Chapter Ninety-Four: Emperor Wu [Second Update]
Not long after the arrival of the Blue Sword Sect, Lin Chen saw two more familiar sects, which were the Sword Fist Sect and the Zixiao Sect that had come to snatch the cheats while Zhou Yunshen was dead.
Li Gang of the Sword Fist Sect and Sword Elder of Zixiao Sect both noticed Lin Chen, their faces were slightly gloomy, and then they ignored the past, and their eyes shifted to the most high-profile Green Sword Sect and others in the audience.
According to the rules of the competition, they may not collide with Lin Chen, but if they want to compete for the town seal, they must pass the level of the Blue Sword Sect!
Gradually, more and more sects attended.
Suddenly, there was another exclamation outside.
Lin Chen and Wang Xinchan looked at it together, and saw two blood-stained figures walking in, with multiple wounds on their bodies, supporting each other, their eyes full of anger and ruthlessness, and after arriving at the scene, they glanced at the people of the Blue Sword Sect viciously, and then found a place to sit down.
"Have they been ambushed from the sidelines?" Chu Wu said.
Wang Xinchan's eyes were solemn, and he said, "The battle has already begun, since last night when we were poisoned. ”
"Some people want to reduce the number of people by other means. Wu Yan glanced at the backs of the Blue Sword Sect and the others, and said in a low voice.
Chu Wu was puzzled: "But how do they know who will fight against them? Doing such a thing may just clear the way for others." ”
"That's the problem. Lin Chen said slowly: "Maybe the list of battles has already been decided!"
Chu Wu was taken aback, glanced around, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Didn't the battle come by drawing lots on the spot?"
Wang Xinchan and Wu Yan frowned, they were also wondering about this.
"Lottery can also be faked. Lin Chen squinted slightly, "I've probably found out the sect that poisoned us, and I'll be able to verify it later." ”
The four were taken aback again.
Lin Chen didn't elaborate, in fact, he had found some targets not long after entering the market.
Through the relationship of the attribute panel, he could see a lot of clues, most of the sects present had a peaceful relationship with him, even if there were many relationships like "hostility", they were also individual individuals.
But there was one sect that was hostile to him by all the staff.
This sect he had not been in contact with before, so it was the focus of suspicion.
When the time was close to nine o'clock, the referee of the competition finally arrived, and they were three big men in the town's martial arts hall, all wearing martial arts uniforms, extremely solemn and formal.
The many sects present were no strangers to these three, namely the hall master of the small town martial hall, and the two hall elders!
Lin Chen was also looking at the three of them.
The hall master looks to be in his seventies, about the same age as the old man, and his physical attributes have actually broken through the limit, exceeding 20 points, and the strongest single attribute is arm strength, reaching 24 points!
Judging from the following weapon mastery, this hall master uses the stick method, has reached the specialization level, and has mastered a lot of stick skills.
The other two palace elders, one with the same gray hair, and the other younger, middle-aged in their forties, with a full beard, a wide face and deep eyes, and a very majestic expression.
The physical attributes of these two people are similar to those of the Jade Dragon real person, and they are both stuck below the limit of 20 points.
"It seems that the number one powerhouse in the town of this old man of the Jade Dragon does not include the powerhouses in the Martial Palace. Lin Chen secretly said in his heart, he was embarrassed for the old man of Yulong, not to mention the excessively strong old man, even if it was these two palace elders, they could also talk to the old man of Yulong.
As for the hall master, he can also pick up the old man of the jade dragon and beat him.
From this point, he also saw the essence of the martial hall, only the town-level martial hall subdivided to the very end, there are such strong people who surpass the limit, those county-level martial halls, and even the martial halls in the big city, what kind of characters will appear?
"Be quiet. ”
At this time, the three martial hall powerhouses walked to the ring in the eyes of the audience, and the hall master old man standing in the middle picked up a book sandwiched under his armpit, turned a few pages, and then looked up and glanced at the audience, and said: "The time is almost up, close the passage, and the sects that are not present will be counted as abstentions." ”
His voice was old and calm, but the voice spread throughout the square for a while, and everyone could hear it clearly.
The profound internal strength shown by this hand alone has made many people's faces change color.
The guards on the periphery of the square immediately closed all passages, prohibiting others from entering or leaving.
"Before the start of the Zhenyin War, let us be grateful to Emperor Wu, who brought us peace ......," the hall master said solemnly.
