Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 144 Fighting to the Death
"The second match of the fifth day of the Diyuan Finals, Xu Boyang of Yuchuan Fengqing Town wins!"

When the chief nuclear officer Xun Dantai announced his victory, Xu Boyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, put away his magic sword, and did not dare to delay. He went back to heal his wounds. After bowing to the chief nuclear officers, he finally glanced at Ding Tianshi.

Ding Tianshi smiled, with a hint of concern in his eyes, and said with his spiritual consciousness:

"You have another competition tomorrow, but your opponent isn't strong. Go back and take the elixir and rest well. You should be able to recover to at least 80% of your normal strength. Go now!"

Xu Boyang nodded silently, glanced at Shen Zhaolin, Zeng Shuming and others, and then went back to the dormitory.

His entire body was buffeted by the spiritual power generated by Zhao Jiuchang's spiritual energy [The Yellow Clay Pot], and his entire body felt like it was falling apart. His breathing became disordered, and as soon as he returned to his room, he immediately began to take pills to regulate his breathing.

With Shen Zhaolin's four consecutive victories and Zhao Jiuchang's loss to Xu Boyang, the situation in Group A has quietly changed:

Shen Zhaolin was far ahead with an impressive record of 12 points accumulated from four wins. Zhao Jiuchang with two wins and two losses and Xu Boyang with two wins both ranked second with 6 points. Zeng Shuming and Zhou Fuhai both ranked third with one win and two losses.

The worst off was Lu Yangxian, who lost all four games and didn't get a single point.

After today's competition, decisive changes have occurred in the second, third and fourth places of the local Yuan. Tomorrow will be the day to decide the winner and determine life and death.

In Group 2, Kong Zhuoli faced Gu Shengping.

These two brothers, one from Luolin Town, Yuchuan, and the other from Fuxi Town, Nanhuai, lost their previous two games to their opponents Fei Wenyu and Yan Qingshang respectively.

After two consecutive defeats without a single point, they were really miserable today. They all smiled awkwardly at each other. Later, they had a polite competition and finally shook hands and made peace. They each got a point and were eliminated with a record of two losses and one draw. At least they did not end up with zero points, which meant they both regained some face.

At this moment, Yan Qingshang and Fei Wenyu in Group 2 have the same record, both with two wins. Tomorrow will be the final showdown between the two, and one match will decide the winner!

The final decision will determine who will be ranked first among the six Ding and two Jia of the Earth Yuan!
Group Three: Wen Zaixian vs. Wang Yunchang.

Today's top three group unexpectedly produced an upset. Wang Yunchang lost two games in a row and was eliminated. No one knew the pain in his heart. As soon as he came on the court, he regarded the back as a cliff, with no way to retreat, and fought back desperately. Because of his father's death in the past two years, he learned from his mistakes and worked hard, and unexpectedly burst out with amazing potential. Wen Zaixian was not paying attention for a moment, and was attacked by him and accidentally fell out of the formation.

As of now, in the top three group, except for Ding Xuelian who won two games in a row and scored six points, Wen Zaixian had one win and one loss, and Wang Yunchang and Xu Yongqing both had one win and two losses, with three points.

Wen Zaixian's unexpected defeat made him very passive in the final competition tomorrow. He could only win and not draw. Moreover, if he won, his record would be the same as Ding Xuelian, and he would need to fight her again to win the championship.

On the other hand, Ding Xuelian is sure to win. It would be best if he can win. If it is difficult to win, he can just delay time and draw with him. Then he can get the first place in the top three of the six Dings in Diyuan with a record of two wins and one draw and seven points.

Group 4A:
Fang Zhinan versus Li Liuye.

Fang Zhinan learned that Xu Boqing had won two consecutive games and knew that he could not lose this battle. Fortunately, as he wished, after a fierce battle, he finally defeated the young master of the Li family in Changyang Town.

The current situation of Group 4 is the same as that of Group 2. Wen Boqing and Fang Zhinan both won both games, while Li Liuye and Ji Xinzhu were both eliminated.

