Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 178: Arena Competition
"You tell me." After hearing what the head of the Huo family said, Tie Zhihui continued to smile and didn't take it seriously.

"In this game, the Huo family is betting 80 acres of first-grade high-quality spiritual farmland. If the Kuai family wins, they will offer it together with the blue silver mine. If the Huo family wins, they will only take 50% of the blue silver mine."

"Interesting." Tie Liuyun's eyes flickered, and he was somewhat interested. Eighty acres of first-grade high-quality spiritual farmland was actually not much worse than the blue silver vein in terms of value.

Both are long-lasting assets that can be passed on to future generations.

In recent years, Huo Bing relied on his status to get close to Kuang Liuting and obtain the family treasures of Dingnan Niu family. The wealth of Tanggu and Huo family has naturally increased rapidly.

The young men of the family seemed to be blinded by these resources and began to spend more. It was the head of such a poor and suddenly rich family who was willing to use the land he had managed for a hundred years to gamble to save his face.

But Tie Liuyun is not in a hurry to take over the Huo family's assets now. As long as Huo Bing dies, he will have plenty of opportunities. However, if he can slap Huo Bing in the face again while he is still alive, Tie Zhihui is still quite interested.

The Iron Commander, who was always known for being "strong" among his peers, was about to agree when he suddenly paused and turned sideways to look at the Taoist in black shoes standing beside him.

After all, I really didn't bring anyone with me this time, so even if I agreed, it would be useless.

Taoist Heilu didn't think for too long and nodded to the head of the Huo family.

When the latter saw the fierce man's eyes, he immediately suppressed the arrogance on his face and thought to himself: "This person is not an ordinary foundation-building person."

The head of the Huo family bowed and said, "Thank you very much, senior. You are so kind that I am fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from you again today. I am very grateful."

When the Foundation Establishment cultivators saw that there was a monkey show to watch, the atmosphere in the venue became lively again.

The head of Kangda secretly sighed and called Jiang Qing over to warn him: "Don't be too stubborn. After all, the people on the other side are descendants of a great foundation-building clan. They won't all be fighting against a bunch of idiots like the second brother."

Jiang Qing scanned all the Qigong practitioners of the Huo family, curled his lips, and said indifferently: "Big Brother, the idiot who just fought against the second brother is considered good among the people on the opposite side."

Pei Yi was laughing nearby. Seeing Kang Dabao's bad face, he stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Master, what Junior Brother Jiang said is not without reason. But Junior Brother, you should also take Master's words to heart. No matter what time it is, it's never wrong to be careful."

Pei Yi was the elder, and Jiang Qing's relationship with him was not as close as that with Kang Dabao. He did not dare to say anything in rebuttal and just lowered his head to listen obediently.

When Kang Dabao saw Jiang Qing's look, he was about to say a few more words, but the Taoist priest with black shoes on the other side waved him over. Then Sect Leader Kang left his fellow disciples behind and trotted all the way to the Taoist priest with black shoes on.

"You will fight in the third match." The words of the Taoist priest Hei Lu puzzled the head of the Kang sect. He said hesitantly, "Uncle Master, let the third son fight. Our chances of winning will be much greater."

"Among those guys in the Huo family, there is no one who can withstand his three swords. A fight would be very boring. You go, so you can test the quality of these rich people in the Huo family." The Taoist in black shoes explained softly.

Kang Dabao was surprised after hearing this. This was a competition involving tens of thousands of spirit stones, and his uncle wanted to take part himself?

The head of the Kang family was grumbling in his heart. This was too much of a concern, and he didn't want to go. If he lost, the Black Shoe Taoist might not blame him, but it was hard to say whether Tie Liuyun would turn against him.

"Just go. Can't I afford to lose?" Taoist Heilu said calmly. Then, regardless of Kang Dabao's reaction, he decided on the final candidates with the Foundation Establishment Referee.

The Foundation Establishment referee was shocked when he heard this. Although he had never heard of Jiang Qing's reputation, it was not difficult for him to see with his keen eyesight that the young man with the sword on his back should be much more powerful than the fat man.

