Chapter Eighty-Four: The Martial Arts Begin!
Not far in front of the Jiang Lincheng City Lord's Mansion is a huge bluestone square, at this moment, the five high platforms on the square have been built, and the dense warriors are all crowded in front of the high platform, which is very noisy.
Behind this high platform is a huge stand. At this moment, the people of the three major families, together with the representatives of the scattered cultivators, all came here and sat on both sides of the stands.
"The city lord is here!"
As a voice sounded, the crowd split to both sides, and a group of dozens of people stepped forward.
Duanmu Thunder Dragon walked in the forefront, and as soon as it approached, the surrounding crowd all felt a majestic coercion, which made people feel cold.
"See the city lord!"
After Duanmulei and the others had just stepped into the stands, the three major families, along with many scattered cultivators, all stood up and bowed.
"You don't have to be polite!" Duanmu Lei's face was majestic, and his eyes swept across the audience like an eagle's falcon.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, when his eyes swept in the direction of the Huo family, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
I saw that the crowd in the place where the Huo family was located was sparse, and the young children were even less than half a little. And their faces were gloomy as water, and their bodies exuded a fierce and sad aura.
"Brother Huo, what are you ......" Duanmu Lei's heart was full of doubts, and he asked Huo Poshan at this moment.
"City Lord, my Huo family has just experienced a funeral, and the clansmen are depressed, I hope the city lord will forgive me!" Huo Poshan seemed to be a little older, and bowed down at this moment and said.
"Funeral?"
Duanmu Lei frowned, he heard that the Ling family had a funeral a few days ago, why did the Huo family also have a funeral today!
"What's going on?"
Hearing the city lord's inquiry, Huo Poshan's body could no longer suppress the slightest evil qi, and his body trembled slightly due to grief and indignation:
"Twenty-one children of our clan met with an accident last night and were burned to death, and they didn't find out until early this morning!"
"Oh?" Duanmu Lei's eyes condensed slightly, this Huo Poshan is a strong man in the stars, and he can burn so many children under his nose, the murderer must be very extraordinary:
"Brother Huo has found out who did it?"
"No one has found the whereabouts of the thief, but it is likely to be related to that Ye Nan evil animal!"
Huo Poshan's eyes were fierce and his face was resentful.
"Ye Nan?"
Hearing this, not only Duanmu Lei, but even the rest of the people were pale.
Ye Nan killed more than 20 children of the Ling family last time, and now that the children of the Huo family have also been killed, then he is naturally the most suspicious.
At this moment, the faces of everyone in the field were extremely complicated, who would have thought that the original Ye family's waste materials would be able to make the three major families so embarrassed today.
And Duanmu Lei was also very surprised in his heart, Ye Nan had stirred up the entire Jianglin City recently, and he, as the lord of Jianglin City, naturally knew about it. But the more this happened, the more curious he became about Ye Nan.
"Brother Huo, please mourn!" Duanmulei comforted Huo Poshan, and then turned around and walked towards the first seat of the stands.
Behind him, Duanmu Min'er's beautiful eyes were tightly locked on the guard's face, and his expression was very complicated.
"What's wrong?" the guard seemed to be very uncomfortable with Duanmu Min'er's gaze, and asked slightly embarrassed at the moment.
"You're a monster!" Duanmu Min'er muttered softly, and then turned his head away.
Hearing this, the guard touched his nose, but his eyes looked at the place where the three major families were located again, but it was cold.
"Huh?"
Seeing Duanmu Min'er talking to the guard in a low voice, Huangfu Zhiming, who was following behind, couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Isn't this person a guard?" Huangfu Zhiming took the scene of the conversation between the two into his eyes, and was very puzzled at the moment, and when he looked at the guard, his eyes couldn't help but have some deeper meanings.
"The annual Jianglin Huiwu is coming again, and the city lord thanks you for your contributions to the prosperity of my Jianglin! Especially my young talents in Jianglin, you are the future of Jianglin! And this Jianglin Huiwu will be your ladder to glory!"
Duanmulei stood in front of the first seat, and his voice resounded throughout the square.
And after he finished speaking, he slapped his palm, and suddenly more than a dozen beautiful maids walked up holding wooden plates: "The top ten Jiang Lin will be rewarded with a bottle of Resurrection Pill and a set of human-level martial arts this time!"
Wow!
Hearing this, all the warriors in the field became noisy. In the previous martial arts, the top ten were rewarded with at most one set of martial arts.
And now, not only is the human-level martial arts rewarded, but there is also a bottle of Resurrection Pill, which makes many participating martial artists ecstatic.
Rejuvenation Pill, that is an excellent elixir to restore spiritual power. Especially for martial artists, who hovering on the edge of life and death all year round, a recovering elixir that quickly recovers spiritual power is likely to save their lives.
And not to mention human-level martial arts, that is what the body refining realm martial artists need the most. Every time you practice an additional set of martial arts, you will have an extra means to save your life.
Seeing that the emotions of many warriors were all mobilized, Duanmu Lei smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth:
"The first place in Jiang Lin's martial arts this time will be rewarded with a spiritual artifact Qiushui Sword, a bottle of human-level elixir Ning Yuan Dan, and a set of human-level high-level martial arts Qingfeng Sword Technique!
