[328] Martial arts contest
In the face of the impassioned dragon girl, Ying Zhao and Ying Er were just stunned for a moment, and took turns to fight; but after a long time of persuasion, her throat was smoking, and the dragon girl still resolutely refused to withdraw.
Seeing that she was so stubborn and stubborn, Ying Zhao really couldn't do it, so he pulled up the shadow angrily, turned around and left.
As soon as he went out, Ying Zhao beckoned to the general flag of the Tai Guard guarding outside the door, and admonished: "Yu Xuan, you go to my guard and draw two small flags that can be played, and let them bring their own soldiers to come here, once the war starts, they will try their best to protect the safety of the dragon girls." ”。
"No. The tall and thin man bowed his hand and turned away.
Ying Zhao stood under the stone steps in front of the dragon girl's house, and after watching the general flag of his subordinates leave, he raised his eyes and looked at the northern sky, and couldn't help frowning in a daze.
He knew that under the gray sky in the distance, there was a huge Northern Yin Dynasty Sailor Division, loaded with bed crossbows, flint cannons, trebuchets and other heavy siege weapons, and two million Yin soldiers, which was gradually approaching Shuoyue Island.
"Husband, what are you worried about?" Shadow asked softly when she saw this.
"It's too much. When Ying Zhao heard this, his brows tightened a few points, and he sighed slightly: "This time the enemy army is menacing, there are many of them, the defenders of Shuoyue Island are only more than 200,000, and the militia of Qubu is only 100,000, I am worried about ......."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I haven't fought such a big battle for thousands of years, I'm really afraid of disappointing my eldest brother's expectations." ”。
Say no more.
In fact, even if he didn't say much, Ying'er knew what he was worried about, and she could clearly hear the news of the approaching army of more than two million Northern Yin Dynasty in the house, such a huge number of Yin soldiers was enough to beat this small Shuoyue Island into powder. Once the war starts, it will inevitably be a desperate battle to the death.
"You've always been my hero. But after a while, the unfrightened shadow raised his slender hand, stroked Yingzhao's back, and said softly: "If you are a hero, don't sigh, just take out your courage and faith, and do what you have to say." ”。
"What's more, Shuoyue Island has a geographical advantage, and the ghosts on the island are all the same heart of the army and the people. Speaking of this, Ying'er turned his head slightly, glanced at the hidden door behind him, listened to the faint sound of medicine pounding behind the door, and said in a flat tone: "Who said that you only have 300,000 troops to adjust? We are also your Taishou's soldiers." ”。
Ying Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and slowly turned his head to look at the shadow that happened to be looking at him, and when his eyes met, he saw a little perseverance in the eyes of his wife. In the attic behind him before, in the eyes of the dragon girl, he also saw such a gaze.
He looked around at the guards in front of him and below, some of them had never been on the battlefield, but when they met Ying Zhao's eyes, there was not the slightest fear or panic between his eyebrows, only a look of determination.
"We will win!" Shadow said no more, but smiled indifferently and stretched out his hand, holding up Yingzhao's wide calloused palm, and the ten fingers interlocked, bringing great courage to Yingzhao......
At the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, in the belly of the mountain immersed in the lake, there is a natural cave with a height of 100 zhang and a size of about two hectares, which can accommodate tens of thousands of ghosts.
And in the middle of the cave, there is a circular arena with a height of ten zhang and a diameter of one hundred zhang built by the three seedling ghosts with a huge rock barrier. Everywhere you can see potholes, stalagmites like swords pointing to the sky, and puddles of various shades and sizes.
The inward side of the wall was also covered with the skulls, foot bones, and ribs of the beast spirits, and at first glance it seemed that the arena was not surrounded by a heavy stone wall, but rather made of bones.
On the wide walls of the arena are three floors of tall steps, each with a fence made of animal bones at the front of the aisle. The face is covered with the banner of the dog god, and every other foot there is a brazier made of the skull of a beast.
The green ghost fire rose and swayed in the basin, illuminating the entire arena below, which was quite weird.
On the top four sides of the last layer, four huge stones with a height of several zhang were carved into four lifelike tall stone statues of dog gods, standing or squatting, lying or sitting, and the top of each stone statue reached the top of the cave, making it difficult to see the true face. And on both sides of the stone statue, there is a long spiral staircase, which is embedded in the outside of the wall, leading to the outside of the arena and below.
This arena has a long history, has a history of thousands of years in the underworld, has always been used by the Sanmiao ghost clan to fight bears on the winter solstice entertainment, and is also the place where the great leaders of the past generations were selected.
In this arena, every inch of land was stained with ghost blood, full of barbaric atmosphere, and at the same time, it also wrote the courage and courage of the leaders of the three seedlings of the past dynasties.
At this moment, the three steps at the top of the wall were full of the three Miao ghosts in Yunmeng Village. Old and young, both men and women, and the three Miao ghosts with heads and faces in Yunmeng Village were all present. They cheered loudly, with a deafening echo, and at the same time, their excited eyes fell on the arena, the Nine Shadow Kings and their big leaders who were standing on the edges of the north and south sides of the arena.
Xiao Shizhu was quiet as if he was petrified, standing on the southern edge of the field, deaf to the exclamations and shouts of the three Miao ghosts, just quietly raising his eyes to look at the opposite side.
Calm and calm, he stared at his opponent without saying a word, and watched him running excitedly at this time, stretching out his arms to enjoy the cheers on the field.
