Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 112 Battle of Wits, Goodbye Trio
Su Yu was surprised:

Is this person very capable?

"He has a BOSS-level venomous creature in his possession, it's very strong."

He paused for a moment and then added:
"This man is very famous in the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang. No one in our Divine Wind Gang is his match."

"Is this the first move to intimidate us?"

Su Yu turned to look at the arena.

Yao Chenfeng was not careless. As soon as he entered the arena, he summoned his seventh-tier magic weapon, a flaming gourd.

The gourd expanded, continuously spewing out thin but powerful lines of fire, as powerful and continuous as bullets.

His opponent followed the Gu Dao style common on Wan Du Island, wielding a Thousand Gu Banner, with countless flying Gu swarming towards him like a tide.

However, coincidentally, Yao Chenfeng's magic weapon was exactly the counter to the Gu Dao style. The gourd spewed out tiny fire lines like a machine gun, and the flying Gu that touched it turned into fireballs and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The man showed no emotion at the loss of so many Gu creatures. He simply took out a wooden cauldron from his robes, opened the lid and a cloud of poisonous mist spewed out. With a thunderous croak, a beam of crimson light flew out of the cauldron and fell, transforming into a level 92 elite template, the Myriad Poison Toad with the suffix "leader".

After the Poisonous Toad landed, it opened its mouth and sprayed out a stream of colorful, bone-corroding poisonous mist.

With a wave of his sleeve, Yao Chenfeng unleashed a gust of wind that dispersed the poisonous mist. He then spun the Fire Thread Gourd, unleashing a dense barrage of tiny fire threads that sprayed towards the Myriad Poison Toad. In an instant, countless tiny pores appeared on the Myriad Poison Toad's body, causing a surge of damage.

"Cuck!"

The Myriad Poison Toad opened its mouth and spat out a tongue that shot out across hundreds of meters, causing the magic weapon above Yao Chenfeng's head to sway slightly. With a leap, its massive body soared into the air, and a wave of air exploded from its mouth, spewing out endless bone-corroding poisonous mist that instantly filled most of the arena. A ball of golden lightning crashed down from the sky filled with poisonous mist.

"Ten Thousand Poison Golden Thunder!"

Yao Chenfeng reflexively pointed:
"Five Fire Divine Thunder!"

Two balls of lightning and fire exploded, the raging flames and the golden poisonous flames corroding and neutralizing each other.

While Yao Chenfeng was resisting the Ten Thousand Poison Toad, his opponent took out another Gu bag, opened it, and a group of Crimson Flame Flying Snakes that had been trained to level sixty or more flew out. Together with the flying Gu summoned by the Thousand Gu Banner, they swarmed up and overwhelmed Yao Chenfeng.

The thousand poisonous creatures crashed into each other wildly, causing the precious light to tremble violently.

“We’re going to win.”

The Wan Du Gang was overjoyed, while the Shen Feng Gang had a solemn expression.

"Old Yao is probably going to lose."

Zhang Chao said with a solemn expression:

"That Poison Toad is too tough; he won't be able to take it down in a short time."

Yao Chenfeng's Flame Gourd is very effective against low- to mid-level poisonous insects, sweeping away large swarms like a machine gun. However, it is no match for large insects with thick skin, high defense, and tank-like characteristics, let alone large insects with BOSS templates.

Not everyone can easily take on challenges beyond their level. Just because Su Yu can easily defeat monsters around level 100 and ordinary bosses doesn't mean that others can do it too.

Even with a Tier 7 magic weapon, a level 92 elite BOSS is not easy to defeat.

Until the Poisonous Toad, braving the attacks, got right up to him, Yao Chenfeng had no choice but to surrender.

"Sorry, I lost."

"It's alright, just do your best."

Lin Qingfeng turned around and asked:
"Who's going to play next?"

Li Qin, considering that her Heavenly Blazing Fire Formation could counter the Gu worms, was about to raise her hand when she heard someone speak from behind her:
"Let me do it."

