In the cold hall, there is a stunning woman who secretly hurts herself, and the woman is none other than Princess Chenling, who was placed under house arrest by the emperor Li Guochang-Li Qin.

"There was once a beautiful relationship in front of me, but I didn't cherish it, and in the end it ended up like this, which can be regarded as a retribution. Li Qin leaned against the window, looked at the delicate flowers outside the window, and once again shed tears, tears across his face, and made that beautiful face.

At that time, Xiao Sheng was on the way to Chang'an City, passing by a small city, and heard the most moving piano sound he had ever heard in his life in the restaurant, which was the first meeting between Xiao Sheng and Li Qin. At that time, Xiao Sheng was not the first in the world, and Li Qin was not Princess Chenling.

Just when Li Qin fell into the sadness of the past, she didn't know that Xiao Sheng participated in the martial arts conference again for her, nor did she know that this martial arts conference implied an unprecedented murderous intention.

......

The martial arts conference officially kicked off today. The first thing to do is the audition, and the top 16 are selected from the thousands of people who have signed up, and only the competition between these 16 people can be regarded as a real martial arts conference.

The auditions are not open to the public, mainly because they are afraid that it will be inconvenient to maintain order, and not every match of thousands of people is a high-level battle. Generally speaking, there are seeded players selected by each major faction in the audition, and they will not meet during the audition. So basically, there is no big suspense in the competition for the top 16, and the audition is more of a formality.

However, there are exceptions to everything, just like eight years ago, Xiao Sheng and Ye Qiuli, although they were not disciples of the Damen Sect, each of them overturned the seed players in their own auditions. Therefore, even if you don't have a big background, as long as you have real strength, the martial arts conference will still be a good way for you to become famous.

Today is the first day of the audition.

Xiao Shengli knocked his opponent out of the ring after a few moves, and was about to leave, but he heard a terrible scream, followed by a commotion.

"You actually dare to kill people at the martial arts conference!" I saw a strong man in the crowd shouting at the young man in the ring, "I really don't know whether to live or die!"

The young man in the ring looked like a weak scholar, very good-looking, but with a cruel smile on his face, he did not have the slightest shame or fear of killing a person he had just killed. I saw the young man slowly walking out of the ring and walking towards the strong man just now, and without waiting for the strong man to continue talking, he grabbed the strong man's neck with one hand and lifted him up like a chicken.

The young man stared at the strong man's pale face because of suffocation and sneered: "Don't try to provoke me, it won't be more difficult for me to kill you than it is to kill a chicken." With that, he threw the strong man on the ground.

Xiao Sheng saw this scene, but he didn't stop it. There is no rule in the martial arts conference that you can't kill your opponent, but if the opponent surrenders or loses the ability to fight, the competition ends here, and if you insist on killing, you will be punished. The young man had killed his opponent with a single move, and that didn't break the rules. But the strong man insulted the young man, and it was just right for the young man to teach him a lesson.

This is a murderous man, yet an extremely calm man. This is Xiao Sheng's evaluation of youth. Xiao Sheng has a hunch that this person will be a strong obstacle for him in the future competitions.

Xiao Sheng watched the young man walk to the door, but saw the young man suddenly turn his head, look at him with a smile, his lips moved slightly, and then strode away.

Xiao Sheng frowned and left the audition venue.

The young man's lips said, "Enjoy the last days." ”

......

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the list of the top 16 has been determined. Xiao Sheng didn't meet too strong opponents and won a place without surprise. And that young man, with the momentum of ten steps and one killing, simply scared off all his next opponents, and locked the place in just three games.

"Tomorrow is the first showdown with the outside world, do you have any ideas?" Since Xiao Sheng decided to participate in the martial arts conference, Ye Qiuli did not stop him again, "Among this year's players, if there is no one for you, there is no doubt that the title of the number one in the world will belong to that young man." ”

"Hmm. He's strong, even stronger than I was back then. After Xiao Sheng met the young man on that day, he also paid attention to the next two duels of the young man, both of which were fatal with one blow, decisive and vicious.

"There's a murderous aura in him that you don't have. I investigated, and the young man was indeed from Xiaoyaozhuang, and his name was Li Zizai. Ye Qiuli looked thoughtful.

"In this case, I'm afraid tonight won't be a night suitable for deep sleep, and it is impossible for other sects to watch the Xiaoyaozhuang family dominate. Xiao Sheng took a sip of tea before continuing, "Do we want to participate?"

Ye Qiuli shook his head and said, "In the eyes of other sects, you also have an unknown secret to participate in this martial arts conference, it would be good if they didn't trouble us, and it would be impossible for them to accept our help." If we force our participation, we are afraid that we will be besieged from both sides. They will soon pay the price for the idea that Xiaoyaozhuang is still a second-rate sect supported by the royal family. I'm afraid that the Demon Cult has reached some kind of agreement with Xiaoyaozhuang. From Li Zizai's body, I smelled the smell of the Demon Sect. ”

"How many families will be left after tonight?" Xiao Sheng looked at the sun that was about to set, feeling deeply powerless.