"Could it be that the Nine Shadows King is afraid?" Ma Long, who was sitting on the east side of the wall, couldn't help muttering when he saw Xiao Shizhu being surprisingly quiet.
"Afraid?" Xiao Fuling, who was sitting beside him and holding the Moon Destroying Sword, snorted coldly and asked rhetorically: "Lord Priest is really joking, who has my father been afraid of? ”。 After saying that, he pouted.
Ma Long was not shocked or angry when he heard this, but felt that Xiao Lingsha was cute, so he laughed a few times and echoed: "Yes, yes, after all, his ability to be the king of the Nine Shadows, the old man has seen it himself." ”。
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with sincere admiration, and at the same time, there was also a bit of expectation intertwined with excitement, which burst out of his eyes and fell on Xiao Shizhu's body.
He had seen the ability of the big leader of Sanmiao, and he had also seen Xiao Shizhu's, and he couldn't tell who was better, so he was looking forward to this upcoming contest, and he believed that this was definitely an unforgettable martial arts contest.
"That's it. After Xiao Fuling replied triumphantly, she stood up and shouted to her father, "Come on, father!"
Xiao Shizhu in the field suddenly raised his head, smiled slightly when he met his daughter's eyes, then lowered his head, and whispered to his shadow: "Go and protect the master." ”。
As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow under his feet faded a little.
At the same time, Bao Wengli, the leader of Sanmiao, jumped down from the top of the wall, landed steadily in the middle of the field, and after waving to Xiao Shizhu and the big leader with his hands stretched out, he raised his hands high to signal everyone to be quiet.
The cheering in the cave then stopped, and the great cave was silenced after a few moments, when the echoes dissipated one by one.
The excited eyes of the ghosts slowly walked towards the middle of the field with Xiao Shizhu or the big boss who moved. The excitement in my heart has increased instead of decreasing.
"It's a fight to the death, and even if you kill your opponent, you don't have to be responsible for killing your opponent, but at the same time, I hope it's a fair and just fight. I don't want to see weapons like hidden weapons in the arena. After coughing a few times, he cleared his throat and continued to say in a loud and high-pitched voice: "The two sides can use their own magic to duel, but they must compete with their bare hands; if they can't hold up under the attack of the other party, they can call a stop to save their lives, but once they call a stop, or are killed by the other party, they are losers." ”。
After a pause, he looked around at Xiao Shizhu and the big leader of Sanmiao, and asked again, "Did you hear clearly?"
The two ghosts nodded in unison, "Hmm." "Yes.
The two of them just landed in response, and Bao Wenli jumped up on tiptoe, soared into the air and did not fall, looked around the field, and shouted: "I announce, the competition begins!"
Before he could speak, his breath had changed abruptly, and the robe on the body of the three seedling leaders who was murderous and awe-inspiring was blowing up and down, and he waved the fist of his left hand that was already clenched at Xiao Shizhu's face.
"The big fist of the casserole, can you fight so fast?" Xiao Shizhu only felt a fierce wind blowing in his face, and exclaimed at the moment, but he didn't make a move to take this punch hard, but at the same time, he used his Xuan power to swim through the meridians of his body, and his waist bent backwards and leaned back, so that the big leader's fist just brushed the tip of his nose.
He expected that the other party would not dare to use his Xuan power, so he naturally did not fear this punch, but then pointed to the ground on his toes, and his body flew backwards and flew out.
At the same time, a part of the Xuan Power had already swam into the meridians in his eyes, and at the same time, his hands moved in unison, quickly forming three magic seals of the Ghost Divine Technique.
Whether it was the speed of his magic seal or the speed of the big leader's punches, the speed was as fast as thunder and lightning, which dazzled the ghosts watching on the stage.
In an instant, Xiao Shizhu had already flown upside down, and after landing steadily, his lips quickly moved a few times, silently reciting something, and at the same time, all the three seedlings saw the soft white light on his body enveloping him, and his eyes that had already changed.
Then he moved, and the leader of the three seedlings who followed him saw Xiao Shizhu's eyes, which should have been white and black, also turned into the appearance of gold on the outside and black on the inside in an instant, and countless small blue lights flashed in the black pupils, constantly flying and rotating in the pupils;
He felt the mysterious power in Xiao Shizhu's body, which was so powerful at this time, like a vast star, diametrically opposed to the previous weakness and powerlessness.
And Xiao Shizhu, who was good at observing words and expressions, also noticed the consternation in his eyes, and the rapid twitching of the muscles at the corners of his mouth, and immediately laughed: "What? I don't understand why my Xuan Power suddenly became stronger?"
Although he was laughing, his voice was loud, and all the ghosts present could hear every word he spit out, and after being stunned for a moment, they whispered: "Did you hear it?
"Of course I heard it, and I'm not deaf. ”。
"Could it be that he is the legendary son of God?"
"So, the legend is true?" ......
The discussion rang out one after another, and the big leader of the three seedlings stopped in his ears and suddenly became confused, and his heart was like numbness.
Even Bao Wengli, who was standing in the air, let out a suspicious sound of "Huh?" while staring at Xiao Shizhu, and muttered softly: "How is it possible for the ancient god Xuantong?"
"That's because before I met you, I controlled the Xuan Power in my body to make it appear weak, this kind of little trick is not unfamiliar to you who also have Xuan Power, right?" Xiao Shizhu saw the opportunity, and without hesitation to use the ghost magic skill as he spoke, he rushed towards him with a burst of afterimages.
