Chapter 29: Miraculous Techniques
It was late at night again.
Zhang Xiaofan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, even the monkey little gray beside him also opened his eyes wide, blinking and blinking to look at him, as for the other senior brothers all have long been snoring loudly, that is, the big yellow, at this moment, also lying on the ground to sleep.
The moonlight was like water, shining in from the window, sprinkling on the ground, like frost and snow.
Zhang Xiaofan quietly climbed up, little gray immediately scurried into his arms, Zhang Xiaofan hugged it, stroked its head, and walked out.
The corridor was clear and quiet.
He secretly smiled bitterly, from the time he arrived at the Tongtian Peak, he almost never slept peacefully at night, thinking of tomorrow's competition with Lu Xueqi, he still had indescribable nervousness in his heart.
Right at this moment, the monkey Little Grey in his arms suddenly moved uneasily, Zhang Xiaofan looked towards it, only to see that under the moonlight, Little Grey's pair of witty eyes were looking at the shadows in front of him.
In the darkness, it seemed as if a figure flashed by.
Zhang Xiaofan's heart stirred and followed.
The figure did not run fast, and while running, his shoulders seemed to be constantly shrugging, as if he was crying. Zhang Xiaofan looked from afar and recognized Tian Ling'er, his heart was even more strange, at the same time, looking at his senior sister's weeping appearance, his heart had a trace of inexplicable sadness.
Tian Ling'er ran straight to the sea of clouds, came to the center of the ring side, looked around no one, as if she could no longer hold back, squatted on the ground and cried out.
Zhang Xiaofan has never seen his sister so sad, a trance in his mind, slowly walked to her side, and called out in a low voice: "Sister, you..."
Tian Ling'er was startled, jumped up and turned around, saw that it was Zhang Xiaofan, only then put down his heart, and then his heart was sour again, could not help but fling himself into Zhang Xiaofan's arms, crying loudly on his shoulder.
Zhang Xiaofan's body was stiff in an instant, his whole body was petrified, and he could no longer move a single movement.
Her sobbing echoed in his ears, and from his shoulder, he felt the faint warmth of her body, as if the scene he had often seen in his dreams had actually happened today. A seemingly faint fragrance came faintly.
Zhang Xiaofan just stood there, looking into the distance, despite the countless thoughts in his heart wanting to embrace this woman, he finally did not.
Perhaps, after really embracing you, life will never be the same again?
Tian Ling'er left his shoulder at this time. Zhang Xiaofan's heart was empty, and vaguely, he felt that he had lost something.
His shoulder was already wet with tears.
Tian Ling'er rubbed her red eyes with her hands and saw Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder that was wet from his own crying, her face flushed and she said, "I'm sorry, Xiaofan."
Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said, "Senior sister, what's wrong with you."
Tian Ling'er was about to speak, but she heard something under her feet "squeak" twice, and when she looked down, it was Little Grey who had also followed her. She silently bent down and took Little Ash in her arms.
"Never before, Little Fan, never before." This woman stood in the darkness of the moonlight, poignantly beautiful, and with a few moments of grief, she said to Zhang Xiaofan, "Father and Mother have never scolded me like this before."
Looking at that beautiful face in grief, Zhang Xiaofan felt a tearing pain in his heart, as if that sorrow of hers was all brought to her by himself. He forced himself to stabilize his mind and softly said, "Senior sister, what's wrong? Why did Master and Mother scold you?"
Tian Ling'er hesitated for a moment and looked up at Zhang Xiaofan, since she was a little girl, this little senior brother had always been her closest playmate besides her parents, at this moment in her heart, a thought seemed to vaguely come to her mind: since when has junior brother Xiaofan always been this gentle to me?
However, this thought just flashed by, her heart was full of sadness at the moment, finally she still said to Zhang Xiaofan with a sobbing voice: "It's not all because of Big Brother Qi Hao!"
Zhang Xiaofan's face brushed white, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, he gripped them so tightly that his nails pierced deep into his palms.
"You don't know yet, do you?" Once Tian Ling'er opened up her words, she was no longer defensive towards this Junior Brother, but Zhang Xiaofan furiously cried out in his heart, "I know, I know, I've known for a long time!"
