Zhou Jianlai, a poor man.

He was originally a rising star of the Zhou family in Baiyun City, and he was gifted, and his family gave him a mountain sword and taught him the high-grade martial art "Falling Thunder Sword", and had high hopes for him.

If all goes well, the future is limitless.

However, the world is unpredictable, and fortune and misfortune are unpredictable.

The Black Forest was chased by the Big Tooth and lost his right arm. If the man who causes the sword to break off his right arm, he shall be destroyed. As a result, the status of the family plummeted, the mountain sword was withdrawn, and the supply of various cultivation resources was cut off.

Zhou Jianlai couldn't stand the pain of a broken arm, the difference in status in his family, and the cynicism of his clan's children, so he left Baiyun City and went all the way south.

Fortunately, he was determined to wake up from the chaos and find himself on his own. Although he had only one arm left, he resolutely regained his sword.

He didn't turn back to Baiyun City, because it was impossible to ask for the mountain sword from the family with empty vernacular rhetoric, and it was just a joke to talk too much, so he decided to practice outside alone, and secretly vowed to return to Baiyun City one day to retrieve his mountain sword.

Zhou Jianlai went all the way south and finally arrived in Yancheng, but he was penniless, and like all the poor people who had no money, he was blocked out and not allowed to enter the city.

He was thirsty, so he gambled.

It was normal for Zhang Xiaopaw not to recognize Zhou Jianlai, because Zhou Jianlai's changes were too great, even if he had a thousand imaginations, it was impossible to connect the wind-haired young man holding a giant sword in Shuanglong Gully Valley with the ragged, skinny, and muddy young man with a broken arm in front of him.

Zhang Xiaopaw didn't recognize Zhou Jianlai, but Zhou Jianlai recognized Zhang Xiaopaw, to be exact, Zhang Xiaopaw first reported to his home, and was recognized by Zhou Jianlai after hearing it.

Although there is only one face, Zhou Jianlai has a deep impression of Zhang Xiaopaw, a waste boy with excellent understanding, who is considered a talented guy by the great elders of the City Lord's Mansion. Of course, the simple and catchy name of 'Zhang Xiaopaw' also has a certain amount of credit.

"Fight again!" Zhang Xiaopu said in a flat tone after winning the punch.

The corner of the ring director's eyes twitched twice, and Zhang Xiaopaw punched one of his thugs in the face, the clean and neat picture made him feel unreal in his heart, but after a short shock, he stabilized his emotions, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.

It has been five days since the gambling was set, and he didn't know how many powerful challengers he had seen in the past five days, many of whom were as young as Zhang Xiaopu, but unfortunately most of them were bloodied in the ring due to excessive conceit.

He looked at a man in black and said, "Luo Fei, you go." Be careful, this kid is surprisingly fast, don't capsize in the gutter. This bone knife is very novel, let's take it. ”

The black-clothed man named Luo Fei pursed his lips disdainfully, and said, "It's just a hairy boy who has not dried up, watch me kill him with a sword." ”

"Liujia Village, Zhang Xiaopu, please advise. Zhang Xiaopaw bowed his hand to Luo Fei, who walked into the ring.

"Yancheng, Luo Fei, please advise. Luo Fei swept Zhang Xiaopaw up and down, arched his hand casually, and then shouted: "Limen, open!"

"Speed gate, open!"

"Valve, open!"

opened three battle gates in a row, and a wave of air suddenly set off under his feet, raising the dust on the surface of the ring and swinging it around. He raised his combat power to the highest level at once, and it can be seen that his words of despising Zhang Xiaopaw are just words, and in fact, he does not dare to underestimate them.

Zhang Xiaopaw looked at Luo Fei, who had the battle door fully open, and couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart, not understanding why he had to wait until before the battle to open the battle gate? Is it just to shout twice before the battle to increase his own momentum? Or is it to hide his strength?

Zhang Xiaopaw didn't understand, because his force gate hadn't been closed since it was opened, and he didn't feel anything uncomfortable, and he didn't even know how to close the force gate at all.

He didn't know that in fact, until a cultivator had cultivated to reach the realm of the sea and truly comprehend nature, the battle gate could not be kept open all the time, because opening the battle gate would constantly consume the cultivator's essence and spirit. Without the nourishment and replenishment of spiritual power, a person's spirit and spirit are simply not enough to support the consumption of the battle gate.

So it's not someone else, it's himself. If he tells his story, others will definitely say that he is talking nonsense.

However, he did not guess wrong about two points, opening the battle gate before the battle and shouting loudly can indeed play a role in increasing the momentum of the battle, just as roaring in the dark night can drive away fear, and beating drums on the battlefield can increase morale, the same reason. In addition, it also has the effect of hiding strength, especially when a battle door is suddenly opened in battle, and the opponent is caught off guard.

For example, at this moment, Luo Fei opened three battle gates in a row, and his momentum skyrocketed. If Zhang Xiaopaw is an ordinary opponent, he will definitely be overwhelmed by his momentum. As soon as the momentum was weak, he had already lost three points before the battle was fought.

