The two women welcomed Ning Fan into the gate. As soon as they entered, they saw two neat rows of dozens of people, old and several, kneeling in two rows, saying, "Thank you, sir, for saving me, Holy Lady Chu Lie." "There is no way I can repay this great kindness." Words like that.
These people are also in shackles.
Ning Fan looked calm, but felt a little embarrassed inside. He was not a true benefactor of Chu Lie. On the contrary, he still had the blood debt of Pi Xiong, Chu Lie's disciple, and even captured the Holy Maiden of Chu Lie as a soul-locking slave. He really did not deserve the great gift from these people.
He waved his sleeves again, helped everyone up, and said, "I don't like others to kneel down and worship. Please don't do this in the future."
"I understand, I understand." Everyone, old and young, nodded in agreement.
An older man standing at the front asked, "Master Duolan and Commander Luo are discussing matters in the main hall. They have asked us to entertain Master Ning well and not to neglect it. We have arranged the courtyard for Master Ning and taken care of it. The alchemy room, meditation room, and study room have been completed, and some new items have been purchased. Lord Ning may wish to go and have a look first. If you are not satisfied, I will immediately send someone to purchase new items..."
"Don't bother, I can live in any place." Ning Fan glanced at the shabby clothes of everyone.
This place is called Forty-Seven Prison, and these people are all shackled, so they are probably prisoners. It just so happens that everyone has a trace of close or distant kinship with Dolan in their blood aura...
"Lord Duolan asked the little old man to tell Lord Ning that Lord Ning can do whatever he wants here. As for my Chu Lie lineage, Lord Ning doesn't need to worry about it. He only needs to make every effort to prepare for the second round of seizing the tomb." The old man added. road.
Ning Fan nodded. It seemed that Dolan could solve the trouble here, so he didn't have to worry about it.
It was getting late now, so the old man sent someone to take Ning Fan and Wu Laoba to their residence. The furnishings of the room are not luxurious, but it can be seen that they are very thoughtful, and many furnishings are newly added.
The two girls who had welcomed Ning Fan before him stayed to serve Ning Fan.
The two girls stood by the screen, a little embarrassed. From time to time they glanced at Wu Laoba, who had a bad look on his face, and seemed a little scared. When facing Ning Fan, they were very natural, not afraid of Ning Fan, and even looked at Ning Fan from time to time. Eyes blushing.
This makes Wu Laoba very frustrated. He prides himself on being handsome and charming, but these little girls don't know how to appreciate it. They only like to see Ning Fan's elegant and weak appearance. Hey, the little girls nowadays have terrible taste. Really bad…
"Are you saying bad things about me in your heart again?" Ning Fan took a deep look at Wu Laoba, who suddenly trembled, wondering, could the evil star actually read his mind? Just as he was about to defend himself with a few words, Ning Fan said again,
"I said there will be punishment for what happened during the day, are you mentally prepared?"
"It's... done. Xiaoba is willing to accept all punishments. I just ask the master not to betray Xiaoba and not to let Xiaoba serve others with sex." Wu Laoba actually hasn't forgotten the story of the slave market.
Pfft.
The two women who were serving on the side laughed out loud, earning an angry look from Wu Laoba, who was so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Facing Wu Laoba like this, Ning Fan really felt like he could neither hit nor scold him. He rapped his knuckles on the table, thinking about a way to punish Wu Laoba, but he had no experience in this area. , I really couldn’t think of a good punishment for a moment.
The meaning of punishment is to make Wu Laoba's memory long, but this guy is obviously the kind of person who can fall into a pit ten times and still fall again... In this case, what is the use of punishment?
But if we don’t give him a penalty, this guy might still be beaten to death, so he has to give him a beating...
After a long time, Ning Fan finally made a decision and said to Wu Laoba, "How about I punish you to inquire about the innate soul-repairing elixir?"
I really couldn't think of how to punish this guy, so Ning Fan simply used Wu Laoba's specialties to some effect...
"Just asking for information? This punishment is really too light. The master must be reluctant to punish Xiaoba. As expected, the master's heart is soft, warm, and kind, and..."
"Of course it's not just as simple as asking for information. If there is a magical elixir that can be obtained, depending on the situation, you must get it!"
