Chapter 924: The Hou family is in trouble
I was back in the ring and everyone was excited to get their eyes on the ring.
Standing across from me this time was a weak young man whose name was unknown and I had never even heard of him.
"Zhou Daoyou, I know I'm not your opponent, but I also want to make a bet with you." The young man's words were extremely familiar, almost exactly the same as Liu Rongyan's.
"Oh, what are you going to bet again?" I smiled faintly. It seems that these city lords know that they are not my opponents, and they all plan to find another way. This Liu Rongyan seems to have made a bad start.
"Bet on the art of runes." The young man said confidently.
"Okay......" I have nothing to say.
A moment later, the ring erupted with rune light, and a figure flew out upside down and slammed down outside the ring.
"Zhou Yuan, the old man admits that he can't win you, but do you dare to gamble with me."
After that, things kept happening, and I got used to it.
However, whether it is talismans, strength, or even Dao Nian, I will crush my opponents one by one without dispute.
Everyone looked at me with more and more reverence.
I don't seem to have any weaknesses, I'm an absolute king in all the realms of monks, and I'm simply terrifying.
I passed the test with ease all the way, and finally reached the last competition, which decided the first city lord of the Ling Xuan Festival this time.
This competition also brought many sleepy spectators to their senses.
Because standing opposite me is Kang Yilong, who was second in the last Thousand Cities Competition, if it weren't for some special reasons, he would have been the first.
Looking at me, Kang Yilong's black face looked even darker.
"I throw in the towel!"
The referee stumbled and turned back in surprise. Before he could get out of the ring, Kang Yilong actually admitted defeat.
"Brother Kang, don't you want to compete with me? And with your strength, I'd love to fight you once. I smiled wryly, I didn't expect this outcome at all. Kang Yilong's cultivation is not weaker than the lord of a state, unlike those people before, he is an absolute powerhouse, and I also want to have a good fight.
"You pervert, do I want to find abuse when I fight with you? Lao Tzu doesn't want to admit defeat, but unfortunately I can't find the slightest flaw in you. Throw in the towel. Kang Yilong waved his hand speechlessly.
At this time, the ring was empty, and I was the only one left, but it attracted everyone's attention.
The crowd cast mixed eyes on me. They had never seen such a strange Thousand Cities Competition, and I had an easy journey to get the first place without bloodshed. But this does not mean that I am weak, but I don't even have an opponent who makes me drink blood with a spear.
Many people are very envious of me, and I have not yet appeared to be the first city lord by admitting defeat from my opponent, but no one thinks that I am not qualified enough, on the contrary, they can all feel that a rising new king has been born. Otherwise, what qualifications do you have to let your opponent lose without a fight?
"Okay, I'll announce the results of this Thousand Cities War." The old man coughed dryly, and Ling Xuan Holy Son became the first city lord, which seemed to be the first time in history.
I stood in place but felt a little regretful, I originally planned to show my strength more intensely, but the battle between me and Lu Qing before was too amazing, so that most of the city lords lost their fighting spirit.
"Wait a minute."
But at this time, the sky trembled, and in a lion-like sound, a figure had a wild breath and flew rapidly from the distant sky.
When they saw the people coming, many people's faces changed.
"It's Hou Lingxiao of the Hou family, what is he doing here?"
"Hmph, what else can you do? Zhou Yuan scolded everyone in the Hou family, which was equivalent to slapping the Hou family's face in public. King Hou is in retreat, won't the second master of the Hou family come out to support the scene? ”
"The Hou family also dealt with Zhou Yuan, there is a good show to watch now." There are also people who gloat.
"Oh? It's Master Hou, I don't know what you have to say when you come over? Seeing Hou Lingxiao fall directly on the ring, the old man arched his hand.
"Hehe, this is the Battle of a Thousand Cities, the grand event of the Ling Xuan Dynasty, what can I command, but I heard that the first city lord has come out, I don't know which one?" Hou Lingxiao smiled, and a pair of tiger eyes swept around.
"Could it be him, what a hero out of a teenager."
Seeing me, Hou Lingxiao's eyes swelled with a cold glow, and he strode towards me. He smiled like an elder, but his arm slammed into my shoulder.
