Outside the martial arts arena in the west of the city, although it was still early, there were still a large number of spectators who couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and they couldn't wait for the competition to begin.

Due to the postponement of the quarterfinals for half a month, this also gave many masters enough time to rush to watch this rare competition, including several high-status Saint Shield Sect elders and Dharma protectors, as well as a number of masters in Tiger Yang City.

When it comes to the many outer cities of the Holy Shield Sect, Fengyang City and Longyang City are the most famous, because these two cities are extremely prosperous, have a large population, and the people are martial arts, and more importantly, the Nirvana Sycamore Forest and the Undersea Crystal City are hidden in the territory of these two cities.

In addition, Huyang City and Xuanyang City are also relatively famous, compared to the number of populations, the prosperity of the towns, and the strength of the major forces in the city, these two cities are only a little inferior to Fengyang City.

Since Xuanyang City was located in the northern part of the Holy Shield Sect, the distance between the other three cities was very far, so no forces came to watch the game this time.

Qi Wanyong and Chen Wuyan were quite surprised that the elders of the Holy Shield Sect and the masters of Huyang City had come, they had never expected that what was originally just a competition between the young disciples of the two cities would attract so much attention.

In addition to Elder Sun and Elder Qian, the masters of the Holy Shield Sect who came to Fengyang City this time also had the three protectors Lei Renteng, who had an extremely high status in the sect, although he was only a protector of the law, but his identity was much higher than the two elders.

There are many Dharma protectors in the Holy Shield Sect, but in terms of real power and status, there are only three who are higher than the ordinary elders.

The Great Protector is the Sect Master's confidant and strategist, Zhuge Haotian is inseparable from him every time he strategizes, and the Second Protector is responsible for guarding the secret realm of Qimen Shield Armor, this secret realm is related to the lifeblood of the Holy Shield Sect, which is quite important, and the three protectors inspect the cities of the outer sects to resolve many disputes and contradictions, so as to ensure the harmonious development of the cities of the Holy Shield Sect, which plays a vital role in strengthening the strength of the Holy Shield Sect.

Lei Renteng not only has a very high prestige in the sect, but also behaves very fairly, and has won the trust of Zhuge Haotian.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, the number of seats on the VIP seats also changed, the three protectors were naturally in the middle, Elder Sun and Elder Qian sat on the left and right sides of them, Qi Wanyong, Chen Wuyan, Ding Xianhua and Nangong Tianya sat down in turn, and the masters of the other major forces were still seated in their respective sects.

This time, there were seven first-class forces in Huyang City who came with Ding Xianhua, and it was rumored that the overall strength of the Demon Sect and the Meixiang Pavilion was not much better than that of the Liuye Sect and the Xunwu Sect, and the other five forces also had their own strengths, which were by no means comparable to ordinary sects.

Regarding the fanfare of a group of masters in Huyang City, Qi Wanyong and Chen Wuyan each had ghosts, the former was worried that the other party would take the lead, and the latter was speculating about the purpose of Ding Xianhua's move.

As Gu Butong announced that the third round of the competition was about to begin, the audience was suddenly full of voices, shouts, and cheers, among which the voices of Shadow Moon and Shui Qingwen were the highest.

Among the first-class forces sitting in the VIP seats, Shuiyue Pavilion is undoubtedly the one that has attracted the most attention, although in the fierce battle with the Demon Sect, Shui Moli, Shui Yunyan and other disciples unfortunately fell, but with Shui Linyu and Shui Lingwei coming out one after another, the overall strength of Shuiyue Pavilion has grown a lot.

Shui Linyu is the junior sister of Shui Ling Yingyue, and her cultivation has broken through to the middle stage of the Fivefold Spirit King, while Shui Lingwei is the Triple Weapon King, holding the Cold Ice Jade Bow, the first of the three major spiritual weapons of the Water Moon Pavilion, in her hand, and her combat power is also quite powerful.

In addition to Shui Linyu and Shui Lingwei, there are also Shui Yanyu, Shui Yingxue, Shui Sirou and other hall masters in the lineup of Shuiyue Pavilion, so many women with both beauty and strength are sitting together, which naturally attracts everyone's attention, even Lei Renteng is no exception.

