I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 253 Evenly Matched (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

合！
With a clear shout, the four arenas, like jade plates pushed by an invisible hand, moved closer to the center, forming a larger arena.

With a confident smile on her face, Xia Wanwan leaped onto the stage first.

Knowing that her master was right above her, Liu Taozhi didn't dare to have too much contact with Jiang Yi. She forced a straight face and walked to the side to wait, secretly cheering Jiang Yi on.

Among the onlookers, even though Shen Puning believed Jiang Yi wouldn't lose, she was still a little nervous. She unconsciously reached for Xin Wushuang's arm next to her, but grabbed nothing.

She turned her head and realized that Xin Wushuang had already stood at a distance, guarding against her.

Shen Puning pouted, then immediately ran over with a mischievous grin and forcefully took Xin Wushuang's arm.

Qi Tian began wiping away sweat, and the others from the Cangling Sect were also extremely nervous.

Only Zhao Cangyun remained convinced that Jiang Yi would not lose.

The Golden Core cultivators from various sects, who were silently watching from high above, were also eagerly anticipating the battle between Jiang Yi and Xia Wanwan.

Jiang Yi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and people were curious because they didn't understand her.

These Golden Core cultivators knew Xia Wanwan all too well.

The Xia family are all weapon refiners, and most of them control fire-attribute demon spirits.

Most demon tamers will hide in the back and direct the strategy during battles, letting the demon spirits take the lead in the attack. It seems that Jiang Yi is doing the same.

However, the weapon refiners of the Xia family are different; they mostly engage in close combat themselves, while the demon spirits provide ranged support.

The Xia family cultivators possessed a plethora of magical artifacts, a veritable whorebook of all kinds. Furthermore, their cultivation techniques, combined with secret artifact-refining methods, allowed one person to control multiple artifacts simultaneously without any problem.

Unlike other Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if their divine sense is strong and they have cultivated the method of splitting their spirit, controlling three magical artifacts at the same time is already the limit. Only the sword cultivator's sword shadow splitting light technique can barely be considered as one spirit controlling multiple swords, but the split sword light is much weaker than the original body.

To break through the defenses of the Xia family cultivators, one must first exhaust all the magical artifacts they carry. In terms of resources, no one can compare to the Xia family's artifact refiners.

Moreover, the Xia family cultivators are not like the people of the Mo family fortress. Their mechanical transformation and reassembly take some time. Xia Wanwan just fought Yan Kongqing and used only fire and thunder beads that explode instantly and have tremendous power.

Yan Kongqing, as the strongest Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Liujing Sect, is not weak. He controls the array with the Myriad Manifestations Disc, possessing the advantages of an array master. Unfortunately, when he encounters someone like Xia Wanwan, he can't even set up an array, his advantages cannot be brought into play, and he is made to look very weak.

If you were to ask these Golden Core cultivators who they currently favor, most of them would still favor Xia Wanwan.

After listening to the discussions of the other Golden Core cultivators, True Person Yu Wei and True Person Xuan Zhi of the Cangling Sect exchanged glances, both with worry in their eyes.

But Master Yu Wei still said, "Senior Brother, do you still remember Jiang Yi's performance in the Xuandu Mountain Secret Realm? I think she will give us a surprise, what do you say, Senior Brother Luo Heng?"

Yu Wei turned to look at Luo Heng, but found no one beside her. Scanning the entire area, she saw that Luo Heng had silently slipped into the area where the Foundation Establishment cultivators were, and was standing behind a female cultivator wearing a cloak.

Luo Heng took a closer look, a hint of disappointment appearing on his face, before he slipped back to Yu Wei and the others.

Master Yuwei and Master Xuanzhi exchanged another glance, both sighing helplessly in their hearts.

Since arriving in Flint City, Luo Heng has been doing this, searching everywhere for suspicious people. If he cannot kill Tianxin Ancestor to avenge himself, Luo Heng is afraid that he will develop inner demons.

Unfortunately, Luo Heng Zhenren was still somewhat inferior to Tianxin Laozu. He was discovered by Tianxin Laozu the first day he appeared in Suishi City.

