Throughout the past half month in Guanyuncheng, except for the initial incident with An Murong and the trouble with Mr. An, Hua Ruxue has been staying at the Li family's house to remove the poison from Li Changzhi.
Young Master Li Chu hopes that she will stay by Li Zangzhi's side until Li Zangzhi fully recovers, so he has lived a very stable life in the Li family these past few days.
She knew that Mr. An would not give up, but she didn't expect that they could hold back so quickly and planned to take action at the sword trial competition.
There are a total of five hundred tokens with the word "sword". The city lord's lineage accounts for one hundred, and the An family, Gu family, Li family, Tian family, and Yu family each account for eighty. I don't know how many of the eighty people the An family sent in. It's for her.
After thinking about this clearly, Hua Ruxue gathered her energy and prepared to meet Brother Kuiqi who was holding the Candle Dragon Sword in front of her.
Thirteen days ago, Kuiqi and his team received a mission: to assassinate An Murong and reward him with 300,000 spiritual stones.
At first, they just watched in secret and did not intend to take action, because once the action was successful, no matter whether it was successful or not, they would not be able to escape death after the family leader came out of seclusion.
There were two other teams involved in the assassination. The leaders of those two teams had reached the late Nascent Soul stage and their strength should not be underestimated. However, in the end, the assassinations failed. None of the two teams survived, but An Murong returned to Guanyun City from Never Returning Forest unscathed.
Immediately afterwards, An Murong entered the Li family's sphere of influence carelessly, and even if they wanted to take action, they couldn't.
They thought that Mr. An would stop here, but seven days ago they received a new mission: to assassinate the Xiang brothers and sisters and reward them with 500,000 spiritual stones.
They might have hesitated when assassinating An Murong, but they could not remain indifferent in the face of the high price of the assassination of the Xiang brothers and sisters who had just entered Guanyun City and had not yet joined any force.
From the corner of his eye, Kuiqi glanced at the other nine people waiting in the audience. One of them said angrily: "Next time, we can't draw lots to determine the order. I have to come first! I got the advantage of that kid Kuiqi in vain!"
"There are people from the Li family outside who are protecting us so we can't do anything. Who knew this girl wanted to die?"
"Seeing as she sold the token, I thought the person who came was Xiang Junyi. I have sharpened my sword, but I thought it was a little girl! This time, we don't need to take action at all."
"Since Kuiqi is here in this arena, why don't we go to other arenas to have a look? We're already here, so why should we be among the top eight!"
While talking, several people laughed and raised their swords to leave. In their eyes, Hua Ruxue had become a dead person.
Kuiqi whispered: "I'm offended."
Immediately, the Zhulong Sword came out, and the red sword energy came through the air. Facing this flawless sword move, Hua Ruxue's high interest suddenly disappeared, and the person in front of her even used only 30% of her strength.
I thought that her title of Grand Master had been spread out, and even if others didn't know it, the people who were planning to kill her must know it. The assassins must be extremely skilled in swordsmanship, experienced in many battles, and would go all out no matter what happened, but they didn't expect it. Treat her as a child who doesn't understand anything.
Hua Ruxue took the sword with her left hand, and clamped the blade of the sword with her white and tender fingers. The sword stopped and could not advance any further.
She pulled slightly hard with her fingertips, and the long sword tilted towards her shoulder. Kuiqi threw himself at Hua Ruxue uncontrollably. The long sword fell out of his hand. He subconsciously wanted to resist, but the strong wind from his palm had already reached him. forward.
The next moment, Kuiqi's vision went dark and he fell outside the ring.
"Crack!" The sound of the ribs being broken was very clear.
The onlookers in the audience silently looked at Kuiqi who fell to the ground, replaying the scene of him suddenly falling from the stage over and over again in their minds, and only after a while did they remember to step forward to help him.
The other nine people in Kuiqi's team stopped when they heard the sound.
The bald man was the first to recover from the shock, stepped forward menacingly, and said angrily: "You dare to hurt my sixth brother! You are seeking death!"
As the bald man jumped up, everyone's eyes returned to the No. 42 arena, "What happened just now? I didn't pay attention here. Why did Kuiqi suddenly fly down?"
"Brother, your wording is too polite. Just say he was beaten down."
"What just happened was so fast. I thought the little girl gave up her resistance and was going to die. I didn't expect it.
At the critical moment, she not only neutralized the attack easily, but also injured Kuiqi with one move! What is the origin of this person named Xiang Junxue? "
"I don't know. This is the first time I've seen him. Kuiqi was careless this time and only used 30% of his strength. Let's continue to watch."
Accompanied by the chatter of several people, Hua Ruxue turned sideways and quickly kicked the bald head off the ring.
The person who just spoke suddenly fell silent, and after a long time he said, "I looked back at the sword cultivator in Arena 33, why is Arena 42 over again!"
"One move! Another move! This girl's movements are so neat!"
"There is absolutely no chance in the 33rd arena. Do we still have a chance in the 42nd arena?"
"Fellow Taoist, don't panic. Although this person is trying his best, his speed is too slow. He has no strength and is not worth seeing."
"You are just good at talking, and your body is as big as a mountain. You are still in the early stage of Nascent Soul after all. You can try to kick someone down! Hey! Look, someone is challenging the No. 42 ring again."
While talking, another person fell from the No. 42 ring.
Hua Ruxue glanced coldly in the direction of Kuiqi. There were ten people in the group, three of them were lying down, and there were seven people left. The killing intent on the remaining seven people was even worse, and they almost gave up hiding.
