Chapter 8 The competition that determines the future of the Liu family
Xiao Che didn't hurt them, but only made them lose the ability to resist. After all, these people are just juniors of the Liu family, and they can't be as knowledgeable as them.
Everyone in the Liu family has seen Xiao Che's power, and they no longer have the slightest doubt about Xiao Che.
The dinner party ended quickly, and everyone in the Liu family was preparing for the competition three days later.
Xiao Che's story also spread throughout the Liu family.
The Liu family, the Great Elder. Liujiang residence.
"I heard that the head of the family found a kid named Xiao Yun out of nowhere, and he won one out of five?" It didn't take long for what happened at the dinner party to reach the ears of the Great Elder Liu Jiang.
"If it weren't for the hindrance of my own family, how could I accept this kind of competition. The five elders on the side said indignantly. They are also very aggrieved here, in fact, if they don't fight to the death, it has nothing to do with whether they are from their own family or not, and the most important thing is that they are afraid of Liu Yuan, the head of the family. After all, Liu Yuan's strength is the strongest in the Liu family.
"It's a good way for me to fight. Although the second brother is Liu Yuan's own uncle, he has always ignored the family's affairs, so we will win the battle of the elders, and I have also invited two masters of the City Lord's Mansion. The chief of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion was promoted. and Li Xiongfei, the first person of the young generation in Black Rock City. The Great Elder said confidently.
"Although Liu Long is good, after all, he was injured before, and in just two months, even if his body has almost recovered, his combat power may not return to its peak. And Li Xiongfei is invincible to the younger generation in Blackstone City. Come to think of it, even if Xiao Yun is a genius outside, he still can't catch up with Li Xiongfei. The elders on the side were also full of confidence in their own side.
Xiao Che didn't stop cultivating in the Liu family, Xiao Che didn't stay in the Liu family all the time in the past three days, and went in and out of the Obsidian Restaurant almost every day. Prepare for the City Lord's Mansion in the future. The affairs of the Liu family are just small disputes for him. The bigger dispute is the city lord's mansion.
Although Xiao Che has confidence in himself, he will not rush directly into the City Lord's Mansion by himself.
Three days passed in a flash. On this day, it was a major event for the Liu family, not only the Liu family, but also the City Lord's Mansion and the five major families, as well as almost all the forces in Blackstone City, were invited into the Liu family to witness the battle between the Liu family's head faction and the Great Elder's faction.
It is also clear that the Liu family is like this, after all, there are people from the entire Black Rock City to testify. The result is bound to be something that no one can rely on.
In the largest 100,000-person arena in Black Rock City, the crowd was dense as far as the eye could see. Xiao Che looked at this posture, and there were more than 100,000 people present.
The city lord Shi Tongtian was sitting on the main seat, and on his left and right were the patriarchs of the five major families, and there were only more than thirty people who were qualified to sit here besides them. Among them, Xiao Che saw the female housekeeper of the Obsidian Restaurant, the girl surnamed Lu. Liu Qing on the side was busy introducing Xiao Che to the forces on the seat, including the Li family where Li Xiongfei was located.
It can be seen that Blackstone City is not as simple as it seems on the surface. City Lord's Mansion, although the five major families are powerful, these forces that are qualified to sit in it are not necessarily weaker than the five major families. It's just that the five major families are all deep-rooted local forces, so they are different.
This competition was personally presided over by the city lord Shi Tongtian.
If the Great Elder's faction wins today, then the Liu family will be completely attached to the City Lord's Mansion. Like Yu, Li, and Zhang, they are the leaders of the city lord's mansion. This is tantamount to increasing Shi Tongtian's own strength, and Shi Tongtian naturally attaches great importance to it.
Seeing that no one had any objections, the competition soon officially began.
In the first scene, the three elders of the Liu family faced the four elders of the Liu family.
On weekdays, the two look at each other unpleasantly. At the moment, there is no second word, and the fight will start directly.
The strength of the two of them is the same Ying Heaven Realm. Naturally, it is dark and dark. The Liujia Gongfa Spiritual Decision is the Liushen Formula, which is a kind of plant-based spiritual decision. It's powerful.
