Returning to Hopeless City, Liu Ao and the three of them found an inn to live in, and after a short rest, they began to rush towards the center of the city.

Heavenly Sword Mentor Xu Qingfeng gave Liu Ao a token, which was a somewhat worn cyan jade plaque, with only a hammer pattern carved on the plaque, and a beautiful 'Hong' character on the pattern.

After inquiring with the shopkeeper, he learned that the mark on the jade plate was the mark of an iron-striking shop called 'Honglu' in the center of the city.

In the center of the city is a huge square that stretches out over four wide streets.

Liu Ao stood at the entrance of one of the streets and said to Sun Fan and Tong Ying:

"When we see that senior in a while, we must be polite, even if he is not willing to take us to the Hopeless Sea, we must not be rude. ”

Tong Ying nodded, "Senior Brother Liu Ming, don't worry, I remember." ”

Sun Fan said 'um', "I don't need you to remind me, I'm in a good temper." ”

The three of them walked into the street, their eyes constantly scanning the shops on both sides.

Half an hour passed, and Liu Ao and the three of them had already reached the end of the street, but they still didn't see the blacksmith shop.

Liu Ao frowned, and hugged his fist at a man passing by, "Friend, do you know that there is an iron shop here?"

The young man looked at Liu Ao and the three of them with a suspicious face, "Are you talking about the Honglu blacksmith?"

Liu Ao nodded, "Do you know where it is?"

"You're late," said the young man, looking around, in a whisper.

"The boss of the blacksmith shop was taken by the head of the Yuan family, the blacksmith had long been closed, and the boss couldn't get out of the city lord's mansion. ”

Liu Ao was stunned, "The boss of the blacksmith shop, is it a woman?"

The young man smiled, "It's a beautiful woman, I won't tell you, I'm going to the Yuan family to participate in the competition." ”

When the young man left, Liu Ao and the three of them glanced at each other, and they were a little dazed for a while.

"What should I do?"

Tong Ying looked at Liu Ao and hesitated:

"Otherwise, let's go to the Yuan family to find that senior?"

Sun Fan nodded, "It's better to go directly." ”

Liu Ao thought about it again and again, frowned and said:

"That senior should be trapped in the Yuan family, for the sake of safety, we'd better plan first. ”

So, the three of them returned to the inn.

After stuffing a spirit stone into the shopkeeper, Liu Ao and the others quickly got the news about the Yuan family.

The Yuan family only appeared in Hopeless City three years ago, but in just three years, the limelight overtook the original three major families - the Qiu family, the Mi family and the Zhu family.

No one knows the details of the Yuan family, but everyone knows that in Hopeless City, the last thing to provoke is the Yuan family.

It is said that Yuan Kun, the head of the Yuan family, is already a high-level martial king, and if there is no strong person coming, in this remote hopeless city, it will be a supreme existence.

Although the city of Hopeless is close to the sea, there are not many outsiders throughout the year.

It also caused the scene of the Yuan family being powerful here.

And Liu Ao learned a very important news, Yuan Kun was recently looking for Ruyi Langjun for his only daughter Yuan Binbin, and specially set up a ring in the Yuan family's mansion, planning to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives.

It is said that the young people in the city flock to it, and they all want to climb the branches and become phoenixes.

Sun Fan looked at Liu Ao carefully a few times and nodded, "I have to admit that your appearance is not bad, you can try it, as long as you are selected, you will have a chance to rescue that senior." ”

Liu Ao shook his head, "It's not me, Sun Fan, this time you are out." ”

Sun Fan's face was full of reluctance, "Listen to that little er, Yuan Kun is a cruel person, and his daughter must be ugly and fierce, so I won't go." ”

Tong Ying was interested, "I see you guys going together." ”

Helpless, Liu Ao could only nod.

The three of them came to the outside of the Yuan family's mansion, but saw that there was already a long queue at the gate.

Not to mention that there were seven or eight hundred people queuing, and there were young people walking out of the side door with a disappointed face.

"Don't grind, line up honestly!"

