Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

for the next six days.

Ren Pingsheng would take some time to compete with Xiao Nuxia every day to improve his actual combat ability.

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

Time flies by like a white horse.

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

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

Thousands of years ago.

Facing the powerful monster clan, Bai Yue, the hero from ancient times, single-handedly saved the human race from the fire and water.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and the world has changed in a blink of an eye.

Many things have gradually disappeared in the long river of history, but what remains unchanged is that the monster race is still the greatest threat to the human race.

Emperor Zhaowu set the location of the competition here, which must have been intentional.

Just don't know.

In front of this human hero, can the nine people of Ren Pingsheng fulfill their mission and defeat the geniuses of the demon clan?

Chenshi.

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

With the help of the demon mission, everyone knows about the martial arts competition.

The stakes are high.

Even people who don't like to join in the fun usually come to the lakeside early, hoping to occupy a better position.

"There are so many people..."

On the island in the middle of the lake, Jiang Chuyue stared blankly at the surging crowds on the shore and murmured to herself.

Ren Pingsheng raised his eyes and saw that everywhere he looked, there were people watching.

Such a grand scene.

He couldn't help but think of what he saw when he accompanied his sister-in-law to watch the Dragon Boat Festival a few months ago.

rough estimate.

This time, many more people came than during the Dragon Boat Festival.

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

A deep voice came from my ears.

Ren Pingsheng turned around to look, and the person speaking was Xiao Jingan Hou Shize.

now.

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

The words fell.

Everyone was just silent.

Ren Pingsheng knew that he was ready to die, so he suppressed what he wanted to say and said nothing.

A long while.

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

The people watching were all pointing in a certain direction.

"Is the demon clan here?"

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

The person walking at the front was a young man, tall and tall, with handsome appearance.

Rather than 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 when compared with my sister-in-law who is still a girl, she is still inferior.

Body appearance is not the important point.

The focus is on his identity.

He walked at the front, but the demons behind him did not dare to be a little presumptuous.

Even Ye Xuan, who had always been arrogant, behaved respectfully with the banshee who had a double relationship.

"Is it a great demon in the extraordinary realm?"

Ren Pingsheng stared straight at the charming young man and made a guess in his mind.

at this time.

A deep and magnetic voice sounded over the island in the center of the lake.

"Jiuying... are all your people here?"

The speaker was Cheng Daru, the sacrificial wine of the Holy Court.

not far away.

The charming young man had an expressionless face and nodded slightly.

"The great demon Jiuying, I didn't expect that this time the messenger of the demon tribe would be it!"

Xiao Nuxia's slightly surprised voice came to my ears.

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

He has lived in the north for a long time and knows the powerful barbarians very well, but he doesn't know much about the powerful monsters.

Xiao Rongxue said sternly: "He is the youngest person in the extraordinary realm of the Demon Clan. It only took thirty years to go from ninth grade to extraordinary.

When he became famous, the imperial court also organized strong men to enter the territory of the demon clan to hunt him, but it ended in failure..."

It is indeed a great demon in the extraordinary realm.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Jiuying and lowered his voice and said, "He is quite courageous. He actually dared to go deep into the capital alone. If Emperor Zhaowu organized strong men to hunt him down, I wonder how sure he would be able to escape back to the south."

Xiao Rongxue said solemnly: "Perhaps it is because I am sure of escaping the hunt that I dare to come to the capital alone."

During the conversation between the two.

Cheng Daru has completed negotiations with Jiuying.

I don’t know when.

Xu Ruxian, the censor of Zuodu, and Wang Zheng, the chief official of the ceremonial department, also came to the island in the middle of the lake.

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

Together with Cheng Daru and the great demon Jiu Ying, they each occupy a corner.

follow closely.

Four extraordinary powerful men took action at the same time, using their majestic spiritual energy to isolate a medium-sized space.

This space contains water, land and air, which is enough for a fifth-grade monk to give full play to his abilities.

