Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 251: Strong Enemies Confrontation
Under Song Xian's control, the real body and three clones fled in all directions, heading towards the four corners of the inner field.

The entire competition venue is over a hundred feet in size, and the four people occupy the four directions of east, south, west and north.

Xu Yan was a little confused as he watched Song Xian's figure transform into four. He had no way of telling which one was real and which one was fake, especially since the four people were so scattered that he couldn't attack all the targets at once.

By the time he had cut off all the surging waves of fire, Song Xian's four figures had separated and occupied the four directions of east, west, south and north in the city.

Xu Yan had no choice but to go towards the figure occupying the southern corner closest to him.

No matter what kind of magical power or technique, its attack range is limited. The attack range of a first-grade technique will not exceed thirty feet at most.

Of course, this attack distance is defined according to the position of the caster, because after the spell is cast, it is controlled by the monk.

Therefore, to be more precise, the attack range of a first-grade spell will not exceed thirty feet from the caster.

Xu Yan strode towards the figure in the south. Seeing him chasing him, Song Xian immediately controlled his clone to escape. At the same time, the other three figures also started running, circling around the entire competition venue.

The two sides started to fight each other. Xu Yan finally caught the figure and slashed him with his sword. The fire barrier around him was like thin paper. Under the attack of the giant sword, the whole person was cut in half by the sword, but no blood gushed out. It just turned into flames and dissipated.

By the time Xu Yan caught the second split figure and cut it down with a sword, the spiritual power around him had been continuously consumed and was only a dozen points left.

Due to the lack of spiritual power, the huge body that emitted dazzling white light also began to fluctuate slightly.

"I give up." In the end, Xu Yan took the initiative to disperse the Tianguang Divine Body and chose to end the competition decently. He knew that the opponent must have seen through the weakness of his magical power, so he chose to avoid fighting.

He had already exhausted his spiritual power, while his opponent still had some strength left. He would have no chance of winning if he continued fighting. If he really waited until his spiritual power was exhausted and he lay on the ground like a dog and was carried away, he would lose face greatly.

Seeing his huge figure emitting white light, Song Xian also put away the only remaining clone. As he formed seals with his hands, the clone twisted and turned into red light and dissipated.

The two returned to the center of the venue, and the disciple from the Beast Taming Sect had also walked over.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I'm grateful for your kindness."

"How did Fellow Daoist Song see through the weakness of this technique of mine? I have never used this technique in a competition before."

Song Xian would not reveal the information about the Eye of True Observation: "The power of the low-level second-grade magic I used is already strong among Qi Refining cultivators, but the power of this magical power displayed by Fellow Daoist Xu is even more astonishing. It is difficult to resist its attack, and it will not last long."

Xu Yan nodded and said nothing more.

After the referee announced the end of the competition, the two left the venue and returned to the stands outside. Naturally, several disciples from the sect started to flatter them again.

Soon, the third competition began.

Kong Xiangyuan faced off against a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

The situation in this confrontation was completely one-sided. Although the cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining was quite strong, there was a clear gap between him and Kong Xiangyuan. He could only defend himself but had no power to fight back.

Kong Xiangyuan was still at ease, and won without much effort. Because of his ruthless nature in the previous matches, Kong Xiangyuan had left his opponents seriously injured.

Therefore, the opponent in this competition, realizing that he was no match for his opponent, quickly and decisively admitted defeat.

……

By the fourth day, only three people were left in the foundation-building selection competition.

They are Wang Feng, Song Xian and Kong Xiangyuan, disciples of Luoyun Sect.

The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect drew lots, and one person was given a bye, so the two of them would fight against each other.

In the end, Wang Feng got a bye and directly entered the next round of finals.

.........

Under the scorching sun, the two men stood facing each other in the competition venue. Kong Xiangyuan still had no expression on his face, and Song Xian did not question Zhong Wenyuan about being injured. The two were like strangers who had never met before.

After the referee announced the rules, the two men clasped their fists together, said nothing, and then each retreated twenty-five feet.

Following the order from the Beast Taming Sect disciple in the field, Song Xian immediately flew back, put his hands together, and a red light curtain condensed around his body, which was the Fire Screen Technique.

Zhong Wenyuan was suddenly defeated by Kong Xiangyuan's spiritual attack.

Faced with such unexpected spiritual means, Song Xian currently has no good way to counterattack. He can only use defensive techniques and be careful.

In addition, you should try to keep a distance from Kong Xiangyuan and prevent him from getting close. The two of you should keep a distance of at least twenty feet.

