Chapter 122 Trying to Play the Scoundrel
Tao Tao acted extremely quickly, catching Guang Xiangyang off guard. In the blink of an eye, the double rings were already close by. He couldn't dodge in time and had no choice but to forcefully use his double hammer magic weapon to take the hit.
"Zheng..."
A dull thud rang out, and the twin rings emitted a dazzling light. They showed no sign of retreating and instead continued to advance under Tao Tao's control, forcing the twin hammers to break down and develop cracks. If this continued, his magical artifacts would probably be ruined.
The Langcui Double Rings were already of high quality, and with Tao Tao's increased strength, how could Guang Xiangyang's double hammers be of any use?
Guang Xiangyang was surprised by Tao Tao's strength. His face turned ugly. If he lost to her here, he would lose face. So, as he put away his hammer, he threw out an ice talisman in an attempt to control Tao Tao's movements.
However, he did not know that Tao Tao was practicing ice-based magic. With the Ice Lightning Sword present, the power of the mere Frost Talisman was completely absorbed as soon as it was thrown out, rendering it unable to exert any advantage.
At the same time, Tuantuan, whose soul was connected to Taotao, suddenly transmitted a message, wanting to come out. Taotao asked suspiciously, "You want to make a move?"
"Waaaaah!"
"Alright, go ahead."
After receiving Tao Tao's approval, a ball of icy blue light shot out from the pet pouch, turning into frost that instantly froze Guang Xiangyang into an ice sculpture. He didn't even have time to react.
"This……"
The others didn't see what happened either; they only knew that a ball of light passed by, and then nothing more. The Tiangang Sect disciples' faces grew increasingly grim. This was their senior brother, and he had been dealt with so easily.
"Guang Xiangyang loses." The referee's voice rang out, and the scene was filled with sighs. Everyone thought Tao Tao was bound to lose, but who knew that he would win so quickly? The key point is that Guang Xiangyang is still an ice sculpture and cannot move at all.
"Impossible! She must have used some kind of sorcery. We didn't even see what happened!" The disciples of the Tiangang Sect refused to admit defeat, mainly because they lost too quickly, giving them no chance to react. No one would want to believe it.
"Sorcery?" Tao Tao tilted her head, looking puzzled. She was a demon beast, so what if the spells she used were sorcery? Besides, who cared about that in the cultivation world?
"Stop playing innocent, you definitely have something going on!"
"But what this senior brother said is wrong. When my spirit beast attacks, it is considered a demonic technique. Is there a rule that I cannot use spirit beasts?"
Tao Tao blinked his eyes, his face full of innocence, looking extremely cute.
These words left the disciples of the Tiangang Sect speechless. To put it bluntly, their reasons were insufficient. Besides, a martial arts competition is only about winning or losing; there's no need for so many convoluted arguments.
"If you still don't admit defeat, you can continue the competition." Tao Tao's tone was arrogant. If he wanted to teach the other party a lesson, he had to make them admit defeat wholeheartedly.
"That's incredibly arrogant. Since you're so arrogant, then the three of us will attack you together!"
Unexpectedly, the other party was so shameless that it took three people to attack a little girl at the same time, which made the onlookers stand up for Tao Tao. They were the ones who started the trouble, and now they were still so shameless. No one could stand it.
The discontented voices from the audience made the three men feel guilty, but they couldn't back down now that things had come to this point. They had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to Tao Tao in a stern voice, "What, you don't dare?"
"I dare, but please show mercy, senior brothers." Tao Tao was not afraid at all. Guang Xiangyang was their senior brother, whose cultivation was above theirs. He could easily fight against him, and dealing with these three was more than enough for him.
After speaking, Tao Tao looked at the referee, cupped his hands, and said, "We can begin."
"Let's begin." The referee spoke expressionlessly. The competition was entirely free, and it was up to them to set their own rules. The referee's role was only to make judgments, and the main purpose was to prevent anyone from causing trouble maliciously.
"Tiangang Sect, Wanshan, Li Hong, Liu Zhao, please enlighten me."
The three introduced themselves, their tone extremely forceful. They were determined to defeat Tao Tao with all their might, regardless of their reputation, at least the spoils would be theirs. In the cultivation world, resources were the most important thing; what did shame matter? Once their cultivation level was high enough, no one would dare to talk about how thick-skinned they were.
"Yanhan Sect, Le Taotao." This time, Taotao was still very decisive. He made his move as soon as he finished speaking. Having learned from the previous experience, they dared not wait for Taotao to make his move. They immediately took out their defensive magic weapons and, regardless of the consequences, tried to withstand the first blow.
The combined power of the three people's defensive artifacts was naturally not to be underestimated. Crucially, during this opening, Liu Zhao secretly summoned his spirit beast, a jet-black loach that looked incredibly slippery. It suddenly darted out, intending to attack Tao Tao from behind and catch him off guard.
But before the loach could even peek out, Tuantuan swallowed it whole. Ever since Tuantuan started following Taotao, it had learned to eat anything, and even a small, low-level monster wouldn't be enough to fill its teeth.
Seeing his spirit beast swallowed whole, Liu Zhao was furious and his face turned ashen. He didn't care about anything else and stepped out of the defensive barrier. As soon as he stepped out, his back foot was frozen by frost and he couldn't move. Then, he was hit by a double ring attack. With a "clang", it hit his forehead and his soul was almost shattered.
Finally, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Liu Zhao!" Seeing Liu Zhao fall, the other two knew that defense was not enough and they had to attack. So they summoned their magical weapons and rushed towards Tao Tao. Tao Tao did not move, and a bolt of lightning struck down, hitting the two of them squarely.
Before they could even react, they collapsed to the ground, convulsing. Their hair and clothes were singed by the lightning, and a strong smell of burning filled the air.
"The duel is over, and you have all lost."
The referee glanced at Tao Tao with some surprise. It seemed that this year's batch of newcomers was quite good. They could preserve their strength while defeating their opponents in an instant. Their cultivation level was far from as low as she appeared.
but……
He tried to probe Tao Tao's cultivation level with his divine sense and found that she had not hidden anything and was indeed at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. But where would a disciple at the early stage of Foundation Establishment get such great energy?
Could she have used some powerful magic artifact to conceal her cultivation level? No, judging from her attire, she is a disciple of the Immortal Spirit Valley. Demon beasts are different from humans; one cannot judge a book by its cover.
Tao Tao didn't use his full strength, and these people would recover quickly. The ice around Guang Xiangyang gradually melted, and he came to his senses. Just as he was about to attack Tao Tao, the referee stopped him, saying, "You have already lost. As previously agreed, hand over fifty points."
"I..." Guang Xiangyang was completely bewildered. He turned around and looked at his three junior brothers on the stage. They were all in a sorry state, and he knew without a doubt what had happened.
The four of them were no match for a little girl. If word got back to their master, they'd be in deep trouble.
Besides, fifty points is not a small amount, and it's really hard to just hand it over like that.
Guang Xiangyang started acting like a scoundrel, saying to Tao Tao, "We weren't ready just now, let's try again!"
"What do you think this martial arts tournament is for? To let you do whatever you want?" The referee's expression changed, and he struck out with an unusually powerful palm, knocking all four of them to the ground. At the same time, he took out their score cards, first handing fifty points to Tao Tao, then glancing at them and coldly saying, "Breaking the rules of the competition, another fifty points will be deducted."
After saying that, he took fifty points from them, tossed the points card to them, and returned to his seat without saying another word.
