The second round of the competition was much more intense than the one yesterday. There was definitely something extraordinary about the forty-two disciples who were able to win the day before. It might be because they were skilled in Dao arts, or because they were superior to others, or because they had powerful magic treasures. It was difficult for them to fight against each other.

However, whether it was winning with a Dao technique or defeating the enemy with a magic treasure, no one objected. Victory was victory, defeat was defeat. This was the cruel law of the world, where the strong were respected.

After drawing lots, the second round of the competition began under the chairmanship of Daoist Xuanji. The nine great arenas in the plaza were instantly filled with a myriad of brilliant colors. All sorts of Daoist techniques appeared one after another, and the formidable pressure from the driving magic treasure was astonishing.

Above the nine great arenas, forty-two of the most outstanding young masters of the nine meridians were displaying their full strength. Even if they were to stop fighting, it would be difficult for one of them to remain unscathed.

However, if it wasn't life-threatening, or if it was deliberately aimed at inflicting serious injuries, the sect wouldn't pursue it. The Head of Seven Branch Veins and his ancestor sat in front of the Taixuan Hall, no one daring to act presumptuously under their nose.

As a result, the Nine Mystical Palace was in an orderly fashion and there were no conflicts between them.

It seemed that no one knew about Gu Fei being attacked last night, and it was even less known in the sect. It was likely that the Sect Master and the Head of Seven Branch Veins had suppressed this matter.

The Nine Veins Church's examination was still going on, as if nothing had happened. This made Gu Fei feel that it was a little unexpected, the reactions of the Sect Master and the Head of Seven Branch Veins seemed to be a little abnormal.

After all, Taixuan Sect was one of the Three Great Dao Sects, and a famous sect or sect within it. Being attacked by someone from their sect's disciple, this was no small matter, but it seemed that the sect did not do anything about it.

"As it is, so be it. It is not something that I can control. Let me first win this Nine Mystical Association test!" At this time, two youths were fighting in the first stage, and the victor had already been decided. It was Gu Fei's turn to go up on stage.

"Lei Ao, an outstanding disciple from the Green Cloud Peak Faction, and it seems like he's even Dongfaang Chen's senior brother. Interesting!" Gu Fei leapt onto the stage, and immediately saw a tall and mighty youth.

The two of them stood two Zhang apart from each other. Lei Ao, leopard head, tiger eyes, bear waist, fierce appearance, it could be said that he was born special.

When Lei Ao stood in front of Gu Fei, a fiendish aura similar to a ferocious Beast, immediately swept towards Gu Fei. Gu Fei's pupils could not help but constrict for a moment.

"This Lei Ao is not simple!" Gu Fei could feel that this Lei Ao who possessed the Green Cloud Peak did not seem to be much weaker than that Dongfaang Chen, as he was a strong opponent.

"Humph!" Gu Fei, you went too far yesterday. Today, I want to return the humiliation that Dongfaang Chen suffered! " Lei Ao pointed to Gu Fei, his eyes revealing a sinister light, as he said fiercely.

"Senior-apprentice Brother Lei, why are you still talking so much with this arrogant fellow. Just beat him up and help us vent our anger!"

The disciples of the Green Cloud Peak Faction below the stage were all shouting, and every single one of them was glaring at Gu Fei.

Yesterday, on the stage, Gu Fei's humiliation of Dongfaang Chen had greatly angered all the disciples of the Green Cloud Peak Faction, to the point that their faces did not shine.

And Dongfaang Chen, who was below the stage, was gritting his teeth at Gu Fei, wishing that he could pounce onto the stage and cut Gu Fei into eight pieces. Yesterday, Gu Fei made him lose all face in front of the disciples of the nine meridians, and could be considered to have formed an irreconcilable enmity with Gu Fei.

Although Dongfaang Chen suffered a considerable amount of internal injuries yesterday, after a night of treatment from an expert within the sect, coupled with the fact that he consumed a miracle medicine, his injuries seemed to have completely recovered.

The methods of a cultivator were extremely marvelous. With that person possessing great Fa Li, even moving mountains or overturning the seas were trivial matters. It was a mere internal injury, but it was still very easy to cure.

That Gu Fei, was ambushed by a cultivator at the Mortal Separating realm last night. He was hit by the Daoism's True Fire, and his meridians were scorched.

"Ridiculous, that Dongfaang Chen is not even my opponent, you should just admit defeat." Gu Fei said in disdain, this Lei Ao's cultivation was about the same as his, and yet he still wanted to help Dongfaang Chen vent his anger, wasn't this just looking for trouble?

"Damn it, today I will let you experience just how powerful I, Lei am!" Hearing that, Lei Ao was immediately enraged, the veins on his forehead popped out.

"Then prepare to be abused!" Gu Fei's expression turned cold, a ray of light shot out from his eyes, leaving behind an afterimage. In a moment, he was right in front of Lei Ao.

Lei Ao never would have thought that Gu Fei's movement speed would be so fast, and he was immediately shocked in his heart. However, he was still a young expert within the Green Cloud Peak Faction, after all. The moment Gu Fei moved, he let out a low growl, and a violent burst of mana fluctuations fiercely burst out of his body.