Tomorrow's top four group can be regarded as an internal fight in Yuchuan. The young lady of the Wen family in Hanguang Town will face the young master of Qingxuan Town. One of them will eventually win the honor of being the first in the top four of the Diyuan Six Dings!
Li Liuye from Changyang Town, Cangwu County left the stage sadly. The number of cultivators from Cangwu County who made it to the Diyuan finals was originally small, only three. However, it was better than Yunfu County, with one more person, but the results were very different.

Although Xu Yongqing from Shangning Town in Yunfu County was eliminated, Shen Zhaolin from Yexia Town alone shone brightly, overshadowing all the participating monks.

However, with the withdrawal of Li Liuye from Changyang Town and Ji Xinzhu from Baishui Town in this round, only Zhou Fuhai from Cangwu City is left to survive. Although there is still a glimmer of hope based on his current record, his next opponents are all strong ones, and it is really hard to predict who will win or lose.

Because there are six people participating in the first and second classes of the Diyuan Six Ding, the competition situation is more complicated than that of the second, third and fourth classes. In addition, the first class has three places, which occupies half of the Diyuan Six Ding.

The first place can be regarded as a six-to-three competition, and three people will be eliminated in the end. Although it looks slightly better than the second, third and fourth places where four people advance to one, in fact, it is not easy for anyone to enter the top six of the first place in the local area, and the difficulty is much greater than that of the second, third and fourth places.

At present, Shen Zhaolin has won all four games and is far ahead. Zhou Fuhai's record is the same as Zeng Shuming's, with one win and two losses. Even if they win the last two games, they will only have three wins and two losses and nine points. It can be said that there is no chance of them getting the first place in the six Ding and one Jia of Diyuan.

At most they can compete for second place, but the prerequisite is that Xu Boyang must not win in the next three games and Zhao Jiuchang must not win in the last game. Otherwise, Xu Boyang only needs to win two games, and the second place in the first class will be out of his reach.

Moreover, tomorrow Zeng Shuming and Zhou Fuhai will face off. This competition is crucial. Whoever loses just one more game in this life-and-death battle will basically have no hope of being in the top three and will have to go home.

Tomorrow is the sixth day of the Diyuan Class 1 competition:

In the morning, Zeng Shuming played against Zhou Fuhai, and in the afternoon, Xu Boyang played against Lu Yangxian.

Although Zeng Shuming became a member of another family after taking the "Forget Worry Pill", he was still a descendant of the Xu family. When the competition started in the morning, Xu Boyang took the time to use his spiritual sense to observe their competition while recovering from his injuries.

In this competition, both of them knew that if they lost again they would fall into the abyss, so they both fought without reservation and used all their strength, especially Zhou Fuhai, whose eyes were red and he had gone crazy.

The two men fought a fierce battle that was so fierce that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, with blood flying everywhere. However, they still refused to stop. It was a fight for their lives and they would not stop until one of them died. This frightened the chief nuclear officer Yu Qingmei so much that she kept scolding them.

This female cultivator from Nanhuai who was in the foundation-building stage and wore a green skirt rarely spoke and was quite mysterious. After hearing Pei Yansu's description of her family situation, Chen Baochong realized that she was a descendant of a newly rising feathered Taoist family in Nanhuai.

Because the Nanhuai Immortal Sect has the important position of guarding Li Wu, it was restricted by the Immortal several decades ago. The family members under its jurisdiction are not allowed to leave the station at will unless it is an important matter, and they are on guard against the invasion of Nanwu. Therefore, people from Nanhuai rarely move around the three counties of Qingshen, and most of them only come and go within the county.

As a result, the cultivators from the other three sects knew little about this immortal cultivation sect stationed in the south, and only knew that Nanhuai's weapon refining technique was world-famous.

Zeng Shuming and Zhou Fuhai fought more and more bravely. Both sides were blood-thirsty and used killing moves on each other, each one more brutal than the last. Yu Qingmei knew that if they continued like this, someone would be killed, so she had to step down to stop them.

