Chapter 440: The Thirteenth
Feng Sansheng couldn't help but froze when he saw Duan Qing rushing out of Li Huo and charging towards him.
Duan Qing created such a huge formation to hide from others. He also wondered what powerful tricks Duan Qing was going to use. Was it just to get rid of his heavy mysterious needle?
No! He always felt that it was not that simple!
This thought flashed through his mind, and Feng Sansheng immediately reacted and drove twelve heavy mystical needles to stop Duan Qing.
No matter what his purpose was, he would never let Duan Qing get close to him.
Once he gets close, he will face Duan Qing's attack directly, and his use of the Heavy Mystic Needle will also be greatly limited.
Seeing the Chongxuan Needle attack again, Duan Qing frowned slightly and kept waving the Red Spirit Sword in his hand to block the Chongxuan Needle.
Relying on the cover of Lihuo, he still couldn't get close to Feng Sansheng, and Duan Qing seemed to be in the same situation as before.
In this way, after about half a cup of tea, Duan Qing showed a trace of undetectable fatigue on his face, his sword moves gradually slowed down, and he seemed to be overwhelmed by the constant attack of the Chongxuan Needle.
Of the original twelve heavy profound needles, only two or three were able to break through the defense of the Red Spirit Sword and hit his Suzaku Armor.
After the sword moves slowed down, there were about five Chongxuan Needles in each attack round, which could break through the defense of the Red Spirit Sword and hit the Suzaku Armor.
This time, Duan Qing's pressure increased sharply, and the Suzaku Armor continued to ripple, as if it was about to collapse.
When Zuo Wanqiu and Lin Ziyu below saw this, their hearts trembled.
"Brother Duan, come on!" Lin Ziyu murmured.
Zuo Wanqiu did not speak, but stared at the situation inside the Nine Spirit Base, not daring to take a breath.
The crowd watching saw Duan Qing being suppressed by Feng Sansheng and was unable to fight back, and they started talking one after another.
"Then Feng Sansheng is indeed a disciple of Senior Tie Shiniu. His ability to multi-task is really powerful."
"That's right, I think Duan made it to the ninth round just because he had better luck. How can he compare with Feng Sansheng."
"You can't say that. He is capable of defeating Yunmeng Sect's senior sister Duan Mumin in the first round."
…
Those who criticize Duan Qing are all those who have not yet recognized Duan Qing's Zhuque transformation technique.
The few people who knew Duan Qing's Suzaku transformation technique, such as Tie Shiniu, did not say a word and watched the battle in silence.
Tie Shiniu stared at the showdown in the Nine Spirit Base with wide eyes without blinking.
Somehow, although his disciple Feng Sansheng was in the upper hand, he felt a vague sense of ominousness.
As a member of the Shinto Sect, this kid shouldn't have only this ability!
Could it be that he is hiding his clumsiness?
At this time, the duel between Duan Qing and Feng Sansheng in the Nine Spirit Base has entered a fierce stage.
Duan Qing was hit by more than five heavy mystical needles for a long time, his face became even more tired, and his sword moves became slower again.
When Feng Sansheng saw this, he was secretly happy. He immediately pursued the victory and used twelve points of his spiritual power to drive the Chongxuan Needle.
Bang bang bang...!
A total of eleven heavy mysterious needles hit Duan Qing's Suzaku Armor almost at the same time, making a muffled sound.
This attack caused the ripples on the Suzaku Armor to be stronger than ever before, as if it was just a hair away from collapsing.
It's now!
A sneer appeared at the corner of Feng Sansheng's mouth. With a thought in his mind, a transparent and almost invisible needle suddenly appeared behind Duan Qing and struck Duan Qing's left shoulder like lightning.
He had held Duan Qing down for so long with twelve heavy mystical needles just waiting for this moment.
In fact, his set of Chongxuan Needles does not only have twelve, but thirteen.
