Chapter 181 Who is Yuanshi Tianzun?

Indeed, there was a Yin Corpse. Well, they are elites of the Taiyi Sect; it would be strange if there wasn't a Yin Corpse.


Zhang Yuanqing first scrutinized the Maoshan Taoist, then the tall figure behind him. As a Night Wanderer, he could tell at a glance that it was a Yin Corpse. It wore loose long sleeves and trousers, with silver rings wrapped around each wrist, covering the two forearms.


“I wonder what profession he is…” Zhang Yuanqing then sized up the teenager, who was fair and thin, lacking masculinity, dressed in black clothes and trousers, with rattan greaves tied to his calves. The thin teenager looked over, a polite smile on his face:


“Yuanshi Tianzun, I have heard so much about you!”


"Every time I hear your name, I can't help but think of the phrase 'Elder Sun is confused!' It's like an instinct, completely brainwashed.” Laughter erupted from the audience. Elder Sun turned his head and swept a cold, ruthless gaze over the disciples behind him. The Taiyi Sect members fell silent and lowered their heads, stifling their laughter. “Your name is also very unique, making me subconsciously think of Uncle Jiu.”


Zhang Yuanqing shouted towards the elder's seat, "Elder Sun, this kid says you're confused! Do you want me to help you take him down?"


The surrounding laughter grew louder. This meme was well-known and widely circulated among officials. From the Five Elements Alliance to the Taiyi Sect, anyone who liked surfing the internet basically knew about it. Hearing the person involved make fun of it like this added to the humor and interest.


Elder Sun's face was dark, and he didn't say anything.


Elder Hongying looked strangely at Dog Elder; "This child is quite lively."


She rarely saw someone so casually teasing an elder. When that Maoshan child said those words, he didn't even dare to look back. This Yuanshi Tianzun was fine, directly shouting at Old Sun. Dog Elder responded, "That's because you haven't seen him kowtow." In the arena, the Maoshan Taoist said:


"You really don't have a Yin Corpse. The comments on the rankings say that your overall strength is very strong, especially in dungeon raiding. As for your own strength, you should rely more on items, right?" "No, I never rely on items!" Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice, "What I rely on is an unyielding will, a belief in victory."


While the two were talking, the audience in the seats was also discussing.


"Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't have a Yin Corpse? I heard that a Night Wanderer without a Yin Corpse and Spirit Servant is an incomplete Night Wanderer."


"Yes. It's like a Fire Controller having a violent temper, a Wood Controller having recovery, and a Listener having insight. Yin Corpses and Spirit Servants are important means of control for Night Wanderers. Oh, so I understand it as Yuanshi Tianzun being ranked 11th in the top 10/top 20 rankings. I thought those scholars were suppressing him."


"Isn't Yuanshi Tianzun going to fight two against one? The interlude competition can't use trump card items. It's over; the situation is unfavorable to us. Yuanshi is the face of our Five Elements Alliance. If he's stepped on by the Taiyi Sect's Night Wanderer, we'll lose a lot of face." "It's not certain he'll lose. Someone who can clear two S-rank dungeons, one high-difficulty A-rank dungeon, and has killed Li Xianzong won't lose so easily. Just watch."


In the Taiyi Sect's area, Yuan Ting sighed, "Yuanshi became a Way of the Extraordinary too short a time ago, lacking foundation. He probably doesn't even have a Spirit Servant. At least, I haven't heard of it." Sun Miaomiao frowned, "He might not even be able to beat Maoshan. Won't it be difficult for me to encounter him?" If she didn't encounter him, how would she defeat him and exchange him for Xiao Hong from Grandpa? Zhao Chenghuang, a few seats away, said in a cold, calm tone: "That's why he's only ranked eleventh, and Maoshan is ranked ninth."


Bill Tarantino, who entered the dungeon to watch the interlude competition as a member of a friendly organization, suddenly turned his head and looked at Annie beside him, saying, "I remember that the Devil Lord, at level 5, relied on his own hard power to defeat a level 6 Punisher."


