On the first day of the preliminary competition, Yan Long walked out of the "pigeon cage".
The so-called "pigeon cage" is also a separate cell prepared by the Imperial Prison for the participating warriors during the fight, and there is nothing in the cell except a bed and a toilet, which is almost as small as a pigeon cage, hence the name.
During the ring competition, living in the "pigeon cage" also meant that he was completely isolated from Ran Tianci and had no chance to assassinate him. But this was not a bad thing for Yan Long, because he could instead focus more on his current cultivation.
In addition to Ran Tianci, the Blood Salt Gang did not participate, Chen Feng participated in the competition of the high-level of the Houtian Realm, Ximen Rou participated in the competition of the mid-level group of the Houtian Realm, and the two high-level hall masters of the other two warehouses of the Blood Salt Gang also participated in the competition of the corresponding group.
On this day, on the bloody punishment school ground of the Imperial Prison, ten rings were framed directly on the bluestone ground with iron pillars and chains.
Although the ten rings were lined up and far apart, the school field still seemed empty.
All around the school grounds, the banners of the brocade guards were erected, and they sounded in the fierce wind, like a horn whimpering before death.
On the high platform in the north still sat Liu Qiao, the commander of Jinyiwei, and beside him were Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, Zhang Yang, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, Gu Dayong, the commander of Dongchang, Jiang Wei, the criminal prison department of Jinyi Weibei Town, and other officials and officials representing all forces.
On the east side of the school grounds, a temporary high platform was erected, which was filled with seats, drinks and food. This is a viewing platform for gamblers who gamble more than 500,000 taels of silver.
On the west side of the school grounds, a high platform was also built, which was full of seats, but unlike the east platform, there was no food and drink, only iron pillars buried deep in the ground penetrated directly to the top of the high platform, and iron rings were cast on the iron pillars, which were used to tie iron chains.
The people on this high platform are the bosses of the gangs in the prison warehouse and important people in the gangs.
Although you can watch the battle, you must be locked with shackles and bolted to iron pillars to prevent riots and take precautions for safety.
There are high platforms on three sides.
All that remains of the school field is the last south side.
It is used for the entry and exit of participating prisoners.
ββCommonly known as the "Gate of Life and Death"!
Because those who come in and out of here, the victor lives, and the loser dies, with few exceptions.
The match between Yan Long and He Sheng was scheduled for the first game.
This is what Liu Qiao meant.
He Sheng appeared.
He was short, with thick hands and feet, and his palms and fingers were like a nail rake. His face was covered with yellow spots, his eyes were red, and there were some white puffs on them.
When he stood in the ring, he was like a quiet turtle, as if the world had been cut off from him.
He didn't seem to want to hurt anyone in the world.
However, Yan Long knew that He Sheng would either not make a move, and once he did, there would only be two results, either he would die or he would die.
The time of the half-pillar incense is only fifteen minutes, starting from the gong on the sidelines, when the incense is about to burn out, the referee on the sidelines will ring the gong to remind that it is limited to ten rings, if the last sound is finished, He Sheng is still alive, Yan Long will lose.
The gong is ringing!
Yan Long immediately attacked.
In this pre-game draw, they drew a lot of life and death without weapons, that is, they used fists and kicks to fight until one side died.
With He Sheng's horizontal internal skills and Shui Yunbu, as long as he survives for fifteen minutes, he wins.
Yan Long's most accustomed martial arts now, in addition to the Overlord Hammer Method, are only the grappling hands and acupoint hands that he was familiar with when he was a professional killer in his previous life.
So he stepped out with an arrow, his right hand was like a hook, and he grabbed He Sheng's left wrist, and his left thumb pointed at He Sheng's Shenque acupoint.
There is no false move in this move, the attacks of both hands are directly aimed at the target, and the person who relies on it is just speed!
Yan Long's current internal force is as full as a river churning, and the sun is rushing into the sky, so abundant internal force, when he uses it to use a small grapple, it seems that he is light and clumsy.
He Sheng couldn't escape at all, and his left wrist was pinched all of a sudden. Yan Long was trying to exert his strength and restrain his left hand.
He Sheng's wrist suddenly looked like a loach, flexible and slippery, there was no way to focus at all, once the wrist broke free, his whole body burst out like a turtle shell-like qi, his body kept rotating, Yan Long hit his Shenque acupoint's finger wind, was completely deflected, and made a blunt collision sound of "click", but He Sheng did not have any damage.
Yan Long sneered. Suddenly changed his moves, replaced the hammer with his palm, and used the double dragon in the overlord hammer method to make trouble, and the palms were from bottom to top, from the outside to the inside, forming a small range of combined attack aura, and slashing He Sheng's neck.
His move was extremely powerful, and once he used it, in the ring, Gangfeng suddenly burst out like a hurricane, and the air was rubbed by the palm of his hand to make a hunting sound.
He Sheng was in the ring, surrounded by Yan Long's palm, and he couldn't break out at all, but he was very good, I saw that his body was spinning like a spinning top, but with a kick of his feet, the person had already risen into the air.
As soon as Yan Long raised his palm, the person had already jumped to the top of He Sheng's head, and his fists smashed straight down.
The top of He Sheng's head was under Yan Long's fist, and it looked as if He Sheng hit Yan Long's fist with his head.
......
Liu Qiao sat on the high platform in the north, watching the development of the situation on the field, seeing that Yan Long had the upper hand, his eyes flashed, and he said to Zhang Yang and Xu Xianchun beside him: "It's just more than a month, Yan Long's martial arts have improved a lot, with his progress, I'm afraid that he will soon break through to the high level of the acquired realm." β
Zhang Yang said: "From a scholar who has no martial arts, after several mutations, he has already become one of the first-class masters in the middle level of the Heavenly Realm, this Yan Gongzi is really amazing." β
Xu Xianchun sneered: "No matter how amazing it is, in September, it will be just a killing." β
Zhang Yang said secretly: "Yes, I just hope he can die a well-deserved death." β
At this time, Qianhu Gu, the head of the East Factory, who had been listening to them on the side, interjected: "Although this Yan Long is aggressive, he may not be able to kill He Sheng within the specified time!"
"Oh, how can I see it!" Xu Xianchun said.
Gu Dayong was also a Jinyi guard officer, and was later transferred to Dongchang to be the head of a thousand households, in terms of position, he was second only to the governor of Dongchang, so although he was only a thousand households, he also sat on Liu Qiao's side, closer to the center than Xu Xianchun's position.
Gu Da's face is like a heavy jujube, with a long beard and chest, long eyebrows and thin eyes, and he looks quite public, and what he says is also in the middle of the word, objective and fair.
"Yan Long's every offensive is like Huang Zhong Dalu, fierce and fierce, after a long time, He Sheng may not be able to resist, but this ring match has a time limit. He Sheng practiced kung fu to protect himself, and used Shui Yunbu's moving body method to unfold it, faintly having the taste of Tai Chi borrowing strength to unload his strength, unless Yan Long had a special method to break his fighting style, it would be difficult to escape the ending of losing the ring match. And now there's only a fraction of the time left. Gu Da said.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the half pillar of incense in front of the ring.
Due to the wind, the incense burns very quickly, and only half of it is left.
The timing is based on the burning of incense, but affected by the on-site conditions, the speed of incense burning is fast or slow, and the time is long or short, and this influence is of course also included in the factors of winning in the ring.
