Chapter 84

  Xu Ziqing is indeed yearning.

  Just now, when Ji Bánlián was lightly dancing, he already knew that there was something unusual about it, and his eyes were also dizzy. And Zhang Tiān Tàis overbearing knife aura had also left a very deep impression on him.

  He thought back to the sword auras he had seen before and made a silent comparison in his mind.

  Zi Feng Gongzi's sword energy was not long, but very condensed, looking like a solid substance, compared to this swirling knife shape, it was naturally better than several times. And his good friend Yun Liao's sword energy was fine and sharp, not only could break through the air and hurt people, but also as easy as waving his arm, compared to Zi Feng Gongzi's sword energy, it was even more superior by a large margin.

  The aura of a sword and the aura of a knife are also different.

  The sword's energy is sharp and unyielding; while the knife's energy is overbearing, fierce and powerful.

  Both are evil soldiers, but in his memory, the sword is better than the knife. It should be that the people who use swords and knives have different cultivation reasons. If Zhang Tian Tai builds a foundation for cultivation to an even higher level, then the knife's aura will surely be another situation. Absolutely won't be suppressed by the bell sound like this!

  Xu Ziqing was also a man of strong character, although he knew that Ji Banchun's sound waves were formidable, but after all, he preferred the sharp and violent knife-like objects, while Jin Si and Yu Diao seemed too soft.

  He watched for a while, and the two were still in a stalemate, seemingly unable to determine the winner for the time being. He then spoke to Yun Liao again: "Brother Yun, that Miss Ji's kung fu is quite unusual."

  According to Xu Ziqing, Ji Bannian's posture when holding the brocade pouch is exactly the same as his footwork when using the jade ring and jade bell to emit sound waves, so it must come from a set of qigong.

  A cold voice came: "This is the 'Tianyin Meiwu Miao Fa'."

  Xu Ziqing originally just found a topic to casually chat about, but unexpectedly his good friend knew it too, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Yun knows this?"

  Yun Liao said: "Qingyun also has Jingyue Palace, where all are women, and they all practice this method."

  Xu Ziqing became even more curious: "If Miss Ji successfully builds her foundation and reaches the Great World, can she directly join that place?"

  Yun Liao hummed and said: "Every time at this hour, someone will come to Jing Le Palace."

  What he said about "Jing Le Gong" naturally refers to that one in the world of Qian Yun.

  Xu Ziqing nodded: "I see." He thought for a moment, "Since Miss Ji's kung fu is passed down from the Great World, it must be of the highest level. In this match, Zhang Daoyou might be in danger."

  Yun Liao said: "Not necessarily."

  Xu Ziqing didn't have much interest in winning or losing, and this kind of speculation was originally meant to get his good friend to say a few more words. Now that he had indeed been drawn out, he smiled slightly: "Please, Cloud Brother, enlighten me."

  The cloud seemed to have a realization and said: "If you really want to know, I can tell you."

  Xu Ziqing hastily composed himself: "I was indeed thinking of that." He lightly coughed once, "Being able to watch the battle together with Brother Yun and listen to his guidance makes me extremely happy. Therefore just now I was a bit... I hope Brother Yun will forgive me."

  "It doesn't matter."

  Xu Ziqing smiled and said: "Please enlighten me, Brother Yun."

  Being able to persist up to this point under the charm of Tianyin's dance, Zhang Tiantai is indeed a man with a resolute mind.

  His words had a few words of praise, Xu Ziqing felt quite rare, and listened more seriously.

  Yun Liao continued, "The Tianyin Dance of the Jingyue Palace is most skilled at bewildering people's hearts and minds. The more profound one's cultivation, the more powerful the sound waves become. However, the consumption is not inferior to that of a knife."

  Listening to his friend's words, Xu Ziqing thought that Qiji Blian had tried to use evasion to consume Zhang Tiangong's spiritual power earlier, and it was likely for this reason.