Embarrassing


"There was such a thing. At that time, the Devil Lord was already hooked up with Betty, but he had a strong wariness towards the Goddess Association. No matter how Betty seduced him, he just wouldn't go abroad or meet the president." "So the president found Betty's former lover and asked him to come forward, using jealousy as a reason to suppress the Devil Lord, but in reality, she wanted to forcibly bring him back to heaven. As a result, that trash lost miserably." Bill Tarantino nodded slightly, looked at Yuanshi Tianzun in the arena, and slowly said:


"Whether it's the Saint stage or the Extraordinary stage, fighting above your level is an extremely difficult thing, and those who can do it are all outstanding. Yuanshi Tianzun lacks foundation and is at a disadvantage compared to the Maoshan Taoist." "But this is exactly the time to verify his potential. If you regard him as the second Devil Lord, it's a good opportunity to compare them."


Annie nodded slowly, "That's what I think too." Then she shook her head and corrected:


"I don't regard him as the second Devil Lord. I think he can replace the Devil Lord and become a Night Wanderer controlled and invested in by the Goddess Association. The president once said that the Taiyi Sect's sect leader evaluated the Devil Lord as the Night Wanderer with the most potential in the past fifty years. Such a genius will not appear for decades."


Mr. Bill smiled, "Then let's wait and see!"


On the southwest side of the audience seats, Fu Qingyang, wearing a white suit, stared intently at the arena with a cold expression. "Boss, are you nervous? Are you worried that Yuanshi Tianzun will lose?"


The speaker was a scene kid noble, with yellow hair, permed into a fluffy style, setting off a thin face. His eyes were arrogant, and his expression was unruly, very much in line with the "noble" temperament. In the White Tiger Guard, only Qicilang called Fu Qingyang boss instead of gang leader.


Fu Qingyang ignored him. A ponytail woman next to him said:


"Yuanshi Tianzun is quite handsome. Lingjun always says in the group that he's a pervert. I thought he was a wretched little boy." Qicilang sneered, "Fixed idea. Isn't Lingjun a pervert? Is he ugly?"


The ponytail woman was none other than "You Feng Laiyi" in the White Tiger Guard. She had a clean and beautiful oval face, wheat-colored skin, and was concise and capable, like a well-trained policewoman. You Feng Laiyi ignored Qicilang and turned to look at Fu Qingyang's handsome profile, saying:


"Gang leader, Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't have a Yin Corpse. There are certain restrictions on powerful items in the interlude competition. If he loses as the first member of the White Tiger Guard to fight, it will inevitably be an unsuccessful start. "He won't lose." Fu Qingyang said indifferently, "Yuanshi is the type who gets stronger when facing stronger opponents. The stronger the enemy, the greater the potential he will unleash. I hope the Maoshan Taoist can bring him some pressure." The gang leader has such a high evaluation of Yuanshi Tianzun? You Feng Laiyi raised an eyebrow and stopped talking, patiently watching the battle.


Qicilang said sourly, "Boss, you think so highly of him. I'm not happy..."


In the arena, Zhang Yuanqing's mind was racing, quickly formulating a battle plan based on the information he had interrogated from Wang Tai.


I can't use the Red Dancing Shoes and Yin-Yang Robe too early. If I exhaust my trump cards on the Maoshan Taoist, I will definitely be targeted in the subsequent battles, and winning the championship will be almost impossible. The Vajra Pestle's ability to break enchantments can restrain Yin Corpses, no, it can kill Yin Corpses, but this item contains the power of the sun, and its level is too high. Directly using it will definitely be judged as a violation. After all, there are too many second-generation spirits in this kind of arena competition. If there are no such restrictions, in the end, it will purely be a competition of parents.


Now everyone thinks that I don't have Spirit Servants and Yin Corpses. This is an opportunity that can be used. I'll show weakness to lure the enemy, making the Maoshan Taoist careless, and then rely on some unimportant items to gradually force out his methods. When the Maoshan Taoist's moves are exhausted, I'll let Number One of the Dead and "Little Doubi" strike, catching the opponent off guard.


But the key is, I have to be able to withstand the opponent's all-out output with limited items. If I can't withstand it and get killed, then I'll be trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice. At this time, the Armored Swordsman said loudly:


"Ten minutes are up. The match begins!"


