First Victory, Blood Curse, and the True Lords' Astonishment

"Xiao Chen actually chose to challenge East Arena!"

This situation immediately attracted the attention of all the monks present.

After the whole day's attack yesterday, Eight Great Arenas's situation has become very clear.

Even Foundation Establishment Cultivator can see that East Arena has the best rewards, but it is also the hardest level to break through.

Originally, Xiao Chen was particularly special in the eyes of outsiders.

His identity is unknown and his origins are a mystery, but he was able to spend a lot of money at the auction and instantly defeated the famous Listening Wave Sea Body Cultivator Chen Qingsong in the previous battle.

Therefore, ever since he was recognized, discussions about him have been endless.

Now Xiao Chen came up again, so I chose the most difficult East Arena.

Naturally, everyone was very excited and wanted to take this opportunity to observe his fighting process.

After experiencing several battles yesterday, everyone has already agreed that Esteem Truth Temple Disciple is more powerful than Chen Qingsong and others.

In this case, this battle is likely to be very exciting!

"Hey, who do you think will win? Senior Xiao should be able to win this time, right?"

"I can't tell, but Esteem Truth Temple's technique is really sharp."

"Spirit Artifact is also very powerful. Maybe Eight Great Arenas will be taken over by others this time."

"Definitely not all of them will be occupied, but don't forget that Heaven Sword True Person and the others didn't take action. Even if Senior Xiao fails, they still have to cover up."

"Probably not, isn't it that Senior Xiao is also Hidden Heir?"

"Didn't you notice that the arena has been enlarged? In this way, the distance between the two sides is widened. I see that they are clearly targeting Senior Xiao and Body Cultivator."

"Oh, what Fellow Daoist said makes sense! Then wouldn't Senior Xiao be at a disadvantage?"

There was a lot of discussion under the stage.

Not only the casual cultivators think this way, but also True Disciple of Seven Great Sects are also discussing it quietly.

"Do you think Daoist Xiao can win its first victory?"

"It's hard to say. After watching it yesterday, I felt that the other party was able to handle it with ease. Maybe they didn't even use their full strength."

"I just hope that no matter what the outcome is, this battle can last longer. Yesterday it ended too quickly, and there was no time to study carefully."

Even the few True Lord who were watching the battle on the high platform next to them.

They all also turned their attention to Xiao Chen, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

"Daoist Xiao, due to an unexpected situation yesterday, the rules of the arena have also been changed."

The chief warned, "During the attack, except for the use of fourth-level foreign objects to help, each side cannot use more than ten Talisman in a single attack."

"If you violate the regulations, you will be directly punished!"

The reason for adding this new line is because yesterday there was a Talisman Master who tried to win by relying on the number of Talisman.

However, he failed in the end because Esteem Truth Temple Disciple came prepared and held more quantity and better quality Talisman.

So for the sake of fairness, we simply restricted everyone from relying too much on Talisman.

"No problem!"

Xiao Chen nodded, he had no intention of using foreign objects.

Body Cultivator's reliance has always been on himself.

Hey, at most I can add Hextech.

"Boom~!"

The red cloth ball falls to the ground.

At the same time, Esteem Truth Temple Disciple, who was on the left side of the ring, was also prepared and immediately showed off Fine Gold Spirit Shield.

The opponent did not underestimate the enemy at all. Instead, he made up his mind to fight steadily today.

Try to force out the hole card of Xiao Chen.

As Fine Gold Spirit Shield entered Spirit Ascension Form, the dazzling Golden Light immediately lit up from the stage.

Even after passing through the transparent Defensive Formation outside the ring, it still shines brightly into people's eyes.

So much so that many casual cultivators closed their eyes subconsciously.

Influencing the enemy's line of sight is originally one of the side effects of Fine Gold Spirit Shield.

Combined with the secret technique of interfering Spiritual Sense Lock, it can have miraculous effects.

"Boom~!"

There was another muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Immediately, the stage fell silent.

Many casual cultivators urged Law Power to protect their eyes and look towards the stage.

