Chapter 437
The remaining eight people in the arena had long been divided into two groups. They stood to the side to watch the outcome of the fight between Zhang Xiaohua and the four people. When they saw that Zhang Xiaohua had easily won, their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Just now, the twenty plus people on the stage had been divided into several groups and fought in pairs. They had used up a lot of energy and thought before they barely managed to obtain a victory. However, it could be seen that the other party, with just one person, had defeated four people in a single move. The gap between them was quite obvious.
Thus, the four people in the group looked at each other and nodded at the same time. They waved their long swords and attacked the other four people. Obviously, they planned to defeat these four people first and then free up their hands to deal with Zhang Xiaohua.
When the four people saw this, they also agreed. With a loud shout, they spread out and each chose an opponent to fight.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua was a little surprised. She had thought that these eight people would join forces to deal with her, but they had actually started fighting on their own. This was really out of her expectations and looked very strange. However, doing so would only benefit her and not harm her. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua still stood to the side and watched the fight with interest.
After watching for a while, Zhang Xiaohua gradually saw some clues. The four people who had fought first were obviously more skilled than the other four. Moreover, these four people seemed to have practiced joint attacks before. Sometimes, two people would work together, sometimes three people would work together, but they were still able to handle the situation with ease. "Could it be that these four people were sent by a certain faction?" Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think.
If this was the explanation, it was very reasonable. That faction had failed to kill Nie Qianyu and was unable to seize the treasure in her hands. It just so happened that Rejuvenation Valley was holding a martial arts competition to find a spouse, so they took the opportunity to send out suitable disciples. If they succeeded, not only would they achieve their previous goal, but they would also obtain Rejuvenation Valley's great foundation.
"What a good plan, what a good plan."
Zhang Xiaohua cupped her chin in her hand and secretly praised, "Valley Head Nie's scheme of building one path in the guise of building another path in the dark is really quite smelly now."
That's right, Valley Head Nie loved his daughter so much that he didn't thoroughly consider the matter before hastily implementing it. If it weren't for Zhang Xiaohua's occasional appearance, this farce really might have destroyed the entire Rejuvenation Valley.
While Zhang Xiaohua was thinking, the situation on the stage became clear. She saw one of the people in the ring using the long sword in his hand. He actually used the tip of the sword to hit several of his opponent's major acupoints and won. As for the other three people, seeing that the situation was over, they had no choice but to abandon their swords and admit defeat, jumping off the stage.
After that, the four of them rested for a while before they picked up their swords and surrounded Zhang Xiaohua.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua also walked out of the semicircle that she had just drawn and slowly walked to the center of the stage. Her expression was still indifferent.
The four of them stared fiercely at Zhang Xiaohua. When they saw an opportunity, they brandished their swords at the same time and swarmed forward. Zhang Xiaohua did not have a long sword in her hand and it was not convenient for her to take out a short sword. Thus, she could only face the enemies with her bare hands. The four people's joint attack technique was also very good. In a short period of time, Zhang Xiaohua was unable to find any obvious flaws. She could only use the Fist of the North Star to face the enemies while using the Ethereal Steps to dodge. The five of them fought in a dazzling manner on the stage.
Under the joint attack of the four people, Zhang Xiaohua was twisting and turning, displaying the excellence of her light body technique. However, when Zhang Xiaohua saw an opening, she punched out. It was precisely the face of one of the four people. That person had already brandished his sword and it was already too late for him to save her. However, that person was not nervous and only took a few steps back. The other three people immediately followed up and stabbed their swords at Zhang Xiaohua's vital points. This forced Zhang Xiaohua to have no choice but to defend or dodge. There were even a few times when Zhang Xiaohua had clearly used her light body technique to escape from the encirclement of the four people. However, she did not know how the four of them changed. Two of them rolled a few times and immediately trapped Zhang Xiaohua in the middle of the four people. This disrupted Zhang Xiaohua's plan of defeating them individually.
This kind of formidable joint attack technique, seemed to be different from the method used to deal with the other four people. Zhang Xiaohua's heart couldn't help but shiver, immediately retracting her previous underestimation.
Releasing her divine sense, Zhang Xiaohua continued to fight while carefully observing the changes in the four people's footwork and joint attack technique. As time passed, Zhang Xiaohua's heart suddenly moved. These four people's coordination and the changes in their positions seemed very familiar. Thinking carefully, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but be shocked. How was this a joint attack technique?
This was obviously a basic immortal formation – the Da Yan 0 Elements Formation.
The Da Yan 0 Elements Formation was formed by five talismans. Each talisman could cooperate with each other to produce endless changes, trapping the things in the formation. These four people had just replaced the talismans with people. The changes of the four people's coordination were basically the changes of the Da Yan 0 Elements Formation. However, for some reason, there were only four people here, and not the five people required by the Da Yan 0 Elements Formation.
The Three Talents Formation and the Da Yan 0 Elements Formation were the foundation of the immortal formation. It was also recorded in Fire-dragon Immortal's jade slip. Zhang Xiaohua had already studied it thoroughly when she was on the deserted island. Now, after comprehending the rabbit talisman in her Mud-pill Palace, Zhang Xiaohua had a considerable understanding of the immortal formation. Previously, she didn't see through it because she was bound and didn't know how to break it. Now that she understood it, and this Da Yan 0 Elements Formation was only an incomplete one, of course, it wouldn't be difficult for Zhang Xiaohua.
