Chapter 174 Transparent Buttons
"Eight Trigrams Sword Control Formation"
A Bagua diagram quickly appeared under Lin Xiao's feet. The Qiankun Bagua in the diagram kept rotating, and the surrounding long swords whistled in the air, forming a sword formation that surrounded him tightly.
The sword formation vibrated continuously, and the light flashed, just in time to block the flying fire wall and golden wheel.
"boom!"
A violent shock wave dissipated instantly, and the air was almost distorted by the shock.
The surrounding trees were uprooted under the violent impact, making a "squeaking" sound of broken wood.
"The 'sneak attack' in this trial is really a necessary skill for every contestant..." Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. At the same time, his eyes quickly locked onto the fallen tree in front of him.
Behind the tree, two figures slowly emerged - a man and a woman, they were the attackers this time.
"Jiayin Seventh Realm! You are so lucky that you can live to the next day." A middle-aged man with an ordinary face sneered. His cheekbones were unusually prominent. He was wearing a yellow coarse vest, had strong muscles, and held a golden wheel in his hand.
At this time, the veins on his arms were bulging, obviously he had exerted too much force.
"Well, it's worth our hard work!" The woman at the side agreed. She had a delicate face, smooth skin, and the appearance of a young girl, which was in stark contrast to the man next to her. However, her hands were covered with wrinkles, full of traces of time.
She also put her hands together in front of her chest, ready to cast a spell at any time.
The two people came from Huaming Sect and were the supreme elders there. The woman's Dharma name was Elder Qiling and the man's Dharma name was Elder Qixiong, but they both had not much time left to live, so they wanted to take part in the trial and seek a last chance.
Lin Xiao looked at the two of them warily, and then recognized them.
Originally, when they were waiting at the north gate of Tianshu Academy, although everyone's eyes would linger on him, who was in the seventh realm of Jiayin, they only lingered for a short while. Only the two of them and another man in black kept their eyes on him.
"So it's you two. It seems you looked for me a lot yesterday!" Lin Xiao replied provocatively. One of them was in the second level of Jiachen and the other was in the first level of Dingsi. He was still confident that he could defeat them.
"In order to kill you and get a good start, we both searched for you for a whole day. It was really a case of searching for you everywhere but finding you was entirely due to fate." The old woman Qi Ling said.
"Then let's see if you two have the ability to do it!" Lin Xiao continued to provoke, and at the same time he also wanted to know whether the transparent button on his back was placed by these two people.
"Go ahead, stop wasting time talking to him!" Elder Qi Xiong ordered angrily.
He waved the golden wheel, performed some body techniques, and rushed towards Lin Xiao rapidly. The golden wheel turned into a golden lightning and rushed straight towards Lin Xiao.
At the same time, Elder Qi Ling quickly formed seals, and suddenly the golden wheel in her hand burst into flames. The flames engulfed the entire golden wheel, and the scorching flames caused the air to begin to distort.
Then, she sneered and launched her terrifying fire combination skills.
Seeing the flames approaching, Lin Xiao had an idea and immediately used the "Ghost Spirit Sword Stab", and the sword energy around him instantly became denser.
The moment the golden wheel collided with the long sword, sparks flew, the light was dazzling, and the huge shock wave uprooted the surrounding trees.
Lin Xiao was not only facing Qi Xiong's golden wheel attack at this time, but also the flames from Elder Qi Ling attacking from all directions.
"Fire meteors! Fire arrow rain! Fire vortex! Raging fire! Dance of the fire phoenix! Fire shock wave!" Elder Qi Ling continuously released fire skills, and the five elements of fire raged around Lin Xiao.
Her attack was so powerful that it forced Lin Xiao to dodge continuously. Although he was hit by flames many times, he still endured the pain and remained calm.
"What a fierce flame." Lin Xiao commented secretly as he dodged.
Faced with such a fierce attack, he felt a little uncomfortable, but at the critical moment, he displayed the "Illusionary Body Skill·Imitation Move Phantom", and a powerful Lin Xiao suddenly appeared from behind him and pounced on Qi Ling.
"Wait until I get rid of this clone, then I will come to help you." Elder Qi Ling said coldly to Qi Xiong.
She didn't care about this "imitation trick", thinking it was just a trivial trick.
Then, she started a fierce battle with the clone. The power of Lin Xiao seemed real. She used Lin Xiao's swordsmanship and continued to oppress Qi Ling.
At this time, Qi Xiong gradually felt pressured by Lin Xiao's counterattack.
Although he was strong and powerful, he had to admit that Lin Xiao's fighting ability was not inferior to his.
Suddenly, Qi Xiong roared: "Giant Dragon Sky-Splitting Wheel!"
He threw the golden wheel into the air, and it suddenly became extremely huge, like a golden dragon circling in the air, rushing towards Lin Xiao with a strong force that could break through the air.
Lin Xiao did not hesitate and quickly performed the "Sword Qi Strike".
With a clear sound, two unparalleled sword auras shot out from the long sword, containing invincible sword intent, almost piercing through the heaven and earth.