"This... this is a little difficult. Although innate-level elixirs are not uncommon for us and Wangu, they are not a big deal. If we just ask for information, Xiaoba can still put some effort into it, but if we get it, this will be a big deal." At once…"
Wu Laoba had a bitter look on his face. After Ning Fan saved him, he had actually changed a little in his heart. He had made up his mind that he would no longer resist Ning Fan's requests in the future and would repay Ning Fan's life-saving kindness no matter what. . But because of this incident, Wu Laoba had a shadow on the idiots of the Dabei tribe. He was afraid that the next idiot he encountered would be an extremely powerful quasi-sage. As a result, he was a little timid and did not dare to With his bad luck, he is running rampant in this Dabei clan.
"Don't worry, I'm just letting you use normal means to get it. After all, the innate elixir is still valuable. The worst thing you can do is trade. If you have enough, use what you have to exchange. If not, come to find I, I will think of a way.”
"If it's just a normal transaction, Xiaoba is willing to share the worries for the master!"
"Well, you should go and rest too."
"Yes, Xiaoba will leave immediately and will not disturb the master's good deeds!"
Wu Laoba glanced at Ning Fan and the two women with some ambiguity, smiled, and retreated.
Ning Fan had heard such jokes many times, so he naturally didn't take it seriously, but the two women were a bit thin-skinned and blushed with embarrassment.
They were sent here to serve as ordinary maids, not serving under the bed... How could that ugly old man say that to them? Sure enough, the old man surnamed Wu was not a good person at first glance.
Wu Laoba, who didn't know he had been slandered by the two women, sneezed in the corridor and felt puzzled.
"It's getting late. I wonder if Mr. Ning has the habit of taking a bath. If so, I will boil water for you." After Wu Laoba left, the two women calmed down and asked Ning Fan respectfully.
Take a bath...ahem...
Ning Fan was really embarrassed to say that since he started cultivating, he had often gone decades without taking a shower. After all, once the magic power was blown, his body would be extremely clean. Many of the habits he had as a mortal had long since been abandoned.
You can meditate for months or years at a time. If you still keep the habit of bathing and bathing, you are still not cultivating this path...
However, the Dabei people retained many of the habits of ordinary people. As a result, Ning Fan could only tell himself in his heart, just do as the Romans do.
"Okay, but let's boil the water later. I have something to ask you. Let me tell you first. I don't know what you call them, and what is your relationship with Miss Dolan?"
"My name is Chunjun, and her name is Chengying. We and the other prisoners here are all blood relatives within three generations of the previous Emperor Chu Lie. We can be regarded as the true clansmen of Saint Duolan." The slightly older woman among them replied.
"I see."
Ning Fan nodded, thinking that these people were indeed related to Dolan, and they couldn't be judged as ordinary Chu Lie disciples.
At the same time, Ning Fan was also somewhat interested in the names of the two women. Whether it was Chunjun or Chengying, they seemed to be the names of ancient famous swords. It was quite strange that such a sharp name was given to a woman. For chic.
"You two are named after ancient swords, but it seems that you have never practiced swordsmanship?"
"Your Excellency, you don't know. It was my two uncles who named us - the former Emperor Lie of Chu. It was his old man who became obsessed with swords, not us. We can herd sheep and use various medicines, and practice swordsmanship. But it doesn't work. In my humble country, not everyone needs to practice. My uncle, the former Emperor Lie of Chu, also taught us this way: If you don't have any intention, don't practice Taoism. Therefore, most of the sinners living here have a great level of cultivation. Not high, there is only one strong person above Shekong, led by Luo Shi. But it is precisely because of the low level of cultivation that we can save our lives..."
If you don’t mean it, don’t practice Taoism...
Ning Fan murmured these words and felt that his thoughts were surprisingly similar to those of the previous Emperor Chu Lie. Cultivation is not such a beautiful thing. It is really not as good as living an ordinary life. If there are not too many powerful enemies and he has to improve his cultivation, Ning Fan would really like to focus on the mountains and rivers and live an ordinary life instead of living this kind of bloody life. A rainy and windy life.
I just can’t choose...
"Tell me, what kind of place are these forty-seven cells? Why do you think everyone wears shackles like prisoners?" Ning Fan asked again.
