Chapter 1003 Take action


    Linghu Xiao looked cold.


    Ouyang Xuan sneered.


    Mo Hua, Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, the three of them all have a subtle expression.


    The boy didn''t say anything else. After putting down his harsh words, he looked at Linghu provocatively and smiled, then left with his head raised.


    After he left, the venue was quiet for a moment.


    Mo Hua gradually realized a problem and frowned:


    "He asked us to remember his name, but... did he not say what his name is?"


    Situ Jian pondered, "Does he feel that we should all know who he is?"


    Cheng Mo was also curious: "Who is he?"


    Mo Hua took out the Taixu Order and found the opponent. His eyes swept over the names of the five people opposite. His mind moved slightly. After deducing it, he found his name:


    “Wu Ming.”


    "The name is ''no name''?"


    "The sky and the sun and the moon are bright."


    "Oh... it turns out that he is from the Wu family." Cheng Mo said.


    "Wu family?" Mo Hua asked.


    "The family of talismans makers earn a lot of spiritual stones, and they are very rich." Situ Jian said concisely, "Our family is in Kunzhou, but there are many places in Jiuzhou, with the Wu family scattered clans."


    “Are you very rich?”


    "Well, it''s very rich." Situ Jian nodded, "Qianzhou has a long history and has attracted many talents from all over the world, so it has outstanding people and aristocratic families."


    "Kunzhou is rich in nine provinces because of its fertile land and abundant resources. Therefore, it has also raised a wealthy family and wealthy family."


    "The Wu family is one of the wealthy families in Kunzhou. Because they are rich, they can run the talisman making industry under the name of "burning money". The talisman making industry is also very profitable. The Wu family''s profits are profitable, and the development is getting bigger and bigger..."


    Situ Jian painted ink one by one.


    He is calm and meticulous, quick-thinking and studious, and knows a lot about the situation of aristocratic families. Most of the knowledge about ink paintings is heard from him.


    But ink painting has a doubt:


    "Why do talismans make huge profits?"


    On weekdays, when he fights with monks, it is rare for people to use talismans.


    Talismans are just a supplementary means for temporary emergency rescue or escape. So far, he has never seen a monk who relies on "talismans" as the main means of killing.


    Situ Jian said: "There are many reasons, such as expensive construction, control of the Taoist court, one-time consumption... etc. Most monks will not overuse talismans."


    "The more master you are, the more wise the inheritance of Taoism, the less you have to rely on talismans."


    "The biggest purpose of talismans is to temporarily suppress firepower and targeted blasts in the Taoist wars and in some medium-to-large-scale wars of monks."


    "The war of practicing Taoism is to burn spirit stones."


    "If you don''t burn the spirit stone, you have to burn the ''human life''."


    "In war, the best way to burn spirit stones is to use the ''formula''."


    "But the formation is large in size and difficult, and it depends on the arrangement of the formation master, the arrangement is complicated and maintenance is difficult, and it requires preparation in advance. When the battle is about to be fought, there are many restrictions and the effect is very poor."


    "Beyond the formation, there are talismans. Simple, direct, convenient, and rough. It can be used after being unsealed, and its lethality is also good."


    "Generally, the Dao Court, or some major forces, will purchase a large number of talismans in batches at relatively preferential prices to be used as the "arms" for large-scale warfare of monks."


    "But to produce talismans, huge financial support is required. Only some extremely wealthy families in Kunzhou, whose disciples have good spiritual roots, sufficient spiritual power, good family background, many spiritual stones, and rich local resources in the state. Only large-scale talisman production can be carried out..."


    Mo Hua nodded and roughly understood.


    Talismans are "arms".


    The aristocratic family in Kunzhou is a "big landlord".


    Big landlords sold arms, generated huge profits, and became a "wealthy family".


    Mo Hua looked down at the match list. Their opponent this time was the "Tactic Sect" among the twelve levels.


    "Spiritual Talisman..." Mo Hua pondered.


    "The Spirit Talisman Sect is a sect that specializes in refining talisman art." Situ Jiandao, "Some big families in Kunzhou do not expect their disciples to learn the inheritance of the four sects and eight sects. Instead, they hope that they will systematically learn some rare talisman art."


    "So, although the Spirit Talisman Sect is a twelve-rate, and although it is proficient in talisman making, there are also some disciples with very good qualifications in the sect."


