Chapter 53: Advancing to the Ranking Battle

A young man with a slightly dark face was riding a wildebeest with two horns galloping on the official road of Fuyang County, which immediately attracted the attention of the city gate guards of Fuyang County.

This young man was Zhang Mo, who had been hurrying for a few days, and when he was about to arrive at the county seat, he turned over beautifully and fell directly to the ground.

"Good work, Brother Ma. Zhang Mo smiled and patted the wildebeest's forehead.

The wildebeest hissed in the sky and then turned away.

"How's your recovery from your injuries, Brother Black Feather?" Zhang Mo said as he turned his head to Black Feather who was standing on his shoulder.

"So-so, with the help of your little rejuvenation pill, it will take about another month or two to recover most of it. Black Feather replied, combing his feathers with his beak.

"Can you hide the demonic aura on your body now from being discovered by others?" Zhang Mo asked with some concern.

"Hehe, don't worry, our Dapeng Blackwing Clan has a unique breathing technique, as long as it is not a master above the Yuan Infant Stage, it will not be able to see through my breathing technique at all. Black Feather said quite confidently.

"Oh well. Zhang Mo had already walked to the gate of the city, and he no longer chatted with Hei Yu at the moment, and after stepping forward, he took out a token from his waist, which was the pass token that the Ten Thousand Swords Gang had prepared for him before.

The guard took the token and glanced at it, it was carved with a quaint little sword, which was the mark of the Ten Thousand Swords Gang, and the guard's eyes flashed with a hint of color, and then returned to normal.

"Yes, sir. The guard respectfully returned the token to Zhang Modao.

Zhang Mo didn't notice anything abnormal, took the token and entered the city.

After watching Zhang Mo's figure disappear into the streets of the city, the guard immediately took out a pale yellow paper crane, and after throwing it into the air, the pale yellow paper crane directly turned into a flash of fire and rose into the sky, and finally dissipated into the sky.

About a cup of tea later, in a camp outside Fuyang County, a man with a gloomy expression was holding the pale yellow paper crane with his bare hands, and the corners of his mouth flashed a cruel smile: "If you dare to come back, I will let you know what life is better than death." ”

The main hall of the Ten Thousand Swords Gang, Lei Leopard is walking around in place with a frown, since he was threatened by Sun Qiang half a year ago, he has been worried that Zhang Mo will be killed by Sun Qiang after he returns, Lei Leopard naturally knows the strength of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, he, the person caught in the middle, is the most difficult to do, and it is difficult to escape death if he offends anyone.

"Leopard!" A familiar voice sounded, and Lei Leopard was directly frightened.

Dressed in a cyan robe, with a dark complexion, and a little more perseverance and light in his eyes, it was Zhang Mo who had entered the city before.

"You...... You're back. Lei Leopard's tongue was a little knotted, but it instantly returned to normal, and said with some worry: "Hurry up, someone is going to kill you!"

Zhang Mo's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled slightly and said, "I didn't misunderstand you." ”

Whoa!

Before the thunder leopard could react, there was a sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air.

It was the sound of ** arrows firing in unison, which made Lei Leopard close his eyes in despair.

Zhang Mo snorted, slapped the storage bag and directly took out the Kwai Shui Wood Shield, and even the shield shadow was not stimulated, it was directly infused with spiritual power, and the palm-sized Kwai Shui Wood Shield directly swelled into a brown wooden shield more than half a person high, and then the brown wooden shield swirled around Zhang Mo and Lei Leopard.

Ding! Ding!

After a series of sounds like swords cutting jade, all those ** arrows were bounced to the ground, and none of the arrows could cause a trace of scars to the Aoi Shui Mu Shield, and there were not even traces on it.

Lei Leopard opened his eyes in disbelief, and said with a little excitement: "The strength of the Immortal is so strong, it is really gratifying. ”

Zhang Mo frowned and said, "Don't be too happy too early, their heads should be almost there." ”

"You're right, boy, I've arrived!" As soon as Zhang Mo's words fell, a sound like thunder sounded in everyone's ears.

Then a middle-aged man dressed in a Confucian robe and smelling of blood came with a quaint book.

It was Sun Qiang, who had found Lei Leopard half a year ago, and I don't know how he stayed here and hasn't left until now.

"Who is Your Excellency, I don't seem to have offended you?" Zhang Mo asked with some confusion as soon as he saw the appearance of the middle-aged man.

"I am Sun Fu's brother, you killed Sun Fu in Luofengpo half a year ago, right?" Sun Qiang asked with an unkind face.

"I didn't kill people. Zhang Mo didn't want to get involved in a senseless fight, so he immediately denied it, not to mention that Sun Fu really didn't die in his hands.

"Oh, then how did he die?" Sun Qiang's expression on his face changed slightly, from perceiving that Zhang Mo only had a sixth-level Qi cultivation level, Sun Qiang's heart was murderous, but there was no slack in his hands, and the golden judge's pen was condensing spiritual power, and it seemed that this guy was thinking of a sneak attack.

Zhang Mo naturally also noticed Sun Qiang's actions, but Zhang Mo, who had a Kwai Shuimu shield in his hand, didn't care about Sun Qiang's small actions at all, when Sun Qiang came in just now, Zhang Mo had checked his strength with his pearl spirit eyes, but it was just an eighth-layer strength of Qi training, and there was nothing to fear for Zhang Mo at all.

