Chapter 277: Retreat
Li Cheng looked at the scene in front of him and knew that these people couldn't stop for a while, so he asked: "Sect Master Bai, this assessment can't just be time, if that's the case, wouldn't these people here have to stay." ”
The Sect Master of the Imperial King Sect glanced at Li Cheng and said, "Of course it can't be so simple, the people who came on time just have the qualifications for the third assessment." ”
Qiu Shaoyu saw the stitches and said, "Then what is the main content of this assessment, or is it related to something?"
Hearing this question, everyone who was still arguing on the side quieted down, and the Imperial Sect Master replied: "In this assessment, we have temporarily changed the rules, not allowing the use of any Xuan power, purely fighting by force, and the winner will be selected." ”
After listening to the assessment method this time, everyone was a little unable to react, after all, they have always respected Xuanli here.
The Sect Master of the Imperial King Sect obviously saw their doubts and explained: "We have indeed always respected Xuanli here, but I closed it once a few days ago, and suddenly I had an epiphany. ”
The Sect Master of the Imperial King Sect looked at the people below, and then said: "And one of them has a higher force, and the other has no power to restrain the chicken, so how can you guess the result of this contest, I don't want our Imperial King Sect to have such a situation, I don't want your strength to be as prominent as Xuan Li, at least you can't hold back, so there will be this assessment." ”
After listening to the words of the Sect Master of the Imperial King Sect, everyone discussed it one after another.
Everyone's opinions are different, some agree and some disagree, but this time, the third assessment method of the Imperial Sect was discussed by all the high-level officials, and it is impossible for them to change because of their individual opinions.
Immediately afterwards, the Sect Master of the Imperial King Sect announced: "And in the third assessment this time, all the participants must sign a life and death certificate, life and death are fate, no matter what accidents occur, the Imperial King Sect is not responsible, if it can't be done, we also allow someone to withdraw from this assessment in advance." ”
Originally, everyone came to participate in the assessment of the Imperial King Sect, and they all came to admire it, of course, there were also people like Li Cheng, just to become stronger, but after all, they were in the minority, after listening to such an assessment, and signing a life and death certificate, many people retreated.
But no one said in advance that they wanted to leave, after all, retreating now is also a sign of cowardice, and no one wants to admit that they are inferior to others, until the sect master of the Imperial King Sect let people light a stick of incense, and said: "After a stick of incense, officially start preparing for the third assessment, and everyone present at that time must participate in the assessment except for the disciples of the Royal King Sect." ”
As soon as these words came out, many people rushed to say that they wanted to quit. All of a sudden, there were nearly half of them.
Xu Yu's strength is not very good, but she doesn't want to leave here, and wants to accompany Li Cheng to conduct the assessment together.
Li Cheng was afraid that something would happen to Xu Yu, so he persuaded him: "Xu Yu, either you should withdraw from this assessment first, after all, if you use force to assess, you may be more dangerous, there is no need to put yourself in danger because of one time." ”
Xu Yu was a little unwilling, and said to Li Cheng: "But I want to stay here to accompany you to participate in the assessment, maybe I won't meet any strong opponents?"
Although Li Cheng was a little happy when he heard that Xu Yu wanted to accompany him here, he didn't allow Xu Yu to joke with his safety, so he said to Xu Yu with a cold face: "Where is there such good luck, haven't you seen how many people left just now?
Xu Yu was still a little unwilling, and said weakly: "How do you know that I am unlucky, in case it is so coincidental, besides, don't you want me to accompany you?"
Li Cheng was a little helpless about Xu Yu's attitude, but he still persuaded very patiently: "I didn't want you to accompany me, but this time it's really dangerous, and I don't want anything to happen to you, you think I'm inconsiderate of you, can you also be considerate of me?"
Originally, this was nothing, just a few ordinary words of persuasion, but somehow, Xu Yu's emotions were a little wrong when he heard these words, and he said to Li Cheng very indifferently: "I must participate in this assessment, I am responsible for what happens, you don't have to worry about me, so it's okay, right?"
Qiu Shaoyu, who was watching the excitement on the side, still couldn't react, even he could hear it, Li Cheng didn't want Xu Yu to have any accidents, how could Xu Yu not hear it, why would he say such a thing?
But now is not the time to think about this, seeing that Xu Yu turned around and was about to leave, Qiu Shaoyu hurriedly reached out and tugged on Xu Yu's sleeve.
Xu Yu turned his head and looked at Qiu Shaoyu coldly, and asked, "What are you dragging me for, go to your brother Li, don't touch me!"
Qiu Shaoyu was taken aback by Xu Yu's eyes, but he still firmly tugged on Xu Yu's sleeve and said: "Xu Yu, I can see as a bystander, Brother Li doesn't want you to be in any danger, I don't believe that you can't feel Brother Li's concern for you, I don't know what's wrong with you, but I ask you to think about it rationally, okay?"
Obviously, Qiu Shaoyu's words had an effect, Xu Yu's eyes softened, there was a trace of sadness in his tone, and he said to Qiu Shaoyu: "Then am I wrong? Even though I know that my life is in danger, I still want to accompany him here, but he blindly drives me away, I really don't know what he wants, I'm tired." ”
Since the movement on their side is really a bit big, there are more and more people watching the excitement, and even several elders of the Imperial King Sect are frequently looking here.
