"Why hasn't Brother Feng come back yet?" Fei Ling looked anxiously at the village gate, clasping her little hands and worried.
"Almost half the time of the incense stick has passed." Chu Chen on the side also frowned slightly and said, "Did Brother Fengzi encounter any obstacles?"
"Probably not." Upon hearing this, the fat girl looked at the two of them doubtfully and said, "There are almost no traps in our passages, so we can pass them naturally."
"But Brother Feng hasn't come back yet?" Fei Ling was also puzzled: "Is there something wrong with his passage?"
"Perhaps." Chu Chen was also full of doubts and worries, so he could only chuckle and said: "Isn't there still time? We have to believe in Brother Fengzi, he will definitely come back."
Hearing Chu Chen's comfort, Fei Ling's tense expression softened and she nodded uneasily. There was nothing she could do now but wait quietly for Lin Yufeng to come back.
Seeing Fei Ling calm down a little, Chu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at the rest of his companions.
Seemingly thinking of something, Chu Chen was slightly startled, and then murmured: "This guy Shi Qian..."
"Father." After looking for a long time and not seeing anyone at the village gate, Chu Tiannan said with certainty: "This time, Lin Yufeng, the kid, will definitely not be able to pass."
Now, eight of the sixteen children have returned. Except for Lin Yufeng's impossible passage, the other children's passages are safe from any danger. They will surely be able to get the tokens and return to the gathering place soon.
Mr. Chu looked at Chu Tiannan, frowned slightly, and whispered: "I think it's not as simple as expected."
"Oh? Why?" Chu Tiannan was puzzled: "Father, the fire poisonous hedgehog is capable of offense and defense. Let alone Lin Yufeng, even if Mo Qingyang encounters him, he can only escape. How can he defeat a child with only nine levels of spiritual energy?
Fire Hedgehog?"
This is not Chu Tiannan’s lie. After all, among the sixteen children, even Mo Qingyang, the most powerful, is a spiritual beast that is difficult to defeat, let alone Lin Yufeng, who is the last in terms of strength?
And according to his expectations, Lin Yufeng had already failed to clear the level and could only wait for time to pass.
"I also know that there is basically no hope for Xiao Feng to come back." As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Chu nodded solemnly and murmured: "But, I have a vague feeling that that child seems a little unusual..."
Huang Gu looked calm, with a sneer on his face.
"Husband, do you think Yun Yan's child can come back?" Fei Ling's mother, Mu Rusu, turned her head to look at Huang Gu.
"He can't come back." As soon as Mu Rusu finished speaking, Huang Gu immediately said with certainty: "He will never come back."
Hearing her husband's firm tone, Mu Rusu sighed lightly and said, "That's right, even if the child is the most talented, he is still at the bottom in terms of strength. If there is no accident, it will be difficult to pass..."
"There is no accident." Before Mu Rusu finished speaking, Huang Gu shook his head and said calmly: "In the face of absolute strength, he has no hope."
Not far from the crowd, on a big rock.
A young man in green clothes, holding a scabbard, with a thin figure and a stern face, sat on a big rock and stared at the village gate without blinking.
"Will he come back?" Mo Qingyang murmured.
————
"There are always people like this in the world."
Seeing Shi Qian walking towards him, Lin Yufeng said with a smile: "I always thought that I was high up, overlooking all living beings. Only when I died did I realize that I was the most humble ant in the world, so humble that I was worthless."
Shi Qian strolled out, surprisingly without any retort, and looked at Lin Yufeng with a cold expression: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"I knew I would have asked you to wait longer." Lin Yufeng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Shi Qian looked at Lin Yufeng and said, "I don't understand, why are you still so arrogant when you are about to die? Could it be that you don't cry until you see the coffin?"...
"Perhaps." Lin Yufeng shrugged, without the slightest hint of timidity: "If you have any questions, hurry up. I have to rush back and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
"You can't go back." Shi Qian said calmly.
"Really?" Lin Yufeng narrowed his eyes.
At the same time, his right hand gently touched the cloth bag hanging on his waist - inside, there were five fire stingers.
"You are not as good as me, so you can't go back." Shi Qian looked at Lin Yufeng with disdain and said contemptuously: "I regret to tell you that your competition is over."
"Oh?" Lin Yufeng pretended to be confused: "The reason?"
"Are you deaf?" Shi Qian shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't be surprised. Weak people will always ask ignorant questions."
Lin Yufeng looked at Shi Qian with pity, did not answer, raised his feet and left. It would be useless to say more to such an idiot who deceives himself and others.
Moreover, he was in a hurry to get back, and if he said more words, he would be delayed for one more second, which was a big disadvantage.
Seeing Lin Yufeng preparing to leave, Shi Qian couldn't help but his face suddenly darkened even though he was good at cultivating qi.
He is obviously much stronger than him, yet he despises himself so much?
Is there anyone so indifferent to people?
