Chapter 43 Trouble
In the next few days, Xu Yang began to practice a secret technique recorded in the Five Elements Flame Jue - Flame Spirit Breaking!
Secret techniques generally require the cultivator's cultivation to reach the Void Realm before they can be used. Otherwise, without sufficient mana as a foundation, forcibly performing the spell will damage the soul of the caster. The most serious consequence is that the soul of the caster will be torn apart and the body will explode to death.
Seven days later, on an unknown and empty hillside of the Tiangui Sect, a handsome young man stood facing the wind. He was dressed in light green clothes and looked clean and bright. His broken hair was dancing in the wind, full of vigor. It was Xu Yang.
Early in the morning, Xu Yang, who had mastered Yan Ling Po, specifically found this remote place to try out the power of this technique.
Secret techniques are generally performed with the help of weapons or other magical tools, and Yan Ling Po is no exception.
"Fire Spirit Po!"
Xu Yang raised his hand, and a Lihuo Cone shot out. The Lihuo Cone was wrapped in a strange earth-golden spiritual flame and made a "chirping" burning sound. The originally small fire cone threw out a long flame tail, whizzing through the air like a spear.
There was a loud noise of "Boom!"
In the light of the fire, a large hole was punched through a rock about ten feet thick on the opposite side. On the damaged rock cavity, clusters of earth-colored spiritual flames crackled, and the originally hard rock walls were now burning like grass. A moment later, with a bang, the huge rock collapsed into a pile of rubble.
Seeing the destructive power of this technique, Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction. With a flash of consciousness, he retracted the Lihuo Cone, looked down, and frowned. The Lihuo Cone in his hand actually showed some wear and tear after the previous attack.
He thought to himself, "With my current second level of Void Transformation Realm, if I activate Yan Ling Po with all my strength, the Lihuo Cone will be completely damaged within a few times." He couldn't help but shake his head.
…
On this day, Xu Yang returned from Lingguo Garden. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, a young man wearing black clothes and holding a black folding fan came towards him.
"Huh? Why did he come here.".
"Fellow Taoist Xu Yang, you are well."
"Mr. Chen, what a coincidence. What's the matter?"
The person coming was none other than Chen Kang, who forced Zhu Liuqing to enter the ring last time.
"Mingren don't tell secrets. I heard that you have been very close to Miss Zhu Liuqing recently. I advise you to stay away from Miss Liu Qing. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, Chen Kang unfolded the black folding fan in his hand and waved it. Acting arrogantly.
"Mr. Chen, if you have anything to say, please explain it clearly."
"Since you said so, I will make it clear to you. A few days ago, I went to Miss Liu Qing to propose marriage, but Miss Liu Qing said that he already has a sweetheart. In recent days, you are the only one who has been with her frequently. Last time you went to the Ghost Roaring Land for a trial. Don't tell me that you have nothing to do with her," Chen Kang said angrily.
"Mr. Chen, you misunderstood. Junior Sister Liu Qing and I are just ordinary friends. We have similar temperaments, which is why we got closer. If Junior Sister Zhu is willing to date Mr. Chen, I'm optimistic about the success."
Chen Kang thought to himself, you know your character, but last time I forced Zhu Liuqing to pay off his gambling debt, you didn't know your character and ran out to make a show of yourself. The Nangong Zhongshan who I was fighting with is also your friend, so you probably have something to do with it. Without you two causing trouble, Miss Zhu would have become my concubine a long time ago. I will give you a taste of hardship today to let you know my master's methods.
Thinking of this, Chen Kang squeezed out a smile on his face. Said: "Since you said that, that's it. I heard that not only did you return safely from the land of ghosts and roars a few days ago, but your cultivation level was also upgraded to the realm of transformation, which made me a little curious. I guess you have something unique. I'd like to discuss it with you."
Hearing this, Xu Yang shook his head helplessly.
"Mr. Chen, I still have some things to do today. I will definitely ask Mr. Chen for advice someday."
"No need, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. Since you and I are both in the realm of transformation, how about we simply test our magic power today?"
"It seems that we can't get rid of this guy today, so it might as well try my newly cultivated Five Elements Flame Technique." Thinking of this, Xu Yang said: "Since Mr. Chen is so interested today, I would rather obey my orders than to be respectful. I don't know what to do. Competition?"
Seeing Xu Yang agreeing to compete, Chen Kang was secretly happy.
"Young man named Xu, I will make you look good right away." He raised his eyebrows and said, "Since it is a spell competition, how about you and I use our own secret techniques to fight against each other?"
Xu Yang's face condensed, and he thought to himself that the use of secret techniques was beyond the scope of ordinary sparring. But he could only say helplessly: "Master Chen, please." He turned his wrist, and a Lihuo Awl was in his hand.
Xu Yang had seen Chen Kang perform his secret technique in the ring, and its power was extraordinary. It seemed that Chen Kang came here with bad intentions today, so he was even more cautious.
I saw Chen Kang unfolding the black folding fan in his hand. A lifelike image of a cyan bald little ghost holding a wind bag appeared on the fan.
