More than an hour passed, Liu Xin opened his eyes, and estimated that the hour was almost noon.

He was awakened by a sound of killing, and Liu Xin turned over and looked down cautiously.

The commanding heights where Liu Xin is located should have been a lookout.

None of the lookouts at the border were made of wood, because they would be too easily damaged.

Because it was made of stone, the observatory has been preserved to this day.

Liu Xin lay on the top, showing a head, and looked down.

Not far below, two groups of people were rapidly approaching in the direction of Liu Xin's lookout.

With Liu Xin's eyesight, he could already see that the two people led by him turned out to be Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao.

Hu Gengchen is also a member of the camp of Qin Guogong, and his strength is between Zheng Xiao and Zhongzhong.

Because this time when blocking the cavalry, Huangfu Rongjiang thought that eggs could not be put in one basket.

So Hu Gengchen did not participate in the blockade.

In the end, I didn't get a wooden card.

Therefore, he needs to team up with Zheng Xiao, who has a wooden card.

Both of them are low-grade Dacheng realm martial artists, their family backgrounds are good, and the resources they have are not bad, so they belong to the middle and upper reaches of all the contestants in terms of combat power.

So they only had two people in a team.

But now it seems that the two are teamed up, and their strength is still slightly inferior.

The group of people behind them, Liu Xin could see at a glance that they were Jianghu warriors.

They are not good at chasing and intercepting, they will only spread their legs and run wildly behind.

This group of people should not have an intellectual responsibility.

There was not a single advisor to advise them.

Otherwise, in such a terrain, once an encirclement is formed, where is there room for Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao to escape.

If it was just Hu Gengchen, Liu Xin was not ready to make a move.

But Zheng Xiao can be regarded as his friend.

And looking at the direction of Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao, their goal should be this watchtower.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with occupying a vantage point.

It's a pity that some of the people behind Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao took out a short crossbow.

This is not something that ordinary people can have.

Liu Xin's heart immediately became vigilant.

Through the incident of the cavalry of the Iron Spear Army attacking the camp, Liu Xin had already guessed that this time the Zhengyang martial arts competition would definitely not be peaceful.

The big guys above seem to have other plans.

And a small strategy of theirs may make them low-level martial artists encounter great difficulties.

Therefore, Liu Xin had to be cautious.

Now it seems that Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao's situation is not too bad.

They just don't want to fight, not without the strength to fight.

After the group of Jianghu warriors chasing behind them took out their short crossbows, Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao actually counterattacked behind them at the same time.

There were only two Dacheng Realm martial artists in the group of people chasing them.

Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao's purpose is very clear, that is, to chase one of these two Dacheng Realm martial artists.

The group of Jianghu warriors behind them didn't expect Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao to be so decisive.

For a while, it was a little chaotic.

One of the Dacheng Realm martial artists was directly slashed on the shoulder by Zheng Xiao.

For a while, blood gushed out, and Zheng Xiao took the opportunity to kick the other party's waist and abdomen.

The man was kicked straight out.

These loose cultivators among the Jianghu martial artists can reach the Dacheng realm at the age of 25, which shows that their talent is not bad.

The difference is in resources.

took the lead in solving one person, and Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao immediately began to besiege the other person.

As long as the two Dacheng Realm martial artists are eliminated first, the rest of them will no longer be a threat.

But at this time, this group of Jianghu warriors was also very decisive and directly shot their own crossbow arrows.

At close range, even a Dacheng Realm martial artist had to be very careful with these crossbow arrows.

With the assistance of the crossbow arrows, the remaining Dacheng Realm martial artist was able to stalemate with Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao.

At this moment, a strong wind blew out of nowhere, and the sky was full of sand and dust for a while.

Liu Xin could clearly see that there was overwhelming sand and dust swept over not far from the commanding heights.

He didn't expect such a strong sand and dust to suddenly appear in this place.

He knew he couldn't stay on this high ground any longer.

