Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Despicable Duo
In the first few months, the city of Kyoto is bustling with warriors from all over the world who have qualified for the national preliminary tournament and enter the castle every day, and secondly, those who want to learn from the guò competition. There are also all kinds of businessmen who want to take this opportunity to make a small fortune!
As a result, Kyoto became increasingly crowded, and all kinds of fights inevitably broke out everywhere. Fortunately, these outsiders finally realized that this was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the imperial city. can still control their own temper, and it didn't have much consequence, at most, they just put down a few cruel words, and they made an appointment to win or lose in the arena!
And Ling Xiao's moisturizing silent plan is also unfolding, the goal is to clean up the enemy's peripheral masters, and the means are all used, there is only one requirement, never exposed!
Kyoto Castle Tong judged that Cao Youdao had a headache recently! Because it would not be long before a vicious death incident would occur in Kyoto City, and it would seem that the dead were all martial artists, and it should have a lot to do with the upcoming pre-palace martial arts primary!
But this is not the main thing, the most headache for Cao Youdao is that these people all died in accidents, just like Lord Yama suddenly got epilepsy, and he had to have a few convulsions from time to time, but every time he had convulsions, someone would always die inexplicably!
There are those who have been gently patted and die of old diseases, some who fall down and drown in their own water tanks, some who die of wind on the horse, some who suddenly go crazy in broad daylight, and some who even die of falling asleep!
Looking at the seventeen corpses neatly placed in the autopsy room, Cao Youdao rubbed his temples with his hands again, trying to alleviate the headache that had been painful for a day! Thinking about something in his eyes, it seemed that something like this had happened a long time ago! That was the story that his grandfather, who had died a long time ago, told him!
That was the method used by the group of strange people under his command when the emperor was taking the throne to eradicate the opponent's minions! Could it be that it was about to start again? Thinking of the old emperor's deteriorating physical condition, the battle between the crown prince and the third prince that almost tore his face, Cao Youdao gasped, and he couldn't care about the even more serious headache at all!
The next day, a small news spread in Kyoto that Cao Youdao had become ill from hard work, fell ill in his post, and resigned to return to his hometown to recuperate!
But unfortunately, it was Liu Jincai, the newly appointed general judge, who did not have much ability, but his father was the backbone of the three princes and the first line of the family to get this opportunity. I thought I could take advantage of the situation to make money, but who knows, I only know that it is a hot potato when I get it!
Fortunately, this Liu Jincai's father is powerful enough, and his backer is hard enough, what kind of imperial history, supervision history, although he knew that the newly baked Liu Tong's judgment insisted on suppressing and concealing the matter and not reporting it, but he didn't dare to say anything more for the sake of the face of the third prince!
By mistake, the turmoil within the scope of the martial artist this time was not discovered by the three princes and the fake queen!
Ling Xiao and Liu Dashao have a lot of blood on their hands in the past few days, but Ling Xiao doesn't care because of revenge, and Liu Dashao has been in a high position for a long time and doesn't care about the death of these people!
As these little minions were almost cleaned up, the interest of the two gradually turned to those so-called masters with a little strength!
At this time, the nationwide preliminary competition has also begun! There are 400 contestants representing all over the country, of whom 340 are deputies from all over the country, and 60 are heroes in the army! All of them are good players selected from one out of a hundred miles and one out of a thousand!
In order to avoid bias, the rules of the competition are round-robin, and the final wins are calculated according to their respective wins, and the top ten will be determined and then enter the stage of martial arts in front of the palace!
In terms of strength, Ling Xiao can be sure to enter the top 30 and compete for the top 10! But if Ling Xiao is given a chance to attack first, there are really few people who can block his strong bow and fast arrows! And Liu Dashao can enter the top 100 is already the limit!
After hearing the news that the rules had changed, the two discussed countermeasures in the backyard of the Arrow Sect, and finally let the two of them really come up with a "despicable" idea! That is to take advantage of the situation! Liu Dashao borrowed Ling Xiao's momentum, and Ling Xiao borrowed the prince's momentum!
First of all, Liu Dashao colluded with his father to encourage the prince to meet with Ling Xiao in person at the National Contestant Reporting Conference, giving all the contestants a signal that Ling Xiao is the representative of the prince!
After that, the two of them visited the contestants all the way to the past, clearly asking the other party to make way for Liu Dashao in the competition! The one who agrees is easy to say, and the one who disagrees meets Ling Xiao in the competition, it is directly an arrow to shoot over! And because of the prince's performance, these people are a little restrained when they meet Ling Xiao, which gives Ling Xiao a chance to hit with one blow!
Things are developing towards the plan of the two, in addition to fighting with Liu Dashao at the beginning, some people were ruthless, and later it was actually allowed this Liu Dashao to easily break into the top ten of the temporary rankings! The three princes and the fake queen took it for granted that this Liu Dashao must be the candidate pushed out by the prince's family!
Ling Xiao, on the other hand, conceded defeat after a slight play after encountering a few hard hands, and steadily maintained the top 20 position, ready to enter the top 10 in the final stage!
At this delicate moment, the candidates of the three princes and the fake queen gradually surfaced.
Among them, the candidate for the Three Princes is a master who has already stepped into the "royal realm" in half a step, and he has always killed the enemy with one blow in the competition, and he will never drag the mud and water! Later, his opponent always abstained before the game, thus maintaining a record of complete victory!
