Top Luck: Leading the family to cultivate immortality

Chapter 733 Strong Rivals
Facing the first round of attacks, Zhang Shun was obviously at a disadvantage even though he was fully prepared.

And next, the situation Zhang Shun will face is still not good.

Because at this time, the amount of green smoke triggered by Liu Hongming was still huge, and it was quickly shrouding the sky above his head.

In just a moment, he had already felt a special force of oppression, affecting every move he made.

In addition, the movement of his spiritual consciousness and the true energy in his body were also greatly affected, as if he was halfway into a quagmire. Every time he activated it, the energy required was higher than normal. Much more.

Feeling such a change, Zhang Shun also panicked.

In the next moment, Liu Hongming on the opposite side continued to control the smoke, condensing a large amount of green light from it and shooting out.

There are a lot of these green lights, like raindrops falling.

It's just that the breath of green light is a bit scary. The moment the light appears, even the air is corroded by it, making bursts of sizzling sounds.

It can be seen that this green light must be extremely poisonous and terrifyingly corrosive.

Thinking of Liu Hongming's famous Poison Technique and a series of rumors about him, Zhang Shun knew very well at this time that these huge amounts of smoke were definitely not ordinary means.

In fact it is.

You know, this huge amount of smoke itself is one of Liu Hongming's proud methods.

For this magic weapon, Liu Hongming has traveled to most countries in Qingzhou and explored various famous dangerous and secret places.

He did this specifically to find various poisonous things, extract their venom or essence, and finally refine them after a hundred years.

In the end, after he continued to add poisonous treasures, he finally had the terrifying power he has today.

It is precisely because of the existence of this treasure that he has been able to defeat his opponents many times over the years, including some powerful third-order monsters and some strong men in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Not only that, but there were several times when he relied on this method to escape from desperate situations.

It can be said that Liu Hongming's jade gourd magic weapon and the green smoke inside are his means of survival.

The importance of this treasure to him is self-evident.

And Liu Hongming also knew that Zhang Shun had entered the golden elixir stage for a long time, and with a sect background like Jiuyou Sect, his personal strength must be good.

After all, being able to participate in the competition on behalf of Jiuyoumen already shows that Zhang Shun's strength is not too bad.

Since then, Zhang Shun skipped the tentative attack at first and directly started an all-out attack.

Under his method, Zhang Shun indeed suffered a hidden loss.

Now, Liu Hongming took advantage of Zhang Shun's shock and had no intention of holding back.

Although the result of this first round of competition is not very important, if they can win, no one wants to admit defeat easily.

Furthermore, Liu Hongming didn't care about exposing his strength.

Under such circumstances, Liu Hongming was extremely serious at this time, and his whole aura rose to its peak.

Under his control, the green light poured down, and its shrouded position directly covered a large space.

At this moment, Zhang Shun's movements were not slow either.

When he saw the smoke billowing, his figure had already exploded.

At that moment, his figure was like a swallow, retreating dozens of feet at an incredible speed.

However, even so, the amount of smoke was huge, and its speed was also very fast.

Ever since, just when Zhang Shun was about to leave the range of the smoke, the light spot had already landed above his head.

At this time, Zhang Shun looked up at the sky, and then felt the pressure and the sizzling sound around him, and his expression suddenly changed.

He knew very well that if he was hit by these light points, it would be okay if there were just a few. With his cultivation level in the middle stage of the Golden Core, at least his life would not be in danger.

But the number of light spots in front of his eyes was too many.

Moreover, these light spots seemed to be endless with Liu Hongming's continuous addition.

Under such a terrifying density, it would be very difficult for him to avoid them all.

Knowing this, Zhang Shun was decisive at this time.

So, at this time, Zhang Shun retreated and held a tortoise shell shield in his hand.

At the same time, Zhang Shun flicked his fingers, and a stream of spiritual light struck the shield.

In a flash of light, the shield in his hand quickly grew in size, and soon his body was firmly protected within it.

