Chapter 166: Top Ten
On the third day of the martial arts competition, it was also the most critical day of the competition, and the liveliness of the scene also reached its peak, many outer disciples and even supernumerary disciples came to watch the battle, and even some retreat martial artists specially broke through the barrier for this.
Ten contestants stood on the central fighting platform, receiving the attention of the vast number of spectators, and each of them had a proud and excited look on their faces.
Among them, Zhan Chen is particularly eye-catching, because he is the only ordinary martial artist among the top ten players, the last time an ordinary martial artist fought into the top ten, it was 18 years ago, after six sessions, he was born again, which gave great encouragement to the ordinary martial artists who were increasingly marginalized.
Although the ordinary warriors in the audience were only a few of the few, their hearts were very united, and they worked hard to wave their flags and shout for Zhan Chen, and for a while, they also formed a wave of cheering, but formed a trend off the field.
provoked some other martial artists to look at this young ordinary martial artist, their faces more or less showed jealousy and contempt, and for a while, Zhan Chen became the target of everyone.
A demon cultivator standing beside him even whispered in his ear arrogantly: "You are Zhan Chen, you are just an ordinary martial artist, you will pay attention to me later, and pray to the heavens not to run into me Qi Peng, otherwise I want you to look good!"
Zhan Chen glanced at Qi Peng coldly, and responded: "I should say this to you, what I want to win is the championship, and no one can stop me from moving forward." ”
"Okay! wait for the game to start, see if you are still hard-mouthed!" Qi Peng said fiercely.
At this moment, there was a noise from the mountain, which caused everyone to look up, but they saw a group of people walking down the mountain, their eyes were sharp, and the demonic flames were surging, obviously cultivating well.
Especially the old man at the head, his hair was half black and half white, his pupils were gray-black, and there was an air of dead silence.
With him, they all had a feeling that their souls were about to be sucked in by the darkness in their pupils, and they all subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look at his face again.
At this time, I heard someone in the audience shouting: "This is Elder Wang Muxie, the dignified Martial Emperor Great Perfection powerhouse, and the deputy peak master of Xuanming Peak!"
As soon as they heard that the deputy peak master of Xuanming Peak was coming, everyone looked sideways, and heard that this strong man had been in the Martial Emperor Great Perfection Realm for a long time, and he could step into the Martial Saint Realm at any time, and then the Demon Luo Sect would have one more Great Elder.
Elder Wang Muxie and his entourage came to the rostrum next to the Douwu platform and sat down. At this time, I heard the elders shouting loudly: "Disciples, listen to the order, salute Elder Wang!"
"Meet Elder Wang!" everyone knelt down in the direction of the rostrum.
Wang Muxie stood up and began to speak: "Everyone get up!" The sound was like a flood of bells and loud Lu, spreading to every corner.
Everyone stood up, looked at him with more adoration, and listened to what he had to say.
Sure enough, he continued, "Today, I am here to represent our Yin Sect Master. Sect Master Yin has always attached great importance to the cultivation of outer disciples, he said, outer disciples are the strong foundation of our sect, so I boldly make a decision on behalf of the sect, the disciple who can win the first place in this martial arts competition will be promoted to our inner sect exceptionally, and the sect will also provide him with the best cultivation conditions, the best elixir, to help him break through the realm of the Martial King as soon as possible!"
Then he looked at the top ten outer disciples on the stage and said, "You are all the strongest ones left after the layers of screening in this martial arts competition. In the next game, you should give full play to your strength, don't worry about your life, and try to fight for the opportunity to go straight to the inside goal. ”
"Thank you, Elder, for your support!" all 10 people on the fighting platform said loudly.
Zhan Chen's heart was even more excited, and he confirmed the important information that the winner of the martial arts competition could enter the inner door.
After Wang Muxie finished speaking, he stayed to watch the game in person, and at this time, the elder who acted as the referee walked to the stage and took out the lottery box for everyone to draw numbers.
Zhan Chen drew a number of 6, and then the number cards on the sidelines began to flip rapidly, and finally stopped on No. 2 vs. 5, so No. 2 and No. 5 stayed, and Zhan Chen watched the game with the others.
The two of them, one named Li Ying and the other named Xia Bin, launched a fierce confrontation as soon as they came up, and they both took out the means of pressing the box, swallowed the pill that stimulated the body, and also used the secret method, so the winner was decided in only 15 minutes after the start of the game. In the end, Xia Bin had a slight advantage and slashed Li Ying in the shoulder, seriously injuring him.
Just as Xia Bin wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the opponent died, the elder standing on the side quickly inserted himself between them and stopped the game.
"Sure enough, you don't have to worry about life and death, it seems that the Demon Luo Sect will only care about potential disciples. Zhan Chen looked at all this happening on the field and thought silently.
As soon as the first game ended, the numbers on the number board began to flip again, and finally stopped at No. 6 vs. No. 8.
Is it finally my turn? Zhan Chen strode up to the fighting platform, looked down the stage, and wanted to know who his opponent was, but a familiar figure came to the stage, it was Qi Peng, it was really a bad way!, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Qi Peng came to the stage, with a little pity on his face, and said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, it's a pity that I can't kill you, but don't worry, I will 'love' you well!"
