Chapter 100 Scorching

Chapter 100 Scorching (Happy New Year!)

"Master Tiezhen wants to fight me?"

Yi Liu asked again to confirm.

Wei Zhong nodded: "That's right."

Yi Liu looked surprised and puzzled, and Qi Yun was also puzzled.

In the eyes of most people in the world of immortal cultivation, alchemists are characters with superb skills but mediocre fighting ability.

Few people can possess both outstanding skills and strong combat power.

For example, Duan Delong, the former head of the Dan Hall of Qingmu Sect, was just an average fighter. If he didn't have a terrifying poison technique, he would have been no match for an ordinary Jindan cultivator.

And the fact that Wei Zhong was going to challenge a physical cultivator who specialized in fighting techniques was really confusing to the two of them, especially to Yi Liu, a genius who possessed thunder spiritual roots.

Although he was only in the early stage of Jindan, even Yu Xianglan, who was in the middle stage of cultivation, did not dare to say that she could defeat him.

"It has only been a year since I was promoted to the Jindan stage. I am still a little unfamiliar with it. I hope Brother Yi can teach me a little."

"I see!"

Yi Liu realized that Tie Zhen in front of him was probably just not good at fighting and wanted to accumulate some experience to prepare for the next trip to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

"In that case, I will accept it."

Wei Zhong turned to look at Qi Yun: "Fellow Daoist Qi, it shouldn't take you that long to make the elixir, right?"

Qi Yun nodded repeatedly: "Fellow Daoist Tiezhen, don't worry, just compete. It won't be too late to come back and take a look at the alchemy later."

Wei Zhong bowed, and flew out of the hall with Yi Liu.
The two came to a huge square in Qingmu Sect that was covered by rune formations. This was the fighting arena within Qingmu Sect.

This action attracted many onlookers, including the current sect leader Yao Zhengsheng, as well as the masters of the Weapon Hall and the Law Hall Zhao Bai and Yu Xianglan.

Under him are countless disciples and elders of the Qingmu Sect.

"Master Tiezhen wants to fight with Junior Brother Yi?"

Yao Zhengsheng was a little surprised, then looked at the two people confronting each other in the air and shook his head, obviously not optimistic about "Tie Zhen".

Yi Liuyi's fighting skills level already surpassed that of the average early Jindan cultivator. In addition, as a body-refining cultivator, he had the courage and bravery to engage in close combat, which gave him an advantage in the fight.

'Even if I were to attack myself, it would still take a lot of effort to defeat the opponent with my cultivation advantage. This Master Tie Zhen chose the wrong opponent by fighting with Yi Liu.'

Yi Liu in the air bowed and greeted: "Yi Liu from Qingmu Sect, I am a physical cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, practicing the "Golden Thunder Art", please give me some advice, Fellow Daoist Tiezhen."

Seeing the other party was so polite, Wei Zhong also "introduced himself": "Sanren Tiezhen, I am a spiritual practitioner in the early stage of Jindan, practicing the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art". This method is inherited from the God Transformation, Fellow Daoist Yi, be careful."

The reason why Wei Zhong deliberately exposed the martial arts he had learned was mainly to prepare for subsequent actions.

Wei Zhong will have to give it his all in the subsequent trip to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Except for the [Taoism of Time] which will continue to be hidden, probably all other combat powers will be exposed to everyone.

Wei Zhong, who practiced the same martial arts as Yao Zhengsheng, did not dare to guarantee that he could hide all traces of his martial arts, so he simply took this opportunity to expose it to everyone.

If others ask, just answer that it is from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

"The Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique?"

Yi Liu on the field was shocked.

'It actually has the same name as the martial arts practiced by the head brother. Could it really be the same martial arts?'

Recalling the difficult situation of fighting with his senior brother before, Yi Liu looked at Tie Zhen in front of him and gradually put away his contempt.

The people outside the venue were even more surprised. As high-level members of the sect, Zhao Bai, Yu Xianglan and others were well aware of the power of the sect's internal inheritance.

With the help of this technique, Yao Zhengsheng was able to secure his position as the first true disciple and win the title of sect leader, which is enough to show the uniqueness of this technique.

And where did this person in front of him get his inheritance?

Yao Zhengsheng, who was practicing the same martial art, was even more amazed.

'There are actually people who can use this set of skills to cultivate to the Jindan realm. Did they get this skill from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce or other channels...'

Yao Zhengsheng, who only got a half-step incomplete inheritance, has almost finished practicing this technique. If he wants to condense the infant, he must switch to practicing another method.

But how could Yao Zhengsheng, who has always been proud and arrogant, bear to give up? It can be said that his current position is inseparable from this martial arts method.

This is the inheritance of the Divine Transformation. If I were to change my practice, where could I find a technique that could rival it?

Yao Zhengsheng stared at "Tie Zhen" in the air with an uneasy expression.

"Friend Yi, be careful."

