Battle of the Roads

Chapter 153
When Fang Zhe walked off the ring, many of the foundation-building disciples around looked at Fang Zhe as if they were seeing monsters. Even Leng Chen, Situ Qian, and Murong Nan, the three Dzogchen monks of the foundation-building stage, looked at Fang Zhe. , his eyes couldn't help showing a trace of fear!
With their cultivation base, it is naturally possible to defeat a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk, but even they are not confident that they can defeat Fang Zhe so easily with just one sword.

"It seems that the Zongmen Grand Competition this time is not just a one-man show for the three of us!" Situ Qian turned around and said this to Leng Chen and Murong Nan.

Murong Nan on the side also said, "This sword repair is indeed the same as in the rumors, and his combat power is extremely powerful!"

Leng Chen said: "That's true, but have you noticed, this junior brother Fang's flying sword is certainly sharp, but have you ever seen him use some powerful defensive supernatural powers?"

Hearing what Leng Chen said, Situ Qian said, "Oh, Senior Brother Leng means that Junior Brother Fang's attack is powerful, but he doesn't have any powerful defensive powers?"

Leng Chen smiled and said nothing!
Leng Chen has been paying attention to Fang Zhe's matches for several times. He found that in the previous matches, Fang Zhe almost always relied on extremely powerful attacking powers to defeat his opponents, and when facing opponents' attacks, he often focused on dodging. , no matter how bad it is, just use the flying sword to attack forcibly, and use offense instead of defense!
This shows what?It shows that Fang Zhe's strength is uneven. He relies on swords to cultivate supernatural powers. Although a flying sword is extremely sharp, his supernatural powers in other aspects are very ordinary. If he meets this person at that time, he will definitely not be able to Blindly focusing on his sword repair supernatural powers for defense will not work.

Because of Fang Zhe's incomparably powerful sword repair supernatural powers, Leng Chen didn't have the confidence to fully take over.

Leng Chen's guess is not wrong. Fang Zhe is actually quite common except for his powerful attack ability. In terms of defense, he relies more on body skills to dodge. If he can't dodge, he can only use spiritual weapons to resist hard. Although the spirit weapon Fulongshield is not bad, it is still nothing compared to his huge sword repair supernatural power.

If Fang Zhe didn't have the supernatural powers of sword cultivation, then his strength in all aspects is relatively balanced among the monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment. He has a high-grade spiritual weapon flying sword, a middle-grade defensive spiritual weapon, and magic element sword art for attack. With the Lixing Sword, dodge and sneak attack are also matched with Hundred Shadow Transformation and Yufeng Art, and melee combat can directly use the Eagle Claw.

With such a set of cooperation, Fang Zhe is already a top-notch monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and has been able to defeat some weaker monks in the late stage of foundation establishment with these supernatural powers.

However, compared with his supernatural powers of sword cultivation, to be precise, the first five forms of Jingyuan Sword Art, these supernatural powers are far, far worse.

In such a comparison, other aspects besides sword cultivation supernatural powers naturally became Fang Zhe's shortcomings, weaknesses in the eyes of others.

After Fang Zhe's match, the round of [-] was still going on, but unlike Fang Zhe's clean handling of opponents, the others' matches generally took longer.

Except for Fang Zhe, the monks who can make it to the top [-] are all monks above the late stage of foundation establishment, and there are three Dzogchen monks in the foundation stage and Shen Peizi, who are close to the foundation stage. There are high and low strengths, but it won't be said that there is no power to resist in a fight, so the battle is relatively stalemate.

And in the subsequent competition, everyone found a big dark horse again!

That is Lu Potian!

Previously, Lu Potian had always concealed his true cultivation, showing it to others in the late stage of foundation establishment, and others thought he was just a mutant spiritual root monk.

But in the round of [-], Lu Potian showed his Dzogchen cultivation base in the foundation establishment period, and his cultivation base seemed to be much higher than Leng Chen and others, which caused a sensation.

Because others know that Lu Potian has only been practicing in Qingjianmen for more than ten years. It has surprised many people to be able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation establishment, but now he has shown the cultivation base of Dzogchen in the foundation establishment stage.

Being able to raise his cultivation level to the foundation-building stage Dzogchen in just over a dozen years cannot be explained by any adventure. There is only one reason why his cultivation base is so fast, and that is that his cultivation aptitude is better than that of the mutant spiritual root. Even better.

And what is the qualification that is better than the mutant spirit root?
That can only be called the proud son of heaven, the rare heavenly spirit root in a thousand years!
"It turned out to be a cultivator with Tianlinggen!"

"I didn't expect that not only the legendary sword cultivator appeared in this Zongmen Dabi, but also a cultivator with Tianlinggen appeared!"