"Wait a minute," Zhang Yuanqing looked at the thin teenager and said with a sincere face, "Elder Sun is waving at you, as if he has something to say." The Maoshan Taoist was stunned, thinking that he had just boldly teased Elder Sun, and was immediately shocked, thinking that this petty elder,


He quickly turned his head to look at Elder Sun.


Elder Sun in the elder's seat was furious, "Idiot!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Maoshan Taoist heard a loud gunshot. "Ding ding!"


A tall figure stood in front of the Maoshan Taoist, arms crossed, just in time to block the bullet's trajectory. The silver rings on the forearms burst into dazzling sparks, and the Yin Corpse shook all over. The blasting effect of the pistol!


The Maoshan Taoist turned his head sharply, a layer of cold sweat seeping out from his back, and glared at Yuanshi Tianzun, "Despicable!


Knowing that you are at a disadvantage, you simply abandon all pretense and launch a sneak attack? To win, you can abandon your bottom line?" If the Yin Corpse hadn't been intelligent and taken the initiative to save its master, he would have been completely ruined in the first round.


Under the gaze of everyone, with so many people watching, Zhang Yuanqing would not allow the other party to sling mud. He responded loudly;


"The winner is always right, deceit is part of the game. You are also an experienced Way of the Extraordinary. Why are you pretending to be a lotus flower here? Your rage is only because I ambushed you, not because you ambushed me." "Oh, I forgot, your slinging mud is also a tactic, trying to create a shameless persona for me."


While speaking, his hands didn't stop moving, switching angles and pulling the trigger while wearing the Insight Glasses, ensuring that the bullets hit their target. Fiery red bullet trajectories poured towards the Maoshan Taoist and the Yin Corpse.


The Maoshan Taoist rolled on the spot and disappeared.


Bang bang bang! The bullets hit the ground, blasting out shallow pits.


Zhang Yuanqing's eyes swept across the entire arena, searching for the Maoshan Taoist's whereabouts. He fired a shot each to the front, back, left, and right, testing the other party's location. But they all missed. The other party didn't take the opportunity to sneak over and attack.


At this time, the Yin Corpse grabbed its left wrist with its right hand and its right wrist with its left hand, and with a sudden pull, the silver rings on its arms flew out one by one, leaving one silver ring on each arm. The eighteen arm rings seemed to have a strong magnetic resonance between them, suspended in the air, buzzing and vibrating.


The Yin Corpse suddenly punched out with both fists. Driven by the invisible magnetic force, the eighteen silver rings flew towards Zhang Yuanqing like a storm, bringing with them a sharp whistling sound. "Magnetic force? What kind of profession's item is this." Zhang Yuanqing sprang up with both legs and pounced to the side, rolling continuously. A muffled explosion came from behind, accompanied by the scattering of rocks. This destructive power is much greater than that of a blasting pistol.


Zhang Yuanqing stopped rolling. Just as he sprang to his feet, a chill suddenly ran down his spine. A cold, gleaming short knife emerged from the void, steadily and swiftly stabbing towards his heart. Zhang Yuanqing threw the blasting pistol into the air, and a pair of gauntlets appeared on his hands at some point. He didn't dodge or avoid, and his fists collided against his chest.


"Boom!"


An exaggerated explosion sounded, and a violent wave of air, mixed with flames, swept in all directions.


At the position behind Zhang Yuanqing, a faint white light screen spontaneously appeared, like a solid outer wall, blocking the raging flames and air waves.


As a leader in the extraordinary stage of the Taiyi Sect, the Maoshan Taoist was not lacking in items. That heart-protecting mirror could not only observe the movements within a hundred meters but also serve as a defense. The short knife was unobstructed and successfully pierced Yuanshi Tianzun's heart.


At this moment, many people in the audience were on the edge of their seats.


The scene of blood splattering that everyone imagined didn't happen. The short knife pierced Yuanshi Tianzun's heart, as if shattering a reflection in the water. It was just an illusion created by illusion. Zhang Yuanqing's true body retreated into Night Wander and appeared behind the Maoshan Taoist, catching the falling blasting pistol. He pressed the muzzle and pulled the trigger towards the heart. Bang bang bang! The muzzle spewed flames, and he rashly emptied the bullets in the magazine. Red bullet trajectories tore through the Maoshan Taoist's body. This was also an illusion created by illusion. "Impulsive. I shouldn't have emptied the magazine so quickly, but I couldn't help it. The two Fire Controller profession items made me lose my mind." Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, Zhang Yuanqing quickly retreated and entered Night Wander. At the same time, the Maoshan Taoist also disappeared. Only the Yin Corpse was left standing there blankly in the arena.


