Asking about longevity

The day before the “Earth” sword debate.

Taixu Mountain Grove.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network → читание таконт. 𝚌═𝚖]

Under the towering ancient trees, Mo Hua was sitting together with the Di Zi sword-discussing disciples from Taixu Mountain, making preparations for the battle.

The elimination rate in the Xuanzi game is generally around nine-tenths.

The elimination rate of the four major groups will be slightly lower.

Because Taixu Sect has a large number of people, its elimination rate is actually slightly higher than that of the eight major sects.

There aren't that many teams that can truly reach the general level, and they are only on par with the general eight major sects.

In the sword fighting competition so far, Taixu Sect’s advantage lies in its large number of people.

The lower-level disciples, thanks to Mo Hua's coordination of formations, spiritual weapons and tactics, have formed the initial form of "Tianjiao Daobing" and can exert stronger combat power.

But when it comes to a higher level of battle, especially in the Xuan and even Di sword fights, this benefit will be weakened step by step.

However, the number of high-end talented disciples in Taixu Sect cannot compare to that of the eight major sects, such as the Vajra Sect, Xiaoyao Sect, and Lingxiao Sect.

Genghuanglun is compared with the four major sects.

Therefore, Mo Hua is already very satisfied with the current elimination rate.

According to his original prediction, the elimination rate would be even worse.

The Taixu Sect's ranking is still third.

This ranking is already very high, and it was also a bit beyond Mo Hua's expectations.

The reasons behind this are quite complicated.

On the one hand, it was naturally his team with Linghu Xiao who won all the way, won a lot of points, and established a lot of winning momentum.

On the other hand, I have to thank Duan Jinmen.

The core inheritance of Duanjin Sect was leaked and fell into the hands of Mo Hua, the evil formation master, so that they were defeated miserably in the Xuan Zi Sword Contest against Taixu Sect, and really gave away a lot of points.

The last reason is the efforts of my fellow “junior brothers”.

There were even some disciples who were not prominent in the sect originally. However, after participating in the sword-fighting competition and fighting round after round, they became like iron and stone being tempered, and gradually showed their edge.

Under the leadership of their junior brother Mo Hua, these disciples came together as one, gritted their teeth and fought with all their might in every match.

Although most people were eliminated in the Xuanzi bureau.

But it won a lot of points for Taixu Sect.

Otherwise, Taixu Sect would definitely not be able to maintain its third place.

You little brat, you're eating me into poverty.

What's more, they are cultivating the land, not only eating, but also practicing.

The cultivation techniques, spiritual objects, spiritual stones, etc., all cost money.

A small branch of the in-laws family could not afford this expense.

These five brothers all have good aptitudes. If they are not allowed to practice well, their talents will be wasted.

Therefore, the clan elders used their connections to adopt these five brothers into the Ouyang family, to carry on the family line of an elder who had died unexpectedly.

The Ouyang family is wealthy and powerful, and they have no shortage of food and clothing for these five boys.

Of course, because he was adopted, the share of practice he was given would not be too high.

Fortunately, these five brothers had experienced hardships and knew that the opportunity to practice Buddhism was hard to come by, so they practiced more diligently and hard in their daily lives.

They had good aptitude, and with the brothers working together and encouraging each other, their practice improved faster and faster. They even managed to be admitted to Tai'a Sect on their own strength without any help from senior elders, which was truly surprising.

But after all, their origins were poor and their foundations were shallow. After they joined Tai'a Sect, although they still practiced hard,

But he was surrounded by talented people from the clan, so in comparison, he seemed just like everyone else.

It was not until the sword-fighting competition that Mo Hua "promoted" the five brothers and gave each of them a set of heavy armor.

Each of them was given a huge sword and told one thing:

"Don't worry about anything, just chop down whoever you see."

The fate of the five brothers was completely changed.

They were born in a poor family, had no relatives or friends, and no elders to teach them. In Tai'amen, which was full of geniuses, it was inevitable that they would feel inferior and...

He also seems a little dull and stupid.

They don’t quite understand the tactics that are too clever and cannot execute them.

But the four words in the ink painting "Cut anyone you see" are simple, straightforward, clear and unambiguous.

As soon as the five brothers came on the field, as long as they read the words "La Zhu Mo Hua", endless courage and fighting spirit surged in their hearts. There was no more tension, no more timidity, no more hesitation, no more wavering. They didn't care about anything and just wanted to "kill anyone they saw".

