Fairy, why bother with me? I am really a yellow-haired villain.

"So strong! That Li Yifeng is so terrifying! Is he really a human?"

Mu Jixue covered her abdomen. After taking a punch from Li Yifeng, she could still feel the pain in her internal organs.

Xia Linglong also woke up slowly after a dizzy spell. Recalling the experience of being knocked over by Li Yifeng's blow and even being knocked unconscious by the force, her face was still pale.

Although his cultivation level was obviously higher, he was easily defeated by Li Yifeng, who was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

That guy definitely possesses the strength of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, and he might even have one foot in the Spirit Transformation realm.

You know, the gap between each small realm of the Nascent Soul stage is huge, and Li Yifeng can still fight across the entire Nascent Soul stage at the peak of the Golden Core stage. His combat power is truly incredible.

Yun Zhonghe deeply agrees with this point.

In his mind, he still remembered the aura of Li Yifeng holding the Haotian heavy sword, dominating the world, like a god of war.

"That guy is much more powerful than we thought!" Yun Zhonghe's voice was a little deep.

"Yun Zhonghe, are you okay?"

Mu Jixue looked at Yun Zhonghe with concern. Although it was pitch black all around and she could not see anything, she was able to accurately identify Yun Zhonghe's location with her keen mental perception.

Following Mu Jixue's question, Qin Hongye and Xia Linglong also became concerned about Yun Zhonghe.

To be honest, Yun Zhonghe, who was able to fight back and forth with Li Yifeng, is also very powerful and should not be underestimated.

Especially considering that Li Yifeng has reached the peak of the Golden Core realm, while Yun Zhonghe has just entered the Golden Core realm, if Yun Zhonghe also has the same cultivation as Li Yifeng, it is hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker!

Our Ah He is also awesome!

Hearing this, Yun Zhonghe curled his lips into a wry smile and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a minor injury."

Is the fight going back and forth?

Yun Zhonghe knew very well that he was able to deal with Li Yifeng only by relying on his slight advantages in speed and physical skills to barely avoid the opponent's attacks. In fact, he could not pose any substantial threat to Li Yifeng.

However, he was completely unable to do anything to Li Yifeng. On the other hand, Li Yifeng could easily eliminate him if he hit him once.

Not to mention that Zhao Lingxiao was casting spells to interfere, which made Yun Zhonghe's movements even more restricted. He had almost no chance of winning this battle.

I feel like this competition is going to be hard to win.

It would be great if there was some magic weapon that could turn the tables.

Just as Yun Zhonghe was lost in thought, his fingers accidentally touched an object. He then picked it up and sensed it with his mind.

"Eh? Senior Sister Qin, why is there a small whip here?"

"Uh... I don't know. I just bought this magic weapon. It might have been left by the previous owner."

"Is that so..." Yun Zhonghe responded lightly after hearing this, without saying anything else.

Qin Hongye was embarrassed and her voice was a little weak.

This small whip was just an ordinary object and was of no help in the battle, so Yun Zhonghe put it back.

Then, his fingers touched something hard.

"Huh? There's even a chain?"

"Uh...it should have been left by the previous owner." Qin Hongye said guiltily.

Yun Zhonghe picked up the iron chain and examined it carefully. "This chain is of extraordinary quality. It is carefully crafted from black iron. I'm afraid that once an ordinary cultivator is locked in it, it will be difficult to break free."

However, this thing should be useless to Li Yifeng. His body is strong and can be torn apart easily.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but put the chain back with regret.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Zhonghe seemed to have touched something again.

"Is this... a candle?"

This is actually useful. It's pitch black in here and I can't see anything.

Mu Jixue frowned slightly when she heard Yun Zhonghe's words. She keenly noticed the abnormality of these items: "Why are there so many strange things here?"

Her intuition told her that these items were most likely placed here intentionally by Qin Hongye.

But she has no evidence, so she can't just talk nonsense.