I saw a vague figure standing on the left side, with one hand behind his back and the other hand slowly retracted.

But the right side of the arena is empty!

"Clang!"

Fine Gold Spirit Shield, which lost its true energy support, fell to the ground.

Golden Light on the stage quickly dimmed.

Only then did everyone see clearly.

The figure standing on the left turned out to be Xiao Chen!

If anyone looks carefully, they can also find where he is standing, just one step in front of the Esteem Truth Temple Disciple just now.

???

Everyone was stunned on the spot, not understanding what just happened.

"Hiss~!"

One of the monks took a breath of cold air. "Why did you suddenly change places? Daoist Zhang, do you see clearly what's going on?"

"I don't know!"

The companion next to him was obviously a little confused. "I just blinked because I was shaken by Golden Light, and when I opened it again, it was like this."

What he said was simply the sentiment of the other monks around him.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, everyone looked confused.

Until someone suddenly raised his hand and said, "Look, Arena King has fallen!"

Everyone quickly looked in the direction of his finger and saw the original Esteem Truth Temple Disciple getting up from the ground.

At this time, he was looking up and looking around, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

He didn't even realize what had just happened.

But to others, the truth of the matter was already obvious.

Combined with Xiao Chen's closing movement and the muffled sound, it was clear that Esteem Truth Temple Disciple was knocked down directly.

This result was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

After experiencing yesterday's attack, no one would think that Esteem Truth Temple Disciple was not strong enough, so he couldn't even catch a single move.

Everyone soon realized that Xiao Chen was actually too strong!

And it's not that he's a little stronger, he's completely crushed by strength!

"Is it... so easy to win?"

"My mother, Daoist Xiao, what kind of strange power is this!"

"I thought that after the arena was expanded, Daoist Xiao would suffer. Who would have thought that there would be no difference at all."

"Oh, I misunderstood Daoist Chen the day before yesterday. I didn't expect Daoist Xiao to be so strong!"

Heaven Sword True Person, who was famous as Listening Wave Sea before, now looks serious.

He almost only saw a blurry trajectory just now.

In other words, even if he were standing there, his reaction time would only be a short moment.

The contemporary Thousand Machines Chief Eight Vajras has frowned involuntarily.

Put yourself in his shoes, if he were to fight against Xiao Chen, the result might not be much better.

With such a high speed, the distance in the arena is obviously still too short.

Thousand Machines Puppet will most likely be too late to stop the opponent from approaching, which means that he has almost lost most of his support.

This is obviously bad news for Eight Vajras.

No Golden Core cultivator doesn't want Supreme Clarity Nascent Soul Transformation Glazed Pearl, and he is no exception.

However, now that Xiao Chen has become Arena King, then he has been restrained by the opponent, which is equivalent to directly losing the qualification to compete for East Arena.

Mountain Opening True Person from the Heavenly Dipper Sect not far away has no such worries.

Also Body Cultivator, he will not be restrained.

But it is precisely because he is also Body Cultivator that he can feel the horror of Xiao Chen more deeply.

What the hell!

Mountain Opening True Person asked himself, he couldn't break through the spiritual shield defense so easily and knock people away.

"One party falls out of the ring, and this attack is over."

The referee who had just thrown the red ball jumped off the ring and stood there stunned for a while before reacting.

Jumped up again and announced, "Xiao Chen wins and becomes the new Arena King!"

As the result was announced, there was another round of heated discussion.

At the same time, many monks also began to look at other Esteem Truth Temple Disciple again.

Facts have proven that they will also be defeated, and they will be directly crushed.

So many remaining monks no longer hesitated and took to the stage to challenge, trying to win their first victory in another arena.

"Daoist Xiao, this is the list of prizes for Spirit Artifact. Please choose your rewards freely."

Realizing that no one was challenging East Arena, the supervisor came over with a tray and motioned for Xiao Chen to choose the reward first.

Oh?

To be honest, this incident surprised Xiao Chen.

On the second day, there was even a first-win reward, which is exaggerated.