She clasped her hands together, and a sparkling emerald water splashed out of her hands, transforming into a water curtain that fell from the sky. It soon became a water wall separating the two of them, and she said coldly:
"The competition will be suspended for a moment. You two should calm down and the time will be extended."

This wall of water arrived in an instant, catching the two off guard, and their offensive came to an abrupt halt. Hearing the chief nuclear officer call for a halt, they had no choice but to stop in disappointment, their chests heaving as they both sat cross-legged to meditate and recover.

A moment later, the fight started again. Without wanting to pause the time, the two men attacked even more fiercely. After a few rounds, each of them was covered in blood, but they both gritted their teeth and persisted. No one was afraid to retreat.

Yu Qingmei frowned, her round face sullen, and she once again created a water curtain to stop the fight, saying in a cold voice:

"The original purpose of the Taihe Jingwu Banquet is to make full use of everything and everyone's talents. We are all from the same sect, so why fight to the death? Today's competition violates the original purpose of the event and can no longer be held. The match between you two is considered a draw!"

Zhou Fuhai and Zeng Shuming were shocked and said in unison: "Absolutely not!" "Why not?"

Yu Qingmei raised her eyebrows and said coldly,
"As the chief examiner of the Taihe Jingwu Banquet, I have the authority to stop my fellow disciples from fighting each other. The two of you are equally strong, and neither of you can suppress the other. If we continue fighting, there will be casualties. A draw is reasonable!"

Zhou Fuhai said with a bitter face, "Chief Nuclear Officer, it's inevitable for cultivators like us to get injured during competition. Besides, as long as we survive, injuries during the competition don't count as violations. We still have time left. Chief Nuclear Officer, isn't this a hasty decision?"

A draw only resulted in one point, which was not what either of them wanted. To secure a glimmer of hope, Zeng Shuming had no choice but to agree. However, he usually did not like to communicate, so he said:
"Chief Nuclear Officer, this is correct."

Yu Qingmei heard the two people pleading desperately, glanced at the chief nuclear officers above her, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Alright! Since both of you are unwilling to accept the defeat, I will offer a compromise. This water curtain of mine is called 'Zhexi Curtain,' a foundation-building technique. We have three quarters of a second left. You two will each attack through the water curtain. Whoever can hit the other three times will be the winner. How about that?"

The chief review officer spoke, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was no choice. If they didn't want to get only one point, they had to agree.

As soon as Yu Qingmei said this, the cultivators watching from the sky immediately became curious. Pei Yansu smiled slightly:
"This Junior Sister Yu is quite courageous, very interesting!"

The two contestants stood on either side of the water curtain. Zeng Shuming looked at the gurgling clear water of the water curtain, which instantly split the light array into two, just like a mountain spring flowing through a transparent stone wall. He could vaguely see the other person's figure. He raised the Ningyuan sword "Wenli" in one hand and pinched the "Fireball Technique" in his other hand, paying attention secretly and cautiously.

At this time, the two men were covered in blood and had fought to exhaustion. This could be considered a literary fight, and it was also a way to solve the problem. The two men stared at the shadow on the water curtain, taking quiet steps, thinking about how to defeat the enemy.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Zhou Fuhai lost his patience and took the lead in attacking by using a "Flying Sword Technique". This "Flying Sword Technique" was actually exactly the same as the "Flying Sword Talisman" of the Condensation Period talisman, except that the talisman maker sealed the technique in the talisman.

At this point in the battle, the three talismans that could be used in the competition had already been used up by the two of them. Now they could only rely on magic weapons and spells to compete.

Yu Qingmei's intention was obvious. She intended to use the "Zhexi Curtain" to separate the two of them and prevent close combat. Otherwise, if the fight continued like this, someone might really be killed.

Zeng Shuming saw three flying swords breaking through the water and rushing towards him. He quickly dodged and turned around to wield the long sword "Wenli" in the air, breaking through the air and rushing towards the water curtain, hitting "Ding Lanzhu" who was trying to launch a sneak attack by Zhou Fuhai!
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

The two Condensing Yuan instruments fought against each other in the air, sparks flying everywhere. The six beads retreated one by one after another and disappeared into the water curtain.

