The drums sounded, and the clouds in the sky were scattered with the rumbling sound.

With the sound of heavy drums like raindrops, several people slowly took the stage with sacrificial objects in their hands.

These people are all highly respected people elected by everyone in the capital.

It is not appointed by officials, nor is it appointed by the imperial court, it is purely elected by the people, and basically the people who take the stage are different every year.

Looking at the three old men, holding the sacrificial objects, they slowly stepped onto the stage, and all of them put their right hands on their chests and prayed sincerely.

Whether you understand the rules or not, whether you understand the meaning of the stage sacrifice or not, when you see everyone doing this, you will naturally follow along.

In the crowd, Emperor Qin Shang was dressed in plain robes, looked at this scene with a smile, and said, "Folk sacrifices are different from royal sacrifices. Why are these three people on stage, is there any point?"

Next to him, Prime Minister Lu Cheng bowed and said: "These three people are all people who have popularity in the city. Or educate countless people, but do not charge a penny. Or in times of crisis, stand up and fight evil alone. In short, they are all noble gentlemen with moral character, and their cultivation is not necessarily very high, but the state of mind must be beyond the ordinary. Folks believe that only this kind of person who sacrifices to heaven and earth is the respect for heaven and earth. ”

Emperor Qin Shang nodded and said with a smile: "This approach is very good. That's the Donghua swordsman Lu Fan, right? ”

Emperor Qin Shang's gaze looked at Lu Fan in the carriage.

After carefully looking up and down, Emperor Qin Shang nodded with satisfaction: "Zheng Zheng is iron-clad, mighty and unyielding, and he is a good martial artist." ”

Prime Minister Lu Cheng said softly on the side: "Your Majesty can take a look at it and assert that he is a good martial artist." ”

Emperor Qin Shang smiled and said, "Some people, just one glance is enough. And some people can't understand it for a lifetime!"

Prime Minister Lu Cheng listened to Emperor Qin Shang's words, nodded slightly, and said secretly: "Extremely! ”

After the time of a stick of incense, the stage finally ended.

After the sacrificial things are placed, the wine is sprinkled and sacrificed to the heavens and the earth, the ceremony is completed, and the drums are collected.

At this time, the three of them did not get off the high platform as before.

I saw the old man in the center walking out slowly, and said loudly: "Today, there are not only sacrifices. There is also a battle on stage, please Zhang Guang, the head of the Eight Masters of the Prince's Mansion, and Lu Fan, the swordsman of Donghua, take the stage!"

The crowd shouted loudly, they had been waiting for this battle for a long time.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to Zhang Guang: "Go ahead." Win crisply. ”

Zhang Guang jumped down from mid-air and landed directly on the high platform, and the audience cheered when he landed.

The name of Zhang Guang resounded in the sky.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Qin Shang laughed and said, "This kind of scene is really difficult to see in the court!"

Prime Minister Lu Cheng said with a smile: "The rules in the palace are strict, so naturally I can't see such a lively scene." ”

Slowly, Lu Fan also walked towards the high platform, he did not choose to fly up arrogantly, but walked up calmly step by step.

As I walked, I adjusted my state.

He walked slowly, but steadily. Zhang Guang stood on the high platform, looked at him with indifferent eyes, and waited for Lu Fan to come to the stage.

In the crowd, Tian Qingyang and the others stood in turn.

And behind Tian Qingyang, there is a dancing ethereal spirit with a veil.

Her gaze fell on Lu Fan's body, and she couldn't tell whether she was excited or happy, and the light was shining.

Tian Qingyang turned his head from time to time and looked at the dancing ethereal.

But Wu Ethereal didn't look at him at all, just looked at Lu Fan's back.

On the other side, in the crowd of people, several noble sons were chatting while munching melon seeds.

Among them, Han Xiong, Han Yuanning and others are impressively listed.

"Han Yuanning, the woman behind Tian Qingyang is what you like, and you can't see it. But I can feel that it is indeed a beauty, your vision can! I just don't know, he has slept with Qingyang that day for a few nights. ”

A man with a Chinese character face and thick eyebrows and big eyes laughed.

Han Yuanning said with a frosty face: "Liu Zhen, pay attention to me when you speak." Miss Wu is such a beautiful lady, how can you slander?"

Liu Zhen raised his hands and said, "Aren't I just joking?" What are you doing so seriously, what's wrong, when did the Han family not even be able to make a joke. Han madman, look at you like that, it's like an artillery battle, whoever says more, you can blow it up. You said it wasn't Shi Chen. ”

Another man next to him who looked more wooden chuckled and said, "I don't understand this, you talk." I'm here to see how strong Zhang Guang is now. Unexpectedly, the two people from the Tantai family and the Shui family also came. Counting us, there are six people from the ten major families. ”

Liu Zhen said: "Seven." The two on top of their heads don't count. ”

Shi Chen sighed and said, "That's right. The same for the two. These two people have a really big face, so many people have come to see them compete. ”

Han Yuanning glanced up and said, "This kind of one-sided death match, I don't have any desire to see it at all." Look at it. I'll go back first!"

