Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Battle of the Martial Arts

Kirithara was very happy to see the three of them come back, and hurriedly asked them if the news went well.

Shi Ziling roughly explained what had happened, and said: "Xiao Fang and Xiao Zheng's actions tonight are a bit eye-catching, and they may attract the attention of the Bamboo Union Gang. In order to prevent the people of the Yan Sect from making trouble for them, let them temporarily move to our main hall for a few days, and then move back here when things have calmed down. ”

The Tongyuan brothers were a little scared when they heard this, and Shi Ziling smiled: "I'm just talking about just in case, you are Xiaoxiang's brother, I don't want you to say that in case something happens." After the 'Martial Arts Tournament', I will definitely eradicate the 'Yan Sect', and you won't have to worry about it then." ”

"Let Xiao Xiang accompany you more in the past few days, her current strength is not what it used to be, and it is expected that there are few people in that 'Yan Ming Sect' who can be her opponent. ”

Kirithara Xiang said to the two elder brothers: "Whoever let you two eat so fat, people will be able to recognize you at a glance." I usually don't pay attention to practice, and now I can't even beat the people of the small Bamboo Union Gang. It's still the master of the door who thinks thoughtfully, and it will be foolproof for you to live on the side of our main altar. ”

"I've already bought a plot of land near the main altar and am about to build a new house, so you two can go there as overseers if you have nothing to do. This old house is also dilapidated, and I was planning to hire someone to completely renovate it, and now you move out to kill two birds with one stone. ”

"You go to the main altar to avoid the limelight, I will ask someone to renovate this old mansion, and when the limelight passes, if you want to move back in the future, you can also live comfortably." ”

Kirihara Fang was surprised and said, "Xiaoxiang, you have made a fortune in just a few days after you became a Dharma protector? ”

Kirihara Masaya said: "No wonder everyone wants to climb up, our family is really blessed to have Xiaoxiang's sister! It seems that the two of us also have to work harder, otherwise we will be laughed at." ”

Kirihara Xiang said with a smile: "We got rich because we found the treasure left by the 'skeleton pirates' on the way back to Higashirishima, and the owner of the gate gave me a box of treasure, and it is no problem to buy a few more pieces of land and build a few more houses." Of course you two are blessed to have me as a good sister......"

In the days that followed, the Bamboo Union Gang and the Yan Ming Sect were really panicked for a while because the Demon Cave where the Heartless Mage was practicing was discovered, and although their people burned the Demon Cave in time and left no evidence of the crime, there was still news that their mage had mutilated innocent children to practice the evil law on Dongli Island.

On the surface, the Yan Sect has always been a regular sect, and only a few core backbones have practiced it. They were also deeply afraid that the news of the mutilation of innocent children would be encircled and suppressed by the major sects, so the leader of the Yan Ming Sect, Guoxin Jushi, issued an order that all the sect members should be cautious in their words and deeds before the start of the martial arts competition, and try to avoid similar unfavorable news coming out as much as possible.

At the same time, the Yan Sect secretly sent someone to investigate the origin of the matter, but only found that the person who entered the demon cave that night was only a strange young man, and from the analysis of the wounds on the dead bodies inside and outside the demon cave, this person was extremely strong, and almost effortlessly killed all the masters such as Wuxin Mage and Oda Kiri.

In addition, there was news that Master Wuchun, the junior disciple of the Guoxin Layman, was also killed at sea by the female disciple of the "Dead Evil Night Gate", Kirithara Xiang, and the young man beside her, who was the new master of the "Dead Evil Night Gate", Shi Ziling, was probably the young man who entered the demon cave that night.

For a while, the hearts of the Yan Ming Sect and the Bamboo Union Gang fluctuated, and everyone was suspicious of these news. The "Gate of Dead and Evil Night", which has been in the limelight for many years, seems to have improved overnight, and the important figures in the Yan Sect who are in the limelight have been killed one after another, which has shaken everyone's confidence in the mythical Yan Sect.

