Chapter 331: The Ten Strongest Men (2)
The ring competition lasted until the fourth day, and the five hundred people had been continuously eliminated, and there were only 31 people left, and Dr. An was eliminated in the last competition, and Jianchen and Mingdong were successfully shortlisted. At the same time, Dugu Peak, Tianmu Ling, and Huang Luan also successfully broke through.
Now, among the thirty-one people who can come here, it can be said that there is no one who is weak, not only is his own strength strong, his combat effectiveness is rich, and all of them have not weak combat skills.
And the three people with the power of the Light Attribute Saint were also exposed early on, and they had always received the attention of Jian Chen, but unfortunately, although the three of them had experienced several battles, the strength of the opponents they faced was not too strong, resulting in the strength of the three of them being exposed to only the tip of the iceberg.
In addition to them, there was another contestant who received special attention from Jian Chen, that was a person named "Jue", who was ranked fourth in the number of arrows collected for the competition, she was a tall woman, wearing a black tights, and her weapon was a dagger, the power of the wind attribute saint, and her speed was very fast.
Judging from the appearance alone, the age of Jue is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, but the actual age is unknown, although she does not have the posture of captivating the country and the city, but she is also born beautiful, quite a bit of posture, the plump figure is enough to be compared with the Tianmu Spirit, the only thing that is a little unacceptable is that the whole body exudes a cold breath, which is cold from the bones, from the coldness of the soul, a pair of eyes always exude a sharp light, and there is a deep killing intent hidden in the depths of the eyesγ
At night, Jian Chen locked himself in the room alone and realized that the top 16 would be decided tomorrow, and then the top 10 masters would be selected from these 16 people, and the last one began to gradually compete for the top 10 rankings.
There are strong people on the Tian Yuan Continent, and there is no shortage of people with outstanding talents, although Jian Chen has only heard of the five masters in the space where the arrows of the competition are collected, but the masters who participate in the mercenary event are definitely more than that, and there is no shortage of low-key people among them, until the end of the knockout tournament, it is gradually exposed, or all the people who know that their strength is dead, and the news is impossible to spread at all.
Now, Jian Chen also found himself a little bit sitting in the well and watching the sky, from tomorrow, every battle in the future will become difficult, this year's mercenary event has come to this point, the weak have all been eliminated, and the remaining thirty-one people are all elites among the elites, and there are even people who are stronger than Dugu Feng.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Jian Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and comprehending the Instant Shadow Thousand Illusions, slowly opened his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a strong wind came out of his hand, opening a wooden chain on the door, and said, "Come in!"
The door opened, and four old men rushed in from the outside, two of them were wearing white robes, with crane hair and childish faces, and a kind look, and the third old man was wearing a black robe, with a shawl and black hair, and his left eye was blind, only his right eye was open, and there was a hideous and terrifying scar on his face, which was obviously from his early injuries. The last old man was wearing a big red robe, with a relatively short stature and dark skin on his face.
Jian Chen looked at the four old men, his face suddenly became serious, the four old men did not hide their breath, with the breath sense, Jian Chen was surprised to find that these four old men were all Sky Saint Masters.
When Jian Chen's eyes were looking at the four old men, the four old men were also looking at Jian Chen, but because Jian Chen's own strength was covered up with the method given to him by the Tianqin Family Master, although the four old men had the strength of the Sky Saint Master, they could not see through the reality of Sword Dust.
"Four old gentlemen, I don't know what is the matter with you?" Jian Chen looked at the four old men calmly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Little brother, are you Jian Chen?" spoke an old man with a childish face, and his tone was very gentle.
"It's down there. Jian Chen said.
"Little Brother Jianchen, I heard that the third young master of the Shi family died in your hands, I don't know if this matter is true. The old man continued, his tone still very calm.
Jian Chen's expression did not move, and said, "I don't know how many old gentlemen are?"
The old man smiled, stretched out his hand to wipe the long beard on his chin, and said, "Outsiders call the four of us the four brothers of the Cai family, and we are currently serving as the four protectors of the Shi family, doing things for the Shi family. Speaking of this, the old man's tone paused, and then continued, "Little brother Jianchen, we have investigated the matter clearly in the past few days, there is no malice in coming this time, I just hope that the little brother can return the Baoshan Seal, the Shi family will never allow the Baoshan Seal to appear in the hands of outsiders, and if you continue to keep him on your body, it will only cause trouble for you." β
"Big brother is right. The one-eyed dragon spoke, and he said expressionlessly: "The Baoshan seal is handed down by the ancestors of the Shi family, and after a special method of sacrifice, only the bloodline of the Shi family can exert the power of the Baoshan seal, and if you put it on your body, it is just a piece of broken iron, and it will not be able to exert its power at all." β
Several old men did not threaten Jian Chen, but adopted a very gentle way, hoping that Jian Chen would take the initiative to hand over the Baoshan Seal.
