Ma Yu inspected the grouping of Shi Ziling and Duanmuxuan, and finally put his mind at ease for the time being.

Shi Ziling is divided into the eighth group, although there are candidates recommended by a great family like Li Feiran in this group, but it is expected that he is not Shi Ziling's opponent, let alone the other two. As for the first group where Duanmu Xuan is located, the opponents are all nobodies, and it is expected that Duanmu Xuan will not have a problem entering the knockout round as the first in the group.

And once both of them have entered the knockout round as the first in the group, then according to the rules, Duanmuxuan will play against the second place in the eighth group, which is likely to be Li Feiran, so it will be staggered with Shi Ziling.

Although Li Feiran may not be weak, as long as Shi Ziling makes a heavier move against him, so that he cannot recover his full strength in time, it is expected that Duanmu Xuan will be even more dominant at that time.

Ma Yu immediately told Shi Ziling about his wishful thinking, and implored Shi Ziling to be ruthless against Li Feiran.

Shi Ziling smiled dumbly when he heard this, and said: "Brother Ma, you are really confident in me, we haven't started a fight yet, you have already thought so far, what if I lose?"

Ma Yu stretched out the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Ziling, I still need to say that I have confidence in you, I have already studied the list of candidates this time, except for the woman recommended by Chen Gongzhao, I don't know the details of the road, and I know a little bit about the others." The only threat to you should be that Tang Yifei, but even if it's him, I don't believe he will be more difficult than Chen Zhongda's beast. ”

"Now that the grouping has been decided, if nothing else, Tang Yifei will meet you when he enters four and two, so that the most threatening opponent against Duanmu Xuan will not exist, this is really everything under control, Ha Lu Ha ......"

Ma Yu said proudly, fanned the folding fan in his hand again and again, and unconsciously shook his head again.

Shi Ziling saw that Ma Yu was so confident in himself, and he could only smile bitterly. Originally, he didn't pay much attention to winning or losing this time, but if he really lost, wouldn't it disrupt Ma Yu's good calculation? It seems that in order to ensure that this good friend has no last resort, he can't say that he really has to sell his strength.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the sergeants watching the battle below, and everyone looked towards the seat where the castle guard was located, and at the same time they were talking about something in their ears.

Shi Ziling and Ma Yu followed the prestige, only to see Su Bairen, Chen Gongzhao, Ma Dai and others standing up one after another, greeting a man and a woman. These two people can make Lord Cheng Shousu take the initiative to stand up and greet them, obviously their identities must be extraordinary.

Shi Ziling stared at it and saw that the man was a tall old man with a red face, and the woman beside him was carrying a long sword and fluttering in white, like a fairy out of the dust, but it was Ye Zhenzhen, the owner of Tongle Fang.

Su Bairen bowed to the two of them, and said with an elegant smile: "I want to be selected for the position of deputy general in Songhu City, and it is really an honor to invite the Duanmu family master and Miss Ye to watch the battle." ”

The tall old man was the head of the Duanmu family, the largest family in the east, Duanmu Hong, and he smiled and said: "Lord Su is polite, it's all because my youngest grandson Duanmu Xuan wants to play for Songhu City, and he must come to compete for the position of deputy general, I, who is a grandfather, have to come to win the end, and by the way, I also appreciate the demeanor of many young heroes nowadays, hehe......."

"It's just that I didn't expect Miss Ye from Caiyunxuan to come too, and it is my old man's honor to be able to watch this martial arts competition with Miss Ye, ha, ha, haha......, ha

Ye Zhenzhen smiled indifferently, saluted Master Su and the others back, and said: "The little girl heard that this elite gathering of deputy general selection, and the largest big families in the world have recommended masters to participate, so she also wants to open her eyes." ”

This time the competition selected the deputy general, because there were candidates from all over the Mingyue Continent to participate, so the Songhu City Government specially invited some famous families in the city to observe and show justice.

Although several major families in the west, north, central and south all had players participating, there were no heavyweight family figures who came to watch the game, and I didn't expect Duanmu Hong, the head of the largest Duanmu family in the east, to come to watch the game in person, which was really unexpected by everyone.

