Chapter 278(1/2)
I saw the big man in yellow robe sitting leisurely on the chair, without blinking an eyelid, and had no intention of asking about this matter.
As for Qiao Ling'er, when she faced Wu Tao's gaze, she stuck out her tongue and then tilted her head, making it clear that she didn't care about this matter.
"Senior, if I give up this choice, can I choose another spiritual place again?" Wu Tao asked the big man in yellow robe with a calm face.
"No. The number of caves is insufficient to begin with. Everyone has only one chance to compete for the caves."
"If we fail, we can only wait for the next ten years to fight for the vacated cave!" The big man in yellow robe said expressionlessly, without any intention of being accommodating.
After hearing this, Wu Tao sighed.
Waiting for ten years before choosing a cave is simply unbearable for him who desperately needs a stable place and enters the stage of forming the core.
But at this moment, Hong Bai sneered and said sarcastically: "Even if you wait another ten years, it will still be better than being beaten to death by me..."
Wu Tao raised his eyebrows after hearing what the other party said, and instead of getting angry, he laughed.
"Junior cannot agree to senior's request. I think it would be better for senior to find another place to practice."
"I don't want to get on any bad terms with my senior. What if I accidentally miss and injure my senior during the fight..."
Wu Tao snorted coldly and said sarcastically.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned when they heard the words.
With Wu Tao's cultivation in the late stage of foundation building, coupled with his previous behavior of showing weakness, suddenly speaking such words now naturally shocked everyone.
After hearing this, Hong Bai's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Boy, you are so brave! I have lived for more than two hundred years, and this is the first time I have seen a monk in the Foundation Establishment stage who dares to talk to a monk in the Core Formation stage like this."
"If this is the case, I will be waiting for you on the stage during the battle for the cave seven days later. You must not regret it in the middle and be a coward." Hong Bai said in an unusually stern tone.
…
"After seven days, the junior will learn the magical powers of the senior. I will take my leave now. Goodbye."
Wu Tao waved his robe and answered lightly.
The whole person left here directly.
Looking at Wu Tao's retreating figure, Hong Bai's face turned gloomy.
…
Qiao Ling'er and the middle-aged woman saw that there was no excitement to see, so they left Shuiyue Pavilion.
At this time, only the big man in yellow robe and Hong Bai were left on the third floor of Shuiyue Pavilion.
"What about Brother Hong Xian? You're fighting for a cave with a junior in the foundation building stage. If word spreads, you won't be afraid of people laughing at you."
"Besides, that junior is generally quite sensible. The cave he chose is also the worst among the many caves. Why bother to embarrass him?"
The big man in yellow robe asked with a smile as if he was harmless to humans and animals.
"Brother Xiang Zhao is that boy. He is so shameless, but with the support of someone behind him, he dares to come to the area of the Dan Formation Stage to choose a cave, and he still sounds so arrogant."
"If I don't teach him a lesson and make him kneel down and beg for mercy, I won't be able to swallow this breath."
It turns out that this big man in yellow robe is called Xiang Zhao.
…
Hearing the hidden anger in these words, Xiang Zhao shook his head and sighed, feeling a headache for Hong Bai's small-mindedness.
"Forget it, whatever your purpose is, just do it."

"But, do you really plan to kill that boy named Wu in the fight?" Xiang Zhao rolled his eyes, then changed his tone and changed the topic.
"Why, is there any connection between Brother Xiang and this person?" Hong Bai asked, his face darkening after hearing this.
…
"How could I be related to this person? But as you have seen, brother, that Qiao Ling'er is the eldest daughter-in-law of the deputy city lord's family, Lu Yatou."
Xiang Zhao said to Hong Bai in a seemingly warning tone.
"That boy has the eldest lady of the Lu family as his backer, so what? They broke the rules first. I'll teach that boy a lesson. What's wrong with him?"
Hong Bai's expression changed slightly, but after a moment of pondering, he sneered nonchalantly.
"Haha, brother Hong Xian is so domineering." Xiang Zhao saw that no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, it was of no use, so he simply ignored him and laughed.
After all, it's not your own business. Why should you worry about it?
Who would be so stupid as to do something that is not beneficial?
Moreover, he didn't have much favorable impression of Hong Bai, a guy who harmed others but not himself.
At this time, Xiang Zhao even had some doubts in his heart as to how the guy in front of him could reach the pill-forming stage.
You can obviously choose a better cave, but you have to fight with a junior for a shabby cave. In the end, whether you win or lose, it will be embarrassing, so why bother.
…
As time passed little by little, seven days soon passed.
In the open-air arena, Wu Tao stood on top of the arena, and outside the arena there was an old man wearing a golden battle armor who was in the middle of the pill formation stage.
The old man stood there with his arms folded, his expression cold and unusual.
In addition, Lu Yuehua's maid Qiao Ling'er also came to watch the battle.
Time passed little by little, Wu Tao stood on the ring and waited for a full hour, but Hong Bai still hadn't arrived.
At this time, even the face of the golden-armored old man showed a trace of impatience, and his eyes looked at the chronograph aside from time to time, as if counting the hours.
…
Suddenly, a white light flashed across the horizon, and in a blink of an eye, it was near the ring. When the light faded, it was revealed that this person was Hong Bai.
"Brother Wanyanwu, forgive me! I came a little late because I was refining the magic weapon. I didn't miss the battle time."
With an apologetic smile on his face, Hong Bai took out a storage bag filled with spiritual stones and handed it to the old man who was in the middle stage of the Golden Armor Formation.
"Hmph! If you come a moment later, you will be disqualified from the competition. You are lucky today. You arrived at the last moment. Go in now. The competition will begin now."
Wanyanwu, who was wearing golden armor, weighed the storage bag with his hands, his face softened slightly, and he said angrily.
…
"Thank you so much, brother Wanyanwu. I will definitely treat you to a drink someday."
Hong Bai was overjoyed, and with a flash of his body, he transformed into a ray of white light and rushed into the ring.
When Hong Bai appeared in the ring, his expression suddenly changed and he smiled mockingly at Wu Tao.
"Very good! You're really here. It seems like you have some courage and didn't act like a coward."
Hong Bai said grimly.
…
When Wu Tao heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and pointed his middle finger at him, as if he was too lazy to speak to him.
When Hong Bai saw this, he suddenly became furious, and the murderous intention that had been suppressed suddenly increased.
…

"Listen carefully, there are no restrictions during the battle in the cave. On the ring, any means can be used."
"And unless one party takes the initiative to admit defeat, I will not stop it in the slightest. If you think you are not strong enough, it is better to admit defeat as soon as possible."
"Although there are not too many deaths due to battles in the cave, there are still some."
"I've finished speaking. Next, I'll count to three, two, and one. If there are no objections, the process will begin."
Wanyan Wu spoke in routine words with an expressionless face.
…
Wu Tao and Hong Bai looked at each other from a distance, neither saying a word.
Upon seeing this, Wanyan Wu nodded and uttered the word "start".
In an instant, Wu Tao and Hong Bai took action almost at the same time.
Facing a monk in the alchemy stage, Wu Tao could only launch an attack first, hoping to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop before he could use his magical powers and magic weapons.
So Wu Tao used his ultimate move as soon as he came up.
By killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight thousand, he used the sword technique in the fragmentary scroll of the Destruction Taboo.
"Pseudo-magical power—sword devours the world!"
The dark sword energy of destruction, as soon as it appeared, began to devour everything around it, and then slashed directly at the opponent.
…
The other side.