He went back to retreat yesterday and really didn't pay attention to what was going on outside.

At this time, I saw that the eight pieces of Spirit Artifact were still on the list, and then I realized that Esteem Truth Temple seemed to be really strong.

Since there is free Spirit Artifact, don't waste it.

Xiao Chen made a little distinction, picked up the pen and ticked the bottom spiritual shield.

As we all know, the defensive type Spirit Artifact is generally more expensive than the offensive type Spirit Artifact.

Therefore, if he chooses this spiritual shield, even if he doesn't pick the most expensive one, it shouldn't be a problem to resell it stably for over 100,000 Spirit Stone.

Soon, the disciple of Esteem Truth Temple took Spirit Artifact and awarded it to Xiao Chen on the spot.

This undoubtedly inspired more casual practitioners.

In particular, although most of them entered the top 100 in the selection, they did not expect to win the final Arena Defense Grand Prize.

Therefore, one after another began to challenge the remaining seven arenas, trying to compete for Spirit Artifact.

It's a pity that the casual cultivators have limited strength after all.

In addition to helping test out some of the Law Technique effects of Esteem Truth Temple during the battle, dozens of people were eliminated again.

In the evening, they still failed to win the second arena.

At the same time, what makes Xiao Chen more gratified is that during this process, no one chose him as the challenge target.

Everyone circled the other seven arenas in a tacit understanding, and no one came to cause him any trouble.

He also enjoyed his leisure time and simply sat cross-legged on the ring to watch the show.

After all, compared to the previous selections, everyone no longer hides their clumsiness during the attack, and the fight is finally a lot more exciting.

It would actually be good if it could always end like this.

Unfortunately, he is not the only monk who has his eye on Supreme Clarity Nascent Soul Transformation Glazed Pearl.

Early on the third day.

Gou Low Old Man, who was always able to persuade his opponents before, actually chose to challenge East Arena.

This was very interesting, and many monks immediately became interested again.

You know, in the previous selection, even Xiao Chen fought in the last round.

However, this Gou Low Old Man never faced off from the beginning to the end, and always easily persuaded his opponent with Divine Sense Transmission.

Naturally, everyone wants to know whether he can do it this time.

"Look, he's closing his eyes again!"

"I really want to know what exactly he said?"

"Tell me, can he persuade Daoist Xiao to quit?"

Everyone looked at the Gou Low Old Man curiously.

The referee didn't even speak to urge him, but seemed to be waiting for something.

At the same time, an old voice suddenly sounded next to Xiao Chen's ears, "Daoist Xiao, you have been hit by the old Dark Curse."

"If you don't believe it, you might as well try to use your true energy now."

"Have you felt a slight tingling sensation in your meridians?"

"Hehehe, as long as you admit defeat now and promise to keep the secret for me, I will remove the Dark Curse from you and guarantee that there will be no sequelae."

Huh?

Dark Curse?

Xiao Chen's expression was a little subtle, but he didn't feel anything at all.

I was still curious before about how the other party managed to persuade me to quit. It turned out that they relied on threats in this way.

He shook his head gently. "Fellow Daoist, I advise you to change your method, it may be more effective."

This answer obviously surprised Gou Low Old Man.

He grinned slightly, not intending to have a pointless argument with the young man.

Instead, he secretly urged Curse Technique and decided to let Xiao Chen suffer a little first.

Young people are always arrogant and arrogant.

But as long as he notices the riot of true energy in his body, he will naturally become honest.

"Eh~?"

However, as his mind was running, Gou Low Old Man's expression changed somewhat.

From the original calm mood, a trace of doubt gradually emerged.

I have clearly cast Dark Curse, why can't I activate it suddenly?

He quickly re-executed the technique, but once Dark Curse got into Xiao Chen's body, it immediately lost contact with him and could no longer respond.

"What's going on?"

Gou Low Old Man's face changed drastically, as if he had encountered something terrible. "Impossible, I have been practicing all my life, there is no way I can make a mistake!"

