"Is there such a thing?" Hua Xing said incredulously, "but why did he do this? It was in front of the emperor, if it was revealed, he himself would be beheaded." ”

"Brother Hua, you don't know this person. This man is ruthless, bold, and will do anything. An emperor of Tianyun County is not enough for him to be afraid.

I think there are two reasons why he did that. The first is to get rid of a competitor, he secretly poisoned Brother Li's hand to tremble and break the crystal cup, so that he could borrow the emperor's hand to get rid of Brother Li. In fact, the situation did develop as he had envisioned, if it weren't for the intervention of the Seventh Princess.

The second reason is to get revenge on me. I have known him before, fought many times, and formed a deep grudge. He knew that Brother Li was my friend, so he wanted to harm Brother Li. ”

Wu Song frowned.

"I didn't expect this person to be so insidious, and he almost fell into his way. Li Tian said with palpitations, and while he was jealous of Yan Zhan, he was also very grateful to the Seventh Princess.

"In short, two brothers, in the next competition, I am afraid that you will fight against this person, and you must be extremely careful when the time comes. If it really doesn't work, take the initiative to abstain. Wu Song looked at Hua Xing and Li Tiandao.

"Abstaining!?" Hua Xing said.

"Yes, I know that the two brothers must not be convinced. But listening to my brother's words, Yan Zhan's cultivation is extremely high and scheming, you are really not his opponent. I'm really afraid that something will happen to you.

Although the abstention was gloomy, at least his life was saved. As long as we are still alive, we will have a chance to get this breath back. Wu Song said sincerely.

Hua Xing and Li Tian glanced at each other and were silent for a long time, and finally both of them nodded and agreed to Wu Song.

The two had to admit that what Wu Song said was right, in the previous encounter in the valley, they could see that Yan Zhan's cultivation was above them, if it wasn't for Wu Song, they would have died in the valley at this moment.

"In addition, there is one more thing," Wu Song frowned, "Brother Hua, have you noticed that guard beside the emperor?"

"Which guard?" Hua Xing wondered, "There are several guards around the emperor. ”

"The one on the right, the closest to the emperor, I always felt that he was one of the guards who searched the gate for passers-by when we entered the city. Wu Song said.

Hua Xing lowered his head and thought for a long time, then hesitated, "Brother Wu, I really didn't notice who the emperor's guards were before, and to be honest, I forgot what the guards who searched us when we entered the city. ”

"It's okay, I'm just a little skeptical. Wu Song said.

The three of them returned to the inn and ate in the hall, after which they went back to their rooms to rest. Tomorrow is the quarter-finals and they need a good rest.

Wu Song was lying on the bed, and the figure of the guard kept circling in his mind.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the guard looked familiar, very much like one of the soldiers who were checking the pedestrians at the city gate.

At that time, he and Hua Xing entered the city together, and he passed through the city gate first, and then Hua Xing came in and told Wu Song that one of the guards who were checking them seemed to have bad intentions towards Wu Song, and asked Wu Song to pay more attention.

After Wu Song listened to Hua Xing's words, he turned his head to look at the pair of soldiers twice, so he remembered their appearance very clearly.

At that time, Wu Song speculated based on Hua Xing's words that the pair of guards were interested in his Dragon Eclipse Sword, and in the capital of Tianyun County, those who could communicate with the soldiers defending the city must be powerful people.

At that time, Wu Song guessed several masterminds behind the scenes, one of which was Yan Zhan. He is a person from the capital of Tianyun County, his cultivation is profound, he is the leader of the young generation, and he is thoughtful, so he will inevitably make friends with powerful people.

Yan Zhan had always wanted to take back the Dragon Eclipse Sword from Wu Song, so he also had a motive.

If the person behind that soldier was Yan Zhan, then this matter would not be simple. That soldier was not only a soldier defending the city, but also a personal guard by the emperor's side.

Such an important figure should have been left alone and not joined any party or faction. Because he is concerned about the emperor's safety, he should remain neutral. And if you join any party, you may do things that are not good for the emperor for the sake of profit.

But now this guard is in the same group as Yan Zhan.

So what does this mean?

Wu Song's mind swirled with this question, and there was no answer.

The next day, the eight of them came to the Fun Garden.

The rules of this competition have been made very clear yesterday, that is, eight people will draw lots, fight in pairs, and the losers will be eliminated to determine the top four.

Four monks stood in front, and in front of them was a wooden box containing eight notes. Among them, there are four slips of paper with the word "sky" written on them, and four slips of paper with the word "ground" written on them.

Whoever wins the same kind of note is a rival.

The eight people went up to draw lots in turn, and when it was Wu Song's turn, he put his hand into the wooden box and drew one at random.

Wu Song unfolded the note and saw that he was a celestial character.

At the end of the draw, among Wu Song, Huaxing and Li Tian, only Wu Song is a heavenly character. Seeing this result, Wu Song and the three of them all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They are all brothers, and neither of them will want to play against anyone else in the quarterfinals, because then one of them will inevitably be eliminated.

