When Xiao Chen woke up, the sun had already reached the top of his head, and it was noon.

"It's still too reluctant, it is estimated that I will have to rest for three days to fully recover, and the consumption of essence and blood is too great. Xiao Chen got up and rubbed his temples and walked towards the gate of the Xiao Mansion.

The two guards in front of the gate saw Xiao Chen's appearance, and immediately ran towards him, and said happily: "Second young master, you are finally back, the head of the family has been looking for you for a morning, you should hurry up and go to the hall." ”

Xiao Chen was shocked, he looked for himself for a morning, there must be something important, and after thanking him, he hurriedly walked towards the hall.

At this time, the people in the hall had dispersed, only Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong were still left, Xiao Chen rushed over and immediately said, "Sorry, I'm late." ”

Xiao Xiong glanced at Xiao Chen, and said with some confusion in his eyes: "Why is your face so bad, what did you do last night, I heard them say that you were in Yulu's room, and you came out very late." ”

Xiao Qiang next to him also looked at him in surprise, obviously asking him to give an answer. His current appearance is too much like the face he looks after doing something, coupled with Xiao Chen's previous reputation, so it is inevitable that people will not think of it.

Xiao Chen was embarrassed in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "Great Elder, don't misunderstand, after I finished chatting with Yu Yu last night, I went out, and my face was so bad because something went wrong with my practice. ”

"Forget it, don't talk about it, I called you here today, mainly to discuss with you, the matter of the ten-year covenant martial arts. Xiao Xiong saw that Xiao Chen was still going to explain, so he interrupted him and said.

Looking at the expression of the Great Elder, Xiao Chen wanted to tell him about yesterday's events carefully, but since Xiao Xiong had spoken, he didn't dare to continue.

Xiao Xiong continued: "You should be clear about the rules of martial arts in the ten-year covenant, now the candidates can't be changed, Xiao Jian and Xiao Yubin can't play, they can only rely on you alone, if there is pressure, I won't force you." ”

"I'm not talking about any scenes, a seven-pointed mountain range has been lost, and it can be recaptured in the future, I hope you will think clearly before answering, you are my biological son after all. Xiao Xiong's words were sincere, without any hypocrisy.

Xiao Chen thought about it for a while, and then said, "I won't give up, I have to fight for it no matter what." ”

He had his own decision in his heart, no matter what the outcome of the ten-year covenant was, he would leave the Xiao family, and if he left the Xiao family like this without doing anything, he would feel uneasy in his heart for the rest of his life.

Xiao Xiong looked at Xiao Chen deeply, and said slowly: "Come with me, Great Elder, you also come along, the Xiao family's accumulation over hundreds of years is also the time to use it." ”

Xiao Qiang's heart sank, knowing where Xiao Xiong was going, the expression on his face became solemn.

Xiao Chen followed behind the two of them, turned a long way, and behind many obstacles, there was actually a hidden exit.

In some places, Xiao Chen has even been here many times, but he didn't find it, and there was a cave in the back, and finally the two people in front stopped in front of the door of a basement.

Xiao Qiang and Xiao Xiong, each of them took out a key, and then put it together, opened the door of the basement, and Xiao Chen followed in.

In the basement is actually a treasure collection room, the Xiao family has all kinds of collections from Qijiao Mountain for hundreds of years, all of which are here, soul soldiers, secret treasures, battle armor, pills, martial arts, everything.

Xiao Chen was secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't have imagined that there was such a large treasure room under the Xiao family, those soul soldiers were all Xuan-rank, the highest was Xuan-rank, and many of the martial arts were Xuan-rank, and there were many fourth-grade and fifth-grade pills.

But Xiao Chen has the Moon Shadow Knife in his hand that can become a heavenly soldier, a wood carving that can be comparable to a high-level secret treasure, and the martial arts inheritance of the Thunder Emperor. For the rest of the Xiao family, every thing here would make people ecstatic, but Xiao Chen didn't have much interest.

Xiao Xiong picked up a battle armor and said: "You should not lack other things, martial arts and soul soldiers, this Xuanjie battle armor is made of the soft skin of the belly of the Demon Beast, and when necessary, it can save your life." ”

Xiao Chen took the battle armor and looked at it, this battle armor was very thin, only a little thicker than ordinary clothes, and wearing it on the body did not affect the movement at all.

It's a good thing, Xiao Chen said with some joy in his heart, this kind of defensive armor is difficult to buy on the market, and it is also something that Xiao Chen needs very much.

"Okay, I guess you won't be able to look at anything else. Xiao Xiong looked at Xiao Chen, paused and said, "Just choose a few random ones, and it will be regarded as your compensation." ”

Xiao Chen couldn't refuse, so he took a few things casually, put the battle armor directly on his body, and then left here.

Six days passed in a blink of an eye, and the ten-year martial arts conference finally officially began.

Xiao Chen has been studying the Ben Thunder Sword Technique for six days, and most of his current martial arts are learned by using the Dou Sheng's Source Changing Technique, and it is difficult to comprehend the essence of it.

Only this Ben Thunder Sword Technique has a complete manuscript, of course, within the last time, strive to learn it all, especially the last move Ben Thunder Three Consecutive Slash, the power is close to the ground level martial arts.

