Chapter 402: Martial Arts Competition
On the outskirts of Yangcheng, in a secret base in Hongmen.
At this time, Qian Honglei, a subordinate of Lei Tianlie, the helmsman of the overseas Hongmen branch, summoned all the more than 20 elites under him back to the base.
In the conference room of the base, sitting at the head was the junior brother of Lei Tianlie, the helmsman of the Hongmen Branch, Wang Hu.
Wang Hu is in his early forties, burly, with a small flat head, and looks explosive, but slightly bulky.
After glancing at everyone, he fell on Qian Honglei, looked at Qian Honglei, squinted his eyes and said, "Qian Honglei, didn't you say that there is a strong enemy in Yangcheng?" Specially asked me to come from overseas, just to deal with a rabble? ”
Qian Honglei was stared at by Wang Hu, and explained with a smile: "Mr. Wang, do you know, although their 'Flying Fox Gate' has only recently developed and grown in Yangcheng, they have incorporated the team of Liu Yuanzong, an old force in Yangcheng, which is indeed not to be underestimated. Moreover, Lin Tao, the boss of this 'Flying Fox Gate', is extremely skilled, and his cultivation may have already reached the late stage of the second layer of 'refining qi and transforming gods', and even ...... Even the third layer's 'refining gods and transforming the void' is possible. ”
In the martial arts world, cultivation is divided into, the first layer is 'refining and refining qi', and 'refining and refining qi' is divided into three small levels, which are the early, middle and late stages, the second layer is 'refining qi and transforming gods', the third layer is 'refining gods and transforming voids', and the highest level is 'refining and refining void and combining the way', each of which has early, middle and late stages.
As for the 'Refining Void Combination Dao', it is the legendary 'Earth God' level.
As for whether this 'earth god' really exists, it is unknown.
When Wang Hu learned that there was a figure with the same strength as himself in this Yangcheng, he immediately frowned and questioned Qian Honglei, saying, "How do you know that this Lin Tao has the realm of 'refining gods and transforming voids'?" I've just reached the early stage of the third layer of 'refining gods and transforming voids', is the other party's strength stronger than me? Hum! ”
Qian Honglei didn't know Wang Hu's temperament, for fear of saying the wrong thing if he spoke more, so he said: "Mr. Wang, my cultivation is now in the early stage of the second layer of 'refining qi and transforming gods', but I don't even have the strength to fight back in front of him, just like the pressure I feel in front of you, so I guess that even if his strength is weaker than yours, it will not be too weak." ”
"The people who can reach my realm are basically martial arts masters with names and surnames, why have I never heard of such a number one person as Lin Tao?"
"Well...... this"
Qian Honglei didn't know how to explain it, Lin Tao's appearance was indeed like an outlier to him, a grandmaster-level master in his twenties, not to mention that Wang Hu didn't believe it, I'm afraid that if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't be able to believe it.
Wang Hu saw that Qian Honglei was spitting, so he coldly reprimanded: "Speak, don't stumble!" ”
"Eh, okay!" Qian Honglei was frightened and hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, this Lin Tao is only in his twenties, and it is normal for you not to know about his existence." ”
"Twenties?"
Wang Hu couldn't help laughing, and said disdainfully: "Qian Honglei, Qian Honglei, you are really going back more and more, a person in his twenties, can he cultivate to achieve 'refining gods and turning into void'?" Do you know how long it took me to go from being ten years old when I was still cultivating to 'refining the gods and transforming the void'? Thirty years! Thirty years! You tell me now that a young man in his twenties has reached the level of 'refining gods and transforming voids'? Are you looking for fun there? ”
"Really...... Not really! ”
Qian Honglei knew Wang Hu's ruthless methods, an unhappy person can make people's heads move, he saw that Wang Hu's expression was getting more and more gloomy, and he was suddenly a little frightened, and said in a trembling tone: "I can't be sure that he must have reached the realm of 'refining gods and transforming voids', but judging his cultivation according to my cultivation, maybe my cultivation is too low, and my judgment is wrong, maybe he is still the second layer of 'refining qi and transforming gods'." ”
Wang Hu snorted coldly, and said with a determined face: "To say that it is normal for a young man to appear 'refining qi and transforming gods', it is absolutely impossible for a 'refining god and transforming void' in his twenties, unless it is ......"
"Unless what?"
Qian Honglei saw that Wang Hu wanted to speak and stopped, so he couldn't help but ask boldly.
Wang Hu glanced at Qian Honglei and said with a serious expression: "Unless there is a 'Earth God' level god who personally cultivates it, he can cultivate a young master in his twenties who is more than twenty years old!" ”
"O god of the earth!" Qian Honglei couldn't help but sigh, and then sighed: "What kind of existence is the god of the earth, how can he pay attention to mundane things, and besides, the god of the earth seems to only exist in legends, right?" ”
Wang Hu glanced at Qian Honglei thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Our ancestor of Hongmen was already at the peak of the fourth layer of 'refining the void and merging the Dao' in retreat ten years ago, and only one opportunity is the 'Earth God', in the past ten years, even if it is not the Earth God, it is almost better than the Earth God!" ”
After a pause, Wang Hu looked at Qian Honglei, who was fascinated, and instructed: "Isn't there a traditional habit of dividing territory in this North China Province, you immediately go to contact several family elders in North China Province who presided over the conference, and let them come out to preside over the overall situation, this time I want to fight the entire North China Province dare not take the lead, the territory of Yangcheng, I am bound to win, hahaha......"
