The underground auction caused an uproar in Yunzhong City, but it quickly dissipated after Nanzhou Prefecture suppressed it.
Ye Qian didn't do anything else after that. He handed over the alchemy task and went into seclusion at Yan Fugui's princess mansion.
More than half a month passed, and the Nanzhou State Competition finally began. Under the leadership of the bald girl Yan Fugui, Ye Qian came to the Teleportation Hall of Yunzhong City, and everyone who participated in the trial arrived one after another.
The Great Protector Elder presided over this trial. He didn't say much. He just glanced at Ye Qian when he arrived, and then continued to close his eyes and rest until the time came.
"Everyone who enters the teleportation array, no matter which one, the destination is the secret trial realm. Those who get ten trial quotas will go to the imperial capital. I wish you all a prosperous path to immortality!"
After the protector elder finished speaking, all the contestants stepped into the teleportation formation. Ye Qian looked at Yan Fugui and said, "See you in the capital!"
"Well, see you in the capital!" Yan Fugui smiled and waved, but her left hand clenched her sleeve tightly, revealing her mood.
…
In the secret trial realm, Ye Qian looked around, and environmental information poured into his mind like a tide.
This is a forest with a radius of more than 20 miles, with pine and cypress trees in the sky. They almost reach into the clouds.
Ye Qian's location was in the center of the forest, on the edge of a crescent-shaped lake.
When he just passed through the barrier, the Taoist weapon's transformation knife inside his body, which was originally peaceful, actually started to tremble.
Also, being able to use mental power to create such a real and huge trial channel is enough to see the power of the person behind it.
On the opposite side of Crescent Lake, two shadows fell on two black-barked pine trees at the same time.
The cultivator on the left is tall, almost ten feet tall.
He was seen wearing a brocade robe, with emerald earrings hanging from his ears.
However, the crocodile tail trailing behind revealed the origin of this person.
A cultivator of the demon clan! Still peeking into the ninth level of the Tao realm!
Another cultivator released a pressure that was almost exactly the same.
It's just that the cultivator's entire figure is shrouded in a layer of black mist. If he uses his mental power to forcefully probe, he may be unhappy.
Ye Qian slightly cupped his hands and said, "Two seniors, please be polite to me, Ye Qian of the human race!"
The crocodile cultivator snorted coldly. He glanced at Ye Qian out of the corner of his eye and said angrily: "Human guys just like to practice hypocritical etiquette. I, the black crocodile, don't do this!"
The demon cultivator in the black mist laughed ferociously. His voice sounded far and near, as if it was some kind of special technique.
"Black Crocodile, I'm a late-born child, why don't I salute you?"
After speaking, he waved his hand and dispersed the black fog in front of him, revealing a face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
"Hey, little young man, when Taoist Master drains your essence and blood later, please remember my name, Taoist Yixiao!"
A Taoist with a smile, a flower-winged bat who has attained Taoism for thousands of years, is famous in the southern border of the empire, not only in Nanzhou, but also in several surrounding areas.
The skills practiced by this person are extremely weird. According to legend, they are the fragments of the skills of Zhang Guolao, the Eight Immortals of the Ancient World. All practitioners who were defeated by him had their blood and essence sucked clean from their bodies.
Even though he is a deviant from the Taoist teachings, in the world of Peeping Dao realm practitioners, the principle of having a big fist is naturally hard.
Looking at Ye Qian's stern face, the Taoist smiled and seemed to have achieved his goal. He turned around and stopped talking to Ye Qian.
"Old Hei, the last time we fought was two hundred years ago, right?"
Black Crocodile sniffed, with an ugly look on his face, as if he was reluctant to mention that fight, "Humph, that time you were just one step ahead of me in terms of mental power, and you were lucky enough to succeed. Today is different.
, there are three people here, you can decide how many you want."
Ye Qian squinted his eyes. The black crocodile's brain didn't look as rough as his appearance. In his words, there was a gun and a stick, both rough and thin.
