Cultivator, Luo Yunkai!

Li Changqing couldn't help but feel moved when he thought about how his brother Li Changsheng had spent a vast amount of Spirit Stones to ask Duobao Tower to send various defensive Magical Artifacts to fully arm the few of them participating in the Righteous and Demonic Grand Competition.

Sure enough, the Clan Chief's decision to have Li Changsheng acknowledge his relatives was correct!

In the past, how could their Li Clan ever be this extravagant!

Third-level High Grade Magical Artifacts, and all were High Grade! A High Grade defensive Magical Artifact, the Small-Leaf Red Sandalwood Hairpin; a High Grade defensive Magical Artifact, the Exquisite Auspicious Pattern Cloud Jade; a High Grade defensive Magical Artifact, the Thousand Red Gilded Pendant!

This didn't even count the defense that came with his magic robe itself.

Even if he just stood here and let the Demonic Path Cultivator attack him, just by relying on these three pieces of Third-level High Grade defensive Magical Artifacts, he could wear the Demonic Path Cultivator to death.

And his brother Li Changsheng had prepared even more for him than this.

Li Changqing raised his hand, and a longbow appeared in his hand.

He drew the bow into a full moon, using Qi as an arrow.

"Swish!"

The long arrow of Qi with golden tail feathers tore through the air, the space slightly distorted, and in an instant, it appeared in front of the Thousand Souls Sect Disciple.

"Pfft!"

The long arrow of Qi pierced through the Thousand Souls Sect Disciple's forehead, bringing out blood mixed with white brain matter.

"Bang!"

The arrow of Qi shot into the arena behind the Demonic Path Cultivator, leaving a shallow depression, although the dent disappeared quickly.

Li Changqing touched the Long Day Bow like a treasure and carefully put it away.

Sob, brother Li Changsheng really understood him too well; this Magical Artifact longbow was exactly to his liking.

Unfortunately...

Li Changqing looked at the other arenas; those whose strength was weaker than the Demonic Path Cultivators were fleeing in a sorry state, and those whose strength was stronger were also exhausted by their self-destructions.

He couldn't bear to watch any longer and left the arena directly.

He couldn't compare to his brother Li Changsheng, he didn't have the ability to pierce through the barrier set up by the Nascent Soul Ancestor, so he could only avoid seeing it.

Li Changqing's victory injected a shot of adrenaline into the Righteous Path forces.

"Perhaps we can also imitate this?"

"Imitate, that's easy to say. A Third-level High Grade defensive Magical Artifact costs between five million and ten million Spirit Stones. Why not use these Spirit Stones to cultivate another Golden Core instead of investing so many into one Golden Core Disciple?"

"No, it would be enough for several Golden Cores!"

"Then we just watch our Righteous Path Disciples die at the hands of the Demonic Path Cultivators? You have to know that if everyone dies, the Souls needed for the Soul Stone Secret Realm will be enough, but it will have nothing to do with us."

"That makes sense. Although we can't equip every Disciple with the best defensive Magical Artifacts, we can choose the Disciple most likely to obtain a spot and fully arm him."

The leaders of the major forces withdrew their Divine Sense from chatting with others, lost in thought.

Immediately, they called over the Disciples on the list to make their selections.

It was both a selection and an explanation of the difficulties.

It wasn't that Li Changsheng was smart, and only he thought of the method of piling up defensive Magical Artifacts.

The others in the Righteous Path weren't unable to think of it, they just weren't willing to invest so much into a single Golden Core.

Now that Li Changsheng's move was out, the major forces had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow suit, and they truly hated Li Changsheng for it.

So you're the only one with lots of Spirit Stones, right!

Cultivators who had this thought were completely wrong.

In fact, with Li Changsheng's wealth, even adding Lin Hao's wealth, it was impossible to fully equip all five Li Clan participants with such luxurious gear.

Even if Duobao Tower gave Li Changsheng a 50% discount for the sake of the Young Master, Li Changsheng and Lin Hao had one month's pocket money from Luo Yunkai, which was 100,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

The two of them's Spirit Stones added together were only enough for this one set.

But...

Who said five sets were needed?

Li Changsheng and Lin Hao, accompanied by Li Changqing, appeared on the top floor of Duobao Tower.

A few hours later, Li Changqing, with a pale Face, followed behind Li Changsheng and Lin Hao as they left Duobao Tower.

In the next round, it just so happened that another Li Clan member was drawn.

A strange smile appeared on Li Changqing's pale Face.
