Chapter 43: Tingshan Sword Preliminary Round (I)
The next day, the sky was fading, and everyone was already concentrated on the top of Tingshan Mountain.
It can be said that there are crowds of people, flags and flags, and the disciples of the major families are all wearing family costumes, and they all erect family flags with the family as a unit.
In the middle of the mountaintop, a martial arts arena suddenly appeared, and dense patterns were painted around the field.
"Second brother, what are those patterns?" Xiao Meng looked curiously at the stage that appeared out of thin air.
"That's called prohibition, it's a kind of formation, it's to prevent the competition in the field, and the Xuan Qi will hurt the people outside the field. Xiao Tian looked at the dense lines and explained.
In the center, two chairs sat side by side, one was sitting the white-robed elder Ji Long, and the other was the city lord Yang Renqing, and there were more than a dozen black-clothed guards standing on either side.
This was the first time Xiao Tian had seen the City Lord, and it was also the first time he had seen someone from the Seven Peaks Sword Sect. The city lord Yang Renqing, wearing a blue brocade suit, is not as tall as he imagined, but a little short, with deep eyes, full of vicissitudes, giving people a feeling of introverted to the extreme. The white-robed elder, Ji Long, had a mysterious qi fluctuation all over his body, giving people a sense of majesty and solemnity, and he did not eat the fireworks of the world.
Suddenly, Xiao Tian found himself locked by a breath, and a pair of lofty eyes looked at him. Raising his head, he found that not far away, the white-robed elder was smiling, staring at his eyes, Xiao Tian began to tighten his mind and looked at each other without fear.
Suddenly, I felt dizzy in my head, and the sky was spinning for a while, as if I was about to faint.
"Damn, what the hell is this old man doing?" Xiao Tian shook his somewhat dizzy head, and in his mind, a voice suddenly sounded, as if he was reciting the mantra "Too high a star, strain without stopping,......".
After reading it, the dizzy head instantly sobered up, Xiao Tian came back to his senses, and no longer looked at the eyes of the white-robed old man. Seeing Xiao Tian's reaction, Ji Long, who was sitting on the master, was slightly surprised, and looked at Xiao Tian, his eyes were full of surprise, "Interesting, interesting, this kid can actually resist my soul attack." ”
"Woo woo woo~"
A horn sounded, and the crowd under the practice stage began to be restless.
"Quiet". The white-robed elder stood up and looked at everyone in the audience.
The noisy competition platform instantly quieted down, and they all looked at Ji Long in the center of the stage.
The white-robed old man Ji Long slowly spoke, "This time, the martial arts competition is divided into two stages, the first stage is the preliminary round, all the disciples who meet the requirements of the conference will enter the arena, fight indiscriminately, leave the last sixteen people, one by one, and the last four can enter the Seven Peaks Sword Sect." ”
"The preliminaries, about to start, I warn you, the conference is not allowed to cheat for personal gain, there are some changes to the rules this year, those who can participate in the preliminaries must be under the age of eighteen, martial arts level five or above, if there are those who dare to pretend and are not afraid of death, you can go to the ring to try it, and you will be banned and killed directly. The black-clothed deacon was in the audience and said solemnly.
Hearing what the black-clothed deacon said, the entire ring was noisy.
"Ah...... Eighteen years old, but I'm just nineteen years old this year, wasn't I twenty years old last time, how can I increase my age..."
"Martial artist level 5... I'm only level four, so it looks like I'll have to wait another three years. ”
"It's... It's a pity ......"
There was a whining voice from below. Complaining is complaining, but no one dared to protest, so he shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Xiao Tian watched the man in black read out the rules, and felt relieved, this kind of competition method is good, at least it saves a lot of time.
There are more than 20 people from the Xiao family who participated in the battle this time, Xiao Tian, Xiao Feng, Xiao Peng, Xiao Yishan, Xiao Meng, and some other side disciples.
