General

The carriage continued to drive fast for half a day, and when night fell quietly, the few people finally arrived outside the small town built along the river.

Under a dark night sky, the rushing Jiasi River was rolling eastward. In the mist, the river water slammed against the boulders on the bank, setting off waves half a person's height.

Along the riverside is a path paved with gravel, leading directly to the center of the town.The chariots and horses hurried along the road, and from afar, I saw a cluster of bright fires flickering at the end of the darkness, accompanied by intermittent singing, as if dancing lightly.

Passing through a large area of ​​sparse woods, the eyes suddenly became clear.Lan Jing couldn't wait to pull Li Xuan out of the car, trotted over, the distant flames reflected on his excited handsome face, quietly blooming a touch of seductive color.

Hundreds of villagers, male, female, young or old, formed a large circle on the inner and outer third floors of the open space, singing and dancing. In the middle of the crowd were three clusters of huge bonfires that blazed into the sky, brightly illuminating half of the night sky.

A man with the appearance of an elder walked slowly to the center of the open space with a mahogany cane, raised his hand slightly, and the surroundings instantly became quiet.

"Folks, it's time to choose a new Xuelishi!" Although the old man is old, his voice is very loud, and he speaks with confidence, "Last year's Xuelishi was Chen Aniu, and this year we will challenge him. The hero who can stand to the end in this battle is the new Xuelishi in our town!"

The old man waved his hand and pointed to an old tree outside the crowd, and saw a strong yellow ox tied under the tree, with two bright red silks tied on its horns: "This year's reward is this ox! "

"Wow!"

"Shanwa, not yet!"

"No, brother Zhuzi, I can't beat Ah Niu."

Amidst the cheers that were about to move around, Chen Aniu stood out from the crowd with his arms bare and his chest raised, strode to the center of the open space, raised his muscular arms, and protested in a rough voice: "Who is coming!"

Maybe it was because the cow's reward was too tempting, or maybe it was because he couldn't understand his arrogance. As soon as he finished speaking, a fairly strong man jumped into the circle and shouted: "Me!"

The villagers who were still whispering immediately started booing loudly, and gradually there was a lively sound of laughter and cursing around them.

Li Xuan was squeezed into the front row by Lanjing's hand, but he just stood aside and watched silently, seeming a little out of tune with the extremely lively atmosphere around him.But Lan Jing didn't care at all, and looked sideways at him by the bright firelight, only feeling that his handsome face looked even more mighty and extraordinary under the contrast of light and shadow.

There is no skill at all in the wrestling of the villagers in the mountains. It is entirely based on brute strength.

Chen Aniu kicked the challenger's ass, grinned and mocked loudly: "Next!" The villagers immediately burst into loud laughter.

After winning three games in a row, gradually no one dared to step forward.Just when he was complacently preparing to pick up the oxen, a tall, burly man lazily stepped out of the crowd and provocatively loudly said, "I'll do it!"

Ling Feng was originally squatting on a nearby tree to watch a show, but when he saw the man's well-defined figure, he was slightly taken aback. No matter how he looked, this man didn't look like a commoner, but seemed to be a trainee who deliberately hid himself. family.He immediately frowned slightly, jumped off the branch without making a sound, and sneaked into the crowd.

The big man obviously has good kung fu, and he knocked A Niu to the ground in just ten moves. He struck so hard that A Niu lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.Just as the man was standing in the arena with his hips akimbo all over his face, a thin figure unexpectedly appeared in the arena.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into laughter again.

Because the way this person appeared on the stage was really special, he was pushed into the arena on his stomach and landed on his face first.

He raised his head with force, his face was covered with mud, and he looked very embarrassed.The burly man was taken aback for a moment, then he raised one corner of his mouth and strode up to him in mocking strides, grabbing his arm like he was carrying a chicken and dragging him towards the middle of the open space.

The skinny boy hurriedly struggled desperately, and shouted in a crying voice: "I don't want it, I won't fight you!!"

Unexpectedly, the man acted as if he didn't hear him, and pulled him directly to the campfire and threw him out, saying in a low voice, "Get up and fight."

The boy was savagely thrown to the ground, rolled around in a panic, and his arms almost touched the scorching fire.He was startled immediately, and hastily withdrew his hand, begging for mercy with wide-eyed innocent face: "I admit defeat, let me go!!"

That rustling figure and pitiful tone immediately made the villagers lose their mind to joke. They all changed their tunes and shouted from the side: "Hey! Forget it, he's still a child!"

But for some reason, the man squinted his eyes more and more viciously. While grabbing his shoulders, he continued to threaten aggressively in a rough voice: "Get up and beat me!"

