In the early morning, the morning sun is rising.

No matter how many inferences and speculations there are off the field, the Golden Autumn Wubi is the main color of Bowang City in the past four days, and even if Qi Zhaohua and Cui Yu are worried, they can't stop Shang Huaitong from going to the ring; And any purpose that Shang Huaitong diligently pursues must eventually be obtained from the sword in the martial arts.

The morning fog gradually dissipated, the air above the martial arts arena was clear, and the audience sitting opposite each other could clearly see each other's expressions.

This is the second day of the Golden Autumn Martial Arts Competition, and the main fight has not yet begun, but the people are almost full, and it does not look boring - the loser fight has already begun.

The fight between these players who have lost a round is to some extent more exciting than yesterday, because it is rare for a situation where two or three moves are over, everyone is a chess opponent, and there is always a slight difference between the moves, and the fight is painful and thrilling, and from time to time there is a startling cheer.

Pei Li and the other sixty-four players still walked into the martial arts arena at more than half of the hour, and the ring had been combined into two larger ones, and the table was several feet higher than the top of their heads.

Pei Ye glanced at it, it was one and three together, and two and four together. In the competition of sixty-four into thirty-two, he had Yang Yan, Zhang Mozhu, Shen Qi, and Zhang Zongyuan, who was the envoy in the last game yesterday.

The other is Shang Huaitong, Li Yiqing, Zhang Junxue, Gu Guang, and the rest are mostly sect disciples, obviously in this field, it is possible for the two powerhouses to meet in advance.

Pei Li came down early today, and the drawing of notes had not yet begun, and everyone was scattered and chatting. Shen Qi and Zhang Mozhu stood together, both of them were in charge of affairs in their respective doors, even at this time, they were talking about business.

Yang Yan was frowning and reading a booklet, Pei Ye glanced at it, and saw that it was the reward rules of the martial arts competition, and the young man was staring closely at the last line: the leader of the seven rounds of victory, one hundred taels of silver, awarded the bronze finch charm, the inscription 'Bowang Jinqiu Kui', a Dengtian Dan, the sword of the East China Sea Sword Furnace, the swordsmanship "Avalanche Snow", and the Han Pavilion awarded the name of the god Jing Wuju.

Pei Li remembered that after the top sixteen, each layer would add a new reward on the basis of the previous reward, and when it reached the top layer, it was already too rich and attractive.

But the boy was just staring at the swordsmanship anyway.

Zhang Zongyuan obviously didn't know anyone, and he didn't seem to want to know anyone, he avoided the crowd at a considerable distance, and leaned silently under the ring with a stick in his arms.

Yesterday he smashed Xiao Qiu with a stick vividly in his mind, Pei Ye hesitated, and just wanted to go up to chat a few words, but suddenly there was a loud bang, and the public called for a note.

This time, Pei Ye was in the first place, walked to the box, and reached out first to touch the note, but it was a "Qi".

Yang Yan followed behind him, and also touched one to open it, and Pei Ye looked over to see it, but it was a "".

"You're in luck." Pei Ye snorted.

Yang Yan rolled his eyes.

The draws in the back are also very neutral, and Shen Qi, Zhang Mozhu, and Zhang Zongyuan did not bump into each other.

However, it does not mean that this fight is boring, in any case, the quality of the players has been improved to a higher level, even in those situations where they are sure to win, the winner has more room to play, and there is less of the "I haven't tried my strength, you will fall" situation.

Pei Ye should be the strongest of the few people drawn, and the opponent is the four-life disciple of Qijiao Cave, even if it is placed this year, it is also a player who has a chance to enter the top eight.

When the sunlight crossed the stands and shone into the ring, the sound of the ding sounded at the same time, the red silk was put away, the egret passed through the sky, and in the surrounding sounds, two four players walked up at the same time.

The first one in this ring is Zhang Zongyuan.

This man in his early thirties has never said a word, after breaking Xiao Qiu with a stick yesterday, although some people say that Xiao Qiu is simple and easy to be targeted, most people still think that the man is overpowered by hard power, that is, the man is likely to be the fifth fifth student in addition to Li Yiqing, Shen Qi, Yang Yan, and Zhang Mozhu.

And today, his opponent once again provided strong evidence for this speculation - a four-life disciple of Baizhu Pavilion was sent out of the ring by a man with a stick.

Once or again, twice had to be left to chance, and the men's performance added another fog to the selection of the top four, and in this short quarter of an hour, at least twenty taels of silver were piled up on the name "Zhang Zongyuan" in the gambling hall.

After that, Shen Qi also won smoothly, and after that, it was Pei Ye's turn.

