Chapter 59 The Last of the Four Updates, Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks

  "Haha... I thought we were going to compete on the pile of rocks, not bad, not bad." The Medicine King Valley's Qi Ziyun suddenly appeared on the new competition platform, tapped his foot a few times, and said to Jian Wucheng below, "Brother Jian, let me go first this round, how about it?" According to the order, this round should have been between Jian Wucheng and Tian Shui Men's Yu Rou, but Qi Ziyun wanted to compete with Fu Zongmao instead.

  "As long as Ma Dao and Yu Dao have no objections, I, Jian Mou, also have none." Jian Wucheng said to Qi Ziyun.

  "I have no opinion." Yu Rou's voice came from among the crowd at Tian Shui Gate.

  "As you wish!" Ma Bo of Fu Zong appeared on the stage in a flash as soon as he heard that Jian Wucheng and Yu Rou had no objection.

  "Alright, let's fight first!" As expected of the unorthodox Medicine King Valley, he was a good fighter. Qi Ziyun's weapon was the Sky Splitting War Halberd, and with it in hand, he charged at Ma Bo.

  Ma Bo was a disciple of Fu Zong, and he was not good at close combat. Seeing Qi Zi Yun rushing over, he quickly retreated and drew out his peach wood pen. As he retreated, he began to draw in the air with the pen, leaving behind a trail of faint golden threads wherever it passed. From the moment Qi Zi Yun entered the range of the golden threads, he felt his speed slow down. The air seemed to become very viscous where the threads had passed, but he didn't care about that and continued to chase after Ma Bo.

  "Heaven! Earth! Man! Trap!" Ma Bo suddenly stopped, and the peach wood pen shook. As his voice spread out, the golden threads in the air seemed to come alive, gathering at the tip of Ma Bo's pen, then shooting out again, enveloping Qi Ziyun in a trap array.

  As the formation was generated, Qi Ziyun suddenly felt that the airflow around him had become more viscous, as if he was walking in a muddy swamp. With one swing of his spear, he felt like he was slowly putting it down, without any power at all. Ma Bo's confinement array was not simply confining people within the formation; it also had a slowing effect, reducing the speed of movement and attack, while also diminishing the attacking power. Qi Ziyun's spear thrust had no power, and Ma Bo dodged and weaved along the way, causing Qi Ziyun to fall into a predicament.

  "This is indeed a clever way to counterattack!" Lu Yufeng watched the fierce battle between Ma Bo and Qi Ziyun, feeling somewhat moved. Although Qi Ziyun was clearly dodging and weaving, he was actually using his evasive maneuvers to neutralize Ma Bo's attacks, rendering them completely ineffective. This was truly an unexpected move.

  "Ma Dao is indeed formidable! Let's see the methods of Qi Mouren! Lian Tian Ying!" Qi Ziyun's whole body was surging with true yuan, and with a single spear thrust, the shadow of Lian Tian Spear filled the entire confinement array surrounding him. This move was extremely powerful, and it clashed with Ma Bo's Confinement Array Blast, striking the golden threads that made up the array, producing a series of deafening booms. It seemed as though Ma Bo's Confinement Array was on the verge of shattering. If the array were to break, it would become extremely difficult to trap Qi Ziyun with an array again.

  "Heaven! Earth! Man! Suppress! Suppress! Suppress!" Ma Bo also saw the situation in the formation, if Qi Ziyun were to come out, then the one who would fall into a predicament next would be himself.

  So the true yuan burst out and poured into the peach wood pen, three town symbols came out in a row, just to prevent Qi Ziyun from coming out. As Ma Bo's pen tip swung, three golden town characters were seen flying out of the pen tip, pressing against Qi Ziyun trapped in the array. The three town characters collided with the Lian Tianying of Qi Ziyun, two of which exploded and dissipated, while Lian Tianying also disappeared naturally. The last town character heavily struck Qi Ziyun's body.

  Qīzi Yún was struck by this blow, directly blasting him to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He immediately pulled out an elixir and swallowed it down. What is most abundant in Medicine King Valley? Of course, it's elixirs! The elixir only lingered in mid-air for an instant before being swallowed into his mouth. In this brief moment, the audience below smelled a faint fragrance wafting up to their nostrils.

  This is the foundation and advantage of Yao Wang Valley, fighting on one side and taking medicine on the other. Which other sect can be as extravagant as Yao Wang Valley? Fighting against people from Yao Wang Valley, if you can't solve them quickly, just relying on Dan medicine, you can exhaust yourself to death. After Qi Ziyun swallowed this Dan medicine, his pale face instantly became rosy. Seeing this scene, Ma Bo's face also turned black. No wonder his master said that when encountering people from Yao Wang Valley, he should try to solve them quickly, otherwise, they would be a troublesome opponent! If it goes on like this, if you can't solve it directly, anyone will get a headache.

