Chapter 209: Dark Blade Slash vs. Sand Falls Funeral
Chapter 209: Dark Blade Slash vs. Sand Falls Funeral
In the afternoon, all eight arenas in the original venue had been moved away, and a new large arena was rebuilt on the open space in the center.
At this moment on the stage, a Tujia high priest who also served as the master of ceremonies was chanting something loudly. On the hills on both sides, the Tujia people who came to watch were kneeling on the ground to pray.
Soon, the final of the Saint Selection will begin, and the new Saint of the Tujia clan will be born from the remaining two contestants.
At both ends of the arena, Shen Chan and Qi Muhong have already taken their positions, waiting for the priest to finish the sacrificial ceremony before they go on stage to compete.
At the elders' table, the second elder Qi Yanshan and the third elder Shen Huai also had solemn expressions, both trying to hide their inner nervousness.
Especially the third elder Shen Huai. After tracking down Long Congyun for several days without any results, he gradually gave up the idea of the Qi Ling Grass. At this moment, the most important thing for him is that Shen Chan can win the position of the Saint.
Of course, if Shen Chan failed, Shen Huai would have no "sympathy" for a loser and would definitely find a way to continue to dig out the trace of Long Congyun from her.
What he didn't know was that the "Long Congyun" he was looking for was being watched by two contestants who were about to participate in the competition.
In a face-to-face exchange yesterday, Qi Muhong had already recognized his new identity, and even at this moment, Qi Muhong gave Yang Qing a weird smile.
Although Shen Chan knew that Yang Qing had changed his appearance, she had never seen Yang Qing's true appearance. But at this moment, the little black cat at Yang Qing's feet "betrayed" him at the right time.
On the stage, as the high priest finished chanting, the current saint Qi Liu slowly walked onto the stage, took off a dark gold necklace from her neck, and handed it to the priest.
As the necklace left Qi Liu's neck, it quickly collapsed and gathered into a dark golden ball.
This is the sacred object of the Tujia people - Xirang.
After the game is over, this holy object will be handed over to the new saint for safekeeping.
Afterwards, the priest took the Xirang carefully with a solemn expression, and began to chant a dry and difficult to understand hymn after taking it.
The general meaning may be to pray to God to bless the Tujia people with prosperity.
After the hymn ended, the priest slowly raised the soil above his head.
At the same time, the Xirang began to emit golden light.
When the Tujia people on the hills on both sides saw this scene, they all rejoiced.
As the sacrificial ceremony ended, the high priest carefully placed the soil of life into a jade vessel.
At this moment, the finals for the new Saint are about to begin.
Qi Muhong walked slowly onto the stage, his eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement, even the fingers of his hands were trembling.
And the look he gave Shen Chan was as if he was looking at prey.
As the horn signaling the start of the match sounded, Qi Muhong waved his hands and a huge mud centipede crawled out from the ground of the ring.
Its scale was several times larger than the one summoned before. Then its sharp centipede legs began to slash towards Shen Chan rhythmically.
As the centipede's foot chopped, a series of sword auras slashed towards Shen Chan with powerful sounds of breaking through the air.
"drink!"
Faced with such a powerful attack, Shen Chan did not dare to be careless this time. He simply raised his hand and gathered sand into a shield to block in front of himself.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The sword energy chopped on the sand shield, and the effect was like an axe chopping a tree stump. Every strike caused a large amount of sand to splash.
Moreover, Qi Muhong's slashing speed was very fast. In almost an instant, the sand shield that Shen Chan had gathered was broken through.
Fortunately, Shen Chan's speed was not slow. He made a gesture and a new sand shield was cast again. He then continued to build new sand shields to block the opponent's attacks.
In an instant, the entire arena turned into a battle between offense and defense.
Below the ring, Bai Yaning and Liu Runan's faces were filled with horror. They had both fought with Shen Chan before and knew too well how terrifying Shen Chan's gravel defense was.
But at this moment, Shen Chan was beaten so badly by his opponent that he could only defend himself.
"Grandpa, I don't quite understand!"
Bai Yaning, who was standing next to the great elder at this moment, seemed to have discovered something and suddenly asked.
"What's the matter? If there's anything you don't understand, tell me."
The Great Elder's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were still looking at the arena.
"Then why is it that Qi Muhong is clearly using earth-based Taoism and summoning a centipede made of mud, but his attack method is a sword energy composed of sword energy?
Could it be that he is practicing the Golden Dao, and the so-called Earth Centipede is just a cover?"
Bai Yaning's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the other elders in the elders' seat to hear.
When these words were spoken, everyone in the elders' seats was stunned, and then most people began to think about it.
These words made Qi Liu and Qi Yanshan on the side look very ugly.
Bai Yaning's words were a bit hurtful.
In a competition to select the saint of the Tujia clan, the contestants did not use earth-based Taoism. This itself is unreasonable.
"Maybe she had another adventure, but this doesn't prove that Qi Muhong didn't use earth-based Taoism. Let's wait and see the game."
The great elder Bai Hongfei suppressed this question.
There is a competition going on in the ring at the moment. No matter if you have any questions, you have to wait until the results are out.
On the ring, the mud centipede controlled by Qi Muhong was waving its legs frantically, constantly creating sword energy to chop the gravel shield created by Shen Chan.
Wherever the sword energy went, sand and gravel splashed everywhere, as if it had the power to cut through everything.
This made everyone in the audience think that Shen Chan's defeat was only a matter of time.
Even when her true energy is exhausted and she is no longer able to control the sand, that will be the time of her death.
But what everyone didn’t know was that at this moment in Shen Chan’s mind, the Di Tu Raccoon was howling excitedly.
It has turned into a talisman tattoo and is flashing on Shen Chan's arm.
"Hey, girl Shen Chan, take action now!
According to the plan we made before, let this so-called demon star Huiren also have a taste of my Di Tu He's power!"
"Okay!" Upon hearing this, a hint of tenacity flashed in Shen Chan's eyes.
Feeling the surging power coming from his arms, Shen Chan stretched out his hands forward.
In an instant, the thick earth-based Taoism on his body suddenly burst out, and the surrounding soil also rose up in an instant according to Shen Chan's will, like a sand tide, rushing towards Qi Muhong.
The tide was three feet high and dark clouds covered the sky.
At this moment, Qi Muhong controlled the mud centipede to chop towards Shen Chan with a sword force that really felt like it was chopping on the waves.
In an instant, Qi Muhong and the mud centipede he summoned were buried by the "waves" composed of sand.
Then Shen Chan clenched his hands, and the "waves" compressed and gathered into "sand dunes", ready to crush Qi Muhong who was trapped in it.
Yang Qing, who was far away, saw this scene and felt that it was just like the Sand Falls Funeral in his memory.
This sudden reversal also caused the audience to be shocked.
Even Shen Huai no longer cared about his status and cheered with clenched fists.
At the age of nearly a hundred, he could still do such an inappropriate thing, which shows how excited he was about Shen Chan's trick.
However, before Shen Huai could get excited for long, he saw several cracks appearing in the "sand dune" that buried Qi Muhong, and sword energy continued to emerge from it and rushed straight towards Shen Chan.
This is Qi Muhong's counterattack.
It seems that Qi Muhong, who was trapped inside, did not surrender and even had the ability to fight back.
