Chapter 52: The Strong Gather, Fourth Update, Seeking Recommendations
"Die!" The demon clan was like this, as long as they had unleashed their true flames, they would absolutely make a move to kill. They didn't care if it was just a test or not. This was the demon clan's innate wildness, and no one could change it. Even if they transformed into human form, in the end, they were still not humans. They only followed their own set of rules.
"Let's see if this technique has any attacking power, Red Dust Turbulence!" Nangong Xiner looked at Bao Ming and made a killer move, no longer holding back. One by one, her techniques were unleashed, heavily striking Bao Ming's body, forcing him to frantically dodge around. For a moment, Bao Ming was forced into a desperate state.
"This is all your fault! ROAR!" Bao Ming was truly enraged by Nan Gong Xiner, letting out a loud roar as he transformed into his true form. This was a leopard with spots all over its body, nearly one zhang tall, exuding an aura of power and dominance. After transforming, the leopard let out several mighty roars before pouncing on Nan Gong Xiner. The best combat form for demons wasn't their human form, but rather their true form after transformation, which would greatly increase their strength.
"Don't think that just because I've transformed into my true form, I'll be afraid of you! Three thousand feet of red dust!" Suddenly, the three-foot-long red silk thread of Nangong Xiner actually burst forth, and Nangong Xiner's cultivation was fully revealed. The red thread directly clashed with Bao Ming's palm, and the two were locked in a stalemate.
"Awesome! Too strong!" Lu Yufeng had already stood up, his heart filled with admiration. He had long known that the Three Heroes and Two Saints were not ordinary, but he hadn't expected them to be this powerful. If his physical body hadn't broken through before, he would never have dared to fight the Three Heroes and Two Saints head-on, that would be seeking death. Lu Yufeng also knew why Chen Yong had lost so quickly to Xiaobao Wang back then, it was simply not on the same level.
"No wonder Shixiong said he and San Jie Er Xian are far apart, looking at this momentum, if I don't use the Qifeng Seal, there's no way to compare with them!" Lu Yufeng couldn't help but make a clear recognition of his own strength.
The two of them were locked in a stalemate for a while, and then Bao Ming let out a loud roar, fiercely pressing down on the red ribbon that was wrapped around Nangong Xiner's wrist. With one swift motion, he snapped the ribbon open, and Nangong Xiner was sent flying backward by the force of the recoil, crashing to the ground with a mouthful of blood. Bao Ming slowly walked towards Nangong Xiner, who lay on the ground.
This blow was made by Bao Ming with a hint of anger, and the previous attack by Nangong Xiner had hurt his pride, so he didn't hold back. Both of them were in their best state when they attacked, so Nangong Xiner suffered some serious injuries from this blow.
"I just told you, you're not my opponent! Now I'm going to kick you down!" Bao Ming said viciously to Nangong Xiner, now there's no time to be gentle and delicate!
"Do you think you've won for sure?" Nangong Xiner slowly stood up, saying coldly to Bao Ming who was walking over. Then, she saw Nangong Xiner's hands shake once, and her aura recovered to its peak state.
Lu Yu Feng also knew that Nan Gong Xin Er wouldn't lose so easily, although overall her strength was still a few points lower compared to Bao Ming. But who is Nan Gong Xin Er? Not to mention being the Heart Fairy among the Three Heroes and Two Fairies, she's also the Sect Master's daughter! Wouldn't she have some life-saving ultimate technique? Although in today's cultivation world, secret techniques are rare, but even a small sect like Feng Chen has one, how could Nan Gong Xin Er not have one? Who would believe it if he said it out loud?! Lu Yu Feng felt that Nan Gong Xin Er must have used a secret technique earlier, one that allowed her to recover to her peak state.
"This is absolutely a precious secret method!" Lu Yufeng made a judgment on Nangong Xiner's secret method.
"Secret technique? You think using a secret technique can defeat me?" The leopard Ming, transformed into its true form, said loudly. Then, it let out a loud roar and attacked Nan Gong Xiner first.
"Whether we can win or not, only time will tell!" Nangong Xiner shook her red scarf and charged at Bao Ming.
"Open mountain and split stone!"
"Three thousand feet of white hair!"
Again two strongest attacks collided, both of them flew backward at the same time. The places they flew over were sprinkled with a lot of blood. Both of them were severely injured in this strike.
