"Dashu, did you hear something just now?”Lin Lang asked deliberately, ignoring Huang Jingxiao's request.
"Sister Lang, what's that sound?" Wang Dashu was at a loss. He had only heard Huang Jingxiao's words, but there was no 'voice'. Lin Lang had really asked the 'right' person.
"You guys…!" Huang Jingxiao was furious that the other party dared to ignore him. Huang Jingxiao had no choice but to turn his gaze to Feng Qianqiao, who was standing next to him. His eyes were still filled with a hint of unwillingness and pleading.
Feng Qianqiao was a meticulous person, so she could naturally see Huang Jingxiao's dilemma. However, she did not say anything more. Instead, she turned to look at Lin Xuan. She knew very well who the true core of this team was.
"Forget it, let's go together. Time is limited, reaching the summit is more important." Lin Xuan was not a narrow-minded person. Moreover, at this moment, an additional portion of strength could buy him more time. He immediately agreed.
Seeing that almost all the top fighters in front of the stage had gathered here, more and more contestants volunteered themselves. After a while, all the people who participated in the semi-finals formed a group and faced Jie Ling together. For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with energy and battle intent.
"Everyone, listen up! Since we're already partners, we should be of one mind! Next, please follow the orders and reach the top together!”Lin Xuan's voice was solemn, and everyone had no objections.
"Divide into nine groups. One group will attack, and the other eight groups will seal off all escape routes!”Lin Xuan was not discouraged after his first attack failed. He immediately gave another order. After a short while, the grouping was completed, and the burden of the main attack naturally fell on Lin Xuan and the others.
"Let's fight again!" As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, nine waves of qi essence instantly blasted towards the grade spirit. The one in the center was especially powerful. It was Lin Xuan and the others.
Seeing that it couldn't avoid it, the rank spirit immediately went to meet the relatively weaker one, but it was entangled and couldn't escape. Seeing this situation, the remaining eight groups immediately joined the battle and surrounded them. A moment later, with a loud bang, the spiritual light finally disappeared.
After confirming that they had succeeded, everyone stepped onto the first step. However, before he could circulate his cultivation and regulate his breathing, another ball of spiritual light formed an even larger grade spirit above grade-2, blocking the passage again.
"Could it be that there are nine of these things, and they are getting stronger and stronger?”Cheng Sufeng was shocked. The battle just now wasn't easy. Some people were still pale. Clearly, they had used up a lot of their Qi. However, in all fairness, the rank spirit treated everyone equally and did not deliberately target them. Moreover, survival of the fittest was the rule of martial arts. Those who were weak had nothing to complain about.
"It should be, but I wonder how strong this person is.”Lin Xuan's expression was abnormally solemn.
"At least 20% of the total amount of Qi-Yuan.”Feng Qianqiao said calmly after she finished her calculations. Huang Jingxiao's eyes lit up as he pondered.
"Let's continue fighting!" Lin Xuan replied decisively. However, just as the young man was rearranging, a voice interrupted him.
"Young Master Lin, we're injured quite badly. I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with this round.”One of the wounded said sincerely. The strength of the participants was naturally uneven. The one who spoke was the relatively weaker one among them.
The strength of a rank spirit was determined by the total amount of qi and essence of everyone here. At this moment, the injured person's qi element was close to 50%, and this was only for now. If the strength of a rank spirit was really increased by 10% per rank, the proportion of qi essence in the injured members of their side would definitely increase with each round of battle. One mile away, the enemy would increase. Reaching the top of the rooftop was simply a fool's dream.
"Everyone, please rest assured. Since you have been injured because you have done your best for the team, please rest for a while and wait for the next battle. I will definitely not burn the bridge after crossing it.”Lin Xuan immediately expressed his stance when he heard this. Putting aside the fact that his heart would not allow it, just considering the current situation, working together was the only way to clear the level. The stability of the army was of utmost importance, how could Huang Jingxiao be swayed by his selfishness?
Such righteous words warmed the hearts of the injured. Looking deeply at Lin Xuan and Huang Jingxiao, everyone's evaluation of the two was naturally higher. Feng Qianqiao also looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of approval in her eyes. Although Huang Jingxiao was extremely indignant, he didn't dare to offend the crowd. After all, in this situation, it was absolutely impossible for him to reach the top by himself.
Not only was the morale of the crowd not affected, but it also became even more impassioned. During the rounds of battle, many of the wounded would return to the formation after adjusting their breathing. This cycle repeated, and in less than an hour, everyone had already reached the seventh step.
