PDLP Chapter 400 Hunting Battle 2
Chapter 400 Hunting Battle 2
As soon as the formation was activated, Cheng Jiu promptly crouched in the bushes to wait for someone.
Despite the taller vegetation and shrubs that towered over the surroundings, the Wuji Sect senior brother charged straight towards them without any hesitation.
Cheng Jiu saw the array he had set up light up.
"???"
Watching the burly man charge recklessly out of the formation without any regard for consequences, Cheng Jiu was filled with doubt. Ah, is this right?
It's completely useless!
As Cheng Jiu stood up, he met a pair of eyes brimming with fighting spirit. He didn't know when his senior brother had returned.
The big foot landed precisely on the array node set up by Cheng Jiu.
The formation has been broken!
"Fellow Daoist, let's have a match!" Before Cheng Jiu could speak, Su Yu took the initiative to challenge him.
He lived up to the impression of the Wuji Sect's barbarian body in the slightest.
"Good!" Cheng Jiu's vigilance did not relax in the slightest. Judging from the skill that this senior brother had just shown, this senior brother was definitely not as rough as he appeared on the surface.
No sooner had Cheng Jiu finished speaking than a powerful fist flew towards him.
Cheng Jiu instinctively tried to block with both heads, but was suddenly blasted away by a tremendous force.
What incredible strength!
Su Yu brandished his bronze fist and laughed loudly at Cheng Jiu: "Fellow Daoist, be careful!"
Without pausing for a moment, he attacked Cheng Jiu with such intensity that Cheng Jiu didn't even have time to draw his sword.
How cunning! This senior brother is not as rough as he appears on the surface.
Cheng Jiu used his footwork to maneuver around the enemy while thinking to himself, not giving his senior brother any chance to confront him head-on.
From the moment the ambush began, Cheng Jiu had been in a state of preparation. At the opportune moment, the Heavenly Wood Sword was drawn!
Seeing this, Su Yu's eyes flashed with regret, but her attacks did not stop in the slightest.
Cheng Jiu was surrounded by sword intent. This senior brother Su Yu's defense was truly amazing. Most of the sword intent touched his bronze skin without causing him any harm.
On the contrary, Cheng Jiu felt his tiger's mouth go numb the moment his fist collided with the Heavenly Wood Sword. Su Yu's palm also had a wound for the first time, and blood flowed from the wound, but the deep wound that exposed the bone quickly healed.
"Tiger's Roar and Dragon's Howl!" Su Yu looked at his fist, which was still injured by old wounds and had new ones, and quickly stopped his attack. His movements became fierce and decisive. As he moved, a dragon and a tiger appeared on his sides.
He roared silently at Cheng Jiu, and the attack came in an instant. At the same time, Su Yu's strength also increased dramatically.
"Truly impressive! As expected of a top disciple of the Wuji Sect. Speaking of which, the last time Xingyi appeared was a hundred years ago! I remember he was also a top disciple of the Wuji Sect. I didn't expect to see him in this year's class so early!"
Some familiar viewers exclaimed in amazement, "Xingyi! This is not something that can be mastered through hard work alone. Only a very small number of talented individuals can comprehend it. Therefore, Xingyi is also regarded by body cultivators as the entry threshold to the highest level."
For a body cultivator to be so highly regarded, Xingyi must be something extraordinary. Moreover, Su Yu has mastered both, making him a peerless genius in the field of body cultivation.
"His opponent is no ordinary person! No wonder he is that person's disciple! At such a young age, he has grasped the essence of swordsmanship so thoroughly."
After watching Cheng Jiu and Chao Yan's battle and learning more about it, the people around them instantly became Cheng Jiu's mindless supporters, putting their lives and fortunes on her shoulders!
At the opening, buy Cheng Jiu first.
Because of this unique individual battle, the competition can change dramatically at any moment. There are an unusually large number of people participating in the betting, and gambling dens are allowed to be opened in Chengdu. As a result, gambling has become popular, and the residents have some money.
The pool of potential bettors for this opening is unprecedentedly large, with even a favorite like Cheng Jiu having odds as high as 1:7.
"I never imagined that one day I would witness a clash between the physical cultivation of form and intent and the divine intent of swordsmanship..."
The outside disturbances did not affect Cheng Jiu and Su Yu at all, as the battle entered a fierce stage.
Wow, that's incredibly strong!
The more Cheng Jiu fought, the more excited she became. Her battles were either against opponents whose strength and cultivation were so high that she couldn't win at all, or against opponents whose strength was really average, and she rarely got to fight to her heart's content against opponents of the same cultivation level.
As expected of a sect competition, all kinds of geniuses gathered here. Whether it was Senior Sister Chaoyan whom she had encountered before, or Senior Brother in front of her, each of them had their own unique skills, and none of them could be underestimated.
