636. The Situation Here! (Part 2)
Volume V
Chapter 636
There is no doubt that the representatives sent by the Spirit Beast Sect this time surprised everyone and brought them one "surprise" after another!
Especially the royal family of Zhao State, the fighting event has just been held, and it is a great shame to directly lose a candidate!
Fortunately, in the follow-up battle, Jiang Hao had no intention of making a move at all, and the royal family of Zhao State regained some face.
But even so, the disciples of the Zhao Imperial Family and the Taishang Sect couldn't help but feel terrified when they saw Jiang Hao's gaze fall on the representatives of both sides!
Jiang Hao only played two games, the first one was defeated by Gu Junming, and the second one directly didn't give Gu Junming any chance to resist, and killed him with one punch, which was extremely fierce!
Compared with Jiang Hao, who was extremely ruthless, Yuan Wangshu's performance was not so eye-catching.
But when facing Tang Jinpeng of the Danding faction, he also showed good strength and means, which made everyone's impression change!
Before the game, all factions were constantly sneering, thinking that the Spirit Beast Sect was too conceited, and even letting some junior disciples participate in the fighting event was tantamount to asking for their own death!
But now it seems that the arrangement of the Spirit Beast Sect is actually very reasonable, and it is not as superficial as they thought at all!
The Spirit Beast Sect has always had a tough style, and in the previous fighting events, it often faced the royal family of Zhao State, and it was full of gunpowder.
And this time, the quality of the disciples sent by the Spirit Beast Sect was worrying, which once gave the various sects a delusion.
Now it seems that the Spirit Beast Sect is not unprepared, but deliberate!
As for what the true purpose of the Spirit Beast Sect was, no one could guess.
If they knew that the purpose of the Spirit Beast Sect's attendance at the grand event this time was to kill all the five representatives of the Zhao Imperial Family, they would probably be shocked!
Because in the previous Xiling Event, the representatives sent by the royal family of Zhao were all top masters, and they rarely failed!
Therefore, every time the Xi Ling Secret Realm Fighting Law Grand Meeting was held, the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom was a well-deserved leader, and the Spirit Beast Sect followed closely behind.
It is not so much that this is a battle between various factions, but rather that it is a personal show between the royal family of Zhao State and the Spirit Beast Sect!
During this period, the pride of the heavens and the top generations who emerged abounded, so that the disciples of other sects could only be reduced to foils!
Of course, it's not that the other sects haven't produced any top-notch disciples, it's just that their number is not worth mentioning compared to these two major forces!
Especially the short-lived "Lin Xu" of the Spirit Beast Sect more than twenty years ago, once put everyone in the younger generation in Zhao Kingdom in danger!
Lin Xu alone overwhelmed all the brilliance and demeanor of his peers, and truly achieved "a glance at the mountains" and "the height is not cold"!
It's a pity that the Spirit Beast Sect changed greatly, Lin Xu defected, and his legend also came to an end in that era, and he has not been seen since.
After the death of Lin Xu's legend, the younger generation of Zhao finally got a respite, but Lin Xu's deeds were still a shadow hanging over their heads.
Therefore, in the past eighteen years, several other major sect forces other than the Spirit Beast Sect have begun to devote themselves to cultivating the talents of their subordinates, so as to speed up the pace of catching up.
And the Spirit Beast Sect experienced a great tribulation, which was equivalent to standing still and stagnating, which made the other major sects get closer.
Otherwise, with the grand occasion of the Spirit Beast Sect at that time, the strength of the heyday might be comparable to the sum of the various factions, how could it negotiate peace with the royal family of the Zhao State?
It was precisely because of the growing sense of urgency among the various sects that many of their disciples were stimulated, and a large number of rare geniuses gradually emerged.
Such as Wu Hengzhou and Qi Gonglei of Taiqing Xuanmen, Han Feng and Tao Qing of the Danding Sword Sect, and Lin Jing, the saint of the Mending Heaven Sect, etc., are all top leaders in this period!
