The two fought hard. Changsun Yue's sword skills were fierce and fierce, and the stalker's footwork was nimble. People were coming and going, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while. The two fought for a few minutes. Changsun Yue's sword skills became more fierce. His footwork changed and he took strange steps, blocking his opponent everywhere. When the opponent saw this, he stopped wandering and opened and closed his fists.
After a moment, the two fists met, and Zhang Sunyue was knocked back several steps. The pursuer gained the upper hand and pressed forward step by step. Seeing Chang Sun Yue retreating and the pursuers attacking with all their strength, Chu Xiang knew that the victory was decided, so he stopped watching the fight between the two and turned to look at the distant mountains.
After a few more blows, Changsun Yue was forced to have no choice. The two punched each other again, and Changsun Yue took a few steps back. When the two punched each other for the third time, the pursuer let out a painful groan and broke all his phalanges. The shoulder blade was shattered, and then Chang Sun Yue pressed hard to kill him. The stalker resisted two attacks with difficulty, and his neck was broken by Chang Sun Yue's knife.
The body of a great witch is more powerful than the body of a demon, with muscles and bones as strong as iron, and blood as strong as floods. He gave in twice in a row. The opponent thought he had a chance to win, but he didn't expect that a woman named Changsun Yue had such a powerful body and would never complain to others.
"It's okay." Chu Xiang came out of the woods, glanced at the deceased, and continued to go into the mountains.
Changsun Yue glanced around, grabbed the dead man's feet, threw him to the hillside, and then followed Chu Xiang.
Arriving in a secluded and uninhabited place, Changsun Yue used the witch bloodline to awaken the unique power of praying to heaven to communicate with the heaven and earth. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered above his head, and the surrounding vegetation bowed.
"As you wish." After making the vow, the gathering dark clouds dispersed, and Changsun Yue looked at Chu Xiangdao.
"With this oath, aren't you afraid that I will use you and become my puppet in the future?" Chu Xiang looked up at Changsun Yue and said.
"I can take responsibility for my decision." Changsun Yue said solemnly.
"Very good. If you have the consciousness of death, things will be easier to handle." Chu Xiang said, looking a little strange.
"Let the news go. I will give a martial arts lecture at Banyue Pavilion at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Anyone can come and listen to the lecture." Chu Xiang said.
After being startled for a moment, Changsun Yue's expression changed again and he said, "You are more ambitious than I thought."
Chu Xiang did not refute. He was not ambitious, but wanted to build momentum and challenge the Mountain Guest Alliance. He didn't know how much trouble there would be in the future. As long as the momentum was established, the Mountain Guest Alliance would no longer dare to move against his people. At that time, anyone who wanted to take action had to weigh the pros and cons. Changsun Yue obviously didn't understand.
Chu Xiangdao: "From now on, you will be the general manager of the martial arts hall, and you will be responsible for everything. Remember, you are a voluntary organization, not my subordinates, and you cannot use my name. I will only take action when necessary."
Changsun Yue's eyes lit up. She understood what Chu Xiang meant. From now on, she would be the king of Jiangwu Hall, and Chu Xiang would be the regent. She would be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
"You are a smart man. I don't need to tell you what to do. Just do what you should do." Chu Xiang said.
"Yes." Changsun Yue said, and the way he explained to Chu Xiang changed.
Changsun Yue's strength is not bad. With Yijin level strength and the awakening of the great witch body, ordinary Yijin masters are no match for her.
Changing his appearance, he followed Chang Sun Yue secretly. Chang Sun Yue returned to a dilapidated small building in the north of the city and never came out again. The lowest-class women live around the small building. There are sounds of the most primitive human movements in many houses, and men in many houses are abusing women.
Ninety percent of people after the great change have psychological problems, and Chu Xiang is no exception. Many men vent these problems on women, and women can only suffer in silence. This is the sorrow of the weak. Not only do they have to bear their own pain, but they also have to bear the pain imposed on them by others.