The moonlight was cold and spilled over the earth.
"Senior Brother Qi Hao and I are in love, I told them that I really, really like him." Tian Ling'er calmed down a bit, but did not notice that with every word she said, Zhang Xiaofan's face lost a point of blood color.
"⋯... But Father scolded me loudly, saying that I don't know what I'm doing, and even Mother, who has always loved me, changed her face and took Father's side. How could this happen, Xiaofan?"
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, not letting Tian Ling'er see his face, and whispered, "How did Master and Mother know?"
Tian Ling'er was in a turbulent mood, she didn't notice that Zhang Xiaofan's words were somewhat broken and strange, the corners of her mouth flattened and she almost cried out again, "I wouldn't have thought of it, but I realized later that it was the Little Bamboo Peak Wen Min Senior Sisters who lived with me who told Master Shui Yue, who then talked to my mother. I'm so close to Wenmin, I've told them many times, but they still told me, I, I..."
Her eyes were sore, and tears finally flowed out.
Zhang Xiaofan said in a shy voice, "Maybe Master and Mother are doing this for your own good, they are your parents and would never treat you badly!"
Tian Ling'er wiped the teardrops from the corners of her eyes and exclaimed, "What do they know! They only understand sectarian views, they only know that Big Brother Qi Hao is the proud disciple of Longshou Peak's Senior Uncle Cang Song, they only know that if I get good with Big Brother Qi Hao they will not be able to hold their heads up in the Qing Yun Sect, they haven't thought about me at all."
With a few moments of sadness, a few moments of anger, and even a few moments of determination, she said, "What is all that face compared to my happiness, I really doubt if they value face or me as their daughter?"
Zhang Xiaofan raised his head in a hugh manner and looked at this senior sister who had suddenly become a stranger.
What a sad look that was!
Wandering and helpless, like a bird that had lost its parents standing alone in the midst of the wind and rain, there was a hint of trepidation in the sadness that stabbed into his soul like a knife!
Zhang Xiaofan was almost immediately defeated by this kind of look, a sadness he had never felt before flooded from his heart, if he could be allowed to bear the pain of this moment for this woman, he would be willing to bear it on one shoulder no matter what kind of hardship, but he did not know what to say, he could only call out in a low voice, "Elder sister!"
"I want to be with him." Tian Ling'er said resolutely. Instead of her saying it to Zhang Xiaofan, it was more like she was saying it to her heart, to the Tian Yiqi couple who were not here, "I must be with Senior Sister Qi Hao, we swore an oath in the mountains and the sea, even if father and mother oppose it no matter how much, even if we wait until the sea withers and the stones are rotten, we will still be together."
She looked up at the night sky and swore this to the bright moon. Cold moonlight quietly sprinkled on her body, she is beautiful like a lily with sadness blooming in the night, so that people dazzled by her beauty and forget that beside her, the shadow of the depression and heart death.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.
Standing on a high place, the rising sunlight poured warmly on Zhang Xiaofan's body, warming his body but not his heart. He stood expressionlessly on top of the ring, facing Lu Xueqi, who stood across from him and was as beautiful as a heavenly fairy.
The contempt in that frosty woman's eyes was so obvious that above the square, everyone knew that he had entered the top four ranks mainly by luck rather than strength.
Behind her, Tianya emitted a faint blue light. Zhang Xiaofan looked at this legendary divine object and thought faintly: in a little while, would he be facing it?
Then, he forgot about this question in a few moments, since he came back last night, his spirit was all in a kind of trance rising and falling.
Above the sea of clouds, only two large rings remained at the moment, but in terms of the number of Qingyun disciples who had gathered around, the number of people who had watched the match between Qi Hao and Zeng Shushu in the west was only less than 30% of the number of those who had watched the match here, and almost all of them had been attracted by Lu Xueqi, who was the most popular of all this time, as well as Zhang Xiaofan, who had been too lucky to be in the match.
And amongst the elders, the vast majority of them, including the Sect Leader, Dao Xuan Zhenzhen, were also sitting under this ring.