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and saw a flaw in the formation. With a flash, he appeared between two of them. The two of them did not panic and only separated slightly, dodging the space. The other two's long swords also stabbed at him at the same time. Zhang Xiaohua leaped up again and dodged the long swords. Then, while he was in mid-air, he did not use any force to move his body to the side. After that, he did not do anything and his body rapidly fell. At this time, the four of them moved their feet and the place where Zhang Xiaohua landed happened to be empty. When Zhang Xiaohua landed, the five of them formed a circle. It was a complete Five Elements Great Formation!
The two men beside Zhang Xiaohua were shocked when they saw Zhang Xiaohua land on the ground. They quickly moved and wanted to change the formation. However, Zhang Xiaohua stood still and blocked the position of one of the men. That man had no choice but to stab with his sword. However, the sword didn't pierce into the formation and didn't cause any changes in the formation. Therefore, although the other three men were in their respective positions, they couldn't attack according to the changes in the formation.
This created a situation where one of them stood alone against Zhang Xiaohua.
Seeing that her strategy was effective, Zhang Xiaohua laughed loudly. She raised her sword and stretched out her left hand at lightning speed. Her thumb and index finger pinched the tip of the sword. Then, she turned sideways and pointed her right hand at the man's major acupoint on his chest.
Before Zhang Xiaohua's finger reached him, the three men beside her couldn't stand it anymore. Their bodies swayed and they stabbed with their swords. This stab wasn't a big deal, but the whole broken Five Elements Great Formation was immediately deformed.
Without the protection of the Five Elements Great Formation, the four men were not much different from the four men who had just pounced on Zhang Xiaohua. They saw that Zhang Xiaohua had abandoned the man just now and waved her palm at the two men who were pouncing at the furthest. The two men didn't expect that Zhang Xiaohua would attack them first, so they quickly changed the direction of their swords and pointed at Zhang Xiaohua's wrist. Zhang Xiaohua exerted force on her feet and her figure flashed to the front of the two men. Her two hands grabbed the air and it was precisely the two men's wrists. The two men couldn't dodge in time and were caught by Zhang Xiaohua. Immediately, their whole body went numb and their swords fell on the ring with a clang. Zhang Xiaohua didn't show any mercy. With a little force of her arms, the two men were thrown out of the ring like they were riding on clouds until they were caught by the people below the ring. Their whole body could still move slightly.
When the other two men saw that their companion was thrown out of the ring, they didn't say much. At the same time, they took out hidden weapons from their arms and waved their hands to shoot at Zhang Xiaohua's face. Zhang Xiaohua let out a cold snort from her nose. She lowered her body and dodged it. Then, she went straight to attack the two men. However, she had just taken a few steps when her Divine Sense saw that the hidden weapon that had just been shot turned around in the air and shot directly at the back of her neck. It turned out to be a hidden weapon that was relatively rare in Jianghu.
Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. She ignored it and continued to wave her fists to attack the two men. When the two men saw this, they laughed in their hearts. "This young man is indeed inexperienced."
Therefore, they pulled themselves together and went up to meet her. They only wanted to delay for a moment and wait for the hidden weapon to shoot back. When Zhang Xiaohua came close, the hidden weapon was also close to the back of her neck. They saw that Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have eyes at the back of her head. She suddenly shrunk her neck and lowered her body. That hidden weapon actually brushed past her head and hit empty air. As for the opponent in front of Zhang Xiaohua, he was complacently waiting to see the appearance of Zhang Xiaohua being hit by the hidden weapon. However, he was caught off guard by the hidden weapon that Zhang Xiaohua had dodged and was shot directly in the face.
Seeing that the hidden weapon was about to reach his body, there was no time to dodge. That person's eyes immediately flashed with fear. He opened his mouth and was about to shout. Unfortunately, that hidden weapon had already hit his face. In an instant, purplish black blood flowed out from the injured face. On that person's face, there was a drop of black at first. Very quickly, it spread like a dark cloud and covered his entire face. Then, that black line was like a poisonous snake baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, spreading towards his neck.
This hidden weapon was actually dipped in a strong poison.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Xiaohua was enraged. These two people really wanted to kill her. They knew that the arena did not allow the use of poison but at the last moment, they used such a vicious hidden weapon. This was intolerable.
As for Zhang Xiaohua's last opponent, because he was standing a little further away, when the hidden weapon came flying back, he had enough time to dodge. That poisonous hidden weapon brushed past his head and flew out of the arena.
But just as he was rejoicing in his heart, he saw Zhang Xiaohua's figure flashed and like a ghost, she suddenly appeared in front of him. She grabbed onto the acupuncture point on his chest, not giving him any room to dodge.
Zhang Xiaohua who had grabbed onto her opponent did not stop at all. With a flick of her hand, that person quickly chased after the hidden weapon that had just been shot out of the arena. In an instant, he had already overtaken it and landed on the ground. That position was exactly where the hidden weapon had been shot out from. With a soft "pu" sound, the poisonous hidden weapon had shot right into that person's neck.
In an instant, purplish black blood flowed out and that person fell onto the ground with a "pu tong", unable to move anymore!
