Chapter 325 Battle against Qi Yang
It's not that Su Ziyi never thought of asking for advice from the other party, but he really couldn't hold on any longer.
The consumption caused by using the full force of Saluo Wuhen was greater than Su Ziyi thought. Not only was the remaining spiritual power drained away, but it even felt like he was overdrawn. Therefore, before Ou Wang could counterattack, he could no longer hold on.
Although it is a pity, it can only be like this.
Ou Wang obviously didn't expect Su Ziyi to admit defeat so neatly, but when his eyes glanced at Su Ziyi's face, it became clear. He nodded to the old man who was refereeing the competition without saying a word, and then put away Mo Mo. Dao got off the ring neatly. It's just that slightly raised brow, no matter how you look at it, you look unhappy.
Because his spiritual power was just exhausted, Su Ziyi walked down on his own without help this time.
As soon as he slowly moved down from the ring, he only heard whispers around him and the eyes glued to him, which made him a little annoyed. However, Su Ziyi and his family of three never cared about what people other than their own family thought of them, so they didn't even move their eyes when others made random comments.
For this competition, Bian Qing was relieved.
Like Su Ziyi, he discovered early on that Ou Wang's strength was much higher than that of Su Ziyi, so he was really worried about Su Ziyi being injured, and he was also afraid that Su Ziyi would get involved with others because of his competitiveness and would not give up until the end. But fortunately, Su Ziyi's mind was always clear, and after testing it with the most powerful move, he gave in immediately.
Maybe in the eyes of some people, Su Ziyi's move was really disgraceful. But in Bian Qing's view, Su Ziyi's approach was the most correct. Regardless of whether he had the ability to beat Ou Wang or not, at least Su Ziyi tried his best. His efforts were not only a respect for himself, but also for Ou Wang.
Moreover, cultivation is something that goes against heaven. Only with the belief that any cultivator tries his best can he break through the shackles of heaven and seek immortality and the ability to reach heaven.
On the other hand, those cultivators who have lost their fighting spirit before fighting, such people have weak character and are more likely to fall into the inferior position during promotion and breakthrough.
Therefore, the three people of the Su family are quite satisfied with this game.
Although he lost this match, it was not Su Ziyi's last match in the competition. Two days later, he would have to compete with another practitioner who also lost to win the qualification to challenge for third place. Therefore, after the game against Ou Wang, Su Ziyi did nothing else and concentrated on adjusting his condition.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Among the people who entered the top five this time, in addition to a disciple from the Qibao Pavilion, there were also two disciples from the Xuan Cang Sect, including Ou Wang. The remaining spot was taken by Cang Ming of the Yizhou Army. And this Cang Ming usually remained quiet, but until now, everyone discovered that apart from the disciples of Xuan Cang Sect, the cultivators of the Yizhou Army were also so strong.
On this day, the one who was going to compete with Su Ziyi was none other than Qi Yang, the Qibao Pavilion disciple who was eliminated by Cang Ming.
Although Qi Yang was an unattractive person, Su Ziyi was very impressed by him. He still remembered how Qi Yang used the judge pen in his hand to defeat Zuo Da of Tieshan Sect in the first match of the primary election. of. Especially the trick that makes the sky drizzle, it is so shocking that people will never forget it.
And Qi Yang relied on that move to pass three levels and kill six generals until now, until Cang Ming of the Yuzhou Army stopped in front of him, interrupting his path to victory.
Just as Su Ziyi had a deep impression on Qi Yang, Qi Yang also paid close attention to Su Ziyi. After all, Su Ziyi was the only cultivator who had injured Ou Wang so far. Although he still lost in the end, his ability in the early stage of foundation building was enough to injure Ou Wang, whose combat power was comparable to that of the later stage of foundation building. This was enough for Su Ziyi to become famous.
Therefore, when he and Su Ziyi were in the same arena, his eyes were full of caution.
There are two things that Qi Yang needs to be wary of. One is that he comes from the Treasure Pavilion with many treasures and gold, and he has a lot of elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, etc.; One move, that move has a large attack range and strong damage. If it is carried out forcefully, it will only cause people to continuously lose their spiritual energy, and in the end they will even be consumed alive.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Su Ziyi decided to strike first and attack fiercely to prevent the other party from having the opportunity to use the above two methods.
And when he did this, it immediately put Qi Yang in trouble. The Judge's Pen in his hand is not a melee-type magic weapon in the first place. It is neither long nor hard enough. Forcibly colliding with the sword for a long time will not only fail to bring out the advantages of the Judge's Pen, but will also damage the quality of the magic weapon itself. Therefore, As soon as Su Ziyi got attached to him, he tried his best to distance himself from Su Ziyi.
