Chapter 147 Reaching the Summit
Xiao Weiqing remained calm and swung his fire blade in the backhand, severing it in two.
He immediately turned sideways and dodged the fierce punch from Crystal Beast No. 3.
The punch slammed into the tree, causing the ground to shake violently.
"Fire Owl!"
The pillar of fire, carrying a large amount of intense heat, arrived instantly and slammed into the head of Crystal Beast No. 3, causing it to stagger.
"Flame Dragon!"
A giant dragon flew out from behind, knocking the No. 3 crystal beast away. Then Xiao Weiqing leaped up and slashed down fiercely with the Crimson Dragon in his hand.
"Infinite Slash!"
The forty-meter-long blade of energy seemed poised to cleave the entire forest in two.
"drink!"
Crystal Beast No. 3 clasped its hands together, trying to catch the long sword, but unexpectedly, the sword flashed and left an afterimage in mid-air, and the force of the sword energy had already broken through its body.
It was embedded more than half a meter deep into the crystal.
"hold head high!"
Yanlong bit his arm.
"Click!! Click!"
The crystalline arm, as thick as a water bucket, began to crack.
Crystal Beast No. 3 was terrified.
It sensed the aura of death. If it were to be killed here, its strength would be greatly reduced, and it would soon be replaced by other crystal beasts.
"snort!"
Crystal Beast No. 3 gritted its teeth, twisted its body, and forcefully tore off its arm. Its figure retreated explosively and disappeared into a crystal tree that was five meters thick.
Xiao Weiqing landed on the ground, flicked his finger, and a few wisps of Samadhi True Fire floated onto his severed arm.
Silently, in just a few seconds, the entire crystal arm was burned to ashes.
"Bang!"
He slashed at the crystal tree with his sword, but the tree was completely unharmed. However, the shock made Xiao Weiqing's hand go numb. The crystal tree was far harder than he had imagined.
Xiao Weiqing put away the half of the Crimson Dragon and said:
"Crystal Beast No. 3, you are a worthy opponent."
"Please thank Number 998 for me. If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't have known that the Crystal Forest had such a powerful crystal beast as you."
then.
Xiao Weiqing arrived at the center smoothly and looked at the transparent walkway in mid-air.
Meanwhile, Crystal Beast No. 3 revealed its enormous head, and after confirming that Xiao Weiqing had left, it walked back in the direction Xiao Weiqing had come from with a hint of malice.
......
Below the Wanxiang Plank Road.
Without hesitation, Xiao Weiqing leaped onto the plank road.
Click....
"Um?"
Xiao Weiqing's pupils contracted.
The crystal steps beneath my feet showed signs of cracking.
"No way!"
Xiao Weiqing took off and rushed forward.
really.
The walkway behind us began to collapse, and the crystals beneath our feet kept falling off.
Not daring to linger, Xiao Weiqing increased his speed and continued to climb along the spiral crystal walkway.
"Brother Qing, wait for me."
"David?"
Xiao Weiqing turned around and saw Dawei.
"Hurry up!~"
"what!"
Suddenly, Zhang Dawei lost his footing and slipped down.
Xiao Weiqing turned around and grabbed Dawei's hand, but it was just a blur. He staggered and almost fell.
"Damn, it's an illusion!"
Seeing that the broken crystal had collapsed beneath his feet, Xiao Weiqing no longer hesitated and ran forward at full speed.
"Brother Qing, come over here quickly."
On the other side, Wei Lan waved from a fork in the road.
Xiao Weiqing looked at the girl he hadn't seen in a long time, paused for a moment, but ignored her and continued running forward.
"You brat, what are you doing over there? Where's my Mind Fruit?"
Illusions kept appearing on both sides of the plank road, confusing Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing activated his mental shield, ignoring everything else and focusing solely on charging forward.
I don't know how long I ran like that.
at last.
Xiao Weiqing passed through the clouds, and his view suddenly opened up.
"Ding!~"
"Clang~"
The sounds of battle erupted overhead!
Xiao Weiqing leaped onto the platform and arrived at a square.
on the square.
There were eight people in total.
Four of them split into two groups and stood on either side.
Three others are currently attacking Dongfang Xuan.
One person wielded two swords, another was engulfed in flames, and yet another was a towering figure with the phantom of a samurai behind him.
at this time.
Dongfang Xuan, wielding a black and gold spear, maneuvered among the three, but he was outnumbered and forced to retreat.
"Dongfang Xuan, you're finished."
