When Lu Chen saw this, he didn't dare to hesitate anymore and immediately blocked his ears.
"Shut up, mother!"
As soon as he covered his ears with his hands, a roar like thunder resounded throughout the duel field, and even swept the entire duel field with a stream of air.
After the sound, there was a dead silence in the duel arena. Even some people who didn't know the reason had their mouths covered by the spectators on the side, for fear that these spectators, whose ears were so painful from the shock, would roar and cause dissatisfaction of the shrews.
"Hey..." One of the eight city lords sighed.
"What are you doing?" The shrew pinched her waist with both hands, as if you were trying to do it again.
"Well... I have a toothache. Look, oh, oh, oh, oh, me!"
Everyone shook their heads. There was really nothing they could do about the shrew. For the sake of Gangnancheng, they had no choice but to keep doing this. But fortunately, the shrew was not the kind of unreasonable person.
"What did my man say wrong? Gangnancheng has been like this for so many years. If we can't reach an agreement, let the people below come out and have a fight. After the fight, everything will be solved."
"This..." A city lord looked bitter.
"What she said is right. She has been here like this for so many years, otherwise it would be like this!" Some people objected, while others supported it.
"This time is not a child's play. This time we are going to suppress bandits. Those guys keep an eye on this piece of fat in Gangnancheng every day. If something happens to us one day, they won't be able to kill us."
…
Everyone was arguing endlessly, but since the shrew roared twice, other people in the duel field could not hear what the eight city lords said, and they could not even distinguish the shape of their mouths.
"Spiritual formation?" Lu Chen condensed. He didn't expect these eight city lords to be so careful and even set up spiritual formations around his seat.
"These eight city lords are very thoughtful. It seems that what they are discussing is not simple. As city lords, they will never be so reckless as to fight with other city lords for temporary gains. It seems that everything they do is just a facade. I am afraid that the most iron-clad city lords in the entire Gangnan City Tong’s power is these eight city lords, otherwise, that fierce woman..."
Thinking of this, Lu Chen shook his head, deeply feeling the terror of the eight city lords. They are powerful and thoughtful. Such opponents are undoubtedly the most terrifying. "Fortunately, we are not enemies!"
"Well, is it over?" Thinking of the terror of the eight city lords, Lu Chen focused his attention around their seats and found that there was spiritual power rippling there, "It is indeed a spiritual formation!"
Spiritual power is rippling, and it seems that the eight city lords have finished their discussion. One look at the eight people, some have relaxed faces, some are worried, and some are indifferent.
"Why do we have to discuss it in the duel arena, and then let out the promise of a duel? According to Uncle Wen's wishes, this kind of thing is extremely difficult to happen."
"Everyone knows the rules of Gangnan City. You are like this, and so are our eight city lords. We discuss what can be discussed, and what cannot be discussed..." The city lord who spoke suddenly raised his hand.
"Decisive battle! Decisive battle!"
"decisive battle!"
…
The roar echoed throughout the duel field!
The city lord who spoke pressed his hands down, and there was deathly silence in the duel arena.
"Yes, fists are what we are talking about. However, this duel is a little different. In the past, the eight city lords selected three people from their respective forces to compete. This time it is different. The people who came to participate in the competition are not No longer the people in their respective factions, but the eight people in the duel field!"
After the city lord finished speaking, uproar rang out one after another in the duel arena. This rule was a bit nonsensical.
As the eight cultivators in the duel field were allowed to fight, the rules changed too much, even inexplicably.
The eight city lords, even if they usually use blinding methods, are still killed by their disciples and subordinates, which is extremely realistic. Now they, the onlookers, are asked to do it, and everyone is puzzled.
Hearing this, Uncle Wen also looked at the few businessmen around him. They had been to Gangnancheng many times, and they were also confused at the moment. They shook their heads and said, "Master Lu, this one is the seventh among the eight city lords and has the lowest strength. Even the eighth oldest man is not as good as him, but he is the person that the city lords least want to offend."
"Oh? Uncle Wen, what's so special about this person?" Lu Chen was confused. He has the lowest strength, but is the most feared. This kind of person is the most terrifying. He must have extraordinary means, just like the shrew before. The thick-skinned city lords didn’t want to offend.
However, there is an essential difference between the two. The former relies on means, while the latter plays the emotional card.
"Master Lu is smart!" Uncle Wen said, giving Lu Chen a thumbs up.
"Uncle Wen, just call me Lu Chen. Master Lu makes me feel uncomfortable all the time!"
"This..." Uncle Wen was a little at a loss. Their roots are in Gucheng. Gucheng belongs to the Lu family. Anyone who wants to go back to Gucheng would dare to be disrespectful to the future head of the Lu family, unless he is like the previous mercenary captain. If you want to play a big game, if you succeed, stay away from the isolated city.
"That's it!" Lu Chen no longer gave Uncle Wen a chance to shirk.
"Then... okay, Lu... Chen!" Uncle Wen was still a little timid.