Only, after the crowd saw Lu Xueqi ascending the ring, after a burst of cheering, most of the crowd was discussing whether Zhang Xiaofan would lose in a breath or a split second.
Below the stage, Tian Yi's brows were tightly frowned, even though he knew Zhang Xiaofan's roots quite clearly, but hearing the contemptuous comments of the people behind him still made him very uncomfortable. While Su Ru, who was sitting beside him, was looking around for her daughter.
Last night's big fight, Tian Ling'er cried and ran away, and early this morning she disappeared, with her mother's understanding of her daughter, she was afraid that this stubborn daughter had run to Qi Hao's competition ring.
She shook her head, although she loved this only daughter very much, but this time she was completely on her husband's side, perhaps this was a mother's instinct!
She always felt that no one in Dragon Head Peak was very nice.
She turned her head and looked towards the stage, at the same time, Zhang Xiaofan on the stage also looked over expressionlessly, their gazes met in the air, a moment later, Zhang Xiaofan looked around her as if he hadn't found the person he was looking for, and silently retracted his gaze again.
Su Ru frowned slightly and said to Tian Yiqi, "There's something wrong with Xiaofan's demeanor today, as if he's dead."
Tian Xianxian faintly said, "He's just nervous, it's not surprising that a small child hasn't seen the world."
Su Ru fell silent, so she did not speak again.
Zhang Xiaofan withdrew his gaze and landed on Lu Xueqi's face across the street, that absolutely beautiful face in the rising sunlight was glowing and radiant, very quickly, Lu Xueqi felt Zhang Xiaofan's gaze as he looked over, and disdain once again appeared in his eyes.
But this time, Zhang Xiaofan didn't avoid it anymore, he didn't even feel the sneering gaze from the opposite side, that beautiful face was surprisingly completely meaningless to him at the moment, only in his deep heart, he recited a sentence in a low, painful way, "She's not there, she went to watch Qi Hao's competition!"
As smart as Lu Xueqi, she quickly realized that this opponent was only looking at himself, but in his empty eyes he was clearly thinking about something else and completely ignoring his own existence. This was almost the first time in her life that she had ever experienced this, and it was as if a hint of surprise also appeared vaguely in her eyes.
"Dang!"
The bells and tripods chimed in unison, echoing across the Tongtian Peak. The four places quickly quieted down.
Lu Xueqi straightened her body and breathed deeply, as long as she won two more matches, just two, she would be able to realize her dream as well as her benefactor's expectations. Tianya was behind her, and the blue light gradually brightened up.
"Little Bamboo Peak disciple Lu Xueqi, please teach me."
Zhang Xiaofan was like waking up from a dream, but his first reaction was not to return the salute, but to look towards the stage with great expectations, there, heads were shrugging and all eyes were on him, but there was no figure of the person he wanted to see.
Lu Xueqi's face changed, the off-stage Qingyun disciples were also in an uproar, this was the first person to be so rude to Lu Xueqi, Tian Yiqiu and Su Ru looked at each other, at the same time, they all sensed, today this little disciple is really something wrong.
Zhang Xiaofan slowly turned his head, his face as gray as death, and faintly said, "I am Zhang Xiaofan of the Great Bamboo Peak, please senior sister must not show any mercy."
Lu Xueqi was stunned, although what was said before the match was nothing more than polite words, but this Zhang Xiaofan looked greatly eccentric, which person would say anything about don't show mercy, it sounded like a sneer, but looking at him it didn't look like it.
Lu Xueqi after all, is the water moon master's favorite disciple, mind firm, face look unchanged, and no longer say anything more, the right hand than, in her back "Tianya" slowly rise.
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the blue light deeper and deeper, bigger and bigger, illuminated his own body with blue, but no longer find a little nervous feeling, but in the depths of the heart, vaguely looking forward to something.
He took out the black and ugly burning stick.
A burst of laughter from the stage, compared with the opposite side of the noble, immortal "Tianya", the burning stick is like an ugly worm on the ground.
And at this moment, or a heart of death like a worm.
