Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 107, Section 106: Stopping War and Using War to Stop War
"boom--"

The next day, when the competition started, the 100,000 spectators at the scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

The semi-finals are also the final four matches.

First battle.

From mountains and seas, war, and the Kunpeng.

The battlefield for this battle, officially designated, is Guiyuan Ancient Temple.

Huang Tianhe, the captain of the Kunpeng team, is also a big shot in Yuancheng.

Currently ranked 38th on the Super God Zed leaderboard, and occasionally breaking into the top ten, this ranking is even higher than Li Chunfeng's current ranking.

He is a true genius in the world of mountains and seas.

To use an old saying: "This child has the potential to become a yang spirit!"

Huang Tianhe's natal demon pet is an Earth War Bear, which possesses super bloodline talent combat skills such as Earth Guardian, City-Breaking Giant Hammer, Earth-Splitting Roar, and Raging Thunder.

He is also one of the strongest people on this year's Qingyun Ranking.

Huang Tianhe was a genius who had become famous early on, while Li Chunfeng was a dark horse who suddenly rose to prominence. More people were optimistic about Huang Tianhe than about Li Chunfeng.

In the previous battle, Huang Tianhe used the "City-Breaking Giant Hammer" five times to forcibly break through the shield, used the "Earth-Splitting Roar" four times to shatter the enemy's camp, and used the "Raging Thunder" once to behead a key figure, yet he still seemed to be in complete control, which shows that his soul power is extremely profound.

This battle, because of the presence of these two people, was highly anticipated by many viewers, and was even described by the two hosts, "Hum and Ha," as a preview of the finals.

The two teams stepped onto the stage, and Huang Tianhe, as always, wore a faint smile. He was an extremely confident person.

He has everything: background, family connections, talent, and perseverance.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always been the pride of those around him, but he has not become complacent because of this. After he became sensible, he set a clear life goal, which is to achieve the Great Dao of Yang Shen.

In his view, this Qingyun Ranking Competition was just a small test on the road to becoming a god.

Li Chunfeng, as always, wore a bone mask to cover his face.

Neither side showed any intention of communicating.

"Teleport!"

Guiyuan Ancient Temple is a temple with a long history. Two long temple streets are built around the two long streams that flow down from the high mountains, winding their way down to the foot of the mountain.

Once upon a time, the temple was surrounded by powerful Buddhist energy, making it a sacred Buddhist site for practicing Buddhism and purifying the mind.

Then, a sudden invasion by extraterrestrial demons occurred, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, with many beings being transformed into demons. Although the invasion was eventually resolved, the ancient temple fell into ruin overnight. To prevent the demons from escaping, the Guiyuan Ancient Temple was sealed by a great formation, turning it into a "forbidden area."

Unexpectedly, the semi-finals of this tournament will be held here.

Those viewers who knew about Guiyuan Ancient Temple were quite surprised, as there were many demons and monsters living in Guiyuan Ancient Temple.

"Ok?"

As soon as they landed, they immediately realized that both teams were at the foot of the mountain and not far from each other.

The tension immediately escalated, and they were almost about to clash and fight on the spot!
At that moment, a rumbling sound came down from the sky.

"Semi-final Battlefield Rules: Each team must slay 100 demons before the battle can begin. The more demons slayed, the greater the buff!"

A white, mysterious light descended from the sky and fell upon everyone.

"Ceasefire Talisman: 0/100!"

Hu Yifei glanced at the mysterious light surrounding him, then awkwardly sheathed his Demon-Slaying Blade. "They won't even let us fight? What kind of bullshit rules are these?"

Chen Lingsu reminded him with a charmingly innocent look, "Shh, keep your voice down, we're live streaming."

"oh oh."

Hu Yifei scratched his head. "We need to kill a hundred demons before we can start fighting. If one team kills a hundred demons first, does that mean they can attack first, and can the other team retaliate?"

"That's a problem!" Xia Xing pondered, stroking his chin, feigning profundity.

