Chapter 428 Soul Duel
After hearing this, Xiao Ling nodded slightly, looking relaxed and casual. He flashed slightly and appeared in the red circle. The rest, Cao Ying and Dan Chen, also looked calm and walked straight into it.
Only Bai Ying and Qiu Ji looked a little ugly at this time. What's the point of competing? The opponent is so strong, wouldn't the two of them just go up and get beaten?
However, in order to save some last bit of face for the family, they naturally could not do such a thing as voluntarily giving up. If you really do that, you will definitely be criticized and punished by the elders in the family after this written test is over.
The two of them looked helpless and looked at each other, but they could only walk into the red circle bravely.
After everyone entered the red circle, the five people occupied the five positions of the red circle, and then they all sat down cross-legged. This competition is about soul power, not fighting spirit.
People who have reached this stage can use their soul power to leave the body and launch attacks, so they don't need to move their bodies, they just need to sit cross-legged.
However, this situation only applies to soul competition. If you are really standing still in a real battle like you are now, then if you wait for the opponent to use their fighting skills to get closer and directly attack your body, you will only get a beating.
The surrounding spectators were also nervously watching the five people in the red circle, looking forward to this exciting showdown.
Seeing that the five people were ready, Elder Sheng stepped back slowly, waved his palm suddenly, and shouted in a deep voice: "The assessment begins!"
As soon as Elder Sheng's shout fell, five soul powers, three strong and two weak, surged out from the bodies of the five people, occupying themselves in the five directions of the red circle.
The majestic and invisible soul power instantly enveloped the square, and the vast and heavy soul pressure made many people in the hall feel depressed.
This sense of depression comes from deep within the soul and has nothing to do with the strength of fighting spirit. This confrontation on the field is already a competition on another level...
The stalemate in the field only lasted for a moment. Cao Ying, who had a relatively strong personality, took the lead to attack boldly. The other four people, driven by the soul power that was the first to strike, also launched attacks at the same time.
The five invisible soul powers were like five invisible giant pythons, rushing out from five directions like lightning, and then colliding with each other chaotically in the middle area.
"Bang!"
Invisible soul fluctuations spread rapidly from the impact point, and gusts of wind took shape extremely suddenly, whizzing past in the mid-air of the hall, causing a series of whistling wind sounds to be heard throughout the hall.
This seemingly extremely fierce collision of souls was just a tentative move by Cao Ying, and its purpose was to clean up two stray fish by the way.
In Cao Ying's eyes, the only real opponents were Dan Chen and Xiao Ling. As for the other two, they were not worth mentioning at all.
This is indeed the case. In the red circle, Xiao Ling, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen barely moved under this intense bombardment. The Bai Ying and Qiu Ji were forcefully thrown away.
They were rolling in the air, like two fallen leaves blown up by the strong wind, looking extremely embarrassed. After flying out of the red circle, Bai Ying and Qiu Ji quickly mobilized their fighting spirit, and then they could barely stabilize their bodies. They rolled once or twice in the air before they were able to land firmly on the ground without ending up in an awkward situation.
Then, their eyes turned to the red circle again. Xiao Ling, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen were still sitting upright, with their bodies barely moving. Their expressions were calm, as if everything just now had nothing to do with them.
Bai Ying and Qiu Ji looked at them with dazed expressions, as if they couldn't believe the scene before them. There was a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, and they were deeply aware of the huge gap between themselves and these three people.
After looking at each other helplessly, both of them could see the bitterness and frustration in each other's eyes. Facing Xiao Ling, Cao Ying and Dan Chen, they couldn't even withstand a single blow.
After bowing to Elder Sheng, Bai Ying and Qiu Ji silently retreated to the side. The two of them are also the proud ones in their respective families, but unfortunately they seem so insignificant now. This competition has nothing to do with them at all.
In the red circle, Cao Ying's slightly cold face showed a beautiful smile. She looked at Xiao Ling, who had a casual look on his face, and then at Dan Chen, who had a downcast and rather timid look. She turned her eyes slightly and said,
"Sister Danchen, we have all seen how powerful Master Xiao Ling's soul power is before. If you and I fight against it alone, I'm afraid our chances of winning are slim. Why don't the two of us join forces first? Maybe there is a chance."
"If we can really eliminate Master Xiao Ling with our strength, then, as the leader of this competition, it will be up to you and me to compete again and decide the final winner, how about that?"
Dan Chen, who was not far away, was slightly stunned at first after hearing Cao Ying's words. Then he glanced at Xiao Ling who was looking calm, his mind changed slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he had an idea.
Immediately, she turned sideways to look at Cao Ying and nodded to her, obviously agreeing with the proposal.
Normally, Dan Chen and Cao Ying are in a state of competition with each other. As the two most outstanding alchemists of the younger generation of Danta, they also belong to two of the five major families under Danta. They represent the appearance of the younger generation of the Cao family and the Dan family. Naturally, they want to differentiate between them. , but there are currently no particularly obvious results.