At this moment, the Heavenly Heart Ancestor, who had changed his name to Burning Heart, was in the crowd, looking at the haggard Luo Heng with a half-smile.

"How envious I am of you to have such a good master. Once I return to the Golden Core stage, I will definitely reunite you two."

Burning Heart muttered to herself, "When I possessed Ji Honglian, I saw all of Ji Honglian's memories, so I could recognize Luo Heng at a glance."

At this moment, Fenxin noticed a person walking towards her with a clear purpose. The person was wearing a cloak and a mask, and his attire was exactly the same as that of many rogue cultivators in the crowd.

The person was petite and wore black leather boots painted with red lotuses of karmic fire.

A clear, bell-like girl's voice appeared directly in Burning Heart's sea of ​​consciousness, "Ancestor is really hard to find."

Burning Heart glanced indifferently at the person beside him, "Dirty thing!"

The girl chuckled and continued to transmit her voice, "I only taught those five followers to deliver messages. If they have displeased the Ancestor, I apologize to the Ancestor. I wonder if the Ancestor would do me the honor of talking to me about the Kundao Palace."

He remained unmoved by the burning passion.

The girl was very patient. Following Burning Heart's gaze, she looked at the two people preparing to fight on the glass arena in the distance. Her eyes, hidden behind her mask, were fixed on one of them, revealing a look of inexplicable nostalgia.

"Very well, I'll accompany the ancestor to see just how dazzling the descendants of the Xia family will be."

Upon hearing this, Fenxin suddenly turned to look at the girl and chuckled.

"That's good, look! Look!"

This is the last time I'll use those dog eyes of yours to look properly!
The descendants of the Xia family all use the cultivation techniques and combat methods she created.

...On the glass arena, dazzling sparks erupted from the weapon-refining hammer in Xia Wanwan's hand. The Fiery Spider jumped off her shoulder, and upon landing, its entire body suddenly swelled up, transforming into a giant spider taller than a person, with a crimson body and a metallic sheen.

Xia Wanwan's fighting spirit was boiling. Before Jiang Yi could sit down, she shot out like a cannonball, her hammer wind whipping up a raging torrent of crimson flames, heading straight for Jiang Yi's face.

Fortunately, the arena was large enough that Jiang Yi had time to sit cross-legged, his body enveloped in an invisible aura that circulated like a bell.

Hua Gu split into two, with the smaller clone transforming into clouds that entwined around Jiang Yi's arm to maintain the Wind and Thunder Spiritual Contract. The Nine Heavens Tribulation Clouds roared and rapidly gathered above Jiang Yi's head.

Hua Gu's body condensed into a giant claw of wind and thunder, carrying dazzling lightning to meet Xia Wanwan's weapon-refining hammer.

boom!
Thunder and fire intertwined, unleashing a deafening roar. Lightning danced like silver snakes, and waves of fire surged like raging torrents. The violent shockwaves swept away all the sand and dust outside the arena.

The lightning on Hua Gu Yun Lei's claws remained powerful. Xia Wanwan sneered, and the clay doll accessory at her waist suddenly lit up, unfolding an earthen-yellow barrier in front of her, blocking all the lightning.

At the same time, Xia Wanwan threw three fire crow darts with her left hand, the crow-shaped flames whistling as they pounced on Hua Gu.

Hua Gu's figure suddenly dispersed, and three fire crow darts pierced through the mist. The crow-shaped flames exploded in the mist, but were suppressed as if they had crashed into an icy lake by the ice phoenix power emanating from Hua Gu's mist.

Jiang Yi plucked the strings with her fingertips, and the zither rang out. Suddenly, the Heavenly Gang Sword Qi flew out from the Sword Nourishing Gourd and accurately slashed at the Fire Crow Dart, with the Soul-Chasing Thunder following closely behind.

Xia Wanwan chuckled and, before the fire crow dart could be severed by the sword energy, deliberately destroyed the high-grade magic weapon.

boom!
The explosive force of the magical artifact broke through the sword energy, the Flower Maiden's cloud of mist surged, and the powerful icy aura of the Ice Phoenix enveloped her, freezing the remaining power of the Fire Crow Dart and turning it into specks of frost that drifted away.

