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

Chapter 125, Section 124: Appearing and Disappearing Unpredictably

Since it's a head-on competition, it's much faster than clearing the first round.

The quality of the performance is by no means inferior.

As the matches unfolded across the three battlefields, no team could afford to hide their true strength against equally formidable opponents.

Hu Yifei and the others kept a close eye on the Tianhe team, constantly cursing them to lose.

Unfortunately, the Jiuyang Academy team from Cangwu Prefecture ultimately fell short.

Their captain was enveloped by the anti-magic aura of the Spirit-Suppressing Insect at a crucial moment, losing eighty percent of his strength and being eliminated first.

Ultimately, they were defeated and forced out of the arena by the Tianhe Academy team.

Tianhe Academy has successfully advanced.

Hu Yifei was filled with regret, "It was so close, why didn't we take precautions against it?"

Chen Lingsu also worriedly said, "It seems that the anti-magic aura of the Soul-Suppressing Insects is also limited. It would be great if we could help Li Chunfeng block the aura attack."

Li Chunfeng said, "No need to worry. Now that we've come this far, you should enjoy the game."

The four final teams have been determined.

Semifinal matchups:

The Shanhai Academy team of Shanhai Province, fighting against the Yellow Emperor Academy team of Shanhai Province.

The Leize Buzhou Shundi Academy team versus the Guixu Buzhou Tianhe Academy team.

As a star contestant in this year's Qingyun Ranking Competition, Li made another appearance, drawing enthusiastic cheers from the audience. The host also kept cracking jokes while seriously analyzing the strengths of the two teams.

The Huangdi Academy team, which competes in the Battle of Zhulu Province, has seven members, including substitutes, all of whom are extremely strong.

In the individual competition of the Mountain and Sea Continent, he even has the potential to compete for a top ten spot.

Unfortunately, no one could restrain Li Chunfeng.

Anyone with eyes can see that they have no chance of winning.

Viewers are eagerly anticipating the winner between the two teams, Raize and Guixu.

The battle begins.

The Zhulu team adjusted their starting lineup, sending in five cultivators.

The moment the countdown ended, the five had already completed their demonic transformation, turning into five streaks of light in their strongest form, and attacking Li Chunfeng in an instant without regard for anything else.

Li Chunfeng neither dodged nor avoided, but simply erected an invisible shield of mental energy.

No matter how their spells landed on it, they could only create ripples.

"Damn it, is this a telekinetic shield?"

"Evil-Splitting Divine Light Cannon!"

Yang Qian, the captain of the Chasing Deer team, suddenly unleashed a powerful white beam of light from the center of his forehead, a vertical eye appearing directly above his head. This divine light, like a cannon, could penetrate and dissolve any defense mediated by soul power. Its power and range were directly proportional to the amount of soul power output.

It's extremely powerful; it's his trump card.

"boom!"

A massive beam of light struck the shield, and after a violent tremor, the Heavenly Rank Psychic Shield was pierced for the first time.

The void itself trembled violently, and the earth cracked, but Li Chunfeng had vanished without a trace.

As the sky above the battlefield suddenly brightened, the group tried to struggle a bit more, but Yang Qian was indeed incredibly strong. He pointed his sword at the sky, and a flying sword instantly split into countless sword lights, heading towards the numerous lantern ghost clones.

He exerted all his strength, commanding the sword light to bombard like rain, destroying hundreds of lantern ghost clones, but he himself was also covered by soul fireballs and was eliminated in frustration.

The battle is over.

The group was teleported back to the floating island.

Based on the preliminary results, the Zhulu team is behind Lei Ze and Gui Xu. Regardless of who wins between Lei Ze and Gui Xu in the end, this team from Zhulu Buzhou can only rank fourth in this Qingyun Ranking Team Competition.

The outcome was already decided, and the group remained relatively calm.

Yang Qian walked towards Li Chunfeng and said, "Let's get acquainted. I am Yang Qian from the Zhulu Huangdi Academy."

"Shanhai Academy, Li Chunfeng!"

"My Rift God Light Cannon is a Heaven-Rank talent inheritance, and your psychic shield was able to withstand it. I suppose it's also a Heaven-Rank spell. How did you cultivate it so quickly?"

Li Chunfeng was also very interested in his Demon-Splitting Divine Light Cannon, and smiled, "Let's talk about it later."

Although Yang Qian wanted to find out the answer, he knew it wasn't the right time.

"it is good!"

After exchanging contact information, the two stepped aside.

