Chapter 150: Mirror Flower Water Moon Saves Acorus
No one was dissatisfied with this open and aboveboard duel, but as mentioned in the preface, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Just now, amid the cheers of Yuan Qing and his disciples, another disciple of Kunwu Sect flew onto the martial arts stage.
But whether it was because Cheng Qi was too good or those Kunwu disciples were too useless, Cheng Qi had never been defeated. Seeing that there were only a few new disciples left in Kunwu Sect, even Xuantan Zhenren felt a little embarrassed.
The Yuanqing sect has always been indifferent to worldly affairs. He thought that the disaster many years ago had damaged its vitality, but now it seems that they are just too lazy to compete.
When another disciple of Kunwu Sect was knocked off the stage, no one from Kunwu Sect came up on the stage anymore. Some disciples of Kunwu Sect became anxious, but as per an agreement before the competition, only new disciples were allowed to go on the stage. If not for this, they would have been able to avenge the Kunwu Sect.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, a person walked out of the crowd. It was none other than Acorus.
She did not fly onto the stage like the previous disciples did, but walked up the steps of the martial arts stage slowly and leisurely. As soon as she stood still, she smiled and said to Cheng Yu:
"Why don't you let me meet you?"
The Kunwu Sect disciples below the stage all looked incredulous. Although Chang Pu was a disciple of Taoist Xuan Tan, she had not shown any outstanding qualities in the days since she joined the sect. She was always quiet and silent, but she dared to stand out in such an occasion. Her performance in the Yuanqing Sect's meeting hall had stunned everyone.
What happened? How could a woman who was usually quiet become like this?
They naturally didn't know what had happened. As for what had happened in Kunwu Sect in recent days, Master Xuanhuai had only spoken privately to Taoist Xuantan and had never made it public.
Lian Qiao was also surprised when he saw the calamus on the stage.
"This... this person is not..."
"Do you know this person?" Banxia asked doubtfully.
Of course she knew this person. Changpu also came from a family of demon hunters, and her sister was married to Lianqiao's second brother. The two of them had practiced demon-hunting skills together.
What surprised Lian Qiao was that in her impression, Chang Pu was a quiet woman, but why did the person on the stage give her the feeling...
But she is just like the girls in the brothel...
Even if he had learned some skills from a sect, there wouldn't have been such a big change...
After hearing what Lian Qiao said, Lingxiang couldn't help but smile. Just as she thought, this Chang Pu was really just an ordinary person. It's just that his consciousness might be imprisoned now, and now the one who controls her is another person.
"She is still the same person, but Ke Xin may have become someone else."
Lingxiang's nonsensical words made Banxia and Lianqiao even more confused. When they asked again, Lingxiang just smiled and said nothing. She raised her chin and pointed to the martial arts stage.
"I don't fight with women." Cheng Yu said as he bowed.
Upon hearing this, Acorus laughed: "Since you don't want to fight with a woman, then just stay quiet, and I won't have to fight anymore."
Hearing her say this, Cheng Yu immediately hesitated. It was true that he had never fought with a woman, but if he did not fight, he was afraid that he would disappoint his master.
Just when he didn't know what to do, he heard a voice from somewhere below the stage: "If you don't take action, the Marrow Cleansing Pill will be handed over to someone else. Losing the Marrow Cleansing Pill is a small matter, but it does show that our Yuanqing Sect looks down on the Kunwu Sect and is unwilling to associate with it. Wouldn't this hurt the harmony between the two sects?"
The person who said this was naturally Lingxiang. Although she spoke in a low voice, she could hear it immediately.
Since Elder Fu Cang said so, then he should accept the challenge!
"I'm sorry." Cheng Yu said as he bowed.
Seeing him like this, Chang Pu smiled again, and her smile was extremely charming: "It is said that men are used to listening to others. Just now, he said that he would not fight with women, but he was just provoked by someone and he is going to break his promise."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu remained silent, but just put on a stance. It seemed that he was going to abandon the formation and use force this time.
But Acorus was not moved at all and even started picking his nails. He looked so frivolous that Lian Qiao in the audience was staring in amazement.
Is this still the Acorus she knows?
Cheng Yu felt somewhat displeased when he saw him like this. Although he did not want to fight with a woman, so he put down his formation skills and only fought with her body skills, Changpu's behavior was really disrespectful to her.
This woman is so rampant, she really should be taught a lesson.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu silently recited the incantation, and saw a magic circle flash under his feet. Then he rushed towards Chang Pu, but his movements were much faster than usual.
This technique is similar to Xinyi's, both of them use spiritual power to push the speed of the body to the limit. The only difference is that Xinyi uses his own spiritual power to initiate the technique, while Chengqi uses a magic circle to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to bless the body.