Unfortunately, how could Su Ziyi fulfill his wish?
Those who had previously faced Qi Yang were all very fast, but compared to Su Ziyi, they were far behind, so no matter how Qi Yang dodged, he couldn't get rid of Su Ziyi. What made him even more devastated was that whenever he wanted to take out a talisman or a magic weapon from his storage bag to help out, Su Ziyi would quickly block his actions, leaving him with no energy to think about anything else except to concentrate on fighting the enemy. thing.
Therefore, after the two people competed for more than an hour, neither party used their own unique skills. It was still a situation of one being beaten and the other chasing.
As for this seemingly boring competition, the people in the stands had no idea. After all, Cang Ming had basically used the same routine as Su Ziyi to deal with Qi Yang. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, if Qi Yang has no other way, he may be like the previous game with Cang Ming.
While the swords were flashing in the ring, someone in some of the boxes in the stands started talking about other topics.
Each force has its own exclusive box, and the emblem of that force is engraved on the outside of the box, so others will know who is sitting in this box at a glance. At this moment, in the box next to Xuan Cang Sect on the fourth floor of the stands, several cultivators wearing the same jade pendants as Qi Yang were chatting in low voices.
"Yesterday, the people sent out have returned." Although I knew that no cultivator in this venue would dare to have the courage to challenge their Treasure Pavilion and use their spiritual consciousness to eavesdrop on their words, at this time The old man who spoke subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "This Su family suddenly appeared in Dai Country. No one has ever seen it before."
"Well, I heard that their family is on good terms with Cui Yu, a core disciple of Xuan Cang Sect , and even the other two disciples of Xia Zheng have a very harmonious relationship with him."
Another cultivator followed up and said: "I heard that the disciples of Xuan Cang Sect helped find their current location."
"This is nothing." The old man who just started speaking interrupted: "Do you remember what happened to the Blood Refining Sect? The Su family first came into contact with people from the Xuan Cang Sect because of the Blood Refining Sect. Even in Tianlan City, They also had a hand in the matter."
As soon as he said this, others questioned: "Impossible, Su Ziyi is the only foundation-building practitioner in the Su family, and he is still in the early stages, so how can he have such great ability." The old man shook his head: "Then I don't know."
"But, one thing is certain." The old man narrowed his eyes. He is not young anymore, and has been sitting in the position of the elder of Qibao Pavilion for more than a hundred years. Seeing that the end is approaching, he has always only stayed at the peak of the middle stage of foundation construction, so he has long known that unless one day A great opportunity has come, otherwise his life would basically be like this: "When Zhu Lian led people to eradicate the blood refining sect branch, he was responsible for protecting the Qi refining period disciples and confusing and dragging down a dozen foundation-building cultivators of the blood refining sect. That person is Su Ziyi."
"Zhu Lian's opinion of this person is extraordinary!"
The old man said categorically, and at the same time, he looked at Su Ziyi on the stage with a bit of envy. However, thirty years old is already in the early stages of foundation building. What a dazzling achievement this is. If he has such qualifications and opportunities, then he... thinking of this, he immediately shook his head and laughed at himself, yes He got distracted.
Cultivation is inherently a matter of opportunity for everyone, and others’ abilities cannot be envied.
However, he still couldn't help but think about it, how great it would be if Su Ziyi was from their Treasure Pavilion.
In the Xuan Cang Sect box next to Qibao Pavilion, Xia Zheng and others were also discussing Su Ziyi's matter. Xia Zheng had a dislike for outsiders, so no matter how much Su Ziyi helped Cui Yu and Zhu Lian, he never concealed his displeasure towards Su Ziyi. Therefore, at this moment, when he saw Su Ziyi treating Qi like this When using Yang's method, the corners of his mouth turned up in a sarcastic manner, and he became sarcastic.
Others also knew where his heart was, and knew that there was nothing he could do to persuade him, so they simply turned a blind eye and pretended not to hear.
Here, on the ring, Qi Yang was really being tortured crazy by Su Ziyi. He was originally not good at dealing with opponents like Cang Ming and Su Ziyi, and although the two of them had different moves, they had the same routine. Not only did they use swords, spells, fists and kicks, but they were also faster than him. He was defenseless.
When it became even more unbearable for him, Su Ziyi's sword moves were just like Cang Ming's spear, with a hint of meaning already mixed in here. Although it was not a lot, it was enough to suppress the judge's pen in his hand. Therefore, when he was unable to dodge and used his pen to resist Su Ziyi's sword move, and suddenly felt someone suddenly appear behind him, he knew that he had lost.
Su Ziyi kicked Qi Yang on the vest and kicked him out of the ring.
