"Third place, please go ahead"
"Chen Mo forms his fists with both hands, and in a casual tone, he says something. As soon as the words sound, one person cannot help but sit down."
Zhang Hanyan
He is from the Town Martial Arts Bureau, a outsider to this martial arts competition. Whether it's the external school of Fan Sha Temple or the suddenly appearing Chen Mo, they are all specially called by the Miao Mountain School to act as sacrificial lambs.
In Zhang Han's view, the one-on-three match is clearly a setup by the Miao Mountain School specifically for him. It must be that the Miao Mountain School feels that he is too strong and even a decisive round match cannot defeat him, so they have arranged this kind of show.
The purpose is simple: using Chen Mo's one-on-three as bait to make him misinterpret that the remaining Han Shanhe, Shi Ao, are his teammates. Subsequently, he is left alone to deal with the former one, while the remaining two will launch a surprise attack from behind him.
Faced with such cunning tactics, he didn't take it to heart. As long as he could defeat Chen Mo within three moves, the remaining two would not be able to launch a surprise attack on him in the eyes of everyone present.
"Hahaha, you want to scheme against me Zhang Han, you people are still too young. I'll take care of that guy first... since it's an order from the Grandmaster to kill this person, I won't hold back. Die!"
Zhang Han is a rare talent in the Town Martial Arts Bureau, mastering various blade techniques. It goes without saying that Gao Tianlang's expertise in Meteor Blade Technique is also within his grasp.
In several breaths, an countless number of blade flashes burst forth, and the terrifying blade aura, more fearsome than that of Gao Tianlang, rained down on Chen Mo in a dense array like a meteor shower.
"Meteor Blade Technique?"
"It's truly fitting that Zhang Han is the rare genius of the Town Martial Arts Bureau for over a hundred years. Even Gao Tianlang's most proficient Meteor Blade Technique is not as good as his."
"With such intense attacks, even a fifth-grade warrior would have a hard time retreating unscathed. I wonder if Chen Sanzang can withstand them."
"No, not only the Meteor Blade Technique, look, it's the Sky-Cutting Blade."
...
Just as the crowd was discussing in confusion, Zhang Han's figure appeared like a phantom, chasing after those several blade flashes, and once again wielding a knife.
Sky-Cutting Blade
Zhang Han's signature skill, it is said that this blade technique was created by the dual champions of the Town Martial Arts Bureau, Pei Jiangnan. With a single slash, it can cut through the sky, hence the name Sky-Cutting Blade.
Using the Meteor Blade Technique as bait, the Sky-Cutting Blade as the main attack, Zhang Han had already prepared for a decisive move. The dense blade aura from the Meteor Blade Technique can injure Chen Mo severely even if he can block it. At that time, the Sky-Cutting Blade would become the key to kill him.
Such a meticulous attack strategy even shocked Han Shanhe standing behind Zhang Han. If he had encountered such tactics, he might have already been defeated.
That's why the elders in the sect have repeatedly urged other high-level cultivators to consume Zhang Han's strength. If Han Shanhe encountered the former in full form, he might not even have the chance to make a move.
Not only Han Shanhe, but also Shi Ao, and the numerous elders from the Miao Mountain School who were seated in the main hall were shocked by Zhang Han's attack.
"This young man's blade technique is truly extraordinary. No wonder he is hailed as a talent that comes along every hundred years in the Town Martial Arts Bureau."
"If Han Shanhe encountered the former in full form, our Miao Mountain School will definitely be defeated."
"I just hope that Chen Sanzang can step up and wear him down for a bit, giving Han Shanhe a chance to win."
...
Li Wang took a deep breath, feeling somewhat relieved in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't say too much. After Chen Mo's defeat, Han Shanhe could still fight. Otherwise, the position of the direct disciple would certainly belong to Zhang Han.
"The blade technique is quite good."
Just as those several blade flashes were approaching Zhang Han, Chen Mo casually said a sentence, but on the surface, it appeared calm.