Ice cold feeling, once again filled the whole body, I do not know why, today this burning stick, as if there is a spirit of special excitement, that cold feeling swimming speed than the previous day much faster.
Zhang Xiaofan even felt that if he did not have the feeling of being connected to this burning stick, if he did not hold this burning stick, I am afraid that it would have rushed towards Lu Xueqi by itself.
No, it should not be toward Lu Xueqi, but toward Tianya, that kind of inexplicable feeling, like two deep hatred enemies.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi's face suddenly also changed, Tianya's light is too strong, it seems that she herself is also a little strange!
But Zhang Xiaofan, but did not mean to think about it, he looked at the beautiful woman in the blue light, suddenly realized that she seems to be a senior sister, but "senior sister" with an ice-cold gaze, looking at him coldly.
Above the ring, a surprising thing happened, Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi two people, unexpectedly did not make a move, just staring at each other, motionless.
The arena was in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion.
Lu Xueqi woke up suddenly, just now has always been connected with her spirituality Tianya suddenly appeared in the past days have not had a strange, so that her heart strange, but with the idea to view Tianya, but there is no difference, just as if Tianya vaguely have a kind of feeling of leaping to the test.
Feeling under the field of countless strange eyes, Lu Xueqi frowned, fixed the spirit, cold snort, all sorts of thoughts out of the mind, a light shout, Tianya blue light bloom, rushed up to the sky, but still did not come out of the sheath.
Since the beginning of the seven veins of martial arts competition, Tianya has become the focus of attention, but until now, Lu Xueqi in the case of no sheath one by one defeated all the opponents, which also let the people guess, in the end, what people can let her draw out the divine sword. At this point, everyone guessed that it must be until the final duel, with the kind of cultivation of Dragon Head Peak Qi Hao, in order to be able to do this, right?
Blue light, reflected on Zhang Xiaofan's face, but could not illuminate what expression he had, the black fire stick emitted a faint green light, slowly left his palm, stopped in front of him.
Despite having brought this burning stick for a long time and seen it, it was the first time that the people up and down the Great Bamboo Peak, including most of the onlookers, had seen Zhang Xiaofan cast a spell.
Du Bishu hummed and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Junior Brother, who was still clumsy two years ago, had suddenly transformed into a natural-born wizard."
On the stage, Lu Xueqi's face was solemn, her magic skill was clenched like a mountain, only to see the radiant Tianya in mid-air suddenly turn around, as fast as lightning, with the momentum of opening up mountains and cutting down the sea rushing towards Zhang Xiaofan.
The fire stick immediately met up, the blue light in mid-air and that ten thousand feet of blue light collided together, the momentum, even seemed to be not afraid.
The next moment, in the crowd dumbfounded, only to see Zhang Xiaofan is actually unbearable appearance, such as a serious injury, the whole person flew backward out, the burning stick is the light lost color, black negligence in the air spinning fly back to the master that direction.
For a moment, the people of the Great Bamboo Peak all stood up, the impatient such as Du Bishu and others also lost their voice and screamed out.
Zhang Xiaofan's back slammed backward into the ring pillars, fell down, throat sweet, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, spilled on the flying back to the burning stick, with a few points of the color of blood, and then, in the case of no one to see, Zhang Xiaofan's blood quickly seeped in.
Tianya's might was so great that all the people were stunned!
Lu Xueqi's face was as cold as frost, and even less hesitant, with a flash of blue light, Tianya mercilessly chopped down in mid-air.
Just at this time, the burning stick on the sudden black steam, especially in the stick body at the top, the green light is even more prevalent, Zhang Xiaofan hanging blood at the corner of the mouth, slowly stood up, pale but eyes like blood, appearance even with a few points of hideous.
When it's too late, the burning stick in the black gas green light again rushed to Tianya, two pieces of magic treasure in mid-air once contact, that is, each other bounced off, standing in the back of the Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan body is a big shock.
In mid-air, blue light flashes, green light brilliant, flying in the air, wherever, the ring above the original hardness of the giant wood are like confetti general scattered flying, sound sound like thunderbolts, deafening.
