The Villain's White Lotus Halo

The sky is bright and the air is clear, the sun is rising, and the morning fog has not dispersed.

This is a vast open space, which was cleared by the Qinglu Sword Sect long ago, leaving only a few tall elm trees with luxuriant branches and leaves.

Although it is said to be at the foot of Chongming Mountain, it is still some distance away from the mountain.Can only faintly see the shadow of the towering mountain in the cloud.Those who competed today all came very early.The disciples of each sect were arranged five feet away from the arena, separated by a wooden fence, with the leader sitting at the front, and the rest of the disciples standing behind.Looking from a distance, under the four huge rectangular stone platforms, surrounded by dense crowds, the costumes and areas are distinct, allowing people to see the sect's origin at a glance.Ten zhang away, the people from Yecheng arrived earlier than those sent by other sects.Before dawn, I came to the hut that was set up a few days ago, took tea and snacks, took a good position on the hillside, and waited for the opening with great interest.However, right now is not the time when there are the most people. In the first round of the Flower Folding Festival, many people will not miss every match.As the host, the Qinglu Sword Sect has only sent one half-step Mahayana elder to sit on the easternmost side of the stand to prevent accidents in the competition.Duan Chongxuan was not the first one.So Yin Biyue and the three of them stood behind Elder Cheng in Xiping Peak and in front of the rest of Cangya Mountain disciples,?Looking at the four people who just jumped up on the ring.

Today's first two games are really nothing to watch, they are all disciples of little-known sects and barely reached the stage of concentrating.As time passed, except for the people of Yecheng who were amazed and applauded because of the fire and haze, the elders and disciples in the stands were a little bit less interested.The only group of Lian Jianzong against Shangqinglu Sword Sect, also because of the huge disparity in strength, was over in less than a cup of tea.

Yin Biyue watched very carefully, especially the Qinglu Sword Sect scene.He watched how the disciple's sword rose up, how it slanted forward, and how it struck horizontally, breaking Lian Jianzong's "Shoulders of Mountains and Rivers".He could see both the movement of his steps and the angle of his heavy wrist, and deduced in his sea of ​​consciousness to what extent the same swordsmanship would be performed if Zhong Shan was in the later stage of breaking barriers.

At this moment, there was a commotion in Bao Puzong's team, the crowd separated from both sides, and a disciple came out.He saluted the elders of his own family, and he did not forget to nod to He Lai standing behind the elders.The elder smiled wrinkled his face, and asked him a few words patiently.

When Baopu Zong came, he also divided into two groups, one was led by He Lai, and the other was followed by the elders on the only cloud flying boat in the sect. ?

The difference in this group of people is not that their realm is higher than others, but because they are all relatives of the elders of Baopu Zongmen or children of high-ranking aristocratic families.Li Lin was the only son of an elder.The deacon of the Qinglu Sword Sect shouted, "Ring No. [-], Duan Chongxuan of Cangya Mountain is facing Puzong Li Lin..." The voice spread far away with true energy, and the audience suddenly became lively.The disciples who were bored just now cheered up in an instant.

Just when someone exclaimed, "Duan Chongxuan? A Xihuafeng man? A disciple of the Sword Master?" Someone lowered his voice to explain to him, "It is said that this person was sent to Xihuafeng with a letter of recommendation by Mr. Zhang. , Juggernaut and Mister are good friends, I still have to give some face... but I can only be regarded as a nominal apprentice." The person who asked the question didn't care about his disappointment, and said humanely, "But tomorrow I can see the real sword The holy disciple enters the field...Look at Cangya Mountain, that white-haired boy is Yin Biyue, he is the second disciple of the sword master to use a sword!" There were also many discussions about the other side of the battle.Obviously someone has heard of this name before, "Li Lin? His father is Li Changhong, who embraced Pu Zong?" Some people also looked bitter, "To be honest, I am most afraid of meeting this kind of person. There are too many good things to protect yourself. Who knows what's going on!? It's hard to win with a higher cultivation level than him!" There is someone who is more informed, "Didn't it mean that his mother came from a big family?" He snickered at this point, "Didn't he before he was eight years old?" Is there still a nickname, 'Hengduan Mountain Little Overlord'." There is no doubt that this scene is the biggest highlight of today.

Li Lin jumped onto the ring, looked around the audience, settled on Cangya Mountain, and smiled with the corner of his mouth open.That smile made people very uncomfortable, besides arrogance, there was also disdain.

Now he is naturally no longer a 'Hengduan Mountain Little Overlord'.Eight feet long, with strong muscles and dark yellow skin.The eyebrows and eyes are straight, but because of years of arrogant squinting and disdainful curling of the lips, they have become a little crooked.However, he was tall and tall, with an epee on his back. Standing on the ring, his condescending glance was still very intimidating.