Zhan Chen naturally understood the meaning of the word "love" in his mouth, and sneered: "I will give you this sentence again!"
Qi Peng on the opposite side also took out his weapon, it was a long knife with jagged teeth on the edge, it looked extremely hideous, if it was slashed, the consequences could be imagined, its sharp teeth would definitely bite off a large piece of flesh and blood of the victim!
"Game on!"
As the elder gave an order, Qi Peng rushed towards Zhan Chen, raised his knife and slashed, shouting in his mouth: "Blood Wolf Knife Technique!"
Zhan Chen saw that the speed of his sword was not much faster than that of the same level, so he wanted to flash sideways, but Qi Peng's knife suddenly accelerated halfway through.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Zhan Chen had no choice but to raise his sword to stop him, only to hear the sound of "Boom!", and the two weapons collided together.
At this time, he saw Qi Peng smiling strangely at himself, and his heart was suddenly vigilant, and he saw that as soon as the opponent's wrist sank, there was a great drag force on the sword, and Zhan Chen almost couldn't grasp the sword.
It turned out that the Chang Gung sword was stuck in the serrated teeth on the knife, and Qi Peng took advantage of this.
"Hmph!" Zhan Chen snorted coldly, and with a flick of his wrist, a crisp sword sound sounded from the Chang Geng sword, and above the blade, the sword qi burst out, flicking the long knife away in one fell swoop.
Qi Peng wanted to get an inch, and tore off a piece of flesh and blood on his shoulder, but he didn't know that Yuan Changgeng's sword suddenly had a vision, so he had to take advantage of the situation and jump away, staring at the sword in Zhan Chen's hand, licking his lips, and shouting good sword!
"Golden Light Sword!" Zhan Chen didn't give him a chance to breathe, and he advanced to attack, and his sword speed surpassed Qi Peng's.
In the face of Zhan Chen's aggressiveness, Qi Peng actually smiled and used the Blood Wolf Sword Technique to attack him.
"Ding Ding Ding!" A series of sword collisions resounded throughout the audience, and even a strong storm of sword qi blew around the two of them, causing the surrounding hard floor to sizzle.
Zhan Chen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but the advantage of his swordsmanship did not turn into victory, but because of the influence of Qi Peng's knife jagged, he was constrained everywhere.
On the contrary, it was Qi Peng's Blood Wolf Sword Technique, which was the last to come first, which made him frequently in danger, and it was obvious that he was already very familiar with the characteristics of his weapon.
Several times he had to use the Dao Eye to dodge, and couldn't help but think: "It's not a way to go on like this, it seems that you have to expose some hole cards." ”
So he deliberately sold a flaw in the countermove, and his sword was a beat slower. Sure enough, Qi Peng showed a hideous smile when he saw this, and said in ecstasy: "It's done!" A knife slashed out and slashed at Zhan Chen's left shoulder.
He seemed to have seen Zhan Chen's blood directly, but his smile immediately froze, because he wondered why Zhan Chen's body was so hard, his own knife cut through his clothes, but it could no longer cut into his flesh, as if it had touched a hard steel plate.
Qi Peng thought that his strength had been lightened, and he added a little more force to his hand, but he still couldn't make an inch. Only then did he notice that Zhan Chen's eyes staring at him were so calm, as if he had expected this to happen, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, at this time, Zhan Chen's thunder attacked, and his backhand sword slashed heavily at him.
"Ahh
Zhan Chen saw that he had succeeded in the blow, and immediately stepped forward again, and stabbed him in the heart with a sword, just when the tip of the sword was about to touch his clothes, he was firmly clamped by two fingers, and when he looked at it, it was the elder who acted as the referee who made a move.
The elder glanced at Zhan Chen deeply, Zhan Chen had no choice but to withdraw his sword stupidly, and admired the strength of the Martial Emperor's powerhouse in his heart, when the other party came to him, he was unconscious.
"Victory in the morning!" the elder announced loudly.
The defeated Qi Peng glanced at Zhan Chen resentfully, and staggered off the fighting platform. 、
At this point, Zhan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and he took another step closer to the championship.
At this time, Wang Muxie on the stage looked at the elder who was still on the fighting platform, and the elder seemed to feel his gaze, and was stunned for a moment, then left the stage and walked in the direction of the rostrum.
Everyone didn't understand what was going on, and they all looked at the rostrum in surprise, but when they saw Wang Muxie saying a few words in the elder's ear, the elder nodded, returned to the fighting platform, and said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, you have to compete again later to enter the semi-finals!"
Zhan Chen was stunned and said, "Why?"
"Because after the first round of the Top 10 Tournament, five people were eliminated, and there was one more person in a two-on-two duel, so you had to play against the winner of one of the other four groups. ”
"Why me?"
"In the past, it was decided by lottery, but this time it was Elder Wang's decision, he said that you are an ordinary martial artist, and our sect respects demon cultivators, this is an additional test for you!"
Zhan Chen felt unfair in his heart and wanted to argue, but he gave up when the words came to his lips, and snorted coldly in his heart: "That's it, no matter what I say, I'm afraid it's useless, as long as you keep winning!"
He had thoroughly seen through the essence of the Demon Luo Sect, which was to do everything possible to prevent ordinary martial artists from entering their core.
