Shopkeeper Li smiled angrily, "I don't know what to do, juniors, the tiger is not a sick cat, look at it!"

Shopkeeper Li suddenly retracted thousands of swords across his chest, and the spine of the sword turned outward, and suddenly bounced out. This sword looked simple, but at this time, Zhou Tai's violent fist gloves just attacked, slapped on thousands of swords, and was instantly slapped aside.

With one successful move, the shopkeeper Li's footsteps were flickering, and thousands of swords were waved continuously, one move was faster than the other, crackling and hitting Zhou Tai everywhere on his body, and Zhou Tai was already knocked to the ground in one breath.

Immediately afterwards, Shopkeeper Li turned around and quickly rushed to Shi Xin, and came face to face with Shi Xin, who was preparing to rescue Zhou Tai.

Shopkeeper Li's eyes changed and became very focused. A thought flashed through Shi Xin's mind: he got serious!

The corners of Shopkeeper Li's mouth rose, and he smiled coldly, and the sword spine also slapped on Shi Xin's right wrist, causing Shi Xin to gasp in pain, and the red light of the Son of Heaven Sword suddenly dimmed.

Kicking Shi Xin down with a casual kick, Shopkeeper Li had already come to Chen Bing in two jumps, stretched out his sword against Chen Bing's neck, and shouted: "You lost!"

Suddenly, the sound of Chen Bing's piano changed, and a few cold and indifferent notes were inserted into the heart of Shopkeeper Li like an ice pick, making his face change greatly, his hand trembled, and thousands of swords almost fell out of his hand.

The sound of the piano continued, and the eyes of the shopkeeper Li gradually lost their brilliance, and his eyelids closed and closed, as if he was about to fall into a deep sleep.

Shi Xin and Zhou Tai rushed over as fast as they could. Chen Bing is their last line of defense, and they have to protect her no matter what.

Shopkeeper Li's distraction only lasted for two seconds, and when he regained consciousness, Shi Xin and Zhou Tai's attack had arrived, and Chen Bing had slowly retreated a few steps and escaped from his attack range.

Half an hour later, Shi Xin and Zhou Tai were paralyzed on the ground, gasping for breath, and Chen Bing, who was not far away, turned pale, his eyes closed, and his luck returned to his true qi.

Shopkeeper Li wiped the beads of sweat from his face, and regretted a little in his heart: he knew that with the skills of the fifth-rank pulse master, it would be a little difficult for the fourth-rank pulse master to deal with them.

At this time, I should be sitting in the study, eating snacks and drinking fragrant tea, and even taking a nap or taking a fragrant bath. fell into the girl's way and promised her to come to sparring. These people are really difficult, but ......" Shopkeeper Li looked up at the increasingly vicious sun and blocked it with his hand, "...... Maybe these few people can bring an extraordinary impact to the Pulse Master World. ”

Deep in the Heavenly Master's Mansion. This is a sealed practice ground, and it is also a very special practice field. Five deep pits with a diameter of about two meters were dug in the field, arranged according to the attributes of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The gold pit is full of metal, there are copper and iron fragments, there are medium-sized swords and guns, and there are large iron balls, copper tripods, etc.; the wooden pit is filled with wood chips, wooden spikes, wooden sticks, tree stumps, vines, flowers and other plants; the water pit is divided into two parts, one part is filled with water, and the other part is cold and biting ice; the fire pit is burning; the earth pit has broken soil, limestone, large pieces of earth, etc.

There was a pillar in the center of the Five Elements Array, and a small seat cushion was placed on the pillar, but there was no one sitting on it.

Not far from the practice ground, there were two slender figures. The smaller one sat on the ground, his hands on his knees, his shoulders swaying, and he sobbed in a low voice. The older man sighed faintly, "Sister, it's not that my sister is forcing you." There is still a month to go before the big competition, and we, as the core team of the Heavenly Master Sect, must not be left behind!"

The girl on the ground cried for a while, and gradually stopped crying, "Sister...... It's enough to have you and Brother Guan Hai, I'...... I'm usually timid, but I'm afraid that I'll hold you back when I get to the battlefield. Even if...... Even if you choose another person, you're better than me. ”

"Nonsense, as the daughter of the Heavenly Master Sect, she was born with a strong self and a strong mission of the Heavenly Master Sect, how can she fake her hands to others?" The girl scolded harshly.

These two are Zhang Meiniang and Zhang Ning.

Seeing that Zhang Ning was about to cry again, Zhang Meiniang's tone softened, "Sister, you are recognized as the most talented pulse master since the establishment of the Heavenly Master Sect, and what is even more commendable is that you have inherited your father's vein artifact, the Nine Scepters, which can release the powerful Five Elements Enchantment. I would like to ask the Heavenly Master, who is better than you in the same age? If you don't compete, who can compete?"

"But I don't dare ......," Zhang Ning muttered, his eyes full of tears again.

"What don't you dare, tell me what are you afraid of?" Zhang Meiniang suddenly raised her voice.

"I don't know, I don't want to fight, I just want to be quiet. Or...... "Zhang Ning looked into the distance," or was protected. ”

"You ......" Zhang Meiniang was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, and after a while, she sneered and said, "Don't be stupid, this world is the strong, everyone is for themselves, who will protect you?"

