Chapter 44 KitMagic Item
"Fellow Daoist Yan, it's been a long time," Xiao Ming greeted him.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, time is of the essence, so I will get straight to the point. I would like to ask you for a favor."
"Please feel free to speak."
"You should have a general idea of my irreconcilable feud with the Yan family after hearing their discussions down there. This Yan Shaoyu is even more cunning and cautious than his brother. I originally intended to settle things between these two brothers on stage, but I miscalculated."
"However, Yan Shaoyu is not an ordinary person either. Now that his brother is dead, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity to enter the immortal sect. If he takes the stage, please help me kill him."
Plans can't keep up with changes, and Yan Yuxue couldn't find anyone else for the time being, so she could only ask Xiao Ming for help.
"I refuse such a feud," Xiao Ming said decisively.
What does your family's feud have to do with me? Isn't this just an open and aboveboard feud?
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, if you agree, I am willing to offer you a pill that can improve your cultivation level in the late stage of Qi Refining."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming immediately became interested. As his cultivation level improved, the effects of the Spirit Gathering Pill had diminished considerably. If he could obtain a more powerful pill, he would naturally not let it go.
"I can intervene, but at most I can only seriously injure you. If you insist, then I have no choice but to refuse."
"Alright, serious injury is acceptable." Yan Yuxue sighed and had no choice but to back down.
Having accepted the job, Xiao Ming quietly distanced himself from Yan Yuxue and moved closer to Yan Shaoyu, observing his actions.
After Yan Yuxue came down, another Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator went up. After demonstrating his powerful strength, he faced the awkward situation of having no one to challenge him. Shen Tu Ren, who had been sitting on the sidelines for a long time, finally got his chance to appear.
After a fierce battle between the two Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators, Shen Tu Ren ultimately prevailed, defeating them with minor injuries. However, this time he learned his lesson and only seriously injured them without actually killing them.
Seeing that Shen Tu Ren was injured, an enemy couldn't hold back any longer. A cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining stepped forward, wanting to take the opportunity to kill Shen Tu Ren. However, although this man was injured, his cultivation level and combat experience were still stronger. After a fierce battle, he was killed by Shen Tu Ren.
Apart from Shen Tu Ren, most of the strong and confident individuals have already qualified for the competition, such as Qu Zheng and Wu Yun.
After waiting for so long, Yan Shaoyu finally couldn't hold back any longer. As expected, Yan Yuxue guessed correctly. Faced with the Ascension Token in hand and his brother's death, he still couldn't bear to let go of this opportunity to enter the Immortal Sect.
After glancing at Yan Yuxue, who was meditating and resting in the distance, Yan Shaoyu stepped onto the arena. He was using earth-attribute bead magic weapons, which were both offensive and defensive. He fought with a cautious and methodical approach, and his strength should not be inferior to that of his elder brother. Xiao Ming watched him very carefully and pondered his countermeasures.
Not long after, Yan Shaoyu seized an opportunity and hit the man in the abdomen with a bead, blasting him out of the arena.
With the outcome decided, Xiao Ming finally stepped forward and walked onto the arena before the others. Below the arena, Yan Yuxue opened her eyes with concern. In fact, making a deal with Xiao Ming was a last resort after the original plan failed, since she really couldn't find a suitable candidate besides Xiao Ming for the time being.
"This young man looks a bit younger than me, but his cultivation level is higher. When we met before, he was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, but now he has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining. Moreover, he is a talisman master, so his strength must be extraordinary. I hope I haven't misjudged him," Yan Yuxue muttered to herself.
"My name is Xiao Ming. Please enlighten me!" Xiao Ming handed the ascending token to the examiner and bowed politely as he arrived at the center of the arena.
"Yan Shaoyu, please enlighten me!" Upon seeing this, Yan Shaoyu had no choice but to return the greeting.
"Fellow Daoist, may we begin?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Of course." As soon as Yan Shaoyu finished speaking, he found that the other party's flying sword had already pierced through. He hurriedly summoned a series of egg-sized, earth-yellow beads. These beads converged in the center and tightly clamped Xiao Ming's flying sword.
This is a relatively rare complete set of magical artifacts. Each of the six beads individually would only be considered a low-grade magical artifact, but together they form an extremely outstanding mid-grade magical artifact.
Yan Shaoyu made a hand gesture, and two of the beads immediately flew out and crashed into Xiao Ming.
thump~
The yellowish-brown bead struck the bronze shield with a dull thud. Seeing this, Yan Shaoyu separated two more beads and launched them at Xiao Ming from the left and right ends.
Unable to attend to both sides, Xiao Ming had no choice but to quickly retreat and create distance. He then threw out a few seeds from his storage bag. Driven by his magic, the seeds rapidly grew into a large vine hand, which grabbed the two beads.
Wood overcomes earth; these vines rapidly absorbed the earth-attribute spiritual energy from the magical artifact, causing the beads' surface to dim. However, at that moment, two other beads flew in quickly, smashing through the vine's massive hand and releasing them.
Under Yan Shaoyu's control, the four beads moved with ease, attacking from four different angles. This was the reason why Yan Shaoyu was able to win so easily. Such a flexible magical artifact could both attack and defend, and even a shield-type magical artifact would be unable to defend against it.
"What a nuisance." Xiao Ming simply stopped defending and took out four talismans from his storage bag and threw them out. With four explosions, the four beads were blown away.
Seizing this brief moment of respite, he raised his hand, and a giant firebird materialized in the air, screeching as it descended towards Yan Shaoyu.
"Oh no!" Yan Shaoyu's expression changed. He had to divide his energy to control Xiao Ming's flying sword and also to control the remaining four beads. He couldn't manage both at the moment.
The firebird landed and exploded into layers of fire waves, completely engulfing Yan Shaoyu, but Xiao Ming frowned. Was this really all the tricks he had up his sleeve?
However, when the firelight subsided, he saw a yellowish-brown light shield appear, which shielded Yan Shaoyu from all the attacks.
Xiao Ming remained calm and pointed at the flying sword. With the help of his magic power, the flying sword shook off the two beads and pierced straight towards the spiritual light shield.
The shield, which had already dimmed considerably after withstanding Xiao Ming's full-force attack, immediately developed cracks as the flying sword pierced through it, and was only one step away from shattering.
Although Yan Shaoyu looked anxious, he had one hand hidden in his sleeve. The next moment, a hidden golden light flew out and pierced Xiao Ming's brow at an extremely fast speed.
Ding!
The bronze shield crashed down, firmly imprisoning the magical artifact.
"A flying needle magic weapon." Xiao Ming frowned. As expected, he was a treacherous and cunning person.
"This kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, we can't drag this out any longer, we need to finish this quickly."
Thinking this, a cyan talisman appeared in Xiao Ming's sleeve.
Rending Wind Blade!
As Xiao Ming suddenly activated the talisman, an invisible wind blade flew out, its speed even exceeding that of the flying needle magic weapon from before. Yan Shaoyu could only manage to block the six earthen-yellow beads in front of him.
However, while this magical artifact could control other magical artifacts, it could not stop the invisible wind blades. The wind blades, comparable in power to a mid-grade flying sword, directly shattered these beads and then collided with the already crumbling spiritual light shield.
With the sound of the aura shield shattering, Yan Shaoyu screamed and fell off the stage.