Fang Zhe didn't care about the sensation caused by Lu Potian. He recognized Lu Potian in the previous competition. Although he only met Lu Potian in Luoxian City, he knew Lu Potian at that time. Tian Nai is a cultivator with Tianlinggen.

This Lu Potian concealed his aptitude and cultivation, obviously the purpose is the same as his own, it is to be able to go further in the Zongmen Grand Competition!

However, after reaching the top sixteen, the opponents are generally stronger. It is no longer easy for Lu Potian to continue to conceal his true strength, so he will expose his true cultivation.

And after his cultivation base is exposed, it is very easy for others to guess his aptitude of Tianlinggen!

Following the appearance of Fang Zhe, a sword cultivator, another genius with Tianlinggen appeared, which excited a group of Qingjianmen monks, especially those monks in the alchemy stage.

Not to mention Fang Zhe, the sword cultivator. Being able to meet a real sword cultivator is an opportunity that many old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage have not had in the past ten thousand years.

Cultivator Tianlinggen is also a rare genius in a thousand years. Qingjianmen has obtained such a cultivator of Tianlinggen, basically he has already booked a monk at the alchemy stage, and in the future, this Lu Potian will even have a certain chance to attack Nascent Soul Expect.

Fang Zhe, Murong Nan and others rushed to the top three, and even the No.1 monks paid attention to Lu Potian's cultivation and aptitude, but to them, the cultivation and aptitude were nothing, no matter how good the aptitude was, It is useless in the competition. As for the cultivation base, no matter how high it is, it will reach the peak of Dzogchen in the foundation building period.

If the Zongmen Grand Competition is based on aptitude and cultivation, they don't need to compete with real swords and guns, and they can just report their cultivation and aptitude directly.

What really determines the final ranking of the Zongmen Grand Competition is the combat effectiveness of the monks!
Fang Zhe's example is the most obvious. In terms of cultivation base, he is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and he is also the kind who has just advanced to the middle stage of foundation establishment. In terms of his cultivation base, it is not enough to enter the top fifty.

However, Fang Zhe made it to the top eight by relying on his incomparably powerful sword cultivating supernatural powers!
Therefore, what they are concerned about is not Lu Potian's aptitude and cultivation, but his supernatural powers.

However, although this Lu Potian exposed his cultivation base, his supernatural powers were not exposed much. When facing the enemy, he still used a powerful spell to defeat the opponent, and he didn't even use a spiritual weapon.

With the end of the top sixteen, the top eight came out!
And the next day, there was another quarter-final match. This time, Fang Zhe's opponent was also a late-stage foundation-building monk. He defeated his opponent and successfully advanced to the semi-finals without spending too much effort.

And at this time, the top four were all produced, namely Fang Zhe, Leng Chen, Murong Nan, and Lu Potian!

As for the others, they were all eliminated one by one, even Situ Qian, who was in the Dzogchen foundation stage, was no exception. He met Murong Nan, who was also in the Dzogchen foundation stage in the quarterfinals. The battle by the others was even more intense. The two fought for nearly a quarter of an hour. Finally, Murong Nan defeated Situ Qian and obtained the quota for advancement.

As for Jin Lingfeng's monks, Shen Peizi met Leng Chen in the quarter-finals. With his cultivation base and supernatural powers against Leng Chen, the odds of winning were really slim, so failure was inevitable.

As for Lin Yuluo, she had already lost in the round of sixteen. So far, among Jin Lingfeng's many participating monks, only Fang Zhe has entered the top four.

It is worth noting that in the semi-finals, Leng Chen and Lu Potian are both Mu Lingfeng monks, occupying half of the places. From this, it can be seen that Mu Lingfeng is worthy of being the most powerful branch of the Qingjianmen.

It is also worth noting that, except for Fang Zhe in the semi-finals, the other three are Dzogchen monks at the foundation stage, which means that in the subsequent competitions, 100% of Fang Zhe's opponents are Dzogchen monks at the foundation stage monk!
This has to make many people who follow Fang Zhe worry. They know that Fang Zhe is very strong, but Fang Zhe's cultivation base is too low compared with the other three, almost two small realms behind, so even if Fang Zhe Has the supernatural power of sword repair, but can he still defeat his opponent?
Not to mention that other people are worried, in fact, even Fang Zhe himself is not very sure. Although his sword repair supernatural power is powerful, it needs cultivation to support it to exert its power.

If his cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation establishment, then Fang Zhe is confident that he can defeat any of the three of them, but his cultivation is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and whether he can defeat the Dzogchen opponent in the foundation establishment stage at that time? It's hard to say!