Facing those who want to kill her, although she won't fight back, she won't make it easy for them either. This will hurt them enough to keep them quiet for a while. If there is a next time, you must be prepared to never be able to practice again.
Bai Yi, who was guarding the dark place, couldn't help being frightened and asked his master: "Another move! Is she a body-refining monk?"
"Do you think she can get out of the Forest of No Return safely just by relying on so-called "medical skills"? Or is it just Master An and his guards who were unaware of the poisoning? "
The young student rubbed his hands secretly in excitement. He was so excited that he wanted to jump down and have a fight!
"Ah? Could it be that Young Master Li Chu secretly sent someone to protect them so they could get out of the Forest of No Return safely? After all, Second Master An has sent out-of-body guards."
Bai Yi was puzzled. With An Xiaoer's skill and Nascent Soul stage's cultivation, there was only one chance of death for Guard Qiao who was in the out-of-body stage. Without the help of other forces, how could they leave the Forest of No Return alive?
Xiaosheng stared at the sky speechlessly. I really don't know what Bai Yi saw after following the Xiang brothers and sisters for so long. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. As a guard, he was good at everything but had a brain problem. Z.br>
"The Li family has always been cautious. They will not lend a helping hand until it is confirmed that Sister Xiaoxue has the ability to heal Young Master Li San. What's more, with the family feud between the Li family and the An family, Li Chu wishes An Murong would never come back."
"So it's not the Li family who helped them in the Forest of No Return, who is that? Is there someone besides us who wants to win over the Xiang brothers and sisters? This is not possible, we have to go and work it out in private!"
Xiaosheng: "..."
"Can't there be no one to help?"
Bai Yi slapped his forehead one by one and suddenly realized, "Master asked me to observe them for a long time. We didn't help when they went to the Forest of No Return, so it's even less possible for others to help!"
Then he turned to look at Kuiqi and others, and accused him unhappily: "Then what do these people think? They accepted the task of assassinating Miss Xiang, but they didn't even know that she was a body-refining monk. If I had such a subordinate , I will definitely be pissed to death!"
Xiaosheng turned to face Bai Yi with a proud and proud expression on his face, as if to say: Master, look! I'm still awesome! I'm the smartest!
Xiaosheng suddenly felt like "I am the wronged one."
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely trick the Xiang brothers and sisters into our city lord's mansion!"
Xiaosheng: "..."
Hua Ruxue suddenly felt a chill. She looked back at the direction where Xiaosheng and Bai Yi were, and saw no one above the tower in the inner city.
Below the No. 42 arena, a monk had just recovered from the shock of the young girl defeating the early Yuanying monk with one move, and asked cautiously: "Could it be that Xiang Junxue is a body-refining monk?"
"In today's era of abundant spiritual energy, body refining is dozens of times more difficult than legal cultivation. Only monks with mixed spiritual roots will choose body refining. How did Xiang Junxue become a body refining monk at such a young age?"
"She has both ice and fire spiritual roots!
There is a brother who has middle-grade ice spirit roots. Because ice spirit roots are scarce, he produced two at a time that day, which attracted a lot of people's attention. "
"It turns out that they have twin spiritual roots of ice and fire. The attributes of the spiritual roots are incompatible. It is not surprising that they would choose body refining."
"The magic cultivators on the arena cannot use their spiritual power, so they are naturally inferior to the body-refining cultivators. On the arenas No. 3, 16, 29, and 57, the ones guarding the arena are all body-refining cultivators. The monks, two minor masters and two masters have already brought down four pure practitioners! There is nothing surprising."
Body refining is divided into: Tongmai, Bone forging, Fu organ refining, Yuanwu, Hunyuan, Dacheng, and Overcoming tribulations. Those in the Fu-Refining stage are called Little Grandmasters, those in the Yuanwu Stage are called Grandmasters, and those above Hunyuan are called Great Grandmasters.
"In normal times, how could the body-refining cultivators be so arrogant? They were just suppressed by virtue of their Dharma cultivation, and they were still the ones from the No. 1, No. 9, No. 17, No. 33, and No. 64 arenas. The sword cultivator is the strongest! The one who can get the Phoenix Spirit Pill in the end must be the sword cultivator!"
After discussing the situation, several people realized that it was still early, and they were all ready to wait and see again in Arena No. 42.
They have not taken action for a long time, just because they want to use the help of others to find out the situation of each defender, pick a weak persimmon, and finally occupy the arena to pass the preliminary test.
I originally thought that Xiang Junxue was that soft persimmon, but I didn’t expect that she was a body-refining cultivator. Body-refining cultivators cultivate skin, flesh, muscles, and bones, and their physical strength is unparalleled. Those of them, who are pure magic cultivators and semi-skilled sword cultivators who have been suppressed, used to do scraping. .
"She is still young, and at most she is in the realm of bone-forging. Brother Wang, your swordsmanship is superb. Why don't you give it a try?"
"No, no, I've become a monk halfway and can't be considered a swordsman. I'm not as good as Brother Li in terms of swordsmanship, so Brother Li should go for it!"
The person named stood silently and did not move. After watching a stick of incense, no one came to the No. 42 ring to challenge. Those people's compliments were useless. Hua Ruxue continued to meditate in the center of the ring.
After the first three challenges, Kuiqi and his party felt wary, and quickly changed their strategy, planning to let others consume her physical strength first, and finally Kuifang, who was also a body-refining monk, killed her.
Once the strategy was formulated, the remaining seven of the ten people took action quickly. Soon, there was only one person left among the seven, and he was also the person Hua Ruxue cared about the most.