He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, bit the tip of his tongue and offered blood as a sacrifice.

In an instant, several blood-red runes appeared around him.

With the appearance of these runes, the entire Arena Zone seemed to be filled with a bloody smell.

Many monks hurriedly held their breath, but were surprised to find that the bloody smell was getting stronger and stronger.

Many people immediately changed their expressions and quickly activated Law Power or Zhenyuan to try to resist, but they had little effect and could not be completely suppressed.

In the stands, Crane Cry True Monarch's eyes flashed.

He has recognized the origin of this old man, and he is one of the side sects who practice Blood Curse Path.

If you are not prepared, the ordinary Golden Core cultivator is indeed difficult to fight against.

Xiao Chen There is a high probability that this wave will fail.

But it doesn't matter, now that the truth has been exposed, there is no threat to Esteem Truth Temple.

You only need to refer to the protective methods left by the ancestors in the sect's books to make Talisman and give it to you. You can easily prevent the blood curse from entering the body and regain Arena King.

"Referee, does this count as taking action in advance?"

Xiao Chen turned around and asked, "Can I interrupt him now?"

To be honest, this is a violation, right?

"Pfft~!"

However, before the referee could answer, the old man suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of blood.

When the blood fell on the ground, it turned black and made a "sizzling" sound.

The bloody smell that filled the scene suddenly disappeared, and turned into a violent cough.

"Cough cough, cough cough cough..."

The old man put one hand on the ground and seemed to be suffering from some kind of backlash.

After a few breaths, Gou Low Old Man raised his head tremblingly and looked at Xiao Chen with eyes full of confusion and fear.

Blood Curse Technique, who he has practiced hard for many years, meeting the other person is like a dead leaf meeting a fire, like white snow meeting a blazing sun.

How could there be such a person in the world?

He almost wanted to shout, If you gave birth to me, why would you give birth to me?

"Old man, old man loses!"

He struggled to stand up and bowed slightly. "Thank you Daoist Xiao for your noble hand and keeping an open mind!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the ring, leaving Red Flower Island straight away.

Huh?

Showing off your dignity?

Xiao Chen I don't quite understand what he is talking about.

But anyway, I won.

Upon hearing this, the referee immediately announced, "Xiao Chen won this attack!"

However, the casual cultivators around him heard this very clearly.

Immediately, everyone's eyes widened and they looked at Xiao Chen in shock.

They may have all personally experienced just now how difficult that weird bloody smell is.

You know, they are not even the main targets of attacks.

It can only be regarded as being affected by the aftermath.

However, Xiao Chen, as the first target of that strange attack, survived unscathed.

It even sounded like he was showing mercy during the fight.

"Good boy! They've already finished the fight, but I still don't understand what happened just now."

"Who says it isn't?"

"Although I didn't fully understand it, the old man looked very strenuous just now, while Daoist Xiao looked calm and calm. Comparing the two, it was a clear decision!"

"What this fellow Daoist said makes sense!"

"I didn't even feel the fluctuation of Daoist Xiao's true energy. It was obvious that I won effortlessly."

The monks under the ring were talking a lot.

Several Nascent Soul True Lord people in the stands were also a little surprised.

Xiao Chen, as Body Cultivator, is fast and powerful, which is easy for them to understand.

After all, there are examples of monks who are born with magical bodies or even Spirit Body, and have infinite power.

However, even they couldn't understand the scene just now.

That Blood Curse Technique is originally extremely unpopular, and Heretical Path has been rare for hundreds of years.

However, Xiao Chen was able to give a solution on the spot and successfully won.

Seeing the big from the small shows its profound foundation and wide range of methods.

Previously, everyone only speculated on the origin of Xiao Chen.

But now there is unexpected evidence that he is the descendant of a certain Hidden Dao Heritage.

Especially Crane Cry True Monarch, with a flash of light in his eyes, he began to eliminate the problem in his mind.

Unfortunately, this clue was so unpopular that it was impossible to directly deduce the exact origin.

Soon, the time came to noon on the third day.

