Chapter 384： Battle for first place

Chapter 384 The battle for first place

Lu Yuezhang saw this and turned back to look at Du Xianming.

“Fellow Daoist Du, I think what Master Nephew Chu said is somewhat reasonable. It’s better to save people and heal their wounds first, what do you think?”

Du Xianming looked at Rong Zhangping, who was obviously seriously injured, and his aura was greatly weakened. His face was extremely gloomy.

Hearing what Lu Yuezhang said, it was hard to say anything else.

Although Chu Ning’s words are indeed a bit irritating.

But Du Xianming also knew that when Rong Zhangping first took action, he did not hold anything back.

With this ending, it can only be said that they all underestimated Chu Ning's strength.

Now that the Guiyuan Sect is all facing Chu Ning, it will be useless if he continues to pester him.

On the contrary, he lost face even more in front of many sects.

After thinking about this clearly, Du Xianming took a deep look at Chu Ning after the restraint, and then took a breath.

“As fellow Taoist Lu said, it’s important to save people first.”

At this moment, Du Xianming found a place for himself to get off the stairs. His words revealed that he was mainly trying to save Lu Yuezhang's face.

As soon as Lu Yuezhang heard this, he immediately stepped aside.

The results will be announced at the same time.

“In this competition, Jiuhua Sect Chu Ning wins!”

Chun Ning in the field did not show any proud expression on his face when he heard this.

Instead, he dodged out of the way with great vigilance, got out of the high platform, and flew towards the viewing platform of Jiuhua Sect.

Although Du Xianming said it well, he was not sure whether the other party would use any dirty tricks.

It’s better to leave first.

At this moment, almost all the eyes of everyone present fell on Chu Ning who flew out.

Especially the three Jindan monks including Da Luo Zong Ao Xuan, their eyes were even more about to spit out fire.

The result of this battle was beyond their expectations.

Ao Xuan and others never thought that Rong Daoping would be defeated by Chu Ning.

Moreover, the defeat was so clean and tidy, and the speed was even a few points faster than Jiang Cheng's victory just now.

In fact, it was not just the Daluo Sect monks who were surprised at this moment.

The other monks from all sects had to re-examine Chu Ning's strength at this moment.

On the viewing platform of Guiyuan Sect, Jiang Cheng and He Feng looked at each other for a while, with a strange look in their eyes.

As Jiang Cheng said, even if he were to replace him, it would not be easy to defeat Zong Daoping so easily.

“This fellow Daoist Chu’s attack is very strong, and the magic flying sword is also very powerful.”

Jiang Cheng had an evaluation of Chu Ning for the first time.

“I didn’t expect that besides Yu Changge, there would be such a powerful Jindan cultivator in Jiuhua Sect.

I'm actually a little interested. "

Hearing this, Shi Xuerong immediately turned his head and said:

“Senior Brother Jiang, Daoist friend Chu has saved my life. If we confront him later, please remember to be merciful.”

When Jiang Cheng heard this, he immediately smiled and shook his head.

“Junior sister, what you say is too high for me. I don’t think Chu Ning may have used his full strength.

If you really want to be right, who is merciful, maybe it is still alive. "

When Shi Xuerong heard this, he shook his head.

“The Daluo Sect monk just underestimated the enemy, so he was caught off guard by fellow Daoist Chu.

Senior Brother Jiang, after you are prepared, how can Fellow Daoist Chu be your opponent? "

Jiang Cheng didn’t refute what Shi Xuerong said after hearing it.

After all, he somewhat agreed with what Shi Xuerong said.

From Jiang Cheng's point of view, the main reason why Chu Ning was able to win was because he caught Zong Daoping off guard after using his escape skills to avoid him.

Although he is also at the peak of the late Jindan stage like Zong Daoping, he is more confident and stronger.

Secondly, since he knew that Chu Ning was not weak, he would not take it lightly.

Jiang Cheng does not really believe that Chu Ning is stronger than him.

Of course, if Jiang Cheng knows that Chu Ning is not only unable to use all his magical powers.

After using the Fire Spirit Sword without exerting all his strength, he probably won't think so anymore.

Perhaps the battle between Chu Ning and Zong Daoping exceeded many people's expectations, and the result was indeed tragic.

So much so that the discussion became too heated, and the following battle between the monks did not attract much attention.

Until Na Zhuang Zhong was called on to play by a late-stage Jindan monk, and he was eliminated by the following attack.

