Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 124: Mantis Reveals Her Blade (Please Subscribe)

The next morning.

While Chen Xuan was having breakfast, Yu Qingsong told him the brief information he had found out.

In the first round of the preliminary competition, the mechanical beast at the seventh level of Qi training eliminated 70% of the contestants.

Only 3,000 people remained.

Basically, they are all in the late stage of Qi training.

In the preliminary round of Xicheng, one hundred people were selected from these three thousand people to participate in the semi-finals.

In order to boost morale, the top management of West City will give out spirit stones to reward the 100 qualified candidates.

As for the ranking rules, it’s very simple, random draw, and the winner takes all.

It goes without saying that those who keep winning will naturally rank at the top.

Those who fail can be resurrected and fight again.

If you lose two games, you will be disqualified and will not have to go on stage again.

Finally, one hundred people were selected based on their scores.

"Brother Xuan, the list of opponents will not be announced until before the performance competition, so it is difficult to obtain opponent information."

"Don't bother. Don't worry about it."

Chen Xuan smiled.

“No matter who the opponent is, the result is the same.”

"That is."

Yu Qingsong also laughed.

He had witnessed Chen Xuan's fighting ability with his own eyes, and had also seen some of the strange insects that Chen Xuan had cultivated.

I thought to myself that no matter what, I had to find a gambling stall that was willing to put up the bet and make some money from it today.

Everyone arrived at the square early.

Yu Qingsong looked everywhere for a gambling stall.

Finally found a place that was willing to let Chen Xuan bet.

The odds can be as low as ten to one.

"That's too much. This is a random draw. With these odds, can Chen Xuan win for sure?"

"What do you know! If you don't want to bet, just go away and don't block my business!"

"Bet, why not! Eighty spirit stones, all on Chen Xuan!"

Just treat it as a spirit stone picked up for free, don’t miss it.

At this time, Jiang Zhengming next to him also joined in the fun.

"I have one hundred and twenty spirit stones, all of which I bet on Chen Xuan!"

"And mine, I have thirty spirit stones, all on Chen Xuan!"

Su Yanping followed suit and placed a bet.

The three people's actions quickly attracted the attention of the wandering cultivators nearby.

"I'll bet Chen Xuan too, twenty spirit stones!"

"Chen Xuan, forty spirit stones!"

The gambling stall owner became anxious.

"Closed! No more bets!"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, the odds are low.

Ten to one.

Even so, this group of people went crazy and swarmed to bet on Chen Xuan.

The stall owner next to him gloated over the misfortune.

"Just wait for the loss of spirit stones! Even the Insect Demon Chen Xuan dares to open a bet."

"Ten to one, what am I afraid of!"

The stall owner still insisted.

"I don't know. The Silver Hook Casino won't even open a bet on Chen Xuan!"

"Ah, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Even the biggest gambling houses refused to offer odds for Chen Xuan, apparently believing that the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

This time, Chen Xuan didn't wait too long.

His opponent was a giant with a burly figure and holding a wind-splitting knife.

The Pifeng Knife is about five feet long, with a long and narrow blade and an extremely sharp blade that can cut copper and iron as if it were rotten wood.

Being able to use such heavy weapons and magic tools, this giant has very strong attack power.

"Ten Thousand Iron Hands, Qi Training Level Eight!"

"I heard that he has some mental problems and is confused, but his strength should not be underestimated!"

"I once fought against a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training from a sect, and cut his magic sword in half with one blow."

"Now we're going to have a good show, Wan Tie Shou versus Chen Xuan, the main event!"

In the sight of everyone in the square, Chen Xuan walked slowly onto the stage with a smile on his face.

"Chen Xuan, nice to meet you, fellow Daoist."

"Ten Thousand Iron Hands. Stop talking nonsense and get started!"

Wan Tieshou held the Wind-Splitting Blade in both hands, stood in place, and slashed towards Chen Xuan in the air.

An extremely large blade aura suddenly surged, reaching over ten feet in size, and slashed down from the air with ferocious force. Chen Xuan's body did not move.

Divine thoughts moved slightly.

The Iron-back Mantis suddenly appeared.

He is over ten feet tall, two feet taller than Wan Tieshan.

With golden swords in both arms, he blocked the wind-splitting sword head-on.

