Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 223

On the high platform, everyone finally expressed the relief they had prepared, but the target was changed from the old man in the corner to the Magistrate Guhe next to him.

Xu Sigong smiled at this time and said: "Pei Ye is also one of the few strong players in this year. He can be regarded as one of the faces of our county's selection of warriors. You adults have nothing to lose. Looking at this young man in the next few games, I think he is a stable one." The top eight are guaranteed, and the top four are almost certain.”

Magistrate Gu He turned around and said, "Okay, Mr. Xu! You know the details, but you didn't tell me when I asked you just now."

Xu Sigong laughed and said, "It's unfair, Mr. Qian. Both of them are fourth-generation students. I can't say that your county is doomed. Now, you can enjoy yourself for a while longer, right?"

There was laughter on the stage.

Magistrate Shen had already stood up and went to Chang Zhiyuan. Amidst the congratulations of everyone, he moved the old man's chair to his side and kicked the legs of Magistrate Shen's chair: "Mr. Meng, all the contestants are gone." Yes, you still occupy such a good position. Please move a place for Mr. Chang, we are eager to watch the next show."

Master Meng glanced at him and moved the chair to the left.
-
off the field.

Completely different from the joking atmosphere on stage, the air here was filled with a strange silence.

The tolerants shuttled back and forth between the two rounds, unveiling and writing notes, and were busy preparing for the more important competition in the next round. However, the excited or happy conversations among the winning players under the ring had disappeared, and their eyes were all focused on one place.

In the ring, Pei Ye won the last victory without smiling. When he came down, his first glance was at the person sitting in the audience.

His hair was slightly disheveled, his clothes were floppy, and there was a thin trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, which was the injury caused when he was knocked off the ring in the previous game.

The match between Zhang Zongyuan and Zhang Mozhu is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this round. Zhang Mozhu is the fifth best person after Li Mingqing, while Zhang Zongyuan has not made one more move in the two games - among the 120 eight people, except for Shang Huaitong , it’s just him.

However, this confrontation between the two top four choices ended within five moves.

Everyone clearly remembers the fight just now.

The cauldron sounded, and Zhang Mozhu stepped forward with his sword in hand. It could be seen from his expression that he never looked down upon this unknown opponent.

Baizhuge's movement and swordsmanship are like the two wings on his body. When he flips his wrist in the air and a water-like short blade slides out, those who know how to do it can see that this Zhang Zhenzhuan has already arrived at the Baizhu Martial Arts School. The exquisite realm of "bamboo shoots cast shadows, short light slices snakes".

Although he is often regarded as a person who is one level behind, he is also the only true successor above the Shihui who has not reached the level of [Jiyu], but that is actually only because the person above him is too strong, not because he is too weak.

He doesn't have any adventures, nor does he know any magic swords. In a place like Bowang State, he is the most upright talent, representing the pinnacle of Bowang's young warriors.

For such a prominent figure, his first sword strike was with all his strength, as if a white swallow flew through the air, and the dagger sticking out was his sharp beak.

Fast, light, and strong, this is definitely the most exciting move that has appeared in the ring in the past two days. Wu Sheng's speed and power burst out for the first time without reservation. The stands were filled with cheers, and the intensity of the battle was unprecedented. From the very beginning, it reached an unprecedented level.

Zhang Zongyuan did not move until Zhang Mozhu had swept two-thirds of the way.

The man stood still, with only one stick thrust out in front of his face, with an impressive power like a tiger emerging from the forest.

Baizhu Pavilion's body skills are displayed here. A stick and a person meet each other head on. Zhang Mozhu's body is as light as weightless. He stretches out his arm and touches the stick lightly. When he turns over, his clothes bloom into a light lotus. , people are already in front of Zhang Zongyuan.

Then, like a flower heart spitting out pistil, a short sword came out silently.

It is natural to use "heavy" and "strong" to compare a short sword with a light blade against a heavy stick with wind and thunder. Therefore, all countermeasures are nothing more than "avoiding the real and attacking the weak".It just so happened that Baizhu Pavilion had the body skills like a leaf in the wind that could avoid the real thing, and the sword skills like a wasp's tail needle that could break through the void.

