After laughing, Si Qing's expression turned cold again. He tilted his head slightly. The burly man covered in scars stepped into the Dragon Arena, and the first thing he did was to fly up, standing with his arms crossed as he looked down from above.
Because Qian Rongzhi's colorful snakes originated from hell, they existed between reality and illusion, making them very difficult to detect with the soul sense of cultivators. They were great weapons for sneak attacks and assassinations, but they were still visible to the naked eye. As long as the opponent was a certain distance away, they would not be as useful.
At this moment, the surroundings twisted and changed, going from an undulating desert to a boundless desert. Brownish-Yellow hills stood in the desert, dyed red by the setting sun.
Qian Rongzhi sat on one of the hills and set up the three defensive arcane artifacts. She sat down with her legs crossed, regulating her breathing and recovering.
The scarred man spread his fingers and aimed at Qian Rongzhi, clenching them firmly.
Rumble. The hills below Qian Rongzhi began to tremble, collapsing loudly. Qian Rongzhi hovered in the air. Suddenly, a huge, earthen-yellow hand reached towards her from below. It came from the collapsed hills.
Qian Rongzhi was unfazed. She watched as the five fingers closed and clenched tightly. The small, rhombus-shaped shields on the outermost layer shone with resplendent light, but the screen of light constantly twisted under the pressure of the huge, earthen beast.
She was like a firefly in the hand of a child, shining futilely and about to be extinguished at any time.
However, this time, she focused on her defences, placing all of her focus on the three defensive arcane artifacts. Although there was a difference of two cultivation realms between them, defensive arcane artifacts could not be destroyed so easily with just a single technique.
The scarred man gave a hideous grin and took out an octagonal hammer with a long handle.
Gu Yanying said, "A high-grade magic tool! With your subordinate's cultivation, it would be difficult for him to activate a high-grade magic tool! "
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, controlling a mid-grade magic artifact was already the limit. Even if one were to forcibly refine high-grade and supreme-grade artifacts, one would not be able to unleash their true power. It would be like a child wielding a broadsword. Forcefully using it would damage one's Spiritual Sense.
Si Qing smiled, "If he wants to wield this Earth-shattering Hammer of the Eight Directions, he won't be relying entirely on his soul sense. Yanying, you'll understand when you keep watching."
Gu Yanying smiled, but she didn't say anything. She thought to herself, Sure enough, it's just as Si Bao expected. His personality is still like this. Even without Qing Shan, it wouldn't be difficult for me to win three rounds against him.
The outcome of the duel. Even though it depended on the cultivator's own strength, choosing a suitable environment, arcane artifacts, and battle tactics was also very important. Si Qing was vicious, so the arcane artifacts he gave to his warriors were all powerful. He pursued a sure-kill with a single strike.
The scarred man raised the Earth-shattering Hammer of the Eight Directions high above his head and began to swing it. With each swing, the handle of the hammer would grow longer and the head of the hammer would grow larger.
With the swish of the wind, an earthen-yellow tornado rushed into the air, kicking up sand and dust into the air. Even the setting sun became a dim yellow.
As it turned out, not only was the scarred man's cultivation extraordinary, but he was also a powerful Practitioner of the Body. Using his brute force and spiritual sense, he could wield the Earth-shattering Hammer of the Eight Directions with both of them, which allowed him to unleash startling power.
In the tornado, the scarred man's figure blurred and vanished. The Earth-shattering Hammer of the Eight Directions suddenly stopped spinning, but the tornado continued to whistle. A huge, octagonal hammer extended out, smashing towards Qian Rongzhi. It seemed like the world was collapsing. It was terrifying.
Taking advantage of Qian Rongzhi's immobility, he pushed the power of the move to the limit. If he wanted to break through her three layers of defense in one go, he would definitely smash her into minced meat.
Qian Rongzhi's expression did not change. She was not surprised or afraid, and she said three words indifferently.
Boom!
With a loud boom, the earth shook violently. A shock wave raised a hundred feet of smoke and dust, spreading into the distance. At the same time, cracks spread in all directions.
After a long time, the smoke and dust Just Now subsided.
The scarred man's face was unnaturally flushed. His expression was distorted, and he looked even more ferocious. His chest rose and fell as he panted heavily. However, it was not because of the consumption of this move. He stared at the unscathed Qian Rongzhi.
At the last moment, that earth-shattering hammer smashed into a place several feet away from her. The aftermath alone was not enough to break through her protective magic tools.
Qian Rongzhi simply put away her three protective magic tools, leaving her in a completely unprotected state. As long as the scarred man casually used a spell, he would be able to heavily injure her. However, he could only watch as she turned around and left.
Qian Rongzhi said three words: "I admit defeat!"
Although the duel was bloody and cruel, it was not always a life and death battle. Otherwise, no matter how many geniuses there were, they would not be able to withstand this kind of consumption. Often, as long as one side admitted defeat, the duel would be considered over. However, the other side absolutely could not kill. Otherwise, it would be violating the iron rules of the duel, and they would face extremely severe punishment. It was not uncommon for them to pay with their lives.
If the scarred man had already used this move, in a state where he was unable to control it, it would be too late for Qian Rongzhi to admit defeat. She could only lose her life in vain. However, she just happened to stop at the moment when he had accumulated his power to the limit and was about to use it.
