Chapter 231: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
The rest of the second day was a little uneventful compared to the surprise matchup in District 49. The children of various families did their best, but there was no dark horse like the boy.
Most of the results were expected. After the failure of the Luancheng Jiang family in Jizong Chiya, two more people were eliminated, and only one person passed the test in the end. From this, people can't help but think that one of the four major families who once dominated the country of Wuyue seems to have come to a decline.
Jiang Lao watched the game, and only sighed in his heart. Remembering that in the family competition he participated in when he was young, four members of their Jiang family rushed into the ranks of the top 100 in the country! Today's Wuyue Kingdom is no longer the era of sticking to dominance!" Wang Zhutou comforted: "Old Jiang, don't sigh there. Now that many families in the Wuyue Kingdom are intermarrying with foreign countries, the elites of the clan can go to the big countries to experience and experience, and their overall strength will naturally improve a lot. The Jiang family is so quiet and has been guarding Luancheng. It's good that we can still have today's scene!" Zhou Ji, the fisherman, said: "Wang Zhutou, what are you talking about! What's wrong with our Luancheng? If Jiang Lao hadn't traveled abroad for many years and stayed at home to cultivate a few juniors, he would definitely not be worse than others!" Jiang Lao smiled: "You two don't quarrel. Natural selection, this is all fate. If you have good conditions, you must have good seedlings! Look at Brother Yang and that little girl, they can have such strength at a young age, and this is probably not an achievement that anyone can achieve by going abroad to experience it!" Zhou Ji scratched his head and smiled: "Old Jiang, what you said is a special case, a strange guy like the two of them. That's not going to be one in 10,000 years!" Wang Zhutou continued: "Now that both of them are in the Yang family, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Zhou Ji frowned and said, "Wang Zhutou, you are here again." Of course, this is a blessing! How can it be a disaster?" Jiang Lao shook his head, looked at the Yang family stands opposite, and sighed: "What Wang Zhutou said is right. This year's tournament always gives me a strange feeling. Maybe something is about to happen!"
Compared with the Jiang family, the Yang family can be said to have been out of the limelight in this year's family competition. The martial artists who participated in the competition, except for Yang Guangsheng, who was eliminated by his own little Xuannu, all advanced to the top 100 as the first in the region. This general's family, which has been silent for decades, finally let the Chinese people see his tough side.
Yang Ye couldn't stop nodding his head in the stands, feeling extremely pleased with the appearance of his grandchildren. Especially his most beloved baby grandson Yang Rui, it really made him raise his eyebrows. Yang Ye said happily in his heart: "No matter what the game behind Rui'er is, this battle has allowed him to completely clear his grievances for the past twelve years. Plus the recognition he received in terms of runes. Presumably, no one in the family will say it anymore. Those twelve years of key cultivation are a waste of resources!" Thinking of this, the stuffiness that had accumulated in my heart for many years finally disappeared, and he laughed and said: "Our Yang family's children and grandchildren are all good!" and patted Yang Guangsheng on the shoulder and said: "Guangsheng, your retreat from the difficulties also makes grandpa look at you with admiration! Such a resourceful and open-minded. It is indispensable for future marches and wars. You have to cherish the insights you have gained in this actual battle!" Yang Guangsheng smiled embarrassedly: "Yes." Grandpa!" Yang Ping also smiled and said, "Your grandfather is right! With your strength, it should be within the top 100." It's just that I was a little unlucky, and I was assigned to a group with the little witch......" Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by the little girl with sharp ears over there. immediately retracted the conversation. Next to him, Lu Neng smiled and said: "Second master, what you say is wrong! If in normal times, how can Guangsheng young man have a chance to face such a strong enemy? And even if you encounter it on the battlefield, the other party will not give you time to think." The experience of this battle is rare!" Yang Ping nodded with a smile and said, "That's, that's." Thinking about it, he said: "It was Rui'er who really surprised me! I didn't expect him to be able to enter the top 100 with the strength of the Qi Gathering Realm! Our Yang family is really going to rise this time!"