    "More importantly, the Spirit Talisman Sect is also very rich."


    Mo Hua was curious: "How rich can you be?"


    Situ Jian said: "It is said that it is richer than the eight major gates."


    "Why?" Mo Hua didn''t quite understand, "They have an industry to make talismans? Sell talismans themselves?"


    Situ Jian nodded, "It should be..."


    But he is actually not sure about the specific situation.


    At this time, Ouyang Xuan, who was stern on the side but had been secretly listening to the conversation between the two, said indifferently:


    "Because there are wealthy families in Kunzhou who provide support."


    "Supporting to the wealthy families in Kunzhou?" Mo Hua was a little surprised.


    Seeing that there was something I didn''t know about ink paintings that were "hidden and unlimited", Ouyang Xuan sneered without showing any traces and said:


    "Some wealthy families in Kunzhou, such as the Wu family, will produce a large number of spirit stones and rich resources to provide them with the Spirit Talisman Sect to support the Spirit Talisman Sect in research on the talisman refining technique."


    "The talisman-making technique developed by the Lingfu Sect will be fed back to the wealthy families in Kunzhou."


    "At the same time, the Lingfu Sect will also leave some ''special'' admission quotas to the wealthy families in Kunzhou to maintain their relationship with teachers and interests."


    ?


    Ink painting couldn''t help but fall into deep thought.


    The integration of sects and wealthy families...


    On the surface, it is mutual benefit.


    But at the root of it, isn’t it the dual “monopoly” of Taoist heritage and Taoist resources?


    Finally, the sect and wealthy families joined forces to become bigger and stronger, and achieve the ultimate monopoly.


    Who is the one who was unlucky in the end?


    Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Ouyang Xuan, "How do you know these things?"


    Ouyang Xuan snorted coldly, with a disdainful expression, but he still answered Mo Hua''s question honestly: "I heard it when the ancestor and the leader were chatting."


    "Oh..." Mo Hua nodded.


    Ouyang Xuan can listen to the conversation between the ancestor and the leader, which means that his identity may be a little higher than what he had expected before.


    "The talismans for the discussion of swordsmanship are restricted, right?" Mo Hua asked Situ Jian again.


    Situ Jian nodded, "After all, it''s a sword contest. Talismans are the same as formations. If they can be used in large quantities, it will greatly affect the balance."


    Some "rich guys" are rich, and they don''t have to lose talismans, so no one can bear it.


    "However, it is limited to grade and quantity, not type." Situ Jian said again, "The Spirit Talisman Sect should specially refine some rare top-grade talismans for sword competition."


    ?


    After using so many games, someone must have thought of a method to target.


    If you continue to use this, you may not be able to win.


    Mo Hua smiled and said, "It''s okay, use it again." He glanced at Situ Jian, Cheng Mo, Linghu Xiao and Ouyang Xuan, and said meaningfully:


    “This is training for you to carry the weight, so that you can train with competitions and practice well."


    “After all, if I took action, the battle situation would have been like this long ago..."


    Sheng Mo, Situ Jian and Linghu Xiao were stunned, and then their eyes lit up and nodded, "Yes, senior brother."


    Ouyang Xuan didn''t say anything, but a deep fear flashed in his eyes, which could even be said to be...


    Fear.


    …


    In the sword-making field, the mountains and rivers are intricate.


    Mo Hua and others entered the venue.


    Outside the scene, Fang Tian’s paintings blurred, and the figures of Mo Hua and several others appeared, which also caused a lot of discussion.


    Basically nothing good.


    Most of them are accusations such as "The Taixu Sect is about to be finished", "The ancestor is stupid, the head is mediocre, and the elders are competing for the situation", "The disciples dare not speak out", etc.


    In addition, there are sympathy such as "I feel sorry for Linghu Xiao", "I feel sorry for Ouyang Xuan", "I feel sorry for the stupid guy", "I feel sorry for the sword-carrying guy" and so on.


    Also, criticisms like "Why is this shameless ink painting still there?" "I want to see how long he can stay", "The shame of Taixu Sect", "useless waste" and so on.


    All are clichés.


    And the criticism outside the field was like a tide, and the battle on the field began.


    This is still a five-a-side melee.


    The shape of the competition has not changed, and the ink painting is too lazy to change its tactics, but still uses the most basic combat method, allowing the four Linghu Xiao to fight with their abilities to cultivate some instinctive tacit understanding.