Turning around, he saw that it was Su Yu who stepped forward, and he said with a smile:

"I'll do it. We can finish early and level up a bit."

His infectious confidence made everyone laugh.

Su Yu didn't want any dramatic last-minute rescue; she decided to defeat them decisively with overwhelming force.

He leaped onto the arena, quickly summoned the Azure Cloud Canopy, and saw a cloud of poisonous insects rushing towards him. Then, a thunderous croaking of frogs rang out, and the Myriad Poisonous Toads leaped over.

This time, Su Yu did not summon the flying sword. Instead, he took out the Wind and Fire Fan and waved it. He poured his magic power into the fan, and a gale and flames flew out, quickly transforming into a fiery tornado pillar.

With a series of waved feather fans, streams of wind and fire power surged in, and the fiery tornado column rapidly grew to over a hundred meters high. Sharp wind blades swirled around it like razor blades, and a powerful attraction emanated from it.

The numerous flying Gu worms that swooped in were only around level twenty, and they were completely unable to resist the suction force from the tornado pillar. They were sucked into it and quickly burned with crackling sounds.

The tornado pillar stood tall, and no matter how many low-level Gu worms came, they could not get close to him.

Only the Ten Thousand Poison Toad leaped over a hundred meters high and crashed down like a meteor.

But the next second, the energy in the air gathered and condensed into a giant energy hand, which slapped down with a backhand.

"boom!"

The grappling technique collapsed, and the giant toad was also knocked away.

"Wind God's Decree!"

A huge rune exploded above the toad's head, and a gentle breeze fell to bind it.

Su Yu grabbed the Wind and Fire Vajra Wheel with her left hand and tossed it lightly. The Vajra Wheel rapidly expanded in the air, growing to a hundred meters in size by the time it reached a thousand meters in the sky. Wrapped in wind and fire, it descended from the sky and struck the head of the Vermilion Toad, spinning wildly and cutting it.

With two eighth-tier magic weapons and one seventh-tier magic weapon, the Poisonous Toad, whose level was less than 100, was suppressed without any power to fight back, and its health dropped rapidly.

Upon seeing this, the man quickly raised his hand and shouted:

"I surrender!"

Su Yu realized that he hadn't completely killed Yao Chenfeng, nor had he killed him, so he released the suppression of the Myriad Poison Toad. The man immediately took out the wooden cauldron to summon the Myriad Poison Toad back, then breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Su Yu, and turned to jump off the arena.

No sooner had he left than someone eagerly jumped off the stage. It was Jiang Ming from the trio, a cruel smile spreading across his face.
"Kid, let's see where you can run this time."

Su Yu immediately put away the Vajra Wheel and the Wind and Fire Fan, reached out and grabbed the Thunderous Might surrounding him, and said calmly:

"This time, you'll die again."

"Arrogant! Do you think you're a real dragon?"

Su Yu didn't engage in a verbal argument; instead, she directly activated her Thunderous Might and rushed over to interrupt him.

"Well done!"

Jiang Ming also summoned two blue flying swords to meet the attack. The moment the four swords clashed, his expression changed:
"How can this be?"

The two swords exerted immense pressure simultaneously, causing them to sink down.

Immediately following, with a thunderous roar, ten split sword energies slammed down in succession. He reflexively activated the sword technique that generated the sword moves:

"Thunderbolt Lightning Sword!"

Twenty-five blue sword energies separated and collided with each other, exploding one after another.

His face was now completely droopy. Despite having twenty-five sword energies and ten sword energies clashing, he was at a disadvantage despite having more sword energies than he did.

In just a few seconds, Jiang Ming's confidence vanished. Knowing that the man before him was a formidable opponent, he decisively activated his ultimate move. His twin swords suddenly gleamed, and his attack power and speed increased dramatically, but he could only barely hold his own against Su Yu.

Su Yu did not activate the Thunderclap Sword's additional skill. Instead, she continued to wield both swords and spar with Jiang Ming, the four flying swords clashing back and forth, the clanging sounds ringing out incessantly.

