On the side of the Hawkwolf Guard, Yan Xixin did not use any fancy moves. He wore a set of shining heavy armour, wielding a sword in one hand and a tower shield in the other to protect himself.
The surrounding environment had already gone from a desert to a glacier. Over thirty meters below him was a thick layer of ice, clearly to restrict the scarred man's earth element techniques.
If the scarred man wanted to use earth element techniques in an environment like this, not only would he have to expend a tremendous amount of spiritual qi, but the effects would also be nowhere near as good as in the vast desert. Even the rate at which he recovered his spiritual qi was slightly slower, so he could only attack with the Earth Shattering Hammer of the Eight Directions in his hand.
The sky was filled with snow as fierce winds whistled. The Earth Shattering Hammer of the Eight Directions tore through the wind and moon as it shot over. Not only was it fierce, but it was also startlingly fast under the control of the scarred man's soul sense and brute force.
Yan Xixin's body slid to the left, but he was still unable to avoid the large attack range of the giant hammer. He tilted the tower shield in his hand slightly, and with a loud bang, icicles filled the air on his right side. The icicles were as sharp as knives, and they ruthlessly cut his body. Fortunately, his armor blocked the icicles.
The scarred man felt his chest tighten. A force was repelled, landing on his body.
Not only did the tower shield in Yan Xixin's hand block most of his attack, but it even repelled a small portion of it. Originally, this was not much of an injury to him, but when Yan Xixin blocked the attack, he immediately swung out with a flash of his sword.
Blood sprayed out from the scarred man's shoulder. He roared out furiously. This small wound was nothing, but this battle was extremely frustrating. He seemed to have gained the upper hand, but he was unavoidably sliding into the abyss of defeat bit by bit.
He was extremely experienced in battle. He purposefully exposed openings many times to bait Yan Xixin into attacking, but Yan Xixin fought steadily, completely unfazed. However, as soon as he tried to recover, Yan Xixin immediately closed in.
The scarred man swung the Earth Shattering Hammer of the Eight Directions more and more fiercely, but everyone outside could tell that victory had already been decided. This was Yan Xixin's counterattack strategy. Although it was conservative, it was very stable, and it was extremely effective against the opponent's tactics. Its consumption was also much lower than the opponent's.
Si Qing said, "Yanying, this is the trump card you've trained, right?"
"I'm not really good at this."
Gu Yanying glanced at Si Bao with a smile. She was the true master of dueling. Originally, she did not expect Li Qingshan to return at this time. Of course, she had a good chance of winning by arranging for Qian Rongzhi and the other two. Only then would he agree to this duel.
Wei Ke's crushing defeat had indeed surprised her, but thankfully she had Qian Rongzhi to make up for it. The real trump card was actually Yan Xixin. And with Li Qingshan as a layer of protection, he could sit back and relax. He believed that even if this guy had to fight one against four, he wouldn't lose.
Si Bao mocked, "Si Qing. It's been so many years, but you're still such an amateur when it comes to duels. Knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and being able to attack and defend is the way of the king. A strategy like this that shows off temporarily can only win against weaker opponents. Once your attacks are thwarted, you can only admit defeat obediently. "
Li Qingshan deeply agreed. In his previous life, there was a saying in the world of football that "offense wins the fans, and defense wins the championship". Although fierce attacks seemed intense and exciting, fighting steadily and steadily was often the key to victory.
He also secretly reflected on the way he had always fought. Had he favoured the claws and fangs of the Tiger Demon too much, and overlooked the profound shell of the spirit turtle? When facing opponents of similar strength, it would often be very difficult to achieve victory with a forceful attack. It would require more defence and patience.
Si Qing sneered, "Blindly pursuing victory has already deviated from the true way of duels. I've never taken your title as a Dragon Gladiator seriously. And, don't boast right now. The true victor hasn't been decided yet! "
However, before long. Yan Xixin won the battle, but with his method of fighting. It was obviously impossible for him to take the enemy's life. Just this alone made Si Qing dislike it. When Qian Rongzhi killed one of his capable subordinates, he instead praised her with great joy, but now that the scarred man had emerged alive, he showed no joy at all. He disapproved of Yan Xixin even more.
Li Qingshan snickered inside, I couldn't tell, but this guy is so hot-blooded in this aspect. He even dares to speak about the way of duels!
Unbeknownst to him, many people in the Dragon province were actually like that. Duels had already gained a sense of sacredness. There were actually not a lot of people who were as unscrupulous as Si Bao in seeking victory.
The venue for the third battle had already been changed to an extremely gloomy, dense forest. Tall trees rose into the air one by one, like skyscrapers. They were unbelievably tall and thick. Their dark green, broad leaves blotted out the sun.
The ground was completely covered by roots. Aerial roots drooped down from above. Long, emerald-green vines coiled around the trees, moving through the milk-like, white mist like dragons and snakes. And, if one paid close attention, they would discover that they were actually wriggling.
Li Qingshan had witnessed the luxuriance of tropical rainforests in his past life, but compared to this dense forest, it was basically the difference between a child and a giant.
Under the cover of the mist and shadows, the skinny dwarf cultivator moved through the forest like the wind. Not only did he conceal his aura, but he had also completely merged with his surroundings.
