Before noon, the sixteen places in the finals have been determined, in addition to Xiao, Li, and Zhao, there are two more people in the Tang family who have been shortlisted, that is, among the top sixteen, five people are arranged by the Tang government.

This morning, Li Changsheng also won three games in a row and entered the finals, among which the young master of the Liu family in Hedong was beaten by Li Changsheng and his nose was swollen and he fled in shame.

Not surprisingly, Nanchong Zhuang Xiaoxian also submitted all the way to the promotion, and there was a branch of the rivers and lakes Yu Sifan who was promoted together, this guy also took shit luck, the first two opponents were relatively weak, and the third opponent was Zhixuan Realm, Yu Sifan had no chance of winning, who expected that he had a bad stomach at halftime, and ran three times in a row, and when he reached the ring, he was already tired and collapsed, so he made two moves, and then ran away with his stomach covered.

In the morning, the cruel young swordsman killed another person in the third game and entered the finals, and I heard from Li Datong that this person claimed to be a disciple of Tianshan Mountain, surnamed Lu Mingyuan, and went out of the mountains to experience at the order of the master, and it was only a few months after entering the rivers and lakes.

The rest of the shortlisted people are all disciples of famous and decent families in the rivers and lakes, and their martial arts are also in the Xuan Realm.

In this kind of competition to recruit relatives, the Tang family arranged lunch for those who came to watch the battle, and some people who were eliminated in the morning also prepared meals. The sixteen people who entered the finals were invited to the inner hall for dinner alone.

The inner hall had already prepared wine and rice, which was much more sumptuous than those big pot meals in the courtyard, and after a busy morning, the three of them were unceremonious, and the food was not good-looking.

Yu Sifan walked over and whispered to the three people, "Brother Tai, let's meet again." ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "It's really gratifying that you can enter the finals." ”

Yu Sifan laughed and said, "In these years, to participate in this kind of competition, three points depend on strength, and seven points depend on luck. ”

"Looks like you're in luck. ”

Yu Sifan said proudly, "I've always had good luck. ”

Zhuang Xiaoxian, who was dining next to him, sneered, "Participating in the competition, in my opinion, one point depends on power, and nine points depends on luck." ”

Yu Sifanqi said, "Brother Tai's luck is also good?"

Zhuang Xiaoxian said, "The remaining ninety points rely on silver." Haha!"

The sound of laughter echoed through the inner hall, attracting everyone's attention. Zhuang Xiaoxian waved his hand, "Look at what, hurry up and eat enough, anyway, there is nothing for you to do in the afternoon." ”

Li Changsheng couldn't get used to him, and said, "If I run into you in the afternoon, believe it or not, I beat you so much that you can't even recognize your father." ”

Zhuang Xiaoxian said, "Don't worry, you can't touch me." As he spoke, he laughed and walked away.

Yu Sifan saw that Xiao Jinyan didn't even use chopsticks, so he grabbed them directly with his hands, and couldn't help but remind, "Brother Tang, pay attention to your image, although it is a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, you must also pay attention to your image, our every move in the inner hall will be recorded, and we can't lose etiquette." Seeing that there was no person at the door, he kept staring at us, and it was estimated that he was sent by the Tang family to inspect our behavior and etiquette. ”

At this time, the head chef walked over and said to the man: "Blind Liu, what are you doing here, why don't you go to the backyard to play your three strings?"

The blind man nodded and bowed, "I'm sorry, I'm going the wrong way, it's noisy here, and I don't know how to go." With that, he leaned against the wall and walked out.

Yu Sifan was a little embarrassed and said, "All in all, it's better to be cautious." He gestured with his eyes, "I saw that person didn't see it, it seems that he was sent by the Tianshan Mountains, Three games this morning, two dead and one injured, I hope I don't touch him in the afternoon, otherwise I will simply admit defeat." ”

That Lu Yuan seemed to hear the discussion, and looked over with cold eyes, Xiao Jinyan saw a pair of cold and angry eyes, which seemed to be the enemy of the world, and bowed slightly at the man.

The man looked stunned, turned around, found a chair, sat down straight, closed his eyes, and recuperated for the afternoon game.