The two girls were suddenly a little surprised, "Don't you know, sir? No wonder, you are a foreign cultivator, so it's not surprising that you don't know. According to my humble rules, if the Immortal Emperor commits a serious crime, he will implicate his fellow clansmen, but only three generations will be implicated, and If we are not directly involved, we will not be executed, but we will keep our lives and serve as slaves to atone for our sins. We were implicated because of the previous Emperor Lie Emperor of Chu, and we are slaves who cannot be sold. We live in the prison of Liuli City and only work for Liuli City. If the sentence is completed, you can break away from your status as a slave and live as an ordinary person in Liuli City. Commander Luo Shi and the minority tribesmen will be the first to complete their sentences, and we still have a few days left, so we still dress like prisoners. In fact, it is already not bad. , it’s the Lingzong lineage that’s causing trouble… ah!”
The woman named Cheng Ying was answering, but suddenly her mouth was covered by Chunjun, and she was given a warning by the other party: Lord Dolan has ordered that this matter cannot be told to Lord Ning Fan!
If you don't tell, won't Ning Fan know?
He, who knew the art of whispering, had seen clearly from the hearts of the two women the troubles encountered by Chu Lie's disciples here, and he frowned slightly.
The Lingzong lineage seems to be the lineage mentioned by the shameless Master Bailu, but it can be used to sell wives for glory...
From the perspective of the two girls, Dolan has handled the matter smoothly so far. That's all. Since Dolan didn't let him ask about it, he didn't ask about it either.
After asking the two girls some more questions, Ning Fan asked them to boil water.
Then the two girls were sent away, and like ordinary people, they took a bath after being apart for decades...
On the second day together, Ning Fan didn't see Dolan's figure. He seemed to have gone out to do something. As for Wu Laoba, he went out to inquire about the innate soul-repairing elixir.
Ning Fan did not wander around Liulic City, but stayed indoors to meditate and continued to sort out the insights he had gained on Baihua Peak. It’s just that the ancient demon destroyed the way, and he gradually gained enlightenment, but the understanding about reincarnation was difficult to gain.
Three days passed by in a flash, and at 3:30 on the fourth day, Ning Fan informed Chunjun and Chengying and went out. At a quarter past noon, the Blood Martial Ranking Battle begins!
As the name suggests, the ranking battle is to determine the ranking of 100 people. The top 100 strong ones can become the guests of the Blood Martial Arena and enjoy the treatment of guests here. Naturally, the higher the ranking, the better the treatment.
In addition, each ranking competition has generous rewards, so the previous ranking competitions have been held with a large number of candidates, but the number of people who can come to this arena is limited.
Tickets for the ranking match were sold at a sky-high price by the Blood Martial Arena. Even the lowest seat cost 200,000 stone coins. Two hundred thousand stone coins is roughly equivalent to two hundred thousand medicine soul stones...
There is also a place here where medicine soul stones can be exchanged for stone coins. Of course, Ning Fan does not need to go through the trouble of exchanging stone coins to buy tickets. He is here to compete directly.
When the time came, Ning Fan had already arrived at Arena No. 1 of the Blood Martial Arena as scheduled. Ning Fan, like other contestants, stayed in their own separate lounges before entering, and was required to put on a mask and special uniform before entering, in order to conceal their identities.
All contestants were given a mask, some in the shape of animals, some in the shape of ghosts and gods, and all kinds of masks. Ning Fan even saw a horn mask that was exactly the same as Xian Yuchun among some masks.
Ning Fan also received a mask, a fire fox mask.
After observing closely, Ning Fan discovered that these masks were extremely good at concealing aura. Although they were not as good as his innate ghost mask, they were still far behind. However, these masks seemed to have a limit on the number of times they could be used. They would become useless after about four or five uses. , not something durable.
It’s no wonder that there are more than a thousand people participating in today’s ranking competition. How can we distribute the real good goods one by one?
"Everyone in this battle must abide by the rules of my blood martial arts arena. Once you participate in the battle, you will no longer be your former identity, but a warrior, a warrior who cannot be held responsible even if you die! There are three major prohibitions here, and no one is allowed to violate them. , Violators will be killed without mercy! First, during the competition, you are not allowed to reveal your identity here! Second, you are not allowed to identify others during the competition! Third, you are not allowed to attack the referee!"
Before entering, all the contestants heard this transmission, and Ning Fan was no exception.