Just when Zhang Shun's defensive methods were successful, the green light spots above his head suddenly fell, and dozens of them landed on the tortoise shell shield with extremely precise accuracy.

"Zizzizi..."

In an instant, bursts of firecracker-like sounds came out frequently.

At the same time, groups of green flames burned, accompanied by a strange smell.

When the movement stopped, the green flame was still burning, seemingly undying.

At this time, Zhang Shun saw that the flames on his magic weapon were still there, but the magic weapon itself had obviously been corroded to varying degrees, resulting in a lot of spiritual weakening.

Feeling such a change, Zhang Shun's expression suddenly changed.

However, before he could take a breath, he found that the smoke did not dissipate, but still enveloped him.

Not only that, the smoke is always there, and the amount continues to grow.

If this continues, maybe it won't be long before half of the area in this third-order formation will be completely covered in smoke.

By then, there will be less and less room for him to survive.

In addition to these factors, the density of the smoke is getting higher and higher, bringing more and more pressure to him.

Now, his actions are becoming more and more difficult, including the operation of the true energy and mana in his body.

Faced with a series of changes and the impact of the smoke, Zhang Shun is now very difficult to deal with.

At this time, he forced himself to stay calm.

Immediately afterwards, he began to strike violently, bursting out a large number of attacks in a very short period of time, shooting towards Liu Hongming on the opposite side.

Now, Zhang Shun knew his situation. If he had any reservations or wasted time, failure would definitely be waiting for him, and he might even be in danger of his life.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Shun was quite crazy at this time.

At that moment, as he shouted loudly, the sky was filled with dense sword energy, directly forming a torrent and suppressing it towards Liu Hongming with lightning speed.

In this round of attacks, Zhang Shun had launched with all his strength without reservation.

Under this round of attacks, the smoke above Zhang Shun's head was indeed dispersed by the torrent of sword energy, which temporarily relieved a lot of pressure on him.

However, Liu Hongming's means of survival are definitely not so easy to break.

Therefore, under the attack of countless sword energy, Liu Hongming opened his bow left and right.He was seen controlling the green smoke, bursting out a new round of green light, continuously exerting pressure on Zhang Shun.

At the same time, Liu Hongming pinched his magic weapon, and a ball of green flame suddenly appeared in his palms.

When the flame appeared, it was always jumping in his palm.

As the flame rose, the air and even vitality around it began to evaporate.

Obviously, this flame has extremely strong corrosive power, and its power is extremely terrifying.

Otherwise, when the flame appears, it will not cause rapid changes in the vitality of heaven and earth.

In fact, this flame is indeed a kind of strange fire from heaven and earth.

Such a strange thing in the world has terrifying power in itself. In addition, Liu Hongming practiced the poison method and used various poisonous substances to help the flame grow, so that it has the terrifying power it has today.

Liu Hongming originally didn't want to expose this method.

But Zhang Shun on the opposite side was not bad at all, and now he was facing a huge test, so he fought back without reservation.

It was precisely because Zhang Shun became crazy and activated the Ten Thousand Dao Sword Qi that it was so powerful that even the green smoke he activated was dispersed a lot.

Faced with such an attack, Liu Hongming was fully focused and did not dare to be careless in his heart.

Therefore, Liu Hongming looked solemn at this time, and then he took action with all his strength.

Suddenly, Liu Hongming blasted out the green flames in his hands, forming a green fire dragon that roared out and went straight to kill Zhang Shun's vital parts.

Opposite him, the ten thousand sword energy activated by Zhang Shun also attacked.

Soon, the two of them hit each other from the front with this crazy attack.

"Rumble..."

In an instant, earth-shaking explosions were heard one after another, accompanied by bursts of dazzling light that cut across the sky.

At the same time, a powerful shock wave swept wildly throughout the entire third-order formation.

At this time, everyone watching the battle heard a huge noise, which shocked many monks with lower cultivation levels and made stars pop out of their eyes.