A young man with a sharp beak and a shrewd man shouted loudly:

"My young lady is shy of flowers in the moon, and she is talented, if you are not strong and ugly, don't join in this fun. ”

Liu Ao heard a young man in front of him muttering, "I only heard that there is a young lady in the Yuan family, but no one has ever seen it, the ghost knows what it looks like, maybe it's ugly." ”

Liu Ao smiled lightly, he only felt that these people were too interesting, and he didn't even know what Yuan Binbin, the young lady of the Yuan family, looked like, but he had to work hard to be the son-in-law of the Yuan family.

Liu Ao followed the team into the gate, and then walked through the long corridor to the backyard.

The backyard is extremely spacious, and there is a bamboo forest inside, and in the middle of the bamboo forest there is a flat land that can accommodate thousands of people.

At this point, it was already crowded.

In the middle of the clearing, there was a ring on which two young men were competing.

Ten zhang away, a quiet bamboo building was protected by dozens of family members, and the window on the second floor was blocked by a gauze curtain, and the breeze blew, revealing two blurred figures.

One of them was a stout man and wore a black robe, while the other was a slender man and wore an embroidered sky-blue gauze skirt, presumably a young woman.

"Hey, Liu Ming, did you see it?"

Sun Fan leaned into Liu Ao's ear and whispered:

"I glanced at it, the woman in the bamboo building should be Yuan Binbin, I didn't see it clearly, it didn't seem to be ugly. ”

Liu Ao shook his head, "Don't forget the purpose of our visit!"

Tong Ying echoed:

"Senior Brother Sun Fan, the academy has a rule that if you want to marry a couple before you graduate, you must report to the academy first, and wait for the academy to pass the investigation. ”

Sun Fan glanced at Tong Ying, "I just said casually, you are quite proficient in memorizing the rules of the academy's disciples." ”

The three of them came to the outskirts of the crowd just in time to see a man leave in disgrace after being knocked out of the ring.

The young man standing in the ring had a tiger's back and his fists were full of blood, and at this time, with a smug smile on his face, he looked at the bamboo building and shouted:

"Miss Binbin, are you satisfied with my Xiong Qiang's performance?"

Everyone looked at the window on the second floor of the bamboo building, hoping to see the real face.

But behind the curtain, only a somewhat cold voice came out, "It's too weak." ”

Xiong Qiang's face was unconvinced, and he roared angrily at everyone in the audience, "Who else wants to challenge, get out of here!"

"You're crazy!"

A somewhat thin man jumped into the ring, waved the long knife in his hand, and saw a flash of knife qi burst out, as if a round of black crescent moon slashed towards Xiong Qiang.

Xiong Qiang snorted coldly, his hands emitted earthy yellow spiritual power light, turning into a spiritual power shield, blocking this sword qi.

The thin man's face changed, he was originally a high-level martial artist cultivator, and this knife just now was already his strongest sword, but it was easily blocked by Xiong Qiang.

"I throw in the towel!"

"Here in Lao Tzu, there is no admission of defeat!"

Xiong Qiang sneered, his figure appeared in front of the thin man in a flash, and he punched it out, and he heard a 'bang', and the thin man's body flew out upside down, and he spit out a lot of blood in the air, screaming miserably and falling into the crowd, and was immediately dragged away by the Yuan family guards.

With this scene, many people at the scene dispelled the idea of challenging Xiong Qiang.

In case your head is hot, it's not worth losing your life.

In the bamboo building.

Yuan Kun yawned, put down the wine jug that had been drunk, and said softly:

"Daughter, don't look at these miscellaneous pieces, right?"

Yuan Binbin's face was covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes with three points of melancholy and coldness, and the skin under the veil was fair and delicate.

She nodded lightly and didn't say a word.

Yuan Kun gently lifted the window screen and said loudly:

"I see that there are also a lot of young talents at the scene, what's the point of hiding in the crowd all the time, since you're here, what are you hesitating about?"

Hearing this, thousands of people on the field began to look around, not knowing who the young talent in Yuan Kun's mouth was talking about.