"It seems like you won't bow your head if I don't let you suffer a little bit." Shi Qian said coldly.
Hearing this, Lin Yufeng stopped smiling and his face became slightly solemn. Although he was not wary of the other party verbally, he was closely watching Shi Qian's every move in his heart.
First of all, after half a year of training, Shi Qian's strength has reached the second level of the spirit, which is much higher than his own. If there is a fight, Lin Yufeng will definitely use all his strength. Even with the power of thunder as a guarantee, he cannot
Even if he is distracted at all, who knows if Shi Qian has any other means?
Furthermore, this guy is quite insidious and cunning. The Bone Wolf incident half a year ago is the best proof. If Mo Qingyang hadn't caught him, it would have been difficult for Lin Yufeng to provide evidence to prove it. Therefore, in addition to being wary of the other party's actions, Lin Yufeng felt that
I'm still thinking about whether Shi Qian has any other conspiracy.
"Could it be that you want to delay time?" Lin Yufeng looked at Shi Qian indifferently and said slowly: "But don't forget, it's a competition now. If we fight, the worst we can do is fail the test together."
According to Lin Yufeng's guess, even if Shi Qian faced him, even if he wanted to defeat him in a short time, it would be quite difficult. Moreover, once the two sides fought, the game time would be shortened. If after a stick of incense, neither of them came back.
, that can only be a lose-lose consequence. With Shi Qian’s personality, he would not do such a thankless thing.
"Do you think I would be so stupid that I would take care of you myself?" Shi Qian smiled disdainfully, and then took out a yellow Taoist talisman from his arms.
"Tao Talisman?" Upon seeing this, Lin Yufeng frowned and felt uneasy in his heart.
"What? Are you scared?" Seeing Lin Yufeng's solemn expression, Shi Qian's gloomy expression also softened. He shook the yellow Taoist talisman and said solemnly: "To deal with an ant like you, do you need me to take action personally? One piece.
The spell is enough to kill you!"
"Spell?" As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yufeng's expression changed slightly.
Talisman is one of the three major sub-professions - Talisman Master. It has a unique skill. It is said that it can seal the five elements of spells in the Taoist Talisman. When fighting with people, by injecting spiritual energy into the Taoist Talisman, you can instantly cast the Five Elements spells.
attack.
This kind of talisman is much better than the spiritual skills practiced by spiritual practitioners. It does not require concentration time, and the attack power is not weak. High-level talisman masters can even recite the spell directly without the need for talismans.
, you can cast Five Elements spells, so Talisman Master is also a headache for many powerful people.
"This guy is not a talisman master at all. Where did he get the magic talisman from?" Lin Yufeng stared closely at the yellow talisman paper, wondering secretly in his heart.
With a sudden realization, Lin Yufeng immediately understood that Shi Qian must have relied on money and power to buy Taoist talismans through various channels...
The talismans made by the Talisman Master have different special effects. They can heal, attack, defend, and even help escape. Although they are disposable consumables, even the lowest-level talismans are expensive and cannot be repaired by ordinary people.
The person simply did not have enough financial resources to buy it, and only Shi Qian, a wealthy and noble son, had the capital.
"We don't have much time..." Shi Qian held the Taoist talisman between his fingers and smiled solemnly: "Then, this is the end of the excessive nonsense."
"This is a bit troublesome." Lin Yufeng's face was serious and his eyes were fixed on Shi Qian.
Shi Qian's eyes were cold, and he held the Taoist Talisman between his fingers with a slight wave, and the Taoist Talisman floated in front of him.
There are nine mysterious runes on the Taoist talisman, among which one word is the largest and most conspicuous - "Thunder"!
"Thunder attribute talisman?" Lin Yufeng frowned, and with a sudden movement of consciousness, the power of thunder in his body quickly surged throughout his body.
Shi Qian gently closed his eyes, combined his fingers, stretched out his right hand, and a stream of spiritual energy appeared from his fingers, and was quickly injected into the Taoist Talisman.
"What on earth does this guy want to do?" Lin Yufeng's eyes narrowed, and his right hand turned into a fist, and streaks of white lightning gradually wrapped around him.
He wanted to rush forward and stop Shi Qian's move, but Lin Yufeng thought about it and could only stop his movement.
The distance between the two is quite far. Not to mention whether he can rush to Shi Qian and stop him within the estimated time. What worries Lin Yufeng is that if something happens suddenly when he rushes forward, it will be really difficult.
.
Shi Qian's strength is much higher than him, and with the help of the talisman, Lin Yufeng's chances of winning were not great originally, and they are undoubtedly even less now.
"Drink!" In vain, Shi Qian opened his eyes and shouted lowly, and then the yellow talisman burst out with a burst of red light.
"No! The spell has been cast!" Upon seeing this, Lin Yufeng's face changed slightly, and before he had time to think, he moved his feet and dodged towards the woods.
