"What?
Does Daoist Yi have a conflict with him? "Xu Shun's eyes carried a hint of playfulness as he asked with a fake smile.
"Don't ask too much about this, Brother Xu. After this is done, I will reward you generously." Yi Liya said with a smile.
"This is not impossible, but what is Li Feiyu's cultivation level?" Xu Shun nodded slightly and asked.
"When he participated in the Xuan Fights in Qingyang City, I was in seclusion and did not personally see him.
I only heard from others that this person only has around 40 opened Xuan Apertures, but his combat strength is not bad. "Yi Liya said.
"Around 40?
How can a mere 40 be qualified to participate in the Five Cities Martial Competition? Daoist Yi, are you trying to deceive me? "Xu Shun said with a doubtful expression.
"This person may have more than 40 Xuan Apertures, but it shouldn't be that many.
I think the reason why he can participate in the Five Cities Martial Competition is because of his personal relationship with the new city lord. It seems that this person was brought back by the new city lord. "Yi Liya explained.
"The one who usurped the throne, Chen Yang?
I see. If that's the case … I will help you. "Xu Shun nodded and said.
"Oh right, this person's cultivation method seems to specialize in opening his legs. He may have an advantage in terms of speed. You should be careful." Yi Liya reminded.
"Not to mention that he has over forty profound apertures, even if he had ten more profound apertures, it would still be impossible for him to be my opponent. Fellow Yi, you can be at ease. Now, we only need to discuss the remuneration …" Xu Shun chuckled as he spoke.
…
Fifteen minutes passed by quickly and the first Xuan Fight of the day finally began.
Han Li and Gu Qianxun did not look elsewhere. Even Du Long and Xuanyuan Xing came to the window near the "Kun" Stage and looked up.
On the "Kun" Stage, Tu Gang and Duan Tong had already entered. The two stood far away and sized each other up.
Tu Gang's expression was a little serious. There was a hint of fear in his expression, mixed with some hesitation and unwillingness.
Duan Tong did not have any expression on his face and did not show any contempt in his eyes. However, for some reason, Tu Gang felt that Duan Tong was not looking at him. A trace of anger rose in his heart.
A black-robed old man stood between the two of them as the referee of the First Profound Arena and said to them,
"There are no rules to the battles in the Xuandou Arena. If you are not a match for your opponent, you can admit defeat at any time.
If you persist, you will be responsible for your own life and death. "
Tu Gang and Duan Tong nodded at the same time, and the old man leaped out of the Profound Battle Ring.
The two on the stage cupped their fists at each other, and the Xuan Battle officially began.
On the high platform in the middle of the eight Mysterious Fighting Rings, the five city lords and Madam Liu Hua were chatting casually with each other. They did not seem to be too interested in the Mysterious Fighting Rings that were starting at the same time below. They would only occasionally look down.
On the "Kun" stage.
"Bang!" Tu Gang's entire body emitted continuous "bang" sounds. Light flowed on his arms and his profound orifices shone brightly. He actually took the initiative to attack Duan Tong.
With every step he took, the Xuandou Ring would rumble with great force.
Fortunately, the ground was reinforced by the Star Bone, so it did not crack from the tremendous force of the continuous stomps.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
After taking more than ten consecutive steps, the aura on his body soared several times. Under the sunlight, his right arm seemed to shine with a golden light. An invisible aura swirled around him, and his arm seemed to have become thicker. He smashed his fist towards Duan Tong.
Duan Tong only quietly watched Tu Gang approach step by step, without any movement. It was only when Tu Gang's fist smashed out that he slowly took a step back.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he punched out with the force of lightning.
As soon as he punched out, the profound orifices on his arm lit up at the same time, and the sound of wind and thunder exploded.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out!
The fists of the two collided, and an earth-shaking roar erupted.
A violent wave of air exploded from the point where the two fists collided, sweeping in the opposite direction.
Duan Tong's body did not move, and he stood firmly in place like a mountain. Tu Gang, on the other hand, let out a miserable cry. Several of the profound orifices on his arm exploded at the same time, and with a "ka ka" sound of bones breaking, his body flew out.
He fell out of the Xuandou Ring, and after rolling a few times, his eyes darkened, and he completely fainted.
On the side of the Xuandou Ring, there was suddenly a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
The people on the high platform could not help but stop chatting and look over.
"Fellow Fu, the strength of your Tong Yu City's Duan Tong seems to have improved again. How did he end the battle so quickly?" Ekai asked with a smile.
"It's just a small improvement. He is still far from your subordinate Fellow Zi Yuan," Fu Jian said.
"He defeated the enemy with one blow. Although the opponent was not strong enough, it was still amazing enough …" Qin Yuan said with a smile.
Everyone praised Duan Tong one after another. Only Chen Yang remained silent. Although his face was still calm, his hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly clenched. Because he was clenching them too hard, his knuckles were already slightly white.
In the passageway, the expressions of the Qingyang City cultivators were somewhat ugly. Although they were not the ones who lost, they had lost the first battle, and it was a complete defeat. It was inevitable that their morale would be affected, and they all shook their heads and sighed as they walked away. Only Han Li and Gu Qianxun remained where they were.
