A trace of the remnant sun hung on the top of the mountain, reflecting the entire Tiandu City as gorgeous as red, but on the first avenue, the Tang Mansion at this moment was very heavy wrapped in white cloth.

Deputy General Tang Wanli, who had returned from the Yamen, was surrounded by broken porcelain and antique scrolls, his eyes were as red as blood, and he grabbed an antique vase with both hands and smashed it to the ground.

The vase, which was worth thousands of taels of silver, shattered into countless pieces, just like his heart at the moment.

"Lu Ming, I'm going to break you into ten thousand pieces!"

Tang Wanli's beard was all open, and he roared viciously. His son was killed, but the murderer was obviously in front of him but he couldn't take revenge, which made Tang Wanli, who was an official of the imperial court, very angry, if it wasn't for the sword master Ji Wujian arriving in time today, that heavy punishment would directly take Lu Ming's life.

"That Ji Wujian is simply making perjury for this loser!"

However, Ji Wujian's figure appeared in his mind, and Tang Wanli also calmed down. With him, it is impossible for him to move Lu Ming, but Lu Ming must die and be buried with his son!

"Advanced Noble Competition!"

Tang Wanli suddenly remembered what Du Yunfeng had said that the Lu family had also signed up for this Advanced Noble Competition.

It's just that this time your family signed up for the competition, but it is a competition that you must participate in every ten years after becoming a noble family, so that the royal court can know whether you are still qualified to continue to be a noble.

Instead of becoming a nobleman, this family will be a nobleman until death.

But in each city, there can only be a maximum of ten nobles of the family. If it is exceeded, it is natural that you will have to have a combat match.

This is only enough qualifications, if you want to become a true nobleman, you must go through the final battle.

The lowest-level nobleman like himself is the object of the imperial court's assessment, so naturally someone from his own family will participate, and he can ......

"Lord Du has arrived. ”

Hearing the report of his subordinates, Tang Wanli immediately stood up and greeted him, "Master Du, my son was killed, and he Ji Wujian was too much of a bully. ”

"Alas, this is also something that you and I can't do, you better mourn first!" Du Yunfeng shook his head helplessly.

"Lord Du, didn't you say that the Lu family also signed up for the Advanced Noble Competition?"

Seeing Du Yunfeng nodded, Tang Wanli immediately leaned over, "Since the Lu family has participated in the competition, then my clansmen will be able to kill Lu Ming at that time." ”

"Yes, but among the second-generation disciples of your family, are there masters who surpass the peak of the swordsman?" Du Yunfeng shook his head lightly: "Don't forget, it was Yu Hualong, who was at the peak of the swordsman, but they all died under Lu Ming's sword." ”

Tang Wanli gritted his teeth fiercely, his son was also a five-bladed swordsman, but he died under the hands of Lu Ming, who only had the realm of a one-bladed swordsman, this was simply too against the sky!

"Don't worry. Seeing Tang Wanli worried, Du Yunfeng clapped his hands, and a twenty-four or five-year-old young man came in from outside the door, with a pair of sword eyebrows and temples, his eagle-like eyes were shining, wearing a black robe, and he had a temperament like a killer!

Tang Wanli felt that the person in front of him was familiar, "Are you ...... Luo Lie?"

"General Tang is good at remembering his surname, and it is Luo Lie below. The young man said with a slight smile.

"Sure enough, it's you!" Tang Wanli was suddenly shocked, who was Luo Lie? He was only twenty-five years old, and he was a master who had reached the peak realm of a swordsman without any sword body talent!

Tang Wanli couldn't help nodding, although the swordsman was different from the swordsman, that is, the great swordsman killed the swordsman like cutting melons and chopping vegetables, but this Luo Lie was once under the sword of a great swordsman, and he resisted ten moves without dying! It can be called a wonderful flower in the realm of swordsmen! If he represented my Tang family to participate in the noble advanced competition, then Lu Ming could already sentence him to death.

Moreover, this is very beneficial for my Tang family to keep the title of nobility!

"I gave it to you, and I also guarantee that he will be able to fight against Lu Ming directly. Now as long as you take out a good sword, I will cover you with everything!" Du Yunfeng laughed a few times, Lu family, you can't run away, sooner or later it will become my meal!

"Come on, take my ten forged swords!" Tang Wanli shouted, his interest was also raised, he took the good sword sent by the next person, and said: "This is the ten forged swords I bought at the auction house for 120,000 taels of silver some time ago, piercing copper and cutting iron is as easy as cutting mud and breaking cloth, I guarantee no more than three in the entire Tiandu City, and now it is yours." ”

Luo Lie took the sword, stroked it very cherishedly, and said lightly: "Leave this matter to me, and the two of you will wait for the good news." ”

Looking at the confident Luo Lie, Tang Wanli and Du Yunfeng looked at each other and smiled, and began to calculate in their minds how much property the Lu family still had.

Early in the morning, Lu Ming returned to the Sword Academy, and the injuries in his body were almost healed in the recovery last night, just some detailed injuries, waiting for the meridians to recover.

