What One Learns Is a Dharma Treasure
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
Qin Yi, twirling a flute in his hand, chuckled and said, "If Taiyi Sect has no one else, please move on to the next round."
The three members of the Taiyi Sect left silently without saying anything.
They actually still have some people, because according to the rules, each person has to lose three games to be disqualified, and they cannot play against the same opponent for those three games.
All three lost to Qin Yi, which means they all lost once together. Adding to this, Xian Yun had previously lost to Chu Jiantian and Yin Yizhong, so only Xian Yun is eliminated here.
But it's even more embarrassing for them than being completely eliminated.
Being defeated by three opponents in front of everyone, and cleanly and decisively in just a few breaths, even if he has the face to go on stage next, he probably won't have the face to compete with other opponents again.
Qin Yi completely ignored the resentful gazes of the Taiyi Sect disciples, even disregarding the sharp stares of the Taiyi Sect's senior leader. He leisurely took out his "Never-Emptying" Wine Gourd, tilted his head back, and took a swig of wine. "Is there any other fellow cultivator who wishes to offer their guidance?"
The question was exactly the same as Li Qingjun's, even the tone was the same, but the atmosphere was different.
Chu Jiantian laughed heartily, "I'll do it."
Qin Yi watched him fly over on his sword and laughed, "This time I really have to say, you can't beat me."
"How can we go back on our promise?" Chu Jiantian laughed. "You said we wouldn't win based on cultivation level, but only on proving the way of the sword?"
"Not bad." Qin Yi asked, "Do you have any ideas that won't cause any trouble?"
"We won't need any weapons. I'll use two fingers as a sword. You decide what to do."
Qin Yi smiled and said, "Come on."
Chu Jiantian's expression turned serious, and he pointed his fingers straight at Qin Yi's brow.
It was just a pair of fingers, yet it emitted a sharp sword whistle, and a bone-chilling Sword Qi rushed towards you.
Qin Yi swept his palm across the entire body, cutting off the Sword Qi, then bent his fingers and struck Chu Jiantian's two fingers together.
Chu Jiantian moved his two fingers, aiming a slanted strike at the throat. Qin Yi clenched his fist and slammed it into Chu Jiantian's wrist.
Chu Jiantian retreated, but halfway there, he suddenly turned back, like the tide receding and then rising again, his sword aura transforming from delicate to a raging roar!
Qin Yi retracted his fist and launched an attack!
"Clang!"
Although it was just fists and fingers touching, it produced a metallic clang, followed by a surge of Sword-Ray and a concentrated burst of fist energy, colliding again and sending a shower of rocks flying.
Those onlookers who could understand the changes in martial arts were completely mesmerized.
Li Qingjun was quite surprised. "Didn't he use a stick to smash it? How come his small movements are so skillful?"
Cheng Cheng hesitated, unsure whether she should tell her that the guy was fighting a tiny spirit whose arm was shorter than his little finger, and he was actually doing a pretty good job. She wondered if he might be able to transform...
Chu Jiantian took a few steps back, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I have learned a lot."
Qin Yi his hands in a fist and said, "You flatter me."
With many people unfamiliar with martial arts unable to discern the outcome, Chu Jiantian laughed heartily and left with an air of nonchalance, displaying considerable style, which drew admiring glances from several female disciples from other sects.
Qin Yi also felt that the brothers of the Penglai Sword Pavilion didn't need to hang themselves in their own sect. Weren't there plenty of fish in the sea outside? The cold and dashing white-robed swordsmanship, do they know how many people are into that? What a bunch of idiots.
"Hey Qin, my Wuji Sect would like to spar with you on the subtle variations." A scholar-like figure gracefully approached Qin Yi, fanning himself as he sized him up, a hint of provocation in his eyes. "Do you dare accept the challenge?"
Qin Yi scoffed, "Brother Chu is my friend. Who do you think you are, daring to approach me?"
The scholar's expression changed instantly. He hadn't expected Qin Yi, who had just been politely competing with Chu Jiantian, to change his expression so quickly.
Qin Yi had no intention of feigning politeness with these people. The situation was clear: apart from the Penglai Sword Pavilion maintaining neutrality, all the other sects were suspected of collectively targeting the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace. They'd come knocking on their door; what was the point of being polite?
So-called subtle tricks are fine to play with friends, but playing with an enemy whose secrets you don't know is risky. Who knows what kind of tricks they might pull? You might not even be able to tell what kind of Law Treasure they're hiding. Playing with them is just plain stupid.
"Qin Yi," the scholar's face also hardened, "It's always better to be humble in your dealings with others, for there are always people more capable than you."
Qin Yi sized him up for a moment and laughed, "The Soaring Cloud Sixth Layer? Indeed, it's a place where dragons and tigers dwell."
"Good to know," the scholar said indifferently. "You should know how vast the world is..."
Qin Yi interrupted, "Alright, I understand. Let the three of you from your sect come along too."