Su Yu became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. He considered himself a genius and believed he was at least a hundred years older than his junior sister. Although she had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm at a young age, there was still a century of experience between them.
At first, he thought he could suppress this junior sister with his experience, but now he could feel that the junior sister in front of him was frantically absorbing experience in the battle and constantly increasing her ability to use it.
A thought surfaced in his mind.
He will lose!
How could this be? Su Yu's eyes gradually filled with a frenzied fighting spirit. They couldn't delay any longer; they had to finish this quickly!
As a disciple of the Wuji Sect, Su Yu can be described as very decisive. With the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers, two arms quickly merged into Su Yu's arms, one on the left and one on the right.
As the fusion occurred, Su Yu's body underwent tremendous changes, continuously expanding with clearly defined, strong muscles. His arms were so muscular that they seemed capable of killing a tiger with a single hand.
Standing at five meters tall, Cheng Jiu looked like a dwarf. His brown robes were tattered and hung around his waist, barely covering his private parts. His bronze skin looked as if it had been molten copper, giving him an astonishingly strong defense.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng Jiu, be careful!" Su Yu said, but his attack didn't stop for a moment: "Void-Piercing Palm!"
Countless palm strikes rained down rapidly, but Cheng Jiu's steps did not slow down at all, and many palm strikes still landed on Cheng Jiu's sword.
Cheng Jiu's sword dance was so tight and impenetrable that it completely blocked the opponent's attacks.
This power is actually three times stronger than before.
As expected of Xingyi, which is highly praised by body cultivators, it can fight, withstand attacks, and enhance combat power.
Even Cheng Jiu was a little envious. Envy is one thing, but she wasn't going to lose!
The Heavenly Wood Sword burst forth with intense rainbow light on the lush, green grassland. The vegetation that had been lying prostrate over the two fighting grew wildly, relentlessly attacking Su Yu.
At this moment, these delicate plants are extremely resilient. Under Su Yu's attacks, they are constantly being broken, reassembled, and broken again, but their vitality has never been cut off, and the plants continue to grow.
Su Yu felt as if she had been trapped in a ball of soft cotton. Every move and every stance seemed to be a futile effort, impossible to break free from.
All I could do was watch helplessly as these blades of grass wore me down to death!
He let out an incomprehensible growl, his eyes turned bloodshot, and unknown patterns began to spread across his body!
The ground rippled rhythmically with his low growl, instantly severing the connection between the plants and trees under his control. Cheng Jiu looked at the tall man who had lost his mind, his eyes darkening.
Is it possible to deliberately lose the initiative in the hopes of winning through a sudden burst of energy?
At this moment, Su Yu had completely lost her mind, leaving only the desire to attack. Each attack left a large hole in the lush green grassland.
The vibrant green grass, now reduced to nourishment for the earth under this attack, is now a mere source of sustenance.
The ground undulated wildly like ocean waves, attacking Cheng Jiu.
Cheng Jiu could feel that the earth was rejecting him.
Su Yu was also surrounded by a brown light unique to earth spirit roots.
Cheng Jiu looked at the irrational Su Yu with a strange glint in his eyes. What powerful control over earth element!
With all these factors combined, Cheng Jiu felt as if he were facing a ferocious beast from ancient times.
powerful!
This was Cheng Jiu's respect as an opponent, so she no longer held back. The sky changed color, and stars appeared in the sky. In an instant, the world changed color, and countless starlight gathered on the body of the Heavenly Wood Sword, making it sparkle.
The overwhelming power instantly brought Su Yu back to her senses. Feeling the terrifying force, Su Yu couldn't help but swallow hard. It was just a contest; there was no need for it to be a fight to the death!
At this moment, the will to survive took over the top of his mind, and one word appeared in Su Yu's mind: escape.
A bitter smile appeared on Su Yu's lips. He never imagined that one day the side effects he had been trying so hard to control would be used to escape for his life.
But Su Yu did not hesitate at all, and in the blink of an eye, he teleported a hundred miles.
Cheng Jiu is even faster, the Golden Crow transforms into a rainbow!
Sensing the approaching sword intent and realizing there was no escape, Su Yu decisively stopped, only to be met with an even more frenzied fighting spirit from Cheng Jiu.
Without fear, without hesitation, only with fighting spirit, he laughed loudly: "Alright! Fellow Daoist, then let's have a contest!"
In the blink of an eye, the world changed color; it was a confrontation between the earth and the sky. Cheng Jiuling was in the air, while Su Yu stood on the ground.
This is a clash between shield and sword.
Cheng Jiu slowly sheathed his sword. Su Yu collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious. Their abdominal muscles bore deep, bone-revealing wounds, from which blood continuously seeped, soaking the land.
Cheng Jiu slowly squatted down next to Su Yu, picked up his crystal, touched it, and got the points. He then hung the crystal next to Su Yu.