Chapter 326 Lin Cong comes to visit
After knocking Qi Yang out of the competition, Su Ziyi felt inexplicably that Qi Yang was probably the luckiest among all the practitioners.
I didn't feel it before we had a fight, but after the fight, this feeling became stronger and stronger.
Su Ziyi thought about it and realized that whether it was Guo Xie or Zeng Ming whom he had fought against before, both of them were stronger than Qi Yang, especially Guo Xie. If Zeng Ming didn't use the black gold sword, he might only be able to draw with Qi Yang, or even be defeated because of Qi Yang's drizzle.
But no matter what, in Su Ziyi's opinion, Qi Yang has the strength to enter the top ten, but the top five is somewhat impossible.
After all, all the Xuan Cang Sect disciples who were eliminated before had strength superior to Qi Yang.
However, now that the competition has reached this point, it is useless to think about it any more. After defeating Qi Yang, Su Ziyi can challenge the fifth-to-three bye cultivator. This one is also a cultivator of the Xuan Cang Sect. Regarding the methods of their sect, Su Ziyi, after competing with Guo Xie and Ou Wang, I already have a rough understanding of it.
Therefore, he is quite confident about the next competition.
After leaving the venue, Su Ziyi was in a pretty good mood. But Bian Qing, who was walking next to him, frowned. He looked sideways and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?" He thought carefully about today's competition, and it seemed that he didn't do anything well. Isn't that right? He wasn't injured, so Bian Qing looked unhappy.
Bian Qing pursed her lips, looking like he was hesitating to speak, as if he couldn't decide whether to say something or not. However, when Su Ziyi stopped and turned his head to look over with a serious face, he knew that Su Ziyi would not give up until he heard the answer. However, this matter is not something that is difficult to talk about in the first place. It is just a little uncertain and upsetting. There is nothing bad to say.
He thought for a while and then said: "In the past few days, there have been a lot more cultivators near our house." Originally, he and Su Yulang had been busy with Su Ziyi's affairs recently, and they didn't pay too much attention to the surrounding things. It's just that the number of the opponent is getting larger and larger, and the opponent's cultivation level is not as high as his. As soon as he noticed something was wrong, he immediately discovered it.
"But -" Bian Qing frowned and said: "There is no malicious intent in these people. It should be because you did so well in the competition this time that you were sent here to check." In this case, Bian Qing also Very unhappy to see. After all, they came from the Yuan Kingdom. Even if Cui Yu and the others had no intention of investigating, there was nothing they could do about it.
What should they do if their true identity is found out by then?
Of course, what Bian Qing thought of, Su Ziyi also thought of. However, Su Ziyi didn't take this matter so seriously. He smiled and walked forward again: "Don't worry, so what if those people find out where we come from? Even if they know us The grudge against the Su family is nothing special." "
After all, there doesn't seem to be anything worth worrying about about us." Ever since he started practicing, Su Ziyi has been very careful, and with the inexplicable extra person behind him Master, let his precious secrets such as the cultivation of mind, sword techniques, and the essence of the five elements be well hidden, and no one has discovered it yet.
"So, what are we worried about?" Listening to Su Ziyi's calm tone, Bian Qing's heart calmed down.
Yes, what are you in a hurry for?
In fact, Bian Qing really thought too much. People from forces such as Qibao Pavilion did find out some things about their family of three, but these things stopped at Tianlan City. Because, after they entered the Kingdom of Dai, the first person with whom they began to have a deeper relationship was Gu Lincong, who prayed for blessings.
And praying is a force they are unwilling to offend.
Therefore, even though they knew that Gu Lincong could learn a lot about the Su family, people from all walks of life also returned home. On the one hand, it was because after the battle in Tianlan City, the Gu Lincong people disappeared; on the other hand, the cultivator who prayed was very strict. Although he seemed to have a good temper, it was difficult for ordinary people to find out from him. what.
In the end, everyone just thought that since even Gu Lincong had made good friends with the Su family, there must be no problem with the other party's background and they could rest assured.
As soon as this idea entered their minds, their hearts began to stir.
After all, Su Ziyi is a foundation-building practitioner without a sect! And judging from the information revealed by the other party, he is still an alchemist of a high level. No matter which one of these two identities he has, he will be welcomed in any sect in Dai Kingdom. Therefore, some forces, especially some small and medium-sized forces, are gearing up to absorb the three Su family members into their own sects.
However, thinking that Su Ziyi was still participating in the competition, they suppressed all their thoughts. Once the competition was over, they came to offer their olive branches.
Su Ziyi didn't know what these forces thought.
At this moment, he was in a daze because of the few people standing in front of their house.