However, Lu Yunxun did not appear in the lineup of Water Moon Pavilion this time, she had already been brought into the secret room by Shui Jingyun to retreat and cultivate, and when the time was ripe, she would open her three-flower gathering body.

Just as Qi Wanyong asked Lei Renteng for instructions on whether he could start the competition, Ding Xianhua suddenly stood up and said respectfully: "Three protectors, two elders, can you postpone the competition, I am entrusted by the seven major forces of Huyang City, and I have something to discuss with the City Lord Qi and the City Lord Chen." ”

Lei Renteng smiled and said, "City Lord Ding, if you have something to say, please sit down and say, you don't need to be so polite." ”

After looking at Qi Wanyong and Chen Wuyan, who looked puzzled, Ding Xianhua smiled and said: "The day before yesterday, a few disciples of my Huyang City met to hang out in the city, and saw that the people in the city were all complacent, advocating how powerful the disciples of Fengyang City were, and these disciples were also enthusiastic when they heard it, so they really wanted to participate in this competition, I don't know what the three protectors and the two elders think?"

Lei Renteng said with a smile: "I naturally have no opinion, but this matter still needs to be agreed by City Lord Qi and City Lord Chen." ”

Elder Qian nodded and said, "I have no problem with Elder Sun, it's just that the disciples of their two cities have fought fiercely for many times, and each has its own injuries, and it seems a little unfair for you Huyang City disciples to join them at this moment." ”

Ding Xianhua said with a smile: "Elder Qian, but please rest assured, I have discussed with several sect masters, and they have all said that they will tell the disciples under the sect not to exert their full strength, and only use seven or eight points of strength at most, so as not to hurt the disciples of Fengyang City and Longyang City." ”

Lei Renteng and the two elders all changed their expressions slightly when they heard this, and Ding Xianhua's words were enough to make the people of Fengyang City and Longyang City so aggrieved that they vomited blood.

Seeing Qi Wanyong and Chen Wuyan glaring at him angrily, Ding Xianhua didn't seem to care, he sneered: "Two city lords, please rest assured, this time the Great Venerable only brought a few disciples casually, if the two of them are worried that the disciples in the city are not strong, and they are afraid that they will be beaten by the people of my Huyang City, then I will not force it, I haven't said anything about it, haha." ”

As soon as Ding Xianhua's words came out, it was like a sharp thorn piercing into the hearts of the major power masters of Fengyang City and Longyang City, and they all gritted their teeth with anger.

Seeing that Ding Xianhua was so arrogant, Liu Wushi and Mao Qiufeng glanced at each other, and the two of them got up one after another to express that they had no opinion on the disciples of Huyang City participating in the competition.

Shui Ling Yingyue snorted coldly: "I don't have an opinion in Shuiyue Pavilion, it's just that the apprentice is still young, and he doesn't know the severity of his actions, if he hurts the disciples of Huyang City because of this, he also asks the three protectors and the two elders to testify, don't hurt the harmony between each other." ”

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the words of the two sides was getting stronger, Lei Renteng waved his hand and said: "Haha, such a wonderful competition will definitely live up to the fact that I came to watch it from thousands of miles away, so let's take out a medium-grade peak spirit weapon as a reward and reward it to the winner of this competition." ”

Elder Qian glanced at Qi Wanyong, saw his relaxed expression, and said with a smile: "Since the Three Protectors are so generous, I am also willing to take out good pills and martial arts as prizes." ”

Qi Wanyong stood up when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Since the three protectors and the two elders are not opposed, and Brother Ding doesn't care about the life or death of the disciples in his city, I don't think Brother Chen has any opinions, so if I make a little arrangement, the disciples of Huyang City will be able to participate in the competition immediately." ”

Subsequently, Qi Wanyong summoned Gu Butong and asked him to register the names and identities of the disciples participating in the competition in Huyang City.

Since there are eight disciples in Huyang City who want to participate in the competition, and then counting the eight people in the two-city competition, a total of sixteen disciples will compete in the three-city competition.

Under Ding Xianhua's repeated requests, Gu Butong took the eight people in the Twin Cities Competition as one group, and the eight disciples of Huyang City as the other group, and then asked the two groups of disciples to cross-draw their respective opponents.

Ding Xianhua's move was to avoid infighting between the disciples of Huyang City, perhaps in his eyes, the strength of the disciples of Fengyang City and Longyang City was not worth mentioning at all.

