Chapter 100: The Battle of the Chiefs (Part 3)
Everyone was looking at Nangong.
Everyone was waiting for him to give an explanation.
Elder Meng Feixiang's eyes widened, staring at Nangong without blinking, and he had a posture of "If you don't tell me the reason, I'll slap you to death with one palm".
Nangong smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "Elder Mo, Elder Meng, I believe you should all know that you ...... eight years ago."
Eight years ago!
Mo Bai and Meng Feixiang glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Behind what Nangong didn't know, he had already entered the sight of the big people in Qinglong City. His information, his past, in front of the two Great Elders of the Supervision Yuan, there is no secret at all.
It's just that now, he suddenly mentioned eight years ago, what was his intention?
"Huh...... For eight years, the inner courtyard has been a dream of a holy place, and it was the pinnacle of my dreams. ”
Nangong smiled, and didn't say much about the past eight years, but changed his words: "But now, I have more important things to do, and what I want to go to is a higher and farther place." Participating in the Inner Court assessment and becoming a disciple of the Inner Court is just to repay a wish of my own childhood. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, the chief position is dispensable to me. That being the case, why not leave the opportunity to those who need it more?"
"Uh...... To put it mildly, with my current strength, who of the four people here can be my opponent?
After Nangong finished speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief.
These words have been brewing in his heart for a long time, and now that he has said them, it seems that he has let go of a shackle that has locked his heart, and the whole person is relaxed.
However, as soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised again, and then fell silent.
Mo Bai glanced at Meng Feixiang, shook his head and smiled bitterly, he thought that this kid would not look down on the chief position, but he didn't expect that what he couldn't look down on was the entire Qinglong Inner Courtyard.
Qinglong City is the first holy land in the mainland, and the inner courtyard is the highest point of the holy land, so the place higher and farther than it must be the drifting island group, and the real holy land Zhongzhou that the vast number of beings yearn for.
Everyone wants to go to the islands, and Zhongzhou is even more desirable, if you zoom in on the whole world, the Qinglong Courtyard in Qinglong City is actually just a small town in the middle of the countryside.
There was a smile of relief in Mo Bai's eyes, and he was worthy of being the person that Miss Lance fancied, and he was already not inferior to anyone if he rushed to this ambition.
Liang Zi glanced at Nangong, but there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes that could not be dissolved, revealing an indescribable throbbing color.
Only she knew Nangong's thoughts best.
She knew there was one more important reason, which he didn't say.
This is the biggest secret between the two - the art of returning yang.
The two of them came to Qinglong City, and their goal has always been very clear, that is, to split the book mountain in the Library Pavilion, to find secrets or clues about the "Art of Returning Yang", and all kinds of things have happened since then. He was caught in the middle of the game, and he couldn't help himself, and until now, this matter has dragged on for too long.
So you remember!
So you remember it all along!
It turns out that you have always been on your mind!
Liang Zi was happy and emotional, caressing the "Tears of the Moon God" around his neck, and suddenly saw Nangong looking over, and the two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.
Silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and after a long silence, she spoke: "Since he abstained, then I will also abstain." ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent again.
Lin Xuanran only shook his head slightly, not surprised by her decision at all. Ye Jianzang's folding fan shook gently, with an expression of "I knew it would be like this".
Mo Bai was obviously quite surprised, and asked, "Reason?"
"Because I like it. ”
She said a very strong reason.
Mo Bai was speechless, but Elder Meng was furious: "Nonsense! What nonsense! What do you think of the battle for the chief? How can you say that you will abstain from voting!"
"Huh?"
Liang Zi raised his eyebrows, and no matter what strength or realm the other party had, he directly replied with a "dissatisfied" look.
"You!"
Meng Feixiang jumped like thunder!
What kind of identity he is, of course, he will not do anything to her, whether to participate or not, it all depends on personal wishes, and no one can force it. If she insisted on abstaining, even the Great Elder of the Supervision Yuan couldn't help her.
Meng Feixiang was so angry that he blew his beard, and the good-natured Mo Bai continued to persuade him, and finally he flicked his sleeves heavily, and simply turned around and left.
There were only five people participating in the battle for the chief, but two people abstained, a very solemn event, but it turned into a farce, Mo Bai was also very helpless about it, and set his sights on the last of the three Nangong trios, Ye Jianzang.
However, before Ye Jianzang could speak, the two young men who had been silent spoke first.
After exchanging a look, the resolute young man spoke, "That being the case...... We also abstained! The position of chief is exciting, but we don't want the glory of charity. But only if ......"
He looked at Nangong and said proudly: "...... If you have to fight me. Not for the chief, not for anything else, just for the victory. I just want to know if your strength is really worthy of your rhetoric. ”
Nangong groaned slightly, and then glanced at the Mobai Great Elder next to him with an inquiring look.
Elder Mo shook his head, and scolded helplessly: "You bear children, you are really messing around! The position of the chief of the hall has become a hot potato in your eyes...... "He simply waved his hand and said, "It's right!"
The people around immediately dispersed, and a circle was vacated.
Nangong clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Please advise!"
"Please advise!"
The boy returned the salute, and silently drew a small hunting knife from his waist.
The knife is not long, less than a foot, but the blade is very bright, sharpened very thin, shining with cold light, and the handle of the knife is wrapped with layers of black strips of cloth, and the curved arc looks more like a sickle.