Li Datong walked over and said to Xiao Jinyan, "In the first round in the afternoon, you fight against Zhuang Xiaoxian, remember, you have to lose." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "Isn't he already in the top sixteen, why do you have to enter the next round." ”

Li Datong said abruptly, "Just now his old man found the chief steward and added another 20,000 silver, probably seeing the dawn of victory." ”

"What level of martial arts is his martial arts, everyone knows very well, if he loses to him, he is not afraid that the people in the rivers and lakes will laugh at our Tang family?"

Li Dadao, "Among the sixteen finalists, except for Zhuang Xiaoxian, with your martial arts as the weakest, who do you choose? Besides, you lost by strength, not ashamed!"

Xiao Jinyan was speechless.

Li Datong confessed two sentences, and then went to Li Chengcheng and asked him to deliberately lose to Li Changsheng of the Li family in Jinling, on the grounds that the Li family in Jinling is the first family in martial arts, and if the Tang Mansion has the opportunity to marry the Li family, it will naturally be a good talk on the rivers and lakes.

Yu Sifan, whom Zhao Lanjiang dealt with, his sword skills were ruthless and he could enter the top eight, as for that Lu Yuan, the Tang Mansion knew very little about his background, and had already sent a guest from the Tongxiang Realm to deal with him to ensure that he was out of the next round.

After a short period of trimming, the afternoon competition began, Tang Zhengfeng, Tang Zhenghua and three generations of disciples all came to the scene, strangely, Tang Zhengmao was not seen at the scene.

Tang Zhengfeng said to the sixteen, "After a morning of competition, the sixteen of you are promoted, and it is expected to become the first person in three hundred years to marry the Tang family by recruiting relatives through martial arts, congratulations!"

Zhuang Xiaoxian said with a smile, "Master Tang, we have admired Miss San for a long time, since it is the finals, don't hide it, it is better to invite Miss San out, and also give us the opportunity to see her fairy posture, and everyone is motivated when they are desperate in the afternoon." ”

Tang Zhengfeng's eyes showed a hint of displeasure, but he also said, "This request is very reasonable, come here, invite the third lady out!"

After a while, Miss Tang San walked out with the help of several people. She was wearing a phoenix crown and a scarf on her head, but she only saw half a person, and everyone at the scene was already fascinated, attracting a shout.

Tang Xiqiu saluted everyone at the scene, and did not speak, so he went to the back hall to rest.

Knock knock!

The joust begins!

Everyone entered to warm up, Tang Zhengfeng sat on the viewing platform, someone had already served fragrant tea, and only after taking a sip, he saw the chief steward Tang Yuanbing coming over and whispering a few words beside him.

When Tang Zhengfeng heard this, his face was a little surprised, and he said a few more words to Tang Zhenghua, and the two got up, left their seats, and walked to the backyard.

......

The four brothers of Tang Mansion are in the backyard of the house, named after Fengxing, Huaguan, Zhengyang, and Maolin, among which after Tang Zhengzheng died, Zhengyang was renamed Huayu, and now lives Tang Xiqiu.

Morabin-in.

Tang Zhengfeng and Tang Zhenghua, accompanied by the chief steward, walked in, and saw the old lady Tang Shouli hurriedly saluting, "Father." ”

The old lady's eyes were gloomy, she looked at the two brothers and said, "The third child is dead." ”

"Dead?"

Tang Zhengfeng and Tang Zhenghua were shocked when they heard this, and in the martial arts arena, he heard that the old man had summoned the two of them in Maolin Courtyard, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Tang Zhengmao's body lay on top of the bookcase, with a dagger stuck in his chest, and blood flowed down the bookcase and dripped.

With a knife in the heart, there is no hope of resurrection.

Tang Zhengfeng felt the seriousness of the situation, Xu Jiangshan, the second manager Tang Rulong, and then Tang Zhengmao, three people died within three days, which was clearly aimed at the Tang family.

"The third brother is also a knowledgeable realm, there is no trace of a fight at the scene, and the person who killed him was either much higher in martial arts than him, or someone he knew sneaked up on him. ”

Tang Zhengfeng has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he still has a basic judgment on this point.

