Chapter 43 Six-Game Winning Streak
Chapter 43 Six-Game Winning Streak
Feeling that his magical power had been largely restored, Yan Shaopeng immediately raised a small flag about a foot long. The flag was crimson and decorated with some small golden birds.
As magic power flowed in, they immediately came to life, then rushed out of the flags and transformed into firebirds about a foot long.
"Crimson Fire Banner, Old Dog Yan really gave you this magic weapon. Aren't you afraid someone will take it away?" Yan Yuxue looked at the banner, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes, and her gaze toward Yan Shaopeng grew even colder.
"Die!" Yan Shaopeng waved the Crimson Fire Flag at Yan Yuxue, and the firebirds circling in the air immediately found their target and rushed towards Yan Yuxue.
Faced with the attack of this magical artifact, Yan Yuxue already had a way to deal with it. From the moment Yan Shaopeng took out the magical artifact, she secretly gathered her magical power and then cast a simple spell.
A dark cloud gathered above Yan Yuxue's head without her noticing, and then rain began to fall. The raindrops evaporated as soon as they landed on the firebird, and the firebird shrank in size. As Yan Yuxue continued to gather her magical power, the dark cloud grew larger and larger, and the rain fell heavier and heavier.
The firebirds shrank rapidly in the heavy rain, losing less and less power, and their spiritual energy was further depleted.
This powerful spell is a low-level water spell called Minor Cloud Rain.
In terms of attack power, water magic should be the weakest, but according to the five elements, it can counter the most powerful fire magic.
Of course, under normal circumstances, one wouldn't restrain oneself to this extent, but the current situation is special. Normally, the Little Cloud Rain Technique has a slow movement speed and a small coverage area. Once the opponent uses the Little Cloud Rain Technique, they can run a few steps and rush out of the range.
But now it's a ring competition, and as long as the entire field is covered, there's nowhere to hide. Seeing that the Crimson Fire Flag has become useless, Yan Shaopeng had no choice but to put it away.
"What a clever girl. She ruined a mid-grade magic artifact with a low-level spell."
"Sigh, why didn't I think of that? If I had used a little cloud and rain spell earlier, I probably wouldn't have lost."
The people below the stage were whispering among themselves, while those on the stage had already made a new move. Yan Yuxue patted her storage bag, and a black flying sword flew out. Under the cover of the heavy rain, she thrust the sword at Yan Shaopeng.
Yan Shaopeng had been on guard against Yan Yuxue's actions since earlier, and at this moment he patted his storage bag, sending out a jade-white flying sword.
The two flying swords collided, and Yan Yuxue's black flying sword immediately retreated a bit before being stabilized again. This was not only because her cultivation level and magical power were slightly weaker, but also because the quality of the magical artifacts differed; one was of medium grade, and the other was of low grade.
"This should have been my magic weapon." Yan Yuxue's tone was full of hatred.
"Come and take it if you dare," Yan Shaopeng said sarcastically.
The two fought several more times with their flying swords, with Yan Shaopeng gaining the upper hand each time. Just as the flying sword was about to be completely suppressed, Yan Yuxue snorted coldly, used her magic to suppress the opponent's flying sword, and then immediately summoned it back.
He placed the flying sword in front of him, closed his eyes, and began to chant incantations and make hand gestures.
At this moment, Yan Shaopeng had already resumed control of the flying sword and thrust it forward. When the flying sword was already in front of her, Yan Yuxue finally opened her eyes, and the flying sword in front of her also split into two, and then into four.
Sword Light Shadow Splitting Technique!
The four flying swords pierced forward together, miraculously bridging the gap in quality and even becoming stronger, forcing the opponent's flying swords to retreat continuously.
The balance of power shifted. Seeing the flying sword forced back to his front, Yan Shaopeng could only try his best to stabilize it. While his attention was focused on this, Yan Yuxue noticed that a small piece of ice crystal had appeared on her fingertip.
