Chapter 322 Detonation
"That guy is the strongest among the younger generation in Hongya Cave, Huo Zhen, who has reached the eighth level of Nirvana. He is also the only one who has not taken action yet."

Hearing the voice in his ears, Lin Changqiang walked towards the center without changing his expression. Seeing this, the surrounding Dao Sect disciples quickly made way for him, their faces filled with joy. When he walked to the front, the disciples from Hongya Cave also immediately focused their attention.

"Who is that guy? I think I've seen him somewhere before."

"It must be Lin Changqiang, the champion of this Hundred Dynasties Competition, right? But didn't he just reach the Seventh Element Nirvana recently? Why do these Dao Sect disciples act like they have seen a savior?"

The disciples of Hongya Cave were whispering to each other, all of them somewhat puzzled. After all, Lin Changqiang did not hide his cultivation level. Only Huo Zhen, the team leader, frowned, and then smiled calmly.

"He relies on the treasure of pure Yuan." He glanced at Lin Changqiang, then quickly retracted his gaze. "Don't worry, if he wins with the treasure of pure Yuan later, it will be an unfair victory, and the elders will definitely not blame him. If he doesn't use it..."

"A newly promoted Seventh Element Nirvana, do you really think you are Ying Xiaoxiao from the Heavenly Palace?"

"Brother Huo, what you said makes sense!"

"Brother will win!"

Seeing Huo Zhen's harsh words, the disciples of Hongya Cave immediately echoed him, while Dao Zong glared at them. However, no matter what everyone was thinking, the protagonists on the scene were not Lin Changqiang and Huo Zhen, at least not now.

"Woo——"

A loud sound of breaking wind was heard on the stage. Perhaps realizing that Ying Huanhuan would not go up again, the woman named Song Yan suddenly changed her defensive stance and her whip skills became extremely fierce.

However, at the same time, Ying Huanhuan snorted softly and gradually slowed down her attack.

Although she had wanted to fight two people alone before, she had to admit that she was relieved when she saw Lin Changqiang, and her originally anxious heart calmed down.

She played out green sound waves, blocking all of Song Yan's attacks. Although she seemed to be focusing on defense, it was not difficult for the onlookers to see that the point of collision between the two sides was getting closer to Song Yan.

Knowing that he couldn't go on like this, Song Yan swung his long arm and flicked his wrist. The sky-blue whip instantly became as straight as a gun, and the sharp tip like a scorpion's tail pointed directly at Ying Huanhuan's eyebrows.

"Shui Yuan Xuan Jing!"

The long whip shot out quickly, and the Yuanli swirled around it like a rushing stream. The sharp wind made many people's scalps numb. Ying Huanhuan's gaze became more serious as a result. The bare hands that were originally plucking the strings of the zither suddenly pressed down, and an extremely dazzling ripple burst out upwards, bouncing Song Yan's long whip away.

Song Yan was not surprised that his move failed. He flipped his hand and the whip changed from stabbing to smashing, and it came down like a long iron stick.

Fortunately, Ying Huanhuan reacted quickly. She lifted up the guzheng and slapped it upwards, knocking the whip away with a "clang". Otherwise, even if she had a Nirvana Golden Body, she would have been scratched.

There was a hint of coldness in the girl's already serious eyes.

She held the guzheng upright in front of her, her long, soft black hair swaying in the wind, but it didn't look messy at all. Instead, it added just the right amount of charm to her already delicate temperament.

She stared at Song Yan, and pulled the guzheng from the front to the back with her fingers. An astonishing wave swept through like a storm.

"Formless Bodhi Sound!" Waves of sound spread around and finally turned into a blurry giant shadow behind Ying Huanhuan. The figure seemed to mutter a few words, and the vast ripples startled huge waves and pressed down towards Song Yan.

"Oh!"

Although he retracted the whip in time and set up several defenses in front of him, the continuous ripples were still like a bamboo breaking, easily shattering all the defenses. Even Song Yan himself was shocked and retreated repeatedly. He took the opportunity to set up several defenses to offset all the ripples.

After she steadied herself, her face looked noticeably uglier, but just as she was about to turn defense into offense, Ying Huanhuan plucked the strings again.

call out!
The emerald green light flew across like an arrow. Although not as powerful as the Bodhi sound, it was extremely fast. In just a moment, it had reached Song Yan's waist, leaving him no time to defend. Fortunately, the next moment, the man in black who should have been not far away suddenly flashed to the side, and then stretched out his hand to take the attack.

Seeing this, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but hum lightly and put away the guzheng. The surrounding Taoist disciples cheered. After all, in this kind of competition, if someone interfered, it would be equivalent to admitting defeat. Although Song Yan was unwilling, he could only sigh. But before he could admit defeat, Huo Zhen, who had originally taken the attack, suddenly swung it away and attacked Ying Huanhuan in a more fierce manner!
This sudden scene startled many people, and then they became extremely shocked and angry. Ying Huanhuan was also a little stunned, and planned to forcibly take the opponent's attack. However, a sudden green gust of wind blew past first, wrapped up the attack and flew back to Huo Zhen.

Feeling the sudden increase in the energy intensity in the blue wind group, Huo Zhen frowned, knowing that it would be difficult to bounce back, and planned to use all his strength. Unfortunately, the next moment, a blazing red light quietly lit up from inside the wind group...

"boom!"

Amidst the loud rumbling sound, endless flames shot up into the sky. It was clearly daytime, but the entire platform was much brighter. Ying Huanhuan was stunned and looked to her side. What she saw was the figure she had been avoiding for the past few days.

"Are you okay, Junior Sister?"

Lin Changqiang emphasized the last two words, and his long eyelashes could not hide the smile in his eyes. Hearing this, Ying Huanhuan's mouth twitched, and the slight emotions that had originally risen up were instantly suppressed back into her heart, and what was left was only anger and shame.

"I'm fine. Thank you so much, Brother Longspear!"

She said this with gritted teeth, but Lin Changqiang didn't care at all. He just smiled and turned his head, looking at the opposite side of the arena, only to see Huo Zhen from Hongyadong, his face covered in dust and his clothes were a little torn, like a reincarnated beggar. Song Yan behind him, on the other hand, was fine except for his messy hair.

"To treat guests who have come from afar so cruelly, is this the Dao Sect's way of hospitality?"

Huo Zhen's expression was a little ugly, but when he said this, the elder of Hongya Cave not far away was already cursing in his heart, and then hurriedly apologized to Chen Zhen. It was a pity that Huo Zhen was so angry now that he didn't notice this.

"Use brutal force? Are you kidding me? I didn't even use half my strength. It was obvious that I was letting the water go, and..."

Lin Changqiang seemed a little surprised, and then he looked even more disdainful, "You are talking about the art of hospitality, how come I don't know which guest will attack you by surprise?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many Dao Sect disciples responded one after another. Waves of sarcasm rang out on the platform, making Huo Zhen furious. However, this was Dao Sect's territory and he didn't dare to say anything harsh. He stared at Lin Changqiang for a long time and could only utter ten words.

"The last match is between you and me."