"Ouch—my eyes hurt so much, but my heart hurts even more."

A gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd; they felt a pang of heartache and a sour taste in their mouths every time they saw Xia Wanwan casually unleash magical artifacts.

Xia Wanwan paid no attention to this and was about to attack again when she suddenly saw a whirlpool of water rise beneath her feet. Dozens of water arrows of the Great Perfection level were carried in the water and were also fused with the power of the Ice Phoenix. The arrowheads gleamed with a cold blue light and instantly froze and shredded Xia Wanwan's boots and clothes, leaving several bloody marks on her calves!
"Little tricks!"

Xia Wanwan's waist accessory exploded, and a terracotta doll appeared out of thin air.

Wow!
The water prison closed, shredding the terracotta figurine into pieces. Xia Wanwan's true form had already flashed three zhang away. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Fiery Spider spewed poisonous fire spider webs at Hua Gu, covering the sky and sealing off all of Hua Gu's escape routes.

Zheng——

Jiang Yi plucked a string with her fingertip, and the Heavenly Gang Sword Qi slashed down from the sky, precisely cleaving the spider web. The residual force lingered, sparking a series of sparks on the Flaming Spider, forcing it to stagger backward, leaving several hideous wounds on its back.

"Jiang Heying, I didn't realize you actually had some skill. Let's go again!"

Xia Wanwan stomped the ground and swung her weapon-refining hammer down. Hua Gu, instead of retreating, advanced and used the power of the Ice Phoenix to transform the torrent of arrows into a rain of ice arrows to meet the attack head-on.

boom!
The clang of metal against metal was deafening. Hua Gu soared into the air, and dozens of wind blades carrying water arrows poured down like a torrential rain, followed closely by lightning.

Xia Wanwan wielded her hammer to form a shield, and waves of fire surged, engulfing wind blades and water arrows. At the same time, the Flaming Spider spewed out a sticky spider web to surround and kill Hua Gu.

Jiang Yi played the zither with both hands, the music stirring and the sword energy carrying the Soul-Chasing Thunder, fire and thunder intertwining and exploding.

The fierce battle raged on the field. Hua Gu and Xia Wanwan faced off head-on, while Jiang Yi used his zither to control his sword, and the Flaming Spider spewed spider silk and webs to assist in sneak attacks from the side.

After dozens of rounds, the two sides were evenly matched.

Hua Gu's magic was powerful, Jiang Yi's zither music and sword energy were endless, but Xia Wanwan's magical artifacts were also constantly emerging.

At crucial moments, magical artifacts always help her defend and counterattack. If things go wrong, Xia Wanwan can also unleash the magical artifacts without hesitation.

This action caused the onlookers to become red-eyed and weep, feeling mentally attacked. They felt that Xia Wanwan had almost overturned their bottom line of humanity, and their gazes toward the Xia family disciples gradually changed color.

"Sleepy!"

Xia Wanwan made a hand seal and shouted sharply. A red bronze mirror flew out from the brocade pouch at her waist. The mirror light was like a lock, instantly freezing Hua Gu in mid-air.

Jiang Yiqin's music suddenly turned urgent, and three sword energies slashed straight at the red bronze mirror.

Xia Wanwan snorted coldly, and another small black iron shield flew out from her sleeve, accurately blocking the sword energy. Her offensive did not diminish, and she slammed her hammer towards Jiang Yi's head.

"You, stand up!"

The hammer fell like a meteorite, and the invisible energy surrounding Jiang Yi shattered instantly!

Jiang Yi, carrying the Floating Life Qin, swept behind her. As her clothes fluttered, five beams of light rose from the ground, leaving Xia Wanwan utterly astonished.

Fell into a trap!
Where Jiang Yi had just been sitting, five copper coins were embedded in the ground in a ring, having been infused with enough true essence and fully activated.

Jiang Yi landed lightly on the edge of the arena, a confident smile on her face.

"Five Elements Copper Coin Formation, activate!"