As the sword energy swept across, the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart, and endless shock waves suddenly spread out in all directions, with a deafening roar.
The trees within a radius of more than ten meters were cut down in an instant, revealing a bare battlefield.
"Bang!" The two forces intertwined and collided, and the huge shock wave blasted Lin Xiao and Qi Xiong back at the same time.
Behind the two men, the ground cracked, leaving deep scratches, and the vibrations were so strong that they were frightening.
Qi Xiong held his chest with one hand, panting heavily, and sighed inwardly: "Sure enough, he is very powerful... This impact has a significant impact on me."
His face was a little pale, obviously severely injured by Lin Xiao's sword energy, but he still managed to hold on with his strong body.
In contrast, Lin Xiao appeared normal, with a calm expression, and the energy in his body was endless, far beyond that of an ordinary person.
"This little bit of damage is just like a tickle to me." He raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Seeing that the bear was obviously injured, he had an idea and immediately used the "Illusionary Body Skill: Imitating Phantom Moves".
In an instant, another powerful Lin Xiao emerged from the void and pounced towards Qi Xiong. Lin Xiao took the opportunity to attack the enemy again.
A trace of panic flashed in Qi Xiong's eyes, but facing two Lin Xiaos, his pressure instantly doubled.
"Come and help me!" Qi Xiong roared and waved the golden wheel to forcibly resist the oncoming sword energy, but he gradually felt powerless and retreated frequently.
Every time he swung the golden wheel, his steps were disrupted by Lin Xiao's swift swordsmanship.
At the same time, the battle between Qili Lin Xiao and Qi Ling gradually became fierce.
Qi Ling was obviously overwhelmed. She had many complicated secret techniques in her hands, but she was unable to fully utilize her advantages when fighting against Lin Xiao's physical clone.
Lin Xiao's swordsmanship had made it difficult for her to maintain her magic circle, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Fire Meteor!" She shouted and performed a new fire secret technique. The flames shot towards the powerful Lin Xiaofei like a meteor.
Lin Xiao dodged cleverly and then used the "Phantom Spirit Sword" again to launch a new attack on her.
Lin Xiao did not miss this opportunity. Seeing Qi Xiong's weakness, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he whispered, "This is your last chance."
Then, Lin Xiao's sword drew a perfect arc in the air and pierced the bear's chest.
"puff!"
The sword pierced through the bear's chest, and blood gushed out instantly, dyeing the surrounding air red.
"Go!" Qi Xiong used up his last bit of strength, endured the severe pain, and shouted to Qi Ling in a hoarse voice.
As the sword was drawn out, his body suddenly fell to the ground, but his eyes were fixed in the direction of Qi Ling.
When Qi Ling saw this scene, his face changed drastically and he became panicked.
She mobilized all her strength and suddenly unleashed a "Fire Dragon Strike". A huge fire dragon pounced towards Lin Xiaofei, the flames blazing and frightening.
However, Qi Ling did not stop. She turned around and prepared to escape quickly, intending to leave the battlefield under the cover of the fire dragon.
However, her escape plan did not go as planned.
Lin Xiao was quick-witted and realized her intention in an instant. He swung out his sword and attacked her immediately. The moment she turned around, the tip of the sword was already against her eyebrows.
"Stop." Lin Xiao said coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, locking onto her movements.
Elder Qi Ling's expression changed instantly. Her originally smooth face seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. Her skin began to become dry and cracked, and wrinkles appeared.
She raised her head weakly and looked at Lin Xiao, her face full of despair and helplessness.
"Kill me, I accept it. You have been targeted and you won't live long." Elder Qi Ling's voice was low and full of endless despair.
Lin Xiao was stunned. He thought that the old woman would negotiate with him for survival, but he never expected her to be so determined, with an unconcealable determination to die in her eyes.
"Do you know who's targeting me?" Lin Xiao frowned, but remained calm. "Tell me who's targeting me and how, and I might consider letting you go."
Elder Qi Ling suddenly let out a low laugh, his voice hoarse but with a hint of coldness: "Hahaha..."
Before she finished her words, she suddenly rushed towards Lin Xiao's sword. The tip of the sword pierced her forehead, and blood instantly dyed the entire battlefield red.
Lin Xiao's expression changed, and he whispered to himself: "This is too decisive. But even if you tell me, I will still let you die." There was no wavering in his tone.
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a strange touch. Something seemed to have fallen on his hair, and a slight collision sound came into his ears.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the thing in front of him gradually became clear - it was a transparent object.
He reacted quickly and placed it in front of him to examine it carefully.
The object began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly changing from transparent to wooden, and finally condensing into an object the size of a button, exactly the same as the one Qi Yebai had taken from behind him before.
Lin Xiao looked down at the transparent button in his hand.
He never expected that this inconspicuous little object would be hidden in his hair.
When entering the island, he had carefully checked his clothes to make sure there was nothing unusual.