What I didn't expect was that Ye Zhenzhen, the owner of Tongle Fang, would also come, you must know that although Tongle Fang is just a famous gambling house, Ye Zhenzhen's other identity Caiyun Xuan's future successor is not trivial, Caiyun Xuanxuan's lord Gongsun Auntie is now recognized as a great master of swordsmanship, and her ranking on the list is still above Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan, second only to Yuan Shi Tianzun Li Du.

Ye Zhenzhen, the descendant of Gongsun Auntie, entered the mortal world, and he was the strongest leader among the younger generation. In a selection of deputy generals in Songhu City, it is really an honor for Lord Su to invite these two world-famous celebrities to watch the battle.

Shi Ziling's hearing was amazing, and he could hear the conversation of a few people in the VIP table clearly from a distance, and he felt a little strange in his heart, why did Ye Zhenzhen come here to watch this kind of competition, did he want to know more about his opponent before the fifteenth covenant?

Ma Yu coughed dryly and said, "Ziling, I'm going to visit Duanmu Hong, you have a good competition, remember to be ruthless to that Li Feiran, please! please......" As he spoke, he rushed to the VIP seat where Duanmu Hong was.

Shi Ziling looked at Ma Yu's hurried figure, and secretly thought that Duanmu Hong and your family are in-laws, and he must have met you many times, is it necessary to be in such a hurry to visit?

Sure enough, after seeing Ma Yu from a distance and saluting Duanmu Hong over there, he immediately stood beside Ye Zhenzhen, talking to her from time to time.

Shi Ziling secretly sighed that Ye Zhenzhen's charm is really extraordinary, and even a gentleman like Ma Yu is inevitably heavy on color and light on friends.

The martial arts stage is very large, ten times larger than the martial arts training hall of ordinary large families, enough for ten pairs of players to fight on it at the same time. However, this time, only eight pairs of players were actually arranged, that is, two of the four players in each group were on stage first, and the other two were waiting to watch below.

The first group of Shi Ziling to take the stage were Li Tianlong and Shi Ziling, and Li Feiran and Li Zhi watched below, and then went up to compete after they finished fighting.

Shi Ziling has been practicing in retreat for the past few days, and he has consciously improved a little in the linkage control of true yuan, spiritual power and magic power, but he still doesn't know what kind of power Lu Dao will have in actual combat. I thought that this competition would have to be fought many times, and it was just a good opportunity for actual combat drills, so I secretly decided to take this opportunity to hone my mental power and magic power linkage control.

After the two stood still, they each reported their names, and Li Tianlong showed a bright machete and shouted, "Please advise!"

Shi Ziling was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to show his blade directly as soon as he came up, although he brought an "icebreaking" short sword this time, but he didn't plan to use it, mainly because he didn't study the swordsmanship much, but before coming to Songhu City, he took a few of their ancestral martial arts classics from the Yu family in Pan'an and read them for three days.

Although there are also swordsmanship in these classics, they are almost a version of swordsmanship derived from the Yu family's eight-style health preservation method, and there are no special moves.

Although under Shi Ziling's own pondering, the Yu family's eight styles have undergone earth-shaking changes and power, but every time he uses his hand on the enemy after that, he fights with his bare hands, and if these tricks are used on the blade, it is unknown whether he will be equally handy.

Li Tianlong on the opposite side seemed to be an anxious man, seeing that Shi Ziling did not draw his sword for a long time, and thought that the opponent was underestimating him, he shook the machete in his hand, and stepped forward to slash the door of Shi Ziling.

Shi Ziling looked at Li Tianlong's pace and the strength of the knife, and already had a general understanding of his strength, and it was estimated that it would be enough to deal with it without a sword.

Without waiting for Li Tianlong to change his move, Shi Ziling's left palm was lightly raised after the true yuan of his whole body was circulated, and he had already swung towards the opponent's forehead, while his right palm was condensed, and when Li Tianlong raised his knife to seal the frame, he could slap the handle of his knife to make his machete out of his hand.

Who would have thought that Li Tianlong took a step to the right, and on the side of his forehead, he actually slammed straight into Shi Ziling's left palm, and the knife in his hand was strong with a strong wind, but it slashed into the gap next to Shi Ziling's right shoulder.

Shi Ziling was puzzled, although his left palm was a false move, but as long as Zhenyuan vomited, it could be turned into a real move at any time, why did this guy hit his palm with his forehead, aren't you afraid that you will smash his head?