As for the Zhao royal family and the Taishang Sect, they have been in a strong position since the beginning of their rise, so the young masters under them are naturally numerous.
For example, the true disciples of the four masters of the Prison Heaven Division, as well as the strong soldiers under the command of the three Zhao State powerhouses, each of them is extremely fierce and difficult to meet opponents!
If the six major forces in the territory of Zhao State hold a grand meeting and let the top leaders under the sect give it a go, it may show an unprecedented grand occasion!
It's just that this kind of grand event is extremely rare, and it has not been held several times since the founding of the Zhao State.
Therefore, the top elites of each faction have only heard of each other, and have not had a substantive confrontation, and can only define each other's level through hearsay.
Among them, there is also a list in Zhao that is not favored, called the "Prison Heaven List", which lists the names of young leaders in Zhao Realm.
It's just that, as the name suggests, the compiler of this list is an important member of the Heavenly Supervision Division, so most of this list is set up with a bit of subjective imagery.
The "Heaven Prison List" will include a total of twenty young leaders with top-notch qualifications and good cultivation in the Zhao Kingdom, which naturally includes the five super sects outside the royal family.
However, what makes people scoff is that almost all of the top ten places on this list are occupied by the leaders of the Zhao Imperial Family and the Taishang Sect, while the elites of other sects are mostly behind the top ten!
Therefore, it is not so much that the "Prison Heaven List" is a list of geniuses within the Zhao realm, but rather a piece of waste paper for the self-satisfaction of the Zhao royal family and the Taishang Sect.
When the top leaders of each faction learn that their names have been included in the "Heaven Prison List", not only will they not feel honored, but they will be disgusted and even dirty!
The royal family of Zhao is also extremely thick-skinned, and they don't pay attention to the reactions of various factions at all, and are still immersed in self-satisfaction.
Of course, there was a big change in the "Heaven Prison List" twenty years ago, and the top of the list undoubtedly became Lin Xu of the Spirit Beast Sect, while the others all regressed by one place!
Although the key members of the Heaven Supervision Division in charge of this list also felt that it was inappropriate, it could not change the fact that Lin Xu was ahead of the younger generation.
Lin Xu's existence is like a barrier between heaven and earth, covering the light of all the younger generations.
And after Lin Xu disappeared, the royal family of Zhao naturally removed his name from the list as a matter of course.
In the following eighteen years, the Prison Heaven Division was still cheeky and changed its methods to compile this list, even if no one recognized it, he insisted on going his own way, which made all factions laugh for a while.
On today's "Prison Heaven List", there are still seven of the top ten people from the royal family and the Taishang Sect, and the last three are Han Feng of the Danding Sword Sect, Jiang Xiaoyue of the Spirit Beast Sect, and Wu Hengzhou of the Taiqing Xuanmen!
After all, this list is released once every five years, and those names that have been famous for a long time will be replaced by rising stars.
To some extent, this list is a recognition of the leaders of various factions, but it is disgraceful that the top seven are all royal eagle dogs.
In the eyes of the disciples of various factions, the "Heaven Prison List" is actually like a "hunting list", and all geniuses on it who are not under the command of the royal family and its allies will become their assassination targets!
There was once a top leader in a certain sect who was ambushed by gangsters when he went out and was seriously injured, which once made the monks in Zhao Kingdom panic!
The royal family of Zhao State flatly denied the matter, insisting that this was a vendetta and not the royal family.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that these sneak attacks and assassinations are from the hands of the royal family, but the latter will never admit it.
The royal family has done so many crimes over the years, but no one will really trouble the royal family, unless it is a long life.
Therefore, even if the leader of the sect dies, the various factions dare not speak out, and can only smash their teeth and swallow in their stomachs.
It is precisely because of such bad deeds that the royal family of Zhao has become the target of common hatred of other forces.
As long as they get the opportunity, the various factions will unceremoniously fight back, so that the Zhao royal family will suffer a dark loss!