However, this tiny thing was hidden in his hair without his knowledge, making it impossible to guard against it.
"Damn it, it's really hard to guard against." Lin Xiao whispered, feeling quite helpless.
He quickly began to check his hair, fearing that the same item might be found elsewhere.
But after a careful search, it was finally confirmed that there were no more transparent buttons.
He sighed and thought to himself, "It seems that others may have more sophisticated methods."
After checking his own body, Lin Xiao began to search the bodies of Qi Qi Xiong and Elder Qi Ling.
Before long, his harvest was still very poor.
There were only two bottles of poison, two "Huamingmen" tokens, some dry food and two unknown pills.
Lin Xiao's face showed no joy at all for these items, but instead a hint of disappointment. "This is too poor."
He felt helpless. After all, most of these contestants were determined to die. Who would bring abundant supplies in such an environment?
The only thing that made Lin Xiao feel a little relieved was the two pills.
Although he didn't know their functions, they were most likely medicines for healing or replenishing strength.
However, he still didn't dare to try it rashly. What if it was some other dangerous medicine? So he just put it away and waited for the right time to make a decision.
Just as Lin Xiao was about to leave, his eyes accidentally swept across the golden wheel next to the corpse.
Suddenly, an idea struck him. "This golden wheel would be a good trophy."
He activated the "Weapon Control Technique" and moved his fingers slightly. The golden wheel seemed to respond to the spiritual energy and trembled slightly.
Lin Xiao was not in a hurry. He pointed his finger into the air, and the golden wheel rose up and flew rapidly towards his fingertip.
"Not bad, you're quite knowledgeable." Lin Xiao smiled with satisfaction and nodded, thinking to himself, "It's worthy of being the spoils I picked."
Then he used his hidden weapon to take the golden wheel back into his body.
Although he has not yet fully understood the power of the Golden Wheel, this special magic weapon will undoubtedly enhance his strength.
He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "It seems that this time it's not all in vain."
After saying that, Lin Xiao did not stay any longer.
He felt that other contestants would definitely come here after hearing the news, and he had to leave here as soon as possible.
So, he used his skills to quickly leave this troubled place.
Lin Xiao, who was moving quickly in the forest, did not pay attention to Elder Ling's last words - the person she mentioned who was "targeting me".
Lin Xiao was no longer surprised by this kind of threat, thinking to himself: "If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth."
Since I have come to this suspended island, I have no intention of leaving easily.
If a powerful enemy really wanted to target him, Lin Xiao was not afraid. Instead, he felt that this trial made him even more eager to fight against the powerful.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiao stopped and found that everything around him was quiet and there seemed to be no one around.
Feeling relieved, he decided to find a high ground to rest for a while, to recover his strength and solve his hunger problem.
He chose a tall tree, quickly climbed to the top, sat on a branch, and meditated to recover.
From the top of the tree, he could overlook the entire forest, which was both safe and convenient for observation.
Near noon, he finally took out some dry food from his food bag and simply solved his hunger problem.
Just as Lin Xiao was about to continue practicing, he suddenly heard the voice of Elder Haidong:
"The area where the collapse occurred early this morning is a swamp. People in the area are requested to evacuate immediately."
Lin Xiao felt relieved and thought to himself, "It's good that I can stay in this plain for two more days. There's no need to evacuate in a hurry."
He looked down at the dry food in his hand, relaxed, and continued to practice and recover.
As time passed, Lin Xiao's strength gradually recovered.
By the afternoon, he felt that his strength had fully recovered and was ready to continue his journey through the forest.
On the way, he encountered several Jiayin ninth level monsters, quickly dealt with them, and harvested several fairy jades.
However, Lin Xiao's fight did not stop there.
During this period, I met several contestants from the Jiachen and Dingsi realms.
When these people saw that Lin Xiao was a cultivator at the seventh level of Jiayin, greed flashed in their eyes and they couldn't help but take action.
However, Lin Xiao did not give them any chance. He quickly killed the two men and collected their bodies.
Although the harvest was still meager, he had gotten used to this situation and no longer held too many expectations.
"It seems that I still need to find a hard persimmon to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and establish some deterrent power." Lin Xiao said to himself, with a hint of helplessness and sneer in his voice.
Just as he was about to continue wandering in the forest, he suddenly heard the sound of fierce fighting in the distance.
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up immediately, and a surge of interest rose in his heart. "Finally, I can be the 'yellow bird' for once."
He quickly sneaked towards the direction of the fighting sound, his steps light and silent, gradually approaching the source of the battle.
When he quietly came to ten meters away from the battlefield, he looked up and found three people fighting fiercely in front of him.
Lin Xiao secretly guessed that it might be a situation where the majority bullied the minority.
However, when he looked closely, he was stunned by the figure in front of him.
The man had a slender figure and his back looked very similar to Qi Yebai. Lin Xiao was suddenly startled and the familiar name instantly emerged in his mind.
"Could it be Qi Yebai?" Lin Xiao's heart beat faster and he hurried closer, trying to see the man's true face.
