Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 97 The final decisive battle, the emperor arrives!
"Lu Fan!"

"Lu Fan!"

"Lu Fan!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Lu Fan stepped off the stage, came to Ye Wuchen's side, helped him up, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"You bastard!"

Ye Wuchen lightly punched Lu Fan, "It's hard enough."

Even though he lost to Lu Fan twice in a row, Ye Wuchen was still in a good mood, and he was still in the mood to joke with Lu Fan.

"no way."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "Otherwise I wouldn't be able to beat you."

"Don't be humble anymore."

Ye Wuchen said angrily: "You guys are too good at hiding, I'm afraid you didn't use all your strength today, did you?"

"Where is it?"

Lu Fan quickly shook his head, "As long as you persist for a while, then I will be the loser."

"Okay, no matter what you say, I won't believe it."

Ye Wuchen suddenly put on a straight face, "It seems that I have to guard against you in the future."

Before he finished speaking, he was amused by himself, and said with a smile: "Just kidding, don't mind."

"fine."

Lu Fan also laughed, "It's rare to see you joking, so I can see a different side of you."

"People are multi-faceted."

Ye Wuchen said with a smile: "We are familiar, so naturally we can talk about anything, and it's normal to joke with you."

"Let's go back to the posthouse."

Lu Fan could feel the closeness of the other party.

Ye Wuchen should regard him as a friend.

He remembered what Su Mu had said to him back then, as well as his impression of Ye Wuchen.

High above, looking down on all living beings?
Now they are joking with him, and even treat him as a friend.

He knew that it was not Ye Wuchen who changed, but he changed, which caused Ye Wuchen's attitude towards him to change.

With the improvement of his strength, not only Ye Wuchen, but also many people around him, have unconsciously changed their attitude towards him.

In the future, this change will continue.

Maybe it will become the norm.

……

……

The next day, the third day of June.

morning.

The imperial forest army practice martial arts arena.

The stands were packed to the brim with not a single vacant seat.

Even the aisles were full of people.

The VIP seats were quite empty.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that these seats cannot be empty for too long.

There will be big people there in a while.

After all, today's game is too important.

Two finals!

The top three in the comprehensive competition will be finally determined.

And rewards will be distributed on the spot.

"Look, Liu Zeming is here."

A sharp-eyed person pointed to the entrance of the martial arts arena, where four people had just entered.

Two men and two women.

The man in the front is none other than Liu Zeming.

Behind him are Liu Zhi and Liu Mei, and Liu Zhi's fifth sister, Liu Xiyue.

A group of four walked towards the VIP seats, and everyone in the VIP seats got up to say hello, "Liu Xiang, you are here!"

"Everyone please sit down."

Liu Zeming smiled and nodded to everyone.

"it is good."

"Please."

After Liu Zeming sat down, everyone sat down.

Unlike before, there are very few young people in the VIP seats today.

Most of them are middle-aged men in their 40s.

The identities are all extraordinary.

There are generals, censors, academicians, and other court officials, as well as the heads of major families and sects.

But even though their status is distinguished, no one dares to sit in the middle of the VIP seats.

Even Liu Zeming didn't dare to sit down.

Because they all know that there are more important people who will come to watch the competition today.

"The Emperor is here!"

With a loud shout, the audience suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stood up in unison and looked towards the entrance of the martial arts arena.

I saw a group of people entering the martial arts arena.

Also two men and two women.

Emperor Li Tianrun, Empress Liu Muxue.

Both were in their early thirties but looked like they were in their twenties.

The man is handsome and elegant, and the woman is beautiful and noble.

There is also a pair of young men and women, the boy is only eleven or twelve years old, and the girl is thirteen or fourteen years old.

Both of them are extremely delicate and handsome.

It is the crown prince Li Mu and the eldest princess Li Fengyang.

"Don't be too polite!"

Li Tianrun waved to everyone, "Sit down."

"Yes."

Everyone agreed in unison, but no one dared to sit down.

It wasn't until the four of Li Tianrun sat down that everyone dared to take their seats.

"The third and fourth finals are about to begin."

