Chapter 86: A Decisive Decision
"This is not the realm of heaven and man. It does not mean that only those in the Nascent Soul stage have the opportunity to practice it!"
"I have also heard that this swordsmanship is extremely difficult to practice in the realm of gods and humans, and the requirements for the monks themselves are extremely strict. Xuanyuan Heng is able to achieve this step with the qualification of missing one of the five meridians, and his understanding is indeed not low!"
"It's just a pity that Xuanyuan Heng has been hidden since the previous owner of Xuanwu Tower, Xuanyuan Qi, died. Otherwise, this qualification will definitely win a seat for Xuanwu Tower in the competition!"
"I'm really jealous of talents. The previous building owner Xuanyuan Qi was also an outstanding person. He broke through the golden elixir stage at a young age. In the later stage of cultivation, he was already close to the yellow level life gate. It's a pity that he was suddenly poisoned by a strange poison, medicine stone. No medical treatment!”
"If this were not the case, Xuanyuan Heng's achievements must be even higher now. He should have sneaked out this time. Otherwise, how could Xuanwu Tower have allowed him to embarrass such a big person and even come to the Emperor Immortal Sect to cause trouble!"
"Xuanyuan Heng has caused big trouble this time. No matter whether he wins or loses this time, Xuanwu Tower will not accept his kindness!"
"Who made Xuanyuan Heng value love and justice? I heard that the previous landlord Xuanyuan Qi treated him like his own son. It's just a pity, a pity..."
The comments were mixed together and rubbed into Su Ming's ears.
Based on his feeling about things, if something unexpected happens to the favored man of heaven, there is a high probability that someone is at fault!
Among them, the most likely ones are not from people inside the Xuanwu Building!
Su Ming's eyes sparkled, and he became more and more satisfied as he looked at Xuanyuan Heng.
I love training such stubborn disciples!
Xuanyuan Heng stared at Ji Tianxia opposite and launched an attack.
The long sword fit his body and swung it towards Ji Tianxia. With his instinct to save his life, Ji Tianxia dodged left and right.
At the beginning, he was passive and at a disadvantage.
Zhou Ziruo watched anxiously.
"Senior brother, why did you let Elder Ji take action? If this continues, Elder Ji will lose before long?"
Su Ming smiled and comforted Zhou Ziruo.
"Don't worry, Elder Ji is the one who escaped from the Shen Nong Sect, he will be fine!"
Seeing that his senior brother had spoken in affirmation, Zhou Ziruo could only continue to look down patiently.
Xuanyuan Heng seemed to attach great importance to this competition. He tried his best with every move, and soon a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Perhaps because one of the five meridians is missing, Xuanyuan Heng's physical body is much stronger than others. Even so, without the support of spiritual power, it is easy to suffer losses in the battle.
"What's going on? Xuanyuan Heng is already in the state of unity between heaven and man. He was still in the upper hand just now. How come he looks so weak in just a moment??"
Someone in the crowd understood the strangeness and jumped out immediately to explain.
"No matter how powerful this Xuanyuan Heng is, he still lacks one of his five meridians, and his body's spiritual power cannot be supplied. Not to mention the unity of heaven and man, even if he is at a higher level, there will be times when he is not strong enough!"
Everyone was slowly shocked. Those who had just said they were betting on Xuanyuan Heng quickly turned red and pursed their lips.
There are many mistakes to be made, and the only way is to calm down and watch.
"Wouldn't Elder Ji win immediately?"
Someone stuck his head out at the right time and exclaimed.
"How is it possible? Elder Ji's age is there after all. It's not easy to say. I'm afraid it will be a tough battle next. The key is who can hold on!"
Su Ming looked uninterested, and his posture seemed to say that he already knew the ending.
Although Ji Tianxia moves slowly, he barely escapes a fatal blow every time. It seems to be accidental, but it has to make people vigilant.
Xuanyuan Heng originally thought he was a sure winner in this competition, but looking at his increasingly chaotic pace, he began to doubt himself.
The person in front of me is clearly the third level of the Golden Core Stage and is exactly the same as me, but it feels like there is a big difference.
In the beginning, he did not give in too much, but after a long time, Xuanyuan Heng suddenly realized that Ji Tianxia was just consuming his own spiritual power and fighting a protracted war!
As an alchemist, no one is more familiar with the physical defects of monks who are missing one of their five meridians than Ji Tianxia.
The replenishment speed of spiritual energy was far slower than the consumption speed. Ji Tianxia saw the time correctly, found Xuanyuan Heng's gap, and launched an attack with all his strength.
"Bang..."
The sound of flesh falling to the ground.
Xuanyuan Heng was confused, and when he regained consciousness, he fell to the ground.
The onlookers were also dumbfounded.
"Did you just see how Elder Ji took action?"
"I didn't see it. Isn't Xuanyuan Heng's defense very good? Why was he suddenly defeated?"
"Is this what the legend says, that ginger is still too old to be hot?"
"Xuanyuan Heng was defeated this time. I don't know if Xuanwu Tower can keep him when we go back!"
"That's definitely not possible. Who doesn't know that the current owner of Xuanwu Building wants to find an opportunity to drive him away!"
Xuanyuan Heng, who was immersed in failure, turned pale and pale, looking ugly.
But then his face became decadent and his eyes were empty and lifeless.
Ji Tianxia knew that he had taken advantage of it, and he felt a little embarrassed on his face.
During this period of time, I have been avoiding people from Shennongmen, so I learned some tricks of thieves.
If he uses normal methods, he may not be able to defeat the person in front of him. The key is not using normal methods!
"Little friend Xuanyuan, you don't need to be too anxious. These are all life-saving methods that I have learned recently, and they cannot be put on the stage. As for your ability to unite heaven and man, you are really powerful. I am an alchemy person, and I know some strange things. Don’t worry about it!”
Ji Tianxia felt sorry for Xuanyuan Heng and kept talking about it.
But Xuanyuan Heng didn't seem to hear it and sat on the ground stupidly.
He had no choice but to step forward and help the man up.
"My friend Xuanyuan, my friend Xuanyuan..."
Xuanyuan Heng stood up and turned around, and shook the man off with a flick of his sleeve.
"Win is win, lose is lose, I Xuanyuan Heng is upright, and I still have this responsibility."
Standing in front of everyone, Xuanyuan Heng straightened his back, neither humble nor arrogant, and he was actually a man of character.
"Today, I, Xuanyuan Heng, failed in my challenge to the Emperor Immortal Sect because I was not good at learning. Everything is my personal fault and has nothing to do with other people in Xuanwu Tower!"
Xuanyuan Heng solemnly swore.
"At the last minute, Xuanyuan Heng did not forget to clear himself and Xuanwu Tower. He really cares about their face. I just don't know if Xuanwu Tower will appreciate it!"
"What gratitude? Xuanyuan Heng came here with the intention of winning. If he wins, he will have the opportunity to prove himself in front of the current owner of the tower. If he loses, it is also his fault. The worst result is that his cultivation will be wasted and he will be expelled from Xuanwu Tower!"
"Waste his cultivation? If I remember correctly, Xuanyuan Heng spent several years to achieve this cultivation. Isn't it a pity to waste it like this?"
"What's a pity? Isn't it just starting from scratch? At most, I will come for another 20 years. Sooner or later, it will be like this!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? He is missing one of the five meridians. It is rare to have cultivation now. If he is really wasted now, he will be a useless person! There is no chance to start over!"
