The Third Day of Defending the Arena, Two Fierce Battles, Fame Shakes the Prefecture City!
At dawn on the third day, Blood Condensation was already surrounded by people around the arena, which was several times more crowded than the previous two days.
Yesterday, after Li Tongyuan defeated ten powerful Blood Qis and caused a disturbance in the Li family, the whole Spirit Seeking Prefecture was talking about this illegitimate son of the Li family. Today, Ji Family and Zhang Clan announced that they would send their future leaders to fight.
Even the patriarchs of major aristocratic families and the deacons of the Outer Sect of the Dragon Sect were present in person, and the seats in the front row of the stands were sold at a high price. You must know that in the past few days, there was no other charge except the entrance fee. Everyone was waiting with bated breath for this peak showdown. You can see the sensation caused!
As soon as the hour came, Li Tongyuan, dressed in white washed clothes and holding the ring-shou knife that had been with him for many years, slowly stepped onto the ring.
After two days of fierce fighting, his brows became a little sharper after being soaked in blood. Although his body was slightly thin, he was like a sharp blade hidden in a sheath, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his hand holding the handle of the knife was as steady as a rock.
"Coming, coming! It's Ji Lingxiao! Ji Family's number one genius who has been in seclusion for three years!" A deafening commotion suddenly broke out in the audience, and the crowd parted like a tide.
I saw a young man in bright silver armor holding a ten-foot-long spear in his hand. With his toes touching the ground, he jumped onto the ring like an eagle, stirring up a burst of dust when he landed. Shisanyan Blood Qi lingered around his body like burning red flames, and before he took action, the people around the ring showed shocked expressions.
Even the tea on the tea stall in the distance has fine ripples. Ji Lingxiao is the eldest grandson of the Ji Family master Ji Cang. He has been at all year round. Lineage is in seclusion in the secret realm. Ji Family has already mastered Ripping Wind Spear's unique skills. It is said that he has killed rare monsters there and has few opponents among the younger generation in Fucheng.
"Li Tongyuan, you hurt my brother Ji Fushan and insulted my face Ji Family. Today I will clean up the house for Lineage and let you know what it means to have a high heaven and a high earth!"
Ji Lingxiao's tone was as cold as frost, and he shook the spear in his hand. The tip of the spear glowed with a cold light, pointing directly at the center of Li Tongyuan's eyebrows. The whistling wind of the spear actually blew the surrounding dust away.
"Brother Ling Xiao will win! Take this wild boy off the horse!" The Ji Family disciples in the east stand instantly became excited. Some raised their Lineage tokens and shouted loudly. Some even threw broken silver to place bets, their faces full of arrogance that they were determined to win.
The ordinary spectators on the west side clenched their fists and their palms were covered in cold sweat. An old man who witnessed Li Tongyuan's winning streak yesterday murmured, "Thirteen Blood Qi... Tong Yuan, this kid, is probably in danger."
"Let's take action." Li Tongyuan took half a step forward instead of retreating, holding the sword across his chest. Thirteen Waves Saber Art's starting position slowly unfolded, with a faint hint of Blood Qi lingering on the blade. Although it was not as flamboyant as Ji Lingxiao, it exuded a calm toughness.
"Seeking death!" Ji Lingxiao roared angrily, and his figure suddenly disappeared on the spot, leaving only an afterimage. The essence of Ripping Wind Spear is to be fast. His gun shoots out like lightning, making him impossible to guard against! The next second, he had appeared on the left side of Li Tongyuan. The spear in his hand thrust out like a gust of wind. Between the overlapping shadows of the spears, there were actually three sharp spear points, which locked Li Tongyuan's throat, heart and Dantian vital points respectively. The move was a unique move. This was Ripping Wind Spear's killer move Three Flowers Gathering at the Top!
"What a fast gun! I can't even see the trajectory!" Someone in the audience exclaimed, and many people even closed their eyes subconsciously.
Li Tongyuan's pupils shrank suddenly. At the critical moment of life and death, he suddenly turned sideways, his steps changing like a small boat in the stormy waves, narrowly and narrowly avoiding the fatal blow to his throat and heart.
But after all, he was half a minute too slow, and with a "Puff" sound, the tip of the spear scraped across his right shoulder, leaving a bone-deep blood mark. The blood instantly dyed half of his costume red, dripping down his arm onto the bluestone platform, making a "tick-tock-tock" sound.
"Hiss" There was a gasp of air from the audience, and someone in the auditorium on the west side couldn't help shouting, "Watch your back!"