    The venue is not big, and the spiritual sense of Mo Hua is too strong. He can basically tell where the opposite side is just a scan.


    But he didn''t ask for a reminder either.


    Because it is not yet time for him to really use some "insidious means".


    The two sides met normally.


    Five people in Mo Hua, the "silly big guy" Cheng Mo stood in front, and the rest fought in a row and formed the most basic formation.


    The talisman gate opposite, standing in front, was a mighty young man.


    It was the confident and arrogant boy who had let go of harsh words to Linghu Xiao before.


    The wealthy family in Kunzhou, Wu Ming of the Wu family.


    Wu Ming was wearing gorgeous armor, his arms were wrapped in fiery red, and his colorful arm armor was luxurious and grand, and it looked very expensive at first glance.


    This armor is specially made.


    Arm armor is also his natal spiritual weapon embryo created with a lot of money.


    Except for Wu Ming, the other four people in the Lingfu Sect were also wearing excellent armor, shining with the light of "no shortage of money".


    Although the Spirit Talisman Sect is only a twelve-rate sect, those who can enter the Spirit Talisman Sect are either rich or noble.


    Wu Ming and other people are all first-class young masters.


    With just one look at the Mo Hua, you will know that the equipment they were all customized at a high price for the sword contest.


    The quality is 20% higher than the customized spiritual weapons produced by Gushan Artifact Refining Store.


    But the price is probably more than ten times more expensive.


    Still a "consumable".


    This is probably something that only the wealthy families of Kunzhou families are willing to spend spirit stones to create.


    Mo Hua looked at him and was shocked.


    Normally, when the two sides meet, they will start a fight, without nonsense or long-winded.


    But this time it was different. Before the war started, Wu Ming seemed to have something to say.


    The Spirit Talisman Gate did not take action first.


    Ink painting didn''t let everyone do it, and wanted to hear what he said.


    Wu Ming stretched out his flames, his very gorgeous arm armor, pointed at Linghu and smiled, and sneered:


    "Linghu Xiao, today, you will definitely be defeated by me!"


    "I will prove to Miss Lu that you, the so-called kendo genius, are just a coward and a loser, and are not worth her to take a look at..."


    His first half of the sentence was OK, and he was quite imposing.


    The second half of the sentence is a bit abstract.


    Mo Hua couldn''t help but look at Linghu and smiled, "Who is Miss Lu?"


    He thought it was a battle between geniuses, but he didn''t expect that it would be involved in gossip.


    Linghu Xiao looked a little confused, and he didn''t know what Wu Ming was talking nonsense.


    His appearance angered Wu Ming.


    Wu Ming suppressed his anger and said coldly:


    "You are still pretending to be stupid with me here? You are really a coward." "Today I let everyone know that you, the so-called swordsman genius, are just a waste with a false reputation!"


    "I will use the Liuli Open Fire Fist technique passed down by my family to personally kill you!"


    What he said was quite imposing.


    But Mo Hua didn''t hear anything he said at all, but the gossip heart ignited, his eyes glowed, and he asked Linghu in a low voice:


    "You have an affair with this ''Ms. Lu''?"


    Cheng Mo and others turned their heads to look at Linghu Xiao, with bright eyes.


    Even Ouyang Xuan looked curious.


    Linghu''s smile turned black.


    If he asked this question, he would have slashed it with a sword.


    But the person who asked this was Mo Hua, he could only frowned and said unhappily: "No... I don''t know who this Miss Lu is?"


    Mo Hua nodded, feeling a little bored.


    No food...


    And the few of them were whispering here, looking as if no one was around, which made Wu Ming even more annoyed.


    "kill!"


    Wu Ming said coldly, then used his spiritual power, activate his arm armor, and used the Glazed Bright Fire Fist. He took the lead and drew a surging fire light, heading straight for Mo Hua and the others to kill.


    Cheng Mo swung his axe and went straight to meet him.


    Linghu Xiao and others also set out their swords one after another.


    Only ink painting, with one step, and a light figure left the crowd, got rid of the battle situation, and watched the battle from the side.


    In front of Fang Tian''s painting, his "escape before the battle, his teammates move forward and backward" was clearly seen by everyone.


    I immediately remembered a burst of scolding:


    "Come again?"


    "You haven''t taken action yet?"


