Chapter 367: Fighting skills, holding back big moves
This can be regarded as Ximen Qing's first time fighting in martial arts. To be honest, he has no idea about fighting in martial arts. Most of the people who used Thunder God Stone before were used on people who didn't know magic. The only time he got involved was when he witnessed Yunlong Gongsun Sheng.
During the fight with the Demon King Fan Rui, Ximen Qing lent the thunder stone to Gongsun Sheng to enhance his magic power.
But even so, Ximen Qing is still confident that he can beat Qiao Daoqing. The illusions he arranged along the way are easily broken by him. Ximen Qing is more confident than when he was at the bottom of the mountain.
What benefits will you gain from facing Qiao Daoqing alone?
Ximen Qing hasn't figured it out yet, but Qiao Daoqing gave him the best chance.
"General Guan, hold the battle for me." Ximen Qing ordered: "If anyone else appears, they will be killed without mercy!"
"As you command!"
Guan Sheng shook the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand and let out a loud roar.
Without waiting for Qiao Daoqing's instructions, Sun An also carried two swords and stared at Guan Sheng. What he wanted to do was naturally to prevent Guan Sheng from intervening at a critical moment.
Although Guan Sheng, like him, does not understand magic, it is not unusual for anything to happen during the battle.
"No one will disturb you now." Qiao Daoqing pointed to a piece of flat ground next to him: "Sir Ximen, please!"
Ximen Qing saw that the flat land was about several feet in diameter, which was rare on such a rocky mountaintop. Someone must have tidied it up deliberately. Behind the flat land was a huge grotto, with two Buddha statues carved in it, whose faces were unclear; and the Tang Dynasty
The stone square tower that Bin once mentioned stands on top of the grotto. When viewed from here, it really looks like a sheep's head.
"Since this is a fight, you and I can address each other as fellow Taoists." Ximen Qingji bowed his head and said, "I am also a registered disciple of Erxianshan Luo Zhenren after all. Fellow Taoist Qiao, please come!"
Qiao Daoqing felt a shiver in his heart. The name of Master Luo's registered disciple was not a big one, but it vaguely poked at the pain in his heart. He thought that Qiao Daoqing went to Erxian Mountain not for other reasons, but to learn Taoism under Master Luo, and now this
However, Ximen Qing picked up a Thunder God Stone from nowhere, and asked Master Luo to instruct Gongsun Sheng to teach the "Tiangang Five Thunder Methods" on his behalf. This was a mystery that Qiao Daoqing had never understood.
What is the purpose of Ximen Qing suddenly calling him fellow Taoist?
Qiao Daoqing was full of suspicion, so he returned the salute, and his body disappeared from the place in a flash. When he reappeared, he was already at the end of the flat land.
"Fellow Taoist Ximen, please!"
Ximen Qing yawned, as if tears were coming out of his eyes. He raised his sleeves to wipe them away, raised his legs and walked towards the ground with three shaking steps.
"Fellow Taoist Qiao has profound magic skills. I'm sorry for my poor academic skills, but I can only rely on my legs to move slowly...but I can also take a look at the scenery by the way."
What Ximen Qing is referring to is naturally the cave behind the plain. This is also where the name Sheephead Mountain comes from.
"Fellow Taoist, please be patient, I can afford to wait." Qiao Daoqing sneered: "I just want to tell you the rules of fighting."
"All ears." Ximen Qing said while moving his steps and cupping his hands.
"The fight is limited to this flat ground." Qiao Daoqing made a stroke with his right hand and said loudly: "During the fight, if either party escapes from the flat ground or falls out, he loses... Taoist friends, don't forget the bet. If
If you lose, you have to give up the thunder stone to Pindao."
"No problem." Ximen Qing agreed.
In fact, except for Ximen Qing, anyone who touches the Thunder Stone will be mercilessly shocked, so Ximen Qing agreed without any hesitation.
"Besides the rule that Fellow Taoist just mentioned, is there anything else that needs to be explained?"
Ximen Qing finally walked to the other end of the flat land and looked at Qiao Daoqing from a distance.
"No." Qiao Daoqing squinted his eyes and looked at Ximen Qing across from him. Of course, his eyes were more focused on the thunder stone around Ximen Qing's waist.
"There are no rules...just the rules of fighting. To put it simply, whatever you know, just do it!"
As soon as Qiao Daoqing finished speaking, two talismans flew out of his left sleeve and rolled in mid-air. The talisman on the left turned into a fire dragon, and the one on the right turned into an ice dragon. They attacked Ximen Qing from both sides.
"I'll give it a try, it tastes so strong as Ice and Fire Nine Heavens!"
Ximen Qing screamed, hurriedly patted his waist, and the Thunder Stone suddenly lit up, a move that remained unchanged forever.
Using the magic formula, Ximen Qing aimed at the two dragon heads. Regardless of whether they were real or illusory, the power of two sky thunders popped out.
Opposite him, Qiao Daoqing was concentrating and holding his breath, watching how Ximen Qing used spells.
"The technique is so crude!"
Just when Qiao Daoqing was indignant, the two seemingly weak thunder powers made the fire dragon and ice dragon shrink in pain, and both let out painful dragon roars.
"This illusion is pretty good. It's much more realistic than any 3D illusion. The dragon's roar is also very realistic, which is a bit interesting."
