The incense was lit, and green smoke slowly rose.

Seeing that Ge Wuqing agreed to compete, Mingkong Zilin let go of Zheng Qiu. When she took her hand away from the back of Zheng Qiu's neck, she pulled out two thin golden needles from the neck bones.

When the golden needles were pulled out, Zheng Qiu shivered and immediately regained his ability to move. It turned out that Mingkong Zilin had just used these two golden needles to control Zheng Qiu and make Zheng Qiu nod obediently.

"Mingkong Zilin, you...wuwu..." Before Zheng Qiu could say anything, Master Mingzong next to him covered his mouth.

"Stupid boy, shut up!" Mingkong Zilin made a silent gesture, raised her head and asked Mingzong, "Old man Mingzong, do you really have a way to make this kid beat Ge An?"

Master Mingzong thought for a moment and nodded: "It should be possible."

Then he let go of Zheng Qiu and pulled his apprentice behind the banquet table.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Master Mingzong grabbed his apprentice's shoulders and said seriously: "Zheng Qiu, now the burden of Qianyun Sect is on you. You don't need to worry about why. You just need to remember one thing, better than Ge An!"

Mingkong Zilin added next to her: "Stupid boy, my future lies in your hands, you must not sell me out!"

At this time, other elders of Qianyun Sect also gathered around and asked in low voices.

"Ming Zong, are you sure you want Zheng Qiu and Ge An to compete?"

"Ge'an is the lowest in Qi Hua realm, how can Zheng Qiu compare?"

"Mingzong, do you have any special method?"

"Mingzong, do you need our help?"

Zheng Qiu himself had no confidence in the test. He said with a grimace, "Master, I can't beat Ge'an. How can I win?"

Master Mingzong shook his apprentice vigorously and said in a commanding tone: "Don't lose confidence, you will definitely win. Believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to win."

Then he glanced at Ge Wuwu with his peripheral vision and found that Ge Qingwu was talking to his adopted son Ge An, but his eyes glanced here from time to time.

So he whispered to the elders gathered around him: "We are running out of time. Ge Wuqing is looking over here. Please help me block him."

The elders naturally understood what Ming Zong meant. A few of them chattered nonsense and pretended to be discussing, but their bodies formed a human wall intentionally or unintentionally, blocking Ge Wuqing's sight.

Master Mingzong looked into Zheng Qiu's eyes and cast a trusting gaze: "Zheng Qiu, you must listen carefully to every next sentence, and you will follow the steps I told you later..."

The incense was getting shorter and shorter, and Master Mingzong finally finished explaining the entire procedure. He asked anxiously: "Do you remember?"

Zheng Qiu nodded: "I remember."

"good!"

Master Mingzong took out two pieces of white paper from the wooden box hanging on his disciple's waist, quickly drew two different curse patterns on the paper, carefully folded them and stuffed them into his disciple's sleeves.

Then he called to the other elders: "Quickly, take out your heaven and earth crystals, take them all out! Just gold, brown, and purple."

The elders rummaged through their pockets and gave Mingzong three colors of heaven and earth crystals. Among them, Ming Chengxi had the most heaven and earth crystals on his body, with more than fifty in these three colors alone.

On the other side, Ge Wuqing whispered to Ge An: "That boy named Zheng Qiu can cast spells, and he can cast spells very quickly, but his cultivation is far inferior to yours.

Remember, the more powerful the spell, the more difficult it is to draw, the more time it takes to cast, and the more Heaven and Earth Crystals are consumed. You have to attack with all your strength, attack continuously, and don't give him any chance to breathe.

It would be best if you can break through his defensive spell, but it doesn't matter if you can't break it, as it can quickly consume the heaven and earth crystals on him."

The incense burned out quickly. Ge Wuqing stood up straight and shouted down: "The time has come. Let the boy named Zheng Qiu come out and start the competition in the open space."

Master Ming Zong hurriedly separated the Heaven and Earth Crystals, stuffed them into Zheng Qiu's sleeves, and said: "Zheng Qiu, remember what the master said, don't panic, follow the steps, you only have this one chance."

"Are you ready? Do you still want to compete?" Ge Wuqing walked down slowly.

"Okay, get ready!" Elder Mingzong asked the others to disperse, and he led Zheng Qiu to Ge Qingqing, "Master Ge, the child is ready, you can start the competition."

Ge Qingqing stared at Zheng Qiu, scanning up and down several times, but found nothing unusual.

He waved his hand and announced: "Ge An, Zheng Qiu, you two are competing in the air. The sword has no eyes, and life and death are determined. You cannot admit defeat. You will only lose if you fall."

The sect leader Mingkong Aoqing's brows twitched, and he thought: "In this life-and-death competition, Ge Qingqing wants to take this opportunity to scare the monkeys. I hope Mingzong can find a way to save his apprentice's life."

Standing in the open space, Zheng Qiu looked at Ge An. He was taller and handsomer than him, and his cultivation level was far higher than his.

Ge An exuded a vague sense of majesty, which brought great psychological pressure to Zheng Qiu. Although he knew that this sense of majesty was formed by deliberately emitting the power of heaven and earth in his energy, the pressure could

Not fake.

Zheng Qiu also heard what Ge Wuqing said just now about swords having no eyes, life and death, which made him even more nervous. This was a life and death competition. If he missed, his life would be at stake.

His calves felt weak, and cold sweat continued to break out from his back, but he firmly remembered what his master said and could not show any timidity.

Across the street, Ge An was also observing Zheng Qiu. He found that the boy named Zheng Qiu had a pale face and was very nervous. However, he stood upright and showed no fear of shrinking.

Ge'an guessed that Zheng Qiu had some tough back-up moves. In order to ensure nothing went wrong, he decided to use his kung fu to increase his strength to the Qi Hua realm, and then launch an attack with weapons in hand.

"The competition begins!"

As Ge Qingqing's words fell, Ge An immediately stepped off his horse and danced his arms to exercise his energy. A faint blue light mist emerged on his body, then slowly solidified, and began to turn into flames, covering his whole body.

In the open space, Ge An began to practice his kung fu. A blue light mist appeared on Mingkong Zilin's body at the banquet table, but this time the two were far away, and Mingkong Zilin was less affected. The light mist was only a thin layer.

, vaguely and unclearly.

While Ge An was doing his exercises, Zheng Qiu took out a pen and paper from the wooden box at his waist, concentrated on drawing the curse lines of the sword-blocking earth figurine curse as quickly as possible.

When he had just finished drawing the curse pattern, he looked up and saw Ge An on the opposite side already covered in blue flame clothing. This was a sign that his skill had reached the level of Qi Hua.

Ge An pulled out a small gray hammer from the belt on his lower back. The shape of the hammer was exactly like the Wuwang disaster in Ge Qingqing's hand.

Zheng Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. The development of the situation was exactly as expected by the master. If he did not show any cowardice, Ge An would not dare to attack rashly. He would definitely use his skills to increase his strength first, thus delaying the time to draw the first curse pattern.
