Chapter 24: Snatching the Candle
As a major merchant in Feiyan City, the Zhang family is sure to have money, and after entering the gate, what comes into view is a huge square with a length and width of 100 meters.
The square is full of martial artists of different shapes.
Shi Xiaole's appearance aroused many people's ideas.
Where did this child come from, his hair didn't grow up, and he dared to apply for the position of a guard, he really didn't know how thick the sky was.
The noise lasted for about half an hour, and a somewhat wealthy middle-aged man, surrounded by a group of nursing masters, came to the front of the square.
"Heroes, Zhang would like to thank you for coming. ”
Zhang Yuanshan learned from the appearance of a martial arts person, hugged his fists, and then said: "This time escorting the little girl to the Thousand Poison Mountain, it is really a last resort, in order to deal with the danger, so Zhang wants to select the strongest ten people among the people present, and the heroes who have not been selected, I hope you don't mind." ”
Quite a few people snorted.
They are confident in themselves and don't feel like they're going to lose to others.
A rough man with a knife said: "Don't talk nonsense, Zhang Yuanwai, how do you want to choose?"
Zhang Yuanwai smiled and waved his hand, and several nurses placed ten candles on the table not far away.
"The rules are simple, the people present are free to divide into ten groups, and in each group, by any means, whoever can grab a candle first will stay. ”
Shi Xiaole was stunned, and immediately understood.
This Zhang Yuanshan is worthy of being in business, and he is really cunning.
He didn't make any one-on-one competition, but instead made a candle grabbing competition, which seemed to have no rules, but in fact, in the process of scrambling, it tested everyone's adaptability, melee ability and survivability.
Even the previous grouping was crucial, and it tested the eyesight.
Breaking through the rivers and lakes, it is not who has high martial arts, who has good ability to do things, and can live for a long time. More importantly, it is comprehensive ability.
Shi Xiaole understood, and many old rivers and lakes also understood, and his gaze changed a little when he looked at Zhang Yuanshan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections?"
Zhang Yuanshan asked loudly, and when he saw that no one responded, he said, "Since this is the case, let's start." ”
After saying this, he looked at it with his hands behind his back, and did not tell everyone how to group them, just as if he could do anything.
There was a brief silence in the room.
After a while, a figure took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and flew out violently, like an arrow, grabbing one of the candles.
"Leave it to me. ”
Someone roared, and it turned out to be the rough man who spoke first. I saw him come out of the crowd, and the long knife in his hand shook it hard, and with a sonorous sound, it was inserted into the ground for more than three inches, just blocking the way of the figure.
The figure was blocked, the movement was slightly sluggish, and the rough man had already arrived, his five fingers stretched out, covering the shoulders of the figure.
"Hehe, I'm waiting for you, let's go back. ”
Unexpectedly, the figure is not good at stubble, and it turns out that the previous appearance is fake. I don't know when, he deducted five darts in his hand and threw them towards the five big holes of the rough man.
Caught off guard, someone from behind him was already screaming.
However, the figure underestimated the skill of the rough man after all, and an extra suction force appeared out of thin air in his palm, which made the dart shift its position.
Then he grabbed it hard, and while throwing out the figure, he also took advantage of the forward momentum to successfully get the first candle.
"Good!"
The scene resounded with fierce cheers. Even Zhang Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction.
But before the cheering was over, the second candle was also picked. The person who did it was the thin figure who was thrown away by the rough man before.
"Sun Ting on the grass, you are cheating!"
Many of the people present were local warriors, and some people recognized the identity of the thin figure and immediately shouted loudly, so angry that they couldn't do it.
Sun Ting smiled and said proudly: "Zhang Yuanwai didn't say that if you fail the first time, you can't try the second time." ”
Everyone looked at Zhang Yuanwai, and Zhang Yuanwai nodded: "This Sun Zhuangshi is also considered to have passed the test." ”
This exploded, and everyone's minds came out of their minds, some people secretly detained hidden weapons, some people secretly prepared poison, and more people rushed towards the candles.
There was a scuffle at the scene.
The sound of swords, fists and palms, hidden weapons breaking the air, angry reprimands, and coquettish shouts played an unusually chaotic symphony.
Some people were injured and fell to the ground, while others overcame obstacles. At this time, everyone is like crazy, doing everything they can, and they all want to get a candle.
Some people even had the audacity to hit the idea on the heads of the rough men and Sun Ting. If you can do whatever it takes, why can't you grab the candles that have already been obtained!
"I want to plot against Dong, there is such a person. ”
The rough man's face was cold, and with a single sword, he slashed a sneak attack of the Hidden Qi Sevenfold Master into a bloody body, and fell to the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, scaring off many people.
As for Sun Ting, he walked through the crowd with his extraordinary light skills, and no one could help him.
"The third candle is my Wang Yangming's. ”
A very young man in white, holding a Ruyi golden gun, quickly connected a few times, repelled the two sevenfold masters of hidden qi, and grabbed the third candle.
"He is Wang Yangming, the Ruyi Little Gun King who has recently become famous?"
"It's really powerful, this person's strength is close to that of an ordinary eightfold master of Tibetan Qi. ”
In the ensuing scuffle, the fourth candle was snatched away by a young woman in red.
