Chapter 345: The Trial Begins
At noon the next day, the real trial finally began.
The barracks were already crowded with people, and they were basically all figures with heads and faces in the Fourth Army. Lan Jiu's gaze was slightly raised, and a trace of pride flashed in his heart, he was still very satisfied with such a big pomp.
Now that the war is already tight, so many army generals can be gathered together, which also reflects the importance of this trial.
But when you think about it, it's the same. Earlier, Li Xiaofeng promised that as long as Lan Jiu passed the trial, he would also be given the position of deputy general. That is equivalent to the second-in-command of the Fourth Army, with a high position and power, even above these veterans present.
The barracks are not like officialdom, these old fritters are all hot-blooded masters, how can they be willing to let a stranger ride on their heads easily? Saying that they don't care, it is completely false, and in their hearts, they also really want to see what this young man who wants to be a deputy general is capable of.
"The Fourth Army is the elite division of the Empire, and every step of our move is to abide by the laws of the Empire and the regulations of the Military Department!" Li Xiaofeng said solemnly, "Today, I specially appoint Lan Jiu, the deputy general of the Ninth Army, to serve as the deputy general of our army at the same time... The yellow sky is above and the earth is the proof, and we will test him with the most severe trials!"
The people watching around were not sloppy at all, and a sense of pride rose spontaneously, only to hear them resolutely roar, "Mankind will live forever, and the empire will prosper forever!"
This is the kind of bloody feeling that belongs to the soldiers, there is no struggle for power and profit above the court, and there is no intrigue under the court. Every choice they make and every word they say is to protect this country and protect humanity.
Lan Jiu's eyes raised slightly, and he said firmly, "I'm willing to accept the trial, I don't know, when can it start?"
Li Xiaofeng did smile lightly and said in a low voice, "You can do it at any time... So, now's the time to get started... Your trial is divided into three levels, the first of which is the simplest and is designed to test your personal cultivation. On the battlefield, it is extremely dangerous, and the personal strength of the generals is very important on the battlefield. I don't know you, do you dare to fight?"
"Naturally, you dare!" Lan Jiu nodded firmly, not knowing who was fighting against me.
Lan Jiu's gaze swept away, and his heart eye had thoroughly explored the strength of the few people in front of him. Then he asked in a low voice, "I don't know, who is my opponent?" or rather, General Li, you?"
"Hehe!" Li Xiaofeng did laugh out loud and laughed in a low voice, "That's not it, now that the war is coming, we won't waste our due resources... Your opponent, well, it's very simple, we have selected a pseudo-monarch of the demon clan for you, and he can be regarded as the one with relatively low strength among the demon kings. ”
Lan Jiu was slightly stunned, and Li Yixiang and the others on the side were also shocked. How strong this demon clan king is, they are very clear, even if it is a pseudo-monarch, they almost killed the four of them last time, and now, if they face it alone, does Lan Jiu really have a chance to win?
Murong Yunfan was also shocked, and hurriedly asked, "This... Will General Li's request be a little difficult? You and I know exactly how strong this demon clan's puppet king is. Although Xiao Jiu's talent is outstanding, his seniority is limited after all, and he is a little reluctant to deal with the pseudo-monarch of the Demon Clan!"
"Hehe, Master Hou doesn't have to worry about this, the opponent we choose is naturally determined according to the strength of the cultivator!" Li Xiaofeng did laugh in a low voice, "Since there is no objection, let's start the trial!"
Li Xiaofeng's palm raised slightly, and a void light curtain appeared out of thin air, which was a teleportation magic array constructed by spatial elements.
But I only heard him whisper, "On the other side of this magic array, there is our battlefield. Just ten minutes ago, we had already made an appointment with one of the Demon Kings, and we also sent your information over... Vice General Lan, you have to remember that in the battle on the battlefield, there will be no second person to help, and you and this demon king will not only win or lose, but also decide life and death!"
"Ahh Senior Brother Lan Jiu, you can't agree!" Ah Ke on the side exclaimed.
Xi Tianming also couldn't sit still, and hurriedly shouted, "Yes, the last time we fought against the Mantis Demon King, how badly we lost, junior brother, you also remember." Now, if you are left alone to fight against the Demon Clan's King, I am afraid that it will be nine deaths!"
Xi Tianming's words are natural, and he does not exaggerate the danger in the slightest.
It's just Lan Jiu, but he can't give up, at least, when the outcome is unknown, he is reluctant to give up. With a wave of his sleeve, he directly interrupted everyone's words, and then laughed in a low voice, "It's okay, let me try." I know my state very well, not to mention that I think General Li will definitely not set up a trial that I will lose, am I right?"
Li Xiaofeng didn't answer Lan Jiu's words, but smiled meaningfully, and then asked, "Then I don't know, do you want to go in?"
Lan Jiu also smiled and said firmly, "Go in!"