With that, Han Yuanning walked out.

But Liu Zhen grabbed him and said, "Crazy Han, don't go." Did you see your sweetheart with Tian Qingyang, didn't you feel good in your heart? Listening to my brother's words, I forgot about that woman. Based on my years of experience in looking at women, that woman is no longer a virgin. What do you care?"

Han Yuanning grabbed Liu Zhen's collar and shouted, "What did you say?

Liu Zhen took a bite of melon seed skin and sprayed Han Yuanning in the face.

"You dead lunatic, let go. I'll be honest with you, you still don't believe it. ”

Shi Chen hurriedly pulled the two apart, looked at Han Yuanning and said, "Crazy Han, I advise you." This kind of thing, you still listen to Liu Zhen, he changed more women than you changed pants. In the entire capital, it is estimated that no one understands this better than him, and he said that if he is not a virgin, then it must not be. ”

Han Yuanning said coldly: "But I've never touched her." ”

Liu Zhen said: "It's not you who touched it, it's someone else's touch." Otherwise, why doesn't she follow you, it's just that you are slow. It's useless for you to hold me. If you have the ability, you will find Tianqingyang to go desperately. ”

Han Yuanning let go of his hand and looked at Tian Qingyang with a fire-breathing gaze, as if he wanted to use his eyes to shatter Tian Qingyang's corpse.

Liu Zhen tidied up his clothes, patted Han Yuanning's shoulder again, and said, "Listen to my brother, if you want to kill him, now is not a good time, don't be impulsive." ”

"When is the right time then?"

Han Yuanning gritted his teeth and said.

Liu Zhen smiled and said: "When you were selected, it didn't matter if you lived or died, did you forget?"

Han Yuanning nodded heavily.

Tian Qingyang seemed to sense something, and looked left and right.

Frowning, Tian Qingyang said softly, "How do I feel that there is a murderous aura against me." ”

Turning his head, Tian Qingyang looked at the focused Wu Ethereal, and suddenly a trace of evil thought rose in his heart, and he slowly stretched out his hand, he wanted to touch her hand while Wu Ethereal was not paying attention.

But before he could touch Dance Ethereal's hand, Dance Ethereal suddenly withdrew his gaze.

Frowning, Wu Ethereal looked at Tian Qingyang's outstretched hand and said, "Tiangongzi, what are you doing, do you want to secretly scare me." I never thought that Tiangongzi would be this kind of person. ”

Tian Qingyang retracted his hand awkwardly and said, "You misunderstood, Miss Wu." How could I be so light on you. Without Miss Mai's consent, I won't even touch a single hair of yours. ”

Wu Ethereal smiled: "That's good." I like a righteous gentleman like Tiangongzi the most. People don't understand anything, so don't bully me. ”

Tian Qingyang said again and again: "No, no, absolutely not." ”

Turning his head, Tian Qingyang sighed softly: "What a woman who is clear and jade! Looking at her frightened appearance, I'm afraid she hasn't even touched a man's hand." ”

Wu Ethereal looked up at Lu Fan again, her lips moved slightly, but she was yearning for Lu Fan's voice on the high platform.

Lu Fan, who was walking up, suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears.

"Lu Fan, if you win, I'll come over to accompany you!"

Lu Fan's heart moved, he turned his head and swept down, and at a glance he saw the ethereal figure of the dancer.

With a slight smile, Lu Fan immediately quickened his pace and stepped onto the high platform!

The bluestone paved the ground, and the wind whistled, blowing Lu Fan's clothes and hunting.

On the high platform, Zhang Guang stood with his sword in his hand, looked at Lu Fan and said coldly: "If I were you, I wouldn't be here today." ”

Lu Fan calmly pulled out his bladeless heavy sword, slowly inserted it beside him, and chuckled: "Why?"

Zhang Guangdao: "I know that I will die, I am just a fool." ”

Lu Fan smiled indifferently: "Are you so sure?"

Zhang Guangdao: "Are you sure?" Try it and you'll find out. Lu Fan, today you have no bones left, so as to sue the spirits of my colleagues in the sky!"

Suddenly, the long sword in Zhang Guang's hand was unsheathed, and the strength on his body suddenly rushed out.

Countless runes lit up from his body, and the scales all over his body were dazzling with light, and the momentum was monstrous and majestic.

A dragon roared in the sky, and the dragon shadow appeared behind him.

Lu Fan also unfolded his qi in an instant, the scale dragon armor covered his body, and the bladeless heavy sword dao domain opened.

As he ascended, the bladeless heavy sword began to tremble violently.

The momentum of the two of them climbed to the peak in an instant, and Zhang Guang relied on the runes he had accumulated on his body for many years.

And when Lu Fan walked up slowly, he accumulated his momentum step by step, until this moment, he suddenly exploded.

"Kill!"

The two of them shot at the same time, and there was a thunderclap on the ground.

Rumble!

The figure disappeared in an instant, and when it reappeared, it was already in the middle of the high platform, and a long sword and a heavy sword collided together.

The energy of countless explosions spread!