The signing order has already been announced, and everyone stared at the young man walking into the ring, if yesterday's Wen Tun performance was due to the opponent's too weakness, then today he is definitely facing a strong opponent. There are even many people who think that compared to this country boy who no one knew before and didn't see where the strength was, the Qijiao disciple was actually more likely to win.

"The second fight, the seventh game! Pei Li, Wei Guangzhou! ”

Pei Ye stepped into the ring, he was indeed much more serious than the first one - the opponent of Sisheng has already stood at the same level as himself in terms of basic quality, and the victory or defeat is already considered "only known after fighting".

Pei Ye was still holding his sword and saluting, but the other party's movements were obviously tense - he was present at the poetry meeting that day.

That is, when he caught this tightness, Pei Ye couldn't help but smile.

It is not impossible to be nervous in the face of a strong enemy, but the tension after the sword frame represents prudence and pressure, and it begins to stiffen from the time of salutation, which can only indicate that the heart has not arrived, and it is cowardly before fighting.

This actually made Pei Ye a little disappointed, and when he drew this name, Shen Qi said that this name was also emerging in Qijiao Cave, and he planned to fight happily.

Pei Liquid Falcon generally swept up, different from Feng Guangsui's design everywhere yesterday, the boy's trajectory was straight and clear, and the sword path was also clean and simple. [Breaking the ground], the first type of the cicada, the sword momentum is from the bottom up, the strength is three and seven, and the true qi is more than before.

If this is a game of chess, this move is simply a "head shot".

Although Wei Guangzhou was indeed nervous, he was not dizzy after all, he lowered his sword and replied with a neutral "vaulting horse".

But the moment the two swords intersected, things immediately went wrong.

The force coming from the sword suddenly increased, as if he was about to suddenly break the enemy in one fell swoop, and Wei Guangzhou was startled and immediately exerted the same force. But at the moment when his true qi exploded, the confrontation under the sword suddenly disappeared. So Wei Guangzhou was shocked again, he knew that he was going to change his move immediately, but the sword in his hand could not listen to the call for a while, so he could only barely lean over, lose his posture, and fortunately heard a "ding" strike.

But this "ding" immediately turned into a transposed "Zheng", and the other party's sword, which was still splitting horizontally a moment ago, suddenly turned into a soft snake for some reason, and it was already going up along the sword, and it had hit his wrist in the blink of an eye.

Wei Guangzhou finally woke up to the insurmountable chasm of the "sword" itself - this is not fair chess at all, the opponent's rook is flying all over the chessboard!

The opponent's first sword is the core of the snake, and the moment the two swords fight, it accurately grasps the strength and reaction of the prey, and then calmly kills.

Wei Guangzhou gritted his teeth and retreated, wanting to fight hard for the last time - he was going to make a sword attack.

But there was no room for this, and there was a sharp pain in the wrist, and the long sword "ding" fell to the ground. Facing the disciples of the Seven Jiaodong Cave, Pei Ye did not show the gentleness and patience of the previous game, but simply won the victory.

Then he still stepped back and hugged his sword, and made a dignified concession salute.

There was a cheer on the field, even if it was a tepid victory, it was a victory, and a victory was a place where victory could win people's favor. People finally saw that this young man or such a gentle character, although it didn't seem to be happy enough, but he finally got to know the person "Pei Li".

After that, Yang Yan and Zhang Mozhu both won steadily. When Pei Li's eyes turned to the first blow, the girl was already victorious, and waved her hand to this side.

This time, it was her own family who was sent to the loser, and Chu Nian was waiting for the distribution behind the loser with her head down. Pei Li couldn't help laughing, and the girl showed him an incomprehensible smile.

After that, Zhang Junxue and Gu Guang also won the victory respectively, and then the audience once again ushered in the highest call - Shang Huaitong stood in the ring.

His movements were the same as in the previous fight, he did not salute or stop, he took his sword and went straight forward, and once again sheathed the opponent who had just finished saluting and was hesitating to draw his sword from the ring.

The young man in blue collapsed under the stage, blood vomited on the ground, and he didn't know how many bones were broken, and he couldn't stand up for half a day.

This opponent is almost exactly the same as last time, young, sword-wielding, hesitant and timid, and still only three lives, it is really not worth the man's more energy.

The only difference is the clothes.

On the first day, Jian Zimin was wearing a white white bamboo door suit, while the person who fell to the ground now was dressed in a blue coat with a dragon photoprinted on it.

This is the "Silver Mist" door suit, he is a disciple of the third cave of Qijiao.

“.” There was a moment of silence on the field.