The old lady said in a deep voice, "That's why I called you here. Zhengfeng, you go up and check if there are any other wounds on the third child's body. ”

Tang Zhengfeng came to Tang Zhengmao's corpse, only to see that his face was pale, obviously he died of excessive blood loss, he observed for a moment and shook his head, "No, if the blade in his chest is not pulled out, it stands to reason that he will not shed so much blood." ”

He slashed Tang Zhengmao's wrist with his fingers, and there was no blood oozing, that is, Tang Zhengmao's whole body was full of blood.

"Unless, in anger, the blood of the whole body gathers in the heart. ”

Tang Zhenghua also exclaimed, "What does the eldest brother mean that the death of the third brother is the same as Tang Rulong and Xu Jiangshan?"

"Yes! If you're not mistaken, they've got a very powerful poison!"

As he spoke, a piece of letterhead fell out of Tang Zhengmao's arms, with five words written on it, "The old lady opened it herself." ”

Tang Zhengfeng didn't dare to make a mistake, so he handed the letterhead to Tang Shouli, and the old lady opened the letterhead, looked at it, and his hands trembled.

There was a line written on it.

"Twenty years ago, flesh and blood killed each other, killed their sons and took their daughters-in-law, and the heavens were angry and resentful. Kill, kill, kill! Tang Zhengmao wrote a masterpiece. ”

Looking at the handwriting, it was written by the third son, Tang Zhengmao, and the old lady Tang was so angry that she trembled, closed her hands, and smashed the letterhead into powder.

Tang Zhengfeng asked, "Dad, what is written on it?"

The old lady said coldly, "You don't have to know. ”

A chill arose from the bottom of Tang Shouli's heart.

The incident twenty years ago was planned by Tang Zhengfeng and handled by Tang Zhengmao himself, but the person who really instructed it was Tang Shouli.

Back then, the position of the head of the Tang family was originally going to be passed on to the third son Tang Zhengzheng, in addition to character and martial arts, Tang Zhengzheng was also responsible for the research and development of the rainstorm pear flower needle.

It was originally a matter of course, but in the spring of that year, Tang Zhengzheng brought back a woman from the rivers and lakes - Song Guanyue, the first beauty in the world.

The woman has the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, she looks like a country and a city, with a smile and a smile, seducting people's souls, and the entire Tang Mansion is envious of the third young master of the Tang family for marrying a peerless beauty.

However, the red face eventually became a disaster.

When Tang Zhengzheng took the woman of the Song family to meet the old lady and told him that he was going to withdraw from the Cui family's marriage contract, the old lady Tang, who was nearly eighty, was moved and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Tang Zhengmao, who has always been at odds with Tang Zhengzheng, and Tang Zhengfeng, who wants to be the head of the family, took this matter into their eyes, and forced the third son Tang Zhengzheng to withdraw from the family with the matter of the Cui family's marriage contract.

Since then, Old Lady Tang has been like a demon, he doesn't think about tea or food, and the eldest son and fourth son took the opportunity to fan the flames, and he nodded and agreed.

At this time, Song Guanyue was pregnant, and the Tang family took the two to the mansion on the grounds that their lives were cooked and cooked.

Tang Zhengfeng and Tang Zhengmao discussed a poisonous plan, Tang Zhengmao bought the drug from Xu Jiangshan, who sold fake medicine in the east of the city, and on the night of the old lady's 80th birthday banquet, Song Guanyue was fascinated and sent to the old lady's room.

Tang Zhengfeng pulled Tang Zhengzheng to drink, he also had private thoughts, pretended to be drunk, and revealed the matter to the third brother, Tang Zhengzheng heard this, and was furious, but saw Song Guanyue half-naked and ran out of Tang Shouli's room.

Old lady Tang got her long-cherished wish and met Tang Zhengzheng at the door, and under some questioning, Tang Zhengzheng drew his sword and came out, but found that Tang Zhengfeng had poisoned the wine he drank.

Tang Zhengzheng was in despair, and the horizontal sword killed himself, and blood splashed Zhixingtang. The three of them were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they said that Tang Zhengzheng was violently ill and died, and killed all the servants who knew about it, so as to cover up this family scandal.

