In the three-day period, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of young people gathered at the foot of the Wufeng Ridge.

At this time, the city lord Li Zhihong walked out from the civil and military officials of Tiansui City, climbed the stairs, stood on the newly built bamboo platform, looked around, the crowd of people, flying colorful flags, watching the crowd so warmly echoed, as the city lord, his eyes showed a look of relief, after waving to everyone, he raised his voice and was ready to speak, who expected that his heart suddenly ached, his mouth vomited, and he coughed violently, this cough immediately attracted the left and right guards, a middle-aged general looked anxious, and asked with concern:" City Lord, your injuries are not healed, so let's go back and recuperate first, and leave the matter here to your subordinates. ”

Li Zhihong was obviously injured a lot in this demon beast war, and when he heard this, a sickly smile rose on his face, he shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "General Yan Qi, you should know the importance of this competition, what does the outer disciple of Xuanzhen Guan mean for our future now." ”

Yan Qi looked at Li Zhihong, his eyes were both concerned and worried, but when he looked back, there were so many people in Tiansui City who were standing or sitting, so many people, so many pairs of eyes, and more complicated expressions, and his thoughts flowed, and finally he could only helplessly say: "My subordinates know, but the city lord, your injury-"

"The injury is not tight, how many years have I been fighting in the north and south, and it is not the first time that a child has used a knife to cut his hand. Li Zhihong regained his footing, waved his hand and signaled the left and right guards to retreat, how could the power of the city lord be borrowed from others?

"The subordinates obey the will of the city lord. Yan Yu replied, thought for a while and continued: "At present, the general has not returned, and no one dares to play tricks in today's game.

Li Zhihong nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and the strength of his body was shown at this time, and he was radiant again, becoming the energetic and high city lord, he was loud and shouted: "My Tiansui City is the favor of heaven, thousands of years, and the sun and the moon shine together, all the young heroes are heroic, graceful, the old man sees it in his eyes, and he also thinks that it is the outstanding people of Tiansui City, and the blessing is in the sky." You are so elegant today, after cultivating on the immortal mountain in the future, you will be the best in the world, and the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country will eventually fall on your shoulders, and the old man is here to congratulate the final victor!"

As soon as these words fell, thousands of soldiers in the mountains and fields stood upright, waved the halberd in their hands, and roared towards the clouds:

"Long live the sky, the same age as the sky! Long live the sky, the same age as the sky!"

This scene is uniform, and the roar is like a military trumpet, and the sound is mighty.

After three roars, the sound stopped abruptly, the world became quiet, and suddenly there were birds chirping in the whole mountain, coming with the wind.

General Yan Yu stood up, his face was solemn, and he announced in a loud voice: "Today's selection competition, on the basis of preliminary screening, there are a total of 862 eligible contestants. However, the selection quota is a total of ten people, so in the end the vast majority of people are bound to be losers, and this competition does not distinguish between high and low, regardless of the family, resolutely follow the principle of fairness, justice and reasonableness, select the most powerful disciples of martial arts, martial arts is the first competition standard, in the future to protect the family and defend the country, only martial arts win!

This selection, the content is extremely simple, all the contestants start from this place, the goal is the peak of this five-peak ridge, and the ten people who finally reach the peak first will be selected as the cultivation disciples of the Xuanzhen Immortal Temple, how to do it on the way, each depends on the destiny of heaven, and the final success or failure, each depends on his ability!"

Tiansui City, the selection competition, began in the beating of drums.

At the foot of Wufengling Mountain, the 10,000 spectators who were blocked were either expecting or nervous, and they overlooked the mountains and forests one after another.

Under the leadership of Li Zhihong, the civil and military forces of Mancheng took the lead in rushing to the peak in a sedan chair, waiting for the arrival of the final victor.

The little fat man touched the bleeding knee, wiped his tears, stumbled into his father's arms, and almost fainted from crying.

One after another, the cries of young people came out, and the soldiers of Tiansui City walked out of the forest, carrying those children who could no longer walk on their shoulders, and the losers were sent back one after another, which added to the tension and fear of countless people, and the atmosphere at the bottom of the mountain peak was a little suffocating and dull for a while.

Halfway up the mountain, Yao Xiaochuan was already panting, seeing that Shi Xiaoyi was in front of him as if there was nothing to do, calmly walking towards the mountain step by step, he gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and struggled to keep up, but he didn't mean to give up.

The mountain road is rugged, completely primitive and has not undergone any transformation, "ah" with a painful cry, Shi Xiaoyi looked back, it was Yao Xiaozhou's palm that was cut out of blood by some kind of weed, and asked, "Do you still hold on?"

"If you can't hold on, do you want you to carry me?" Yao Xiaochuan asked him jealously, and then, he shouted "yaa" in his mouth, rushed to Shi Xiaoyi, turned around and shouted at Shi Xiaoyi: "You are too weak, do you want me to carry you!"

Shi Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, chased after him, and said, "I can't imagine that you can hold on to this on your own." ”

"Why can you insist, I can't, you look down on me!" Yao Xiaozhou replied with disdain, but suddenly his eyes froze, and he didn't leave.

A steep slope of more than 70 degrees intercepted in front of him, which directly made Yao Xiaozhou stare dryly.

Shi Xiaoyi laughed even harder, and teased: "What, does Uncle Yao want to give up?"