"Want to run?" Shi Qian sneered again and again, then pointed his fingers in Lin Yufeng's direction, and shouted in a deep voice: "Thunder Running Technique, start!"
As Shi Qian finished speaking, the Taoist talisman with the word "Thunder" on it shone with red light, and then suddenly shot out a red lightning bolt.
The target is none other than Lin Yufeng!
"Oops!" Seeing the red lightning striking towards him, Lin Yufeng's pupils shrank slightly, his feet speeded up, and he hid behind a big tree in an instant.
"Boom!" The red lightning struck the big tree, and immediately the latter shuddered suddenly, and the huge tree trunk was split in half by the lightning.
"What a terrifying power!" Lin Yufeng stared at the big tree that was split in half, and black smoke was still billowing out.
Just a flash of lightning split a large tree in half with at least ten people hugging it. One can imagine how powerful the spell is.
This kind of power is at least at the peak of the ninth level of the spirit! Even the fire poisonous hedgehog just now has super strong defense. If he is hit by a bolt of lightning, he will not die but will be seriously injured.
If he hadn't found cover just now, with the power of this red lightning... Thinking of this, Lin Yufeng couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and his face became more solemn.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to move quite fast."
Looking at the giant tree that had become two pieces, Shi Qian's face was filled with pride and arrogance. The Taoist talisman suspended in front of him had one of the original nine runes on it reduced due to the use of lightning.
Shi Qian smiled sinisterly and said: "This time, just treat it as a meeting gift. You won't be so lucky next time!"
After saying this, Shi Qian gave another deep drink, and a stream of spiritual energy was injected into the yellow talisman again.
"No! Here we go again!" Seeing this, Lin Yufeng's expression changed again, and he immediately rushed behind him to find cover.
"You can't escape!" Shi Qian smiled disdainfully, and the yellow talisman struck out a red lightning bolt again.
Feeling the red lightning behind him and the extremely powerful force, Lin Yufeng tensed up and shuttled left and right, trying to speed up...
With a quick glance, Wu Ran immediately spotted a large rock and hid behind it without any hesitation.
"Boom!" The red lightning struck, and a huge and extremely hard boulder instantly turned into rubble, flying all over the sky.
"Ah!" He cried out in pain, and the powerful impact affected Lin Yufeng. He was ejected and hit the trees behind Dashi hard.
"This red lightning is not only fast, but also so powerful..."
Lin Yufeng stood up, enduring the pain on his body, with an extremely solemn expression. He squinted his eyes and looked at Shi Qian in the distance, and said to himself: "This time, it's getting more and more difficult."
On the Taoist talisman suspended in mid-air, the eight talismans were reduced by one again.
"I didn't expect that you were lucky again." Shi Qian was also quite surprised and said in a cold tone: "It's a pity that two lightning bolts can't kill you."
Hearing this, Lin Yufeng did not reply. He was constantly thinking about how to escape.
He knew that in the current situation, he was at an absolute disadvantage. The power of the spell was indeed too powerful, and its attack power was comparable to that of the ninth level peak spiritual master.
If he hadn't been fighting wild beasts frequently over the past six months, and had accumulated a lot of combat experience and the ability to react to allergies, he might have fallen here.
"I just hit a big tree and was injured. If this continues, I will be more and more in danger." Lin Yufeng frowned and covered his shoulders, where bruises already appeared.
The aggravation of his injuries and the exhaustion of his physical strength undoubtedly made Lin Yufeng's situation even more dangerous once again.
"What should I do?" Lin Yufeng's palms were sweating as he stared closely at Shi Qian who was walking towards him.
His current condition is not as good as before. If the red lightning strikes next time, it will be difficult to avoid it.
At this moment, the source of the thunder in Lin Yufeng's body moved slightly in vain.
"What's going on?" The beating of Tianlei's origin naturally couldn't escape Lin Yufeng's reaction, and his consciousness immediately sank into his Dantian.
When Lin Yufeng saw the origin of Tianlei, he was instantly shocked!
I saw traces of red lightning being swallowed by the source of the thunder!
"This...this red lightning, could it be that half of the stone was removed just now, and the other half came to my body?!" Suddenly, Lin Yufeng understood why red lightning appeared in his body.
However, something even more surprising to Lin Yufeng happened again!
As the red lightning was swallowed by the source of the thunder, the severe pain in Lin Yufeng's body was slowly disappearing!
"The injury... actually healed gradually?!" Lin Yufeng's eyes widened as the pain disappeared.
Not only that, when the red lightning was completely refined by the source of the sky thunder, a more pure power of sky thunder than before gradually filled Lin Yufeng's body!
With the emergence of the power of thunder, the barrier that hindered Lin Yufeng from advancing to the tenth level of spiritual energy is slowly disappearing!
"This..." Lin Yufeng was suddenly startled, and then his face was filled with ecstasy.
"This red lightning can actually allow me to break through to the tenth stage of spiritual energy?!"