"Ye Tianming, you think you can take me on?"
Behind Ye Tianming, a person was engulfed in flames and waved his hands.
"Ring of Fire!"
Five fire rings, each nearly ten feet in diameter, flew toward Dongfang Xuan, continuously shrinking as they flew.
Dongfang Xuan was entangled by the other two and unable to break free; he was about to be bound by the fire ring.
"Wow, it's so lively here. Dongfang Xuan, do you need any help?"
Dongfang Xuan knew who it was without even turning around.
What do you think?
"Okay, let's join in the fun."
"Fire Owl!"
A three-foot-diameter pillar of flame instantly struck the ring of fire above Dongfang Xuan's head.
"Hmph, where did this brat come from? He doesn't know his place and doesn't take my Xuanhuang Stone Fire seriously."
"That's like showing off your limited skills before an expert!"
Boom! ~~
Just one strike.
The five rings of fire vanished in an instant.
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
Without wasting words, Xiao Weiqing slashed out with his sword, the blade energy arriving instantly, and the youth, whose body was engulfed in flames, was sent flying.
Ye Tianming, wielding two swords, narrowed his eyes. "Qu Yan has a level 6 extraordinary talent and possesses a strange fire. How could he be defeated by some unknown kid?"
Without Qu Yan, it would be difficult for him and Taniguchi Takuo to defeat Dongfang Xuan.
He couldn't help but say, "Yun Xi, Chu Xu, why aren't you making a move?"
"Are you confident you can outcompete Dongfang Xuan in the upcoming assessments?"
The two people on the Vermilion Bird Empire's side were Yun Xi and Xie Sheng.
The two exchanged a glance and, surprisingly, took a step back simultaneously, making their stance clear.
"Cough...cough...The Vermilion Bird Kingdom has always maintained good relations with the Great Xia Kingdom."
"You agree, right, Yunxi?"
Yunxi nodded slightly in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xu of Xuanwu Kingdom frowned slightly and said to the girl beside him:
"Fu Xiaoling, what do you think?"
"Regardless, you are a magic cultivator, and I am a spiritual cultivator. Dongfang Xuan has no direct conflict with us, and the two people from the Vermilion Bird Empire seem to be quite wary of this newcomer."
"Given Yunxi's strength, she doesn't want to get involved in the conflict between the Great Xia and the Tianlang Empire. It's best for us to wait and see. As for Taniguchi Takuo, everyone knows that Sakura Prefecture is determined to be independent. It would be best if he died here."
Chu Xu nodded and took a step back, just like Fu Xiaoling, indicating that he would not interfere.
the other side.
Xiao Weiqing forced the Fire Man into a series of defeats.
Although Dongfang Xuan was still unable to escape the siege of Ye Tianming and Taniguchi Takuo without Qu Yan's ranged attacks, the pressure was greatly reduced.
"Buzz..."
At this time.
At the end of the square, the palace gates opened.
A young Taoist boy emerged, with a baby face and a sleepy look.
On the other side...
Xia Mo and Teng Hai from Da Xia also arrived at the square.
"Whoosh! ~ Whoosh~"
More and more geniuses are taking to the square.
Unable to subdue Dongfang Xuan in a short time, Ye Tianming and Gu Gu Takuo had no choice but to give up.
In contrast, Xiao Weiqing cleaved Qu Yan to the ground with a few blows. If other geniuses from Tianlang hadn't arrived, Xiao Weiqing would have killed him.
This is the end.
The four groups of people in the square were locked in a stalemate.
Da Xia Yifang, Xiao Weiqing, Dongfang Xuan, Xia Mo, Teng Hai, Lü Heguang, Luo Dechang.
The Vermilion Bird Empire, Yun Xi, Xie Sheng, and a member of the Ruan family named Ruan Dong.
The Tianlang Empire, Ye Tianming, Qu Yan, and three others, including a big guy and a pair of twin sisters, were the ones who just blocked Xiao Weiqing.
Xuanwu Kingdom has the largest population. In addition to Chu Xu, Fu Xiaoling, and Taniguchi Takuo from the beginning, four more geniuses have arrived.
Xiao Weiqing retreated to the Great Xia camp and asked:
"Just the few of us? Ren Jie didn't come up either?"
"We probably encountered one of the top ten numbered crystal beasts, got stopped, and now it's probably just us left."
Teng Hai said, "We can't worry about that now. The assessment is about to begin, and that young Taoist seems to be waiting for something."
