Chapter 49: The Game Begins
"Iron Sword Gate?"
"Well, the master of the Iron Sword Gate is a first-class peak martial artist, and the iron-blooded sword qi technique is also very famous in the rivers and lakes, the disciples in the door all practice swordsmanship, and the inner disciples are almost all above the third-rate peak. β
Su Mu secretly wrote it down and asked, "Well, when does the game start?"
"Two days later. β
"Hmm. The two of them lost their minds to continue shopping after Wang Peng, and then walked back to Chu Mansion together.
In another courtyard, a middle-aged man said to a young man with some concern: "Peng'er, have you investigated the people invited by the Chu family?"
The young man was Wang Peng, who was in the trading market before, and he chuckled and said slowly: "Father, don't worry, this time the child invited my senior brother from the inner door of the Iron Sword Sect, he is a second-rate mid-stage martial artist, no matter who it is, he will definitely be able to help his father win the first place in the Xuan Essence Competition." β
"That's good. β
"Father, but the elder brother didn't help us for free. As soon as Wang Peng's words came out, the middle-aged man just put down his hanging heart and immediately lifted it up.
"What does he want?"
"He wants the Wu Sword Stone of the Chu family. β
"What?The Chu family's Wujian Stone?" the middle-aged man couldn't believe what he heard.
"Yes, but don't worry, father, after you get the Xuan Essence Mine, we can join forces with the other two families to attack the Chu family, and I believe that no one will refuse the Chu family's property." Saying this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Wang Peng's eyes.
"But ......" The middle-aged man was still a little hesitant when he heard Wang Peng say again: "Father, as long as you take the Chu family, then this Beihai City, my Wang family will be the most powerful family." β
......The middle-aged man didn't speak, but this meant that he had already acquiesced, and after obtaining the Xuan Essence Mine, he could start to destroy the Chu family.
Chu Lin took Su Mu to his other courtyard, and after the two sat down, Chu Lin began to talk to him about the competition: "Brother Su, you have a lot of strong opponents in this competition." β
"Huh?"
"I know you can defeat a second-rate early martial artist, but what about the middle stage?" Chu Lin also became a little serious at this time.
"This ......" said that this is not to say that Su Mu is afraid, but that he has fought with a second-rate mid-stage martial artist in the Trial Tower, and the early and middle stages are not at the same stage at all, although he has also improved a lot in the past half a month, but he is still only a third-rate late-stage martial artist.
"Okay, then let me tell you about the rules of this competition and the people sent by the four major families. β
"Hmm. β
"In this competition, each family sent three people to participate in the battle, first draw lots and group groups, and the four families were divided into two games, and then they played one-on-one duels in the order of play, and the battle was a best-of-three system. β
"What about the people sent by each family?" This is what Su Mu really cares about.
"The Wang family sent: Wang Peng, Wang Yi and Guo Hao, Wang Yi is Wang Peng's cousin, and this Guo Hao heard that he is Wang Peng's senior brother, and his cultivation is uncertain, but it should not be lower than the second rate. The Li family sent: Li Chuyang, Li Mei and Li Tai, the Li family is also a little stronger than Li Chuyang, I heard that he joined Xuejian Mountain, and his cultivation is about to enter the second rate. The Lin family sent: Lin Wanqian, Wu Feng and Lin Ling, Lin Wanqian is the second young master of the Lin family, and Lin Ling is his sister, both of them entered the Flash Sword Sect, but this Wu Feng is very mysterious, except for the name, I haven't investigated the others at all. He told Su Mu everything he knew without revealing anything.
"What about your house?"
"Our Chu family sent a person named Ren Ming invited by me, you and my second brother, and I heard him say that Ren Ming is a second-rate martial artist, but I don't know if this is true. Chu Lin was a little helpless when he talked about his second brother Chu He.
"Okay, I see. After the two talked about some other competition matters, Su Mu walked out of Chu Lin's courtyard and returned to his room to start practicing.
Two days passed in a flash, and it was time for the quad to compete.
After Su Mu washed up, he changed into a plain white shirt and walked out of the room with the blood brake sword on his back.
At this time, Chu Lin had already come to Su Mu's room, and saw him dressed in blue and holding a sword in his hand, saying hello to Su Mu and walking to the competition venue together.
After a while, the two came to the makeshift competition platform in the square in the center of the city, which was their competition venue.
At that time, it was already overcrowded, and the two walked towards the venue where the Chu family was.
"Lin'er, Su Shaoxia, you are here. β
Su Mu nodded in response, while Chu Lin walked up to Chu Xiang and asked, "Father, have you drawn lots?"
"It's been drawn, our opponent is the Lin family. Chu Xiang frowned, sighed and said, looking worried.
"It's okay, father, the Ren Daxia I invited this time is a second-rate martial artist, and he will definitely be able to win the game for my Chu family. Chu He said proudly to his father on the side.
"It was better so. β
At this time, Su Mu also saw a man in black standing in the distance of Chu, the man's face was gloomy, and he was carrying a long knife, thinking that this was Ren Ming, the helper that Chu He was looking for.
"The order of appearance is meβ Ren Ming β you. Chu Lin walked over and said.
"Good. β
After finishing speaking, he casually found a place and began to cross his legs and close his eyes to recuperate.
However, a pillar of incense saw a man walk up to the competition platform and said loudly: "Everyone, the first battle between the Chu family and the Lin family, start!
"Gone. After Chu Lin finished speaking, he jumped onto the competition platform, and a thin man in white with a long knife also jumped onto the stage.
"Chu family, Chu Lin, please advise!"
"Li family, Li Wanqian, please advise. β
As soon as the battle broke out, the long knife in Li Wanqian's hand was instantly unsheathed, and a flash of sword flashed, and Chu Lin's arm had already cut a knife edge, and a drop of blood dripped down.
If he hadn't instinctively taken a step back just now, he would have been cut off instead of just hurting his arm.
"Sure enough, it's a quick knife. Su Mu said secretly in the audience.
But Li Wanqian was not ready to let Chu Lin go, but continued to slash with a knife.
said that it was too late, Chu Lin kicked his feet, and the whole person jumped up and stabbed a sword at the Li family.
Li Wanqian saw that he was hit by a knife, so he hurriedly turned his backhand and put the back of the knife on his right forearm.
"Ding!" he blocked Chu Lin's sword, but because of the excessive force, the competition table under his feet also cracked.
Seeing this, Chu Lin kicked him to the waist with lightning speed.
"Bang!" came out, and Li Wanqian was knocked back several meters.
Seeing this, Chu Lin stabbed at him again, but Li Wanqian's figure flashed, and a sword light as fast as lightning slashed through the air.
With a pop, he only heard the sound of a long knife cutting through the flesh, and saw a bloody mark on Chu Lin's back that was deep and bone-seeing.
