"Hehe, can I hear your reason?”
"Yes, because every time I fight, I'm not of much use. I can't help my companions share the burden, but instead become a burden. Although I have the secret technique of the Jade Shadow that my mother taught me, my cultivation is limited. I can only use some supplementary moves. When I encounter experts, it naturally won't be very powerful. I found that the Five Elements Technique of Shu Dao Sacred Mountain is very powerful, so I also want to study it.”
"Hehe, in fact, your Biying Gorge's mantra is not inferior to our Shu Dao Sacred Mountain. It's just that you haven't comprehended it. Since you're the grand-disciple of an old friend and are fated to be with our Shu Dao Sacred Mountain, I'll teach you the Five Elements Technique with the same physical attributes. What do you think?”
"Thank you for your help, Venerable One!" Han Xu jumped up happily and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
"Alright, let me see. Hmm, your constitution is earth, so I'll teach you the Seven Star Dipper Steps first.”
"Hmm, what is this move? Is it powerful?”Han Xu asked anxiously.
"This is a set of footwork that combines the positions of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper. It's unpredictable and the positions seem ordinary, but they complement each other in seven directions. It can defend and attack.”
" Ah, so it's a footwork. I thought it was some powerful move…" Han Xu looked disappointed.
"What? Are you looking down on the movement techniques of our Shu Dao Sacred Mountain?”
"No…no, I just want to learn a move that is more destructive.”
"You child, actually most of the earth attribute spells are mainly defensive and evasive. There are very few powerful killing moves, but they are very domineering. However, with your current aptitude, it will be very difficult for you to control them.”
"Sigh, why do I have to be of the earth attribute? The heavens really don't have eyes. I'm destined not to be famous all over the world.”Han Xu complained in a low voice.
"Hehe, don't underestimate the earth attribute. It's the symbol of the emperor. There are only a few disciples in our Earth Transportation Hall, and their talent isn't very good. The other disciples only dabbled in it a little. Since you have a rare earth-attribute Life Providence, don't let me down.”
After listening to Honored Warrior Renwu's words, Han Xu was inexplicably excited. The disappointment he felt just now also disappeared. After thanking Honored Warrior Renwu, he began to recite the unique chant.
The matches in the afternoon came one after another. Sword Shadow Field was divided into two sides. One side was Nangong Qian versus Tang Wan 'er, and the other side was Nangong Kun versus Huaifeng. The competition began fiercely with Honorable Benevolent Martial's announcement.
Tang Wan 'er was the first to start the battle. She changed her hand seals at lightning speed. The white talisman suspended in the air suddenly shone in all directions, and a few streams of water vapor attacked Nangong Qian. Nangong Qian hurriedly poured his vital essence into his legs and avoided Tang Wan 'er's water vapor. Han Xu immediately recognized that this was the Seven Stars Dipper Steps that Venerable Renwu had taught him in the afternoon. He was secretly delighted to see its practicality.
Huaifeng saw that Nangong Kun had no intention of attacking her, so he said with self-awareness,""Senior brother Kun, are you going to keep watching Wan 'er and the others?”
Nangong Kun regained his senses." Alright, be careful!”
A soaring fire dragon began to collide violently with the hurricane summoned by Huai Feng, sparks flying everywhere it went, and a strong wind blew.
"Wan 'er, you'd better stop. I have the lightning attribute. Your water attribute is not my match at all.”
Tang Wan 'er didn't respond. Her vital essence surged, and the white light of the white talisman flourished. Four water dragons emerged from the white light, swaying their bodies as they pounced towards Nangong Qian. Nangong Qian knew that there was no point in saying anything more. He steeled his heart and the blue talisman in front of him suddenly appeared with a blue light. Dazzling lightning surrounded his body as he faced the menacing water dragon.
The moment the lightning water touched her, the lightning qi spread rapidly toward Tang Wan 'er along the water. Tang Wan 'er did not stop the water vapor. Instead, she activated her vital essence to increase the attack power of the water dragon, trying to break through the lightning energy around Nangong Qian.
Just as the water dragon broke through the lightning Qi, Tang Wan 'er felt a numbness that ran through her entire body. Pain crawled up her heart. Her true essence was in a mess, and the white talisman hanging beside her floated down. The water dragon also completely collapsed. Nangong Qian wanted to withdraw his lightning energy, but Tang Wan 'er had already expended too much energy in the morning. Now, her entire body was useless. She could not withstand the powerful lightning energy at all and was sent flying.
Nangong Qian leaped to catch Tang Wan 'er, but Nangong Kun, who had already won, beat him to it. When Tang Wan 'er was saved by Nangong Kun, she was already in tears. Her tears flowed down Nangong Kun's shoulders without restraint. Tang Wan' er's cries were heartbreaking because she knew that if she lost today, she might lose her happiness forever.
The people around her were very sad and did not know how to comfort her. Nangong Qian also hesitated, not wanting to disturb Tang Wan 'er's release.
Nangong Kun's eyes were filled with disappointment. He hugged Tang Wan 'er tightly and let her release herself on his shoulder. Perhaps this time, their hearts were so close to each other. He said slowly in a voice that only the two of them could hear,"Don't cry. You still have me. I won't let you down. You will definitely be happy!”