The scarred man had struggled to control this move in the first place. If he had used it as an extension, it would have been fine, but he had forcefully changed his move at the last moment. His arms burned with pain, and his chest felt suffocated. He had already suffered internal injuries. His unstoppable presence had decreased drastically as well.
Although Li Qingshan had always looked down on her as a person, he could not help but cheer for her inside at this moment. Although these actions seemed simple, they required a meticulous control over the rules and the mind, as well as the ability to remain unfazed no matter what happened. If Wei Ke had even half of her willpower, he would not have died here.
Qian Rongzhi made her way out of the Dragon Arena and bowed towards Gu Yanying. "Fortunately, I did not fail!"
Gu Yanying smiled. "Very good." Si Bao also felt even more admiration towards Gu Yanying's ability to see through people.
"Yanying, this subordinate sure is extraordinary. She only used a single move from beginning to end, yet one of my two experts died and the other was injured, while she herself was completely unscathed, leaving calmly. I wonder if she already has a master. I do want to take her on as a disciple, so I wonder if Yanying is willing to part with her?"
Si Qing was not particularly interested in women. Instead, he was particularly fond of powerful warriors who were skilled in battle. He was rather interested in Qian Rongzhi.
Although Qian Rongzhi had exposed her great secret, she had also demonstrated willpower that far exceeded ordinary people, gaining everyone's recognition. There were gains and losses.
Gu Yanying nodded slightly at the White Wolf guard, Yan Xixin. Yan Xixin immediately entered the Dragon Arena under orders to take on the scarred man, not giving him any time to catch his breath. Only afterwards did she focus on Si Qing's suggestion.
"Don't even think about it. She'll be taking me on as her master!"
Before Gu Yanying had even said anything, Si Bao cut Si Qing off. Not only did she want to make him lose face, but after Just Now, she had gained a whole new level of respect for Qian Rongzhi as well.
There had always been far fewer female cultivators in the world than male cultivators. Even if they had some talent, they were limited by their nature. Their courage and willpower would often be lacking as well, so it was even rarer for them to reach Qian Rongzhi's level, so she also wanted to take on a disciple to play around with.
Qian Rongzhi immediately dropped to her knees and kowtowed to Si Bao. "Thank you for your kindness, commander. I've always wanted to take you as my master."
At the same time, she calculated inside, I was planning on finding a suitable master in the first place, so it'll be much easier for me on the path of cultivation, and I'll be able to make use of even more resources. Right now is a perfect opportunity. As long as I can establish a connection with her, Gu Yanying won't be able to target me too much, and I'll have another layer of protection for my safety. And, Si Bao will be much easier to deal with than Gu Yanying. Not only will I gain a lot of benefits for free, but I'll be able to get closer to Gu Yanying as well.
"Hehe, I've never taken in a disciple before! Since you're so thoughtful, Rongzhi, then come and be my first disciple! "
Qian Rongzhi's face stiffened and her hairs stood on end, as the person who said that was not Si Bao, but Gu Yanying.
Si Bao was stuck to Gu Yanying, while Qian Rongzhi had referred to her as commander. Gu Yanying's words seemed very logical, as if Qian Rongzhi had always wanted to take her as her master.
Gu Yanying smiled as she looked at Qian Rongzhi who was kowtowing before her. She teased, "What's wrong, my good disciple? Why don't you get up?"
"I- disciple is just too happy. Master, you've taken me under your wing, so disciple definitely won't disappoint you." Qian Rongzhi slowly raised her head and looked at Gu Yanying's smiling face. She revealed an extremely sincere expression, but her face was rather pale.
Gu Yanying laughed involuntarily. That was not because she was moved, but because she found it extremely novel and interesting. Instead of saying that her sharp gaze was looking at her disciple, it would be better to say that she was looking at something special.
Si Qing said, "Congratulations, Gu Yanying. You've accepted such a good disciple. With some nurturing, she'll definitely become an outstanding figure in the future."
"That won't be wrong." Gu Yanying stared straight at Qian Rongzhi and smiled.
The Hawkwolf guards all congratulated Qian Rongzhi enviously. Who knew how many young, talented men and women in the Ruyi commandery had once wanted to take Gu Yanying as their master, but she had turned them all down firmly. Qian Rongzhi's master was basically a free lunch that had fallen from the heavens.
Qian Rongzhi was left dizzy by this free lunch. She wanted to get closer to her and wait for an opportunity for revenge, but she never thought she would have to get close to her to such an extent. To the current her, this was far too dangerous.
She was like a small snake that had been caught by a great eagle, only able to play around with it. Once she tried to bite back, the sharp claws would loosen, and she would be crushed to pieces.
Si Bao was confused. Gu Yanying had once said that she did not plan on taking on a disciple in her life and would focus on cultivation, so why did she suddenly change her mind? This Qian Rongzhi was very impressive, but she was not particularly outstanding. At the very least, she was nowhere close to the greatest disciple of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga who shook up the entire Green province.
Gu Yanying rubbed Si Bao's smooth cheeks with a smile, but she did not say anything. With Si Bao's personality, it was impossible for her to turn down Qian Rongzhi's bow, and this game was a little too dangerous for her.
Just like how she competed with the White Lotus Mother in the past, having a disciple like her was rather interesting.
During this time, the battle between the two cultivators in the Dragon Arena had already become more and more intense, approaching white-hot.
