Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 274: Victory and defeat, unexpected outcome
"Gold-eating bug!"

Lin Chen's pupils trembled, and he thought of a powerful group of poisonous insects.

As the name suggests, metal-eating bugs feed on metals.

It is the nemesis of all metal magic weapons in the world...

Even spiritual weapons made from top-grade minerals are no exception.

Because the more metal the gold-eating worm swallows, the stronger it will become.

When Lin Chen summoned thirty-six flying swords to stab the old man with insect poison, the swarm of gold-eating insects rushed out at the same time.

At a cursory glance, there are at least hundreds of them.

In just a breath, twelve of the thirty-six flying swords were broken and all were eaten up.

Lin Chen frowned slightly and quickly recalled the flying sword.

Then he pushed his true energy to the extreme.

The true energy close to the late Nascent Soul stage suddenly burst out and attached to the flying sword.

With the true essence attached, the gold-eating insect can no longer devour the flying sword.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then summoned his flying sword to stab the old man with the insect poison.

"Oh, I want to see...how powerful is this poisonous insect of yours?"

Lin Chen controlled twenty-four flying swords and slashed at the insect-infected old man again.

The old man with the insect poison raised his eyes and his figure disappeared like a ghost.

But then, another group of silver insects devoured the flying sword.

Lin Chen frowned slightly, the flying sword was not damaged.

But he soon frowned and his expression changed slightly.

He felt his control over the flying sword was rapidly diminishing.

The true energy attached to his flying sword was also rapidly dissipating.

"This is... a genophage?"

Lin Chen frowned.

The Yuan-eating worm is a more terrifying poisonous worm than the Gold-eating worm.

As the name suggests, it survives by devouring true essence.

The combination of the Yuan-eating Bugs and the Gold-eating Bugs is simply the nemesis of all sword or knife cultivators in the world!

There is no such thing as having a sword in the heart but no sword in the hand...

For sword cultivators, having a sword in hand will definitely make them stronger.

But without the sword, his strength would certainly be greatly weakened.

Outside the arena, the monks who were watching the performance exclaimed in surprise.

"As expected of the old man who is a worm!"

"These two kinds of poisonous insects have been carefully raised for at least hundreds of years! Otherwise, how could they have such power?"

"Too strong! With this kind of strength, the Zongzheng family will definitely be the island master!"

"Look, the Nascent Soul cultivator invited by the Fufeng family has been suppressed..."

Lin Chen didn't care about the noise in the distance.

The only thing in his eyes was the old man with the insect poison in front of him.

Indeed, the strength of this old man with insect poison had a certain restraint on him...

"But this alone is not enough..."

"Since the flying sword is useless, let's fight in close combat..."

Lin Chen summoned out thirty-six flying swords, but only a dozen were usable, and the rest were damaged.

Then, Lin Chen took out a long sword and held it in his hand.

This is not a demon-slaying sword, but an ordinary low-grade spiritual weapon.

If the demon-slaying sword gets damaged during the battle, it would be a huge loss.

Lin Chen's true essence attached to the long sword, and then his figure flashed and ran towards the old man with the insect poison.

The terrifying speed turned Lin Chen into a phantom.

The old man's pupils suddenly shrank. It was so fast that he could hardly see it clearly!
The next second, countless insects behind the old man rushed towards Lin Chen, as if they wanted to wrap up and devour Lin Chen.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...

The densely packed poisonous insects almost formed a huge black ball in the air.

Lin Chen was wrapped in a black ball.

At the location of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Ting's heart skipped a beat when he saw the black ball of insect poison.

"Essence-eating insects, poisonous heart insects, feathered fireflies..."

"At least dozens of high-level poisonous insects! Can a late Nascent Soul cultivator survive this attack?"

Xiahou Ting was glad that the old man with the insect poison did not pick him.

Otherwise, this swarm of poisonous insects might be able to defeat him...

"Clan leader, after this battle, we must show goodwill to the Zong Zheng clan..." Xia Houting whispered.

After hearing this, Chief Xiahou nodded and tacitly agreed to this matter.

Outside the arena, tens of thousands of cultivators stared at this scene with wide eyes. This battle between Nascent Soul cultivators was not an ordinary opportunity to come across.

They were all very curious whether Lin Chen was torn into pieces by the insect poison.

Only the old man with insect poison had a frown on his face.

He became famous for his insect poison and he also had a mental connection with them.

But now, among the swarm of insect poisons, he did not feel Lin Chen's breath.

"Where did you go?" The old man with the insect poison frowned.

But the next second, his heart suddenly started beating wildly and he quickly retreated a hundred feet behind him.

“That was a close call…” The old man was thankful that his natal insect sent out a warning, otherwise he would have been defeated…

Lost!

At this time, a flying sword was hanging on the neck of the old man with insect poison.

Lin Chen spoke slowly, emphasizing each word:

"Fellow Taoist, I accept it!"

The old man with the insect poison was stunned for a moment. He had no doubt that if he did not admit defeat, Lin Chen would probably stab his throat with a knife.

"I, I lost..."

The old man with the insect poison lowered his head, looking a little bitter.

Only then did Lin Chen put away his sword, turned around and jumped off the stage.

Behind him, the voice of the old man with insect poison came.

"Dao, Daoyou...how did you do it just now?"

Lin Chen shook his head and did not explain.

After returning to Master Fufeng, he took a few pills and nutrient solution.

"Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Lin." Master Fufeng looked surprised. He seemed to have expected Lin Chen to win, but he didn't expect him to win so easily and so quickly!
Lin Chen didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and rested.