With the current result, then at least Wu Song doesn't have to fight against the other two.

Those who drew the Tianzi note were Wu Song, Chen He, Jiao Yu and Yan Zhan. Wu Song glanced at Yan Zhan, and the other party also glanced at Wu Song, his eyes were cold. Wu Song said in his heart, it is best to fight against Yan Zhan, so that he can defeat Yan Zhan and let him withdraw in advance.

In that way, in the battle of the top four, he would not encounter Hua Xing and Li Tian, and the other two would not be in danger.

The person who draws the same note will be drawn again. On the sign this time, there are still two heavenly characters and two ground characters. The person who draws the same kind of note is the opponent.

After drawing lots, Wu Song's signature is Tianzi. And the same as Wu Song's signature is a player named Chen He. Yan Zhan's player is Jiao Yu.

Wu Song secretly said that it was a pity, needless to say, Yan Zhan would definitely win.

The results of the draw for the other side also came out, and the results were in favor of Wu Song's side. Hua Xing's opponent is Cangwu, and Li Tian's opponent is a player named Cheng Wei.

Hua Xing and Li Tian are not opponents, which is good news for the three of them.

So optimistically, the top four should be Wu Song, Hua Xing, Li Tian and Yan Zhan.

After the draw, the contestants rested for half an hour, and then the first round of the competition began.

Eight contestants were divided into four groups to compete, with two groups in the morning and two groups in the afternoon. The two groups of competitions in the morning were Wu Song vs. Chen He, and Hua Xing vs. Cangwu.

Wu Song and the three gathered under a tree, and in Wu Song's prediction, there was no suspense about the outcome of the quarterfinals.

But Hua Xing said to Wu Song, "Brother Wu, you have to be careful of that player named Chen He." ”

There was a lot of worry in his tone, which made Wu Song feel a little surprised.

"What? Is Chen He very powerful?" Wu Song said.

"It's okay to say it's powerful, but I think it's more appropriate to be weird, his exercises are very weird. Hua Xing said.

"What do you say, have you ever seen him perform exercises?" Wu Song said.

"In the first round of the registration competition, I accidentally saw him make a move, when he was taking on a challenge from someone else. Hua Xing said.

"Then what is his technique?" Wu Song said.

"I don't know, I saw him make a move, but he used the opponent's exercises, exactly the same, whatever move the opponent used, he used whatever move, and he used it better than the opponent.

It's like a master and apprentice, I've never seen such an exercise. Hua Xing said, with an incredible look on his face.

"Oh, that's right. Wu Song nodded and groaned.

"In short, Brother Wu, you must be careful. Hua Xing said.

Half an hour was fast coming, and then the competition began.

Wu Song and Chen He were the first group of contestants, and the two got up and stepped into the ring.

Under the ring, there were four monks, and no other contestants were allowed to watch the battle. Because the winner will enter the semi-finals, then there will be someone among the other players who will fight against him, and if the other players watch the battle at this time, then they will have a certain understanding of the winner's exercises.

When the time comes, there will be defense, which is not fair to the winner.

Wu Song and Chen He bowed to each other, and then a monk sounded the gong and drum to announce the official start of the competition.

Chen He looked to be only seventeen years old, tall, slender, with a white face and beard, and looked quite elegant.

After the start of the competition, neither man rushed to attack, but observed his opponent's position.

After a while, Wu Song saw that the other party did not act, and took the lead in making a move.

He launched the Celestial Elephant Fist, injected tens of thousands of catties of strength into his two arms, jumped up, and attacked Chen He.

Chen He retreated and retreated, retreating a few meters away, widening the distance between him and Wu Song.

Wu Song jumped forward, rushed to Chen He's face, picked up his right fist, and hit him. This time, Chen He did not dodge and was hit by Wu Songjie firmly.

Wu Song felt that it was just a competition, not a battle of life and death, and he was worried about hurting the opponent, so he didn't use all his strength, and only used fifty percent of his strength. On one fist, there are only five or six thousand catties of strength.

Wu Song expected that if this punch continued, Chen He would be knocked away by himself and fall out of the ring, and the competition would end here.

Who knows, Wu Song punched Chen He, and it felt like he was hit in the sea, and there was no place to focus. Thousands of catties of strength seemed to enter the void in an instant.

Chen He stood firmly in place, nothing at all.

Wu Song was slightly surprised, and said in his heart that this person was really not simple.

Chen He took a punch from Wu Song, and then retreated again. He retreated twice in a row, and had retreated to the edge of the ring, with no way out.

When others saw this situation, they must have thought that Chen He had no power to fight back and had fallen into a disadvantage.

However, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen He's mouth.

Wu Song clenched his fist, and this time the strength of his fist increased to eight thousand catties. He jumped to his feet and smashed a fist into Chen He.