At this time, Duan Chongxuan brushed off the hem of his robe, and Shi Shiran walked onto the stage.He is wearing Cang Ya's standard Taoist robe today, but he is different from other disciples.The material is slippery, the workmanship is fine, and the cloud pattern on the cuffs, as he walks, seems to be flowing and shining.The hair is tied with a jade crown, and the waist is tied with a silver belt. It looks like it has broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a long body.When standing beside Yin Biyue and Luo Mingchuan with such a clear and graceful demeanor?Doesn't look particularly outstanding.

But when he stood opposite Li Lin, there was a stark contrast, the difference between cloud and mud.

The first crazy ones were the nuns of Lian Jianzong. Some of these bold and bold girls screamed directly.When the elder Lian Jianzong turned his head and gave them a hard look, he came to his senses and realized that it was embarrassing just now.But still blushing and whispering, "Where does his family live?"

"How many people are in the family?"

"Has there ever been a marriage?"

"..."

Yin Biyue remained silent.

Did I make a mistake?The chatter is the main character?Look at the effect of this appearance with its own halo——

Or is it that Lianjian people's three views are based on their faces?

When the two on the stage met the ceremony, Li Lin was a little perfunctory, but Duan Chongxuan was tight-lipped.Then he stood up, folded his fan and pointed, "Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist."

Just like making way for Baopu Zong on Panlong Ridge.

This kind of demeanor obviously made Lian Jian's nuns even more excited.But he was not favored by the sitting elders.The two are in similar realms, so it is very unwise to take the initiative to give up the opportunity to make a move.It is no longer self-confidence, but arrogance.

The disciples of Baopuzong booed.

Li Lin didn't speak, he was not stupid, and he wouldn't refuse because of his manners.On the contrary, Duan Chongxuan's behavior made him feel ridiculous.

So he drew his sword and slashed straight!

A golden light appeared on the ring!

It was a heavy sword with a complicated rune array engraved on the blade, inspired by true energy, shining a dazzling light, enough to increase the power of the sword by [-]%!

His move is simple and unpretentious, there are no ostentatious tricks, only the majestic true energy poured out.

Someone in the audience recognized the goods and exclaimed, "It really is a good thing!"

Forging such a sword requires at least five years of hard work by two swordsmiths and array talisman masters above the Hinayana realm.It can be seen how much Li Changhong loves his only son and what high hopes he places on him.

The female cultivators of Lian Jianzong held their breath, as if the young man facing the sword on the stage was their relatives and old friends.

Yin Biyue was suddenly worried.

Thinking about it now, he had never seen a chatterbox practice.If you are facing this sword by yourself, you will not take it hard. The best way is to use the third form of the cold water sword to switch from defense to offense...

No, no, I won't let Li Lin draw the sword first!

In the face of such a swift sword, the best way is to be faster than the opponent.

Not only Yin Biyue, many people were thinking, if it was him, how would he take this sword?

However, none of them expected that in front of Duan Chongxuan, a raging wall of fire would appear out of thin air!

"He is a spiritual practitioner?! What kind of exercise is that? Why is it so fast!"

"No... no tricks, not even a little fluctuation of true energy!"

Someone with sharp eyes shouted, "It's not a skill, it's a burning talisman!"

"Burning Talisman?! Is it really a Burning Talisman?!"

Yin Biyue felt relieved.

He knew about Duan Chongxuan's burning talisman.On the way they came, Duan Hualao also used Burning Talismans to clean up the cave, which was very useful without ash and smoke.

At first he was shocked.Even if the flames were far from being so big at the time.

In the "age of all saints", it was common for practitioners to use talismans as if they were meditating. At that time, the power of a talisman could split mountains and rocks.But in the "Dharma-ending Era" a million years later, the method of making talismans was completely lost.Up to now, the practitioners who are proficient in the talisman array can at most engrave the runes on the weapons, and they are far from being able to condense the mighty power on a thin piece of talisman paper.

In the black market, occasionally a talisman brought out from the ancient ruins and whose power has not dissipated is immediately fired to a priceless price.

So even though they saw it with their own eyes, many people still didn't want to believe that it was really a burning talisman.

Li Lin took out a black shield from the 'Qiankun Sleeve' and turned the fire away, and cracked lines appeared on the black shield immediately.Without hesitation, he cut it off with another sword!A phantom of the eight trigrams array appeared in the golden light!Straight towards Duan Chongxuan! !The crowd exclaimed, "Baopu Bagua Sword!"