At this time, Song Guanyue was three months pregnant, and she wanted to die, but she thought of the child in her womb and endured humiliation and secretly gave birth.

The Tang family was afraid that Song Guanyue would talk nonsense after she went out, so they imprisoned her in Zhengyang Courtyard.

Since then, there has been one more crazy woman in the Tang Mansion.

Six months later, the crazy woman gave birth to a female baby, who looked like a beautiful girl, but she didn't know how to cry.

When Tang Xiqiu was one year old, Song Guanyue hanged herself under a plum tree in Zhengyang Courtyard.

The only people who knew about this were Tang Shouli, Tang Zhengfeng, and Tang Zhengmao, and the rest were no longer in the world, and Tang Zhengfeng got his wish and became the new head of the Tang family.

Now that Tang Zhengmao is dead, Old Lady Tang looked at Tang Zhengfeng suspiciously, "Kneel!"

Tang Zhengfeng was cold, but he also knelt down according to his words.

"Are you guilty?"

Tang Zhengfeng said in a trembling voice, "The child doesn't know. ”

Tang Zhenghua didn't know why, and he also knelt on the ground.

Except for Tang Zhengfeng, who can force Tang Zhengmao to write a letter of repentance? The old lady looked at her eldest son and couldn't help but sigh, "Get up." ”

"The death of the fourth brother?"

The old lady said coldly, "Check, you must check!"

Tang Zhenghua also asked, "The competition of the outer house to recruit relatives?"

"Of course you have to continue!" the old lady said sharply, "Do you want the world to see my Tang family's jokes?"

His eyes looked towards the Flower Language Academy, "Where is Xiqiu?"

The chief steward said in a low voice, "After lunch today, I will be on the side of the martial arts arena." ”

The old lady said, "My good granddaughter." It's good, it's good. As he spoke, his eyes turned cold.

"In this matter, if anyone says half a word, he will be beaten to death with a stick!"

The chief steward bowed his head to receive the order, and the guards at the door turned their backs in fright.

Tang Zhengfeng said, "Father, I'll deal with the things in the front yard, you go back to the room to rest first." ”

Old Lady Tang waved her crutches and said coldly, "Today, my granddaughter is competing to choose a son-in-law, if the grandfather is not present, won't people say that our Tang family has lost its courtesy?"

......

While!

This was the seventh time that Zhao Lanjiang had been repulsed, and at this time there were already seven or eight colors hanging on his body, and blood was soaked all over his clothes.

In addition to the masters of the Heavenly Ranking, this is the strongest opponent Zhao Lanjiang has encountered since his debut, and the other party is still very young.

The young swordsman had a solemn face and said, "Your sword skills are good, much more powerful than those who claim to be masters of sword skills on the rivers and lakes, I won't kill you today, and when he advances your martial arts to the next level, I will compete with you again." ”

It was a very big tone, but from his mouth, everyone present did not feel that it was inappropriate.

This person is probably the youngest master of the half-step Elephant Realm on the rivers and lakes.

"Three months ago, the first person I killed, claiming to be Beidao Qi Changchun, took me three times.

Two months ago, Wujiang sent Nanshan Daosu Jin Sheng, and I took his life when I stabbed him in the fourth time.

Last month, Baili Wugu, who is known as the ancestor of the world's swords, barely caught my five knives, and you can take my seven knives, which is already amazing. ”

When everyone heard this, Qi Changchun, Jin Sheng, and Baili Wugu were all well-known knife masters in the rivers and lakes, among which Baili Wugu had just ranked ninth on the ground list not long ago, and they couldn't even catch the five knives of this swordsman.

Lu Yuan of the Tianshan Sect was not well-known before, but after today, his fame will surely spread all over the rivers and lakes.

Since the death of the golden knife, the death of the mad knife, and the fall of the knife, I can't imagine that in less than half a year, another master of the knife on the rivers and lakes was born, and he is so young, over time, he will become a new generation of sword kings.

