Devour

Cheng Bai looked at the clothing of the Wen family member and found it was similar to that of the man in brocade clothes who was hit by the dart and sprayed blood. He thought to himself, "The man outside is obviously from the Wen family. The head of the family looks a bit like Wen Mingxuan. They must be from the same lineage."

Shen Ya waited for a long time, and when he saw Qiu Bainian coming back, he asked, "Senior Qiu, have you given up?"

Qiu Bainian turned his head and looked at the Shen family camp, and asked: "Your child has grown up? He challenged the elders in person and refused to listen to good advice. Is this the way of etiquette?"

The Shen family was once the top family in Tianshu City, competing with the Qi family. After the fall of Tianshu City, they took refuge in a remote town. The head of the family has just been replaced by a younger one, who is Shen Rong, whom Cheng Bai had dealt with in Xingyue Oasis, and is also Shen Ya's father.

Shen Rong said calmly, "President Qiu is very generous. Shen Ya is just proposing. Whether to approve it depends on what President Qiu thinks. If you don't want to accept the challenge, please give up."

Qiu Bainian glanced towards his own academy's camp. His two colleagues, Si Bao and Luo Youwei, seemed unwilling to come forward. They neither agreed nor opposed.

He could only sigh and say, "Well, since that's the intention of the Patriarch of the Shen family, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my fellow Taoists in the world." He held his head high and chest out, snorted heavily, took out a strange-looking exquisite hammer, and walked forward.

Qiu Bainian has a thin body but broad bones. When he was young, he was famous for his supernatural powers and his hammer skills were unparalleled in the world, which is why he has disciples like Tie Baohan.

His hammer is not the common solid melon hammer or octagonal hammer, but a hammer with eight sharp and undulating leaf blades. At first glance, it looks like a hammer head with a sharp crown.

Ruan Taoran, who was lying on the back of the black beetle, had regained consciousness and said with wide eyes, "Qiu Bainian's weapon seems to be from the south. It is extremely powerful and is very different from the war hammer forged by the Weapon Sect."

Cheng Bai had seen this kind of weapon before. It was called Yanfeng. It was forged by the Faceless Clan with burning iron and inlaid with two Huodou crystal cores. It was ranked as a high-grade magical weapon, one grade lower than Canglang Axe, and had always been rare in the Northern Continent.

Hearing that Ruan Taoran's internal energy was sufficient, Cheng Bai knew that his injuries would soon recover under the effect of the Blood Ginseng Pill. He nodded and said, "It doesn't mean much to Shen Ya. The Phantom Dragon Fire Fang Spear is four grades higher than the Flame Wind Hammer."

The two men in the field started fighting, launching hammer, wind, gun and shadow, and using all kinds of strange methods in the field.

Qiu Bainian has accumulated three hundred years of skills, and his Mountain-Suppressing Hammer technique is more than ten times stronger than that of his disciple Tie Baohan. His might created a howling gale that spread hundreds of meters away, and the onlookers with weaker skills were blown away and lost their balance.

The Yanfeng Hammer rolled up a boiling hot storm, and the hair and beards of those who were close to it were burned and curled. They could not help but be secretly horrified and retreated again and again.

Qiu Bainian's domain was hard to see in the past, and many people didn't know what it was. Now they know that it is in the shape of a beast, resembling a deer, with four legs and a long tail, and a single horn on its head. It lowers its head and charges, and no one can stop it wherever it goes, as if thousands of troops would be knocked into pieces and flesh and blood would fly everywhere.

But the deer beast was blocked, only because the opponent was not a human. The overlord with a dragon head and a human body tightly grasped the deer beast's horn, and a faint electric current held its head, suppressing the opponent so much that he could not move.

Cheng Bai thought to himself: "The Deer Beast Vision is mediocre and cannot deal with the Overlord Body."

He had been powerfully knocked into the starry sky by Shan Liu not long ago, and his vision had improved a lot. He didn't think much of this trick.

Qiu Bainian was at a disadvantage in the fight with the visions, and secretly regretted: "Am I not as good as the Overlord Body after all? If my unicorn beast can grow wings, I will become the holy beast Tianlu, and he will not be able to do anything to me. What a pity..."

The reality was not so regrettable. He gradually could not use the Yanfeng Hammer in his hand. The Zhenshan Hammer Technique was originally defeated by the Overlord Spear Technique, not to mention that his weapon was obviously inferior to the opponent's.

Shen Ya's domineering spear skills were even better than Guan Wanlan's. His blocking, grabbing, stabbing, picking, chopping and piercing moves were elegant and powerful, like a giant dragon pouncing, flying through the wind, swift and deadly, and the irresistible aura of a dominant power filled the air.

The force field has been opened, covering Qiu Bainian. The opponent gradually becomes sluggish and slow, walking towards the slaughterhouse step by step without realizing it.

