Chapter 473 Making History
On the martial arts stage, Yuan Ming bowed slightly to the handsome young man in a white robe.
The other party was indifferent and did not return the greeting. Instead, he looked at Yuan Ming with a gloomy look.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming was a little surprised. After careful recollection, he still could not remember when he had seen this man, let alone any feud with him. Naturally, he did not understand why he was angry.
At this time, Cui Yu had already slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist impatiently.
The next moment, a scorching air wave surged from his side, like a wall of fire on all sides, pushing towards the surroundings.
Yuan Ming suddenly felt a burning breath coming towards him, and his breathing stagnated.
Beside Cui Yu, a red fire dragon about four or five feet long had appeared. It had a fiery red horn on its head and was covered with red scales. It spewed out a large piece of fiery red demon cloud. Its huge figure was hidden in the middle, and it was quite like a dragon that could only be seen from the head but not the tail.
"This is the Red Horned Fire Dragon! It seems to have reached the upper level of the third level!"
"Hongzhi Island won two games in a row. I thought there might be a chance in the third game, but now it seems impossible."
"Of course, the status of a first-class island cannot be shaken by a second-class island like Hongzhi Island! Cui Yu seems to be in a bad mood. It's a question whether that kid can survive!"
"Yehhuo Island actually sent such a person to participate in the competition. Isn't it too much of a fuss?"
The onlookers exclaimed and discussed, and the voices that looked down on Yuan Ming rang everywhere.
"Red Horned Fire Dragon! It looks like the dragon bloodline is quite strong. Could it be the direct bloodline of the Red Dragon Clan?" The person in charge of Hongyu Island asked with his eyes lit up.
"Brother Xu has a good eye and guessed it right. In order to capture this dragon, the island owner also took action personally. It took a lot of effort." Yan Xiang's face was slightly proud.
"Congratulations to Yehuo Island for adding another powerful spirit beast!" The cultivator of Hongyu Island laughed.
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Bishuirou's face, and she couldn't help looking at Xiying next to her.
"Don't worry." Xiying looked calm.
Yuan Ming looked at the red-horned fire dragon and then pressed his spirit beast bag.
"Show yourself, Lei Yu."
The next moment, a flash of lightning flashed outside his body, and the dazzling lightning stung the eyes of many onlookers.
Accompanied by a clear cry, a huge thunder and lightning bird appeared above Yuan Ming's head, spreading its wings and flapping slowly, with lightning flowing under its wings, making bursts of "sizzling" electric current sounds.
At the same time, dark clouds gathered over the venue, condensing into a huge dark cloud, with lightning flashing inside and faint thunder coming from it.
The amazing momentum of the thunderstorm gradually reduced the discussion in the square until everyone quieted down.
"The helpers invited by Hongzhi Island are not simple. They shocked everyone in the last match. The cultivators in this match are not weak either. Looking at the appearance of this spiritual bird, it seems to be the Thunder Wing Bird recorded in the illustration. This bird is said to be the descendant of the ancient Thunder Peng, and its potential is even higher than the Red Horned Fire Dragon." The person in charge of Hongyu Island said.
"The Thunder Wing Bird has extraordinary potential, but it is only the lower level of the third level at the moment, so it is not a concern." Yan Xiang didn't care.
On the martial arts stage, Cui Yu stared at the Thunder Wing Bird with greed in his eyes.
"Thunder Wing Bird! I have been looking for this bird for many years, but I didn't expect to meet it here. It seems that this trip is really right! Boy, I am in a good mood. If you hand over this Thunder Wing Bird, I can spare your life!" Cui Yu laughed.
Yuan Ming was too lazy to pay attention to the crazy opponent and directly ordered Lei Yu to take action.
There was a thunder and lightning explosion in the air, and Lei Yu's figure disappeared immediately.
In just a moment, Lei Yu's figure reappeared, but he suddenly appeared in front of Cui Yu. He opened his mouth and roared, and a thick silver lightning condensed instantly and bombarded him.
Cui Yu's spiritual beast, the red-horned fire dragon, also reacted very quickly. The red light on the horn on its head suddenly brightened, and a thick flame shot out straight and collided with the silver lightning.
"Boom" sound.
The lightning and the flame exploded at the same time, turning into electric wires and sparks scattering.
Before the impact wave dissipated this time, Lei Yu was surrounded by lightning, and disappeared in a flash.
The next moment, he appeared behind Cui Yu, opened his mouth and roared again, and performed the lightning magic.
