Chapter 297: Twin Lion Seal
After chasing away a few annoying flies, Xiahou Clan Members clustered around Xiahou Rongguang and stood beside the Fighting Stage.
Looking at the two sides on the stage locked in a stalemate, Xiahou Rongguang couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly, low shouting: “Rongyao, don’t disgrace the Xiahou Clan!”
“Got it!” Hearing Older Brother’s voice, Xiahou Rongyao’s face burned like fire, completely ignoring Xie Lan’s attacks, he unleashed Great Hand Seals one after another like a mad tiger!
Although he couldn’t condense the hand seals into solid form, he overwhelmed with storm-like barrages!
Immovable Root Seal! Great Vajra Wheel Seal! Outer Lion Seal! Inner Lion Seal! Outer Binding Seal! Inner Binding Seal!
One after another, either ferociously powerful or continuously forceful Great Hand Seals, constantly bombarded Xie Lan’s body.
Xie Lan was already at a disadvantage, defending more than attacking, now he could only bitterly parry. Fortunately, Xie Clan’s Five Virtues Five Elements Technique excelled in defense with enduring aura, so he wasn’t immediately broken.
But the five-colored glow on his body was growing dimmer, clearly he wouldn’t last much longer under the relentless assault…
Xiahou Rongyao grew fiercer as the fight dragged on, his eyes bloodshot, true qi surging throughout his body, Dragon Elephant Divine Art circulated to the peak of Black Rank, the air seemed filled with dragon roars and elephant trumpets.
“Die!” Xiahou Rongyao roared, his hands blurring into phantoms, surprisingly unleashing two Great Hand Seals simultaneously!
Outer Lion Seal! Inner Lion Seal! Like twin lions pouncing on a tiger, they whistled from left and right straight at Xie Lan!
Xie Lan was already struggling to handle one Great Hand Seal, how could he withstand the power of dual seals? He desperately circulated Five Virtues Five Elements Technique to resist the twin lions’ force, but those two fierce lions, one female one male, one rigid one soft, in combined assault he had no way to defend. With a bang, Xie Lan’s surrounding glow was shattered, his whole body flew up like a ragdoll, spitting blood as he crashed onto the Fighting Stage.
Xie Lan’s eyes full of unwillingness, he struggled to stand. Below the stage, Xie Clan’s Martial Steward Xie Ju with red eyes shouted: “Lan’er, stop fighting, your road is still long…”
Only then did Xie Lan look up at the sky, sprawling limply on the ground, gasping heavily.
“One, two, three…” The Investigative Bureau Official began counting down. “Eight, nine, ten.” After ten breaths, the Investigative Bureau Official loudly announced: “Xiahou Rongyao wins!”
But Xiahou Rongyao showed no joy on his face. If not for Fourth Uncle modifying his self-created Double Wheel Seal into the Double Lion Seal suited to him just days ago, it wasn’t certain who would have won.
After all, in terms of enduring aura and sustained combat power, no one could match Five Virtues Five Elements Technique.
But with his ultimate techniques all used up, what to do in the next round?
Watching Xiahou Rongyao walk down expressionless, Xiahou Rongguang patted his shoulder: “You’ve completed the task, every win from here is a bonus…”
Xiahou Rongyao nodded, though it was true, it really felt unsatisfying! In past years, his strength was enough to take the championship, who knew this year it would be such a situation?
.
At the same time, Lu Yun watching Lu Lin battle Xiahou Rongda beside Stage Six was heavily patted on the shoulder.
Without turning his head, he smiled: “Won?” At Lu Yun’s realm, listening with ears or watching with eyes made no difference. When the other approached several zhang to his side, he discerned from footsteps and aura that it was Lu Song. And the guy was in a great mood…
“Of course, I fell to Loser’s Group from one careless move, in terms of strength I could advance to Top 8.” Lu Song had one strength: quick emotional adjustment. At noon he was dejected and unable to eat, now after one win he was beaming and gesticulating wildly. “And this time I learned my lesson, opened with Maiden Worships the Moon, that Huangfu kid obediently knelt to this lord.”