The brief confrontation came to an end, and a loud cheer erupted from the audience. "Wonderful!"


"The Maoshan Taoist and the Yin Corpse cooperated well. The offensive rhythm was very tight. I almost thought Yuanshi Tianzun was done for just now."


"Did you see that Yuanshi Tianzun's action of throwing the pistol was to pave the way for a subsequent sneak attack, or was it unintentional? If it was the former, how did he know that the fire explosion would be ineffective against the Maoshan Taoist?" "The battle of star players is just different. It's full of crises, and everything feels like details. It's so damn exciting."


Among the audience present, the number of Way of the Extraordinary in the extraordinary stage was the largest. The battle between the two was nothing to the Saints and Elders, but for these Way of the Extraordinary in the extraordinary stage, it was a high-end game. After a long period of "silence," Zhang Yuanqing, who didn't have much experience, took the lead in exiting Night Wander.


Almost at the same time, the Yin Corpse swept its arms, and the arm rings in the potholes buzzed and flew up, crashing towards him. During the flight, they formed a long whip of interconnected rings, sweeping across his waist.


The whistling sound came rushing towards him. Zhang Yuanqing's feet gripped the ground fiercely, and his upper body leaned back violently, showing remarkable flexibility. He avoided the long whip's sweep with a limbo. At this time, that scene from just now reappeared. A sharp short knife appeared out of thin air at Zhang Yuanqing's lower abdomen, stabbing down fiercely.


At this time, he was still in the "limbo" position, with no way to avoid it.


A fierce glint flashed in Zhang Yuanqing's eyes. The blasting pistol in his hand disappeared, and a chilling Willow Blade appeared. Then, he took the initiative to stand up, leaning towards the short knife, while simultaneously delivering the Bloodthirsty Blade. "Puff!"


The short knife pierced his abdomen, burying itself to the hilt.


The Bloodthirsty Blade, infused with all his strength, was blocked by a faint white light sac. Then, the light screen "popped" and shattered into fragments of light, dissipating. The Maoshan Taoist had no choice but to draw his knife and retreat to avoid the enemy's counterattack after being injured.


Great, it broke the armor. The first step is complete. Hiss, it hurts to death. Fortunately, that knife is not a possession of the Enchanting Succubus. Zhang Yuanqing retreated while covering his bloodied abdomen. This wasn't a gamble. He had obtained the information of the top ten strong players on the list from Wang Tai in advance. The Maoshan Taoist didn't have a weapon similar to the Bloodthirsty Blade.


That's why he dared to boldly exchange injury for defense. The Bloodthirsty Blade didn't disappoint him. It was accurate in breaking armor against this kind of energy-formed barrier. A clamor rose from the audience. In the second round of the confrontation, it was obvious that Yuanshi Tianzun had suffered a loss, and it was a big loss. It's worthy of being a Night Wanderer. His self-healing ability is powerful. If it were a Fire Controller, Listener, or Water Ghost, this knife would basically determine the outcome. The ranking on the list is indeed worth its weight in gold. The Maoshan Taoist is stronger than Yuanshi Tianzun.


‘Good article::


A shrill scream sounded, and the Yin Corpse swung the "long whip," lashing out head-on.


Broken is like Zhang Yuanqing or ketone. Or Teng talk, or sincerity. The dangerous and dangerous call of L hit a good thing. The audience who was being watched by the audience was worried for him. Zhang Yuanqing was not acting, he was really embarrassed.


He had to avoid attacks from the Yin Corpse while guarding against sneak attacks from the Maoshan Taoist, like walking a tightrope. If he was hit, he would lose half his life.


The Maoshan Taoist's writing style is very similar to when I dealt with Ou Xiangrong. He acts as a useless master and launches sneak attacks. With one enemy on one side, I have already been injured. If this continues, I will be sucked into the Yin sooner or later.