......

In the early morning of the next day, Wulin was shocked.

Among the ten major sects, the people sent out to participate in the martial arts conference, except for the people from Xiaoyaozhuang, all the others died.

Originally, there were only two powerhouses of various sects who were supposed to participate in the sixteenth and eighth duels of the martial arts conference. One is Li Zizai of Xiaoyaozhuang, and the other is Xiao Sheng of the Sword Casting Gate.

"Xiaoyaozhuang is so ambitious!" Ye Qiuli was shocked when he heard about this.

"It's too late to regret it now, Xiaoyaozhuang didn't trouble us, I'm afraid I have the confidence to defeat me head-on in the martial arts conference. Xiao Sheng frowned, obviously he didn't expect Xiaoyaozhuang to be so domineering.

"The battle for the first place in the world actually started ahead of schedule. Ye Qiuli's face was obviously not very good, and he didn't have the appetite to touch the breakfast in front of him.

......

In the most central location of the entire Chang'an, there is a magnificent attic. The attic is not big, but it is extremely high. At the top of the attic, there is a plaque with the book "Martial Arts Conference". There are two majestic stone lions in front of the attic, not as gentle as ordinary people's homes, these two stone lions open their teeth and claws, hideous and terrifying. And in front of the stone lion, there is a huge ring. There is not much decoration in the ring, the most conspicuous thing is the four huge pillars standing in the ring, and there are dragons flying on the pillars, which are from the handwriting of famous artists.

This place is the most desirable stage for young people in the entire martial arts, and all young people are fighting to be able to get into this ring.

On this stage that young people aspire to, there are two young people who are enviable, because they are the same young people who are qualified to be in this ring this year. The one dressed in white was Li Zizai of Xiaoyaozhuang, and the one dressed in black was Xiao Sheng of the Sword Casting Gate.

Under the ring, many people have already gathered, not only young people, but also heroes from all walks of life gathered here at this time. There was a lot of cheering. Some people shouted for Xiao Sheng, and some people cheered for Li Zizai.

Xiao Sheng stood with his hands in his hands and closed his eyes to recuperate, but he was always vigilant against Li Zizai, who was standing opposite. And Li Zizai's handsome face, which even women are jealous of, has a bewitching smile, confident and cautious.

"Xiao Sheng!" Li Zizai spoke first, his tone full of disdain and mockery, "Today's name of the number one in the world is about to be transposed! If you leave now, I can spare you from dying! If you don't measure yourself, Ben Shao will take your life!"

The audience who supported Li Zizai in the audience suddenly boiled, and kept shouting, applauding Li Zizai's arrogance.

However, Xiao Sheng did not show a trace of hesitation in the face of Li Zizai's words. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and stretched his waist, as if he had just woken up.

Those viewers who supported Xiao Sheng saw Xiao Sheng's appearance of ignoring Li Zizi so much, and they also shouted wildly and cheered for Xiao Sheng.

At this time, the atmosphere has become more and more lively, and the battle between the two seems to be on the verge of breaking out.

"The emperor has arrived!"

A sharp voice came from a distance, and after hearing the content of this voice, everyone fell silent, knelt on the ground in fear and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

The ruler of the Central Plains, Li Guochang, came to the scene of the martial arts conference.

I saw Li Guochang walking down from the dragon chariot, followed by the princess Li Qin. Li Qin lowered her head and didn't look at the two people standing in the ring. The two went straight up to the attic, and a moment later, people saw Li Guochang in the highest part of the attic.

Li Guochang looked down at his people, and after sweeping around, his eyes stared directly at the two young people in the ring. Neither of them knelt down and bowed, but just stood, and there didn't seem to be him as the emperor at all. Li Guochang nodded to Li Zizi, then waved his sleeves and said, "No courtesy, flat body!"

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" everyone stood up.

After everyone stood up again, Li Guochang said again: "There is a special change in this year's martial arts conference, the top 16 have been auditioned internally, and the next thing to do is the final final." Xiao Sheng of the Sword Casting Gate fought against Li Zizai of Xiaoyaozhuang!"

Hearing the news, there was a commotion in the crowd, obviously not understanding what happened to make the final start early.

"I heard that the emperor intends to marry Princess Chen Ling to the man who won the first title in the world this time, is it because of this reason?"

"Could it be that the emperor can't wait, so start the finals early?

"I see, ......"

“......”

There are many opinions, but no one has guessed the right answer.

Li Guochang saw that the crowd was in a commotion, and coughed a few times. When the crowd finally calmed down, Li Guochang stared at the two people in the ring and said slowly, "The battle for the first place in the world begins!"

The two people in the ring finally moved.