After a while, the results of the draw were announced, the first game was played by Liu Shenggen against Yan Qiaonan of the Demon Sealing Sect, the second game was played by Zhao Lie against the Sword Breaking Heaven of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the third game was played by Lin Song against Li Yu of the Proud Sword Sect, the fourth game was played by Shui Qingwen against Lu Caiyin of the Zixia Gate, the fifth game by Shadow Moon Death against Qiao Haomai of the Mountain and River Palace, the sixth game by Jiang Tianyuan against Yin Qing of the Demon Sealing Sect, the seventh game by Li Qiongyu against Shen Baoshuang of the Meixiang Pavilion, and the eighth game by Bai Ying Xia against Shi Yun of the Xuanyun Sect.

Previously, in the battle with Zhao Lie, Liu Shenggen used his dual-system spirit skills at the same time, and his spirit crystal was also severely damaged because of this, but under Liu Wushi's full treatment, his injuries had healed, and his cultivation had broken through to the middle stage of the sixfold spirit master.

Originally, Liu Wushi thought that Liu Shenggen could be a long time with Shadow Moon, but when he saw Yan Qiaonan's information, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Yan Qiaonan is the personal disciple of the Demon Sealing Sect Master Venerable Force, he is only fifteen years old, and his cultivation has already broken through to the point of the late stage of the Sixfold Weapon Master, and he holds the middle-grade primary spiritual weapon Demon Sealing Vajra Stick in his hand, and his strength is much stronger than Liu Shenggen.

Glancing at Venerable Force, Liu Wushi sneered: "Venerable, this disciple you brought casually is really not simple, it seems that the Demon Sealing Sect has produced many talents in the past few years. ”

Venerable Mighty naturally knew the meaning of Liu Wushi's words, and he said quietly: "Master Liu smiled, I sealed the small sect of the Demon Sect, and I can't compare with the Willow Leaf Gate, so I will ask my subordinates to be merciful for a while." ”

Seeing the indifferent look on Venerable Force's face, Liu Wushi was quite annoyed in his heart, he really didn't expect the other party to be so brazen and say ambiguous words, but his face did not change.

Subsequently, at Qi Wanyong's signal, Gu Butong loudly announced the start of the first competition.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Shenggen and Yan Qiaonan walked quickly into the room, and after the two saluted each other, they each prepared to attack.

Liu Shenggen took a closer look at Yan Qiaonan, and saw that this person was tall, with a peculiar appearance, the bridge of his nose was much higher than that of ordinary people, and his eyes were shining slightly, and he held a long stick with a golden glow in his hand, and there were some patterns of demon subjugation and demon slaying engraved on the stick body, and there were even extraordinary carvings of strange beasts engraved on it.

Sensing that Yan Qiaonan's strength was extraordinary, Liu Shenggen cheered up his spirit, and he decided to entangle the opponent with a tricky wood-based attack first, and when he was tired of coping, he would unexpectedly use the earth-based attack, forcing him out of the field just like he had done with Zhao Lie.

Liu Shenggen's eyes flashed slightly, and he saw that he made a strange handprint, and in an instant, a steady stream of dead vines of wood shot towards Yan Qiaonan from his palm.

Among the wood-based attack spirits, vine attacks are more common, and the vigorous green vines are extremely flexible and suitable for dealing with those who are extremely fast, but for opponents with great destructive power such as axes, guns, and clubs, the effect of withered vines will be better.

Seeing that the other party took the lead in launching an offensive, Yan Qiaonan also waved the Demon Sealing Vajra Stick, and with a wave of the long stick, it immediately stirred up countless sharp wind blades to directly slash at the oncoming dead vines.

In an instant, there was a loud noise in the martial arts arena, and those wind blades that Yan Qiaonan swung were enough to cut through the solid steel stones, but they couldn't cut off those seemingly dead vines, at most they could only leave deep marks on their surfaces.

As the strongest person among the disciples of Huyang City's peers, Yan Qiaonan had always won with a crushing advantage, but what he didn't expect was that in the first competition, he fell into such an embarrassing dilemma.

Sensing that the other party wanted to trap himself, Yan Qiaonan said coldly: "Boy, count you ruthless enough, see how I destroy your dead vine!"