On the one hand, the disciples and the members of the Triple Society were mobilized to spread the evil deeds of the Yan Ming Sect out of the world, so that they did not dare to continue to do evil for the time being, and on the other hand, they also tightened the precautions of each hall to prevent the Yan Ming Sect from suddenly retaliating.

The great general Oda Shin also invested a lot of manpower and material resources to cooperate, and for a while, the prestige of the Yan Underworld Sect plummeted. It is even rumored that the leader of the Yan Ming Sect, Guoxin Jushi, is just a demon, and he will definitely be defeated in this martial arts competition, and it is likely that the new master of the "Dead Night Gate" will be Shi Ziling.

On the 10th day of October, the 10-year martial arts tournament officially kicked off in the largest martial arts arena in Edo Castle on Higashirishima.

All the major schools on Higashi-Rido Island appeared, and Her Majesty's plenipotentiary "Prince Zan" loudly announced the official start of the tournament in front of all the participating schools, and the three major generals Oda Shin, Tokugawa Shu, and Takeda Gen all attended.

The tournament is still divided into two categories: boxing and kendo, of which as long as they participate in empty-handed fighting, they are classified into the boxing group, and there is no restriction on which kind of fist palm or leg technique is used;

Regardless of whether it is the boxing group or the kendo group, the top three who can enter the bottom three will be awarded the title of strongest samurai by the empress.

According to the rules, players who participate in the boxing competition can also participate in the kendo competition at the same time, as long as you have enough strength, the rules do not restrict anyone from competing in both groups at the same time.

Because of the large number of people participating in the martial arts competition held every ten years, it is a one-day competition in boxing and a one-day competition in kendo, and there is no conflict in time, as long as the physical strength and true yuan of the players can withstand the test of continuous competition.

However, most of the schools on Higashirido Island specialize in one skill, and few masters can do both, and no one has ever been able to enter the top three of both boxing and kendo competitions at the same time.

Shi Ziling and Sakura Xinmei fought as representatives of the "Dead and Evil Night Gate". Sakura Xinmei participated in the boxing competition, and her Yin Feng Palm and Xuan Yin Finger have good attainments, and her goal is to enter the final eight.

And Shi Ziling is two-handed, although he is not good at swordsmanship, but his strength has reached his level, whether there is a blade in his hand is actually not a big difference, and he does not care whether his opponent has a blade in his hand.

Nana Hyakka made a list of the main opponents for the two of them early, including in addition to the Yama Sect's Fruit Heart Lay and Master Wuqiu, there are also Iga Rantaro of Iga Stream, Fu Hanzo, the strongest retainer under General Tokugawa Shu, Shirakawa Yu, the head of the Broken Water Stream, and Guiguzi of the Guigu faction.

Nana Baihua said: "The biggest opponents of the master in the boxing group this time should be the two of Guoxin Jushi and Fu Hanzang. After the completion of the illusion of the fruit heart, in recent years, the front has been strong and has few enemies. And Fukuhanzo was the first place in the last boxing group, and last time our Kato master was defeated by his men before he was relegated to third. ”

"This person is over seventy years old, Zhenyuan is extremely profound, and his 'empty fist' is very famous in Dongli Island. It's just that he has always been the most relied on retainer of General Tokugawa Shu, although he is the head of the 'empty gate', he never accepts disciples outside the clan, and the disciples are his children, nephews and grandchildren, and the number is small, so the reputation of the 'empty gate' is not too loud. ”

"Xinmei is now a big boost, and if she hadn't met these two people too early in the knockout round, she would still have a good chance of entering the top 10. ”

Sakura Xinmei said: "Xinmei is in the mood to fight hard this time, no matter who I meet, I will do my best, and I will never embarrass us at the 'Dead Night Gate'." ”

Shi Ziling said: "I know that you attach great importance to this competition, but as I have always said, the first and second in the martial arts are just a false name after all, you just need to do your best." The process of constantly discovering one's potential is the most valuable, and don't pay too much attention to the last ranking. ”

Sakura Xinmei nodded with a smile, for her, it was a great honor to be able to unexpectedly represent her own sect this time, and she had secretly made up her mind to make a difference to correct the name of the female disciples of the 'Dead Night Gate'.