"The first competition, the demon Zhu Yan versus the Taoist priest Xuancheng of Great Zhou Dynasty!"

The melodious sound spread out from the island in the center of the lake.

On the east bank, the onlookers all became excited after hearing this.

Da Zhou's side.

The order of appearance was arranged three days ago.

Taoist Master's direct disciple and my aunt's younger brother - Taoist Master Xuancheng, both his superficial strength and actual combat ability are quite satisfactory.

Being the first to appear can test the opponent's strength and lay the foundation for those who come after you.

It doesn't matter if you lose.

The demon clan’s side.

The order of appearance is also arranged by mentioning.

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

Bare feet and muscles, eyes twinkling.

The quarrels are like the butcher's fire bowl.

The fangs support the blade of the sword, and the red hair is shaggy.

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

The two of them walked into the aura space one after the other.

After everyone took their positions, they waited silently for the competition to begin.

Accompanied by a dull bell.

The competition officially begins!

Taoist Master Xuancheng stood there, motionless, observing the other party carefully, trying to find any flaws.

opposite.

The monster like Sha Wujing glanced at Taoist Xuancheng with contempt.

Immediately afterwards, he made an unexpected move.

I saw that he ignored Taoist Xuancheng who was attentive and ready to attack at any time, and sat down cross-legged.

at the same time.

Ren Pingsheng and others on the island in the center of the lake could clearly feel that the spiritual energy around him was gathering on him.

Just a few breaths.

His breath 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, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Don't talk about them.

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

To know.

The competition rules only stipulate that one must be below the fourth level before the competition, but they do not stipulate that one must maintain a state below the fourth level after the competition.

in other words.

Achieving a breakthrough during the competition was completely in line with the rules.

only……

If he really wants to achieve a breakthrough, why is there any need to compete?

Even if it's just a fourth-grade player who has just made a breakthrough, against a fifth-grade player, not to mention crushing him, he can at least win effortlessly.

"No wonder Jiuying came up with such competition rules. It turned out that he really planned to make a breakthrough after the competition..."

Wang Zheng, the Chief of Ceremonies, stared blankly at this scene with a dazed look in his eyes.

this circumstance occurs.

It was not that he and Emperor Zhaowu had not expected it.

only.

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

Moreover, during the breakthrough process, there is no one to protect and it is easy to be defeated.

Even if someone can achieve the realm of suppression, it will be almost impossible to achieve a breakthrough on the competition field.

soon.

Everyone realized this and reminded one after another: "Don't let him complete the breakthrough! Come on!"

Actually.

Their voices could not reach the competition venue at all.

and.

The nervous Taoist Master Xuancheng reacted faster than them.

Almost at the moment when he realized that the other party was making a breakthrough.

He has already taken action.

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

The talisman drew a curve in mid-air and landed accurately in front of Zhu Yan.

Bang!

Only an explosion was heard.

Mud was flying and smoke was flying.

After a few breaths.

Everything returned to calm.

Zhu Yan was still sitting there, motionless.

The aura around him is still rising.

"Damn it!"

Taoist priest Xuancheng couldn't help but cursed secretly when he saw this scene.

He knew it clearly.

You must not let the opponent complete the breakthrough, otherwise not only you will be affected, but also the eight people behind you.

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

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

This is the thought.

He did not dare to have any scruples anymore, mobilized all the spiritual energy in his body, held the fly whisk in one hand and the long sword in the other, and rushed towards the opponent.

on the way.

Whisk lightly.

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

Almost at the same time.

The long sword was thrust out, and the tip of the sword pointed at Zhu Yan's eyebrows!

During the discussions in the previous two days.

Facing this move, even the powerful Xiao Nuxia had to avoid the edge temporarily.

Taoist priest Xuancheng is very confident.

If Zhu Yan doesn't stop breaking through and takes this move, he will definitely die!