Cheng Qi moved fiercely, and in an instant he was close to Chang Pu, and stretched out his hand to attack her. It seemed that his fist was about to hit her, but...
But Changpu remained calm. Just when everyone thought she was unable to react in time, she suddenly grabbed Cheng Yu's hand, dodged behind him and pinned him down.
This movement was so fast that even the elders on the Wangxian Terrace could not see it clearly. Everyone present was shocked, especially the disciples of Kunwu Sect - during the daily practice, Changpu's schoolwork was not very good and he could even hardly keep up. How could he suddenly have such skills?
Cheng Yu was held by Chang Pu and was shocked. He looked at the frail woman and didn't expect her to have such strength. He had used 90% of his strength in that punch just now, but she twisted him around easily.
Why is it so easy? It’s because now Acorus only needs two fingers to hold Chengqi.
Cheng Yu did not dare to underestimate the enemy now, and hurriedly used his free hand to make some hand gestures, but Changpu did not give him a chance. He kicked him heavily off the stage.
The whole place was silent, no one reacted, all were extremely shocked. And in this silence, the sound of snapping was even more obvious.
Chang Pu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ling Xiang peeling pine seeds leisurely. She was startled at first, then smiled and said, "I thought the Yuan Qing Sect was so powerful, but it's just so-so. Don't challenge me with a new disciple. I think that man is a good opponent."
Changpu raised her hand and pointed. Everyone looked in the direction she pointed. She was pointing at the Ophiopogon japonicus on the Wangxian Terrace.
Maidong also had an innocent look on her face. She was eating the snacks Lingxiang gave her, and her face was covered with them. She hadn't said a word until now. Who had she offended?
Everyone gasped in shock. Firstly, they didn't know why Maidong was sitting in the seat that should have belonged to Elder Fu Cang. Secondly, they didn't expect that Chang Pu would be so arrogant as to designate someone to compete with her.
Of course, calamus is not without purpose. Rather than saying that the blade on the stage is calamus, it is better to say that it is Huanhua.
She had always thought that Maidong was Lingxiang, the daughter of Fairy Tumi, the daughter of the dead woman whom the Demon Lord could not forget.
She was going to kill her in public today! Just as everyone was surprised, they saw a person flying onto the stage. It was none other than Lian Qiao.
Lian Qiao had always felt that Chang Pu was a little strange. Now that she was provoking the sect, she should stop her, both morally and logically.
"Acorus calamus! What are you doing?"
When Yinghua saw the person coming, she was a little surprised that someone was so ignorant. She didn't say much, and flew forward to hit Lianqiao, but her palm went down and missed.
What she had just hit was actually an illusion, and at this time several Lianqiao appeared around her.
"Acorus calamus, you don't even recognize me?!"
Lian Qiao was also surprised. After all, they had both practiced magic together, but she didn't expect Chang Pu to hit her without even saying a word. If Elder Fu Cang hadn't told her to be careful before she went on stage, she would not have thought of setting up magic in advance.
This is an illusion cast by the magic weapon Lian Qiao chose in Xuancang Cave - Mirror Flower and Water Moon. Among the many Lian Qiaos on the stage, only one is her real self, and the others are just illusions.
"It's me, Acorus! Don't you recognize me?"
Lian Qiao kept asking, which made Yinghuan look impatient.
"You little girl, you actually dare to play magic in front of me. You don't even know who I am!" As he said this, his eyes widened and he stretched out his hand to hit behind him.
She used all her strength in this palm strike. If Lian Qiao had not dodged quickly, she would have died on the martial arts stage. However, even though she avoided the vital points, she was still hit on the shoulder by Lian Qiao and was instantly knocked off the martial arts stage.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Lian Qiao felt his blood boiling. Ling Xiang quickly pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, sealed his vital points with silver needles, and took out a pill for him to take.
Seeing this scene, Taoist Xuantan on the Wangxian Terrace could no longer sit still. They had originally intended to exchange ideas and compete with each other, but they did not expect that Changpu not only spoke wildly, but also attacked and hurt people. Such excessive behavior was indeed abnormal!
Senior Brother Xuanhuai was right, this calamus must be a demon!
Taoist Xuantan was about to stand up when Taoist Qianyuan stopped him. Turning around, he saw that Taoist Xuantan and the other elders were all calm and composed, as if they did not care about the matter at all.
"Brother Dao, what do you mean? My disciple has already injured someone, why are you stopping me from teaching her a lesson?"