Only those with cultivation levels above the Foundation Establishment stage only heard loud explosions, but due to the isolation of the third-order formation, they were not affected.

On the contrary, Zhang Shun and Liu Hongming, who were in the formation, were each knocked back a certain distance at this time.

Especially Zhang Shun himself was directly shaken and flew hundreds of feet away.

When he stabilized his figure, his complexion alternated between green and white.

In his body, the energy and blood began to surge crazily, and a trace of blood could not help but flow out from the corner of his mouth, and his breath became weaker.

As for Liu Hongming, the situation is much better.

At the very least, he only retreated more than ten feet under this blow, and his expression was as stable as usual, and it didn't look like he had suffered a huge impact.

After this round of attacks, Zhang Shun still occupies an absolute disadvantage.

This obvious disadvantage was not only because he was injured, but also because his defensive magic weapon was corroded, which caused his spirituality to weaken a lot.

In addition, the strange smoke generated by Liu Hongming still existed at this time, and it was still shrouding Zhang Shun, causing him great oppression at all times.

Looking at Liu Hongming himself, his face looked normal at this time, and although his breathing was a little short, he did not suffer much trauma.

In this comparison, Zhang Shun was clearly at a disadvantage, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to him.

At this moment, Zhang Shun also understood this very well.

So taking advantage of the lull in the attack, Zhang Shun thought for a moment.

Soon, after careful consideration, Zhang Shun decided to admit defeat.

The reason why he made such a decision was because he thought about the current situation and believed that there should be a slight gap between his own strength and Liu Hongming.

Other than that, he was already at a disadvantage at this time.

In this unfavorable situation, even if he resorts to the most advantageous means and chooses to fight Liu Hongming to the death, he may not be able to defeat Liu Hongming.

And these points are just subjective factors.

In terms of objective factors, the result of this first round of competition is actually not that important.

At the very least, the result of the first round of competition cannot determine the final amount of benefit distribution.

Moreover, even if they admit defeat at this time, Jiuyoumen still has the opportunity to continue challenging.

In this case, there is absolutely no need for him to risk his life with Liu Hongming at this time.

Although voluntarily admitting defeat will lose face, after reaching the golden elixir stage, I don't care about these insignificant false names.

What's more, the monks present basically understood that the result of the first round was not important, and Liu Hongming was already extremely powerful.

In this way, defeat at the hands of Liu Hongming is not a shameful thing in itself.

Knowing this, Zhang Shun had already made up his mind.

So, before Liu Hongming's new attack came, Zhang Shun immediately raised his hands and fists towards Liu Hongming on the opposite side, and then took the initiative to say: "Fellow Daoist Liu is really powerful, I am really no match for you."

"In desperation, we have no choice but to admit defeat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shun stepped back to put a safe distance between himself and Liu Hongming.

At this time, when Liu Hongming on the opposite side heard this, he immediately stopped taking action as he was planning to continue taking action.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Hongming returned the salute expressionlessly, and then stepped back without looking back.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Shun frowned, and felt a little angry at Liu Hongming's indifferent attitude.

However, he knew that he was no match for him, and there were rumors in the world of immortality that Liu Hongming had a cold temperament and was extremely upright, so this attitude was normal.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Shun's expression only changed, and he did not take the matter to heart.

On the contrary, after seeing this scene, everyone watching the battle looked solemn and felt a little shocked in their hearts.

Obviously, Liu Hongming's strength was indeed powerful, and his magical powers were even more bizarre.

Coupled with his unknown type of strange fire, his threat is further enhanced.

Knowing this, including Lin Tianyun and others, the fear of Liu Hongming in their hearts was very strong at this time.

In their eyes, Liu Hongming's strength is indeed the top level in the middle stage of Jindan.

Facing such a strong opponent, even if Lin Tianyun is confident enough in his own strength, he can't help but find it quite tricky now.