There are two paths leading up the mountain ahead, and the meaning is quite clear.

Huang Tianhe glanced at Li Chunfeng from afar and whispered, "Let's go!"

He led the team to the top of one of the mountain roads.

“Let’s go too!” Li Chunfeng stepped forward.

The mountain path was lined with densely packed ancient buildings, yet no one lived there. Strangely, however, there were no cobwebs on these buildings, the streams in front of them were clear and flowing, there were no rotten leaves piled up on the streets, and there was even very little dust.

Various stalls were still set up at the entrance of Xiaoxi Zheng Street, and some food stalls and steamed bun stalls had not yet been packed up. There were also clothes hanging high in front of some residents' doors, as if the owners were in a hurry when they left and did not have time to pack up.

There's something weird everywhere.

As soon as they stepped onto the mountain path, they felt a sense of gloom.

Even though the sun was shining brightly overhead, and the dense forest along the street wasn't tall enough to completely block out the sunlight, once inside, it was a completely dark and gloomy place where no light could be seen. It was as if the word "danger" was written on the open.

"It's so dark here," Jiang Lele muttered subconsciously.

Li Chunfeng, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and looked at the corner ahead. "Let's make this place a little brighter."

With a thought, the lamp appeared.

This time, only 10,800 clones were created, spreading out and covering the entire mountain path. Large red lanterns, like the colorful lanterns hung in front of every household during festivals, were displayed high in front of every house along the street.

In an instant, the eyes of countless spectators outside the stadium lit up.

After countless years, the main street of this ancient temple and stream is once again illuminated. It is beautiful, simple, and natural.

If the location were reversed, with the ancient temple bathed in Buddhist light, its incense burning brightly, and throngs of worshippers, this place would undoubtedly be a scenic tourist destination. If there were no danger here, spectators might even want to come and visit.

However beautiful it is.

Many more insiders, however, were quietly counting the number of Li Chunfeng's demonic pet clones.

After counting for a while, I couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Hiss, there are way too many clones."

The two hosts, Heng and Ha, took the opportunity to provide some commentary. Heng Lun said, "It seems that Li Chunfeng's natal pet is a lantern ghost..."

Hachi continued, "That's right, it is indeed a Lantern Ghost, but he has never shown the power of his natal pet before. Many people still think that his natal pet must be a powerful Bone Spirit." "He truly dares to think what others dare not, but this Lantern Ghost is obviously not comparable to an ordinary Lantern Ghost. Ten thousand eight hundred clones, truly awe-inspiring. However, I would like to advise those fellow cultivators who are about to choose their natal pet not to blindly imitate him. What others can do, you may not be able to do. Using a Lantern Ghost as your natal pet is too risky."

Not to mention the scenery outside the venue.

After all, they were brothers who shared a room, and Hu Yifei knew Li Chunfeng best.

Upon seeing Li Chunfeng's actions, he immediately knew that the situation had changed, and as if by reflex, his whole body radiated golden light, and he held his sword horizontally in front of him.

"Hiss~"

A barely audible roar reached everyone's ears.

"come out!"

Relying on the defensive golden light of his Indestructible Vajra Body, Hu Yifei took the lead and rushed into the dark corner. With a loud bang, the two figures, entangled, crashed through the wall and tumbled out.

It was a demon with a jet-black body, a hunched back, three pairs of eyes on its face, and a protruding tailbone.

Under the radiant light of the Heart Lamp, the demon emitted white smoke from its body, appearing to be in extreme pain.

Xia Xing and the others rushed forward to help Hu Yifei.

At that moment, a red light flashed, and the blood-patterned flying needle flew out, piercing through the demon's head. The demon's body stiffened, and in the next instant, it was beheaded by Hu Yifei's Demon-Subduing Blade.

"Ceasefire Talisman: 1/100!"

A buoy-like notification appeared above everyone's heads.

"This is a demon... and it's quite powerful." Hu Yifei looked slightly disheveled, but was actually unharmed.

