Chapter 43 (1)
Sunset slope.
A plain with gentle terrain and a wide view outside the city.
In the past, there were few people on the sunset slope, but today it is full of people and lively.
The five-year meeting of the four major families in Huaibinzhou will be held here.
Thousands of local monks from Huaibin Continent, as well as monks from other continents who came to visit him, gathered here to participate in this once-in-a-five event.
These monks unanimously set up simple tents on the periphery, and took out the things they collected on weekdays to sell and exchange, and exchanged what they had, forming a simple market. While filling his pocket, he was looking forward to the upcoming martial arts competition.
The crowd was littered with impassioned arguments or-for-tat justifications. What's more, they also opened the handicap and set up various bets on the upcoming competition, which attracted many monks to bet one after another, hoping to make a fortune on the player they liked.
At the center of the sunset, a huge ring with a width of 100 zhang has been built at this time, and the fighting methods that will be carried out later will also be presented on this ring.
The patriarchs of the four major families and the elders all sat on the VIP seats not far from the ring. Under them, the elite disciples of each family and the contestants stood separately, and the lineup was distinct.
At this time, Yan Ning, who was sitting in the single lineup, was holding a wooden card printed with the 'three' symbol in his hand, slowly thinking about something.
This is the order in which he was drawn as a contestant.
Regarding the so-called martial arts of Huaibinzhou, he was also curious to inquire before. After figuring out the reason, there is a lack of interest.
Just as he was about to recuperate again, waiting for the next mission. However, he received an order forcibly sent to him by the Shan Family Mission Hall, asking him to participate in the martial arts.
According to Yan Ning's plan, he just wants to get through the current period smoothly, and he is a little resistant to this kind of limelight. However, the instructions that came were decisive and did not allow him to retreat.
This made him quite helpless that some people had to bow their heads under the eaves.
Speaking of the rules of this martial arts, it is actually very simple.
Each of the four major families sent three Qi refining disciples to participate in the competition, including those family guests. Contestants select their opponents by drawing lots, and after the six promotion places are determined in the first round, they will draw lots again to select the three finalists. In the finals, the three of them competed separately, and the final winner was determined according to their results and performances, and the leader of the martial arts will also receive a spiritual spring and a lot of rewards.
Shan Wei on the side seemed to sense that Yan Ning was a little emotional, and said with a smile of relief: "Brother Yan, you don't have to worry. Shan Wei believes that with Brother Yan's ability, he will definitely be able to pass all the way, and even win the first place. ”
Yan Ning shook her head and said lightly: "Sister Shan Wei, you really look down on your little brother." You've seen it before, and the younger brother is just so good at the Lei Fa ability with both hands, and he will be exhausted after using it. If it is resolved by others, it will only be a surrender and admit defeat. ”
"The family also takes a fancy to Brother Yan, otherwise they wouldn't have handed over such an important place to you. In any case, I am full of confidence in Brother Yan, hehe!" Shan Wei thought that he was worried about Huiwu, and cheered up.
looked at the wooden card in Yan Ning's hand, and then asked in a concerned tone, "Is this number three the order of appearance drawn by Brother Yan, do you know who the opponent is?"
"I don't know, but after the draw, the younger brother was told that he was going to play in order. Yan Ning continued to return lightly.
"Hahaha, Brother Yan, we've found out who your opponent is!" laughed and squeezed through the crowd.
Before anyone arrived, the sound came first, and he looked extremely excited, as if he was about to play.
Shan Jin, who followed him, also looked excited.
When he came closer, he put his arm on Yan Ning's shoulders and asked mysteriously, "Brother Yan, do you know who your opponent is?"
Yan Ning shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Then, the unilateral side said with a somewhat gloating smile: "It's the guy surnamed Wan we met in the restaurant last time, you say it's a coincidence! Brother Yan must beat that little white face all over the ground to find teeth, and let out a good breath for us!"
Shan Jin on the side also said excitedly: "Yes, Brother Yan! Our brothers have put all their net worth on you! This time not only can you make a lot of money." I can also see if the person surnamed Wan can have an empty face when the time comes. Hahaha!"
The two brothers' confidence in Yan Ning as if they were in their hands made several single monks nearby a little surprised.
Yan Ning is in the Shan family on weekdays, and except for some exchanges with those people he knows, he rarely has any contact with other people. The Shan family has only heard of him, a guest secretary, and they don't know anything about his strength.
Regarding the request of the mission hall to be overwhelming, Yan Ning fought and would fight, which also attracted a lot of doubts.
After all, such a rare opportunity to make a name for himself is longing for both the disciples of the Shan family and other guest qing. This can not only improve their status in the single family in the future, but also get a lot of resource rewards, which can be said to be a good thing for fame and fortune.