Ximen Qing's thoughts changed, and two more thunderous forces popped up.
"Take another one!"
As Ximen Qing laughed, the fire dragon and the ice dragon let out a mournful scream at the same time, and their bodies rolled...and soon turned into two streaks of smoke. When the mountain wind blew by, they immediately became clean and tidy, without any trace of their previous existence.
"Fellow Taoist, isn't your move good?" Ximen Qing smiled slightly: "Do it again!"
The two talismans that Qiao Daoqing had just now were very powerful. They had gathered the power of many wronged souls to transform into two ice dragons and fire dragons. However, they were broken by Ximen Qing. Qiao Daoqing did not panic, but became happy instead.
The power of Thunder Stone is evident!
This thunder stone will be available soon!
Qiao Daoqing sneered, pointed the sword in his hand in the air, and muttered something: "The wronged souls from all over the world, listen to my orders; condense into a divine body for me to drive, the Supreme Lord is as urgent as the law!"
"This spell seems quite powerful."
Ximen Qing watched the changes around him vigilantly, and Lei Gongshi seemed to be cooperating with him. Unknowingly, Ximen Qing seemed to feel something.
Lines of various colors, red, red, yellow, green, blue, and purple, poured out from the top of Qiao Daoqing's sword and threw them in all directions.
Soon, Ximen Qing understood what he saw. It was the fluctuation of Qiao Daoqing's mana.
Qiao Daoqing projected his magic power in all directions, attracting thicker and larger lines, but these lines only have one color. If you want to use words to describe this color, it would be death gray.
"Is this the power of the wronged soul?" Ximen Qing thought to himself: "It turns out that spells and everything else are all lies, and the most important thing is the operation of magic power!"
Since you can see the fluctuations in Qiao Daoqing's mana, what about your own?
Ximen Qing secretly looked down and saw that the Lei Gongshi was no longer a dazzling white light, but a ball of golden light.
To be precise, the entire thunder stone is a ball of golden thread.
"Is this the true power of Thunder Stone?"
Ximen Qing could feel the terror of that power, the immeasurable terror.
He also believed it if the thunder stone was a small atomic bomb.
Ximen Qing tried to pinch the magic formula, and sure enough, what he pulled out was not so much a thread, but an extremely fine filament.
"Is this the great benefit of fighting Qiao Daoqing?"
Ximen Qing couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. If he was really a cultivator, these eyes could clearly see the fluctuations of mana, which might be a great benefit.
But now what I have to deal with is the power of the souls of injustice that is about to gather... God knows what a powerful thing it will turn into.
Ximen Qing could hardly help but curse.
Mr. Luo, can you do something awesome at the critical moment?
"Fellow Taoist, don't look around during the fight!"
On the opposite side, Qiao Daoqing saw Ximen Qing looking at himself and then looking down at Lei Gongshi. He didn't take him seriously at all and couldn't help but remind him.
"Whatever!"
Ximen Qing shook his head. It seemed that Qiao Daoqing was holding back his big move, so it would be better to strike first!
After estimating the distance, Ximen Qing took two steps forward and fired a blast of thunder toward Qiao Dao!
Qiao Daoqing frowned, and another talisman flew out of his sleeve, turning into a thick smoke. When it collided with the power of the thunder, both of them turned into nothing.
"I bought a hiking bag last year, it's super wear-resistant!"
Ximen Qing cursed loudly, and two bolts of thunder popped out.
"I don't believe you have so many talismans in your sleeves! You are an illusionist, not a magician!"
Qiao Daoqing's face was ashen. There really was no talisman in his sleeve, but the spell was still almost unfinished. The sword had gathered more and more power from the wronged souls. If there was even the slightest mistake now, the spell might not be used yet.
I was the first to suffer the backlash from the power of the wronged soul.
He didn't expect that Ximen Qing would be forced to this point.
In desperation, Qiao Daoqing turned his attention to Sun An, the palace commander standing outside the circle.
Sun Anxin understood this and jumped into the circle with a few steps.
He didn't know what Qiao Daoqing had encountered, but his eyes clearly saw that he needed to appear.
But as soon as Sun An moved his steps, there was a chill in his waist, but it was Guan Sheng who waved the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, blocking his way.
"Sun Dianshuai, do you want to admit defeat?" Guan Sheng's tone was cold, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was even more chilling: "You and I should just watch the fight honestly."
Sun An had no choice but to look at Qiao Daoqing again. The flying cloud crown on his head was gone, and his hair was down, making him look even more unsightly. His left sleeve was torn, exposing a section of his arm, and he no longer had any grace at all.
It turned out that Qiao Daoqing had no choice but to fly away his sleeves, blocking the force of a thunderbolt; the other one was unstoppable and flew over his head, smashing Feiyun Guan into pieces!
"The anger is so bad and the poor Taoist!"
Qiao Daoqing's face twitched, and the sword held in his right hand had turned a dead gray color. This spell had been completed!
"Bah!"
Qiao Daoqing invoked the magic formula and shook the sword, and the dead grays scattered in all directions, rolled on the spot, transformed into eight gods, and stood in front of Qiao Daoqing.
Different from the spells used to capture Liu Tang, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and others, these eight gods were completely formed by the power of the 400,000 souls of Yangtou Mountain, condensed into essence, and their skin and armor were all deathly gray.