Scholar: "!!!"
The Wuji Sect stood up, angrily shouting, "Qin Yi, don't be so arrogant!"
"I don't know if I'm being arrogant, or if you're going too far by relentlessly challenging my Senior Brother," Qin Yi sneered. "Enough nonsense, are you just too scared?"
Once something has a beginning, it's easy for it to happen a second time.
I used to think it was shameful for three to fight one, but ever since the three Taiyi Sect all lost, it doesn't seem so strange for others to come out in groups of three.
Soon, three scholars from the Wuji Sect surrounded Qin Yi, their expressions solemn.
Qin Yi smiled slightly.
He wasn't just watching for fun; he was observing all the opponents' tactics.
This Wuji Sect seems to use the Five Elements Technique Method as a form of hard martial arts, similar to things like the Heavenly Frost Fist and the Frost Palm. Their primary source of damage isn't True Qi or Gang Qi, but the power of the Five Elements, and their attack patterns possess the flexibility of Martial Cultivation. It's actually quite interesting. Under normal circumstances, Qin Yi might have wanted to spar with them to test his skills, but he wasn't in the mood right now.
The three scholars, their figures intertwined, leaped forward.
Qin Yi took a half-step to the side.
Just this half-step made the elders of the Wuji Sect on the sidelines feel a slight jolt in their hearts.
The three of them were secretly aligned with some kind of formation, but Qin Yi's half-step struck the weakest point of the formation.
At the same time, a scholar suddenly felt a burning sensation behind him.
Someone on the sidelines shouted urgently, "Fire! Senior Brother Ting Feng, there's fire behind you!"
The Vermilion Bird Sacrifice Fire inherits the sneak attack of the previous Square Inch Sacrifice Fire, and also has the heat of the Vermilion Bird Flame. How can Ting Feng defend against it?
While he was frantically dealing with the sudden flames erupting on his back, the three men's formation had been completely broken.
Qin Yi took another step to the side, dodging a punch and a palm strike, and suddenly raised his flute, as if to play it.
The three of them had taken precautions and protected their five senses, even using their souls to resist the demonic sound.
Before the flute even reached Qin Yi's lips, the sound had already come out—he only needed to press the holes to produce sound, but few people knew this.
This time it's not resonance, it's not soul-capturing...
It's physics.
"Heaven Collapse"!
When the formation is in place, they can definitely withstand the sonic attack together. But when the formation is scattered and everyone is in a flurry of activity, it's like being mercilessly swept by a scythe, leaving them to fight each other alone.
Ting Feng, who was dealing with the Vermilion Bird's sacrificial fire, didn't even have time to react before being swept away by the violent sound waves, his body torn to shreds, and he fell headfirst out.
The scholar at the Soaring Cloud Sixth Layer managed to withstand the attack and retreat. But the next moment, he saw Qin Yi approach his other junior brother, and a flute appeared between his eyebrows.
"A flute can actually be used as a weapon." Qin Yi's voice could be faintly heard.
"Bang!" Another scholar fell headfirst out.
Only the scholar at the Soaring Cloud Sixth Layer remained on the field, and only then did he have time to unleash his Law Treasure. It wasn't that they didn't want to use their Law Treasure from the start, but it was simply too embarrassing for three against one to rush into using their Law Treasure; their first reaction was that they wouldn't play like that.
But as it turns out, if you don't use your magic Law Treasure first, you might not even have the chance to use Law Treasure at all.
Because what Qin Yi learned was itself Law Treasure.
A sword-shaped magic Law Treasure at the peak of the Cloud Soaring Realm directly locked onto Qin Yi.
Qin Yi calmly said, "Next time you'll probably remember to use your Law Treasure as soon as you make your entrance, don't be silly."
As the words were spoken, they suddenly disappeared.
Invisibility.
The Law Treasure suddenly lost its target. The scholar quickly sensed Qin Yi's location and adjusted the Law Treasure's lock. But even with that slight time difference, a violent sonic wave swept over.
"Heaven Collapse" transforms area-of-effect attacks into single-target attacks, concentrating sound waves into a single beam.
"Clang!"
The Law Treasure shattered, and the scholar fell headfirst out of the room.
Qin Yi revealed himself and followed closely behind.
As the scholar flew backward, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes, and a small, exquisite Sleeve Arrow- like Law Treasure appeared in his sleeve.
Qin Yi suddenly appeared beside him. "Hi!"
The scholar looked as if he had seen a ghost, and twisted his waist to shoot out the Sleeve Arrow, but Qin Yi had already taken the initiative and kicked him in the waist.
"Thump!"
The scholar fell into the jumbled rocks at the edge of the platform and never moved again.
The entire audience was stunned.
This was despite being well-prepared, having formed formations, used magical Law Treasure, and prepared for ambushes, yet he still managed to defeat three of them cleanly and decisively.
Qin Yi stood still and slowly said, "Is there anyone else who would like to offer their guidance?"
