Chapter 337 9 color deer
However, to Du Fan's surprise, the astonishing roar just now was not directed at him, but rather within the Whip Shadow Light Barrier.
Within the whip-shadow light barrier, a blue python materialized, hissing and coiling as it clashed with the golden fist cloud.
"Another Great Five Elements spell! It seems that once one's cultivation reaches the peak of the Qi Refining stage, one can unleash a portion of the Great Five Elements power through special means." Du Fan's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood.
A moment later, a deafening roar echoed from where the azure python and the golden fist cloud were. It turned out that the azure python had raised its head and hissed before detonating itself, using the terrifying force of the explosion to perish together with the golden fist cloud.
The girl in yellow changed the direction of her soft whip, and immediately a large number of blue whip shadows appeared again. A newborn python was hidden within them. The two covered each other and swept straight towards Du Fan.
Faced with such a large-scale attack, Du Fan dared not be careless. He once again unleashed his strongest physical technique, swinging his arms fiercely. A second golden fist cloud appeared, radiating light, and directly met the attack.
After a deafening roar, the two resumed their battle.
The whips flashed densely, like sharp blades, covering the sky and the earth, within which blue pythons slithered, occasionally hissing.
The golden fist cloud shone brightly, indestructible and rampaging, spreading out with tremendous force that prevented the whip shadow from getting close. At the same time, it split open a huge mouth, generating invisible sound waves that collided with the hissing sound of the python, instantly distorting the void.
Du Fan and the girl in yellow possessed astonishing magical abilities and were evenly matched in their battle, making it difficult to determine a winner for the time being.
In the VIP section, Zi Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she suddenly transmitted her voice, "Brother Liu, what are Du Fan's chances of winning this battle?"
"If this were before the fight, according to my prediction, this kid only had a 10% chance of winning. But now it seems that the two are evenly matched, and their chances of winning are both fifty-fifty." Liu Zhongtian's eyes flashed with a strange light, clearly he was very surprised by Du Fan's performance today.
"That's what I think too. If Du Fan can really advance to the top five in the competition, it will be a historic first for our Crescent Island. After all, there has never been a case in the history of the Sea and Sky Feast where a cultivator from a medium-sized island occupies the top five." Zi Yan's expression became more and more excited.
"I am just saying that, based on the current situation, the outcome of the battle between the two is about 50/50. However, Shang Yutang, this little girl, has a very special status on Fallen Leaf Island. Even if she is not as good as Sima Lie and Liao Mingyu, she is probably not much different."
The senior Hua behind Shang Yatou obtained a magical beast a few years ago. It is said that the beast's bloodline is of great origin. After years of cultivation, it is hard to predict how far the beast has advanced, but it is at least level three.
Although this girl was born to Senior Hua's daughter, he doted on her quite a bit, and that magical beast is most likely now on her body. Liu Zhongtian shook his head and transmitted this message telepathically.
"I've heard about that magical beast before, but... that's unlikely. This woman has fought many battles, but she has never summoned a magical beast to help her." Zi Yan frowned slightly, speaking with some uncertainty.
"That's because there hasn't been a cultivator who's worthy of this woman summoning magical beasts yet," Liu Zhongtian said with a slight smile.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the arena.
On the number one arena, the old man in the yellow robe was shot backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. Then, the old man's body crashed heavily into the barrier light screen. When he hit the ground, he was motionless, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
"Sima Lie wins the first arena!" The Foundation Establishment Hall Master outside the arena immediately announced the result.
Sima Lie ignored the old man, glanced at the second arena, then withdrew his gaze expressionlessly and slowly walked off the arena.
In the next half hour, the matches on arenas number three and number five were completed one after another. At this time, only the matches on arenas number two and number four, where Du Fan was located, were still engaged in fierce battles.
Another booming sound came from the second arena.
The cyan whip shadow, along with the giant serpent and python within it, collapsed instantly under a sweeping spatial ripple, transforming back into a cyan soft whip with a snake's head at the end.
The golden fist cloud was also shaken into specks of golden light and dissipated by the python's final strike.
Shang Yutang moved swiftly and appeared seven or eight zhang away from Du Fan. She smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist Du's strength is indeed extraordinary. I am afraid that even if we fought for several more hours with my current abilities, we would still not be able to determine a winner."
"Since that's the case, I'll have to apologize. If Fellow Daoist Du has any tricks up his sleeve, feel free to use them now. Otherwise, you might not have another chance."
Du Fan looked at the woman opposite him, his face darkened, and he remained silent.