It's a pity that Zhang Xiaopu is not an ordinary opponent, he is ravaged by the black giant ape every day in the Black Forest, it can be said that even if the black giant ape stands there without moving, the momentum oppression caused by it is a hundred times stronger than Luo Fei's momentum oppression in front of him, so Luo Fei's momentum oppression is like a breeze sweeping in front of him, and there is no effect.

Zhang Xiaopaw was not afraid of Luo Fei's momentum oppression, but Lu Kaixue, who was watching the battle under the ring, was frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhang Xiaopaw, hurry up and open the battle gate, don't be suppressed by his momentum." ”

Zhou Jianlai swept Luo Fei up and down, and muttered to himself: "The valve is perfect, it's a bit tricky. ”

Only the two of them were left in the ring to watch the battle, and everyone else flocked to the ring that Zhou Jianlai had just challenged, because the buckets of water that Zhou Jianlai had won were being distributed over there.

"Boy, are you scared?" Luo Fei saw that Zhang Xiaopaw's expression was slightly dazed, and he thought that he was frightened by his own momentum, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smug smile.

"Boy, open the battle door!" Lu Kaixue was so anxious that his voice was hoarse.

"Boy, don't say that I bully the small, I'll give you a chance to open the door of war. Luo Fei was quite a gentleman, and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Xiaopu, signaling him to open the battle gate.

"Battle Gate?" Zhou Jianlai's expression was puzzled, he knew that Zhang Xiaopaw's battle gate was congenitally occluded, could it be that he hadn't seen him for more than a month and had already obtained the Ten Directions Demon Pill to penetrate the battle gate?

Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Zhang Xiaopaw suddenly felt so stressed that he had to open his mouth and shout: "Limen, open!"

Then he made a move that made everyone vomit blood, only to see him scratch the back of his head, look back at Lu Kaixue, and ask in a low voice, "Sir, is this okay?"

Lu Kaixue opened his mouth and looked at Zhang Xiaopaw with round eyes, like a ghost.

"——" Luo Fei's forehead was bruised, and he felt that Zhang Xiaopaw was deliberately humiliating him.

Zhou Jianlai shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that Lu Kaixue was bluffing, and asked Zhang Xiaopaw to pretend to open the battle gate to scare and scare the opponent, but Zhang Xiaopaw was stupid and didn't know how to cooperate, and even asked Lu Kaixue in turn how the effect was, which was so stupid that he was bubbling.

"Look at the sword!" Luo Fei was furious, and attacked Zhang Xiaopaw with his sword.

Zhang Xiaopaw calmed his breath and unfolded it in the subtle realm, accurately capturing Luo Fei's every movement in an instant, and judging his next move. He strode up to meet it, his head was off to avoid the stabbing sword, and at the same time, his right foot kicked out, hitting Luo Fei's chest, Luo Fei flew out with a muffled snort, and fell directly into the ring.

Clean and clean, without a bit of waste.

This is the fighting method that Zhang Xiaopu learned from the black giant ape, no moves, no style, only strength and speed, full of the most primitive sense of violence.

However, this kick Zhang Xiaopaw was merciful, otherwise Luo Fei would not have just fallen into the ring, with Zhang Xiaopaw's strength was enough to kick and shatter his sternum.

Luo Fei didn't know that it was actually his pretense of courtesy, leaving Zhang Xiaopu time to open the battle gate, although his words had a sarcastic flavor outside, but it still won him a little good impression of Zhang Xiaopu, so that Zhang Xiaopaw was merciful.

Zhang Xiaopai's temperament gradually became as simple and direct as his way of fighting, if you let me give me a point, I will let you give you a point, and if you deceive me, I will give you a point.

"Damn!" Luo Feifu jumped up as soon as he fell out of the ring, jumping to his feet and screaming in anger, feeling that he had lost so unjustly.

"Is this-win?" Lu Kaixue rubbed his eyes, his face incredible.

Zhou Jianlai stared at Zhang Xiaopaw and said to himself: "Simple and direct violence, specializing in dealing with all bells and whistles. Can I borrow a word or two from my sword?"

Zhang Xiaopu felt Zhou Jianlai's gaze and turned his head to look at Zhou Jianlai.

Looking at each other, Zhou Jianlai smiled at Zhang Xiaopaw and nodded.

Zhang Xiaopaw smiled back politely, but still didn't recognize Zhou Jianlai.

"Keep up the challenge. Zhang Xiaopaw withdrew his gaze from Zhou Jianlai, looked at the grass shed and said.

"I'm coming!" Without waiting for the ring supervisor to answer, a man in black took the initiative to ask for help, and he stepped into the ring without asking for the consent of the ring director.

"Zhang Yue, be careful, this kid is not simple. The ring supervisor frowned and reminded, his expression slightly displeased, because this guy came on stage without permission, which disrupted his deployment a little.

The black-clothed man in a strong suit named Zhang Yue didn't answer, just laughed.

"Liujia Village, Zhang Xiaopu. Please advise. Zhang Xiaopaw saluted Zhang Yue who came up, and when he heard that the person in front of him was named Zhang Yue, with the same surname as himself, he couldn't help but feel a little intimate in his heart.

