Chapter 20: Challenges
Hearing Feng Lengchan say this, Shi Mu and the other martial arts hall disciples were all in high spirits, and they all stood around the ring.
Li Canghai and other sect leaders also came over, and there were two more people with unfamiliar faces. One was wearing armor and a sword at his waist, and his expression seemed to be smiling, but he was actually a military attaché. The other had her hair raised high and her face was expressionless, but it was a beautiful woman in her thirties, who was the acquired martial artist invited by the four martial arts halls to be the referee.
The martial arts hall is the captain of the Fengcheng Guard, but the woman is the leader of a large underground force in the city.
A moment later, Feng Lengchan stood in the ring and announced the rules of the competition.
"This competition is the same as before, with three rounds to win or lose. In each round, the four major martial arts halls can send one person to take the initiative to challenge, and the challenged martial arts halls must try their best to meet the battle, and the failed disciples are not allowed to enter the next round of competition, and the winning disciples can still continue to challenge other martial artists in the next round. After three rounds, the number of disciples who retain the right to challenge will be ranked. ”
As soon as Feng Lengchan finished speaking, he immediately jumped out of the ring, replaced by the military attache and walked up unhurriedly, just hugged his fists slightly, and stood there without saying a word.
Li Yunfeng below, after listening to the rules of the competition, grinned slightly.
"Brother Li, do you have any opinions about the rules of this competition?" Shi Mu saw it and asked curiously.
"Brother Shi didn't know that this three-round challenge system was actually the most beneficial to the martial arts hall with a strong person. In the last competition, Wang Tianhao represented the Jin Gang Martial Arts Gym and almost swept three rounds with the strength of one person, and no one in the other martial arts halls could resist it. Li Yunfeng replied with a wry smile.
"I see, it's really fun for the military attache to challenge the rules. Shi Mu thought about it for a while, and then understood the true meaning of the rules being formulated like this, and chuckled.
At this moment, someone in the ring had already jumped up and said loudly:
"In the Lower Tianlu Martial Arts Pavilion Wu Ming, I want to learn the martial arts of the senior brothers of the Lower Wind Martial Arts Pavilion. ”
"Yun Feng, you go up. This man was defeated by you last time, so you should have no problem coping with it. Seeing this, the red-faced man of the Liufeng Martial Arts Pavilion commanded without looking back.
"Master Min, don't worry. This kid is handed over to me. Li Yunfeng hurriedly stopped talking to Shi Mu and replied with a puffed chest.
Then Li Yunfeng inserted his hands into his waist, and suddenly there was an extra cyan fist in each of his hands, waving slightly, making a crisp sound of "clanging", and the surface was inlaid with pieces of bronze the size of a fingernail.
As soon as Li Yunfeng jumped into the ring, the young man who went up first roared angrily, and each hand showed two daggers with bright dangling daggers, and rushed straight up.
In an instant, the two fought together.
Li Yunfeng's body twisted, his arms shook again and again, and his fists often attacked the enemy from a very strange angle.
The young man named Wu Ming, the two daggers are small and continuous, forming an impermeable defense, colliding with fists from time to time, collapsing from the starting point of sparks, and even good-looking.
"It's not good, Wu Ming's Sky Breaking Dagger has been cultivated to the point where it can't be advanced, I'm afraid Yun Feng will suffer a small loss. After looking at it for a while, the red-faced man said with a slight change in his face.
"Definitely. Wu Ming's Sky Breaking Dagger was just getting started, and he didn't expect that he would cultivate to the Xiaocheng level in just one year, but Yun Feng's Python Bone Fist lacked some fire, and it was indeed difficult to win. Li Canghai also commented.
As if to confirm his words, at this time, after a low roar in the ring, the two figures who were fighting suddenly separated, Wu Ming stumbled back a few steps, pressed his chest with one hand, and his face was abnormally pale.
Li Yunfeng on the opposite side, but two bright daggers were inserted into the small half of his shoulder, and he was drenched in blood, obviously no longer had the strength to fight again.
"In the first game, Tianlu Martial Arts Hall wins!" In the ring, the military attache stepped forward and announced.
After Li Yunfeng glanced at Wu Ming with a fierce eye, he could only jump out of the ring unwillingly. ”
"Poof" and "poof" twice, the red-faced man used his fingers to use a little on both sides of Li Yunfeng's shoulder, and then grabbed his shoulders and shook them suddenly, the two daggers were forced out, and the two blood lines immediately stopped abruptly after they were a few feet high.
"Apply medicine immediately, wrap the wound, and it should be fine in three to five days. The red-faced man said in a deep voice.
Even though Li Yunfeng was full of pain, he could only nod his head again and again.
At this time, a young man with a stick in the Jingang Martial Arts Pavilion had already been replaced in the ring to challenge the Tianlu Martial Arts Pavilion.
As a result, a knife-wielding disciple also jumped out of the Tianlu Martial Arts Hall, and the two fought together.
After more than a dozen rounds, the challenger of the Jingang Martial Arts Pavilion was accidentally picked by the opponent and flew the weapon in his hand, so he could only admit defeat and retreat.
Tianlu Martial Arts Hall won two games in a row, and for a while, Feng Lengchan also stroked his beard with one hand, and his face was full of smiles.
After two matches, there was a lot of discussion in the ring.
