Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 185: Bai Daoyou
"What? You, the mighty Soul-Devouring Sect, don't even dare to accept a duel?" Qiong Xin spoke again, with a rather aggressive tone.
Seeing the other party so arrogant, before Master Bai could say anything, Lu Linger was already unhappy. She put her hands on her waist and said angrily: "Ugly freak, why are you yelling? If you want to compete, then compete. I'm not afraid of you!"
Upon hearing this, Qiong Xin's face immediately became extremely cold. She stared at Lu Linger coldly, with murderous intent in her eyes.
Gu Xiaoxing frowned even deeper and gradually narrowed his brows.
Master Bai glared at Lu Linger, and the little girl snorted and turned her head away.
Of course Master Bai didn't want to accept the question, but facing such a question, he had to accept it and said, "I am naturally happy to be able to exchange and compete with the genius of Yunxiao Sect. Candlelight, step out !"
As Master Bai finished speaking, a young girl in red walked out from behind. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, sweet and lovely, and her cultivation had reached perfection in the Qi Condensation stage. This girl, named Zhuhuo, was the most outstanding genius in the Soul Devouring Sect in recent years. She possessed a special physique, not a soul-devouring body, but a fire spirit body.
The Fire Spirit Body is an extremely rare physique, and is naturally endowed with a high affinity for fire-attributed spiritual energy. Not only is the cultivation speed extremely fast, but the combat power is also very good.
"Xiaohuo, go and beat them up for me!" Lu Linger cheered for Zhuhuo.
Lu Ling'er obviously looked like a ten-year-old girl, much younger than a young girl, but Zhu Huo was called Xiao Huo, but she did not feel dissatisfied at all. Instead, she said respectfully: "I will follow the elder's order!"
Master Bai glared at Lu Linger again, then looked at the candlelight and said, "Be careful!"
Both sides quickly came on the field. The one who came out from the Yunxiao Sect was an ordinary-looking woman. She looked unremarkable, but facing her, Zhuhuo felt a kind of pressure.
Until the fight began, the two women entangled with each other, Candlelight was covered in flames, and every blow contained a scorching breath, but the opponent was more difficult to deal with. There was fog and clouds constantly changing around her body, and she could often easily resist those fire attacks.
Looking at the constantly changing clouds, Gu Xiaoxing thought of something and glanced sideways at Qiao Yanran who was standing beside him.
Qiao Yanran nodded and said, "It is indeed the secret treasure Xinxiao. I returned it to Yunxiao Sect at the beginning. I didn't expect them to refine it and give it to a junior to use in the competition."
Gu Xiaoxing didn't say anything. The moment he saw the Xinxiao secret treasure, he knew that the Soul-Devouring Sect might not win this battle. Although the girl Zhuhuo was very good, Gu Xiaoxing had seen the power of the Xinxiao secret treasure. It was basically difficult for anyone to be able to compete with it at the Qi Condensation stage.
Sure enough, after fighting for a while, Zhuhuo gradually fell into a disadvantage. It was really because the Xinxiao secret treasure was too rogue. It changed in various ways and easily resisted her offensive, which made Zhuhuo feel very aggrieved.
But Zhuhuo was also a stubborn person. With a delicate cry, fire snakes surrounded her, and she made some hand gestures and attacked the opponent straight away. This was her all-strength attack. If she couldn't defeat the opponent, she would most likely be the loser.
The fire snake came towards her, but the female disciple of Yunxiao Sect did not dodge or evade. The clouds surrounding her immediately turned into a wall of clouds. The fire snake hit the clouds, causing layers of fire waves to scatter, but behind the wall of clouds, the woman was not harmed at all.
This scene left many people present speechless. The secret treasure that could transform into clouds and mist was obviously a superior secret treasure that could be used at the foundation-building stage or even the Jindan stage. Yet now it was being used to conduct a Qi Condensation competition. Wasn't this obviously bullying?
"Damn it! So shameless!" Lu Linger could no longer sit still. She stood up and gritted her teeth towards the direction of Yunxiao Sect!
On the field, although Zhuhuo felt aggrieved, it was a fact that she was defeated. Now she had consumed too much energy and had little fighting power left. However, she was unwilling to admit defeat directly. Just as she was hesitating, suddenly, an extremely strong sense of crisis emerged in her heart.
In front of her, the wall of clouds disappeared and a three-meter-long spear appeared, piercing through at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, Zhuhuo felt the breath of death, and without any hesitation, he said, "I admit..."
But at the moment Zhuhuo opened his mouth, the eyes of the Yunxiao Sect's disciple condensed, and the flying spear suddenly accelerated again, and in an instant it was in front of Zhuhuo, intending to kill him!
Master Bai attacked without hesitation, and Lu Linger also flew over to try to stop him.
But the people of Yunxiao Sect seemed to have anticipated this. Qiong Xin arrived in an instant and stood in front of Master Bai. At the same time, another elder in the late Jindan stage flew out and stood in front of Lu Linger, which made their idea of saving Zhuhuo impossible!
At this moment, Zhuhuo was already pale with fear. The Cloud Spear was already right in front of her eyes. The breath of death was already extremely strong. Just when Zhuhuo thought she was really going to die, the Cloud Spear stopped less than three inches in front of her nose and could not move forward any further.
"Who is it!" Qiong Xin was furious. She immediately looked around, wanting to find out the guy who dared to meddle in the affairs of her Yunxiao Sect. However, she found a masked man. Her expression immediately became uncertain.
The one who made the move was naturally Gu Xiaoxing. At the moment when the cloud spear was about to pierce through the candle flame, he simply raised his hand and pointed his fingers at the cloud spear from a distance. With Gu Xiaoxing's current level, even a simple finger control still possessed great power to completely immobilize the cloud spear.
Lu Linger was delighted, and the red light in her eyes disappeared.
Master Bai also breathed a sigh of relief. He snorted coldly, walked past Qiong Xin and came to the candlelight. He arched his hands in the direction of the masked man and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. I am Master Bai Lang from the Devouring Spirit Sect!"
Gu Xiaoxing blinked, coughed dryly, and returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Bai. Hello, Fellow Daoist Bai. I am... Lin Xiaochi!"
Calling him "Fellow Daoist Bai" made Gu Xiaoxing secretly happy!
However, Master Bai frowned slightly, thinking that the other party's voice sounded familiar. He wanted to say a few more words, but when he heard the other party's voice, the flattering words in Master Bai's heart could not be said at all. Especially when he heard the other party call him Fellow Daoist Bai, he always felt inexplicably awkward.
At this time, Zhu Huo also reacted and looked at Gu Xiaoxing with great gratitude. This was her lifesaver. She said respectfully: "Thank you very much, senior. Senior, your kindness is great. Zhu Huo will remember it in her heart and will never forget it!"
“Hmm…!” Gu Xiaoxing subconsciously put his hands behind his back, thinking that since he was a junior from the same sect, he should teach him a lesson, so he continued: “If you encounter such a situation again in the future, don’t hesitate and admit defeat directly. Life is the most important thing. Do you understand?!”
"Yes! Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Zhuhuo's eyes were red. It was obvious that he had been frightened before, and now he was touched by the care of his benefactor.
"Well, and... ahem! Listen carefully to Brother Bai Daoist's words and be good!"
