As the voice sounded, the atmosphere around became more tense. Everyone waited nervously, not knowing what would happen next. At this moment, a beam of light shot out from Xiaoyao Valley, illuminating the entire valley entrance. Everyone was startled by the sudden light and took a few steps back. The light gradually faded, and a figure appeared in front of everyone. This person was tall, with a majestic face, wearing a black robe and holding a long flute in his hand. His eyes revealed a powerful aura that made people dare not look directly at him. Behind him was a group of Hehuan Sect disciples dressed in uniform, both men and women.
"Who are you? Why did you come to Xiaoyao Valley?" The mysterious man asked in a low voice, and every word seemed to carry a heavy pressure, making people breathless. Elder Wang Yanran stepped forward, bowed slightly and said: "Sir, we are cultivators from Liuli Sect and Cangyun Sect. We come here to explore the secrets of Xiaoyao Valley. We have no intention of offending your place. Please forgive us." Elder Wang Yanran has an elegant posture and extraordinary temperament. Her words reveal sincerity and respect. The mysterious man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at everyone. His eyes stayed on Wang Lunwo and others for a moment, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people's souls. "Explore secrets? Humph, Hehuan Sect is not a place you can come to whenever you want. Since you are here, don't think of leaving easily." The mysterious man's words were full of threats, which made people shudder.
Everyone's heart tightened, they knew that a fierce battle was unavoidable. Elder Wang Yanran and Elder Zheng Youxu exchanged glances, then drew their weapons at the same time, ready to fight. Their movements were in unison, showing years of tacit understanding. Wang Lunwo also took out his axe and shield from his storage bag, his heart full of tension and uneasiness. He knew that their current situation was very dangerous, but he also understood that retreating was useless. Only by facing it bravely can there be a glimmer of hope. He held the axe and shield tightly, feeling the cold touch from the weapons, and a firm belief surged in his heart.
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a burst of laughter suddenly came. This laughter was crisp and pleasant, like a silver bell, and it seemed particularly abrupt in the tense atmosphere. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw another woman slowly walking out of Xiaoyao Valley. This woman was wearing a white long dress, with long flowing hair, like a fairy descending to the earth. Her face was beautiful, her skin was white as snow, and her eyes revealed a hint of playfulness and agility, which made people unable to help but love her. Her appearance seemed to bring a glimmer of life to this tense battlefield.
"Haha, big brother, why are you so nervous? Since these people have the courage to come to Xiaoyao Valley, they must have some skills. Why don't we play with them and see how capable they are?" The woman said with a smile, her voice was like the sound of nature, intoxicating. The mysterious man frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the woman's proposal. But he finally nodded and said, "Okay, since you want to play, then play with them. But don't play too much." Although the mysterious man's tone was full of warnings, it also revealed a hint of pampering. The woman smiled slightly, then looked at everyone: "Do you dare to accept the challenge of our Hehuan Sect? If you win, we will let you go. If you lose, you will stay in Xiaoyao Valley forever."
Everyone looked at each other, a little hesitant in their hearts. They knew that this challenge was full of danger, but if they did not accept it, they would probably have a hard time getting out of it. Elder Wang Yanran thought for a moment, then said: "Okay, we accept the challenge. If we win, please let us all leave here safely." The woman nodded and said: "No problem. Let's get started." The woman glanced at Lu Xunhuan and said, "Since this matter was caused by our young disciples, then let the younger generation solve this problem."
Elder Wang Yanran seemed to have guessed what the other party wanted to say, "So, you mean that we need some younger disciples to communicate with each other?" The woman was not annoyed, "That's right, let us each send out three young disciples to compete, best of three. If you win, you can naturally leave here. If we win, then please stay and be our guests in the Hehuan Sect." After saying that, the woman talked to the mysterious man before, and soon she appointed the troops and sent out three disciples of the Hehuan Sect.
Here, Zheng Yongxu and Elder Wang Yanran discussed it and first sent a female disciple and a male disciple from Liuli Sect and Cangyun Sect respectively. The third candidate has not yet been determined. Wang Lunwo knew that he could no longer hide his shortcomings at this time, so he volunteered to be the third candidate, but everyone around him looked at him with suspicion. They looked at Wang Lunwo, their hearts full of doubts. Who is this young man? What is his ability? Why dare to stand up at this time? Their eyes were full of distrust. Only Lu Xunhuan's eyes were different, he knew Wang Lunwo's strength. In addition, Liu Yong and Ji Furong, who had participated in the arrest of Lu Xunhuan with Wang Lunwo before, naturally tried their best to ensure that Wang Lunwo was indeed extraordinary in combat. They recalled their experiences with Wang Lunwo and were full of confidence. In the end, Elder Zheng and Elder Wang agreed to let Wang Lunwo play.