Qin Hongye was flustered, but remained calm on the surface. "I'm not sure either. Maybe I didn't check carefully enough before. But none of this matters now. Let's just hurry up and recover while we think of a solution."

Yes, the most important thing now is to find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible, rather than dwelling on these insignificant little issues.

Although... Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but murmur in his heart, these props in the small black box, such as small whips, iron chains, and even candles, were really weird, like bedding items.

No, this is not the time to think about that!

Chapter 422 Let’s do it together

Yun Zhonghe secretly reminded himself that he must focus on the difficulties at hand.

Although this magic space can provide temporary shelter, the time for the competition is more urgent.

Although he eliminated so many teams in one go, because he did not recover the spiritual ginseng in time, he was afraid that these precious resources would fall into the hands of Li Yifeng and Zhao Lingxiao. If this continued, it would only become increasingly disadvantageous to them.

While thinking about countermeasures, Yun Zhonghe quickly took a few pills to restore his physical and spiritual strength to speed up his recovery.

"Do you want to cast the 600-strength spell on yourself again?"

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

But on second thought, he rejected the idea.

Although the six hundred enhancement spells can significantly improve his strength, based on his previous feelings, this improvement is only at the same level as Li Yifeng, or perhaps just slightly higher than Li Yifeng, but it is impossible to achieve a decisive victory in a short period of time.

The duration of the 600-point enhancement spell is extremely short. Once the effect wears off, he will fall into a passive situation again.

Therefore, he had to find a more lasting and effective fighting strategy.

Yun Zhonghe carefully analyzed his advantages again and found that his speed and mental strength were slightly better than Li Yifeng's.

However, his abilities in these two aspects are only slightly stronger than Li Yifeng's, and cannot play a role in determining the outcome of the battle.

Even if only one aspect of ability can crush Li Yifeng, there is hope of breaking the deadlock.

[Hey, little friend, are you in trouble? ]

At this moment, the voice of Senior Xingbu suddenly echoed in Yun Zhonghe's mind.

Yun Zhonghe closed his eyes and meditated, pacing his breath. He smiled wryly inwardly and replied, "Indeed, it is a little bit. My opponent's strength is truly too great."

[Haha, indeed. I never thought that a hundred years later, such a heaven-defying monster would still exist in the world of cultivation... Although you are quite terrifying.]

Senior Xingbu chuckled and said this, his words showing both recognition of Li Yifeng's strength and affirmation of Yun Zhonghe's potential.

Then, she changed the subject and asked meaningfully, "How about praying? Just like when we fought that Disaster Queen, with the power of my prayers and the buffs that white-haired girl gave you, you'll definitely win."

Yun Zhonghe fell silent.

Deep down, he didn't want to rely on external forces like this.

In this competition, he longed to rely on their own strength to break through and defeat the powerful enemy. If they could only rely on that temporary boost of strength at this time, then when they faced more ferocious and more powerful real enemies in the future, they would probably find it difficult to overcome those huge obstacles.

However...reality is always cruel.

Perhaps, Yun Zhonghe's strength limit is here. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot make a qualitative leap in a short period of time.

Perhaps, there is really no other way, and we can only rely on the blessing power of Senior Astrology.

After all, compared to these, getting the admission ticket to the Four Beasts Secret Realm is the most important thing!

[Perhaps... you will break through to the second level of the mind-reading technique. Perhaps there is still hope.]

Xingbu's words suddenly gave Yun Zhonghe an inspiration.

Break through the mind-reading technique to the second level... Yes, in this way, the strength of his mental power will surely leap to another level, and he will be able to absolutely crush Li Yifeng in terms of spirit.

Although Li Yifeng has a strong body and is protected by spiritual power, he seems indestructible, but his weak mental strength is his weakness that is difficult to conceal.

But if Li Yifeng could be made dazed for a moment, his spiritual power would temporarily stop functioning and the spiritual power protecting his body would lose its effectiveness. With his physical strength alone, it would not be impossible for Yun Zhonghe to break his defense.