Lin Chen has already known in the past few days that the founder of the Martial Palace is Emperor Wu, known as the strongest man in the world, a god who walks on the ground!
There are countless legends and deeds about Emperor Wu, but they are so old that it is inevitable that they will be suspected of exaggeration.
After a while, after the hall master and old man finished saying a lengthy opening speech, he directly began to announce the rules.
The heads of all the major factions have memorized the rules like a stream, but they can't wait and are ready to play.
The rules are simple, according to the lottery method, the two face off.
When the top four are decided, as the overlord of the previous session, the Blue Sword Sect will appear and participate in the competition.
The rules of the battle are also very simple and rude, the two sects that are drawn each send their own disciples to be the masters in the ring, until all five members of the opposing sect are defeated!
Each sect has a maximum of five places, and if they are all defeated, they lose the battle.
"Let's start the lot!"
When a martial guard came to the ring with a lottery box, the hall master and the old man announced.
The next moment, the old man of the hall master read a sect that Lin Chen was familiar with according to the register in his hand, "The first one, the Bronze Bone Gate, please come up and draw lots." ”
Many people's eyes searched around and found the location of the bronze bone gate and others.
"They were the first to play, and they were unlucky. Wu Yan gloated.
Lin Chen saw where the bronze bone gate was sitting, Fan Lie's shoulders were still wrapped in bandages, his injuries had not healed, and his complexion looked a little haggard, and the disciples around him were all burly and strong men, so they were more conspicuous.
"Go ahead. Fan Lie said to the eldest disciple beside him.
He Ze took a deep breath, got up and walked to the ring, first saluted the three big men in the Martial Palace, and then reached out and grabbed the lottery box, and after a while, he took out a note and opened it to take a look.
The middle-aged hall elder took the note in his hand and announced, "Bronze Bone Gate battle, Sword Xuanmen!"
In the crowd, several figures stood up, dressed in silver-gray clothes, all armed with swords, and their breath was magnificent.
"I don't know if they can win. Wang Xinchan's eyes were solemn, he had lost to He Ze before, so for him, this battle could also be used as a key battle to judge the strength of other sects.
The hall master announced the start of the battle, and left the ring with the others and the lottery box.
He Ze went down, and the first person sent to guard by the Bronze Bone Gate was Lei Cheng.
A teenager walked out of Jian Xuanmen, and after the two sides came on the field, they exchanged cruel words, and when the gong sounded, they quickly shot.
"This bronze bone gate is going to lose. Lin Chen said.
Among the disciples of the Sword Xuanmen, there are two people whose attributes are slightly stronger than He Ze, and the young man who is now on the field is the weakest one among them, but his attributes are also on a par with Lei Cheng.
The other party obviously knew about the situation of the various disciples of the Bronze Bone Sect, so the disciples sent were also very targeted.
In other words, the other party knows not only about the Bronze Bone Sect, but about all other sects that have a certain threat.
The audience didn't know anything about other sects, and probably only Lin Chen was the only one.
Several people were a little surprised when they heard Lin Chen's narrated words, and they didn't know how Lin Chen saw it.
Soon, the battle on the field ended, Lei Cheng was covered in injuries and was defeated and stepped down.
The boy continued to guard, and then the Bronze Bone Gate sent a second person.
Half an hour later.
All five people of the Bronze Bone Gate were defeated, and He Ze's arm was cut off on the spot and directly crippled!
The rules of the Zhenyin Ring Battle are similar to the rules of other competitions, as long as it is not a killing person on the spot, it is not a foul, as for cripplement, this is the most basic norm in martial arts competitions.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who shy away from practicing martial arts.
Although martial artists can bring great glory and power, it is for martial arts masters, and most martial artists die halfway before they grow up, or become stepping stones and foils for others.
In the first battle, the Bronze Bone Gate was defeated, and the Sword Xuanmen was successfully promoted.
Wang Xinchan fell silent, He Ze, who defeated him last time, was actually scrapped in the first battle, and if he went up, the result would not be too good.
Soon, the second draw began.
After a fierce battle, there were more blood stains in the ring.
Duanmu Rong, who was beside Lin Chen, had already passed out at this moment, and Chu Wu also intimately covered her with a coat to prevent her from catching a cold. And such a picture fell into the eyes of the other sects sitting nearby, and it became very arrogant.
In such a tense battle, someone dares to sleep soundly, is this too indifferent to others?
