XVI. The First War

Zuo Ling, who was standing in the middle of the venue, glanced at Zhang Longqian and Liao Lei, who slowly walked out of the passage, and then announced aloud to the surroundings: "In the third competition in the region, Liao Lei, a middle-aged student of the doctor, and Zhang Longqian, a middle-aged student of the Yin-Yang family, will face Shu Hengxu and Tian Li, the middle-aged students of the doctor. ”

Stepping into the arena and glancing at the expressionless woman opposite from a distance, and then at the tall and thin man beside her, Liao Lei's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and she spoke to Zhang Longqian in a deep voice.

"Be careful, both of them are Gu."

Shu Hengxu, who was almost as tall as Liao Lei, and Tian Li, who was a head shorter than him, both looked at Zhang Longqian and the two of them with calm faces, their pale faces did not show the slightest emotion, and they were as calm as corpses, which made Zhang Longqian, who was looking at them, feel uncomfortable for a while, she subconsciously looked away, looked at Liao Lei and asked in a low voice: "Anyway, it is stipulated that you can't use Gu, it should be fine, right?" ”

Looking at the two opponents who didn't have any communication with each other, just standing quietly, Liao Lei's voice was a little lower: "The problem is, according to my previous investigation, they are just ordinary medical practitioners, not Gu art families. ”

Zhang Longqian couldn't help but be stunned by these words, thinking that she didn't know much about Liao Lei's intelligence gathering ability after all, and there was also the possibility that he was negligent, so he said: "Maybe they come from some unknown small family or sect that teaches Gu arts?" ”

"It's impossible for me to have such negligence, and besides, the academy won't accept disciples from the Gu Sect." After answering categorically, Liao Lei looked at the two of them with a more solemn gaze, "I'm afraid...... They are self-taught Gu arts. ”

While approaching the middle of the field at Zuo Ling's signal, Zhang Longqian asked in confusion: "Will there be any problems if you study by yourself?" ”

"Most of the self-taught ones are half-hearted." Looking at the eyes of the two of them that were almost identical, no matter what they looked at, Liao Lei narrowed her eyes slightly, "And anyone who deals with Gu people, who are half-guys, is much more terrifying than people who are skilled in Gu arts." ”

Zhang Longqian didn't understand this very well, she was about to continue to ask, but she had already walked to the middle of the field, and listened to Zuo Ling said: "The two groups will fight, no limit to means, no time limit, once one side admits defeat or lands on the sidelines, or loses combat effectiveness, the winner will be determined." After saying this sentence, which must be repeated in every game, he walked to the sidelines again and said loudly: "The ban is on." ”

Liao Lei raised her eyes to look at the colorful forbidden light, and said in a low voice: "The plan remains the same, but if you encounter anything, try to use fire spells, and don't use other five element attributes." ”

Zhang Longqian immediately nodded to show that he understood, and listened to Zuo Ling, who was outside the court, open his mouth to announce.

"It's game on."

As soon as the words fell, Shu Hengxu and Tian Li's cheeks were flushed with abnormal colors at the same time.

The two looked strange, their faces were as pale as paper, but their cheeks were red, as if they had been seriously injured and blood was gushing up, as if they would vomit blood at any moment.

Liao Lei squinted her eyes slightly, lowered her body slightly, and then rushed out like a sharp arrow off the string, Zhang Longqian stood in place, chanting a mantra in a low voice, the seal in her hand changed slightly, and a transparent light curtain appeared in front of her between her hands, and then she stretched out her hand and pointed at it, and a transparent coat appeared on Liao Lei's body, protecting him tightly.

Tian Li glanced at Liao Lei, who was close to him, turned around and retreated, but Shu Hengxu took a step forward to meet him, his expression was indifferent and he quickly pinched the seal, and a crystal light went straight to Liao Lei's door. At the same time, Tian Li's body turned around and sneaked towards Zhang Long at a very fast speed.

When Liao Lei and Zhang Longqian were discussing in the practice field before, although Liao Lei didn't know that Zhang Longqian could already do no spells, but the slightly disguised spell casting speed was enough to surprise him, so he quickly came up with a simple and easy plan: Liao Lei attacked first, and Zhang Longqian stayed in place to cast auxiliary spells - as a decoy.

Anyone will think that a "mortal who has just graduated from the junior class" must be easier to deal with than a "poisonous son from a family", so the opponent's target must be Zhang Longqian. In addition, Zhang Longqian deliberately only used auxiliary spells, and also extended the casting time, the opponent will feel that she is weaker, at this time, as long as the opponent is a little lax psychologically, Zhang Longqian will counterattack back at a faster speed, and it will be easy to catch him off guard.

Of course, the other party didn't dare to let the weaker person deal with the "poisonous son" Liao Lei, so Zhang Longqian's side should be better cleaned up, if the opponent was light enough, it was not completely impossible to even kill with one hit.

However, after seeing Shu Hengxu and Tian Li's empty eyes when she first entered, Liao Lei knew that it was no longer possible to defeat the enemy with one move, but it was definitely possible to make the other party suffer a loss. Now seeing that Tian Li, who was weaker than Shu Hengxu, rushed towards Zhang Longqian, Liao Lei knew in her heart that as long as Zhang Longqian was cautious and relied on melee spells to cooperate with her amazing martial arts, even if Tian Li was a person who could use Gu, Zhang Longqian would not be hurt at all, on the contrary, her attack should still receive good results.

It didn't seem to be aware of Liao Lei and Zhang Longqian's true intentions at all, Tian Li still rushed towards Zhang Longqian with an expressionless face, which made Zhang Longqian's heart settle a little, although she looked like a person who participated in the battle for the first time was a little overwhelmed by Tian Li's rapid approach, but her eyes kept staring at Tian Li, secretly calmly calculating the distance between the two, and preparing to wait for Tian Li to enter the attack range before she suddenly shot and took her by surprise.

However, in a few breaths, Tian Li crashed straight into Zhang Longqian's attack range, and the best time to attack had come.

But Zhang Longqian hasn't done it yet.

The distance between the two was already very close, close enough for Zhang Longqian to clearly see Tian Li's eyes, those eyes that couldn't read any color, could only see endless hollow eyes.

The palm with the sparkling light was about to grab towards Zhang Long's hidden door, and a cold aura suddenly rolled out from Tian Li's body.

Killing Intent.

Empty, but clear killing intent.

Just when he was about to be hit by Tian Li, Zhang Longqian retreated violently as if he had been stung by a bee.

The attack that originally came out of the trend fell short, Tian Li immediately adjusted his movements and chased away, Zhang Longqian had neither defense nor counterattack, she just retreated frequently, dodging Tian Li's attack, but the movements were a little stiff and chaotic, not as orderly as she usually does, as if she had lost her calm.

"Long Qian, what's wrong?"

I don't know what Zhang Long's hidden others still think, but Bai Lu couldn't help but be puzzled, she asked Zhou Miao beside her for answers, but Zhou Miao's eyes were also puzzled.

Only Ji Haiyun, who was frowning next to him, had a little clarity in his eyes.