Everyone around saw that the atmosphere was not right, but no one dared to stop it. Just when the strong man impatiently grabbed the boy's skirt and forced him to be lifted from the ground, he suddenly heard a clear voice from the crowd:

"He has already conceded defeat. Seeing what's the point, I said... it's time to change it!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lan Jing's handsome face, with various complex gazes.Li Xuan didn't expect that he would make a sound to stop it and attract everyone's attention, and immediately pulled him to his side vigilantly, even quietly covering Sen Leng's sword hilt with his right hand.

"Who's next!" The big man immediately raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see anyone who dared to step out of the crowd, so he sneered and turned his gaze back to him, and said coldly: "Is it you?" ?”

"It's him!" Lan Jing was guarded by Li Xuan, and he became more courageous. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the side, while provoking loudly, "He just said that he can beat you all over the place without ten moves. tooth!"

Li Xuan was already ready to enter the arena to clean up the mess for him, but when he heard him say that suddenly, he was also slightly taken aback, and looked up along his arm.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, I saw Ling Feng was pointing at himself with blank eyes, and stammered back under everyone's probing eyes: "Uh...me?!"

"Hurry up!" Lan Jing raised her chin towards the arena and hummed inaudibly.

Ling Feng was stupefied with black lines all over his head, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had no choice but to take a step forward, and said loudly, "I've changed my mind now!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Lan Jing also frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Because of your arrogance just now..." Ling Feng smiled with his hands on his hips, "I decided to let you lie at my feet within five moves."

Li Xuan looked at Lan Jing's darkened face instantly, suppressed a smile and pursed his lips slightly, and slowly moved his fingers away from the hilt of the sword.

There was a sigh of relief all around.

Ling Feng wandered lazily to the middle of the open space, squinting at the strong man who had already been furious, and deliberately stood in front of the little boy to give him time to escape.

The strong man let out a low growl of dissatisfaction, and rushed towards him like an enraged bear, but how did the people present know that this seemingly loose and thin man possessed the top martial arts in the entire Longxiao Kingdom.

Ling Feng deliberately withdrew his strength, dodging his all-out punch with a slight dodge, and kicked him lightly on the hollow of his knee with his hands behind his back when his center of gravity was unstable.The man was obviously still surprised that his fast and ruthless attack was in vain. The next moment, he suddenly felt his legs go limp, and he knelt down on the ground, making a loud "plop".

"Wow-!!"

Surprised all four.

Unbelievable exclamations rang out from all directions, Ling Feng smugly patted the dust on his legs, and mocked: "Sorry, I overestimated you!"

"You! Courting death!!" The strong man got up with disbelief on his face, and rushed towards Ling Feng again angrily.

However, Ling Feng's face turned cold suddenly, and he waited for someone to come to him without hiding or dodging. He turned his body slightly, gathered his inner strength in his hands, and punched him hard in the abdomen, knocking him to the ground head-on.

"what--"

The strong man wailed in pain, fell to the ground and covered his stomach with his hands, sweating from the pain, panting sharply, struggling to ask word by word: "Who are you..."

However, Ling Feng completely ignored his question, moved his wrist a few times casually, and joked coldly: "Two tricks."

Perhaps the scene just now was too shocking, and the surroundings suddenly became silent.Looking at each other, in the silent night, there is only the sound of "cracking" in the huge bonfire.

"cough……"

The previous elder walked back to the arena with a cane, looked at Ling Feng cautiously, and said tentatively in a low voice, "Today's Xuelishi has been selected, this is the strong man, everyone must have any opinions?!"

"No no……"

The frightened village names looked at me and I looked at you, and hurriedly waved their hands.

"Then..." The old man turned his head and nodded to another villager, and saw him leading the yellow ox slowly through the crowd, and put the rein in Ling Feng's hand, "This ox is yours Already!"

"No..." Ling Feng opened his mouth dumbly, and looked at the old man blankly, "Why do I want it?!"

"It's getting late, everyone leave!!"

There was a loud shout from nowhere, and the crowd immediately scattered like birds and beasts, supporting the old and carrying the young, and ran away in all directions as if fleeing from the wilderness.

Lan Jing watched the group of villagers disperse at an unbelievable speed, and even the big man scrambled and ran away, so he had to drag Li Xuan to Ling Feng's side slowly, sighed and said : "Seeing that you scare them... I don't know how to restrain myself..."

"Subordinate..." Ling Feng scratched his head innocently. In fact, he didn't intend to make such a cruel move, but what he did in the end was a reflex action that he couldn't control.

Because, the moment that person came in front of him, he felt a certain kind of strong killing intent, from a killer, as strong as blood-soaked killing intent.

Lan Jing didn't know, but Li Xuan could easily see some clues.He stopped Lan Jing from continuing to ask questions with his eyes, turned his head to look at Ling Feng seriously, and asked in a low voice: "Who is he?"

"Yes……"

In the middle of Ling Feng's words, he suddenly stopped talking, gently raised his hand, then turned his head and looked coldly into the distance, "Who!"
