Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tournament

"Hehe, the two little young masters have rested and are preparing for tomorrow's martial arts competition, and tomorrow the imperial court will also send ministers to come to officially canonize. Ling Xiaotian was still smiling, in fact, everyone knew that it was really difficult to choose a balanced candidate among the three parties of King Yong'an, the Great Prince, and the Tianluo Sword Sect! "This is not a martial arts competition as usual, and the specific method will have to wait for tomorrow when the people from the court and the sect leader and elders will discuss it!"

"After deliberation, it will be decided?" The guests were also expected, how could they be so hasty this time, as usual, after winning the competition of their own sect, they would compete with their peers in the outside world to show their humility. It must be to satisfy the three parties, and maybe one person will be chosen by the outside world to be named false, and then under the supervision of the Council of Elders, it seems that this kind of situation is the most serious.

Early in the morning of the second day, everyone was invited to the martial arts training ground, today's martial arts training ground is extraordinarily wide, on a viewing platform that has just been erected, Huang Yi and other guests are sitting, and a few chairs in the middle seem to be waiting for important people to arrive, finally, in the bottom of the disciples and the entourage of the people, the sect master of the Tianluo Sword Sect appeared, and then came together with two people from the court, one is Huang Yi in the Huangfu celebration banquet to see the Anjun King Liu Ziqing and a purple robe old man, the purple official robe is a sign of a very human minister in Daxia, the current person is the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites Zhang Qian, who is friendly to the princeใ€‚

"Welcome to my Tianluo Sword Sect to watch the ceremony, I believe everyone knows that the old man's deadline is approaching, and he still hasn't taken the last step to live a hundred years old, life is like this!" The sect master first sighed with emotion, and the crowd below sighed, thinking that the sect master of the Tianluo Sword Sect was also a hero, and the martial arts were unfathomable, and he still couldn't escape the hands of death. The avenue is endless, and it is all yearning.

"But the old man has no regrets, the old man has succeeded as the sect master of the Tianluo Sword Sect for more than 30 years, and he has done his best without any indignity. Now that I am about to return, may my Tianluo Sword Sect have an excellent heir to lead, Ling Jian and Mo Ying, you will step forward. โ€

In the next two years, the middle-aged man walked forward, and the two men were heroes among the people, but they were still like toddlers in front of this sect master, and they didn't dare to breathe at all.

"A real master, the momentum is overwhelming, people fall three points before the battle, this skill, even my father and the valley master of Leiyin Valley are beyond the reach of the dust!" Huang Yi said secretly, if it weren't for his own martial arts innate, I'm afraid he would have been restless under this momentum.

"The two of you are the outstanding disciples of my Tianluo Sword Sect, and they are also the candidates for the Young Sect Master this time. But yesterday, after discussing with King Anjun, Zhang Shangshu and the Council of Elders, I decided that in addition to your martial arts competition today, I will invite several other disciples and heroes from all walks of life to fight with you, as long as you do not belong to other sects, your heart is upright, and the victor can be canonized as the young sect master if we wait for the victory to be approved by the negotiation again!"

Although it was expected, but the sect master himself said that everyone couldn't help but boil, what a prominent position, let it go, what courage is needed, it seems that this Tianluo Sword Sect is also helpless!

After the commotion, the sect master immediately glanced at Ling Xiao's angel, and Ling Xiaotian immediately continued, "I announce the rules of the martial arts competition, the first is free fighting, as long as people who do not belong to other sects can participate, the second is that people under the age of fifty can participate, and the third is that the heart is upright and will definitely join my Tianluo Sword Sect in the future." If you meet the above conditions, you can participate!

As soon as these conditions came out, everyone was in an uproar, except for the masters of the sect who were under fifty, who dared to drink the disciples of the sect to fight each other? It seems that the Luo Sword Sect is also in a tight grip this day! It is extremely beneficial to itself! I don't know what countermeasures the imperial court has?

"The competition is set up as two big competitions in the east and west, and whoever is on the stage will win in the end!" With Ling Xiaotian's words, everyone was enthusiastic, and the big competition was to stand on the field casually to accept any challenge, and if he lost, he would go down until no one dared to go up.