And now the two of them have to face Xiao Ling, an eighth-level alchemist who has already gained fame. Dan Chen naturally knows that with his current ability, he will definitely not be able to deal with Xiao Ling and Cao Ying alone.
Joining forces with Cao Ying may be the only way to defeat Xiao Ling, so she agreed to this proposal.
When Cao Ying saw Dan Chen agreeing, a smile appeared on her face as if her plan had succeeded, and then she turned her attention to Xiao Ling, who was looking at the two of them with a half-smile.
Immediately, Cao Ying opened her red lips lightly and said: "Master Xiao Ling, the previous testing ends here. However, we also know that there is a high probability that we alone will not be your opponent, so the next two of us will We plan to join forces temporarily, you... won't mind, right?"
"Haha, are you afraid of you two little girls? Just let it go! If you can let me move even a little bit, I will give up directly in this competition. However, if I don't control the strength by then, I will be injured. When it comes to you, just don’t blame me.”
Xiao Ling met Cao Ying's eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showed a faint smile, and said casually.
His face was full of casualness, as if he didn't care about Cao Ying's cooperation at all.
After hearing Xiao Ling's words that he didn't take the two of them seriously, Dan Chen's originally weak eyes instantly became firm. She has her own plan. Even if she really can't win against Xiao Ling this time, she still has to show her own style.
Cao Ying slowly raised her jade-like hand, which was like mutton-fat white jade, and gently smoothed a strand of black and bright blue hair scattered on her forehead. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, outlining a very charming and moving arc.
Then, she opened her red lips and said softly,
"I will return these words to you intact, Xiao Ling. I have to admit that among the three people present, your soul power is indeed far superior to that of sister Danchen and I. Your control over the soul has also reached The level of perfection."
"However, only my Danta has the most complete inheritance of this soul attack and killing technique. In this regard, you do not have an advantage..."
After Xiao Ling heard this, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curved into a smile that was not a smile. What Cao Ying said is indeed true. Today, there are very few forces in Dou Qi Continent that have a collection of soul fighting skills, and Danta must be one of the best, and it must have a lot of soul fighting skills in its collection.
However, in terms of soul attack methods, Xiao Ling is absolutely unrivaled in Dou Qi Continent.
Although Xiao Ling has not yet practiced the path of Talisman Master and truly become a Talisman Master, he has a rich collection and knowledge of the spirit of the ancestor, and relies on his current soul power to display some exquisite mystical skills that are not particularly high quality. , and it’s not particularly difficult.
Relying on Xiao Ling's own perfect soul power, it is simply a simple matter to use some spiritual skills to deal with Cao Ying and Dan Chen.
"I hope you can also show some real skills, but don't make this competition too boring." Xiao Ling looked at Cao Ying and Dan Chen calmly with a faint smile on his lips, revealing in his words Showing a hint of expectation and provocation.
"Since Xiao Ling has said so, I will naturally not be polite to you anymore. Let's just see the real chapter..."
As Cao Ying spoke, the slightly charming expression on her face gradually faded, and her eyes became serious. At the same time, her hands immediately began to move, forming some complex and mysterious handprints.
When Cao Ying took action, Dan Chen, who was sitting on the other side of the red circle with horns, had no extra words. His slender jade-white hands began to quickly form complex handprints one after another.
As the two women's handprints quickly formed, the majestic soul power surrounding them suddenly condensed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, each turned into a soul phoenix.
The wings of the phoenix flapped, and the space distorted sharply, and there were even faint cracks in the dark space spreading.
Although the soul phoenix is an invisible thing, the pervasive pressure caused many people in the hall to fix their solemn gazes on the void in front of Cao Ying and Dan Chen...
"go!"
Cao Yingyu gently pointed her finger into the void, and in an instant, a clear and clear sound of phoenixes suddenly resounded throughout the hall.
At the same time, as if receiving the order, the soul phoenix flapped its wings suddenly, instantly bringing up a violent gust of wind, carrying endless power, and rushed towards Xiao Ling's location.
On the other side, Dan Chen also pointed her finger at the void point. The soul phoenix she summoned was also under her control. The soul phoenix closely followed Cao Ying, and its momentum did not diminish at all, moving towards Xiao. Ling launched a swift attack in his direction.
Looking at the two soul phoenixes swooping towards him with great momentum, Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of interest on his face.
Just looking at these two phoenixes with such similar appearances and feeling the soul fluctuations emanating from them, Xiao Ling could tell at a glance that Dan Chen and Cao Ying used the same soul fighting skill.
But think about it, after all, both of them are the best among the younger generation of Danta, and they are both core members of Danta, so the soul fighting skills they have practiced are naturally similar.
Facing the two menacing soul phoenixes, Xiao Ling raised a slight smile on his lips, but his expression remained calm, and the light flickered faintly in his eyes.
