Lonely Immortal

Chapter 524 Why can’t we win?

Zhang Zhiwen's opponent was an ordinary cultivator who looked to be in his early thirties. When he saw Zhang Zhiwen on stage, he was obviously a little disdainful, but he still clasped his fists towards Zhang Zhiwen and said, "I am Kunmeng, please teach me more!"

Zhang Zhiwen also returned the greeting, but he just clasped his fists and didn't say much, because everyone knew who he was, and at this moment, everyone in the audience looked over, waiting to see how Zhang Zhiwen would be defeated by Kunmeng, and Zhang Zhiwen also had this plan. He saw that Kunmeng was about the level of Shi Yanfeng. In this case, he certainly couldn't use the ancient Taoism, so he planned to use ordinary Taoism to deal with him, and ordinary Taoism couldn't be used at 100% of its power. He was worried that the guy in front of him couldn't stand it, so Zhang Zhiwen planned to use 50% of its power, and 50% of its power would be enough to be defeated by the opponent.

But Zhang Zhiwen's simple return gift caused dissatisfaction from the other party, who thought that Zhang Zhiwen was deliberately arrogant. Therefore, Kunmeng suddenly snorted coldly, and then directly offered Taoism to Zhang Zhiwen. All the magic weapons that covered the sky and the earth shot out instantly, which contained quite sharp swordsmanship. The sword energy was diffused and blocked all of Zhang Zhiwen's retreat routes. This was a posture of intending to blow Zhang Zhiwen off the ring in one fell swoop.

Of course, Zhang Zhiwen could directly choose to abandon the battle at this moment, that is, to escape without fighting, but Zhang Zhiwen did not, because if he did so, it would be too deliberate. Since he was on the stage, he had to pretend anyway. Therefore, when Zhang Zhiwen saw the other party's sword energy coming, he immediately offered Taoism, but Zhang Zhiwen did not have so many magic weapons, so he used his body instead of the sword and went directly to the other party's sword energy.

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen actually use his physical body to fight, everyone was extremely surprised, but this was Zhang Zhiwen's way of fighting all along. His physical body was much stronger than his magic weapon, but in the eyes of others, Zhang Zhiwen was courting death, and Kun Meng thought so too. When he saw Zhang Zhiwen actually use his physical body to kill into the sword energy, he showed contempt.

"Go to hell!" Kun Meng suddenly retracted his sword energy, and the power of this sword suddenly increased, and then fiercely blasted towards Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen also pretended to shout loudly, and then raised his hand and pointed, using his finger as the tip of the sword, and instantly collided with the opponent's sword energy.

A loud bang spread out, and the swords of both sides collided, bursting out with a shocking sound, and the powerful energy spread everywhere. Kunmeng was immediately blown away, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out. On the other hand, Zhang Zhiwen stood still on the stage, but there was a rather surprised expression on his face. Obviously, Zhang Zhiwen did not expect that the opponent would be so vulnerable. He only used ordinary swordsmanship, and only used 50% of the power, but this Kunmeng could not resist.

But soon, Zhang Zhiwen came back to his senses. Although he used 50% of the power of ordinary swordsmanship, he had a strong body and the copper fruit of the true realm. With such a strong foundation, his so-called 50% ordinary Dao power directly surpassed the opponent's 100% Dao power, and even far surpassed it.

Careless!

Zhang Zhiwen suddenly felt a little regretful. He had planned to go up and suffer a defeat, but he never thought that the opponent was so weak. If he had known this earlier, he would have only used 10% of the power of the Taoism. Even if it was 10% of the power of the Taoism, with the blessing of the True Realm Copper Dao Fruit and the strength of his physical body, he could also compete with the opponent's 50% of the power of the Taoism. If the opponent used 100% of the power of the Taoism, it would be no problem to defeat Zhang Zhiwen.

However, things have already happened, and they cannot be changed. Kunmeng was blown away by Zhang Zhiwen's move, fell off the ring, and fainted on the spot. This power surprised everyone, and everyone was at a loss, because no one thought that Zhang Zhiwen was so powerful that he defeated Kunmeng in one move. Even if Kunmeng was weak, he should not be defeated so easily, right?

"This Kunmeng is so careless!"

Someone suddenly said, and when this came out, everyone came back to their senses and agreed with this.

"Yes, he deserved to be defeated for being so careless. He didn't even consider his own strength. He only used 50% of his power to try to defeat others. He really overestimated himself."

"He didn't expect it, did he? He thought he could easily defeat Zhang Zhiwen, but he didn't know that Zhang Zhiwen would go all out, and even use his trump card. Otherwise, how could he use his body to resist the sword energy? But this trump card is quite special, which makes people easily overlook it."

"This should be the way of body refining. This is not a rare thing. Low-level cultivators like to take shortcuts and the way of body refining. This kind of unorthodox way is not worth mentioning. It's a pity that Kunmeng neglected it. He was careless, otherwise he might not lose this battle. "

"That's right, just look at the aura of Taoism on that kid and you will know that it is not a top-notch Taoism. That's why he was able to get away with it. Otherwise, how could he pass the test of the immortal position?"