No matter who it is.

No matter what sect the opponent is from, what kind of genius he is, whether his status is high or low, or whether his cultivation is strong or weak.

Just chop it.

Under the heavy sword, the true strength is revealed, as well as the victory or defeat, life or death.

The five brothers grew up together, ate, lived and practiced together, learned the same skills, practiced the same Taoism, cared for each other, encouraged each other, made progress together, shared the joys and sorrows, and were truly brothers of one mind, with blood thicker than water.

They cooperate with each other very well.

Once on the field, five tall and mighty brothers stood out in a row, all wearing heavy armor and holding heavy swords. They looked like five "Gods of War" carved from the same mold, with an extremely impressive aura.

Five brothers fought for the giant sword together.

Five persons are like one, and one person is like five persons.

Once the battle started, with murderous intent surging, the giant sword became like a kitchen knife, slashing and killing like a gust of wind.

In addition, the brothers were united, chanting together Mo Hua's words "Kill anyone you see", and there really was a sense of "demonic" that they were "demonized by the Tao", with a firm mind, moving forward courageously, and having the courage of ten thousand men.

During the sword fight, many disciples of the sects were stunned by the sword.

As soon as they met, five big men rushed towards them, and without saying a word, they chopped them in the face with their huge swords.

It was so sudden that one's eyes went dark, and when one came to one's senses, one had been hacked to death and left the stage.

It doesn't make any sense at all.

As the saying goes, a master can be killed by a random sword.

You might say they have no tactics, but the five of them work as one, in perfect order, and even have spiritual weapons equipped.

But if you really want to say that they have tactics...

There is nothing else except the word "cut".

When they started fighting, he was extremely weak.

The giant sword swept across, and the swords were tangled like hemp, mighty and powerful, without any rules or routines.

If you can hold on, you can fight back. If you can’t, you’ll be gone.

Of course, it is impossible for these five brothers to win all the time. They lost quite a few games.

But with the heavy armor that Mo Hua had specially selected for them, which was immune to most spells and slashes, as well as the giant sword that could restrain spiritual power, the slightly weaker teams really had no ability to resist. Basically, they would be defeated by the giant sword as soon as they met.

The stronger teams will win and lose against each other.

But even a strong team must be extremely cautious when facing the five Tai'a brothers.

Otherwise, once the flaw is discovered, the giant sword will slash around and it is very likely that you will be chopped into unconsciousness.

These five brothers have simple minds.

Just listen to my junior brother and go up and chop him.

If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. It doesn’t matter at all.

Precisely because there were no worries or doubts, the killing was decisive.

After dozens of sword fights with teams from different sects, the five brothers gained more and more experience in sword fights, their sword skills were honed step by step, and the lethality of their giant swords became stronger and stronger.

Just like that, the "Five Tai'a Brothers", who were not favored or even paid attention to before the game, were able to move from the Xuan Division to the Di Division.

The ink paintings were amazing.

Except for the five Tai'a brothers, most of the other general-level earth-level sword-fighting teams are familiar faces.

For example, Yang Qianjun’s “Taoist Army”.

Yang Qianjun comes from a Taoist military family. Born into the Yang family, he has been influenced by the family since childhood and is proficient in Taoist military formations.

After the three sects merged, he also brought in disciples from Tai'a Mountain and Chongxu Mountain, who were also from Taoist military families, to form a real "Taoist Soldier Team".

This is a truly pure "Taoist army", not the prototype of Taoist army that is popularized in ink paintings.

Everything is done strictly in accordance with the tactics, formation and configuration of the Taoist soldiers.

In addition, there is the complete supply of formations and spiritual weapons provided by Mo Hua.

Yang Qianjun's team also advanced to the Ground Division.

The other teams are also composed of the best disciples from the Three Mountains.

Even Hao Xuan and his friends have become ordinary level.

His team relied entirely on their physical skills, chasing and running, and then taking advantage of the loopholes to win every game they could.

The fact that they were able to reach the general level was really entirely due to good luck.

Even ink paintings seem incredible.

He even had a vague feeling that the ancestors of Taixu Sect were protecting him and Taixu Sect.

Everyone gathered under the tree.

And tomorrow, it will be the time for the sword fight.

