Chapter Twenty-Nine: The First War

After Lao Tan handed over the token, he quickly stood with a group of players, almost all of whom were children of the Xiao family, that is to say, they all had the surname Xiao, and there were almost no people with foreign surnames like Lao Tan.

"Hey, where are you from, why are you standing here?" A fat man in yellow clothes deliberately bumped into Lao Tan when he walked over, and then said contemptuously.

"I'm a kitchen handyman in the outer courtyard, and I'm here to participate in the Mountain Gate Contest today." Lao Tan patted the place where he was hit, and then said lightly.

"Kitchen handyman?" The fat man in yellow grinned and said to a companion beside him: "When will our Xiao family even have a subordinate to participate in the Shanmen Competition?" ”

The companion of the fat man in yellow was a young man in Mai with long hair in a shawl and a big cake face, and he couldn't help but smile when he heard the fat man in yellow speak: "I haven't heard of it, if all the handymen can come to participate in the small competition of the mountain gate, then what are we children of the Xiao family?" ”

"Did you hear that? Why don't you get out right away? The fat man in yellow then turned his head and shouted to Old Tan.

Lao Tan was unmoved, still standing there, as if he was blind to the fat man in yellow in front of him. The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and just as he was about to speak, Lao Tan suddenly said, "Xiao Bei, right?" I advise you not to come nonsense? The head of your Xiao family is not far away, if you make trouble at this time, maybe Xiaobi will be eliminated before he starts. ”

The fat man in yellow looked at Lao Tan in surprise, his expression was slightly flustered, "You...... How do you know my name? ”

Lao Tan indifferently looked at the name suspended on the other party's head, and said with a half-loud smile: "You don't need to know why, I just want to tell you that this time the Shanmen Xiaobi is open to the entire outer courtyard, and it is not limited to the children of the Xiao family. ”

"Xiao Ao?" The fat man in yellow, that is, Xiao Bei, heard this, and his face returned to normal, "It turns out that you are recommended by Xiao Ao, hmph, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

Xiao Ao is indeed quite famous in the outer courtyard, and generally the children of the Xiao family dare not confront him, after learning that Lao Tan has Xiao Ao's support, Xiao Bei and his companion left quickly.

Such a small episode passed quickly, and Lao Tan didn't care, still standing there and waiting.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Hao, the head of the Xiao family, once again ascended the rostrum and announced: "I now announce that the annual mountain gate small competition ...... Begin! ”

As Xiao Hao's voice fell, the four corners of the venue played the drums, and under the gaze of the four major families and the children of the Xiao family, the four rings each boarded a disciple from the courtyard of the Xiao family who acted as a referee.

"Listen, Xiaobi's rules are very simple, set the time of a stick of incense, and the person who knocks the opponent out of the ring or knocks him to the ground wins, and if he can't tell the winner after the timeout, the referee is the judge. Finally, the person whose name is pronounced for a while immediately goes to the ring, don't be sluggish. "Lao Tan is in the west ring, and a lean man also walked up, the aura emanating from this person's body is very powerful, Lao Tan estimates that his cultivation should be above the seventh layer of qi refining.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Hong."

The man quickly pronounced two names, and then two teenagers came out of the ring, looked at each other, walked into the ring and arched their hands at the man.

The man didn't talk nonsense, and directly said "start" and took two steps back to give up his position.

Lao Tan knew that he didn't have many actual battles, and since it wasn't his turn yet, he had to take this opportunity to see how the aborigines of this world were fighting.

The two men in the ring stood a few feet apart, and after the man announced the start, the two quickly exchanged hands.

As mentioned before, magic weapons are a very rare treasure in the eyes of low-level monks, and small cultivators like the Xiao family's outer courtyard who are below the third level of qi refining, it is impossible for most of them to have such a thing as a magic weapon in their hands.

At this time, the two people in the ring were not so much fighting as two martial arts masters, only to see that Xiao Yan, who was wearing red clothes, shot a palm in the air and hit Xiao Hong, who was wearing green clothes, in the chest.

Seeing the real fighting method, although Lao Tan felt a little disappointed, he still watched the battle between the two attentively.

In fact, there is still a big difference between a monk and a martial arts master among mortals, just like the palm that Xiao Yan made just now, the qi is released, and ordinary mortals have to cultivate to the innate realm to do it, but for monks who have mastered the use of aura, even a small cultivation at the first level of qi refining can achieve this effect.

"Smack!"

Xiao Hong was the first to be hit in the palm of the hand, although his body staggered back two steps but it was not in the way, the monk's body was forged by the aura of the flesh and bones, although it was not copper, iron and bones, but at least the sword was difficult to hurt.

I saw Xiao Hong shout, pull out a short knife behind his back, and after injecting spiritual energy into it, the surface of the short knife immediately made a "buzzing" sound, and a faint white light appeared under the night.

This Xiao Hong actually uses mortal weapons?

Lao Tan was a little surprised, but then he quickly felt that Xiao Hong's approach was not inappropriate, it was actually very common for low-level monks to use mortal weapons as weapons when they lacked magic weapons, and then looked at Xiao Yan on the opposite side, after Xiao Hong showed his weapon, he also pulled out an iron rod from his waist.

"Sonorous!"

The mortal weapon blessed with aura emitted a sharp white light, splashing bursts of fireworks after colliding with each other's golden blows, and the battle between Xiao Yan and Xiao Hong became more and more intense, and they relied on the monk's flexible body to constantly move around the ring and test each other. The speed is not hurried at first, but it is so fast that people can only see the afterimage in the back.

What's even more exaggerated is that as the speed of the two gradually accelerated, a small whirlwind blew in the ring, and that scene was even more exaggerated than the martial arts movies that Lao Tan had seen when he was on Earth, as if two peerless masters were fighting to the death.

Although such a scene was gorgeous and shocking, Lao Tan quickly calmed down, he clearly knew that this level of monk fighting method looked very powerful, maybe in the eyes of ordinary mortals, he could be called a peerless master, but in the eyes of real monks, I am afraid it was just a physical fight that did not enter the stream.

Lao Tan's eyes moved, and he fell to a corner of the ring, and sure enough, he saw that the man who served as the referee was expressionless, obviously not very optimistic about the fighting methods of the two, or disdainful.

Putting away the slightly fluctuating mood just now, Lao Tan put his eyes on the ring again, and just at this time, the results of the two fights came out.

"Bang!"

A ball of fire suddenly erupted in the figures of the two of them who were fighting quickly, and then, one of the figures flew out and fell directly under the ring.

Lao Tan fixed his eyes and saw that the person who fell out of the ring was clearly Xiao Yan, and he saw that his chest was scorched black, and he was lying in pain.

Looking at Xiao Hong, the winner in the ring, he grabbed an old and flashing red talisman in his hand, obviously, it was he who suddenly activated the talisman in his hand just now and knocked Xiao Yan down by surprise.