Nangong Xiner suspended in mid-air, halted her inverted flight, and with a burst of energy, she regained her peak state!
"Three thousand feet of white hair!" Nangong Xiner, who had recovered to her peak state, took advantage of Bao Ming's momentary loss of balance in mid-air and launched another attack, striking Bao Ming with a fierce blow. Bao Ming watched as the red ribbon hurtled towards him and struggled to steady himself, but it was too late. The ribbon struck him with tremendous force, sending him flying out of the arena.
The leopard stood up from the ground, loudly roaring under the dueling platform. He was extremely dissatisfied and would have already won if it weren't for Nan Gong Xiner using a secret technique. He still had the strength to fight again and hadn't actually lost, but a duel is a duel with its own rules. This wasn't a life-or-death battle, and falling off the dueling platform would also be considered a loss, so he could only stand under the dueling platform and roar loudly.
Lyu Feng was also extremely surprised by the result, Nangong Xiner was very strong, but Bao Ming's physical cultivation was just a transformation of Yuan Da Yuan Man, let alone adding true yuan and combat skills. In Lyu Feng's estimation, after waiting for Nangong Xiner's secret method to take effect, she would definitely lose, only Lyu Feng didn't expect that Nangong Xiner's secret method would allow her to always maintain a state of peak condition, even if Bao Ming wasn't knocked off the trial platform, it would be difficult to withstand Nangong Xiner's next attack.
"This round, Yunyang Sect's Nangong Xiner has won. Now, the first ten consecutive wins have been born, and now please let these ten disciples come on stage to draw the next big battle number!" This time, the judge who came up was a bit different, only lightly announcing Yunyang Sect's victory before letting the ten contestants take the stage.
"It seems that the final battle is about to begin, and the excitement is just starting! Lu Yufeng was overjoyed, fortunately he had arrived in time. Lu Yufeng had learned about the rules of this competition during his time at the sect, first, the ten people who won ten consecutive matches would proceed to the final battle, which would determine the most important resource - the Crystal Stone. This is the climax of the competition. The resources of the cultivation world are scarce, and there are currently only ten large crystal veins, but they vary in size. These ten people will be competing for them in the end, as for those who did not make it to the final round, they can only compete for the smaller crystal veins."
The judge had just finished speaking and flew away from the competition stage. After the judge left, a strong aura suddenly rose from the east side of the competition stage. From this aura, Lu Yufeng felt an intense pressure. Looking at the aura, Lu Yufeng knew that it was someone from the Tianmo Gate. Because people in the demon gate have some special aura, which Lu Yufeng learned from Fengchen's mouth. Just as everyone was still immersed in the vastness of this aura, another strong aura suddenly rose from the south side of the competition stage. This aura mixed with the most familiar demonic power to Lu Yufeng. Lu Yufeng had stayed in the demon forest for a few years and was most sensitive to the aura of the demon clan.
"You're the one who's most anxious, Mo Wu Xiang! The referee just left and you can't hold back!" A faintly mocking voice emerged from this aura imbued with demonic energy. Then, two auras collided, and rumbles of thunder echoed through the sky.
"Jin Yu, where can you be good at again! Your demon clan is thick-skinned, and your face skin is even thicker!" Mo Wu responded with the same sarcastic tone.
"I, the master of Yuxian Gate, will naturally take good care of all the Taoist friends!" Just as Mo Wuxiang and Jinyu were chatting, another voice came over faintly, accompanied by an extremely powerful aura that gave people a sharp feeling, and one could sense that it was someone from Yuxian Gate.
"Jian Wuchen, you won ten matches and then disappeared without a trace, causing our young master to search for you everywhere! Now you've finally shown your face!" Mo Wuxiang's voice came from his aura, and then everyone felt the three auras fiercely colliding with each other, locked in a stalemate. The three men's auras were extremely grand, and for a moment, no one backed down. The rumbling sound emitted was like thunder, shaking the eardrums of the audience below, causing some people to cover their ears, but it was useless. This was a collision of auras, and covering one's ears couldn't block it out.
Lu Yu hurriedly circulated his true yuan and only then did the buzzing in his head gradually subside, but he could still feel the thick and powerful aura.
"How can the lively scene be without me, King of Medicine Valley, Qi Ziyun?" Just as the three auras were about to collide, another voice came from the west side of the arena. This voice carried a strong aura and heavily collided with the three auras that were already clashing, causing the four auras to clash against each other.
