Summary: Start With Azure Cloud Gate

Chapter 22 Unexpected ending

The rising sun is like fire, slowly rising into the sky from the east.

On another stage in the square, two figures, a man and a woman, stood facing each other.

The atmosphere in the audience was as fiery as the one on the other side.

Led by Tian Buyi and his wife, the first of Dazhu Peak, and Shuiyue Perfected, the first of Xiaozhu Peak, almost all the elders of Azure Cloud Gate have gathered here.

Even Daoxuan Perfect Being came over to watch at some point.

There were densely packed disciples from all peaks around, cheering and discussing excitedly, but most of the subjects of the discussion were the female disciple on the stage who was known as the most beautiful woman in Azure Cloud Gate in the past 500 years.

As for Zhang Xiaofan, who was holding an ugly fire stick, not many people paid attention to it, because almost everyone knew that his ability to enter the top four relied more on luck than strength.

There were only four competitions in total, but he missed two rounds. Isn't this luck?

Listening to the contemptuous comments around them, Tian Buyi and his wife frowned. Even though they did not believe that this young disciple who had always been ordinary could reach this stage due to his strength, they still felt very uncomfortable when hearing these remarks.

On the other hand, the disciples at Dazhu Peak argued unconvincedly with the disciples around them, and then loudly cheered for their junior brother.

"Xiaofan, come on!"

"Junior brother, defeat Lu Xueqi, don't let them underestimate you!"

…

Zhang Xiaofan stood on the stage. Although he was very nervous, he quickly calmed down when he heard the shouts below, especially the girl in the red dress who he was thinking about was cheering for him excitedly.

‘Senior Sister, Master and Master, I will not disappoint you! ’

Zhang Xiaofan kept cheering himself up in his heart, then looked at the Celestial Immortal woman opposite, cupped his hands and said: "Zhang Xiaofan of Dazhu Peak, please give me some advice from Senior Sister Lu!"

Lu Xueqi's face was as cold as frost, her eyes did not waver at all, her lips were slightly opened, and she said indifferently: "Xiao Zhufeng Lu Xueqi, please enlighten me."

The words fell, but there was no intention to take the initiative.

Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth. Faced with the frosty woman's almost indifferent attitude, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. With his energy flowing, he controlled the fire stick in his hand and hit the woman first.

Lu Xueqi's expression was calm, but when she pointed, the Tianya Divine Sword behind her slowly rose up, and in an instant the blue light burst out, blocking Zhang Xiaofan's fire stick.

But the next moment, a dark green light suddenly burst out from the fire stick. Facing this long-famous Tianya weapon in Azure Cloud Gate, there was no intention of giving in.

"Huh?"

There was a sudden exclamation from the audience.

Many people looked surprised.

From past competitions, everyone knows the power of Lu Xueqi's Tianya Divine Weapon. Whenever she uses her Divine Weapon, almost no one dares to confront her head-on with Law Treasure, for fear of damaging their own Law Treasure.

But Zhang Xiaofan, this ugly fire stick, dared to face Tianya directly, and he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage. How could this be possible?

Just when everyone was discussing in surprise, they saw Zhang Xiaofan on the stage, controlling a fire stick from the air to fight with Lu Xueqi's Tianya Divine Weapon.

The two Law Treasures were so powerful that they seemed to be out of the control of their masters. They regarded each other as life and death enemies and fought happily in mid-air.

Gradually, Zhang Xiaofan's face turned pale, his body trembled slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he couldn't hold on any longer.

After all, his cultivation is too low. Even if he breaks through the fourth level of Yuqing, his vitality and telekinesis are very limited. How can he compare with Lu Xueqi's cultivation level?

But Lu Xueqi, on the other hand, seemed to be having a hard time resisting. Her thin body was also trembling slightly, her energy and blood were surging, and she seemed to be unable to control the divine weapon.

This scene made everyone look at each other in confusion.

In the crowd, two figures came to a corner at some point. They looked at the situation on the stage and frowned slightly.

"Ruofeng, is Xiaofan so powerful? Even Lu Xueqi can't stop him?" Zeng Shushu asked doubtfully.

Zhang Ruofeng shook his head: "He is not as strong as Lu Xueqi, but there is something wrong with his Law Treasure."

"Law Treasure?"

Zeng Shushu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were fixed on the ugly fire stick that was fighting with the Tianya Divine Soldier.

He naturally knew that it was Xiaofan's Law Treasure, but if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that this ugly stick that looked like a fire stick, rather than an ugly stick like the Law Treasure, could be so powerful.