As he spoke, Duanmu Lei removed the red cloth from the first three wooden plates, revealing a long sword, a bottle of elixir, and a set of martial arts books.
Looking at these three treasures, every young man in the field was breathing heavily and his face was hot. This is a spiritual weapon and a human-level elixir, as well as a human-level high-level martial art, each of which is an unattainable treasure for a martial artist in a small city like Jiang Lin.
No matter who it is, as long as they obtain any of these treasures, their strength will more than double immediately.
Not only the young people, but even some of the strong men of the older generation of the three major families were also greedy, and these three treasures were also of great effect to a strong person like them who had stepped into the Nine Transformations.
"These treasures are mine!" Huo Fan was sitting in the crowd of the Huo family at the moment, his eyes were greedy.
Once he obtains these treasures, his strength will definitely more than double again, and when the time comes, he will definitely be able to kill Ye Nan and avenge his family's shame!
Not only him, Ye Tianwu and Ling Wushu were also fanatical, their eyes were full of confidence, and they were obviously bound to win the first place.
Seeing the fanatical mood of everyone, Duanmu Lei waved his hand to an old man next to him: "Let's start!"
The old man bowed down and agreed, then walked to the front of the stage and shouted:
"The martial arts officially began, the first round of forty into twenty, the second round of twenty into ten, the third round of ten into five, the fourth round of five-person melee, and the final person who remained on the field was the first place in this year's martial arts!
"In the first round, the eastern battle of the Huo family Huo Mo against the Ling family Ling Yuan, the west battle of the Ling family Ling Chang against the Ye family Ye Ming, the northern battle of the Ye family Ye Tianhuo against the scattered Pei Hai, the southern battle of the Taiwanese scattered Xiu Zhan Yongguo against the Huo family Huo Qing!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a young man's figure flickered and quickly rushed to the stage.
At this moment, the five battle platforms have occupied four of them, leaving only the widest and towering battle platform in the middle, which can only be climbed by those who will fight the final battle!
The eight young men had a surging breath on their bodies, holding their breath and staring at each other coldly.
"The rules of the battle are the same as usual, you are not allowed to use spiritual weapons, and you are not allowed to take the pill of Surge Cultivation. One of the two sides conceded defeat and the game was immediately stopped. If no one throws in the towel, it will be over until one person falls. In addition, once you come to power, life and death are your destiny!"
The old man said, and then snorted coldly: "Begin!"
As the words fell, the eight young men moved in an instant, and one by one their swords were unsheathed, attacking each other fiercely.
The swords on the battle platform roared in unison, and everyone was a cultivator who refined the body above the eighth level, and the battle was very fierce at this moment. The sword light and sword shadow are dazzling.
However, for this kind of high-level martial artist who refines the body, the victory or defeat is only a thought, and the battle is going fast at this moment, and it will be over in less than a stick of incense.
The faces of the four young men who won the victory were excited, and after they stepped down, eight more young men rushed to the stage.
Watching the people on the field fighting bloodily, many warriors off the field were also extremely excited. A battle of a strong man of this scale is rarely seen on weekdays, but at this moment, it is a feast for the eyes of many warriors.
And Ye Nan, who was incarnated as a guard, did not have the slightest interest in the battle on the field, and at this moment, his eyes kept sweeping over the place where the three major families were.
"Huh, it seems to be one less!"
Suddenly, when his gaze swept over the Ye family, his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.
Hearing his words, Duanmu Min'er, who was in front of him, glanced at it slightly, and immediately understood what he meant:
"Lan Changshan of the Lan family was seriously injured before, and after Ye Ling came out of the Demon Valley, she returned to the Sword Casting Gate with her! But at that time, she must have thought that you had died in the Demon Valley, if she saw you alive in the future, I don't know what Lu Dao's expression would be!"
Duanmu Min'er sighed slightly in her heart, if Ye Ling knew that Ye Nan not only did not die, but killed his younger brother, I am afraid that he would go crazy!
"I see!" Ye Nan's eyes were slightly cold, and then he understood why he didn't see him when he killed Ye Tianzhao, Ye Zhanyun and others.
"Lan Changshan?" A trace of hideous color flashed on Ye Nan's face, Lan Changshan was one of the murderers who killed Lin Lao, and Ye Nan naturally resented him.
Time flies, and the warriors on the four battle platforms take turns to fight.
Among them, Ye Tianwu, Huo Fan and Ling Wushu were the most brilliant, and they all defeated their opponents with one move and won the victory.
Especially Huo Fan, his heart was already full of anger, and at this moment, with just one sword, he split a loose cultivator opponent in half.
This was also the first time that someone had died on the battle platform, and the loose cultivator was killed in Huo Fan's hands before he could even admit defeat.
Unknowingly, it has reached the last battle of the first round, but the eight people who came to the stage this time are one more girl.
There are extremely few female warriors in Jiang Lincheng, most of them are children of the three major families, but this girl is a loose cultivator.
Seeing this girl, Ye Nan in the stands was slightly stunned.
"Xiaojing?"
The girl on the platform was none other than Li Xiaojing, but her cultivation had been promoted to the eightfold body refining level.