Sou!

However, what answered him was a crossbow arrow that broke the air, shot out of Zhang Yue's cuff, and there was a highly lethal sleeve arrow hidden in his sleeve, but this arrow was not aimed at Zhang Xiaopaw, but directly at Niu Dawa lying on the edge of the ring.

This person is very cunning and vicious, and wants to attack Niu Dawa and let Zhang Xiaopu throw a mouse trap.

With a bang, Zhang Xiaopaw's body ejected like an arrow, and the thick plank where he was standing was kicked out of two large holes. His body shot at Niu Dawa against the ring, pounced on Niu Dawa at the last moment, and rolled out of the ring with Niu Dawa in his arms.

"Haha, soldiers are not tired of cheating!" Zhang Yue in the ring couldn't help but laugh proudly when he saw Zhang Xiaopaw rolling off the ring, "You will lose when you land!"

"Look at the sword!" only heard a shout from the audience, and Zhou Jianlai, who was watching the battle, suddenly stabbed Zhang Xiaopu with a sword. He didn't want to stab Zhang Xiaopu, but sent the sword over to give Zhang Xiaopu a place to borrow strength and prevent Zhang Xiaopu from falling to the ground.

Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but be overjoyed when he went to the prestige, hurriedly twisted his body, freed his right hand, and slapped his palm on the stabbing sword. Zhou Jianlai took advantage of the situation to raise his sword and picked up Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa.

Bang!

Zhang Xiaopaw hugged Niu Dawa, his feet fell back to the ring steadily, his eyes stared coldly at the man in black clothes, and squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "You want to die!"

Zhang Yue's laughter stopped abruptly, glared at Zhou Jianlai fiercely, blaming him for being nosy, and then squinted at Zhang Xiaopaw from the corner of his eyes and said: "You two climb the challenge at the same time, as long as one of you goes down, you will lose, how can you hold him and fight with me?"

He's a scoundrel who is unreasonable.

Although Zhang Xiaopaw was holding Niu Dawa in the ring, Niu Dawa has been unconscious, and fools know that the challenger is only Zhang Xiaopaw, but he is talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he is clearly cheating.

Even the ring supervisor under the grass shed couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, revealing disdain, but when his gaze fell on the bone knife lying on the wooden tray, his eyes suddenly showed a greedy light that could not be concealed. In the end, he did not say anything to stop Zhang Yue, which can be regarded as acquiescing to Zhang Yue's rogue behavior.

Zhang Yue waited for a while, and when he saw that the ring supervisor did not stop him, knowing what the ring director was thinking, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth to reveal a sinister smile. He raised his left arm and aimed it at Zhang Xiaopaw. To be precise, it was aimed at the cow baby held by Zhang Xiaopaw.

"Despicable and shameless!" Lu Kaixue pointed his finger at Zhang Yue and scolded.

Zhang Xiaopaw was also angry, but the experience of this period of time had already made him understand one thing, fairness and rules are always in the hands of the strong, so he did not make useless verbal arguments.

It's hard to be angry, so punch the annoying guy in front of you, and then the anger will naturally be smooth.

"Zhang Yue, you!"

"You don't have a fart when you give birth to a son!"

"You choke to death when you drink water, and choke to death when you eat!"

"You-"

Under the ring, Lu Kaixue blushed and had a thick neck, slapped his face and scolded vigorously, and the corners of his mouth were foaming, just because Zhang Yue ruined his good expectations. Originally, he was full of confidence in Zhang Xiaopu, and felt that it was not a problem for Zhang Xiaopaw to win one more game, that is, to win three games in a row, and he could get a bucket of water.

Although this water is used to clean Niu Dawa's wounds, he can save some water, and leave some water, with Zhang Xiaopaw's grateful temperament, he is sure that Zhang Xiaopaw will give him some of the remaining water to drink.

He had even imagined the wonderful taste of the moment at the entrance of Qingshui in his mind, but he didn't expect that a brazen Zhang Yue would use Niu Dawa to bind Zhang Xiaopa.

How can this fight be fought?

Lu Kaixue's wonderful illusion was shattered in an instant, and he was so angry that he turned into a wicked woman scolding the street for a while, slapping how ugly she was.

"Shut up Lao Tzu!" Zhang Yue was scolded by Lu Kaixue so that his face turned green, he shouted angrily, and his cuffs suddenly turned to Lu Kaixue, and then shot a crossbow arrow, which was about to shoot Lu Kaixue.

A hand appears in the path of the bolt and grabs it steadily.

Zhang Yue's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Zhang Xiaopaw's speed to be fast enough to catch flying arrows with his bare hands, but his eyes fell on Niu Dawa, who was unconscious in his arms by Zhang Xiaopaw's shoulders, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said coldly: "Yo, my ability is not small, I can catch flying arrows with my bare hands, but I underestimate you." I just don't know if you'll be able to catch all the arrows?"

As he spoke, he raised his right arm and aimed it at Zhang Xiaopaw.

Apparently he also had an arrow in his sleeve in his right arm.

"You can try. Zhang Xiaopaw looked at him, and his voice was extremely flat.
