After the battle in front of the treasury started, the guards of the entire armory started to move. They gathered towards the treasury from all directions. People flooded in.
Wei Yan charged out with his blade as though he was going against the flow.
In order to not leak the news, none of the guards of the armory knew about this operation. Only Wei Yan was hiding here.
He alone was enough.
More experts were scattered throughout the city. As the master of the city, Wei Quji used the Nether Candle as bait, but he could not place all the people of Maplewood City in danger.
Fortunately, the Three Cities Dao Debate had attracted a large number of people, and the practice field was safe. This greatly reduced the pressure on defense.
The city guard that met Wei Yan turned and followed behind him without a word. Wei Yan said casually, "Stay here, don't leave."
While the Nether Candle was taken away, the armory was still the most important.
Two city guard soldiers were still guarding the door of the armory. Of course, they heard the commotion inside the armory, but before they received orders, the door was their post.
They were already on high alert, but when a streak of blood light swam out along the wall, they were still completely unaware.
At this time, a well-dressed young master walked past with a folding fan. He waved his sleeve as though he was shaking away the dust. The bloody snake disappeared.
The young master walked forward until he reached the end of the street. He passed by a clothing store and passed by a peddler carrying a load at the corner.
Walking on Xuanwu Street, he was relaxed and even hummed a tune.
Two city guard experts swept past him and hacked an exposed evil cultivator to death right behind him.
The young master seemed to be unaware and walked further and further away.
"Stop!" one of the city guard experts shouted.
This young master was too calm and aroused his suspicion.
The young master's back was facing the two city guard experts. His mouth slowly pulled up into a snarl.
He was about to go crazy on the street when he suddenly heard the sound of a long blade cutting through the air.
"Quick Snow!" His eyes widened as he lowered his head to look at the long and straight blade that was slowly disappearing from his chest as it was pulled out.
The blade was called Quick Snow, and the person was called Wei Yan.
Perhaps because he already understood that death was inevitable, he did not ask how he was discovered and how he was caught.
The fear in his eyes faded and was gradually replaced by a kind of fanaticism. He smiled proudly, "The thing … is not with me!"
Wei Yan withdrew his saber and left.
At this moment, the peddler carrying the load was already walking on the Greenwood Avenue. His two bamboo baskets were covered with a piece of sackcloth, swaying leisurely on his shoulders.
In one of the bamboo baskets, there was a strange item among the miscellaneous items. It was a small, pitch-black candle.
…
On the spectator stands, Dong A and Wei Quji were watching the battle, but no one knew that their attention was not on the battle.
To Wei Quji, he was more concerned about the trap he had set up in the city today. It was a very simple bait trap, but the effect was outstanding because of the perfect execution.
On one hand, Dong A was more concerned about the safety of Maplewood City than the outcome of the Three City Dao Discussion. On the other hand, he had a certain level of confidence in Zhang Linchuan. Even after Lin Zhengren displayed the strength of a Sixth Stage cultivator, he still did not waver.
The two great figures standing at the top of Maplewood City only spoke in each other's ears.
Wei Quji sneered, "Seeing the Dark Abyss Candle is like a dog seeing a bone. Those fellows are indeed demons of the White Bone Path!"
The Dark Abyss Candle was a treasure of the Netherworld, and it was something left behind by the White Bone Path. Wei Quji deliberately took out the Dark Abyss Candle to verify his guess.
Dong A frowned. "The White Bone Path's orthodoxy has been destroyed for 200 years. Back then, the great ancestor purged it for nine years and has long been wiped out. There are still remnants left to this day? "
"A centipede dies but does not fall down."
…
Lin Zhengren defeated Fu Baosong effortlessly. The next battle was between him and Zhang Linchuan.
Zhang Linchuan did not put down his hand that was covering his mouth. He frowned and said, "Can you clean up this place first before fighting?"
Previously, he had completely crushed his opponent, so it was fine to end the battle quickly. Now that he was fighting Lin Zhengren, he would definitely not be able to care about anything else.
There was a dedicated sparring venue in the Dao Academy, but Maplewood City's Dao Academy could not accommodate so many spectators. The square outside the City Lord's Mansion had no formation runes engraved on it.
The arena where they fought had long been beaten to a pulp. The floor tiles were shattered, mud and water mixed together, and there were many potholes. Coupled with the blood of some people, it could be said that it was a scene of devastation.
Zhang Linchuan frowned deeply. "This battle environment is really dirty."
Dong A did not even raise his eyelids. "If you say another word of nonsense, I'll throw you into a cesspool for three days."
Zhang Linchuan immediately put away the handkerchief and smiled very politely at the referee. "You may begin."
At the referee's order, Lin Zhengren strode forward.
A sudden clap of thunder rang out.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Lin Zhengren's body was like a rolling wave.
Behind him, there were already three deep, scorched craters.
Zhang Linchuan had many problems. One could say that he was mysophobic, fastidious, afraid of trouble, and did things his own way.
However, one could not deny that he was strong.
Everyone knew that the thunder method was fierce, but how many could really control it freely?
The two instantaneous Taoist techniques that Lin Zhengren engraved in the Tongtian Palace were the Three Layers of Waves and the Vine Snake Coiling the Wall. He did not choose to defend at first, but chose to move. Naturally, it was to … attack!
A seed broke out of the ground, and the bud opened. Its sharp teeth were like hooks. It bit down!
The low-grade second-class Taoist technique, Flower of Carnivorous.
Zhang Linchuan floated over lightly and threw a thunder ball into the mouth of the flower. He jumped up and made a gesture above the burnt corpse of the Flower of Carnivorous.
Dark clouds and thunder were faintly visible.
Roar!
A Water Dragon Wave roared out, but it did not attack Zhang Linchuan. Instead, it waved its tail and directly blew up the dark clouds.
A mist of water exploded in the sky, and lightning flashed continuously before dispersing.
This scene was so beautiful that it attracted the admiration of the spectators.
However, the Taoist technique that Zhang Linchuan had carefully prepared dissipated.
The most significant difference between the strong cultivators who opened the gate of heaven and earth and those below the seventh class was that they could start to master A-class Taoist techniques.
Some talented cultivators, such as Wang Zhangxiang and Zhang Linchuan, had already mastered some A-class Taoist techniques before reaching the sixth class. Then, could the gap be closed? What was the difference between them and the strong cultivators who opened the gate of heaven and earth?
Lin Zhengren gave the answer.
The strong cultivators who opened the gate of heaven and earth could almost merge with heaven and earth. They could see the flow of heaven and earth Qi and immediately see the loopholes of Taoist techniques.
This was reflected in the battle when they defeated the powerful Taoist technique that Zhang Linchuan was still preparing.
But that was not all.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Lin Zhengren appeared in front of Zhang Linchuan.
Only then did everyone notice that he was still stepping on a Water Dragon Wave. He actually stepped on this offensive Taoist technique and completed the close distance!
After opening the gate of heaven and earth, he had a new understanding of all Taoist techniques. He greatly shortened the time to make gestures and could also quickly develop other changes.
Zhang Linchuan was still in the air, but Lin Zhengren's hand was already on his body.
The outcome seemed to be decided.
