Chapter 37: Witch Tribe's Martial Arts Competition

  Wuji arrived at the Wu tribe and was stopped by a great witch, who asked Wuji who he was and what brought him to the Wu tribe. Wuji replied: "I am Wuji, this time I have come to your noble tribe for two things, hoping to meet the ancestral witch Hou Tu of your tribe."

  "That Wuna Taoist, Zu Wu the Great is not someone who can be seen by just anyone. Otherwise, I'll take you to see Hou Yi the Great Shaman first and let him decide what to do?" The Tian Xian saw that the person in front of him had a profound and unfathomable cultivation, and also had a hint of the Witch tribe's appearance, so he had a good impression of Wuji and made this suggestion.

  "Thanks for your trouble." After finishing speaking, Wuji followed Tianxu to the central area of this tribe. Before they arrived, Wuji heard waves of fighting sounds and cheering voices around them.

  Wuji was indeed a good fighter, and he had nothing to do but fight for fun. Wuji came to the front under the leadership of Tianwu, and in the middle of the venue, a large space was cleared out, where two muscular men were wrestling, punching and kicking each other, dodging and weaving, you punch me once, I punch you once, you kick me once, I kick you once.

  After the two men had been fighting for half a day, one of them, a burly man, possibly feeling that it was not exciting enough, loudly shouted: "Hou Yi brothers, if we continue to fight like this, it will be meaningless. Why don't we bring out our real skills and use weapons?" After finishing speaking, he took out a shield and an axe.

  The big man opposite, also known as Hou Yi, probably thought the same way. Since both of them had already drawn their weapons, I drew my own bow and quiver full of arrows and said: "Brother Xing Tian is absolutely right, our cultivation levels are equal, let's compare our combat strength now."

  Hou Yi saw Xingtian start to move forward, so he began to draw his bow and shoot arrows at Xingtian. Xingtian also used the axe in his hand to split the arrows. Hou Yi's bow and arrow seemed endless, constantly shooting arrows from somewhere, while Xingtian was constantly using the axe in his hand to strike them down or use the shield in his hand to block them. Hou Yi's bow and arrow could not harm Xingtian, nor could Xingtian advance further from a distance.

  The two of them fought again for half a day, and it was Xing Tian who said first: "I'm not going to fight anymore, I'm exhausted. Every time it's like this, I can't get close to you, you can't break my defense. From now on, I'll never fight with you again. It's more enjoyable to have a close combat with Xiang Liu, Kuafu, Chi You and others."

  Hou Yi heard that he was depressed about the big thing, who made himself good at long-range attacks, and although close combat was not bad, it still couldn't be compared to Xing Tian, this battle maniac.

  Wuji watched the two men's contest, and deeply felt that his own combat skills were insufficient. Although Wuji had killed 48 Daluo Golden Immortals, there was a lot of water in it, relying on the spatial law. In Wuji's own estimation, he would find it difficult to withstand fifty moves in the hands of the two Grand Wizards without borrowing external forces.

  Just as Wuji was still in a daze, the Tianwu who led Wuji here had already informed Xing Tian and Hou Yi, the two great witches who had just finished their battle, of Wuji's existence. Xing Tian asked again which direction Wuji came from, and after getting the answer from Tianwu's mouth, his eyes couldn't help but reveal excited light, and his whole body was full of fighting spirit.

  It turned out that over the years, a person named Wuji had spread throughout the Hongyuan, and in a few months, he successively killed 40 or 50 Daluo Jinxian of the Hundred Tribes Alliance, known as the God of Death by the lower levels of the Hundred Tribes Alliance. Later, the name of the God of Death began to circulate in the Hongyuan.

  Xing Tian and Hou Yi, as the backbone of the Wu tribe, were second only to the existence of the ancestral witch. They had naturally heard of Wuji's deeds and had a rough guess about Wuji's combat strength. Although Wujie's fighting skills had suspicions of relying on the Xiantian Lingbao, they still acknowledged Wujie's strength.

  "Wuji brother, you want to meet Zu Wu the Great? It's not impossible, as long as you can beat me, I'll introduce you to him. How about that?" Xing Tian became even more certain of his previous guess after seeing Wuji, and in order to satisfy his own desire for battle, he came up with a reason to make Wuji his sparring partner.

  Wuji came to the Wu tribe with the first purpose of finding someone from the Wu tribe to be his sparring partner, to temper his close combat skills. Xingtian's intention was exactly what Wujie wanted, so Wujie did not hesitate and immediately agreed: "Dare not disobey, Xingtian Daowu please instruct."

  The people who had already begun to disperse heard that Wuji, a foreigner, was walking around and challenging the war god of their own tribe, and they were all interested in seeing how Xingtian would teach Wuji a lesson and show off his divine power.

  Wuji clearly understood that his own life-and-death struggles were nothing compared to Xingtian's, and Xingtian's combat skills were absolutely unmatched by Wuji even with the help of external forces. Wuji first started by throwing a punch at Xingtian.

  Xing Tian, the Great Shaman, had been through many great wars. With a glance at Wuji's move, he roughly estimated Wuji's strength and adjusted his own cultivation to be on par with Wuji before starting to swing his fists and collide them with Wuji's.

  Wuji only felt a surge of great power passing through his fist and into his body, his arm feeling a wave of pain, and his body involuntarily retreating five steps. Xingtian also retreated three steps. Wuji saw that under the same cultivation level, he was actually forced back five steps by Xingtian. Wuji couldn't help but feel that although they were both in the Great Witch realm, the gap between them was enormous.

  Although the gap between them is huge, Wuji saw that Xingtian had no intention of killing, only a desire to fight, which inadvertently stirred up Wuji's competitive spirit. Wuji said to Xingtian: "Come again" and then continued to attack Xingtian, but this time Wuji did not rely on brute force, instead seeking to find Xingtian's weakness and seize the opportunity to strike.

  It's not that easy for Wuji to find an opening in Xingtian's rich combat experience. Both sides exchanged blows, you attacked and I defended, but it was clear that Wuji was at a disadvantage. In the ten moves they exchanged, eight or nine of them were Xingtian attacking and Wuji defending. Wuji only had one or two chances to counterattack occasionally.

  After exchanging more than thirty moves, Wuji's whole body ached and he had no choice but to jump out of the battle circle. He faced Xing Tian and said: "Great witch is formidable, I admit defeat this time."

  Xing Tian saw Wuji admit defeat, and didn't make a move, but instead said to Wuji: "You're not bad either, you were able to withstand over 30 of my moves without using any weapons. Compared to most people, that's already quite impressive." Seeing Wuji's expression as if he had misunderstood his intention to comfort him, Xing Tian continued: "Don't believe me? Ask them! Among them, there are hardly a few who can withstand 30 of my moves."

  Some onlookers from the Wu tribe nodded their heads in agreement as they watched Wujie approach. Afterwards, Wujie expressed his desire to train hard among the Wu tribe and hoped to stay for a period of time. Houyi, the great shaman, agreed, while the other shamans let out a sigh of relief, watching Wujie with schadenfreude, leaving him perplexed.