The Sky Cloud Ranking reappeared, and the names of Yang Qian and others appeared one by one on the Sky Cloud Ranking and the Mountain and Sea General Ranking, receiving congratulations from countless fans and viewers outside the arena who were vying for supremacy in various states.

The battle between the Leize and Guixu teams has begun.

Yang Qian and the others were not teleported away. With a slightly teasing tone, Yang Qian asked Li Chunfeng, "Who do you hope will win?"

"Return to the ruins."

"Oh? Then it seems the championship is already a foregone conclusion."

Li Chunfeng nodded and readily admitted it.

The battle began, and the two teams were evenly matched.

The members of the Lei Ze Bu Zhou team are relatively evenly matched in strength. Captain Lei Runsheng is slightly stronger, but his lightning magic is extremely powerful and is the best weapon for breaking through enemy lines.

The Guixu team's anti-spirit insects ultimately chose to banish Lei Runsheng's magic.

Even without his Thunder Law, Lei Runsheng still displayed a powerful martial arts physique, and his swordsmanship caused the opposing players of the Guixu team a lot of trouble.

The Soul-Suppressing Insect possesses formidable single-target magic-suppressing power, but unfortunately, it seems unable to offer its master much assistance in combat.

"Could it be that Team Guixu is going to lose?"

"Doesn't that mean Team Shan Hai is a sure thing to win the championship?"

This was the general consensus among the audience.

The magic-suppressing aura surrounding Lei Runsheng ultimately affected his strength. Once his opponents became familiar with his fighting style, his swordsmanship became less threatening.

Both sides have given their all and are cooperating seamlessly.

In the absence of any mistakes, the final outcome is truly decided by just this narrow margin.

Lei Runsheng ultimately couldn't withstand the attack and was unexpectedly hit by a sonic spell, gradually allowing his opponents to turn the tide of the game. His disadvantage also affected his teammates' performance.

The Guixu team, on the other hand, played steadily and gradually expanded their advantage, and the scales of victory slowly tipped in their favor.

Such a wonderful match was a feast for the eyes of the audience.

Ultimately, the Guixu Buzhou Tianhe Academy team pulled off an upset against the Leize Buzhou Shundi Academy team, successfully advancing to the next round.

They will face off against the Shan Hai Academy team in the highly anticipated finals.

After the break, the final competition began. The Haotian Mirror cast its light, and both contestants were teleported into the Demon Suppression Tower space.

A simple, unadorned stone mortar sits amidst the stars.

The two sides each stood on one side.

Li Chunfeng could see they were nervous, and said in a relaxed tone, "Do you know why I prefer to face the Guixu team?"

"what?"

Hu Yifei and the others were taken aback; why were they saying these things at this time?

Li Chunfeng laughed and said, "Everyone has been practicing for so long, but you don't usually have a chance to perform. The audience only thinks you are my subordinates, but they don't know how much it helps your growth to be on this stage. Today is the time to test your results and let people see your progress."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then felt a warm feeling in their hearts, as something called morale was constantly rising.

When the last grain of sand falls from the middle hourglass.

Everyone immediately sprang into action.

She Gongjie, the owner of the Guixu team's anti-spirit insect, immediately locked his divine sense onto Li Chunfeng, but found nothing.

"Oh no, it's gone!"

The Guixu team members were startled. They had cast their anti-magic aura on Li Chunfeng at the start of the battle, which was their only way to win. But it had failed right at the beginning. How were they supposed to fight now?

"What does 'disappeared' mean? Did it go invisible?"

"It simply disappeared."

She Gongjie was sweating profusely. "Even if he were to become invisible, he would still be unable to escape my spirit-repelling insects' tracking. But now Li Chunfeng has indeed disappeared."

Li Chunfeng vanished without a trace from the arena, disappearing into the void.

Even Hu Yifei and the others were puzzled by his whereabouts.

After all, teleportation only makes you disappear for a short time; it can't make you disappear for such a long period of time.

"Never mind, Xiao Wu, Su Hao, you two come with me first and take care of his teammates. Damin, protect the little snake." The captain quickly changed tactics.

Chen Lingsu and her companions were no longer the invisible followers they once were. Hu Yifei radiated golden light, transforming into a miniature Buddha image resembling himself, guarding his teammates. Chen Lingsu casually waved her hand, and a Soul Refining Vine burst forth from the earth, splitting into five tendrils that coiled around the opponent.