Taoist Qian Yuan patted Taoist Xuan Tan's hand, and said as if to comfort her: "Isn't the purpose of your trip for her? Although my disciple is injured, there are people in the audience who are treating him. I think he will be fine. Relax, sit down and wait and see."
Taoist Xuantan was shocked when he heard this. Although he had discussed coming to Yuanqing with Taoist Xuanhuai, he had never told anyone about it. Why did the elders of Yuanqing seem to know the inside story?
He was confused and puzzled, but seeing the expression on Master Qianyuan's face, he listened to his words and sat back down.
Everything seemed peaceful on the Wangxian Terrace, but there was an uproar around the Yanwu Stage. When the disciples of the Yuanqing School saw that Changpu had injured someone, they became unhappy.
Although many disciples did not interact closely with each other, they were still brothers after all. Now that they were bullied by foreign teachers, how could they just sit back and watch?
Although the disciples of Kunwu Sect also felt that Changpu had been a bit too heavy-handed, she was after all representing the Kunwu Sect on the martial arts stage. As the saying goes, fists and feet have no eyes, and it was normal to get injured on the stage. The Yuanqing Sect was so aggressive that they felt that they were deliberately making things difficult for the Kunwu Sect.
Just when everyone was arguing fiercely, a loud bang was suddenly heard.
"Stop arguing! How can you behave like this? It's a disgrace to the Taoist tradition!"
This sound immediately caused silence around the martial arts arena. The Yuanqing sect disciples kept silent because they saw Lingxiang speaking, while the Kunwu sect disciples kept silent because they were surprised.
I was surprised that a woman could have such a loud voice. It was really...
This is truly unheard of...
At this time, Banxia arrived. After Lingxiang checked Lianqiao's pulse and confirmed that Lianqiao was fine, she said a few words to Banxia, then turned to Yinghua on the martial arts stage and said:
"Since you are so confident in your skills, why don't you compete with me first?"
The Yuanqing sect disciples gasped when they heard this. This Elder Fu Cang actually wanted to compete with a foreign disciple. If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't they say that the Yuanqing sect was bullying the weak?
After hearing this, Liu Xia was about to rush to Lingxiang, but was stopped by Chengxin Zhenren. He was very confused and was about to ask, but he heard Mai Dong say, "She has her reasons for doing things. Others may not know, but don't you know it?"
After hearing this, Liu Xia thought about it and then stood back beside Master Chengxin as he said.
Based on his understanding of Lingxiang, she is indeed not an impulsive person. Since she said she wanted to compete with this woman, she must have her own calculations.
Yinghuan sneered as she watched Lingxiang walk slowly up the stairs to the martial arts stage like her. Although she was a little surprised why Lingxiang was here, she did not say anything and just acquiesced to the challenge.
This woman needs to be taught a lesson.
Thinking of this, Yinghuan was about to rush towards Lingxiang, but after taking only two steps, she found that she could not move, and the momentum made her fall to the ground.
Seeing this, the people watching the fight below the stage couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Those disciples immediately felt that Lingxiang was very powerful. Even later, they often told this matter to the new disciples, saying that she had a high level of cultivation and could scare her opponents to the ground with just a glance. Of course, this is a story for later, so let's not talk about it for now.
It is said that Yinghuan fell to the ground, but still could not move. She was surprised and cursed: "Little witch, what dirty tricks did you use on me! You actually plotted against me!"
"Witch?" Lingxiang smiled and walked forward, kicking Yinghua and flipping her over. "Since you've already called me a witch, if I don't do something, wouldn't I be unworthy of the name you gave me?"
As Lingxiang spoke, she pulled out a bamboo from somewhere behind her. The bamboo was emerald green and had a few bamboo leaves on it.
"Do you think that Yinqiao came on stage just now so that you could beat her up for nothing? As early as when she performed the magic, she had already set up a soul-locking talisman formation on the stage for me. Now I am the butcher and you are the meat, and you even dare to speak rudely to me!" As he said this, he raised the bamboo in his hand and hit Yinhuan hard.
After being hit, Yinghuan felt a sharp pain and couldn't help screaming, but Lingxiang didn't stop and hit her again with the stick. This time it hit her hand, and the place where it was hit immediately turned purple.
Lingxiang hit her eleven times in a row, causing Yinghuan to wail non-stop. Seeing this, the disciples of Kunwu Sect became furious and wanted to step forward to stop her.
At this moment, two figures blocked their way. They were none other than Xin Yi and Long Qi.
"If you want to save her, just watch carefully!" Long Qi shouted in a deep voice.
The Kunwu sect members were puzzled. It was obvious that Chang Pu on the stage had been beaten, so how could he be saving her? !