Generally speaking, the exercises of human cultivation are divided into plant system, demon beast system, five elements system, space system, time system, etc.
Most of the exercises are plant-based, demon-beast-based, and five-elemental. This is because from the very beginning of human beings' cultivation of martial arts, they have comprehended and evolved from all things in nature.
Human beings were weak at the beginning, and the average life expectancy of the earliest humans was unusually short, according to historical records, the average life expectancy was only 15 years. At that time, mankind was still in the nascent stage of spiritual intelligence. In order to survive and reproduce, fight with the sky, fight with the earth, and fight with monsters. Exceptionally brutal. Fortunately, human beings have a strong ability to reproduce. and good at learning, this is the rise step by step.
When Xiao Che followed Grandpa Xiao when he was a child, Grandpa Xiao asked him what martial arts were. Many people practice martial arts for the sake of eternal life, and some people practice martial arts for worldly power. There are also people who want to keep themselves and their families from being bullied......
Grandpa Xiao told him that the essence of martial arts is to survive. Xiao Che has always remembered it.
In fact, if you think about it, all life in the world is in pursuit of greater power. If nothing else, the most fundamental reason is to survive, simple and true.
In this wonderful world, everything has a spirit, and all things can accept the aura of heaven and earth and practice. There is a vast and boundless race. Even if human beings have developed to this day, they are not the strongest and largest race in the world. But it will never be underestimated by all races.
It is all because among the human beings, there are strong people who go against the sky, and they are the ones who guard the human race.
At this moment, Xiao Che actually missed his grandfather a little.
In the arena, the three elders and the four elders fought more and more fiercely, and the exercises and combat skills practiced by the two were almost the same. Although the Third Elder entered the Heavenly Realm before the Fourth Elder, he was not much higher than the Fourth Elder, and the two were almost comparable.
It seems that no one can help anyone unless they fight to the death. When both of them fought with their special moves, they were both seriously injured. However, in the end, it was the four elders who won by luck with half a move.
At this time, Liu Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief. On the other hand, Liu Jiang's face was extremely ugly.
In the second game, Liu Long vs. Gao Sheng.
"Look, how can it be Gao Sheng, it seems that the City Lord's Mansion is really bound to win the Liu family. Seeing the head of the city lord's mansion guard ascending to the field, many people in the audience were talking about it. Obviously, not many people knew about it beforehand.
"Liu Family Liulong, please advise. ”
"City Lord's Mansion, ascend. ”
In the past, the two did not have any intersection, let alone a grudge. Gao Sheng is the successor after the former captain of the guard, Mu Long. Mu Long died at the hands of Xiao Che. Shi Tongtian was also angry for a while. Mu Long is the brother who has accompanied him since he was a child. In the City Lord's Mansion, he cultivated second only to himself. His son and brother who grew up together died at the hands of Xiao Che. Shi Tongtian hated Xiao Che to the core.
However, after hearing that Xiao Che fell into the Burial Abyss, he was helpless. Although he really wanted to talk about Xiao Che's corpse, find the bones and scatter ashes.
But what kind of place is the burial of the gods, it is a human Jedi. Killed Shi Tongtian didn't dare to go over. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he could only admit it.
It wasn't that he didn't want to take revenge on Xiao Che's family, but he tried his best to find out the slightest news about Xiao Che.
A healer who practices medicine everywhere, an orphan, where there is a family, where there is a home.
Gao Sheng was originally a gang leader outside Blackstone City, but their gang was wiped out more than a year ago, and Gao Sheng escaped alone, arrived in Blackstone City, and defected to Shi Tongtian. Shi Tongtian saw that his cultivation was good, so he stayed by his side, and three months ago, he had just appointed him as the chief of the guard of the City Lord's Mansion.
Liu Long and Gao Sheng don't have any grudges. Although Gao was promoted to the Great Elder and sent out to fight, it was also because Shi Tongtian secretly instructed him. Liu Long hated Shi Tongtian and the Great Elder even more.
Gao Sheng is not a sinister villain, he is very clear about the situation of the Liu family. Since he defected to Shi Tongtian and was reused by Shi Tongtian, he naturally obeyed Shi Tongtian's orders.
