Chapter 129.2
The person facing Cheng Qi was a wood cultivator from Haoyue Immortal Sect. As soon as he came on stage, the opponent showed a wary look, as if worried he would use the Sky Thunder Talisman again.
However, Cheng Qi did not use the talisman this time. He just held the long whip and prepared to compete directly. When the opponent saw this, he was secretly relieved but did not dare to be careless at all.
For a time, green vines began growing on the stone platform. As soon as Cheng Qi touched the tiny buds of the vines under his feet, he suddenly felt the spiritual power in his body draining away quickly, as if something was sucking it away. Only then did he realize that it was the spirit-taking vine.
Seeing the vines growing rapidly, Cheng Qi dodged the entangling green vines and used both hands to create a spell disk. The purple flames turned into pillars of light. Wherever they went, the green vines that spawned were instantly swallowed up by the flames, and the entire stone platform became a sea of fire.
Fire could overcome wood, so the wood cultivator was unlucky to face Cheng Qi.@@@@
The cultivator on the opposite side still refused to admit defeat easily. With a flick of his hand, a cork covered with spikes was drawn toward Cheng Qi’s position like a spiritual snake. This cork, called the non-burning wood, was specially found for dealing with fire cultivators.
When Cheng Qi saw the cork coming, he swung his long whip and connected with the cork, tightly intertwining with it. However, he didn’t expect that as soon as it touched the cork, the purple fire on the whip weakened a little. The wood could actually restrain the flame.
At this time, the burned spirit-taking vine on the ground was about to resurge. Cheng Qi used the Nether Fire Burning Life Technique. The Nether Fire on the whip was not strong but continued to grow. After a stalemate with the cork for several breaths, the Nether Fire finally covered and burned it.
When the wood cultivator saw this, his eyes widened in shock. Before he could react, he was caught by a whip and sent off the ring. Cheng Qi won this time and successfully secured a place in the secret realm.
Naturally, there were people in the arena who recognized the non-burning wood. When the wood cultivator brought it out, they thought there was still suspense in the duel, but they didn’t know the ending would be so unexpected.
“That purple fire can actually burn even non-burning wood. It’s really amazing.”
“To cultivate such a powerful fire power at the Qi condensation stage—when he builds the foundation, the flame will be even more difficult to deal with. This time, Tianfan Immortal Sect produced two top geniuses.”
“You can find out for yourself.” However, Li Tianyan still got out of bed, wearing his middle coat. He sat in front of the low table and lit a candle, casting warm light into the room.
Cheng Qi glanced at Li Tianyan strangely, then quickly stood up, put on his clothes, donned his mask, and walked over to open the door. He saw a man wearing a black robe standing outside, his face obscured by the thick hat.
“Is it Cheng Yu?” Cheng Qi asked in a low voice, sounding cautious. Cheng Yu’s appearance gave him the air of being associated with an underground organization, making him inexplicably nervous.
Cheng Yu’s anxiety melted away upon hearing Cheng Qi’s voice. He nodded and stepped into the house after Cheng Qi moved aside.
As soon as the door closed, Cheng Yu took off his hat, looked at Cheng Qi, and asked, “Do you recognize me?”
“Yes,” Cheng Qi replied, studying Cheng Yu, who bore a resemblance to himself, feeling both relieved and somewhat hesitant.
Cheng Yu wanted to say more, but upon opening his mouth, he noticed another person sitting in the room and paused abruptly. Despite the spaciousness of Cheng Qi’s room, everything inside was immediately apparent upon entering.
At that moment, both people in the room had their hair down, and Li Tianyan was casually dressed in just a single garment. There was a bed that clearly had just been slept in, providing clear evidence of their relationship. Cheng Yu couldn’t help but wonder if Cheng Qi was already involved with this man...
“What’s the matter?” Cheng Qi asked, seeing that Cheng Yu hadn’t spoken for a while.
Cheng Yu glanced toward Li Tianyan, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “I’d like to speak with you alone. Is that possible?”
Cheng Qi looked puzzled, thinking Cheng Yu was concerned about being overheard. He reassured him, “Don’t worry. This room is protected by the young master’s wards. Even an elder of Core Formation can’t eavesdrop on us. You can speak freely.”
Cheng Yu, “....”