  Because he just thought in his heart and didn't speak out. So Yun Lian's voice hadn't stopped: "This girl's cultivation is too low, at most it won't last more than half a moment, and she can't hold on. Zhang Tian Tai saved his spiritual power, although it's hard to bear now, but he won't be powerless later."

  If it was just a few words to chat with Yún brother before, but later on Xú Zǐqīng became so absorbed in listening that he felt even more refreshed and clear-headed at this moment, and for a while his thoughts were also somewhat wandering.

  Just then, he felt a weight on his sleeve and suddenly woke up.

  Xu Xian was watching anxiously on the side and couldn't help but pull his sleeve, asking in a low voice: "Brother Zi Qing, who do you think will win?"

  Because he was talking to Yun Lian, Xu Ziqing forgot that there was another person by his side. At this moment, he was pulled back and hesitated for a moment: "Ah, Xian Di's intention..."

  Xu Ziqing hadn't quite caught Su Xun's question, but Su Xun thought he was being asked for his own opinion. He looked a bit embarrassed: "In my view, it doesn't matter who wins or loses."

  After some thought, Xu Ziqing understood Su Xun's words and smiled: "I think Zhang Daoyou is even better."

  Su Xun's spirit lifted: "Brother Zi Qing, what profound idea do you have? Speak quickly and tell me!"

  Xu Ziqing thought back to Yun Lue's previous words, weighing them carefully before saying, "You see how powerful Season Girl's sound wave technique is? It must have consumed a lot of spiritual energy." He pointed at the sweat on the forehead of the woman in yellow, "A Xian, younger brother, take a look."

  Su Xun looked back and exclaimed: "Indeed."

  Xu Ziqing also said: "While Zhang Daoyou seems to have worked hard, his spiritual power is all locked inside his body, only retaining a bit of clear spiritual intelligence, but he has accumulated more than Seasonal Girl."

  Su Xun also took a close look at Zhang Tian Tai, seeing that he was indeed tightly strung, yet his eyes were sometimes dull and sometimes clear... Now he was even clearer, with a sense of feeling in his heart.

  He sighed and said: "Brother Zi Qing has a good understanding of this. This time at the gambling den, I'm afraid I will lose."

  Xu Ziqing smiled and said: "Let's just wait and see. There are still several matches later, you can also bet with me again. If you win next time, it will be the same prize."

  "It's also true, next time I will definitely win you."

  Xu Ziqing smiled but didn't speak, secretly transmitting a message to Yun Lian: "Brother Yun, this time I'm borrowing your prestige. Thank you, thank you."

  The clouds are cold and silent.

  Xu Ziqing smiled lightly and looked at the scene with Su Xun again.

  Unexpectedly, that season's lotus fruit was indeed at its strongest.

  Only to see her footsteps getting slower and slower, the jade bell in her hand was no longer as ethereal and ghostly as before. Zhang Tian Tai's eyes were shining brighter, his complexion gradually improving.

  Ji Banlian saw it and was greatly alarmed in her heart.

  She immediately twisted her waist and danced continuously. The bell sound suddenly became more urgent, changing from gentle spring rain to a sudden storm!

  Xu Ziqing sighed: "Miss Ji's heart is already in disarray."

  In an instant, Ji Bànlián's footwork faltered, the chime's rhythm went awry, and the wondrous realm created by Tiānyīn Mèi Wǔ dissipated more than half.

  Zhang Tian Tai seized the opportunity and suddenly let out a loud shout: "Break!"

  His arms muscles clenched, the long knife slashed upwards with great force - instantly the invisible blade aura cut off the remaining sound waves, and Ji Bán Lián's face turned deathly pale, indeed unable to continue.

  Zhang Tian Tai made another move, this time his knife chopped down violently, the momentum was so strong that it seemed to cut Ji Ban Lian in half at the waist!

  At this time, a male voice sounded, neither high nor low, elegant and pleasant to hear.

  It's exactly Tang Wenfei.

  He just said: "Disperse."

