The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 684: Sun and Moon Worship the Spring God

In the capital of Jinquan Kingdom, on the arena in front of Juque Royal City.

The competition among the sword cultivators has gradually come to an end, and has begun the contest between the three strongest ones: Chen Weiming, an outer sect disciple of the Shuzhong Sword Pavilion, Su Hanshui, a descendant of the Jizhou Su family's branch, and Wang Ce, a direct descendant of the Taiyi Fire Palace.

The first battle was between Chen Weiming and Su Hanshui.

Both of them were masters of ice-type sword energy, and the levels of their magical powers were also comparable. For a moment, the arena was completely covered by wind and snow, blocking vision and spiritual awareness. All that could be seen were two cold lights fighting each other.

After this lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, the wind and snow suddenly dissipated, and everyone could see the situation clearly.

Su Hanshui was in a miserable state, two of his three heads were chopped off, and only half of his six arms were left, but at least he was still on the ring.

His opponent, Jian Ge disciple Chen Weiming, did not appear to have any injuries, but he fell outside the ring and was unconscious.

"Su Hanshui actually won? He just got promoted to 'divine power' a few days ago, right?" Ming Hongyue, who was sitting in the VIP seat, covered her mouth in amazement and whispered to Feng Wan beside her.

Feng Wan, who was wearing a veil, nodded and responded, "He broke through the realm not long ago when he and the young master attended the wedding of 'Happy Bodhisattva'... The 'Three-Headed Swordsman' is worthy of its reputation. The 'Fighting and Shengxuan Zhengfa' of the Jizhou Su family is indeed powerful."

Although Su Hanshui's main martial art "Sword Art to Slay Demons" is only a unique skill of the Su family's Foreign Affairs Hall, it is adapted from the family's orthodox "Fighting and Ascending Xuan Method".

"Both of them are using 'ice' type sword energy, so they are both very suspicious... Who do you think it could be?" Ming Hongyue asked quietly, secretly holding a talisman she had just acquired.

Feng Wan thought carefully about the battle just now, and finally shook her head helplessly: "I can't be sure... but Su Hanshui's 'ice' meaning is more pure, even stronger than the 'ice' meaning in my 'Flying Snow Divine Sword Scripture'."

"So you mean 'Ice Dragon Sword' Chen Weiming? Is he pretending to be injured and unconscious?" Although Ming Hongyue did not go to see Chen Weiming who was receiving treatment, most of her attention was focused on him.

At this time, Wang Ce, the direct descendant of Taiyi Fire Palace, also stood up and said to Su Hanshui, who had finished his treatment, "Brother Su, can you fight again?"

Hearing this, Su Hanshui smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "My 'Three Heads and Six Arms' magical power has been broken, and it will not be able to recover within a few days. I am no match for Brother Wang... I admit defeat in this round."

"In this case, I am taking advantage of Brother Su and Brother Chen." Wang Ce seemed a little embarrassed and said sincerely, "Then I will take out 10% of the share of the 'Golden Liquid Treasure Spring' that I deserve and share it with the two of you..."

Before he could finish his words, Su Hanshui interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Luck is also a part of strength... So, it should be what it is. Otherwise, how can you convince others?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the other sword cultivators around the arena. His meaning was very clear: since the rules had been set, they should be followed. Otherwise, would the other sword cultivators who had won by chance have to give a portion of their earnings to their opponents?

That would be chaos.

There was a barely perceptible flash of disappointment in Wang Ce's eyes, and he was about to say something else, but at this moment, the sun was covered by "darkness" without any warning, and the surroundings suddenly became pitch dark. Even the monks who had opened their "eyes" could not see normally.

Even the "spiritual consciousness" of the Gangsha realm cultivators was compressed within a range of thirty to five feet around them, and only the "divine consciousness" could barely penetrate the "darkness".

The incident happened suddenly, and Ming Hongyue and Feng Wan were not prepared, but they both said "not good" in their hearts at the same time!
Ming Hongyue threw the newly acquired talisman in her hand away without even thinking about it.

Sizzle...hiss...

As silver arcs of lightning tore through the darkness, Ming Hongyue saw countless sword energies coming towards her like a blizzard, but they were all blocked by a lightning net.

But even so, Ming Hongyue also felt the icy coldness contained in those sword energies - even if any one of them landed on her, it would completely crush her body. "This is 'Snow Falling on the World'..." Feng Wan couldn't help but whispered beside her. Her heart was colder than those "snowflakes" at this moment, after all, it was her own ancestor who tried to kill her.

"So this is 'Snow Falls on Earth'!
"If I had activated that talisman a second later, I would have been dead..." Ming Hongyue took a deep breath, calmed her accelerated heartbeat, then frowned her pretty eyebrows and said in confusion, "The talisman should not have achieved this effect, was it Lei Ji who did it herself?

"But why didn't she show up, and instead just gave us a talisman?"

Feng Wan thought about it and said uncertainly: "It should be the young master's order, and the young master..."

Before she finished her words, Ming Hongyue interrupted her and said, "And the young master has his own reasons! Right?"

His tone was full of teasing.

Feng Wan rolled her eyes at her and ignored her.

In fact, there are two reasons why Fang Pei Niang did not show up:

Firstly, this was the calamity that belonged to Ming Hongyue and Feng Wan. If she forced her way in, it would only increase the difficulty and put them in greater danger, so she only provided the talisman.

Secondly, the talisman was a test product of Zhao Chen's experiment to expand the ability of the "Great Sun Lamp" to "add spells to items."

He added "defensive skills" to the "electrical grid" sealed by the talisman and pre-deposited some "star coins".

In other words, the "power grid" will not be breached before the "star coins" are consumed.

It is precisely because of this that it can temporarily resist the attack of the third-grade magical power "Snow Drifting on the Earth".

At this time, Su Hanshui's voice came from the darkness: "Wang Ce, what are you doing?
"No... You are not my brother! As a disciple of Taiyi Fire Palace, my brother does not know the magical power of ice and snow."

Immediately afterwards, the sound of flying swords colliding violently was heard in the darkness.

They failed to launch a successful sneak attack in the first place and even reached a stalemate with the "power grid". Such a big commotion naturally could not be hidden from the powerful monks present.

Feng Qing's disguised identity was also revealed—it was not Chen Weiming, but Wang Ce!

Ming Hongyue couldn't help but feel a little scared, because she and Feng Wan had guessed the wrong direction completely. If it weren't for the sudden "darkness" that made Feng Qing feel that she had a better chance, she would probably have fallen into the other party's trap.

You know, as a princess, Ming Hongyue didn't notice any flaw in Wang Ce's admiration for her. She was even a little complacent and felt that she had won over Feng Wan this time.

Who would have thought that that centuries-old witch was so good at pretending!
Time is hard to perceive in the darkness. Perhaps half a quarter of an hour, or perhaps a quarter of an hour later, Ming Hongyue finally saw a ray of light breaking through the "darkness".

At the same time, a female figure suddenly appeared in the air, causing everyone, including Feng Qing's clone who was fighting, Su Hanshui, and Fang Peiniang, to kneel down on the ground and kowtow involuntarily.

"Yin and Yang are in harmony to welcome the Empress, and the Sun and Moon are in harmony to worship the Spring God."
