Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

The martial arts competition to win the bride was held in the evening, so when the time was almost up, Jiang Li took Ye Guixu, Ye Linglong, Jiang Huanyang, and Jiang Chuyue to Zhan Nian Mountain. There was a stone platform that had been built long ago on the mountain, and there was a formation on the platform, which would magnify and project everything on the platform for the disciples to observe and learn.

When Jiang Li arrived here, he found that the place was already surrounded by people. After all, this was a matter concerning Mu Bingning's lifelong event. Many disciples had been waiting here early, but Jiang Li looked at the faces of these disciples and they all seemed to be unhappy.

After all, Mu Bingning is from their sect, and they know very well that the younger generation of their sect can never compare with those from the other two major sects. Moreover, they had heard the news early on that Ye Guixu would come to this martial arts competition to recruit a bride, and even Jiang Huanyang would come.

They could only watch as the fairy from their own sect married into another sect, and they were naturally depressed.

The disciples below the stands looked depressed, while Jiang Li looked up from above the stands.

Today, Mu Xuezhi was wearing a white palace dress with irises embroidered on the chest. Her face was bare-faced. She sat upright on a chair, her eyes indifferent and noble.

Jiang Li searched the crowd and soon saw Yue Ji and Bai Sheng. To his surprise, the two were sitting together, but Jiang Li couldn't find where Mu Bingning had gone.

It is clearly such an important day.

The martial arts competition for a bride had not officially begun yet, because the people from the other two sects had not all arrived yet. After waiting for about three incense sticks of time, two streams of light broke through the air in the distance.

The first was Ye Chen, the leader of Fengling Yueying Sect. He was wearing a black robe and looked to be middle-aged, quite handsome.

The second is Jiang Mian, the deputy leader of the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect. He looks a little hunched over and older. He carries a huge disc on his back, but his expression looks kind.

These two are witnesses, and their arrival also means that the competition to win the bride will officially begin.

The people from the two sects all took their seats. Mu Xuezhi finally stood up and began to announce the rules of this martial arts competition.

In fact, the rules are that there are no rules, and the rules are even too strict. Anyone can choose to take the lead and stand on the stage. All cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage can come forward to challenge. Whoever is still standing on the stage in the end can marry Mu Bingning and obtain one million spirit stones, a Fiery Spirit Ginseng, and a Star Hidden Grass.

Mu Xuezhi's voice spread to every corner of Zhan Nian Mountain. Many people in the audience were eager to try. Jiang Huanyang looked at Jiang Li deeply. He seemed to be ready to step onto the stage. Jiang Li heard his voice transmission, "You can be the last one to come up."

Even though Jiang Li had rejected him before, he still stubbornly wanted to repay the favor. He didn't like owing others anything, but at this moment Jiang Li also stood up.

So all eyes fell on the two of them.

Jiang Li smiled at Jiang Huanyang, then leaped onto the sword-discussing stage. The shadow stone projected his body into the air. Jiang Li looked indifferently at the people below the stage.

"Then let me take the lead."

He stood there and smiled at everyone, but the next moment, the audience was in an uproar like the wind blowing wheat waves.

......................................................

Who doesn't know that Jiang Li pursued Mu Bingning with all his heart in the past, but after being humiliated by Mu Bingning, he finally gave up on himself and spent his whole day flirting with other girls in Xuantian Dao Ji Sect?

Did Jiang Li do anything wrong? No, he just fell in love with someone and was rejected, that's all.

There is nothing wrong in loving someone.

Many people in the sect knew the story of Jiang Li and Mu Bingning, and they had also seen that Jiang Li had become dazzling again in recent days, but no one had ever thought that he would be the first person to step onto the stage in this martial arts competition to win a bride.

Why did he step onto this stage again? He still hadn't let it go after four years? Mu Bingning humiliated him so much back then, but now he still loved that woman so deeply?

There were many junior and senior sisters in the audience who had had a relationship with Jiang Li. At this moment, they began to grit their teeth. Their eyes were filled with jealousy. They were jealous of why Mu Bingning was so important in his heart.