Wei Zhong's fingertips flickered with spiritual light, and a layer of black spiritual liquid emerged, forming a black armor on his body surface. There was a circular depression in the middle of the armor, and the Yuan water droplets just filled it.

The first time Wei Zhong fought with a cultivator of the same level, he used his most powerful defensive spell [Black Water Spirit Robe] and filled it with his own magic weapon to increase its strength.

Yi Liu looked at Wei Zhong's actions and did not take action immediately. Instead, he looked at him with some curiosity.

'Is this the signature defensive technique used by Senior Brother, the Black Water Spiritual Robe?
However, he seems to be much more skilled than his senior brother. Not only can he form a delicate armor, but he can also fill it with a black ball. Could it be his life-saving magic weapon, the Yuanshuizhu?
Could this magic weapon be able to work in conjunction with defensive spells?'

Yao Zhengsheng, who was off the field, was also puzzled when he saw Wei Zhong's actions.

A ball of water and a black water bead appeared in his hand. After mixing them, no changes were found, which made Yao Zhengsheng even more confused.

When the two hall masters beside him saw his expression, they knew that this new leader could not integrate magic with his natal magic weapon like Master Tiezhen.

For a moment, he looked up at Wei Zhong in the air, and a feeling of surprise surged in his heart.

"Could it be that this inheritance of the spirit transformation really is a fusion of magic weapons and magic?"

After Wei Zhong completed this defensive operation in the air, a long sword immediately appeared in his hand, the Xuanming Sword.

Holding the sword in both hands, he said to Yi Liu: "Please~"

As soon as the word "please" came out of his mouth, the black sword in his hand immediately turned into a black lightning and rushed towards the other party.

Yi Liu keenly sensed a sense of crisis, and without thinking, he controlled the golden thunder with his feet, jumped sideways, and disappeared on the spot.

Wei Zhong, who was a mile away, stretched out his hand and pointed. Suddenly, the black lightning twisted slightly and swept across the void not far away.

With a "ripping" sound, Yi Liu emerged from it.

There was still a trace of disbelief on his face. The robe on the side of his waist had been torn to pieces by the flying sword, and half of his flesh disappeared along with it.

Spiritual power surged, and Yi Liu, who wanted to recover from the physical injuries, found that there was a chill lingering at the wound, which prevented the recovery of the injury.

With a thought in his mind, he activated the golden thunder in his body to dissipate it.

He looked at Tie Zhen and said, "What a flying sword!"

The people outside the venue were even more frightened when they saw this scene, especially Zhao Bai. Although he had been in the early stage of Jindan for a hundred years, because of his own spiritual roots and talent, his understanding of the "Golden Thunder Art" was not as good as Yi Liu.

It is difficult to dodge in this instant. If you face this move, you will have to pay the price and take it head-on.

Looking back at Yu Xianglan and Yao Zhengsheng beside him, he saw that they both had serious expressions on their faces. Zhao Bai knew that this move would be very difficult for them.

"This Master Tiezhen is really no simple person."

Wei Zhong in the air was not at all surprised to see that his attack had not worked.

After all, he was a physical cultivator who practiced thunder magic. It would be a joke if he could kill the opponent with just one move. With a flick of his fingers, the Xuanming Sword once again turned into a beam of black light and flew out from behind him, flying back into Wei Zhong's hand.

This is exactly the effect caused by the flying runes that Wei Zhong engraved on the Xuanming Sword.

The sword rotated and immediately placed horizontally above his head, and Yi Liu emerged from the void.

The figure of Yi Liu in the distance slowly dissipated, leaving only a residual image behind.

With Wei Zhong's keen sense, he naturally discovered his movements early and raised his sword to block it in an instant.

The powerful force directly pressed Wei Zhong to the ground. From the perspective of others, it seemed that Yi Liu only used his bare palm to knock Wei Zhong down.

"As expected of a physical cultivator, you can block a third-level magic sword with your bare hands."

Wei Zhong squatted down slightly, intending to lift him up in one go.

Yi Liu's expression changed, and a snake-shaped golden lightning light crawled along the contact point between his palm and the magic sword towards Wei Zhong's body surface.

But this little lightning only caused ripples on Wei Zhong's black armor before disappearing into thin air.

Yi Liu used the force to retreat and looked at the black armor on Wei Zhong's body with a solemn expression.

'What I just released was not an ordinary golden thunder, but a secret method from the "Golden Thunder Art" that has the effect of affecting the enemy's spiritual power circulation.

However, it was easily blocked by the [Black Water Spirit Robe] spell and failed to affect the opponent's body.

This [Black Water Spiritual Robe] is much stronger than my brother's.'

As a bystander outside the field, Yao Zhengsheng naturally saw it clearly, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not figure out how an ordinary defensive spell could have such a powerful effect, and how this spell was combined with the magic weapon?