Surrounded by nearly a thousand people of the Qingyun Sect all changed color, since the beginning of the test, there is not a test like today in general, the beginning of such intense, the scene is not today's grandeur, only a few moments, a large ring was actually these two pieces of extraordinary power to the magic treasure to demolish seven or eight.
Under the stage of the original onlookers back a distance, only to see Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi two people have now floated to the mid-air, Lu Xueqi hands holding spells, full manipulation, posture serious through the dashing.
But on the contrary, Zhang Xiaofan, seems to be a bit odd, burning stick power although unexpected large, but he did not like Lu Xueqi general hands holding spells, instead of people in mid-air, hand dancing, and that burning stick actually also with his mind, fast as lightning, and Tianya fight not happy.
In spite of this, but Zhang Xiaofan heart is bitter to say, Tianya power, far beyond his imagination, burning stick every time and Tianya impact, his whole body meridians on the dramatic shock, if not he grew up in the Taiji Xuanqing Road outside also secretly practiced the Tianyin Temple's "Brahma Prajna" technique, meridians strong solid, at the same time have Brahma Prajna body protection! The first time I saw this, I was barely able to resist Tianya's divine power, but I had already spat out blood and died.
But look ahead Lu Xueqi is not the slightest bit different, Tianya under her control, the blue light is more and more blooming, more and more powerful, and gradually the burning stick green light black gas to the pressure down.
This box Zhang Xiaofan screamed bitterly, the other side of the Lu Xueqi heart is also surprised not small, the other side of the appearance of the burning stick treasure actually can be with the Tianya counterbalance of the spirit not to say, and also seems to have a hidden sucking power, all the time in the attraction of their own body spirit of blood, if not the roots of the solid, I'm afraid that the first pressure can not be within the body of the hot blood of the turbulence of the.
Thinking about this, Lu Xueqi heart is another burst of blood surging, floating in mid-air body almost almost lost balance, she was alarmed and anxious, from the exchange of views, she intuitively found that the opponent in the Taiji Xuanqing Road on the cultivation in fact is not high, far less than their own, but I do not know why he used the root of this odd treasure power is so great, even the sky Ea can only be in the surface of the superiority of the wind.
Lu Xueqi silver teeth bite, pink face, the whole body clothes without wind from the floating, only to see Tianya in mid-air and fire stick after a heavy blow, Zhang Xiaofan whole body shock, fire stick also slowed down for a moment.
In her jade-like palm and Tianya touch the moment, the moment blue light, engulfed her figure, Tianya sword body shock, issued as a dragon's roar general sound, rocking the sky, Lu Xueqi seems to be with Tianya human sword, sky and up, straight to the sky.
Zhang Xiaofan's heart at the moment has long forgotten what is outside the body, only to feel themselves and in mid-air in front of the burning stick of that kind of flesh and blood feeling more and more intense, and even feel out of this burning stick is like a living thing, at the moment is excited, an inexplicable fury rushed straight to the head.
He was in mid-air and raised his voice to the sky.
The sound moved the four fields, and heaven and earth changed color!
Black blue light, straight up to the sky, wild winds, boiling clouds!
Suddenly, the blue light flashed, a shrill whistle from far and near, from the quiet and unheard of rapidly increasing, until deafening, so that people can no longer hear any sound.
Ten thousand blue light, at this moment actually all merged into one, into a huge column of light head down, look at this momentum almost want to cut the green cloud mountain range into two halves.
Zhang Xiaofan face twisted, five senses and seven orifices in this moment suddenly all out of blood, but look at him between the look, there is not the slightest fear of the intention, the eyes gleam, the same reach out a probe to grab the fire stick, instantly roaming the sky green light black gas such as holding in his hands in general, straight to meet the downward rushing to the blue column of light.
Outside, the young Qingyun disciples are holding their breath, look straight in the eye, no one has any contempt for Zhang Xiaofan, and the older generation of elders among the first seat, have also changed their faces.
This match, actually is already a life and death struggle.
But for some reason, no one came out to stop it?
