Chapter 127: The Wind and Waves Rise Again
However, in order to avoid the phenomenon of missing pearls in the sea, this year, after the deliberation of the elders, the format of the annual competition will be changed. It is no longer grouped according to the realm, but according to the age, under the age of 14 is a group, 14 to 18 years old is a group, and over 19 years old is a group, and the members of the three groups are still dueling in pairs, regardless of the realm, and the last three winners are judged. ”
Gong Shangyu's eyes in the crowd darkened, she couldn't blame her for thinking too much, she really felt that this rule was specially set up for her.
"So, without further ado, the following three age groups are drawn separately, and the two people who draw the same number are the opponents of the first group, and then the largest number and the smallest number left in the group are a group, and the competition continues. Although the sword has no eyes, you are all the elites of my Yunshan faction, and you will never allow each other to kill each other. If you want the elders to find out that there are disciples who deliberately kill and cripple their opponents, they will be expelled from the mountain gate immediately!"
In fact, these words showed that Dabi, a disciple of the Yunshan Sect, had already been downgraded. How can a contest that does not allow a killer to force out the true strength of a disciple? The flowers in the greenhouse can never stand tall in the wind and waves. There is no postgraduate examination of life and death, no matter how high the realm is, it is just a showcase.
But Gong Shangyu can't take care of these. The lottery has begun, and she is constantly praying in her heart that she will not meet her sister and Senior Brother Ye Cheng early. They have the largest age group of 64 people, and they need to win four games to finish in the top four. It's a single-elimination game, and if you lose one, you won't have a chance.
Finally it was Gong Shangyu's turn, she carefully took out a note, put it in her palm and prayed several times, opened it and saw that it was the thirty-second. Then in a panic, he immediately looked at the numbers of the disciples who had been registered on the stone slab, looked for a long time, and then, a thunderbolt came out of the blue.
On the bluestone slab, it is clear that it has been registered, the youth group No. 32 A, Gong Shangxue.
Is this just a god of good luck??
The master took away the note in Gong Shangyu's hand and engraved her name on the back of bluestone slab No. 32. Gong Shangxue on the side saw her sister's name, frowned, walked up to Gong Shangyu, and said: "Don't admit defeat in advance, you can go up and use all the swordsmanship you have learned in a while, and then pretend not to go down, don't worry, I won't be ruthless to you." ”
Is Gong Shangxue kind? Yes. Although she is Gong Shangyu's half-sister, she does not have so much prejudice against her sister-in-law. She's just a pure-hearted girl. As for what she said just now, it's just because she knows too well what realm her sister is in, and it is impossible to compete with herself. But she still wanted to give her sister a chance to show her sword moves, so that the master and the elders could see that her sister was also working hard.
It's just that these kind words are not so good in Gong Shangyu's ears.
She kept praying and praying, she just didn't want to meet her sister early, but she met anyway. yes, she's just so unlucky, she's never had good luck. Maybe all her good luck was used to pick up Mumu. Mu Mu worked so hard to sort out her true qi, and also did her sparring, she lost here in the first game, how could she get Mu Mu right?
Even Gong Shangyu herself didn't find out that before the start of this annual competition, the first person in her heart who didn't want to disappoint him was no longer her father or grandfather, but the man she picked up for half a year, and he was not even a cultivator.
Gong Shangxue really felt that her luck in drawing lots was too good. This time of the year, she met her sister who was only in the foundation building realm for the first time, and the other winner she met after winning was actually born in the two foundation building realms. And the senior brother Ye Cheng who she didn't want to meet the most was actually drawn on the thirty-one, and then the biggest and smallest number of the competition were dueled, which means that unless it was to the finals, Gong Shangxue didn't have to face his brother Ye Cheng.
The joust had finally begun, and her poor sister was already standing in the ring with a solemn expression. Gong Shangxue actually has some pity in her heart, this sister is really pitiful, when she was a child, her cultivation talent was obviously good, but she didn't know why she had always stagnated in the past year. That's it, she is kind enough to put some water and give her sister some opportunities to show herself!
