Volume 1 The Covenant of Life and Death Section 17 Emergence

When the sun was shining, ten martial arts competition platforms were lined up in the vast martial arts arena.

The martial arts arena was crowded, and it was even more lively than before the assessment. This was because some of the official disciples who did not participate in the assessment, and even the personal disciples, were present to watch. People in the rivers and lakes, the hard work under their hands is hard power.

Heroes have always been born out of blood.

Li Anran was drawing lots with ten official disciples to assign them to the competition ring they were guarding. The ten people were also very nervous, and every time someone failed to defend it, it became a stepping stone for the promotion of the registered disciples. And those who fail to defend the battle, most of them have no shame to stay in the sect anymore, and their martial arts careers are likely to be cut off because of this.

Li Tanshi Shiran approached and beckoned ten people to pass.

Li Tan said lightly: "There is a named Xiao Xiao among the registered disciples, who often sings and slanders me, if any of you can defeat him, I will ensure that you will be safe and smooth in the future, and your wishes will come true." ”

The ten people looked at each other, and they all understood Li Tan's intentions. If it was a simple victory, it would have been their task, so why bother Li Tan to come and explain? All ten of them rushed to show their loyalty, saying that they would go all out and live up to their mission.

Li Anran and other disciples pretended not to hear it, and when they saw that Li Tan had finished explaining, they urged the disciples to come to the stage.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became serious, and the formal disciples who had been talking loudly and commenting wantonly also began to exchange heads and whispers.

Li Shizhen was still dressed in a white-washed cloth robe, and he walked lightly, accompanied by his two personal disciples, a man and a woman, to the stage of the martial arts.

Li Tan, Li Anran and others hurriedly greeted and saluted.

Li raised his hand very much and said, "Don't pay attention to me, you guys can start." ”

Hou Xiaobao stabbed Xiao Xiao and said, "Standing next to Li Shi is the first person among the nine generations of disciples of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect, Li Shi's personal disciple Lu Antai. It is said that under the elders, there is no opponent. ”

Xiao Xiao looked at the situation, Lu Antai looked mediocre, standing on Li Shi's side plainly, looking at his nose and nose, looking at his heart, lowering his eyebrows, not arrogant or impatient, and not talking to anyone to answer. And although the female disciple next to him was beautiful, she was as cold as frost, her nose looked at the sky, and she looked like no one was close.

"That's Elder Li's niece, Li Tan's sister, Li Rongrong. It's just that on formal occasions, they are all masters and apprentices. Zhu Youbao said.

Li Tan is Li Shi's nephew? Xiao Xiao was surprised. Could it be that the beautiful woman that night was Li Shi's concubine? Xiao Xiao felt sanctimonious, and the temperamental old man Li seemed to have a green prairie above his head at this moment.

Li Tan obviously doesn't like to provoke his sister and uncle, and stands far away.

With Li very presence, the atmosphere on the field was even more tense. You must know that Li is very famous for being selfless and selfless, and he is virtuous regardless of his relatives. All the registered disciples rubbed shoulders and were eager to try, all thinking about showing themselves well, and being able to get Li Shi's favor and become a disciple of the Sword Sect, soaring into the sky.

The third round of assessment has officially begun.

Hou Xiaobao and others took the stage to compete in turn, but they were all defeated one by one. Fortunately, in order to preserve their physical strength, the guards did not suffer any serious injuries. Among the few people, Xiao Xiao was surprised by Lai Daxiong, who had practiced his internal strength to the peak of the first level, but the opponent he met had considerable internal strength, rich experience in actual combat, and treacherous swordsmanship.

The off-site scoring disciples quickly recorded that based on the results of the first two games, Lai Daxiong's chances of being promoted to a formal disciple are still very large.

"Come on, Brother Ironhead." After everyone finished the competition, they all cheered for Li Tietou, who was about to play. Li Tietou was born with divine power, thick and thin, and before the assessment, he could step into the second-layer exercises.

Li Tietou's lips trembled a little, and his hands and feet trembled slightly when he climbed onto the competition platform, he was not afraid, but the country man had never shown himself in front of so many people, and he was a little nervous.

Zhou Fanlin looked at this honest-looking, five-year-old man with contempt for contempt, thinking that he would quickly defeat him and fight a few more, maybe he could meet Xiao Xiao, a thorn in Li Tan's eyes.

The two sides saluted, and Zhou Fanlin snorted coldly: "Competition, it's not just a little brute strength, go back to plowing the fields!" ”

The sword was like thunder, attacking Li Tietou.

Li Tietou was a little annoyed, he hated plowing the fields the most, even if he went back to sell baked cakes. Seeing the cold light in his eyes, he hurriedly swung his sword to block it.

The sound of "ding" and the sword clash, and the sparks burst out. Zhou Fanlin was so shocked that his mouth was numb, and his long sword almost came out of his hand, and he secretly said that this countryman is so energetic.

