Chapter 8: Challenging the Praetorian Guard

On the other side, Zhuang Yu hurried to the Deacon Hall of Shenlan City with Qing Ming.

The hall was empty, and Zhuang Yu's heart sank.

Glancing back at the hour, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After a slight adjustment, Zhuang Yu fumbled around his body for a while, took out a token and handed it to a man behind the counter in the middle of the hall.

"In Xia Zhuang Yu, come to confirm the registration and participate in the martial arts trial, please help register!"

Zhuang Yu's voice was very loud, and the empty hall kept echoing.

The man behind the counter was stunned for a moment, respectfully took Zhuang Yu's token, and his face changed slightly.

"Please forgive me for being rude, brother, are you sure you want to continue to compete?" the man looked hesitant, a little hesitant.

"Why, is something wrong? The hour was tight, but it didn't run out. Zhuang Yu frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

"Senior brother, this martial arts trial, although the registration is still hot, but compared with the last time, the number of people has been greatly reduced, an hour ago, the ten forbidden shadow guards of the Hua family's Nine Heavens of the Divine Body Realm went directly to the ring, anyone who wants to participate in the martial arts trial can directly come forward to challenge!"

As he spoke, the man's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look back.

Zhuang Yu also looked over with some surprise.

More than a dozen corpses were carried past the side, and a plain-clothed woman handed a leather bag to the man behind the counter with a solemn expression.

The man took the leather bag, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.

Qing Ming was startled when she saw the dozen or so corpses that were extremely dead, and hurriedly took two steps closer to Zhuang Yu.

The pupils in Zhuang Yu's eyes shrank suddenly.

"Natal Soul Card!"

Inside the leather bag are more than a dozen natal soul cards, but they have been shattered at this moment, indicating that these dozen people have died.

"Senior brother, because the Deacon Hall of Shenlan City suddenly sent the Praetorian Shadow Guards to participate in the martial arts trial, in just half an hour, more than 20 contestants have died, all of them were beheaded in the ring by the Praetorian Guards, at this moment, no one dares to continue to challenge!"

The man swallowed his saliva and looked at Zhuang Yu with some hesitation.

"What about the shadowless flowers?" Zhuang Yu frowned.

"Senior Sister Shadowless, she already has a place in the City of Oracles, and she has long since withdrawn from the martial arts trial, and everyone knows it. The man glanced at Zhuang Yu in some surprise.

Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and pondered.

The Praetorian Guardian is the elite unit of Shenlan City, and it is said that the elders of Shenlan City carefully selected from among the disciples of the Deacon Palace.

If a divine warrior can enter the Forbidden Shadow Guard, he must be a first-class master, and they are all people who are decisive in killing, and what they cultivate must be genuine killing skills.

Generally speaking, a Praetorian Guardian can easily parry the combined attack of two or three Divine Warriors of the same level.

Letting the Praetorian Shadow Guard come forward to participate in the martial arts trial, the Deacon Hall of Shenlan City is really a bit excessive.

According to the rules, the Praetorian Guard only obeys the orders of the Deacon's Hall to perform special tasks, and never gets involved in other things.

This time, they came forward to participate in the martial arts trial, and they wanted to come to the deacon's hall to deter.

Once Hua Wuying does not participate, there will indeed be many variables.

"Senior brother?" Seeing that Zhuang Yu was speechless, the man reminded him.

"Oh, help me arrange it, the deacon hall is coming out like this, I think there should be no one over there, right?" Zhuang Yu smiled slightly.

"Okay, there were still some people who were unwilling and wanted to give it a try, but before it officially started, so many people have died one after another, and everyone doesn't dare to step forward easily, they are all waiting outside the ring, please wait!"

The man wanted to dissuade him, but when he saw Zhuang Yu's clear and calm eyes, he immediately changed his words and got busy under the counter.

Qing Ming glanced at Zhuang Yu with some concern.

Zhuang Yu looked at Qing Ming's dirty little face and smiled slightly, signaling her to rest assured.

"Okay, I have added the content of the meeting to the token, senior brother can go directly to the back ring square to challenge!"

The man respectfully handed the token back to Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu nodded and took the token and stepped back quickly.

Passing through the back door, the ring is on a huge plaza behind the deacon's hall.

In the ten circular rings, ten men with full of anger are standing quietly in the middle.

There were no less than 100 people around the square, but none of them dared to come forward to challenge.

The thin old man who had been to Zhuang Yu's mansion was holding a jade plaque, slowly recording something.

Seeing Zhuang Yu appear, the thin old man's eyes changed slightly.

Not only him, but the frowning and onlookers also looked over one by one.

Zhuang Yu's eyes swept away, and then he smiled silently.

Although he didn't know the more than 100 onlookers, he personally shot out of more than 20 of them in the last martial arts trial.

"It's him, the banker's abandoned son Zhuang Yu, the first place last time. ”

"Isn't he dead?"

"It is said that all the veins are destroyed, and the cultivation is a great retreat, but at this moment, I am bold and dare to come. ”

...

A voice of astonishment was heard.

Zhuang Yu didn't care, and without saying a word, he reached out and handed the token to the thin old man.

"Senior Brother Zhuang Yu, why are you doing this, since the Forbidden Shadow Guard is involved, it must be that the Deacon Hall doesn't want anyone to get that quota again, alas!"

The thin old man's face was complicated, and having said that, his right hand was still lightly touched on Zhuang Yu's token.

Zhuang Yu smiled indifferently, looked at the number condensed by Yuan Li on the token, and walked towards a ring on the right hand.

At this moment, the more than 100 onlookers around them were surprised one by one and rushed quickly.

Under the shocked gaze of a group of divine warriors, Zhuang Yu slowly stepped into the ring.

Qing Ming's little face tensed, standing next to the ring, her eyes full of worry.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" the black-shirted man in the ring slowly opened his eyes.

"Under Zhuang Yu, I have the courage to teach me, and I also ask my senior brother to make a move!" Zhuang Yu arched his hand.

"Alas, ignorance. ”

"Pathetic. ”

"Arrogance!"

Immediately a taunt came out of the mouths of the onlookers.

The black-shirted man in the middle of the ring also looked angry, looking at Zhuang Yu like an idiot.

The Forbidden Shadow Guard, the magic techniques practiced are all killing techniques, and most of them strive to kill with one hit.

Therefore, in terms of common sense, against the Praetorian Guard, you must preemptively and limit the opponent's killing skills in order to take the initiative.

Zhuang Yu let a forbidden shadow guard who was also in the Nine Heavens Realm of the Divine Body Realm make the first move, which was obviously contrary to common sense.

In other words, in the eyes of everyone, it is tantamount to looking for death.

"What a first place, dare to be so rebellious, seeing that you were once the pride of the young generation, I wanted to keep you all dead, but now, there is no need. ”

The man in the black shirt seemed to be insulted, and his tone was extremely cold.

Zhuang Yu's face was calm, his hands turned black and white, and the endless heaven and earth yuan power rolled in.

"Humph!"

The man in the black shirt snorted coldly, and the black qi rolled violently.
