Chapter 1617

The second round of the competition ended with the last pair of disciples dying together. Presumably, these two people's fates would alert the others and prevent them from doing anything stupid!

Soon, the third round of the competition began. When Xiao Hua was pulled into the illusion formation by the Dharma token, there were no disciples from other sects waiting nearby. Xiao Hua was still muttering in his heart. Was the person he was going to face this round, Liu Weigang, who had just been expelled from Hao Domain?

If it was this guy, wouldn't Xiao Hua get a bye?

Could he get all three points without making a move?

Unfortunately, Xiao Hua had just entered the illusion not long ago. Before he could clearly see the lush mountain forest under his feet, not far away, a bright ball of light flashed by. A middle-aged cultivator with a medium height and a very tall and sturdy figure walked out from the brilliance with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Hua's lips curled into a smile as he cupped his hands: "I …"

However, before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged cultivator smashed the hand hidden behind his back and laughed sinisterly: "I know you are a disciple of Imperial Thunder Sect. Prepare to die!"

An emerald green bamboo-like magic artifact flickered as it flew into the air, instantly enveloping Xiao Hua within the emerald green light!

"Ah???"

Xiao Hua was shocked. He didn't dare to be negligent. With a wave of his hand, the witchdust was held in his hand. With a push of his magic power, the witchdust flew above Xiao Hua's head!

Without waiting for the witchdust's brilliance to scatter, the middle-aged cultivator had already prepared a spell seal on the magic artifact. With a rumbling sound, fist-thick and three meter wide green wooden strips appeared around Xiao Hua and rolled towards him!

Xiao Hua didn't have time to activate the witchdust's brilliance, but seeing these numerous green wooden strips, he didn't panic. He sneered: "Where did this wild brat come from? You actually don't dare to report your name?"

This middle-aged cultivator's magic artifact seemed similar to He Fang Yuan's Taiyi Green Light Rod. Since Xiao Hua could move freely under Taiyi Green Light Rod, he naturally didn't care about these green wooden strips.

"Rumble!" Following the rolling sound of the green wooden strips, Xiao Hua's figure swayed freely within the green wooden strips. Every time, he would inadvertently dodge an attack that appeared out of nowhere!

"Ah?"

The middle-aged cultivator seemed to have never seen such a dodging method before. He sneered, "Imperial Thunder Sect disciples have always been so cunning!

What kind of demonic technique is this? "

"You're a disciple of the Changbai Sect?"

Xiao Hua abruptly came to a realization, and he instantly understood why the middle-aged cultivator had long since concealed his magic tool and flew into the illusory realm. This fellow's intention was precisely to leave his life within the illusory realm!

Xiao Hua's eyes gradually narrowed, and the anger in his heart grew stronger!

"It's just this kind of insignificant skill, and you want to take my life?" Xiao Hua sneered.

"Haha, a kid in the early stage of the twelfth layer dares to talk to me like that?"

The middle-aged cultivator laughed and said, "I'm afraid that I'm the only one who can easily complete this task!"

"Mission?"

Xiao Hua's heart went cold when he heard this, and he instantly understood that the disciples of the Changbai Sect and Lightning-Control Sect would probably … fight to the death in this round!

As he spoke, the middle-aged cultivator changed his hand seal again, and the green wooden strips that rolled down from Xiao Hua's head suddenly spread out in all directions, and like a flood, they rolled down towards Xiao Hua from all directions!

"Come at me!"

Xiao Hua didn't seem to be nervous at all, and his Ethereal Steps became even more proficient. His body shuttled back and forth between the green wooden strips, leaving behind afterimages …

"This …" Time passed very quickly, and seeing that the time limit of half an incense stick was about to be up, the middle-aged cultivator was afraid that Xiao Hua would escape from the illusory realm, so he clenched his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on the bamboo shaped magic tool above Xiao Hua's head. There was a burst of crackling sounds, and the brilliance was exceptionally bright. When the brilliance gradually returned to normal, there were faint traces of dark red within the emerald green light!

"Go!"

The middle-aged cultivator formed a spell with both hands, and the bamboo shaped magic tool gradually disintegrated, turning into a dozen emerald green jade strips within the brilliance, and those jade strips began to slowly rotate within the brilliance, and the rotation path was very mysterious.

The middle-aged cultivator's magic tool began to change, and Xiao Hua, who was covered by the magic tool, couldn't help but be dumbfounded!

The green wooden strips that were just as thick as a fist actually gradually expanded to become as thick as an arm, and then they continued to change. In the end, they actually turned into thick green wooden strips that an adult couldn't wrap around with both arms!!!

Previously, Xiao Hua was still able to move freely and easily within the gaps between the green wooden strips, but now, countless huge green wooden strips were colliding with each other, creating huge rumbling sounds. How could there be any gaps for Xiao Hua to use the Ethereal Steps?

"This … What should I do?"

Xiao Hua clapped his hands, and first wanted to take out the demonic spear, but when his eyes saw the green wooden strips emitting boundless green light, Xiao Hua suddenly came to his senses. With a wave of his hand, he took out the "Spirit Crow Fire Net". Xiao Hua didn't dare to be negligent, and just as he took out the fire net, he immediately urged his magic power, casting the fire net in midair. The "Spirit Crow Fire Net" flew up in clumps, and as the fire net unfolded, the surrounding fire attribute spiritual energy was gradually sucked into the surroundings. Seeing strands of flames appear on the fire net, Xiao Hua laughed loudly: "I'll let you, this ruffian, experience this young master's methods!"

