A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 209: Chapter 177: The Foundation Establishment Opportunity Has Arrived

However, from the current situation, Ling Xuzi holds the advantage, and the rolling snake tide is more likely to find Lu Qian first.

”Little imp, this place is only so big, how long can you hide?” Seeing the snake tide continuously pouring into the Spiritual Mist, Ling Xuzi uttered a complacent hiss, ”Prepare to die! I’ll twist off your head and see if you’re still so stubborn after death!”

This half-human, half-snake monster had already lost his mind, forgetting this was an arena and directly issued a death proclamation. As the referee, Zhuang Qing frowned deeply, his fingers slightly trembled within the large sleeves, secretly preparing several Spirit Talismans.

Given the current relations between the two parties, if Lu Qian were to be defeated, he really would need some saving.

However, when the time comes, Guh Niqiang from Yunshan Sect should also intervene, saving Lu Qian wouldn’t be a big problem...

Also, what’s Lady Ji from Divine Flood Dragon Sect thinking? How come she didn’t inform Ling Xuzi in advance? If Ling Xuzi indeed strikes with lethal intent, would the relationships between Divine Flood Dragon Sect and Yunshan Sect undergo drastic changes? Then would we, from Spirit Talisman Sect, be able to play a role...

”Who said I’m hiding? I have the Spirit Crystal in hand, with endless Spiritual Qi.” Lu Qian’s calm voice emerged from the Spiritual Mist, ”And you? How much Spiritual Power do you have left? You dare to use such a large-scale Secret Technique, what a fool.”

Ling Xuzi instantly flew into a rage, smashing the stone slabs on the ground with a crunch, yet inside, an urgent flame was intensely burning, causing his breathing to become heavy.

Lu Qian hit his sore spot, sacrificing one of the two heads, he has already spent quite a bit, constantly activating Dao Patterns to avoid Array attacks, all the while maintaining such a vast Secret Technique, now indeed his remaining Spiritual Power is not much.

In the next moment, a frantic cry emanated from the mist, Fire, Wood, and Earth Spirit Qi intermingled, a platinum fireball suddenly emerged, and with a mighty shake, a ten-foot-tall Three-legged Golden Crow appeared, spreading its wings, the blazing fire burned away more than half of the snake tide on the ground.

Lu Qian’s newly mastered Triple Transformation, Bing Fire Divine Crow!

”Despicable! Shameless!” Ling Xuzi cursed vehemently, realizing Lu Qian intends to exhaust him to death, how can he let him succeed!

He desperately drove the snake tide, large swaths of black snakes were burned, yet ultimately some small snakes borrowed each other’s power to bypass. The next moment, he joyfully shouted, ”Found you!”

A few small snakes had locked onto Lu Qian’s figure. A flash of black light, Ling Xuzi instantly appeared behind Lu Qian, his snake mouth gleamed with cold light, biting a longsword drenched in black poison, stabbing toward Lu Qian’s back, simultaneously black mist around him exploded, eight pitch-black snake heads shot out like lightning, biting toward Lu Qian.

Ling Xuzi heard the clinking sound, it was the sound of the Xin Metal Divine Lock rolling up. But it didn’t matter now, as long as this strike kills Lu Qian.

But his snake pupils met with Lu Qian’s calm eyes.

Suddenly, another voice came from behind him, ”Fool, I’m here.”

The Lu Qian before him was an incarnation, the true body was behind!

Yet Ling Xuzi’s expression showed ecstasy, his body twisted mid-air, joints crackling, bones shifting entirely, in an instant the snake heads twisted 180 degrees, all attacks immediately redirected, fiercely biting onto the Lu Qian behind him!

Unexpectedly, my snake body can freely change attack directions.

Nonetheless, the Lu Qian bitten suddenly turned into mist and dissipated!

Fear filled Ling Xuzi’s snake pupils instantaneously, this was the true incarnation!

He then realized Lu Qian’s intention to provoke him was precisely to make him impulsive, eager for success. And that Bing Fire Divine Crow was not merely attacking the snake tide but also increased the temperature of the field to an extremely scorching state, directly disrupting his temperature perception, unable to discern true body from incarnation, thus allowing Lu Qian to deceive him again.

”Little imp—”

With a loud noise, twelve Xin Metal Divine Locks had securely bound Ling Xuzi, Lu Qian waved his hand, Heavenly Torrent Spiritual Mist completely dissipated, Spiritual Qi transferred into the Bing Fire Divine Crow, which grew several feet larger again, cawing as it descended upon Ling Xuzi!

This blow will surely incinerate his remaining snake head.

Suddenly a white light flashed!