As the words fell, Lan Jiu gradually walked into the magic teleportation formation. Closely following him were the powerhouses on the human side, and Li Xiaofeng, Murong Yunfan, and Li Yixiang were naturally among them. Just like Lan Jiu said, although it is a battle of life and death, it is only seriously injured at most, and if the other party makes a dead hand, it is impossible for them to be indifferent.
The white light flashed, and the bodies of the Lan Jiu people disappeared in place, and when they reappeared, they were already on a plain.
Around the plains, there were many dense and flourishing trees, and on the sides of these trees were endless blood and flames. Here, once again refreshed the understanding of the battlefield of the Lan Jiu people, and the atmosphere shrouded in the shadow of death actually overwhelmed everyone.
But at this moment, it is not the time to sigh, I saw a few breaths coming from a distance, which was the breath belonging to the demon clan.
Lan Jiu was slightly stunned, and his heart swept away, the strength of these demon clans was very different. Most of them are lord-level demon clans, and the ones with low strength are also elite-level demon clans. And the strongest breaths can only be described in four words: unfathomable, I am afraid that they are all demon kings, and they are also relatively ancient and powerful demon kings.
A few rays of light flashed, and everyone around Lan Jiu also appeared, and their momentum was not inferior to that of the demon clan.
Although Li Xiaofeng's personal strength is not high, the two guards who followed him were both Mahayana realms. In addition to these two people, there are also four masters of the Mahayana realm among the people he transferred, and these are all masters equipped by the emperor of the imperial capital for the fourth army.
Moreover, now that Murong Yunfan is in person, he is already hovering on the verge of the tribulation, and he can be regarded as a master among the masters.
"Haha, I didn't expect that since there are so many masters in the human race today, it's quite the same... Could this be the Marquis of Murong in the imperial capital?" only one of the demon clan kings could be heard asking.
Murong Yunfan is not a good stubble, and said lightly, "Yes, I am your so-called Murong Marquis... There are no less than ten demon kings who died in my hands, including the previous wolf demon kings, who also died at my hands. What's the matter, you're angry? Hehe, I like you guys, you want to hit me but you can't hit me!"
Several people on the human side were stunned, but they didn't expect that Murong Yunfan, who had always been calm, would say such a thing.
"Hehe, what a pair of sharp teeth, it's a pity that this king is in a good mood today, and I don't want to worry more about you!" but I only heard the king continue, "You are not the protagonist today... General Li, we have been at war for so many years, and we can be regarded as old friends. Are you going to let Hou Ye come and stir up the situation today?
When Lan Jiu heard this, he naturally couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and said softly, "Hehe, yes, the person who made the appointment to fight is me, I don't know who you are fighting for?"
The eyes of everyone of the demon clan fell on Lan Jiu one after another, and there was a trace of disdain in their eyes. But I only heard one of the demon clans say contemptuously, "Haha, it's still a hairy boy? With such a low strength, you can make an appointment with me to fight? Don't you deliberately look for abuse and death?"
Lan Jiu's gaze frowned slightly, his gaze froze, and he said angrily, "Hehe, if you are qualified enough, you will know if you try it!"
As the words fell, six rays of light emerged from Lan Jiu's palm, gradually turning into the appearance of a phantom sword. Lan Jiu's figure jumped, and he was already standing in the center of the human race and the demon race, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, since it's an appointment to fight, let's hurry up and fight!"
In his heart, although Lan Jiu also felt that there was a great disparity between himself and this demon king. But on the other hand, he also wants to know how much worse he is, or whether he has the ability to surpass him!
The demon clan monarch also did not hesitate at all, and a light breeze and sunshine appeared on the field. Only then did Lan Jiu finally see the appearance of this demon clan, it turned out to be a leopard in the mountains and forests, looking extremely scary, with a green face and fangs, and it looked very ferocious.
Li Xiaofeng's figure flickered, and the demon clan monarch who spoke before appeared above the heads of the two. The palms of the two of them were for a while, and two rays of light, one left and one right, shrouded the sky, gradually forming a semi-closed protective shield, and also forming a natural playing field for Lan Jiu and the Wild Leopard Demon King.
"The rules are still the same as before, you can't kill you, but if you are seriously injured or killed unintentionally, neither party can be held accountable!" Li Xiaofeng said softly.
There was no objection from either side, and the game started directly. Lan Jiu's palm was raised, and the phantom sword shot out directly, the corners of Lan Jiu's mouth were slightly hooked, and he sang in a low voice, "Jiuyin Killing Trick Disease!"
The fast sword is shadowless, and the fast sword is invisible. Under the blessing of the word formula, the phantom sword in Lan Jiu's hand turned from one to many, and stabbed towards the Wild Leopard Demon King. The speed of this blow was extremely fast, and if it really hit the Wild Leopard King, I am afraid that the outcome of this battle will be known.
But is it really that simple?