The boy held the hunting knife behind his hand and rushed forward with a single arrow step.
His movements are not very fast, but there is an indescribable flexibility and weirdness, his demeanor is like a little cheetah, he circles around Nangong, and his eyes are like staring at his prey.
Suddenly, a low roar came out of his mouth, and he swooped up from behind Nangong, and the hunting knife in his hand slashed silently.
He used the back of his sword, not the blade, apparently with the present situation in mind, so he had reservations.
Nangong was only slightly sideways, so he flashed the knife, turned his head and smiled: "You can't hurt me, just let it go." ”
The conscience of heaven and earth, what he said is really the real truth.
In his opinion, the boy's movements were simply surprisingly slow, and every movement could be accurately captured.
Although the young man's steps were light and silent to outsiders, in his ears, they sounded like a drum, and he could hear it even if he covered his ears.
Even Nangong himself felt a little inexplicable, he didn't know when he had this ability, it was like waking up, his body suddenly became countless times stronger.
Faintly, he even had an intuition that even if he didn't fight back, he would not be able to hurt himself in the slightest if he let this young man slash with a knife.
It's like ......
"A ferocious beast in human skin?"
A strange thought rose in his heart, and as soon as Nangong made a mistake, he flashed the young man's knife again.
Hearing Nangong's words, the young man was like an angry beast, screaming fiercely in his mouth, stabbing one after another, and ruthlessly letting go and killing.
For a while, the shadows of the swords in the hall were horizontal, and the two of them were in a mess.
The boy's speed grew faster and faster, and he slowly danced into a gray shadow.
From this young man's clothing, weapons, and his fighting style, it is not difficult to guess that he should be a hunter in the mountains, self-taught, fierce knife skills, although not systematic, nor routine, but between the recruitment, there is his own set of unique style, no worse than those exquisite knife skills.
Moreover, his true qi has always been contained, even in the most fierce battles, he has never leaked a single penny, there is no sword qi, there is no gorgeous light and shadow, but it has the most terrifying lethality.
This control and understanding are breathtaking.
"What an uncarved piece of jade!"
The Great Elder Mobai nodded again and again, with a slight smile on his face.
With his realm and strength, of course, it is not difficult to see that as long as Nangong makes a move, this young man will definitely be defeated. Even in the few breaths he nodded and praised, he saw that Nangong had at least three chances to defeat this young man with one blow.
However, what surprised him even more was Nangong.
Compared to this beast-like boy, Nangong's speed was much slower, but he seemed to be able to predict the prophet, and every time he was slightly misaligned, he could make the young man's sword power fall short.
And he just dodged and sent any attacks.
In contrast, the judgment is made from above.
Lookers-on see most of the game.
Ye Jianzang, who was on the side, also saw the clue at this time, and said softly: "Ah Zi, you say ...... What the hell is this nerd waiting for?"
"I don't know. Liang Zi shook his head.
Lin Xuanran, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Face." ”
"Face?" Ye Jianzang was slightly stunned, and then suddenly said, "You mean...... The nerd is saving face for the boy, and he doesn't want him to fall too quickly?"
Lin Xuanran nodded slightly, then shook his head again, and corrected: "Won." ”
"Win too fast?"
Ye Jianzang was not used to the way she spoke, and he was a little unclear when he heard the words, so he was about to ask, but at this moment, there was a sudden "snort", and the two figures entangled on the field parted.
I saw Nangong slap his palm on the young man's wrist, pushing him away, and stepping out half a foot away with a single movement. The garment on his chest was torn open in a long way up to the hem.
"Haha...... It's me who lost!"
Nangong glanced at his chest, suddenly laughed, and arched his hand: "Your Excellency's strength is high, admire!"
"Snort...... I despise this kind of trick the most!", Ye Jianzang said in a low voice.
The young man breathed heavily, but he stayed in place, looked at Nangong with a complicated expression, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.
Ye Jianzang is a clear bystander, but he is not confused.
He had already seen that his strength was far inferior to Nangong, and he had already seen that Nangong was deliberately giving in. In the battle, Nangong was bent on how to make this young man win the glory, and the same young man was also trying his best not to let himself lose too quickly. That's how we are today.
The realms of the two are almost the same, they are both in the early stage of the third-order spirit gathering, but the difference in strength is too far.
The young man has lived in the mountains for a long time, and has dealt with all kinds of fierce beasts and spirit beasts since he was a child, and the various fierce beasts that died in his hands are not a thousand but eight hundred, but he never imagined that there would be such a human being in the world whose body is stronger than the fierce beast!
The boy was very lost and at a loss.
He won, but he also lost!
Won the battle and lost to Nangong.
He wanted to say something, but looking at the person in front of him, he really didn't know what to say.
Nangong smiled, not pretentious, and said directly: "This brother, you have your insistence, and I also have my path, this chief position is not intended to give in, but I really don't need it." It is fitting that you are the chief elder brother. If it's up to me to do it, haha...... Isn't it to occupy the pit and not?"
The last sentence was said very vulgarly, but it was just right to eliminate the embarrassment of the young man.
Seeing the sincerity he said, the young man was also relieved, he glanced at Nangong deeply and stretched out his hand.
"Noon Ten Tombs. ”
"Nangong book. ”
"One day, I will defeat you with my own hands!"
"Haha, ready to wait!"
