One person: Longhushan security guard, stopped the Ten Elders until they cried!

The next day. The arena.

"It's our turn, shall we begin? Master Wang."

Zhuge Qing stood with his arms crossed, exuding elegance.

Across from him, Wang Ye slumped his shoulders, his eyes seemingly perpetually closed.

"Come on, come on..."

This duel between 'Tai Chi Long Fist' and 'Wuhou Qimen' instantly captured everyone's attention!

Over the past two days, Zhuge Qing, who had been thrown off the mountain by security guards, had already redeemed himself with his superior skills.

"Master Wang's cultivation is profound, I admire him greatly. It's a pity he always seems so unmotivated..."

Wang Ye yawned and staggered forward two steps.

"Lack of motivation...that's true..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly sprang up!

"That depends on who you're dealing with!"

Swish-!

Wang Ye swung his right arm in a wide arc like a whip, creating a loud bang in the air!

Zhuge Qing didn't expect his opponent to start with zero frames. Just as he tilted his head to the left, another arm came slapping down!

'He's trying to plant his palm strikes around me... If I get surrounded, things will get bad!'

Zhuge Qing did not linger in battle and immediately retreated!

Bayonet fighting is something only reckless people do...

I am a warlock!

"Stick!"

Halfway back, Wang Ye clearly didn't touch him, but a huge pulling force suddenly pulled him back!

"Come back!"

Zhuge Qing tilted his body and deliberately rammed his face into Wang Ye's fist!

'Tai Chi Entanglement! Oh no—'

【艮字·崑仑】

boom!

Zhuge Qing defied the laws of physics and remained stationary in place.

He didn't even flinch when Wang Ye punched him in the face.

A layer of earthy yellow light emanated from him.

Wang Ye took a half step back and shook his wrist.

"Master Wang," Zhuge Qing said calmly, "you don't really think you can defeat me before the spell is cast, just because you're skilled in Tai Chi, do you?"

Having said that, he flung his hand away!

【Kan Character - Water Bomb!】

clap clap clap!

Moisture in the air condenses into projectiles and shoots out!

Wang Ye retreated all the way back, going more than ten meters away!

A chorus of sighs erupted from the stands.

"It's over... With the distance widened, Daoist Wang is in grave danger!"

"Big Nose is doomed to lose, luckily I bet on Zhuge Liang..."

Before he could finish speaking, a gaze as sharp as a venomous snake fixed his eyes on him!

The man was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth.

"The Celestial Master's Mansion on Mount Longhu is a sacred place; gambling is strictly prohibited!"

This statement once kept half of the contestants on Longhu Mountain awake at night...

The night before last, Canglong and the others who ran the betting operation were all thrown down the mountain!

Just then, the black-uniformed figure that struck fear into everyone's heart approached.

"I need my ticket checked."

"Here...here!"

"No problem with the tickets."

tao tao…

Only after that figure had disappeared into the distance did the man finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Two things you absolutely must not mess with in Longhu Mountain—

Zhang Zhiwei, the Old Celestial Master.

Security guard Zhou Yan!

……

Zhou Yan continued walking with his notebook in hand.

Last night's Quanxing demon has only one unmarked member left, and it's not far ahead.

But he couldn't make it too obvious... he still had to approach them one by one.

trouble.

"Brother Zhou! I won!"

Behind her, Lu Linglong jogged up and handed her an ice cream.

"Here you go~"

Zhou Yan accepted it with a smile.

"Brother Zhou, we're having a bonfire barbecue on the back hill tonight... do you want to join us?"

"I need to patrol the mountain."

"Okay..." Lu Linglong secretly swallowed as she recalled someone's cooking last time.

Suddenly, she saw the two people passionately arguing on stage, and an idea struck her.

"Brother Zhou! Guess who will win?"

Zhou Yan straightened his hat without hesitation:

"The King."

Lu Linglong wrinkled her nose: "Impossible! Even Master Wang can't get close, he's guaranteed to lose!"

She turned around, hands on her hips, and said:

"If I guessed right, you'll come with me to the bonfire party!"

Zhou Yan chuckled lightly, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

-----------------

【Kun Character - Earth River Chariot!】

During their conversation, Wang Ye stumbled!

Immediately afterwards, palm-sized rocks rained down from the sky!

Despite his best efforts to dodge, Wang Ye's cheek was still cut by a rock.

"Thank you for showing mercy." Wang Ye wiped away the blood. "Otherwise, I would have called an ambulance by now."

Zhuge Qing halted his offensive:

"It's just a friendly sparring match; we're not risking our lives for each other."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly turned cold:

"But Master Wang still refuses to take it seriously... isn't that incredibly disrespectful!"

"Huh?" Wang Ye scratched his head.

Zhuge Qing stared at him.

"You're actually a warlock too."

"I can tell."

A commotion broke out in the audience!

Lu Linglong was so anxious she jumped up and down – press your advantage! Why do you have to start chatting while we're fighting!

Zhou Yan stood aside, smiling without saying a word.

The real excitement of this match is just beginning.

Wang Ye pulled his hand out of his sleeve and rubbed his nose.

"What makes you say that?"

"Your footwork."

Zhuge Qing pointed to the arena floor—

"From beginning to end, every step you take is precisely on the nine palace positions."

Enter at Xun position, turn at Kan position, exit at Gen position...

The phrase "seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune" has been taken to its extreme under your feet...

"Master Wang, admit it, you're a sorcerer too!"

The entire room fell silent.

Wang Ye stared at him, the laziness and mockery on his face gradually disappearing.

The wind blew across the arena, lifting the hem of his wrinkled Taoist robe.