"Boom", such as the heavenly thunder, exploded the human world, as if the entire Tongtian Peak are violently trembled a little, the blue light folded backward and back, Lu Xueqi appeared in the sky, tightly gripped the Tianya, but the side of the mouth slowly flowed out a fresh blood.
Below the stage, Master Shui Yue stood up with a great vigor.
In mid-air, Zhang Xiaofan's ears were left with only the sound of the howling wind, his eyes were blurred, and the crimson blood almost covered his eyes. If he could hear the shouts from the outside world, he would have heard the cries of shock from the crowd of Great Bamboo Peak below him.
Su Ru's lips lost their blood color as she looked at the young disciple in midair who had almost become a bloody man, and said to Tian Yiqi in a sharp and low voice, "Yiqi, let Xiaofan admit defeat, quickly let him admit defeat."
Tian Yanyou's body trembled for a moment, staring deathly into mid-air, slowly shaking his head.
Feeling no more pain, Zhang Xiaofan was in that instantaneous air, such a thought suddenly flashed through his heart, he even suddenly thought: after I die, will Elder Sister she come to see me! Many years later, when she is living a happy life, will she also forget about me?
He reached out and wiped away the blood and water from the corners of his eyes!
Lu Xueqi only felt a sharp pain all over her body, her body's qi and blood clashed everywhere in the violently vibrating meridians, as if it was about to break out of her body and cheerfully rushed towards the hideous demon in the middle of the terrifying greenish light and black aura in front of her.
This was already a moment of life and death!
This has been the moment of eternity!
This beautiful woman, standing proudly in the gale, let the wind like a knife, even refused to retreat half a point. She raised her head and looked at the sky.
Wind, suddenly stopped, frozen in mid-air.
Heaven and earth, suddenly quiet, stopped at this moment.
"Rumble!" A low whistling seemed to come from the sky, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
Lu Xueqi backhanded and pulled out the "Tianya Divine Sword".
At once, the blue light in the sky dissipated, contracted, as if a dragon sucked water generally were sucked into the sword blade like autumn water.
The peak of the sky, a silence!
The legend of a thousand years of Tianya finally sheathed!
Lu Xueqi face like frost, hand holding the sword know-how, even in the suspended state of the foot on the seven stars orientation, the air even line seven steps, long sword Huo Ran piercing the sky, the jade face in a flash and then without a trace of blood, mouth reciting incantation: "Nine days of the Xuansha, into the divine thunder. Brilliant Heavenly Might, lead it with the sword!"
Within moments, the originally clear blue sky darkened, the dark clouds that suddenly appeared in the sky churned, thunder rumbled, and electricity constantly flashed at the edges of the dark clouds, galloping across the sky and the earth, a solemn and fierce wind.
As the gusts of wind pounded his face, Zhang Xiaofan slightly opened his mouth, this scenario, as if it had appeared once before in his memories from long ago.
Above the ground, from the Daoxuan Realist down to the Head Elders of the various veins, all of their faces were horrified and stood up in unison, and then turned to look at Master Shuiyue of the Little Bamboo Peak.
After a long time, Tian Yanyuan said in an astringent voice: "You taught a good disciple ah!"
Master Shui Yue, however, completely ignored the crowd, and for the first time, worry appeared on his always indifferent face as he looked at those two people in the sky.
"Divine Sword Royal Thunder True Technique!"
Dao Xuan Zhen Zhen slowly retracted his gaze, his heart was greatly shaken, unexpectedly under the Qing Yun Sect, among the younger generation, there was such a marvelous talent.
Only, looking at that female disciple's face, although barely cast this kind of worldly magic, but the body trembles, face as white as paper, I'm afraid that the power is not enough.
In the sky, the sound of thunder is more and more urgent, Zhang Xiaofan clearly feel, since the moment of the Tianya sheath, the hands of the burning stick on the fire suddenly rose up an abundant and incomparable power, as if this and their own flesh and blood connected treasure from the deepest depths of the deep cry general.
As if it has been waiting for this moment for a thousand years!
The sky was even darker, the clouds were pressing down, and a huge vortex slowly appeared in the thick clouds.