In the pre-match lounge, there are dozens of kinds of shirts and armors on display, all of which are customized for the Blood Martial Arena. Ning Fan can choose to wear one of them, and is not allowed to wear his own clothes to participate in the battle.
There are types of armor that Ning Fan has never seen before, and there are also four-day clothes that Ning Fan is used to seeing.
The fox mask Ning Fan got was fiery red, so he chose a fiery red armor to wear. It was not a full-body armor, but only a few decorative armor pieces. The defense was also pitifully weak. It really just looked good.
This is of course for the sake of fairness. If the defense of the armor issued by the Blood Martial Arena is too high, it will most likely affect the outcome of the competition, which is not allowed.
Interestingly, the moment he put on the armor, the mask seemed to have a certain fit with the armor, and then a restriction was triggered between the two, sending out a sound transmission to tell Ning Fan a message.
It turns out that although the masks are similar, the armors are all unique. Different masks paired with different armors will get completely different code names. In the blood martial arts arena, the name Ning Fan has no meaning. Only the code name given by the armor will be known to the audience!
"Remember your code name - Killing Fox!"
Killing Fox... Ning Fan was wearing a fox mask, but the codename he got was Killing Fox, which seemed a bit unlucky. Of course, Ning Fan would not care about such a trivial matter.
And as soon as he entered the venue, he found that there were many people with conflicting names.
For example, someone wears a ghost head and mask, but his code name is Ghost Slayer.
Someone wears an emperor mask, but his code name is Emperor Tu...
Um?
I don't know if it was an illusion, but in the crowd of people entering the venue, the contestant named Tu Huang seemed to glance in his direction, with an unpredictable cold look in his eyes, which gave Ning Fan a sense of danger.
There was no malice in that coldness, it was just that he had experienced a lot of blood, so he was a little cold and unfeeling. Such a demonic gaze was almost the only one Ning Fan had ever seen in his life, and even he felt a little awe-inspiring! Xin Dao said that this Blood Martial Ranking Tournament is indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It is not easy to get the reward of the innate elixir. The Slaughter Emperor also needs to pay more attention...
That’s all, let’s give it a try!
The person presiding over this ranking battle is an old man in red. He has the cultivation level of the early stage of Suinian. In this bloody martial arts arena, he is called the judge.
The Adjudicator cannot be attacked. This ban was added because in the past, someone single-handedly killed all the other contestants. In the end, he was not happy enough and even killed the Adjudicator, which immediately angered him. He entered the Blood Martial Arena and wanted to kill this person, but that person still escaped from the Blood Martial Arena alive. His magical power was truly amazing.
Time passed little by little, and gradually, almost all the contestants put on masks and armors and entered the venue. Only a few people did not come, were late, or abstained.
The ruling made the old man look at the time and closed the door to the lounge. The entrance was officially over, and roars and cheers suddenly sounded above the amphitheater.
Gradually, the cheers became unified, leaving only one uniform word.
kill! kill! kill!
The audience doesn't care who comes first, what they want to see is killing and blood splattering everywhere!
Naturally, some people come here to gamble. Betting on the top, top ten, and top 100 players in this ranking competition can also be used for fun.
"Everyone seems to be impatient, so I won't talk nonsense. The process of the ranking competition is the same for every session. There are 1,142 applicants for this session, and the actual number of attendees is 1,006. Sixteen people, so a total of 533 life and death stages are needed..."
The old man finished speaking and clapped his hands. Suddenly there was a roaring sound from the ground of the arena, and then five hundred and thirty-three cylindrical stone platforms rose from the ground like a mechanism.
Each cylindrical stone platform is ten feet wide, and life and death must be decided within those ten feet.
There is also a huge stone screen as smooth as a mirror, rising from the ground. On that screen, there are thousands of names. The names at the front are basically the winners of the ranking competition in the previous or previous years, and the names at the back are arranged in random order, and they are basically people who have never been ranked. As everyone's performance improves, the ranking will continue to change.
Every contestant will receive an identity card before the game. This identity card is used not only to enter the venue, but also to participate in the competition.
At the beginning of the race, a non-stop battle was adopted, with a duel between two and two. In this stage, there was no need to distinguish between life and death. The 533 life and death platforms were all numbered. Which number was displayed on the contestant's identity card? Which platform of life and death you board, the opponent is random, and the winner must be determined within one stick of incense, otherwise both will be recorded as 1 loss.
