Group IV.

Gu Mingxu has been fighting in the field.

As the high-profile prince of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, he has received various professional martial arts training since he was a child, and the supply of resources he can enjoy is far beyond ordinary people. In such a ring, he fought like a fish in water and was radiant.

Everything was progressing in an orderly manner. At this moment, Gu Mingxu was dealing with the entanglement of several enemies around him with one enemy and three enemies, and he always urged his spiritual power just right. Just as he was gradually controlling the victory and was about to divide the victory with one move, a slight tingling sensation suddenly came from his right arm.

The pain was faint at first, like a mosquito bite. But soon, a sharp and fiery pain struck the wound, like cutting the flesh inch by inch with a sharp blade. Gu Mingxu's eyes were full of flowers, and immediately after, he felt that the wound was itchy and unbearable, as if even the blood was completely frozen. This feeling...... It's yourself who has been poisoned!

Originally, there were no rules in the ring, and the use of poison was not a violation, and among the candidates who participated in the competition, there were a large number of poison professionals. But this time the poison ...... Judging from the rapidly dissipating consciousness and the sharp pain of the wound, it is clear that it is a poison that seals the throat when it sees blood, and it is rushing for his life as soon as he makes a move!

Through the blurred vision, Gu Mingxu vaguely saw that a figure quickly squeezed into the crowd and blended into the chaotic players. He only had time to capture a hazy back, and he didn't know anything about any of the other party's characteristics, even tall, short, fat, thin, etc.

The few enemies around him didn't know the drastic changes that had taken place in this short moment, they just saw Gu Mingxu's movements suddenly become sluggish, only when he had exhausted his spiritual power after a series of hard fights, their eyes lit up, and they raised their blades to attack.

I can't go on with them anymore...... Gu Mingxu struggled to run his stiff consciousness. Now he needs to find a quiet place as soon as possible to use his skills to expel drugs...... If you use your spiritual power again, the poison will only attack faster. Wait until the toxin does spread into the bloodstream throughout the body...... He's going to die!

Who ...... to assassinate himself in this way, or in the ring of Tiangongmen?

As a prince, there are indeed many pairs of watching eyes around him. But for a while, it was difficult for Gu Mingxu to lock the object of suspicion. He could only risk the poison attacking his heart, forcibly lifting his spiritual power once, his body turned sharply, and his palms slapped out, dissolving a vortex of energy, and knocking these people to the ground together. After making sure that they were no longer capable of fighting, he limped out of the battle circle in search of a safe place.

On the way, he also examined his wounds. An inch-long cut was cut on his right arm, and the blood oozing out was completely black, and under the rendering of a large number of blood stains, it also made a wound that was not very deep look extremely hideous and terrifying.

It seems that this wound must have been caused by an extremely thin sharp blade, and on the blade, it was quenched with deadly poison!

After walking out of the crowd with difficulty, Gu Mingxu staggered and sat on the ground. With a throw of his hand, a spiritual treasure flew into the air, spreading out layers of tower-like golden halos, enveloping his entire person, temporarily isolating the intrusion of the outside world.

It's not that Gu Mingxu wants to lose his ranking, it's just that the area where he was before happened to be in the center of the ring. There are enemies on all sides, and if you want to get out of the ring, you have to fight all the way to the ring. People don't care if you want to go out to heal or not, just imagine, if your injury is fake, I let you, and you take the opportunity to sneak attack? If this is the case, Gu Mingxu really won't be able to survive that time.

In desperation, he could only open his portable spiritual treasure "Golden Bell Jar" and heal nearby. But this method is not safe, and if anyone notices that he is seriously injured, they will probably hit him with the idea.

After all, he is in this group, and he is also listed as a "seeded player" with Xu Ziji and Feng Qiwu. Being able to solve a seeded player with their own hands, even if they can't make it to the next level, that sense of glory alone is enough for them to succeed each other.

Even if one person can't break the shield, what about ten? What about many more? Driven by greed, it's enough for them to come up with more means to press the bottom of the box. At this time, Gu Mingxu could only secretly pray, hoping that before anyone noticed him, he could suppress the toxin first, even if he could recover his combat effectiveness.

One drop, two drops, dark black poisonous blood seeped out from Gu Mingxu's fingertips and fell into a vial that he had placed in front of him.