After a polite look at the rivers and lakes, the two immediately went to war.
Their cultivation is all at the peak of the soul realm, and half of their feet have stepped into the Ying Tian realm. Although the momentum of the fight is not as strong as the three elders and the four elders of the Liu family before, the excitement is not inferior by half a point.
There is not much difference in the spiritual power cultivation of the two, but there is a huge difference in combat skills and moves. To be precise, Gao Sheng's move is not as subtle as Liu Long, but it is better than opening and closing. I saw Gao Sheng holding a big knife. Chop, chop, flip, turn. Domineering to the extreme.
On the other side, Liu Long used the Liu family's combat skills, and the whole person swayed like a willow tree, unloading the power of the ascension into invisibility. While using the subtle moves inherited by the Liu family to give Gao Sheng a counterattack from time to time.
Xiao Che saw it in his eyes, and sure enough, there was still a good family inheritance. Practicing the willow magic technique, combined with these subtle moves, can be said to be perfect. This is the essence of a family.
And Gao Sheng obviously does not have such a background. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to go into the underworld and take refuge in Shi Tongtian.
However, Gao Sheng's advantage is also obvious over Liu Long. When he shoots, he is decisive and aggressive, which must be experienced only after hundreds of actual battles and fights. In comparison, Liu Long is slightly lacking in this regard.
It didn't take long for the two of them to be covered in bruises. Blood continued to seep out of the two of them, and the faint of heart were afraid that they would cry with fright when they saw it. Fortunately, in the entire arena, all the people who can come to watch are martial artists, and there is no fear of panic in this kind of arena for martial artists. Some are just excited, excited and enthusiastic.
In the audience, many viewers were infected by this excitement, and many people shouted and cheered.
See this as it is. Xiao Che thought that he and Grandpa Xiao had once saved a young man who had been defeated in the Colosseum. There, it's not just human warriors who compete, or monsters themselves. There is also an even more brutal competition between humans and monsters. That young man was sold to the Colosseum to compete with monsters.
In that kind of Colosseum, humans and monsters compete, generally divided into two kinds, one is that humans take the initiative to challenge monsters for experience. There are rewards for winning. You won't lose your life if you lose. The most you can do is lose some spirit coins. Generally, it is the young masters and young ladies of some rich and powerful families who will participate in this kind of competition.
There is also a kind of people who, like the young man, were trafficked to the Colosseum to fight. There is also a word for this kind of competition, gambling fighting. Generally, this kind of competition is a bet by a person who has a game.
In this kind of gambling fight, even if the people involved in it win, there is no benefit, they are still slaves, and if they lose, they will only die.
The young man also had a good fate, he failed in the fight, his life hung by a thread, and he was thrown out, but fortunately he met Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Che, and he picked up a life.
Looking at Liu Long and Gao Sheng's bloodied appearance, Xiao Che suddenly had a thought at this moment, human beings are so cruel to their own kind.
Soon Liu Long couldn't hold it at first, obviously because the previous injury did not allow him to fully recover in these two months, and he couldn't see anything in normal times, but once he encountered this kind of evenly matched battle, the hidden dangers in his body broke out.
In this game, Gao Sheng won.
Watching Liu Long fight with himself, Gao Sheng also gave up his hand to Liu Long to show respect. If this Liu Long hadn't been injured before, he might not have been able to win this one.
No one cares how you win, just win.
Seeing Liu Long's defeat, Liu Yuan also secretly said that it was a pity, but he still comforted Liu Long with kind words, and immediately ordered someone to carry him down for treatment. On the other hand, the Great Elder, that kind of joy jumped on his face.
The last game was won. Shi Tongtian and everyone on the Great Elder's side thought so. The head of the Liu family is over. After all, Li Xiongfei is the strongest of the younger generation in Black Rock City, and Liu Qing, the strongest of the younger generation of the Liu family, cannot be Li Xiongfei's opponent.
Finally, it was time for Xiao Che to play, and the previous two games were one win and one loss, so the third game became a key game. Whoever wins will decide the fate of the other faction of the Liu family, and also determine the future direction of the Liu family.
Li Xiongfei walked to the battle platform with a spear on his back. Xiao Che also walked in step by step.