A graceful silhouette blocked in front of Ling Xuzi, an icy chill surged skyward, a previously delicate jade hand turned green, heavily striking the Bing Fire Divine Crow.

With a boom, the platinum flames soared high, Lu Qian retreated several steps, watching as huge waves of icy breath flowed out, like a massive net, slowly calming the flames down.

The fire extinguished, Ji Yunrou’s figure appeared, she looked at Lu Qian and gently chuckled.

”Lady Ji, what do you mean?”

”Sect Leader Lu, we concede!” Ji Yunrou blocked in front of Ling Xuzi, her watery eyes full of admiration, ”Sect Leader Lu, you’re really incredible, I knew you would definitely win.”

Clearly, it was their elder who lost, but her tone and expression made it seem as though she had been a steadfast supporter of Lu Qian all along, even this shamelessness earned Lu Qian’s admiration.

Since Ji Yunrou publicly conceded on the stage, there was no possibility of further action. Lu Qian extended his hand, Xin Metal Divine Locks quietly dissipated, five Jade Seal Array Bases of varying shapes shot back, returning with the Array Map into his arms, he bowed to Ji Yunrou, ”Apologies for the uncontrollable performance during the arena exhibition, nearly severed Ling Xuzi, please forgive me.”

Ling Xuzi was fuming with rage, about to curse, yet was stopped by Ji Yunrou.

Ji Yunrou giggled, ”We’re all one family, no need to mind. My family’s Third Elder’s Double-Headed Snake Spirit has unique intricacies, as long as one head remains, the other will regrow, it’s not a problem.”

Lu Qian was slightly shocked internally, this Ling Xuzi truly is a challenging character. And Ji Yunrou deliberately didn’t disclose the changing relations between two families earlier, allowing Ling Xuzi to attack with full intent to kill, probing Lu Qian’s strength, yet now she openly shared Ling Xuzi’s information, seemingly in goodwill, truly puzzling as to her thoughts.

With this woman, one must really be extra cautious.

Ji Yunrou released a stream of Spiritual Power, helping Ling Xuzi up, softly saying, ”Sect Leader Lu, now that you’ve won, make sure to find me, I will reward you well.”

Her enchanting eyes and alluring voice felt like feathers brushing against the heart, inducing itchiness. Lu Qian found it difficult to resist, so he turned away, no longer looking at her.

Ji Yunrou giggled, carrying Ling Xuzi and flew back to the box.

Zhuang Qing entered the arena, loudly announcing, ”This battle ends, winner, Yunshan Sect Leader, Lu Qian!”

The resonant voice echoed throughout the stadium.

”Junior Brother won!” ”Sect Leader won!” Inside Yunshan Sect’s box, Jiang Qingfeng and others were overjoyed, cheering and jubilant.

”Since we won, let’s just beat him up next time.” Guh Niqiang recalled the Bing Fire Divine Crow, and rare was a smile appearing on her usually cold face.

In Spirit Talisman Sect’s box, Yinn Hongbo snorted. This brat again stole the show, but his Array Cultivation is truly becoming increasingly adept.

In Shahe Gang’s box, Han Wen, with a distraught Honored Guest Zhang, was preparing to leave. His face looked grim, lacking the usual cheerful smile. With two years left on the five-year peace treaty, was that Innate Spirit Storage Pill given wrongly back then?

In the boxes of Kong Family Castle and Shouzhuo Sect, Kong Pengfei and Qin Zhiyi both sighed deeply, a strong sense of helplessness rising within. What they witnessed today must be reported back.

Previously, when visiting Yunshan Sect, they thought their gap with Lu Qian only lied in status and merits, but today proved otherwise; the cultivation gap between them and Lu Qian was like heaven and earth, any of the attacks in the arena they couldn’t hope to defend against. From now on, how could they still claim to be youthful geniuses?

Meanwhile, in the audience of the Grand Arena, two thousand watching cultivators fell silent for a moment. The next instant, cheers erupted like sparks igniting a vat of oil, bursting into a wave of acclamation! Applause thundered, voices roared, the entire building shook violently under the sound waves.

Even though most had lost their Spirit Stone stakes, they earnestly praised Lu Qian for winning brilliantly, winning beautifully!

With Qi Cultivation, winning unscathed against a Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar, truly remarkable!

Lu Qian saluted to the surrounding audience, the cheers intensified, with his miraculous performance he had won everyone’s admiration.

In that moment, two thousand pairs of eyes focused on the same figure, two thousand hearts were shouting the same name.

Lu Qian! Lu Qian! Lu Qian!

In that instant, a profound vibration transmitted mysteriously from the void, conveying magical information, Lu Qian suddenly widened his eyes.

My Foundation Establishment opportunity has arrived!
