Chapter 171 The First Competition

next six days.

Ren Pingsheng would spare some time every day to compete with Xia Xiaoxia to improve his actual combat ability.

Other than that, he would occasionally bully and bully Jiang Chuyue, or go to Yong'an Palace to have a tryst with his sister-in-law.

Time flies by like a horse.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to compete with the Yaozu envoys.

The location of the competition was set at Yuanwu Lake, next to Baizi Temple on Central Island.

thousands of years ago.

Facing the powerful monster race, the hero of the ancient times——Bai Yue saved the human race from the fire and water with his own efforts.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye it is already a sea of ​​vicissitudes.

Many things have gradually dissipated in the long river of history, but what remains unchanged is that the monster race is still the most threatening enemy to the human race.

Emperor Zhaowu set the location of the competition here, presumably on purpose.

Just don't know.

In front of this human hero, can Ren Pingsheng's nine people live up to their mission and defeat the arrogance of the monster race?

time.

The east bank of Yuanwu Lake was already full of people who came to watch.

With the help of the Yaozu Mission, no one knows about the martial arts competition.

It matters a lot.

Even those who don't like to join in the fun on weekdays will rush to the lakeside early, hoping to occupy a better position.

"A lot of people..."

On the island in the middle of the lake, Jiang Chuyue stared blankly at the turbulent crowd on the shore, and muttered to herself.

Ren Pingsheng looked up, and wherever he looked, there were crowds of people watching.

Such a grand occasion.

It made him think of the scene he saw when he accompanied his sister-in-law to watch the Dragon Boat Festival a few months ago.

rough estimate.

The people who came this time were much more than the Dragon Boat Festival.

"It seems that the people in the capital already know the content of the agreement..."

A low voice came from the ear.

Ren Pingsheng turned his head to look, and it was Xiao Jing'an Hou Shize who was speaking.

now.

His expression was serious, his brows were full of determination, and he said forcefully: "This competition is related to the fate of my country. Even if we risk our lives, we must win!"

The voice fell.

The crowd was just silent.

Knowing that he was ready to die, Ren Pingsheng held back what he wanted to say without saying a word.

half an hour.

Suddenly, there was a burst of heated discussions on the east bank of the lake.

The onlookers were all pointing in a certain direction.

"The people from the Yaozu are here?"

Ren Pingsheng looked in the direction they pointed, and he saw a group of "people" in strange clothes not far away.

Walking in the forefront is a young man with a tall and straight figure and a handsome appearance.

Compared with handsome, the word coquettish may be more appropriate.

Because his facial features are too delicate, and his skin is too delicate.

It is no exaggeration to say that even compared to my sister-in-law who is still a young girl, she is not too shy.

Physical appearance is not the point.

The point is who he is.

He walked at the forefront, and the monsters behind him didn't dare to be presumptuous.

Even Ye Xuan, who has always been insolent, and the banshee who had a double-faced relationship, showed respect.

"Could it be a great demon from the Transcendent Realm?"

Ren Pingsheng stared straight at the alluring young man, making a guess in his heart.

at this time.

A deep and magnetic voice resounded over the island in the middle of the lake.

"Jiuying...is your team all here?"

The one who spoke was Cheng Daru, the sacrificial wine of the Holy Court.

not far away.

The coquettish young man was expressionless and nodded slightly.

"Great Demon Nine Infants, I didn't expect it to be the emissary of the demon clan this time!"

Xiao Xiaoxia's slightly surprised voice came from his ear.

Ren Pingsheng asked curiously: "Is it very strong?"

He has lived in the northern region for a long time, and he knows the strong men of the barbarian race very well, but he doesn't know much about the strong men of the monster race.

Xiao Rongxue said sternly: "He is the youngest super-ordinary expert of the Yaozu, and it took him only 30 years to go from ninth-rank to super-ordinary.
When he became famous back then, the imperial court even organized strong men to enter the demon clan's territory to hunt him down, but it ended in failure..."

It really is a great monster in the Transcendent Realm.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Jiuying, and said in a low voice, "He is very courageous. He even dared to go deep into the capital alone. If Emperor Zhaowu organizes strong men to hunt him down, I don't know how likely he is to escape back to the south."

Xiao Rongxue said in a deep voice: "Perhaps it is precisely because he is sure of escaping hunting that he dares to come to the capital alone."

Between two people talking.

Cheng Daru has completed negotiations with Jiuying.

I don't know when.

Xu Ruxian, the royal censor of Zuodu, and Wang Zheng, the chief inspector of ceremonies, also came to the island in the middle of the lake.

The two stimulated the spiritual energy in their bodies, soared into the air, and suspended in mid-air.

