Chapter 36: Emergencies
The competition for the position of the leader of the beggar gang became more and more fierce, from mutual suspicion at the beginning, to verbal abuse, and finally to an open competition. All the people who were invited were present, and they were all well-known figures in Suzhou, including the hostile forces of the beggar gang, Humen and his party, Jianghu knights, Mei Ruoxue, Dong Xiang, and Guo Yitian.
This competition is related to the future of the beggar gang and the unity of martial arts. This is a battle for status, the king is defeated, and the two sides of the competition also sign a life and death certificate. In line with the principle of not thinking about the excitement, heroes from all walks of life have a supportive party.
The ring has been set up, just five miles east of Suzhou City. This ring has experienced too much killing and blood, and it is also the host of the world's first martial arts competition. The ring is surrounded on three sides by a half-height fence to prevent outsiders from intervening in the game. At the back of the ring is a rest area for the jousters or seats for the most respectable figures. In Suzhou City, only the father and son of Qianli, the north and south helmsmen, and Guo Yitian are qualified to sit down.
There is no referee in the match, and the team that is killed is considered the loser. Raising a white flag is also considered a loser, but it depends on whether the winner accepts it. If both sides lose and they don't want to continue to fight, the people in the backstage seats also have the right to vote. The minority obeys the majority, and each of their votes is crucial, determining the succession of the leader of the beggar gang and the survival of both sides of the competition.
Before the game started, the audience was noisy.
"The Empty Gang Master is a first-class master, and it is more than enough to deal with the second Li Helm Master!"
"That's not necessarily, although the Empty Ming Fist created by the Empty Helm Lord is the nemesis of the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon, but who has seen the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon? ”
"The Lord of the Helmsman is a good man, and he gives dignity to the beggars who beg everywhere. If he doesn't succeed in defeating Lord Li Helm, heaven will not tolerate it!"
"You can't make assumptions about everything, strength is the first right to speak. ”
Kong Ming took out a dog-beating stick and said loudly: "This is the treasure of the beggar gang, and the person who owns this stick is to see the gang leader himself!"
"But you are not good at learning, and even if you have this stick, you will not be able to exert its true power. It's better to give it to me, and maybe I'll show mercy to you, so that you don't embarrass in public. Li Chaofan's contempt was mixed with a bit of conceit.
"You actually dare to insult the dog beating stick, now I want to do it for the heavens, clean up you, a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky!" Kong Ming was furious, and the battle was about to break out.
"I didn't say that the dog stick is not beaten, what I want to say is that you don't deserve it!" Li Chaofan argued.
"Less nonsense! After speaking, Kong Ming flew directly to Li Chaofan, brandishing a dog-beating stick, and his indomitable courage attracted countless fans.
"Come on, come on, air gang leader" In the audience, most of the people were waving their flags and shouting for Kong Ming, cheering one after another, and the sound waves affected the nerves of every audience.
In close combat, Li Chaofan's big sword was invincible, and the empty light that hit him retreated one after another.
"Bang bang" Kong Ming saw the move, although he was at a disadvantage, but he still wanted to fight back. Li Chaofan did not give his opponent a chance to breathe, and pursued the victory. Kong Ming only has the ability to parry, but he has no power to fight back.
The hearts of the audience were clenched together, and they even held their breath.
Then, Li Chaofan didn't leave any chance for Kong Ming. Three knives down, although Kong Ming tried his best to dodge left and right, but his arm and arm were stabbed three times, blood continued to drip to the ground, and his clothes were already dyed red.
Kong Ming flew back two feet away, and Li Chaofan immediately launched a big move to fly the fire meteor. Two fist-sized flames struck at Kong Ming, who flipped on his side and dodged a catastrophe.
However, at this moment, Li Chaofan had already flown in front of Kong Ming, and the direction of the big sword was invincible. The fight was defeated and retreated, and he couldn't use his full strength to use the dog-beating stick method. Although the dog-beating stick method is one of the three uniques, there are only a few people who can fully exert his power, and they have all passed away. Cao Yang is barely one, he is just a half-ass. Not only does it corrupt the gang rules, but it also hurts morals.
"Zen gave up the position of the helper, and now it's too late to beg for mercy. Li Chaofan was aggressive while using a big knife.
"Even if I die in battle, I won't give way, you still die of this heart!"
"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Li Chaofan seems to be determined to kill Kong Ming.
After five more moves like this, when the dog-beating stick was infinitely close to Li Chaofan's chest, the opponent's big knife had already pierced into Kong Ming's chest for several inches, and blood flowed all over the ground.
The crowd couldn't stand it anymore, and the shouts were replaced by voices of opposition, which sounded particularly harsh.
"Miss, let's go back, I'm afraid that the empty gang leader will die in the ring. Fuyuka covered her eyes with her hands, not wanting to see this bloody scene.
"No! I'm going to see the final result. Mei Ruoxue refused.
"The Empty Gang Master is already at the end of his crossbow, so why bother watching that sad scene again?" asked Dongxue.
"Until the end, no one knows how far the story will go!" Mei Ruoxue firmly believes that the empty gang leader is capable of turning the tide, and Dongxiang has no choice but to accompany her to be hopeless.
Li Chaofan's vertical knife used his big move, the Shadow of the Dark Moon, and Kong Ming tried his best to block it with a dog beating stick, and time stopped. The blade slashed at the dog-beating stick, and almost everyone predicted that the broadsword would be broken or bounced off due to the reaction force of the dog-beating stick.
But they were all wrong, and the dog-beating stick was actually cut in two.
An ordinary knife can actually see the artifact dog beating stick in two, and everyone is shocked and at the same time, there are different opinions below. The same result they got was that this dog-beating stick was an imitation, so Li Chaofan took advantage of the topic and said: "Hmph! You treat us as fools, and you actually use a fake dog-beating stick to fool me." ”
"No! this is impossible, it is obvious that I took the dog-beating stick from the body of that bastard in Cao Yang, how can it be fake?"
The discussion in the audience is getting louder and louder, and it is about to take over. Guan Dadong, who was sitting on the seat, stood up to quell the riot and announced loudly: "Actually, the heir of the new leader of the beggar gang is Li Chaofan, and the real dog beating stick is in him, I don't believe I can send someone to get it from him." ”
Li Chaofan, who was weak-hearted, saw the unyielding momentum of the young master of Humen, and also plucked up the courage to say: "Yes, beggars...... 's heir is me, and the dog beating stick is an ancient artifact, and it can't be shown casually. I am fortunate enough to have so many witnesses today, so I will entrust the people to bring it to the whole of you to see. ”
When the beggars were leaving, they received a gold Humen order, so they ran away with a comprehension, and this scene happened to be discovered by Guo Yitian, who was standing next to the door.
After a long time, the gang brought a dog beating stick and presented it to Li Chaofan. Li Chaofan raised the shining dog-beating stick and shouted: "From now on, I will be the leader of the beggar gang." If you are not convinced by the beggar gang, you can ask me to challenge, and Li Chaofan will accompany you at any time!"
The respected knights on the stage voted four in favor, and only Guo Yitian voted against, but it was no longer enough to shake Li Chaofan's absolute leadership position in the beggar gang.
The audience applauded thunderously, some silently shed tears, some were heartbreaking, some were gloating, and some were addicted to fantasies.