The referee stood on the competition stage, faced the crowd in the stands, and said loudly: "I invite two contestants, Ye Wuchen and Zhu Jingtian."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Wuchen and Zhu Jingtian stepped onto the competition stage.

Ye Wuchen used a knife, and Zhu Jingtian used a sword.

"Game start!"

The referee announced, and the two drew their swords and slashed at each other.

"call!"

The sword in Zhu Jingtian's hand slashed continuously.

A stream of sword energy followed.

He knew that his strength was not enough, so he used all his strength as soon as he came up.

Ye Wuchen didn't keep his hand either, only to see his wrist trembling slightly, and the violent saber intent poured out immediately, like a violent storm, rushing towards Zhu Jingtian.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

Endless spiritual power raged out, drowning Zhu Jingtian in an instant.

"what!"

Screams sounded.

Zhu Jingtian's body was swept into the air, and then fell hard to the ground.

Covered in blood.

The violent saber intent left countless tiny wounds on his body, and the pain made him sweat profusely.

This was deliberately done by Ye Wuchen, just to make him suffer.

Even Ye Wuchen couldn't bear what the Imperial Forest Army did, and decided to teach him a lesson.

"Ye Wuchen wins!"

The referee stopped the game.

"it is good!"

There were bursts of cheers from the stands.

"This boy is very good."

The emperor Li Tianrun nodded slightly, and looked at the queen beside him, "I have reached the first rank at a young age, and I will definitely become a peerless master in my Great Zhou in the future."

"Yes."

Liu Muxue smiled and said: "In this big martial arts competition, there are indeed several talented youngsters, and Ye Wuchen is just one of them."

"Father, Queen Mother."

Prince Li Mu on the side interjected, "Ye Wuchen is already so powerful, but he lost to Lu Fan. Doesn't that mean that Lu Fan is even stronger?"

"Does that even need to be said?"

The eldest princess Li Fengyang answered, "If it wasn't for Lu Fan, I wouldn't have come."

"Yes."

Li Tianrun smiled and said: "This Lu Fan is not ordinary, he will definitely be the pillar of our great Zhou in the future, you two should treat him well."

"Yes."

The two agreed in unison.

"Let's watch the game, it's about to start."

Liu Muxue pointed to the competition platform and reminded.

"it is good."

Several people turned their attention to the competition stage.

"Lu Fan!"

"Yan Qing!"

"come on!"

Before the game started, the stands were already boiling.

Everyone shouted the names of Lu Fan and Yan Qing frantically.

Lu Fan still has more supporters.

You know, the soldiers who come to watch the game are different every time.

Many people even came to watch the game for the first time, and they only heard about it from Lu Fan.

But even so, it didn't affect their appreciation for Lu Fan.

"Lu Fan, come on!"

At the VIP table, only Liu Zhi was raising his arms and shouting.

Liu Mei on the side frowned, as if feeling noisy.

Liu Muxue glanced at the younger brother not far away, but felt amused.

How did my younger brother who I loved since childhood become like this?
"uncle!"

Li Mu called Liu Zhi, "I heard you know Lu Fan very well?"

"His Royal Highness."

Liu Zhi cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Lu Fan is my good friend."

"That's great."

Li Mu was very happy, "You have such a powerful friend."

Several people were chatting.

Lu Fan and Yan Qing have already stepped onto the competition stage.

The two stood facing each other, looking at each other carefully.

Yan Qing looked quite confident, and the arrogance on his face remained undiminished.

He tightened the red spear in his hand, and nodded slightly at Lu Fan, "I admit that you are very strong, a formidable opponent I have never met, but today, I will not lose to you again."

"Breakthrough?"

Lu Fan had already guessed it, so he still asked, "Are you at the first rank now?"

"That's right!"

Yan Qing admitted frankly, "I know that you may also be promoted to the first rank, but I still have the confidence to win you. Not only can I beat you today, but you will never surpass me again in the future!"

"well said!"

Lu Fan praised: "We martial arts practitioners should have this spirit."

"You are indeed generous."

Yan Qing suddenly turned serious, and said, "Although we are opponents, I also admire you very much. With your own strength, you can suppress the entire Dragon Shadow Guard of the Royal Forest Army. It is impossible for any one person to do it."

