Chapter Twenty-Three: Another Contest?
"Dark Forces?!" The others all started to get nervous, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became unusually quiet.
"Don't they give up? Chased here? Li Yuanfang frowned. No, it won't, if they do, the heroes here will be doomed. Li Yuanfang began to talk to herself.
"The top priority is to find Li Bai and find out what happened, so as to find out the truth of this case, I think Marco was stunned and has nothing to do with the dark forces."
"Well, maybe when Marco wakes up, we can ask him something." Pang Tong analyzed in the back. "Oh, it's worthy of Mr. Feng Xiao, why didn't I think of this kind of thing, forget it, I'll take you around Chang'an City first during this time, this place is the most familiar to me!" Li Yuanfang beckoned everyone out of the tavern.
"Alas...... There's a reason why your salary was deducted......" Sun Shangxiang shook his head, "I always feel that something is wrong......
In this way, Wang Chengkai, Li Yuanfang, Sun Shangxiang, Baili Xuance and Pang Tong walked on the bustling streets of Chang'an City. Along the way, Li Yuanfang talked about this side and pointed to that side, just like a tour guide in Chang'an City.
"Look, this is a weapons shop, my darts are bought here, if you need a weapon, come here, this weapon is very good, mention my name can get a discount...... Look over there! It was a Chengyun station, and many goods were shipped here every day to foreign countries in Fanbang...... Ay! Look! That's Dali Temple! That's where Master Di and I work......"
Wang Chengkai shook his head, "Alas...... This is the royal capital agent? ”
Baili Xuance whispered close to Li Yuanfang: "Be careful, Lord Di Renjie hears it, and deduct your salary~" "Huh...... This...... You haven't eaten yet, let's go, I'll take you to the best noodle restaurant in Chang'an City. Li Yuanfang took the opportunity to change the topic.
A few people came to the noodle restaurant and sat down at a table. Looking at the prosperity of Chang'an City, Wang Chengkai couldn't help but sigh: "Alas...... This is like Chang'an City that has been eroded by dark forces. Sun Shangxiang touched Wang Chengkai with his elbow and approached his ear: "I don't think something is right." "What's wrong?" "If the Demon Soul Clan uses the dark power to stun Marco, they will definitely pass through the street, which will definitely cause panic, and you see that there is an endless stream of merchants and tourists on this street, and there is no trace of the dark power coming." "Well, there's something strange about this, I just hope Marco wakes up soon, if the dark forces take the opportunity to kill Marco, this matter will be tricky."
"Oops! What are you muttering? Li Yuanfang saw Wang Chengkai and Sun Shangxiang muttering something, "I finally invited you to a meal, but you're welcome." Besides, where do you want to go to Chang'an City, just say it, I'll take you there. ”
"Yo! Isn't this Yuan Fang, what, come to us when you have time? The noodle guy greeted him. Aang, today I'm going to bring a few friends and let them taste your noodles, and it's money. After saying that, he took out a few pieces of silver from the beast-faced bag around his waist and put them on the table.
"Okay, the spy is generous, I'll get it for you, you sit first~" After speaking, the guy collected the money and returned to the back kitchen.
"Hey Yuanfang, why didn't you catch the suspicious person on the street that you Lord Di said?" Baili Xuance looked at Li Yuanfang curiously.
Li Yuanfang gave him a blank look: which pot is not opened.
"Alas...... That person is too powerful, can control mana, my mana was devoured, I can only slow down by throwing darts, and when I was about to catch up with him, there seemed to be a person behind me who knocked me unconscious with a punch, and when I woke up, I only saw Master Di and Zhong Kui looking at me there. ”
"Can you manipulate mana?" "Can you speed up yourself and slow down the other party?" Sun Shangxiang and Pang Tongren were skeptical.
