He Sheng said again, which made Zhao Yuanhai laugh again, and then nodded, "The stands have been set up. Son-in-law, please take your seat."
"yes."
He Sheng nodded and sat down on the empty stand. After he sat down, everyone in the Jujian Villa who followed him sat down one after another.
"Ahem."
At this moment, Zhao Yuanhai cleared his throat, glanced at the people in the city and said with a smile, "Today is a day of great joy for my Zhao family! My daughter Zhao Qing is about to marry into Jujian Villa. If you are willing to come and participate in the martial arts competition this time, It is truly an honor for my Zhao family to congratulate me. On behalf of the entire Zhao family, I would like to thank you all in advance."
As he said that, Zhao Yuanhai clasped his fists and arched his arms around him. The other three clan heads nodded lightly, indicating that they understood.
"Haha, okay, then it's time for the martial arts competition to officially begin. Please invite all the young geniuses to come on stage."
With another smile, Zhao Yuanhai returned to his seat and sat down, while the ten geniuses selected by other families left the stands and stood in the ring.
Zhao Zhen and others stood still. They, the casual cultivators, did not have seats in the stands, so they naturally stood on the ring from the beginning.
At the same time, ten young geniuses also came from Jujian Villa and simply stood in the middle of the ring.
After everyone stood up, Zhao Shan, the owner of the second room of the Zhao family, also stood up and looked towards the ring.
"This time our Zhao family is holding a martial arts tournament. Firstly, it is to celebrate the wedding of Zhao Qing, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. Everyone is lively and lively. Secondly, it is also to test the strength of the young geniuses in our city to determine the future of our Cangzhou City. Decades of development, so please let go and play to your heart's content. During the battle, the battle will not end unless one party admits defeat or dies."
As soon as Zhao Shan uttered his words, the faces of the people below changed. They would die if they did not admit defeat. This was almost the same as a life and death battle!
After all, the participants are all young people, they are young and energetic, and they are from low backgrounds. If you ask them to admit defeat, what is the difference between killing them?
"It seems that the Zhao family is really confident this time and wants to get the maximum benefit from this martial arts competition."
Many people's eyes flickered. They knew that if the Zhao family dared to set this rule, they must have come prepared, and this preparation should be the group of young people at Jujian Villa.
The Zhao family wants to use this group of people from Jujian Villa to completely establish their authority!
"Haha, Patriarch Liu, Patriarch Hu, Patriarch Zhang, do you have any objections to this rule?"
At this time, Zhao Yuanhai asked with a smile, which made the faces of the three family heads darken.
Although they had long known the Zhao family's purpose of holding this martial arts competition, they never imagined that the Zhao family would do such a wonderful job.
This is obviously to completely suppress the three of them!
You've just come, do you want to quit?
If you withdraw, it will be even more embarrassing. Not only will your prestige be lost, but the family's interests will also be damaged. When the merchants in the city see how powerful the Zhao family is, they will definitely hand over all transaction taxes to the Zhao family.
Of course, the head of the Liu family said coldly, "This martial arts competition is organized by the Zhao family. We are just here to participate. Naturally, we will abide by your rules."
"My Zhang family will also abide by the rules."
"The same goes for the Liu family."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanhai smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you three."
With that said, Zhao Yuanhai looked at Zhao Shan again and winked.
Zhao Shan immediately said, "Okay, since there are no objections, the next step is the ranking rules, and these rules are also very simple. The winners will advance to the next round, and the losers will be eliminated. As for the order of the battle, it will be determined by drawing lots. There are sixty people in total, so there will be sixty tokens with numbers engraved on them. Anyone who gets adjacent number tokens will start the battle directly."
As he spoke, Zhao Shan made a move with his palm, and immediately several Zhao family guards came up carrying a huge wooden box.
"Geniuses, you can draw lots."
Hearing this, the young people on the stage took action, and Zhao Zhen also stepped forward and took a token at will.
Looking through it, Zhao Zhen found that his number was fifty-six, and at the same time, other young people also knew their numbers.
Zhao Shan said again, "You all know your numbers, right? The next step is very simple. The fifty to sixty people will stay. The first forty people please get off the ring first."
Immediately, the forty young people left one after another, leaving only ten people in the ring.
"Next, the ten of you will fight based on the adjacent numbers. Numbers 60 and 59 are in area 1 of the arena, and numbers 58 and 57 are in area 2 of the arena..."
Zhao Shan spoke again and began to divide the area of the arena. Immediately, ten young people started to move. Soon, there were two young people standing in each of the four corners and the center of the arena.
"Okay, you can start on your own."
Seeing everyone standing, Zhao Shan said something again, and the ten people on the stage also looked at each other immediately.
"Tsk... Hu Guang from the Hu family is a bit miserable. He met Liu Jing from the Liu family when he came up. He is doomed."
"Zhao Ge from the Zhao family is very lucky. He met Zhang He from the Zhang family. Although Zhang He has practiced hard, he is not very talented. He is only at the seventh level of the warrior realm at the age of nineteen, but Zhao Ge is already at the eighth level of the warrior realm at the age of eighteen. Zhao Ge is bound to win."