"What's so nice about these, I've heard of the great name of the body of the earth, boy, stand up and let me understand it. At this moment, someone suddenly jumped out of the crowd, stood firmly in the ring with a spear, looked in the direction of the Feihong Martial Arts Hall and said loudly.
This person's face is full of arrogance, it is Wang Tianhao.
"This brainless kid, didn't you tell him earlier, you don't have to be in such a hurry to play, and you will challenge the Feihong Martial Arts Hall in the first game. ”
On the side of the Jin Gang Martial Arts Pavilion, a certain gray old man who didn't have time to grab Wang Tianhao almost jumped to his feet and scolded angrily.
When the people on the Feihong Martial Arts Hall saw this, there was a commotion.
Seeing this, Tie Dong, who was black and thin, flashed a fierce light in his eyes, and stepped forward to the ring, but a long-bearded old man standing in front of him grabbed it, and shook his head and said:
"Dong'er, you don't need to play so early, otherwise even if you win, you will consume a lot of physical strength and you won't be able to have the last laugh. Gu Zhong, you go up to test whether Wang Tianhao's firelight technique has improved. ”
When Gu Zhong heard this, he was depressed for a while, but he could only agree stubbornly, and jumped into the ring with his long sword out.
"It's not you I'm looking for you, replace that kid. As soon as Wang Tianhao saw Gu Zhong, he immediately said impatiently
"Your Excellency will defeat you first, and then think about other things. Even though Gu Zhong was very afraid of Wang Tianhao, he couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard this, and after snorting, the long sword in his hand shook, and suddenly turned into a gust of wind and swept out.
It was the cloak swordsmanship that he had practiced for many years.
"It's boring!" Wang Tianhao's face sank, and the spear in his hand was horizontally in front of him, and the front half of the spear disappeared in a blur.
With a "poof", a bowl of flames suddenly appeared in front of Wang Tianhao, and turned into a ball of red light and rushed out
With a loud "boom", Gu Zhong screamed, and the whole person flew out of the ring with a burnt smell.
After a flicker, the flame reappeared in its original form, and it was actually a cold and shining spear head, but the surface was all wrapped in a raging flame, which looked extremely strange.
"Flame of Fire"
Seeing this, the long-bearded old man of the Feihong Martial Arts Hall below suddenly screamed in fright, and then his body moved, turning into a gray shadow and flying into the sky, and took Gu Zhong down with both arms.
When the long-bearded old man landed again, he could clearly see that Gu Zhong in his arms was already black, most of his clothes had turned to ashes and no longer existed, and his bare skin was covered with white fire bubbles of different sizes, which looked extremely miserable!
"Brother Xu, I didn't expect that Wang Xian's nephew would actually cultivate the Burning Musket technique to such an extent, you are really hiding from us. The long-bearded old man hugged Gu Zhong, his face was pale, he turned his head, and asked the gray and white old man "Uncle Xu".
"Haha, don't wronged me. I also just learned that Tianhao Xian's nephew has cultivated into a flame of fire, according to common sense, this is simply impossible, and it is a trick that only an acquired martial artist can perform. Uncle Xu of the Jingang Martial Arts Pavilion was surprised and delighted, and replied without thinking.
"Okay, okay, I remember that. The long-bearded old man stomped his foot suddenly, and he could only helplessly ask someone to send Gu Zhong to the ashram to heal his injuries.
At this time, the other martial arts hall leaders looked at Wang Tianhao's gaze, but they were like looking at a monster with a blue face and fangs, all with expressions of disbelief.
"This is impossible, how can it really be that someone has cultivated into a Flame of Fire at the martial apprentice stage, if he is like this, who else can block his attack. Li Canghai also muttered with an ugly face.
"Haha, since Wang Tianhao has cultivated into the Flame of Fang, even if he directly enters the Kaiyuan Martial Academy, it is more than enough, I think there is no need to compete for the first place in this competition. Of course, if anyone is not convinced, they can directly challenge it. If Tianhao loses, then our Jingang Martial Arts Hall will automatically withdraw from the competition below, and is willing to go directly to the bottom. Uncle Xu jumped into the ring, nodded at the somewhat stunned military attaché, and said in high spirits.
When Feng Lengchan and the other three martial arts hall leaders heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Hmph, if you want to be the first in the Jingang Martial Arts Pavilion, you have to ask me first. Although Tie Dong was also shocked by the flames of Wang Tianhao's spear, he couldn't help but be furious when he heard the words at this moment, and then his body moved, and he was about to rush into the ring.
"Dong'er, stop. Your thick earth body, though powerful, will never be able to withstand the blow of a blazing flame. The long-bearded old man hurriedly grabbed Tie Dong again, and said with a gloomy face.
When Tie Dong heard this, his heart suddenly cooled.
Although he has always been unruly, he is still very convinced of the old man who brought him from the island to Fengcheng.
At the same time, Feng Jun on the other side of the ring, his fists were clenched, his nails were deeply sunk into his palms, but his face was pale and he didn't dare to open his mouth for half a minute.
"Shi Mu, come up. I look at all the people here, and I'm afraid that you are the only one who has the strength to fight with me. Wang Tianhao swept over the people under the ring, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and suddenly smiled strangely at Shi Mu's location, and said loudly.