Jian Chen arched his hand at the four of them and said, "I'm sorry for the four old gentlemen, I don't want to return the Baoshan Seal to the Shi family yet." β
"Little brother, you have to think about it carefully, if you don't return the Baoshan Seal to the Shi family, then the Shi family will definitely not let you go, this thing is just a scourge on you. The same old man said earnestly, as if everything was for Jian Chen's sake.
Jian Chen shook his head decisively, and said without thinking: "This will not bother the four old gentlemen to worry." Jian Chen knew that even if he handed over the Baoshan Seal, the Shi family would definitely not let him go.
"That's it, since the little brother insists on doing this, then we can't help it, let's go!" The four old men didn't say any cruel words like threats, and quickly left here.
After walking out of the inn, the one-eyed old man sighed lightly and said, "Big brother, what do you think about this matter now, this young man named Jianchen will not hand over the Baoshan seal at all." β
"Our responsibility is to protect the young master, the loss of the Baoshan seal has nothing to do with us, let's inform the Shi family of this matter and let the Shi family have an idea. An old man with a childish face said in a flat tone.
"This time, the Shi family not only failed in the plan, but even the third young master died, and the king's soldiers carried with him were also taken away. The old man in a red robe with dark skin laughed and said with a smile, the four of them did not belong to the Shi family in the first place.
"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us, let the Shi family have a headache, we just help the Shi family because of the transaction, but we don't work for them, everyone must remember, don't offend some people we can't afford to offend because of the Shi family, this mercenary event brings together many great forces in the Tian Yuan Continent, many people are not something we can offend, especially those contestants who can persist until now, although they are young, they all have a strong strength behind them, and even some of them are so strong that even the Shi family does not dare to offend, especially the person named Qin Ji, I seem to hear that he seems to be a prince of the Great Qin Kingdom, and he is deeply respected, It is very likely that the next emperor of the Great Qin State, these people are not something we can offend. β
......
The next day, Jian Chen entered the competition venue early, and after the draw, he was directly teleported into the ring through the space gate.
Not long after Jian Chen entered, his opponent also entered the ring through the space gate, but when he saw the person who came, Jian Chen was stunned for a moment, because the opponent turned out to be Dugu Feng.
Dugu Feng was also stunned, with a wry smile on his face, and said, "I didn't expect it to be you." β
Jian Chen also felt quite helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "It can only be said that it is too coincidental." β
Soon, the sound of the start of the game penetrated through the enchantment, but neither Jian Chen nor Dugu Feng had any intention of making a move.
"Jian Chen, I hope you can get the first place. After dropping this sentence, Dugufeng directly admitted defeat.
In this battle, Jian Chen won without a fight.
Out of the ring, Jian Chen continued to stay in the venue to watch the rest of the competition, after the game, sixteen of the thirty-two people successfully advanced, the other three died, two were seriously injured, one of them, only ten rounds, was pierced through the heart by the dagger of the absolute, and died on the spot, even if the mercenary city has a strong Light Saint Master, he is powerless to return to the sky.
And Mingdong, like Jian Chen, also successfully advanced to the top 16, while Qin Ji and Tianmu Ling also successfully advanced to the top 16 through the King's Soldiers, and their opponents were seriously injured by the King's Soldiers. Although Huang Luan has the Sun and Moon Bow, the King's Soldier, the advantage of the Sun and Moon Bow in the ring is almost lost, and she herself only has the strength of a Earth Saint Master, so there is no suspense in losing, because her opponent is a person with the power of a light attribute saint, and his strength is much stronger than her.
And Dugu Feng, who is not weak, also ran into Jian Chen because of the coincidence of fate, and was forced to be eliminated helplessly. The other two people with the power of the Light Attribute Saint also successfully entered the top sixteen, and the three of them were really as powerful as rumored, all of them were very strong, at least they were all above and below the Four Turns Earth Saint Master, and they also mastered a lot of combat skills.