This was because Zhong Wenyuan was less than fifteen feet away from Kong Xiangyuan at that time and was hit by Kong Xiangyuan's spiritual attack.

Generally speaking, the range of spiritual attack will not be too far, at least much shorter than the range of magical attack.

The advantage of spiritual attack is that it is unexpected and can be launched instantly. It does not target the physical body, but goes straight into the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness to affect the spirit.

As for magic, it requires the gathering of spiritual energy, and it will take at least a few breaths to complete.

When Song Xian condensed the fire screen technique, Kong Xiangyuan also condensed a golden sphere and shot towards him.

The golden sphere grew larger and larger during the shooting process, gradually growing to a size of several feet.

When Song Xian retreated, the surging waves of fire had already condensed, and layers of fire waves surged over the sky.

When the surging waves of fire collided with the huge golden sphere, there was a loud bang and the golden sphere exploded.

It transformed into dense golden feather arrows and shot into the sea of ​​fire.

Each golden feather arrow is three feet in size and densely packed.

About forty or fifty feather arrows emitting dazzling golden light connected together, like a golden ocean, intertwined with the overwhelming waves of fire.

The successive waves of fire collided with the ocean of golden feather arrows, just like the collision of rivers.

The scene was spectacular.

The collision between the two was silent and one after another.

At the beginning, the dense golden feather arrows seemed to have the upper hand, and the golden light they emitted rushed into the surging waves of fire, and the flames were extinguished wherever they went.

However, as wave after wave of flames poured in, the light condensed from the many golden feather arrows gradually showed signs of decline. As the golden feather arrows were melted one by one by the flames, the golden light shrank smaller and smaller.

The two fought for a long time, and the golden light was gradually swallowed up by the flames.

During this process, Kong Xiangyuan did not make any move, but just stood there quietly watching the magic he cast being engulfed by flames.

The reason why he used this attack method was just to test the power of the surging fire wave. This was because before the competition, Kong Zhenqing specifically instructed him to pay more attention to Song Xian and not to be careless if he encountered him.

He also said that his mastery of fire magic had reached a superb level, especially the surging waves of fire, which were so powerful that even he himself could not exert such power. You must know that Kong Zhenqing was a true foundation-building cultivator and possessed fire spiritual roots, so he was familiar with many fire magic techniques.

The fire magic performed by a foundation-building cultivator was not as good as that of a Qi-refining cultivator. This made Kong Xiangyuan curious. He wanted to try the power of the surging fire wave himself to verify whether what Kong Zhenqing said was true.

He had witnessed the entire battle between Song Xian and Xu Yan. The white giant condensed by Xu Yan, holding a giant sword, twice extinguished the surging waves of fire cast by Song Xian. Therefore, in his opinion, the power of this magic was just mediocre, but he did not expect Kong Zhenqing to give it such a high evaluation.

So he made a special trip to try it today. What he used just now was also a second-grade low-grade gold-attribute magic, but it was no match for the surging waves of fire. It can be seen that what Kong Zhenqing said was true.

On the other side, seeing that the enemy did not move, Song Xian did not choose to attack rashly. He was still a little afraid of this man.

As the flames completely engulfed the golden feather arrow, Kong Xiangyuan finally took action and formed seals again.

Five golden rays of light shot up into the sky from between his palms, transforming into five dazzling sword lights that slashed down.

The golden sword light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

The golden sword light swept down, and the waves of fire melted like white snow in the scorching sun.

The fire wave had just collided with the golden feather arrow, and its power had been greatly reduced. After being swept by five sword lights, it was quickly wiped out.

Song Xian looked at the five golden sword lights, which looked like five golden dragon claws. It was as if a giant dragon was hidden in the clouds, stretching out its five golden claws to grab him.

For a moment, he was stunned, but the next moment, the five golden dragon claws twisted.

Song Xian suddenly woke up, and five golden sword lights had swept away the surging flames and slashed straight towards him.

Only then did he realize that he had been unknowingly affected by the illusion.

This technique is not only incredibly powerful, but also has the effect of deceiving people's eyes and ears. He only looked at it a few more times and fell into the illusion unconsciously. If he did not have the natural ability of the Eye of True Observation, he would probably still be immersed in the illusion.

Suddenly, he felt a wave of fear in his heart.

Seeing the sword light slashing down, he flew back, clasped his hands together, and muttered something. The fire-attributed spiritual power between heaven and earth gathered towards him madly, forming a vortex like a black hole above him.

The vortex expanded and became bottomless. A large amount of fire-attributed spiritual power poured into it, causing a raging fire to rise inside, like a huge burning sun.