The battle was about to start. The first to go on the field was Zhang He, who was in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm from the Hou Cang Yun Sect. Although Zhang He was not the top disciple of the Cang Yun Sect, or even an excellent disciple, he was indeed the strongest disciple that the Cang Yun Sect could show off. He was tall, with a resolute face and a firm belief in his eyes. He held a long sword in his hand, and the blade emitted a cold light, which made people shudder. The opposite He Huan Sect sent out a charming female disciple. She held a short blade, had a light figure, and revealed a hint of charm in her eyes. Her appearance made the male disciples present have their heartbeats accelerated.
The female disciple attacked Zhang He directly. Her movements were light and agile, like a dancing butterfly. The short blade in her hand seemed to have life, flashing with cold light. Zhang He had no choice but to pick up his long sword to fight back. His movements were steady and powerful, and each of his swords contained great power. As soon as they fought, Zhang He felt the powerful strength of the opponent in the late stage of the Condensation Realm. He was secretly surprised in his heart. He didn't expect the opponent to be so powerful. It seems that the Hehuan Sect has not thought of putting them in a desperate situation. Otherwise, they can just send a young disciple who has reached the perfect stage of the Condensation Realm. Thinking that there is still a little room for fighting, Zhang He also used all his skills to fight with the opponent.
Zhang He's swordsmanship was sharp, and each strike was powerful, as if it could split the sky and earth. His figure moved quickly on the battlefield, dazzling people. However, the opponent's female disciple was not afraid at all. Her short blade was like a poisonous snake, always blocking Zhang He's attack at the critical moment. Her figure was light, like a feather, making people unpredictable. There was a hint of teasing in her eyes, as if she was playing with Zhang He.
Although the Liuli Sect and Cangyun Sect disciples who were watching the battle had expected something, they still found it hard to accept the facts when they saw them. After all, this was a matter of life and death, and everyone had a solemn expression on their faces. They stared at the battlefield closely, their hearts filled with worry. They knew that if Zhang He lost, their situation would be even more dangerous. They silently cheered for Zhang He, hoping that he could defeat his opponent.
Only Wang Lunwo was thinking at this time, it seems that the people of the Hehuan Sect seem to be playing tricks on us, this is an opportunity, should I go on the field second or last? If I lose the second game, then it doesn't matter whether I go on the field last or not, it seems that it is more appropriate to go on the field second. Having made up his mind, Wang Lunwo symbolically observed the fight on the field.
The battle between Zhang He and the female disciple became more and more intense. Their figures moved quickly on the battlefield, which was dazzling. Although Zhang He's swordsmanship was sharp, the female disciple of the opponent could always block his attack at the critical moment. Her short blade was like a venomous snake, always appearing in places Zhang He didn't expect. Zhang He gradually fell into a passive position, and his physical strength was constantly depleted.
Finally, after a fierce battle, Zhang He still lost the first match. His face was full of fatigue and loss. He knew that he had tried his best. The woman opposite said with interest: "Now, please send your second young disciple."
After hearing this, Wang Lunwo took a step forward confidently. Elder Zheng and Elder Wang did not intervene. They might just be trying their best to save the situation. They could only hope that Wang Lunwo and his disciples Liu Yong and Ji Furong would be as powerful as they said. The woman on the opposite side saw that it was Wang Lunwo who was going to fight, and she laughed so hard that her body shook. "A little guy from the Body Refining Stage came. Forget it. We won't bully you. We can just pick out a disciple from the early stage of the Condensation Realm to compete with you."
Wang Lunwo looked indifferent, but he was very happy in his heart. Sure enough, the opponent didn't know his true fighting power. It seemed that I had seized the opportunity in the second round. He held the weapon tightly in his hand, feeling the power coming from the weapon. He knew that this competition was very important to him and he had to win.
The match began, and Wang Lunwo and his opponent faced each other. The opponent was a young man, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes. He thought that it would be easy for him, a cultivator in the early stage of the Condensation Realm, to deal with a little guy in the Body Refining Realm. He waved the long sword in his hand and stabbed at Wang Lunwo. The long sword drew a beautiful arc in the air, carrying a powerful force.