"The semi-finals are only starting now. I wonder how many of these kids will be left this year.”Qu Tongyou looked at the Dao Verification Stage and sighed with anticipation in his eyes. One had to know that in the history of the Phoenix Feast, there had never been a grand scene where a seventh-tier person had not been eliminated.
Looking at the others, more than half of their top combat strength had been lost. Only Lin Xuan and Feng Qianqiao were uninjured. Including Wang Dashu, who was sitting cross-legged and barely able to fight, and Cheng Sufeng, who was struggling in the array, there were only four people.
Turning to the side of the field, even Huang Jingxiao had just passed the sixth step and could no longer hold on and went down to recuperate. Tie Liuhua, Cui Buxue, and Leng Zuiyue had just performed a secret joint attack with Cheng Sufeng, severely injuring the rank spirit and leaving the stage with a great reputation. As for Lin Lang, he only fought past grade-5 before retreating behind the scenes. At this moment, his face was still haggard, and he was no longer as lively as before.
"If it's just to stall for time, with our current morale, we can barely do it for a short period of time. But persisting for a long time was absolutely impossible. After all, only defending and not attacking would definitely shake the morale of the army.”Lin Xuan calmly analyzed and answered truthfully.
When Lin Xuan heard this, he was not suspicious or asked in detail. Feng Qianqiao must have a good plan to defeat the enemy, but it was not convenient for her to say it out loud. At that moment, Lin Xuan decisively promised and led all the remaining people who could fight to attack the grade-8 spirit. For a moment, they actually attacked more than they defended, and the battle was really soul-stirring.
"Those who are seriously injured, retreat immediately! Everyone else, step back. Please gather your qi essence into my body!”Before the time was up, Lin Xuan immediately gritted his teeth and shouted!
As soon as he finished speaking, waves of qi essence instantly surged into Lin Xuan's body from behind. The strength varied, but they were all extremely gentle and filled with trust. In an instant, Lin Xuan's clothes fluttered, and the platinum gun was unprecedentedly dazzling. Glancing at the attacking rank spirits, the youth raised his spear and went up to meet them.
"Haha! Again!" Laughing wildly, Lin Xuan did not care about his injuries at all. He actually relied on his high fighting spirit to charge forward again. Unknowingly, the youth became more and more courageous, and had already exchanged more than ten blows with the Jie Ling.
"Big brother! Young Master Lin!" Lin Lang immediately cried out. Wang Dashu even picked up his iron rod and was about to get up. The four young masters of Yixian also hurried to regulate their breathing, wishing they could immediately join the battle.
At this moment, everyone behind him had long been completely subdued by Lin Xuan. They saw the latter was like a god of war, smiling wantonly and ostentatiously in front of the tier spirit. His silver robe was embellished with blood, and it was extremely stunning.
"Young Master Lin, sorry for waiting!" With a clear shout, Feng Qianqiao, who had been preparing for a long time, gathered all her energy and drew out a dark green sword from the purple-gold phoenix belt at her waist. Then, she rushed toward Jie Ling.
"Swoosh!" On the grandstand, King Bai Ling suddenly stood up in shock. He no longer had his previous arrogant attitude.
"This is…the Holy Sword Kiss of our ancestor, the Phoenix Empress?!”King Bai Ling's expression was flustered and his tone was respectful. At the same time, his heart was in turmoil. He had already guessed Feng Qianqiao's true identity.
Returning to the arena, Feng Qianqiao quickly passed Lin Xuan and arrived in front of Jie Ling. With a light kiss, spiritual light bloomed in the arena. Then, the body of the rank spirit gradually dissipated in the light and disappeared without a trace in a moment.
Before anyone could react, Feng Qianqiao fell backward. Looking over, the young girl's face was pale, it was clearly because of the consumption of the killer move. When Lin Xuan saw this, he instantly returned to his senses and strode forward to support her. The other party looked at him with a smile in his eyes and then fainted.
" What are you doing?!" Wang Dashu shouted and swung his staff at Huang Jingxiao. However, the latter suddenly attacked and stabbed at Lin Lang. The young man happened to be recuperating at the side, so he immediately protected his little sister behind him.
"Nosy!" Huang Jingxiao didn't get too entangled with Wang Dashu. With a flash, he attacked Tie Liuhua and the other two. It seemed that he would severely injure them. At the critical moment, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed the dark dagger that was aimed at his comrade.
"Answer me first!" At the same time, Wang Dashu's furious roar exploded like thunder.