The other two people of the Shan family who participated in the martial arts this time, a middle-aged monk with a long face, were also Hakka like Yan Ning. looked arrogant, and seemed to be a little disdainful of the remarks made by the two of them just now.
Another disciple of the Shan family, named Shan Qingfeng, was the best among the Qi refining cultivators of this generation. Maybe he had heard some things about Yan Ning, but he didn't seem to care much about what the two of them said just now, but he looked a little curious about Yan Ning.
Regarding the praise of the two brothers who were full of anticipation, Yan Ning just smiled and responded humbly.
As for what other people thought of him, he didn't bother to speculate.
The only thing I had in mind was to end the martial arts as soon as possible, so that I could redevote myself to meditation and recovery.
Under the enthusiastic encouragement of the master of ceremonies, the atmosphere of the scene has reached a boiling trend, and under the eyes of the people, this year's Huaibinzhou Huiwu finally kicked off.
The first to appear were the clansmen of the Wan family Keqing and the Wang family.
The two may have been infected by this lively atmosphere and the bursts of shouts and cheers from the audience. As soon as they fought, they fought very hotly,
The Wang family is worthy of being a family famous for refining weapons, this disciple of the Wang family is not very old, and he actually controls two high-grade magic weapons at the same time. Launched a stormy attack on the people on the other side, trying to rely on the sharpness of magic weapons to resolve the battle in a short time.
And the guest of the Wanjia family, a middle-aged Taoist priest.
Seeing the opponent's sharp attack, he was not in a hurry to fight directly. He pasted a diamond talisman on his body to protect his body, and then a rod of dust danced impermeable. Obviously, he had the idea of avoiding his edge, relying on his mana to be deeper than the other party, and when the Wang family monk on the opposite side was sharp, that was when he counterattacked.
Sure enough, under the constant wandering and consumption of the middle-aged Taoist priest of the Duan family, the monk of the Wang family, who controlled the two magic weapons at the same time, seemed to be a little weak. The middle-aged Taoist priest saw the opportunity to sacrifice a small red sword and directly defeated it.
In the admiration and congratulations of everyone in the audience, Yaowu returned to his own camp with great power.
And the defeated monk of the Wang family stared at the middle-aged Taoist priest very unwillingly, took back the magic weapon stupidly, and stood back dejectedly.
The first game was so exciting, it completely ignited the enthusiasm of everyone watching the game, and the shouts and shouts came one after another. Those monks who were about to take the stage seemed a little impatient and wanted to show their skills.
When it was the turn of the third game, the young man surnamed Wan flashed and fell into the ring. The folding fan in his hand kept fanning back and forth, looking extremely confident and calm, and his eyes glanced at Yan Ning from time to time, full of provocation.
This series of actions attracted countless cheers, and many female cultivators in the Wan family screamed again and again.
Yan Ning slowly walked into the arena, ignoring the actions of the young man surnamed Wan.
This is in stark contrast to the shining debut of Wan Dagongzi just now. If it weren't for the fact that he seemed to be very good-looking, he would have attracted a lot of boos.
At this time, everyone in the single family was naturally unanimous and cheered for him loudly. The two of them shouted frantically, and they didn't know if it was the power brought by the spirit stone.
"Boy, who do you look down on with a cold face? Later, Ben Gongzi will not show mercy, you had better come up with some means, don't lose too ugly. Otherwise, you will lose your guest job, and there will be no place to cry. Haha!"
The young man surnamed Wan continued to put on the posture that he thought was chic, but he held a few talismans tightly in his hands, secretly using enough mana. Make up your mind to harass him between words first, provoke him with anger, and then attack him unprepared.
Yan Ning saw that this young man surnamed Wan looked like he was begging to be beaten, and he really wanted to directly throw two Lei Fa over and solve his hasty problem. However, in order not to attract too much attention, I can only patiently entangle with him.
propped up a shield, ignored Wan Dagongzi's words, and quietly waited for the other party to make a move.
When the young man surnamed Wan saw Yan Ning's big look, his heart suddenly became angry.
Throwing all the talismans in his hand at Yan Ning, the fan in his hand was even more aimed at him, several black lights flashed, and several bone spurs hidden in the middle of the fan were glowing with ghostly light, and they shot over quickly.
Yan Ning faced the oncoming talisman, and with a flash of footsteps, he easily avoided it.
Then he took out the green mica sword, poured mana into it, and suddenly doubled in size, and held the giant sword horizontally in front of him.
"Ding, Ding, Ding"
Three crisp sounds came from the sword, and the three bone spurs only left a few faint marks on the sword, and then they were stopped.
Looking at the scratches on this sword, Yan Ning frowned slightly, as if he was not very satisfied with the defensive power of this sword body.
Then he calmly looked at the young man surnamed Wan opposite, his chin raised slightly, and the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.
