After the top fifty were decided, Ning Cheng’s qualification board lit up again. On it was already information given about Ning Cheng’s next match, the eleventh match against number twenty-nine.
Ning Cheng knew that his opponent number twenty-nine was slightly stronger than Black Spotted Face and his magic treasure was a Four Elephant Divine Fire Flag.
Among all the bouts, the strength of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su was clearly higher than the rest of the participating cultivators by a large margin. However, Ning Cheng had also seen that not all of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su had participated in the competition. At least the ones he knew of, Qu Baiyi and Huo Erqi, did not participate. Ning Cheng did not know whether Huo Erqi was alive or dead, but Ning Cheng knew that Qu Baiyi was still alive.
Among the Twelve Sons of Tai Su who participated in the competition, except for Night Luo Ping who lost, the rest of the participants Lu Yixian, Guo Hao Ge, Ji Pingzhong, Yin Yin and Ke Ke Lou Xie all won. In other words, apart from Qu Baiyi and Huo Erqi, four of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su did not participate in the Tai Su Grand Tournament.
The first twenty-five fights had become significantly longer, and judging from the competition scenes, the strength of the participating cultivators had been raised a notch. The many cultivators in the square were mesmerised as they watched the participants fighting on the stage. Ning Cheng, however, could not raise his enthusiasm, as the people he had been fighting with were all strong people of half-step Dao-shaping strength. The Eternal Cultivators who had come to compete here were all the best, but they were still a far cry from the half-step Dao-shaping ones.
In the eleventh match, Ning Cheng was once again on the field. His opponent was number twenty-nine, a thin, short male cultivator with only a late Eternal cultivation.
When this man came up, he did not hesitate to say anything about the enamel of the widow. .c≯ om拢苯蛹莱鏊南笊笊笊笊笊笊212 砥鹨淮笃 幕鹧妗u 鰲鰲鹧胯 槌闪思竿坊鹣螅 剐纬闪艘桓龌鹣蟠笳蠊 ∧ cha?br/>
Naturally, Ning Cheng would not talk nonsense and sacrificed his spear to kill with this skinny male cultivator. Whether it was a formation or a flame. To Ning Cheng. Neither had any threat.
On the surface, it seemed that both of them were almost fighting for their lives. The gun shadows and flames were criss-crossing and intense. Only Ning Cheng himself knew how much effort he had put forth. What gave him a slight relief was that the divine senses of those powerful cultivators on the main stage were unable to penetrate the tournament stage, otherwise, he really wouldn’t have dared to do so.
Even so, Ning Cheng suspected that someone had seen that he had not used his full strength. However, Ning Cheng wasn’t worried, it wasn’t like he was the only cultivator who didn’t use his full strength in such a competition. People like Yatian and Lu Yixian had not used their full strength. Nor did he care about one more.
……
Because of the Tai Su Grand Competition, Tian Su Holy City was very lively. Even some of the strongest people who were always in seclusion had come here. Naturally, they did not come here to watch the Great Competition, but to take advantage of this opportunity to participate in some item exchanges, or auctions.
Every time the Great Competition of Tai Su was held, the most lively thing was not necessarily the Competition itself, but the various trade fairs that accompanied it.
Only the Barbarian Dragon Clan’s Barbarian Huishan remained in Tai Su Market. He had been to the location of the Tai Su Mysterious Realm teleportation array a month ago when it opened, because his son, Barbarian Jiu Ren, had been beheaded in the Tai Su Mysterious Realm. It was only the cultivators who came out of the secret realm. All of them were famous and had names and origins. From these cultivators, he also did not find any traces left behind from the killing of Barbarian Jiu Ren.
He hurriedly investigated. After failing to find the murderer, he could only continue to return to Tai Su Ruin and search around for Ning Cheng who possessed the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow. His son could not be revived after death, and he did not have only one son in Savage Jiu Ren. Right now, the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow was a little more important to him.
In the past year or so, he had not made no progress, at least he had found that the Lifeless Poison Hand had once appeared in the Tai Su Ruins. At this moment, he was searching for the Lifeless Poison Hand with all his might, as long as he found the Lifeless Poison Hand, then he would have news of whether Ning Cheng was dead or alive.
On the day of the Great Taisu Competition, Barbarian Huishan was drinking tea at a rest house in Taisu Market when a message landed on his communication bead.
The message said that the results of the top twenty-five in the Great Tai Su Competition had already been given, and this message was giving the names of the top twenty-five in the Great Tai Su Competition.
When he scanned the message, he did not see any disciples from the Barbarian Dragon Clan. Despite being disappointed in his heart, Savage Huishan knew that this was no surprise. The Barbarian Dragon Clan had no successor, so it was normal for no one to break into the top twenty-five.
When he was about to put down the communication beads, he suddenly saw a more familiar name, JI He, a rank eight Dan Emperor.
This JI He he knew was a tiny Dan Emperor who had been trapped in the secret realm for 60,000 years at the same time as Qi XIII Xing of the Xuan Yue Divine Sect.
Because the secret realm had opened, among the cultivators who had been transported out, only JI and Qi XIII Xing had odd identities. He also made it a point to observe JI He, and even had other people inquire about JI He.
The final conclusion was that JI He was indeed not a fake. After all, there were many dangerous places in the Tai Su Secret Realm, and it was not necessarily that Barbarian Jiu Ren had been killed by another cultivator, or he might have broken into something and ended up not coming out.
He had investigated JIH and realised that JIH was only an alchemist and his true strength was not very high. Not to mention entering the top number of the Tai Su Grand Competition, even if he pulled a random late Eternal cultivator out, I was afraid that he could still defeat JI He.