Therefore, the correct response is to attack the Yin Corpse, and the Maoshan Taoist must also be able to predict this, so he has been slow to appear, most likely waiting for me at the Yin Corpse.


Zhang Yuanqing pounced to the side, avoiding the long whip that was hitting him head-on, and used Night Wander to enter stealth. He carried the Bloodthirsty Blade in his hand, running towards the Yin Corpse swiftly and silently.


He went around from the side to the front, held the Bloodthirsty Blade in reverse, and slashed at the Yin Corpse's neck with all his strength. When he tested with the first wave of gunfire, he confirmed that this Yin Moon Corpse was not a defensive type. The arm rings equipped on it also indicated that it was not a close-combat type.


With the sharpness of the Bloodthirsty Blade, this slash would be enough to cut off its head. "Puff!"


The Bloodthirsty Blade swept across the Yin Corpse's neck, transmitting a muffled sound of cutting through water.


The Yin Corpse's head transformed into a clear, transparent water ball, a water ball that was immune to all physical attacks. Water Ghost?! This is the corpse of a Water Ghost.


Zhang Yuanqing's pupils constricted slightly, and he subconsciously clenched his fists, about to trigger the skill of the Brute Gauntlets, evaporating the Yin Corpse's head. This was the best way to deal with Water Ghosts. Chirp chirp chirp


Suddenly, a gloomy wind swept across the arena, and a shrill cry sounded.


A mourning stick covered in white paper emerged from the rear and struck Zhang Yuanqing's back hard. Snap!


His body stiffened violently, his face turned pale, and he felt his spirit being torn apart. Blood oozed from his eyes, nose, and ears. He had never experienced such pain in his life. At the same time, it was the first time in his life that he had encountered a serious attack on the spirit level. This mourning stick, when it struck his body, injured his soul.


On the other side, the attacked Yin Corpse quickly retreated to the edge of the arena, shaking its hands violently. The long whip disintegrated into silver rings, enveloping Zhang Yuanqing and hovering around him on his left and right. "Buzz buzz...."


These silver rings resonated with each other, sensing each other, forming an invisible magnetic field cage, tightly imprisoning Zhang Yuanqing and preventing him from using Night Wander. "You've lost!" The fair and thin teenager appeared, decisively striking out with a second attack. The noise in the audience rose sharply. There were many people cursing, all of them extraordinary Way of the Extraordinary of the Five Elements Alliance, their emotions as excited as fans who had lost a game.


Guan Ya, Xie Lingxi, Bill, Annie, the Taiyi Sect members, many star players, and Yuanshi Tianzun's friends and enemies all showed different expressions at this moment. Disappointment, anxiety, sneers, smugness


At the same time as drawing out the mourning stick, the Maoshan Taoist saw Yuanshi Tianzun trapped in the cage and revealed a strange smile: "The second step is complete."


Next second, the arm rings fell to the ground with a clatter, losing their power.


At the last moment, Zhang Yuanqing, who was free from the trap, entered Night Wander, avoiding the strike of the mourning stick.


What's going on? The Maoshan Taoist's heart sank, and he also entered Night Wander, dodging any possible attacks, while turning his head to look at the Yin Corpse. He saw a round and cute little infant spirit with sparse downy hair lying on the Yin Corpse's head.


The Yin Corpse seemed to have received some kind of manipulation and froze in place, unmoving.


On the Taiyi Sect's side of the arena, Sun Miaomiao suddenly stood up, staring straight at the round and cute little infant spirit in the arena, his breathing suddenly becoming rapid. He has a Spirit Servant? The Maoshan Taoist was both surprised and angry. In fact, the Maoshan also had Spirit Servants, but if the opponent was a Night Wanderer, sacrificing a Spirit Servant would be like giving away food. Night Wanderers' Spirit Devour is restrained against all spirits. Based on this reason, both sides tacitly agreed not to use the Spirit Travel skill.


"Shura Martial God"


At this time, Zhang Yuanqing appeared next to the Yin Corpse and put a black mask with a white skull printed on it on the Yin Corpse's face. The fierce light in the Yin Corpse's eyes went out. Like a machine with its power cut off, it stopped running and crashed to the ground.