With Cheng Daru and the great demon Jiuying, they each occupy a corner.

follow closely.

Four superpowers shot at the same time, using majestic aura to isolate a small space.

This space has water, land and air, enough for fifth-rank monks to fully utilize it.

"In the first match, Zhu Yan from the Monster Race will face Daoist Priest Xuancheng of the Great Zhou!"

The melodious sound centered on the island in the middle of the lake and spread out.

On the east bank, the onlookers were all elated after hearing this.

Da Zhou here.

The order of appearance was arranged three days ago.

Daozun's personal disciple and aunt's younger brother——Daoist Xuancheng, his superficial strength and actual combat ability are both quite satisfactory.

The first to appear on the stage can test the opponent's reality and lay the foundation for the latecomers.

It doesn't matter if you lose.

Monster here.

The order of appearance is also mentioned and arranged.

Looking up, I saw a rough and strong man walking out from the opposite side.

Barefoot and muscular body, eyes twinkling.

A quarrel is like a butcher's fire bowl.

Fangs supporting the blade, red hair unkempt.

The image is somewhat similar to Sha Wujing in Journey to the West.

The two walked into the spiritual space one after the other.

After standing in their respective positions, they silently waited for the competition to begin.

Accompanied by a dull bell.

The competition has officially started!
Taoist Xuancheng stood in place, motionless, carefully observing the other party, trying to find flaws.

opposite.

The monster clan who looked like Sha Wujing cast a contemptuous glance at Taoist Xuancheng.

Immediately afterwards, he made an unexpected action.

I saw him ignoring Daoist Xuan Cheng who was concentrating on it and was ready to attack at any time, and sat down cross-legged.

at the same time.

Ren Pingsheng and the others on the island in the middle of the lake could clearly feel that the surrounding aura was converging on him.

Just a few breaths.

His aura continued to rise at an extremely fast speed, reaching a new level.

"He's... breaking through?!"

When everyone, including Ren Pingsheng, saw this scene, their pupils shrank violently, and their faces were filled with disbelief.

Don't talk about them.

Even the three superpowers hanging in the air were shocked when they saw this scene.

To know.

The rules of the competition only stipulated that one must be below the fourth rank before the competition, but did not stipulate that the state of being below the fourth rank must be maintained after the competition.

in other words.

Completed the breakthrough in the process of the competition, completely complying with the rules.

only……

If you really want him to complete the breakthrough, what is the need for a competition?

Even if it's just a fourth-rank player who has just completed a breakthrough, against a fifth-rank player, let alone crushing, at least he can win without any effort.

"It's no wonder that Jiuying proposed such a competition rule. It turned out that he really planned to break through after the competition..."

The supervisor of ceremonies, Wang Zheng, stared blankly at this scene, with a hint of trance in his eyes.

this circumstance occurs.

He and Emperor Zhaowu were not unexpected.

just.

In their view, it is too difficult to achieve a breakthrough by suppressing the realm until after the competition.

Moreover, in the process of breaking through, there is no one to protect, and it is easy to be defeated.

Even if someone can really suppress the realm, it is almost impossible to achieve a breakthrough when it comes to the competition field.

soon.

Everyone realized this, and they all reminded: "Don't let him complete the breakthrough! Hurry up!"

Actually.

Their voices could not be heard in the competition arena at all.

and.

Daoist Xuan Cheng, who was tense, reacted faster than them.

Almost at the moment when he realized that the opponent was breaking through.

He has already shot.

He threw out a piece of talisman paper and threw it at the opponent.

The talisman paper drew a curve in the air, and landed precisely in front of Zhu Yan.

Bang!
Only a bang was heard.

The mud flew, and the smoke and dust splashed in all directions.

After a few breaths.

All returned to calm.

Zhu Yan still sat where he was, motionless.

The breath around him is still rising.

"Damn!"

Seeing this scene, Taoist Xuancheng couldn't help cursing secretly.

He clearly knew.

He must not allow the opponent to complete the breakthrough, otherwise he would be affected not only by himself, but also the eight people behind.

Because according to the rules of the competition, only one side will end if it is defeated.

If this guy advances to the fourth rank, after he loses, the next few people will most likely also suffer setbacks!

Thinking of this.

He didn't dare to have any more scruples, mobilized the spiritual energy in his whole body, held the fly whisk in one hand, and the long sword in the other, and rushed towards the opponent.

on the way.

The whisk flicked lightly.

Countless fallen leaves on the ground turned into hidden weapons like darts, smashing towards Zhu Yan overwhelmingly.

Almost at the same time.

Stabbing out the long sword, the point of the sword is exactly the center of Zhu Yan's eyebrows!
In the previous two days of sparring.

Facing this move, even the mighty Xiao Nuxia had to avoid the edge for the time being.