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

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

Zhu Yan had no intention of taking action, and still sat cross-legged, motionless.

"court death!"

Taoist Priest Xuancheng's eyes flashed with sharp light. He was confident of victory. He mobilized his spiritual energy and thrust out this fatal sword!

Boom boom boom!

Between the lightning and flint.

The ground around Zhu Yan suddenly cracked.

The sky filled with smoke and dust suddenly engulfed the two of them.

"What's going on inside? Why is that monster sitting still and letting Taoist Xuancheng beat him?"

"Who can see clearly, has Taoist Xuancheng killed that monster?"

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

shore.

The people who were watching pointed at the competition field and talked about it.

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

Because they know it in their hearts.

The demon clan is not stupid.

It is impossible to commit suicide.

Since he dares to choose to break through at this time, he must have certain trump cards.

Just don't know.

Can Taoist Xuancheng crack it?

If that Zhu Yan finally breaks through to the fourth level, things will be in trouble.

time flies.

After a while.

The smoke gradually dispersed, revealing the situation inside.

Where Zhu Yan originally sat cross-legged, a pit of moderate size appeared.

At this moment.

He stood in the air, like a sculpture, motionless.

His eyes flickered, like two lamps under a stove, intimidating.

Not far away.

Taoist Xuancheng half-knelt on the ground, one hand covering his chest, with blood at the corner of his mouth.

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

Realizing this.

The other eight people, including Ren Pingsheng, all became extremely solemn, and fell silent one by one, without saying a word.

Similarly.

On the east bank.

The people were also dead silent.

Many people still couldn't believe that what they saw was real.

"Taoist Xuancheng... actually lost?"

In the arena.

Taoist Xuancheng covered his chest and struggled to get up.

Before he stood up, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

His body was shaky again.

Opposite.

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

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

The weak Taoist Xuancheng knelt directly on the ground.

However.

He did not give in. He used up his last bit of strength and reached out to the long sword beside him.

"Ha!"

Zhu Yan looked down at Taoist Xuancheng from a high position and snorted disdainfully.

He kicked the long sword away.

Then, he raised his foot and stepped on his head until he was completely prostrated on the ground.

He turned around and faced the people watching on the east bank, raised his head slightly, and put on a show of strength.

Silence.

Deathly silence.

Facing such an insult.

Countless people's faces turned red, their chests felt stuffy, and they wished they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

But.

At this moment, they could only watch from a distance, without any way.

"No wonder the demon clan delegation spared no effort to promote this competition. It turned out that they wanted to use this competition to dampen the spirit of the people of our Great Zhou.

These demon beasts...they are worthy of death!"

Little Jing'an Hou's eyes were red, and he squeezed out this sentence from his teeth.

Everyone was silent.

Compared to the provocation of the demon clan.

What they care more about is the next competition.

A fourth-grade.

None of them is sure to defeat the other, including Ren Pingsheng.

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

Little Jing'an Hou's voice sounded again: "Next game, I'll do it!"

The voice fell.

Everyone looked at him, thought for a while, nodded, and agreed with his idea.

At the same time.

In the arena.

The victorious Zhu Yan did not kill Taoist Xuancheng, but began to torture him.

First, he broke his legs, and then broke his feet.

The cruelty of the means made countless people turn their faces away, unable to bear it, and dared not to watch again.

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

Grab his hair and throw him out like trash.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the tortured Taoist Xuancheng who was no longer human.

Even Ren Pingsheng, who had no relationship with him, couldn't help blushing.

He had the urge to rush in and give him a taste of his own medicine.

By his side.

Little Jing'an Hou Shi Ze could no longer control his anger and rushed directly into the arena.

Facing the brutal Zhu Yan.

He was not afraid at all and said sternly: "You bastard! How you tortured Taoist Xuancheng just now, I will torture you even more severely later!"

Zhu Yan stood there, 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, demon Zhu Yan vs. Great Zhou Shi Ze!"