    "Still watching?"


    “The thick-skinned face is breathtaking.”


    Someone also comforted him, "Don''t make things difficult for him. He can''t do anything. How can he take action? He will reveal his feelings as soon as he takes action..."


    "Did you see his discussion of Taoism? The defense is incredible. I''m afraid I can''t handle it with a single move, and I''ll be slaughtered as soon as I go up."


    "I''ve seen it now, and I''m still looking forward to him taking action? I can only say that some people have bad brains and can be used to feed demons..."


    …


    There was a lot of discussion outside the field.


    In the inner field, no one took the ink painting seriously.


    Before, Mo Hua stood by and "watched the show" without worrying about him.


    As long as he dealt with his four teammates, it would be no more effort to get rid of this ink painting.


    Wu Ming took the lead, and the five disciples of the Lingfu Sect began to encircle and suppress the four Linghu Xiao.


    Wu Ming seems to be a disciple who is "sexy and stupid" and is fighting for victory, but their "tactics" are carefully designed and given full respect to Linghu Xiao.


    They didn''t dare to let Linghu Xiao take action at all.


    Therefore, at the beginning, there were two physical cultivation practices, one used a ground knife and the other used a **** iron claw, and wrapped around Linghu laughing.


    Linghu Xiao was unable to use the best sword moves of great damage.


    If he wants to force himself to perform, he will be interrupted by two physical practices.


    If he wants to use the only golden talisman to prevent the sword move from being interrupted, the opponent will definitely retreat temporarily and drag it until his golden body disappears and continue to waste him back, then he will have to be "depressed" to death like this.


    This is also a common method used in the sword contest to target the unique "genius" disciples.


    The premise of this method is that this genius needs to accumulate power to cast spells, or a ranged sword cultivator.


    His teammates can''t help him either.


    Now, the spiritual talisman is more and more fighting less, which just applies this method.


    This method was used by some sects before when they fought against Linghu Xiao.


    But the disciples of the Spirit Talisman Sect are stronger, the spiritual weapons are better, and the effect is more obvious when used.


    Moreover, Linghu Xiao’s team has almost completely won by "hard strength" four to five. Although they are proficient in tactics, they are also relatively basic. There are so many sects and so many eyes staring at them, and they have long studied this clearly.


    If you are thoroughly studied, you will be targeted everywhere.


    What''s more, they have fewer individuals.


    Linghu Xiao continued to be consumed by two physical cultivation.


    Cheng Mo''s physical strength is more than that, but his ability to kill is still worse than that of the first-tier genius. He can only stalemate with the disciples of the Lingfu Sect.


    Situ Jian is a "popular gold oil", but without tactical cooperation, and his ability is not very outstanding in the sword competition, even though he has the upper hand, he cannot win for the moment.


    Ouyang Xuan and Wu Ming fought together.


    Wu Ming''s strength is average, but his spiritual equipment is really great.


    Ouyang Xuan also had the upper hand, but in a short period of time, he could not do anything to him.


    During this period, the Spirit Talisman Sect will also carry out an offensive rotation. Relying on the advantage of the number of people, the disciples will cooperate with each other and suppress them together.


    Taixu Gate does not work.


    In the case of a disadvantage in numbers, they can only fight passively and have no room for a change of offensive.


    In this case, Linghu Xiao’s spiritual power is also being quickly consumed.


    Linghu Xiao has the best lethality, but it has high lethality and consumes a lot of spiritual power. In the case of one-on-two, he can''t hold on for too long.


    Just when Linghu Xiao''s spiritual power was almost consumed.


    Wu Ming noticed that the time had come, and his eyes immediately lit up, "I''ll do it!"


    He left Ouyang Xuan and began to attack Linghu Xiao.


    The two people who were originally consuming Linghu laughter turned to hold Ouyang Xuan.


    Cheng Mo and his friends immediately understood what Wu Ming wanted to do.


    He shouted, saying that he wanted to defeat Linghu Xiao.


    But the actual plan was to let the two teammates consume most of Linghu Xiao''s spiritual power, and then he took action to "fight" Linghu Xiao, and use this method to defeat the sword genius of Taixu Sect.


    Sadness is indeed shameless.


    But this is a sword contest. If he really wins, no one will say anything.


    Even if you step on the shoulders of your teammates and cut off the genius of Taixu Sect, it would be considered a "win".