At this time, everyone's attention turned to this middle-stage Jindan monk.

Because they both use fire-attribute spells, many people even compare him with Chu Ning.

And Chu Ning couldn't help but take another look at the other party.

"This Xuanhuo Sect's skills and spells are somewhat strange. The attack power of the spells they use is far higher than ordinary fire-attribute spells."

Chuning couldn't help but marveled when he saw it.

The second round of the game was slower than the first round. This was mainly because the strength of the two sides in this round was closer.

In terms of opponent selection, the monks at the top do not necessarily choose the ones further down in order.

First of all, the strength of the monks that each person faced before was slightly different. This ranking does not necessarily represent absolute strength.

Secondly, the monks will also consider whether there are restraint factors in the martial arts.

But overall, the top ten people still win.

With the exception of Chu Ning and Zhuang Zhong, there was also a monk ranked eleventh who defeated the tenth monk.

However, the two have been close in ranking and strength before, so it is not too surprising.

At this point, the top ten can be considered settled.

However, according to the rules for obtaining the Wan Dharma Fruit, one of these ten people will be eliminated.

And the first place has to be decided to get the qualification to take one person to take the Wanfa Fruit.

Lu Yuezhang stood up and flew to the high platform at this moment.

“Following the usual practice in previous years, the three monks temporarily ranked eighty and ninety will decide the eighty and ninety two places through a competition.

The tenth place player can also get another challenge opportunity to challenge any one of the seven people in front.

Succeeding in the challenge will gain the quota, while failure in the challenge will completely lose the quota. "

Lu Yuezhang was talking about the rules for the next round of competition.

“The vacant spot is taken by the first-ranked monk.

The monks with the top three winning speeds in this round can compete for the first place.

They are Chu Ning of Jiuhua Zong, Jiang Cheng of Guiyuan Zong, and Yuan Xiaolu of Jinghuagu. "

Among the top three, Chu Ning was the fastest to win. Before the start of this round, no one expected it.

But at this moment, no one is optimistic about Chu Ning's next performance.

Jiang Cheng of Guiyuan Zong and Yuan Xiaolu of Jinghua Valley are both late-stage Jindan monks who have long been famous in the Yunxiao League.

Both of them are already at the peak of the late Jindan stage, and they will be able to cross the threshold and enter the Nascent Soul stage if they have the opportunity.

What everyone is paying more attention to at the moment is actually the battle between Jiang Cheng and Yuan Xiaolu.

However, we still need to wait. After Lu Yuezhang finished speaking, he began to organize a competition between the eighty and ninety people.

At this time, Zhuang Zhong once again surprised everyone.

In the competition between the last three people, this person was able to defeat two late-stage Jindan monks, directly locking the eighth position and winning a spot.

Another player ranked tenth after losing two games in a row.

This person is also a monk from a mid-level sect. According to the rules, he chose to challenge another late-stage Jindan monk who was previously ranked sixth.

In the end, he failed to win, so he gave up the spot for the tenth person.

At this moment, everyone's interest has also risen.

The competition for the first place will not only allow the sect to obtain an additional qualification to consume the spiritual fruit of the Ten Thousand Dharma Tree.

In a certain aspect, it also means that this person's strength surpasses the entire Yunxiao Alliance's Golden Core cultivators.

“Huazong Chuning, Guiyuanzong Jiangcheng, Jinghuagu Yuan Xiaolu, please come forward to draw the order of competition.”

Lu Yuezhang's voice sounded in the dojo again.

Chun Ning also stood up from the viewing platform and was preparing to fly out.

At this time, a voice unexpectedly sounded from the Jinghua Valley viewing platform.

However, he saw the female cultivator named Yuan Xiaolu slightly arching her hands towards Lu Yuezhang who was on the high platform.

“Senior Lu, this junior knows that he is no match for Jiang Daoyou, so he will not participate in the competition for first place.”

Chuning was slightly startled when Yuan Xiaolu said these words.

Then he glanced over and found that many monks were looking in his direction.

And many people’s eyes were also very curious.

Obviously, all the monks wanted to take a look when Yuan Xiaolu admitted that she was not Jiang Cheng's opponent.

Would Chu Ning admit defeat directly?

Chun Ning is not in a hurry to act at this time. Now when it comes to rankings, he relies on the former.

Sure enough, the next moment Jiang Cheng flew up and arrived at the high platform.

First he arched his hand towards Yuan Xiaolu. “Thank you Yuan Daoyou for your humility. Jiang is ashamed.”

