Chapter 170: The First Competition

The next six days.

Ren Pingsheng will take some time out every day to compete with Xiao Nuxia to improve his actual combat ability.

In addition, he occasionally bullied and bullied Jiang Chuyue, or he went to Yong'an Palace to have a tryst with his sister-in-law.

Time flies like a white horse.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to compete with the Demon Clan's mission.

The location of the competition was set at Yuanwu Lake, next to the Baizi Temple on the central island.

Thousands of years ago.

In the face of the powerful demon clan, Bai Yue, the hero of the ancient era, saved the human race from fire and water with his own strength.

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, it is already a sea of vicissitudes.

Many things have gradually dissipated in the long river of history, but what remains unchanged is that the demon race is still the greatest threat to the human race.

Emperor Zhaowu set the location of the competition here, presumably intentionally.

I just don't know.

In front of this Terran hero, can Ren Pingsheng's nine people live up to their mission and defeat the Tianjiao of the demon clan.

Chenshi.

The east shore of Yuanwu Lake was already full of people who had come to watch.

With the impetus of the demon envoys, the matter of the martial arts competition is already known to everyone, and no one knows about it.

Matters.

Even people who don't like to join in the excitement on weekdays come to the lakeside early, hoping to occupy a better position.

"That's a lot of people......"

On the island in the middle of the lake, Jiang Chuyue looked at the surging crowd on the shore in a daze and muttered to herself.

Ren Pingsheng raised his eyes and looked, and everywhere he looked, there were onlookers.

Such a grand spectacle.

He couldn't help but think of the picture he saw when he accompanied his sister-in-law to watch the Dragon Boat Festival a few months ago.

Rough estimates.

There are many more people who came this time than the Dragon Boat Festival.

"It seems that the people of the capital already know the contents of the treaty......"

A deep voice came from my ears.

Ren Pingsheng turned his head to look, and it was Xiao Jing Anhou Shi Ze who spoke.

Now.

His expression was serious, his eyebrows were full of determination, and he said sonorously: "This competition is related to the national fortune of my Great Zhou, even if we fight for our lives, we will win!" ”

The voice fell.

The crowd was silent.

Ren Pingsheng knew that he was ready to die, and what he wanted to say was held back without saying a word.

Half a day.

On the east shore of the lake, there was a sudden burst of heated discussion.

The onlookers were all pointing in a certain direction.

"The people of the demon clan are here?"

Ren Pingsheng looked in the direction they pointed, and sure enough, he saw a group of "people" in strange costumes not far away.

At the forefront was a young man with a tall posture and a handsome appearance.

The word glamorous may be more appropriate than handsome.

Because his facial features are too delicate, and his skin is too delicate.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if it's a sister-in-law who is still a girl, it's not much better.

Physical appearance is not the point.

The focus is on his identity.

He walked in the forefront, and the demons behind him didn't dare to be a little presumptuous.

Even Ye Xuan, who has always been arrogant, and the banshee who had a two-sided relationship, behaved respectfully.

"Could it be the Great Demon of the Transcendent Realm?"

Ren Pingsheng stared directly at the bewitching young man, and made a guess in his heart.

That's when it happened.

A deep, magnetic voice rang out over the island in the middle of the lake.

"Nine Infants...... Are you all in the place? ”

It was the sacrificial wine of the Holy Courtyard that spokeβ€”Cheng Daru.

Not far away.

The bewitching young man was expressionless and bowed slightly.

"Big Demon Nine Infants, I didn't expect the messenger of the demon clan to be it this time!"

There was a slightly surprised voice from Xiao Nuxia in her ears.

Ren Pingsheng asked curiously, "It's strong?" ”

He has lived in the north for a long time, and he knows the barbarian powerhouse very well, but he doesn't know much about the demon powerhouse.

Xiao Rongxue said: "He is the youngest transcendent realm powerhouse of the demon clan, and it only took thirty years to go from the ninth rank to the transcendent.

When he became famous, the imperial court also organized strong people to enter the territory of the demon clan to hunt him, but it ended in failure......"

Sure enough, it's a great demon in the transcendent realm.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Jiuying, lowered his voice and said: "He is quite bold, he dares to go deep into the capital alone, if Emperor Zhaowu organizes a strong man to hunt him, I don't know how sure he is that he can escape back to the south." ”

Xiao Rongxue said in a deep voice: "Maybe it is precisely because I am sure that I can escape from the hunt that I dare to come to the capital alone." ”

The two talked.

Cheng Daru has completed negotiations with Jiuying.

I don't know when.

Xu Ruxian, the imperial historian of the left capital, and Wang Zheng, the master of ceremonies, also came to the island in the middle of the lake.

The two of them activated the aura in their bodies, soared into the air, and suspended in midair.

and Cheng Daru and the Great Demon Nine Infants, each occupying a corner.