“Fine, you’re awesome.” Lu Yun rubbed his temples, sending the noisy guy away: “Go cheer for Older Brother over there, this side won’t decide victory or defeat for a while.”
Lu Song glanced at the stage, seeing Lu Lin and Xiahou Rongda in flesh-to-flesh hard clash. Both were giant-like in build, following fierce paths, every move devoid of fancy, looking utterly lacking in elegance…
“Fair enough, this street brawl isn’t worth watching, I’ll go see big bro.” Lu Song finished and darted to Stage Four, only to find it equally dull…
The first sight on stage was Lu Bai standing helplessly with hands bound, while Sick Young Master Wei Jie waved his hand while bending over gasping, seeming unable to hold on.
“Why didn’t I get such an opponent?” Lu Song immediately turned envious.
Nearby Lu Clan members all gave bitter smiles, Lu Bai’s father, Lu Clan Great Steward Lu Xiu sighed upon hearing: “Watch and see.”
“What’s to watch?” Lu Song shouted to Lu Bai on stage: “Strike while he’s sick, take his life!”
“Shut up!” Lu Bai already full of anger, roared at Lu Song: “I need to be able to move first!”
“What happened, you got acupoint sealed?” Lu Song was stunned.
“Nonsense.” Lu Bai cursed, desperately circulating qi to unblock the acupoint.
Lu Song then understood: before Wei Jie exhausted his strength, he sealed Lu Bai’s acupoint, resulting in one unable to move and one unable, creating this comical situation.
“This works too?” Lu Song was truly enlightened.
“This isn’t the first time.” Lu Clan members helplessly said: “They’ve fought nearly a hundred exchanges, neither able to gain advantage, just as Wei Jie seemed about to exhaust, unexpectedly he always seals Lu Bai’s acupoint just before, leaving him immobile for a while too.”
“Even more infuriating, they always recover simultaneously.” The crowd said with wry amusement: “It’s embarrassing to watch.”
As they spoke, Lu Bai broke through the acupoint… After all, Wei Jie had depleted true qi, Righteous Qi invulnerable to evils, so each time unblocking didn’t take long.
Wei Jie also recovered a bit of stamina, seeing Lu Bai charge, he began to move too. But his tottering appearance didn’t look like a winner.
“Use your ultimate move!” Lu Song yelled.
“Already did!” Lu Bai angrily shouted, he’d long realized his martial arts were far inferior to Wei Jie’s; without the profound Immortal Points the Way, he couldn’t have lasted this long.
As he spoke, Lu Bai turned his right hand into sword finger with spiraling force, stabbing fiercely at Sick Young Master Wei Jie. Using precisely the Immortal Points the Way taught by Lu Xian!
Wei Jie cherished his stamina greatly, only when the sword finger neared did he suddenly sway and dodge. But Immortal Points the Way’s greatest strength was shadowing inseparably, unstruck unreturned!
Wei Jie had long known this, so his dodge was to facilitate his counter!
His form was slow, but right index finger struck like lightning, in a blink hitting Lu Bai’s wrist inner Waiguan Acupoint. Lu Bai’s left arm drooped like a snake struck at the seven-inch vital.
But Lu Bai had anticipated this: Wei Jie’s technique was Wei Clan ultimate Heavenly One Finger, strike slow or fast, slow elegant and unpredictable, fast lightning swift, regardless one strike hit, acupoint sealed. Moreover, strike and withdraw, attack and retreat, ungraspable, untouchable, only to be toyed with helplessly…
Thus Lu Bai’s right hand this time was bait to let the opponent seal acupoint, to seize that fleeting moment, using left hand for Immortal Points the Way to seal Wei Jie’s acupoint!
