Chapter 491: Assessment
Now the two swordsmen in the field, although the weapons they use are both swords, they are completely different concepts, and the sword intent is directly different in nature, even similar to the sword hall, and it also has a strong historical flavor!
This swordsman is young enough, and it is obvious that the swordsmanship and exercises he has cultivated have a long enough history.
Lu Ming couldn't help frowning, it seems that the origin of this swordsman is not simple, that Wang Meng is definitely not his opponent.
In the next moment, the white-robed swordsman seemed to feel a little bored, and suddenly slashed out with a sword, instantly knocking the opponent out of the air.
Wang Meng was suddenly shocked, because he was mobilizing the cold attribute, the moment he was knocked away, he could no longer control his true qi, and for a while, his frozen face turned pale, his hair formed a layer of frost, and the blood spurting out of his mouth became viscous.
He struggled several times, trying to get to his feet, but he couldn't. The opponent has already seriously injured him with just one sword!
"What's going on?" The eyelids of the onlookers jumped, and it seemed that the battle that could not be ended in a short period of time ended in an instant?
Several swordsmen with obviously strong perception suddenly burst into shape, and shouted in surprise: "Sword Saint, defeat the Intermediate Sword King with one sword, this is the strength of the Sword Saint!"
"That's right, and he can't stand up with a sword to beat Wang Meng, who has been famous for a long time, he is definitely a sword saint!"
"But he's too young, isn't he? It looks like he's definitely not more than thirty years old, so he's a sword saint? How many years can he practice swordsmanship?"
"Horrible!
The onlookers were amazed, but surprised. In my heart, I was thinking jealously, it is best that your sword realm is very unstable, and after a few years, you will lose your true qi, or you will directly explode and die!
The white-robed swordsman looked at Wang Meng, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth and couldn't stop struggling, and then looked around at the onlookers, and suddenly smiled proudly: "Sword Hall?
The faces of almost all the swordsmen present changed, they were very angry, but they didn't dare to challenge this young and excessive sword master, it was really no different from looking for death by themselves.
Lu Ming didn't care at all about the other party's obviously provocative tone. If you really fight. Even if he is a sword master, but he has sword marks, this representative of kendo achievements, he is absolutely confident to fight him.
Moreover, the battle is never won by the stronger side. There are countless combat factors involved. Lu Ming has always been a master in controlling this aspect.
The white-robed swordsman looked at a circle of swordsmen who struggled and hesitated, but did not step forward. Suddenly shook his head boringly. Immediately, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the storm sword body Ma Rufeng, and the sword in his hand was directly pointed at him. And a sword qi shot out.
Ma Rufeng's heart suddenly jumped, and then jumped! Although he often fights and kills, and is born and dies, but it is all to harvest other people's lives, if he lets himself fight with others, he will never do it, not to mention that the other party is a sword master?
But this sword qi is so sharp and ruthless, Ma Rufeng has already flashed several thoughts in his heart, but he can't force it at all, and the only way out is to retreat.
Ma Rufeng immediately stepped back, only then did he realize that he was wrong. The more he retreated, the faster that sword qi became, just in an instant, he was already unable to retreat, and that sword qi was already close to his throat!
"Enough!"
At this time, the Sword Venerable of the Sword Hall said majestically. With a wave of his hand, a sword qi instantly dispersed the fierce sword qi and relieved Ma Rufeng.
The sea breeze blew, Ma Rufeng immediately shivered, and it was only at this time that he realized that in just a short moment, he was already sweating through his heavy clothes, and the shadow of death had been hanging over his heart for a long time.
What does it feel like to die......
Ma Rufeng sat on the damp shore, his face extremely pale.
"Hah! it's not interesting!" the white-robed swordsman shrugged his shoulders and waved his sword back into its scabbard.
Jian Zun's face was as cold as ice, and he walked over, he glanced at Ma Rufeng, who still hadn't reminisced from the death threat, and then turned to the white-robed swordsman and said, "I don't care which of the five hidden giants you are, as long as you come to my Sword Hall, you must abide by my rules." ”
"Rules?" the white-robed swordsman smiled proudly and said, "You are the Sword Venerable of the Sword Hall, right?"
Lord Jianzun still had that expression on his face, and he didn't get angry because he was looked down upon, and the cultivation he had cultivated over the years played a role at this moment.
"Yes, I am one of the Sword Venerables of the Sword Hall. This time it's like this, but if there is a next time, I don't care if you are a disciple of one of the five hidden worlds, as long as you break the rules of the Sword Hall, I will kill you with one sword!"
Jian Zun's words were straightforward, but Lu Ming didn't feel the killing intent on Jian Zun's body, and he was obviously a little jealous of the other party's body.
