Crossing the Sword

The next day's competition was the first round between Ye Shisan and Ying Chao. Since the two had become very familiar with each other during the outing, they sat together in the audience stands. When the game was about to start, Ye Shisan half-jokingly said, "Brother Ying, although I drank a lot of your Bu Zhou Tian Brew yesterday, it was in vain. I will definitely not let you down today."

Ying Chao looked at him with contempt and said, "I only heard afterwards that you are actually a super expert in playing dice. You deliberately lost to me in order to drink. Maybe what you said after drinking was true. Beautiful women can't be trusted, and men who look loyal can't be trusted even more!" After a pause, he said with relief, "But it doesn't matter. I have plenty of Bu Zhou Tian wine at home. But your barbecue tastes very good. We both get what we need, so we are even."

Ye Shisan nodded and said, "Then let's not let anyone down. Let's give him a good fight!"

As they were talking, the spiritual officer had already announced the start of the match. The two men flew onto the stage at the same time in what they thought was a cool pose. They saluted the Green Emperor on the stage and said, "Your Majesty, I request to change the venue." Ye Shisan was a little puzzled about this. You know, both of them were in the Nascent Soul stage, and they were not in a special situation like Hou Yi. It didn't seem to make any difference where they fought, so why bother doing it so many times?

The Green Emperor had no objection to this and asked casually, "Where do you want to move to?"

"It doesn't matter where." Ying Chao answered casually, "As long as it's a place where there are no people, I have a lot of large-scale attacks in my moves. Facing a master like Zhang Tianya, I naturally dare not hold back, but I don't want to hurt innocent people." After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Ye Shisan.

Ye Shisan nodded and said, "I have no objection."

But what happened next made Ye Shisan a little depressed. The place where the two were teleported to was actually a desert. You know, for water-based practitioners, the harshness of such terrain is second only to volcanoes. Fortunately, Ying Chao is also a water-based practitioner, so this terrain is fair to the two.

"Puff!" Ying Chao flew into the air and began to transform immediately. The color of his muscles gradually darkened and became more solid. Even this change included the muscles on his face, making his appearance look a bit scary. In a moment, his muscles, which were no different from those of ordinary people, turned into a dark blue color similar to that of reptiles. A pair of flesh wings grew behind him, and every time they flapped, the strong wind generated could stir up a cloud of sand.

Ye Shisan looked at it with interest and asked, "Not bad, this shape is quite unique, what's its name?" He was not idle while speaking, the sword energy in his body was released, releasing a state where man and sword were one. Compared with Ying Chao's real body, he did not lose any momentum.

Ying Chao nodded excitedly and casually summoned his personal weapon, the Purple Dragon Halberd, in his hand. He chuckled and said, "My real body looks good, right? The Purple Dragon Halberd is a mid-grade immortal weapon. Brother Ye, be careful, I'm about to let go. Giant Spring and Whale Waves!" The speaker took a deep breath and his chest swelled up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The degree of expansion even far exceeded the limit of the human body's physiological tolerance.

Just when Ye Shisan was wondering if he was going to self-destruct, Ying Chao shouted "Wow!" and spurted out a huge wave of water, no less wide than a medium-sized river, rushing straight towards Zhang Tianya. In this desert, being able to create such a water attack showed that Ying Chao's magic was indeed extraordinary.

Unfortunately, his magic attack chose the wrong target. Thousands of years ago, Zhu Rong once said: "There is no fire in the world that dares to burn me, the Fire God Zhu Rong!" Although this statement is a bit arrogant, it is basically true. Similarly, there is no water in the world that dares to rush to the Water God Gong Gong! Ye Shisan inherited the skills of the Water God Gong Gong, and also has a second priority for this deterrent. Unless the Water God Gong Gong casts a water spell, no water dares to rush to Ye Shisan!

Facing the mighty waves, Ye Shisan had no intention of avoiding them. He just snorted with disdain, his expression intimidating without anger. The huge waves seemed to be afraid. When they were three feet away from Ye Shisan, they immediately split into several waves, bypassed Ye Shisan, and rushed behind him. Not a drop of water dared to approach the three-foot thunder pool beside him!

At this moment, Ye Shisan suddenly felt the murderous aura coming from the front, Ying Chao's fierce murderous aura. Not daring to delay, Ye Shisan immediately picked up Luo Tian's sword and rushed forward.

Feeling Ye Shisan's sword energy, the surrounding water waves also rose and fell, just like the waves blown by the wind. In fact, it was not the wind that drove the waves, but the ups and downs of gravity. That's right, it was gravity! And what could produce such strange gravity fluctuations was the Tianya Sword Intention, the Nine-Character Sword Art - the Nine Layers of the Blue Sky!

At this time, a purple light shot out from the water and penetrated into Ye Shisan's sword net at lightning speed. In the duel between the two of them, magic could only be used as a means of auxiliary attack, and the real way to determine victory or defeat was to rely on force and close combat.

As they were surrounded by water waves on all sides, the audience could only see the blue sword energy and the purple-gold halberd shadows interweaving between the waves through the "live broadcast", but they could not see the moves between the two people clearly.

After more than thirty attacks, Ying Chao shook his wings violently, and flew up a foot. He shook the purple dragon halberd in his hand, and actually wrote the three characters "Flying Dragon Falling" with his Qi, gathering but not dispersing. Then, the purple dragon halberd swung horizontally again, and the three characters formed by Qi split into two waves, smashing down at Ye Shisan from above. The "dragon" in the middle was torn in half.

Ying Chao's attack was not very strong, but the words created by the Qi, especially the dragon word that was split in two, would make it very difficult for the opponent to defend. But Ying Chao was surprised that this move, which was originally intended to be used as an intermediate move, made Ye Shisan flustered and fell a little disadvantaged.

Of course, this cannot be said to be Ye Shisan's incompetence. It was entirely because when he saw Ying Chao's move, his mind wandered and he thought of other things. When he realized it again, it was already very troublesome to deal with it. However, he immediately put aside his distracting thoughts and concentrated on dealing with Ying Chao's flying dragon.

When masters fight, once they are at a disadvantage, it is extremely difficult to turn the disadvantage back. Especially since Ying Chao knew how powerful Ye Shisan was, he would definitely not give him this opportunity. Just as Ye Shisan barely managed to dissolve the Flying Dragon Fall, Ying Chao's Purple Dragon Halberd also arrived, and the halberd followed a clever route and pierced Zhang Tianya's heart.