Therefore, the choice of this Taoist priest with black shoes really surprised him.

Tie Liuyun also heard the news and wanted to discuss it with Taoist Heilu.

After all, if he lost this battle, the ownership of the blue silver mine and the eighty acres of high-quality spiritual fields would be secondary. If this old guy Huo Bin saved his face, all his previous hard work would be in vain.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Heilu did not give face this time and did not accept Tie Liuyun's suggestion to replace him.

The latter had no other choice. His usual tactics of intimidation and threat were not suitable for use on the Black-Shoe Taoist, so he could only stare at Master Kang and make a gesture.

"Boy, if you can't win this battle, you'll be punished."

Kang Dabao felt helpless, but Jiang Qing on the other side was very disappointed. He hadn't been out for quite a while and was just waiting for this boxing match to satisfy his craving.

Tie Xishan and Yuan Jin had won consecutively before. He was happy but also quite disappointed. He had never expected that the head of the Huo family would dare to add an extra game.

When things seemed to be looking bright, he finally endured the nagging of the headmaster senior brother. Now was the time when he was eager to give it a try, but Uncle Hei Lu actually abandoned him and asked the headmaster senior brother to challenge instead!
"You just want to have fun by yourself throughout the whole game, right?" Jiang Qing was slightly angry. He glanced around and saw everyone around him, either elders or fellow students. He didn't know who to vent his anger on, so he could only look at the Huo family members opposite him with cold eyes.

When the head of the Huo family saw Jiang Qing's appearance, he regretted it in his heart, "Damn it, the sword cultivator on the opposite side has an amazing momentum, even the few foundation-building seeds in the family are far inferior to him. Could it be that this extra match went wrong again?"

The time to go on stage was approaching, and Yuan Jin came up to the head of Kangda to talk to him: "Brother, when you go up, try to protect yourself first, don't try to be brave, if you lose, you lose."

Master Kang nodded after hearing this. Although he was frightened by Tie Liuyun's eyes for a while, he really had no intention of fighting for his life on this stage.

"Hey, that's not right. You are using my words to taunt me, right?" Kang Dabao thought for a while and became furious. Before he could catch up with Yuan Jin, he heard the golden bell ringing on the stage.

He stopped and was about to turn around and walk back to the ring when he felt his body lighten and his feet leave the ground. It turned out that someone was lifting him up.

"It's time to go on stage. Don't embarrass yourself." Taoist Heilu grabbed Kang Dabao and threw him onto the stage. Sect Leader Kang was caught off guard and stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

The Huo family member on the opposite side jumped onto the stage first with a graceful movement, looking very impressive.

Seeing that the person who came on the stage was a fat man instead of the young man with a sword on his back whose eyes were extremely sharp just now, the Huo family's originally frowned brows immediately relaxed, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, and they looked somewhat dignified.

"Qu He from the Huo family, please give me some advice."

"Zhongmingzong, Kang Dabao."

Unexpectedly, when Qu He just said his name, there was silence on the stage. As soon as the head of Kangda came on stage and announced his name, the group of foundation-building practitioners below the stage immediately started talking.

"Is this the son-in-law that Fei Nanying chose for the Fei family? He doesn't look that good. His appearance and cultivation are not as good as my son's."

"Haha, Lao Xu, he's the sect leader, how can your son compare to him?"

"Bah, I don't know if his leader is in charge of fifty monks in total. How can he compare with my son? My son follows me and sleeps with dozens of women every night."

"Ten women in one night? It's up to you? Old Jia, I've been your brother for so many years, so I'll be frank with you. How about you lend me a magic tool to test it? I think your son is most likely a wild man."

"Bullshit, Xin, I just met you last month, your son is the real one"

The conversation about foundation building in the audience was not held in any taboo and it reached Qu He's ears, causing his expression to change for a while, and he looked at Kang Dabao with an increasingly indignant expression.

