Five days later, the fifth and final round of the Blue Maple Sect’s inner sect competition finally arrived.
Fourteen elite disciples of the inner sect's foundation-building period, led by the leader Dou Yunzi, came to the back mountain of the Blue Maple Sect.
The back mountain is a vast mountain forest, which is very quiet on weekdays and there is no danger at all.
However, the strong men of the inner sect of the Blue Maple Sect have already carved out a hundred miles of forbidden land in this mountain forest and placed many places in the forbidden land. The appearance of the back mountain has been greatly changed, and monsters and ferocious beasts can be faintly heard.
The roaring sound revealed bursts of dangerous energy.
Looking around, there is a lot of fog in the forbidden area, but the fog is just formed by water vapor and has no special function. It is just used to mark the scope of this forbidden area. Whoever walks out of this foggy area will end the last round of competition.
.
No matter whether you walk out on your own, are rescued, or are beaten out by other sect members, you cannot enter this foggy forbidden land again.
After telling the rules again, the leader Dou Yunzi waved his sleeves and said: "The competition has officially begun."
The fourteen inner sect elites rushed towards the foggy area together and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Outside this foggy area, there are powerful men from the Blue Maple Sect stationed on all sides, spreading their spiritual consciousness to observe the situation within the foggy area.
Especially the two Nascent Soul stage masters, they have insight into everything within this hundred-mile area. After all, everything inside is arranged by them themselves.
Following the advice of Master Shi Ling, Ling Tian, Shi Yuyan, and Lu Yongshan gathered together and headed towards the depths of the forbidden area.
The fog here will not confuse the mind, nor will it interfere with everyone's thoughts, but it will only slightly obstruct the line of sight.
The eyesight of monks in the foundation-building stage is still relatively strong, and they can completely penetrate the fog and see far away.
The range of a hundred miles is neither too big nor too small.
If allowed to gallop, a hundred miles is not a vast area for monks in the foundation building period. However, there are many dangers in these hundreds of miles. We do not dare to run wildly. We must always be cautious and step by step. This hundred miles is a small area.
It seems vast.
What's more, only fourteen people came in.
There is no time limit for this round of competition, but the area shrouded in fog will gradually shrink, and everyone's range of activities will also shrink. No one can safely hide somewhere in the forbidden area all the time.
call
Not long after I entered, a strong wind stirred up the mist and swept in with a torrent of ominous energy.
"careful"
"It's a ferocious beast in the late stage of foundation building."
Shi Yuyan and Lu Yongshan shouted at the same time to remind their companions, while Ling Tian was more direct. Although he didn't say anything, he already slapped his hand against the strong wind.
boom
Ling Tian's palm wrapped in precious light collided with a sharp claw.
"Roar"
The ferocious beast that suddenly attacked let out a roar, and its claws were shattered.
However, Ling Tian also involuntarily took a few steps back.
Even Ling Tian wouldn't be able to take advantage of a ferocious beast in the late stage of foundation building with just his physical strength.
Before Ling Tian could stabilize his body, the ferocious beast came forward and struck Ling Tian on the head with a sharp claw carrying strong wind.
This is a ferocious beast that looks like an ape but walks upright. It is one foot tall, its body is covered with red hair, its claws are like iron hooks, its eyes are shining with blood, and its whole body is filled with ferocious aura.
"Bad beast, stop"
"suffer death"
Lu Yongshan and Shi Yuyan attacked one after another, one from the left and the other from the right.
Lu Yongshan made a fist shadow, and a huge energy fist roared out and hit the waist and abdomen of the vicious ape.
Shi Yuyan made a palm print, and the palm print carried the sound of wind and thunder, which was fast and fierce, and the sound was astonishing.
Being attacked from both sides, the ferocious ape decisively gave up the attack on Ling Tian and jumped up, jumping two feet high in an instant to avoid the attacks from both sides. Then it fell quickly and stepped on Ling Tian's head with its two hind paws.
Ling Tian had stabilized his body at this moment. When he saw the vicious ape attacking like a mountain, he immediately took two steps back and then punched forward fiercely.
boom
The vicious ape fell, and its two hind claws actually made several terrifying cracks on the ground.
As soon as he stood still, the ferocious ape waved its two sharp claws and struck Ling Tian from both sides.
If an ordinary person were shot by a vicious ape like this, he would probably turn into a meat pie in an instant.
At this moment, Ling Tian took a step forward, his figure was like a leaf blowing in the wind, and he moved out of the way in an instant.
boom
The vicious ape's two sharp claws clapped together, creating a powerful energy shock wave.
Ling Tian continued to use mysterious footwork, swinging around the vicious ape, attacking with fists and kicks from time to time.
The vicious ape kept waving its two front paws, but was tossed around by Ling Tian and could not even touch the corners of Ling Tian's clothes.
Shi Yuyan originally planned to continue to help, but was stopped by Lu Yongshan.
"Let my junior brother handle it alone." Lu Yongshan said calmly.
After all, this ferocious beast is only in the late stage of foundation building, and has no chance of hurting Ling Tian. It can only increase Ling Tian's combat experience.
Lu Yongshan felt that his junior brother had just entered the inner sect and his combat experience was far inferior to that of his fellow disciples, so he needed more training.
