Chapter 483
: The Arrogant Four
Time flies, another month has passed, and today.
Above the nameless mountains, the sun was shining brightly with clear skies just now, creating a beautiful scene of a gentle breeze and a sunny day, but suddenly, it was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled.
A strong wind blew, blowing up the dust on the ground, and sand and rocks flew everywhere, making the mountains look like a doomsday scene.
Looking at the sudden omen, Long Xuan frowned slightly, a solemn look in his eyes. He looked towards the direction of the cave and sighed in his heart.
He still underestimated the extraordinary level of the "Bone Tempering Art". He never expected that Emperor Xin's practice of the "Bone Tempering Art" could trigger such a horrifying phenomenon.
This sudden change was not expected by him, nor by Emperor Xin.
Long Xuan suddenly got a headache. The noise made by Emperor Xin was too loud. It would easily attract nearby Gu cultivators, which would then easily cause unnecessary trouble.
What you fear will come to you. Long Xuan suddenly turned in a certain direction and saw someone approaching quickly, and his eyes suddenly fixed.
……
In the southeast direction, the people on a green flying boat noticed the unusual phenomenon, turned a corner, and headed here at a very fast speed.
On the green flying boat, there were four talented Gu cultivators with arrogant faces sitting, staring intently at the direction where the strange phenomenon occurred. If anyone saw these four geniuses, they would be shocked.
These four people all won the top ten places in the Western Region Talent Competition which just ended.
Mu Qing is the number one genius in the Qinglong Empire and ranked sixth in the Western Region Genius Competition.
Bai Mo is the White Tiger Empire's number one genius and ranked seventh in the Western Region Genius Competition.
Zhu Hang is the number one genius in the Suzaku Empire and ranked eighth in the Western Region Genius Competition.
Huolin is the number one genius in the Qilin Empire and ranked ninth in the Western Region Genius Competition.
The Western Region Talent Competition brings together talents from the entire Western Region, and its value is so high.
These four geniuses who got the top ten places in the competition can be called invincible in the Spiritual Sea realm. At this time, these four people gathered together and stood on the same boat.
"A strange phenomenon fell from the sky. Could it be that a rare treasure was born there?" Looking at the direction of the strange phenomenon, Mu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and a greedy look flashed in his eyes.
"It may not be a rare treasure. It is also possible that someone has practiced some forbidden technique there. The forbidden technique is too forbidden, which caused the strange phenomenon." Bai Mo frowned slightly and said hesitantly.
"Humph! Isn't the forbidden technique he practiced that can cause strange phenomena a rare treasure? I think everyone knows what level of forbidden technique can cause strange phenomena!"
Zhu Hang glanced at the faces of several people and saw that they all had interested looks in their eyes. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"Haha! It seems that Brother Zhu has the intention of snatching other people's forbidden techniques. Forbidden techniques that can cause strange phenomena are rare in the world. Even I have never seen them. It is not surprising that they can arouse Brother Zhu's greed." The greed in Huo Lin's eyes flashed away, and he smiled.
"I really didn't expect it. I didn't win the championship, so I planned to come out to relax, but I didn't expect to gain such a great deal."
"It was Wu Gang's bad luck that he was eliminated early in the preliminary round. Otherwise, he would have been able to get at least tenth place and would be on this ship today. He must have a chance this time."
Mu Qing raised the corner of his mouth, looked at the four people and said: "Since everyone is interested in this forbidden technique that can cause strange phenomena, let's go over and take a look."
After he finished speaking, Qingzhou accelerated towards the center of the vision. Soon, Qingzhou stopped above a mountain range. Qingzhou was also blocked by a figure that suddenly appeared.
"Everyone! Please go back! Our good friend is practicing in seclusion here. If you don't want to make enemies, please don't disturb him!" Long Xuan stood in front of the boat and looked at the four people vigilantly.
Seeing that the person blocking their way was just a Linghai Stage Gu Cultivator, the four of them looked at each other and smiled.
All four of them are invincible at the same level. In the entire Western Region, there are probably only the top five geniuses in the Genius Competition who can defeat the same level Gu cultivators as them.
Once the four of them join forces, even the top-ranked genius will not be their match.
This person is neither one of the top five geniuses nor a well-known person, so how can he defeat the four of them together? The four of them already felt that they had won.
"Boy! Do you know who we are? How dare you stand in our way?"
Mu Qing crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the person in front of him with contempt.
