Chapter 143: Huoyu's Raid, Xuanyuan's Battle
These arrogant young men were all famous sons of nobles in Donglai City. This time, they came out to hear that Xu Yang had come down from Haiyun Mountain and wanted to defeat him openly and fairly, taking a place on the Qianlong List and making a name for themselves throughout the Xizhou countries!
The number of talented youngsters from Donglai City who were selected in the past Sea Cloud Selection was the largest, with nearly a hundred people, and it can be said that they were flourishing. If they were to enter the Thirty-six Peaks, the young geniuses from other cities would have no place to stand. For some reason, the Sea Cloud Institute specifically stipulated that the selected Donglai City youngsters could only cultivate in their own homes and did not have the qualifications to enter the Sea Cloud Mountain.
Otherwise, these proud aristocratic families would have already risen to challenge the famous Xu Yang and Peng Yaozu on the hidden dragon list, seeking to make a name for themselves in the world!
"Don't be impatient, everyone. We'll send our men to guard the city gate and thoroughly search Donglai City. We must not let Xu Yang escape. As for who challenges first..." Liu Mingchu said slowly, "it will depend on which side finds him."
"Not bad! I'll take the lead!" A young man in brocade clothes, with a faint yellow glow emanating from his feet, stepped out. Each of his steps was seven zhang long, and in an instant, he vanished into thin air.
"Xiang Jianfeng has bid farewell!" Another young man, surrounded by a faint sword aura, carrying a broadsword on his back, transformed into a sword light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Next, Yan Yiming and Li Guanxi were all in high spirits, each showing off their skills, dispersing to search for Xu Yang.
In the field, only Liu Mingtuan was left. He smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and called out to a guard: "Bring me the treasure map and investigate Xu Yang's whereabouts!"
The guard took out a beast skin map, on which was drawn the image of mountains and rivers. He manipulated his mysterious power, and the mountains and rivers on the beast skin map suddenly enlarged, revealing the detailed streets of Donglai City.
"Gongzi, Xu Yang is at Beihuan Street in the north of the city. Judging from the location, it should be Liuji Baolou." The guard pointed to a detailed map of Donglai City streets, where a small red dot was flashing with a faint light.
Liu Mingtuan smiled in satisfaction: "This 'Divided Form Shadow Chart' is indeed a treasured heirloom of our family! This time, the seat on the Hidden Dragon List will surely belong to me, Liu Mingtuan!" He took over the treasure map, unfolded his mysterious skills, and leaped into the air, quickly dashing towards the north of the city.
Liuji Bao Lou on Panwang Street.
Xu Yang and Lin's father-daughter duo parted ways, agreeing to meet again at the Chun Tang in three days. In his storage ring, he had already gained twenty-four mid-grade Xuan stones.
Lin Yuanhang was initially unwilling to accept, thinking that he hadn't put in much effort, but couldn't resist Xu Yang's persuasion and accepted the six pieces of Xuan stone.
"Gentleman, our store sells all sorts of spiritual resources. What is it that you're looking for?" A woman with a slender figure came forward and asked with a bow.
Xu Yang carefully examined the items on the shelves. This was indeed Donglai City, where even a ordinary treasure shop like this one had spiritual treasures such as Qinglian Crystal, Heavy Water, and Frenzied Stone on display, only with very high price tags.
Xu Yang's eyes lit up as he found Blue Gold Snow on the side of Heavy Water.
Lan Jin Xue is a mixed ice extreme treasure with Tu Ji Jin Sha, but this was ten thousand years ago, the method of extraction had not been passed down yet, so people all regarded Lan Jin Xue as an "impure ice extreme treasure", and its price was also relatively low.
Only Xu Yang knew that Blue Golden Snow could extract gold sand, which was an auxiliary medicine for refining fifth-grade elixirs, and its value was astonishing. In his storage ring, there was a portion of gold sand, which he had obtained from the appraisal conference in Lin Yuan City, extracted from Blue Golden Snow.