Qian Honglei reminded wryly: "But this competition is only held once every six years, and there is still a year before the next competition!" ”
"Idiot!"
Wang Hu grabbed Qian Honglei's collar and said contemplatively: "Let the elders of those families have a meeting in advance!" ”
"What if they won't?!" Qian Honglei asked in fear.
"Then kill ...... Kill one and make an example, whichever family opposes the most will destroy which family! ”
Wang Hu has checked the situation in North China Province before coming to China from overseas, there are three major families in the entire North China Province to preside over the martial arts competition and the division of territory, although the three families are the old families in North China Province, but they have long lost their strength, otherwise it will not let a Liu Yuanzong in Yangcheng suppressively manage the entire Yangcheng underworld territory for decades, this time Wang Hu's goal is to control the three major families, manage all the territory of Yangcheng, and prepare for the return of overseas Hongmen to China.
Of course, Yangcheng is just an invasion point of Hongmen, Hongmen and other rudders are competing for the underworld territory in other provinces of China at the same time, once the situation is opened, Hongmen controls the underworld forces in the whole of China, I am afraid that when the time comes, Huaxia will once again enter a period of bloody chaos, when killing and drugs will sweep through China......
……
The next day, the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Li family, of the three major families in North China Province, were 'visited' by Wang Hu at the same time.
Under the strong suppression of Wang Hu, the Zhang family and the Wang family had no choice but to compromise, and the Li family in North China has always had a very good relationship with Liu Yuanzong, although Liu Yuanzong died, but Liu Yuanzong's righteous son Lin Tao inherited everything from Liu Yuanzong, and their Li family naturally hoped that Lin Tao would continue to lead the Yangcheng underworld in order to achieve a win-win situation, so they opposed Wang Hu's unreasonable request for an early martial arts competition.
Who knew that Wang Hu was ruthless and vicious, and when he was in discord, he directly killed several master guards of the Li family, and even threatened the lives of the Li family's grandchildren.
Forced by the lives of the Li family's grandchildren, the Li family elders could only agree to Wang Hu's request in the end.
As a result, the elders of the three major families all agreed to hold a martial arts tournament in advance, and the date of the tournament was set a year in advance.
Inside the deep courtyard of the Li family.
Li Jiangbei, the elder of the Li family, sat on the Taishi chair in the study with an ugly face, and an old man with a slight injury stood beside him.
The old man is Li Jiangbei's close guard Li Gan, whose strength has reached the late stage of 'refining qi and transforming gods', and he is also a top master in the entire North China, but today he made a few moves against Wang Hu, and he fell behind at the beginning, and he was not Wang Hu's opponent at all.
"This Wang Hu claims to be from the overseas Hongmen, you have fought with him, what do you think of his strength?"
Li Gan sighed weakly, shook his head and said, "Master, the gap between my strength and his strength is too big, I'm afraid that his strength is at least in the early stage of 'refining gods and transforming voids'." ”
Although the difference between the late stage of the second layer and the early stage of the third layer seems to be only one level, the strength is very different.
"Refining the gods and turning the void!"
Li Jiangbei said faintly: "If it wasn't for Wu'er who practiced and went mad back then, I'm afraid it would be 'refining gods and turning into voids' now!" ”
When Li Jiangbei's son was mentioned, Li Gan was also extremely embarrassed, and sighed: "The talent and strength of the eldest prince back then were definitely the younger generation in the whole of North China...... No, it's the entire young generation of Huaxia who is ranked high, who knows if it's jealous of the talent, if it weren't for that ...... Our Li family didn't know that they were bullied like this by the lost dog who came back from overseas! ”
Li Jiangbei sighed softly, unwilling to mention the previous things again, and changed the topic and said: "Before Liu Yuanzong died, he passed the seat to a young man named Lin Tao, you have dealt with their 'Flying Fox Gate', what do you think of the strength of this young man named Lin Tao?" ”
Li Qian smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen Lin Tao himself, every time I deal with it, it's his subordinate 'shadow'. ”
"Isn't the shadow Liu Yuanzong's personal guard? Is a character like him willing to continue to work hard for a young man like Lin Tao? ”
"I don't know the specific reason, it may be that the shadow is a diehard, and he is not sure that he was entrusted by Liu Yuanzong before he was in danger!"
"This time...... Ay! Li Jiangbei sighed and said: "This time, our entire North China Province is probably going to be in turmoil, Wang Hu is so strong, no one in North China can compete with him!" ”
"Ahem, the Zhang family and the Wang family have also gone downhill, and the three major families are not harmonious, it is inevitable that Wang Hu will take advantage of it." Li Qian coughed twice and said.
Li Jiangbei glanced at Li Gan with concern, "Your injuries are okay, right?" ”
"It's okay, I've suffered some minor injuries, just take care of it for a few days!" After speaking, he smiled bitterly, and then continued: "I'm older, if I were younger, I wouldn't be so unbearable!" ”
Li Jiangbei said lonely: "If it weren't for your support over the years, the Li family would have been annexed by the other two long ago." Lao Qian, after this conference is over, let's quit completely, hoping to get out of the country and live a stable life......"