"You, don't bully people, where is this mountain so easy to climb, you see, how many people have I already thrown away!" Yao Xiaozhou looked back at the few teenagers who were behind him in the forest behind him, and replied while panting.

Shi Xiaoyi pointed to the dozen or so figures in front of him, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "You can't just look backwards, not forward, so that when we run to the top of the mountain, the turtles will climb to the sun." ”

Yao Xiaozhou shouted "wow", shook his head and went crazy, sprinted towards this steep slope, used his hands and feet together, tightly grasped a small protruding rock, and used his strength to rush up a few steps high, but the arm seemed to be hanging a few pieces of iron, and the sour ground was like white tofu, and he was bored, and the soles of his feet were pedaling left and right, and he couldn't use his strength, and he was half-suspended on the steep slope.

On the other hand, Shi Xiaoyi is like a spring on the soles of his feet, gently kicking, his palm borrowing force from the protruding rock, and his body floated up like a butterfly, when he looked back, he grabbed a metasequoia tree with one hand, and beckoned to Yao Xiaozhou with the other, shouting: "Uncle, do you want to give you a hand?"

Yao Xiaochuan was angry, but he was too lazy to scold him, and when he saw his hand stretched out, he didn't think about it, and directly hugged one of his arms with both palms, looking like a scoundrel who would either die together or hold me to heaven.

Shi Xiaoyi was so happy in his heart, it was always a matter of pride to be relied on.

He suddenly exerted force, and the soles of his feet kicked hard towards the small rock that protruded, and the small rock shattered, but Shi Xiaoyi's body jumped several feet high steadily, and even took Yao Xiaozhou to ascend to heaven with a chicken dog, Yao Xiaozhou also laughed proudly: "Shi Xiaoyi, you are still not a human after all, you will not be the reincarnation of a beast, such an evil sect!"

"Before, my father and I were in the mountains, and there were any cliffs and steep slopes that we hadn't climbed, so what was it?"

When Shi Xiaoyi answered, he remembered the scene of climbing the mountain with his father, and he was still young at that time, and his father kept teaching, encouraging and explaining all kinds of martial arts and mental methods.

Shi Xiaoyi was in good shape, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and directly surpassed the five teenagers who were still working hard for a while.

A blonde boy only felt that the two in front of him passed by, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that there were two more figures in front of him, and they were two more nepotistic people, so he immediately threw away his words and cursed: "Damn, two clothed beasts, you are such a bully, I damn curse you to fall to death quickly, beyond the ascension!"

Shi Xiaoyi didn't look back, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and the sole of his foot kicked the gravel violently, and the gravel burst out when he landed, and a stone seemed to have an eye, and a bullet shot out.

The blonde boy opened his mouth and exclaimed, "My legs!"

But it was Shi Xiaoyi's stone that directly hit the blonde boy's thigh, and the skin was open and the flesh was open, and blood bubbled up.

The blonde boy subconsciously reached out to press the wound, and his body suddenly lost its center of gravity, and then rolled and fell into the woods.

This scene frightened Yao Xiaozhou, he subconsciously retracted his hand, but unexpectedly, Shi Xiaoyi seemed to know that he was about to let go, his wrist was hooked, directly grabbed Yao Xiaozhou's arm, and lifted it upward, Yao Xiaozhou felt the wind whistling in his ears, and his body fell heavily to the ground, falling under a pine tree.

Shi Xiaoyi's figure immediately jumped to his side, and when he saw his eyes, Yao Xiaozhou was a little stunned, and only sweated: "You, Xiaoyi, don't need to be so ruthless, right? ”

Shi Xiaoyi patted him on the shoulder and replied: "You think it's you, if you fall, you have to buy a coffin, he has also practiced martial arts, such a falling method is just a broken muscle, a small flesh injury, it's not a big deal, what is wrong with his greetings, who asked him to greet my mother." ”

"Alas" Yao Xiaozhou gasped, took out a water bag from his waist, handed it to Shi Xiaoyi, and said: "When I recover my divine skills and continue to fight with you, I don't want to be alone in Tiansui City." ”

Shi Xiaoyi's eyes smiled proudly, and he was about to drink water when he took the water bag, but suddenly, his eyes changed greatly, and he roared: "Be careful!"

As soon as the words sounded, his body rushed forward, overpowering Yao Xiaozhou, Yao Xiaozhou felt the cold wind "whoosh" in his ears, and his neck subconsciously tightened, and he was forcibly pressed to the ground by Shi Xiaoyi, and he didn't have time to ask what was wrong.

The scene was so swift, just in the middle of the lightning.

Shi Xiaoyi looked into the dense forest ahead, and saw two long-haired young men standing on the flat slope in the distance, among which the older man in brocade clothes was holding a repeater in his hand, and said something hatefully, and then the two turned around and ran towards the top of the mountain, ignoring them again.

"What, what's wrong?" Yao Xiaozhou asked after a long time, his eyes blank.

Shi Xiaoyi got up and pointed to a piece of bamboo behind him.

"Bamboo, what's the difference?" Yao Xiaozhou stood up, looked at the piece of bamboo, and suddenly his eyes froze, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't speak.

The ordinary deep mountain bamboo forest, but with an unusual short arrow in the world, the arrow is pitch black, and the tip of the arrow is deep into the depths of the bamboo, the whole bamboo has been split into two halves at this time, near the arrow, the bamboo that should have been turquoise has become dark black at this time, like an ink pen rendering, and the discerning person can obviously see that this short arrow is coated with poison.
