Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 63: Capture Ding Si
"Ouch!..."

The three men fell heavily to the ground. Ge Guanghe and the male cultivator named Li groaned and endured it, but Gu Liang suddenly cried out in pain and muttered curses.

Lin Shuyun sighed softly in the stands. She had anticipated the loss of the Gengqi Arena long before Zhu Yongxin and his men launched their all-out siege...

After all, there are still too few high-level disciples in Tianhu Peak...

Xu Yang, on Ding Si's stage, also had a grim expression on his face. He snorted coldly and thought to himself, "If we had defended with all our might from the start, we might have been able to hold out until dawn... But because of Gu Liang's bravado, we had to distract ourselves from the attack, and that's why we lost the stage so quickly."

"Afterwards, the Peak Master must be held responsible for his failure!"

Gu Liang on the ground naturally didn't expect that Xu Yang already had the intention to hold him accountable, and he was still mocking each other with Zhu Yongxin on the ring. Fortunately, the sect's rules stated that disciples were not allowed to kill each other. Otherwise, seeing Zhu Yongxin's gritted teeth, Gu Liang would have shut his mouth completely.

"Alright, Junior Brother Gu, the three of you should go to the side and rest first."

However, Zong Bing on the A1 ring couldn't stand it anymore and cried out softly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Liang nodded sullenly, and followed Ge Guanghe and the others to the side to regulate their breathing.

Seeing this, Chen Mu raised one eyebrow, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He silently took out the Wind Pattern Cloud-Binding Banner and channeled a trace of his magical power into the banner. The next moment, two almost invisible stars lit up on the banner.

He calmed down a little, then gave Niu Dali a wink.

Niu Dali's eyes lit up, and he understood what he meant. He immediately jumped up and laughed out loud, "Brother Zhu, you are very capable. You have taken the Gengqi Arena and made great contributions to the peak... But I don't want Brother Zhu to have all the credit. I can only find another arena and give it to Dutian Peak!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards the Ding Si arena amidst everyone's puzzled expressions.

Seeing this, Chen Mu also shouted, "Where are you, Senior Brother Niu? Why are you still deceiving me?"

Before he finished speaking, he summoned several small water snakes, which wrapped around Niu Dali's unusually thick ankles. Then several water snakes exerted force together, as if trying to stop Niu Dali's steps.

"Hey! A few little reptiles want to stop me, not to mention they're fake!"

Niu Dali also deliberately shouted loudly, gathered all his strength, and took a sudden step forward. Several water snakes burst and disintegrated into water in the blink of an eye.

Chen Mu wanted to cast a spell to stop him, but Niu Dali gathered his strength and suddenly leaped forward, making the ten-foot distance seem like just a few feet away...

"boom!"

Niu Dali still stepped onto the Ding Si arena and gave Xu Yang in front of him a simple smile.

The series of changes left everyone speechless for a long time. They were not fools, so they could naturally see that Chen Mu was not seriously trying to stop him...

Shi Xin on the stands nodded repeatedly, showing a joy even stronger than Zhu Yongxin's when he won the Gengqi Arena.

"I thought this guy had lost his will to fight by not objecting, but it turns out he had no intention of following my instructions at all... Okay, fine!"

Seeing Shi Xin's happy expression, Lin Shuyun frowned. This was different from what she had imagined. Fortunately, she had confidence in Xu Yang's strength...

Back on the stage, before Xu Yang could say anything, Lin Xuanming on the C3 stage next to him shouted, "Niu Dali! Junior Brother Xu is a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Condensation. You can't fight him at all. Get off now!"

If one ignores the gloom in his eyes and only listens to his tone, everyone would probably sigh at the senior brother's earnest concern for his junior brother. However, everyone knew more or less about the relationship between the two of them. They couldn't be called enemies, but it certainly didn't reach the level of concern... Niu Dali smiled slightly and replied loudly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Lin, for your concern. It's just that I'm itching to watch from below..."

He turned to Xu Yang and continued, "I'm guessing Senior Brother Xu Yang feels the same way. Why don't you let me accompany you and give it a try?"

Xu Yang sneered and replied, "Since Junior Brother Niu is here, I will naturally accompany you."

Hearing this, Lin Xuanming put away the gloom in his eyes, looked at Xu Yang expressionlessly, and warned word by word: "Then Junior Brother Xu, please show mercy and don't let Junior Brother Niu get hurt..."

Xu Yang smiled and lowered his head slightly. No one noticed that a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Xu, I'm sorry!"

Niu Dali shouted loudly, waved his hand and took off the Shuiyun robe, revealing the tight-fitting clothes underneath. The next moment, his exposed skin suddenly turned gray and black, and against the backdrop of the night, he seemed to have turned into a ghostly yaksha.

Then a small black-gold hammer suddenly appeared in his right hand. He took a step forward and rushed towards Xu Yang like a black flying stone. Before he got close, he uttered awkward syllables.

Xu Yang's body swayed slightly, and a lot of extremely sticky mud appeared under his feet, making him a little unstable.

Niu Dali's continuous spellcasting would have made others panic if they had dealt with it, but Xu Yang stood still. Facing Niu Dali's rapidly approaching figure, he suddenly raised his hand and made a hand gesture, and his whole body was shining with green light.

As the hand seals were completed, many green peach blossoms appeared out of thin air around him.

"Knot!"

Xu Yang let out a low shout, and the next moment, green lines connected all the peach blossoms and transformed into a light shield shaped like a tortoise shell.

"boom!"

There was a dull sound, and Niu Dali frowned. He raised his hand and shook his wrist. The hammer he just struck seemed to have hit a century-old ironwood.

The ironwood tree is a first-grade, top-grade spiritual material, famous for its trunk being as hard as black iron. Moreover, the magical instruments forged with this spiritual material often have some recoil force.

Niu Dali was a little confused and did not recognize the magic cast by Xu Yang.

Xu Yang didn't give him too much time to think, and took out a magic weapon with his backhand. It was a broken hammer. The difference was that there were many small green thorns on the top of the hammer. The overall look was like an incongruous mace.

He waved his hand and the mace suddenly broke out of the light shield and smashed down hard on Niu Dali's face.

Niu Dali grinned, swung the black gold hammer with both hands and struck upwards at the mace.

"clang!"

Although Xu Yang had profound magical powers, Niu Dali also had great strength. After a moment of stalemate, the mace glowed dimly with green light and flew out in the air, flipping continuously.

Xu Yang's expression changed within the light shield, as if he was somewhat surprised by Niu Dali's strength. He said coldly, "Junior Brother Niu is indeed worthy of being a top-grade spiritual root. He possesses such profound magical power even at the ninth level of Qi Condensation."

Niu Dali was not as relaxed as he looked. His originally gray-black face turned a little blood red. He did not answer, but raised his hand and hit the light shield in front of him with a hammer again.

Seeing that he remained silent, Xu Yang snorted coldly and made a hand gesture. The next moment, the flying mace flashed with dazzling green light and rushed out of the light shield...