They both sold themselves to become son-in-law, but why didn't he have any foundation building experience, while the girl from the Huo family he married acted like a tiger!
Kang Dabao on the opposite side could tell from Qu He's face that something was wrong. This son-in-law of the Huo family must be seriously ill, right? Those people in the audience didn't say anything good about the Taoist master. You are jealous too? !

Seeing the opponent attacking in anger, two flaming palm prints flew through the air. Although this fire-based Taoist technique was not as sophisticated as the one used by Xu Yingshi, it was equally not to be underestimated.

The head of the Kang sect did not dare to neglect it and used a mid-grade shield magic weapon as tall as his body to protect himself. This was the Shutu Qingyuan Shield that Yuan Jin had created again. This was the first time that the head of the Kang sect used this magic weapon to fight the enemy. He only hoped that this shield could last longer than the previous two.

The Shutu Qingyuan Shield protected Kang Dabao tightly. Its surface was turned black by two fire palms, but it did not affect its use against the enemy.

The first move was a test, and it didn't work, but Qu He didn't care. He then offered up a foot-long red flag and threw it into the air. The flag swelled in the wind, raising a billowing wave of fire that rushed towards Kang Dabao from the air.

Kang Dabao saw the situation as if he was facing a powerful enemy. He wiped his storage bag and quickly shot out several talismans, forming several water shields to protect him. Qu He's small flag was powerful, and the waves of fire that came towards him burned and vaporized the water shield floating beside Kang Dabao in just a moment.

The ochre-yellow light on the outside of the Shutu Qingyuan Shield was also retreating step by step under the pressure of the fire waves, and in the blink of an eye only a thin layer was left.

"The Huo family's young son-in-law is quite capable. He has practiced this small banner in a proper way, and has also mastered some fire-related techniques. He should be able to master the Fire Wave Technique to some extent. With the help of this small banner, he will be able to defeat any ordinary cultivator in the late stage of Qi training if he encounters one."

"Not only that, his cultivation is also much higher. Qu He is at the ninth level of Qi training, while that young sect leader is only at the seventh level. It seems that he has only been at the seventh level for a short time. I don't know why Daoist Hei Lu chose him to appear.

The sword cultivator next to him is young, but his aura is so amazing that it makes me tremble. Although Qu He has some skills, he is far inferior to him. I am afraid he can't withstand a few sword strikes. If the sword cultivator comes on the scene, he will have a much higher chance of winning than this young master."

"Yes, maybe Taoist Hei Lu feels sorry for the Huo family. Haha, his family has been raising sons-in-law for so many years, and finally there is one who is a bit decent."

"This fat guy is a bit dangerous. I wonder if the Fei family has given him any benefits. Eh?"

The colorful-clothed Foundation Establishment cultivator who spoke last looked in the direction of the black-shoe Taoist. The several Qi Refining Stage juniors beside him saw the situation on the stage and there was no worry on their faces.

"I'm afraid there's a backup plan."

"clang" the short blade shot out from Kang Dabao's sleeve was blocked by Qu He with a green-blade flying sword. The latter shouted coldly, and the small flag spun half a circle in the air. The fire wave technique became more powerful, and the scorching air made several Kuai family monks in the audience feel a little uncomfortable.

The scene suddenly became ugly. Kang Dabao seemed to be at a disadvantage and could only rely on the Shutu Qingyuan Shield to isolate himself from the fire waves outside.

Apart from the short blade that shot out from his sleeve when the sneak attack just now failed, he didn't even make any move to use Taoist magic or talismans to fight back.

The little beast in his sleeve took the opportunity to spit out a water arrow spell. It was obvious that the little beast was only a few years old, so its water arrow spell could only be very powerful.

As soon as the water arrow hit the fire wave, it was burned into gas and was of no benefit to the battle situation.

Qu He couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride on his face, but this hint of pride was only fleeting.

As the first son-in-law of the Huo family, he would not make any low-level mistakes and would not underestimate any opponent.

He just waved his fingers, and the green-bladed flying sword that had just knocked the short blade away turned around and pierced the shield along the wave of fire, intending to repel Kang Dabao's defensive magic weapon with one blow.