Looking at Tu Gang being carried away from the Xuandou Ring, Han Li said, "Fellow Gu, what do you think?"
"Compared to the time when he lost to me, he is already much stronger. Against Tu Gang's Great Strength Vajra Art, he did not even use his Xuan Tong Arms, but only his normal left arm. With just one punch, he defeated Tu Gang. Obviously, in his eyes, Tu Gang is not worthy of being his opponent," Gu Qianxun said with a frown.
"That's not entirely true. When he threw out that punch, he borrowed strength from his right arm. Otherwise, Tu Gang would not have lost so badly even though he had clearly used all his strength.
But overall, the gap between the two of them is still too big, "Han Li said after a short pause.
"Yes, if only he was a little stronger and could force Duan Tong to use more of his skills, that would be great." Gu Qianxun said with a hint of regret.
"Haha, don't think too much. We should also prepare, the second round of the competition is about to begin." Han Li laughed.
"Let's go." Gu Qianxun nodded and said.
… …
About fifteen minutes later.
The first round of the Xuandou Competition had come to an end. As expected, Sun Binghe was defeated and had to withdraw.
After that, there was a half an hour break to settle the bets for the first round. The curtains for the second round of the competition had also begun.
Almost half of the cultivators of Qingyang City were going to participate, including Han Li, Gu Qianxun, and Yi Liya.
Those who did not participate were basically watching the battle between Gu Qianxun and Yi Liya, including Du Long, who went to Gu Qianxun's side. In the passage near Han Li's "Xun" stage, there was no one else except for a few Xuandou cultivators from Opal City.
Li Feiyu's and Xu Shun's reputations weren't too conspicuous, so there weren't many spectators in the spectator stands nearby. Although it wasn't to the point where no one paid attention to them, it was still a far cry from the situation near the other Profound Fighting Arenas, which were practically full.
However, there was a familiar face on the stage. He sat upright and still with an expressionless face. It was Daoist Xie.
On the "Xun" stage, Han Li and Xu Shun were already in their positions, facing each other from afar.
A black-robed referee stood between the two of them and announced the official start of the competition after informing them of the rules.
However, neither Han Li nor Xu Shun made a move immediately. The two of them stood facing each other and seemed to be sizing each other up.
This scene caused the surrounding onlookers to cheer one after another.
Xu Shun examined Han Li from head to toe with an odd gaze. He saw that Han Li's appearance was quite ordinary and his aura was mediocre. He couldn't see anything special about him, but when he thought of the reward Yi Liya promised him, he unconsciously licked his lips.
Han Li could not help but sneer inwardly when he saw his reaction. Since you want to kill me, don't blame me for what I'm about to do.
Right at this moment, a light suddenly flashed under Xu Shun's feet. The mysterious apertures on the soles of his feet suddenly lit up and his entire body soared into the air as if he could fly with the wind. Then, he charged towards Han Li.
Borrowing the momentum from his fall, his speed was extremely fast and he soon arrived in front of Han Li.
He pulled his fist back to his waist and suddenly smashed it out when he was fully charged.
Han Li remained completely still on the spot upon seeing this, just like Duan Tong had done just moments ago.
However, just as Xu Shun's fist was about to hit Han Li, his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from where he stood.
Xu Shun's eyes suddenly widened and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Knowing that something was amiss, he did not stop his downward momentum. Instead, he exerted force again and his figure plummeted downwards in an attempt to quickly land on the ground and then turn around.
However, before the tip of his feet touched the ground, there was a sudden blur in front of him. Han Li's figure had already flashed before him and the mysterious apertures on his legs lit up at the same time. He raised his knee and struck it towards Xu Shun's chest.
"So fast …"
Xu Shun was startled, and he hurriedly moved his hands before his chest to block, yet he still felt a copious and enormous force charge over. His hands were unable to resist it, and they pulled back to collide with his chest, causing his body to curl up like a prawn as he flew out.
Immediately after, Han Li's mysterious apertures on his legs suddenly lit up and his figure was even faster than Xu Shun's flying speed. He instantly caught up to Xu Shun in mid-air, raised his fist and smashed it heavily towards Xu Shun's spine.
"Bang!" A loud sound was heard!
Xu Shun's figure directly fell to the ground, bounced three times on the ground and rolled out.
This series of changes seemed to take a long time, but in fact, it only took a few seconds, causing the audience in the stands to exclaim again and again.
On the high platform, there were occasionally people who noticed the changes here, but they just glanced at it and no longer paid attention.
After all, the number of mysterious apertures on these two people's bodies was too few. In their view, it was no different from a fight between children. No matter how fancy and varied the movements were, it was not worth too much attention.
Only Chen Yang paid more attention to this side. He did not show much worry on his face.
This time, Han Li did not continue to pursue but stayed far away. He transmitted his voice to Xu Shun and asked, "You and I have not interacted in the past. Why did you want to kill me as soon as we fought?"