Mo Hua briefly arranged the tactics, selected the appropriate formation and spiritual weapon for them, and then said:

"This is the situation, Bureau of Earth Characters, everyone should do their best."

"Winning is the best, even if you lose, there is no need to be angry."

"Yes, junior brother." Everyone nodded.

The following sword fight will not be a problem that can be solved by tactics alone.

Everyone knows this.

But everyone present was still very grateful to Mo Hua.

Without Mo Hua, they might not have been able to hold out until the sword fight.

The five Tai'a brothers, in particular, admired and were grateful to their junior brother Mo Hua from the bottom of their hearts.

Without Mo Hua's guidance and equipping them with formations and spiritual weapons, they would have no way of making it through the Xuan Zi Bureau.

Now they have made their way to the fore in the sword-fighting competition, even if they can only make it to the ground level.

It was also enough to make the elders of Tai'a Mountain look at them with disdain.

Some of the elders in the Ouyang family who used to have stern expressions would also greet them with a smile.

The weak will be ignored.

Once you are strong or show enough potential, you will gain more friendship.

Although the five brothers looked innocent, they understood the situation in their hearts.

These were all brought to them by their junior brother.

Without the help of the junior brother, without the opportunity given by the junior brother, they would never have been able to win the sword-fighting competition.

Come to the fore.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, the five Tai'a brothers, who were mighty and ferocious, wielding five huge swords and making their opponents tremble with fear, actually obeyed the orders of Mo Hua, who was short and had an easy-going look.

No matter what Mo Hua said, they nodded repeatedly and kept it in mind, even with a hint of "loyalty".

After the preparations were completed, everyone went their separate ways.

Mo Hua also returned to the disciple residence and began to plan for his own Di Zi sword debate.

So far in the sword fight, he has revealed many of his cards.

The remaining cards are also used one less at a time.

In the Di Zi Sword Contest, one will be fighting against the true geniuses of the four sects, which will double the difficulty, and the subsequent battles will only be more difficult.

Even tomorrow's sword fight will be a tough and bitter battle.

Mo Hua pinched his fingers, calculated silently in his mind, and couldn't help but sigh, his eyes gradually becoming profound.

"It's getting hard to play—"

Somewhere in a sect hall.

The Taoist elders gathered together, and everyone had an ugly look on their faces.

After staying up all night and reading the shadow map so many times, I finally figured out the boy's hiding place. I thought everything was fine and the boy would definitely die -

As a result, he showed his strange body skills again.

At that time, a group of Taoist elders watched helplessly from the side, with a mouthful of blood stuck in their throats, and they almost vomited it out.

"This brat is really good at hiding!"

"You obviously have a superb body skill, but you can endure so many times without using it, and you are still playing cat and mouse, playing hide-and-seek with others——

"This boy is so sinister and cunning, I have never seen such a person before in my life."

"This low-key and forbearing spirit is not inferior to some old guys—"

"What do you mean by being low-key and forbearing? He is just bad! He has a bad temper, likes to play tricks on others, and has a bad conscience.

”

"Young people have no martial ethics at all—"

A group of elders who had stayed up through the night countless times were now filled with righteous indignation and began to "denounce" Mo Hua.

"Okay," someone finally said impatiently, "let's talk about business——"

"After all, they are all elders of a big sect, well-known figures, hiding behind and saying bad things about a young disciple.

What does it look like?

The hall was indeed quiet.

But the elders still looked unhappy.

"Have you found out the origin of that boy's physical skills?" someone asked.

"I found out, but it's very complicated, with many traces of advanced body movements—

"What are these extraordinary physical skills?"

"Didn't I tell you that there is a little bit of—"

"I don't know what's wrong with this kid's mind. He has so many body techniques, all integrated together. But if you want to define which one it is, it's hard to say—"

"You're not talking nonsense?"

"Okay, what's the point of saying this now? His skills are so advanced. Even if you know his origin, how can you break it? Who can break it?"

"Use the Soul Binding Chain."

"Can you lock him up?"

"That immobilization spell"

"Can your spells be faster than his?"

"Array."

"Showing off your sword in front of Guan Gong? Have you forgotten who he is?"

Everyone felt a tightness in their chest.

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

In the final analysis, physical skills are a kind of "hard power" in spiritual practice. Once they become ridiculously strong, it is not so easy to control.

And all the methods that can target body movements happen to be what Mo Hua is best at.

As for some other little tricks, it is even more impossible.