The friction between the royal family of Zhao and the major sects in the Zhao realm has been a long time, and it is not a matter of one or two days.
Both sides suffered casualties and losses of varying degrees, but neither of them really came to the fore.
As long as they don't shake their respective core interests, then the two sides will not tear their faces!
Unless one day, the royal family of Zhao State completely bares its fangs and wants to fight to the death with the super sect.
And vice versa.
If a war between sects and royalty breaks out, it will inevitably be a protracted and vicious war, and its battlefield will span the entire territory of the Zhao Kingdom!
At that time, the entire territory of the Zhao State will be in dire straits, and countless civilians and strong people will be affected, and none of them will be spared!
It is precisely because of this that the factions and the royal family did not choose to start a war rashly.
Otherwise, once the war is opened, there is no possibility of giving up easily!
......
Taiyuan County, the scene of the Xiling Festival.
At this time, Yuan Wangshu and Tang Jinpeng fought together again, and it was Tang Jinpeng who had been on the defensive before who launched the attack!
In the war of attrition, he had already realized the mistake of his strategy, and immediately reversed course, ready to strive for a quick victory!
If he continued to delay like this, Yuan Wangshu would not have exhausted his true qi, and Tang Jinpeng himself would fall first!
At this time, the two flew to each other, and the treasure money was constantly bombarded in the air by the Yuan Magnetic Flying Sword, splashing pieces of sword qi sparks!
The confrontation between the two was evenly matched, and no one took the lead.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the two are still evenly matched, Tang Jinpeng has fallen behind.
His cultivation is two levels higher than Yuan Wangshu, and with the blessing of the secret technique of the Danding Sword Sect, he can exert a stronger strength, comparable to the peak of the seventh layer of delusional dust!
But even so, he failed to win quickly in the fight with Yuan Wangshu, but fell into a stalemate again!
As the magic weapons of the two continued to bombard each other in the air, the two did not forget to cast the occult method and collide in the air above the ring.
For a while, fire beasts, ice phoenixes, blazing flames, and dark ice were constantly intertwined, as if a fantasy net was woven in the air.
Both of them used a straightforward confrontation, and the occult method and magic weapon went hand in hand, and it was still difficult to distinguish the winner for a while!
They have fought each other for sixty or seventy rounds since the start of the battle, and they have not played a clear advantage.
But the fight between the two was very ornamental, and once caused a wave in the audience.
The fierce battle has been going on for a long time, and both of them have already consumed a lot of true qi, and they are a little unbearable.
At this time, Tang Jinpeng felt even more uncomfortable, because the true qi in his body was already less than one percent, and he couldn't hold on for long.
The scale of spiritual power absorbed by the first-grade Xuanbing Flying Sword was huge, and Tang Jinpeng fed at least forty percent of his true qi to it!
On the other hand, Yuan Wangshu also showed fatigue, but he was much better than Tang Jinpeng.
There is still a lot of surplus of true qi in his body, accounting for about thirty percent, which is far more than nearly twice as much as Tang Jinpeng!
This is all thanks to the "chilled jackfruit", Yuan Wangshu was able to fight with Tang Jinpeng for so long.
Otherwise, with Yuan Wangshu's own strength alone, he might have fallen into disadvantage in fifty rounds!
At this time, he had already vaguely sensed that Tang Jinpeng's state was not good, and his heart became more calm.
If Tang Jinpeng doesn't come up with any more kills, then in less than five rounds, he will be completely defeated!
The Xuanbing Flying Sword had overwhelmed his supply of True Qi, and he had already begun to overwhelm it.
And Tang Jinpeng seemed to realize this, and after withdrawing and retreating, out of Yuan Wangshu's attack range, he seemed to have made some kind of decision.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Wangshu immediately realized that it seemed that Tang Jinpeng was ready to perform the strongest blow.
In the next second, Tang Jinpeng took a deep breath, then put his palms together, and then the robes around him swelled violently, and an astonishing sword aura permeated from it!
