Zhou You's performance also surprised the audience, whose faces were more or less astonished.
Everyone who appears in the martial arts arena is not a rookie, and it can be seen at a glance that Zhang Lie has no mercy.
In other words, Zhou You's current strength is actually on par with Zhang Lie's.
"This week, I remember I became a trainee demon slayer last month..."
"I played against Zhou You a few days ago, and I had to go all out to win. But I didn't expect that he would improve so quickly..."
On the ring, the two started fighting again!
Zhang Lie was the first to strike, with a thin layer of bloody aura lingering around his body, and the long sword came in for a killing blow.
This knife was so fast that it was like a bloody lightning tearing through the sky.
Zhou You let out a low roar, and the fourth level of Nine Yang's inner energy suddenly exploded, turning into billowing magma and spurting out, fiercely facing him.
boom!
The two long knives collided heavily, shooting out countless sparks.
Zhang Lie's expression changed slightly, and the huge force coming from the long knife in his hand made him a little frightened.
Without hesitation, he also burst out his inner energy, and the long knife stirred strangely with the aura of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
This move is called the Spin Knife Technique. With an inch of force, the opponent's weapon can be directly deflected, often achieving unexpected results.
But this time, Zhang Lie did not succeed.
Zhou You snorted coldly, and with his huge strength, Zhang Lie was unable to deflect his long knife.
Dang Dang Dang~
Zhou You knew that the other party was more experienced than himself, so if he continued to fight one after another, sooner or later he would reveal his flaws.
So, he chose the most brainless and simplest way of playing.
He directly entangled and fought with Zhang Lie.
His eyes were like lightning, the Nine Yang inner energy was burning crazily, his body turned into a furnace of heaven and earth, and his sword power was like a strong wind, blazing and domineering.
Zhou You wants to cut through the mess with a sharp knife and beat the old master to death with random punches!
But Zhang Lie was rich in experience and could see Zhou You's thoughts at a glance. However, he also let out a roar and started a direct confrontation with Zhou You!
In just ten seconds, the two sides exchanged hundreds of moves in an instant!
Zhou You's huge power combined with the explosion of Jiuyang's inner energy, each sword was like fire, setting off an infinite heat wave, and for a while it even suppressed Zhang Lie!
However, Zhou You also knew in his heart that if this advantage did not turn into a victory, Zhang Lie would counterattack after his breath ran out.
Traveling around is urgent.
He used the wind sword technique to the extreme, and gusts of hot wind blew above the arena, and even the air began to twist and deform!
The violent wind cuts off the breath!
A red sword shadow set off an extremely hot wave of heat, like a prairie fire, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth, and slashed towards Zhang Lie with overwhelming force.
"Blood Moon Slash!"
At this time, Zhang Lie, who had always been patient, also moved.
He raised the long knife with both hands and slashed hard.
The long knife seemed to turn into a red moon at this moment, filled with blood evil energy, and rushed directly into the raging wildfire.
Click!
There was a crisp sound.
The two long knives simply could not withstand such a violent collision, and they turned into countless metal fragments, exploded, and spread out.
Fortunately, the audience were all agile warriors and were able to avoid the metal fragments that looked like flying knives in time.
If he were an ordinary person, it would probably be a tragedy.
"kill!"
The knife shattered, but it did not affect Zhang Lie at all. He adjusted his figure slightly, a layer of blood-colored inner energy emerged from his left hand, and punched hard!
This punch was as powerful as a rainbow, full of belief in victory!
Zhouyou is also moving!
Facing Zhang Lie's winning punch, the majestic energy and blood rolled endlessly, sweeping out like sea water!
His eyes instantly turned as scarlet as blood, and a crazy energy escaped.
It's like he transformed into a great ape demon, fighting fiercely for nine days and ten places, his fighting spirit soaring into the sky!
The ape demon collapses the mountain!
This punch was so powerful that even Zhou You's body made a crackling sound, like fried beans.
Bang!
The two fists collided together without any reservation, and the air was directly compressed into a vacuum, making a screaming sound.
Zhou You and Zhang Lie separated again.
There was still no winner, it was a tie.
"Huhu~" Zhou You gasped slightly. His physical strength was exhausted very quickly. If the Chiji Fire Shield hadn't been promoted to the third level and his physical fitness had been greatly improved, he would have lost strength long ago.
Jiuyang's internal energy is also rotating rapidly, racing against time to recover.
The role of endless life is reflected here.
Just when Zhou You was about to take action again.
Zhang Lie nodded slightly at him: "Your strength is enough."
After saying that, he turned around and left the ring.
To be honest, Zhang Lie didn't expect Zhou You to progress so quickly, to the point where he couldn't even defeat him.
If the fight continues, I might really lose.
In fact, after punching Todoroki, his left arm was directly dislocated.
But because Zhang Lie's willpower was too tenacious and there was no change in expression on his face, no one could see it.
His arm was dislocated after being beaten by a junior... Zhang Lie couldn't lose his face if he told this story.
In this case, it's better to let him handle the case of Xu Ling's disappearance.
Zhou You now does have this strength.
"This kid... is really ruthless."
After Zhang Lie left the martial arts arena as if nothing had happened, he held his left hand with his right hand and exerted a slight force.
With a click, the left hand was reattached.
The lanky man's eyes also flashed with surprise. It seemed that Zhou You's ability to complete two three-star tasks in a row this time was definitely no fluke.
The two returned to Tianxing Palace.
"To be honest, even I didn't expect that you would be able to tie with Zhang Lie." The lanky man smiled.
This Zhou You is still a low-level demon slayer, but he actually has the strength of an intermediate-level demon slayer.
Of course, the slender man believed that it was only a matter of time before Zhou You was promoted to an intermediate level demon slayer.
Moreover, he is still very young and has unlimited potential. He may even have a chance to challenge a high-level demon slayer.
Unlike his master Xu Ling, whose potential is exhausted, if there is no adventure, he will be trapped in the inner Qi realm for the rest of his life.
"Uncle Zhang kept his hand." Zhou You shook his head.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Zhang Lie had actually let him go by choosing to confront him.
"Anyway, your strength is now obvious to all. This is the demon-killing task your master Xu Ling went to Linjiang City to handle. Take a good look at it."
The lanky man took out a file and handed it to Zhou You.
Zhou You did not hesitate and opened it directly.
【Linjiang City Missing Case】
Mission introduction: In recent years, more than a hundred people have disappeared in Linjiang City, and all of them were beautiful women. The Linjiang City government office investigated for a long time, but still found nothing, so it had no choice but to report it to the Demon Slayer Department.
Mission difficulty: three stars
Mission reward: fifty contribution points.
What's left is a thick stack of missing persons information.
"When you go to Linjiang City this time, you don't have to complete this demon-killing mission. At this time, you still need to find Xu Ling, who has been missing for a long time."