As Song Xian finished his muttering, the vortex had turned into a huge red sphere, with a mottled surface and even covered with cracks.

The red sphere is more than twenty feet in size, and the energy contained in it is astonishing. Even if you don’t get close to it, you can intuitively feel the powerful fire power it contains.

This is because the space around it is rippling with layers of flame ripples visible to the naked eye. From a distance, it seems as if the space is distorted.

This is a second-grade intermediate fire spell, Yang Explosion, which is the strongest fire spell Song Xian has mastered so far.

Yang Explosion, as the name suggests, is to gather the fire attribute spiritual power into a ball, a huge energy body like the sun, and then explode.

.........

In the stands outside the stadium and in the high pavilion, Kong Zhenqing's face was gloomy as he watched the huge sphere condense. As a foundation-building cultivator with fire attributes, he certainly knew this technique, but he didn't expect that Song Xian, a Qi-refining cultivator, could master even a second-grade intermediate technique to such a level.

Just based on this spell, its power is almost the same as the fire spell he mastered.

Huo Yuan, who was sitting next to him, made no effort to conceal his surprise, saying, "This should be a second-grade intermediate level technique! It's incredible that this boy can master it. Fellow Daoist Kong, I'm afraid your nephew is in trouble."

"It's just a second-grade intermediate magic, it's no big deal." Kong Zhenqing replied coldly with an expressionless face.

Huo Yuan tilted his head to look at him, smiled and said nothing.

In the competition arena, Kong Xiangyuan's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at the huge red sphere that had condensed into shape. Although he did not understand fire magic and did not know what level of magic it was, he could sense the power of this magic.

It was visible from the ripples of flames surrounding the sphere. Even from a distance of dozens of feet, he could feel an extremely strong and hot breath, as if the air was burning.

Five golden sword lights slashed down, but before they touched the huge red sphere, their speed slowed down, as if there was an invisible air barrier next to the red sphere.

As the sword light got closer to the sphere, its speed became slower and slower. In the end, it was visibly distorted to the naked eye.

The ripples of flames around the red sphere had already ignited a raging flame.

With a slight sound, cracks appeared on the mottled shell of the red sphere. As the cracks grew larger, it seemed as if a dazzling red light was emanating from inside.

Immediately afterwards, there was a huge explosion, and the red sphere burst open. The flames visible to the naked eye spread out in circles like ripples. Wherever it passed, raging flames immediately rose up. Looking around, the area of ​​dozens of feet in radius turned into a sea of ​​fire.

At the same time, the exploding red sphere turned into countless fireballs and shot towards Kong Xiangyuan.

Dense fireballs covered the sky and shot towards the five sword lights. In an instant, the whole world seemed to be burned through by flames.

The five dazzling sword lights were quickly distorted and melted by the dense fireballs that followed one after another.

The overwhelming fireball was like a blazing mountain. After melting the sword light, it smashed towards Kong Xiangyuan like a mountain falling down.

.........

Outside the arena, exclamations rang out one after another. At this moment, at least half of the space in the competition venue was covered by flames.

From an external perspective, the entire competition venue was completely transformed into a sea of ​​fire, and no one could see the details inside.

The monks near the edge of the competition venue could even feel the heat of the flames coming towards them.

This was the first time that the crowd had seen such a powerful spell, and they all exclaimed in surprise.

On the north side of the stands, several Luoyun Sect disciples sat upright, watching the field turn into a sea of ​​fire. They all stared with wide eyes, looking incredulous.

"What kind of magic is this? How can it be so powerful?" A disciple of Luoyun Sect swallowed and asked in a low voice.

"I'm afraid it must be at least a mid-level second-grade spell to have such powerful power. The one Song Xian used before was a low-level second-grade fire spell called Fire Wave Surge. The power of this spell is obviously a level higher than Fire Wave Surge." Another Luoyun Sect disciple said with an expression of shock that could not be concealed.

"This is a second-grade intermediate technique, Yang Explosion. I didn't expect that Song Xian could master this technique to this level." One of the older Luoyun Sect cultivators frowned and looked at Wang Feng.

His face was as gloomy as water. Although he still maintained a calm expression, his crossed and clenched hands betrayed his inner unrest.

.........

There were also several members of the Kong family sitting in the southern stands.

Looking at the sea of ​​fire in the venue, everyone showed a look of shock, only Kong Xiangyun was shouting.

"What kind of magic is this? How can it be so powerful? How can he, a Qi Refining cultivator, master such a powerful magic?"
