Chapter 37, an unexpected ending
Archie listened to the sound coming from the ruins, and he was a little shocked in his heart.
Yun Li stood up from the ruins, his gray robe had some more blood stains, and his face was a little embarrassed.
He looked at Archie and said, "Amazing, I have never participated in the Celestial Star Competition before, because at that time I thought that my sword was not very good, and my master was not a grandmaster, so I always thought about waiting for my sword to be sharp enough to come back, I have never seen a person like you, with a cultivation like you, can show such terrible combat power, so I think you are amazing." ”
Archie looked at him, and then said, "You are also amazing, I don't have much confidence in winning against you, this is something I have never encountered before, even if it is Shen Fengtu before, I have not been like this, so you are really amazing." ”
Yunli looked at him and said, "I don't know why, I'm starting to like you a little, don't ask me why, because I don't know either, but this year, since I'm here, I must be in the top ten, so I'm ready to admit defeat, because if I continue to fight with you, maybe I can win, but I will inevitably pay a great price, which will only cheapen others, anyway, entering the top ten is a round-robin, I don't need to fight with you here at all." ”
After Yunli finished speaking, he didn't wait for Archie to reply, he stretched out his hand to signal the referee, he admitted defeat, and then walked down, leaving only Archie and the referee with an surprised face, as well as the discussion of countless audiences in the audience.
Archie originally thought that there would be another bitter battle, but he didn't expect such a dramatic scene to happen.
Not only did he feel dramatic, but even the referee was confused, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, but this was within the scope allowed by the rules, since Yunli had already admitted defeat, he could only announce that the winner of this game was Archie.
After stepping off the stage, Mu Chensi said to Archie, "This Taoist priest is very strong, and at the same time very smart, he is a very difficult person. ”
Archie nodded in agreement, and then said, "A person who can look directly at victory must be good, but a person who can take the initiative to admit defeat, and can calmly choose to admit defeat under the condition of his own strong strength, must be better, because such a person will never lose his mind, but is the most terrible type of person." ”
While the two were talking, Tang Hao came over and handed Archie two pills, asking him to recover and heal as soon as possible, because there was still a battle ahead.
However, the next match was unexpected by everyone, including Archie.
Originally, nineteen into ten was a round-robin match, but there was one who gave up the game at the beginning because of a serious injury, and there were eighteen people left, and many people found that in fact, this game can also be regarded as a knockout game, so that they can directly defeat the opponent and lose the ability to continue playing, so that they only need to win this round to ensure that they enter the top ten.
As a result, the next game became the highest casualty rate in the past two days, and the intensity of the game also reached the peak since the start of the game, and the final result was that the back sixteen people, eight people successfully advanced, and then almost all the remaining people were too injured to continue to participate in the round-robin match.
The only one who can make a move is one Yunli, and then Yunli just lay down and entered the top ten.
The top ten people who won this time are, Bai Qi of Zhushan Sword Academy, Mu Chensi, Bai Xianguan Yunli, Wei Zheyu of Fuyun Lou, Chen Guan of Qingshan Sword Sect, Guan Yitian, Zhang Liang of Sword Pavilion, Fan Rou of Qingyin Jianzhai, Zhao Yuanyuan, and Scattered Cultivation Extraordinary.
In this way, the second day of the competition ended unexpectedly, but judging from the promotion list, the five major cultivation sites were still the biggest winners, which was similar to the promotion situation in previous years, and the most unexpected promotion personnel should be Yunli and the scattered cultivator named Luo Extraordinary.
The most regrettable thing is that Shen Fengtu, who is the second senior brother of Qingshan Sword Sect, and the senior sister of Qingyin Sword Zhai, everyone thinks that these two should be in the top ten.
However, the game is like this, there are always some unexpected things that happen, so everyone can only accept such a result.
After the game, Archie and Mu Chensi followed Tang Hao back to the Sword Academy.
............
At night, Fenghualou was originally an industry that belonged to the boss of Xi, but after the turmoil that night, Fenghualou has now returned to the black market.
Lin Yue and Han Ziyu were sitting in the box on the second floor, when a figure walked into the room and said, "Boss, are you okay?"
Lin Yue said, "It's okay, have you found out who people?"
The man said, "It seems that they are all killers from other places, not from Kyoto." ”
Lin Yue waved her hand and motioned for this person to retreat.
Then he started thinking about something.
Compared with the cultivators in the temples, the characters in the market have different ways and means, and to put it bluntly, the way of survival is different.
Those characters who eat in the market, no matter what kind of role they are, still abide by the rules of the market.
That's why there are so many blatant gray trades in the market, although they are gray trades, but existence is reasonable, and different people have different ways of living.
For example, those who collect money to buy their lives, they are very pure to do things for money, because they want it directly, so things are also very straightforward.
Lin Yue had just suffered an assassination here, and the result was that the killer had failed.
He was thinking, who else in Xianyang City now dared to assassinate him so blatantly?
And it took so much effort to arrange so many people, but there was no real weighty person, although these killers are very professional, but in terms of their cultivation, it is completely impossible to participate in such an assassination mission under normal circumstances, after all, Lin Yue is not an ordinary character in the rivers and lakes, and his own cultivation is even stronger, these people don't seem to be here to assassinate at all, but like they are here to die.
He didn't believe anyone would do such a stupid thing unless he saw it with his own eyes, but what was the purpose of sending these people here to die?
Was it just to get a glimpse of him, to see if he was hurt that night, or to see who else was around him.
After a while, Lin Yue shook her head and said, "I really can't figure out such a meaningless thing, so don't think about it at all, it's better to drink." ”
Han Ziyu said, "I don't feel like it's killing you, maybe it's a bureau specially arranged to kill Boss Xi, but they don't know that Boss Xi is dead, so they are still carrying out the task according to the normal plan, you can check if Boss Xi originally arranged to go to Fenghua Tower tonight." ”
When Lin Yue heard this, she immediately called her subordinates to investigate.
After a while, someone came in and told him that the result was that Boss Xi was indeed going to talk to someone in Fenghua Building today.
After Lin Yue heard this, she said, "The problem is that these killing bosses are not enough." ”
Han Ziyu said, "Maybe they have other back-ups, it's just because the back-hands know the news that Boss Xi has died, and they haven't had time to send a message to these killers to retreat, so this scene just happened." ”
Lin Yue nodded and said, "In this case, it will be explained." ”
Han Ziyu said, "It seems that nothing else will happen tonight, I'm leaving." ”
Lin Yue said, "Thank you, junior sister. ”
Han Ziyu nodded, turned around and walked out.
