Chapter 1226

Seeing this, Elder Zhao was shocked. As he retreated, the spear in his hand shone with white light, stirring the void in front of him.

Countless spear shadows appeared in front of him, and in an instant, a blizzard raged in the air, causing the temperature to plummet. A vortex of frost formed from snowflakes appeared and swept toward Han Li, as if trying to drown him in it.

Han Li had no intention of stopping. He rushed forward, his arm shrouded in white light instantly rushing into the whirlpool of ice and snow, blooming with dazzling light.

Bang! A strange sound rang out!

The huge whirlpool of ice and snow collapsed, and Han Li's figure rushed through it.

The power of the stars on his fist did not diminish much, and it smashed into Elder Zhao's chest.

The expected muffled sound of bones breaking did not appear. Han Li only felt as if he had smashed into a ball of cotton, and his fist went straight through Elder Zhao's chest.

The next moment, water splashed out from Elder Zhao's chest, and a large hole was opened, from which a large amount of water flowed out.

Han Li frowned and wanted to pull his arm back, but the water in the hole immediately wrapped around his arm, and a powerful tearing force came from it, making it impossible for him to pull it back.

Then, with his chest broken, the whole body of Elder Zhao suddenly liquefied, turning into a transparent water man. His soft and boneless body wrapped around Zhou Donghuang's body, like a layer of gelatin, firmly imprisoning him in place.

At the same time, on the other side of the ice, a blue light flashed, and the figure of another Elder Zhao reappeared.

"So it turns out that the one I've been fighting against is a Realm Spirit. That's a bit unexpected," Han Li murmured.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Chang, I'm sorry, but you're going to be eliminated." After saying this, Elder Zhao suddenly waved his hands.

The snowflake patterns that appeared on the surrounding Realm Spirit suddenly expanded, and countless snowflake blades flew out from them, rushing towards Han Li. The entire martial arts arena was suddenly filled with howling winds, and the arena was completely covered by ice and snow, making it difficult to see anything.

On the ring-shaped stone platform, Zhou Xianyang was extremely shocked while Zhao Yuanlai, who was beside him, had a complacent expression. As for the others, apart from paying attention to the participants from their own factions, most of them were watching Sikong Jian's battle.

"Sect Leader Zhou, ai. Since we're competing on the same stage, there has to be a winner and a loser. I'm really sorry to have offended you this time." Zhao Yuanlai said to Zhou Xianyang.

"That shouldn't be the case … Could it be that this person only has this much strength?" Zhou Xianyang was extremely puzzled as he muttered to himself.

Without waiting for his voice to fade, a bright white light suddenly lit up on the entire 'Si' stage, turning into a huge white vortex of light that exploded with a loud bang.

The Ice Spirit Domain that enveloped the Martial Arts Practice Arena crumbled as well, and a great deal of wind and snow howled out, sweeping wildly in all directions.

The surrounding people only felt the wind and snow blow against their faces, and the temperature of the world dropped rapidly. Those with slightly weaker cultivations were already trembling all over, their teeth chattering uncontrollably as they hurriedly activated their cultivation methods to protect their bodies.

When the wind and snow dissipated, everyone could not help but look at the 'Si' stage. They saw that Elder Zhao had already fainted on the ground, and Chang Qi of the Prominent Mountain Sect was still standing beside him.

However, at this time, his face looked slightly pale, his lips were slightly purple, and his sleeves were torn. It seemed that he had also won a pyrrhic victory.

Seeing this, Zhou Xianyang finally let out a sigh of relief. When he turned his head to look at Zhao Yuanlai, he found that the latter's face was ashen, and he no longer had the arrogant look of a villain intoxicated by success.

"Since we're competing on the same stage, it's inevitable that there will be a winner and a loser. This time, Junior Brother Chang was lucky. If I offend you, I offend you …" Zhou Xianyang cupped his hands slightly and said with a smile.

The corner of Zhao Yuanlai's mouth twitched a few times. In the end, he did not speak, and only nodded.

Just as everyone was surprised at how the winner of the 'Si' stage had suddenly been decided, the winner of the 'Wu' stage on the other side had already been decided. The person who had fought against Si Kongjian had half his body smashed, and was directly kicked off the Martial Arts Practice Arena.

Separated by hundreds of feet, Si Kongjian and Han Li looked at each other from a distance, eyes full of provocation.

At this time, Han Li seemed to be in tatters, but in reality, it was just an act. At this moment, when he looked at Si Kongjian, a cold light flashed through his eyes, which made Si Kongjian very surprised, and he could not help but frown.

Not long after, the winners and losers of the other Martial Arts Arenas were also decided, and new battles began to unfold.

Han Li's battle for the day had come to an end, and the second round would only begin the next day. He did not return to the circular stone stage, but directly returned to the Prominent Mountain Courtyard.

When he returned to his residence, he immediately opened the Flower Branch Heaven and went in to check.

The Weeping Soul was still helping Lan Yuanzi to nurture his soul, and Qu Lin seemed to be in seclusion. He also kept his promise with Han Li, and did not take a step out of the bamboo building next to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

A day later.

The second round of battles began again, and after drawing lots, Han Li drew the disciplinary elder of the Wushang Sect, Chu Zhong.

The Prominent Mountain Sect could not gather much information about this person, because as the disciplinary elder of the Wushang Sect, he rarely had the opportunity to go down the mountain and show his cultivation base. Basically, he had always been cultivating in the Wushang Sect.