"A human cultivator has only glimpsed the eighth level of the Tao realm. It's nothing to worry about, but he is the old man." Taoist Yixiao pointed to the sun above his head and said: "In this trial channel, only one person can walk out alive. Between you and me,
I didn’t expect to have to compete here today.”
The black crocodile shook his head. He stretched out a finger and pointed the black fingertip at Ye Qian and said: "Why don't you and I deal with this minor trouble first before we tell the difference?"
"Hahaha, heroes think alike."
Ye Qian's heart was in a state of shock. These two old guys were indeed becoming more slippery as they got older. Having said so much, they still had to deal with themselves first.
But the two demon masters in front of them still stood still.
For half a quarter of an hour, Ye Qian felt huge pressure coming from all directions, and the Taoist transformation knife in the Taoist realm bounced non-stop. If Ye Qian hadn't forcibly used his mental power to
Its suppression may be ejected from the top of the head!
"Boom!"
With the sound of a drum, the sun above everyone's heads suddenly disappeared, and darkness instantly enveloped the entire trial passage.
Oh no! Ye Qian's heart skipped a beat.
These monster cultivators fought in the dark night as if they were in daylight, and their spiritual power was greatly released after losing the suppression of the sun.
This is a law that everyone in the world knows.
Therefore, when fighting, most human cultivators are unwilling to fight in the dark.
It was too late, but it was so fast. The subconscious mind honed by many life-and-death fights made him take a few steps back.
In the blink of an eye, a crocodile tail about ten feet thick suddenly fell down, and the sand and gravel shot out in all directions, almost hitting Ye Qian's face.
Before he could take a breath, a gust of wind blew behind Ye Qian's head.
"clang!"
Ye Qian turned around, and the Taoist weapon in his hand firmly held the Taoist's sharp claws.
"Good knife!"
Taoist Yixiao, who jumped back into the air with the force of the counter-shock, looked at his paws, and then shouted loudly: "Old man Hei, don't take this sword from me, it will be mine later!"
"Then we have to wait until you kill this kid!"
Black Crocodile made a hand seal, and half of the Crescent Lake in front of him flew up into the air. Under the influence of Black Crocodile's spiritual power, it instantly froze into ice arrows.
"Die!"
Black Crocodile scolded, and all these tens of thousands of ice arrows pierced Ye Qian.
Taoist Yixiao was not to be outdone. His index and middle fingers on his right hand came together to form an arrow, and he chanted an ancient mantra.
Every byte stirred up the big trees in the sky around them. All these big trees were uprooted and rushed towards Ye Qian.
In front of them are ice arrows that cover the sky, and behind them are the impact of big trees. It seems like this is a dead end.
"boom!"
The giant wood and the ice arrow collided together, and cruel smiles appeared on the faces of Black Crocodile and Taoist Yixiao.
"Okay, dead bat, now it's you and me..."
"careful!"
Taoist Yixiao let out a low roar, and from the black mist that shrouded his body, he actually stretched out two pale wings and flew three to five miles away.
There was a surprised look on Black Crocodile's face, and a purple-gold sword energy seemed to come from the void, without any warning, and struck directly towards the center of his eyebrows.
"scold!"
In an instant, Black Crocodile opened his five fingers, spit out a mouthful of dark yellow spiritual power, and placed a protective shield on his chest.
"Stab it..."
The purple-gold sword energy was like a sharp blade cutting through cloth, directly tearing open the protective shield that Black Crocodile had hastily put up.
Black Crocodile had no choice but to leap forward, barely escaping the pursuing purple-gold sword energy.
But when he released his right hand covering his chest, the black blood was shocking.
The black crocodile roared, extremely angry.
For demon cultivators, even after cultivating into human form, they still take great care of their physical bodies.
This knife is no less than stepping on a cat's tail!
"Wait a minute! Old man Hei, this guy is a bit unusual!"