The moment just now seemed easy, but it was quite exhausting for him!
After the old man with the insect poison cast his army of poisonous insects, Lin Chen immediately released his Qi gathering and dispersion skills and disappeared on the spot.

After gathering his energy and dispersing it, Lin Chen appeared next to the old man with the insect poison, ready to chop him down with a knife.

Unexpectedly, the old man with the insect poison seemed to have foreseen the danger and dodged it.

Seeing this, Lin Chen also guessed that the old man with the insect poison had an insect that could predict danger.

Besides, the old man with the insect poison had cunning methods, so Lin Chen had to make a quick decision.

So, time stood still again!

After a year, Lin Chen was obviously no longer as embarrassed as before after using it.

Although half of his physical strength was drained away in an instant, Lin Chen still retained his fighting power and defeated the old man with the insect poison.

In the distance, the patriarch of the Situ family frowned slightly and asked in a low voice:

"Brother, did you see clearly?"

Situ Wuji shook his head, his eyes solemn.

At that moment just now, even he didn't know what happened. He only felt the fluctuations of two spells.

All the monks present, including the monk who was just watching the show, looked bewildered.

They originally thought it would be an earth-shattering battle, and even thought at one point that Lin Chen would lose.

But I didn't expect that the victory and defeat would be reversed in an instant, and I didn't expect that the whole battle would last less than a quarter of an hour.

Soon, Patriarch Situ stood up and announced:
"In this battle, the Fufeng family wins!"

After hearing this voice, the disciples of the Fufeng family behind Lin Chen were all in a trance and excited.

If we win this battle, we will be able to preserve our foundation and prosperity for the next fifty years!

Lin Chen also smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Old Man Chong Gu, are you going to give up the competition?"

At this time, the head of the Situ family asked.

Because according to the rules, the old man with insect poison can also challenge the Situ family or the Xiahou family.

As long as you win any one of the three, you'll win.

The old man with the Gu Chong shook his head and said, "I want to continue and challenge the representative of the Xiahou family..."

Although he had just lost to Lin Chen, Lin Chen stopped at the right time and did not hurt the old man with the insect.

Moreover, the battle only lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and the old man with the insect was still in good condition.

Therefore, after only a short rest for an hour.

The second ring match began.

This battle is naturally between the old man with the poisonous insect and Xiahou Ting.

The two fought for thousands of rounds and lasted for two hours.

Only then will the winner be decided.

The winner is the old man with the poisonous insect!

Lin Chen was not surprised by this result.

Xiahou Ting's strength comes from the true essence of the late Nascent Soul stage, plus the powerful magic power brought by his thunder spirit root.

Thunder spiritual roots are more powerful than fire spiritual roots in attack. Strictly speaking, they are also a type of mutant spiritual roots.

But unfortunately, he encountered the Yuan-eating insects of the old man with the poisonous insect.

In the end, hundreds of Yuan-devouring insects were completely wiped out, and the old insect master finally defeated Xia Hou Ting with a slight advantage.

This means that the Zong Zheng family will take over Xiahou Island.

In the next fifty years, Xiahou Island will be renamed Zong Zheng Island.

The entire pattern of the Meteor Islands has undergone tremendous changes.

No one had expected this ending.

The Fufeng family retained the position of island master, and the Zongzheng family was also successfully promoted.

The Xiahou family, which was originally ranked second and was sitting firmly on the throne, was brought down.

Of course, their only hope of regaining the title of island owner is to defeat Situ Wuji.

But this is obviously impossible.

Situ Wuji, his Nascent Soul is complete.

He is the number one cultivator in the entire Meteor Islands and is ranked among the top ten among the powerful people in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The Xiahou family did not have the courage to challenge.

……

After the competition, there was a banquet for the four major families.

Led by the Situ family, the handover ceremony for the management rights of Xiahou Island was completed.

At the same time, the entire Meteor Islands, and even other forces of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, sent people to congratulate the new island master.

Lin Chen was not interested in the banquet, but as a representative of the Fufeng family, he naturally wanted to attend.

At the banquet, Lin Chen sat next to Master Fufeng and drank alone.

A figure stopped in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked up and saw Situ Wuji.

Situ Wuji approached, raised the wine glass in his hand and said:

"Fellow Daoist is very strong. I hope we can have the opportunity to learn from each other in the future..."

Lin Chen smiled after hearing this. He had heard that Situ Wuzhi was a cultivator who was good at fighting.

But he is very polite and cannot be considered reckless. He just pursues the great principle.

So Lin Chen nodded and said:
"Okay, there will be a chance later..."

Lin Chen also clinked the wine glass in the air and drank the wine in the glass.

After the banquet, the disciples of Fufeng Family returned to Fufeng Island in triumph.

A few days later, Master Fufeng came to Huishi Island in person.

Master Fufeng asked with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, what are your plans for the future?"

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "I should continue to practice in Meteor Islands for a while."

After hearing this, Master Fufeng's eyes lit up and he said:

"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to become a guest official of my Fufeng Island? You can still stay on Huishi Island to practice, and you don't have to do anything..."

"Every year, I give you a salary of one million spiritual stones!"

After hearing this, Lin Chen was quite interested.

Greystone Island is full of spiritual energy and pure, which is perfect for his practice.

The price of one million spirit stones per year is really not low, it is equivalent to giving it away for free.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen nodded and smiled:

"From now on, I will be grateful for your care, Daoist Fellow Fufeng..."