Ninety percent of the women in Wucheng live in this area, and they are all engaged in the same industry. This is the current situation of weak women in this world, and it is also the only way to survive. There are not many women like Chang Sun Yue, like Leng Ruyue is even less lucky.
Sighing, Chu Xiang left quietly. There are some things that he can't change. He is not an almighty god. Human power has its limits. It is difficult for one person's power to fight against a trend.
However, some people and some things will still do it even though they know it is difficult.
Since the beginning of the martial arts tournament, an unknown master has collected all the information about the masters of the martial arts tournament, printed and published it as the Martial Arts Tournament Masters Directory, and everyone in the streets has a copy, which is very popular. Everyone is discussing the masters who may win the championship, and who are they studying? It’s easy to place bets on who can qualify and who can win the final victory.
Before the game starts, one of the most popular things in Wucheng is betting. Countless bookmakers, large and small, are opening the market. There are handicaps for each game from the qualifying candidates to the final champion. There are short-term bets. Yes, there are also people who buy the final winner, and some people have developed some combination betting methods that are said to guarantee no loss. There are various and intricate methods.
Chu Xiang bought a master's directory. The original version of this thing was very expensive. Chu Xiang bought a pirated copy. Even if it was a pirated copy, it cost Chu Xiang fifty contribution points. Compared with the prices in Wucheng, it was already sky-high. , enough for an ordinary person to live on for ten or eight days. He only had 500 contribution points when he was a referee for one day. This was still risking his life, but he could earn 500 contribution points by selling ten pirated lists.
The author of this master list is very professional. The information of more than 3,000 advanced masters is complete. Not only the names and photos, but also the sects and origins. Some of them even have their unique skills and tricks noted, and they are classified according to the combat power level of the military government. The division indicates the approximate combat effectiveness level of each person, and the names and contact information of all referees are also included at the end.
Chu Xiang knew at a glance that this directory must have been created by the military government. There were more than 3,000 people who were promoted, divided into 100 arenas. The information could be sorted out in just half a day, and it was so clear. Accurately, no one can do it except the military government.
Chu Xiang was a little confused about the purpose of the military government's doing this, whether it was to make money or to increase the unpredictability of the game, or both, or neither, but some ulterior plan.
Gongsun Qi's combat power level is classified as level 12, but the one with the highest combat power on the list is not level 12, but level 13, and there is more than one person, as many as four. Chu Xiang's eyes lit up and he wrote down the names of the four people. He wanted to know to what extent these four people had reached, whether it was him or they were on a completely different path.
Leng Ruyue's combat power level is level eight, one of the lowest among the more than 3,000 people who have been promoted. The three Wang Ming brothers have all been promoted, and their combat power levels are all level ten, which is the level with the largest number of people promoted.
On the way back to Nanhua Villa, Chu Xiang heard many people talking about his martial arts lecture at Banyueting. He did not expect Changsun Yue to move so quickly, which surprised Chu Xiang.
After returning to Nanhua Villa, Chu Xiang immediately went to see the young monk. After all, he occupied his place all day without seeing him. He was really embarrassed. Moreover, it had brought crisis to Nanhua Villa and needed to be negotiated. The young monk is a man of great wisdom. Although he is a bit clingy, he sees many things more accurately and more clearly than Chu Xiang. How can he be an ordinary person who became the abbot of a temple at the age of thirteen and made Nanhua Villa stand still and become more powerful during two years of chaos?
The conversation between the two ended with the young monk's words. The young monk said: "Go to sleep, and things will be different when you wake up tomorrow."
Chu Xiang nodded and stopped thinking about those messy things. The young monk was not afraid of getting into trouble, so what was he worried about.
After waking up, when the three of them were having breakfast, Chu Xiang and Shi Wuzheng told him to teach Leng Ruyue. Shi Wuzheng didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.