"Wind ghost bites!" Chen Kang shouted, and the folding fan in his hand came out. A black gust of wind wrapped around the folding fan and flew out. This gust of wind took the shape of an evil ghost's head, opened its mouth, and bit Xu Yang. come over. As it passed by, a deep chasm was drawn on the ground, and sand and gravel flew away.
Seeing the menacing attack from the other side, Xu Yang joked in his heart, what a mad dog to bite him. Don't dare to neglect your actions.
Mana crazily poured into the fire cone in his hand, and he raised it with one hand. The "Secret Technique - Flame Spirit Break" was inspired.
The Lihuo Cone threw out a long earth-colored rainbow to meet it. With a rumble, the two energies collided with each other, and as the spiritual power collided, circles of spiritual pressure burst out and scattered. Strands of earth-colored flames and strands of black wind blades entangled and burned.
A strange scene happened. The ghost-headed wind group, which was originally several feet in size, suddenly caught fire and crackled when it encountered the earth-colored flames.
It seemed that the earth-colored flames could burn the energy of the storm group. Gradually, the "wind ghost bite" originally surging mana was constantly attenuated under the burning of the spiritual flame.
Seeing this, Chen Kang was shocked.
"What kind of flame is this? It can actually burn and consume my wind attribute energy. How is it possible? Fire can be strengthened by wind, but if the wind is too strong, it can still extinguish the fire. My mana is obviously above Xu Yang on the opposite side." Thinking of this, Chen Kang narrowed his eyes and blew a breath of energy forward.
The black wind group, which was originally consumed by the earth-colored spiritual flame, swelled up instantly.
Then, with a metallic clang, the Fire Cone collided with the black folding fan.
The consciousness of the two was shaken by the rebound force at the same time.
Xu Yang's consciousness moved, and the Fire Cone drew a curve in the air with the rebound force and returned to his hand.
After this fight, Xu Yang had an estimate in his mind. This wheel spirit flame can actually burn the energy contained in the opponent's wind group. If it weren't for the help of this spirit flame, he would still be at a disadvantage compared to Chen Kang in terms of mana. However, the grade of his Fire Cone is too far behind Chen Kang's black folding fan. If the weapons of both sides are equal, he has the confidence to hit the opponent's folding fan with one blow.
At the same time, Chen Kang waved his hand, and the black folding fan returned to his hand. Chen Kang felt a surge of blood in his chest. He secretly used the magic formula to suppress the chaotic mana in his body.
After this duel, Chen Kang also had a calculation in his mind. This Xu Yang's strength should not be underestimated, at least not inferior to his own. Although he is not the top among the cultivators of the same level, he is also at the upper level. I didn't expect that Xu Yang, a mere mortal disciple, would have such ability to be on equal terms with me. A few days ago, this guy was still in the spiritual realm, and he broke through to the virtual realm in just a few days. I guess Xu Yang probably used the blood jade unicorn to improve his cultivation. The blood jade unicorn is really a rare treasure, and this thing must be obtained.
"Mr. Xu, I've learned a lot." The previous arrogance on Chen Kang's face has disappeared, and there is a hint of viciousness under the slightly flattering expression.
"Mr. Chen's secret skills are really profound and domineering. I tried my best to barely take it. Thank you for your kindness today."
Chen Kang took back the folding fan in his hand, smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Xu is too modest. Let's have a chance next time." Chen Kang paused, stared at Xu Yang's eyes and said: "Mr. Xu, have you ever heard of the "blood jade unicorn"? "
"What is the blood jade unicorn? This is the first time I've heard of it. Why do you ask this question, Mr. Chen?" Xu Yang lied calmly.
"Nothing, just a toy. Since Brother Xu doesn't know, that's fine." After saying that, he said goodbye and turned to leave.
Looking at Chen Kang's departing back. Xu Yang muttered in his heart. His cultivation had broken through in just a few days. It seemed that Chen Kang had already suspected that he used the Blood Jade Qilin. This person's greed had already appeared, and he would definitely continue to covet the Blood Jade Qilin. It seemed that it was no longer safe to keep this thing with me. Since I had already used the Blood Jade Qilin to break through to the Void Realm, if I was greedy, I was afraid that I would eventually fall into it as Junior Sister Liu Qing said, and I couldn't extricate myself. It would be safer to find Junior Sister Liu Qing to explain it, and by the way, return the Blood Jade Qilin to its original owner. "
The next day, in the Wood Spirit Courtyard.
"Junior Sister Liu Qing, I came to you this time to return the Blood Jade Qilin to you. It is not a long-term solution to keep this thing with me. Thank you for borrowing this treasure, so that I can break through to the Void Realm. "Xu Yang said sincerely.
Hearing Xu Yang's words, Zhu Liuqing's eyes turned, and she seemed to understand something.
"That's too polite. I voluntarily lent you the blood jade unicorn. I guess Chen Kang is here to cause trouble."
After hearing this, Xu Yang scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Junior Sister Liuqing is really smart. You guessed it all."
Zhu Liuqing smiled awkwardly and said, "My senior brother and I have similar temperaments. It's thanks to your care in the Ghost Howl Land. I always treat you as my own brother in my heart. Please don't take this matter to heart. Since it's not appropriate to leave the blood jade unicorn with you, I'll take it back first."
After returning the blood jade unicorn to Zhu Liuqing, Xu Yang felt relieved.