Li Tietou saw that the other party was a little sluggish, and the spirit platform in his mind was clear, so he decisively returned the sword and slashed it. He used his sword as a sword, opened and closed widely, and rushed to the other party. The mouth fought back decisively: "One force will drop ten times, give me a hand." ”

Lai Daxiong and the others saw Zhou Fanlin retreating step by step, and Li Tietou had the upper hand, so they couldn't help but applaud.

Zhou Fanlin's right hand was broken, and the long sword was taken off.

Li Tietou was overjoyed, seeing that the other party wanted to retreat sharply. hurriedly chased after him, wanting to rush forward and drive straight into the other party in one go.

Zhou Fanlin smiled gloomily.

"Be careful!" Xiao Xiao reminded loudly.

Li Tietou was stunned, which side did this unlucky child stand on, and how could he tell the other party to be careful?

But because of this stunned, his footsteps paused slightly, and he felt that the cold hairs in his throat stood up, and he subconsciously leaned back to avoid it.

The tip of the sword, as thin as a cicada's wing, slid through the skin of the throat, and it was only a fraction of a centimeter away, and it drank blood on the spot.

Zhou Fanlin held the sword in his left hand, pulled the sword flower twice with his backhand, flicked off the blood beads at the tip of the sword, and said with a gloomy smile: "My left hand sword will not return without blood, and it will not matter if it continues." ”

The surrounding disciples leaned towards this side one after another, and there were not many people who saw blood in the same door, not to mention that it was still a life-and-death fight, and the irritable taste caused by the smell of blood made everyone full of expectations. The referee frowned in the middle of the field, and it was difficult to say anything.

Lee was very moody. Friendship is never for the weak.

Li Tietou's eyes showed a look of determination, he took a deep breath to calm down, and took a wrong step with his shoulders heavy, ready to face life and death.

The sword flashed, and blood splattered.

The sound of shouting and cheering was endless, and even Lai Daxiong, who was Mune, had a hoarse throat.

Maybe their swordsmanship is not very good, their body skills are not so subtle, and their martial arts are not fancy, but their courage to face life and death and dare to fight is not inferior to that of any hero.

Of course, blood can't fill the gap in strength.

In this battle, Li Tietou lost two fingers on his left hand, half an ear, thirteen swords, and blood splattered all over the competition platform.

He hasn't fallen yet.

The excitement of the battle made him forget about the pain for a while, forget the exhaustion. But the excessive bleeding had already made him dizzy and shaky.

Zhou Fanlin also had several minor injuries, his hair was shaved off, his clothes were ragged, and he looked slightly embarrassed. He knew that Li Tietou was at the end of his crossbow and was ready to put away his sword to end the battle. The tenacity and tenacity of this country man have made him feel pity.

"Kill him!" Li Tan's voice sounded in Zhou Fanlin's ears, and the sound was transmitted in a dense way, and others obviously didn't hear it.

Zhou Fanlin looked at Li Tan, and Xiao Xiao also followed his gaze to see Li Tan, just reading his cold gaze and his lips.

Kill him? Just because of my reminder, I will kill each other and kill them all?! Xiao Xiao shouted: "Iron head, admit defeat quickly!" Where there is life, there is hope. ”

Admit defeat? Li Tietou hesitated, and the rain offensive had struck again.

Poor and rich, just because of some of his talents, he has not been engaged in farming since he was a child, and he has concentrated on working hard, and the burden of life has fallen on his younger brothers and sisters. After many years of martial arts, he has never slackened off, and he has achieved nothing so far, how to face the ardent expectations of his parents and relatives at home?

Li Tietou thought a lot, and he just wanted to admit defeat. Zhou Fanlin's figure disappeared from front of him, and there was a sword sound from behind him, and then the tip of the sword emerged from his left chest.

The disciples who watched the battle sighed, Xiao Xiao jumped on the stage and hugged Li Tietou who fell to the ground.

Lai Daxiong and the others glared at Zhou Fanlin angrily and scolded: "Thief, murderer, are you from Xiaoxiangmen?!" ”

Zhou Fanlin sneered: "You are not worthy of being called a Xiaoxiangmen. ”

When the famous disciples of the battle were all very indignant when they heard him say this, they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and there were many boos and discussions.

Seeing that Li Tietou was about to die, Xiao Xiao blamed himself for a while and asked, "Tietou, you and my brother, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" ”

Li Tietou looked at Xiao Xiao gratefully, and struggled to say: "The parents at home are old, and there is no one to support them...... He saw Xiao Xiao nodding constantly, a simple and simple smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he closed his eyes and passed away.