As he spoke, he turned towards Chu Ning and cupped his hands and said: "

“Fellow Taoist Chu, Jiang wants to win a spot for the sect, and I would like to ask fellow Taoist for advice.”

Chun Ning smiled after hearing this, and then flew out of the viewing platform and landed on the high platform.

He slightly cupped his hands and said:

“Chu has heard for a long time that Taoist friend Jiang has amazing magical powers. Please give me some advice.”

If it was just him, that would be enough. He didn't care whether he won the first place or not.

However, Chu Ning still wanted to win the qualification for Cen Zijin to take the spiritual fruit of the Wanfa Tree, so Jiang Cheng naturally had to fight for it.

Chun Ning’s move caused many monks at the scene to talk about it.

“This Chu Ning is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Even fellow Taoist Yuan has given up, and he actually wants to fight with fellow Taoist Jiang.”

“Yes, even Yu Changge, the leader of the Jiuhua Sect who has advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, was defeated by Jiang Cheng before.

This Chu Ning is just a monk who has just entered the late stage of Jindan. How dare he? "

“You are still young. Although this person has great magical powers, he doesn’t think that he can defeat Jiang Cheng just because he defeated Zong Daoping, right?

Not to mention the Yunxiao Alliance, even among the Golden Core cultivators of the ten major alliances, Fellow Daoist Jiang is also at the top. "

…

Everyone who was watching the game obviously didn't think very favorably of Chu Ning, but Jiang Cheng, who was on the court, did not look down on Chu Ning at this moment.

He actually took out the pen-like magic weapon in his hand in advance, looking like he was concentrating on the battle.

When Chu Ning saw this, he opened his mouth and took the Fire Spirit Sword in his hand.

“The competition begins!”

At the same time, Lu Yuezhang's voice sounded.

As soon as he said these words, Chu Ning immediately raised his hand and waved his sword, using the Heavenly Fire Sword Technique, but it did not trigger the rain of fire in the sky like the previous battle with Zong Daoping.

Instead, he slashed out with his sword, and a beam of sword light struck Jiang Cheng.

This famous Jindan monk from Guiyuan Sect didn't know if he had the idea of ​​​​testing first, and did not attack immediately.

Until this moment when Chu Ning struck with sword light, he held a pen-shaped magic weapon and circled in front of him.

Suddenly, a white halo exuding rich water aura appeared in front of him.

The sword light inspired by Chu Ning was trapped by this halo halfway.

Unexpectedly, they couldn't make any progress for a while. The two were in a stalemate for a while, and then they broke up and dispersed.

But the next moment, several red lights appeared one after another in the sky.

But when Chu Ning struck out with the previous sword light, he waved the Fire Spirit Sword one after another.

Sent out a series of Heavenly Fire Sword Techniques.

closely followed by an extremely huge flaming bird with flames flashing all over its body.

Because Jiang Cheng already knew Chu Ning's attack method, Chu Ning did not hide the blazing sun bird in his sword at this moment.

The sword light filling the sky and the huge blazing sun bird suddenly illuminated the entire sky in a red color.

The power is truly astonishing!

Seeing this scene, the monks who were watching the battle also had a look of surprise and solemnity on their faces.

Chun Ning injured Rong Daoping before. Although everyone was surprised, most people still believed that Chu Ning was somewhat lucky.

I think he was a little caught off guard.

But at this moment, looking at Chu Ning's extremely fierce attack.

Everyone has also vaguely noticed that even in a head-on confrontation, ordinary monks would not be able to take on such an attack.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes also turned to Jiang Cheng, wanting to see how the number one golden elixir monk in the alliance would respond.

However, at this moment, Jiang Cheng's pen tip connected, and suddenly, water masses appeared in the air.

Immediately, Jiang Cheng drew a stroke in the air.

It seemed that these water masses were directly connected. Suddenly, each water mass expanded rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, a white spiritual light like a huge wave formed in front of it.

Jiang Cheng pointed his hand, and the huge wave swept towards the red sword light and the blazing sun bird in the sky.

The momentum is equally huge.

In the blink of an eye, the red light and white waves collided with each other, and for a while they were in a stalemate again.

Soon, they both began to fade.

Evidently due to the impact, the power of both men's spells was declining.

However, both Jiang Cheng in the field and the other monks watching the battle were surprised at the next moment.