As expected, Ji Lingxiao gained the upper hand and was unyielding. The moment he retracted his spear, he stabbed it out again. The tip of the spear was like a poisonous snake spitting messages, right into Li Tongyuan's back vest!
Li Tongyuan turned around to block in a hurry. There was a crisp "clang" sound, and the sword and gun collided. He only felt a huge force coming along the blade, and his arms went numb. He took three steps back before he could barely stabilize his body.
In the next half a stick of incense, Ji Lingxiao's spears poured down like a torrential rain. The shadows of the spears were airtight, and each blow carried a sharp sound that tore the air, compressing Li Tongyuan's range of motion to the three-square-foot space in the center of the ring.
Li Tongyuan gritted his teeth to support, Thirteen Waves Saber Art unfolded with all his strength, the sword light was like waves, sometimes blocking, sometimes counterattacking, but the gap in martial arts level was as big as the sky. His arms gradually began to numb, Blood Qi's operation became sluggish, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks and dripped on the back of the sword.
"If this continues, Tong Yuan will be consumed to death!"
The old man in the audience stamped his feet anxiously, and the young warrior next to him also looked anxious. "His sword speed has slowed down!"
In the east stand, Ji Cang had a cold smile on his lips. He tapped the armrest with his fingers and said to the elder beside him, "Ling Xiao, this kid, my three years of resources were not wasted."
The Outer Sect deacon of the Dragon Sect frowned slightly, twirling his beard with his fingers, and a trace of scrutiny flashed in his eyes. He was evaluating Ji Lingxiao's marksmanship, and also observing Li Tongyuan's unyielding toughness.
Just when Li Tongyuan's sword was about to disperse and Ji Lingxiao's spear was pointed directly at his heart, an inconspicuous figure in the crowd wearing a gray cloth raised his hand slightly. It was Vital Essence Body disguised as an ordinary warrior.
A wisp of pure essence as thin as a hair floated out quietly, like an invisible thread, seeping into Li Tongyuan's body along the wound on his shoulder, without attracting anyone's attention.
"Huh?" Li Tongyuan's whole body shook violently, and he felt a cool force flow through his body instantly. Blood Qi's sluggish movements suddenly became smoother, and most of the pain in his arms dissipated like ice and snow melting.
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he suppressed his distracting thoughts, seized this fleeting opportunity, and raised the long knife sharply. With a crisp "ding" sound, he accurately hit the side of the gun tip of Ji Lingxiao!
"What?!" Ji Lingxiao's face changed drastically. He didn't expect Li Tongyuan to be able to fight back in a desperate situation. He hurriedly tried to steady the spear, but was knocked back by a force that far exceeded his expectations. The tiger's mouth burst open and blood dripped down the barrel of the gun.
"Now!" A sharp light flashed in Li Tongyuan's eyes, and he approached like a cheetah. The sword in his hand danced with a full moon-like light, and swept out towards Ji Lingxiao!
"Bo Lang...Surging Waves!" Li Tongyuan shouted, and the thirteenth Blood Qi was poured into the knife. The light of the knife surged several feet, sweeping down like a raging sea wave, with an indomitable power!
Ji Lingxiao has no way to avoid it, so he can only gather all Blood Qi to hold the gun god in front of him.
With a loud "boom", his whole body was blown away by the wind of the sword, and he fell heavily on the wooden railing at the edge of the ring. The wooden railing broke with a "click", and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. After struggling for a few times, he was unable to get up. The spear in his hand also flew out and landed in the crowd under the stage, causing a burst of chaos.
"Won?!" There was a deathly silence in the audience at first, and then they burst into earth-shaking cheers, "Li Tongyuan! Li Tongyuan!"
The audience on the west side jumped to their feet and shouted, and some even threw their hats into the air.
The disciple Ji Family on the east side suddenly turned pale. Ji Cang slammed the handrail, and the hard mahogany handrail was shattered by him. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Waste! What a waste!"
But before the cheers lasted for a moment, a black shadow jumped onto the ring like a boulder, and when it landed, the whole ring shook slightly.
The pressure of thirteen Blood Qi spread out like mountains, several meters thicker than Ji Lingxiao. It was Zhang Hanshan, the core disciple of the Zhang Clan!
He was as tall as an iron tower, holding a hatchet the size of a door panel in each hand. The ax blade was still stained with wet blood. He had obviously just arrived from somewhere, and his eyes were as fierce as a hungry wolf. "Li Tongyuan, you have injured our city's genius one after another. Today I will use your blood to pay tribute to the majesty of the Zhang Clan!"