"In that case, his strength should be extremely low. Now he has desperately taken out a killing move. I don't think he can fight next and must rest for a while."

...

A group of people talked about it. After hearing it, Zhang Zhiwen was also a little amused. He thought that these people would be suspicious and even wary of his strength, but they didn't know that they were wrong and thought that his strength was still extremely low.

But not everyone here thinks so. Zhang Zhiwen noticed that Zhou Yiyan and others still had some different expressions, which seemed to be confused and alert. Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwen suddenly vomited blood from the corner of his mouth, and then staggered.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiyan and others were relieved immediately, with disdain in their eyes, and then looked away, and Zhang Zhiwen also took this opportunity to hurriedly leave the stage. This act made Zhu Qianrou stare at her eyes, but Zhang Zhiwen said nothing. After returning, he sat down and looked like he needed to recover urgently after fighting hard.

"Humph!..." Shi Yanfeng couldn't help but snorted when he saw Zhang Zhiwen like this. Obviously, although he saw that Zhang Zhiwen won, he thought that Zhang Zhiwen just won by luck.

At this moment, everyone was deceived by Zhang Zhiwen, and this is what Zhang Zhiwen wanted. Anyway, he didn't need to pay much to deceive everyone, which would be extremely beneficial to him. Of course, Zhang Zhiwen could beat everyone in a blatant way, but wouldn't this be a thankless approach? Apart from anything else, if Zhou Yiyan and others united to deal with him, Zhang Zhiwen might not dare to say that he had won 100% of these people after the round-robin battle. Besides, he didn't need to be the target of public criticism.

Imagine if Zhang Zhiwen showed his strongest strength at once, what would happen in the subsequent individual challenge? It must be that all the cultivators in the top ten teams came to trouble him. It wasn't just Zhou Yiyan and others who challenged him. A hundred cultivators with ancient Taoism came one after another to fight him. This was simply asking for trouble, so Zhang Zhiwen naturally didn't want to ask for trouble.

Therefore, it is not that Zhang Zhiwen deliberately wants to keep a low profile, but after keeping a low profile, he has obvious benefits. First, let these people fight among themselves, and then Zhang Zhiwen can take advantage of the situation to rise.

In this case, Zhang Zhiwen naturally has to act well, and at this moment, everyone has been deceived by him, and his purpose has certainly been achieved. Zhu Qianrou certainly sees the tricks in this, but this time Zhu Qianrou didn't say anything. She also knows that Zhang Zhiwen's strategy is very wise and very important. Unless she Zhu Qianrou does not intend to seize the Silver Dao Fruit, otherwise she will understand Zhang Zhiwen's good intentions.

In this way, the challenge continued, and the Tianshui Wonderland team still won this round of challenges, but they also paid a price for it. Hou Guanling and others were defeated, including Shi Yanfeng. They were injured and their Taoist magic was consumed a lot. It seems that they are unable to continue the next battle. Therefore, the pressure is given to Shi Wuyin and others. Now only Shi Wuyin, Bai Feifan and Tuoba Yun of the Tianshui Wonderland team still have fighting power. Of course, Zhu Qianrou also has fighting power. The rest need to recover.

"It seems they can't hold out for much longer."

"Yes, this is only the third game, and there will be the fourth and fifth games later... I can't imagine how they will deal with it then."

"Hey, not everyone can get the first place. They thought everything would be fine if they won the first place, but they didn't expect that it might be nothing in the end?"

"Don't you say that things in the world are unpredictable? This is God's will."

...

All the people were not optimistic about the Tianshui Wonderland team, but the subsequent battles were not bad. After all, Shi Wuyin and others were still capable. Shi Wuyin could fight two people at once, Bai Feifan and Tuoba Yun could also defeat their opponents smoothly. When it came to Zhu Qianrou, she also fought two people at once. In this way, the Tianshui Wonderland team won several games smoothly. During this process, Hou Guanling and others still tried to rest and recover, and Zhang Zhiwen also took the opportunity to pretend to rest and recover. However, no one blamed Zhang Zhiwen at this time, because Hou Guanling and others were also unable to fight, right? Then Zhang Zhiwen was injured, and he could also not fight openly.

However, the next two extremely important challenges are: one is the challenge from Lu Xiaolou's team, and the other is the challenge from Lu Yuanba's team. As long as they pass these two levels, the Tianshui Wonderland team can keep the first place ranking. If they are defeated, all their efforts will be wasted.

Soon, Lu Xiaolou's team came to challenge. Lu Xiaolou's team is not so easy to deal with. This is the twelfth-ranked team. In addition to Lu Xiaolou's two ancient Taoist methods, there is also a cultivator in the team who has an ancient Taoist method. This strength is stronger than Shi Wuyin and Zhu Qianrou. In addition, the other members are not weak. After a rest and recovery, Hou Guanling and others have barely recovered their combat power, and they can barely be regarded as having a fighting posture.

