Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 294 The Second Round of Competition

The four factions are competing in the second round.

Pei Xia made her debut at Ziya Cave 11.

Almost the moment he stepped onto the stage, everyone could tell that he wasn't in good shape.

His face was pale and bloodless, and he frequently frowned and rubbed his forehead, as if he had a terrible headache.

The other three factions had also heard about the disappearance of this Elder of the Long Whale Sect a few days ago, and it seems that he has suffered a terrible misfortune.

This is a good thing.

Don't underestimate this kid just because his cultivation level is only at the Profound Realm. His overwhelming victory over Xuan Yishan in the first match alone is enough to prove that his strength far exceeds his cultivation level.

After some further inquiry, I also heard that he was a junior in the Heavenly Consciousness Realm, and who knows what kind of killer move he might be hiding.

Eliminating him in this round is a good thing for everyone.

Yes, if we're talking about grudges, the three factions and the Changjing Sect aren't really enemies, but the Changjing Sect has been at the bottom for years, so everyone has teased and ridiculed them.

As a result, Xuan Yi Mountain lost the last match. I heard that at the Changjing Sect's victory celebration, Huang Bing ridiculed all the elders of Xuan Yi Mountain who were well-known.

Those who rise from weakness to power are inherently hostile to others.

As expected, this master of the eleventh cave of Ziya frequently gained the upper hand in the initial exchange. His magical artifacts darted around Pei Xia's side, even tearing his clothes several times, and clashed fiercely with Pei Xia's protective aura.

Elder Zhou Shu, who was leading the group from the eleventh cave of Ziya, had a solemn expression and was slightly nervous.

Pei Xia's ability to overpower Xuan Yishan already makes him a significant figure. If Ziya Eleven Caves can defeat him, it would be a way for the sect to vent its anger over Su Baozhai's You Shen Flower, and it would also help improve Zhou Shu's status within the sect.

In contrast, although Mei Changqing also observed carefully, his expression was much more indifferent.

Pei Xia definitely has other tricks up her sleeve.

Indeed, when Pei Xia waved his wrist and two spiders flew out from his left hand, the magical artifacts of the cultivators from the eleventh cave of Purple Cliff were rendered useless.

Huang Bing was initially worried about Pei Xia's situation, but seeing the two black blocks moving around, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Pei Xia's magic weapon is truly amazing. It's heavy, tough, and so flexible."

As a rare and precious magical artifact, the Twin Spiders are of extremely high quality.

When combined, it can withstand attacks from those at the Transformation Realm; when divided into two parts, it moves according to one's will, and can follow closely even when facing a nimble, space-piercing magic weapon.

Ji Shaofu stood behind Huang Bing and watched as Pei Xia gradually resolved the crisis, and her heart slowly calmed down.

This magical artifact... is truly wonderful.

In the end, Pei Xia came out on top.

Today's match can't be considered as holding back; the physical pressure was indeed immense. Even with the protection of the twin spiders, it was still the powerful spiritual energy of the inner cauldron that secured the victory.

Even after leaving the field, his complexion remained poor.

Ji Shaofu wanted to go to meet him, but after taking two steps, she saw that Pei Xia did not return to the stands, but went straight down the mountain.

She pursed her lips and didn't follow.

When she first found Pei Xia a few days ago, she wanted to visit her, but because she had suffered a lot of injuries in the first round of the competition, Huang Bing insisted that she stay on Shuxing Peak to rest after learning that Pei Xia was alright.

I wanted to say a few more words to him... but never mind, seeing that he wasn't in good condition, he really needed to rest.

It's true, Pei Xia is really suffering right now.

Drinking alcohol is not a burden for cultivators who have reached a certain level.

But if you drink like Pei Xia and Chen E, it's no different from drinking poison once the alcohol goes down your throat.