Cheng Jiu thought for a moment and set up a simple illusion array around Su Yu. Given Su Yu's condition, anyone who came would be a free gift.
This is a respectable opponent. Cheng Jiu acknowledges his strength. This formation is a small contribution from her. After all, they are still rivals. What happens next depends on Su Yu's fate.
Cheng Jiu opened the crystal. During the time she was fighting Su Yu, all the disciples from the small sects who had finally reached the cultivation level to participate in the Nascent Soul Realm competition were eliminated.
At this moment, only the disciples of the five major sects remained in the secret realm.
It's cruel, but it's the truth.
There is a huge gap between the disciples of the five major sects and those of the smaller sects; the weakest are naturally eliminated the fastest.
I need to hurry up and rack up points!
Cheng Jiu's gaze slowly settled on the disciples of Medicine King Valley. "Sorry, Senior Brother Liu!"
She still thought the disciples of Medicine King Valley were easier to handle.
"Fairy Cheng Jiu is truly beautiful inside and out. As expected of that person's disciple, she has the demeanor of a great sect, treating her opponents with such kindness!"
The audience mostly praised Cheng Jiu's actions, but the disciples of Medicine King Valley didn't feel the same way, because Cheng Jiu's destination was too obvious.
"Ah! Where is she going? What is she trying to do? She's shamelessly bullying alchemists."
"As expected, I still hate those guys from Guiyuan Sect the most. Senior Brother Bai was defeated by that senior brother from Guiyuan Sect before, and now he actually participated in the sect competition."
The disciples of Medicine King Valley who had watched the previous sect competition felt a pang of frustration; that was the closest they had ever come to Medicine King Valley's 120th championship.
If they can win the championship, they can wash away the reputation of Medicine King Valley as weak in front of other sects and laugh at them mercilessly!
But all they could do outside was protest; they could only watch helplessly as Cheng Jiu attacked their senior brothers and sisters like a monster being slain.
Cheng Jiu felt that he should not underestimate any disciple of Medicine King Valley. Along the way, the only two who could make Cheng Jiu feel troubled were Zhao Yan, whom he fought for the first time, and this Senior Sister Xue Yuan!
The disciple of the Criminal Law Hall of Medicine King Valley is slated to become the next Elder of the Criminal Law Hall.
Not only is his talent for alchemy outstanding, but his talent for physical cultivation is also comparable to that of the disciples of the Wuji Sect!
His wielding of the knuckle whip was powerful and fierce; a single blow would cause excruciating pain.
Cheng Jiu disliked fighting her. It seemed that she had investigated her and knew that she was immune to all poisons, so she gave up using poison from the start of the fight.
According to her, her knuckle whip was soaked in a very special potion that was not poisonous, but would amplify the enemy's senses to an extreme degree.
In other words, it will hurt a lot if you get hit by it.
Cheng Jiu is fast and has excellent evasion, but combat inevitably involves physical clashes.
Senior Sister Xueyuan was a ruthless person. Even after being stabbed, she remained calm and swiftly lashed out with her whip, like a venomous snake baring its fangs with no way to avoid it.
Cheng Jiu felt excruciating pain; his sect robes offered no protection, and a large chunk of flesh was torn out.
This injury was just a minor one for Cheng Jiu, who had a strong ability to recover, but the pain it caused completely exceeded the threshold that a person could bear.
Cheng Jiu twitched in pain, and the Heavenly Wood Sword in his hand was stained with the opponent's red.
Liquid continued to drip from the tip of the sword, but Xue Yuan remained unfazed, deftly swallowing the healing pills, her face filled with a serious and icy expression.
A calm madman.
Cheng Jiu sensed a level of difficulty from Xue Yuan that far surpassed that of Su Yu. This was not due to a difference in strength, but rather to her temperament. She was always calm, indifferent to gains and losses, and calmly assessed every confrontation.
Cheng Jiu gripped the Heavenly Wood Sword, his eyes calm yet wary. The two, both covered in blood, stared at each other, their eyes conveying the same thought: troublesome!
The next moment, the two were fighting again, sword shadows, whip shadows, and occasional muffled groans from those who were injured.
Seeing the people watching outside, I felt terrified; they were just too crazy.
The two were like wild beasts tearing at each other, feeling no pain, attacking relentlessly. This attack was mixed with danger and careful consideration. If they relaxed their guard even slightly, the outcome would be decided in an instant.
No one could predict who would win or lose; I never expected that Medicine King Valley would have such a figure!
Everyone remembered those two words: Xueyuan!
Immortal Lord Qingxu watched the fight on the big screen with a calm expression, but his hand unconsciously groped for the sword tassel, revealing his inner turmoil. It wasn't that he was worried about whether Cheng Jiu would win, but rather that he felt sorry for him.
The two people on the screen were in such a terrible state that their robes were almost completely stained with blood, both their own and their opponents'.