Apart from anything else, Mo Hua's keen and powerful consciousness alone is an insurmountable gap.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and an elderly elder slowly said, "With his skills, we can't target—"

This sentence is the final conclusion.

"At this point, I have no choice but to admit it. Even if I only rely on the Five Elements spells and this confusing body movement,

This ink painting is also worthy of being called a true "prodigy" in swordplay."

"Tai Xu Sect's Linghu Xiao, together with Mo Hua, is truly a team of two 'prodigies'."

There was a noise in the hall.

Everyone was talking about it, and it was obvious that they had strong opinions about it, but they didn't know how to refute it for the time being.

The old elder coughed lightly, and the hall fell silent. He continued, "That being said, there is no need to worry."

"This ink painting has both obvious advantages and disadvantages."

"His greatest advantage is his ability to deal damage, control, containment, life-saving, and escape.

It is an all-around "auxiliary" soil repairer."

"The biggest disadvantage is that he is just a support after all."

"To a large extent, he has to rely on his teammates, especially Linghu Xiao."

"He becomes stronger when his teammates are stronger."

"On the contrary, without teammates, his skills are not of much use."

"The most important thing is that he doesn't have the ability to kill 'independently'."

"Without the help of his teammates, he can't kill anyone."

"His low-level five-element spells are indeed exquisite and powerful."

"But that was in the Xuanzi Bureau, and his opponent was just an ordinary sect genius, so he could get away with it."

"Moreover, his weak spiritual power cannot support a truly large-scale, long-term spiritual killing."

The old elder shook his head and said, "This is a contest between the geniuses. If you cannot rely on your own strength to kill your opponent independently, and only rely on magic to pick up heads, you will ultimately be a burden."

"The further you go, the less useful it becomes—

"If this kid is only at this level, he won't be able to go far even if his physical skills are great."

"In a sword fight, you can't win by just relying on your physical skills."

"In fact, we don't even need to compete until later. The first field sword duel tomorrow should be able to tell the outcome—"

The old elder finished speaking in a deep voice, then slowly closed his eyes and began to rest.

His words provide a thorough analysis of ink painting.

He also pointed out the pain points of the inheritance of Taoist ink painting.

After all, assistance is just assistance.

You can't kill people with assistance.

He can only be strong if his teammates are strong. Without his teammates, he is nothing.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, especially when they thought of the list of sword-fighting contestants deduced from yesterday's discussion of the Dao Tianyi. When they thought of Mo Hua and the others, the opponents of the first field sword-fighting contest, in the list, their eyes froze slightly.

"This first arena sword fight will be a show of force!"

The next day, after a long and solemn sword-fighting ceremony,

The sword fight officially begins.

And in the first scene, ink painting is about to take place.

His opponent is a disciple of the Tianjian Sect, one of the four major sects and the one who inherited the way of the Tianjian.

Moreover, he is not an ordinary genius.

He is the most outstanding disciple of the Tianjian Sect this time, the strongest among the Fangqian sword masters, and the number one Tianjian of this time.

Xiao Wuchen.

In everyone's mind, this is definitely the most exciting and intense sword fight since this sword fight conference.

The opening of the game is so exciting.

As a result, the Lundao Mountain, which was already crowded with people, was even more packed.

Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the number one figure in the Tianjian Sect.

Similarly, I also want to see the confrontation between Taixu Sect and Tianjian Sect.

This is truly the center of attention.

Outside the field, Great Elder Zhang, Zhang Lan, Wenren Wan, Yu'er, Gu Changhuai, and many other cultivators from aristocratic families, sect disciples, and fellow Taoists and relatives who were familiar with Mo Hua were all watching the game silently and wishing Mo Hua well.

For Mo Hua, this is a real, top-notch enemy.

They were looking forward to the performance of the ink painting, but more than that, they were filled with ambition and worry.

In this tense and anxious atmosphere, the first sword fight of the Earth Character Contest began.

The bell rang and the two sides clashed.

Human figures intertwined, sword energy and magic spells surged.

And then in just a moment, Taixu Sect was defeated.

Xiao Wuchen, who was at the peak of foundation building and had unparalleled swordsmanship in the Tianjian Sect, led four of the Tianjian Sect's most talented disciples. In just one confrontation, one round, he defeated the five Mo Hua disciples from the Taixu Sect in an almost crushing manner.
