Chapter 166: Competition
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The earth-shaking sounds rang out, indicating that the two sides of the competition could enter the arena.
"Two people settle their grievances with a fight, according to the rules, life and death are not considered, those who retreat are considered losers, and they cannot be killed in pursuit." An old man from the Scorpion tribe announced in a low voice, his voice was not loud, but it echoed in the entire cave, and its momentum was not weak.
Qingmu Fei flew onto the high platform, and Guo Fei immediately followed suit, gathering his martial energy into the space within his martial symbol. Judging from Guo Fei's cultivation level, he was only at the initial stage of the Zongzhe realm, with a much weaker aura compared to Qingmu. Qingmu's aura was surging, and a wave of blue aura radiated outward, automatically stirring up the dust on the platform as if blown by an invisible wind, showcasing his mastery.
On the betting platform, Guo Fei's odds had reached 1 to 5, while Qingmu's was only 1 to 1. Nevertheless, many people still bought Qingmu's win. Hu Xiaoyue took out 500,000 spirit stones to bet on Guo Fei's win, making the Fire Scorpion Tribe overjoyed.
"The betting is about to begin!" As the people buying bets gradually thinned out, the elderly host shouted loudly, ending the sale of bets.
"A lowly, nameless Taoist priest dares to challenge me, Young Master? You're courting death!" Qingmu let out a loud roar, his fist shot out, and his palm suddenly trembled as black fur grew on it, revealing sharp claws. His body flashed like lightning, swiftly pouncing towards Guo Fei with a vicious swipe.
Kuang Fei's eyes turned cold, this demon wolf claw was not ordinary. An average person would have been crippled by it, but Kuang Fei had cultivated the Body Refining Technique and was eager to test its effects. He suddenly clenched his fist, and a surge of internal energy fluctuated within him. A faint white glow flashed on his fist as he countered the wolf claw's attack.
"How dare you use your flesh and blood to fight against the sharp claws of Qingmu, don't you want to die?" A faint ** sound came from the stage, followed by a cry of surprise.
"Boom!" A loud noise, followed by a blood-curdling scream. The crowd was stunned, hardly daring to believe their eyes. Guo Fei's palm was unscathed, while Qingmu's wolf-shaped claws were shattered and bent backwards, letting out a pained wail as his eyes stared at Guo Fei in terror.
"Hoo!" Qingmu let out a loud roar, and a green light flashed around his body. In front of him, the light condensed into a large green wolf. The wolf raised its head to the sky and howled, revealing sharp fangs as it glared fiercely at Guo Fei.
Guo Fei didn't dare to slack off, and in an instant, he infused the sword's energy into his body. His aura gradually rose, and the sword shadow energy inside him began to churn. The light flashing on his fist faintly revealed a golden yellow color.
The wolf composed of light and shadow energy gradually solidified, its body suddenly dashing forward, pouncing fiercely on Guo Fei.
"Bang!" Guo Fei's fist shot out like lightning, striking the wolf's head and emitting a faint whistling sound. The wolf's body was knocked flying, drifting three meters away in mid-air.
Qingmu's eyes gradually narrowed, knowing that Guo Fei had intentionally hidden his strength earlier. A single punch could knock out his beastly aura, and this cultivation was not weak. Among humans, it was considered the ultimate technique. Now, Guo Fei was only using his bare hands to fight back, yet Qingmu had already used his beastly aura, making him feel gradually deceived in his heart.
"Quick battle and quick decision!" Aoki glanced up at a black-clad man on the seat, feeling slightly relieved, and made up his mind to secretly hide something in his hand.
"Hiss!" At the moment when Guo Fei and the wolf-like beast were fighting, Qingmu's hand jerked upwards, and an object shot towards Guo Fei in an instant. The object swelled up rapidly in the wind, transforming into a thorny vine that wrapped itself around Guo Fei. Black light flickered on the thorns, and a faint black aura spread out.
"Hiss!" Guo Fei's hand waved, and the Xuan Tie sword instantly appeared in his hand. A sword aura rotated like a whip, cutting the thorny vine into several segments that fell to the ground. At the moment of cutting the vines, it actually emitted a metallic collision sound. Guo Fei knew this object was extraordinary, incredibly hard.