  Then raised an index finger and lightly drew a downward stroke.

  Everyone saw a white light rapidly departing, colliding with the knife aura.

  The white light was fragile and weak, but the tyrannical knife aura was shattered at once, turning into several strands of strong winds that dispersed in all directions. It no longer had any power to harm people.

  So lightly and casually did he resolve the calamity, all the cultivators were left staring blankly, their eyes wide with wonder, as they were drawn in by the profound and mysterious mark that had been traced out by his finger, each of their spirits shaken.

  Master Tang, your cultivation is so profound! Your magical technique is so mysterious!

  Xu Ziqing also felt relieved.

  It's best if no one gets hurt.

  Ji Bàn Lián was still reeling from the shock, her beautiful hair also scattered due to the approaching knife, now draped behind her back, looking quite disheveled, no longer the elegant and refined beauty she was just a moment ago.

  Zhang TianTai's eyes flashed with a hint of frenzy, but it was quickly suppressed.

  No matter how powerful that one finger is, it's not a knife technique. He has dedicated his life to the way of the knife, and no other profound principles can shake him!

  After calming down, Zhang Tian Tai bowed his fist to Ji Bao Lian: "I concede."

  Ji Bàn Lián's chest rose and fell slightly, her face also flushed a little, revealing silver teeth. She couldn't help but feel defeated, but she didn't want to make herself look even more pitiful. So she forced out a smile: "…Little sister is inferior."

  She sat down, but in her heart, Ji Bàn Lián was still resentful. The people of the Divine Blade Sect actually dared to be so ruthless to someone from the Jingyue Palace, and when they reached the Great World, she would definitely not forgive him!

  The two returned to their seats, and the slips in their hands shone with a flash of light. In an instant, Zhang Tian Tai's slip was marked with a "win" character, while Ji Ban Lian's was marked with a "lose" character.

  Looking at the word "defeat", Ji Bàn Lián felt even more unresigned in her heart. She raised her head to look at Tang Wén Fēi, but saw that he nodded slightly to himself, and his expression also didn't show any dissatisfaction, which made her feel slightly reassured.

  Although Ji Bànlián lost, she didn't lose her qualification to stay. As a cultivator of the tenth layer of Qi Refining, she only temporarily lost this round. In the end, she could still challenge the winner and seize that spot!

  At this time, Su Xun poked Xu Ziqing's arm and teased: "If you don't speak up again, the beauty will be snatched away by others."

  Xu Ziqing was taken aback, and soon also heard a low voice coming from beside him, so he turned his head to look. He saw a majestic young man in elegant attire talking to Xu Ziting, and after listening for a moment, he realized that he was explaining the subtleties of their previous battle. Only then did he understand why Xu Zifen had specially sat down next to Xu Ziting - it was for this reason.

  Then he reacted to Su Xun's words and couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Ah, Xun younger brother, don't talk nonsense, Prince Zifeng is the biological older brother of Princess Ziting, you speak like this, isn't it impolite!"

  Su Xun retreated: "I was wrong." But then he didn't give up, "Brother Zi Qing only said that the two of them are siblings, but he didn't say that he had no intentions towards Miss Zi Tang..."

  Xu Ziqing sighed and said seriously, "I really have no intention of teasing Miss Ziting. This kind of joke should not be made again in the future." Then he also spoke with a few parts of seriousness, "I see that Ah Chen is very concerned about Miss Ziting. If you really have a crush on her, you should speak frankly and don't use me to test her again. Otherwise, it may hinder your fate."

  Su Xun rarely saw Xu Ziqing with such a serious attitude, and immediately shrunk his neck, feeling a chill on his back.

  He didn't really have any intention of being against Xu Ziting, but because yesterday Xu Ziting took the initiative to talk to Xu Ziqing, he thought it was interesting and wanted to tease Xu Ziqing from time to time. Who would have thought that it would be misunderstood by Xu Ziqing, it's really unjust...