"I'll buy that Blue Gold Snow." Xǔ Yáng said, he looked at the price tag and it wasn't high, so he didn't haggle anymore and paid with a mid-grade Xuan Stone.
With a loud crash, the wooden door of Liuji Silver Building was blown open by the strong wind. A domineering voice came in: "Haha, heaven grants my wish, let me be the first to find you! Xu Yang, get out here, the seat on the Hidden Dragon List can only be mine, Li Guanxi's!"
Xu Yang furrowed his brow and leapt out of the door, a purple-robed youth with a surging aura, swirling purple mist, and piercing eyes that stared straight at Xu Yang.
It was afternoon, and the streets of Panwang Street were crowded with people, instantly forming a large circle. Watching excitement is human nature, and any city is like this.
"Li Guanxi, a junior member of the Li family from the east city, is an extremely powerful master. He cultivates the Li family's 'Zixia True Scroll', and his body has transformed into a being of pure energy, with purple flames that are unmatched in power! I don't know who was unlucky enough to offend this young noble!"
"Shh, that blue-shirted youth opposite us isn't an ordinary person either. He's known as the Little Killing God and is a notorious youngster on the Hidden Dragon List!" Someone recognized Xu Yang.
"Xu Yang, remember, you will fall at my hands today, Li Guanxi." The purple-robed youth Li Guanxi clapped his palms together and a purple fire eagle burst out of his body, its wings spread three feet wide, circling and screeching, an astonishing sight.
"Mystical power has taken shape, and it already possesses a few points of divine charm." Xǔ Yáng let out a cold laugh, his palm supporting a pale red small sparrow.
"Haha, that little sparrow is not even enough to fill the gap between my Fire Eagle's teeth!" Li Guanxi said proudly. "Xu Yang, this Fire Eagle of mine was obtained from the 3,000-mile distant Cangwu Mountain in the west, and it's a fierce bird that can rival the legendary Xuan Jun! Today, let me show you the power of a fierce bird!"
The fiery eagle let out a fierce cry, spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, then diving down to strike Xu Yang with deadly precision, intent on tearing him apart.
Xu Yang's right hand lifted, and the light red Vermilion Bird also flapped its wings and shot up. Its wings spread wide, and a rolling flame swept out, about 60-70 feet wide! The beak of the pale yellow bird opened, and a stream of scarlet flames spewed out.
Li Guanxi's eyes were solemn, he felt the powerful destructive force hidden in the flames, and hastily manipulated the fire eagle to dodge and attack from the side. The fire eagle flapped its wings, and suddenly a series of feathers shot out like arrows, pointing directly at Xu Yang!
"This is the innate mystic art of Hu Ying, Flame Feather Strike! Li Xiaojun was actually able to merge this move with Hu Ying's Mystic Spirit, a truly rare and precious feat! He lives up to his reputation as a young genius, with the strength to rank on the Hidden Dragon List!" An elderly spectator exclaimed.
The Vermilion Bird was still only the size of a palm, but its body was surrounded by scarlet flames that extended for seven or eight zhang. Seeing the endless fiery feathers, the Vermilion Bird raised its head and let out a clear whistle, as the fierce flames churned and transformed into a massive fire sea, ten zhang in diameter, enveloping all the fire arrows within.
Countless wisps of cyan smoke rose up, Vermilion Bird used fire to counteract fire, and the Flame Eagle's offensive was completely extinguished.
"What a powerful aura! These two talented youngsters have gone all out from the start, summoning their life-bound mystic spirits to fight! Otherwise, it's impossible to have such an overwhelming momentum." A master with a Mystic Master realm cultivation base, feeling the surging and majestic flames of energy in the arena, said with a pale face.
Li Guanxi went to war with his Benming Xuanling, showing absolute confidence in himself and believing he could crush his opponent. As the battle raged on, he began to change color. Because he had already used all his killer moves, but still couldn't defeat Xu Yang!