Subsequently, a dozen fist-sized fire crows flew out from the Spirit Crow Fire Net, and flames curled around their bodies. They flew towards the green wooden strips that were already pressing down on Xiao Hua's head.

"Boom!" Like dry wood meeting a raging fire, the green wooden strips immediately combusted. Within the flames, the rolling green wooden strips gradually disappeared, and once again turned into green gas, disappearing between heaven and earth.

"Hehe ~" Xiao Hua looked at the surrounding green wooden strips that fell into the flames, and coldly laughed. Using fire to restrain wood, he should have thought of this earlier!

"Haha, ignorant child!

You think you can escape this old man's Green Wooden Array like this? "

The middle-aged cultivator in midair also sneered: "You're nothing but a child at the early stage of the twelfth level of Qi Refining!"

As he spoke, he once again urged his magic power. Within the green light, even more and thicker green wooden strips came down with even greater momentum. Xiao Hua's dozens of fire crows were immediately submerged in the green light transformed from the green wooden strips!

"Ignorant old man!"

Xiao Hua was furious, and similarly waved his hands. Several spells struck the Spirit Crow Fire Net, and 25% of his magic power was poured into it!

The Spirit Crow Fire Net was suffused with extremely beautiful flames. "Caw! Caw!" Several fire crows cried out in succession. This time, unexpectedly, only nine fire crows flew out from the Spirit Crow Fire Net. However, this time, the nine fire crows were countless times stronger than the previous dozens of fire crows. Moreover, within the flames of these fire crows, there was a faint purple color!

"Boom!" Several loud sounds rang out. It was the sound of the fire crows crashing into the green wooden strips. The green wooden strips looked very large, but when they collided with the nine fire crows, they immediately combusted. The burning green gas was also ignited by the flames. However, in a few breaths of time, within several zhang of Xiao Hua, all of the green wooden strips were ignited!

"Ah?

These fire crows actually have Samadhi True Fire? "

The middle-aged cultivator vaguely saw the purple color on the fire crows and knew things were bad. "Peng!" Another sound rang out. Within the green light emitted by the magic tool, a figure covered in flames came out. It was Xiao Hua, who had escaped.

Xiao Hua rushed out of the Green Wooden Array, seemingly without stopping. Urging his magic power, his figure quickly flew towards the middle-aged cultivator, preparing to kill this old man!

"So fast?"

The middle-aged cultivator was slightly surprised, but he wasn't nervous. He slapped his hand and took out a crimson red rope from his storage pouch. He threw it into the air. The red rope was thin and short, just like the red headband a little girl usually used to tie her hair!

However, as the middle-aged cultivator's magic power spread out, the rope grew with the wind. In the blink of an eye, it became a long rope like a python!

"Why does this old man have so many magic tools?"

Xiao Hua was greatly alarmed. He pointed his hand, and the black dust above his head emitted an earth-yellow brilliance that protected Xiao Hua!

Fortunately, Xiao Hua had urged the black dust in advance. Just as the brilliance protected Xiao Hua, the python-like long rope circled in the air and fell towards Xiao Hua. It seemed to want to bind Xiao Hua!

Seeing the long rope fall, Xiao Hua hurriedly dodged. The long rope seemed to have intelligence. No matter how Xiao Hua dodged, the long rope circled around him!

Helpless, Xiao Hua used his Flight Technique, wanting to fly away. However, after flying for about ten feet, the Flight Technique that Xiao Hua was so proud of was caught up by the rope, and Xiao Hua was tied up without any explanation!

Fortunately, Xiao Hua now had the protection of the black dust's brilliance. The long rope could only bind the brilliance and couldn't truly land on Xiao Hua's body.

However, even so, Xiao Hua faintly felt that the magic power in his body was somewhat stagnant. Moreover, the protective brilliance of the black dust also began to faintly flicker. It seemed that the long rope was also attacking the brilliance.

"This … What should I do?"

Xiao Hua was somewhat at his wit's end. He wanted to withdraw from the illusory formation, but he felt unwilling in his heart. The Spirit Crow Fire Net was restrained by the Greenwood Formation and temporarily couldn't be used. He wanted to use the Samadhi Truefire, but he was afraid that the long rope wouldn't be afraid and he would instead reveal his trump card in advance.

"Alas, I still don't have enough magic tools!" Xiao Hua was now somewhat regretful. He shouldn't have coveted the fragments of magic treasures and sword pellets.

"Damn it … If the black dust is broken by this long rope, I'm afraid this young master will first be bound by the long rope. At that time, how will I have the power to fight back?

Whatever trump card, whatever Samadhi Truefire, they won't be of any use! "

Xiao Hua's mind sobered up. He extended his left hand and a streak of Samadhi Truefire emerged from his palm, burning towards the long rope!

"You really know how to use Samadhi Truefire?"

The middle-aged cultivator shouted in disbelief. The expression on his face, which was already not relaxed, became even more dignified. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then pointed his finger. The long rope very nimbly flowed around the brilliance around Xiao Hua's body, preventing it from being burned by the Samadhi Truefire.

As for himself, he stretched out his hand and untied a pouch from his waist. He chanted an incantation and waited for a moment before opening the pouch. A pitch-black strange insect that looked like a centipede but was completely different flew out from the pouch!

"Spirit Storage Pouch???

Spirit Insect?? "

Xiao Hua had always been paying attention to the cultivator's actions. When he saw that the cultivator was actually able to release a strange insect, he didn't care about using fire to burn the long rope and turned pale with fright.