Xiao Jinyan's face was solemn, and Li Chengcheng also said, "I'm afraid Lao Zhao is not his opponent, so let him come down if he can't do it." ”

Zhao Lanjiang spat a mouthful of blood, wiped it with his sleeve casually, raised the knife across his chest, and hissed, "If you want to fight, you can fight, how can you talk so much nonsense!"

"It's not easy for you to learn knives, I can't bear to see you die young, if he is invincible in the future, won't he be in a high place and cold?"

Zhao Lanjiang had contemptuous eyes on his face, and he didn't bother to speak.

His horizontal knife is indomitable, like a bamboo, but he has never been able to break into Lu Yuan's knife curtain, but he is a bloody person, and the more this is the case, the more his fighting spirit is stimulated.

He urged the sword qi, and between heaven and earth, the true yuan fluctuated, gathering on his long knife one after another, and a sharp knife intent vaguely flowed above the blade.

"Why don't you try this knife again? ”

Lu Yuan was in the ring, and he also sensed that the other party's sword intent was strong, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, "It's a little interesting." ”

Half-step through the image realm, is the highest realm under the image realm, when out of the mountain, the master has told him that in addition to those secluded old monsters, his martial arts, in the secular rivers and lakes, under the image, invincible!

Because of this, after he came out of the mountain, he challenged the famous sword master all the way, and found that the Central Plains martial arts were nothing more than that, until he met Zhao Lanjiang, he felt that this river and lake had a little meaning.

Although it is the upper realm of Zhixuan, the martial arts are much more powerful than those hundred miles and grains that claim to have entered the realm of the general image.

Because of Zhao Lanjiang's sword intent, there is a ruthless force.

This is the taste that the people who are greedy for life and afraid of death do not have, whether it is a hundred miles of grains, Jin Sheng, or Qi Changchun, when they fight, the first thing they think about is to save their lives.

I want to save my life, so I can't save my life.

In front of him, his sword intent is to take people's lives.

He even knew that the reason why this guy had such a strong sword intent was because it was sacrificed with countless human heads.

Zhao Lanjiang moved.

A knife slashed out, bringing up a gust of wind.

Horizontal knife trick.

Since Zhao Lanjiang threatened in the mountain stream that he would create his own cross-cutting knife, this month, he has abandoned the moves of the golden knife, the crazy knife and the nameless knife, leaving only the knife intent, and creating his own cross-cutting knife method.

There are only two strokes of the knife technique.

Traversing knife, traversing knife.

A horizontal knife, a broken knife.

This knife is more rapid and courageous than any previous knife, and in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Lanjiang is like a vicious wolf, stretching out his claws and pounced on his prey.

Lu Yuan didn't expect that after this guy used the seven swords, he would have more powerful moves, and he couldn't hold back his excitement and shouted, "It's a good time!"

His body didn't move, and before Zhao Lanjiang approached, he just sent the knife forward softly.

While!

A thunderclap sounded.

It was this soft knife that shook Zhao Lanjiang more than two feet high.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Zhao Lanjiang's mouth.

In mid-air, a single knife is raised.

In an instant, the true yuan of heaven and earth shook violently.

Countless true elements poured into Zhao Lanjiang's body like a river.

Zhao Lanjiang must be exhausted, like a fierce god, descending from the sky.

Everyone exclaimed, "He's breaking the realm!"

Yes, Zhao Lanjiang is breaking the border.

After the failure of the mountain stream breakthrough, Zhao Lanjiang had captured that mysterious and mysterious feeling, and in the battle with Lu Yuan, in a desperate situation, he forced out the strongest Zhao Lanjiang.

Broken knife trick.

I'll take care of your Tianshan knife and Dishan knife.

I don't care if you're invincible or not.

Under my Zhao Lanjiang's knife, there is only one kind of knife.

That's the broken knife!

Two feet!

One foot!

Six feet!

Three feet!

A pitch-black light burst out from above Zhao Lanjiang's long knife.

Knife Gang!

Black Knife Gang!

Before that, the black sword gang was unheard of, and no one had ever practiced the black sword gang.

Three-foot knife gang.

Hit Lu Yuan's knife.

Tianshan unicorn knife.

At this moment, Lu Yuan finally changed color.
