Xiao Xuan was a little embarrassed.
But he took a deep breath and said again, "He Pingsheng, that last move was pure luck for you. You just happened to Cultivate an attribute that countered mine!"
"If you had encountered an ordinary Cultivator, you might have been able to stand undefeated!" Xiao Xuan's expression remained disdainful: "However, your luck is also a bit bad, because this Time, you've encountered me!"
"Do you know what an Empty Spiritual Root is?"
"An Empty Spiritual Root is something you can never counter!"
"An Empty Spiritual Root is formless and shapeless, yet takes on all forms and shapes!"
"You tried to use earth to counter water against me!"
"Then you are greatly mistaken..."
"Let me show you what true countering is!"
As he spoke, Xiao Xuan lightly pushed off with his foot, and his entire body shot into the Void Realm.
Then, the Qi on his body suddenly changed.
The ice attribute instantly transformed into a wood attribute.
"Gather..."
He shouted loudly, and seven long arrows condensed before him again.
However, this Time they were not ice arrows, but seven green bamboo slips!
To be precise, these were not bamboo slips at all, but rather formless arrows condensed from wood attribute spiritual power.
"Oh my god..."
The people on the viewing platform immediately erupted again.
"It's still the Divine Ability of Seven Arrows Fall on Tianshan Mountain."
"The Empty Spiritual Root is truly too Heaven-Defying; it can actually manifest this Divine Ability with wood attribute spiritual power!"
"Formless and shapeless, yet taking on all forms and shapes, it's indeed extraordinary!"
"The Empty Spiritual Root is Heaven-Defying!"
"Wood counters earth!" Xiao Xuan shouted, saying, "Break for me..."
This Time, he didn't hesitate but released all seven arrows at once.
Seven green lights shot towards He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng was not afraid!
He took a deep breath, and at the same Time, the magical power within his body circulated.
The earth attribute Dantian stopped operating, and the spiritual power within the Golden Attribute Dantian surged out.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Outside He Pingsheng's body, the Earth Armor Technique disappeared, replaced by a circular membrane shield of light.
Spell: Vajra Shield!
Clang clang clang...
The seven bamboo arrows once again struck the shield.
The dazzling Time on the Vajra Shield dimmed slightly, but it was not pierced through.
It was blocked again.
"Holy crap..." On the stands, someone already cursed: "This... this... this guy actually Cultivated Golden spiritual power?"
"Dual Cultivation of metal and earth?"
"Oh my god... metal counters wood, another counter!"
"This is getting interesting!"
"This match is going to be something to watch!"
Qiao Huizhu, on the stands, also took a reassurance pill.
He Pingsheng's performance could be said to be far beyond her expectations.
Further back, in a higher position, sat two people.
One was the Red-Clothed Elder of the Ice Peak Sect, and the other was Ancestral Master Chongyang of the Tai Xu Sect.
Immortal Master Chongyang stroked his beard with a laugh.
This situation was something he had not anticipated.
After these two moves, it could be said that the Tai Xu Sect had held its ground.
Even if they lost later, it wouldn't be a disgrace.
"Hahahahaha..." Immortal Master Chongyang couldn't help but laugh.
But the Red-Clothed Elder next to him had a gloomy expression.
He had a bad feeling.
"Fellow Daoist Chongyang!" The Red-Clothed Elder said, "Your Tai Xu Sect's fighting style is a bit shameless, isn't it?"
"Huh?" Immortal Master Chongyang was a little surprised and said, "Your Disciple attacks, our Disciple defends, with give and take, how can you call it shameless?"
"This old man doesn't know why Fellow Daoist Ice Mysterious would say such a thing!"
Ice Mysterious, dressed in red, said, "These are all competitions; how can there be only defense and no offense?"
Immortal Master Chongyang said, "Fellow Daoist Ice Mysterious is mistaken. When fighting others, the first priority is to stand undefeated, and only then can one counterattack. Shouldn't it be like this?"
...
On the arena!
Xiao Xuan trembled with anger: "Again!"
Bang...
Another seven arrows condensed.
This Time, they were fire arrows of the fire attribute.
The power of the Empty Spiritual Root was fully displayed; it could simulate any attribute, and the spiritual power within the body could instantly transform into any attribute.
And there was no discount whatsoever.
Seven fire attribute arrows flew towards He Pingsheng again.
Fire counters metal!
This Time, it was Xiao Xuan countering He Pingsheng.
However, the magical power within He Pingsheng's body circulated again, returning to the earth attribute.
Spell: Earth Armor Technique!
No choice, He Pingsheng didn't have water attribute armor, otherwise he could have continued to counter.
But it didn't matter.
I don't have water attribute armor, but I still have earth attribute.
Earth and fire do not counter each other!
It just depends on strength.
Bang... bang... bang...
This Time, because there was no countering relationship, the opposing fire arrows appeared exceptionally powerful.
The luster on the Earth Armor Technique that He Pingsheng had conjured almost dimmed to its extreme.
However!
He still managed to block it.
It wasn't broken.
"Open..." He Pingsheng took a deep breath, and the earth attribute magical power within his body continued to surge out. In an instant, the already dimmed Earth Armor Technique outside his body was instantly reignited.
Bang...
Xiao Xuan, who was in the Void Realm, landed on the ground again.
He looked at He Pingsheng in shock, unable to speak.
If his previous attacks being blocked could be attributed to the Five Elements countering relationship.
But just now, he used a fire attribute attack, and the opponent used an earth attribute for defense.
There was no countering relationship between fire and earth.
The other party simply defended with a solid Qi shield.
Then... this guy's magical power within his body must be profound.
The key is, this Qi shield is not simple.
To be able to defend against my Ice Peak Sect's secret art with just a Qi shield, the level of this Qi shield must not be low.
Xiao Xuan was in a dilemma.
Because the three waves of attacks just now had consumed a large amount of magical power within his body.
A full thirty percent.
In other words, he could still unleash this type of attack seven more Times.
If he couldn't defeat the enemy within seven Times, then he would be in danger.
No!
Can't fight like this!
Must make the opponent give up defense, seize the opportunity, and kill with one blow.
Otherwise, there's no hope of defeating the opponent.
"Hey..." Xiao Xuan pointed at He Pingsheng; "You're fighting like a turtle, that's unreasonable!"
He Pingsheng opened a bright golden shield and asked, "What's unreasonable about it?"
"One attacks and one defends, isn't that how it should be?"
"Could it be that when you attack, you don't allow me to defend?"
"If you can't break my shield, then you can admit defeat!"
He Pingsheng spoke calmly, but these words sounded particularly harsh in Xiao Xuan's ears.
I can't break your shield?
I admit defeat?
"Good, good, good..."
"He Pingsheng..."
"This is you seeking death... then don't blame me..."
"Open!" Xiao Xuan, enraged, roared. His face instantly turned crimson.
From between his eyebrows, a drop of blood even seeped out from his skin.
"No!" The Red-Clothed Elder outside saw Xiao Xuan doing this and stood up with a start, saying, "Xiao Xuan, don't..."
What Xiao Xuan was currently performing was a secret art of the Ice Peak Sect, not passed down, named: Refining Essence into Qi.
After performing this secret art, a Cultivator could temporarily increase their combat power by thirty percent, but the cost was the consumption of a large amount of their own vital blood and Origin.
Although this cost would not lead to death, it would require at least three years to recover.
