Afterglow of the sunset.

Somewhere in the mountains behind the outer courtyard, a figure flickered strangely and quickly, accompanied by a knife shadow as fast as lightning.

The shadow of the knife is like the wind, and the thunder is displayed between the big opening and closing.

That figure was Jiang Huan, who was almost selfless practicing.

Tomorrow, the day of the big competition in the outer courtyard, is now the last preparation for his "temporary cramming".

Suddenly, Jiang Huan's figure froze slightly, and at the same time, the half-cut knife in his hand slashed towards a large stone not far away with lightning speed.

"Bang!"

The remnant knife instantly plunged into the stone, splitting the large stone in two as if it were cutting tofu.

Jiang Huan slowly put away the remnant knife, his eyes lingered on the smooth and flat incision of the big stone for a few breaths, and the corners of his mouth were slightly more faintly smiling. After two days of almost crazy practice, the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique finally barely reached the realm of perfection, and its power was obviously a step higher than the previous realm of Dacheng.

At the same time, his Ling Bo microstep has also improved a lot after a period of training, although it has not yet reached the Xiaocheng realm, but it is already a lot away.

"With my current strength, it shouldn't be a problem to win the top three in the outer courtyard. ”

Jiang Huan did not continue to practice, but put the remnant knife into the storage bag, and secretly calculated in his heart, he was still quite confident in his current strength.

After quietly watching the magnificent sunset for a while, Jiang Huan dragged a long afterimage out of the back mountain.

The next morning, Jiang Huan arrived at the outer courtyard in advance.

The martial arts arena is extremely open, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and it is the venue of the outer courtyard.

However, today's martial arts arena is slightly special, twenty battle platforms have risen all over the venue, and the entire martial arts arena has been immersed in a hot scene, thousands of Spirit Sword Sect disciples have gathered in it, in addition to the outer disciples, there are also a large number of miscellaneous disciples and a small number of inner disciples.

The disciples in the hall formed groups of three or five to discuss, and the content of the discussion was basically related to the big competition in the outer courtyard.

"Today's big competition in the outer courtyard is really lively, and the number of people in this square alone is nearly one-third more than last year's small competition. ”

"Yes, I heard that there are more than 1,200 people who have signed up for the big competition today. ”

"There are hundreds more than last year's Xiaobi, but most of them are probably just joining in the fun, if you want to enter the top 100, I'm afraid you need to practice at least the ninth level of Qi cultivation. ”

"It's hard to say about the ninth layer of Qi training, it is said that there are more than seventy disciples at the tenth level of Qi cultivation just participating in the Great Competition in the Outer Courtyard this time, and this does not exclude some people with hidden strength, and I am afraid that entering the top 100 requires at least the strength of the peak of the ninth layer of Qi training, and it also requires some luck. ”

"Then this time the outer courtyard has to be seen, I don't know who will finally get the top three, tsk, the top three can have Juyuan Dan as a reward. ”

......

Along the way, Jiang Huan heard a lot of relevant discussions about the big competition in the outer courtyard.

Jiang Huan walked through the crowd and finally arrived at the special area for the contestants in the outer courtyard, and showed the number plate of the competition to enter.

However, as soon as Jiang Huan walked into the contestant area, he met an "acquaintance." ”

"It's you!"

Standing in front of Jiang Huan was a woman in pink, with a delicate and lovely face, a delicate figure, and a full scenery under her white neck.

This woman is Shangguan Feidie, the ninth princess of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Together with Shangguan Feidie, there are several other girls, among which the most eye-catching girl in blue is faintly above Shangguan Feidie, with bright autumn eyes, a pretty nose, and skin like condensation, which is a rare beauty embryo.

Jiang Huan recognized the girl in pink at a glance, it was the girl he met with a special sword body in the mountain behind the outer courtyard, and his gaze subconsciously glanced at the other's chest The vulgar scenery.

Shangguan Feidie's bright eyes increased sharply, Jiang Huan's every move she saw in her eyes, especially when she looked at her proud chest, that glance could not escape her eyes, thinking of the thin buttocks of the other party in the back mountain of the outer courtyard, her pretty face couldn't help flashing a trace of shyness, and at the same time, anger emerged, she bit lightly, and snorted: "Stinky hooligan, don't let me touch you in the game, be careful to blind your dog eyes." ”

"Really?"

Jiang Huan's face was calm, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his words were full of doubts.

Shangguan Feidie said coldly: "Hmph, you'll know when the time comes." ”

Saying this, Shangguan Feidie is still quite confident, in recent months, under the effect of the elixir, her cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and she has been promoted from the peak level of the eighth layer of qi training to the late stage of the tenth layer of qi training today, coupled with her sword skills in the realm of Xiaocheng and the special sword intent that she has comprehended, her strength can completely match those who are at the peak of the tenth layer of qi training. This time, she rushed into the top ten in the outer courtyard competition, although she lost to the other party in the battle with Jiang Huan at the beginning, but now she thinks that this stinky hooligan in front of her is no longer her opponent.

Jiang Huan said lightly: "I am looking forward to it!"

Shangguan Feidie snorted lightly, but didn't pay attention to Jiang Huan anymore.

Jiang Huan walked away.

"Sister Flying Butterfly, what's wrong?"

The blue-clad girl on the side actually realized that the atmosphere was wrong for the first time, but she didn't interject in a hurry, but waited for Jiang Huan to walk away before asking softly.

Shangguan Feidie glared at Jiang Huan's back and replied softly, "It's okay, it's just that I ran into a stinky hooligan." By the way, if Sister Ziling meets this guy in the competition, she must teach him a good lesson on my behalf. ”

Mu Ziling shook his head secretly, and said softly: "It seems that you have a lot of grudges with him, looking at his appearance, it seems that it is the first time I have seen him, I don't know what his strength is?"

Shangguan Feidie said: "I don't know very well, I have fought with him before, and his strength should be at the peak of the ninth layer or the early level of the tenth layer, as for the middle of the tenth layer now." ”

A hint of surprise flashed on Mu Ziling's delicate face, she was still quite familiar with the circle of outer disciples, she basically knew that the tenth-level disciples who participated in the outer courtyard competition this time were not within the scope of his knowledge, but she was just a trace of accident, and she didn't take it to heart.

In the past year, she has hit the Juyuan Realm three times, but all of them ended in failure, which made her quite distressed, after all, each impact failure will cause a certain degree of irreversible damage to the qi veins, and the probability of success of the next impact will be reduced, that is to say, the more times the impact is, the smaller the probability of successful breakthrough, which is also an important reason why many Qi cultivators cannot break through the Juyuan Realm.

Normally, if a Qi cultivator fails to attack the Juyuan Realm more than ten times, it means that it will be difficult to break through in this life, because the multiple impact failures have seriously damaged the Qi veins in the body. Ordinary pills can't repair this kind of qi and vein damage at all, and some special pills and heavenly treasures with repair ability are extremely precious, who would want to waste it on a qi cultivator who can't break through many times?
