West.

The Huang family's mansion.

A tall, red-haired, lion-like old man was practicing his fists and feet in the courtyard, only to see him step on one foot, the ground suddenly cracked and exploded, he punched out, and the mountain-like boulder in front of him directly shattered, turning into countless gravel splashes.

The head of the Huang family, the yellow lion.

He has wide hands and feet, and although he is nearly eighty years old, the skin on his body has no age spots at all, and it is as clear as jade, and shiny like a baby.

"Report to the head of the family, the Ye family sent an invitation!"

Just then, a guard hurried in and handed over an invitation.

Huang Xiongshi opened the invitation and looked at it, and immediately laughed, "Okay, it's a king-level exercise, it belongs to my old man, come here, prepare a sedan chair!"

.........

North of the city, Wu family.

In the martial arts training ground.

I saw a middle-aged man, holding an iron pen, practicing the mysterious martial arts.

He wielded an iron pen, crisscrossing vertically and horizontally, one horizontal and one vertical, each stroke of iron drew a silver hook, tearing the air current, and actually wrote a big word "kill" in the void.

The word "kill" is the condensation of true qi, with a rumbling qi explosion, like gunpowder exploding, hitting a huge pit in the ground.

The head of the Wu family, Wu Xiuyi.

An iron pen is superb, hidden and killing, and people give him a nickname, the king of iron pen Hades.

At this time, a guard walked into the arena and handed over an invitation.

"Martial arts competition?"

Wu Xiuyi tore the invitation card in her hand in half, and a strong killing intent burst out of her eyes, "There is no doubt that the king-level exercises belong to me, I must get them, whoever stops me, there is only one word, kill!"

As soon as the word "kill" was spoken, a strong evil aura immediately swept across a radius of dozens of meters, making the guards shiver.

.........

The City Lord's Mansion is located on the center line of Beihai City, sitting north and facing south.

The whole city lord's mansion is magnificent and solemn, surrounded by a wide moat, and a bluestone bridge is built over the river.

The huge city wall tower is dozens of zhang high, and there are patrolling guards on it, taking turns to patrol day and night.

These guards, all clad in iron armor and swords at their waists, looked around the city like iron warriors, casting a cold and undisguised killing intent at everyone who tried to approach the city lord's mansion.

In the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, in the golden hall, a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a majestic face and a python robe, sat on the throne highly.

He sat there, his breath was vigorous, like a dragon and a tiger, and he had a kingly bearing.

The lord of Beihai City, Xia Hongyuan, is known as the King of Beihai.

Xia is the royal surname.

Xia Hongyuan, the king of Beihai, was born in the imperial family and was an immediate family member of the current Xia Emperor.

The Great Xia Emperor canonized a total of eighteen city lords, and he was one of them.

"The Ye family actually held a martial arts tournament and asked the city lord to be the referee?"

Xia Hongyuan looked at the invitation card in his hand with an interested expression.

.........

In just one day, the Ye family almost sent the invitations to the hands of the major families and various forces in Beihai City.

A king-level exercise, five million taels of gold reward, this huge temptation has made countless people moved.

Five days later.

Finally, the day of the tournament has come.

In the huge Beihai City, today is very lively, many heads and faces have gone out, sat in a gorgeous sedan chair, the slaves in front of them opened the way, and rushed to the southern suburbs of the city.

Zhou Lie received the news from Xiong Tianba, and he didn't take a sedan chair or carriage, but walked, and walked out of the city in a dashing manner with the flow of people.

"This martial arts competition is absolutely exciting, and the masters of each family will go out in person, it must be a dragon fight. ”

"Beihai City has not had such a lively scene for many years, this time the Ye family held a martial arts competition, and even the city lord invited him to be a referee. ”

"Tsk, a king-level exercise, five million taels of gold, the Ye family is worthy of being a martial arts family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, with a rich heritage, and if you are an ordinary family, you can't take out these things at all. ”

Zhou Lie mingled in the crowd and heard the voices of countless people around him.

He was very strange about what the purpose of the Ye family was to hold the martial arts competition.

After all, the king-level exercises and five million taels of gold are not a small amount, and the Ye family used them to hold martial arts competitions, so it couldn't be just to make a scene.

Moreover, the location of the martial arts competition was not chosen in the city, but in the southern suburbs of the city, which is even more intriguing.

"What does the Ye family want to do?"

Zhou Lie pondered and meditated, but he didn't see what the Ye family was trying to do, and finally shook his head and simply stopped thinking about it.

He is a master of art and courage, even if there is any situation in the competition, he is fully capable of dealing with it.

"Gongzi Zhou, it's such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

At this moment, behind Zhou Lie, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded.

He turned his head and saw a woman in a long blue dress, with a graceful figure, a noble temperament, and a beautiful appearance that suffocated all men.

It was Lin Qingwan.

Behind the woman was an old man with gray hair, hunched over and holding a cane made of stainless steel.

When Zhou Lie saw this woman, he frowned, ignored her, and continued to bury his head in the road.

Lin Qingwan hurriedly caught up, with a charming smile on her face: "Gongzi Zhou is going to participate in the martial arts competition, Steward Wang and I happen to be going too, let's stop by and talk along the way." ”

"I don't know you well, I don't have anything to talk about, if you pester me again, don't blame me for being rude. ”

Zhou Lie's face was indifferent, and after glancing at Lin Qingwan, he strode away directly.

His speed was extremely fast, and he was still in place just now, and after a few breaths, the person had already appeared dozens of meters away.

Lin Qingwan wanted to catch up, but now that Zhou Lie had already disappeared into the sea of people, she couldn't help but stomp her feet in anger.

"Miss, who is he, what an arrogant boy. ”

The old man, Steward Wang, walked up and asked in a deep voice.

"He is the martial arts genius who defeated the Ye family's father and son, a rare martial arts genius in the world. ”

Lin Qingwan said: "In addition, the Seven Treasure Xuanmen Pill also has a lot to do with him, if we can make friends with him, our Lin family can easily obtain the agency of the Seven Treasure Xuanmen Pill in Yanjing City." ”

"That kid just now, is the character you said in your mouth, comparable to Ouyang Jue in the future?"

After hearing this, Steward Wang shook his head and said: "The old slave has just seen his cultivation, it's just a beginner Xuanwu realm, this kind of weak ant, the old slave can be pressed to death with one finger." ”

"That's natural, you are always a cultivator in the Divine Martial Realm, the number one master of our Lin family, it is easy to kill him. ”

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
