Shi Xuan was speechless. He didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be challenged.
But before Shi Xuan could think about whether to reject it or not, Yu Wendao said coldly, "Could it be that Martial Uncle Shi doesn't dare to fight with Martial Nephew?"
This time, Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan, who were beside Shi Xuan, changed their expressions. They felt that this person was really despicable.
Shi Xuan looked at Yu Wendao and the dozen or so outer disciples behind him. They were all geniuses in the outer sect. Every time they took the test, their cultivation progress would be the highest. Their eyes were the same as Yu Wendao's. Unconvinced, disdainful and contemptuous.
"Since that's the case, Martial Uncle will give Martial Nephew Yu some pointers." Originally, Shi Xuan wanted to reject it directly. If he accepted everyone's challenge, he wouldn't have time to cultivate. But on second thought, although he had experienced life and death battles, he was still lacking in battle experience. The only battle he had with a Leaving Body Stage cultivator was the one in Tide Lane. He might as well make use of this opportunity to train and increase his battle experience. If something happened in the future, he would have more confidence.
Moreover, seeing that it was Yu Wendao who challenged him in the end, it meant that Yu Wendao was at least one of the strongest among them and had a high chance of defeating him. Even if he lost for a while, he would be able to force him to use his full strength so that the more powerful people in the future could be prepared. Then he would show his strength to them and make them feel that there was no hope of winning, so that they would stop the subsequent challenges.
Yu Wendao looked at Shi Xuan coldly and bowed disrespectfully, "Then Martial Nephew will wait for Martial Uncle at the battle stage of Shen Shui Peak." After saying that, he didn't wait for Shi Xuan's reply and left with the dozen or so disciples behind him on their magic tools.
"That Yu Wendao is said to be strong and powerful. Moreover, he comes from the Great Guest Family of the overseas countries. He might have a good magic tool on him. Shi Xuan, you have to be careful." Yu Ruoshui admired Shi Xuan's way of accepting challenges. It was just like her interest in swordsmanship and flying swords. If he avoided every challenge, where could he hide when he went out in the future? So she only reminded Shi Xuan of Yu Wendao's strength.
Zhou Dielan was a bit worried, but since Shi Shuan had already accepted the challenge, she could only say, "Then I'll ask Sister Ming to hold the line for you, Big Brother Shi." After she said that, she didn't care if Shi Shuan agreed or not and loudly called for Ming Qingyue.
After a while, Ming Ming Yue came out with an apologetic look, "I was in a critical moment just now, I had to come out a little later, what's the matter?"
Zhou Dielan and Yu Ruoshui talked about what had happened. Ming Qingyue looked at Shi Shuan with great interest: "Actually, I have always been curious about your strength, especially that rank four thunder technique. Today, I want to take a good look at it, hehe."
Shi Shuan and the others also rode on their magic tools and flew towards Water Edge Peak.
When they arrived at the battle stage of Shen Shui Peak, they realized there were already many outer sect disciples. They should be disciples who were here to learn from each other. When they heard there was such a battle, they all ran over to watch. Shi Xuan even saw some disciples rushing over from other peaks.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shi Shuan slowly walked onto the dueling platform and stood on the other side of the dueling platform.
Penglai's battle stage was actually a mysterious magic tool. It was divided into two sides. The center and the four sides were protected by powerful formations, preventing spells and magic tools from hitting the other side.
Then how would they fight? The people on this side could see that the opponent on the other side was actually just a projection of the battle arena after the space had been folded. As for the surgical techniques and artifacts, they were all simulated projections of the battle arena's illusions. Once their own techniques and artifacts were used, they would also be transformed into projections by the battle arena according to their power, and they would then fight against the opponent's projection. If they were hit by the opponent's spells and magic tools on the stage, they would feel pain and the illusion of bleeding. Because the battle stage had the ability to simulate reality, the result of the battle fully reflected the strength of both sides, and it felt like a real battle.