Immediately, Ling Jian and Mo Ying jumped on the martial arts platform respectively, one east and one west for a while, but no one dared to go up, not to mention that the strength was not enough, I was afraid that whoever was on it would suffer from it at the beginning!

Suddenly, one person jumped on Dongwutai, it was Xue Mugui, the commander of the left wing battalion, and the left wing battalion was under the command of the great prince Liu Feng, and the great prince belonged to him. And this Xue Mugui is also a peak master of the Bone Forging Realm, one is a veteran of the battlefield, and the other is a disciple of the sect, after Ling Xiaotian finds out the details of the comer, he agrees to start the game

What Xue Mugui used was a Fang Tian painting halberd made of pure steel mixed with undersea black iron, and Ling Jian naturally made a sword. "Hehe, Young Sect Master Ling, you're welcome!'Halberd Breaking Rainbow Light'" bursts of energy approached Ling Jian

Ling Jian naturally did not show weakness, and the "Heaven Breaking Sword" sword used a sword of ten thousand horses galloping towards Xue Mugui, and the air slammed violently, and both sides couldn't help but take a few steps back

"Commander Xue, take my move again, Bafang Sword!" Ling Jian shouted

"Bafang Sword? Is it similar to the Bafang Sword Formation mentioned by Grandpa? Huang Yi thought to himself, he just wanted Ling Jian's figure on the stage to rush, the eight directions were his shadows, and his body was extremely fast, and he couldn't help but attack Xue Mugui back and forth, Xue Mugui was shocked and withdrew Fang Tian's halberd step by step, and finally after the sword light and sword shadow, a sword stabbed Xue Mugui's left arm, and kicked down the martial platform again. Ling Xiaotian announced Ling Jian's victory on the spot!

"This eight-sided sword is really incredible, who has such a heart and eye that can't be guarded against! If it comes to me, if I don't press with my strength, I can only find a chance to break this formation."

"Senior Brother Wu Tian, please advise Senior Brother!" A white-robed man on the west stage saluted respectfully, Wu Tian is also a sectarian son, of course, he is biased towards Ling Jian. Who knew that Mo Yingzhi on the stage said lightly, "You are not my opponent, go down!" made Wu Tian quite embarrassed,

"Senior brother, I hope to give you advice!" Ling Xiaotian immediately nodded, announcing that the martial arts competition had begun, and the people of the sect were always better than outsiders.

"Golden Rainbow Swordsmanship" both sides use the same swordsmanship like brothers, the qi is like a rainbow, swirling Wutai, fast and slow, like flowing water. But it seemed that Mo Ying's sword qi was stronger, and Wu Tian was defeated for a long time.

After throwing bricks and attracting jade, next, the atmosphere present became more lively, from time to time there were Yongan Wang faction challenging Mo Ying, and the Great Prince faction challenging Ling Jian. However, the skills of the two of them are really high, and it is almost difficult to meet opponents, and the Hui Yuan Dan secretly made by the Tianluo Sword Sect is also constantly replenishing the vitality.

"It seems that Ling Jian and Mo Ying still have to fight it out!" The sect master looked at Wu Tai and said lightly to the two beside him, the people in his sect are always better than outsiders, and his righteous son seems to be slightly better than Mo Ying, so he is very relieved

"That's true, Ling Jian and Mo Ying's strength is unmatched!" Liu Ziqing, the king of Anjun, continued

"I don't think so, there is a heaven outside the sky, there are always masters!" Zhang Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, seemed to disagree

"Oh, Zhang Shangshu, could it be that you also arranged other masters?" Liu Ziqing seemed to smile

"The king of the county laughed, the martial arts competition is extremely sacred, how can we blaspheme? It's just that some generals are not convinced, and always think that what they have mastered on the battlefield is the real martial arts, and if they have to come to the competition, I can't persuade anyone!" Zhang Qian was still slippery

"Oh, the commander should have tried, and the little king is clumsy, I can't think of anyone else who can beat Ling Jian!"

