None of the hundreds of thousands of onlookers expected that Lu Yiming would admit defeat.

The knife in Zhang Qingfeng's hand has turned into ashes, although Lu Yiming spits blood from his mouth, everyone can see that the injury is not serious, if he continues to fight, who wins and who loses is still in the second place, how can he admit defeat?

There is a three-storey restaurant in the southeast corner of the dueling platform, which is full of seats under the influence of the Jiujia Dabi.

On the third floor, at the window table, sat a graceful woman with a hat and a beautiful appearance, and opposite the woman sat a thin and withered old man in gray.

Seeing Lu Yiming admit defeat, the young woman frowned slightly.

The old man on the other side seemed to have guessed what was on the woman's mind, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Don't you understand?"

The young woman snorted: "Lao Sha, didn't you say that Lu Yiming's really powerful knife technique is called "Sound in the Ear"? He doesn't seem to have shown it yet, right?"

The gray-clothed old man known as Lao Sha nodded and said, "Yes, but it's useless, even if he uses that set of knife techniques, he doesn't have the slightest chance of winning, it's better to admit defeat." ”

"How so?" the young woman seemed a little unconvinced.

"There are three reasons, first, Zhang Qingfeng used a Fanpin Pu knife, but Lu Yiming had in his hand the 'ring ruler knife', one of the four famous knives of Fugui Villa. Second, Zhang Qingfeng obviously has the strength of the Qi Transformation Realm, but he has been suppressing the realm in the Nine Heavens of Qi Refining, the purpose is self-evident, if Lu Yiming can't even win at this time, let alone Zhang Qingfeng after the cultivation is fully released. Third, Lu Yiming's bronze rank knife technique "Disciple Rules" was suppressed by Zhang Qingfeng, if I am not mistaken, his set of knife techniques that look almost exactly the same as "Disciple Rules" should be the "On the Way of the Master" of the academy to specifically restrain "Disciple Rules". Therefore, Lu Yiming should have seen this, so he bowed his head and admitted defeat, Fugui Villa is a branch of the 'Academy', cultivating Haoran righteousness, guarding the way of a gentleman, and retreating in the face of difficulties is one of the ways of a gentleman. ”

The young woman said: "Disciple rules, on the teacher's way, what kind of strange names are these?" I really don't know who came up with it, it sounds like it's all tongue-twisting, and it doesn't show the mighty and domineering of the bronze-level martial arts at all." ”

Lao Sha explained: "Fifteen hundred years ago, a great sage founded the academy, in order to discipline his disciples, he once set up 108 rules, named "Disciple Rules", and later by the seventy-two sages evolved these 108 rules into 108 sword techniques, so that disciples can remember the rules when practicing martial arts. However, the disciples of the academy were born many geniuses, and one day the students raised objections, saying that as a disciple, they should abide by the rules, but if the teacher was immoral and incompetent, how should he be punished? Therefore, he spent only one night creating a set of martial arts techniques for the "Disciple Rules" to restrain it, and named it "On the Way of the Teacher", so as to indicate that the disciples should also have the duty and power to supervise the teacher, and if the teacher cannot be a role model, he should also be punished. ”

The young woman was surprised: "Created a set of bronze-rank martial arts overnight? That academy disciple's talent is also terrifying, isn't it? What is his name? What happened to him?"

"Later......" Lao Sha smiled, "Later, he was removed from the academy for violating the rules of the academy, and became a romantic figure like an idle cloud and wild crane, as for his name before leaving the academy, outsiders don't know, and later when he wandered in the cultivation world, everyone knows the name, he is the martial arts wizard I told you a month ago a thousand years ago: Hua Mantian." ”

......

......

The sword armor competition became more and more fierce and cruel at the end, and because the interval between the two battles was greatly shortened, the cultivators participating in the battle did not have much time to recover their physical strength and aura, so it would eventually evolve into an endurance competition.

Of course, in addition to stamina, there is another point that should not be overlooked, and that is financial strength.

It is undeniable that in this kind of arena where there are no special restrictions on weapons and armor pills, the gap in financial resources will become a key factor in determining victory or defeat in many cases.

Like now.

When the Black Dragon Guard, dressed in vajra armor and armed with a large dragon sword, stood on the dueling platform, their opponents looked at the 'War Fortress' wrapped in steel armor in front of them, revealing only a pair of eyes, and their heads were all too worried.

In previous years, it was not that no one wore armor on the field, and the spear and armor competition even had to fight on a war horse, but it was the first time that a black dragon guard wearing heavy armor made entirely of gilt appeared in the duel arena.

How should this be played?

What to use to break through the defenses of the Vajra armor?

Even if you stand there and don't use a spiritual weapon to slash, in the face of the gilded armor with a rune array more than two inches thick, it will not be able to break the defense in a moment and a half.

Besides, the Black Dragon Guard will stand there and let you cut it?

Joke.

The lethality of the King Kong Black Dragon Guard, which has no need to defend at all, has been doubled, and the sword technique passed on to them by Zhang Qingfeng is a desperate knife technique that focuses on attacking and killing the enemy regardless of defense, so these three battles quickly came to an end amid the complaints and dissatisfaction and even curses of the people around them.

Three Black Dragon Guards, all of them advanced to the top ten!

One of their opponents, one gave up, one took the initiative to admit defeat after failing to break the defense, and the other was disqualified from the dueling ring because he lost control of his emotions and cursed Dabi for being unfair.