"I don't know you! I don't want to know who you are either. I'll say it again, please take a detour and leave, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Long Xuan's eyes became stern, and seeing several people speaking rudely, he also started to speak rudely.
After hearing what Long Xuan said, the four of them immediately became furious. Who were they? They were super geniuses who had won the top ten in the Western Region Genius Competition. They were well-known throughout the entire Western Region. This person dared to say that he didn't know them. This was undoubtedly a provocation to them.
At this time, Emperor Xin in the cave transmitted a message to Long Xuan's soul: "Don't underestimate the four of them. In the Central Plains, there are five superpower empires: the Azure Dragon in the East, the White Tiger in the West, the Vermillion Bird in the South, the Black Tortoise in the North, and the Kirin in the Center."
"These five empires are among the ten most powerful nations in the Western Regions, and their national strength is in no way inferior to that of the Longteng Empire."
"These four are the top geniuses of these empires. Their combat capabilities are among the best among the geniuses. Be careful. The geniuses of these five sacred beast empires are all physically strong and are best at physical skills."
Hearing this, Long Xuan understood in his heart that there were not many Gu practitioners who focused on body refining in this world. Once there was someone who succeeded in practicing both Gu and body cultivation, he would definitely be an extremely difficult person.
However, as long as these four people are of the same level as him, he is confident that he can withstand it.
"Boy! If you ask us to give way, we will give way. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for us?"
"I see you really don't know who we are. I'll give you a chance. Hand over the forbidden technique that can cause strange visions and let us copy it. I will forgive your offense. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself." Bai Mo laughed in anger.
Long Xuan shook his head and sneered, "What if I say no?"
"If you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you!" Zhu Hang finally lost his patience, flew out of the boat, and punched Long Xuan hard.
"Are you really good at physical strength?" Long Xuan's mouth curled up. Facing this fierce punch, he did not dodge. The best way to deal with a master of physical skills is to suppress him in physical skills. In a contest of pure physical strength, he has never lost.
In order to prevent the strange phenomenon from attracting more people, Long Xuan planned to end this battle quickly and directly release his three major forms of dragon, golden crow and black tortoise.
With the support of the three great Dharma images, he used all his strength in this punch, and heavily collided with the oncoming fist.
"bump!"
The two fists collided heavily, making a deafening thud.
"puff!"
Bai Mo spat out a mouthful of blood, and under the huge force, the whole person flew out horizontally, hitting the hull behind him heavily, knocking the Qingzhou over, and the four people fell down together. The other three people fell to the ground without any injuries, but they looked a little embarrassed. Looking at the people in the air, they all retracted their contempt and showed solemn eyes.
Bai Mo Ke is best at body training, and his physical strength is rare among people of the same level. In the entire Western Regions, except for Zhang Renshan, a casual cultivator who suddenly appeared, no one has ever been able to suppress him in terms of physical strength.
However, today, Bai Mo was knocked out instantly by a single punch from this opponent of the same level in a head-on confrontation. They simply couldn't believe their eyes.
"Damn it! This idea is hard to come by! Let's do it together!"
Huolin roared, and the few of them finally gave up the one-on-one fight and rushed forward together without any moral ethics.
Bai Mo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth as he looked at Long Xuan who was being beaten by three men, and rushed over with a roar.
As one of the top ten geniuses in the Western Regions, he was best at body training. But today, he was defeated in seconds by an unknown person in a head-on confrontation. This was a great humiliation for him, and it also made him lose his mind with anger.
Facing these four super geniuses, in a one-on-one situation, Long Xuan was not afraid of anyone, but when the four of them joined forces, he was under great pressure and was unable to deal with any of them in a short period of time.
The melee became a stalemate, with neither side gaining the upper hand in a short period of time.
Long Xuan was greatly shocked, secretly sighing that they were worthy of being the chief genius of the country of the five sacred beasts. The combined efforts of just four of them could actually compete with him.
However, he was surprised, and so were the four people on the opposite side? The four of them were even more surprised. You know, they were all the strongest geniuses who won the top ten in the Western Region Genius Competition. The four of them joined forces and couldn't defeat a Gu cultivator of the same level. This made them lose face and blushed slightly.
If what happened today were to get out, they would be laughed at by their peers.
"Damn! Where did this monster come from? He was able to suppress the four of us. Why have I never heard of this person before!" Zhu Hang looked unhappy and shouted loudly.
"We can't delay any longer! If you have any cards up your sleeve, bring them out as soon as possible. If we don't take this kid down today, the four of us won't be able to stay in the Gu world anymore!" Mu Qing shouted loudly.