"If you want to sneak attack, don't bother so much effort to ask. Zhang Mo said teasingly, and at the same time, the spiritual power poured into the Kwai Shui Wood Shield, and a light blue one-person high shield shadow immediately appeared in front of him.

"Look for death!" Sun Qiang saw that his trick was discovered, and his true form was immediately revealed, and he viciously moved the judge's pen a little forward, and a golden ink dot appeared in mid-air, and then smashed into Zhang Mo's Kwai Shuimu shield shield shadow at a very fast speed.

Zhang Mo had a Kwai Shuimu shield to protect himself, so he was naturally not worried about Sun Qiang's attack, he slapped the storage bag and took out the Huoyun Sword, and under the infusion of spiritual power, a dark red sword light immediately emitted from the Huoyun Sword, and this sword light left the sword body and turned into a dark red sword mark and slashed directly at Sun Qiang.

"Top-level magic weapon!" Sun Qiang also knew the goods, and as soon as he saw Zhang Mo take out the Huoyun Sword, he immediately lost his voice and shouted, "This magic weapon of yours seems to be a Dao Sect thing, but aren't you a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"

Kiss!

With a muffled sound, Sun Qiang's drop of golden ink shadow hit Zhang Mo's pale blue shield shadow, which could only cause a ripple before it dissipated.

And Zhang Mo's dark red sword mark slashed firmly on a heart shield that Sun Qiang sacrificed, making a buzzing sound, and a sword mark appeared directly on the bronze heart guard, which made Sun Qiang's heart ache to see it.

When Zhang Mo raised the Huoyun Sword in his hand and was about to give Sun Qiang another blow, Sun Qiang, who was still domineering, directly surrendered and said: "Daoyou's subordinates are merciful, although Daoyou has the ability to kill Xia, but Daoyou will also provoke our Confucianism, why don't I compensate some spirit stones to Daoyou as compensation, and please let Daoyou go." ”

"Okay, you bring a million spirit stones, and this matter will be settled. Zhang Mo retracted the Huoyun Sword and said.

"One million spirit stones, Daoyou are too much to look up to. Sun Qiang said with a bitter face, "I can only take out a maximum of 600,000 spirit stones, and I need to go back and ask my friends in the army to borrow some." ”

"Okay, 600,000 is 600,000, you can send it as soon as possible. "Zhang Mo is not verbose, he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, this Sun Qiang in front of him can bend and stretch, he is a typical villain, offend him, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future, if you kill him directly, I am afraid it will really attract the attention of Confucianism, Zhang Mo does not want to offend the forces that he can't cope with with his current strength.

"Daoyou is really kind-hearted. Sun Qiang's eyes rolled, and he originally invited his friends in the army to help him save face, but Zhang Mo was so cheerful that he was embarrassed to have more complications, "I said goodbye first." ”

Zhang Mo didn't stop him and let Sun Qiang leave.

After Sun Qiang left, Lei Bao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Shangxian is really wise, this Sun Qiang is not only a member of Confucianism, but also a famous travelogue general in the imperial court, if he is killed, not only will Confucianism find trouble with Shangxian, but even the imperial court cannot sit idly by." ”

"Oh, by the way, there was a flying crane transmission in the secret room of the immortals before, please go and check it out. Lei Leopard patted his head and said.

Zhang Mo accepted the Kwai Shui Mu Shield, then threw a porcelain bottle to Lei Bao and said: "This contains five small rejuvenation pills and five continuation pills, the small rejuvenation pill can treat injuries, and the continuation pill can continue to connect broken limbs, you can accept it." ”

"Thank you Shangxian!" Lei Bao accepted the porcelain vase with an excited expression, and secretly congratulated himself in his heart that he had made the right choice.

"Okay, it's okay, you can go down first. Zhang Mo ordered the eviction.

"The immortals can call me when they need it. Lei Leopard retreated with joy.

After Lei Leopard left, Zhang Mo pushed open the door of the secret room, and there was a paper crane wrapped in a faint firelight inside.

Zhang Mo stepped forward and stretched out his hand, the firelight immediately dispersed, and the paper crane rushed towards him, as soon as Zhang Mo grasped it, Zhang Mo's face showed a cloudy and uncertain expression after a while.

"The annual ranked battle actually began, and the door asked me to go back to participate in the ranked battle. Zhang Mo discussed with Venerable Poison. "And this time, in addition to the ranking battle, there is also a promotion battle, which is prepared for us new disciples who have entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the top three in this promotion battle have the opportunity to become the elder's disciples, the fourth to fifth can directly become elite disciples, and the sixth to tenth can directly become inner disciples. ”

"Go, the poison arrow wood won't run away with long legs again, if you can be favored by the elders in the door, it would be good if you were accepted as a disciple. The Poison Venerable did not object: "The foundation of the Qi refining period still needs to be laid, and it is also good to practice the Ten Thousand Sword Technique." ”

"Hey, I hope so, it is said that although the promotion battle is arranged for new disciples, there is no restriction on the participation of other senior brothers in the sect, so even if there are fifteen senior brothers who practice qi in the promotion battle, it is not surprising, with my current strength, although I have the strength to defeat them, but I have to use the Yin Fire Thunder Bead to do it, if it is not enough to rely on the Fire Cloud Sword alone. Zhang Mo said with some frustration.
