Chapter 339 Feng Baobao

On the other side, after Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing finished their battle, Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan also finished their respective matches and advanced without any suspense.

With this, the four finalists for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony have been determined.

When the results of the next round of the draw were announced on the ancient stone tablet at Longhu Mountain, another commotion broke out among the crowd.

Zhuge Qing to Feng Baobao.

Zhang Chulan to Zhang Lingyu.

really……

Zhang Chulan's gaze swept past the throng of people and settled on the old man on the high platform, whose figure was as straight as a pine tree and whose expression was indifferent. He thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

He had been pondering this for a while. If the advisor's only goal was to get him back to Longhu Mountain and save his life, then there was no need to make such a big show of it.

He is now an employee of "Na Du Tong". As long as the advisor announces that he has returned to the Longhu Mountain sect, it will be enough to deter most villains.

After all, this era is no longer the chaotic world of the Jia Shen Rebellion, where everyone lived in fear.

So he had long suspected that his unfathomable advisor hadn't told him the whole story.

Now, this match schedule is the best proof...

He didn't encounter any troublesome opponents along the way. On the contrary, Zhuge Qing's opponents were all quite troublesome, including someone like Wang Bing who used targeted methods.

Therefore, he suspected that his advisor really wanted him to win in the end, and was even willing to lower himself and scheme against them, the younger generation.

The only reason he could think of was the Celestial Master's title, which symbolized the Celestial Master's lineage. After all, if the goal was simply to protect him, there was no need to give him the position of Celestial Master.

But what's the reason? Why did his advisor grant him the title of Celestial Master?

Well, for now, we can only take it one step at a time...

Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan took a deep breath, the cool mountain air filling his lungs, but it couldn't calm the turmoil in his heart.

He turned his head and looked at the girl beside him who was curiously picking at the moss on the stone tablet.

"Sister Bao'er, this time... we really can only rely on you."

Feng Baobao stopped what she was doing, raised her clear eyes to look at him, and nodded gently without saying a word.

……

The next day, the battle for the semi-finals officially began.

With only two matches remaining, the number of people gathered around the arena was several times greater than in the previous days.

Along the mountain paths and through the forests, wherever the arena could be seen, it was crowded with extraordinary individuals from various sects and factions.

The crowd parted automatically to make way, and the Ten Elders, led by Zhang Zhiwei, walked slowly over and took their seats on the viewing platform specially set up for them.

With a long, drawn-out chime, the first competition began.

Zhuge Qing calmly stepped onto the stage. He didn't say anything extra, only lightly stomped his right foot on the ground.

hum-

An invisible wave suddenly spread out from him, and the entire arena, and even the surrounding air, instantly changed in the perception of all the sorcerers. Direction, the five elements, time... everything was incorporated into the Qimen Dunjia pattern he had constructed.

Just as he had expected, once his "game" covered the entire field, he was unable to "grasp" Feng Baobao's presence in Qimen Dunjia.

This feeling is completely different from when I was facing Wang Ye.

Wang Ye's Feng Hou Qi Men technique creates a separate world within his body, isolated from the outside world. Therefore, in Zhuge Qing's perception, Wang Ye is an absolute "empty" entity.

But Feng Baobao is not.

More accurately, she did not cease to exist, but rather she was perfectly integrated with the entire world and the scheme he had laid out.

She is like air, like wind, like light, omnipresent yet elusive. She is not an outsider; she is part of the "game" itself.

This made him think of a word...

Does this mean the unity of man and nature?
Just as Zhuge Qing was lost in thought, Feng Baobao made a move.

There were no signs, no flow of energy, and no gathering of killing intent.

Her body was like a machine that had been switched on, instantly switching from stillness to high-speed movement.

The unremarkable short knife in her hand drew a straight line through the air, devoid of any beauty, and pierced straight into Zhuge Qing's chest.

The offensive was completely disorganized and haphazard.

There was no starting stance, no set routine, and even the techniques for generating power appeared crude and primitive.

However, this simple and direct attack always accurately targets the most subtle stagnation in Zhuge Qing's aura, capturing a flaw in his movements and footwork.

Zhuge Qing raised an eyebrow and shifted his footwork, easily dodging the attack.

But as soon as the blade passed, Feng Baobao twisted her wrist, and her other hand transformed from a palm into a fist, striking his ribs at an extremely awkward angle.

boom!
With his arms crossed, Zhuge Qing blocked the punch, but his body swayed slightly.

He could clearly sense that as the battle progressed, Feng Baobao's speed and strength were increasing at an incredible rate.

It was as if she wasn't fighting him, but rather using the fight to constantly "read" and "adapt" to his strength, and then adjusting her own abilities to a level that could just suppress him.

interesting……

Zhuge Qing stopped fighting Feng Baobao and prepared to distance himself.

The next moment, the Bagua diagram beneath his feet flashed by, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Eight door transport!

The instant Zhuge Qing's figure disappeared, before even his afterimage had faded, Feng Baobao's body reacted.

As if she had foreseen this, without even looking, she threw the short knife in her hand towards another corner of the arena.

call out!call out!call out!
The short sword spun rapidly in the air, producing several condensed, almost tangible sword energies. The sound of it cutting through the air was sharp and piercing, precisely blocking the direction from which Zhuge Qing was about to appear.

"Well done, Bao'er!"

Zhang Chulan, who was watching from below the stage, almost shouted out loud when he saw this.

This was exactly the tactic they had discussed last night.

Techniques are means of borrowing the power of heaven and earth, but they are not without weaknesses. The more powerful and profound the technique, the more preparation time and "qi" it requires, and the more focused the user needs to be.

Therefore, the only way to deal with a strategist like Zhuge Qing is to launch a relentless and unreasonable attack, pressuring his space, disrupting his rhythm, and not giving him any chance to calmly cast spells.

In the corner of the arena, Zhuge Qing's figure had just solidified when a sharp sword aura rushed towards him.

"Ha~"

Seeing this, Zhuge Qing chuckled and shook his head. If someone thought they could defeat him with just this level of skill, they would be underestimating him.

next moment

A powerful and ancient aura rose from behind him, and a godlike phantom slowly emerged behind him. The phantom held a feather fan, and its eyes seemed to hold the movement of stars.

The spirit of Zhuge Liang!

With the appearance of the deity, the air in the entire arena became viscous.

On the ground, the Qimen Dunjia formation shone even brighter, with the eight runes—Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui—illuminating in sequence and beginning to rotate around Zhuge Qing…