Li Cheng obviously heard what Xu Yu said just now, he really didn't think about it so much at first, he just didn't want Xu Yu to have an accident, but looking at the current situation, Xu Yu seemed to have misunderstood something.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng hurriedly grabbed Xu Yu and motioned to Qiu Shaoyu to let go of the hand that was holding Xu Yu's sleeve, Qiu Shaoyu saw Li Cheng's eyes and quickly let go of his hand.
Xu Yu saw Li Cheng holding him, and he didn't look up at Li Cheng, but just looked coldly at Li Cheng holding his hand.
Li Cheng noticed that Xu Yu's expression was different, and quickly explained: "Yu'er, you believe me, it's really just because this assessment is too dangerous, I don't want you to have an accident, so I want you to go back, I didn't want to push you away, don't misunderstand!"
Xu Yu listened to Li Cheng's explanation, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then almost couldn't stand on her feet, she really thought that Li Cheng didn't want to pay attention to her just now, and disliked her, and under her grief, she almost held her breath and didn't let go.
Li Chengkai Xu Yu's state was a little wrong, so he quickly reached out and hugged her, and at the same time yelled at those who were watching the excitement next to him: "What kind of excitement are you watching, the assessment will start soon, you don't go over to prepare!"
So there is a saying that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and after Li Cheng finished yelling, someone next to him actually responded: "Young man, it's not right for you to say that, you are not much better than us? ”
What's even more terrifying is that after that person finished speaking, there were still people around who echoed him. "Speaking of which, young man, don't you want to be assessed? Then you can leave with this beauty. ”
"If you don't take the assessment, don't occupy a place here, otherwise if you get hurt again, what will you do with this girl in your arms?"
Li Cheng still hugged Xu Yu with one hand, and with the other hand, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed at the person who spoke at the beginning: "Give you two choices, either leave or stay here, forever!"
Although that person loves to coax, he still has a sense of proportion in his heart, and he was a little panicked when he looked at the situation in front of him, but he still bluffed and said: "I don't see it, young man, you are quite temperamental, didn't you just say a few words about you, it's a big deal not to talk about you?"
Li Cheng was not willing to give up, the long sword in his hand was almost out of his hand, but fortunately, Xu Yu stretched out his hand in time to stop him, and said: "Li Cheng, don't be impulsive, the assessment hasn't started yet, we can't make any trouble, otherwise even if you pass the assessment, you won't have a good life in the Imperial Palace." ”
Li Cheng saw that Xu Yu was still thinking about himself at this time, and he began to regret his attitude just now, so he put away the long sword in his hand and looked at Xu Yu quietly.
Xu Yu was a little embarrassed under Li Cheng's gaze, gently pushed Li Cheng, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Cheng smiled wickedly and said: "It's not much, it's just that I suddenly found out how my Yu'er is so good, I must take a good look at you, otherwise if you leave with someone else, I will be miserable." ”
Xu Yu's face was red, like an apple, he lowered his head shyly, and he didn't dare to speak, but he still asked, "Are you still insisting on letting me leave now?"
Li Cheng shook his head and said, "No, I know your intentions very well now, if you insist on staying, I will only do my best to protect you, so even in such a dangerous situation, are you still willing to stay by my side all the time?"
Although Xu Yu was embarrassed, he still nodded very firmly and replied, "Yes, no matter what, I have to stay by your side, don't want to drive me away." ”
With a gentle smile in his eyes, Li Cheng said, "You are such a good person, how can I be willing to drive you away? ”
The two of them were still there greasy and crooked, and the Sect Master of the Imperial King Sect suddenly spoke, announcing: "Everyone, the time for a stick of incense has passed, and those who are still sure to participate in the assessment now, please come and sign the life and death certificate here, after signing, life and death are fateful, and if anything happens in the assessment, the Imperial King Sect is not responsible." ”
After listening to Sect Master Bai's words, Li Cheng took the lead in stepping forward and signed his name on the life and death certificate, Qiu Shaoyu also followed Li Cheng and signed his name, Xu Yu actually reached a consensus with Li Cheng before, and naturally he would not lag behind, at the same time as Qiu Shaoyu signed his name, Xu Yu picked up the pen on the side.
Then, dozens of people signed their names on the life and death certificates.
After the life and death certificate was signed, Sect Master Bai announced the start of the assessment, and several elders were the referees, and a total of five rings were met, and the competition was divided into separate competitions, so that the efficiency was faster and there was no waste of time.
After arranging the ring, there are several elders who began to make lots, and the competition is to draw lots first, and then the first and last number, the second and the penultimate number duel, in order to the bottom row, if there is an odd number at the end, the lottery will be drawn to determine who can be directly promoted.
After the rules are announced, the people who participate in the assessment will start to draw lots, but after the lottery, they will not be announced first, just waiting for the referee to call someone, and he will call which number to play on the stage.
After the first start, Li Cheng didn't know the other people in the ring, but Xu Yu was drawn in the No. 3 ring, and Li Cheng and Qiu Shaoyu hadn't been called yet, so the two of them were under the No. 3 ring, watching Xu Yu's game, and they were afraid that Xu Yu would have an accident.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yu's luck was really surprisingly good, this time the opponent was a person who was very pitiful and cherished jade, and after he came to power, he said directly to Xu Yu: "You are surnamed Xu, right?"