Taoist Xuan Cheng is very confident.

If Zhu Yan didn't stop breaking through and took this move, he would definitely die!
Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The sword's edge was only a short distance away from Zhu Yan's eyebrows.

But Zhu Yan didn't have the slightest intention of making a move, he still sat cross-legged on the spot, motionless.

"court death!"

Daoist Xuancheng's eyes burst out with sharp light, and he was sure of winning. He mobilized his whole body's spiritual energy and stabbed out this slaying sword!
Boom boom boom!
Between lightning and flint.

The ground around Zhu Yan suddenly cracked open.

The smoke and dust all over the sky suddenly drowned the two of them.

"What's the situation inside? Why is that demon clan sitting still, letting Taoist Xuancheng beat him?"

"Who can see clearly, did Taoist Xuancheng kill that beast?"

"If this can't be killed, it will really be a joke!"

shore.

The onlookers pointed and pointed at the martial arts arena, talking a lot.

Ren Pingsheng and the others frowned, their hearts hanging in the air.

Because they know it in their hearts.

Yaozu is not stupid.

It is impossible to commit an act of death.

Since he dared to choose a breakthrough at this time, he must have a certain hole card.

Just don't know.

Can Taoist Xuancheng crack it.

If Zhu Yan finally breaks through to the fourth rank, things will be troublesome.

time flies.

After a while.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing the situation inside.

Where Zhu Yan was sitting cross-legged, a small hole appeared.

now.

He just stood in the air, like a statue, motionless.

His eyes flickered, like two lights at the bottom of a stove, which was daunting.

not far away.

Taoist Xuan Cheng half-kneeled on the ground, covering his chest with one hand, and the corner of his mouth was full of blood.

"He... broke through to the fourth rank!"

Realize this.

The other eight people, including Ren Pingsheng, all became extremely dignified, and each of them fell silent without saying a word.

same.

On the east bank.

The people were also dead silent.

Many people still can't believe that what they see is real.

"Daoist Xuancheng... unexpectedly lost?"

In the arena.

Taoist Xuancheng clutched his chest, struggling to get up.

Before he could stand up, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The body faltered again.

opposite.

Zhu Yan looked at Taoist Xuancheng with contempt, and walked up to him slowly.

He raised his foot and stepped on his shoulder with a little force.

The weak Taoist Xuancheng knelt directly on the ground.

just.

He did not give in, and stretched out his hand to reach the long sword beside him with the last bit of strength.

"Ah!"

Zhu Yan looked down at Taoist Xuancheng condescendingly, and let out a disdainful snort.

Kicked the long sword away with one kick.

Immediately after, put your foot on his head until he is fully prostrate on the ground.

Turning around, facing the onlookers on the east bank, raising his head slightly, he put on a show of might.

silence.

Deathly silence.

face such insults.

Countless faces turned red and their chests felt tight, wishing to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

but.

At this moment, they can only watch from a distance, there is nothing they can do.

"It's no wonder that the Yaozu Mission spared no effort to publicize this competition, originally they wanted to take advantage of this competition to discourage the people of our Great Zhou.

These monsters... their hearts can be punished! "

Little Jing Anhou's eyes were red, and he squeezed out these words from his teeth.

Everyone was silent.

Compared with the provocation of Yaozu.

What they care more about is the next competition.

A fourth product.

Neither of them was sure of defeating the other, including Ren Pingsheng.

Just when everyone was thinking about how to deal with this sudden change.

Little Jing'anhou's voice sounded again: "Next time, I'll come!"

The voice fell.

Everyone looked at him, thought for a while, and nodded, agreeing with his thoughts.

at the same time.

In the arena.

Zhu Yan, who won the victory, did not kill Taoist Xuancheng, but began to torture him.

First break his legs, and then break his feet.

The cruelty of the method made countless people turn their faces away, couldn't bear it, and didn't dare to look at it again.

When Taoist Xuancheng was bloody and bloody, only one breath was left.

He grabbed his hair and threw him out like trash.

"Damn things!"

Seeing Taoist Xuancheng who was tortured to the point of being inhuman.

Even Ren Pingsheng, who had no friendship with him, couldn't help but blush.

There was an urge to rush in and treat him in his own way.

side.

Xiao Jing'an Hou could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, and rushed directly into the arena.

Facing the brutal Zhu Yan.

He didn't have the slightest fear, and said sharply: "You dog! How you tortured Taoist Xuancheng just now, I will torture you even more severely later!"

Zhu Yan stood where he was, still with a look of disdain, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

at the same time.

The melodious voice sounded again, breaking the silence.

"The second match, Zhu Yan from the Monster Race will face Da Zhou Shize!"