"Lu Ming?"

Lin Tong just walked to the gate of the Sword Courtyard and saw Lu Ming's indifferent face, he suddenly took a few steps back as if he had seen a monster, hid next to the gate, and looked at him secretly.

As soon as several girls saw Lu Ming coming, they immediately screamed and fled, especially the two girls who looked like they could ward off evil spirits reacted the most.

"Morning, Lu Ming. A sword student greeted him with a smile on his face like seeing a classmate, and passed by in Lu Ming's slight gesture.

"You're stupid, don't die. A sturdy sword student pulled over the sword student who greeted Lu Ming, "You don't know what happened last afternoon, do you? A group of sword students died in our sword courtyard, don't you know who did it? You still dare to greet him? It makes him unhappy, you don't even know how to die." ”

"You mean Lu Ming? The sword student waved his hand indifferently, "If you say that someone else did it, I may believe it, but if you say that Lu Ming did it, I will definitely not believe it." Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Yu Hualong, who is at the peak of the swordsman realm, is that an ordinary swordsman? Except for Ouyang Luo, the rest of our class will not be his opponent even if they are combined! Even if it is the sword master realm, it is absolutely difficult for him to kill thirty-two sword students at once. So you guys, listening to the wind is the rain!"

The man blinked, and also felt that there was some truth: "That's right, when fighting in a group, so many people can definitely pile up a big swordsman." ”

A few people next to him who couldn't speak looked at the retreat prepared by the Sword Academy for Ouyang Luo at this moment, and the door there had not been opened since yesterday.

Lu Ming listened to these words, and knew very well in his heart that he could kill so many people in a group battle, but when he fought a great swordsman one-on-one, his winning rate was still very low, because they were completely two different concepts. After all, the swordsmen of the Great Swordsman realm, whether in terms of physical fitness or reflexes in all aspects, far surpass the swordsmen, and their sword qi is stronger.

Lu Ming walked to his own cultivation place with light steps, originally Qing'er was clamoring to follow, but at this time period, it was still better not to let her follow.

When Lu Ming walked to the place, he did not meditate cross-legged, but directly mobilized the sword marks to control the sword formation under his feet, causing it to release sword qi, and then slashed it with a sword, before sitting cross-legged and began to absorb the sword qi.

For all this, Lu Ming is already very familiar.

It's just that as long as Lu Ming feels that the sword qi is thin, he jumps out and slashes down with a sword, smashes more sword qi, absorbs more sword qi, and gradually improves his strength.

In this small forest, where no one came, no one wanted to come because of Lu Ming's reputation for cultivating here.

More than ten days have passed, and the hot summer has come to an end, and the weather has begun to cool.

People who used to know Lu Ming were almost surprised by his changes. The boy who used to be sick to the point of being white and tender and spending money very flamboyantly, and his whole body was shining with silver, now he lived like an ascetic. He was either cultivating or eating, and then he went home to sleep, and the cycle started again early the next morning.

Everything is simple, monotonous, and repeated.

Many people were surprised and said, "What's wrong with this loser?

"Hey, maybe I met a murderer that day, and I was beaten very badly, and now I'm working hard. ”

Lin Tong, who originally liked to look for opportunities to ask for money by Lu Ming's side, was already getting farther and farther away from Lu Ming, even if he saw it at the end of the street, he would hide far away.

Many people laughed at Lin Tong for being timid, but he himself had his own understanding: "Lu Ming, this guy is unassuming now, and he can be said to be very low-key." But it is precisely this change from low-key to introverted that makes me feel a very serious sense of crisis. It's almost like a mouse seeing a cat. ”

Whenever he thinks of this, Lin Tong always subconsciously touches his throat.

Ouyang Luo went out of the customs a few times, and he also saw Lu Ming cultivating without disturbing, and he could clearly feel that this nouveau riche had no breath of a loser, which made people feel that he was very sharp, even sharper.

There are fewer people who find faults, Lu Ming's cultivation speed is even faster, and in the blink of an eye, tomorrow will be the time to register for the Advanced Noble Competition.

When Lu Ming advanced to the realm of the Ten Bladed Swordsmen, a powerful sword aura rushed straight into the sky, and the entire Sword Academy was surprised, and many people pinched themselves as if they didn't believe it, wanting to know if they were dreaming!

"Sure enough. Lin Tong shook his head weakly, this loser is no longer a loser at all, his cultivation speed, even Ouyang Luo, who is greedy for the wolf sword body, can't catch up! And in the past ten days, no one has seen him make a move, let alone know what his current strength is.

The old sword master was smiling, looking at Lu Ming with kindness on his face, and took a sip of tea comfortably! He divided the remaining top-grade black tea into ten parts, and wanted to drink it in three months, but whenever Lu Ming broke through, he would brew a pot. However, just ten days have passed, and now this is the last pot.

But in the eyes of the old sword master, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a very good swordsman grow up with his own eyes.

At this moment, Lu Ming was sitting alone in the grove, holding a blunt iron sword in his hand, causing the sword marks to absorb the last trace of sword qi in the air.