"Roar!" At the moment when Guo Fei cut off the thorny vines, his beastly aura took advantage of the situation and rushed up, opening its huge mouth to reveal a full set of sharp teeth, biting fiercely at Guo Fei.
It has to be said that this person's beast soul cultivation has indeed reached an extremely high level, with a strong and fierce attack power. However, due to its wood attribute, the cultivation is focused on close-range attacks, which makes it much less effective.
"Hum!" The Xuan Tie sword heart moved at will, suddenly spinning open, emitting a "Sword Tip Slash", instantly splitting the beast's soul in two from the middle.
Aoki groaned and turned pale, while the people on the platform shouted: "Fool! If you lose, we won't forgive you!"
A chaotic noise spread throughout the entire arena, with Qingmu's winning monk waving his arms and shouting loudly, an astonishing sight.
"This is all your fault!" Aoki's eyes turned bright red as his head transformed into that of a wolf, and he let out a deep howl at the sky.
"It's time to use my ultimate move!" Guo Fei's eyes turned cold, and he subconsciously felt a hint of heart palpitations. His vital energy surged forward, instantly condensing into a large golden shield that shone brightly in front of him. As his cultivation increased, the defensive power of the golden shield also greatly enhanced.
"Heavenly Wolf Howls at the Moon!"
A sharp, ear-piercing sound suddenly emitted from Qingmu's mouth, almost like a tangible wave that formed a conical attack and heavily struck the golden shield in front of Guo Fei, producing a fierce ringing sound.
"Boom!" Guo Fei's head swelled, and he retreated dozens of meters, with golden light bursting from his eyes. This sonic attack was not something the Golden Shield could withstand, and it immediately made Guo Fei's consciousness unclear, his head buzzing loudly.
"Fei Yu brothers be careful, this is the Qingmu clan's family heirloom ultimate technique!" Bai Yu shouted loudly in the crowd, and Tian Hunzi instantly transmitted it to Guo Fei with his mind.
"Hiss!" Just as Guo Fei fainted, Qingmu's body swayed, and he pulled out a long spear from his hand, stabbing it fiercely at Guo Fei.
As the muzzle flashed towards Guo Fei's throat like lightning, a thunderous applause erupted from the stands.
"Master!"
"Master!" Tianhunzi was shocked, his palm waved, and the fog-like light was about to emerge, but it suddenly stopped.
"Desist at once!" Guo Fei's divine thought suddenly transmitted over, and Tianhunzi immediately halted his actions.
"Haha, so Young Master was doing it on purpose." Tianhunzi smiled and sat down.
At the moment when the gun tip was about to pierce Guo Fei's throat, Guo Fei suddenly opened his eyes and smiled strangely at Qingmu. With one hand, he instantly grabbed the gun tip, as if he had prepared in advance, and Qingmu, who had been confident of winning, was stunned for a moment. Guo Fei's Xuan Tie sword was swung out in an instant.
"Halt!" A loud shout exploded in the air, and a beam of light shot straight at Guo Fei. Guo Fei was taken aback, and the Xuan Tie sword instantly swept across Qing Mu's chest, then automatically jumped up and blocked Guo Fei's path.
"Boom!" Guo Fei was shocked and his body retreated ten meters away, the yuanqi inside him boiling instantly. What flew over was just a strand of cyan light transformed into a dagger, blocked by Xuan Tie Sword, dispersing in mid-air.
"It's impossible, you didn't even faint!" Aoki muttered in a low voice, then suddenly retreated, but a surge of hot blood immediately spurted out. He lowered his head to look and saw that his chest had been torn open with a bloody gash, exposing his internal organs. Suddenly he fell backwards, collapsing onto the ground.
"Haha!" Guo Fei smiled slightly, not that he hadn't fainted, but in the instant when his life soul was knocked out, the earth soul hiding in the soldier symbol space instantly controlled his body and made Guo Fei come to.
"You little beast, how dare you kill my brother! I'll have your blood as payment for his!" A loud shout exploded in the air, and a black-clad figure stepped forward, treading on the greenish cloud mist, rushing towards Guo Fei.