The next ten masters will be selected among the sixteen people, and the rules of the game are still eight people to advance, and the way to eliminate eight people, the only difference is that the two places after the most will be selected again from the eight people who have been eliminated.
Since it was still early, the competition continued, and after Jian Chen's draw of lots, he sat quietly on the stool and waited for the game to start, while the other fifteen contestants all stayed in the same place as Jian Chen, wrapped in an enchantment, completely isolated from the outside world.
"Hey, Jianchen, you must get the first place, don't let us all down, we all have great expectations for you. Ming Dong stretched out his hand and put it on Jian Chen's shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Giggles, little brother, now there are strong people here, although you can beat a few of us, but the strength of a few of them is not weak, are you sure that you can win the first place?"
Jian Chen looked ahead, looked at the scene outside through the barrier, and said, "I can only say that I will do my best. β
As soon as Jian Chen's words fell, a yin and yang strange voice came from behind him, "Hmph, do your best, boy, how old are you, you want to win the first place without knowing the sky, do you really treat so many of us as waste?"
Hearing the sound, Jian Chen turned his head to look, and saw that the person who spoke was a middle-aged man, about forty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a white shirt with a pattern, this person Jian Chen was no stranger, and he was one of the three people with the power of the light attribute saint.
Beside the middle-aged man, a person about the same age as him stared at Jian Chen's people with disdain, and said casually: "Forget it, Caraga, don't be like a little kid, people are just bragging." β
The conversation between the two made Jian Chen's brows furrow slightly, and his originally plain gaze suddenly became a little sharp. But Ming Dong couldn't get angry, glared at the two people who spoke, and shouted: "You two better not let me see you in the ring." β
Hearing this, the faces of the two suddenly burst into anger, and the person known as Kagala immediately burst into a loud shout: "What a little kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, if this was not a mercenary city, Lao Tzu would have cut you with one cut." β
"Boy, you seem to be called Mingdong, right, I also advise you, when you meet my uncle in the ring, it's best to surrender immediately, otherwise, I dare to swear, you will never leave the ring alive. The middle-aged man beside Kagala said in a deep tone, the strong killing intent was not concealed, if it weren't for the scruples of the occasion here, I'm afraid the two of them would have done it a long time ago.
Ming Dong snorted coldly, his eyes also showed a strong killing intent, and he said coldly: "It depends on whether you have the ability to do this." β
Jian Chen's face was a little gloomy, he stared at the two people who spoke sharply, and said in a low tone: "Caraga, Gaddafi, remember what you two said, and see who lives and dies in the end." These two people are the two people who won the first and third place in the competition, and Jian Chen has known their names for a long time.
"Hmph, two boys who don't know the height of the sky. Gaddafi sneered, not taking Ming Dong and Jian Chen in his eyes at all.
"Enough, you two are so shameless, you are so old and even bullying two juniors, I feel ashamed for you. A middle-aged man standing beside the two finally couldn't stand it anymore and interjected.
Hearing this, Gaddafi and Caraga's eyes snorted coldly at the same time, and Gaddafi said expressionlessly: "Zhar, this is a matter for the two of us, and you don't need to care." β
"Do you two think it's an honorable thing to bully juniors? It's stupid, if this matter spreads, you will only become a disgrace to our light warriors. Zar said with a cold face.
"That's enough!" Kagara stared at Zal with an embarrassed expression, and shouted in a deep voice, "Zal, don't forget where you stand, who is on which side of the person you are, and actually helps irrelevant outsiders to speak." β
Zar snorted coldly and said, "Don't find those crooked reasons for me, I didn't help outsiders speak, I just can't get used to the two of you, and I have lost the face of our light warriors." β
"Youβ" Gaddafi and Carraga trembled with anger, but they couldn't find anything to say.
At this moment, there was a change outside the barrier, and the barrier on the ten rings suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, I saw that all the rings were slowly sinking towards the ground, and soon disappeared without a trace, merging with the earth, forming a flat ground without the slightest bump.
This scene made Jian Chen's eyes widen in surprise, he didn't expect that there was such a magical thing hidden in the mercenary city, but before Jian Chen could understand how those rings sank, suddenly, an even bigger ring slowly rose from the ground again, this ring was very large, the area was several times larger than the ring used in the previous game, and the length and width were five hundred meters.
Just as the ring was raised, a transparent barrier enveloped the ring in all directions, and immediately after, a spatial door leading to the ring appeared not far from Jian Chen.