After Shi Wuzheng looked at the list of masters, he pointed out the names of the remaining four thirteenth-level masters to Gongsun Qi.
"Liu Boyong, Tianshan swordsman, a young genius, became famous at the age of fifteen, and did not leave the world for the next seventeen years. I didn't expect that he had reached this level." Shi Wuzheng pointed at one of the thirteenth-level masters.
"Sun Ying is a master of Xingyiquan. He became famous at the age of twenty-five. He has had no defeat for seven years and is known as Nine Thousand Victories. It is said that he is a descendant of Sun Lutang."
"Chen Qingtang, a descendant of Tai Chi and a master of Bagua. He became famous in one battle at the age of thirty-six. He has no record of fighting against anyone since then. He is forty-two years old this year."
"Lu Feng, his apprenticeship is unknown, and his nickname follows him everywhere. I heard that he practices boy skills. He is very smart. He can know the skills of various sects at a glance, and he is very proficient in them. He has three teachings and nine streams. No matter what kind of skills, there are almost no skills that he can't do. People know the depth of his strength.”
Shi Wuzheng was filled with treasures and told the origins of the four thirteenth-level masters one by one. Many of them were information that was not in the directory.
"It is very likely that Liu Boyong and Chen Qingtang have broken through this level and are good opponents for you to prove." Shi Wuzheng said to Gongsun Qida.
"I also want to meet them." Chu Xiang said.
"What you said makes me want to go on stage to prove it and see if I can break through." Shi Wuzheng said.
"The Elite Challenge in March is your chance." Chu Xiang said. He also wanted Shi Wuzheng and Gongsun Qi to break through, so that they could better prove each other.
"Maybe it won't be until March." Shi Wuzheng said hopefully.
"Of course it's better." Chu Xiang said, Shi Wuzheng is the type who has accumulated a lot of experience, and the Wudang Kung Fu is steady and steady. He has stayed at this level for more than a year without making any progress. In the past two days, there are so many masters as referees who can observe and confirm breakthroughs. The possibility is very high.
After leaving the gate of Nanhua Villa and walking with Shi Wuzheng, Chu Xiang felt the fiery gazes of the women around him. Chu Xiang had to sigh that the world of women was really terrifying. Fortunately, he had this vicious guy like Gongsun Qi with him, otherwise those women would definitely If you want to pounce on him, those women must be jealous of Leng Ruyue for being able to see Shi Wuzheng every day.
In addition to staring at Shi Wuzheng's woman, many people on the road were pointing and talking about Chu Xiang, all talking about Chu Xiang's upcoming martial arts lecture at Ban Yue Pavilion.
Hearing the comments from others, Gongsun Qi looked at Chu Xiang and frowned: "Old Chu, why don't you discuss such a big matter with us?"
"Just because it's a big deal, I don't know what the consequences will be, so I don't dare to drag you into the water." Chu Xiang shook his head.
"Publicly lecture on martial arts. Since the end of the Republic of China, the only one who dares to do so is Xue Dian. The dangers involved are unpredictable. Old Chu, you have to be mentally prepared." Shi Wuzheng said cautiously.
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Chu Xiang said.
"This is a big event, but it has already been decided. The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. It is useless to discuss it now. We must be prepared to deal with it as soon as possible. When will it start?" Gongsun Qi said solemnly.
"Four o'clock in the afternoon." Chu Xiang said.
"Then we'll come back when the arena is over and be ready to deal with it." Gongsun Qidao.
Shi Wuzheng nodded.
Chu Xiang didn't understand why Gongsun Qi and Shi Wuzheng were so nervous. Is there any taboo on teaching martial arts?
The four of them arrived at the ring area. More than 3,000 people stayed in the competition area, which was fifty ring widths. The scene looked much sparse, but there were more people outside the competition area than before. It was so densely packed that there were probably not many people. One hundred thousand viewers.
Hundreds of thousands of people crowded together, talking to each other, and the whole stadium was buzzing with noise, like thousands of mosquitoes in the ears, which was unbearable.