He didn't move, but his hands quickly formed seals, and the power of his soul rushed out of his body like a surging torrent.
In an instant, the light was bright, and a sky demon marten condensed by Xiao Ling's soul power slowly condensed in this strange light. It was seen that its fur was black and shiny, with a hint of mysterious luster. Its body was extremely agile, and every line seemed to be carefully carved, extremely lifelike.
In its narrow eyes, a touch of smart and cunning look flashed faintly, as if it had locked onto its prey.
Under Xiao Ling's control, the sky demon marten immediately raised its head and let out a sharp cry, shaking the air slightly, and then it rushed towards the two soul phoenixes that were rushing towards it like an arrow from a bow.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In the center of the circle, almost in an instant, a slender Heavenly Demon Marten collided fiercely with two phoenixes.
The strong soul fluctuations spread around like a surging wave, and the whole space seemed to be trembling slightly.
The Heavenly Demon Marten suddenly stretched out its forelimbs, and its extremely sharp claws swung quickly, leaving shocking wounds on the bodies of the two phoenixes.
With a series of slight explosions, the fluffy soul feathers broke apart and fell from the air.
The two soul phoenixes, which were obviously quite petite and had weaker momentum, were not afraid at this moment. They vaguely united and attacked the Heavenly Demon Marten from the left and right.
The sharp phoenix claws were like sharp blades, and the long and sharp beak was like a sharp spear, constantly trying to tear the body of the Heavenly Demon Marten.
However, compared with the Heavenly Demon Marten's attack on the two of them, the phoenix's attack seemed to have little effect.
The Heavenly Demon Marten is extremely flexible. It quickly dodges the attacks of the phoenixes and launches swift counterattacks from time to time.
Its speed is as fast as black lightning. It shuttles back and forth between the two phoenixes, making people dazzled and difficult to catch its shape.
Although the soul phoenix fought hard, it gradually seemed a little powerless under the powerful offensive of the Heavenly Demon Marten.
The Heavenly Demon Marten fought with the two phoenixes. The three magic beasts condensed by the soul power let go and killed here. The claws tore the space, leaving a dark trace.
The terrifying soul power covered here, forming a special domain field, where fighting spirit does not exist, only soul power is rampant.
This is already another domain, a domain that is no less inferior to fighting spirit, and it has fallen down long ago, the soul power.
The Heavenly Demon Marten fought fiercely with the two phoenixes. The three magic beasts condensed by the soul power fought here to their heart's content. Their claws seemed to be indestructible. Every swing could tear the space, leaving a dark trace, which made people terrified.
The terrifying soul power covered here like a tide, forming a special domain. In this domain, Dou Qi disappeared, only soul power was raging wildly.
This seemed to be another mysterious domain, a domain that was no less inferior to Dou Qi and had fallen long ago, the domain of soul power.
In this era of Dou Qi, the only people who still mastered the cultivation of soul power and the art of attack and killing, except for those ancient families and very few individual cases, were probably the alchemists in Danta.
The vast soul pressure covered the entire hall like a thick layer of dark clouds. This feeling of fear, fear and depression from the depths of the soul still could not stop the enthusiasm of the spectators.
Their eyes were fixed on the fierce battle in the field, and their hearts were full of expectations and excitement.
Even though they felt a little uncomfortable, the representatives of various forces still stretched their necks, widened their eyes, and focused on the battle scene in the red circle in the field that was different from Dou Qi.
Among the five families, Cao Dan, Cao Xiu, Dan Xuan, Ye Xinlan, and Bai Ying and Qiu Ji, who had been eliminated, also stared with wide eyes, watching the peak battle of the younger generation of alchemists.
Bai Ying and Qiu Ji looked even more dazed, and they were lucky to be eliminated in advance. They knew very well that the battle in the field was not something they could intervene in.
Looking at the criss-crossing black cracks, even ordinary Dou Zong masters would have to survive in such an environment.
Xiao Ling was still sitting cross-legged in the same place, with one hand supporting his chin, and his posture was very casual. His eyes were fixed on the battlefield in front of him, but there was a bit of laziness in his eyes. Obviously, Xiao Ling was not serious at all.
Compared with Xiao Ling's calm demeanor, Cao Ying and Dan Chen looked a little pale at this time, and there were a few drops of sweat on their foreheads. They seemed to be struggling to control the phoenix.
The two phoenixes gradually found it more and more difficult to fight against the Heavenly Demon Marten. They could only keep changing their hand seals to try to save the situation, but they seemed powerless.
This soul attack contest was only a matter of a moment. Although the two phoenixes had the advantage in numbers, they were already at a disadvantage in front of the Heavenly Demon Marten summoned by Xiao Ling as soon as they started fighting.
Now, the two phoenixes have reached the end of their rope. Their bodies looked a little embarrassed under the attack of the Heavenly Demon Marten, and their soul power gradually weakened. The Heavenly Demon Marten was still majestic and imposing... (End of this chapter)