"Well, the only thing that can use mana now is the dark power controlled by the Demon Soul Clan, and it seems that Chang'an City is not at peace." Wang Chengkai looked at the street and pursed his lips, "Yuan Fang, these two cases are related to dark forces, I think it is only possible to solve the mystery of these two cases now when Marco wakes up." "Well, I'll definitely look into it!"
"Yo, Yuan Fang is encouraging herself again?" The guy came over with five bowls of noodles. "Oops! Eat noodles! Come on, come on, you're welcome! ”
"Hey Yuanfang," the noodle shop guy patted Li Yuanfang on the shoulder, "You won't participate in the martial arts competition for a while?" Show off your skills! ”
Wang Chengkai was taken aback: "It's another martial arts competition?" ”
Li Yuanfang spit out a mouthful of noodles, and it happened to spit into Sun Shangxiang's bowl.
"Lee! Yuan! Fragrant! Sun Shangxiang patted the table and stood up, glaring at Li Yuanfang, "Hey, ladies, ladies." Wang Chengkai grabbed Sun Shangxiang's arm. Forehead...... I'm sorry, Miss. After Li Yuanfang finished speaking, he changed his face.
"Hmph, if we hadn't fought in the King's Canyon, I would have bombarded you on the wall a long time ago!"
"Eh, this ......" Li Yuanfang immediately turned his head to look at the guy, "Didn't I say it, I brought my friends here to hang out, if I go to the martial arts competition, then won't my friends be accompanied by anyone?" ”
"Hey, it's okay, let's see your strength." Pang Tong looked at Li Yuanfang as if he was watching a lively scene.
"This ...... I...... Oh, I really don't want to compare, why don't I take you to see it? It is said that many of our heroes participated this time! "Alright then, let's go check it out, maybe we can meet other heroes, and it will help us save the game world." "Alright, I think you want to participate!" Pang Tongyi saw Baili Xuance's thoughts, and Baili Xuance's face began to redden.
"Alas...... Hopefully this time there won't be dark forces messing around. Wang Chengkai clenched the bow in his hand and followed Li Yuanfang out.
Several people came to the scene of the martial arts competition, which was already full of people, and some people were standing behind to watch, and the stage was playing without winning or losing. Wang Chengkai and they came relatively early, and they haven't started the professional group competition yet, and they are only amateur on stage.
"The stage is playing in the amateur group now, their level is not up to our level, and the professional group will be on the field later, and then it will be all our heroes, they will play in pairs, and the intensity is no less than a game in the glory of kings." "It's just a dry fight, no skills?" "yes, I have a weapon." Wang Chengkai and Li Yuanfang chatted without a word.
"Alas! Why are you going! Pang Tong grabbed Baili Xuance, "I'm going to a martial arts competition, I didn't have fun in the cultivation place last time, this time I'm going to show my skills!" "Don't make trouble, we all have mana, and if you fight with those heroes who don't have mana, isn't it just a hanging?" "This ...... I ......"
At this time, the host on the stage spoke.
"Everyone, the competition of the professional group of the Chang'an City Martial Arts Competition is about to start! The final winner of the professional group will receive a sword of ten thousand thousands, this sword is extremely sharp, you will feel its infinite power in your hand, and it is a good weapon that the warriors want the most, so who will become the champion of the professional group today and get this sword? The first to appear was Huang Zhong from Shudi, and his opponent was Cheng Yanjin from Chang'an City! ”
As soon as the words fell, the audience cheered and cheered.
"Haha, Huang Zhong's crispy skin will definitely not be able to bite this big guy in the process!" "That's not necessarily, don't forget, Cheng Yanjin has no blood back now." "Eh, this ......" Wang Chengkai choked Li Yuanfang with a sentence.
On the stage, Huang Zhong raised the cannon. Now his cannon no longer has the effect of increasing critical hits, and can only shoot like a giant pistol; And Cheng Biting Jin Zheng said as Wang Chengkai said, there is no blood recovery, but his double-plate axe damage is still very high, so it is difficult to guess the outcome of this game.