In the next three days of the 100-strong battle, due to the addition of the Zhou and Wu families, as well as the Jing clan and the royal family, the game became more intense and exciting. Xiao Xuannu still swept the top teams in the same group with a strong momentum at the beginning, and eliminated the two masters of the Yuan Dan Realm of the royal family at one time. Yang Lan narrowly defeated a martial artist from the Zhou family in the same group and barely entered the top ten.
And Yang Rui was once again assigned to the group of death, and he had to compete with the masters of Zhou, Wu and the Jing clan for the place to enter the top ten. As for why there is such an arrangement, no one can understand. It's just that the battle situation of that group shocked the audience again! The boy became more and more courageous after letting go of the gravitational enchantment, defeating an opponent who challenged him. And the weapons in the hands of those people were all divided into two without exception! This could not but make everyone marvel at the strange swordsmanship of this young man. Regardless of the difference in cultivation, even if they fight between peers, no one can destroy the opponent's weapon lightly. But people thought about it and felt relieved, because even the artifact Kui Niu Sledgehammer had been cut into three sections, not to mention other ordinary level weapons?
At the same time, the closer the time got to the end of the preliminaries, the more anxious the members of the Iron Fist and Mobei Mercenary Regiment who blended into the crowd became. Because after three days of secret inspection, they didn't find a single suspicious character in the audience. I don't know if Yang Tie's news is inaccurate, or if all those meticulous workers who tried to disrupt the competition have all disappeared from the world? In the stands, Li Man, Du Siniang, Xiao Long, and Qiu Sihai walked together. Li Man looked at the cheering appearance in the audience and said: "Hey, I haven't found any trace after looking for so long, are those thieves not staying in this martial arts dojo!" Siniang said: "Don't take it lightly, if you can't find it, you have to look for it!" I believe that Yang Shuai's news will not be wrong!" Qiu Sihai spread his hands and said: "But in the past three days, the brothers didn't even care about the competition, and almost turned over all the places in this martial arts dojo, but they still didn't gain anything." Xiao Long said thoughtfully: "No, it's not all places. There are also exclusive stands for the royal family and the four major families that have not been checked!"
Siniang said: "Do you suspect that someone in the four major families is committing adultery with Hachiguo?" Xiao Long nodded and said, "Well, now it seems that there is only such a possibility." And, to be exact, I'm suspicious of the samurai. Qiu Sihai exclaimed: "The martial family, the powerful and powerful martial family, that family, even if King Lu sees it, needs to give three points." How to check?Is there any basis for Fifth Brother Long's suspicion of the Martial Family?" Xiao Long sighed and said, "You don't know, the foreign aid invited by the Martial Family this time is none other than Ma Yun, the adopted son of the former president of the Mobei Chamber of Commerce. Three years ago, the shopkeeper secretly collaborated with the enemy by Yang Shuai, and in desperation, he died violently at the Shuangyue Inn in Huangsha Town. After that, Jack Ma's whereabouts are unknown. Now it's suspicious to suddenly appear in a big game. After a pause, he said: "I just watched one of his games, and his opponent was tortured and almost died. The current Jack Ma is very different from the Jack Ma I knew before. He used to be docile and shy, and kind-hearted, but now he can only be described as ruthless. Not seen for three years. His strength had soared from the early stage of the original medicine realm to the Yuan Dan realm. If it is said that he has no power behind him. I'm afraid it's unlikely. ”
Li Man was shocked when he heard this: "Another Yuan Dan realm? The young people now are really amazing! We have only just touched this realm after cultivating for twenty or thirty years. How did they cultivate at such a young age?" Qiu Sihai said: "I think if it weren't for his super high talent, it must have something to do with the soaring strength of the Hachi Kingdom in recent years!" Siniang said: "You mean, Ma Yun is the same as the national teacher of the Hachi Kingdom, Cha Brownba. Have you taken some pills to improve your cultivation?" Qiu Sihai nodded and said, "Hmm. That's the Dragon Tiger Yi Tendon Qi Pill. I think I used to take it when I was in the Black Hawk Bandits. It does have the effect of rapidly improving cultivation. However, this medicine contains a huge poison, and it is necessary to take the antidote regularly to survive. In the city of the concubine king, if it weren't for Brother Yang to detoxify me. I'm probably already rotten!" Li Man said: "In this way, that martial artist is indeed suspicious!" Xiao Long nodded and said, "Well, without further ado, I'll go and discuss this matter with Qi Zhi." Continue to observe the crowd and be careful not to miss the slightest clue!" the men dispersed and went their separate ways.
