In the palace of the ancient city, on the huge square, one after another figures sat down, the princes and ministers of Shangyang Kingdom were all coming, just above the square was a large hall, there was a dragon chair and a golden dragon and phoenix table in front of the main hall, there were some fruits on the table, there were two palace maids standing on both sides of the dragon chair, responsible for pouring tea and pouring water and peeling the fruit, and a eunuch stood on the lower left side of the dragon chair.

The princes and ministers sat on both sides of the square, and in the center of the square, there were three large martial arts platforms, and there was a person from the Lingquan realm standing on each martial arts platform, who was the host of this Shangyang competition.

The people of the five major sects and some princely children slowly arrived, and they also took their seats one after another, and those princes, ministers and the leaders of the five major sects began to talk, talking and laughing, polite, and the scene was very harmonious.

After a while, a long line came, it was Murong Xiu's team, Murong Xiu was sitting in the sedan chair, Murong Yi was walking next to the sedan chair, his eyes scanned the audience, with a hint of pride and contempt, with a sense of emperor, completely changed the appearance of yesterday when he was laughing with Xiang Yunsheng and Xiang Nuolan, at this time, he is the real prince!

Everyone looked at the procession and got up one after another to greet the arrival of the Holy Lord and the Crown Prince.

The team walked slowly, then stopped in the square, the sedan chair was put down, Murong Xiu walked out of it, and then the entire square bowed.

"Your Majesty!"

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The sound was rolling, Murong Xiu nodded slightly, and Murong Yi obediently followed behind him and walked towards the dragon chair.

After Murong Xiu landed, Murong Yi left the dragon chair, went to a seat below Murong Xiu, looked at the seat of the Xiangya Sword Sect, and finally stopped on Xiang Nuolan's delicate and beautiful face.

Murong Xiu looked at everyone present and said with a smile: "The reason for today's gathering, you all already know, Xuanyang Academy recruits disciples, and each ordinary kingdom wants to select fifty elites to go, so I held this Shangyang martial arts competition, and I just happened to see your Tianjiao's demeanor!" ”

He glanced at the audience and said: "Since Wu'er is from the five realms of Lingquan, no one among you has reached this realm for the time being, so I will give him a quota, and he doesn't have to participate in the competition anymore, but in this way, there will only be forty-nine places left for you to compete for!" ”

Everyone nodded slightly, and didn't feel anything wrong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the strongest in Shangyang, and he deserves it, so he can naturally take a place in advance!

Murong Xiu looked at the people present and smiled: "Okay, since that's the case, I won't talk nonsense, I announce, Shangyang martial arts competition, officially start!" As soon as the words fell, six eunuchs with a bamboo stick box walked out, and these eunuchs went to the leading figures of the five major sects and the representatives of the royal family Tianjiao to let them draw lots.

A host said on the martial arts platform: "In this competition, a lot is drawn to fight, there are three colors of bamboo sticks, and the forces that draw the same color bamboo sticks will be opponents of each other; The winner of each game will be promoted to the next round of competition, but because the number of participants in each sect is different, if all the personnel of one side have participated in the battle, but the other side still has personnel who have not participated in the battle, then these people who have not participated in the battle can challenge the people who have been promoted, whether it is the opponent's sect or the people of their own sect! ”

Everyone nodded slightly, so that everyone could compete and fight, and each could be promoted according to their strength!

"Okay, now please return the bamboo sticks you drawn."

The representatives of the draw handed the bamboo sticks to the eunuchs, and then the six eunuchs returned, placing two bamboo sticks of the same color together and giving them to the three hosts.

"Battle Platform No. 1, Xiangya Sword Sect vs. Wanyue Sect!"

"Battle Platform No. 2, Yehua Sect vs. members of the royal family!"

"Battle Platform No. 3, Floating Cloud Sword Sect vs. Shangyun Sect!"

The voices of the three hosts sounded one after another, and everyone's eyes stared, and they all looked at their opponents.

"Please pick the members of the first battle."

The members of the five major sects and the royal family all began to discuss, and then one by one the members were selected to go to their respective battle platforms to fight.

"On the No. 1 battle platform, the King of the Xiangya Sword Sect will fight against Luo Xiao of the Wanyue Sect!"

"On the second battle platform, Yehuazong Han Zhen is fighting against Fan Xun, a member of the royal family!"

"On the third battle platform, Li Hao of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect is fighting against Bai Qiansheng of the Shangyun Sect!"

The six combatants stepped onto the stage, ready to go, waiting for the host's order.

"Battle, let's go!" The three supporters shouted at the same time, and all six of them burst into breath, fighting with their respective opponents.

In this first battle, everyone was very tacitly sent people from the Lingquan Realm to fight.

One breath erupted, one figure collided together, the sound of weapons rubbing, the sound of breath fighting, roaring, waves of qi swept around, six people were all showing their means, and their opponents had a fierce fight, everyone was trying their best, without the slightest contempt for the opponent!

Xiang Yunsheng and the others looked at the No. 1 battle platform, on the No. 1 battle platform, Luo Xiao's life soul was a heaven-level life soul, called the mountain shield, which was a heavy shield, he relied on the shield to easily resist Wang Cheng's spear attack, and suppressed Wang Cheng, and then condensed the power of the powerful mountain artistic conception, turning into a mountain phantom and suppressing Wang Cheng!

Wang Cheng's gun intent surged out, silver light flashed, and the terrifying gun shadow continued to pierce the mountains, but Luo Xiao's defense power was really terrifying, and it completely offset Wang Cheng's gun intent, watching the mountain phantoms smash down, Wang Cheng struggled to support, gritted his teeth and looked at Luo Xiao, but in less than a while, Wang Cheng was directly knocked away by Luo Xiao's shield blow and fell off the battle platform!

"Battle platform No. 1, the battle is over, the king of the Xiangya Sword Sect is successful, defeated!"

The people of the Xiangya Sword Sect gritted their teeth and did not blame, because Luo Xiao was indeed stronger than Wang Cheng.

The host looked at Luo Xiao and said, "You can choose to continue fighting." Luo Xiao's eyes flashed and said, "Keep fighting!" The host nodded and said, "Luo Xiao chooses to continue fighting, please send someone from the Xiangya Sword Sect!" ”

Everyone's eyes flashed, and a figure walked out, also holding a spear, but the aura was even stronger than Wang Cheng, this person was the Qi army that defeated Yang Yong in the sect competition last time!

Qi Jun patted Wang Cheng's shoulder and said, "You're not injured, are you?" Wang Cheng shook his head and said, "No." Qi Jun smiled and said, "Look at me to avenge you!" Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Come on!" The two looked at each other and smiled, and the Qi army jumped towards the battle platform and landed opposite Luo Xiao.

The host looked at Qi Jun and said, "Fight, start!" Then he jumped off the stage.

The aura on Luo Xiao's body exploded, and he took the lead in rushing towards the Qi army, like a mountain rushing in!

Qi Jun snorted coldly, the gun intent on his body exploded, the dazzling silver light flashed on his spear, the terrifying gun intent vibrate, his figure burst out, and a shot stabbed towards Luo Xiao!

"Broken!"