Wang Lunwo did not panic, he calmly observed his opponent's movements. He knew that he could not fight hard, he had to look for opportunities. He flexibly dodged his opponent's attacks, while looking for his opponent's flaws. Seeing Wang Lunwo so flexible, the opponent could not help but feel a little angry. He increased the intensity of his attack, wanting to end the battle as soon as possible.
Wang Lunwo pretended to be beaten by his opponent, but he was actually thinking about when and how to defeat him. He knew that he could not expose his strength too early and had to wait for the right time. He dodged his opponent's attacks while observing his opponent's movements. Finally, after 100 moves, Wang Lunwo exposed a flaw in his opponent. Seeing Wang Lunwo's flaw, the opponent was overjoyed and stabbed Wang Lunwo without hesitation. However, he did not expect that this was a trap set by Wang Lunwo.
At the moment when his opponent stabbed him, Wang Lunwo condensed a water knife that carried a trace of the aura of the Great Way of Water. The water knife flashed blue light in the air, carrying a powerful force. Wang Lunwo swung the water knife and hit the opponent's wrist. The opponent had no time to react, and his wrist was hit by the water knife, and the weapon fell out of his hand. Wang Lunwo won.
At this moment, whether it was the people from the Hehuan Sect or the people from the Liuli Sect and Cangyun Sect, they all looked at Wang Lunwo with surprised eyes. You know, even a trace of the aura of the Great Dao should not be felt by a cultivator in the Body Refining Stage. This is why Wang Lunwo only released a trace of the aura of the Great Dao of Water, and he was afraid that it would be too shocking. Even so, it still shocked everyone present. Even the female disciples of the Hehuan Sect looked at Wang Lunwo differently, as if they wanted to practice dual cultivation with him.
Elder Zheng then said, "Now the match is tied at 1:1, can we have a third match?" Only then did everyone come to their senses. The woman on the opposite side said awkwardly, "Don't think that you won one match by chance, and you will win again in the future." Then she sent out a young disciple of the Hehuan Sect in the late Condensation Realm. This was also something she had sensed before she came. At present, the only young disciple on the opposite side who could show off was a young disciple in the middle stage of the Condensation Realm, so she was not afraid at all.
This time, Elder Wang Yanran sent Ji Furong to fight. Although Ji Furong has decent talent, she has practiced for too short a time, and her cultivation level is only at the middle stage of the Condensation Realm. She has a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and a firm belief in her eyes. She holds a long sword in her hand, and the sword emits a cold light. It may be difficult to win against the opponent in the late stage of the Condensation Realm. So at this time, Wang Lunwo has begun to think about retreating. Now there is only a Thousand Miles Escape Talisman in the bag. If he leaves, how should Yan Jinfan choose? He had to quietly walk aside and communicate with Yan Jinfan in a low voice.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, I'm afraid we are in great danger this time. It's hard to escape. I only have a Thousand Miles Escape Talisman, which is not enough for both of us to leave together." Wang Lunwo's face was full of worry. He knew that the current situation was very dangerous. Yan Jinfan seemed very calm. He looked at Wang Lunwo and said, "Brother Wang, there is no need to say more. If you hadn't rescued me in Dashimo Fishing Village, I would have been captured by the people of Luoxinghai Poison Mist Island to make human pills. You saved my life. As for what happened today, just consider it as my repayment for your kindness that day."
Wang Lunwo was somewhat touched. Although Yan Jinfan and he were friends who had become monks halfway through their lives, the two of them had come all the way from the Endless Fire Territory and had become friends of life and death. At this moment, he had to give up the other party in order to keep his own hope of survival. To be honest, he felt like a coward. But the situation was stronger than the person, and there was nothing he could do about it. If both of them died here today, it would be a waste of Daoist Fellow Yan's efforts. Moreover, after he escaped today, he might be able to avenge Daoist Fellow Yan in the future. Having made up his mind, Wang Lunwo said solemnly, "I will remember what happened today. If we can get together again in the future, I will definitely drink and chat happily with Daoist Fellow."
Yan Jinfan was relieved. "Brother Wang, there's no need to be so pessimistic. The third match hasn't ended yet. We can just act according to circumstances when the time comes."
"Okay." Wang Lunwo nodded heavily, and then watched the battle on the scene with Yan Jinfan.