You know, that is the Tianya Divine Weapon!

Zhang Ruofeng didn't explain, he just stared at the two people on the stage with a serious look on his face.

Xiaofan at this moment has actually proven his strength.

After all, very few of the other disciples could remain undefeated for so long under Lu Xueqi's Tianya Divine Weapon.

But with Xiaofan's stubborn temper, it's probably not that easy for him to admit defeat.

However, if the fight continues, will the ending be as lose-lose as in the original work?

Zhang Ruofeng is not sure either.

Because in the original work, Xiaofan was so sad that he found out about his senior sister Tian Ling'er's secret meeting with Qi Hao. He almost wanted to die before he unleashed the power of the 'Soul-eating Magic Wand'. In the end, she and Lu Xueqi ended up in a lose-lose situation.

But now, Xiao Fanke didn't receive any more stimulation.

As Xiaofan's brother, Zhang Ruofeng doesn't want him to go back to his old miserable path, but he also doesn't want him to remain ordinary and disappear from all living beings.

"Forget it, let's take another look." Zhang Ruofeng decided to continue watching. If any danger really happened, with his current strength, he would be able to stop it.

This was a fair duel after all, and it wouldn't be good if he interrupted it too early.

Just as everyone was talking, the situation on the stage changed again.

I saw the fire stick and Tianya Divine Sword flying back to their master's hands after a heavy blow in mid-air.

Lu Xueqi's whole body was shaken. She held Tianya in her hand and clenched her silver teeth. Thousands of blue lights enveloped her. Together with her Unity of Man and Sword, they soared up into the sky for nine days, and their whole body was engulfed by endless blue light.

Zhang Xiaofan's face also turned pale, as if he had suffered a backlash, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, which happened to hit the fire-burning stick that flew back. The blood was absorbed by the stick in an instant, and the dark blue light on the fire-burning stick dimmed a lot in an instant. Bloom again.

Several sharp-eyed elders noticed this scene, and after being slightly stunned, their expressions suddenly changed.

"Blood Refined Law Treasure..." An elder couldn't help blurting out.

"Rumble..."

At this time, deep in the sky, thunder suddenly broke out, and Lu Xueqi's figure appeared in the air, holding Tianya, Unity of Man and Sword in her hand, the thunder in the sky was raging, as if it was triggered by the magic weapon in her hand.

"The Divine Sword and Thunder Control Technique!"

The first elder stood up with a horrified look on his face.

"stop!"

There was a loud shout, but Tian Buyi couldn't hold it back anymore. With a movement of his body, he rushed onto the ring and stood in front of Zhang Xiaofan. He looked at the woman in blue in mid-air and shouted: "We surrender!"

"Master!" Zhang Xiaofan was shaken and looked at the master standing in front of him. He couldn't help his eyes moistening and shouted.

"Shut up!"

Tian Buyi shouted angrily, glanced at him coldly, then looked at the shining fire stick in his hand, and said: "Get off the stage!"

Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth and said nothing, but the aura on his body gradually shrank, and the green light on the fire stick slowly dissipated.

In mid-air, Lu Xueqi's face turned pale, and she seemed to have started to cast a spell, but was forcibly interrupted. After her body trembled slightly, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and she stared at Tian Buyi unwillingly.

Tian Buyi said coldly: "What? Do you still want to compete with me, my uncle?"

"snort!"

Shuiyue Perfected Being snorted coldly and said: "During the competition, no one is allowed to interfere. You can just intervene and interrupt. You are also threatening my disciples. Do you need me to learn your 'Red Flame' sword?"

"Senior sister..." Suru shouted quickly, looked at Shuiyue Perfected Being apologetically, and said: "It's not easy that he can't speak. Senior sister, don't be the same as him."

Shuiyue Perfected Being snorted again, looked up at Lu Xueqi in mid-air, and said, "Xueqi, come down."

"Yes, Master." Lu Xueqi nodded in a low voice, put away the magic weapon, and slowly fell from the air.

Tian Buyi looked ugly, but said nothing. He looked at Zhang Xiaofan and shouted in a deep voice: "Still not leaving! Aren't you embarrassed enough?"

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded in despair, followed Tian Buyi, walked down the ring, and prepared to leave.

Everyone looked at each other.

"etc!"

A voice sounded, calling the master and disciple to stop.

Tian Buyi turned around, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "What? Is there anything else wrong with Senior Brother Cangsong?"

