Chapter 187: The Battle Between Buddhism and Daoism… Bumping into Everything Will Only Hurt Yourself, Hey!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The cliff was enveloped in thick fog.
Each team maneuvered their chariots, either flying or climbing.
The Five Elements spiritual fruits grew about a hundred meters above the ground.
The Dragon Palace team’s flying boat rose quickly, approaching the area where the Five Elements fruits grew.
Ao Yuan piloted the vehicle, while Ao Sheng opened the top of the chariot and leaped out of the Ice Dragon chariot.
Standing atop the chariot, he was surrounded by dense fog that concealed the cultivator’s senses.
To his left, on a thick vine, grew a bright red fruit, the score-granting spiritual fruit of this obstacle.
Ao Sheng was delighted and was about to reach out to pick the fruit.
It’s worth mentioning that although there was no no-fly restriction in this obstacle, this rule applied to the participants as well.
The contestants were not allowed to fly themselves, and activities like picking fruits or fighting had to be done “with feet on the ground,” which meant on their chariots.
“Move a bit closer to the left…
Ao Sheng communicated to his sister.
Ao Yuan’s driving skills were excellent, and she controlled the flying boat according to her brother’s instructions.
Just as they were about to reach the spiritual fruit.
A red spike tore through the fog, stabbing towards Ao Sheng’s hand.
Shocked, Ao Sheng instinctively stepped back, withdrawing his hand.
The spike was a sharp insect leg, belonging to a mechanical centipede.
Looking up, Ao Sheng saw Nalan Yu in her gold-lined white phoenix palace attire, standing coldly on the head of the mechanical centipede, looking down at him.
She was slightly higher than Ao Sheng, giving her a somewhat condescending posture.
Nalan Yu bent down and picked the Five Elements fruit right in front of him, placing it in a special container.
Ao Sheng knew she was retaliating for the previous iron chain bridge obstacle where he had outmaneuvered her.
He didn’t want to conflict with Nalan Yu right now; securing more spiritual fruits was the priority. Engaging in combat rashly would only benefit the other teams.
Ao Sheng estimated that, considering the distribution and density of the fruits. He needed to obtain at least fifty fruits to stay competitive and eighty to rank among the top contestants. “Stay away from her.”
Ao Sheng advised.
Ao Yuan complied, and the Ice Dragon chariot moved away from the area.
After a short time.
Ao Sheng was lucky, finding more fruits along the Five Elements vine.
This time he discovered two fruits at once.
“Let’s go over there,”
He said.
The Ice Dragon chariot hovered, approaching the area with the fruits.
But to Ao Sheng’s surprise, before he could get close to the vine, a pair of white jade hands extended from the fog, picking the two fruits.
Nalan Yu, without a word, collected the fruits.
“Isn’t fellow Daoist being a bit too much?” Ao Sheng was somewhat angered.
This was the second time.
Who always targets just one sheep for its wool?!
Nalan Yu didn’t respond to him.
She had a wooden sword in her hand.
Treasures belong to those with virtue, not just to whoever sees them first.
Why should she give up something she obtained with her own abilities?
Ao Sheng clenched his teeth, not saying much, and also took out a spirit wooden sword from his storage magic item.
This was a special combat magic item provided by the competition committee.
Ordinary opportunities were one thing.
But the Five Elements spiritual fruit meant extra points.
It was about whether he could make it into the top three and receive a personal award from the Empress of the Shattered Cloud City. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Ao Sheng was unyielding.
Nalan Yu raised her sword, pointing it at Ao Sheng.
Her intention was clear.
She didn’t care; her mechanical centipede was being piloted by one of her maids, giving Nalan Yu ample room to fight.
Ao Sheng’s expression turned cold, and he advanced with his sword!
On the cliff, similar scenarios played out everywhere.
Opponents engaged in battle within seconds of encountering each other, all for the Five Elements spiritual fruits.
On the Buddhist-Daoist side.
“Chen Xiangzi, isn’t your sect bullying a bit too much?”
A monk in a bright yellow robe on the giant wooden fish chanted a Buddhist mantra.
“Yuan Qing, you always talk nonsense,”The Daoist in a dark yellow robe stood on the ox cart, calm.
“Didn’t you see who started it?”
The two, dressed like a couple, stood together.
“Are you not willing to talk?” The monk asked.
“There’s nothing to talk about.’
The Daoist replied, “Let’s see the truth under our hands.”
Both moved simultaneously, stepping forward and wielding their wooden swords, slashing at each other.
The Buddhist sword style was heavy, while the Daoist swordplay was agile, each having its own merits.
They exchanged moves, fighting dozens of rounds without a clear victor.
Both knew their strengths were evenly matched.
Now bound by the rules of the competition and limited to using spirit wooden swords, neither could gain the upper hand.
However, neither was willing to give up.
The monk in bright yellow garb’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. freewebno vel.com
The Daoist in dark yellow showed a hint of coldness. Both reached for the spiritual fruit simultaneously.
“Bang!”
On the cliff, the fog exploded, and the Five Elements spiritual fruit fell from the vine, flying into the sky.
The monk named Yuan Qing was about to capture the fruit when Chen Xiangzi slashed at him with his sword.
The force of the sword was heavy, and they were too close to avoid it.
Reluctantly, Yuan Qing gripped his sword with both hands to block.
The two wooden swords intersected, forming an “X” shape. At that moment, the spiritual fruit fell from the sky..