This is also the reason why people think this scene will be exciting enough to watch.

The quality of the first round was indeed up to people's expectations. Not to mention Zhang Mozhu's flowing movements, the stick in Zhang Zongyuan's hand also showed the power of wind and thunder for the first time.

And just when people thought this was just the beginning, Zhang Mozhu's face was revealed behind the flying white clothes.

Different from the cool and calm expression that everyone imagined, it showed an expression of gritting one's teeth and enduring the pain.

As soon as Zhang Zongyuan pressed the end of the stick, the parallel long stick suddenly stood upright, the end shattered the ring, and stood on the ground like a Dinghai magic needle.

Then he swept up the stick.

Everyone noticed the sudden derailment of events.

This was not a tit-for-tat battle between "long and heavy" and "short and fast" - Zhang Zongyuan directly gave up the advantage of long soldiers and took the initiative to meet Zhang Mozhu in the air with his bare hands.

And it turned out that the one who was "faster" was not the handsome young master. The speed at which the man swooped up was even more frightening. He was also heavy and powerful, like a attacking eagle.

And in front of the thick claws and heavy beak is a small white swallow with thin bones and weak feathers.

Zhang Zongyuan held the stick with one hand and punched out with the other arm. The wind howled violently, and the black robe fluttered open in the wind, covering the man's flying white shirt.

With such a punch coming through the face, Zhang Mozhu managed to retract the short blade halfway through his shot, and his body suddenly twisted in the air.It was as if wings were really flying out of the void. Although there was absolutely nothing to rely on, his body suddenly moved up a zigzag curve for more than a foot, and in the blink of an eye he was once again several feet above Zhang Zongyuan.

[Inverted Harrier Wing], this is the most iconic movement technique of Baizhu Pavilion. It can support the practitioner to avoid the enemy's killing move, adjust himself to a suitable position for the move, and at the same time send out the short sword, which is for victory or defeat. The reverse move.

This is a movement technique that disciples must learn at the beginning, but only a few outstanding ones can use it in the air. And like now, after a wing flip in the air, it is followed by a faster and stronger wing flip. Among Baizhu's disciples, there is only one Zhang Mozhu.

Such an amazing display of body skills allowed him to avoid Zhang Zongyuan's full-strength killing punch. Where the punch failed, there was an explosion in the air.

But the next moment, a mountain-shattering force hit hard.

Zhang Zongyuan's body was completely in the air. The moment his left fist missed the target, the man twisted his waist, and his strength burst out, reaching the tip of his right arm.

Driven by this force, the long stick suddenly cut across a sharp semicircle, swung upward, and the invisible air flow was cut into a blade-like arc.

In the sudden contraction of his heart, Zhang Mozhu turned his wrist sharply, the short blade pressed tightly against his forearm, and his true energy penetrated crazily.

He only had time to make these moves before Zhang Zongyuan slammed into him with his stick.There was a muffled thunderous blow, and the arms, chest and abdomen, and the entire body were shaken out of the turmoil. The body flew out sideways and hit the ground heavily.

When he struggled to adjust his breath, regained his resistance, and stood up from the ground, he saw that he was already under the ring.

In the square, exclamations and silence seemed to coexist at the same time. People looked at the true successor of the Third Bowang, and only then did they find the reason why he showed pain in the first place.

——He clicked on the stick with the hand he was trying to use for strength. At this moment, he slowly raised it in front of him, with the skin torn open and blood flowing freely.

This is why the atmosphere under the ring is quiet at this time.

The cause of Zhang Mozhu's defeat was clear and obvious. There was no trick or a mistake in the game. He was completely inferior by a whole level.

There is no way to compete with moves and lengths, strength, speed, Qi. In all basic qualities, Zhang Zongyuan has completely crushed him.

This only means one thing.

This strange man invited by the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce finally revealed his true state to everyone in the Jinqiu Wubi.

64 branches, six branches of vein tree.

Everyone knew that he was a dark horse, but when the curtain was lifted, what was revealed was a fierce tiger.

The leader's position seemed to be occupied by a second person.