With a flick of her snow-white jade hand, the small ice spike flew out instantly. It was completely invisible under the cover of the heavy rain. By the time Yan Shaopeng reacted, the ice spike was already in front of him.
He could only leap backward, but the ice spike landed on the ground and immediately exploded with an extremely cold aura. With the blessing of the Lesser Cloud and Rain Technique, this cold aura instantly turned into ice, spreading at an extremely fast speed and freezing Yan Shaopeng, who was soaked to the bone.
Although Yan Shaopeng immediately used his magic to break free from the ice, in that instant, a sword light broke through his defenses and pierced his chest. Then came the second, the third, and the fourth sword.
With four swords piercing his heart, Yan Shaopeng collapsed helplessly to the ground. Yan Yuxue walked over and removed the storage bag from the corpse.
"These belong to my brother!" Yan Shaoyu shouted angrily from below the arena.
"Then come up and get it." Yan Yuxue fiddled with the storage bag in her hand, then threw out a small fireball, burning Yan Shaopeng's corpse to ashes.
This fierce determination made the examiner's eyelids twitch, but since the rules didn't prohibit it, he didn't say anything more.
In his opinion, this girl was quite talented. At such a young age, she had already learned the Sword Light Shadow Splitting Technique and was also quite proficient in ice magic. She was a promising talent.
My skills are a bit lacking right now, so I hope I won't be eliminated.
This "open and aboveboard" destruction of evidence enraged Yan Shaoyu, causing veins to bulge on his face. His anger over his brother's death led him to the edge of the arena, but he ultimately did not go up.
Calm down and think about it, the other party must have been confident to provoke her like this. Although her strength is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, she has escaped the family's repeated pursuits, which has long proven that she has the strength to challenge those above her level.
Moreover, he had heard how ruthless this crazy woman was, and it wasn't impossible that she might have hidden talismans on her body and self-destructed if she couldn't win the fight.
Compared to his elder brother, he was more composed in the face of adversity, which was why his father arranged for him to inherit the more complex family business. Thinking of this, Yan Shaoyu retreated, not letting anger cloud his judgment.
Yan Shaoyu didn't come up, but others immediately did. Although the girl's performance was amazing, there was still a gap in their cultivation levels. Compared to the other arena defenders, she was like an easy target.
The person who took the stage was still at the seventh level of Qi Refining. After a difficult battle, Yan Yuxue won again, but she looked tired and her magic power was almost exhausted.
However, she was looking down at the audience, whose fighting power was incredibly high.
"Yan Shaoyu, you cowardly little brat, do you dare to step onto the stage and fight?"
However, Yan Shaoyu could only watch coldly from below the stage, showing no intention of going up. He was convinced that this crazy woman was going to take him down with her.
Seeing that the other party still didn't go on stage despite such provocation, Yan Yuxue's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, and she had no choice but to take out a Qi-restoring pill and swallow it.
However, while Yan Shaoyu didn't go on stage, everyone else was eager to go up, thinking it was a good opportunity to snag a spot.
Several candidates jumped out at once, the weakest being at the sixth level of Qi Refining and the strongest at the eighth level. The candidates were evenly matched, and in the end, the examiner personally called out the candidate at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Obviously, the examiner did not want to see the girl eliminated by being overwhelmed by strength.
In the final battle, Yan Yuxue used all her skills and finally gained a slight advantage, using up her last bit of magic power to force her opponent off the stage.
She won all three of her battles, and all of them were against opponents of higher levels, which was truly amazing. The examiner nodded in satisfaction.
Yan Yuxue, who qualified for the next round, stepped off the stage. However, for some reason, she came down from the direction where Xiao Ming was, and sat down next to him to meditate and recover her magical power.
A new battle began on the stage. Although Yan Yuxue's performance was remarkable, everyone's attention was quickly drawn to the intense fight on the stage.
At this moment, Yan Yuxue, who was cultivating with her eyes closed, spoke softly.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, how have you been?"
