The gentle and virtuous temperament that once was, now carried only a thick layer of worry.
Luo Chen probably understood her feelings.
That Min Longyu who just fought was too bizarre. It seemed like he was laying down a formation using the Array Flag, but the triggering method of the Array Flag wasn’t networked into a formation.
Instead, it was a form of formation that resembled a counterattack.
The enemy, not knowing the details, unknowingly tried to destroy the Array Flag and inadvertently hastened the formation of the golden light saber formation.
For such a tactic, it wasn’t just Han Dang who was caught off guard.
The nine cultivators from the Broken Mountain Gang, whoever ran into it, would likely suffer a defeat.
Now, the promising start the Broken Mountain Gang wished for the battle was gone.
In contrast, the upper hand was now in the possession of the Great Lake Gang.
“I hope that the upcoming battles go smoothly!”
Luo Chen sighed in his heart. He was standing on the side of the Broken Mountain Gang and hoped subconsciously that they would win.
As for the following three battles, the outcome didn’t exceed most people’s expectations.
Simply because the three fighters representing the Great Lake Gang were all members of their own gang, and all the cultivators in The Great River District were familiar with them.
The atmosphere wasn’t as tense as before. Perhaps because they saw the outcome of Han Dang’s battle, the hall masters sent out by the Broken Mountain Gang have been more cautious.
The second one was Luo Wudi, who was also known as the Downhill Tiger and also surnamed Luo, a relative of Luo Chen.
His performance was in line with his nickname, like a tiger descending down a hill, he launched a fierce attack on his opponent.
It took less than three minutes for him to win.
The third battle was also won by Long Panhu. His winning method was a Top Grade Magic Tool.
Murong Qinglian explained that it was frequently used by Mi Shuhua, and was specially borrowed this time.
Luckily they won. If they had lost, this Top Grade Magic Tool would have become the winnings of the opponent.
By the fourth battle, Luo Chen became interested!
Because the contestant was his regular customer, Friend Zeng Wen!
And his opponent was the only female cultivator among the eighteen contestants, Luo Chanu from the Great Lake Gang.
“Sister-in-law, how do you see this battle going?”
Because the Broken Mountain Gang had won two rounds in a row, their earlier low spirits had improved greatly.
Murong Qinglian brushed her hair aside, smiling as she said, “As long as we’re up against a member of the Great Lake Gang, we can basically win.”
This statement held true!
The Broken Mountain Gang’s cultivators were used to fighting against demon beasts on the mountains.
Their battle experiences were absolutely rich compared to their peers.
On the other hand, the Great Lake Gang uses water routes all year round. Even though they also encounter demon beasts and Calamity Cultivators, most of their battles are fought on water.
Some unique skills, when displayed in this limited Dao Debate Platform environment, often fail to meet expectations.
“Friend Zeng Wen is highly skilled in combat. In his early years, he was injured by someone which caused his Dantian to break and cut off his path in cultivation.”
“People thought that he had given up on himself and indulged in lust all day.”
“But they don’t know that he has polished various combat methods at the Qi Refinement Stage until he mastered them.”
“To send a woman into battle now, perhaps underestimates him a bit.”
Murong Qinglian talked confidently, to show that she had faith in Zeng Wen.
I can’t believe that that old ladybug gives people such a sense of security!
Luo Chen couldn’t help sighing, he certainly had had too many prejudices against him.
Next time when selling Allure Pills, he must definitely give Friend Zeng a discount.
On the stage, facing Luo Chanu, Zeng Wen had a smile on his face.
“Your Great Lake Gang is really generous, sending such a beauty to kill me.”
“It’s just a pity, I who always love and cherish flowers, today I’m afraid I will mishandle a flower.”
Luo Chanu was as beautiful as her name suggested.
Especially her pair of eyes shone so brightly, they could blind a person.
Faced with Zeng Wen’s provocation, Luo Chanu looked ice-cold.
“Today you will die under peony flowers and become a ghost!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a crescent moon flying knife magic tool shot out directly, and several talismans were simultaneously ignited.
On the other side, Zeng Wen was composed and launched his defensive magic tool, simultaneously activating his Ascendant Grade Robes for defense, and even casting a golden barrier with his hand.
Three layers of defense, as steady as an old dog.
Even Luo Chen, after seeing this, couldn’t help but gasp!
His Soul Breaking Nail, I’m afraid, couldn’t penetrate such a tight defense.
The crescent moon flying knife magic tool was incredibly sharp, but after several collisions, it couldn’t hurt Zeng Wen.
As for those fireballs and wind blades demonstrated by the talismans, under the lead of the crescent moon flying knife, they managed to pierce through only two layers of defense.
When they hit the robes, they felt like a gentle breeze.
Zeng Wen had a smile on his face and his hands kept moving. Now it was his turn to attack!
Composedly he shot out nine talismans.
The rules limit the use to ten talismans, and he just used them all.
While Luo Chanu was busy dealing with the attacks, he formed a technique with his hand. Suddenly, a Marsh Technique took form.