There are two referees in each arena, three drones, six porters, three doctors, and one recordkeeper. There are 600 on-site staff alone, not including other logistics service personnel.
Before the game started, almost all the contestants had arrived. Although there were more than twenty games in each arena, and those at the back had to wait for several hours before they started, no one was willing to miss the opportunity to watch others compete. This was It is a good opportunity to prove your own skills, and it is also a good opportunity to study others. Peerless martial arts cannot be practiced by one person behind closed doors. At this level, if you want to go to the next level, observation, learning and exchange are indispensable.
The competition started on time, and the first match in Arena No. 17 was a duel between three marrow refining masters.
Three to one, this is a very cruel rule, and it is also an elimination method with unpredictable results. Unless the strongest can fight one against two, it is difficult to say who will qualify.
The two weak ones may join forces to defeat the strongest one, and then have a life-or-death showdown. It may also be that the stronger two people eliminate the weaker one, and then there is a life-and-death showdown. It may also be a melee between three people, and they are all eliminated in the end. It could be anything. It may happen, and no one can predict how the war situation will develop.
Three marrow refining masters came on stage and stood on one side. No one made a move. The three of them all knew that everyone was at the same level. Whoever made the move first would be most likely to be eliminated. The one who made the move last would definitely have the advantage.
The three of them looked at each other, and for a moment, one of them said, "How about we use our inner strength to compete with each other?"
"How do you spell it?" another person asked.
"Let's take action together," the proposer said.
"Okay." The other two nodded.
This is the fairest way. The battle is entirely based on personal cultivation, and there is no trickery. The three of them approached, lowered their waists and sat on their horses, slowly stretched out their hands, and there was a soft sound. The six palms touched each other. Each of them attacked the other two at the same time, and also withstood the impact of the other two's internal energy at the same time.
I didn't expect that the three of them would compete in this most dangerous way. A master at the level of marrow refining, his strength is enough to break open monuments and rocks, and kill people invisible. If he is not careful, he will die. Thinking of the organizer's requirements, In order to reduce the casualties of the competition as much as possible, Chu Xiang and Shi Wuzheng looked at each other, with the same worry in their eyes, and walked onto the ring together.
It was the most dangerous competition from the beginning. Everyone was focused on waiting to go on stage and did not dare to be distracted. For them who were about to go on stage, the result on the stage now was probably their result.
The arena was trembling, and waves of strength were spreading around like waves. The force was surging, and a huge force was pressing down on the six feet. The feet of the three people slowly sank, embedded in the hard arena. For a moment, two of them were Blood overflowed from the corner of the person's mouth, and then blood overflowed from the corner of the other person's mouth. Suddenly, with a click, several gaps opened in the ice and snow arena.
The power of the wave was getting stronger and stronger, and the winner was about to be decided. More and more blood spilled from the corners of the mouths of the three people, and even their noses and ears were spilled with blood. Many other players in the arena looked over, and the surroundings were silent, watching this. The most dangerous competition.
"The situation is not good." Shi Wuzheng said solemnly, with a serious look on his face.
The three of them are now on the verge of perish. There is no winner in this competition and they must be separated. However, the three of them competed with each other in terms of internal energy, and their energies were entangled with each other. They had to use the same force to separate the three people at the same time, and they had to withstand the backlash of their energies, which was very risky.
At the three intersections, if he wants to separate them with the same strength, he can only do it alone. Shi Wuzheng knows that he can't do it. He is also at the level of marrow refining. If he separates the three of them by force, he will definitely be injured if he withstands the strength of the three. Can save three people.
Everyone in the audience was moved when they saw this situation. More and more masters from the surrounding arena looked over, nervously paying attention to the outcome of this competition. At stake is the life of three marrow masters. This is probably the most tense match since the beginning of the martial arts conference. And this is just the first match of this round. You can imagine how intense the battle will be. .