"Okay, let's get started."

Lu Fan smiled, "Many people are waiting."

"Ah."

Yan Qing stopped talking, and stabbed forward with the spear in his hand, aiming at Lu Fan's abdomen.

Lu Fan swung out his fist, and slammed down on the tip of the gun.

Yan Qing didn't change his tactics, but was ready to fight head-on.

The two have fought against each other before, and they know each other well, so there is no need to try again.

Both of them also knew that they couldn't defeat each other with moves alone.

In the end, we still have to win with strength.

"Oh!"

The two fought hard, and each took half a step back.

Evenly matched.

"Come again!"

Yan Qing became more confident and attacked Lu Fan again with a gun.

Lu Fan didn't dodge, and punched the red spear fiercely.

"Oh!"

The two of them broke apart as soon as they touched each other, and each took a few steps back before stopping.

Still evenly divided.

"Come again!"

Lu Fan and Yan Qing continued to increase their strength and fought recklessly again and again, but they retreated further and further away, unable to help each other.

Both of them tried out the strength of the other, and they were evenly matched.

It is also difficult to win with strength.

"call!"

Yan Qing changed his move again, the spear in his hand shook slightly, and the endless spear intent rolled away, like a huge red wave, rushing towards Lu Fan.

Lu Fan soared into the air, and before he landed, he swung his fist.

"boom!"

A series of loud noises, like thunder, went on and on.

Lu Fan shuttled recklessly in the direction of the gun, and in an instant came to Yan Qing, and slammed his fist down hard.

Yan Qing seemed to have been prepared for a long time, raised the point of the gun, and suddenly a red wall of air appeared in front of him.

Lu Fan's fist hit the air wall, making a muffled sound.

At the same time, strong resistance came.

"boom!"

The air wall was pierced, and Lu Fan's fist slammed down on Yan Qing's head.

The red spear tip appeared abruptly, stabbing at Lu Fan's wrist.

Lu Fan had no choice but to change his tactics.

"boom!"

The fist collided with the tip of the gun again, and the violent power entered Yan Qing's body through the tip of the gun, and exploded in his body.

With a muffled grunt, he flew backwards.

But in the air, he stabilized his body and landed firmly on the competition platform.

Lu Fan was also invaded by a huge force, throwing his body high and falling far backwards.

Immediately afterwards, he twisted his body in the air and landed safely.

It's just that the landing position is farther away than Yan Qing's.

In other words, he was actually slightly disadvantaged in this competition.

"it is good!"

Thunderous cheers erupted from the stands.

Especially Yan Qing's supporters are even more energetic.

After repeated fights, Yan Qing was always pressed and beaten by Lu Fan.

And this round, Yan Qing finally gained the upper hand, and the emotions they had suppressed for many days finally broke out at this moment.

"Yan Qing, come on!"

The sound of cheering was loud.

"Is Lu Fan going to lose?"

For some reason, Li Mu felt a little worried.

Ordinarily, he didn't know Lu Fan well, nor did he know Yan Qing well, so he shouldn't show favoritism.

But in his heart, he was hoping that Lu Fan would win.

Is it because of uncle?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Liu Zhi.

"Lu Fan will never lose."

Liu Zhi was not worried at all, full of confidence.

"Oh."

Li Mu was a little relieved.

Although he is a generation shorter than Liu Zhi, the two of them are actually not much different in age, and they usually play together a lot.

He still believed what this little uncle said.

"Liu Zhi."

Li Tianrun asked suddenly: "Tell me, why can't Lu Fan lose?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the reason is very simple."

Liu Zhi said: "Yan Qing has used all his strength, but Lu Fan has reservations. Although Yan Qing has the upper hand for a while, it may not last long. After a long time, Lu Fan will definitely fight back, and when the time comes, he will defeat Yan Qing in one fell swoop and win this contest."

"Well said."

Li Tianrun gave a compliment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Zhi was very happy to be praised.

Liu Mei beside him glared at him, winked at him, and said with her mouth: "Can you say a few words less?"

"Oh."

Liu Zhi understood, nodded and agreed.

On the competition stage.