It's just that the five hidden giants, how come they've never heard of it? Even in the general history of the Sword Qi Continent that they crossed in the Sword Academy, there is no record of this?
Where are they, when did they begin to go into hiding, or in what era did their family originate?
Lu Ming's heart was full of questions, and now it seems that the appearance of these hidden giants may be able to find that disappearing history.
Lu Ming knew what he knew, so he suppressed this matter, and now the first task is to participate in the competition and win the championship, so as to eliminate the sword demon. As for the rest, we'll talk about that later.
"Kill me?" the white-robed swordsman sneered proudly, "If you want to kill me, think about it again." ”
With that, he turned and left. The swordsmen who were watching were all startled and hurriedly made a way out of the way. He smiled proudly, and his figure flickered and disappeared into the crowd.
The corners of Jian Zun's mouth twitched a few times imperceptibly, and then he said to the staff beside him: "The people are almost there, let's prepare a place for them to live." ”
On the shores of the sea, there is a rather large complex of buildings, just by looking at it, it is no less than a small city.
The buildings are neat and uniform, and the format is basically the same, and in the square in front of the building, nearly 10,000 people have gathered!
These people all stand according to their own teams, some under the banner of the country, and some with the logo of the sect.
As soon as Lu Ming walked in, he knew that this competition was not only for people from the Sword Hall to participate, but even for all sects, they could also send people to participate, which also made the number of participants very large, definitely more than 10,000 people.
Lu Ming's team was also arranged to a location, and then from time to time, the staff of the Sword Hall led the other teams to a specific location, and then distributed the door number of the residence.
Looking at the crowd that was as vast as a sea of smoke and constantly crowding, several swordsmen in Zhenyuan had a bitterness in their mouths, and said self-deprecatingly: "We are also a team of a country, and now it seems that it is a sect in the Adverse Wind Empire, and there are more swordsmen sent than us!"
"Yes, a country is not as good as a sect in the enemy country...... I finally understand why we are called the Sword Hall at the bottom, which is really worthy of its name. ”
"I don't know if I don't go out, I'm scared when I go out!"
"Just go through the motions and see the world!"
Looking at their team of more than 20 people, the Zhenyuan swordsmen all shook their heads and smiled bitterly, sighing, and their eyes were cold and discouraged.
Lu Ming successfully got the house number, ignored these guys, and went directly to find a room with his brothers. The first thing to do now is to let the cold sword recuperate. Although I lost the opportunity to participate this time, I will have a chance as long as I have a life.
Lu Ming's thoughts have always been so simple.
After arranging the trivial matters of accommodation and luggage, the time was already in the afternoon, but except for the staff who managed the logistics, Lu Ming didn't see any other people from the Sword Hall.
"Excuse me, when can we go to the ring to compete in the sword?" Lu Ming stopped a staff member and asked with a slight urgency in his tone.
The staff glanced at Lu Ming and felt that this young boy still knew how to be polite, so he stopped and said, "What's the matter?"
"Yes. Lu Ming replied truthfully, in fact, he was already anxious, and he only wanted to finish the game as soon as possible so that he could go back and destroy the sword demon. After all, I am waiting here, but the sword demon's actions will not wait, and if I delay for one more day, it will be equivalent to giving the sword demon one more chance to grow stronger!
What's more, there is also a Zhong Nantian who has escaped, although there is no news about his whereabouts at all now, but thinking that he has been trading with the Sword Demon for so long, maybe he has mastered some special way to enter the Sword Demon's territory.
And as long as Zhong Nantian colludes with the Sword Demon, then no matter what they brew, the consequences will be very serious, so how can Lu Ming not be in a hurry?
The staff smiled and said, "It's useless to be in a hurry, not everyone can go up to the ring." ”
"We're here to get in the ring. Ouyang Luo also walked over.
The staff sat down on a bench in the corridor and said, "Anyone who comes here wants to go to the ring, but look at how many of them are there now? Not to mention the elite disciples of the major sword halls, there are many sects, even the royal family, and it is said that there are also hidden wealthy families! Don't ask me about the hidden world's wealthy families, I don't know." With so many people gathered in one place, those who can really go to the ring are qualified only after three levels of assessment and selection. ”
"Three-tier assessment?" Lu Ming was stunned, when do you have to wait until this happens?
"Yes, so this matter is not something you can rush at all, I advise you to take advantage of the present time to rest quickly, adjust your state, and wait for the arrangements over there, you will be busy. The staff got up, patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, and then went to his own place.
For this result, Lu Ming was somewhat surprised. The swordsmen who were able to participate in the sword fighting competition this time were all the elites of the local sword hall, but the sword hall was obviously not satisfied, and they still needed to pass the assessment to cut off most of the swordsmen's qualifications, so that those who could get into the ring were completely the elite of the elite.