In the evening, Nangong Qian stood alone in front of the mountain gate, deep in thought. Ever since the battle between him and Tang Wan 'er, he had been staying here and never left. He held the snake-shaped jade pendant that Bai Su had given him in his hand. As he brushed the cracks on the jade pendant, his mind was filled with thoughts.
A figure floated over. Nangong Qian took a closer look and realized that it was Nangong Kun. His face was no longer as eager as before. Instead, it was filled with determination and determination to defeat Nangong Qian.
"I didn't expect you to really attack Wan 'er today. You disappoint me!”
"Second brother, let me explain…"
"You don't have to explain. I'll defeat you tonight. Just wait to get married to Wan 'er.”
"Do you really want me to marry Wan 'er? Don't you love Wan 'er deeply?"
"Yes, I love Wan 'er, even more than you, but the person Wan' er loves is not me but you. I've never regretted what I've done for Wan 'er, so as long as I see her happy, I'll be content!”
" Second brother, you've really grown up…"
"Enough, I don't want to hear any more of this gossip. Just tell me, are you willing to quit tonight?”
Nangong Qian was speechless.
"Alright, since you're so stubborn, I won't show you any mercy. Even if I have to break your legs, I will make you stay.”
"I understand how you feel, but there are still many things you don't understand. There's no right or wrong in relationships, and I have my own difficulties.”
"Hmph, isn't it just that snake demon? If I had known that you would have a change of heart, I wouldn't have let her off!”
"..." Nangong Qian shook his head and lowered his head in silence.
Nangong Kun turned around and left when he saw that the two of them didn't get along.
Nangong Qian felt helpless as he looked at Nangong Kun's back. He held the snake-shaped jade pendant tightly and said softly,"" Second brother, I will help you make the choice you can't make. Perhaps one of us is destined to make a sacrifice, but I won't let that person be yours…"
The sky was completely dark. All the disciples of the Sacred Mountain of Shu Dao had gathered at the Sword Shadow Field. Nangong Kun stood confidently in the center, but Nangong Qian was nowhere to be seen. The Honorable Renwu's eyes revealed a slightly strange light. He stroked his hair beside his ear and said nothing. The surrounding disciples discussed animatedly.
"Eh, why hasn't Senior Brother Nangong appeared yet?”
"That's right. If he doesn't show up, he'll be considered to have forfeited!”
" Senior Brother Nangong is too much. He has such a good wife, but he still wants to compete with his younger brother for the position of a spirit cultivator. I really didn't expect him to be so greedy..."
"Don't say that. Who asked him to have the strength? If you can do it, then go!”
“……”
Hearing the discussions of the people around him, Han Xu couldn't help but start to worry. He searched everywhere for Nangong Qian's figure, but he couldn't find him no matter how hard he tried. He only saw Tang Wan 'er and Huaifeng standing together in the crowd, looking worried.
"Big Brother Li, do you know where Big Brother Qian went?”Han Xu asked Li Li worriedly.
But Li Li shrugged his shoulders and was at a loss.
Just as everyone was discussing, a figure appeared at the side of the Sword Shadow Field and slowly moved toward Nangong Kun.
"Big Brother Qian, you're finally here!" After Han Xu recognized the person, he shouted excitedly.
Tang Wan 'er also saw Nangong Qian. Her brows furrowed together, and her entire body shook. If it wasn't for Huaifeng holding her up, she would definitely have fallen to the ground.
"You still came!" Nangong Kun said in disappointment.
"Yes, you have your mission, and I have my pursuit. It seems that we brothers can't avoid a battle!”
"Although you are the big brother, we both arrived at the Shu Dao Sacred Mountain at the same time. My cultivation is definitely not lower than yours, and your lightning technique happens to be restrained by my fire technique. I advise you to admit defeat. I don't want our good brothers to meet each other.”
"Second brother, since you're still so stubborn, then we can only start a war!”
"You're the one who won't come to your senses!"
Nangong Kun roared and his body was covered in flames. A red talisman opened in front of him and powerful vital essence flowed on the sword shadow field. Countless fiery lights whizzed towards Nangong Qian, but Nangong Qian did not panic. He activated the vital essence under his feet and used the Seven Stars Dipper Steps to help him dodge the incoming red lights.
Nangong Kun was furious when he saw that he missed. He quickly chanted,""Fire God, listen up. All directions come to pay their respects. Exterminate the demons and devils.”
Eight beams of fire suddenly appeared, forming eight symbols representing the Eight Trigrams. Nangong Kun frowned and forced out a drop of blood essence, which turned into a spiritual fire that shone even brighter than before. Nangong Kun waved his arm and eight seals flew towards Nangong Qian. However, every time the seals were about to touch his body, he would use the Seven Stars Dipper Steps to dodge them agilely.
Nangong Kun pushed the spiritual fire in his hand, and the spiritual fire grew rapidly. It formed a huge ball of raging fire and rushed towards Nangong Qian. It moved with Nangong Qian at an extremely fast speed.
Just as the spiritual fire was about to catch up to Nangong Qian, he suddenly stopped moving and chanted,""Water Dragon Borrowing Spell, Vajra Subduing Demon, All Evil Retreats, Water Wall Subduing Demon Circle!”