The Yue family is headed by Yue Yang and Yue Lingling, and the disciples also have about 20 people, the Tong family, the Tang family, and the disciples enter one after another.
In addition to the four major families, there were about hundreds of other squire families who entered the ring.
In the ring, the disciples of the major families leaned on each other.
In the crowd, Xiao Tian could feel that there were two breaths locking on him, and when he raised his head, Tang Xiao was looking at him with vicious eyes, as if he was going to devour himself alive, and Tong Yuan's breath was also locking on him.
"I warn you, if anyone is over the age or strength is not reached, it is best to come out immediately, once the formation is opened, they will be killed on the spot. The black-clad deacon emphasized again.
For a long time, the whole ring, no one walked down.
The black-clothed deacon swept the crowd in the martial arts training arena and nodded towards the other four black-clothed deacons on the sidelines. The four black-clothed deacons stood in the south, east, west, and northwest, holding the Dharma in their hands, and whispering incantations at the corners of their mouths.
At what time, the originally clear sky, a gust of wind and clouds, gradually turned into a whirlpool, smashed directly into the ring, the marks on the ring began to shine, a semi-circular barrier, instantly guarded the ring.
Everyone in the ring seemed to be able to feel the trembling of the ring, and the people of the Xiao family gathered tightly together.
"Formation, such a big stroke, it is estimated that only the Seven Peaks Sword Sect can handle it. Yang Renqing squinted, looked at the ring, and said loudly.
"City Lord, you're welcome, this is just a small test. The white-robed old man smiled, and a smug expression leaked from his face.
"Bell Bell Bell ~"
The bell rings and the game begins.
Under the ring, all the family members held their breath and watched the movements of the ring. And everyone in the field drew their long swords, vigilant, beware of others from making a move.
"Form an alliance, deal with the others first" Tong Yuan held the spear, walked to Xiao Tian's side, and said in a cold voice.
"Good. Tang Xiao took the giant big knife and nodded, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Tian.
"I agree. Yue Lingling held the long sword, his face was solemn, ready to attack at any time.
Seeing the three people's weapons, Xiao Tian was stunned, he really didn't expect that this Tang Xiao was also such a large weapon, compared with Yue Da, Tang Xiao's big knife was much larger, and the color was more cold.
The three of them looked at Xiao Tian with questioning eyes.
"I don't care, let's make an alliance first. Xiao Tian shrugged his shoulders.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, while the other squire disciples were nervous.
"Kill!" a roar, and in an instant, the scene began to be chaotic.
The patriarchs of the four major families in the audience stood up from their seats and stared at the ring.
"Choking~"
Tong Yuan took the spear and jumped into the crowd, the speed was extremely fast, like a fish entering the sea, his body turned over the yellow Xuanqi, and the head of the spear fluctuated.
"Brush Brush Brush"
The tip of the spear stabbed continuously, instantly knocking seven people out of the ring, tightening the spear, like a spring, ejecting the spear more than ten meters away, and smashing the ten people in the distance into the ring.
On the other side, Tang Xiao waved a giant broadsword, like a harvester, killing all major martial artists, with every blow, he could knock down a piece, break his arm, break his leg, and even worse, he was cut off on the spot, and blood flowed.
Yue Yang, on the other hand, took the defense as his work, knocked down the attacker, his body moved slightly, the long sword was lightly raised, and he was slightly sharpened, and one person fell to the ground.
Xiao Feng rolled his body, like a dragon, and waved his long sword, wantonly attacking the surrounding mysteries, and with each blow, he could harvest several heads.
Xiao Tian hid in the crowd, like watching a big show, watching the situation develop.
The whole venue is like a battlefield,
Swords, guns and swords are flying all over the sky, the sword aura is everywhere, and the killing intent is soaring.
Sword to sword, to meet, knife to knife, to collide,
The sound of killing shook the sky, and the screams kept ringing out.
Countless have fallen, and countless have risen again,
The whole venue was filled with an invisible smoke of gunpowder.