The silver lightning burst out and rushed to Cui Yu's back.
"As expected of a spiritual beast with the blood of Lei Peng, the speed is really fast!" Cui Yu turned and slapped the back.
As his sleeves fluttered, a red flame shot out, turned into a sharp cone, instantly shattered the golden lightning, and stabbed towards the thunderstorm behind.
However, at this moment, the thunderstorm had already flown to the other side quickly and attacked again with the thunder strike magic.
And this time, it was the red-horned fire dragon that blocked the attack.
With its extremely fast speed, the thunderstorm successfully delayed Cui Yu by itself, and Yuan Ming in the distance was not idle either, pinching his fingers to perform the rain-praying technique.
With Yuan Ming's current cultivation, the effect of performing the rain-praying technique is far from comparable to before. The water vapor in the East China Sea is even more abundant. The thunderclouds above the arena, which were originally only a few dozen feet in radius, quickly expanded and soon covered the entire Fusang City.
Layers of heavy thunderclouds continued to overlap and accumulate, making the clouds extremely thick.
Yuan Ming looked at the black clouds in the sky and nodded slightly.
The pitch-black clouds seemed to have lowered the sky above the martial arts stage a little. A strong sense of oppression came over them, making the people watching around feel a depressing atmosphere.
"Tsk tsk, Fellow Daoist Yan Xiang, the situation of Junior Brother Cui Yu doesn't seem to be very good." The person in charge of Hongyu Island frowned and said.
"Humph, the cultivator from Hongzhi Island has some means, but his cultivation is only at the early stage of Jindan. The gap in realm is there. It's just that he relies on the magical power of the spirit beast to barely suppress Cui Yu." Yan Xiang snorted and said indifferently.
He believed that Cui Yu would know what he could find.
Cui Yu was naturally clear about this, and he also saw Yuan Ming's intention. It was precisely through the spirit beast that he suppressed himself. He once again accumulated power to launch a big move in an attempt to make the final decision.
The reason why Cui Yu did not take countermeasures immediately was that he was waiting for an opportunity.
The speed of the Thunder Wing Bird was too fast, and it was difficult for him to catch it, but he firmly believed that the Thunder Wing Bird would never be able to maintain such a fast speed for a long time, and once it showed signs of fatigue, it would be the time for him to counterattack.
As for whether Yuan Ming's accumulated big move would be launched before this, Cui Yu did not care.
Just like what Yan Xiang said, the gap between the early stage of Jindan and the late stage of Jindan cannot be measured in miles. He is confident that no matter how Yuan Ming accumulates strength, he cannot defeat him.
Yuan Ming can basically sense Cui Yu's thoughts through the emotional magic power, and he is speechless.
He is already quite confident, and Cui Yu in front of him is even more confident than him, allowing him to use his means.
"In this case, I won't be polite." Yuan Ming said secretly, controlling the thunderstorm to use the magic power of summoning thunderclouds.
The thunderclouds in the sky became dense again, and there were arcs of electricity running through the clouds, but the speed of the thunderstorm also slowed down.
Cui Yu's eyes flashed, and he immediately formed seals with both hands and threw a golden wire net forward.
The golden wire net flew out quickly, opened wide in the air, and a blazing flame rose from it, covering Yuan Ming completely.
"Go, kill him!" Cui Yu shouted.
The red-horned fire dragon had been frustrated for a long time. Now that it received the order from its master, it twisted its body and soared above the mist, rushing towards Yuan Ming with great momentum.
When it approached, blazing flames rose around it, and the scorching temperature instantly dried up the surrounding water vapor, and even the mist that enveloped it disappeared.
The scales on the red-horned fire dragon shrank inch by inch, and the firepower around it was concentrated on the horn on its head.
With a sharp roar!
A golden light burning with flames burst out from its horn and pointed directly at Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming looked at the golden light coming straight at him, without any panic. He pinched his fingers and led it to the air, performing the method of Jinkui Fusion Spirit.
A silver electric light enveloped his body, and his figure disappeared in the electric light.
Almost at the same time, the electric light on Lei Yu's back crackled, and Yuan Ming's figure suddenly appeared.
"Thunder escape technique!" Yan Xiang frowned, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
"Cui Yu, stop playing around. The opponent is strong and should not be underestimated!" He communicated with Cui Yu through voice transmission.
Cui Yu also noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly retracted the fire net, covering himself and forming a spherical protective net.
He stretched out his hands and used all his magic power to pour it into the fire net. Large pieces of red flames rolled out and formed a sea of fire around him.