"Oh!"

Splashes of water!

"Ding Lanzhu" broke out of the water again, but it was divided into six parts, up, down, left and right, each heading in a different direction, hitting Zeng Shuming!

Zeng Shuming was startled, and the "Fireball Technique" in his hand rose instantly. He blocked the three blue beads with three fireballs in a row. He quickly dodged two of them, but was still unable to dodge and was hit by the last one!
Yu Qingmei said coldly: "Once!"

"Whoosh!"

Fortunately, Zhou Fuhai had mastered the control over Ding Lanzhu to perfection, and he was able to retreat immediately without causing any harm. Zeng Shuming took two steps back, his face gloomy, his teeth clenched, and he attacked again!
Originally, in terms of cultivation strength, Zeng Shuming was slightly better than Zhou Fuhai. Unfortunately, like Xu Boyang, he had been practicing swordsmanship since childhood, so his magic and talismans were weaker.

Now that the fight had reached this point, with the water curtain in the middle, it became a long-range fight. Although Zeng Shuming had practiced the "flying sword technique", this gave Zhou Fuhai an opportunity to take advantage of.

The two fought back and forth for several rounds. Zeng Shuming suffered a loss and was obviously unable to resist. In just two moments, he had been hit twice by Zhou Fuhai, while he had only hit him once. The situation was precarious. Seeing this, Xu Boyang in the room couldn't help but feel anxious for him.

Xu Boyang could actually use the [Demon Lord's Divine Consciousness] to disrupt Zhou Fuhai's sea of ​​consciousness and help Zeng Shuming cheat, but this idea only appeared in his mind for a moment and then completely faded away.

Xu Boyang knew that this was a double-edged sword!

First of all, from a moral point of view, putting aside right and wrong, good and evil, love and hate, and closeness and distance, everyone's life choices are different. When facing such a major turning point, Xu Boyang does not want to interfere too much with others for no reason. He does not want to meddle in other people's affairs.

And considering his own safety, including Fei Wenyu, Xu Boyang only gave him part of the opponent's information.

Although he could see the desire in Zeng Shuming's eyes, he had to face the reality after all. From the perspective of his own family, there were pros and cons for Zeng Shuming to join the Six Dings of the Earth Yuan. After all, he had completely forgotten his blood identity. At this moment, he was fighting for the Zeng family of Tianji Town.

Once Zeng Shuming enters the branch of the Immortal Sect as one of the Six Dings of the Earth Yuan, with his talent, he may be able to enter the main line of the Immortal Sect in the future. Then he will have to change his surname again to become a true cultivator of the main line of the Immortal Sect.

As such, his hope of returning to his family in the future will be slim.

Although the Xu family has always hoped that one day they would allow him to return to his roots, but the wish is a wish and the reality is reality. Xu Boyang knows very well that his ability is limited. No matter how much he does, it will be of no avail before he can crack the "Forget Worry Pill" and restore Zeng Shuming's past memories.

Therefore, Xu Boyang decided to stand aside and leave his fate to himself.

Time ticked by, and the situation on the field remained tense. As Zeng Shuming dodged for the last time, he suddenly heard Yu Qingmei shout:
"Time's up! Draw!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Their respective magic weapons fell onto the light array, and the two men collapsed to the ground, with only the sound of heavy gasping for breath being heard.

The first draw occurred in the first group of Diyuan, and the situation became more and more confusing. Zeng Shuming and Zhou Fuhai both had one win, one draw and two losses, with four points, temporarily tied for third place.

The two will each have a match tomorrow. Theoretically, they still have hope of advancing, although there is only a slight possibility.

When Xu Boyang stepped onto the light array in the afternoon, he met the chief nuclear officer Chen Baochong who happened to be landing. The two smiled at each other, bowed, and did not say a word. When they turned around, they saw Lu Yangxian floating down.

Lu Yangxian looked at Xu Boyang with a grin, his expression somewhat dejected. He turned to Chen Baochong and said:

"Your Excellency, Chief Nuclear Officer, there's no need to compete anymore. I admit defeat in this fight!"