A few seconds later, the lightning bolts, which had been crisscrossing back and forth, suddenly shifted, and ten more sword lights shot out into the battle circle, causing the two blue flying swords to deflect. The lightning bolt swords seized this momentary opportunity to swirl around the flying swords, and a dense shower of sparks flew up.

"Sword light splitting?"

Jiang Ming frantically steadied his two swords, but his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He initially thought the first wave of differentiated sword energy was a skill attached to a flying sword or a spell derived from a sword technique; he never imagined it was derived from the differentiation of sword light.

"This kid is so young, yet he's already mastered the third level of swordsmanship."

At this moment, he was already feeling fear and was considering whether to jump out of the ring and admit defeat.

When the fighting spirit in one's heart subsides, it will be reflected in the sword moves. Although Su Yu has not comprehended any sword heart, his swordsmanship has reached such a level that he is very sensitive to this. He immediately noticed the hesitation in his opponent's attack and decisively activated Thunderous Might to forcefully combine the two.

The two flying swords merged and entered the Flowing Light Realm, disappearing from Jiang Ming's perception.

"not good!"

He immediately urged his twin swords back to protect himself, but as soon as the thought arose, a streak of light flashed before his eyes, and the protective aura of his body trembled violently, causing his defensive power to plummet rapidly like a flood.

"grass!"

He quickly channeled his magic power into the magical artifact, and feeling the artifact's defensive power decreasing rapidly, he felt a chill and immediately reached out and shouted:

"I surrender!"

But Su Yu's attack did not stop; instead, it became even faster. Sword energy, invisible to the naked eye, circled and cut at an unimaginable speed, forming a sword energy storm that surrounded Jiang Ming's protective magic weapon.

"I surrender!"

This time everyone heard it, but no one spoke, because Jiang Ming had said before that they had a personal grudge, and this battle would determine who was superior and who would die, so admitting defeat would not count.

His two companions were frantic, but dared not do anything under the stern gaze of several witnesses to the duel.

Jiang Ming's protective magic weapon is a seventh-tier magic weapon with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

But even the strongest has its limits. Facing the combined damage of nearly 200,000 per second from the two swords, its defense was broken after only six seconds.

The magical robes and ornaments on his body flashed with light, and a second later, a head flew off.

"The Divine Wind Gang wins. Please send the next contestant from the Myriad Poisons Gang."

All eyes turned to Jiang Zhihong and An Chenfeng. The two were no longer as arrogant as before, and looked hesitant, not daring to step forward.

Upon seeing this, the royal palace coldly said:

"You two have already received a deposit!"

The two exchanged a glance, and An Chenfeng gritted his teeth and said:

"We will refund double the deposit."

"I don't need the money. Once I've taken the money, I have to get things done. Please, you two!"

Normally, if they backed out, it would be fine, and one could even gain a favor. But now that they have already used all their resources to invite experts to help, the losses would be enormous if they failed, and the royal palace absolutely cannot back down.

Judging from their appearances, it's clear they can't win, but their actions will allow Su Yu to showcase more of his strength, giving the highly anticipated expert more time to prepare.

Faced with his icy gaze, Jiang Zhihong and An Chenfeng knew that this time they had to die.

The two exchanged a glance, and Jiang Zhihong, who had calmed down, said in a deep voice:
"I'll go first!"

He leaped onto the arena, quickly summoned a white bone relic, and hung it above his head, casting a layer of precious light. He then summoned a demon banner and waved it. Countless demon souls flew out from the banner and surrounded him, including seventeen white bone yakshas of levels 80-116.

The White Bone Yaksha uses magic to forcibly remove the flesh and blood of cultivators, turning them into bones. Their souls are trapped within the bones and driven by them, unable to live or die.

Because the cultivator's soul is still intact, most of the cultivation techniques he practiced in his previous life can still be used, and he can also use magical treasures.

This is purely a demonic technique.