"Hu Feng from the Hu family is pretty good. He only met a casual cultivator, but Zhang Lin from the Zhang family is a bit miserable. He met someone from Jujian Villa, so he will probably lose."
Discussions started, but the people below began to make inferences based on the information they knew. Some people even started betting, and almost everyone placed bets.
As for Feng Xiao, he was naturally noticed by the people, but Feng Xiao was too unfamiliar. Although Feng Xiao had become famous after killing Zhang Shu two days ago, Feng Xiao was now facing Zhang Ao from the Zhang family, and Zhang Ao is also a top genius. He has reached the ninth level of the warrior realm. He can be said to be second only to Zhang Qian of the Zhang family. Naturally, no one thinks that Feng Xiao will win.
The battle started quickly, and most of the results were correct. Hu Guang only had one palm fight with Liu Jing before he surrendered, and no one laughed at him. After all, Liu Jing was the number one genius in Cangzhou City. Hu Guang surrendered. Very normal.
Although the battle between the other two sides is going on, the result is similar to what everyone expected. Brother Zhao has completely gained the upper hand, and the same is true for Hu Feng.
The only ones who haven't started fighting yet are Feng Xiao and Zhang Ao, and Zhang Ao doesn't see Feng Xiao at all at this moment. He is just paying attention to other battles. In his eyes, the winners are the ones he needs to be wary of.
Feng Xiao was not in a hurry to take action. He also looked at the other battles. After all, he was here to cause trouble. Naturally, he also wanted to understand the strength of these winners so that he could deal with them later.
After a while, the battle ended. Liu Jing, Zhao Ge, and Hu Feng had all won, and the young man from Jujian Villa also won.
"Liu Jing, I don't have to think about it. Just give up as soon as I meet him. The same goes for this guy from Jujian Villa. Although he is only at the eighth level of the warrior realm, he is obviously extremely powerful and has practiced advanced martial arts. I When you meet him, admitting defeat is the best option, nothing else matters, I am sure of victory."
Zhang Ao thought secretly. At this moment, he was already thinking about the next round, and Zhao Zhen was not in his consideration range at all.
"Zhang Ao, hurry up." Zhang Ao's family advocate Tianhai said at this time, which made Zhang Ao stunned for a moment, but he nodded the next moment, "Yes, father."
Looking at Zhao Zhen, Zhang Ao said coldly, "You still won't admit defeat?"
Zhao Zhen ignored them. He was just calculating the strength of the victors just now, and concluded that none of them posed a threat to him.
However, he is not complacent, because he knows that Jujian Villa has brought many young masters this time, and there must be real threats. Therefore, he knows that the people he needs to guard against in the future are the people from Jujian Villa.
"Damn it! You're deaf!"
At this time, seeing Feng Xiao ignoring him, Zhang Ao also cursed, showing a little annoyance in his expression.
If it were normal, if a casual cultivator like Feng Xiao dared to ignore him, he would have killed him long ago, but it was not easy to do now.
After all, these casual cultivators are fighting on behalf of the common people. If they are killed easily, it will only make the people disgusted. Therefore, the four major families have already passed the Qi in advance. When they encounter the genius of the casual cultivators, they will not kill them if they can.
At this time, Zhao Zhen also came to his senses and said calmly, "You can take action."
As soon as these four words came out, everyone was stunned, and some people even started to shake their heads. Isn't this looking for death?
Li Ye and other civilian geniuses had expressionless faces. They knew that Zhao Zhen was powerful. Killing Zhang Shu with one sword was nothing. The most important thing was that Huang Ye was crippled with one finger afterwards.
Huang Ye and Zhang Shu were at the same level, but Zhao Zhen could destroy Huang Ye with just one finger. Naturally, they knew that Zhao Zhen was already at the martial spirit level, and at this level, how could they be afraid of Zhang Ao?
Zhang Ao's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Zhao Zhen would dare to ask him to take action directly. This was already provoking the Zhang family.
"Since the other party doesn't know how to advance or retreat, then take action!"
Tianhai, the advocate of the Zhang family, also frowned and said coldly, which made many people shake their heads secretly. They knew that Zhao Zhen was dead.
"yes!"
Zhang Ao suddenly showed a ferocious look. He knew that the head of the family was already asking him to kill people. Naturally, his body shook and he suddenly came to Zhao Zhen!
"Die!"
After shouting loudly, Zhang Ao pulled out a long knife from his waist and slashed at Zhao Zhen's head!
laugh! Tsk!
A shrill sound broke through the air, and an astonishing white light erupted as soon as Zhang Ao's sword was struck. Countless ripples appeared in the air at this moment, as if the water was about to be split into two!
But in the face of this blow, Zhao Zhen did not move. However, just when Zhang Ao was about to strike, the long sword at his waist suddenly came out of its sheath.
puff!
There was no flash of sword light, no release of sword energy.
Everyone saw that Zhao Zhen just moved his palm and a long sword was inserted directly into Zhang Ao's chest!
