The disciples only saw Zhang Yan suddenly disappear, and when he reappeared, the sword light that Luo Yuanhua had transformed into had already shattered, and he fell to the ground with blood spurting out of his mouth.
Fortunately, Elder Xun saw that the situation was not good and acted in time to catch him. Otherwise, he would have fallen to the ground and died a horrible death.
Luo Yuanhua could not understand why this happened, but Xiao Sha, who was watching the battle from the peak, saw it clearly. His face darkened, and he said solemnly, "Minor Universe Movement Escape Technique?"
However, he did not understand how Zhang Yan had broken Luo Yuanhua's protective sword light.
Zhang Yan had Just Now set up a trap.
He had purposely set up obstructions in the north, east, and south, leaving the west unguarded, in order to lure Luo Yuanhua here.
On the battlefield, when soldiers surrounded a city, there was a saying, "Surround three to kill one". His move was also imitating the old saying, but in reverse, he had set up an ambush.
Zhang Yan was also proficient in the Sword Escape Technique, and he knew that when a cultivator was flying with the sword light, he would not have time to think about anything else. Inertia would make him rush to wherever there was an opening, so he had the confidence to set up this trap.
As Luo Yuanhua flew around the battlefield, Zhang Yan secretly used the Minor Universe Movement Escape Technique, waiting for the other party to fly to the west corner.
As expected, Luo Yuanhua saw an opening and came over without hesitation.
He could not be blamed for this. Usually, he had the Sword Escape Technique to open the way, and even if there was an accident, he could block it in time.
However, when he encountered Zhang Yan, he could not be judged by common sense.
Almost at the same time that Luo Yuanhua flew, Zhang Yan used the escape technique and flew out in an instant, blocking the other party's path. The Earth Element True Light on his body shattered the escape light on the spot, severely injuring him.
Elder Xun carried Luo Yuanhua and threw him to the fifth peak. He did not need to say anything more, the result of this battle was obvious.
Xiao Sha snorted. With a wave of his hand, two disciples came forward and took the unconscious Luo Yuanhua back.
A disciple took out a pill and dissolved it in water. He then brought a golden cup over, pried open Luo Yuanhua's lower jaw and fed it to him.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Sha saw that he was still unconscious and did not seem to be getting better. It was obvious that his injuries were extremely severe and he had almost lost his life. He couldn't help but shake his head.
He had already warned Luo Yuanhua not to underestimate his opponent.
But when they fought against each other just now, he could tell that his junior brother was showing off a little. He even wanted to force Zhang Yan to use his sword to fight against him, but in the end, he was careless and lost on the spot. Many of his high-tier sword techniques were countered before he could even use them.
Fortunately, this was only an inner sect competition. If he were to fight with the demons outside, he would probably die an unjust death.
Xiao Sha turned around. As he looked down, he looked at Zhang Yan with a solemn expression.
Although the Minor Universe Shifting Escape Technique was only a minor divine ability in the sect, it was derived from one of the twelve divine abilities, the Five Elements Escape Technique. There were only a few people in the sect who knew how to use this technique. Among the top ten disciples, only Qi Yuntian knew how to use it.
Therefore, he was suspicious. Zhang Yan was likely a chess piece pushed out by the master and disciple, or at the very least, he had Qi Yuntian's support.
If that was the case, he needed to be careful. Who knew if the other party still had some hidden means to fight against him.
After Xiao Sha finished thinking, he shook his sleeves and stood up from the flying chariot. He slowly walked to the bottom of the mountain and stared at Zhang Yan. He slowly said, "Junior Brother Zhang, I heard that one of my nephews has fallen into your hands. I want to make a deal with you. If you win today, then there is no need to mention anything else. If I win by luck, then I ask you to return my nephew to me. How about it?"
Xiao Han was captured by Zhang Yan. As an elder of the clan, he had to ask about it. He couldn't pretend that he didn't know anything.
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since Senior Brother Xiao has spoken, then, regardless of the outcome of this battle, I will release Xiao Han after the Grand Competition."
Xiao Sha hadn't thought that Zhang Yan would agree so readily, but it was good that he was able to release them. This could also be considered as an explanation to the clan. As for whether or not they had suffered any injuries, it was not within his consideration. He cupped his hands and said, "Junior Brother Zhang is very generous, this elder brother thanks you in advance."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and cupped his hands in return, "I don't dare, Senior Brother Xiao is too polite."
Xiao Sha stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Zhang, since you want to ask me for advice, I will agree. However, you have already fought two battles, so I won't take advantage of you. How about this, I will stay here for half an hour and let you attack me. If you can injure me, then you win. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples below whispered to each other and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother Xiao is so bold!"
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. When he saw Xiao Sha's eyes flicker slightly, he immediately knew what he was thinking and couldn't help sneering inwardly.
Xiao Sha wasn't afraid of taking advantage of him. It was obvious that he recognized Yang Kai's Minor Universal Shifting Escape Technique and was afraid that if they fought, Yang Kai would use this Divine Ability to evade and fight. If that happened, even if he couldn't defeat Yang Kai, he would at least be able to drag the fight to a draw. At that time, it wouldn't look good on him.
Zhang Yan's guess was correct. Xiao Sha was indeed thinking this way.
He thought that Zhang Yan had the help of the Sword Escape Technique as well as the Minor Universal Shifting Escape Technique. If Zhang Yan kept dodging, Xiao Sha wouldn't have a suitable method to take him down.