"Yes, the last time you went to trouble that brother of the Lingbao Sect, wasn't that friend named Zhou Tai desperately protecting him?" Zhang Ning looked at his sister innocently, "He is very brave, he doesn't care about his own safety at all, he just rushes forward." At that time......"

"Hey, stinky girl, do you admire him very much? Why do you mention him three or four times? Could it be that you ......" Zhang Meiniang looked at Zhang Ning suspiciously, her face cloudy.

"What? Sister, you don't say nonsense. Zhang Ning blushed, hurriedly denied it, and stood up in a hurry.

"Oh, this chick is really ......" Zhang Meiniang looked at Zhang Ning seriously, and thought secretly in her heart.

Zhang Ning's expression became even more twisted, and after arguing for a while, he lowered his head again, and his little hands played with the corners of his clothes, looking like a little daughter.

"Nothing can make her like Zhou Tai, that kid has refused our recruitment three or four times, and he is very capable, he is either a friend or an enemy, and he may be a strong opponent in the future. ”

Zhang Meiniang persuaded Zhang Ning bitterly, saying all the bad things about Zhou Tai, so that she couldn't like Zhou Tai, Zhang Ning only lowered her head and emphasized that she didn't like Zhou Tai, she was very stubborn. Zhang Meiniang finally got angry and said: "Okay, since you don't like him, then do your best to defeat him in the big competition! If you defeat him, I will let him go." ”

"Really?" Zhang Ning asked innocently, his eyes wide.

"Of course it's true. Zhang Meiniang's words are a little contradictory, since Zhang Ning emphasized that he didn't care about Zhou Tai, and defeating him in the big competition could be confirmed, why did he beg his sister to let him go?

Zhang Ning was simple-minded, so naturally she would not think of this problem, and after getting Zhang Meiniang's affirmation, she grabbed her sister's sleeve and shouted happily: "Sister, you said it, don't regret it." ”

Zhang Meiniang didn't want to entangle with her on this issue, "Okay, when did my sister deceive you? Now you can go to cultivate, right?"

"Okay, I'll just practice for another hour. Zhang Ning walked briskly to the Five Elements Formation and sat back on the seat cushion.

Zhang Meiniang watched the colorful five elements in the field gradually move under Zhang Ning's control, and her thoughts fluctuated in her heart: Sister, you have to work hard, you can't waste your talent in vain, the heavy responsibility of the Heavenly Master Sect will fall on you. Don't blame my sister for being harsh, don't blame my sister for being ruthless, this is the tempering that you should have as an inheritor. My sister is actually very envious of you, if my veins are a nine-section scepter, if I can release the Five Elements Enchantment, I will definitely compete with you. But I can't, I can only try my best to teach you, protect you, and when you grow up, I will assist you, let you lead the Heavenly Master Sect, and become a new generation of Heavenly Master!

Zhang Meiniang was thinking about it, when suddenly a disciple outside the door whispered: "Miss, Sun Ce and Yuan Xi ask to see each other at the same time, please give me instructions." ”

Zhang Meiniang frowned and said, "Sun Ce is arranged in the left reception room, and Yuan Xi is in the right reception room." ”

"Yes!"

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Meiniang pushed the door out. She has always taken the following quote as a wise saying: Never let a man feel that you can be approached easily. Always make men wait a little longer and make them feel like you're worth the wait.

The sun was shining outside, and Zhang Meiniang, who had adapted to the darkness, only felt that her eyes were stinging, and she couldn't help frowning, blocking the sunlight with her hand.

After squinting and waiting for a while, she lifted her right leg and was about to step out, when she suddenly felt that something was wrong, her right foot retracted, and finally walked to the left. She muttered to herself: "Sun Ce is impatient, if he doesn't see me for a long time, he will definitely be impetuous, and he doesn't know what impulsive things he will do." Yuan Xi is exaggerated on the surface, but in fact he is scheming, and it will be okay for him to wait a little longer. ”

It seems that the side two years ago really impressed the two of them. Daddy's plan is really seamless. If I show my true colors, even if I successfully marry into their house, I will be suspicious and suspicious, so it is better to be fully prepared from the beginning and give everyone a spoiled image of the eldest lady. It's just that Shi Xin, the scapegoat, is a little wronged. But he should also be grateful to me, without my step-by-step pressing, I guess he hasn't ventured to open his pulse until now, right?"

"If Shi Xin doesn't open his pulse, Chen Bing won't be in a hurry to open his pulse, so they won't be able to participate in the big competition. In this case, Zhou Tai may join the inner door of our Heavenly Master Sect. Alas, this is all destiny, there are gains and losses. ”

"I don't know what the master thinks, but he actually asked his father to teach the Taiping Heart Method to others, and there is no distinction between inner and outer disciples. Fortunately, in previous years, the inner disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect were all superior, and Zhang Yan, Bo Cai, Zhang Mancheng and others who had cultivated the Taiping Mind Method gradually became the backbone of the Heavenly Master Sect. But this year is different, the Sun family is menacing, the Yuan family is not far behind, Shi Xin and the other three have sprung up, God knows who will win. ”