Cheng Bai, a bystander, commented: "Compared to previous fights with me, Shen Ya has made considerable progress in terms of skills, moves, artistic conception, and domain. From the current point of view, he has given the opponent eight times the gravity and a certain pressure to create an illusion. Experts only fight for a slim chance of winning, and those below the Guangfa realm are basically sure to win with this move."

Ruan Taoran's injuries gradually recovered, and he continued, "When it comes to Shanliu, his ability is even greater. He doesn't just use it to restrain his speed, but he can kill his opponent directly. He is crushed to death by his own body under the extraordinary gravity. He is much stronger."

Hei Long was dejected and said, "I have been running around for many years. I thought I could make great achievements, but I didn't expect to become a plaything of the spirit. I really don't know where to go in the future."

Cheng Baiqi asked: "You are so experienced and qualified, can't you join other dragon tribes?"

In the eyes of humans, a three thousand year old dragon should be the senior among the seniors.

Unexpectedly, Hei Long shook his head and said, "I am still young, I have only just come of age, how can I have any qualifications? There are still some sub-dragons left in Qiongqi Continent, not worth conspiring with. I am a wandering dragon, I have nowhere to go."

This means that you are neither high nor low.

Cheng Bai smiled and said, "This is easy to do. Now we have a chance to win a spot here and board the spirit boat to go to Mount Xumi. I'm sure there will be more dragons there."

Black Dragonfly stammered, "That's the only way."

As they were talking, the two men who had fought for dozens of moves had already decided the winner.

The dragon-headed overlord was extremely powerful. He held the horn with one hand, preventing the deer from struggling to break free, and with his other hand he slammed it hard on the forehead. His might was so fierce that he knocked the strange spirit down.

The deer beast vision was severely injured and screamed out of its wits. After its defeat, it quickly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed in this world.

Qiu Bainian was closely related to it and felt the same way. Although his body was not damaged, he felt dizzy. Coupled with the pressure from the slaughterhouse, the moves of the Yanfeng Hammer in his hand became chaotic.

Shen Ya thrust his spear forward and used the move "Ba Wang Kai Lu" to knock the Yan Feng Hammer away. When it fell to the ground, it did not leave a hole, but instead the hammer head was deeply nailed into the ground, leaving only the handle exposed. His force was far more precise than before.

Qiu Bainian lost his weapon, the door was wide open, he was unable to defend himself, and he closed his eyes and waited for death.

Shen Ya approached his opponent's chest with the tip of his spear, and said calmly: "Senior Qiu, you lose and are no longer eligible to board the ship."

This made him sadder than killing Qiu Bainian. He turned around and walked back to the academy camp in a daze, forgetting to pick up the Yanfeng Hammer. Fortunately, a clever academy disciple ran up to help pull it out and took it back, so he didn't embarrass himself any more.

Qiu Bainian stood in the academy camp and whispered, "I have lost all my face. There is nothing I can do."

Luo Youwei said softly, "We can only let them do what they want. It would be better if you tried to test them. Even if we join forces, we may not be able to defeat Shen Ya. The conservative faction is doomed."

Si Bao narrowed his eyes and said loudly: "Dragon Spear King is very powerful, why didn't he win the top three in the provincial examination?"

Shen Ya said bluntly: "The boy was defeated by the winner a long time ago, so let's not talk about it."

Si Bao nodded and said, "Don't be humble or arrogant. Your future achievements in cultivation will definitely far exceed the combined efforts of the three of us old men."

Shen Ya bowed his hands in greeting and said loudly: "Seniors, are there any other challengers?"

Seeing that Ruan Taoran had almost recovered, Hei Long put him down and strode forward, saying, "I am from the Black Dragon Clan. Hei Long is willing to learn from you."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. Although the demon clan had been invited in some way, it was only nominal. Everyone present knew that 90% of them would not come. They did not expect that a demon king would really climb up the Sword Cliff and come to challenge openly.

There were more than 20,000 people in front of Shen Ya. He did not notice Cheng Bai, Hei Long, and Ruan Taoran coming. Seeing this, he was overjoyed and said, "You are back. The Black Dragon King is famous and has been invited. There is no need to fight. Please take a seat inside."

Hei Long was surprised and asked, "What does this mean?"

Shen Ya said truthfully: "Our meeting to meet the calamity is to preserve the excellent seeds of each race and prevent them from being exterminated by war. Individuals who are directly invited can board the boat directly, which is different from the invited sects and groups. The Black Dragon King is the leader of all the demon kings in the Qiongqi Continent, the only true dragon race, and a man of his word. He meets the requirements to board the spirit boat."

Hei Long said "Oh" and changed his words: "Thank you for your help."

Someone from the Glorious Legion came forward and took Ruan Taoran and Hei Long in.

Cheng Bai was the last one to walk and asked, "Do you want to have a duel of martial arts?"