As if he understood what Gong Shangxue was thinking, Gong Shangyu clenched the Qianliu Sword in his hand and said, "Sister, I will be serious, I hope you can also go all out, this is the respect for me." ”
The onlookers on the gimbal simply fried the pot instantly. I didn't expect that Gong Shangyu, who was in the foundation building realm, would learn to speak ruthlessly. Many disciples instantly ridiculed, saying that she didn't know the height of the sky, and some people shouted at Gong Shangxue on the stage: "Educate your sister how to behave!"
Gong Shangxue was also stunned, but she saw the seriousness and persistence in her sister's eyes, she knew that her sister was serious, so she ignored those who coaxed, and nodded and said seriously: "It's me who is wrong, I should face you seriously." ”
Saying that, Gong Shangxue's momentum skyrocketed, and the coercion of the Jindan Dacheng realm exploded instantly, and the sword in his right hand took off, and the Reverse Cloud Sword was clenched in his hand. Gong Shangyu is also-for-tat, and the same momentum erupts, although it is a foundation building realm, there is an endless coercion released!
The eyes of the onlookers shrank suddenly, and the noisy noise came to an abrupt end.
The sword light slashed like a meteor.
The battle ended quickly beyond everyone's expectations.
The sword qi of the Qianliu Sword collided with the Reverse Cloud Sword, only a sharp sword roar was heard, Gong Shangyu's breath soared rapidly, and the Qianliu Sword, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, burst out in an instant with a weight like a giant hammer of ten thousand catties.
However, the sword qi was intertwined, and Gong Shangxue's tiger mouth exploded instantly, and the anti-cloud sword in his hand flew out. Before she could even scream, the powerful sword qi had already passed the spirit sword in her hand and slashed beside her neck, bringing a wisp of green silk.
As long as it deviates half an inch, blood will be splattered on the spot.
There are no strange moves, just a move that every disciple of the academy has practiced the Luan Feng Sword. The three-zhang sword qi, as sharp as a blade, smashed a few pieces of the bluestone in the ring behind Gong Shangxue.
Gong Shangyu collected his sword and stood back, the breeze was blowing, and he was not stained with dust.
"Gong, Gong Shang Yusheng!" the elder in charge of the referee's voice trembled a little. When did this girl become so powerful! She is worthy of being the descendant of the palace family, and if she doesn't make a sound, she is a blockbuster!
Everyone didn't expect that the fight between the two sisters of the Gong family would end in such a way. If Gong Shangyu won the bloody battle, they would not be so surprised, after all, although Gong Shangxue's realm was not low, except for the earth-shattering Hundred Waves Stacked Sword, there were no surprising tricks. It's just that Gong Shangyu actually won with the most ordinary sword move, which is too unbelievable.
Just now, it was Luan Feng Sword, right? Luan Feng Sword's sword qi, when could it be so far away?
Even Gong Shangyu herself didn't expect that she would be able to exert such power by mobilizing the new vortex true qi. During this time, she fought against Mu Mu, because Mu Mu had no true qi, and she had never used her true qi, and she couldn't even hurt Mu Mu, who was recovering from a serious injury, she always felt that she had not made much progress.
It's just that the sword qi just now was cut out by her?
Gong Shangxue didn't say anything, and walked straight off the stage. If she loses, she loses, she has just been preoccupied with her sister's reminder, but she has already lost before she has even swung a sword.
If that were the enemy, I'm afraid I'd even have my head off now.
Gong Shangyu's victory amazed everyone for a long time, but the competition was still carried out as usual, and in the other games, it was impossible for the Zhuji realm to meet the Jindan realm to fight back, and the scene of defeating the strong with the weak did not appear for the second time.
The first round of the competition ended, and in the second round, Gong Shangyu faced the No. 1 who won the first game, and he turned out to be a junior disciple who was at the peak of the foundation realm, and he was two months younger than her, so naturally he had no doubts, won easily, and entered the top 16.
The first day of the competition ended here, and when it ended, Gong Shangyu happily ran to her secret base, and saw Bingruo practicing swords outside the house from a distance, and directly set up light skills and pounced.
"Mumu! Mumu! I won! I won! I was so happy. "Obviously laughing, laughing and laughing, but crying.