"Fellow Daoist, this junior is very scheming." In return for courtesy, Tie Liuyun praised in front of the Black Shoe Taoist. "The Huo family had no chance of winning anyway." The Black Shoe Taoist didn't even raise his eyelids, and his face was expressionless when he said this.

As soon as the two finished speaking, Jiang Qing showed joy on his face: "Big Brother is going to win."

The yellowish-brown light on the outside of the Shutu Qingyuan Shield was shattered by Qu He's flying sword, and a raging wave of fire rolled over, about to annihilate Kang Dabao.

Qu He just showed a look of joy on his face when he saw the arbitrator on the stage who was going to support Kang Dabao pause for a moment, looked surprised, and turned to look at him.

Before Qu He understood what was happening, he saw two golden lights breaking through the fire waves and hitting the flying sword on the opposite side.

The magic weapon that had been with him for many years was knocked to the ground in an instant. Just as he felt his connection with the flying sword was severed, two golden lights attacked him from the opposite side.

Qu He hurriedly threw out a handful of protective talismans. The talisman's spiritual power shield was about to be formed when it was shattered by the unstoppable golden light. Two beams of golden light were about to hit him!

I don't know if this top-grade magic weapon, the Flowing Cloud Robe, can block it!
Qu He had no time to react. He panicked, his hand gestures became disordered, and he could not move. He saw two powerful golden lights shooting towards him.

"Go!" The foundation-building referee pointed and a silver mirror appeared in front of Qu He. Two golden lights were cast on the bright silver mirror, just like a mud cow entering the sea. After the waves receded, there was no sound.

Qu He was suddenly filled with fear and horror. Since the Foundation Establishment cultivator on the stage had taken action, it meant that he had determined that Qu He would be beaten to death on the stage by Master Kang if he was hit.

"I lost!" Qu He closed his eyes unwillingly, picked up the flying sword, and jumped off the stage. After returning this time, his situation would be difficult, and those spoiled children of the Huo family might vent their anger on him.

"In the third game, the Kuai family wins!" The familiar voice rang out again.

"Fortunately, there is no betting." Some foundation-building masters clapped quietly in the audience, while a few others also discussed in a low voice.

Showing weakness to the enemy and taking advantage of their unpreparedness is a simple fighting tactic, but Kang Dabao pretended well. Not only did Qu He fail to notice it, but only a few people in the audience who could see through his foundation could tell at a glance.

The foundation-building referee on the stage glanced at the ordinary Kang Dabao with a little surprise.

To be fair, his silver mirror magic weapon was actually under a lot of pressure, and it was not as insignificant as it seemed on the surface.

Judging from the force he felt, the two golden lights of Kang Dabao were almost as powerful as the full-strength attack of some foundation-building seeds of low status.

If he were to encounter a family with lower status, like the Huo family, his family's foundation-building seeds might not be able to defeat the young leader in front of him.

Before the head of the Huo family came, he had never thought that he would lose all three battles. His face was frighteningly dark at this moment, but no one cared.

"How can I explain this to the old ancestor when I get home! Damn it, if several of the young masters of the family were not in seclusion in the spiritual land of the clan, waiting to build their foundation, how could you have the chance to act so rampant!"

As the saying goes, the more you add, the more you lose.

The gambling dog in charge of the Huo family immediately became more and more ambitious. He walked up to Tie Liuyun in a presumptuous manner, stared at him with his bright red eyes and said, "Commander Tie, let's play another game. This time I will use a shop of the Huo family in Xuanwei City as a prize..."

Before he finished speaking, Tie Liuyun raised his hand to interrupt him. The commander said jokingly, "We have fought in the early and middle stages of Qi training, and you lost both times. You wanted to play an extra match in the late stage of Qi training, and you played an extra match, but you also lost. If you play again, it will be the foundation building stage, right? That's fine, go back and ask your old man if he dares to come!"

In stark contrast to the head of the Huo family, who had a sullen face and looked like he was clenching his fists to make water come out, was the head of the Kang family.

At this moment, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart at all, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly: "Eighty acres of first-class high-quality spiritual farm, I don't know how much I can get back."