If there is a winner, the winner will be credited with 1 win and the loser will be credited with 1 loss.
If the stage of life and death needs to appear for ten breaths, but you have not yet boarded the stage of life and death, it will also be counted as a loss.
This kind of random pairwise duel will continue. During this period, if you lose ten games, you will lose your qualification. If you die, you will also be disqualified.
This process continues until there are no more than 100 contestants left, and the pair-wise duel is terminated.
After that, it was the most exciting melee fight, and the ranking of the top 100 people was finally determined.
Not all the people in the top 100 can survive to the end...and if you want to get the innate soul-replenishing elixir - Night Lingzhi, you need to win the first place.
"The ranking battle begins!"
As soon as the verdict finished, the identity tags hanging around the waists of each contestant suddenly flashed with words.
The number that appeared on Ning Fan's identity card was one hundred and seventeen. As soon as this number appeared, Ning Fan made a few leaps and appeared on the platform corresponding to life and death.
And his opponent, who appeared next, was a big man wearing a mountain boar mask, and his armor couldn't cover his fat body.
This person's appearance is not good, and his cultivation level is also not strong. He is only in the late stage of Duzhen!
Seeing that his opponent was not strong, Ning Fan scanned his mind elsewhere and soon found Xian Yuchun at No. 74 Life and Death Platform.
Xian Yuchun's code name is Nu Niu. Although Nu Niu is blunt, he can carry a heavy load for thousands of miles, so it is a very suitable name for him.
"Hey, you are fighting against me, the Pig Emperor, and you still dare to look around. You are really looking for death!"
The big man in the meat mountain smiled solemnly, shook his sleeves and robes, and dozens of magic weapons with strong spiritual power were directed at Ning Fan at the same time, including many magic weapons that were higher than the fifth nirvana of the day after tomorrow.
With such an all-out attack, even the early stage of Shekong would be in a hurry. This person probably wanted to make a quick decision and deal with Ning Fan earlier, but unexpectedly, Ning Fan just flicked his sleeves and took away all his magic weapons. After punching out, the big man didn't even see the shadow of Ning Fan's fist clearly. He felt that all the bones in his body were shattered and he vomited blood and flew out of the ring.
Pig Emperor, 0 wins and 1 loss!
Kill the fox, 1 win and 0 losses!
hiss!
Some spectators in the stands immediately noticed the instant kill on this stage of life and death. Defeating a late-stage Duzhen player so quickly, that contestant named Shashenghu was so strong!
But when everyone found out that Killing Fox did not kill him, but spared Pig Emperor's life, they suddenly became dissatisfied.
What they want to see is blood, what they want to see is killing! It would be fine if he tried his best to injure him. This killing fox clearly had the strength to kill the Pig Emperor with one strike, but he was merciless, which really aroused the dissatisfaction of some people!
It's a pity that these people are dissatisfied. What does Guan Ningfan have to do with it?
He came to fight for the night Ganoderma lucidum, not to be a monkey show for others. Although this place is a life and death arena, there is no life or death enmity between each other. Everything is between killing and not killing. He just spared the Pig Emperor's life. No one else needs to talk!
"Noisy!"
Ning Fan gave a drink full of demonic power, and the overwhelming evil aura immediately shocked many spectators who were shouting and scolding. These few people were covered in cold sweat and did not dare to say any more.
Of course, more people didn't pay attention to Ning Fan's life and death platform at all, but focused on other places.
"The ninety-seventh stage of life and death is the duel between the Bronze Sparrow Immortal and the ape disciple. The ape disciple is not weak, but he was ranked 49th in the last ranking match. But unfortunately, what he encountered was the last ranking match. The number one Bronze Bird Immortal, haha, this is really bad luck!"
"No. 280 Life and Death Platform, Sword Corpse! This person was the fourth in a certain class many years ago. Due to some reasons, he disappeared for a long time, but he appeared again in this class! Now that he has returned, I am afraid he will have to fight with Tongque The immortals compete for the first place!"
