Devour

She started to fight, and shouted, "First move, lose your soul."

The Soul Refining Staff Technique is fierce and ruthless, creating yang from yin. When it is performed, it produces boiling hot energy that is enough to burn gold and sparkle stone. A scorching hot wind blows across the field. It is known as the Soul Refining Staff Technique, and its reputation is well-deserved.

Cheng Bai did not dare to be careless. He met the enemy with three swords. The sword came and the stick went, and three moves were over in a blink of an eye.

In close combat, the knife could easily cut gold and jade, but it could not leave any mark on the blood jade staff. Its strength and toughness were surprising.

Cheng Bai resisted, estimated the strength of the enemy, and was secretly happy: "The gap between her and me is not too big, we can fight."

The Red Jade Banner Master counted to the fourth move and thought he could easily win, but he was unable to defeat Cheng Bai in such a short time. He was very surprised: "You are a swordsman, but you practice the Six Paths Supreme Art. How did Old Monster Shi teach such a weirdo?"

She was very knowledgeable and could quickly tell the difference: "This seemingly similar sword technique is similar to the sword technique of the three old monsters in Yaoguang. Could it be that they are special disciples jointly taught by the Yaoguang Temple and the Yuheng Temple?"

There is always a gap between the sects. Disciples who travel between the two sects are usually only recorded in name, but not in true teachings. Those who can receive true teachings must be disciples who are taught by the master. It is extremely rare for different sects to join forces to train elites. Therefore, when Cheng Bai signed up for the academy and said that he practiced swordsmanship, he was laughed at.

No matter what, after testing Cheng Bai's true colors, the Lord of the Red Jade Banner used his real strength and launched the domain.

"Fifth move, soul lamp turns on."

The flames around them lit up like lights, filling the entire field, and the temperature instantly rose a lot. Seeing this, the subordinates under Hongyu retreated wisely, leaving a wider area to avoid being burned.

The Lord of the Red Jade Banner is not a genius, but relies on the long-term accumulation of resources, which results in qualitative changes caused by quantitative changes. Combined with the soul refining staff technique, he has formed a unique soul lamp field.

Every soul lamp that touches or burns the opponent during an attack will cause damage to the body and mind, and it is also very famous among all the powerful people.

The staff techniques are exquisite and the domain images are strange.

Cheng Bai did not dare to be negligent. He deployed his domain and spirit shield and fought with a sword. However, there was an obvious gap in their skills. He defended more than he attacked and fell into a disadvantage.

The leader of the Red Jade Flag used several moves in succession, using the Soul Refining Staff Technique to strike within the Soul Lamp field, refining the soul and dispersing the spirit. It was extremely powerful and could take a person's life in an instant.

But Cheng Bai's spiritual shield was too solid for her to break, so she had to attack faster and faster.

"The twelfth move, the dance of soul lamps."

The Red Jade Flag Master simply urged the Soul Lanterns to fly, and they came one after another, attacking the opponent like cannonballs. To her surprise, the Soul Lanterns not only did not cause any damage, but disappeared without a trace after hitting Cheng Bai.

The white domain not only made the crystal cores and treasures food, but also the energy balls around them. After swallowing the soul lamps one after another, the tiny blades on the surface of the spirit shield spun faster and faster like a wound spring, and the number continued to increase, and the true essence and spiritual consciousness became more and more vigorous.

Cheng Bai was overjoyed after getting the benefit: "Her domain is not as strong as Shen Ya's. She is constantly replenishing my strength."

The Red Jade Banner Master was confused. After a few moves, nearly half of his soul lamps disappeared one after another. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already suffered heavy losses. He exclaimed, "What kind of secret technique is this? Why is it swallowing my soul lamp?"

Cheng Bai unleashed the Black Spirit, his sword energy spread out in all directions, his power gradually grew, and he turned from defense to offense and killed his opponent.

"The nineteenth move, refining the soul and returning to its destination."

The leader of the Red Jade Flag shouted delicately and used the most powerful move of the Soul Refining Staff Technique. In the soul lamp field, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and soul shadows were everywhere, like a hundred ghosts wandering at night.