"...Alright then."

He sighed, as if he had finally stopped pretending and relaxed.

"Zhuge Qing, have you ever been defeated?"

"I mean the kind of utter defeat that completely overturns the first half of your life."

His tone was unusually serious.

"I didn't mean to insult you... but Zhuge Qing—"

"Let's go back."

"This is the best option for you right now."

Zhuge Qing's smile froze.

The audience erupted in chaos.

"Playing tricks! Does he think he can scare away the disciples of the Wuhou School like this?"

Lu Linglong raised her little hand: "Zhuge Qing! Don't listen to his nonsense, beat him up!"

-----------------

On the stage.

Zhuge Qing did not answer.

He simply closed his eyes, and a beam of light shot into the sky!

Qimen Manifestation Techniques!

Eight Gates.

Nine stars.

The three plates of Heaven, Earth, and Man rotate simultaneously...

"Hey, Lao Qing, stop!"

Wang Ye reached out to stop him, but it was too late.

On the other side, Zhuge Qing's face turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

"puff--!"

All patterns point to the same result.

Moths to the fire!

This was the most hopeless hexagram he had ever drawn since he began studying Qimen Dunjia.

My hand trembled slightly.

However, what Wang Ye received was not the "admission of defeat" he had imagined—

Zhuge Qing wiped away the bloodstains and raised his hand to form a hand seal!

【Separation - Kagerou!】

Without another word, he hurled a Fireball straight at him!

Wang Ye shook his head and sighed.

【The character "离" (li) is associated with the blazing sun.

boom--!

Centered on him, flames twice as powerful as those of Zhuge Qing erupted forth!

The two flames clashed and instantly rolled back!

Zhuge Qing quickly moved to the Kan position.

【Kan Character - Water Curtain!】

Splash! The water suddenly gathered and extinguished the flames that were attacking them.

On the other side, Wang Ye remained motionless, forming a hand seal on the spot:

【The character "坎" (Kan) forms a waterspout!】

The water curtain surrounding Zhuge Qing suddenly went out of control!

The gentle flow of water twisted and turned into a tornado, and the violent tearing force lifted him up from the ground!

Boom!

Zhuge Qing crashed heavily to the ground, his face filled with horror!

"Holy crap! This Taoist priest is a sorcerer!"

"But Zhuge Liang's lineage is already the progenitor of sorcerers... how could this be..."

Lu Linglong looked at Zhou Yan beside her in surprise.

Brother Zhou...he saw through it all along?

However, compared to the onlookers...

Zhuge Qing was more than ten thousand times shocked!

"This...how is this possible..."

Because he stepped away from the fire position, he was countered by fire-based magic from his opponent, who was positioned in the wood position...

Moving to the "Kan Water" position, it was once again restrained by the opponent!

And Wang Ye, from beginning to end, did not move a single step!

Zhuge Qing, distraught, rushed towards the king.

Get closer...

Closer! Let's see how he did it!

Just as he was about to touch the hem of the other's clothes, Wang Ye...

Disappeared.

Zhuge Qing turned around in surprise, and Wang Ye had already appeared ten meters behind him.

His right hand was outstretched, with a little blood on his fingertips.

A touch from a distance!

Zhuge Qing sensed something and looked down.

A bloodstain appeared out of nowhere on my Tanzhong acupoint!

There was a deathly silence in the audience.

Lu Linglong covered her mouth, incredulous.

Just a moment ago...did Daoist Wang Ye teleport?

The king also turned around.

His eyes, though still languid beneath the dark circles, were so sharp they were almost impossible to look directly at!

"Is that enough?"

Zhuge Qing clenched his fists, making a final struggle:

【Kun character · Earth River Chariot...】

【Kun Character · Earth River Chariot】

Boom!

The arena rumbled loudly, and two mounds rose from the ground!

However, the mound beneath Wang Ye's feet was three zhang high, resembling a throne made of piled stones.

He looked down at Zhuge Qing on the small hill and said in a deep voice:

"Do you understand now?"

"Unlike other sorcerers who rely on directions to find good or bad fortune."

He bent down, picked up a pebble, and placed it in his palm.

"Within this realm of Qimen Dunjia, I am fortune and misfortune, I am direction!"

"I decide the timing, the spatial arrangement, and the interactions of the four elements..."

He let go and let the pebble fall.

"From now on, the time it will be when this pebble lands will be..."

Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, that inconspicuous pebble was falling downwards at an extremely slow speed!

Wang Ye's voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder—

"One minute."

Zhuge Qing instantly lost all his strength.

He lowered his head and uttered three words with difficulty:

"...I...I give up."

Wang Ye glanced at him and nodded.

The referee raised his hand with difficulty:

"The victor...is the King of Wudang!"

There were no cheers, no extra words.

Everyone was still reeling from the jaw-dropping match.

Until the sound of leather boots stepping on gravel grew louder and louder.

click, click, click—

A figure in a security guard uniform, holding a small notebook, slowly walked over.

Wang Ye paused in his steps.

Zhuge Qing didn't dare to move an inch!

Both of them had sweat on their foreheads at the same time...

Why is this deity here again?

Zhou Yan walked to the edge of the arena, looked down at the shattered stone brick ground, and the two mounds of earth, one tall and one short.

"You two."

Both of them felt a jolt in their hearts at the same time!

Zhou Yan patted the dust off his trousers and grinned:

"Intentionally sabotaging the competition venue..."

"You don't think you're just going to let it go like this, do you?"

Wang Ye opened his mouth: "Master Zhou, I'll compensate you—"

Zhou Yan didn't even wait for him to finish speaking before decisively saying:

"A small punishment!"