I don't know what kind of poison it is...... Only by trying to collect the poisonous blood first, and after the game is over, can it be possible to find out the real culprit. Now the other party wants his own life...... It must not be tolerated!

Others didn't pay attention, but Gu Mingxu's abnormal appearance was clearly seen by Gu Weixi, who was fighting in the second group.

In the fourth group, except for the other two seeded players, the others, with the strength of the elder brother, should be able to deal with it. Now that Xu Zi is attacking with a puppet, Feng Qiwu has not yet made a move, so who hurt his brother?

Gu Weixi knows very well that his brother has a tough personality, and even if he is injured a little in the fighting arena, he will definitely insist on training. can make him have to give up the game, and even use the Lingbao Golden Bell Jar, I'm afraid that ...... He was really badly injured!

For a while, Gu Weixi was flustered, and her location happened to be close to the line. And she rushed to the ring almost immediately, shouting to the Tiangongmen guards who were responsible for maintaining order outside the ring.

"Can I request a suspension of the game?

The guard glanced at her and replied formulaically, "I'm sorry princess, the assessment has already begun, and you can't stop it for any reason." ”

Gu Weixi was worried in his heart, and he couldn't wait to give up the game immediately and rush to the fourth ring to see what was going on. The guard saw her thoughts, and persuaded again: "The prince will not be in trouble. Injuries in battle, that's all very common. The princess should go back to the assessment quickly, I believe that the prince will definitely not want you to affect his grades. ”

Is it really going to be okay? brother...... Gu Weixi raised his gaze worriedly and looked at the figure shrouded in a golden halo. If someone notices that he's injured, he'll probably be surrounded by a crowd!

Group V.

The Shura brothers and Yan Yueque have already fought for a few rounds.

Even if they were fierce in attack, Yan Yueque had also cultivated a large number of strong spiritual skills, and when they saw the moves, they still did not fall behind in a short period of time.

Another violent collision erupted, and the three of them each jumped behind them. Ge Shuchong flipped the weapon in his hand, glanced at the enemy opposite, and sneered.

"Yan Yueque, you can only advance two in one ring, you kid is an obstacle to us winning the championship, you won't be unclear, right?"

Yan Yueque nodded indifferently, with a graceful demeanor: "Yes, but have you ever thought that there is actually a simpler and easier way?"

"In one ring, you can really only make two advances. You don't have to fight me, though. ”

Seeing that the two looked at each other suspiciously, Yan Yueque smiled mysteriously, "Because you are brothers, there can naturally be discussions between brothers." As long as the elder brother humbly gives in to the younger brother, or the younger brother respects the elder brother, won't this matter be satisfactorily resolved?"

"Anyway, whoever can make it to the finals is the same, what do you need to share between brothers?"

His seemingly polite words implied a lot of subtext. Even the Shura brothers fell into a brief silence for a while, as if they were seriously considering the feasibility of this proposal.

After a while, Ge Shuchong's face changed, and he shouted angrily: "You don't talk nonsense! Don't come to sow discord! Of course our brothers want to advance together, if you want to get out, it's better for you, an outsider, to get out first!"

The battle was on the verge of breaking out again, and the three of them turned into a cloud of light and shadow, bursts of gold and iron clanging, and powerful energy like ocean waves, which radiated from time to time between the collision of their blades.

Yan Yueque always maintained a faint smile, as if the effect he wanted most had been achieved. In this battle, he has the chance to win-

Shen Antong, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, had already seen through his thoughts. Just like the fox and tiger power he adopted and borrowed a knife to kill people, what Yan Yueque is using now is also a counter-trick.

Although the Shura brothers are always in and out of pairs, in reality, their relationship is not as harmonious as it seems. Ge Shuqing is cold-blooded, Ge Shuchong is violent, in essence, they are all people who only think about themselves. For the time being, no contradictions have erupted, only because there has been no fundamental divergence of interests.

Now, Yan Yueque has planted a seed of disharmony among them. Although there are still two opponents at the moment, one beating him together, as long as this battle continues, the younger brother will inevitably feel that the elder brother is not humble enough to him, or the elder brother feels that the younger brother is not respectful enough to him. In this way, there is also a disagreement.

After all, most people tend to be very harsh with those closest to them. Yan Yueque is an enemy, and it is natural not to give in. But in the current situation, it is clear that his own brother can take a step back and end this difficult battle, but the other party is unwilling to ......