As soon as the sky was bright, Xiao Chen hurriedly got up, everyone in the Xiao family had already gathered at the door, and after Xiao Xiong saw Xiao Chen coming, he immediately led everyone towards the warrior square.

The annual martial arts competition in Mohe City began three days ago, but everyone knows that the real highlight of this martial arts meeting is in the ten-year covenant, the battle between the three major families of Mohe City.

The square is crowded with people, and the people of the three major families walk in the crowd one after another, and on the high platform of the square, there is an attic specially built for the three families, which can overlook the entire warrior square.

"The people of the Xiao family are here, didn't they say that two of their contestants were injured and couldn't participate? ”

"Look at what their faces look like they are all black, the news of the two injuries seems to be true, but surely they have to try their luck. ”

"What do you know, if Xiao Chen is not injured, there is still hope for the Xiao family. ”

"Xiao Chen, no matter how powerful he is, he can't help the wheel battle, I think the Xiao family will lose. ”

All kinds of voices in the crowd came into the ears of everyone in the Xiao family, making their originally ugly faces even more ugly.

"Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're finally out of the customs!" When everyone was about to ascend to the attic, the head of the Zhang and Tang families came over.

Xiao Xiong smiled faintly and said: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, Tang Tian, the combination of the Zhang family and the Leng family is in my expectation, I really didn't expect you to jump out." ”

Tang Tian sneered: "Qijiao Mountain can't be, it has always been occupied by a foreign family. ”

The head of the Zhang family opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Xiong, we are not here to talk to you, we want to discuss something with you, I don't know if you will consider it if you have a suggestion." ”

"Your Xiao family and our two families, how about resolving the grievances of a hundred years together today, as long as Xiao Chen can win Tang Feng and Zhang He today, then the remaining four of us will not come out, and your Xiao family will win. ”

Xiao Xiong thought quickly in his mind, what the head of the Zhang family meant, only sent two people to fight Xiao Chen, but the condition was that the two battles must be completed together today.

This meaning is obvious, that is, he wants to use wheel warfare to drag Xiao Chen down and not give him a chance to rest, but it can make him fight four less battles.

After Xiao Chen heard this suggestion, his eyes lit up, but he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he didn't have many martial arts, if there were too many battles, it would be easy for the opponent to see the truth and falsehood, this suggestion was exactly what Xiao Chen meant.

Seeing Xiao Chen nodding to himself secretly, Xiao Xiong opened his mouth and said: "It's really a joke, do you think I will agree? Find a contestant from the Leng family who hurt my Xiao family, and now come to this condition, is Xiao Xiong a fool when I am a fool?"

Tang Tian smiled and said, "Xiao Xiong, do you think you still have a choice?" This is the best advice for you, six battles are reduced to two, I don't think you have the need to refuse." ”

The head of the Zhang family said: "Brother Xiao, I have already sent someone to call the city lord, you can think about it." ”

After a while, Dugu Feng came here, and after seeing Xiao Xiong, he hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Brother Xiao for getting out of the customs, I heard that the two contestants of your Xiao family were injured, is there such a thing." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Xiong to answer, Tang Tian told Dugu Feng his suggestion, and Dugu Feng muttered after hearing it: "The rules of the competition, the contestants cannot be changed, Xiao Xiong, if you really have two contestants who can't participate, why don't you just accept this suggestion?"

In the end, under Dugufeng's suggestion, Xiao Xiong "reluctantly" accepted this opinion, Xiao Chen really sweated beside him, this Xiao Xiong's acting skills were so realistic that he almost deceived him.

On the Warrior Square, on the highest and largest ring, Dugu Feng stood on it and said to the crowd below: "Today is the last day of the martial arts meeting, presumably everyone is here for the martial arts competition meeting of this ten-year covenant, and now I announce one thing." ”

"Because the two contestants of the Xiao family were injured and could not participate in this martial arts, the three decided to temporarily change the rules after discussion, as long as Xiao Chen of the Xiao family can defeat Zhang He and Tang Feng in a row, the Xiao family can win this martial arts, on the contrary, as long as they lose one game, they will lose the ownership of Qijiao Mountain. ”

"The two players of the Xiao family really can't participate, I didn't expect this news to be true. Someone at the bottom immediately said in surprise.

"Hehe, this regulation seems to be beneficial to the Xiao family, but in fact, they want to defeat Xiao Chen with wheel warfare, it seems that this Zhang and Tang families have really joined forces. ”

"Yes, I heard that the Xiao family was attacked by unknown masters at night some time ago, and I suspect that these two families did it. ”

"What kind of IQ do you have, you still suspect a fart, don't even think about it, it's definitely these two who did it. ”

Countless quarrels and discussions poured into Xiao Chen's ears, and his heart was like water, and he slowly walked through the crowd towards the ring. The shadow of the sculpture of Emperor Tianwu behind the ring is projected on the ring, adding a solemnity and solemnity to the ring.

In today's battle, I will definitely win, and I will not become a stepping stone for others, after ten thousand years, I, Xiao Chen, will definitely stand like the Emperor of Tianwu, Xiao Chen murmured in his heart.

With a resolute gaze, when he was about to approach the ring, Xiao Chen tapped his toes and jumped steadily onto the ring. In a corner of the ring, Zhang He's eyes were cold, and he had been waiting for a long time.

Ten years into the covenant, the first war officially began.
