Chapter 434: Ding Juan: Narrow Victory, Silent Undercurrent
"Tao Juji." The middle-aged man bowed with great momentum, his eyes like an eagle, staring straight at Chen Huaisheng.
The Tao family of the capital ranks third on the list of aristocratic families, second only to the Zhao family and the Shi family, while Tao Juji ranks ninth on the Dragon and Tiger Qingyun list.
"Chonghua Chen Huaisheng." Chen Huaisheng also bowed lightly, his expression calm.
In this Taoist meeting, he only intends to challenge this talent of the Tao family, and he is not going to touch the one of the Zhao family.
Even if that person ranks eighth, and may not be as strong as the one in front of him, but after all, he is an official. If there is no special reason or reason, he will not touch him.
"Please!"
"Please!"
As soon as the voice came out, the other party made a light leap, ten feet away, and arrived in the blink of an eye, and immediately flew over his head.
Chen Huaisheng was also shocked.
This was the first time he faced the foundation building in a head-on state. Although he had encountered it in actual combat before, it was the first time for him to confront it in such an upright manner.
However, after entering the foundation building stage, Chen Huaisheng's state was completely different from that of the Qi Refining stage.
Without moving his feet, his body twisted strangely, and he wanted to get out of the opponent's attack range, but the opponent obviously would not give Chen Huaisheng, who had lost the initiative, a chance to escape.
He only felt the cold wind covering his head, like a bird of prey covering the sky.
The opponent's body suddenly expanded, and the huge robe blew up, and the frost in the sky instantly froze the entire space within three feet.
Almost at the same time, a dark blue long sword flew out from behind his neck, and a strange arc of light swept across, cutting him in the waist!
The spells and sword cultivation burst out at the same time!
This guy was determined to win with one blow.
The endless cold filled the entire space almost in an instant. Chen Huaisheng only felt that except for the heart lamp of the cauldron, his entire body, from meridians to bones, was frozen!
Chen Huaisheng was shocked. This guy is already in the second stage of foundation building? !
He actually tricked me?
It is impossible for a person at the first level of foundation building to have such a strong spiritual power!
But how did the other party hide the strength of the second level of foundation building?
Could it be that the Dao Palace was playing tricks and targeting the Chonghua Sect?
Impossible.
But now Chen Huaisheng has no time to think about anything else. His bones are frozen and he can't even send out spiritual power. His whole frozen body can only wait for the other party's sword to cut his head.
Although there is still a control mage, if the sword blade turns around his neck, his hair and beard will be cut off. I am afraid that I will really become a huge joke on the first day of the Dao Association.
The heart lamp is dimly lit, which is the new residual fire in the cauldron after the foundation building. Although it is only a little, it is the original spiritual fire, which is immortal.
The divine consciousness secretly crosses, and the fire snake suddenly appears!
A touch of red light is like erupting from a volcano, circling along the whole body and swirling up!
It is like a rolling golden dragon rising slowly!
The red flames of the dragon are circling!
This is a fire magic spell that Chen Huaisheng learned by imitating the movement of the Winged Fire Snake. Now he uses the penetration of the Winged Fire Snake to launch it.
The frozen stiffness turned into a wisp of water vapor and disappeared in the air at this moment, and the dark blue sword energy turned into a light band around his neck!
Chen Huaisheng strangely escaped into the ground and disappeared, leaving only a piece of clothes cut off.
But a breath later, Chen Huaisheng had risen from the ground five feet away, waving his hands and looking hideous!
He wanted the other party to die!
The middle realm of thunder magic - the first level of the extreme sea thunder, the rolling thunder of thousands of valleys!
The rolling dark dark thunder cloud pattern constantly swallowed and spit out arc light, and with a click, it covered the Tao family monk who was flying in the air like a goshawk.
Even though he had realized the truth before the game and advanced to the second level of foundation building, he was still hit by Chen Huaisheng's angry attack.
The overwhelming thunder rolled, chasing the hawk that seemed to be flying in the dark clouds. Finally, an arc of electricity hit the hawk's back, and the opponent fell to the ground. In an instant, a hawk's beak appeared on the pale cheek, but it was gone in a flash.
Monster clan? !
This guy actually has the blood of the monster clan?
Chen Huaisheng suddenly realized that this guy must have concealed his cultivation realm a little, otherwise he would never have been able to hide it from the control mage.
This is a loophole in the rules, and you really can't say anything.
But isn't the Tao family a family of great Zhao cultivators? How is it related to the monster clan again?
Chen Huaisheng was a little puzzled.
The control Taoist master activated the spiritual shield at the first time of the lightning and electric stab, helping to block Chen Huaisheng's thunder bombardment.
But this kind of control is extremely difficult to control the scale, and some of the thunder still fell on the opponent.
Just like when Chen Huaisheng was frozen by the opponent's ice freezing technique and assisted by a sword cultivator's attack around the neck, the Taoist master who controlled the freezing technique did not intervene, but when the sword cultivator technique was activated, the purple mansion had already locked the opponent's sword with spiritual essence and was able to control the qi to stop it at the last moment.
After a brief discussion, the purple mansion announced that Chen Huaisheng won, and then another cultivator at the peak of foundation building made a brief analysis and judgment of this duel.
This fight was extremely simple, and it took less than ten breaths in total. First, the opponent took the initiative and almost killed him with one blow, then Chen Huaisheng escaped to the extreme, and then the thunder method killed him, everything was so simple.