Lu Fan and Yan Qing are fighting fiercely.

From being evenly matched at the beginning, to Lu Fan gradually losing the upper hand, many people were sweating for him.

But Lu Fan was not worried.

He had already calculated in his heart that in terms of the subtlety of his moves, he was about the same as Yan Qing.

The strength is also about the same.

Even the body skills, the control over power, and the use of spiritual power are almost the same between the two.

Even Yan Qing will be stronger.

If he wants to win, he can only rely on his strong physical body when he only uses his fists.

To put it bluntly, it is more than consumption.

To deal with Yan Qing, he didn't need to use other martial arts.

Boxing alone is enough.

With Yan Qing's strength at the first rank, it is impossible to overwhelm him.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Lu Fan and Yan Qing continued to fight recklessly without giving each other a chance to breathe.

Both wanted to win with strength, and they were merciless in their shots.

But after a long time, Yan Qing felt something was wrong.

The advantages he had gained before are being regained by Lu Fan little by little.

Moreover, his spiritual power is rapidly depleting, and his successor is exhausted.

What worried him even more was that his internal organs were constantly being shaken by the impacts, and his qi and blood were constantly surging.

He knew he was hurt.

Although the injury is not serious for the time being, as the battle progresses, his injury will gradually increase.

Thus affecting his strength.

On the other hand, Lu Fan, not only had no influence, but became more courageous as he fought.

What kind of monster is this?

Simply counterintuitive.

No matter how strong the physical body is, it is impossible to be so strong?

Yan Qing found that her confidence was slowly disappearing.

He quickly got up his spirits, his body suddenly soared into the air, and the long spear in his hand was dotted in the air, and suddenly the shadow of the gun was heavy.

Like a red flower, blooming in the sky.

There are thousands of flowers densely packed.

Extraordinarily beautiful and charming.

Even coquettish.

It's also kind of weird.

The next moment, countless red flowers gathered together and condensed into a powerful spear intent, like a torrent falling from the sky, pouring down to the ground.

At the same time, Yan Qing, armed with a gun, got mixed up in the torrent and rushed towards Lu Fan.

This is the limit of what Yan Qing can display.

And it can only be used once.

Fight!

It can't be delayed any longer.

The longer the delay, the smaller his chances of winning.

"it is good!"

Seeing this scene, the morale of Yan Qing's supporters was greatly boosted, they all stood up from their seats and shouted vigorously.

They had a hunch that the game was coming to an end.

The outcome will be decided soon.

And Yan Qing undoubtedly took the initiative, and victory was just around the corner.

In stark contrast to them, most of Lu Fan's supporters were silent.

His eyes were full of worry.

It's just because Yan Qing's move is too powerful, I'm not sure if Lu Fan can follow it.

Even Liu Zhi was silent, his heart was hanging in the air, for fear of accidents.

Li Yongtai, Ye Wuchen, Qin Yu, Cao Ning and others all held their breath at this moment, staring at the competition stage without blinking.

For fear of missing even a tiny detail.

They were also not sure whether Lu Fan could withstand Yan Qing's strongest blow.

At this time, Lu Fan, who was in it, could feel the pressure and suffocation coming to his face.

The other party is going to work hard?
Before he had time to think about it, Lu Fan kicked his feet hard, and his body rose into the air.

He didn't flinch or dodge, but rushed towards Yan Qing.

"what?"

Almost everyone focused on Lu Fan and exclaimed.

Everyone was a little surprised by Lu Fan's choice.

Why not stay out of the way for now?
But head-to-head?

After all, Yan Qing was condescending, and he was one with guns, taking the initiative and taking the initiative.

Lu Fan could only act passively and was at a huge disadvantage.

If you fight hard like this, you will suffer.

And it will be a big loss.

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Lu Fan had already soared into the sky.

The next moment, he rushed into the violent torrent.

"boom!"

The continuous bangs exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

Everyone was shocked.

Finally, Lu Fan and Yan Qing collided.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

It was as if Lu Fan had been slammed down by a heavy hammer, his body fell quickly, and he fell heavily on the stage in an instant.

"boom!"

The entire competition arena was shaking.

