Chapter 42: The Martial Arts Begins

Sheng Tianji and the cultivators under him glanced at each other, and there were doubts in their eyes, and they were a little confused. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

They couldn't figure out what the Xichuan Empire meant, and not only gave up martial arts, which was obviously beneficial to them, but also forcibly demanded that it be a competition for the younger generation. How much strength can the younger generation under the age of twenty have, with them here, there is no battle of life and death at all, is the Xichuan Empire trying to preserve its strength for them?

Sheng Tianji really couldn't figure it out, but he also knew that he couldn't weaken his momentum at the moment, so he snorted coldly and responded: "Okay, then everything is as you said, Song Junxing, you wait well, after two months, the winner will be decided." ”

After saying this, he left there with a group of people and horses, since it had been discovered by the Xichuan Empire, it was obviously impossible to sneak attack, the battle had already begun, and everything could only wait until the day of two months.

On the other side, the fine willow was closed, and the surrounding cultivators did not understand this requirement very well, none of them were insiders, before they arrived, they thought that this time they were destined to have a life-and-death battle with Sheng Tang, but they didn't expect that in the end, they would become spectators.

One of them, a middle-aged man who looked very strong, stepped forward and asked solemnly: "Jun Xing, why did it suddenly become a competition for the younger generation, when you came, Your Majesty didn't say so." ”

Although Song Junxing was the leader of the team this time, he still had a lot of respect for this middle-aged man, and replied: "Senior Sun, Your Majesty later passed on an oracle to me, that is, to change it to a competition for the younger generation. ”

"This, why is this? It is impossible for the younger generation to hit Sheng Tang, this opportunity is so rare, if Sheng Tianji can be kept here, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the entire Sheng Tang. ”

Song Junxing smiled and agreed: "It's naturally good to be able to keep Sheng Tianji, but it's difficult." And we don't have to lose a big deal with a small thing. ”

"Because of a small loss, General Song, why do you say this?"

"Originally, I shouldn't have said it now, but since everyone is so confused, Jun Xing will not hide it, but you must remember that this matter must not be leaked out, at least in the past two months, it must not be known to Sheng Tang, otherwise, the court of the Elders' House will deal with it!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Song Junxing's face was cold, and there was an overwhelming momentum swept up, although he was not very old, but his strength was definitely one of the best among these people, otherwise he would not be able to take up the position of general.

"Yes!"

Everyone's hearts suddenly sank.

"Because the gate of heaven is about to open......"

"Tianmen, but that Tianmen?"

Song Junxing nodded solemnly.

Everyone gasped because of this. Because the gate of heaven often represents two other words, Jiuxuan!

Every time the Heavenly Gate appears, it symbolizes that there will be a new Nine Xuan Supreme Strong, and there is only one. Every time, only one person will have this opportunity to ascend to the sky and achieve the realm of the Nine Xuans, so as the two most powerful empires in the world, they often fight to the death, because every extra Nine Xuans represents an absolute deterrent.

Of course, those holy places are not counted in this, they have a unique way to become the Nine Immortals, and they don't bother to fight with them.

Moreover, the Heavenly Gate also has extremely strict entry conditions, only cultivators under the age of twenty are allowed to enter, and only cultivators below the realm of the Dao are allowed to enter.

Everyone immediately understood the reason for this competition, because they all understood that it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to give up the Xiliu Pass, and they would inevitably send the three most powerful young people of the Tang Dynasty to fight, if the empire could directly defeat them, then this Tianmen opportunity would definitely belong to them Xichuan.

Thinking of the recent military exercises held in advance by the counties of the empire, they all suddenly realized that Your Majesty was planning a far-sighted plan, and in two months, no one would be able to stop their Xichuan hegemony.

However, the middle-aged cultivator before still had doubts, looked at Song Junxing and said: "General, is the news of this Tianmen true, if there is a mistake, the empire will miss such an opportunity that can deal a heavy blow to the Tang Dynasty......!

Song Junxing smiled and shook his head lightly: "Senior Sun don't worry, this is calculated by the adults in the Elders' House personally, and there will be absolutely no mistake." ”

"Since this is the case, then it stands to reason that Sheng Tang should also know about this matter, the strength of their Supervision Yuan is definitely not weaker than ours, how can they agree so easily?"

"Hehe, Elder Sun, you don't know this, how can the failure of the national fortune be said casually, this represents the disgust of the Heavenly Dao for them, the Supervision Yuan is powerful, but if the Heavenly Dao directly blocks everything, even if they have the ability to reach the heavens, can it be that they can surpass the Heavenly Dao, the current Supervision Yuan, at best, can only be regarded as a rampaging blind man!"

Song Junxing smiled coldly, obviously he didn't take the supervision court of the Tang Dynasty in his eyes, everyone heard this, and they also laughed in unison, this is indeed a godsend, when they Xichuan is born again, a Jiuxuan supreme powerhouse, this mortal world, is destined to be controlled by their Xichuan.

"God bless me Xichuan!"

"Haha, God bless the Empire!"

……

Ten days passed quickly, and it was June in the blink of an eye.