So, Lu Xiaolou's team went on the field first. Lu Xiaolou sent out an ordinary cultivator, but he seemed to be quite strong, about the same level as Yu Wenzhen. He was the weakest in Lu Xiaolou's team, but compared to the Tianshui Fairyland team, his strength was not weak, but medium. As a result, the Tianshui Fairyland team immediately felt the pressure.

"Fellow Daoists, it's a crucial moment, everyone must go all out." Shi Wuyin felt a lot of pressure, she couldn't help but remind everyone, and then she looked at Hou Guanling. Obviously, she hoped that Hou Guanling would play the first game, because the opponent was challenging them openly, there was no need to play any tricks. They let their weakest members come up to prevent the Tianshui Wonderland team from taking shortcuts. If the Tianshui Wonderland team let cultivators who were stronger than Yuwen Zhen go on the field, it would not be worth it, even if Yuwen Zhen was sent up. Even if Yuwen Zhen won, Hou Guanling and others who were weaker than Yuwen Zhen would definitely lose, which would be tantamount to being useless, and the number of wins would definitely be less than that of the opponent.

In that case, Hou Guanling must go up and fight hard, but after hearing this, Hou Guanling couldn't help but look at Zhang Zhiwen, and the others also subconsciously looked at Zhang Zhiwen, because Hou Guanling felt that Zhang Zhiwen was the weakest, and why did Shi Wuyin let him go first?

Seeing this, Shi Wuyin sighed helplessly, and she had to look at Zhu Qianrou. Obviously, if Zhu Qianrou didn't agree, she couldn't do anything.

Zhu Qianrou sneered and said, "Monkey, do you think you are better than Zhiwen?"

This is quite direct. After hearing this, Hou Guanling's face suddenly flushed, which was obviously unconvinced, but Zhu Qianrou sneered again: "Then tell me, have you won so far?"

"I..." Hou Guanling was speechless again because of Zhu Qianrou's words, but he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart. Obviously, he didn't think Zhang Zhiwen was better than him, but now that things have come to this, he has no choice. Therefore, although he was unwilling, he still had to go on stage.

As for Zhang Zhiwen, he didn't say anything from beginning to end. He didn't plan to go up at this time, and when it was time for him to take action, he would naturally take action.

So, Hou Guanling went up to fight with others. This time, Hou Guanling didn't know if he was stimulated or not, anyway, he fought very hard, and also took out a rare killer. The opponent was unexpectedly defeated by him. Of course, Hou Guanling was also seriously injured.

But this game really surprised many people. Even Lu Xiaolou didn't expect Hou Guanling to win like a resurrection from the dead, but Zhang Zhiwen's mouth curled up slightly, because he thought, if he didn't do this, how could these people be willing to show their real skills and fight with others? This person, sometimes it's like this. If he, Zhang Zhiwen, took the lead in the charge, Hou Guanling and others would definitely do nothing. On the contrary, it's completely different now. See, if you don't push yourself, you don't know how great your potential is.

"You are so amazing..." Zhu Qianrou sent a message again, but Zhang Zhiwen didn't reply to her because he had just mentioned these things to Zhu Qianrou, because Zhu Qianrou was also worried that Hou Guanling would be defeated, and even worried that Shi Yanfeng would be defeated. If this continued, it would be useless for her and Shi Wuyin to win two games. After all, there were Lu Xiaolou and another opponent with considerable strength. The Tianshui Fairyland team was likely to fail.

It is not difficult to see from this that although Zhu Qianrou knew that Zhang Zhiwen was very strong, she had not really realized how strong Zhang Zhiwen was in her cognition, otherwise Zhu Qianrou would not have needed to worry.

Then Zhang Zhiwen naturally told her these things, and let Hou Guanling and others fight, perhaps they could stimulate their potential. Sure enough, Hou Guanling did it, and the next one was Shi Yanfeng. After Shi Yanfeng went up, the opponent was prepared. After all, they were a little careless in the game with Hou Guanling, but Shi Yanfeng saw that Hou Guanling had won, and he was also stimulated. If he lost, wouldn't it be extremely embarrassing? How can he survive in Tianshui Fairyland in the future?

Therefore, Shi Yanfeng also fought desperately, even more desperately than Hou Guanling. He used his trump card as soon as he went up, and beat his opponent step by step. His opponent was different from him. His opponent did not have the intention to fight desperately, because there were other people who could replace him. At most, the captain Lu Xiaolou and another stronger cultivator could save the defeat. He did not have much pressure, but Shi Yanfeng was different. He was under a lot of pressure and he wanted to save face. In this case, Shi Yanfeng actually defeated his opponent, which was like a miracle. Zhang Zhiwen had expected all this, so how could Zhu Qianrou not admire Zhang Zhiwen.

But these were nothing to Zhang Zhiwen. He had experienced too many things, and he himself knew how much potential a person had in an extreme environment. Just like when he was stranded in the wilderness, he was just a child, but he could survive, so why couldn't Hou Guanling and Shi Yanfeng and others win?