In the contest between the two sides, the sword energy was defeated, and the Black Spirit's killing move was directly broken up by the stronger opponent for the first time.

The Red Jade Flag Master seemed to have the upper hand, but she was actually more shocked in her heart. The power of her strongest move was also exhausted, but the spiritual shield was still there, which meant that Na Chengbai was helpless.

In a flash, Cheng Bai's domain transformed into the shape of a beast head, roaring and howling, and forcibly suppressed the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in the soul lamp domain. It opened its huge mouth and swallowed the whale's blood. The remaining soul lamps fell into the beast head's mouth involuntarily and were swallowed up in a blink of an eye. The domain collapsed without any attack.

The leader of the Hongyu Banner was incomprehensible.

She was pale. It was the first time she saw the domain being forced to dissipate. Her true energy was in disarray and she could hardly continue. She reluctantly said, "The twentieth move."

However, the leader of the Red Jade Banner was unable to use this move. The loss of his domain had a great impact on all aspects. His power dropped sharply, like he was suddenly stuck in a quagmire during a charge and could not move forward.

She was horrified and murmured in a dreamy voice, "I lost."

Cheng Bai did not use the knife he had prepared to open the gate of life and death, and hurriedly said, "Thank you for the treasure, senior."

As agreed, Cheng Bai wins the bet.

The onlookers looked at each other in surprise, not expecting the result.

Huangfu Sanchuan was watching the battle from a distance, and couldn't help but be surprised: "The Red Jade Banner Master is obviously stronger, how come he suddenly lost?"

"Third brother, this kid is very evil. It seems that he can absorb the power of others." The leader of the Red Jade Banner snorted coldly, and did not forget to remind Huangfu Sanchuan. Finally, he did not regret it and threw the Blood Jade Staff over.

Cheng Bai took the treasure and put it away, then rode on Xiaobai and rushed towards the opposite camp.

After defeating the Red Jade Banner Master, he also wanted to defeat the Tianji Palace Master. He stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Junior Cheng Bai greets Palace Master Huangfu."

"I know you, the rising star Thunder Blade King Chengbai, the disciple of the Stone Palace Master. The defensive skill that makes Shen Ya helpless is the secret art of spiritual shield." Huangfu Sanchuan was very well-informed.

Cheng Bai held the knife in his hand and took a stance: "Please give me some advice, senior."

Huangfu Sanchuan raised the Wind-Fire-Fen-Gold Stick and stood still: "Among the seven holy temples, the one I admire most is Yuheng Hall Master Shi Ziyu, even more than Tianshu Hall Master Guan Wanlan, who is nominally the highest holy temple. If Hall Master Shi had not passed on his skills to several disciples, his strength would have been the strongest among the seven hall masters."

The disciples of the surrounding Tianji Temple retreated again and again, keeping a distance far beyond the subordinates of the Red Jade Banner Master, and gave up most of the area on the hillside.

Cheng Bai remembered Shi Ziyu's teachings in his heart. The Six Paths of Supreme Power was a great reliance for him to leap into a new realm. He was puzzled and asked, "What is the relationship between the seven holy temples? They are neither the same sect nor an alliance, but they are all of the same blood."

"The seven holy temples are departments of the same level, and the temple masters are just positions of the same level. The Hunter Guild belongs to a business alliance, not a sect. The only truly famous sects in Qiongqi Continent are the Weapon Sect, the Medicine Sect, and the Sword Sect. Other small sects are often fleeting and not worth mentioning."

After Huangfu Sanchuan finished speaking, he used the first move of Feisha Staff Technique, "Pingsha Luoyan".

Cheng Bai used the "Xiao" technique of the Six Paths of Bliss Fist to integrate into his swordsmanship and removed the Wind-Fire-Burning Gold Stick. This treasure was superior to the Crossing Sword in terms of both material and power, so he did not dare to confront it head-on. He thought to himself, "The Wind-Fire-Burning Gold Stick ranks fourth among the seven treasures of the continent, and the power it carries is even stronger than that of the Red Jade Flag Master."