The hot winds of June swept across the world, starting from the highest mountain range in the west, Lianbi Mountain, and blowing down the Huai River to Shanglin Tianjing, the imperial capital of the Xichuan Empire. The Ru'an County, which is located in the east of Liyang Province, has gradually warmed up in this more than half a month, and the people still have to walk on the streets and alleys for their livelihood, but there are obviously fewer tourists, and more are gathered on the cool water of the Huai River, taking the painting boat, and swimming in the landscape.

In summer, people always have a feeling of tiredness, and the city of Anjun is also general, lazy, as if it is a giant who has not woken up, lying on the plain, without the vast momentum of the past. It wasn't until this day that the thunderous drums sounded in all four directions of the outer city at the same time, and the entire city instantly boiled.

The first day of the sixth month is the day of the martial arts conference. On this day, all public goods will be suspended, and the people will not have to work, and they will be able to enjoy the long-lost holiday. And some of the service industry like restaurants and inns is hot all of a sudden, the seats are full, it is not easy to grab a vacant position, of course, the most lively is the casino, I heard that it is still the most famous big family in the city, and the names of some of the proud sons of the sky are also hung up in detail, gamblers are red-eyed for this, some people get rich overnight, and some people will fall into hell because of this.

Before dawn, Chen Guyu and the others had already prepared their bags, all wearing the simple clothes of the Ninghai Academy, waiting to leave.

The list had already come out a few days ago, and as Lord Liu had expected, Yanwu was divided into two groups, Yan Hefeng and Lin Zeng were divided into the older group, and Chen Guyu and Luo Qianqian's group were both younger disciples. Some of these groupings are indeed difficult to define, but if you think about it, the status of the county guard will definitely not be fake.

The preliminary round of the martial arts conference was divided into four regions, because of the geographical location of Ninghai City, Chen Guyu and they were divided into the eastern area, when the lord of the Liu Mansion led them into the competition area, they found that it was already full of people, an invisible barrier separated the audience, rows of soldiers guarded the door, and after the lord of the Liu Mansion registered the list, they were allowed to enter.

In the vicinity of the competition area, there are many restaurants, and the seats in them, especially the high-rise ones, the price has soared all the way, and even fried to the point of 10,000 gold, after all, most of this person is still ordinary people, this time to be able to see the demeanor of cultivators, I believe that any rich man will not be stingy with money, in fact, such a martial arts conference is even more popular among the people than the New Year's celebration.

After Chen Guyu and they sat down, after a while, the martial arts conference began, no adults came out to speak, not even some words on the scene, a young man with sharp eyes descended from the sky on the square and marble stage, dressed in black, looked around, and the entire eastern district was quiet in an instant.

The audience who was originally bustling with words was even more dumbfounded, and when the gaze was projected just now, there was a feeling of heartbeat, the sun was hanging in the air, but there was a cold sweat that flowed uncontrollably. Seeing this, the young man finally nodded with satisfaction, then took out a list and read aloud: "The first scene, Changfeng Academy, Mingxue, Gulai Academy, Xu Chongchong." ”

As the words fell, a girl in a yellow suit had already appeared on the stage, saluting respectfully to the young man, and opposite her was Xu Chongchong from Gulai Academy, a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, who looked very shrewd and saluted respectfully.

Seeing that the two of them were in place, the young man didn't talk nonsense: "I'm Xiao Jue from Ru'an Academy, and I am also the referee this time, except that I can't hurt people's lives, there are no rules for performing martial arts." Now, let's go!"

The young man floated in the distance, floating in mid-air, on the distant lookout.

And the two of them also summoned their own scriptures in an instant, and they duel together.

After all, it is a competition in the name of martial arts, and it is impossible to have any life-and-death battles, and the verdicts of each competition area are also carefully selected, most of them are old students from Ru'an Academy, on the one hand, it is a judgment competition, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent the occurrence of some major accidents.

In fact, the duel below the separation between heaven and man is not much different from those mortals, most of them use the power of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves and then attack the other party, if they want to directly attack with the embodiment of Dao power, they may be able to do it, but it will definitely not be sustainable, the Dao power at this stage is still too lacking, and it will definitely not appear in the competition.

And most of these students are greenhouse flowers with little experience, and they are decent in their hands, Chen Guyu looked at it for a while and felt that it was not interesting, although he didn't know what he had experienced before, but he had already seen all the flaws in it at a few glances, and felt that it was really boring, so he looked around.

This time, it is estimated that there are seventy or eighty schools in the Eastern Region, and according to the calculation of four or five people from each school, that is, if you want to win the championship in this region, you will have to play at least dozens of games, which will be a difficult challenge for many people.

Chen Guyu also saw the Iron Sword Academy sitting not far from them, the young city lord of Ninghai City, Li Xiangqian, who was looking at the stage intently, as if he noticed his gaze, and then looked over, revealing a sneer.

Chen Guyu didn't pay attention to it, he didn't care about this, this time the goal was very clear, that is, the champion, no one could stop him, he had always had this confidence!

Time passed quickly, and the youth once again reported the list.

"Fifty-second scene, Ninghai Academy, Luo Qianqian, Juzhu Academy, Wu Haoyue. ”
