Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

"Junior Sister Shen! I can finally fight with you!!" The young man opposite looked at Shen Qiao eagerly.

Fang Yibai, if I remember correctly, this person seemed to have become Gan Su's disciple five years later? So, if you really count it, then...

Thinking of this, Shen Qiao smiled and bowed, saying, "Brother Fang...you are too kind."

Please cherish this word "senior brother", my nephew.

"Group Two, Shen Qiao, Fang Yibai!"

"Then Junior Sister..."

"Go ahead." Shang Mian waved his hand, feeling helpless.

It was already afternoon, the sun was setting slightly, but there were still just as many people in the stands.

Fang Yibai, who got on the ring and started to act seriously, was obviously different from the impulsive young man just now.

Fang Yibai stood on a wooden stake with his hands behind his back, his messy hair blown back by the wind, revealing his facial features that were usually hidden.

He smiled with a curved brow and said, "I've known for a long time that Junior Sister is an excellent swordsman. Therefore, this round..."

"How about we compare the formations?"

As she finished speaking, Shen Qiao heard the distinct sound of cracking wood all around her. Within five steps of her, the wooden stakes at specific locations instantly grew over ten meters taller, layer upon layer. Being trapped within them was truly oppressive.

"Junior sister, please."

The line of sight is restricted, and the specific location cannot be determined from the sound alone.

Looking at the wooden stakes that had formed a maze in front of him, Shen Qiao pondered for a moment.

This formation looks familiar, it should be a type of Feng Shui formation.

The eight directions in front correspond to the eight gates of injury, shock, scenery, rest, stop, death, life, and opening.

Among them, Kaimen, Shengmen and Xiumen are auspicious gates, Du and Jingmen are calmer, and Shangsi and Jingmen are inauspicious gates.

Fang Yibai is most likely to be in one of the three auspicious gates. If you want to find him, you must first determine his location.

Shen Qiao's gaze fell on the shadows of the wooden stakes. Considering the location of the arena and the current time, the direction these shadows pointed to should be southeast, and the life gate was in the northeast...

"This clue is too obvious." Zhan Meng in the stands yawned in boredom.

"If there are no other interferences or variables, this kind of escape technique is almost like giving it away for free."

Ze Lan smelled the alcohol on him and glanced at him with a hint of disdain, "What if it's a superimposed formation?"

Zhan Meng shook his drunken head and asked, "What?"

On the other side, Shen Qiao had already walked into the next exit. As he walked into the new direction from the original exit, the wooden stakes behind him continued to rise high, and it was obvious that there was no way to retreat.

Shen Qiao looked at the new direction and thought for a moment, but this time he did not continue to go in the northeast direction as originally thought, but went straight to the southwest which was completely opposite.

Death's door.

"Oh?" Zhan Meng saw Shen Qiao's choice and realized something, so he began to squint his eyes and look carefully.

"Ha! I was wondering why such a big flaw was exposed." He lay back down happily.

"Illusion array?"

Li Yue, who had returned to the stands, frowned unconsciously, "Doesn't that mean no one except the caster knows the exact location?"

Wu Jin, who had reappeared to join in the fun, sat aside, holding his floating pattern stick. "Is that why you want to give it a try?"

After stepping into the "death gate", Shen Qiao stood firmly on the wooden stake and looked around. Just like before, nothing happened.

Both times were safe and sound. Although Fang Yibai was not encountered, it at least shows that the two times he entered should have been through the three auspicious gates or the Dumen and Jingmen.

According to the current shape arrangement of the formation, the relative direction combination is two of the five gates, either the Xiumen and Jingmen in the south and north, or the Dumen and Kaimen in the southeast and northwest.

Fang Yibai was very meticulous and had obviously interfered with all natural factors that might have provided her with a basis for judgment.

But actually, by the time we get here, it’s almost time to take some risks.

The people outside only saw Shen Qiao suddenly speed up the opening of the door. The third time, they heard a "bang" sound from the formation, and those towering wooden stakes disappeared in an instant, and Fang Yibai had fallen down.

Fang Yibai, who had fallen hard, rubbed his shoulder as he stood up and said with a smile: "I thought I could stay a little longer."

Shen Qiao then jumped down from the wooden stake and bowed, saying, "Brother, I'm grateful for your kindness."

"Second group, Shen Qiao advances!"

"We've already confirmed that the two previous walks were safe. So, as long as we go in the opposite direction, at worst we won't step into the dead end."

"He's a man with some brains." Zhan Meng chuckled.

Because of Fang Yibai's formation, some of the wooden stakes were damaged and it would take some time to replace them with new ones. Shang Mian waited in the audience with Luo Dai for the time being.

"I'm somewhat impressed by you." Luo Dai spoke first. "A medical practitioner can even compete in a competition. There are quite a few people who overestimate their abilities these days."

The surroundings were in chaos, and Gong Yihua was directing several earth-eating beasts to bury new wooden stakes in the ground.

"Are you saying such harsh words now because you're afraid you'll lose so badly in the ring later that you won't be able to say anything?"

Luo Dai glanced at him coldly from the corner of her eye, "Are you looking for death?"

"Relying on the support of others behind you, do you really think you are the only one in the world?" Shang Mian smiled, "You want this person to die and that person to die every day. So you are so big that the whole human world can't support you?"

Click——

There was a distinct sound of a fist clenching.

Luo Dai glared at Shang Mian with anger, "Very good, don't blame me for not reminding you later."

Shang Mian smiled and didn't respond.

"You two can begin."

Luo Dai jumped onto the stage first. This time, without waiting for Shang Mian to stand firm, she drew her sword and rushed forward.

This is in line with her outspoken personality, and Shang Mian was prepared for this. However, Luo Dai was too fast, and even if Shang Mian was just using the wooden stake for leverage, the sword energy still cut off some of his clothes.

However, this was not enough. Before Shang Mian could find his next place to stay, Luo Dai had already approached again. In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Shang Mian and raised her sword to stab him. She was still using the sword at such a close distance, which clearly showed that she did not intend to let the person get off the stage intact.

"You have no moral principles!!"

There was a sound of indignation from somewhere in the audience. Shen Qiao glanced over because he felt familiar with the person and saw that it was Ji Qiuming who had been so happy after losing before.

Luo Dai's sword came extremely fast, and Shang Mian had no time to dodge. In an instant, the sword light penetrated into the flesh of his shoulder, and blood suddenly appeared. Some blood beads even splashed onto Luo Dai's face.

"Shang Mian!"

Seeing that someone was really hurt, Luo Dai showed some playfulness and relaxation on her face, but soon, her expression froze at that moment.

Green branches had wrapped around her ankles at some point. She had already used all her strength in the sword thrust. She wanted to find a fulcrum to retract the sword first, but Shang Mian's hand grabbed her wrist tightly, making it difficult for her to retract the sword. The two of them lost their momentum and fell straight down.

This is more than ten meters high! !

Luo Dai was completely panicked for a moment, "Are you crazy?! You will die too!!"