Cangsong Perfected Being said coldly: "Junior brother Tian, ​​do you think we are blind? As your disciple, you use... use this Law Treasure, aren't you prepared to give us an explanation?"

Tian Buyi's expression changed slightly and he looked at Daoxuan Perfected Being, but saw that Daoxuan Perfected Being was also frowning and said nothing.

Tian Buyi's heart sank slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder what Senior Brother Cangsong wants to explain?"

Cangsong said indifferently: "I can't make the decision anymore. Please let me, senior brother, make the decision."

Daoxuan Perfected Being sighed, glanced at Zhang Xiaofan who looked confused and ignorant, and said: "Let's go back to Yuqing Palace first."

After saying that, he glanced at the disciples around him who were also looking confused, and said loudly: "In this competition, Xiaozhufeng Lu Xueqi won. Tomorrow's final will be between Heaven-Connecting Peak Zhang Ruofeng and Xiaozhufeng Lu Xueqi."

The disciples looked at each other, but no one spoke or showed any excitement. Instead, their faces became more confused.

What happened?

Daoxuan Perfected Being said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the ring.

The first elders of each lineage looked at Zhang Xiaofan, then looked at each other, frowned, and stood up to leave without saying a word.

"Master, what happened?" Zhang Xiaofan was still confused at this moment. He didn't understand why the competition ended suddenly and everyone was looking at him.

Tian Buyi's expression was gloomy and he stared at Zhang Xiaofan, as if he wanted to see if he really didn't understand or was just pretending.

But after staring closely for a while, I still couldn't see any trace of pretense in this young apprentice who had been with him day and night for five years. He turned around complicatedly and said, "Follow me."

Zhang Xiaofan followed him anxiously.

Wow!

It was only then that the crowd exploded, discussing what had happened and why the competition was suddenly interrupted. The leader and the first elder of each lineage left the table one after another.

There were also a few disciples among them who heard the elder's exclamation because they were relatively close to the elders' table. They also noticed the changes in the expressions of the elders and vaguely guessed something.

But at this time they looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.

At Azure Cloud Gate, that's an absolute no-no.

That young disciple from Dazhu Peak is probably going to be in bad luck...

"Ruofeng, what is going on? I just heard an elder say something about 'blood-refined Law Treasure'. Could it be that Xiaofan's Law Treasure is..."

Zeng Shushu frowned and looked at the departing figures of the elders. He turned to Zhang Ruofeng and asked worriedly.

Zhang Ruofeng didn't speak, but his expression was a little complicated.

He never thought that this competition would end in this way.

Xiaofan exposed the Blood Refining Law Treasure. Uncle Tian was worried about Xiaofan's safety and interrupted Lu Xueqi who was about to use the Divine Sword and Thunder Control Technique.

However, this may also be a good thing.

At least no one was injured in the competition. Although Lu Xueqi suffered some backlash, the spell casting has not yet been completed. The problem should not be major and will not affect tomorrow's competition.

As for Xiaofan...

Zhang Ruofeng looked in the direction of Yuqing Palace, took a long breath and said, "Let me go up and take a look. Xiaofan will be fine."

"I'll go too!" Zeng Shushu said quickly.

Zhang Ruofeng did not refuse, nodded, and the two of them went to Yuqing Palace together.

The reason why Zhang Ruofeng did not tell the truth about Caomiao Village was because there was not enough time and no one would believe him if he told him. Moreover, he was too weak and telling the truth might be dangerous.

As for Xiaofan's blood-refined Law Treasure, the reason why Zhang Ruofeng didn't remind Xiaofan to hide it was because it would be exposed sooner or later, and the problem was not big. Even in the original work, Xiaofan was not punished for it. Xiaofan betrayed Azure Cloud Gate is not because of Law Treasure.

After the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, other world views will gradually unfold. This world is not a single Zhuxian world, and there is more than just Xiaofan as the protagonist.

The reason why Zhang Ruofeng helps Xiaofan is just because his identity is that of one of the orphans in Caomiao Village, a brother who grew up with Xiaofan. Transmigrate is also equivalent to memory fusion, and the experience and feelings are real, so he will There are some plots that help Xiaofan.

Every book, every plot, and even every character may be liked or disliked by some, which is understandable, but it has been written and set in advance, and it certainly cannot be changed now.

As for the other protagonists who appear later, the development of the story will definitely not be the same as that of Xiaofan. This is a new world created by the integration of multiple fans. There will only be one protagonist, and that is Zhang Ruofeng.

Some of the original protagonists can be viewed as supporting roles.