Then there is the knife that Li Tianlong swung out next, and actually slashed at the empty space next to Shi Ziling's right shoulder, this way of fighting, even if he wants to fight for both sides, it is not such a spell? How can there be a reason to hit his forehead into the opponent's palm and the knife in his hand to the empty place?

In desperation, Shi Ziling had no choice but to take away the strength in his palm, patted Li Tianlong lightly on the forehead, and then took a step back and stood still, looking at the other party to see how he reacted.

Li Tianlong was about to change his move after being avoided by the opponent with a knife just now, when he saw Shi Ziling's left palm rising to his forehead, he wanted to swing the knife to block, but suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and he saw three palms slapping at him at the same time.

Li Tianlong was surprised in his heart, he understood that ordinary people with exquisite palm skills could turn into countless palm shadows, but in front of him were clear three palms and three powers, obviously not the phantom of palm conjure, fortunately, the strength contained in the opponent's palm did not seem to be strong, and the speed was not too fast.

Li Tianlong took a closer look, and finally found that one of the three palms attacked was a little bigger, and the other was a little smaller, in his mind, the one on the left must be a real palm, so he took a step sideways to the right to avoid the palm, and at the same time slashed the machete in his hand to the opponent's right shoulder.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound on his forehead, the heavy slash of the machete in Li Tianlong's hand also missed, and he rushed forward with his body before he stood still. He hurriedly put away his knife and protected it in front of him, looking up at the stone tomb opposite.

Shi Ziling was also deeply surprised by Li Tianlong's inexplicable play, but fortunately he didn't mean to hurt anyone, he just patted the other party's forehead as a warning, and when he saw the other party staring blankly at his left hand, he couldn't help but be a little funny, and asked: "This Brother Li, what's wrong with you, have you drunk too much?"

"I ....... I saw three palms, and I obviously struck the last knife, why are you ......?"

Li Tianlong looked puzzled and said hesitantly.

"Oh, three palms?"

Shi Ziling's heart suddenly felt excited, so the reason why Li Tianlong was so abnormal was not because he was drunk or crazy, but because he saw an illusion.

Just now, Shi Ziling raised his palm, whether it was his palm or his body, it was infused with true yuan power, and at the same time, the spiritual power and magic power in his body naturally linked out, but he didn't expect this to make the other party have an illusion in front of him, no wonder it would automatically hit his palm.

"Brother Li, why don't we try it again?" Shi Ziling asked tentatively.

Li Tianlong's mind calmed down a little, and he realized that he was not injured, looked at the other seven pairs of players who were playing hotly on the side, and then looked at Shi Ziling, and said secretly in his heart: "Come here, I'm afraid that you won't succeed, I don't believe what your ghost tricks can do to me." ”

He didn't say much, just like just now, he broke through the middle lane again, and slashed straight at the door of Shiziling.

Shi Ziling also made a wrong step under his feet, dodging the opponent's attack and then taking advantage of the situation to raise his left hand and tease the opponent's forehead.

Li Tianlong saw that the other party's left hand turned into three palms and slapped them on his forehead with three different forces, the same palm on the right was large, the middle one was small, and the left one was not big or small.

"Since it was wrong to bet on the left one just now, this time I will bet on the right one. Li Tianlong took a step to the left while thinking, and the knife in his hand changed to a sweep, and swept horizontally towards Shi Ziling's waist.

"Smack!"

There was another crisp sound, and at the same time that Li Tianlong was slapped on the forehead, the knife in his hand was also swept away again, and he stumbled under his feet again. He was so angry that he shook his head fiercely, and without waiting for Shi Ziling to speak, he shouted: "Come again!"

This time, he still swung his knife in the middle and slashed straight towards the door of Shi Ziling, Shi Ziling was not in a hurry, and also avoided the knife momentum in the same wrong step, and then advanced his left hand to Li Tianlong's forehead.

Li Tianlong had already retracted his knife momentum this time, and slashed fiercely at the one that was smaller in the middle of the three palms that attacked head-on.

"Smack!"

There was still a crisp sound, Li Tianlong's forehead was slapped again, and his swing of the knife still fell short.

Li Tianlong was panting, frightened and angry, and stared blankly at the Shiziling in front of him, not knowing what to do.
