Chapter 8 – Opening of the Competition (2)
As soon as Liu Xun said this, a group of Jiangnan heroes who had just gathered next to the ring and were ready to participate in the competition responded tacitly. At the same time, his eyes are like electricity, looking for his possible opponents in the crowd. never thought that all their hard work was made into wedding dresses by others, supporting four people who had already been prepared. It's just that now all the Jiangnan heroes are very busy when they see Liu Xun working day and night to arrange the ring and promulgate all kinds of news, and these actions have been deeply engraved in the hearts of every Jiangnan heroes. Naturally, they didn't expect Liu Xun's cold and vicious heart under his gorgeous appearance, nor did they expect Liu Xun to have such vicious thoughts in his heart.
First of all, let's welcome the champion of the last competition, Lord Wang Ming, the current commander of the Ruocheng soldiers and horses! This time, he also came to the Yunsheng Juxian Tower. We are glad to have invited him to explain the details of this competition. But at this time, no one will be able to see Liu Xun's inner thoughts. So they all listened eagerly and enthusiastically as a commander-in-chief appointed by Liu Xun, who stood in the center of the red ring, announced the start of the game on the stage. And wait for the commander of the Ruocheng soldiers and horses, that is, the champion speech of the last Jiangnan martial arts conference.
"Roar!" the commander-in-chief finished speaking, and left the ring first. At the same time, three guards with knives in coarse cloth clothes were squeezed out of the crowd. The three men went up to the ring in a round collared purple burqa.
The general had a meniscus pinned to his waist and a bronze helmet on his head. Stand majestically on the stage. With a smile on his face, he shouted to the many Jiangnan heroes below: "You must have some of them who know me. I am the champion of the last Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference, Wang Ming. Now, thanks to the emperor's favor, he has served as the commander of the soldiers and horses in his hometown. I am honored to be here to witness the selection of champions this time. Again, for the next month or two, your security will be left to us to protect. Then you can prepare for the battle with all your might. Now, I wish you all the best in your game!" Wang Ming raised the meniscus knife at his waist, smiled and nodded to all the Jiangnan heroes in front of him.
Among these Jiangnan heroes, many people are familiar with the previous champion Wang Ming. Seeing his high-spirited appearance now, more Jiangnan heroes are eager to try and prepare to show their skills. If you can really win the top three, you will get ahead like Wang Ming, and you don't have to live a day of worrying and licking blood. This kind of life makes many Jiangnan heroes yearn for it.
"Thank you Lord Wang for your speech, now we officially enter the first day of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition, first of all, I want to tell you that we strictly abide by the laws and regulations of the Qi State. If we detect fraud, we will punish it severely. Secondly, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be an auction held by Lord Liu Xun himself, and the rich reward that His Majesty the Emperor has bestowed on you will be presented to you this time. Okay, let's go to the opening match, and the two sides of the battle are "At this time, after Wang Ming went down, the commander-in-chief who had been standing under the ring and watching came back to the stage. While looking at the direction of Wang Ming's departure, he also announced the two sides of the many matches that will be played in this ring in the past few days. He also deliberately announced that Liu Xun deliberately separated the Jiangnan heroes with different abilities according to their different strengths, and told the Jiangnan heroes in front of him. At the same time, it was also announced that several Jiangnan heroes who will be competing today.
Although the commander-in-chief's words were quite unkind, he was the first to say that fraud was strictly forbidden and that punishment measures were given. However, the Jiangnan heroes who really have strong strength and the ability to win the championship are not very afraid. On the contrary, the commander-in-chief's next sentence "the opening battle begins" aroused the strong interest of all Jiangnan heroes.
The two Jiangnan heroes who were ready to compete were the first to play, and the two of them played as players in the opening game. So they put out 100% of their spirit to fight the opponent in front of them.
On each side of the ring stood two heavily armed Ouchi guards, and there was a narrow passage between the two of them. It's just right to let the contestants participate in this competition, so that there will be no major problems.
The two men who came to the ring first happened to arrive in the center of the ring through two Ouchi guards on each side. In the center of the ring stood a middle-aged man in a blue robe, who looked at the two contestants walking up on either side with a peaceful smile on his face. The voice was a little solemn, "Players on both sides, exchange names!"
A young man standing on the right arched his hand and nodded slightly to the opponent in front of him and the middle-aged man. The boy was dressed in a goose-egg-colored yellow cloak. In his hand, he wears a pair of short-handled double blades like Emei thorns, which is the so-called dagger. The young man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but the old-fashioned look on his face made the middle-aged man standing in the midfield a little puzzled.
Standing to the left of the middle-aged man was a middle-aged man of his age, with a hideous and murderous expression on his face. He was wearing a purple round-necked robe over his body, and he held a long, hard knife in his hand. Slightly arched his hand to signal to the other party, but the restless footsteps under his feet made the rest of the Jiangnan heroes watching the battle in the ring realize that the middle-aged man would directly attack the weak young man in front of him at the beginning of the game.