And the people who are fighting below have already sensed that the sandstorm is approaching.

Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao glanced at each other, forced each other to retreat, and then began to retreat.

With the speed of the Dacheng Realm martial artist and the sand and dust that gradually became bigger and bigger,

The threat posed by the crossbow bolts behind him has been minimized.

At the same time, Zheng Xiao also saw a person jumping down from the watchtower in front of him.

It's just that this man is faster, and in the blink of an eye, he disappears into the sand dunes one after another.

Zheng Xiao felt that this person's back was somewhat familiar.

But this is not the time to think about this, he and Hu Gengchen met this group of Jianghu warriors halfway, and they were so numerous that they didn't know when they arrived here.

They directly separated nearly ten people to hunt them down.

Obviously, his Hu Gengchen has not yet found the gold medal.

But soon he figured it out. The group of rivers and lakes gathered together.

With the advantage of numbers, they want to kick them out first, so that they can look for the gold medal with peace of mind.

Or maybe this group of Jianghu cultivators has divided the people into two groups, one group of people looking for gold medals, and the other group of people who are specifically responsible for targeting them.

Either way, it may be a disadvantage for those with a small number of people.

Although Hu Gengchen and Zheng Xiao can go to Huangfu Rongjiang and Shan Si and others to form a team.

But this Xuanliu Town is very large, with only twenty pieces, and the gold medal is hidden in it, if everyone still wants to get together, the chance of finding it will be greatly reduced.

And when they came, they had already discussed, and everyone felt that this gold medal could not be buried in an inconspicuous place.

There must be some obvious areas.

Otherwise, it's like a big wave sweeping the sand, and you have to find when to go.

This is the Zhengyang martial arts competition, and the competition is about combat power and comprehensive ability.

It's not luck.

Zheng Xiao and Hu Gengchen took advantage of the sandstorm to finally get rid of the group of people behind.

The two hid behind a sand dune.

Wait quietly for the sandstorm to pass.

This sandstorm came and went as fast as it came, as if it were a burst.

The two shook off the dust on their bodies, and just as they were about to leave from the sand dunes, Hu Gengchen shouted in one direction:

"What people!"

As a result, there was no movement for half a day, and Hu Gengchen sighed.

"What are you doing? Is this trying to deceive? Zheng Xiao asked.

"Well, from the very beginning I had a feeling of being targeted." Hu Gengchen explained.

The two didn't say much, left the dunes, and set off in a random direction.

After the two walked away, Liu Xin emerged from a pile of sand.

He did not have direct contact with Zheng Xiao.

After all, he is not very familiar with Hu Gengchen.

And he always feels that this third round is also deliberately done by the big guys above.

It is very likely that they also want to accomplish their purpose through this round of written exams.

If that's the case, then he'll have to be careful.

Walking on the rivers and lakes, stupid and bold, will only die quickly.

Liu Xin also casually found a direction to move forward, he actually has a great advantage alone.

There is great power in numbers, but the goal is also big, and it is impossible to hide it.

Just as Liu Xin was going in one direction, in the entire Xuanliu Town, all the contestants were unconsciously walking towards the center of the town.

Regardless of the direction they have previously chosen,

Eventually, they all took the road straight to the center of town.

Liu Xin didn't have to deliberately choose his own direction at all, he could naturally choose those corners that were more remote, would not attract attention, and would be discovered.

Not long after advancing, Liu Xin heard the voice of someone in front of him again.

This time there was no sound of fighting.

Liu Xin cautiously approached the past.

Liu Xin stopped through a wall and listened carefully to the movement over there.

On the other side of the wall is Xu Cheng from the Wenchen group's camp.

He was accompanied by three warriors, all of whom were young and handsome on the rivers and lakes, who were recruited by Wenchen.

"Xu Cheng, you have to hide that gold medal, this is the dependence of the brothers for their promotion and wealth!"