When Yu Wendao saw Shi Xuan coming up, he immediately took out his Flying Sword and shouted, "Uncle Shi, please give me some pointers." As soon as he finished speaking, the Flying Sword changed into White Light and circled in front of him. He actually did not want to take advantage of Shi Xuan and attacked first.
Shi Xuan patted his storage bag, and the Wanxiang Invisible Sword turned into a clear light and flew out, "Then please make your move. As an uncle, although I can't let you have three moves, I should still let you have the first move."
When Yu Wendao saw Shi Xuan's words, he no longer stood on ceremony. The White Light shot towards Shi Xuan with a hint of coldness.
Shi Xuan recognized that the magic tool used by Yu Wendao was a middle-grade magic tool, the Ice Sword. Yu Wendao must have taken a lot of elixirs and didn't have many Karma points to exchange for a top-grade magic tool. Even if it was a middle-grade magic tool, the Ice Sword, he should have used the Spiritual Stones that his family asked him to bring to exchange for Karma points.
It was common for wealthy clans to ask their children to bring some Spiritual Stones to exchange for Karma points, or even elixirs for consumption. However, smaller clans would not do so. For example, Yu Ruoshui's clan did not give her more Spiritual Stones, elixirs, and celestial devices because it was cheaper to exchange Karma points for celestial devices and elixirs. She had to rely on her own Karma points to exchange for them. Of course, one of the reasons was that she doted on her playboy cousins more.
Shi Xuan made a sword gesture, and the Wanxiang Invisible Sword met the Ice Sword. They fought in the air, and a White Light and a clear light circled up and down like two dragons, stabbing left and right. At the same time, Shi Xuan activated the Golden Dragon Armor Incantation.
Seeing that the Ice Sword did not have the upper hand in the fight, Yu Wendao frowned and changed his sword gesture. The Ice Sword's sword light was blazing, forcing the Wanxiang Invisible Sword away. The surrounding air was affected by it, and there were even snowflakes dancing.
The white sword light became thicker again, and was about to fly towards Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan's expression did not change. The clear light transformed from the Wanxiang Invisible Sword circled around the Ice Sword, and a violent whirlwind appeared, causing the white sword light to lose its direction.
After that, Shi Xuan used the Sword of Gale, Sword of Hurricane, and Sword of Whirlwind alternately. For a moment, the clear light in the air was like a shadow, and the sound of the wind was loud. The white sword light could only defend itself, and it was very strenuous.
The Outer Gate disciples who were watching the fight on the stage began to whisper.
"This Martial Uncle Shi's swordsmanship is pretty good."
"I think Yu Wendao is about to lose."
"Not necessarily. Although Yu Wendao uses a flying sword, as far as I know, his swordsmanship is not his strong point."
※ ※ ※
The more Yu Wendao blocked, the more strenuous it became for him. He knew that he would not be able to win if he didn't use some tricks today. He changed his sword technique again, and the Ice Sword transformed into a white ice wall to block the Wanxiang Invisible Sword. At the same time, a white ray of light shot towards Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan had only used 30% of his strength, so he naturally would not miss the white ray of light that Yu Wendao shot over. Of course, in a situation where he had excess strength, Shi Xuan would not choose to block it head on. Instead, he transformed into a gust of wind and dodged. At the same time, the sword light of the Wanxiang Invisible Sword became more and more intense, wanting to break the white ice wall.
The white ray of light hit the position where Shi Xuan was originally standing, and immediately spread out in all directions. The entire ground and air was covered with a thick layer of ice. Even the two sword lights in the sky seemed to be frozen and slowed down.
"Rank five Rapid Freezing Light!" A disciple below the stage cried out in surprise.
"I didn't expect Yu Wendao's talent to be so good. He actually achieved three ranks in his entire life."
"Tsk tsk, a rank five Rapid Freezing Light. Under a sneak attack, if a Qi Gatherer cultivator was not prepared, he would also be seriously injured."
"I think Martial Uncle Shi is in danger this time. Losing to a Martial Nephew is not a good reputation."
Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan also had a serious look on their faces. Only Ming Qingyue was relatively calm, because she knew that Shi Xuan also had a rank four Lightning Art. Although the effect was average against a Qi Gatherer cultivator, it was enough to deal with Yu Wendao.
Even though Shi Xuan transformed into a gust of wind, he was still slightly affected by the Rapid Freezing Light. Fortunately, he had the Golden Dragon Armor Incantation to protect himself, so he only felt slightly cold. However, Shi Xuan did not dare to be negligent. He did not stop and used the Gust Escape Art. He wandered around the battle stage, and when he saw an opening, he would launch a Shang Qing Cardinal Thunder. At the same time, he intensified the attack of the Wanxiang Invisible Sword. Only Shi Xuan could do this. The other Leaving Aperture Stage cultivators did not have this kind of control. They used their escape art to dodge while retaliating with their Lightning Art. At the same time, they used their flying swords to attack.
Yu Wendao was not having a good time either. Although his rank five Rapid Freezing Light was extraordinary, it consumed a large amount of soul power. Under normal circumstances, he could only use it four times. Now that he was controlling his flying swords and using the Rapid Freezing Light at the same time, he could probably only use it three times.
However, Shi Xuan transformed into a gust of wind and wandered around. The Rapid Freezing Light could not hit him at all. If Yu Wendao had the magic power of a Qi Gatherer cultivator, he could shoot four or five Rapid Freezing Light and turn that space into a world of ice and snow. Even if he could not hit him, he could freeze Shi Xuan's movements, making it difficult for him to move and slow down his dodging. Unfortunately, Yu Wendao did not have it. Similarly, if Yu Wendao had the same control as Shi Xuan, he could also increase the speed of the Rapid Freezing Light, or suddenly change the direction of the Rapid Freezing Light, catching the enemy off guard. Unfortunately, he did not have it.
At this moment, Yu Wendao blindly shot another Rapid Freezing Light. He heard the sound of metal clashing and a green lightning flew over. Yu Wendao was unable to use the Rapid Freezing Light and the flying swords at the same time. He could only activate a talisman and form a wind barrier to protect his body.
With a rumble, a violent explosion sounded, causing a cloud of smoke to rise. The Ice Sword in the sky suddenly fell to the ground powerlessly.
The disciples at the side looked at each other in dismay. This lightning art should be at least rank four, right? Did Yu Wendao lose this time?
The smoke quickly dispersed, revealing the situation inside. Yu Wendao was safe and sound. He held up a treasured umbrella that was embedded with sapphires, rubies, cat's eyes, emeralds, and various other colored gems. It looked like it was flowing with light and splendor. Below the umbrella hung a golden lamp that emitted a golden glow, blocking the Wanxiang Shadowless Sword that Shi Xuan had flown over.
It turned out that when Yu Wendao saw the ferocity of the lightning, he was afraid that the wind barrier wouldn't be able to block it, so he could only give up on the Ice Sword and use his family heirloom protective treasure — Sixth Celestial Paragon Golden Lamp Jeweled Umbrella. This was a replica of a famous treasure, the Heaven and Earth Pearl Umbrella.
Luckily, the wind barrier bought Yu Wendao some time, and he was finally able to safely use the Golden Lamp Jeweled Umbrella, blocking Shi Xuan's Shangqing Hand Pivot Lightning outside the umbrella.
However, Yu Wendao was also secretly complaining. He had controlled the flying swords for such a long time, and also used two Rapid Freezing Light. In addition, he had activated the full power of the Sixth Celestial Paragon Golden Lamp Jeweled Umbrella in a moment of desperation. His soul power was already exhausted, and he could only barely use a few other small natural abilities.
However, what was the use? He couldn't hit Shi Xuan at all. Yu Wendao's thoughts turned quickly, and he had already made a decision. He had to end the battle under this situation where he couldn't win or lose. Therefore, he said in a clear voice, "My Golden Lamp Jeweled Umbrella, Martial Uncle Shi, you can't break it. Why don't we end it with a draw?"