In fact, the fights in the cultivation world are almost all this kind of crushing kills, and the kind of fights that last hundreds of rounds are all stories in operas and storytelling.
Where can there be so much spiritual power to support such a fight, unless it is to kill those opponents who are obviously inferior to oneself and numerous, this scene may occur.
“…, Tao Juji used the Nine-Layer Frost Technique to freeze Chen Huaisheng. Chen Huaisheng’s response was wrong and he was already at a disadvantage. However, Tao Juji’s sword cultivation technique was not proficient enough. If he had been half a breath later, Chen Huaisheng would have found it difficult to turn the situation around…”
“But Chen Huaisheng took advantage of the opponent’s sword cultivation technique and did not follow up in time. He used his own spirit beast’s fire element melt to recover and escaped underground. Tao Juji failed to capture the opponent’s underground escape, giving Chen Huaisheng an opportunity…”
“Chen Huaisheng launched the attack with the middle level of thunder magic. The power of this attack has the actual combat power of the second level of foundation building. Tao Juji failed to transform into a human form in time, or use a spiritual shield, or cover up with a puppet, resulting in his body being damaged…”
“…, so Tao Juji was judged to lose this battle! Do you two have any objections? If not, sign and seal to approve.…”
This kind of battle is so simple and clear. If there is no objection, sign and approve. If there is an objection, you can file an appeal, and then the review monk sent by the Taoist Palace will conduct a review and examination.
However, this kind of situation that requires review and examination is rare. Generally speaking, the Taoist master who controls the scene can handle this situation fairly and accurately.
After all, those who can control the scene of the foundation-building battle are generally purple mansion real people. Under the watchful eyes of the public, it is impossible for him to favor anyone. That would be a great blow to his own image.
Although Chen Huaisheng won this battle, Chen Huaisheng's ranking on the Dragon and Tiger Blue Cloud List rose by one place, from tenth to ninth, which is not very meaningful.
But before that, it is Zhao Wenguan, the eighth place, the direct descendant of the Zhao family. It is not worth challenging the other party and becoming a thorn in the eyes of the Zhao family.
The seventh and sixth Lu Xiaochi and Huo Yuanying are actually both quasi-foundation-building second level. The disciples of the big sects naturally have their own skills.
Chen Huaisheng felt that even if he challenged the two, the victory or defeat might be fifty-fifty, and once the fierce battle came, the Taoist master who controlled the scene would let the water intentionally or unintentionally, and if things went wrong, he would be injured, which would also worsen the relationship with the Tianyun Sect and Taihua Dao. Chen Huaisheng felt that it was not worth it.
Chen Huaisheng also told Shang Jiuling about his worries and concerns.
Shang Jiuling was also a little hesitant.
Although the big sects may not attach much importance to the impact of such personal challenges on the relationship between the sects, think about these characters who can enter the top ten of the Dragon Tiger Blue Cloud List, they must be the best in the sect, and they may even be the nephews and relatives of the sect bosses.
If the challenge is successful, it will undoubtedly be a provocative and slapping behavior, which will inevitably worsen the relationship between the two sides in the future.
So in the end Shang Jiuling still did not make it clear whether to continue the challenge, and only let Chen Huaisheng consider it on his own.
This also made Chen Huaisheng finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In this situation, for both individuals and the sect, he felt that it was not appropriate to gain fame in this way.
He was already ninth on the Dragon Tiger Blue Cloud List, and he could be hung in front of the palace temples, and the incense and wish power could be infiltrated. As for how effective it was, he was still far away from the Purple Mansion realm anyway, so he took his time and was not in a hurry.
"I still realized that I was a little careless, and I also noticed my shortcomings." Chen Huaisheng tapped his fingers lightly on the wooden table, and there was some helplessness in his words.
"It can be regarded as a lesson learned. If it weren't for the heart lamp not being extinguished and summoning the Winged Fire Snake in time, I would have lost this battle in the blink of an eye. That guy hid very well, and his demon bloodline was very strong, so he could hide the second level. I guess he didn't expect me to challenge him. He was supposed to challenge Huo Yuanying, Lu Xiaochi, or even the third, fourth, and fifth place, but I didn't expect it to be ruined by me. This grudge is big."
Shang Jiuling couldn't help but frowned, "Demon clan, the Tao family actually has a disciple with demon bloodline, and it's a direct disciple. This is a new thing."
Linghu Zui glanced at Chen Huaisheng and said in a calm tone "In the past fifty years, these aristocratic families have not paid so much attention to bloodline, perhaps because they have been squeezed by these super sects. In addition to the Zhao family, the strength of aristocratic families such as the Shi family, the Kou family and the Tao family has declined. The Mi family in Luoyi has fallen even more. Twenty years ago, the Mi family could at least squeeze into the top 20 of the total list, but now it is probably difficult to even rank 30. The Tao family used to be in the top 15, but now? Haha, it would be a blessing to be in the top 20..."
"What about the Zhao family?" Ding Zongshou couldn't help asking. He stayed in Hebei for too long and didn't know much about the situation in the Great Zhao.
"It's also declining, but it's just that it has the official identity signboard, plus it offers superior conditions, and continues to recruit talents as princesses and princesses to become sons-in-law in its family, so the situation is better." Linghu Zui curled his lips.