If it were not for the fact that he was watching from the sidelines and had his gaze locked onto the fighter the entire time, he probably would have lost sight of him from a moment of carelessness. Perhaps it was the effects of the arcane artifacts on him, the wonders of his cultivation method, or perhaps it was a combination of both.
Without a doubt, an environment like this was heaven right now, and this dwarf was the strongest assassin.
"I specially gathered this rainforest from the Mist province. It contains a portion of the Banyan Tree King's roots," Si Qing said proudly.
The value of the Dragon Arena did not lie in itself. Instead, it lay in the collection of special, special battlegrounds. It was like a stamp collector, collecting precious stamps one by one. It was endless fun.
The Banyan Tree King!
Li Qingshan was shocked. He had heard of the name of the greatest Daemon King of the Mist province, one of the Ten Daemon Kings, for a very long time now. Si Qing had actually gathered its roots with just him.
Si Bao said, "You're just taking advantage of the tree king's peaceful nature. Since you've come to the Green province now, are you bold enough to touch a single scale of the dragon king?"
Gu Yanying took a sip of wine and smiled as well. "The roots of the tree kings stretch for thousands of kilometers. Who knows how many creatures reside in them, so it's nothing strange for them to be able to collect one or two roots. However, since there's a spiritual item like that, this arena won't be a normal arena."
"That's right. If you can find the Banyan Tree King's roots and absorb its sap, you'll be able to rapidly recover your spiritual qi, and you'll be in high spirits as if you've just stepped into the battleground."
Conversations outside could not be transmitted into the Dragon Arena, but Si Qing's words echoed clearly through the rainforest, letting the two fighters know and ensuring the fairness of the battle.
Li Qingshan was even more shocked. Although banyan trees had the beautiful reputation of "a single tree that formed a forest", just how large was this Banyan Tree King that stretched for thousands of kilometers?
He frowned. "Isn't that unfair? The forest is so dense, so your people will obviously be extremely familiar with the Banyan Tree King's roots, but how are we supposed to distinguish them?"
"As long as you have eyes, you won't be able to miss them."
Si Qing laughed aloud. With a wave of his hand, the scene broke away from the two fighters and rose into the air, overlooking the entire rainforest of the Mist province. A colossal tree leapt out from the boundless sea of trees. It was actually much taller than those huge trees that resembled skyscrapers. Its crown was like a cloud, blotting out the sun. It was because of it that the rainforest seemed so gloomy.
E Dan sneered. "Country bumpkin!"
Li Qingshan could not be bothered to bicker with him. He stared at the colossal tree with widened eyes and thought, If this thing is called a root, then what's the main body? He found it even more difficult to imagine just how majestic the Banyan Tree King's figure was.
The key to the outcome of this duel was clearly to see who could obtain the most sap from this "root".
Yan Xixin flew out of the sea of trees as quickly as possible, determining his direction and hurrying towards the colossal tree in the centre of the sea of trees. The dwarf moved through the dense forest, moving even faster. He arrived near the colossal tree, but he did not approach it. Instead, he hid in the path that Yan Xixin had to pass through, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
Si Qing continued, "Although the Banyan Tree King's roots are peaceful, unable to retaliate even if they're damaged, the sun vines on him aren't that easy to deal with."
Yan Xixin shivered inside. Sure enough, he saw withered, yellow vines coiling around the colossal tree. Apart from being extremely thick, they were not particularly eye-catching. However, in the rainforest of the Mist province that stretched for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, there was no lack of vicious carnivorous plants, but the sun vines were the most notorious.
If a cultivator was entangled by one, their entire body would be paralyzed. In the blink of an eye, all of their cultivation would be gone, followed by all of their essence blood. It was rumored that in the end, even their souls would be unable to escape, forever bound to the sun vines.
These sun vines only grew on the roots of the Banyan Tree King, and only the Banyan Tree King could be parasitized by them for extended periods of time. Any other tree that was entangled by them would wither and die very quickly.
Just as Yan Xixin pondered, a black figure shot out from the sea of trees, moving as quickly as lightning. He had been secretly vigilant the entire time, so he immediately blocked with his huge shield. With a clang, the two of them brushed past each other, and a mark appeared on the tower shield.
Alarmed, he thought, This dwarf is too fast. I actually can't predict his attack in time, so I can't redirect his attack and repel it.
The two of them clashed in the air. The dwarf's attacks were sharp, but Yan Xixin maintained a stable defence, so he would not be defeated so easily. He thought, He'll always be a little more draining than me to maintain this kind of speed and attack.
However, after a moment, the dwarf suddenly turned around and shot towards the towering tree. The withered yellow vines suddenly came to life and crazily extended towards the dwarf. In an instant, it was as if dragons and snakes were dancing chaotically.
The dwarf used his startling speed to weave through the crazed sun vines. He was almost caught many times, so he would suddenly shrink back. Just Now, he dodged.
His body had always been different from normal people, so when he shrank back like that, he was like a ball, catapulting onto the colossal tree. There was a flash in his hand, and the thick bark was ripped open. A stream of green sap splashed out, landing in his mouth. He immediately roused with vigour, and his spiritual qi recovered. He catapulted out again, distancing himself from the colossal tree to fight with Yan Xixin.
From beginning to end, he did not stop for a single moment.