Huangfu Sanchuan used three moves in succession to force Cheng Bai away, and continued: "The seven holy temples are like small princes, with their own inheritance and many disciples. The masters of each generation were inherited by their direct descendants. After more than ten thousand years, they developed and were succeeded by outstanding disciples, and then gradually became sects."

Cheng Bai was in a panic under the Feisha stick technique, and was secretly surprised: "His skills are better than the Red Jade Flag Master, why is it so difficult to determine the winner in the confrontation? Could it be..."

"Fifth move, flying sand and shining, the domain image is activated, be careful."

Huangfu Sanchuan's domain image showed yellow sand flying all over the sky, and the dust covered the entire hillside, vast and lonely, which was much more complete than the domains seen before. He had stepped into the realm of Guangfa, with a wide range of influence. Combined with the Feisha stick method, he came and went without a trace, making it difficult for opponents to resist.

Stealth assassination is almost useless in such a domain. The strong can sense everything, and concealment is difficult to deceive. Cheng Bai's swordsmanship is difficult to resist, and he hurriedly uses the spirit shield to resist several moves.

Huangfu Sanchuan failed to break through after several moves, and said in surprise: "Is this the secret spirit shield technique that you used to make them helpless? It is indeed as solid as a rock."

The spiritual shield has many advantages. It can provide defense without affecting the attack of the true essence sword energy. As long as the spiritual consciousness and mental power are not exhausted, it can be maintained for a long time. Cheng Bai was glad many times that he made the right choice.

"I'm sorry for showing my ugliness."

Cheng Bai was polite, but he kept calculating in his mind: "The Tianji Palace Master is using real stick skills to attack, and the domain is used for support, not energy attack. My domain is still too passive, and it is difficult to devour without provocation. If it goes on for a long time without replenishment, the spirit shield will consume a lot of spiritual consciousness, and I will definitely lose."

Fortunately, he had just devoured a lot of soul lamps from the Red Jade Flag Master, so his strength had increased and he was in high spirits, so he could hold on for a while.

Huangfu Sanchuan used one move after another, but was unable to defeat his opponent and had to resort to his ultimate move.

"The thirteenth move is as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges River."

The continuous stick strikes hit the spirit shield, and the heavy shadows of the sticks made the blade-like true energy rotating on the surface dented, but they did not use all their strength, as they were also preventing themselves from being swallowed.

Cheng Bai was more defensive than offensive, and his spiritual shield was shaken by the violent attacks, making it difficult to maintain stability.

He gathered his strength and responded to several attacks in succession. His spiritual eyes predicted and he thought to himself, "A powerful attack is coming. The previous attacks were all built up, and the fatal attack will trigger all the power."

"The twentieth move, gathering sand into a tower."

Huangfu Sanchuan really used his strongest move. The strange scene changed color, and a huge pillar suddenly appeared in the vast desert, sweeping away thousands of troops. The power of the wind and fire burning golden stick rolled up a sky full of dust and rushed over.

Seeing the powerful force coming, Cheng Bai suddenly felt heroic: "Which is better, my swordsmanship or your sticksmanship? Let's decide who is stronger today."

He pushed the Six Paths of Supremacy to its limit, used his spiritual eyes to discern the trajectory of his opponent's moves, and used all his strength to unleash his strongest killing move, opening the gate of life and death with his sword. As he thought about it, white gas appeared, like smoke and fog, penetrating every pore and covering the entire flying sand desert area. The area was filled with yellow sand and smoke, and everything was blurry.

When the scenery on the hillside returned to normal, the two exchanged positions, savoring the intensity just now and immersing themselves in each other's moves.

"Good swordsmanship, full of murderous intent, profound artistic conception, superb, above the famous killing three-kill sword, better than the flying sand stick method. I lost."

After Huangfu Sanchuan finished speaking, he pressed several major acupoints on his body, forcing out several white sword auras, and everything they touched was turned into dust.