The ground suddenly turned into a swamp, soft and soggy, with countless giant hands stretching out from it, trying to pull the enemy into it.
Luo Chanu was forced to fly into the sky.
However, shadows covered the sky!
Unbeknownst to her, Zeng Wen’s ascendant-grade attack magic tool has already been put in place.
A large yellow brick was descending upon her.
Bang!
She and her cover were directly smashed into the mud pit.
In just a few breaths, countless hand grabbed her, turning Luo Chanu into a muddy mess.
“What a pity, to compete on such a platform. If it were elsewhere, I would definitely have a three-hundred-round battle with you.”
“This time, it was rather quick.”
Zeng Wen looked a bit pale, and his smile was forced.
Using so many tricks in one go, even with his Qi power, he almost couldn’t hold on.
But in the end, he won.
He turned around and shouted to the Broken Mountain Gang’s stand: “01′ Mi, Sick Tiger hasn’t let you down today. You promised me the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion package for a month, don’t break your promise!”
Having said this, he staggered off the Dao Debate Platform.
On the stand, Mi Shuhua, was now all smiles. With three consecutive victories, they were already on steady ground.
The other spectators were screaming in excitement.
Although this fight was one-sided, Zeng Wen’s tactics were calm, carefully planned and executed.
There were talismans, defensive magic tools, offense magic tools, and the use of spells. He even provoked his opponent with his words before the battle.
One could say, he perfectly showcased most of the tactics a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator could use.
Many cultivators watched thoughtfully.
They felt they could learn from such fighting strategies to effectively command all their own combat powers.
Luo Chen was also excited. After thoroughly analyzing Zeng Wen’s tactics, he felt that whoever was put in Luo Chanu’s position would struggle to escape the same fate.
First defend, establish an undefeatable position.
Then hurl a large amount of talismans, forcing the opponent to be exhausted from dealing with them.
Next, use a swamp spell to block the enemy’s retreat, then force them into the direction of the triggered offensive magic tool.
Finally, the large yellow brick settles the result.
It was steady, accurate, and ruthless.
Of course, this set of attacks also had shortcomings. If the enemy had a powerful attack tactic, it could easily suppress them at the beginning.
If they have a unique magic tool that can change the battlefield, such as the Array Flag in the first match, victory could be overturned.
Overall, this tactical thinking can be learned from.
The time for the insiders to steam in excitement didn’t last long.
Because the crucial fifth battle was about to begin.
The Broken Mountain Gang was confident about this battle.
Xu Renke, the Broken Blade, was a venerable name in several markets.
This kind of rogue cultivator, with numerous techniques and formidable fighting strength, wasn’t lacking courage to fight for his life.
And his opponent, Jiang Dragon Gao Tingyuan, was a lesser contender, merely a minor celebrity on Lancang River.
Compared to the Broken Mountain Gang’s confidence, the atmosphere on the Great Lake Gang’s side was quite tense.
They did achieve a winning start.
But the subsequent battles were not so successful. They’ve lost three in a row, which is numbing!
“Friend Wang, it seems like the elites of your gang are not up to the mark!”
A message reached Wang Haichao’s ear making him look quite displeased.
For this battle, the Great Lake Gang fielded five of their own men, and the Lianyun Business Union supported them with four.
When he arranged the order of appearance earlier, aside from allowing Min Longyu of the Lianyun Business Union to go first in the first round, the following five fights were all taken up by the Great Lake Gang. The remaining cultivators from the Lianyun Business Union were placed last.
Such an arrangement was to provide opportunity for his side.
Just win one or two more rounds, and he would gain some advantage when dealing with the Lianyun Business Union later.
But now, they had lost three rounds in a row.
The first two losses were acceptable as there wasn’t much hope to begin with.
But Luo Chanu’s clean loss was truly unexpected.
Wasn’t it said that Sick Tiger Zeng Wen had given up on his cultivation path, indulging himself in sensual pleasure, and that his power had declined to a tiny fraction of what it once was?
That round moon flying knife Luo Chanu wielded was an ascendant-grade unique magical tool he bestowed upon her.
Back in the day, he spent more than 3000 Spirit Stones to get it from the Wanbao Pavilion.
It didn’t even make a showing before ending up with someone else.
Irritation aside, he did not feel overly anxious.
“Elder Zhou, haven’t we already calculated that we can secure seven out of the nine fights? Now we’ve just lost one more round with Luo Chanu, but the remaining ones will be won without fail!”
At his immovable confidence, Elder Zhou, whose whereabouts were unknown, chuckled lightly.
“Are you sure?”
“As far as I know, Xu Renke’s broken blade is a piece of a Magic Item. Even if it can only trigger one percent of its power, your men will not be able to withstand it.”
Wang Haichao’s mouth curved into a small smile: “No matter how strong a magic item remnant is, can it be stronger than a Spirit Stone?”
“Oh, it seems you’ve made preparations early! I shall watch then!”