The fifth candle fell into the hands of a middle-aged man who did not look amazing.
The sixth candle was given to an old man with gray hair.
There was also a monk, an old woman, and a hoe man, who also grabbed a candle each.
At this time, everyone present was basically injured, retreated, and became spectators, leaving only a dozen of the most calm people, standing in the distance and not moving.
"This ** cunning person. ”
Many people scolded secretly, but they actually regretted that they were not determined enough, but they were taken advantage of by these dozen people.
"Hehe, several, if you don't have an opinion, the remaining candle will be decided by me with one sword, and Zhao Deming will contract. ”
A man in his thirties strode out, his eyes squinting at the crowd.
Zhao Deming paid careful attention to it just now, and among the remaining dozen or so people, except for one Taoist priest who was a little threatening to himself, the rest of them were not worried.
So at this moment he stood up and directly declared his sovereignty.
"Zhao Daxia, you can't help but take us too seriously. Ladies and gentlemen, how about we cooperate once and get Zhao Daxia down first?"
The Taoist priest stepped out, encouraging everyone.
Zhao Deming is very famous in the nearby scattered cultivation, this person has the cultivation of the eightfold hidden qi, and his swordsmanship is also amazing. In fact, when he reported his name, some people were already desperate.
"Stinky bull's nose, dare to play tricks, look for death. ”
Zhao Deming stabbed at the Taoist priest with a sword, and the tip of the sword shook like a poisonous snake, instantly killing the Taoist priest left and right, and retreated.
"The swordsmanship of the small phase. ”
Shi Xiaole took a light breath.
There is no doubt that in terms of strength, Zhao Deming is stronger than Xue Long of Moyun City, and he is indeed a tricky opponent.
With three sonorous swords, Zhao Deming easily stabbed the Taoist priest and stood with his sword.
The Taoist priest's face turned pale for a while. He thought that there was a gap between himself and Zhao Deming, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big.
"Don't feel uncomfortable!"
Zhao Deming seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually warning the remaining few people, and then he didn't look at it, walked directly to the long table opposite, and reached out to get the last candle.
Up to now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the tenth candle will fall into Zhao Deming's hands.
"Stop. ”
Who knew that at this moment, someone spoke again without knowing whether he was alive or dead, it was Shi Xiaole in a green shirt.
"Boy, it seems that Zhao was too merciful before, making you think that the consequences of provoking me three times and twice were only slightly injured, right?"
Zhao Deming turned around, and his face suddenly sank.
When did he start to make a name for himself with a sword, and he couldn't even control a little hairy child? Could it be because he has made too few moves recently?
When the distance between the two sides was only two feet, many people at the scene showed a look of interest.
Because they could see that it seemed that Shi Xiaole was really not afraid at all, and Zhao Deming's momentum had no effect on him.
"Get down on my knees. ”
Zhao Deming was furious, and pulled out a sword towards Shi Xiaole, the tip of the sword was like a poisonous snake out of a hole, which was the move to defeat the Taoist priest.
The difference is that this time Zhao Deming used seventy percent of his strength, and aimed at Shi Xiaole's knees, it seemed that he was going to abolish his legs.
The tip of the sword attacked, Shi Xiaole pulled out his sword, and with a sonorous sound, with the blessing of ten percent of the internal force of Bao Yuanjin, the Hundred Battle Knife suddenly made Zhao Deming's sword lose its discipline, as if a poisonous snake was pinched by seven inches.
Without waiting for Zhao Deming to react, Shi Xiaole's momentum was like a rainbow, and he used a hundred battle sword techniques in a row, forcing the opponent to the left and right, and in the sneer, he continuously slashed the opponent's arms and shoulders.
"Good knife technique!"
"The knife technique is wonderful, the person is even better, it is actually the knife technique of the complete transformation, who knows what the origin of this young man is?"
Everyone was very surprised, surprised by Shi Xiaole's talent.
The white-clothed son Wang Yangming was even more scorching, and there was a strong layer of war intent hidden in the depths.
The Hundred Battles Sword Technique is a continuous sword technique, and once it is suppressed, it is difficult to find an opportunity to fight back unless the skill is too powerful.
Zhao Deming suffered a lot for this. He is also a ruthless person, at a certain moment, he was slashed next to the shoulder, and his right hand was instantly liberated, and he used the strongest killing move in his life.
Dare to let him Zhao Deming lose face in public, he wants to let this kid die without a place to be buried!
The terrifying sword light trembled, shaking the eyes of many people around, if it were them, I am afraid that they would have died under this sword a long time ago.
However, Shi Xiaole's face was not panicked, but his left hand slapped a few times towards the void without a trace.
In an instant, an invisible force shrouded Zhao Deming's surroundings, causing him to twist his wrist, and the speed and power of his sword moves were greatly reduced at the same time.
"Not good!"
Zhao Deming shouted and hurriedly retreated.
It's a pity that Shi Xiaole's knife is faster than him, and the blood-red knife flashed, and Zhao Deming's whole person had already flown out ten meters away, and a knife mark on his chest was very terrifying.