"Hey, the king of the county is joking again, what is it to lead troops to fight, naturally one wants martial arts and two brains, many commanders have military leaders and brains before, but there are some headless and brainless characters below, such as Liu Xifan under the account of the king of Mobei. โ€

"What?Uncle Mobei guarding Liu Xifan?" Liu Ziqing couldn't help but be surprised, according to legend, Liu Xifan was talented, less than fifty was in the Boiling Blood Realm, he could be called a martial arts master, even the Southern Huangfu and others were also highly praised, and what was even more surprising was that today he learned from Zhang Qian that the King of Mobei had turned to the Great Prince, and the situation was extremely tense for a while.

"King Jun, drink a cup of tea, suppress the shock, you see Liu Xifan appear!" Zhang Qian said calmly

I saw a man with a scar on the left side of his face walking up on the Tobu platform, empty-handed and bare-fisted, which did not match the personality of the person with a weapon before. As soon as the Boiling Blood Realm aura opened, Ling Jian couldn't help but grasp the long sword in his hand. Ling Xiaotian also saw through the strength of the person who came, looked at the sect master, and waited to see if he could start. The sect master was silent, and he was very surprised in his heart, the Tianluo Sword Sect was about to change hands, Ling Jian was not this person's opponent, Mo Ying didn't say whether he was willing to fight or not, and the battle was bound to be defeated.

"This person looks quite old, is he really under fifty?" said the sect master lightly

"Hehe, sect master, Liu Xifan's resume is archived in the ministry. King Anjun is in charge of the ministry, and you will know it when you check it!" Zhang Qian still said calmly

"No need, the generals outside the county still know that Liu Xifan is indeed under fifty! But if he wins by luck, he wants to join the Tianluo Sword Sect, I don't know if my imperial uncle is willing to let him go?"

"King Mobei naturally agreed, otherwise there would be no need to come all the way, Sect Master, can the game start?" Zhang Qian said impatiently, as if he had seen the future of the Tianluo Sword Sect

"Let's start!" the sect master could only say lightly, and then Ling Xiaotian loudly announced the start of the martial arts competition

"If I can't defeat you within three punches, I will automatically admit defeat! You have experienced several battles, I will not take advantage of you, I will rest first" As soon as Liu Xifan came up, he threw out words

"No need, my Tianluo Sword Sect Hui Yuan Dan peerless elixir, my strength has already been replenished! Although you are in the Boiling Blood Realm, my Tianluo Sword Sect's secret inheritance is not a vegetarian, look at the moves, Bafang Sword!" As soon as the words fell, Ling Jian immediately used the peerless technique, and there were all Ling Jian's figures on the field, but Liu Xifan didn't seem to see it, and he didn't move

"Looking for death!" One sword after another, stabbing towards Liu Xifan like a mountain and a sea, at this time Liu Xifan suddenly opened his eyes, punched out, the sword was fast and the punch was faster, Ling Jian would not be at a disadvantage, and then leaped up and "cross sword flower slash" The body was as light as a swallow, facing the ground in the air, and the wrist sword sailed towards Liu Xifan like a painting. Liu Xifan held his breath and concentrated, and the fierce convergence of his fists suddenly sent out a huge momentum towards Ling Jian, Ling Jian turned on his back and fell to the ground.

Liu Xifan is not an ordinary boiling blood realm, but has a calm breath and has been on the battlefield for many years. Regardless of Ling Jian's exquisite swordsmanship, he had no choice but to use his tricks, and in desperation, he could only admit defeat.

"Sect Master, do you want to compete with Mo Ying?" Zhang Qian said happily

"This asks Mo Ying himself, I can't be their master?" The sect master immediately threw the problem to Mo Ying, if he fights, even if he is defeated, he will at least contribute to the sect, if he does not admit defeat, it is obvious that the great elder has completely surrendered to the great prince.

"Mo Ying, do you need to fight with Liu Xifan?" Mo Ying didn't know how to answer after hearing Ling Xiaotian's words, and looked up at his father who was also the Great Elder on the viewing platform, and the Great Elder shook his head with a knowing face, thinking that his son couldn't control the overall situation, so it was better to give a favor to the Great Prince.