And now he had the news in his hands that JI He had entered the top twenty-five in the Great Tai Su Competition. The first reaction of Barbarian Huishan when he saw this news was that JI He was a fake, which meant that JI He might be someone else’s disguise.
It was true that one could get chance in the Tai Su Secret Realm, but such a surge in combat power, explained purely by chance, was a bit odd.
Barbarian Huishan no longer had the heart to drink tea as he sent out two direct messages.
The first message was sent to the Silver Light Fortress, and the second to a message asking for images of JI He’s battle.
Qu Baiyi, one of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su, was from the Silver Light Fort. The reason why Barbarian Huishan sent this message was because he inquired about an extremely strong nameless powerhouse that Qu Baiyi had met in the secret realm of Tai Su. This nameless strongman’s cultivation level appeared to be less than Eternal Perfection at all, while his strength could easily crush Qu Baiyi and Huo Erqi, one of the Twelve Sons of Tai Su.
It was just that this strong man did not come out of the secret realm later, and according to Qu Baiyi, was devoured by the Human Faced Poison Centipede. Barbarian Huishan had also asked some other cultivators, and indeed someone had seen a human-faced poisonous centipede chasing and killing a cultivator. Now that Savage Huishan associated it with JI and disguise, he naturally guessed that the nameless strong man had also disguised himself.
A few moments later, both messages came back. Qu Baiyi said that the nameless strongman’s magic weapon was a long spear, and that the spear pattern was particularly powerful. And the image he received of JI He’s battle was clearly also a long spear, although the spear pattern was average, and again, he was using it against his enemy.
Barbarian Huishan did not know what magic weapon JI He had used before, and he was not in the mood to investigate. That nameless powerhouse had obtained a large number of divine spirit grasses in the divine spirit grass medicinal garden, and JI He had likewise obtained a place in the Great Tai Su Competition with the display of divine spirit grasses. When these were connected, he was 80% sure that the nameless strongman who had overpowered Qu Baiyi was JI He, or rather someone who had disguised himself as JI He.
Barbarian Huishan slapped the coffee table in front of him into crumbs and suddenly stood up. He left the matter of finding Ning Cheng and the Lifeless Poisoner in the Tai Su Market to a few of his followers, while he himself rushed towards the teleportation formation. He wanted to teleport to the Great Competition Square in Tian Su Sacred City as quickly as possible. He had some regrets in his heart as to why he hadn’t thought about the appearance of a large amount of divine Spirit Grasses in the Spiritual Medicine Garden in the first place.
No matter if this guy who had disguised himself as JI He was the murderer of Barbarian Jiu Ren, he would have taken this person away. If there was no ghost in his heart, why did he have to disguise himself as JI He?
Not to mention that the other party was a casual cultivator, even if he was really a disciple of the Xuan Yue Divine Sect, he would still take him down and ask him about it.
……
Qu Baiyi did not go to the Tiansu Holy City to watch the Great Tai Su Competition, nor did he participate. After escaping from the secret realm, after not finding the cultivator who had snatched a large amount of divine Spirit Grass, he went straight back to close down and heal his wounds.
Now that Barbarian Huishan had sent a message to the Silver Light Fortress asking about the magic treasure used by the nameless strong man who had snatched the medicinal garden in the secret realm, he was somewhat puzzled in his heart. Even though he was one of the twelve sons of Tai Su, he was still far from being able to talk to him. Last time, it was only because of the investigation into the fall of Barbarian Jiu Ren that Barbarian Huishan had sent someone to the Silver Light Fort to ask about some information.
This time, it was clear that the matter was not that simple as he had personally sent a message to Silver Light Fortress.
Without waiting for him to think this through, the people of Silver Light Fort already knew why Barbarian Huishan was asking. For cultivators who could enter the top twenty-five in the Great Tai Su Competition, Silver Light Fort would naturally be very concerned. Even if Barbarian Huishan didn’t ask, after a longer period of time, JI He’s gun pattern would be associated by them with the nameless powerhouse who fought with Qu Baiyi.
When Qu Baiyi saw JI He’s gun pattern from the crystal ball on the stage, he knew why Barbarian Huishan had asked him about the nameless strongman’s magic weapon.
Before Qu Baiyi had fully recovered from his injuries, he hurried to Tiansu Holy City with the elders of the Silver Light Fort.
……
Ning Cheng did not expect that Barbarian Huishan had such a demonic and deliberate mind, that people would not be present and still be able to tell from the top twenty no five of the Great Tai Su Competition that he was out of place. Nor did he expect his magic treasure to reveal that he had disguised himself, as there were too many cultivators who used guns, and the gun pattern was not unique to him. He was not the only one on the stage of the Great Tai Su Tournament who had cast a gun pattern.
At this moment, Ning Cheng, after a ‘hard’ fight, ‘fluked’ his opponent to advance to the top twenty-five.
In the distance, Cen Caixuan was still staring at Ning Cheng, after Ning Cheng had advanced to the top twenty five, her mouth was muttering, “He’s not JI He, definitely not JI He ……”
The green-skirted woman beside Ceng Caixuan was looking at Ning Cheng in disbelief, and when she suddenly heard Ceng Caixuan’s words, she immediately asked with some confusion, “Caixuan, what did you just say? You said that he is not JI He?”
Only when the green-skirted woman asked her that, did Cen Caixuan react and said in a hurry, “No, no, I didn’t say that.”
Before she finished speaking, she knew that her earlier self-talk had been overheard, and hurriedly whispered to the green-skirted woman, “Xin Cai, keep your voice down, JI He should be someone else in disguise, I believe I will not be mistaken.”
“Ah ……” the green-skirted woman who called Xin Cai let out a startled cry, then she knew something was wrong and hurriedly stopped her voice.