"Master Gu——" Su Ziyi blinked, not expecting to see Gu Lincong at the door of his home today. Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was here to visit them. So, after a few steps, Su Ziyi walked up to Gu Lincong, bowed his hands and said with emotion: "I haven't heard from you since Tianlan City. I saw you today. , my heart can finally calm down."
"Fellow Daoist Su." Gu Lincong smiled at Su Ziyi and returned the same salute.
Gu Lincong did not come alone. He had just arrived in Xuancang City not long ago and didn't know where the Su family lived, so he waited until the end of Su Ziyi's competition today before arriving at the Su family under the leadership of Chen Qiuci and Xiao Ling'er. Along with them were The other person who prayed was his uncle in terms of seniority.
And this prayer Su Ziyi has also seen, it is the one who stood next to Princess Yilin in the main hall of the Xuan Cang Sect's lot drawing hall.
Su Ziyi didn't know the other party's name, but he saw that the other party was also a foundation-building practitioner, so he only gave a slight salute: "It's friendly." The other party also smiled politely at Su Ziyi. Although the smile was not as handsome as Gu Lincong's, it still gave people a pleasant smile. It feels pretty much the same. So Su Ziyi was stunned when he smiled like this.
After coming back to his senses, Su Ziyi led people through the door.
The spiritual grass in the yard was well taken care of by Su Ziyi. In addition to the spirit gathering formation, Su Ziyi also took the time to learn some formations to prevent people from entering to prevent the spiritual grass from being stolen. So as soon as they came in, Gu Lincong and the man who was traveling with him opened their mouths slightly in surprise after seeing the spiritual grass nursery in the yard. Gu Lincong sighed: "I knew before, Fellow Daoist Su, that your alchemy skills were extraordinary, but I didn't expect that you have reached this level." He just saw several rare spiritual herbs, and the elixirs
refined from those spiritual herbs
The level is not low. It was impossible for him to believe that Su Ziyi didn't know how to refine that kind of elixir, but still kept the spiritual grass in the courtyard like this.
Su Ziyi only smiled modestly.
As soon as they sat down, Bian Qing and Su Yulang served tea and snacks to everyone, and as everyone started drinking tea, the conversation started. While drinking tea, they listened to Gu Lincong talk about what happened after they separated, and then lamented that things in the world are unpredictable.
Before Xia Zheng and others invaded Tianlan City, Gu Lincong had actually left Tianlan City. However, he had not walked long at that time, so when a huge spiritual power fluctuation came from Tianlan City, he immediately noticed it. And because he was worried about the people in the city, he returned to Tianlan City again.
Su Ziyi really didn't know how to evaluate his decision.
Although Xuan Cang Sect's move to eradicate Tianlan City was a good one, to the ordinary people in the city, it was like the sky had fallen. Because no matter how bad Tianlan City is, it is still their current shelter, and when the people of Xuan Cang Sect come, even if the other party will not attack mortals, the swords have no eyes, and the noise generated during the fight will inevitably hurt them. .
And if the upright cultivators don’t hurt them, will those cultivators from the Blood Refining Sect become soft-hearted?
The people under the Paradise Sect have never regarded the lives of ordinary people as human lives. After the Xuan Cang Sect's people entered the city, they even took the initiative to fly towards places where there were many ordinary people, just to make the Xuan Cang Sect's people too afraid to take action. It is a pity that the person who went out to fight this time was Xia Zheng. He was decisive and cruel. Before the opponent had time to cause injuries to ordinary people, his head was already on the ground.
"This time, I am really grateful to the fellow Taoists of Xuan Cang Sect." When Gu Lincong said this, his tone was very sincere. Because he really felt that what Xuan Cang Sect did this time was to help ordinary people. Not to mention that this time did not cause too many casualties to ordinary people, the mere fact that ordinary people could be liberated from the harsh rule of the Blood Refining Sect was enough for Gu Lincong to retaliate with great force against Xuan Cang Sect's siege. Feeling good.
From this perspective, Gu Lincong is actually not as extreme as the Holy Father.
Su Ziyi thought like this.
After the incident in Tianlan City, Gu Lincong did not leave for the time being. He has the power of prayer and blessing, and is the best power to soothe people's hearts. Therefore, he accompanied the surviving people to rebuild their homes. It was not until the year later that he left there and came to Xuancang City.
After hearing what he said, Su Ziyi felt a lot in his heart, and his eyes when looking at Gu Lincong became more complicated.
After saying this, Gu Lincong felt a little thirsty. After taking a sip of tea, he turned his head and looked at Su Ziyi. With a trace of embarrassment on his face, he said embarrassedly: "Actually, this I came to visit you once. In addition to wanting to talk to you, Fellow Daoist Su, after we say goodbye, I also want to ask Fellow Daoist to do us a favor."