"Come on," Cheng Yanjin said to Huang Zhong, "I have protected you many times in the King's Canyon, and now we are fighting, you are crispy, you come first." ”
"Oh? Then you're welcome! Saying that, Huang Zhong shot a bullet from the cannon and went directly towards Cheng Biting Jin's head, Cheng Biting Jin said that it was too late and that was fast, and immediately tilted his head, and the bullet flew past his ears, and then Huang Zhong fired two more shots in a row, all of which were blocked by Cheng Biting Jin's axe.
"Well, I didn't expect you to leave the King's Canyon for two more moments, it's my turn!" Cheng Yanjin quickly ran towards Huang Zhong, and when he was still two steps away from Huang Zhong, he took off into the air, raised the double-plate axe to slash down, Huang Zhong immediately raised the cannon on his arm, only to hear "Ding!" The axe and the cannon sparked, accompanied by a "hissing" grinding sound.
"I'll go, Huang Zhong's cannon is quite hard!" Pang Tong sighed. "Alas~ his cannon can not only attack, but also resist fatal damage for him, or you see that he has a cannon on his arm, so it is easy to defend." Li Yuanfang explained to Pang Tong.
"Hey, have you ever felt the dark forces?" "How can there be, Huang Zhong, come on!" Sun Shangxiang jumped and shouted at Huang Zhong, not caring about any dark power at all.
Huang Zhong used a bullet to push Cheng Yanjin aside, looking at the audience, looking for the source of the sound. "Sun Shangxiang? Miss? Huang Zhong was both excited and surprised, "Why is she here?" ”
Cheng Yanjin saw that Huang Zhong was distracted and was about to defeat him with one move, so he raised his double axe and slashed towards Huang Zhong.
"Huang Zhong! Be careful! Sun Shangxiang ignored the rules of the game and shouted loudly to the stage, Huang Zhong listened, turned his head suddenly, and found that the axe was so close to him that it was only one finger, Huang Zhong saw this and quickly dodged away, but he did not dodge another axe, and instantly slashed Huang Zhong's left arm, and blood flowed immediately.
"Oops! You don't know how to hide, I'll stop the bleeding for you! Cheng Yanjin saw that he had slashed Huang Zhong by mistake, so he quickly took out a white cloth from his waist and bandaged Huang Zhong.
"You're still so good, it looks like I'm getting old, referee! I throw in the towel! "You ......" Cheng Yanjin was confused for a while, "I don't have a good win!" "It's okay, you can still win the next game." "I'm ......" Before Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, the referee invited the bandaged Huang Zhong down.
"First game! Cheng bites Jin Sheng! ”
"Oh, how can you not beat it? Alas......" Sun Shangxiang hung her head, and in stark contrast to her, it was Li Yuanfang who was cheering on the side.
"Yay! Win! I'll just say how can a crispy crust beat a big guy, haha, hey...... Oops! Li Yuanfang suddenly felt that someone was pulling his ear, and then a familiar voice appeared behind him.
"Did Li Bai catch it, you just show me the game here!"
Li Yuanfang turned around, "Huh...... Master Di, I was wrong......"
"Don't talk to me here, you, Wang Chengkai and Sun Shangxiang will go back to Dali Temple with me."
"Oh, yes, yes! Don't forget to tell us who won Ang! Oops! Master Di, you ...... lightly" Li Yuanfang was pulled by Di Renjie's ears and left, and when he left, he didn't forget to leave a sentence to Pang Tong and Baili Xuance.
Wang Chengkai and the others left the martial arts competition and walked towards the official mansion.
"Oh, Master Di, let go, I know it's wrong......" "Hmph, next time I see you don't do your job, and even the bonus will be deducted!" "Oh...... I just want to take them around Chang'an City. Li Yuanfang touched his sore ear.
"Hey, by the way, Di Renjie, you said to take us to the official mansion, is there anything wrong?" Wang Chengkai said.
Di Renjie looked into the distance and thought slightly:
"Marco woke up......"