He just stood there quietly. The discussions in the audience were about to break through the sky. Jiang Li's gaze wandered around the stage for a moment and finally fell on Ye Guixu.

Ye Guixu looked at him and understood. He stood up and leaped onto the stage. He put away the smile on his face and looked very serious, but he deliberately lowered his voice, "Brother Jiang, do you need me to teach you a few moves?"

Jiang Li shook his head.

"I have prepared for this debate, so you don't have to hold back." Jiang Li replied quietly.

The audience was already cheering for Jiang Li, and the disciples of Xuantian Dao Ji Zong were almost shouting their throats out. After all, Jiang Li was a member of their Xuantian Dao Ji Zong. No matter whether he could stand here to the end, his courage had already made many people admire him.

Ye Guixu hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand, and seven talismans flew out from between his sleeves.

These seven sword talismans represented his swordsmanship, and he raised his hand, and a black long sword appeared in his hand. The moment he held the sword, his aura was no longer frivolous, but became solemn. Jiang Li seemed to have glimpsed many dark and obscure things from his sword intent.

Ye Guixu is the real Ye Guixu when he holds the sword. His usual lively appearance is just a mask he uses to share his pain.

He looked silently at Jiang Li in front of him, the seven talisman papers were surrounding him, and at this moment Jiang Li flicked his sleeves, and after a moment, the seven talisman papers flew out from his sleeves.

"In order to defeat Brother Ye, I used some tricks."

Jiang Li looked at the seven pieces of talisman paper in front of him. The next second, with his command, the seven pieces of talisman paper turned into spirit swords in an instant and slashed towards the seven pieces of talisman paper in front of Ye Guixu.

At this moment, the seven talismans on the stage turned into spiritual swords and entangled with each other, but Jiang Li and Ye Guixu did not make any moves. They just stared at the collision of sword shadows in front of them. There was a bit of astonishment on Ye Guixu's face.

Because each of Jiang Li's seven sword talismans was exactly capable of restraining him, Jiang Li had guessed every move and style of his sword talismans just by watching him draw his sword once, and had come up with a nearly perfect solution!

Ye Linglong, who was sitting in the audience, opened her lips slightly, staring blankly at the collision of sword symbols on the stage. She made a silent estimate in her mind, and after a moment she had reached a conclusion.

No wonder he was so confident, he knew he would win!

....................................

After three incense sticks.

The two men's sword talismans have already determined the winner. At this moment, Ye Guixu's seven sword talismans have been destroyed, while Jiang Li's seven sword talismans have surrounded Ye Guixu. As long as he gives the order, the spiritual swords transformed from the seven sword talismans will stab Ye Guixu.

Ye Guixu looked up at Jiang Li. His face turned pale, but he was not defeated. He just said, "I have one more trick."

"I'm waiting for you."

"No, I don't plan to use it here. I don't have a chance to fight Jiang Huanyang this time, but I'll have another chance next time." Ye Guixu waved his hand, then looked at the audience and smiled helplessly, "I admit defeat."

Ye Guixu jumped off the sword-fighting arena, and cheers came from below the arena. Jiang Li stood there silently, and then moved his eyes to Ye Linglong.

The corners of Ye Linglong's lips curled up. She stood up, patted Ye Guixu's shoulder and comforted him.

"Let my sister take care of him."

Chapter 119: Chapter is Jiang Jinbie

Ye Linglong jumped onto the stage.

Today she was wearing a black dress that fit her graceful body tightly. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look neat and tidy. Today there was a strong wind, which blew up her skirt slightly, revealing a section of her soft and delicate thighs.

"No wonder you wanted to discuss swordplay with Guixu last time. It turned out that you wanted to make preparations early."

Jiang Li nodded, "That's right."

"Then how should you deal with me?" Ye Linglong raised the corners of her lips.

"Of course there is a way, but I don't want you to force me to use that method for emotional and logical reasons." Jiang Li said particularly gently.

"But I also want to marry Mu Bingning."

"No, you don't want to. With your personality, there is no reason for you to fall in love with someone you have never met." Jiang Li shook his head, "I will give you two choices. One is to fight with me and then be defeated by me with a sword talisman."