Lu Chen heard that Master Lu was awkward. He asked Uncle Wen to call him by his first name, and the latter was even a little trembling.
"Well, from now on, everyone can just call me Lu Chen. When we go out, we all take care of each other. Why should we be so restrained? If you say "Master Lu" to the left and "Master Lu" to the right, you won't be afraid of getting me killed."
Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Lu Chen lowered his face and said, "Everyone was shocked when they heard this. As businessmen, they naturally know that trouble comes from words."
"Okay, everyone listens to Master Lu. From now on, we will call him Lu Chen. By the way, the Seven City Lords mentioned just now are very smart among several city owners. They are very good at all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. No matter what, how many times do they do? Every city lord will look to this seventh city lord for advice."
"Oh!" Lu Chen suddenly realized and couldn't help but look carefully at the seven city lords above.
The figures in the stands raised their hands and pressed down, and there was no sound in the duel arena. It was very quiet. Everyone knew that the Seventh City Lord who stood up was the wise man of Gangnan City. He was responsible for many things, and the latter also came from The other city lords have not been disappointed.
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at the Seventh City Lord. This person looked very young, in his early twenties, with fair complexion and an indescribable illusion between his eyebrows, which always gave people the impression that this person was very honest. A feeling of trustworthiness.
"This person is not simple!" Elder Ge's voice suddenly appeared in Lu Chen's mind.
"The teacher also thinks he is not simple?" Lu Chen condensed. Mr. Ge has a very high vision. There are not many people that Lu Chen knows who can get such evaluation from him.
"I went to see him with the strength of a great martial artist!"
"Uh..." Lu Chen was speechless. How could a being who could be admired by the seven city lords of Gangnan City be so simple among great martial arts masters? He felt that what Mr. Ge said was nonsense.
"What do you think, kid? I came here to remind you to be careful about that shrew!"
"Shrew?" Lu Chen was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that Mr. Ge came out just to remind him of this. In his opinion, there seemed to be nothing special about this shrew except that she had a loud voice and was much stronger than him.
"Teacher, is there anything special about her?"
"Observe for yourself, you can make seven powerful warriors fearful. Do you really think you can be thick-skinned and just play the emotional card?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen was speechless. Looking back, he realized that Mr. Ge's words indeed made sense, "It seems that Gangnancheng is not as simple as he thought!"
"Our eight city lords have discussed this duel. Each of us selects an audience member from the duel venue. His strength must be around the level of a martial artist. This will determine the future of Gangnan City."
"What?"
"Isn't this too childish?"
…
As soon as the Seventh City Lord finished speaking, there was an uproar below. Not many people supported him, and some people remained silent.
Over the years, although the actions of several city lords sometimes seemed ridiculous, the results always amazed them.
"Shut up, the eight city lords have never made a decision that was not for the sake of Gangnan City. I believe this time will be no exception, so you'd better keep your mouth shut."
"Who do you think you are?"
…
There were constant roars in the stands, and seeing that someone was about to take action, Lu Chen also pulled Uncle Wen and several businessmen behind him.
"If something happens, you should leave here first!" Lu Chen reminded Old Man Wen and others as he stared at the two noisy monks not far away.
Everyone nodded without saying anything. They also knew that if they stayed, they would only be a burden.
"Shut up, everyone!" The shrew yelled again, and screams broke out in the duel arena, and many people even had their ears bleeding.
Despite the immense pain, no one dared to speak again. Such a scene made several city lords in the stands look embarrassed and bitter.
"Teacher is really a genius. He can tell something fishy. It would be weird if these seven city lords really don't want to mess with the shrew because of her thick skin!"
"Seventh brother, keep talking!"
The Seventh City Lord looked back at the shrew, with a hint of fear in his eyes, "Because this matter is of great importance, the eight of us have discussed that we will give a certain amount of compensation to those who participate in this competition. As for the amount of compensation, it depends on each person's luck. !”
Having said this, the Seven City Lords looked back at the people behind them, and several City Lords stood up one after another.
"I'll go first. I have three Lingtian Pills and one Haotian Pill!"
Wow...
The city lord who stood up had just put the reward he had given on the table in front of him, when he immediately caused an uproar.
Three Spirit Heaven Pills are already a considerable amount of wealth. You must know that when the Sword Sect went to the Gucheng Lu family to force the marriage to be broken off, they only gave one very good Spirit Heaven Pill. However, there are three here, even if the quality is not as good as the sword. Zong, but the quantity is there.
Not to mention the Haotian Pill. If the Lingtian Pill is what any ninth-level warrior wants, and can give the warrior a much higher success rate when breaking through to the warrior realm, then the Haotian Pill is what any warrior wants. Something that all the top experts want.
The purpose is the same as that of Lingtian Pill, but the effectiveness of the medicine determines whether one of them can be used to break through the warrior realm, and the other can be used to break through the peak warrior realm.
Seeing the jade bottle that appeared on the table, even Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little moved.