The demon is quite powerful; he could defeat it alone, but he couldn't finish the battle quickly.

He couldn't help but recall that Li Chunfeng had also encountered demons during his first tribulation.

There were far more demons back then than there are now.

In fact, Hu Yifei's innate indestructible Vajra Body has great potential, but the time since his Holy Body awakened is too short. Compared with those veteran martial arts geniuses, he has too many shortcomings.

Aside from his decent defense, his other skills, such as movement, martial arts, combat techniques, and experience, are all unremarkable.

He lacked time to develop, but the power of his Undying Vajra Body was already beginning to show, and the golden light protecting him seemed to have a restraining effect on demons. Unlike cultivators, martial artists were not threatened by the Abyss Tribulation; as long as he was willing to work hard, his rise to power was only a matter of time.

Those in the know can see this clearly.

Li Chunfeng glanced at the numbers behind the Ceasefire Talisman and said, "It seems that in this battle, both sides will have to compete in the speed at which they kill demons. I'll go first, and you can follow me!"

"it is good!"

Hu Yifei said, "You should also be careful; the opponent is quite strong this time."

"Understood, I'm off!"

Li Chunfeng instantly merged with Mosquito Taoist, and his demonic form manifested.

He was completely enveloped in the Shadow Horn Armor, with six black wings of light extending from his back. Without making any visible movements, he simply flapped his black wings and flew off at an astonishing speed.

All the lantern ghost clones along the way transformed into streaks of dark light and followed along.

A moment later, the continuous roars of demons echoed along the road ahead.

But the roar was abruptly cut short. The sound carried further and further into the winding, deep mountains, echoing for a long time.

The concrete results are reflected in the cursors floating above everyone's heads.

The number was climbing rapidly, jumping almost every few seconds, and later it even jumped several times in a row.

The audience was stunned.

Even the two hosts, 'Hum Ha' and 'Hum Ha', momentarily forgot to narrate when they saw this scene.

Xu Changliu was also among the audience. When he saw that Li Chunfeng had only manifested more than 10,000 lantern ghosts, he knew that Li Chunfeng had not used his full strength.

"One person can form an army; that's all there is to it."

Before Li Chunfeng even reached the halfway point of the mountain, the number of battle tokens for stopping the war had already been filled.

Immediately, the white light around him changed, transforming into a crimson radiance.

"Use weapon to stop weaponry: 1!"

Bathed in the crimson light, Li Chunfeng immediately felt his overall condition improve.

"What kind of rune is this? It even has a blessing effect?"

Although the current blessing is very weak, almost imperceptible, what if the blessing could continue?
He immediately realized the importance of quickly eliminating the demons.

Although I really want to face the 38th ranked fighter head-on with sheer strength, I'm sorry, but now I have to finish this quickly!

Let's keep the fair fight in Yuan City.

He immediately sped up, pushing horizontally upwards.

The higher you go, the more demons there are. But the lantern ghosts have even more clones, launching suicidal attacks. Outnumbered, few demons can withstand five breaths of pressure.

Li Chunfeng stood in mid-air, two beams of mysterious light, one red and one blue, swirling around him. Occasionally, he would slash downwards, unleashing a sword beam that pierced through the heads of demons. Wherever he passed, no one could withstand a single blow.

The audience was stunned.

They could only watch helplessly as the number of "war talismans that stop war with weapons" kept soaring.

By the time he rushed into the Guiyuan Ancient Temple, the crimson light emanating from his body had become extremely dense, expanding to a radius of three zhang, more than doubling his overall strength.

Even the lantern ghost's clone was enveloped in a layer of crimson light.

This demonstrates the wide range of blessings bestowed by this rune.

Before the Kunpeng team even reached the top of the mountain, Li Chunfeng didn't stop at all. He turned around and rushed down another path.

This isn't enough that they wiped out all the demons on their own path; they have to steal monsters from others too!

So everyone is speculating that the Kunpeng team might be eliminated in this match.