When the sun was about to set on the third day of the preliminaries, the battle on the ten high platforms in the martial arts arena was finally over. The Zhou and Wu families and the Jing clan failed because they tried to stop the Yang family, and only accounted for four seats in the top ten: Zhou Qiao, Wu Ling'er, Ma Yun and Jing Shao. Jiang Feng of the Jiang family lived up to expectations and single-handedly fought to the end. The royal family has Princess Lingyi and the weaker Gong Qing'er shortlisted. And the Yang family directly won three places, which can be described as a remarkable achievement!
The moon is bright in the sky, and thousands of lights are on. At night, the capital of Wuyue is very lively, and all kinds of taverns and inns and snack shops are crowded with people. People were arguing and shouting, and they were all arguing about the stories they had seen with their own eyes and heard from the streets and alleys. Those who could not enter the martial arts arena to watch the battle listened with relish, and from time to time let out exclamations of those dangerous episodes.
In the attic of a tavern opened by the Jing clan, there were a few people around the dinner table discussing something, and it was Jing Shao who was the host! I only heard Jing Shao respectfully say to the mysterious man in a black cloak beside him: "Supervisor, it is my responsibility to misestimate Yang Rui's strength, but tomorrow's final is still our decision." At that time, arrange for a few members of their Yang family to play a round by themselves first, and we just need to wait for work. I don't believe that Yang Rui can win against me and Ma Yun, maybe he won't even be able to pass the Zhou Bridge level. The superintendent said: "Don't underestimate the enemy! I think this Yang Rui is not simple, it is best to get rid of it as soon as possible! If he is allowed to participate in the finals tomorrow, it may affect the progress of the entire plan." Zhong Ziqi sneered and said, "Didn't the Inspector say that he would let it go?" Why did he say that he would get rid of it?" The Inspector suddenly turned his head to look at Zhong Ziqi, and said slightly angrily: "You dare to question the Inspector's order? For getting rid of the kid from the Yang family, I have always raised my hands in favor. The Inspector snorted coldly and said, "In this way, I will give you a chance to take its head before tomorrow morning!" Zhong Ziqi was just about to receive the order, but was stopped by Na Wu Feng and said: "Now that the final is about to happen, if there is a murder tonight, the vigilance in the martial arts dojo will definitely be strengthened tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to the task!"
"Hahaha! There's no need to worry about this!" Na Jing Shao said suddenly: "It's best to strengthen your vigilance!" The martial seniors don't know, General Na Tudan is already my man, and now the forbidden army in charge of guarding the martial arts dojo is all his subordinates. The rest of the disobedient ones had already been sent to the Haiyuan Pavilion. As long as Ma Yun can prevent the princess from entering the finals, then tomorrow's plan will be foolproof!" Wu Feng clapped his hands and smiled: "This is very good!
Hearing this, the Inspector nodded, his sharp eyes still looked at Zhong Ziqi and said, "Then you will kill Yang Rui tonight!" When the time comes, the competition will rule him to abstain. Zhong Ziqi gave up his hand, his body flashed, and he instantly floated out of the window.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Yang family, it was a scene of joy. The whole Yang family was rejoicing in the achievements they had achieved during the day. Feast on the neighbors. And Yang Rui, who was not used to being praised by everyone, slipped away to a secluded eaves alone, looked up at the moon, and poured himself a drink. I only feel that this month, the light is clear, the jade is deep, it is really a round of high light, and the earth is distinct. The young man saw the moon and thought about people, and said casually: "Qionglou Yuyu is full of clear light, and the mountains and rivers are very complete. Wanli is the same at this time, and I don't know where the jade people sleep. ”
Just thinking about it, he felt a chill, and a cold light had been on his neck at some point! After all, I don't know how the young man is lucky, and listen to the next decomposition. (To be continued......)