Hearing Taoist Yixiao's advice, Black Crocodile looked at Ye Qian who suddenly appeared behind where he was just standing, and the fire in his heart immediately subsided.
Especially when he saw Ye Qian's body unscathed, the raging flames that had just been set off in his heart disappeared.
"What ancient skills have you... practiced?"
Ye Qian shook his head with a stern face. He would definitely not be able to explain this method clearly.
When he first arrived at this trial passage, he discovered that everything here was made of mental power.
The two cultivators of the Dao Peeping Realm from the Demon Clan just now were dedicated to the great, and the spells they used were all of a kind that borrowed a little spiritual power to stimulate the spiritual power in the environment.
Of course, he knew that these two masters were not willing to waste their spiritual power on a little pawn like him, so the two of them planned to finish off him, Ye Qian, and then have a big battle later in order to obtain the token for the Battle of the Dragon.
What a pity.
Ye Qian's right hand stroked the blade of the Taoist Huasheng Knife. This good comrade-in-arms seemed to be excited for the upcoming battle, and actually screamed.
"brush!"
Ye Qian's spiritual power was continuously injected into the Taoist Huasheng Dao, and a three-foot-long sword suddenly appeared on the blade.
"Two seniors, this junior will decide on the token for the dragon battle!"
After saying this, Ye Qian jumped across space, and the next moment, the sword energy was already grazing against the scalp of the black crocodile.
The black crocodile roared wildly, and Ye Qian's sword seemed to have eyes, and he cut off a few of his hairs as if to deliberately humiliate him.
"Die!"
Black Crocodile clapped his hands, and a large amount of spiritual power condensed into a sharp-toothed dagger in his hands.
He slammed the dagger into the remaining half of the Crescent Lake, and a milky-white vortex suddenly formed. The vortex grew larger and larger, directly surrounding the black crocodile.
If you pass through such a defense without knowing it, you will only be counterattacked by the black crocodile inside.
But Ye Qian didn't seem to understand what was going on, so he directly got in with the Taoist Huasheng Knife.
The black crocodile grinned, and his hands flew up and down. As soon as Ye Qian got into the whirlpool, he immediately activated the water wall to change his formation, and strangled this ignorant boy to a pulp!
"bite!"
A crisp sound passed into Black Crocodile's ears. This was the sound of the boy's magic weapon colliding with the water wall!
Change of formation!
Black Crocodile clapped his hands, and countless spiritual powers poured into the water wall crazily.
In his mind, he was already imagining Ye Qian turning into a ball of meat!
The next moment, the proud expression on Black Crocodile's face stopped, because he actually slapped his hands on the air!
Ye Qian stretched out his hand to grab half of the water that had been stirred up just now, and put it all into his palm.
And the three-foot-long blade on his Taoist Huasheng Knife suddenly stretched, as if he had taken a Shiquan Dabu Pill, to a length of no less than ten feet!
The black crocodile was surprised and turned around to avoid the blade.
Ye Qian turned his wrist, and the Shizhang Blade Qi actually cut into the tail of the black crocodile.
Fortunately, this tail is a treasure that he has practiced for many years, and it has long been able to withstand the collision between magic weapons.
But despite this, when the black crocodile jumped and hid half a mile away, there was still a trace of blood on its tail.
Half a mile?
Ye Qian chuckled, and he jumped through space again, emerging from behind the black crocodile.
A demon clan leader who had peeked into the ninth level of the Dao Realm was being hunted by Ye Qian.
The escaping Black Crocodile sent a message into the secret: "Damn Bat, what are you waiting for? If this guy continues, it will only be detrimental to us!"
Taoist Yixiao shouted directly: "Stop talking nonsense, why don't you use the bottom-of-the-box moves? The trial channel will shrink later, and we will all be eliminated!"
The trial channel shrinks?
Ye Qian's heart moved, but he didn't hear this information.