Let's just say that the three Black Dragon Guards relied on King Kong Armor to scare their opponents into losing, presenting an embarrassing picture of this year's Jiujia Big Match.

Zhang Qingfeng didn't expect this result.

Seeing the three black dragon guards who won returned to the waiting area, he held back for a long time and spit out four words: "Victory is not martial." ”

It's true that the win is not glamorous.

Up to now, everyone's physical strength and aura have been consumed by more than half, and the Black Dragon Guard has been invincible by putting on the King Kong armor at this time.

Of course, if this is not a sword and armor competition, and the opponent is not a sword cultivator but a magic cultivator or a formation mage, the armor of the Black Dragon Guard will not play a role, and it may even be cocooned and self-bound, and it will lose faster.

But the opponent can't use the magic weapon rune seal, and to a certain extent, it is also a loophole that the sword and armor can only be bare hands or use the 'knife' as a weapon.

The dust has settled on the top ten of the sword and armor competition.

The Wu'an Hou Mansion actually occupied four seats for the first time, becoming a dark horse that no one expected.

Li Yishan, who had defeated his opponent, came to Zhang Qingfeng's side, and after being silent for a moment, he gave him a thumbs up, "Wu'an Houfu, it's really rich!"

With outstanding results, Zhang Qingfeng, who should have been happy, felt indescribably awkward in his heart.

Although ordinary people can see the texture of the special vajra armor, for the cultivation masters, the special aura contained in the gilt can't escape their eyes at all, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the Wu'an Hou Mansion has occupied three places in the top ten by money.

"Rely on the money pile, all the fucking farts, you have the ability to pile up and try it?"

Du Dayan, who was patrolling around, heard the discussion of the onlookers and couldn't help but scold.

"Boss, I think what people said is right, didn't you see a guy who was scared and directly admitted defeat? Isn't it the credit of Vajra Armor? Didn't the young master say that this armor is precious. Tie Niu, who was following behind him, obviously felt that what the masses said was reasonable, and couldn't help but question Du Dayan.

"Who are you with?"

Du turned around and looked up at Tie Niu, who was a head taller than him, "With your big egg yolk brain, can you see the mystery in it?

Tie Niu, who was honest by nature, scratched his head, and was not angry at all because Du Dayan scolded him for being stupid, but said with a smile: "Then, then you talk to me, what do you rely on if you don't rely on money......?

Du Dayan narrowed his small eyes, glanced mockingly at the audience who were talking endlessly, and said disdainfully: "If the young master wants to win by armor, and let the brothers wear armor from the beginning, why wait until now? Don't you see that the brothers are all injured? Which of their opponents is not higher than their cultivation? Is it a shame to fight in armor, and it is not ashamed to defeat the weak with the strong? It's really fucking ridiculous." ”

"Also, and the most important point, the Vajra armor weighs nearly three hundred catties, although the magic circle inside can reduce some weight somewhat, but the Vajra guards in their heyday can't last too long wearing the Vajra armor, not to mention them now? Those three opponents are not in a hurry to achieve quick success, and slowly consume the physical strength of the brothers in the way of a war of attrition, how can these top ten allow us to occupy four seats in the Hou Mansion of Wu'an? The young master likes to take advantage, but when does he not leave a glimmer of life for the opponent? It's because they're too stupid to complain about others instead of grasping it, so what are they if they're not stupid?"

Listening to Du Dayan's explanation, Tie Niu suddenly realized, and when he heard the discussion of the people around him, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Stupid enough! a bunch of idiots. ”

"You're no better!"

Du Dayan, who has long been accustomed to the tendons of the iron bull, gave this brother who changed his face faster than turning a book a roll of his eyes, "I haven't grown at all, I can't see the young master's complaint against you!"

Tie Niu's bare head, hehe, straight smile, silly and cute.

......

......

The four people of Wu'an Houfu entered the top ten, some were dissatisfied, some were hateful, but more people in the Great Zhou were cheering and joy from the heart.

Anyway, Zhang Qingfeng and the three Black Dragon Guards are all Zhou people, they are famous, that is to win glory for the Great Zhou Kingdom, as for whether wearing armor to come to power is suspected of opportunism, for people who are not even qualified to come to power, they don't care at all.

It stands to reason that the reference lineup of this year's sword and armor competition is not weak, with more than 20 Qi refining Nine Heavens masters, and hundreds of Qi Refining Seven or Eight Heaven powerhouses, compared with the previous sword and armor competitions, the number of masters has even increased.

But if you want to blame them, you can only blame them for their bad luck, they ran into Zhang Qingfeng and Li Yishan, two masters of the Transformation Qi Realm and the elite guards who came out of the hands of the Blue Emperor thousands of years ago*, and they lost without being embarrassed.

The final round of ranking matches has finally begun.

The contest was divided into two courts, one for the top nine spots and the second for the nine-man spot lost in the eighth round for the 10th-place spot.

The way of playing is still to draw lots to select opponents.

It is worth mentioning that the nine winners have an odd number, that is, there will be one bye!

Gonggong Xu seemed to deliberately not want Zhang Qingfeng to have a bye, so he bypassed the three Black Dragon Guards and Li Yishan and came directly to his side.

"Aomine, why don't you come first?"

Zhang Qingfeng glanced at Gonggong Xu, smiled faintly, and took out a bamboo stick casually.