One said, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

This is a tone unique to young people on the rivers and lakes.

Almost nine-and-a-half out of ten spoke in this tone.

Jianghu people just pay attention to that breath.

Xu Cheng didn't say anything.

Liu Xin didn't seem to have seen Xu Cheng speak since he met him.

At this point, another man spoke.

"Brothers, now that we've found a gold medal, are we going to just get out of here or move on to the next one."

"Why look for the next gold medal?"

Someone asked puzzled.

"Are you stupid? Do you know how much those nobles value Zhengyang Wubi after that?

How much money do you think they would be willing to pay for a qualification? ”

"I see. Brother Chen, you are really clever. ”

"Awards, awards."

Several people were bragging there, but Xu Cheng was still silent.

Liu Xin was thinking about the luck of this group of people, and it was really good.

Does he want to snatch the gold medal?

However, in the face of Xu Cheng, he was not completely sure.

Besides, he has three helpers by his side.

Liu Xin cautiously wanted to observe the cultivation of these three people.

As soon as his body moved, he felt a killing intent.

Liu Xin's body suddenly disappeared in place, and he threw himself forward with a short body.

And where he was standing, the stone wall was pierced directly by a quick knife.

The knife was incredibly fast, and it was as sharp as piercing a stone wall as silky as a piece of tofu.

Liu Xin knew that he had been discovered, and judging from the extent of this knife, it should be Xu Cheng.

It's really hard to entangle.

Liu Xin decisively chose to retreat.

His body is the best, and he can't make the slightest sound when he walks.

When Xu Cheng appeared behind this stone wall, there was no trace of Liu Xin.

Xu Cheng sniffled and whispered.

Liu Xin...... That sachet on your body, the smell is too strong! ”

Liu Xin didn't know that he was exposed because of the sachet he was wearing on his waist.

He didn't know that Xu Cheng was gifted and particularly sensitive to smells.

Of course, this function is basically useless when it is in the city.

Because the smell there is just too complicated.

The same is true on the battlefield. Tens of thousands of people sweat together, what else can you smell?

It was only in this extremely empty place that Xu Cheng could smell the smell of Liu Xin's body.

Liu Xin only felt that Xu Cheng's strength was really terrifying, and he was able to discover him.

So he chose to take a step back for the time being.

It's not the best time to go head-to-head with Xu Cheng now.

Persimmon should be picked soft pinch.

He didn't want to meet a master like Guan De and Xu Cheng just yet.

continued to walk in one direction, and in about a quarter of an hour, Liu Xin actually met a group of people again.

And this time it turned out to be Guan De and the four warriors.

Liu Xin was a little surprised, what happened to him?

How did you have such a fate with them, and you met them one after another.

However, depending on the situation, Guan De and they should not have found the gold medal, they are still running in one direction.

When they passed by where Liu Xin was hiding, they didn't notice that there was still a person hiding here.

And Guan De was talking about something irritably.

Liu Xin, who heard what Guan De said, was stunned for a moment.

"What the hell is this place? I was obviously going west, but before I knew it, it became east again! ”

"Brother Guan, could it be that you made a mistake in identification?"

"Fart, the compass in my hand is specially made, and you can't go wrong!"

Guan De's irritable voice continued to come, and gradually faded away.

And it wasn't until this time that Liu Xin suddenly noticed something.

When he came, he was going all the way north, but when Liu Xin looked up to see the direction of the sun, he was surprised to find that the direction he was moving now was actually east.

It stands to reason that he entered on the south side of Xuanliu Town, and if he wanted to go deep into it, he had to go all the way north.

But before he knew it, he had also turned to the east.

Combined with what Guan De said before, he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

When his gaze fell on the surrounding yellow sand and dry stones again, he felt that these things were revealing a burst of weirdness.

Next, Liu Xin tried to find a relatively high position.

But there was no watchtower in sight of the kind he had found earlier.

The tallest building is only five or six meters long.