As the middle-aged man in blue ordered the game to begin, the middle-aged man standing to his left rushed directly with a long knife. The middle-aged man in blue quickly retreated to the far corner of the field to stand up. At the same time, his eyes were like falcons and electricity, staring at the inside of the field, observing whether there was any fraud in the process of the game between the two people.
The opening match of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Contest was between the middle-aged man with a long knife and the young man with a double-bladed blade! The rest of the Jiangnan heroes sitting under the field and the tourists who came to watch the battle talked with relish about what they thought was the winner.
The middle-aged man with a long knife in his hand rushed directly to the young man in front of him. The long knife made a perfect arc from his hand and slashed at the young man in front of him. The powerful attack combined with the swift steps under his feet flashed directly in front of the young man, trying to directly defeat the opponent in front of him through this attack.
For this young man, he was not ready for the middle-aged man in front of him who was holding a long knife and rushed directly to him with such a rhythm, and for a while he was not ready, he was still very knowledgeable and flexible dodge and retreated, his hair brushing the blade across his cheek. The young man quickly straightened up, only to see the middle-aged man in front of him rushing over with a long knife again. This time, as if he knew he was going to dodge, the middle-aged man swept directly at the boy's head.
On the other side, the middle-aged man in the blue robe, who had no weapons in his hand, had his hands clenched slightly, and his eyes had been staring at the two contestants without leaving. Although no one saw what the middle-aged man possessed. But he would never allow such a thing as a dead person at the Jiangnan martial arts competition. He was sure that he would be able to stop the middle-aged man with a long knife before he could slash the boy. This is the confidence of this middle-aged man in a blue robe.
However, the teenager who was able to be selected to participate in the opening game is naturally not weak. was temporarily shocked by the desperate tactics of the middle-aged man coming up. However, when he reacted, an imperceptible smile of contempt rose at the corner of his mouth.
The boy is very confident in his own strength, but now he is indeed at a certain disadvantage. Taking advantage of the middle-aged man's footsteps before he arrived in front of him, the double-edged blade in the young man's hand shot for the first time, and with a flip of both wrists, the double-edged shot was made, and a strong chilling coldness spread to the middle-aged man in front of him. The middle-aged man couldn't help but shudder secretly, and his footsteps couldn't help but stop. Then, his long knife slashed in front of the young man in the yellow robe in front of him. At the same time, the boy's twin blades were raised in the same way, and the two of them finally fought like this for the first time. Due to the small difference in strength, the two of them could not defeat each other quickly for a while. In the final analysis, the current confrontation between the double blade and the long knife is just two people testing each other's strength, and the winner will not be determined quickly.
At the same time, at the bottom of the venue, Liu Xun had already discussed with the shopkeepers in the Yunsheng Juxian Building, prepared a lot of chairs and tables, and also asked the maids of the Yunsheng Juxian Building to send fresh melons, fruits and vegetables for them to try from time to time. Let the Jiangnan heroes who do not participate in the competition enjoy the competition in the ring. At the same time, this step is also a step in the plan that Liu Xun has already prepared.
Sitting at the table closest to the ring, Lu Xing, who was wearing a golden silk robe, watched thoughtfully the confrontation between the young man and the middle-aged man in the ring. Thinking of many things in his heart that he couldn't control, Lu Xing couldn't help but drag his chin and sigh secretly.
"The shopkeepers of Yunsheng Juxian Mansion are very serious, but it's a pity" Lu Xing looked at the fresh vegetables and fruits prepared in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.
"Lu Xing, what's so sad, I really want to know about it" Lu Xing had just fallen into deep thought, when he heard a crisp and exciting voice coming from not far away. He couldn't help but shake his body excitedly, and then interrupted his thoughts.
When Lu Xing's gaze turned from the ring to the person who was the source of the sound, his eyes simply straightened. The corners of Lu Xing's mouth twitched slightly, and he swallowed his saliva, with a murderous and somewhat greedy look on his face.
Appearing in front of Lu Xing was a girl in a tight black silk robe, her face as soft as a goose's egg, and her eyes as gentle as water. The figure looks very perfect, and I can't find the slightest flaw at all.
"Sister Fairy, do you have something?" Lu Xing showed a greedy gaze, and his gaze swept around the woman's body unabashedly.
Before Lu Xing could see any private parts clearly, the girl in front of him shook her hand fiercely and swept over, directly knocking Lu Xing out of the air. Even so, Lu Xing still stumbled to the ground. Fortunately, the surrounding Jiangnan heroes stared intently at the increasingly fierce battle between the two people in the ring, and did not notice Lu Xing's tragic situation.
"It's not that I said, you really don't want to die! Are you really planning to disobey Lord Yu's orders?" The black-robed girl in front of her had a sharp object hidden under her long sleeves. Let Lu Xing shiver directly, and all evil thoughts were cleared from his mind. Quickly got up from the ground, and said with a smile: "I don't know, Sister Xia Qing, what do you want to know? What can I help you?"