"Second, admit defeat now. In the next three days, I will teach you how to become a Heaven-level Talisman Master."

This was what Jiang Li had prepared. He waited for Ye Linglong's response. There was a hint of curiosity in Ye Linglong's eyes. "What level are you at in cultivating talismans?"

"Excellent product." Jiang Li replied calmly.

Ye Linglong's pupils dilated slightly. She had originally guessed that Jiang Li would be at the peak of the Heavenly Rank. After all, he only took a look at Ye Guixu's sword moves and figured out how to use talisman paper to restrain Ye Guixu's sword moves. You know, the talisman paper he used just now was made of much inferior material to the one Ye Guixu used, but he managed to defeat Ye Guixu easily with just a little effort.

Ye Linglong thought seriously for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly, "I choose the second option. If you can't teach me by then, I'll make you suffer!"

She glared at Jiang Li fiercely, then jumped off the sword-fighting arena.

The voices of the two did not get out, so other people did not understand what had happened. There was a lot of discussion for a while. After Ye Linglong came and sat down next to Ye Guixu, Ye Guixu could not help but twitching his mouth and said in Ye Linglong's ear.

"Sister, they said that you turned your love for Jiang Li into hatred, and when you saw that he wanted to marry Mu Bingning, you wanted to interfere. In the end, Jiang Li managed to persuade him to stop."

“……”Ye Linglong was speechless.

After all, this was the direction that was easiest for them to guess. Ye Linglong always felt that there were strange looks cast at her from time to time. Even she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart at this moment, and couldn't help but secretly curse Jiang Li in her heart.

"What kind of reputation does this guy have in the sect?"

Ye Guixu said with a tone of envy, "I just heard from a nearby disciple that he seemed to have dated seventy or eighty Taoist partners before."

Ye Linglong widened her eyes.

....................................

Under the sword-fighting arena.

Bai Sheng and Yue Ji were both looking at the stage. Yue Ji couldn't help but ask Bai Sheng, "Where is Mu Bingning?"

This was her lifelong event, but she was not present at such an important moment? Bai Sheng whispered to Yue Ji, "Senior Sister Bing Ning broke through the late Nascent Soul stage yesterday and is preparing to enter the Minor Tribulation."

Yue Ji nodded slightly, thinking that this made sense.

Yue Ji looked up at the stage, still feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart, while Bai Sheng held her face, looked at Jiang Li seriously, with a smile on his lips.

"Aren't you angry?" Yue Ji couldn't help asking.

"Brother Jiang Li is very powerful." Bai Sheng tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. After a moment, she said, "Brother Jiang Li went to the battle for the sake of sister Jin Bie's health. Why should I be angry?"

Yue Ji looked at Bai Sheng deeply and wanted to say something but in the end she didn't say it.

Her eyes fell on Ye Chen and Jiang Mian on the stage. They were the witnesses sent by the two major sects. At this moment, Ye Chen's expression was a little ugly. After all, the two saints of their sect had lost to Jiang Li of Xuantian Dao Ji Zong, and Ye Guixu lost with talisman paper.

But Ye Chen was just slightly unhappy.

Jiang Mian is an old man who looks like he is about to be buried. The formation plate he carries behind him has an aura that frightens Yue Ji. She always feels that her Divine Eye seems to want to tell her something, but her cultivation is not enough and she cannot see it. However, her mysterious intuition makes her feel that the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect seems to have some deep secrets.

Yue Ji quickly withdrew her gaze and moved her eyes to the stage.

......................................................

Jiang Huanyang leaped up and landed on the stage.

His arrival suddenly silenced all the discussions in the audience, and the world began to become quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if only the sound of the wind was left.

Because Jiang Huanyang revealed the undisguised aura of someone who had passed the third level of the minor tribulation.

In just half a month, he had broken through again and his cultivation had reached the third level of overcoming the minor tribulation. At this moment, he was already the undisputed strongest of the younger generation in the Zhongzhou sect.

He is a formation cultivator and also a sword cultivator.

"Just do your best." Jiang Li emphasized again.