Follow.

The four extraordinary powerhouses shot at the same time, using the majestic aura to isolate a small space.

This space is available on land, water and air, which is enough for the monks of the five grades to give full play.

"In the first competition, Zhu Yan of the Demon Clan played against Daoist Xuancheng of the Great Zhou!"

The melodious sound spreads out around the island in the middle of the lake.

On the east bank, when the onlookers heard this, they all boiled.

Da Zhou's side.

The order of appearance has been arranged three days ago.

Daozun's personal disciple, his aunt's junior brother - Xuancheng Daochang, his surface strength and actual combat ability are decent.

The first appearance can test the reality of the other party and lay the foundation for the latecomers.

It doesn't matter even if you lose.

On the demon side.

The order of appearance is also mentioned and arranged.

Looking up, I saw a rugged strong man walking out of the opposite side.

Barefoot, eyes twinkling.

The corners of the mouth are like a slaughterer's fire bowl.

Fangs support the blade of the sword, and the red hair is unkempt and fluffy.

The image is somewhat similar to Sha Wujing in Journey to the West.

The two of them walked into the aura space one after the other.

After each of them took their positions, they silently waited for the competition to begin.

Accompanied by a dull bell.

The competition has officially begun!

Daoist Xuan Cheng stood in place, motionless, carefully observing the other party, trying to find a flaw.

Opposite side.

It was like Sha Wujing's demon clan, and he glanced at Xuancheng Daoist contemptuously.

Immediately after, he made a move that everyone didn't expect.

I saw that he ignored Daoist Xuan Cheng, who was preoccupied and ready to attack at any time, and sat down cross-legged directly.

Meanwhile.

Ren Pingsheng and the others on the island in the middle of the lake could clearly feel that the aura around him was converging on him.

Just a few breaths.

His aura continued to climb at an extremely fast speed, reaching a new level.

"He's ...... Breakthrough?! ”

Everyone, including Ren Pingsheng, saw this scene, their pupils contracted violently, and their faces were incredulous.

Don't talk about them.

Even the three extraordinary powerhouses hanging in the air were shocked when they saw this scene.

To know.

The rules of the competition only stipulate that the level below the fourth grade must be maintained before the competition, but it does not stipulate that the realm below the fourth grade must be maintained after the competition.

In other words.

The breakthrough was completed in the process of the competition, which was fully in line with the rules.

It's just that......

If he really wants to complete a breakthrough, what else is there to compete?

Even if it is only the fourth product that has just completed the breakthrough, against the fifth product, not to mention crushing, at least it can win effortlessly.

"No wonder Jiuying proposed such a competition rule, it turned out that he really planned to break through after the competition......"

The celebrant sealed Wang Zheng in his palm, and looked at this scene in a daze, with a trace of trance in his eyes.

This happens.

He and Emperor Zhaowu were not unexpected.

It's just that.

In their opinion, it is too difficult to suppress the realm until the breakthrough is completed after the competition, and it is difficult to achieve.

Moreover, in the process of breaking through, unprotected, it is easy to be defeated.

Even if someone can really achieve the suppression realm, when it comes to the competition field, it is almost impossible to complete the breakthrough.

Soon.

Everyone realized this and reminded: "Don't let him complete the breakthrough!" Hurry up! ”

As a matter of fact.

Their voices couldn't be heard in the test room.

And.

The mentally tense Xuan Cheng Dao Chang reacted faster than them.

Almost at the moment when he sensed that the other party was breaking through.

He's already made a move.

Throw out a piece of talisman paper and throw it at the other party.

The rune paper drew a curve in mid-air and landed precisely in front of Zhu Yan.

Boom!

I heard only a bang.

Dirt and smoke were flying.

A few breaths later.

Everything is calm again.

Zhu Yan still sat in place, motionless.

The aura around the body is still rising.

"Damn it!"

When Daoist Xuancheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but curse secretly.

He knew it.

The other party must not be allowed to complete the breakthrough, otherwise it will not only be himself who will be affected, but also the eight people behind.

Because according to the rules of the competition, only one side will be defeated will be discontinued.

If this guy is promoted to the fourth grade, after he loses, it is very likely that the next few people will also be frustrated!

That's it.

He didn't dare to have any scruples, mobilized the aura of his whole body, held the dust in one hand, and held the long sword in the other, and rushed towards the other party.

Halfway through.

Whisk the dust and shake it gently.

Countless fallen leaves on the ground turned into a dart-like hidden weapon, smashing towards Zhu Yan overwhelmingly.

Almost at the same time.

Piercing out the long sword, the sword blade is pointing at Zhu Yan's eyebrows!

In the first two days of competition.

In the face of this move, even the powerful Xiao Nuxia had to avoid the edge for the time being.

Daoist Xuan Cheng is very confident.