Even the martial arts field seemed to be shaking.

At this time, Yan Qing's body was thrown into the sky, flying higher and higher.

"puff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned pale.

The previous injury finally broke out at this moment.

I wonder what happened to Lu Fan?

Can it withstand the blow just now?

Yan Qing managed to stabilize his body, and began to slowly fall downwards. He looked at the competition stage, searching for Lu Fan's figure.

At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from the stands.

"it is good!"

There was surprise in the voice.

what happened?

Yan Qing was taken aback, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a figure that soared into the sky and rushed towards him.

not good!

Yan Qing had exhausted all his strength at this time, it would be good if he could stabilize his body.

Coupled with his serious injuries, he was simply unable to make a decent counterattack.

He could only forcefully swing his gun and slash towards that figure.

Although Lu Fan fell heavily to the ground just now, he was almost unscathed.

A little bit of minor injury didn't affect him at all.

Up to this point in the battle, his advantage of physical strength was fully revealed.

Seeing Yan Qing in the air, Lu Fan didn't give him a chance to land at all.

He soared into the air again and rushed towards Yan Qing.

Fist at the same time.

"boom!"

Lu Fan broke through the layers of gun intent with his punches, and directly hit Yan Qing.

"puff!"

Yan Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body quickly fell to the ground.

A moment later, he fell heavily under the competition platform, stirring up a cloud of dust.

But Lu Fan landed safely.

"it is good!"

"Won!"

"Lu Fan!"

Countless people stood up at the same time, raising their arms and shouting.

It's not easy!
This fierce battle is finally over.

The big contest also came to an end.

"Lu Fansheng!"

With the referee's announcement, the stands were boiling again.

"Great!"

Liu Zhi jumped up excitedly, and waved wildly at Lu Fan.

Li Yongtai was even more excited.

Eight first!

Especially the last comprehensive competition is too important.

If Lu Fan can win it, he will not only get various rewards, but also unexpected benefits.

And he, Li Yongtai, will also benefit from it.

In the future, Li Chengan would never try to show off in front of him again.

Also excited were Cao Ning, Meng Ran, Song Yu and others.

Like ordinary people, they were screaming crazily to vent their excitement.

Qin Yu also nodded frequently, convinced, completely convinced!

There is also Ye Wuchen, although he looks calm, but his heart is actually full of ups and downs.

He knew best in his heart what it meant to be the first in the comprehensive competition.

Not only because of the human-level skills, but also because of the combat achievements.

But something more important.

The reason why he joined the army was for the first name in the competition.

Unexpectedly, Lu Fan was fulfilled.

Now he has changed places with Lu Fan.

He has become the chaser.

But that's okay, maybe he will be more motivated.

"Uncle, congratulations."

Prince Li Mu looked at Liu Zhi with a smile, "Your good friend won the final title."

"Happy together, rejoice together."

Liu Zhi smiled and said, "For you, this is also a good thing."

"Ah."

Li Mu thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

The entire Martial arts arena was in the midst of excitement, and the joyous atmosphere made it impossible for people to raise the corners of their mouths.

Even Lu Fan couldn't hide the joy in his heart at this moment, with a smile on his face.

He finally did it!

Eight first!

The most important thing is that the human-level exercises are available.

With these exercises, his strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds.

Break through the first rank and enter the Xiantian realm!
is his current goal.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Many people had sad faces, especially those Dragon Shadow Guards from the Imperial Forest Army, who were even more frowning.

Lost, completely lost.

The powerful Dragon Shadow Guard of the Imperial Forest Army was defeated by Lu Fan alone.

Simply unimaginable.

Li Chengan was the one who was most frustrated.

He had a gloomy face, not knowing what to think.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Li Chengan, come here."

Hearing a familiar voice, Li Chengan quickly stood up and agreed, "Yes."

He trotted to Li Tianrun, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, you are looking for me."

"Ah."

Li Tianrun nodded, "You will come to the stage and say so later."

He whispered a few words.

"Yes!"

Li Chengan answered loudly.

"Go."

Li Tianrun waved his hand.

"Yes."

Li Chengan saluted again, then turned around and walked towards the competition stage.