Not enough for him to observe the terrain here.

In desperation, Liu Xin could only try to continue north.

But it was another quarter of an hour to the end of the month.

Liu Xin looked up and found his way forward, and unconsciously turned to due east again.

"There's something wrong with this place!"

Liu Xin muttered to himself.

At this moment, several people came out from behind a stone wall in front of them.

It seems that they are all warriors.

This group of people must have formed an alliance.

I want to expel all the contestants from their court.

There were a total of five people in front, and Liu Xin confirmed through the attribute panel that there were two Dacheng Realm martial artists inside.

Their standard configuration seems to be a team with two Dacheng Realm martial artists.

In this way, even if you can't beat the contestants from the imperial court, you won't be able to escape.

"Boy, you're also the one who owns the wooden card, why are you the only one?"

A bald man was shirtless, revealing a burly figure, with a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Boss, he seems to be the one who fought in the cavalry camp yesterday!"

The man next to the bald man whispered to him.

The bald man was stunned when he heard this.

The next moment, the hideous smile on his face turned into a flattering smile.

"I see, this brother, hello!"

Liu Xin looked at each other silently, playing this face-changing trick.

"What do you want?"

Liu Xin feels very casual.

This is also in line with the bald man's identity in the hearts of several of them.

Although they are martial artists in the rivers and lakes, those who can participate in the Zhengyang martial arts competition will not be stupid.

They've all inquired about what happened yesterday.

I know that there are two people who have entered the cavalry camp.

Both of them were unprovoked by their unanimous opinion.

Those who dare to rush directly in the face of the cavalry's charge are at least the combat power of the mid-grade Dacheng realm.

And with their strength, they can't deal with such a master.

Therefore, the bald man knows that the current affairs are Junjie, and he directly admits it.

Liu Xin rolled his eyes and had an idea in his heart.

"When you meet, it's fate. Can you do me a favor? ”

"Huh?"

The bald man was slightly stunned, just about to say that they had other things to do.

I saw that Liu Xin's body directly turned into a phantom, spanning a distance of fifty or sixty meters in the middle.

When the bald man reacted, Liu Xin had already come to him, and the long sword was pointed at his throat.

The cold light emitted by the Breaking Dao Sword and the incomparably powerful aura of the wind directly made the bald man feel a chill in his throat and a tingling sensation.

He and the other person were also Dacheng Realm martial artists, and they couldn't even react.

It was really Liu Xin who opened the [Speed Pulse] plus the top body method, and at this moment, his speed was even far beyond the ordinary middle-grade Dacheng realm.

"Huh? Would you like to? ”

Liu Xin's face was full of kind smiles.

The bald man felt as if he had once provoked a senior in the rivers and lakes.

It feels like I'm being beaten.

At the same time, he actually appeared in his heart that it was me who was not good, and I shouldn't provoke the mood of the big guy.

So in response to Liu Xin's request, the bald man nodded again and again.

"What this brother wants us to do, we can't do it.

Isn't it, dick? ”

The Dacheng Realm martial artist beside the bald man nodded yes again and again.

Liu Xin smiled and put away the Dao Breaking Sword.

"What I want you to do is very simple, just the five of you running in different directions."

"Huh?"

The bald man was slightly stunned.

Oh, this big guy, what kind of quirk are you?

But before the doubts in his heart could be converted into question marks in his mouth, Liu Xin's sword blade was unsheathed by another half an inch.

The bald man immediately became extremely active.

"We will do whatever this brother says.

Brothers, each choose a direction to run! ”

"Don't worry, wait until I'm done." Liu Xin put his sword back into its sheath and said with a smile.

The bald man nodded immediately.

The rest of the people also looked at Liu Xin with a serious face.

Jianghu people can bend and stretch.

"I need you to run in five different directions, the time is one stick of incense, and when the time is up, you have to go back.

Do you understand? I'll be waiting for you here! ”