"These two people are nothing. I heard that Master Tota of the Shuitian Department came to participate in the ranking battle in person for that night's Ganoderma lucidum. That's the cultivation level of a half-step immortal. I just don't know which one of them It's Master Tota. I didn't see the iconic magic weapon Xuanling Pagoda. I think Master Tota deliberately concealed his identity..."
"I heard that there are even guardians of the tombs of the Holy Mountain coming to compete..."
With five hundred and thirty-three duels going on at the same time, there were too many places to focus on, and Ning Fan had never shown any fame, so even if some people noticed him, it was only a very small number of people.
He ended the duel early and simply stood on the stage of life and death to watch the others duel. There are many who can tell the winner in an instant, and there are also some who make deadly moves. Naturally, there are also people of equal strength who are fighting each other, trying to decide the winner within a stick of incense, but they often end up losing both sides...
After a stick of incense, a total of 402 stages of life and death ended the battle, and the remaining stages ended in a draw, with each receiving 1 loss.
After only one round, more than 30 people died, and more than 100 people were seriously injured and could no longer fight. After such a screening, only 905 people were left to fight.
Then, the second round of life and death battle order appeared, and Ning Fan's serial number was No. 392.
After a few leaps, Ning Fan appeared on the stage corresponding to life and death. His opponent was a person at the peak of Duzhen. Without saying anything, he punched him away.
Another instant kill!
Killing the fox, 2 wins and 0 losses.
By the end of the second round, Ning Fan's record had reached over 300, and not many could win two games in a row.
Then in the third round, the opponent lost the air in the mid-term and won again!
Fourth round, fifth round, sixth round…
Shashenghu's record continues to soar. There are very few people here who can make Ning Fan feel troublesome. After ten rounds, he has a record of 10 wins and 0 losses, and his ranking has risen to 55th.
Finally got some people's attention.
"Slaying Fox? Never heard of it. Is this your first time competing?"
"This person has won ten games in a row, and all of them were instant kills! Could it be that he is a dark horse in this ranking match!"
After ten rounds, there were only about 400 people left who could fight.
The eleventh round, the twelfth round, the thirteenth round...the twentieth round.
Ning Fan still had a winning streak that was almost instantaneous. Even at the peak of She Kong, no one could resist his ancient demon-breaking punch. His record has actually been ranked ninth!
There were eight other people who also continued to win. Those eight people also noticed Ning Fan!
The strange thing is that Ning Fan, who initially brought a sense of danger to the Emperor Slaughter, has no winning streak. 19 wins and 1 loss, and the only loss was to the Tongquexian who ranked first in the previous session.
"The Bronze Bird Immortal is a late-stage cultivation of Sui Nian. Did the Slaughter Emperor lose, or did he lose on purpose..."
This duel has reached the twenty-ninth round in total, and there are finally only a hundred contestants left, no more, no less.
Ning Fan's record was still ninth. He maintained a complete victory, but the people in front also had a complete victory. Even so, the name of Shashenghu has many fanatical supporters here.
Although Ning Fan has not killed anyone yet, his style of killing in seconds still makes many people happy to watch.
Xian Yuchun has 22 wins and 7 losses, ranking 75th.
As for Tu Huang... he has 21 wins and 8 losses. Every time he loses, he loses to the top eight strong players, which many people consider to be bad luck.
And for some reason, Ning Fan always had the feeling that the Emperor Slaughter's eyes were always scanning him intentionally or unintentionally.
The chilling feeling it gave him... was definitely not an illusion! There is no way this person is so weak that he loses all the way, but if it is intentional, why...
"You have met the Niu Gui Supreme, right?"
Suddenly, a message came to Ning Fan's ears, and it was the words of the Tu Huang!
"Supreme Niu Gui, what is that?" Ning Fan glared and asked in a voice transmission, but he guessed in his heart that this Supreme Niu Gui could only be the quasi-sage with the surname Niu from Nanyao Temple?
"Haha, interesting..."
When Emperor Tu saw that Ning Fan had spoken about the Niu Gui Supreme, he was not confused or forgotten. He suddenly flashed a bright light, but he stopped talking to Ning Fan.
In his heart, he secretly thought that this external cultivator is indeed quite remarkable. He can even ignore the five-finger illusion that pervades the entire Dabei. His talent in illusion is truly astonishing. After all, even some immortal emperors have no ability to remember the five supreme beings... (To be continued.)