    This is not enough.


    Wu Ming also took out a dark silver flowing jade talisman. After crushing it, a layer of fine iron light quickly flowed throughout his body, condensed into a layer of "iron clothing".


    Top-quality iron talisman.


    This is a scarce talisman. After being crushed, the spiritual power condenses into an iron cloak, which can prevent sword energy from slashing.


    Every disciple who is discussing swordsmanship can only choose one talisman.


    Linghu Xiao chose the "golden talisman", while Wu Ming chose the "iron talisman" specially made by the spiritual talisman.


    The purpose is to target Linghu Xiao.


    With iron-clothed talisman protection, Linghu Xiao’s sword energy damage can be greatly reduced within a quarter of an hour.


    Wu Ming wanted to use this quarter of an hour to decide the outcome.


    This is also his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.


    The spiritual power is activated with all its strength, and the Taoist law is operated to the extreme.


    Liuli Bright Fire Fist, each of which was carrying rushing flames, punching after punch, like a rain of fire, attacking Linghu Xiao.


    Most of the fire-colored fist shadows are offset by the sword light.


    But there was still a part of it that hit Linghu Xiao and penetrated into his body little by little.


    Linghu laughed and gritted his teeth to support him.


    Wu Ming fought harder and stronger, his momentum was like a rainbow for a while.


    At this time, most monks in the outer field felt a "knock" in their hearts when they saw this situation.


    Linghu laughs and wants to lose!


    They don’t like Taixu Sect and say that Taixu Sect is about to be finished, most of the reason is because of a leader of the formation that is not worthy of its name.


    Most monks still agree with Linghu Xiao, a sword genius who is hardworking and dragging the team forward with his own strength.


    Now they were feeling very uncomfortable when they saw Linghu Xiao being beaten by someone.


    When they thought of Linghu Xiao losing, they felt heartbroken again.


    "God is jealous of talent!"


    “Born at the wrong time!”


    "How come such a good seedling is so unlucky that he has fallen into Taixu Sect..."


    In the venue, Wu Ming''s expression became more and more proud.


    The ability to suppress Linghu Xiao, a genius, is enough to make him proud.


    With the blessing of the iron-clad talisman, if you continue to fight like this, Linghu Xiao will definitely lose.


    If he uses the golden amulet and uses the best sword technique of the killer move to fight against himself, he will not be afraid.


    Not to mention whether he has been exhausted until now and his spiritual power is in deficit, can he still use his killer moves? Even if he uses it, the time to accumulate energy and condense energy is enough to kill him by himself.


    The worst case is that both sides die together.


    But if I have the iron-clothed talisman to protect myself in a short period of time, I may not die even if I force myself to eat his sword.


    "Can you kill him!"


    As soon as he thought of this, Wu Ming was even more excited and his offensive became more and more fierce. He wanted to completely defeat Linghu Xiao, making him die of frustration...


    At this moment, the ink painting on the side of the scene sighed slightly.


    He knew that it was over.


    This basic tactic can only be reached here, and we will have to change some ways to play later.


    Mo Hua slowly raised his arm, and his fair palm finally stretched out from his sleeve and gave out his fingers.


    Many sharp-eyed monks outside the field immediately captured this scene from the huge Fang Tian painting.


    They saw that the ink painting, who had been watching the fire across the mountains and stood by, finally stretched out his hand from his sleeve.


    Everyone''s heart suddenly jumped for no reason.


    "Is this leader of the Taixu Sect''s formation finally going to take action?"


    "What''s the first move at the sword contest?"


    "What does he want to do when the situation has reached this point? What can he do?"


    They suddenly felt nervous.


    In the venue, Wu Ming, who was in full swing of murderous intentions, also noticed this abnormality the moment Mo Hua raised his hand.


    He just "ignored" the ink painting, but it doesn''t mean that he really forgot the ink painting.


    The sword contest is a battle between five people.


    But this "leader of the formation" of Taixu Sect has never made any achievements in the sword contest before, like a "waste".


    Therefore, everyone thinks that he is not the same person.


    But at this moment, he actually raised his hand.


    "What does he want to do?"


    Wu Ming felt a little nervous.


    Then he glanced at the edge of the light, saw a trace of fire, saw the basic technique of condensation, and immediately laughed.


    "Fireball?"


    "A mere fireball technique?"