The resentment caused by the long-term hard fight will only be attached to his brother. Well, sooner or later, they will all turn against the other here...... At that time, it was your chance!

Group III.

Mu Hansha had just eliminated a few enemies, and he crossed an arc of spiritual power head-on, and his reaction was also extremely fast, quickly turning to one side, and at the same time, the energy in his body surged, and he entered a state of readiness again.

"Brother Hansha, it's really hard for you to get to this point. On the other side, a figure slowly walked out. Wearing a black robe that was the same as himself, his hands were neatly clasped in front of his chest, making a gesture of stroking his palms. Judging from the direction, he was the one who attacked him before!

"Gai Cheng!" Mu Hansha's pupils shrank. He knew that the other party was unhappy with him, but he didn't expect that he would show his hostility so early......

This person, like himself, is the Nine Shadows Holy Envoy who came to refer to this time. Previously, he was with the Eight Venerables, and there were often conflicts with himself who belonged to the Seven Venerables at that time.

In terms of family background alone, this Gai Cheng's background is indeed much better than his own. You must know that being able to become the Holy Envoy of the Nine Shadows is a first-class beauty difference in this world, and if you want to find such a position, you need a lot of money. Therefore, most of the Nine Shadows Holy Envoys in the temple had various backgrounds. Only the poor and lowly would come and sell themselves into slavery.

As a slave, you can't enjoy any preferential treatment except for being able to mix a bite of food. In the Nine Shadows Palace, they are the minions of the minions, and they have to nod and smile when they see everyone. It is really rare to be able to produce a Nine Shadows Holy Envoy from a slave.

Unfortunately, Mu Hansha just did this. He was first favored by the Eight Venerables, and then plotted on his behalf, so that he was favored by the Seven Venerables, and since then he has completely turned over, even among the Nine Shadow Holy Envoys, he is a leader. His limelight naturally overpowered Gai Cheng's mediocre performance.

How can Gai Cheng be willing to accept such a gap? He could not see the difference in strength between the two sides, and only focused on the difference in the identities of the two. How could he tolerate that a lowly slave should completely climb on his head?

At first, the Eight Venerables forbade him to provoke Mu Hansha. Gai Cheng was puzzled, but the Eight Venerables never explained it to him. It wasn't until the fall of the Eight Venerables that Gai Cheng knew that Mu Hansha had always been a secret chess piece buried by the Eight Venerables beside the Seven Venerables!

What made Gai Cheng even more resentful was that the Eight Venerables were executed, and their subordinates, who had followed the Eight Venerables, were all reprimanded to a certain extent, and their lives in the temple were not easy. But Mu Hansha, the betrayer, actually became the most popular Nine Venerables early! He also got the reference quota of the Heavenly Palace Gate! Now, he is the only winner!

Hateful...... Hateful...... Gai Cheng hated itchy. I have the intention to use Mu Hansha's betrayal to incite the old department of the Eight Venerables, hoping that they can avenge their boss and crusade against this traitor!

But the people in the Nine Shadows Hall are already cold, and the Eight Venerables are mean to people on weekdays, and everyone is just afraid of his might, but few of them really respect him. For the sake of a dead boss, it is too worthwhile to offend the henchmen of the Nine Venerables.

These people can't count on it, but Gai Cheng still can't swallow this breath. He spent a lot of money in exchange for an ordinary referral spot for himself. It was to go to the assessment with Mu Hansha, and then, completely defeat him and enter the Tiangong Gate by himself!

"Brother Hansha, why bother to put on a hostile face. Gai Cheng smirked hypocritically, "The little brother also thought to himself, you must have been very tired until now, why don't you go down and rest first, and let the little brother finish the rest of the way for you?"

Mu Hansha lowered his voice: "Gai Cheng, are you going to do it with me here?" Everyone is a member of the Nine Shadows Palace, and the external enemy has not yet been cleared, so there will be internal strife first, I am afraid that I will show others a joke." ”

Gai Cheng's plan, he can naturally see it. If you really want to do it, you will never be afraid of him. It's just that he values the kindness of the Nine Venerables and thinks about the interests of the Nine Secluded Palace. Although the other party is not on good terms with himself, they are still from the same camp in the end, and if the rankings can be better, the hall master will naturally be pleased. Therefore, as a last resort, he wants to avoid internal friction as much as possible.

But...... If this Gai Cheng insists on being his enemy, he will never leave his hand!