With just this one move, Huangfu Sanchuan exposed the hidden danger and was superior to his previous opponents. However, he showed no desire to fight and stuck the Fenghuo Fenjin Stick into the ground, then turned and walked away.

"It's yours. The Red Jade Banner Master and I both lost to you in 20 moves, and the bet is a draw. With this record, you can go anywhere on the continent. The future world belongs to you young people."

The leader of the Red Jade Flag was actually defeated in the 19th move and was unable to fight again. The leader of the Tianji Palace was much stronger.

Cheng Bai did not correct him, but said politely: "Senior, your stick skills are superb, and you almost broke my spiritual shield. I feel the pressure."

In this fight, the opponent really wants to give in. If they really fight to the death, it is still unknown who will win. It is a good thing to either maintain face or stop the fighting.

Cheng Bai knew what was going on, so he took away the Wind Fire Burning Gold Stick and said, "Thank you two seniors for your help."

The two teams left the Twin Hills and dispersed one after another. A long battle finally ended.

Cheng Bai took a rest on the hillside and looked towards the south. In the distance was the second largest river on the continent, the Exiled Immortal River, which was like an immortal's white belt of immortality, winding on the green grassland. The sunlight sprinkled layers of silver on the river surface, reflecting the sparkling waves.

The largest river is the Changshou River, not its tributary the Changshe River.

The Exiled Immortal River is wider and deeper than the Long Snake River. It is home to the monster red carp, which has a human face and a fish body and sounds like a baby. It is said that eating its meat can prevent and treat all kinds of diseases. Even if it does not have this effect, the deliciousness of red carp is well-known throughout the continent.

Cheng Bai naturally couldn't let it go, so he ran straight to the river.

When fishing, I found that the red carp was more alert and stronger than the fish I knew before, and it was much harder to catch. When they found the hunter approaching, they immediately ran away, as if they were particularly timid and cowardly. It was hard to believe that it was a powerful monster that only a level 13 hunter dared to challenge.

Cheng Bai took Xiao Bai and wandered around the shore for a long time, but there was little gain.

There was one exception, a hunter on the river bank.

He looked over and saw a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, phoenix eyes, drooping eyebrows, a rhino nose, and five strands of fluttering beard. He looked like an immortal banished to earth. He was sitting leisurely on a high place by the river, fishing. The bait put on the several-meter-long silver fishing rod was still struggling on the river surface. It was actually a red-faced spider as big as a millstone.

Cheng Bai didn't know this fisherman, but he felt familiar with the dark purple ring on his finger.

The thick fishing rod was tightened and a fish was hooked. The fisherman held the rod tightly and pulled up a five-meter-long red carp, which bit the red-faced spider tightly with its bloody mouth.

As Cheng Bai was admiring, the river surface rolled up with extremely turbulent waves, and a huge beast with a ten-meter-long crocodile head, a snake body and six legs swooped down. Its huge mouth was as long as a guillotine, and its rows of sharp teeth as swords bit the red carp, refusing to let go.

A small number of crocodiles occasionally come down from the upper reaches of the Zexian River to look for food. They usually have four legs, but the elite ones have six legs and are more ferocious.

In an instant, the tension of the silver fishing rod reached nearly 2 pounds and bent into an arc.

The fisherman seemed to have expected this, and he calmly pulled up the fishing rod with one hand and threw it onto the shore, as if he had just caught two big fish with an ordinary fishing rod. Rocks and dirt flew everywhere, and the two monsters fell heavily to the ground, dizzy and paralyzed, unable to move.

"A red carp plus a six-legged crocodile, killing two birds with one stone, amazing."

Cheng Bai got to know many monsters through the Hunter's Guild and knew how powerful they were. He was no match for such records and strength.

The fisherman said leisurely, "What's amazing is this fishing gear, the luxurious silver fishing rod, the dark spider silk fishing line, and the sword camel dragon crystal core. Catching these monsters is just a piece of cake. I'm looking forward to catching the Death Ghost Face, but unfortunately I haven't succeeded so far."

This is probably a common problem among fishing experts. Cheng Bai asked curiously, "Senior, how can I get such good fishing gear?"