Even with his physique, after a whole day of recuperation yesterday, he was barely able to fight. Fortunately, his luck was good; if he had encountered Xia Xuan in this round, Pei Xia would have had no choice but to take out the Netherworld Flower from Yu Qiong.

In the second round of the four factions' martial arts competition, five winners were determined. Although Xuanyi Mountain eliminated two people on the first day, it still had two winners including Xia Xuan. The remaining winners were one from Jiujie Valley, one from Ziya Eleven Caves, and one from Changjingmen.

Xia Xuan won the fastest among them. Her Azure Sparrow Sword Qi was overwhelming and decisive, and the outcome was decided in just a few breaths. As a result, she will receive a bye in the third round of the competition, thus securing a place in the top three.

As for Ji Shaofu, she still did her best for the sect, but unfortunately, her breakthrough time was too short and her foundation was insufficient, so she was defeated and failed to achieve any highlights.

At this point, Pei Xia had become the sole representative of the Changjing Sect in this martial arts competition.

Are Changjingmen upset? No! This is their best performance in years!

Pei Xia, um, Pei Xia is great. If it weren't for the fact that he needs to recuperate, Huang Bing would have loved to throw him another celebration banquet.

After the second round of battles, there are still five days for everyone to recuperate and rest.

These past five days have been different from before. The cultivators and disciples brought by the four sects have been moving around more in the Changjingmen Mountains. After all, except for a few people, the other disciples no longer have any missions to perform. Even the water village at the foot of the mountain has become much more lively.

Pear kept pestering Han Youzhi to take her down the mountain to eat delicious food. At first, Han was a little reluctant, but as the snake breeders were gradually removed, she felt that it was time for her to calm down and cultivate herself to prepare for returning to the Heavenly Consciousness.

But Pear was biting her lip, looking really pitiful... Oh well, a few more days won't make a difference anyway.

Pei Xia, on the other hand, devoted herself entirely to recuperating in the cave.

He had practically used up all the healing, qi-regulating, and blood-activating pills in Yuqiong's body before he finally recovered to about 70-80%.

The good news is that because Xia Xuan got a bye, he won't have to face Qing Que's Divine Legacy Sword Aura in the next round of the competition.

Exhaling a breath of foul air reeking of alcohol, Pei Xia opened her eyes.

He wrinkled his nose slightly, then chuckled bitterly and muttered to himself, "I'm afraid no one else could stay in this cave."

The smell is too complicated.

The stench of the crystal elixir left by the long-term cultivation of the spiritual plants lingers for a long time.

During this period of recuperation, the lingering smell of alcohol emanating from his body once again filled the entire cave.

The rice piled up in the corner, originally fragrant, turned into a subtle stench when mixed with these two other smells.

With a wave of her hand, dispelling some of the scent, Pei Xia took out the small black gourd.

This was a gift from Chen E, who said it was a wine gourd. Pei Xia hadn't had time to examine it since returning to his sect.

This thing was slightly larger than the palm of his hand, and it was completely black with a faint jade-like luster. Pei Xia tried to flick it with his finger, and the sound was dull, as if he had hit a stone.

As soon as the gourd was opened, a deep and rich aroma of wine burst forth, dispelling the other odors in the cave and entering Pei Xia's nose.

Even though she had just recovered from the effects of alcohol poisoning, Pei Xia's throat still tightened at the smell.

Without a doubt, this gourd must contain the finest wine.

Oh, Chief Chen, if that's the case, then the previous large amount of wine wasn't something you couldn't drink.

Pei Xia sniffed greedily, struggling to suppress the urge to take a bite.

His gaze fell upon the dark gourd, and he cautiously confirmed that there was no hidden wealth inside before he contentedly stuffed it shut.

The wine gourd he used before was a repurchased elixir gourd, which was naturally better sealed than an ordinary wine bag. However, for someone like Pei Xia who often spent months in the wilderness, it still couldn't completely hide the smell of alcohol.

He then took it off and, with a grin, pinned the small, black gourd to his body.