Han Li only knew that this person cultivated the power of the Laws of Earth, and his cultivation base was a level higher than Elder Zhao's. He was an early-stage Grand Luo cultivator.

After the hosting elder announced the results of the battles, Han Li walked up to the Martial Arts Practice Arena with the word 'Ugly', and Elder Chu Zhong was a little later than him, and landed on the opposite side.

Han Li glanced at this person, and saw that this person had snow-white hair, a dark complexion, and an ordinary figure, even slightly shorter than an ordinary person. He wore a short shirt, and his sleeves were rolled up, revealing a section of his dark arms. He looked no different from the martial arts of the Jianghu at the foot of the mountain.

His standing posture was very special. His back was slightly arched, and his arms hung in front of him. When people looked at him, they felt like they were looking at an old ape in the mountains, and he seemed rather lethargic.

However, Han Li noticed that there was a faint golden luster in his eyes. He looked like a withered tree on the outside, but his body was complete on the inside, and Han Li had a higher opinion of this person.

On the ring-shaped stone platform, Zhou Xianyang was still sitting in his original position, and Zhao Yuanlai, who had already lost the chance to compete for the Bodhi Token, was still sitting beside him. Both of their expressions were normal, as if they did not mind what happened yesterday.

"Sect Leader Zhou, do you know this Elder Chu Zhong?" Zhao Yuanlai looked at the old man on the martial arts practice arena and asked.

"The Wushang Sect has never had any contact with the Prominent Mountain Sect, and this Elder Chu Zhong rarely leaves the mountain. I have only heard of his name, and do not know him.

From Mountain Lord Zhao's words, you know this person? "Zhou Xianyang asked.

"We met once in the past, but we did not get along well. Hehe … he is not easy to deal with.

In my opinion, of all the candidates in this selection competition, other than Si Kongjian, he is the most difficult to deal with, "Zhao Yuanlai said.

Hearing this, Zhou Xianyang laughed inside. Only now did he know that Zhao Yuanlai was planning on watching their Prominent Mountain Sect have a good show today.

"Then Junior Apprentice Brother Chang's luck is really bad. Yesterday, he was lucky to win against your sect's Elder Zhao, and today, he has encountered such a difficult person to deal with. It looks like he has to be more serious," Zhou Xianyang said without changing his expression.

The meaning behind his words was that Han Li had not been serious in the battle yesterday, and had just casually won against Elder Zhao.

Zhao Yuanlai heard this and was very angry, but he could not show it. His face was slightly red, and he said after a while, "Then let's wait and see Fellow Daoist Chang's spectacular performance."

In reality, when he returned yesterday, he had asked Elder Zhao why he had lost to Chang Qi. He had originally thought that Chang Qi had hidden some trump card or used some dishonorable method.

But after a series of questions, even Elder Zhao himself was unable to explain how he had lost. He only said that "Chang Qi" had suddenly erupted with a powerful force that far exceeded the limits of what he could withstand, and that he had been knocked unconscious with a single punch.

As the two of them spoke, the battle on the stage had already begun.

After Han Li bowed to Chu Zhong, he did not attack after the other like he did yesterday. Instead, he attacked first. His arms shook, and there was a loud bang around his body. His figure flashed behind the white-haired old man.

He punched out, and white light exploded from his fist. The sound was like thunder.

Zhao Yuanlai, who had been thinking of watching the show, was shocked when he saw this scene.

Such speed, such power, was not something that had been displayed yesterday.

Chu Zhong also seemed to be shocked by Han Li's sudden attack. For a moment, he froze in place, not moving at all.

However, just as Han Li's fist was about to hit his back, a black light suddenly rose from the ground, and a black stone wall suddenly rose from the ground. At the same time, it blocked Han Li's attack and hit his arm.

This timing was very clever. He did not use the stone wall to block Han Li, but at the same time, hit Han Li's armpit with the stone wall, killing two birds with one stone.

Han Li's punch missed, and he was knocked into the air by the stone wall. Before he could stabilize himself, Chu Zhong's figure had already caught up to him, and his fist smashed down on Han Li's back.

His fist was covered in a circle of black light, and the moment it hit Han Li's back, it suddenly exploded.

Han Li felt the void behind him suddenly condense, and an extremely heavy force pressed down, causing his body to fall and crash heavily on the martial arts training ground.

The martial arts training ground, which was supported by a special formation, shook violently. Han Li's feet were like steel knives inserted into the ground, and a shocking crack immediately appeared on the stone platform.

Next, Chu Zhong, who looked like an old ape, rose high and smashed directly at Han Li with the power of Mount Tai.

He bent his legs slightly, and his entire body was covered in a layer of strange black light.

Han Li's heart jolted upon seeing this, and he felt as if the space above him had congealed as one, upon which an indescribable sense of pressure descended upon him. The space around him seemed to have been congealed, making it extremely difficult for him to move, and there was no way he could evade this attack.

"Ha …"

Han Li let out a loud shout, and more than nine hundred mysterious acupoints on his body lit up at the same time. He suddenly raised his arms, and used the Vajra Strength to circulate the power of the stars in his body. His palms formed a momentum that supported the sky, and he lifted them up.

The white light in his palms surged, as if it was holding up a starry light curtain, and it collided with the falling Chu Zhong.

The black and white light suddenly exploded in the line where they converged.

The surrounding heaven and earth shook violently, and billowing airwaves swept in all directions.

The onlookers were shocked by the sudden attack, and they looked over, only to see that there was only black and white light left on the "Chou" stage. The figures of both parties were also submerged in the light, and no one could see them clearly.