"Our Ling Xuan's future will be entrusted to you." The palm of his hand was wrapped in the wind, and his breath was surging, with a mountain-like strength.
I squinted my eyes, didn't dodge or dodge, and let Hou Lingxiao slap it down.
But at the same time, the breath in my body flowed, and the ice flame condensed on my shoulder.
Bang! Hou Lingxiao's palm fell, slapping directly on the ice flame on my shoulder. The breath of his palm poured into my body, making my viscera tremble, and it quickly dissolved.
But at the same time, the ice flame on my shoulder pierced my arm like a nail.
"Shhh The smile on Hou Lingxiao's face suddenly turned into horror, he let go of his palm, his body fell backwards, and a dark aura surged out, shattering the green bricks behind him.
As a result, under Hou Lingxiao's step, the green bricks burst, and he stumbled in embarrassment.
"The seniors are polite, our Lingxuan Dynasty still has to rely on you elders to support you, seniors don't want to decline before they get old."
I took a step forward, looked down and grabbed Hou Lingxiao, with an extremely polite smile.
"You ......" The corners of Hou Lingxiao's mouth twitched, his eyes flashed with coldness, but then he laughed again.
"Well said, Brother Zhou is really a peerless Tianjiao, and it is not in vain that my brother Wang asked me to send you a congratulatory gift after hearing about you."
Hou Lingxiao slapped his face as he spoke.
"Bring it to me." He shouted, and the void shook for a while, and twenty great saints, holding a golden thing, flew from the far sky.
Although there were twenty people, they were all covered in sweat, and it seemed that this thing was extremely heavy, and it was extremely difficult to lift this thing.
Bang! Then they put it in the ring, and even the sturdy bricks shattered and collapsed in an instant.
My eyes fell, this is a set of battle armor, golden light flashing, treasure light permeated, quite good.
"The hero is well matched, Brother Zhou, you have become the first city lord, and my brother's order is to bring you a peerless battle armor."
"Oh? Then I really want to thank King Hou. "I squinted my eyes, this prince is so kind? I scolded his son for taking away, and he sent me a congratulatory gift instead.
"In that case, then Brother Zhou should hurry up and put it on, don't let down the kindness of King Hou." Hou Lingxiao said with a smile.
"Haha, Hou Lingxiao hasn't seen you for a long time." At this time, a figure jumped into the ring again, it was Kang Yilong.
"Zhou Yuan, this thing is an evil treasure and can't be moved." Kang Yilong smiled and dealt with Hou Lingxiao on the surface, but he communicated with me behind his back.
"Evil treasure? What's going on? ”
"That's a terrifying existence, you can't touch it. King Hou had been to a secret realm in the Red Wilderness in the past, and had received a lot of benefits from it, and this armor was one of them. However, there is evil in this thing, eroding people's divine consciousness, so it can't be used at all, it was given to a city lord back then, but less than a year, this person was invaded by evil into a demon, and the people of the entire city were refined into dry corpses, and then it was the prince Hou who went to suppress this person, it is said that when he was caught out of the armor, the whole person has become a skeleton, and even the skin and flesh are gone. ”
Kang Yilong's tone trembled when he said this.
"I thought this thing had been destroyed, but I didn't expect that King Hou still kept it and gave it to you, which clearly wanted you to die and end up like the city lord. So you must not say yes! ”
I gasped when I heard this, this Hou Wang is also very poisonous, and he wants me to die.
But I also frowned, the other party was planning to bring this evil treasure, Kang Yilong told me not to agree, is it so easy?
The next moment, Hou Lingxiao was really in trouble.
He saw that Kang Yilong's expressions were wrong, and his face sank suddenly.
"Brother Zhou, King Hou specially brought you a treasure armor, but you didn't wear it, is it a gift from King Hou? I tell you, if you look down on our Hou family, and the Hou King doesn't want to send you congratulatory gifts, then you must kneel down to me and apologize. Hou Lingxiao pointed at me and shouted, his voice shook the sky, forcing me to make a choice.
"That's right, if you don't accept the treasure armor, you won't give the Hou King face, if this matter doesn't end properly, my Hou family won't give up." Behind Hou Lingxiao, some people also stood up and agreed.