If it were someone else, it wouldn't be a big deal. This escape technique consumed a lot of Pill Essence Qi. At worst, he would just drag it out a few more times before running out of energy.
However, Zhang Yan's Pill Essence Qi was still at the first grade. His Pill Essence Qi was vigorous and long, like a bottomless pit. It was difficult to see the whole picture. Wanting to exhaust it in two to four hours was undoubtedly wishful thinking.
It must be known that if Xiao Sha was forced to a draw by Zhang Yan, not only would he lose face, but the aristocratic families' disciples behind him, such as Han Suyi, Su Wentian, and Fang Zhenlu, would also be questioned and criticized. Their reputations would be tarnished, which was why he came up with this idea.
At first glance, it seemed that he was at a disadvantage, but in fact, he was restricting Zhang Yan's Escape Technique Divine Ability and eliminating his greatest advantage.
If Zhang Yan used all his methods and still couldn't defeat him, who would say that he was inferior to Zhang Yan? They would only say that he was magnanimous and didn't compete with the younger generation.
Among the ten grand disciples, Xiao Sha valued his status and face the most. He especially cared about his reputation. Normally, when he sat or slept, he would have an extraordinary appearance. If he could not only defeat Zhang Yan, but also win praise, that would be the best.
Zhang Yan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xiao's idea is not bad. It will reduce the fierce murderous aura, and we can avoid hurting the harmony between our fellow disciples. However, you and I are competing fairly in front of our fellow disciples, so we should return the favor."
Xiao Sha said, "Oh, then what does Junior Brother think? How will it be considered returning the favor? "
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Junior Brother, I will also stand here. The time limit is half an hour. Senior Brother, go all out and attack me. If you can injure me in the slightest, then I lose."
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. Xiao Sha was one of the ten grand disciples, so what he said was reasonable. However, where did Zhang Yan get the confidence to say such big words?
Xiao Sha also looked at Zhang Yan strangely.
He didn't say those words to show off, but he had full confidence.
What he learned was one of the five techniques and three scriptures, the "Treasure Gold Cloud Book". If he focused on defending, it would be like a golden city, unbreakable.
Especially since he only needed to hold on for half an hour, he would be able to use all of his Dan Qi to defend. Even if a powerful treasure came down, it wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
But why did Zhang Yan say that? Could it be that he had some powerful treasure to defend?
He pondered for a moment and was even more certain that Zhang Yan was a secret pawn of the master and disciple. The Spiritual Masters must have given him some kind of treasure to protect himself. Only Now did he have such confidence.
He laughed coldly in his heart. Did he really think that with a few treasures, he could do whatever he wanted?
However, his face became warmer and warmer as he said slowly, "Junior Brother Zhang, are you sure about this? You have to think it through. "
Zhang Yan sighed and said, "Of course I won't regret my words."
Xiao Sha was overjoyed and was about to speak when Elder Xun, who was next to him, raised his eyebrows and rushed up to scold Zhang Yan, "Zhang Yan, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! Martial Nephew Xiao Suo's cultivation far surpasses yours, and he also has a superior cultivation method to protect himself. That's why he dared to say such words. How many years have you cultivated? You dare to boast like this? Quickly give up on this idea! "
Even though Elder Xun's words were harsh, he actually had good intentions.
He also knew a little about Xiao Sha's background. Once some methods were used, if one was tricked, it would damage one's Dao foundation. No matter how much one recuperated, it would be useless.
In the previous two rounds, he could tell that Zhang Yan's talent was extraordinary. Furthermore, he had formed a first grade Dan and was quite promising. If he waited another twenty four years, he might even be able to snatch the position of the ten great disciples. However, at this moment, he felt that Zhang Yan was still lacking and needed more training.
He was also a disciple of the Master and the disciple, so he naturally could not bear to see such a good talent be ruined. Thus, his words contained a hint of admonishment, hoping that Zhang Yan would listen to him and take back this ridiculous idea.
Zhang Yan pretended not to understand and said with a frown, "Elder Xun, this is a matter between me and Senior Brother Xiao. I hope you won't interfere!"
Elder Xun snorted and thought to himself, "Looks like I, Daoren, have played the good guy for nothing."
He was not angry, but shook his head and sighed. He looked at Zhang Yan with great pity and retreated to the side.
The Wang sisters and the others who were watching the battle clearly saw the situation through the silver mirror. Previously, when they saw that Zhang Yan had won two rounds in a row, they were all elated. Now that their Master was going to fight Xiao Sha again, they naturally held their breath and watched nervously.
But after hearing the words of Zhang Yan and Xiao Sha, they did not feel anything, but Qi Mengjiao's expression changed greatly. She stamped her foot and said anxiously, "Not good, how can Martial Uncle Zhang be so unwise!"
The Wang sisters jumped in fright.
Liu Yanyi's heart also tightened, but she maintained a calm face and said, "Senior Sister Qi, what's wrong?"
Qi Mengjiao's expression was solemn. She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "You don't know, but Xiao Sha is proficient in a remarkable ability called 'Nine Mountains Voiceless Sound'. This is one of the twelve remarkable abilities of the sect. If this sound is released, rivers will break, clouds will stop, eagles and geese will fall, and mountains will collapse. That day, this person relied on this technique to shatter a mountain into powder. Those who fight with him, if touched by this remarkable ability, will immediately have their bones and tendons broken and their abdomens pierced. There has never been an exception!"