Jiang Lele summoned an ice demon, merging with her demonic pet to transform into a completely icy being, her hair turning snow-white. Her purplish-red lips were incredibly alluring. She opened her mouth and blew a breath, instantly causing the temperature on the entire arena to plummet, and countless ice spikes shot towards her opponents like arrows.

Xia Xing slashed his longsword through the air, successfully stopping an opponent who suddenly approached. He was then blasted away by Hu Yifei's alternate version of Golden Buddha with a punch.

Without Li Chunfeng's appearance, the Guixu team dared not launch a full-scale attack.

She Gongjie looked panicked, and together with his teammates, they were on guard around, fearing that a sharp blade might jump out from an inconspicuous corner and eliminate him.

The spectators were completely baffled. What kind of tactic was this?
Where did Li Chunfeng go again?

Li Chunfeng was just conducting a small test, and as it turned out, the anti-magic aura could not cross the void and hit him.

Suddenly, an ordinary-looking lantern ghost floated into the arena, instantly putting both sides on edge.

It also drew the attention of countless viewers.

Phantom clone.

With a "whoosh," the light shone brightly, and the 108,000 lanterns illuminated the clouds, turning them a deep red.

What is it like to be surrounded by countless ghosts?
Watching the live broadcast from the sidelines, one is simply awestruck. But when they experience it firsthand, it's a completely different feeling.

That's tens of thousands of third-tier auras, it's truly a cursed spell.

"What should we do, Captain? Should we banish this lantern ghost?" She Gongjie was at a loss.

"immediately!"

Guixu Captain Yuwen Guangchao was furious; if they had been a moment later, they would have been blasted away.

As the aura of the spirit-repelling insects descended, the countless lantern ghost incarnations vanished without a trace.

It paused for a moment, then tried to spit out a fireball, but only managed to spew out a few sparks.

This startled the sixth lantern, who dared not fight any longer and flew away in a flash. A figure appeared in the void, with six black wings hovering behind him; it was Li Chunfeng, who had merged with the Mosquito Daoist and transformed into a demon.

"咿咿~"

The lamp was lit and begged for a sticker; it was terrified.

Li Chunfeng patted its big head, and with a flick of his wrist, the Demon Axe appeared in his hand.

With a "boom," a Heaven-Splitting Axe cleaved straight down on Captain Guixu.

Yuwen Guangchao had no choice; facing Li Chunfeng was better than facing the Lantern Ghost.

He was no pushover either. His Shadow Moon Demon Wolf roared and unleashed a Crescent Moon Dance towards the enormous demonic axe that seemed poised to split the heavens and earth.

Li Chunfeng's figure suddenly vanished without a trace, and when he reappeared, the axe had already landed on Yuwen Guangchao's head.

Yuwen Guangchao reacted quickly, roaring as he braced his long sword with both hands at the critical moment, desperately blocking the sudden attack.

Under the powerful attack of the "Slaying" technique, he only lasted a moment before being blasted away.

Li Chunfeng's attacks came wave after wave, like a violent storm.

His figure flashed again, and in the next instant, he appeared behind an opponent fighting Hu Yifei, unleashing a devastating Heaven-Shattering Slash.

buzz~
Before the axe even fell, the "Zhen" technique had already caused ripples to appear in the void.

"Ah~"

The man screamed in agony as he was attacked from both sides. His defenses were instantly breached by the Demon Axe, and then Hu Yifei slashed him hard, sending him flying.

While still in the air, the person was already enveloped by the light of the Demon Suppression Tower's array spirit and teleported away.

"Cool!"

Hu Yifei roared and turned to slash forward with his sword to support Xia Xing.

Li Chunfeng smiled, took a step, and disappeared again.

The four members of the Guixu team immediately felt a chill run down their spines. Hesitant and timid, they were lucky if they could unleash 70% of their full strength.

How could they not know that Li Chunfeng must have mastered extremely rare void-type spells?

This elusive fighting style is simply irritating.

They might not be able to withstand a knife if it's out in the open, but it's far more intimidating when it's hidden in the shadows.

The next instant, a dragon's roar shook the heavens.

A terrifying fiery dragon roared out of the void and engulfed the common people who were protecting She Gongjie.

Li Chunfeng's close combat skills, while not as dazzling as Lantern Ghost's, are still extremely powerful, belonging to the top tier.

This battle was no less intense than the semi-final match between Lei Ze and Gui Xu.

Even Li Chunfeng's teammates came into the viewer's sight and gained some recognition.