And the candidate of the fake queen series is a master who has never appeared in front of people, no matter who can not see the depth of this person, just stand in front of the opponent in the fight, shake the paper fan gently, the opponent is as if he has seen the most feared thing in this life and dies!
Only Ling Xiao, who had a slight contact with illusions, knew that most of what this person used was that weird illusion! And this person's record was also a complete victory!
With the addition of these two people, this competition has completely changed its taste, and it is no longer like the previous few times, everyone is mainly based on competition, one point is superior, and the point is up to the end. Instead, it turned into a brutal killing of your life and death!
In particular, the martial artists who played against these two men would all die on the spot unless they abstained before the game! This also caused more and more people to withdraw from the game. In the end, in addition to the dead and those who quit, there were less than 150 people left who had enough confidence in themselves and continued to participate in the competition!
It was under such circumstances that on this day, Ling Xiao encountered the first crisis in this competition, and met the candidate for the third prince!
Afterwards, Ling Xiao thought that the conversation between him and that brother was definitely a classic that would only be reproduced by the resurrection of the ancient dragon!
"I've finally met you!" the guy known as the human slaughter said to Ling Xiao gloomily.
Ling Xiao wasn't afraid of this person, "I don't want to meet you so early!
"Impossible, we must distinguish the superior today!"
Ling Xiao, who didn't want to reveal his strength, frowned, "Then I'll admit defeat!"
"But what I want is your life!" said Ren Tu, still unrelentingly.
Without speculation, Ren Tu seized the opportunity to start attacking Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao was also ready to bend his bow and arrows!
This human slaughter is obviously a power-type opponent, every blow is extremely powerful, I think his spirit must be a yellow earth spirit who has long been good at strength! Then there will be his uniqueness in defense! Then use the endless strike!
Ling Xiao, who had made up his mind, shot a few arrows only to realize that this human slaughter was indeed quite powerful, and the only weakness was that his speed was not very fast, of course, it was only relative to his inhuman attack. His speed was only slightly slower than Ling Xiao's!
It's just that the arrow shot by Ling Xiao has no effect on this person! Not only can't it be shot into the opponent's body, but the powerful impact attached to the arrow seems to have lost its due effect, and it can't stop the impact of this person, let alone force him to change direction!
For the first time, Ling Xiao's Endless Strike was useless, because the opponent didn't react to his attack at all, and didn't care about his attack!
Since the Endless Strike could not make a contribution, Ling Xiao decisively roamed the whole field, dodging the opponent's attack with a slightly faster speed, but in his heart he was thinking about the way to win!
Knock! Knock! Knock, the crazy man Tu stepped on the ground with all his strength, and caught up with Ling Xiao's figure with the speed brought by the powerful recoil force, and punched him without thinking!
When Ling Xiao dodged, he listened to the cold fist behind him, and quickly dodged, but was swept by that iron fist!
With just one blow, Ling Xiao felt a tearing pain in his five organs, presumably he was injured!
Hit someone a hundred times, but it had no effect, and when someone hit someone, he was almost seriously injured! This person really has some ability!
Ling Xiao wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, but he had a good plan to break the enemy in his heart, and it depended on whether the other party would be fooled!
The sound of heavy footsteps floated on the arena, and the situation seemed to be no different from just now, the arena made of big bluestone was already broken everywhere, and Ling Xiao would be swept away by this butcher from time to time, so he had to roll away from the opponent's attack!
The clothes are already flawed everywhere, and there is a lot of white ash, but Ling Xiao's eyes are getting brighter and brighter!
Ling Xiao had a powerful pill to protect himself, and in essence, he didn't suffer much damage, but he took advantage of the opportunity to roll the ground but inserted a wind feather arrow arrow upwards on the field, and the position he chose was all a small pit broken by the man's butcher, only the arrow was exposed, and he couldn't find it at all if he didn't look closely!
The entire forty-six arrows have filled the space behind him, except for the retreat left for himself, basically covering half of the field, just waiting for this person to slaughter himself to step on!
It turned out that Ling Xiaotong Guò Liu Wenyuan learned that this kind of defensive technique had a weakness, that is, when it was used, it was necessary to drum up the spiritual power of the whole body to cover the entire body, and once it broke one point, it would affect the whole body. Unless it reaches the "Zun Realm", its protective qi will gather and not disperse, and protect itself from time to time!
And in order to chase himself, this person Tu used considerable strength in almost every step out, in order to obtain greater recoil force on the ground, as long as he stepped on the arrow, that was his chance!
Ling Xiao prepared the String Twisting Technique and the Wind Feather Arrow, and retreated towards the path, waiting for this person to enter the trap!
It turns out that the limbs are well-developed, and the mind has a great chance that it will be relatively simple, this person Tu did not notice anything wrong, and stepped towards an arrow with a fearless spirit as he did just now!
The quality of the Wind Feather Arrow produced by Master Water is not bad, just as the people are stepping on it, the yellow earth spiritual power around that body ripples, and it shatters and dissipates with a desolate shout!
At this moment, Ling Xiao's wind feather arrow flashed away, completely penetrating the head of Brother Tu, and even dragged his body on the ground for a few meters before he landed with all his strength. And the human slaughter is completely gone!
At this point, the hope of the three princes has been wiped out by Ling Xiao!