------------

"You must be careful." Li Mingqing looked at Pei Ye, Yang Yan and Chen Yao in front of him, frowning slightly, "This person looks very serious in his attack - Senior Sister Shen Yao, if you encounter me, you should admit defeat." Just admit defeat, it’s nothing.”

Shen Yao nodded: "Don't worry, junior sister, I will take care of it."

The girl looked at him, but before she could say anything, Pei Ye took the first step and said seriously: "You must admit defeat immediately when you meet Shang Huaitong. Don't hesitate, and don't fight."

"." Li Mingqing was noncommittal.

"You will lose the battle if you admit defeat, but you will lose the battle if you lose and injure someone." Pei Ye looked at her seriously, "You are already injured, don't give him a chance to take action, do you hear me?"

". Got it." The girl said dully.

Pei Ye was relieved and turned to look at Zhang Junxue. The woman was silently wiping her heavy knife.

".Jun Xue."

The woman looked up.

Pei Ye opened his mouth: "Be careful."

"Ah."

No matter how shocked and nervous the players are, and how they encourage each other with their acquaintances, the next round will start as usual, and the powerful opponents will not change.

After half an hour's rest, a cauldron sounded, and the sixteen winners once again lined up under their respective rings.

At this point, there is no weak player.

Among them, the eight stronger ones will be determined, representing the highest level of this golden autumn martial arts competition.At this point, every step forward means a completely different level, and the draw becomes more and more the key factor in determining victory or defeat.

Especially for ordinary warriors in the middle and lower ranks, there are already too many people who cannot be encountered at this time.

The arena was cleaned and the curtain was replaced. The drawing of 16 people in two rounds was quickly completed and the roll call began again.

"League A, the first match, Li Mingqing and Zhang Huan."

"The second game, Shang Huaitong and Zhao Yanshang."

"The third game, Yu Yingcai and Guan Yuan."

"The fourth game, Gu Guang, Zhang Junxue."

"Lei B, the first match, Pei Ye and Fu Jianyu."

"The second game, Yang Yan, Lin Guihe."

"The third game, Shen Yao, Yang Shibin."

"The fourth game, Zhang Zongyuan, Zhu Shaoqiu."

For many viewers who have been watching here from the beginning, this lottery result actually represents the top eight candidates who will qualify.

On the high platform, Xu Sigong also smiled at the officials and shook his head: "We really didn't do anything."

The result was indeed no suspense.

The first person to step into the top eight was Li Mingqing.

In the four rounds of competition, the girl never gave people any eye-catching performance, but she never disappointed anyone.She has been steadily demonstrating the dominance that a strong five-year-old should have, and she has never taken more than ten moves against any enemy.

She is the inheritor of the best swordsmanship in Bowang Province. At this time, facing Zhang Huan, the fifth-life [fish cultivator] from Qijiao Cave, she showed her knowledge seriously for the first time. The edge of "Yellow Jade" screamed and bloomed on the stage. Compared with Zhang Mozhu's "Bamboo Cutting Sword", this is a more impressive swordsmanship.

Using Qijiaodong Wusheng's body as a step, in the first scene of sixteen to eight, the girl showed the audience an even better and more wonderful performance.

second round.

Seeing the girl in the green skirt twisting the opponent's long sword with her two swords and then walking off the stage gracefully, Shang Huaitong calmly averted his eyes, raised his sword and went down to beat her.

This girl will not be the stubborn weed that can test the "Weeding Chapter". She is indeed strong enough, but she completely lacks the strength to face him, and it can be clearly seen from some subtle avoidances that the injuries on her body are still there. There is no recovery.

But it doesn't matter. As the martial arts competition progresses, these weak weeds will drift down with the wind. He will definitely meet someone strong enough to sharpen that sword.

He knew that this person must exist.

The master said that the Qisheng who wanted to pick the fruit died in Changdao Martial Arts Hall. At that time, there were three people in the martial arts hall who needed attention - Pei Ye, Yang Yan, and Zhang Junxue.

One was a fifth-born, two were fourth-born, and they actually killed a seventh-born.

After meeting Pei Ye, he knew that he must be the so-called "fruit".

He was very sure that this young man could be his sharpening stone, but it didn't have to be him - Zhang Junxue and Yang Yan probably also had the power to cause harm to Qisheng.