Zhang Hanshan's double axe, Mountain Splitting, is famous in Fucheng. It is known for its unparalleled strength. It is said that it can split hard boulders with one axe.
As soon as he came up, he launched a fierce attack, and his two axes swept across like a whirlwind. The shadows of the axes overlapped, completely blocking Li Tongyuan's retreat. As the ax wind roared, even the bluestone of the arena was cut with shallow marks.
Li Tongyuan had just defeated Ji Lingxiao, but Blood Qi had not yet completely recovered. Faced with such a fierce offensive, danger suddenly arose.
"Be careful!" The audience in the audience exclaimed in unison, and saw Zhang Hanshan hit the back of Li Tongyuan's knife with an axe. The huge force made Li Tongyuan stagger back a few steps, and his chest felt tight and he almost spurted out blood.
The other ax struck at his waist, and was about to cut him in half. Li Tongyuan twisted his body violently, and the ax blade scraped across his ribs, cutting a large gash about a foot long in his armor, leaving a trail of blood, and even his ribs were bruised, causing bursts of severe pain.
"Hahaha, that's it! I thought it was so powerful!" Zhang Hanshan laughed wildly, and the attack of the two axes became more and more fierce, and each ax was directed towards the vital point. Li Tongyuan's sword power gradually became disorganized, veins popped up on his forehead, his face was as pale as paper, and his breathing became rapid. After two consecutive fierce battles, his Blood Qi sword was on the verge of exhaustion, and his arm began to tremble slightly when holding the knife.
"It's over, it's over, this kid can't hold it anymore!" Some people in the audience shook their heads and sighed, and a woman even covered her child's eyes, unable to bear to see him being severely injured.
On the east side of the stands, Zhang Lineage looked happy and said to his son beside him, "This kid Hanshan didn't embarrass Zhang Clan!
"Jilong Zong shook his head slightly, as if concluded that Li Tongyuan would definitely lose, and was about to get up and leave. In his opinion, although Li Tongyuan's resilience is valuable, the difference in strength is too big after all.
At the moment when Zhang Hanshan's double ax struck Li Tongyuan's head, and the exclamations of the audience were stuck in their throats, Vital Essence Body raised his hand again, and a wisp of more pure essence than before was quietly injected into Li Tongyuan's body.
This time, Li Tongyuan clearly felt a warm power surge throughout his body. The exhausted Blood Qi quickly recovered like a dead tree blooming in spring, and the originally heavy long knife also became lighter.
With a stern look in his eyes, he suddenly gave up his defense and stabbed Zhang Hanshan's heart with the long knife in his hand. It seemed like a desperate move, but in fact it was a hidden secret.
This is also his only chance!
"Are you crazy?!" Zhang Hanshan was stunned, then laughed wildly, "Want to die together? No way!" He subconsciously put his ax back on guard, trying to block this fatal blow.
But at the moment when his ax was about to touch the blade, Li Tongyuan's wrist suddenly flipped, and the long knife changed direction, swept across like a snake, and accurately struck Zhang Hanshan's knee!
"Crack!" There was a crisp sound of bone cracking, and Zhang Hanshan screamed and knelt heavily on one knee on the ring. His face instantly turned pale as a sheet, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. He could never imagine that Li Tongyuan could use such a tricky move in such a desperate situation!
"It's over." Li Tongyuan's voice was hoarse, but with unquestionable determination. The long knife in his hand was pointed directly at Zhang Hanshan's throat. The cold light on the tip of the knife made Zhang Hanshan's pupils shrink suddenly.
Zhang Hanshan looked at Li Tongyuan's cold eyes, felt the coolness on his neck, finally lowered his proud head, and slowly lowered his double axe. "I... I lost..."
"Okay!" The audience was completely excited! The audience cheered and shouted, and some even rushed to the stage to give Li Tongyuan water and medicine.
The children of the E family were all ashen-faced. The face of the head of the Zhang family was so gloomy that water dripped from his face. He was staring at a certain direction in the crowd, but he still could not find the suspicious figure of E.
The foot that had just been lifted up by Master Long was put down again. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He turned to the disciple beside him and said, "This Li Tongyuan's energy and blood recovery speed is not right. He is just a genius with outstanding talent. His illegitimate son happened to be cut off from the family. Let's see if he is willing to come and see Master Long."
Li Tongyuan was holding a long knife and breathing heavily. The wounds on his shoulders and ribs were still oozing blood, staining the clothes in front of him red, but his waist was as straight as a green pine that could not fall in the wind and rain.
The sun shone on him, coating him with a golden halo, and the cheers from the audience came one after another and lasted for a long time.