In fact, how did Lu Yongshan know that Ling Tian had no shortage of combat experience. He was the king of assassins in his previous life, and Ling Tian had experienced countless bloody battles.
Only twenty breaths passed, and the vicious ape was hit too many times, and finally collapsed and died unwillingly.
After splitting the head of the vicious ape and taking away its inner elixir, Ling Tian and the others continued deep into the forbidden area.
Only half an hour passed, and the three of them finally found a red maple leaf.
In a small mountain col, a maple leaf as big as a palm was lying peacefully on a piece of bluestone.
The maple leaf was bright red all over, as if it had been soaked in blood, and it was also shining with a strong red light, which was extremely conspicuous.
"Red Maple Spirit Leaf"
Shi Yuyan's eyes immediately lit up and she was ready to run over there.
"Little junior sister, wait"
Lu Yongshan grabbed Shi Yuyan's arm, frowned and said, "Don't be anxious, there is a breath of formation fluctuations in the mountain col."
"ah?"
Shi Yuyan was startled and immediately stopped, feeling secretly ashamed that she was indeed too anxious.
"Second Senior Brother, can the formation inside be broken?" Ling Tian asked.
"It's very difficult, and it would take a long time to crack it normally."
Lu Yongshan shook his head and said: "However, this formation should not be very strong. We can bombard it with force and blast it away quickly."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's do it."
Shi Yuyan was impatient, so she then shot a wind and thunder mark into the mountain col.
Lu Yongshan didn't say any more, and also made a series of fists.
Boom boom boom...
The mountain col shook.
However, what is surprising is that neither Shi Yuyan's palm print nor Lu Yongshan's fist shadow fell into the mountain col, but were blocked by a transparent wall that suddenly appeared.
The transparent wall seems weak, but its defense is extremely solid. It withstood the violent attack, but only fluctuated slightly, with no sign of being shattered.
"Senior Brother Lingtian, come and help, this formation's defense is so strong."
Shi Yuyan shouted loudly.
"good"
Naturally, Ling Tian would not sit back and watch. He then joined in the attack. However, since he had not practiced long-range attack spells, he could only rush towards the transparent wall.
boom
Ling Tian punched out hard, causing a large dent in the transparent wall.
But what shocked Ling Tian was that before he could close his fist, an extremely strong rebound force surged out of the transparent wall, not only popping out his fist instantly, but also knocking his body far away.
"puff"
Even Ling Tian's treasure body was actually unable to completely withstand the rebound force of the formation. After being knocked away, the energy and blood in his body surged, making him spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Junior brother, don't get too close to that formation. It has a certain counterattack effect, so don't underestimate it."
Lu Yongshan immediately reminded that Ling Tian had shot too quickly just now, and before he could make a sound, Ling Tian had already been knocked away.
"Pooh"
Ling Tian spat out the blood in his mouth, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and did not approach the transparent wall again. He just stood far away and used his power to attack.
Because there is no magic blessing, it is just the impact caused by the outward release of skills, which poses little threat to the transparent wall. On the contrary, it will increase Ling Tian's consumption.
"Junior brother, you don't need to attack anymore."
Lu Yongshan then told Ling Tian: "There is a lot of movement here, and I'm afraid it will attract evil beasts or other sect members. You should be responsible for guarding it. One of the three of us must remain in peak condition."
"good."
Ling Tian reluctantly stopped his hand and scanned his surroundings, fully alert.
Facts have proved that Lu Yongshan's calculation was correct. There was too much movement here, and it didn't take long before a monster was attracted.
This monster was at the peak of the late stage of foundation building, and it was obviously not as manic as the ferocious ape. When it saw three people here, it did not directly attack them, but watched from a distance.
After Ling Tian pondered for a moment, he didn't choose to wait and charged directly towards the monster.
If we wait any longer, there will definitely be other monsters coming. Once too many monsters and ferocious beasts gather here, not only will Ling Tian and the others be in danger, but there is no need to expect to continue bombarding formations here.
You must know that the ferocious beasts here are all just captured by the strong men of the sect. They are either in the late stage of foundation building or at the peak of the late stage of foundation building. One or two are easy to deal with, but once they gather into a group, they will form
An extremely terrifying fighting force.
When the demonic beast saw only one person coming towards him, it did not run away, but instead opened its mouth and spit out a stream of blue light arrows.
The peak state of the later stage of foundation building allowed the monster beast's attack to target Ling Tian. It was difficult for Ling Tian to dodge between the lightning and flint, but without a magic weapon to use, he couldn't resist it.
At this time, Ling Tian stepped on the Nine Palaces, his body was like flowing clouds, he took nine steps in an instant, narrowly dodged the blue light arrows, and rushed to the side of the monster beast.
The monster was a toad monster, shaped like a giant toad, with a huge body, but its skin had grown scales.
The pieces of scales are all blue, shining with fluorescence, like a layer of blue ice crystals, which makes it look magical.
"Quack"
Seeing the enemy approaching, the toad demon screamed in surprise, and several more blue light arrows were ejected from its mouth. At the same time, it also rushed forward suddenly with a long tongue covered with thick blue ice crystals, like a