When Gu Fei approached Lei Ao with his extreme speed, he already made his move. A fist had already struck Lei Ao's abdomen, and his fist had even touched Lei Ao's clothes.

However, Lei Ao's power had already erupted out of his body like a volcano. It was a layer of red lightning web along with an astonishing Strength of Fire.

"Five Thunder Righteous Bestowal?" Gu Fei's fist instantly collided with the lightning protecting his body that surged out from Lei Ao's body, causing a sound that was as dull as thunder to ring out. After that, Gu Fei quickly retreated as his entire arm was covered with streaks of red lightning.

It was that fist that had struck Gu Fei's body protection lightning power onto his arm, causing him to feel a wave of numbness on his right arm.

"What a powerful Strength of Thunder And Lightning, it's even stronger than that Thunder Palm, I wonder how many times stronger it is!" When the red lightning struck his right arm, the sleeve of Gu Fei's right hand was immediately burnt to ashes.

"Roar!" With an angry roar, Gu Fei's right arm shook, and used a powerful force to disperse the red lightning on his arm. He then stopped his body from retreating, and coldly stared at the Lei Ao who was retreating step by step.

Gu Fei's fist weighed a ton of kilograms. Even though that fist did not really hit Lei Ao's body, the incomparably powerful force behind it caused Lei Ao to receive a huge impact as he unsteadily retreated.

With every step back, Lei Ao's fierce steps caused the stage beneath his feet to tremble. He had to retreat more than ten steps in succession before he managed to dissipate the power of Gu Fei's punch.

"Warrior is scary indeed, every move is filled with immense power, just like how my body is strong, I am inferior to Gu Fei!" Lei Ao was secretly shocked. After exchanging moves like lightning, he had already determined Gu Fei's strength.

"Five Thunder Righteous Bestowal, Lightning of the East!" The red lightning that was crackling and vanishing from his body immediately turned jade green, and then rushed out from Lei Ao's body, forming dozens of dark green electric arcs, flying towards Gu Fei.

The tyrannical lightning energy emitted fluctuations of wood essence energy. The wood element in the sky also converged from all directions and fused into the lightning, causing the dozens of dark green lightning bolts to burst out with even more dazzling light.

With regards to the various Dao Art s, the practitioner believed that the most powerful was the lightning spell. Lei Nai was the command of the heavens to carry out punishments on behalf of the heavens. Once the thunder was released, everything in the world would tremble.

Even though the lightning had not condensed a spirit pellet, and upon entering the Mortal Separating realm, one's mana was limited, the Strength of Thunder that Lei Ao had used was still not to be underestimated.

"En!" Feeling the destructive aura coming from Lei Ao's body, Gu Fei could not help but frown, but at this time, ten green thunderbolts had already struck him, he did not dare to be careless.

His right hand grabbed at the air, and a purple light shot out from his palm. With a sound, a sword like purple light immediately condensed and was held in his hand.

Gu Fei waved the three feet long purple electric light in his hand that was like a sword and not a sword, and "Chi Chi!" With a loud sound, a purple sword qi tore through the air and slashed down on the dozens of green lightning bolts with lightning speed.

A series of explosions could be heard as the sword energy and thunder and lightning mutually destroyed each other. But when Gu Fei followed along with the sword, his aura was like a rainbow, and when the lightning was extinguished, he directly rushed towards Lei Ao with big strides.

Gu Fei stepped onto the Bahuang Step, seemingly slow but actually fast. Lei Ao turned into a flowing shadow and threw himself in front of him, instantly turning pale from shock. Although he looked strong and strong, with his martial arts and martial arts, he did not dare let a martial cultivator like Gu Fei get close to him.

"Lightning Evasion!" Lei Ao bellowed, and thunderclaps sounded out on stage, while at the same time, his body became blurry.

Just as everyone was still in a state of shock, Lei Ao's figure had already appeared behind Gu Fei.

"Illusion Technique?" Gu Fei's punch had scattered Lei Ao's shadow clone, he was expressionless, but he was not surprised either. Lei Ao's clone technique, compared to the man from last night's clone, was much weaker.

"Five Thunder Righteous Bestowal. Fire Thunder of the South appears. Earth Thunder of the Central Region!" Lei Ao instantly formed two Dao Spell s with his hands, and two violent powers instantly exploded on the stage.

And then … BOOM! With a sound, a large mass of flames violently exploded in the space above Gu Fei's head. Rays of fire snake-like Strength of Thunder And Lightning shot out, forming a net of fire and electricity, falling straight towards Gu Fei's head.

At the same time, thick soil s suddenly rose up from beneath Gu Fei's feet. At this time, Qi of Earth s were not a greyish patch, but under Lei Ao's Dao Art, they condensed into grey streaks of lightning, and shot towards Gu Fei's body with crackling sounds.

The five types of power condensed into the might of thunder and lightning, using it to attack the enemy. The berserk Strength of Thunder And Lightning tore through the air and attacked from top to bottom, completely sealing off Gu Fei's retreat path.

At this time, Gu Fei could smell the charred smell of lightning rampaging in the sky. His eyes were filled with flashing lightning, red and gray, he was unable to differentiate between the sky and the earth, as though he had entered into a world of thunder and lightning.