  "Come again! Sky Splitting Shadow!" Qi Ziyun unleashed another Sky Splitting Shadow, and the countless spear shadows crashed into Ma Bo's confinement array. With a loud crash, the confinement array dissipated, and the golden threads in the air also vanished into thin air. As the confinement array was broken, Ma Bo, the main array master, spat out a mouthful of blood and rapidly retreated.

  Qī Zǐyún won't let him off like that, and another move of Lì Tiān Yǐng is swung out. This style of Lì Tiān Yǐng really has an extremely powerful momentum. Just now in the trapped array, it wasn't too easy to feel, but now this sky-full of spear shadows flying towards Mǎ Bó, no wonder Mǎ Bó's trapped array was so easily broken by Qī Zǐyún.

  Ma Bo looked at the spear shadows flying towards him, and didn't have time to admire Qi Ziyun's strength. The peach wood pen swiftly drew in front of him, "Heaven Earth Human, Control!" The golden lines this time did not fly towards Qi Ziyun, but instead wrapped around Ma Bo's own body. Just as the golden threads wrapped around Ma Bo, Qi Ziyun's spear shadows also struck Ma Bo's body.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom..." A loud rumble erupted, and countless spear shadows exploded on Ma Bo's body and the ground around him. The smoke and dust filled the sky, blocking Ma Bo from view. Relying on a defensive array method, he barely withstood Qu Ziyun's first strike.

  "Heaven, Earth, Man, Kill!" Before the dust had even settled, Ma Bo's killing intent could be heard coming from within the smoke and dust. Then, Qi Ziyun felt a surge of power emanating from within the smoke and dust, followed by a multitude of sword silhouettes emerging from the smoke and dust. With his Killing Array's power, Ma Bo used his True Yuan to simulate the multitude of sword silhouettes shooting out from the Killing Array.

  Qī Zǐyún's defense was insufficient, so he could only use his true yuan to cover his entire body. He withstood Mǎ Bó's killing array with a loud crash, and countless gun shadows bombarded Qī Zǐyún's body, sending him flying backward while spitting blood. Qī Zǐyún took out another dan medicine and swallowed it, then stood up and swung his Heaven-rending halberd.

  "Sky Splitting Shadow!" Again, a spear shadow filled the sky and struck into the smoke and dust. At the same time as Sky Splitting Shadow was released, there was also a loud roar.

  "Unwavering will to fight!" A Heaven-Cleaving Halberd materialized in front of Qi Ziyun, striking out at the dust and smoke with two consecutive blows. Qi Ziyun was also somewhat exhausted, although the medicinal pellets were rapidly healing his wounds and restoring his true energy, but it still required time. Qi Ziyun stood there, using his halberd to prop himself up on the ground, looking at the effect of this strike. After fighting for so long, he had already begun to struggle with maintaining his true energy.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom..." Another extremely loud sound came from the smoke and dust, when the smoke and dust dissipated, Ma Bo's figure was revealed. The ground around Ma Bo had sunk deeply, only where he stood remained standing upright. "Cough... Cough... Cough..." Ma Bo kept coughing there, each cough bringing up fresh blood.

  "Qi Zi Yun, you're indeed Qi Zi Yun, you win!" Ma Bo was hiding in the smoke and dust, not daring to come out. He knew that if he did, he would face Qi Zi Yun's fierce attack. What he didn't expect was that Qi Zi Yun would be so decisive, launching a barrage of attacks at the smoke and dust without waiting for him to emerge. Although Ma Bo had set up a defensive formation, it was no match for the sheer number of attacks, and his defense was eventually broken. Qi Zi Yun's attack landed on Ma Bo's protective true yuan, causing internal injuries. Despite appearing to be not much stronger than himself, Ma Bo was now unable to move. He decided to admit defeat. After conceding, Ma Bo really couldn't hold on any longer and fell straight to the ground.

  "Big Brother! Big Brother!" Fu Zong's disciples rushed up and shouted at Ma Bo, thinking that their big brother was already dead.

  "Don't worry, your senior brother is fine, he's just exhausted from using up his true yuan and mental energy. Help him get some rest." Qi Ziyun said to the several Fu Clan disciples, then walked down from the dueling platform with a slow pace.

  "Now, there's only one more match left!" Lu Yufeng said in his heart. The remaining eight people had already finished their matches, and now it was down to Jian Wudang's Swordless Dust and Tian Shui Gate's Yu Rou. This Yu Rou was the only female disciple who made it into the top ten, indeed.