The matchup information has been announced for a long time, and everyone knows the identities of the two people on the field. If yesterday was a direct revenge, why is such a heavy hand today? Everyone suddenly had a strange idea - in this martial arts competition, this man does not seem to have the words "point to stop" in his heart.

Ignoring any reaction from anyone, Shang Huaitong walked down calmly.

"Unless. He did see this as an obstacle. ”

——

The autumn moon hangs high.

The street was a kind of extreme silence after the bustle, Pei Ye and Li Yiqing walked along the street, and the moon stretched the shadows extremely long.

"So they're still here to study the Sword Academy." The girl put her hands behind her back and kicked her steps, "That's what Master said. ”

"Lord Sui's tone at that time was to ask him to go to Shaolong for the test after winning the championship, but that will wait until the spring of next year, Qijiao Cave can't afford to wait, and Shang Huaitong will not be satisfied." Li Yiqing continued, "Master went to the state government today to inquire—after Lord Sui separated from us at that time, he did not leave immediately, but when he said goodbye to Thorn Shi and others, he chatted with Luo Defeng Shang Huaitong for half an hour. ”

"What did you talk about?"

"How do you know?" Li Yiqing shook his head, "Maybe they think they have something enough to make Lord Sui change his tone." ”

"It's hard for us to know."

"Yes, then, we also entrusted Baizhu Pavilion to check on the Zhang family."

Pei Ye was surprised: "Did you really go to check?" ”

"Since you find a sign that something is wrong, of course you have to investigate." Li Yiqing glanced at him, "And you know what, there are really some discoveries." ”

"What discovery?"

"The head of the Zhang family is here."

"Isn't it normal for Wubi to be so big, come and see the performance of your own children?"

"Yes, but before today, the performance of the Zhang family has always been that he will not come."

“.”

"And he really didn't come." Li Yuqing continued, "But today, he quietly entered the city. ”

"What is this going to do?"

"I don't know, he didn't even join the Zhang family, and he disappeared after entering the city." The girl had a small wooden sword around her hand, "Ling Baizhu and Cui Yu can't find it, it's mostly under the wings of Qijiao." ”

“.”

"Anyway, we'll try to find him by tomorrow night."

"Is it easy to find?"

"Well, there are two ways - first, most of the 'wings' of Qijiao are broken, we only need to aim at those intact places, and second, since this matter has fallen into our eyes, the Zhang family is now in the city, and there is a way to think of it anyway."

"Oh" Pei Ye nodded slowly, raised his hand and said, "That. Try not to hurt the harmony with Junxue. ”

“.” Li Yiqing rolled her eyes, "You can't figure out which side Zhang Junxue is standing on." ”

"After all, it's a clan, if something happens to the Zhang family, I don't think Jun Xue will be happy, right?"

"Thank you Pei Shaoxia for reminding me, I don't know when I'm going to destroy the door."

“.”

This is the evening of the eighth day of the ninth month, and the second day of the Golden Autumn Martial Arts Contest has passed, and the thirty-two people have already decided, if you want to give the martial arts a part of the upper and lower parts, that line should be drawn tonight.

From tomorrow, the battle will be fierce suddenly, the players of the second life will almost disappear, and the third life will also become the level of being screened by a large number of people, even if the fourth life is not safe, it is difficult to say that it is safe this year - there are already three lessons from the past two days.

But again, the rewards will take to another level.

It's not such a coincidence, but the reward of the state government is set according to this line.

"Sixty-four people who win a round, one or two silver."

"Thirty-two people who win the second round, five taels of silver."

"Sixteen people who win three rounds, ten taels of silver, and give the iron fish talisman."

In the painless few taels of silver, something that can be relied on for life suddenly appeared, and in the eyes of many martial artists, this is the highest end of this martial arts competition. Of course, to get this talisman, you need to win one more game in addition to tomorrow - either to win sixteen to eight, or to fend off the losers.

It was on such a previous night, after still having dinner in Guanliulou, Li Yiqing leaned against the window and asked Pei Ye if she wanted to meet her master.

Of course, Pei Li had met with the old man before, but the old man was too busy under the sudden change at that time, so he just made a special trip to thank him, and he didn't have time to talk deeply.

These days, the girl always conveys the regret that the master wants to see him again but can't get out, and it wasn't until tonight that she finally had a tight free time.

Of course, Pei Ye couldn't say that he didn't have time, so he naturally nodded hurriedly and got the girl's happy smile.

"Huh? It's raining again. The girl who was stepping on the moonlight next to her suddenly paused.

Pei Ye raised his head, and under the clear sky of the bright moon, there was indeed an invisible coldness falling.
