"Bah!
I didn't expect you to have some tricks up your sleeve. I've underestimated you. "Xu Shun spat out a mouthful of blood and didn't answer Han Li as he muttered to himself.
He straightened his body, shrugged his shoulders, and shook his arms. As his entire body shook, his bones crackled like firecrackers.
Han Li still stood in place when he saw this, but his pupils shrank slightly as a cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Xu Shun roared, arched his body, and suddenly rushed straight at Han Li.
He clenched his fists, and the seventy-eight profound orifices on his body scattered everywhere. They resonated with each other, causing his entire body to be shrouded in a layer of lustrous brilliance like a membrane of True Polarity.
Seeing that Xu Shun was rushing over, Han Li didn't dodge this time. Instead, he focused his eyes and took a step forward to meet Xu Shun's attack.
Boom!
As Han Li took a step forward, several profound orifices on his arms lit up, and the Mysterious Fighting Platform beneath his feet shook violently.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Han Li took a step forward, the profound orifices on his arms lit up one after another, and the Mysterious Fighting Platform beneath him rumbled incessantly.
"Forty-eight, fifty-two, fifty-six …"
Xu Shun looked at the increasing number of profound orifices on Han Li's body, and fear finally appeared in his eyes. His heart was filled with doubts, and he didn't know if Yi Liya's information was wrong, or if he was deliberately deceiving him?
While his mind was unsettled, the distance between the two of them rapidly shortened. Han Li roared, and the eighteen special profound orifices on his arms shone brightly. He had used Tu Gang's Vajra Strength Art.
If anyone had paid attention to Tu Gang's battle earlier, they would have noticed that the Vajra Strength Art that Han Li used was not as unbridled and extravagant as Han Li's, but it was more divine and quintessential.
Xu Shun was in a difficult position at this moment, and he could only roar and throw out a punch with all his might.
The two mysterious apertures on the end of his fist lit up at the same time, and the layer of lustrous brilliance suddenly seemed to turn into a solid object in an instant, reflecting the bright light of a multi-faceted crystal stone, and smashed towards Han Li's right fist.
Just as the two of them were about to collide, Xu Shun's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, and a sharp white bone suddenly pierced out from the gap between his middle finger and index finger. It flickered with a layer of brilliant starlight.
"Star Bone …"
Han Li's eyes flashed and he snorted coldly, but he didn't show any signs of stopping his punch.
The two fingers formed from the Flowery Branch Heavenly Abode slightly protruded and collided with the sinister Star Bone hidden between Xu Shun's fingers.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out.
A violent explosion of starlight was accompanied by the sound of ice crystals shattering.
All of this sounded complicated, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye. The people in the stands only saw the dazzling starlight, and couldn't see clearly what happened inside.
Xu Shun, who was in the starlight, could see clearly. His two jet-black pupils reflected the figure of Han Li rushing out from the starlight, and he clearly saw the nearly one hundred mysterious apertures on his body that had lit up. His heart was filled with regret and resentment.
But at this time, it was already too late for him to retreat and admit defeat.
Han Li's figure had already rushed in front of him, and he followed up with a punch, directly piercing through his dantian and twisting the Nascent Soul hidden in it into pieces.
"Yi Liya, how dare you …"
Xu Shun only had time to curse, and blood had already filled his throat, leaving him no chance to speak again.
At this time, the people on the high platform were also attracted by the huge movement here, but they only saw that when the starlight scattered, Han Li's figure flew out and staggered, and Xu Shun's miserable corpse.
A hint of surprise flashed through many people's eyes, and those who had been optimistic about Xu Shun were even more dumbfounded.
However, as a result, this "Xun" platform became the first Xuan battle to have a death in this year's Five Cities Martial Tournament.
"Fellow Daoist Li, your acting skills are pretty good …" Chen Yang chuckled at the sight of Han Li's tattered body and collapsed on the ground.
Of all the people who had witnessed this scene, only he and Daoist Xie knew that Han Li was actually not injured, even though he looked a little haggard.
…
Moments later.
Two Xuan City soldiers carried Han Li to the place where he was being treated.
Along the way, Han Li sat up on his own, indicating that he was fine, and sent the two guards away with a few words of encouragement.
He found a secluded corner and sat down, murmuring, "Yi Liya …"
On the other side, as time passed, the battles on Yu Qi's platform also came to an end. Apart from Gu Qianxun and Yi Liya, the other two Qingyang City Xuan gladiators who participated in the battle all lost miserably. Fortunately, they surrendered in time and didn't lose their lives.
Among them, the Zhixuan City cultivator who fought with Gu Qianxun was far inferior to her in both the number of Xuan openings and cultivation. He was completely suppressed by Gu Qianxun from the beginning and was almost beaten to death in a few moves. He finally found a chance to surrender after much difficulty.
Yi Liya's strength was indeed extraordinary. He only used the power of 70 Xuan openings to force a Xuan gladiator with 80 Xuan openings from Tongyu City into a desperate situation, and finally won by beating his opponent until he passed out.
The two winners returned to the waiting passage at the same time, and the rest of the Qingyang City people came to congratulate them.