As long as "Pulling Grass" can remove strong enough obstacles, it will prove that it can fill the gap of "Youxian".You can really master this "Sword of Yusei" by yourself.

Shang Huaitong stepped onto the ring step by step, and the cheers around him became more and more surging around him.

He held the sword calmly, his mind slowly immersed in it.

He often goes deep into the earth with his hands or sword and feels their pulse in the darkness. At this time, that feeling returns to his body, as if he is deep in the earth.

All the real scenery on the ring, in the square, and in the sky took a step back. He slowly raised his hand, and all he touched was silence and countless threads.

Joy, emotion, glory, and interests are all the offerings he deserves, and they are pulsing along this thread.

Shang Huaitong looked down at the martial arts field from this perspective.

Who can reach this realm?
In front of such a sword, "move" is a ridiculous joke, and "movement" is just a toy that can be played with at will. The so-called "Yellow Jade" and the so-called "Bamboo Cutting Sword", these crude things they are so obsessed with, are really Is it worth a try?

They will never know for the rest of their lives what a real sword is.

With such a sword in hand, Bowangzhou is just a bunch of ducks quacking, eating shit and catching insects. Who among them can and why dare to be above themselves!

Shang Huaitong walked forward expressionlessly on the ring.

Not to mention the grass and trees, I am all mine.

Except for this grass in front of me.

At the center of it all, he was competing with himself for this pulsating supply.

weed.

A sword passed by, and the grass left the soil.

The whole place was roaring with a roar, and Shang Huaitong felt those thin threads trembling with excitement.

He walked out of the ring with his sword in hand and became the second choice for the top eight.

But for him, when he got here, the martial arts competition had just begun.

The third person to step into the top eight is Pei Ye.

He was ranked in the first round of the second round. He was supposed to advance at about the same time as Li Mingqing, but he was delayed until after Shang Huaitong.

It has always been like this. This young man's competition is always slower than other players of the same level. He is always less sharp and too modest. For the weak players, if they must lose, everyone is more willing to lose. In the hands of this young man.

He was very polite and even put himself too low. He always used an attitude of knowing and even asking for advice when fighting swords with opponents who were far inferior to him.

He doesn't seem to have any desire for victory. There are no excited cheers after his victory, and he never regards his defeat as a step to win the cheers of others. As long as there are no extravagances, you can lose under him very gracefully, even comfortably.

The only ones who were still surprised were the county magistrates on the high platform.

The fourth place is Yang Yan.

After the powerful sword skills killed four opponents, the clothes he wore no longer made people laugh, but formed a strange and powerful impression.

Compared to the young boy above, his fighting style is much more violent. Although he is also polite, his desire for victory has already been reflected in the fight.He has been going all out and not giving his opponent any chance.

Although some people have said that strength is easy to break, but isn't martial arts always a head-on confrontation? People have no doubt that this young man has the strength to stand among the top four.

The fifth place is Shen Yao.

Cuiyu Sword Sect is the only five-year-old besides the young master. From Yilan Mountain to Shaolong Mansion to Luzhou Poetry Club, she has been qualified to support this facade for half a year.Now, she sheathed her sword smoothly once again and stepped down from the stage, stepping into her fifth place in the top eight.

The sixth one to break out of the encirclement was Yu Yingcai, dressed as a scholar dressed as a scholar, who surpassed Shen Yao in the poetry meeting.

Although he had been defeated by a young boy with one move, but the strength of the senior five students was absolutely immeasurable. If the situation of that day happened again, he would never choose to fight with Pei Ye in sword moves, and the result would be unknown. .

Compared to Shen Yao, he is a more capable threat to the top four.

The seventh place is of course Zhang Zongyuan.

After stepping over Zhang Mozhu, he once again regained his style of defeating the enemy with one stick. However, the opponent who had drawn him had already looked stiff, but he was just going on stage to go through the motions.

This man who suddenly appeared and made a sensation, his silence defiantly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Of course he wants to win.

The competition for the eighth seat also started with the sound of the tripod.

On the ring, the two sides stood facing each other with swords in their hands, generally tall and silent.

Zhang Junxue, Gu Guang.

Only one of them can make it to the next step.