If Zhu Yan doesn't stop breaking through and takes this move, he will definitely die!

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The sword blade was only a stone's throw away from Zhu Yan's eyebrows.

Zhu Yan didn't have the slightest intention of making a move, and still sat cross-legged in place, motionless.

"Look for death!"

Xuan Cheng Dao's eyes burst out with sharp light, and he held the chance to win, mobilized the aura of his whole body, and stabbed out this killer sword!

Boom Boom!

between the electric light and flint.

The ground around Zhu Yan suddenly cracked.

The smoke and dust in the sky suddenly submerged the two of them.

"What's going on inside? Why did that demon clan sit still and let Xuancheng Dao fight for a long time? ”

"Who can see clearly, did Daoist Xuancheng kill that demon beast?"

"If you can't kill it, it's a joke!"

Shore.

The onlookers pointed at the competition and discussed.

Ren Pingsheng and the others frowned, and their hearts hung in the air.

Because they know it in their hearts.

Demons are not stupid.

It is impossible to commit an act of sending to death.

Since he dares to choose to break through at this time, he must have a certain hole card.

I just don't know.

Can Xuancheng Daoist crack it?

If that Zhu Yan really broke through to the fourth grade in the end, things would be in trouble.

Time passes.

A moment later.

The smoke cleared, revealing what's inside.

Where Zhu Yan was originally sitting, a pit that was not big or small appeared.

Now.

He stood in the air, like a statue, motionless.

The eyes flickered, like a double lamp at the bottom of the stove, which was daunting.

Not far away.

Xuan Cheng Dao Chang was half-kneeling on the ground, one hand covering his chest, and the corners of his mouth were full of blood.

He ...... Breakthrough to the fourth grade! ”

Be aware of this.

The faces of the other eight people, including Ren Pingsheng, all became extremely solemn, and they fell silent one by one, without saying a word.

Equally.

on the East Coast.

The people were also dead silent.

Many people still can't believe that what they are seeing is real.

"Xuancheng Dao Chang...... Actually lost? ”

Inside the tournament arena.

Daoist Xuan Cheng clutched his chest, struggling to get up.

Before he could stand up, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The body staggered again.

Opposite side.

Zhu Yan looked at Daoist Xuan Cheng with contempt and walked slowly to him.

Lift your foot and step on his shoulder, straining slightly.

The weakened Xuancheng Daoist knelt directly on the ground.

It's just that.

He didn't give in, and with the last of his strength, he reached for the sword beside him.

"Huh!"

Zhu Yan looked down at Daoist Xuan Cheng condescendingly, and let out a disdainful snort.

Kick the sword away.

Immediately after, lift your foot and step on his head until he is completely prostrate on the ground.

Turning around, facing the onlookers on the east bank, he raised his head slightly, and put on a posture of showing off his might.

Quiescence.

Deathly silence.

In the face of such insults.

The faces of countless people were red, their chests were stuffy, and they wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

But.

At this moment, they can only watch from afar, and there is nothing they can do.

"No wonder the Demon Clan Mission spared no effort to publicize this competition, it turned out that they wanted to use this competition to frustrate the spirit of the people of our Great Zhou.

These demon animals...... His heart can be punished! ”

Xiao Jing Anhou's eyes were red, and he squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth.

There was silence.

Compared to the provocation of the demon clan.

They care more about the next competition.

A four-pin

None of them were sure of defeating each other, including Ren Pingsheng.

Just as everyone was thinking about how to deal with this sudden change.

Xiao Jing Anhou's voice sounded again: "Next time, I'll come!" ”

The voice fell.

Everyone looked at him, thought for a moment, and bowed their heads one after another, agreeing with his thoughts.

Meanwhile.

In the jousting arena.

Zhu Yan, who won, did not kill Daoist Xuancheng, but began to torture him.

First his legs were cut off, and then his feet were cut off.

The cruelty of the means made hundreds of people turn their faces, couldn't bear it, and didn't dare to look at it again.

Wait until Xuancheng Dao's flesh and blood are blurred, and there is only one breath left.

Grabbed him by the hair and threw him out like garbage.

"Damn it!"

I saw the Taoist Xuancheng who was tortured to the point of not being human.

Even Ren Pingsheng, who had no friendship with him, couldn't help blushing.

There is an urge to rush in and treat others in their own way.

side.

Xiao Jing Anhou could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, and rushed directly into the martial arts arena.

Facing the murderous Zhu Yan.

Without the slightest fear, he said sharply: "Dog thing! How you tortured Daoist Xuancheng just now, Lao Tzu will torture you even harder! ”

Zhu Yan stood in place, still disdainful, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

Meanwhile.

A melodious voice sounded again, breaking the silence.

"In the second competition, the demon clan Zhu Yan will play against Da Zhou!"