After Yi Liya won, his face was full of joy. His gaze swept across the crowd again and again, and when he didn't see Han Li's figure, his lips curled into a smile, and he deliberately asked, "Where's that Fellow Li?
Isn't he also in this round of Xuan Fights? "
"The eight Xuan Fights have all ended, but I don't think I saw him …" Du Long had been watching Gu Qianxun's battle, and only now did he notice that Li Feiyu hadn't returned.
"Looks like he was most likely defeated and sent to recuperate …" A Qingyang City cultivator said.
"I don't think so. Didn't I just hear that someone died on the 'Xun' Stage? If I remember correctly, Fellow Li was on that Xuan Dou Stage …" Another person said.
The more Yi Liya listened, the wider the smile on his face grew, while Gu Qianxun frowned.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Xing suddenly opened his mouth and called out, "Fellow Li …"
When the crowd heard this, they all turned around and saw Han Li stumbling towards them with tattered clothes.
"How is this possible …" Yi Liya was shocked.
"Fellow Li, you won?" Everyone was surprised and went up to greet him.
"It was a fluke, a fluke." Han Li waved his hand and said with a smile.
When Gu Qianxun saw this, the corner of her mouth curled and revealed a smile.
Han Li walked past Yi Liya step by step and said casually, "I won by fluke. Fellow Xu, on the other hand, was a little unlucky …"
When Yi Liya heard this, he did not know why, but he felt a chill in his heart.
Han Li didn't pay any more attention to him and walked away with Gu Qianxun.
…
A day passed by quickly, and with the end of the 32 rounds, the first round of elimination also came to an end.
There were no more waves in the next two rounds of the competition. Basically, there were no unexpected situations. There were no dark horses who won by luck, and there were no unexpected surprises from the main forces of the cities. However, there were still some small interludes in the process.
Among them, the one that people talked about the most was a Profound Gladiator from Opal City. When he fought with Zhu Ziyuan from Xuan City, he immediately admitted defeat, which was the fastest battle to end in the entire competition.
Han Li and Gu Qianxun originally thought that through the battle between the two, they would be able to catch a glimpse of the Xuan City Lord's glory, but in the end, they gained nothing.
After that, Han Li went to watch the battle between Du Long and Zhu Ziqing from Xuan City.
Although the latter was a woman and it was her first time participating in the Five Cities Martial Competition, her battle strength was not bad. Although she made a mistake during the battle, her overall strength was far above Du Long's.
After the two of them fought for over a hundred rounds, Du Long was still not a match and was defeated.
What made Han Li rather surprised was that Xuanyuan Xing, who had always been unknown in the city, had defeated a Profound Gladiator from Zhixuan City. Together with Han Li, Gu Qianxun and Yi Liya, they were ranked among the 32 victors.
Qingyang City occupied four of the 32 spots, and could be considered to have the lowest result among the five cities. Fortunately, they did not suffer any losses, which was a great fortune amidst the misfortune.
…
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. After a short period of peace, the second round of the Five Cities Martial Competition finally began.
Countless people from Xuan City once again poured into the Shuraba Field, and the people from the five cities also arrived one after another.
The people from Qingyang City had also arrived early. Due to the poor results of the first round, Qingyang City had become a faint laughing stock after the news spread. As they walked into the venue, there were people pointing and gossiping all along the way.
Du Long, Tu Gang and the others who lost were ashamed.
As the Lord of the city, Chen Yang's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and it was indescribably ugly.
It was not only because of the results of the first round, but also because the opponents of Han Li and the others in the second round were not weak.
After entering the waiting area, he brought the crowd to an empty space. He first looked around the crowd, and then slowly said,
"You don't have to be too concerned about the results of the first round. There was a lot of luck involved in it, and it is not a bad thing to see your own shortcomings.
Observe the next round, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. "
As he said that, his gaze landed on Gu Qianxun and he continued to speak.
"Qianxun, your opponent today is Zhu Ziqing of Xuan City. This girl is Zhu Ziyuan's younger sister. Although she is not as good as Zhu Ziyuan, her strength cannot be underestimated. Do not be careless."
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord of the city. Qianxun will pay attention." Gu Qianxun nodded.
"Li Feiyu, Hao Feng is an expert in Xuanzhi City who is second only to Feng Wuchen. It is said that he has already opened more than a hundred profound acupoints, and in the previous martial competition, he entered the top eight. You must be careful.
As long as there's life, there's hope. I don't need to say it, you should understand the saying. "Chen Yang looked at Han Li and warned.
Han Li did not say anything, and only nodded noncommittally.
"As for Xuanyuan Xing, your opponent today is Tong Yu City's Wu Chong. This person's strength cannot be underestimated, and he can be ranked in the top five of Tong Yu City. Just do your best." Chen Yang looked at Xuanyuan Xing, and from his words, it was obvious that he did not have much hope for Xuanyuan Xing.
"Rest assured, Lord of the city. I will definitely do my best, and will not weaken the prestige of Qingyang City!" Xuanyuan Xing did not have any dissatisfaction, and immediately cupped his hands in response.