"It's too late to take action now." Yuan Ming sat cross-legged on Lei Yu and lent all his magic power to Lei Yu.
Lei Yu's aura suddenly surged, breaking through the third level of the middle stage, and continued to rise until it stopped at the peak of the third level of the middle stage.
"Add some more strength." Yuan Ming flipped his hand and took out an object, which turned into a silver light and shot out into Lei Yu's mouth.
The silver lightning stopped in his body and turned into a silver hammer, which was the Thunder God Hammer.
An extremely powerful thunder and lightning force burst out from the Thunder God Hammer and was injected into Lei Yu's body.
A shattering sound suddenly came from Lei Yu's body. The lightning demon pill that had not been completely refined shattered and turned into pure demon power, which merged into his body.
Lei Yu's strength was at the peak of the third-level lower stage. After absorbing this demon pill, he finally took another step forward and reached the third-level middle stage.
The demon power it exuded at this moment surged again and broke through to the third-level upper stage.
Feeling the unprecedented power in his body, Lei Yu screamed excitedly.
"Boom..."
In the dark clouds on the sky, a thunderous roar like a god's roar sounded, which made everyone's ears buzz. Countless thick lightning bolts emerged from the thunderclouds in the sky and gathered towards Lei Yu.
"This is the thunder control magic of the ancient Lei Peng. How can this third-level thunder-winged bird use it! Cui Yu, retreat quickly!" Seeing this scene, Yan Xiang couldn't keep calm and stood up suddenly and shouted.
The red-horned fire dragon also turned around and pounced back to help his master.
Cui Yu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He finally realized how stupid he had done. He opened his mouth and spit out two magic weapons, which were a fiery red Ruyi and a red gauze scarf, and set up two layers of defense around him.
Before he could do more, a thick silver lightning tore through the clouds and turned into a silver lightning column as thick as a millstone.
The terrifying silver lightning fell like a torrent from the sky, easily tearing the sea of fire. The light curtain formed by the fiery red Ruyi and the red gauze scarf also instantly broke into pieces, and Cui Yu's body was submerged in the silver lightning.
A big pit was blasted out on the ground of the ring, and thick lightning shot out in all directions. Wherever it passed, the ground of the ring was easily torn apart, leaving black marks.
Nearly half of the ring was submerged by silver lightning, and gusts of wind were set off.
Yuan Ming saw this scene with a calm face.
Borrowing his magic power, plus his own rain-praying technique and the power of the Thunder Hammer, Lei Yu's attack was comparable to the full-strength attack of a Yuanying-stage cultivator. It was normal to have such power.
He was only worried that Lei Yu would not be able to control his strength and kill Cui Yu.
The "booming" sound lasted for a few breaths before it finally stopped.
When the silver lightning completely dissipated, the fire net had turned into ashes and was completely destroyed.
In the center of the ground, Cui Yu's figure shrank into a ball, his whole body was extremely charred, and wisps of black smoke were emitted, as if he had been burned to charcoal.
The red-horned fire dragon was also affected by this shocking attack, half of its body was charred, and it fell to the ground and wailed.
The result of the victory was clear, Yuan Ming won, and Hongzhi Island won.
There was silence around the square at first, and then there was a tsunami-like cheering.
Xu Fu was also slightly startled, and stood up to announce the victory of Hongzhi Island!
On this day, Hongzhi Island created history and became the first case in the history of the Immortal Fruit Conference where a second-class island defeated a first-class island. This case will surely be passed down from generation to generation.
Yan Xiang could no longer care about other things at this moment. He immediately came to the martial arts stage. After checking, he found that Cui Yu was not dead. His injuries looked serious. His meridians and dantian had not been irreversibly damaged. It was obvious that the opponent deliberately showed mercy.
He breathed a sigh of relief and ordered people to carry Cui Yu back.
Yan Xiang took a deep look at Yuan Ming who had just landed on the stage not far away, and then informed Xu Fu, who was hosting the conference, and left first.
Afterwards, the contestants from the sixteen islands who successfully qualified for the next round of competition under the auspices of Xu Fu were all invited to the martial arts stage and praised and congratulated.
Yuan Ming glanced and found that the winning teams, except for their group, were exactly the same as the previous session. Wu Lu was standing in the team of Xueyan Island at this moment, and he secretly winked at him.
After Xu Fu announced the sixteen winning islands, he declared the successful conclusion of this round of competition. He then asked everyone to go back and recuperate while waiting for the next round of competition.