Just when everyone was puzzled, in the crowd, a young man in white walked out and stepped into the ring step by step.

His face is indifferent, his facial features are upright, and he has the temperament of a scholar.

Xiong Qiang laughed out loud, "Look at you, scholar, right? The kid who plays with pen and ink dares to come on stage, boy, aren't you afraid that I will accidentally kill you?"

The man in white was expressionless, and bowed his head slightly, "Come on, either you will kill me, or I will kill you." ”

This is said lightly, but it is crazy.

Liu Ao couldn't help but glance at the man in white, although he didn't know his cultivation strength, but the way he spoke was completely different from dressing.

Xiong Qiang was stunned, and then became furious.

"The contest is not as easy as it is written in the books, boy, you have to pay for your ignorance. ”

After speaking, Xiong Qiang repeated his old tricks, appeared in front of the man in white, and bombarded the chest of the young man in white with a punch.

Just when Xiong Qiang thought that the man in white would also be beaten away by himself, he saw the man in white swaying slightly and suddenly disappearing in place.

The chest was momentarily stunned.

In the next moment, there was a sharp pain in the back!

saw the man in white suddenly appear, his right hand with a flash of inspiration stretched out, and raised two fingers, deeply inserted Xiong Qiang's back, and buckled Xiong Qiang's backbone.

Xiong Qiang's eyes widened, his body began to tremble violently, and his head was covered with cold sweat in pain, but he didn't dare to move.

As long as the young man in white pulls gently, Xiong Qiang's spine will definitely break, and even if he doesn't die, he will lose his ability to move, and he can only lie down for the rest of his life.

"Rao..."

Before the word 'spare life' could be spoken, a click was heard, and the young man in white pulled lightly, tearing off Xiong Qiang's backbone.

The young man in white was expressionless, "I said, either you will kill me, or I will kill you." ”

Xiong Qiang fell to the ground heavily, his body trembling twice and then stopped moving.

A Yuan family guard hurriedly came to the stage and dragged Xiong Qiang's body away.

The scene fell silent instantly, and everyone's breathing slowed.

Xiong Qiang, who was invincible just now, actually died like this?

Who is this man in white? When did Hopeless City come out with such a ruthless person?

Who would dare to come to power?

Yuan Kun stood at the window and laughed, "This is a little interesting, don't hesitate for others, if you want to be my Yuan Kun's son-in-law, you have to show your real skills!"

Just when everyone thought that no one dared to challenge the man in white again, they saw a figure jump high and land firmly in the ring.

It was a man in a gray linen shirt, with an unremarkable appearance, short hair, and a short silver knife.

Just when everyone thought that the young man in white only needed one move to solve the man in Mai, the two had already gone through several moves, but they did not distinguish the winner or loser.

After more than 30 moves, the young man in white was unable to do enough and was slashed out of the ring by the young man in Mai.

The champion has changed a third person in a short period of time.

Many people have begun to understand that there have always been many hidden masters in Hopeless City!

Next, several hidden masters came to power, and the most powerful one fought with the Mai young man for half an hour, but finally lost half a move.

Yuan Kun's eyes lit up, "This kid in sackcloth is good, in the early days of the Martial Spirit Realm, he was already a top talent in Hopeless City, Binbin, what do you think?"

Yuan Binbin got up and walked to the window, glanced around through the window screen, his eyes fell on Liu Ao and the others, and said softly:

"It's good, but..."

Yuan Kun smiled:

"What's the matter?"

Yuan Binbin nodded, "I want to see it again." ”

Yuan Kun nodded, and Yuan Binbin slowly went downstairs, surrounded by a group of guards, and came to the edge of the ring.

Everyone gave way, and all eyes fell on Yuan Binbin's face covered by a thin veil.

Just looking at her figure and complexion, Yuan Binbin is definitely a stunning beauty.

Yuan Binbin and Yuan Kun sat down on the edge of the ring and said:

"Go ahead. ”

Just listening to the sound makes a lot of people excited.

Noble with cold, proper goddess temperament!