Xiao Xiao slowly put down the corpse in his hand and took a deep look at Li Tan's direction. This person is narrow-minded, strong in martial arts, and hard in the background, if I don't get rid of it as soon as possible, I will definitely struggle after the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect.

But at this time, he was obviously not his opponent, Xiao Xiao looked at Zhou Fanlin.

"Disciple Xiao Xiao, please give me advice." Xiao Xiao said coldly.

"You're Xiao Xiao?!" Zhou Fanlin, who had just turned around and was about to ignore it, turned around in surprise, and the killing intent rose again.

"Xiao Xiao, don't mess around, you are only an entry-level skill, not his opponent." Lai Daxiong was a little anxious offstage.

Hou Xiaobao and others also persuaded bitterly: "Lewd development, don't give away heads." ”

The onlookers who didn't think it was a big deal next to them saw that someone was fighting back and making a challenge, and they cheered one after another.

There was even a bold female disciple who shouted, "How handsome! Come on, junior brother, win the senior sister to marry you! Everyone looked sideways.

The female disciple was five big and three thick, and a thin male disciple next to him was anxious, and pulled the female disciple and said, "Senior sister, didn't you say that I am your true love?" ”

The female disciple pushed him away and said, "True love is too short, I'm sorry." ”

The people who heard it next to him laughed, and the male disciple was ashamed and argued, "Where is it short? Whether the average is good or not, is that your love is too deep. ”

The female disciple was furious, and she had no time to watch the handsome guy fight, so she grabbed the male disciple and beat her fat.

Xiao Xiao picked up Li Tietou's long sword.

The sword light rises again.

The treacherous swordsmanship is only unguardable when there is no move, Li Tietou does not retreat, forcing Zhou Fanlin to make all his tricks, Xiao Xiao will never forget, he knows it in his chest early, and has a countermeasure.

Magu's swordsmanship is gentle and agile, and the subtle moves emerge endlessly, endlessly. For a while, the two fought to a draw.

Lai Daxiong and the others looked at each other, Xiao Xiao had only been in the field for a few days, and he already had such attainments in the practice of swordsmanship, but he was afraid that a few of his own people were not opponents.

Li Rongrong said: "This son has a good understanding of swordsmanship, and he should be the best among the registered disciples." But the internal cultivation is too mediocre, and I am afraid that the talent is limited. ”

Lu Antai was silent as always, but he looked at Li Shi, and he wanted to know if the master's evaluation was the same as his own.

Li said very lightly: "This person has been in the business for less than five days. ”

Get started with the exercises in five days, and have you succeed in swordsmanship? Li Rongrong was a little unconvinced, for a hundred years, it seems that there are no more than five people with this talent.

Apart from...... Lu Antai is a freak.

Zhou Fanlin couldn't attack for a long time, and he was a little anxious. Seeing that Xiao Xiao's sword moves changed from jerky to proficient, like silk rain, forming a sword net, weaving more and more densely.

Zhou Fanlin silently used Xuangong, originally he had been suppressing his skills, staying at the peak of the first layer, thinking of working steadily and building a solid foundation. At this time, I can't take care of a lot and force a breakthrough.

The pale blue sword protruded, cutting through Xiao Xiao's shirt.

"Be careful!" Lai Daxiong shouted, "He broke through the realm and released his sword qi!" ”

And a trick? Xiao Xiao sneered, and at the same time, the internal strength was injected into the sword body, and the sword was controlled with qi.

The night rain in Xiaoxiang is like crying and complaining.

The fishing lights are dim, the guest dreams back, and the sound is heartbreaking. The lonely boat and the five watches are thousands of miles away, is it a geometric cry from people?

Concubine Xiang rose from the sword and parted sadly.

Zhou Fanlin helplessly watched his right hand holding the sword leave his body, and then was pierced through the heart by the opponent's long sword.

Xiao Xiao let go, and Zhou Fanlin fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Everyone applauded, and Hou Xiaobao jumped up even more excitedly. Fighting beyond the ranks, defeating the strong with the weak, has always been a favorite of people.

Xiao Xiao shook his head and smiled helplessly, there was no joy of defeating his opponent at all, only a faint sadness of losing his companion. He picked up Li Tietou's corpse and turned around to step down. Everyone suddenly exclaimed, and the sound of the fierce wind sounded from the back of their heads.

Xiao Xiao didn't have time to react anymore, so he was able to avoid the key point, and was knocked away by Zhou Fanlin from behind, and fell heavily off the competition platform.

Zhou Fanlin's desperate blow was unsuccessful, and he fell to the ground and died.

Xiao Xiao struggled to get up, a pair of soft and white hands grabbed him and wanted to help, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Huang Jiumei's concerned eyes.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiao felt a pair of vicious eyes, and he looked through the crowd to see Li Tan with a gloomy face.

Xiao Xiao indifferently pushed Huang Jiumei away and turned around to disappear into the crowd.