Because everyone suddenly discovered that under such contact, the white waves seemed to be burned by the flames and dissipated faster.

Water overcomes fire, two spells with the same level of power. Water-based spells naturally have some advantages because of the five elements' mutual restraint.

When this happens, there is only one possibility.

Chun Ning’s spell power is stronger than Jiang Cheng’s!

"Chun Ning's spell power is actually stronger than Jiang Cheng's? Is it possible that Jiang Cheng didn't use his full strength?"

"It should be so. Jiang Cheng has taken action again. This time he should try his best."

…

Everyone was paying attention to every move of the two fighting men on the field, and soon everyone discovered that Jiang Cheng was making secrets with his left hand and connecting dots with the pen tip of his right hand, shooting out a series of spiritual lights that condensed on the white waves in front of him.

And with the help that Bailang received, his power also increased greatly.

But the white waves were not able to swallow up the red light and the firebird in the sky.

There are all Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators here, and it can be seen at this moment that Jiang Cheng should have launched the strongest attack before.

Now it’s just about using more spells to increase your spell attack power and resist Chu Ning’s attack.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Because they knew that if Jiang Cheng could do this, Chu Ning could do the same.

Sure enough, the next moment, they saw Chu Ning waving the Red Fire Spirit Sword, continuously waving fireballs that fell on the sword light and the blazing sun spirit bird in front.

At this moment, the red light bloomed in the sky.

The white waves that had just slowed down the situation now dissipated again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Cheng in the field also had a solemn look on his face at this time.

The attack power of Chu Ning's spell was a bit stronger than he imagined.

Hands of his hands quickly poured mana into the pen, and Jiang Cheng was ready to continue firing magic spells.

Since you can't have the upper hand in the power of spells, let's compare who has more powerful spells.

But at this moment, Jiang Cheng saw Chu Ning placing the Fire Spirit Sword in front of his chest and using both hands to continuously cast spells.

“Should we use the magic weapon to attack directly? His magic weapon is quite powerful.”

Jiang Cheng was not willing to use his magic weapon to forcefully intercept it to avoid damaging the magic weapon.

He was ready to come up with new tactics.

But at this time, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Chun Ning did not directly use the flying sword. He fired several spells with both hands and then raised his hands, forming an invisible wind that swept forward.

A storm has set the prairie fire on fire!

But it was the top-notch spell that Chu Ning had learned from the Thunder Fire Sect before!

With the addition of this technique, both the sword light in the air and the huge blazing sun bird suddenly increased in power!

Before Jiang Cheng could react, the sky was filled with flames.

The streaks of red flames directly defeated the white waves.

Several extremely sharp sword lights were in front, and the Fierce Sun Spirit Bird was behind them, and they shot towards Jiang Cheng in an instant.

When Jiang Cheng saw this in the distance, his expression changed slightly. In the blink of an eye, the man had already fled away.

But what surprised Dachu Jiangcheng was that his figure had just appeared, and the next moment, a red rainbow flashed in front of him.

“It’s Chu Ning’s flying sword!”

Jiang Cheng understood it almost instantly, and couldn't help being surprised.

“Chun Ning was able to accurately determine the location of my escape technique. Is it because of some secret technique, or is his spiritual consciousness so powerful?”

At the same time as this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Cheng's figure flashed and disappeared once again.

At the same time, Chu Ning's figure also turned into a shadow and disappeared from the place.

The next moment, the two people were respectively standing where they were pierced by a spiritual sword and a pen-shaped magic weapon.

“Huh?” Chu Ning was also slightly surprised at this moment.

Jiang Cheng's spiritual consciousness is really not weak, and he was able to detect his flying sword attacks twice in a row.

At this moment, Chu Ning also vaguely understood why the other party was able to defeat so many golden elixir monks.

With the strength of his spiritual consciousness, Jiang Cheng was able to know many attacks before anyone else.

Of course, when it comes to spiritual consciousness, Chu Ning far surpasses Jiang Cheng.

As long as Chu Ning uses the God-Slaying Technique, he has absolute confidence that he can severely injure the opponent.

It’s just that Chu Ning didn’t want to expose the true strength of his consciousness so easily at this moment.

When Jiang Cheng once again dodged the attack of the Fire Spirit Sword, and then used the pen-like magic weapon to attack.

Chuning, however, no longer used Phantom Dodge.

 He stretched out his hand and pinched the sword hand, and the fire spirit sword circled in the air and slashed towards the empty place in front of him.