Jiang Huanyang nodded slightly, he raised his hand, and a golden sword appeared in his hand. It was a heavenly spiritual sword, and its sharp aura made people dare not even look directly at it. He was surrounded by spiritual energy. He himself was a body with three spiritual roots, and the three spiritual energies of water, fire and wind surrounded him.

He raised his hand, and the magic sword in his hand flew out. The array pattern drawn on the golden magic sword lit up. This time he really used all his strength, and the attack was his strongest Five Elements Sword Formation.

Jiang Li did not slack off at all. He took out the Liuyin Bodhi Jade on which he had engraved a formation, which was a reverse five elements formation. The Liuyin Bodhi Jade was a disposable formation plate. After he crushed it, a formation with the same magnificent sword energy appeared beside him.

He also raised his hand, and two spiritual swords appeared in his hand.

The changes in the formation were controlled by the person who drew the formation. Jiang Huanyang's sword returned to his hand, and his body also moved forward. The two people's formations were activated at the same time, and they began to fight in these two formations.

It was obvious that Jiang Li was only at the initial stage of foundation building, but his speed was not much slower than Jiang Huanyang. Each of his swords landed at the right point where Jiang Huanyang could not take it head-on. Jiang Huanyang could only choose to dodge and had few opportunities to attack.

Jiang Huanyang not only had to deal with Jiang Li's sword, but also had to be wary of Jiang Li's strange sword formation. That sword formation easily restrained his formation and completely suppressed it, and he even had enough energy to fly out a few spirit swords to stab him.

His Five Elements Sword Formation was what he had learned throughout his life. After countless improvements, it had already entered the Heavenly Rank. But at this moment, Jiang Li's sword formation had far surpassed the Heavenly Rank. Jiang Huanyang had never seen such a formation in the formation manual. He was probably creating it himself. His heart was full of doubts, but the current situation did not allow him to be distracted.

Jiang Li's sword was very steady, and each of his strikes went straight to the vital points without the slightest deviation. He seemed particularly confident, and he had thought of the follow-up moves for each of his strikes, as if he knew how Jiang Huanyang would dodge and counterattack next.

The two of them continued to fight on the stage. The audience was silent, staring at the sword fight on the stage seriously, and no one was willing to be distracted for even a moment.

After a stick of incense had passed, Jiang Li took a few steps back and retreated to the edge of the arena.

The reason why he retreated at this moment was that the power of the formation plate drawn by the Liuyin Bodhi Jade had been exhausted, but Jiang Huanyang still had spare strength. His Five Elements Sword Formation was still running, and his spiritual energy was still 50% left.

"Your formation is very powerful." Jiang Huanyang said word by word, "but your cultivation is too low."

There was no sign of frustration on Jiang Li's face. He raised his head slightly and said, "Don't worry."

He raised his hand again, and another piece of talisman paper appeared in his hand. This was also a talisman sword, which he had carved out some time ago. He used his spiritual energy to activate the talisman paper, which started burning and then turned into a red spiritual sword.

Ye Guixu in the audience widened his eyes at this moment.

This was clearly the sword he had taught Jiang Li before!

"It's over." Ye Guixu whispered.

"What's wrong?" Ye Linglong beside him asked in confusion.

"If my sword was used against his Five Elements Sword Formation from a few years ago, it would be fine. But against his current sword formation... it's useless." Ye Guixu lowered his head, as if he couldn't bear to see the result.

"Take another look?" Ye Linglong's voice was filled with some suspicion.

"There's no need to look..." Although he said this, Ye Guixu still raised his head. His voice suddenly stopped. He saw the shadow of the sword he taught Jiang Li in the talisman sword that Jiang Li took out, but he also saw many new things.

He himself was a talisman practitioner. Looking at every pattern on the talisman paper and sensing the flow of spiritual energy, he couldn't help but want to dance with joy and became a little incoherent, "So that's how it is... So it can be used like this... He is a genius... He is the real genius!"

The foundation of Jiang Li's talisman sword came from him, but it also added a lot of new things. He used the smallest power to achieve the greatest effect. The talisman sword slashed towards Jiang Huanyang. Jiang Huanyang's Five Elements Sword Formation was activated, but it was completely destroyed by this sword.