Yes! This strategy definitely works!

[Senior Xingbu, I have to admit, you are still somewhat useful! ]

Yun Zhonghe was generous with his praise.

However, Xingbu complained: [What? I've always been very useful!]

Yes, yes, yes~

Yun Zhonghe said perfunctorily, then ignored it and took the time to observe the mind-reading technique in his mind.

During the tense days of preparing for the competition, Yun Zhonghe never stopped comprehending the art of mind-reading. His understanding became increasingly profound, and his level of comprehension had already met all the conditions for advancing to the second level.

But the problem is that the art of observing the mind is a method of cultivation in the stage of cultivating nature, and Yun Zhonghe is currently only at the peak of the initial stage, and does not meet the requirements in terms of realm.

Unless... abnormal breakthrough methods are adopted!

In extreme cases, monks can break through conventional boundaries and achieve a leap in realm.

At the beginning, Yun Zhonghe also entered Su Xiaoxiao's spiritual world and encountered many obstacles from the Queen of Disasters. He was so emotional that he reached the first level of the art of observing the mind.

At that time, the sense of crisis between life and death and the desire to save Su Xiaoxiao were intertwined, stimulating the potential deep in his heart.

However, the current situation obviously cannot allow Yun Zhonghe to enter this state.

Unless... it's man-made!

At this time, Yun Zhonghe slowly opened his tightly closed eyes: "Everyone, I have a solution, but I may need your help!"

Yun Zhonghe suddenly said this, and Mu Jixue, Qin Hongye and Xia Linglong all opened their eyes curiously.

But they were more delighted. They knew that since Yun Zhonghe had spoken, it meant that he had a plan in mind, and this plan might be the key to turning the situation around.

Yun Zhonghe took a deep breath and his eyes wandered between the three girls: "Can you please let my spiritual power temporarily penetrate your sea of ​​consciousness and use your spiritual power to help me become stronger!"

When these words were spoken, all three of them were stunned.

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Jixue was the first to scream. She stood up in shame and anger, and then kicked Yun Zhonghe with her delicious feet.

"You...you guy, at this hour, what are you thinking about?!"

He actually spoke directly in front of them and tried to penetrate their consciousness.

What’s the difference between this and telling them “Let me get some AC!”

In her opinion, Yun Zhonghe's proposal was simply absurd, and it even made people misunderstand that he was trying to take advantage of her at such a tense moment.

For cultivators, the sea of ​​consciousness is their most private and sensitive place.

Even between Taoist partners, they may not necessarily open their sea of ​​consciousness to each other.

After all, the physical body can be broken and even replaced, but the spirit will accompany the cultivator throughout his life.

Spiritual purity is much more important than physical purity.

However, it was obvious that Yun Zhonghe did not fully understand the profound meaning of this level.

"Uh... why is Mu Jixue so repulsive?" Yun Zhonghe muttered to himself, with a hint of confusion on his face.

It’s not like I haven’t penetrated her sea of ​​consciousness before.

Back when they were in the Wandao Divine Tower, Yun Zhonghe had expanded her and Lin Zhongyu's sea of ​​consciousness.

But Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu's reactions were not that big that time, and Yun Zhonghe thought she shouldn't mind that much.

Chapter 423: Impact in the Competition

"Can it be the same now as then?"

Mu Jixue yelled coquettishly, her little face full of shame and indignation, and she kicked Yun Zhonghe without any hesitation.

This series of actions also revealed her originally hidden personality.

Stupid Yun Zhonghe! Lecherous Yun Zhonghe! Dirty Yun Zhonghe!

It would be fine if he did it to himself, but he actually did it to Qin Hongye and Xia Linglong as well...

Mu Jixue cursed angrily, two blushes appearing on her cheeks.

She was angry and looked like she didn't want to pay attention to you anymore. She turned her face away and swung her snow-white hair, which hit Yun Zhonghe's face a little painfully.