The Maoshan Taoist's face changed drastically, and he quickly calmed his emotions, constantly communicating with the imprint in his sea of consciousness, but no matter how he tried to activate it, the Yin Corpse did not respond. It was sealed?! He had to take off that mask... The Maoshan Taoist calmed his mind, and while Night Wander time was still available, he quietly ran towards the Yin Corpse. Zhang Yuanqing slowly clenched his fist and slammed it hard against his chest. "Boom!"


The violent air waves, wrapped in fire, raged throughout the arena.


At this time, the groundwork of breaking the armor came into play. The Maoshan Taoist, without the defense of the heart-protecting mirror, was shaken out by the shockwave of the explosion, his face was scorched black, and he staggered backward. "The third step..." Zhang Yuanqing silently muttered in his heart.


"Be careful behind you!"


Someone shouted loudly on the Taiyi Sect's side of the arena.


The Maoshan Taoist was suddenly shocked and looked back, only to see a lithe black shadow attacking silently. Snap! The attacker flicked his wrist, and his right arm, like a spear, suddenly thrust out.


A helper? Is the Five Elements Alliance not following the rules? No, this is a Yin Corpse... The Maoshan Taoist didn't have time to be surprised. He leaned back and to the side, narrowly avoiding the straight punch. Deng deng deng... The Maoshan Taoist's center of gravity was like mercury, constantly adjusting his steps, showing a balance that didn't belong to a Night Wanderer, and he didn't fall.


He/leg retreated and looked at the rattan protection clothing. It was a Wood Sprite profession item. It could give the wearer super balance and be good at the whole rock. Flash avoids, walks on steel warps, etc. In battle, this kind of great balance is essential.


Pa pa pa... Number One of the Dead had fierce eyes and immediately launched a fierce attack, using both fists and feet, hitting the Maoshan Taoist repeatedly and making him retreat, unable to parry. Fire Controller? Enchanting Succubus?


The Maoshan Taoist's heart sank. His mentality was a little broken. From advantage to disadvantage, the reversal of the situation was too sudden, and it was difficult for him to accept it for a while. But what made him lose heart was Yuanshi Tianzun's operation.


He clearly had Spirit Servants and Yin Corpses, but he resisted using them, deliberately showing weakness to paralyze him, first breaking his armor, then secretly manipulating Spirit Servants to sneak attack, sealing the corpse, calculating everything clearly. The Maoshan Taoist felt the gap between himself and him. "Calm down, calm down


If you stabilize your mentality and unlock the seal on the Yin Corpse, you will have a chance to turn the tide."


He used his powerful balance to fall backward, while communicating with the power of Taiyin, using Night Wander. "Ah Suddenly, a layer of black gas enveloped the Maoshan Taoist's face, and he hugged his head and screamed in pain.


His sanity quickly fell, and the instincts of frustration and anger dominated his actions. Ignoring everything, he rushed towards the Yin Corpse, wanting to tear apart this roadblock that was preventing him from achieving victory. "The fourth step is complete." Zhang Yuanqing held a scarecrow in his hand, and looked calmly at the Maoshan Taoist who had lost his sanity. The scarecrow was a very important trump card, and the purpose was to make Mao [Taoist] give up "Night Travel."


No one could do anything to a Night Wanderer who was determined to entangle and delay time. Only by making the Maoshan Taoist lose his sanity could Number One of the Dead quickly establish victory. Pa pa pa!


One-r-one heavy fist melted into Di Taoist, Number One of the Dead kicked, fast and fierce, how could a 3-level Night Wanderer defeat the winner in melee combat? Mao Taoist staggered backward, his teeth fell out, his nose bridge was broken, and his sternum was fractured.


But he, who had lost his sanity, would only grit his teeth and charge, forgetting to admit defeat. Seeing this, the Armored Swordsman stood up and shouted, "The battle is over. Yuanshi Tianzun wins!"


Zhang Yuanqing snapped his fingers, and Number One of the Dead kicked over the Maoshan Taoist, stepping on his chest and standing tall in the arena. Zhang Yuanqing looked in the direction of the Taiyi Sect and shouted, "Who was it who reminded me just now? Is the Taiyi Sect unable to afford to lose?"
