Volume 5: The Gathering of Storms Chapter 320: Who will challenge?
Swish…
Seeing that Han Feier was ready, Xu Zun immediately picked up one of the wine jars and threw it down.
The corridor outside the palace was nearly ten feet away from the water surface. When the wine jar was about to fall, Han Feier swung the iron fan, and the arrow in the fan shot out, smashing the wine jar!
The wine jars contained not wine but oil.
After the wine jar broke, the oil inside immediately spilled onto the water surface, and the floating oil spread out, forming an oil film on the calm water surface.
Three men carried four oil cans and dropped them one by one onto the water surface, quickly flooding a large area of water.
After throwing everything away, the three of them leaned against the railing to check carefully, but they could not see any changes at all.
"Let's go!" Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "This is far from enough, keep going!"
After saying this, he walked back into the hall and continued to move the oil tanks.
Huo Anu and Han Feier looked at the water below. Although it was deep in the bay and there were no waves, the area was not small.
They were really worried that a few small oil tanks would not be of any use.
However, seeing that Xu Zun was full of confidence, the two of them had no choice but to follow him back.
"Sir... Sir..." This time, when they passed by Ani, Ani couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
"Don't be anxious," Xu Zun gave Ani the four-word mantra, "delay time!"
"Delay time..." Annie frowned, not understanding what problem Xu Zun could solve with those wine jars?
After another stick of incense had passed, Xu Zun and the other two sped up and moved several more oil tanks in succession, smashing them all on the water surface outside, allowing the floating oil to continue to spread.
When they were moving the oil for the fourth time, there were only a few oil tanks left in the warehouse, so Xu Zun asked everyone to evacuate.
Ku Niang was originally watching the Crazy Knife Witch in the warehouse , and this time she followed Xu Zun and the other two out.
Huo Anu held the wine jar in one hand and supported the injured crazy knife witch with the other.
When they returned to the palace hall, they did not expect that the winner had already been decided in the arena. The final winner was actually the drunken Taoist priest!
Although this person was victorious, he was also covered in wounds and had really consumed a lot of his energy.
And right after he won, all the warriors' eyes were focused on Annie.
Seeing such a breathtaking girl belong to someone else, everyone's faces showed envy and jealousy.
However, almost all the warriors present had been on the ring today, and according to their rules, no one would challenge the Taoist priest again.
"Hahaha... the romance is endless, Liangfeng is lucky," the old Taoist looked at Ani with a smile, "Thank you for accompanying me tonight!"
After saying that, he leaped off the stage.
"Wait a minute!" Ani followed Xu Zun's principles and said loudly, "I don't believe that no one can beat you. Masters, is there really no one who dares to challenge him?
"Are you all such incompetent wimps?"
"What did you say? You..." The warriors were really furious. Someone shouted, "You little girl, you are so arrogant and have no manners!"
"That's right," someone echoed, "You have to admit defeat if you're willing to fight. That's the rule. If you lose, you lose. You can't deny it, right?"
"You are all fools," Ani pointed at the old Taoist priest and said, " I just saw him use a hidden weapon. Hidden weapons are nothing compared to a person's ability. It's not fair to win at all!"
"Girl, you are wrong," the man with the knife said at this time, "Don't say that he didn't use a hidden weapon just now. Even if he did, he would still win!"
"Yes," someone agreed, "This is also the rule of the competition. There is no limit on weapons or methods. As long as you can win, you win!"
"I..." The old Taoist spread his hands, looking innocent, "I don't have any hidden weapons at all?"
"Okay, that's what you said. Now let me ask you," Ani pointed at the old man, "Can I challenge you too?"
"You?" The Taoist said without hesitation, "Of course!"
"I am a girl," Ani said again, "Do you still have the nerve to use weapons against me?"
"Well... okay!" The old Taoist immediately threw away the sword in his hand, "If you don't need it, then don't use it. Come on up! If you beat me, you can go and attack others!"
"Okay!" Ani waved the Qingling sword and jumped onto the stage.
Originally, Ani wanted to say a few more random words to delay time.
But for some reason, as waves of resentment rose, she felt her thinking ability declined drastically.
Especially as she used her strength, she seemed to have lost her judgment all of a sudden. She no longer cared about anything and started fighting with the old Taoist directly.
At the same time, Xu Zun and the other two didn't care about Ani and threw the last few oil tanks into the water as quickly as possible.
As the oil slick floated, the entire bay was covered with a layer of oil...
"Sir," Huo Anu expressed his concern again, "so much oil has been put in, can this really suppress the poison gas?"
Xu Zun nodded, turned to look at the Crazy Knife Goddess, and said, "As long as she is right that the poison gas is emitted by aquatic plants, then it should work!"
Xu Zun did not say the following words. Oil floating on the water surface can isolate the gas emission from the water surface, thereby weakening the poisonous gas.
When he came in before, he had carefully observed the terrain here. The entire bay is very deep and long, and the waterway is winding.
In this way, the wind and waves outside cannot blow into the bay, so there is no pervasive fog.
Xu Zun felt that the Crazy Knife Witch might be wrong. Mist should be just mist, formed by the convection of cold and hot air, and not poisonous gas.
Even if Zhao Yu and others on the ship would be affected by the poisonous gas, it should be a relatively slow process.
Therefore, Xu Zun believed that the poisonous gas emitted by almonds should be colorless and odorless, and only by isolating the water surface could the poisonous gas be prevented from being emitted.
But he didn't know how long it would take for it to work?
At this moment, changes had already taken place on the ring. Even though the old Taoist didn't use any weapons and his strength had been damaged by fighting several rounds in a row, Ani was still no match for him.
After just a few rounds, Ani was knocked off the ring by the Taoist priest.
And Ani's condition also changed obviously. She actually picked up the sword and wanted to commit suicide!!!
The warriors nearby were terrified and attacked one after another, knocking away Annie 's Qingling sword.
"What a strong-willed woman," the old Taoist said as he looked at Ani and smiled, "I really like her! So, is there anyone else who wants to challenge me? If not, then I will..."
As a result, before the old Taoist could finish his words, he saw a black shadow rushing onto the stage, followed by a terrifying palm, accompanied by a terrifying gust of wind, heading straight for his throat!
"ah……"
The old Taoist was frightened and subconsciously raised his palm to block, while holding his breath and tilting his neck!
As a result, half of his cheek seemed to be scratched by a steel claw, and it was instantly bloody!!!
"ah……"
The Taoist priest screamed, and after covering the wound, he found that half of his cheek and half of his ear had been completely torn off!!!
He looked in front of him in horror, but suddenly saw a woman in black standing in front of him, a woman in black wearing a veil...