Sure enough, many people saw Xiao Che and showed doubts. In their original news and impressions, it should be Liu Qing, the strongest member of the younger generation of the Liu family, who will fight. How did it change to this young man who had never seen it before. However, not everyone doesn't recognize Xiao Che. The lady Lu, the steward of the Obsidian Restaurant, recognized him.
"It turned out to be him. "In the past few days, Xiao Che has been running to the Obsidian Restaurant every day, and when he abolished the bald man of the Liu family's great elder faction that day, Xiao Che sat next to him. At that time, everyone else avoided one after another, only Xiao Che sat there without the slightest nervousness. So Miss Lu also recognized Xiao Che.
"Li Xiongfei. Li Xiongfei was not surprised, Xiao Che's previous incident at the Liu family banquet had reached his ears. However, he did not show much about it. Facing Xiao Che, there was no fluctuation.
"Xiao Yun. Xiao Che also reported his name.
For Li Xiongfei, Xiao Che also learned a lot from Liu Qing in the past two days. This Li Xiongfei has shown extraordinary talent since he was a child, practicing martial arts at the age of three, and advancing to the spiritual realm at the age of ten. Now at the age of twenty, he is already a powerhouse in the soul realm.
This Li Xiongfei is really talented, if it weren't for the fact that he had such an anti-heaven adventure as the God Devouring Technique and Xiao Yuandu, at such an age, I am afraid that he would not be as good as this Li Xiongfei.
But now, hehe, this Li Xiongfei is also unlucky when he meets himself.
At the beginning of the competition, Xiao Che directly used it without a trace. At such close distances, absolute speed is absolute power. Moreover, Xiao Che's cultivation was already higher than Li Xiongfei. In an instant, before everyone could react, Xiao Che's fist hit Li Xiongfei's body. Li Xiongfei fell to his knees. This scene stunned everyone present. Li Xiongfei's eyes were also shocked and unbelievable. Then he fell to the ground like ashes, motionless.
He was the first person of the younger generation in Black Rock City, and he was defeated like this, one move. Defeated by Xiao Che, who looked younger than him. It was a terrible blow to him.
If he can't get over his heart knot, it is likely that this life will be over.
At this time, almost everyone sitting in the seat stood up in an instant. Whether it was Shi Tongtian, Liu Jiang or Li Xiongfei's father, they all stared at Xiao Che deadly, their eyes became colder and colder, and Xiao Che sensed an extremely strong killing intent.
"Xiao Yun!" Li Xiongfei's father gritted his teeth and roared at Xiao Yun.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yuan also stood up, although he knew that Xiao Che would definitely be able to defeat Li Xiongfei, but he couldn't imagine that Xiao Che only used one trick against Li Xiongfei.
After a short silence, with the roar of Li Xiongfei's father, the entire arena also boiled instantly.
I heard the boiling shouts of more than 100,000 warriors. Shi Tongtian, Liu Jiang and Li Xiongfei's father's anger and murderous intent in their hearts were also pressed a lot.
At this moment, Liu Yuan was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it too much, after all, Li Xiongfei was defeated by Xiao Che with one move, and his father, Li Qingshan, the head of the Li family, was angry at this time, although it was impossible for him to do anything to the Liu family because of the fight, but Liu Yuan didn't want to anger him at this juncture.
At this moment, Shi Tongtian was furious in his heart, looking at Xiao Che, exuding a killing intent that could not be concealed. However, listening to the cheers and shouts of the hundreds of thousands of Black Rock City martial artists present, he could only accept today's result.
At this moment, Shi Tongtian suppressed the anger in his heart, and announced with a calm face that the Liu family was fighting, and the head of the family, Liu Yuan, won the battle.
And the Great Elder Liu Jiang and the others on the side, their faces were dark, but they didn't say anything. Accept the result tacitly.
The people of Liu Yuan's faction naturally cheered. Liu Qing was also full of joy. The Liu family finally ushered in the best result.
"Xiao Che, I really didn't misunderstand you. Liu Qing walked up to Xiao Che and said excitedly.
The dispute of the Liu family is finally in the hands of Xiao Che and is over. After this battle, the Liu family will usher in a better future.