The elder holding Pu Zong smiled slightly.

He recognized that it was a burning talisman, but so what, using the precious talisman paper in the first round of competition, this person is either incompetent or stupid.No matter what kind it is, it is not a concern. Could it be that he can still take out the second and third talismans?Then his smile froze.

Because a piece of slightly yellowed talisman paper appeared between Duan Chongxuan's fingers, swaying in the cool summer wind.

The fire started again!Skyrocket!

Li Lin's sword power was instantly engulfed by the flames!

This time Duan Chongxuan's movements slowed down enough for everyone to see clearly.The audience exploded in an instant.

"It's really a Burning Talisman! He has two Burning Talismans!"

"Heaven is above! How expensive is this thing!"

"Three thousand golds, eight hundred spirit stones, seventy dendrobiums of East Sea shark beads, a large manor with a treasured place of geomantic omen..." Li Lin's eyes widened in disbelief.He also has a talisman, which was given to him by his father.But who would have thought that as soon as this person came on stage, he used two of them in the blink of an eye.The fire is imminent!

He threw out a big clock without hesitation! ?

"Dark Crow and Twilight Clock...tsk, what a good thing..."

But with the Burning Talisman first, this rare defensive magic weapon did not cause much sensation.

In addition to heartache, Li Lin is more angry!His rich wealth and many magic weapons were originally his greatest advantage.

But he didn't believe that Duan Chongxuan would have another talisman!When this person runs out of talisman paper, he will be cut off by his own sword!

The golden light of the sword reflected his scarlet eyes, and he was already in a mess.

So the above scenario is repeated.

Whenever Li Lin's sword came, Duan Chongxuan threw out a talisman lightly.Dissipate the sword potential and then consume a magic weapon of the opponent.

The people in the audience went from being shocked to speechless.

Cangyashan disciples and Lianjianzong nuns forgot to laugh, and even Baopuzong forgot to curse.

In the distance, the people of Yecheng watched the fire soaring into the sky and applauded louder than ever.

The half-step Mahayana elder of the Qinglu Sword Sect began to concentrate on calculating, and suddenly his face turned pale!

The battles in the other three arenas had stopped at some point, and no one raised a voice to remind them.

On and off the stage, everyone looked at one after another, as if there were endless burning talismans!

The fierce flames ignited out of thin air again and again!

Li Lin, who was facing the fire, became more and more angry!

The flames rushed towards his face, and Li Lin retreated quickly with his sword in hand!

However, it was too late, the flames rolled up along the tip of the sword!

His true essence was rapidly consumed by the sword force, and the magic weapon was constantly damaged under the burning talisman.

Yet he has lost his mind!

It wasn't until a water curtain appeared in front of him that he realized that it was the water talisman he had thrown just now.

His father left him behind.The last magic weapon on his body.

When he looked up, he saw Duan Chongxuan waving his folding fan and smiling slightly.

It was as if cold water had been poured on his head, and he felt belatedly that every inch of meridian in his body was in severe pain like a burning fire.That's because the true energy has been exhausted if the sword is constantly thrown out, and if it goes on, it will damage the tendons and bones.

Then the fire broke out again, and Li Lin was burned and fell off the ring.

The dizzy disciple of Baopu Zong also reacted, shouting and cursing,

"Compete on stage! Relying on talisman paper alone! It's shameless! It's extremely embarrassing!"

If they were the ones who suppressed people with weapons, then the scene at this time is definitely showing off how profound the school's heritage is.However, when this method was used on him, he felt extremely aggrieved.

Duan Chongxuan smiled lightly.

The tall elm tree beside the stage rustled in the breeze, and the fine shadows of the tree fell on him.

It seems that there has never been any competition here, nor has there been golden light and raging fire.There is only one Pianpianjia son, who smiles like a breeze and a moon in his arms.

He smiled and asked, "How can such a person be worth my shot?"

Before the Cangya Mountain disciples had time to applaud, Lian Jianzong burst into cheers first!

"Senior Brother Duan! Senior Brother Duan!!"

"Senior Brother Duan, look this way!!"

"Is Brother Duan married?!"

This time, Lian Jian's elder stared straight at him, but he couldn't suppress the madness.

*************

Many years later, Duan Chongxuan became a big shot.

This playful competition was also recorded in the history books, using the word "eclectic".

But nowadays, there are no such euphemistic and implied compliments. When people mention this contest at the foot of Chongming Mountain and in Yecheng Well, most of them will say "unbelievable", "is it true" and... "too rich" .

Duan Chongxuan...created a new way of playing the Flower Folding Club.