The thirteenth needle, which he named Dawn alone, was made of special materials and could conceal the needle-shaped aura, making it not only impossible to sense, but also almost impossible to observe with the naked eye.
Especially when stationary, the Daybreak Needle is nearly impossible to spot.
The reason why he used the Chongxuan Needle to entangle Duan Qing was, on the one hand, to test Duan Qing's Suzaku Armor's defense with the Chongxuan Needle, and on the other hand, to consume Duan Qing's physical and spiritual power, waiting for an opportunity to use the Dawn Needle. .
You must know that there are rules in the Lun Meng Conference. During the duel, it is forbidden to replenish spiritual power in any way, otherwise you will be directly sentenced to lose.
He activated thirteen heavy mystical needles at the same time. Although the spiritual energy consumption was quite large, Duan Qing's consumption was also not small.
Under the attack of his Chongxuan Needle, he could only use the Suzaku Armor to defend passively, and he had to deal with the Chongxuan Needle's attack, which consumed a lot of physical energy.
Under double consumption, he believed that Duan Qing would always show flaws.
And since he only used the sword control technique to drive the Chongxuan Needle, and didn't even use the body protection technique and defensive spirit treasures, no matter how much spiritual power he consumed, he would probably be on the same level as Duan Qing, or slightly more.
Even though the spiritual power consumption of the two is about the same, don't forget that his cultivation level is two levels higher than Duan Qing's, and he definitely surpasses Duan Qing in terms of spiritual power.
Therefore, if this consumption continues, Duan Qing will be the first to be unable to hold on.
Use the Chongxuan Needle to fight a war of attrition, and at the same time look for opportunities to use the Dawn Needle to kill with one hit. This is the safest and most likely way to defeat Duan Qing that he can think of.
After previous testing, he had roughly figured out the limits of Duan Qing's Suzaku Armor's defensive power.
First, eleven heavy mystic needles hit his Vermilion Bird Armor, and then he used the Daybreak Needle to kill him with one strike. He could definitely break his defense and win with one strike.
At this time, Qingzheng waved the Red Spirit Sword without any rules, forcing away the heavy mystic needles all over his body, as if he didn't notice at all that the transparent Dawn Needle was coming from behind.
When Feng Sansheng saw this, he felt even more proud. He seemed to have seen the scene where Duan Qing was hit by the Dawn Needle and fell to the ground seriously injured.
The members of the Shinto sect are just like that!
Just before Dawn was about to hit Duan Qing's left shoulder, Duan Qing swung his sword seemingly without any rules, and circled his head with the Red Spirit Sword, trying to repel a heavy needle behind him, but intentionally or unintentionally, the Red Spirit Sword stuck to his left shoulder and stopped for a moment.
Ding!
A long and thin sound rang out, and the Dawn Needle accurately hit the Red Spirit Sword.
What!
Feng Sansheng was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little bit unbelievable.
Duan Qing actually blocked his Dawn Needle!
Was he lucky, or had he already noticed the existence of the Dawn Needle?
Before Feng Sansheng could recover from his shock.
Duan Qing's actions had already revealed the answer.
Duan Qing, with the help of the huge force of the Dawn Needle, suddenly accelerated and shot straight to Feng Sansheng in front of him.
At the same time, a pair of fiery red wings with lightning suddenly appeared behind Duan Qing, causing Duan Qing's speed to increase several times.
With the blessing of the Vermillion Bird Wing, Duan Qing's entire body seemed to turn into a red light, holding a sword and attacking Feng Sansheng.
In the blink of an eye, he had already crossed a distance of thirty or forty feet and flew in front of Feng Sansheng.
Duan Qing did not hesitate and slashed at Feng Sansheng with his backhand.
By the time Feng Sansheng reacted, the Red Spirit Sword had already approached him by several feet.
At such a close distance, Feng Sansheng had no time to dodge at all, and could only quickly activate the defensive magic treasure on his body.
But Duan Qing's action was too fast, so fast that Feng Sansheng was too late to activate the defensive magic treasure.