Wei Zhong looked at the remaining golden lightning on the spiritual robe and was very satisfied with the magic of this [Black Water Spiritual Robe].

When he raised his left hand slightly, three balls of blazing fire condensed in his palm.

【Golden Flame】

With a "whoosh", the fireball in Wei Zhong's hand disappeared immediately and attacked towards Yi Liu.

Yi Liu felt the terrifying temperature contained in it and did not dare to be careless.

Three fireballs blocked his way at the same time, so he had to take out a white bone shield and hold it upright in front of his chest.

At this moment, the golden flame launched by Wei Zhong was already at the third level. As a flame used for refining weapons, it was naturally not something he could directly block by relying on his physique.

Yi Liu's feet flashed with golden light several times, and he dodged two golden flames, but the third one still hit the bone shield directly.

A layer of hazy white light immediately appeared on the white bone fragments, resisting the erosion of the golden flames.

'Middle-grade or high-grade third-grade?'

Wei Zhong frowned slightly.

"Senior Brother Zhao actually passed this Cloud Bone Shield to Yi Liu?" Yu Xianglan said in surprise upon seeing this.

A hint of pride emerged on Zhao Bai's face, because this shield was made using the bones of a third-level monster and was of top-grade third-level quality.

But before his smug look could last long, the situation on the field changed again.

Seeing that the golden flame could not break through the bone shield's defense, Wei Zhong simply detonated it. In an instant, three red fireballs exploded around Yi Liu.

But this is not the end yet. The exploding fireball did not dissipate, but formed a wall of fire that surrounded it.

Wei Zhong's fingertips flicked continuously, and golden flames filled the air, forming a giant red flaming egg that wrapped Yi Liu tightly.

'How do you defend yourself now?'

Wei Zhong squeezed his palms, and the flaming dome collapsed inward instantly.

Just when Wei Zhong thought that the other party would surrender, a dazzling golden light suddenly emerged from the red flames.

A golden divine thunder rushed straight towards Wei Zhong.

Without hesitation, Wei Zhong threw out a bamboo umbrella that floated above his head. Fish were swimming on the fan and lotus leaves were swaying gently. It was the colorful golden bamboo umbrella.

This item can be used to deal with heavenly thunder disasters, and it is naturally no problem to deal with the thunder magic of cultivators.

But the spiritual umbrella was fragile and might not be able to withstand the opponent's brute force. Wei Zhong shouted softly, and a strange cold air was stimulated from the Xuanming Sword.

He raised his sword, took a step forward, and took the initiative to meet the enemy.

With a loud bang, as if thunder struck the top of the sky, the rocks and black soil under Wei Zhong's feet suddenly turned into debris and flew out.

The fighting arena engraved with spiritual patterns was actually destroyed by this blow.

The aftermath of the impact spread to the surroundings. Yao Zhengsheng and the other two quickly cast spells to block it. The aftermath of this kind of Jindan battle was not something these foundation-building cultivators could withstand.

Wei Zhong, as the recipient of this attack, suddenly felt his body and mind tremble, and the next moment he was hit by a huge force.

The armor on the lower body immediately turned into a ball of black water to neutralize the force of the attack.

When he used his spiritual sense to probe, he saw a pair of phantom fists covered in golden lightning hitting the sword.

When the opponent's attack failed, he tried to raise his fist for another attack.

The lightning and thunder happened so quickly that while Wei Zhong was still thinking, he was hit again.

Although all the lightning from his fist was absorbed by the colorful golden bamboo umbrella, Wei Zhong could not withstand such tremendous force for long.

After all, Wei Zhong has not practiced body training, and his defense depends entirely on the [Black Water Spiritual Robe]. If it were to break through, his physical body would probably be injured with just one punch.

Wei Zhong was no fool. He moved his toes and turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.

He reappeared not far away, but soon after, the lightning transformed by Yi Liu followed.

The opponent's speed of escape in this form was surprisingly almost the same as Wei Zhong's when he used the Cloud-Leaping Technique.

"However, this state cannot be maintained for long. I want to see how much spiritual energy you can use up."

Wei Zhong's sword shook, and a layer of Gengjin energy covered the surface of the Xuanming sword.

【Geng Sword Technique】

He dodged and fought back with the sword.

But when Wei Zhong's magic sword hit the opponent, there was not much feeling of reality.

Often a gap is created, which is repaired instantly after a flash of lightning.

"Half-hollow?"

Wei Zhong was even more surprised when he saw this.

below,

"Liu'er's 'True Body of Controlling Thunder' is really a true inheritance from senior brother!" Yu Xianglan said to Zhao Bai with some emotion.

There was no joy on Zhao Bai's face, because this "True Body that Controls Thunder" was the most powerful secret method in the Golden Thunder Art.

Since Yi Liu used this move, it means that he has run out of ways to deal with "Tie Zhen".

But the problem is that this move consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and Yi Liu can't maintain it for long with his current level of cultivation!