Bingruo was almost knocked down by this girl, and looked at Gong Shangyu hanging on her body a little helplessly, and she didn't bother to correct the name problem for a long time, but frowned and said, "It's over so soon?"
"I only played two games today, and I won both of them! I'm in the top 16!" Gong Shangyu wiped his tears, a little proud.
"It's just the top 16, it's worth your joy? Isn't the top four the bottom line?"
"But I won my sister! You don't know, I met my sister in the first draw, I thought I was finished, and I would definitely be expelled from the division this time, but but, I actually won my sister with the Luan Feng Sword!
"Your sister?"
"Of course! My sister is Gong Shangxue! Two and a half years ago, she was sent by Yunshan to participate in the Young Generation's Peerless Conference, and she even entered the top eight! Fifteen years old! The youngest in the audience! One move and a hundred waves stacked swords, beating the invincible hand all over the world!"
Gong Shangxue...... Bingruo didn't expect that this monster turned out to be Gong Shangxue's sister. That girl Bingruo still remembers, and the Hundred Waves Stacked Sword does have its extraordinary. Although Bingruo had never fought with Gong Shangxue, he also understood that he might not be able to break that trick back then.
Seeing that Bing Ruo didn't speak, Gong Shangyu naturally thought that Bing Ruo hadn't heard of this, so he pouted a little boredly, and said, "Forget it, you don't understand it when I tell you." This is something that only the pinnacle of Kyushu knows about the top of the rivers and lakes, and a little minion like you naturally doesn't know how powerful the top eight of the conference are. That's the pinnacle of the two realms of good and evil. ”
Bingruo didn't bother to respond, and now he can't get into Bingruo's eyes for the little fights back then. As for the pinnacle of young disciples...... One day earlier, he was going to go to Di Wuyan in person to ask for advice.
According to Shangyun Mountain's previous plan, Bingruo, who broke through the realm of creation, could already walk the rivers and lakes. It's just that at this moment, I lost the person who accompanied me.
Without her, what is the interest of this river and lake?
At the end of the first day of the competition, all the disciples went back to rest, and Tianqiongzi personally inspected the circle and returned to the Hall of Elders. The nine elders of the Hall of Elders had already arrived, and all eight of them were full of white hair and wrinkles, but the Great Elder who was sitting on the left side of the lower hand was looking like a young man with a good face. The Heavenly Dome walked to the middle of the hall and bowed to the empty center first, then to the Great Elder on the left, and then sat down on the first seat on the right side of the lower hand.
The Great Elder on the left-hand side was none other than the previous head of the Yunshan Sect, Gong Fengyou, the master of the Peak Realm of Silence. It's just that the two heads of the front and back are only sitting on the lower hand, but the first one is vacant there.
"Presumably the elders already know the purpose of this elders' meeting. The Hundred Ghosts traveled at night to slaughter twelve disciples under my mountain again, and they also left a unique mark on the rampantly, I don't know what the elders think?" Tianqiongzi slowly put away the kind smile he had been hanging on his face, and as soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the main hall became much more solemn.
The "Hyakki Night Walk" is a new assassination organization that has only emerged in recent months. No one knows where this organization came from, but as soon as it appeared, it challenged the eight gold medal killers of the original most prestigious assassination organization in Kyushu, killed them one by one, and left a unique mark of a hundred ghosts walking at night. Since then, it has replaced the prestige and status of the Killing Hall in the rivers and lakes.
No one knows where the headquarters of Hyakki Night Walk is, but there are locations all over Kyushu where Hyakki Night Walk accepts missions. Leave the identity information and commission of the person to be killed, and as long as the task is accepted, within seven days, the person will die.
There was once a decent nominal disciple who was asked to go on a mission of a hundred ghosts at night at a price of two hundred taels of silver, and later this person knew about it and fled back to the nominal sect overnight. That sect is called the Flying Tiger Sect, and it is also a well-known second-rate sect, but it turned out that on the same night, this person's blood was spilled on the spot, and none of the twenty masters of the Yuanying Realm stationed in the sect, including the head of the sect, were spared. And all the black-clothed killers who walk the rivers and lakes at night with hundreds of ghosts are no more than the Jindan realm. All kinds of ghost masks came and went on the face.