Zhang Han's brows were furrowed. He seemed so calm, but he already had a plan in place, or was he pretending to be calm?
Just as Zhang Han was curious, Chen Mo moved. With a fierce punch, his fists created a terrifying storm, pushing back the incoming blade flashes from all directions. Then he unleashed a powerful punch.
Heavenly Phenomenon Fist
This is what he learned from the cultivation method he had copied. Although it cannot be said to be top-notch, this fist technique is highly compatible with the special properties of a Qi warrior.
One punch launched, the punch shadow immediately appeared, and the punch wind followed closely. As Zhang Han, who was trying to defeat Chen Mo with a Sky-Cutting Blade and hoped to do so in one go, failed to strike his target, he was pushed back and flew backward. His Yanying Knife broke right in his hand, blood mist spreading into the air.
Just like Gao Tianlang from yesterday, he flew out, and then it was the turn of the Commandant to leap up and catch him.
"……"
Commandant Zhang stared at the unconscious Zhang Han, his expression complicated.
Commandant Liu helplessly shook his head, "It seems that this time the Miao Mountain School has found a promising talent. We can't win the position of the direct disciple of our Town Martial Arts Bureau... Let's go. With that elder there, we can't kill him."
"That's all for now."
Commandant Zhang carried Zhang Han, taking quick steps away from the Wufeng.
"Now, it's between you two."
Chen Mo raised his head and laughed lightly, looking at the stunned Shi Ao and Han Shanhe.
Shi Ao gripped his sword hilt, pondered for a moment, and said, "The attack just now was very strong. His qi and blood must have been consumed quite a bit. With the two of us teaming up, we may be able to hold out until his qi and blood are depleted."
Han Shanhe nodded slightly, speaking seriously, "Brother Shi, your words resonate with me. We must join forces and definitely take him down."
Han Shanhe is the internally selected candidate for the direct disciple position. As long as he can defeat Chen Mo, he will definitely secure the position of the direct disciple.
However, the ideal is full of hope, while reality is harsh.
Although the two fought together with strength, they were all knocked flying one after another before Chen Mo's qi and blood were depleted.
After the fierce battle just now, Chen Mo heaved a big sigh of relief. His qi and blood were almost depleted. Although the Heavenly Phenomenon Fist was powerful, it also consumed qi and blood quickly.
"I'm glad I wasn't held back by them."
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, just congratulating himself that his qi and blood hadn't been completely consumed. But then he suddenly felt a sensation in his arm. The blood-red caterpillar from last night appeared out of nowhere.
He was taken aback, his heart immediately racing. Last night, the little guy had sucked up all the qi and blood from his demon beast crystal core. Now won't it be trying to devour its host while he's weak?
Thinking about it, Chen Mo suddenly felt that the qi and blood in his dantian were recovering at a visible speed.
"……"
Chen Mo was dazed for a moment, staring at the blood-red caterpillar on his arm, "Are you helping me recover qi and blood?"
The blood-red caterpillar slightly shook its tiny head, as if it had understood Chen Mo's words.
Chen Mo's heart was overjoyed. It seems that the blood-red caterpillar wasn't out to harm him after all.
Could it be that this little guy is indeed left behind by Xiaoouding?
"The winner is Chen Sanzang."
At this moment, a loud and clear voice echoed in the Wufeng mountain, solidifying Chen Mo's position as the direct disciple.
Li Wang jumped down from the main seat and smiled, "Congratulations! You have become the direct disciple of our Miao Mountain School elder."
Li Wang's smile was a bit peculiar, and Chen Mo was puzzled. Nonetheless, he responded, "It was just luck."
"Alright, since you have won, you can go see the old ancestor directly now."
Li Wang waved his hand and said, "Seventh Elder, quickly take him to see the old ancestor."
Hua An was hesitant, "Master, this is a bit too hasty, don't you think? The old ancestor is quite temperamental, and going to see him without prior notice... perhaps he..."
Li Wang laughed heartily, "Don't worry, I think the old ancestor will be delighted to see him."