Suddenly, Shang Yutang raised an eyebrow, patted her storage bag with her jade hand, and immediately a ball of three-colored light flew out, landing on the ground and transforming into a three-colored deer.
This deer is five feet tall, with a triangular head and its entire body covered in red, yellow, and blue fur. Its pair of bright black eyes are lively and darting around, making it extremely cute and full of spirit.
Judging from the aura emanating from this deer, its cultivation level is similar to that of a human cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage, and it is at its peak. It is only one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage. In the classification of demonic cultivators, this level belongs to the third-level demonic beast.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Du Fan has no chance of winning." Liu Zhongtian's eyes flashed, and he shook his head.
The other three guardians of Crescent Island all showed a hint of regret and sighed.
Du Fan was slightly stunned by the sight, but soon his expression changed, because the deer's appearance seemed to have a connection with a powerful creature from legend.
"Fellow Daoist Shang, it is said that among the ancient immortal beasts, there is a powerful creature called the Nine-Colored Deer. Its cultivation and supernatural powers are earth-shattering, and it can shake a world in an instant. It is on par with the Thousand-Tailed Fox, the Golden-Winged Roc, and the Spirit-Communicating Giant Ape."
"Fellow Daoist, could your three-colored deer have some connection with the legendary nine-colored deer?" Du Fan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Huh? Fellow Daoist Du isn't a cultivator from Crescent Moon Island, is he?" Upon hearing this, Shang Yutang couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Shang? Do you intend to question my identity?" Du Fan frowned.
"Fellow Daoist Du, please don't take it to heart. I was just a little curious."
In any case, a Qi Refining stage cultivator from a medium-sized island could never have such insight. Even the senior guardians of your island might not be able to say what you just said.
"I dare to guess that Fellow Daoist Du must be from the Nine Provinces Continent, right?" Shang Yutang smiled and asked in a nonchalant tone.
"I am just an ordinary rogue cultivator from Crescent Island. I can't help it if Fellow Daoist Shang makes such a conjecture. Fellow Daoist Shang, don't you intend to answer my question?" Du Fan said noncommittally.
Shang Yutang smiled faintly and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Du is unwilling to say more about the Nine Provinces Continent, I will not bring it up either."
As for this tricolor deer, it does indeed have some connection with the legendary ancient mythical beast, the Nine-Colored Deer. This beast contains a trace of the Nine-Colored Deer's bloodline power, although this trace is extremely weak, to the point of being negligible.
Upon hearing this, Du Fan's expression turned somewhat grim.
"I never expected that this tricolor deer would actually contain a trace of the bloodline power of the ancient immortal beast, the nine-colored deer. In that case, although this beast is currently only at the third level, its true strength is definitely not that simple."
"Even without this beast's assistance, Shang Yutang and I were only evenly matched. Now that they've added a magical beast of unpredictable strength, am I doomed to defeat...?"
Du Fan's gaze swept over the rather cute-looking tricolor deer, his expression shifting between light and dark as his thoughts raced.
"Now I only have two paths to take: one is to admit defeat outright, and the other is..."
Thinking of this, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in Du Fan's eyes, and his expression became decisive. He then slapped his storage bag, and a ball of white spiritual light flashed out. After the light dissipated, it transformed into a humanoid skeleton.
This skeleton is the size of a normal person, pure white, with green flames flickering in its eyes; it is clearly a white bone skeleton.
However, this skeleton was different from the ones that appeared before. It was holding a blue staff in its hand, which was the low-grade magic weapon. Moreover, a storage bag was hanging from the skeleton's waist. Its whole appearance was incongruous and quite comical.
After much hesitation, Du Fan finally took out the white skeleton. If he had encountered this woman in the previous competition, he would have simply admitted defeat. But now he was only one step away from the top five, and it would be too much of a pity to give up.
With his talent, without some great opportunity, Foundation Establishment would be something he wouldn't even dream of. But now the situation is different. As long as he enters the top five in the competition, he will have the opportunity to enter the Falling Sand Illusion to comprehend the Great Dao.
He believed he had a high level of comprehension, and if given this opportunity, he was confident he could amplify it infinitely, increasing his chances of building a foundation in the future by 30%, or even more!
Therefore, this battle is of paramount importance to him, and it is worth it even if it means risking being targeted by others!
"Huh? What is this...?"
After the white skeleton appeared, Shang Yutang, who was on the same stage as Du Fan, was stunned. All the cultivators on Crescent Island were stunned. Sima Lie on the special viewing platform was stunned. In the inner arena, all the cultivators who were paying attention to the second arena were stunned at this moment.
These people stared wide-eyed, utterly astonished at the trembling, shaking skeleton...