The intensity of the battles in the remaining arenas also suddenly increased.

Almost all the casual cultivators under the ring were eliminated. Only Azure Sword True Person and Zhang Shouquan have been waiting to see the situation.

But at this moment, the two of them no longer hesitated.

"I'm Dharma Name Cangjian, please give me some advice from Daoist Xiao!"

Azure Sword True Person carried Flying Sword on stage and performed a beautiful Sword Holding Ceremony.

Xiao Chen responded with clasped fists, "It's not really about teaching, it's just about learning from each other."

The two of them finished their ceremony.

The referee immediately threw up the red ball.

"Daoist Xiao is very powerful, so I will go all out for this next sword attack."

Azure Sword True Person pressed the hilt of the sword with his backhand and proactively reminded, "This will be my strongest sword, but in this case, I can't control the sword's edge to be merciful."

"This sword once killed Golden Core Bandit Cultivator, please be prepared, fellow Daoist!"

Xiao Chen was a little curious when he heard this. "Aren't you afraid that I will prepare in advance and defeat your sword moves?"

Azure Sword True Person's eyes were firm and he answered without hesitation, "If fellow Daoist can take this sword, I am willing to admit defeat."

"Boom~!"

The red cloth ball falls to the ground.

"Cang Lang!"

The sharp sword cry sounded.

Azure Sword True Person immediately drew his sword and struck out. "Sword Shatters the Sky!"

Under normal circumstances, monks will give priority to defense during a fight.

But for Sword Cultivator, especially the top-grade Sword Cultivator, what we always pay attention to is Attack as Defense.

In particular, Azure Sword True Person has realized that Xiao Chen is not simple, so he used his own sword moves at the beginning to get the upper hand.

I saw the Flying Sword in his hand waving down.

A giant sword condensed with true energy and measuring a thousand feet long struck down from the sky at the same time.

Just the wind it brought made a rustling sound, causing pain to the skin of the surrounding casual cultivators.

"Pa~!"

A pair of hands suddenly raised up and clamped the giant sword falling from the sky.

In front of the thousand-foot-long giant sword, the nine-foot-tall Xiao Chen looks extremely small.

The huge sword blade seemed to be able to penetrate his leader as long as it dropped just one foot lower.

However, it was stopped in mid-air at this moment and could not move forward!

It even looked as if Xiao Chen took the initiative and raised a giant sword.

"What!"

"Oh my god! Daoist Xiao actually caught this move with his bare hands!"

"I... I... I, I, Memory Stone, must record this scene!"

The casual cultivators immediately became excited and couldn't believe what they saw.

However, at the next moment, Xiao Chen actually let go!

He calmly lowered his hands from both sides and gave up on lifting.

This move immediately shocked everyone.

What's going on?

What's going on?

Is he going to give up defending the ring?

Various thoughts flashed through everyone's minds, but their eyes immediately focused on the giant sword in the air.

However, the giant sword had clearly lost its hindrance, but it still stagnated in mid-air, as if it was just a shadow.

"Click~!"

Suddenly there was a cracking sound.

Immediately afterwards, under everyone's unbelievable gaze, the giant sword was cracked inch by inch and covered with dense cracks.

In the end, the entire giant sword collapsed into tens of thousands of fragments, melting in the air and becoming the original Spiritual Qi.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone reacted.

It turns out that the Xiao Chen shot just now not only stopped the giant sword, but also completely smashed its inside.

In other words, he actually stood there and took the opponent's strongest sword move with his bare hands, and even completed the breaking move!

After realizing this, the entire Arena Zone fell into silence.

Everyone opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say.

"Fellow Daoist reminded me, so I will also remind you."

Xiao Chen said calmly, "If you get knocked off the ring, it might hurt a little."

Upon hearing this, Azure Sword True Person immediately came back to his senses, with a wry smile on his face.

Immediately, he took the initiative and said another Sword Holding Ceremony: "Fellow Daoist is very powerful, I am willing to accept the defeat!"

"I give up!"