For the sake of two hundred taels of silver to kill a sect, the rivers and lakes of Kyushu were terrified.
An elder sitting on the left side had an expressionless face and said slowly, "Now, the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk seems to be eyeing our Yunshan Sect. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.
"Since last month, thirty-eight disciples of my Yunshan Sect have fallen into the hands of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walker. Although they are all outer disciples under the mountain, they have already seriously violated the reputation of our Yunshan faction. The hundred ghosts even let out a word at night, the disciples of the Yunshan faction are not allowed to go out of Yunzhou, and anyone who walks out of Yunzhou will be killed. ”
Another elder frowned and said, "Are all the disciples in Yunzhou safe and sound?"
Tianqiongzi's face turned cold, and he scolded: "Elder Lan Fang, this is not a question of whether to back down or not. With a wave of his hand, several corpses appeared in the center of the hall out of thin air, and this method was shocking.
The few corpses lying on the ground were all disciples of the outer sect of the Yunshan Sect who had recently been killed. Everyone was killed by a sword, and there was no sign of resistance. Not only that, but each disciple's face was branded with a strange mark of a hundred ghosts walking at night, and the mark was directly imprinted on the flesh and blood, scorched black and distorted, vaguely looking like a giant ghost with a blue face and fangs, but faintly like the shape of a lotus flower.
"If we are indifferent to being provoked like this, then where is the majesty of my Yunshan Sect?"
Everyone's attention was attracted by the corpses on the ground, and the cultivation realm of these disciples was not too low, and the worst was also the realm of the pinnacle of foundation building, but they were pierced through the heart with a sword in such a way, and they didn't even have a chance to fight back. It can be seen that in this organization called the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, the killer techniques of those Jindan realms are very strong.
Several elders nodded slightly. Indeed, if they can swallow this breath after being so provoked, then their Yunshan faction no longer needs to claim to be one of the four major sects in Kyushu. It's just that the hundred ghosts who walk nocturnally see the head and the tail, and if they want to manage it, how should they manage it?
"Elders, in my opinion, we must take care of it at this time!" said the Heavenly Dome again, unquestionable.
Everyone was silent for a while when they heard Tianqiongzi's words, and for a while, it was the first great elder on the left who spoke: "It is indeed necessary to take care of it, the head of the family and nephew, how do you think it should be handled, and the order is." ”
With the approval of the Great Elder, Tianqiongzi bowed slightly, and his confidence was a little stronger: "Since this is the case, it is better to let the top three disciples of the youth group and the youth group go down the mountain together in this annual competition, and help the disciples under the mountain deal with the matter of the hundred ghosts walking at night." ”
"Head, the disciples of the youth group are just that, the disciples of the youth group are only in the realm of Jindan, how can they protect their own safety?"
Tianqiongzi didn't think so: "The mountain disciples of my Yunshan Sect are living too comfortably, they should be allowed to see the wind and waves more." As for safety, I suggest that Elder Luo Hao accompany them down the mountain in secret, and if there is a life-and-death crisis, he can help. ”
Elder Luo Hao was actually originally an elder of the inner gate under the mountain, but he had successfully photographed the fragment of the Kyushu Supreme Treasure Great Dao Book and successfully brought it back to the mountain gate, and the head of the sect obtained part of the power of the Great Dao Book through the fragment, and made miraculous contributions in the battle of encircling and suppressing the demon cult and demons, so Luo Hao was promoted to the mountain. Elder Luo Hao is also at the peak of annihilation, and it is not difficult to protect a few juniors.
All the elders nodded. This matter is decided for the time being.
......
On the second day of the annual competition, more than half of the participating disciples have been eliminated, and the remaining disciples are gearing up one by one. According to the practice of the Yunshan Sect's annual competition, the disciples who entered the top eight could all get a month-long guidance from the eight elders, and the progress they could get was not a little bit. And if you are lucky enough to enter the top three, every disciple can get a spiritual weapon, and Gong Shangyu's Thousand Willow Sword is actually obtained in this way. Although it is only a medium-grade spirit sword, it is also very enviable.