At this time, Emperor Xin's soul transmission also reached Long Xuan's ears again: "Don't delay any longer, use any trump cards you have as soon as possible, the Gu King is approaching, and the people attracted by the strange phenomenon are far more than just these four people."
Hearing this, Long Xuan frowned and didn't dare to delay any longer. After knocking one person away with one punch, he withdrew. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he waved his hands and made a strange gesture.
Suddenly, there were bursts of dragon roars, and one golden dragon after another was shot out by Long Xuan. In an instant, dragons were dancing wildly in the sky. The golden dragons seemed to be alive, swimming around. The deafening dragon roars resounded through the world, releasing endless dragon power.
A total of twenty golden dragons flew into the air, suddenly turned their heads, and charged towards the four people with unstoppable force!
Looking at the twenty golden dragons flying towards them, the four of them turned pale!
"What the hell is this thing that has such a terrifying power!"
"Holy crap! This is a Dharmadhatu! How is it possible that this person can transform into a living Dharmadhatu?"
"Oh no! That's terrible!"
"Yan!"
The golden dragon roared past and hit the four people heavily. The four people immediately vomited blood and were swept away by the golden dragon. They hit the distant mountain wall heavily. The whole mountain trembled at this moment.
After the four men landed, although they were still breathing, their bodies were covered with wounds, and there was no intact place left. Their clothes were torn and covered with blood.
Obviously, even if they didn't die from this attack, they were seriously injured.
After spitting out blood again, the four of them raised their heads with horror in their eyes.
"Run! Split up!"
I don't know who yelled, but the four of them each found a direction, turned around and ran. They looked so miserable, without any trace of their previous arrogance. They were completely scared now.
Looking at the four people's fleeing backs, Long Xuan sighed in his heart. After all, the shapeshifting technique was not fully developed and its power was limited, so they were lucky enough to escape.
Although the shapeshifting technique can be used at this time, it is only a semi-finished product and far from being successfully developed. At this moment, he can only mobilize the divine dragon form. He cannot use the golden crow form and the black tortoise form for the time being.
He still has a long way to go before he can fully master the art of mimicry.
Long Xuan did not chase the four people. Under his divine eyes, he saw that the Gu King was approaching at a very fast speed. Now he had to race against time and he dared not delay even for a second.
So after repelling the four men, he immediately rushed into the cave, picked up Emperor Xin and ran away.
Soon, an old Gu King appeared here. He first looked at the pavilion, then at the cave, and looked thoughtful.
"It's the aura of a fight between Spiritual Sea Stage Gu Cultivators. The auras of four of them are very familiar. They should be Mu Qing, Bai Mo, Huolin, and Zhu Hang, who got the top ten in the Western Region Genius Competition."
"I don't know what kind of powerful enemy these four people encountered. Even though they joined forces, they were defeated by this person of the same level in a very short time. Interesting, really interesting."
The old man raised his lips, his eyes slightly fixed, and he sighed: "I thought that holding a Western Region Talent Competition would bring out all the talents in the Western Region."
"It seems that many geniuses are indifferent to fame and fortune. The real geniuses were not revealed by this Western Region Genius Competition!"
"This genius who fought four people alone, and the genius who attracted strange phenomena by practicing forbidden techniques, I'm afraid they both have the ability to win the championship. It's a pity that we didn't see these two geniuses in the competition."
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he didn't find the man, he sighed lightly and finally walked away.
……
At the same time, the four people who had already run a long way saw that the evil star did not chase them, so they met in front of a mountain. After looking at each other, they all smiled bitterly.
"We couldn't even win when we were four against one. Now we're really embarrassed." Mu Qing said with a wry smile.
"You can't tell anyone about this, okay? Just keep it to yourself!" Bai Mo looked at the three of them seriously and reminded them.
"You don't need to remind us! We still have some dignity to save! If this matter gets out, we will be ridiculed for the rest of our lives!" Huo Lin sighed.
"Who is this person? Where did he come from? How can he be so strong! He is so strong but he doesn't participate in the Western Region Genius Competition. He is just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger here. We have hit a wall this time." Zhu Hang narrowed his eyes and said in a serious tone.
"I don't know. Maybe he is too disdainful to participate. This person's fighting ability is far superior to ours. I'm afraid he really doesn't take all the geniuses in the competition seriously." Mu Qing shook his head and said bitterly.