The three swords clashed against each other, the golden light flashed, the eyes were dazzling, sparks flew, even the air seemed to explode, and there were bursts of roars.

The casual cultivators standing a little closer could feel the cold and murderous aura of Wan Tie's sword, and they were so nervous that they stopped breathing.

However, despite the brilliant golden light, Chen Xuan remained indifferent. He stood there, watching with a smile.

He remained calm and unharmed, even the magic sword behind him was not unsheathed.

"Fellow Daoist Wan, there's no need to hold back. My demon insect can still handle it!"

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Wan Tieshou's eyes fixed and his face turned ashen.

He had attacked with all his might, but he was still unable to break through the golden swords in the Iron-backed Mantis's arms.

Unexpectedly, this Chen Xuan really has some real skills. The Iron-backed Mantis he summoned alone is not inferior to him, an eighth-level Qi training cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you better be careful. If I hurt your demon insect, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

At this time, Wan Tieshou took a deep breath, shouted loudly, and flew towards the Iron-back Mantis with the sword as one.

At first, the figure of Wan Tie Shou could still be seen clearly.

However, after only two or three breaths, Wan Tie Shou turned into a huge monster with a faint golden light flowing on his body as he continued to accelerate.

"This is?"

"A peak-level first-level physical cultivator!"

"Dual cultivation of Dharma and body!"

There was a loud "boom".

In mid-air, Wan Tie Shou leaped down, and the wind-splitting knife in his hand slashed fiercely on the golden knife of Iron-back Mantis.

The Iron-back Mantis swayed slightly, stood firmly, and took Wan Tieshou's Wind-Splitting Blade.

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Wan's sword power almost made my demon insect take a step back."

Seeing that the Iron-back Mantis easily blocked his full-strength attack, Wan Tieshou's pupils constricted.

He couldn't believe it.

The Wind-Splitting Sword Technique that he was so proud of couldn't even defeat a demon insect summoned by Chen Xuan.

An even stronger spiritual power fluctuation burst out from him.

The pitch-black edge on the Wind-Splitting Blade suddenly grew stronger again, like a solid entity.

However, the Ironback Mantis blocked the attack of the Wind-Splitting Blade with just a little effort.

Wan Tieshou retracted his Wind-Splitting Blade and took a deep breath.

He had used all his strength in that last blow, but he didn't make the Iron-back Mantis retreat a single step.

From beginning to end, the Ironback Mantis did not attack.

That's it?

Chen Xuan shook his head.

"Friend Wan, it's almost time. I need to go home for dinner. Please leave!"

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, the Iron-back Mantis spread its wings and leaped into the air, transforming into a gray shadow. The golden swords on its arms emitted a dazzling light, as if it appeared out of thin air in front of Wan Tie Shou, and chopped him down heavily at an incredibly fast speed.

Wan Tieshou roared, and his Wind-Splitting Blade only blocked the Iron-Backed Mantis's two blades for two breaths before his body was forced backwards by the enormous force. His feet left deep marks on the stage, but he was unable to stand.

With a "bang", Wan Tie Shou and his sword were directly knocked away by the golden double swords of Ironback Mantis.

Almost everyone could see that Chen Xuan had shown mercy.

The true strength of the Iron-backed Mantis was far beyond that of the Ten Thousand Iron Hands who was at the eighth level of Qi training.

Although both of them wield swords, Wan Tie Shou cannot compare with Ironback Mantis in terms of strength or speed.

The enormous force made Wan Tieshou climb up from the performance platform in a panic.

He had thick skin and flesh, and had reached the peak of the first level of body refining techniques. He was strong and only suffered minor injuries.

"Fellow Daoist Chen has such a demonic insect, I, Wan, am willing to admit defeat!"

Wan Tieshou bowed to Chen Xuan, then turned over and jumped off the performance platform.

offstage.

The wandering cultivators who were watching the battle fell silent again.

They thought that Chen Xuan might be very strong.

Should be able to defeat Wan Tie Shou.

But I didn't expect that it would be so easy to win in this way.

From beginning to end, except for summoning the Ironback Mantis, Chen Xuan did not take any action.

Wan Tieshou, a famous swordsman who had reached the eighth level of Qi training, was unable to defeat even a demon insect summoned by Chen Xuan.

Then, someone started clapping first.

The audience burst into applause.

"Chen Xuan wins!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who served as the referee broke the silence at the right time.
