The question he asked was also what a group of contestants around him wanted to ask. Even Yu Qing found it a bit strange and wondered if there was something wrong with his brain.
Xiang Zhen glanced at Zhong Ruochen, "I didn't expect that she would go up at the same time."
Kui Kui's eyes widened and he said, "So what if we go up at the same time? You haven't posted your name yet. You can go back and think about it."
Seeing everyone looking at him like a monster, Xiang Zhen asked, "Why retreat?"
Long Xingyun, who was watching, couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Why? Didn't this country bumpkin say that you don't want one fight? You have to fight two."
After saying that, he looked at Yu Qing specifically and emphasized this, just to let Yu Qing know that this is the reason why I won't challenge you.
Kui Kui sneered at Long Xingyun with disdain and continued to explain to Xiang Zhen: "Fighting twice is to flatter you. You have to pass her test first. You may not be her opponent."
Xiang Zhen still said the same thing, "I didn't expect that she would go up at the same time."
Kui Kui glared again, "Do you have a flat head? I told you that you can retreat."
"Retreating out of fear?" Xiang Zhen asked, then his eyes were calm and firm, "Don't retreat!"
"Hey, that's a lump of wood." Kui Kui waved his hand and walked away. He couldn't make sense with such a person, so he ignored him. It was none of his business, so there was no need to be angry with himself.
When the others saw this, they naturally had nothing to say.
The problem is that it's useless to say anything now. The challenge card has been put up and confirmed. According to the rules, going back on it at this time can only be regarded as admitting defeat.
So twenty-five people stood guard in the audience with the presence of the old god.
Qin Fujun, who was on the stage, waited for a long time. Seeing that there was no response from everyone, he shouted again: "If you have any questions about the rules, you can ask me at any time."
In the end, no one said anything. Except for the three people who had already listed their names, the others seemed to have heard nothing. It could be said that they were all waiting and watching.
In this regard, Qin Fujun only smiled and had no temper, so he was mentally prepared.
Because this situation is not new in previous Chaoyang Conferences, most people will be in a wait-and-see state at the beginning of the challenge.
Unlike the lottery competition, no one has a choice. Whenever there is a little choice, they want to use the rules to find the most advantageous opportunity for themselves.
It's definitely rare for someone like Xiang Zhen to come despite being so crowded.
There was gradually noisy movement in the surrounding stands, and there were many voices of teasing and teasing, especially those who had been eliminated before, now taking the opportunity to express their anger.
At the VIP table, tea drinkers drank tea and chatted. Head Zhao invited the distinguished guests to taste fresh spiritual fruits.
Princess Chaoyang could no longer sit still, left her seat, put her hands on her hips, and walked up and down in front of the stage. If her mother hadn't been so intimidating, she might have jumped off.
After hearing the discussion in the stands on both sides for a while, she finally couldn't help it any longer and shouted at the group of contestants, "All the outstanding heroes in the world are just a group of rats with the first rat at the two ends."
Queen Yanyi, who was holding the tea cup, raised her eyelids and said, "Shut up, come back and sit down!"
Princess Chaoyang came back angrily, sat down, and said with anger, "Except for Zhang Zhichen, no one else looks like a man. In my opinion, only Zhang Zhichen is better."
Hearing this, Xiang Lanxuan, who was standing by the stage, glanced at her, then quickly turned her head to look outside, with a suppressed smile on her lips.
Yan Yi also smiled and said, "You don't even know how ugly he is, so you just know him?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Xiang Lanxuan's face froze for an instant, and there was even a hint of horror in her eyes. She suddenly turned back to look at the mother and daughter, as if she felt something was wrong, with a look of surprise and uncertainty in her eyes, and then slowly turned back Look towards Yu Qing.
Princess Chaoyang kicked her feet and pouted: "If we keep waiting like this, I don't know how long it will take."
Yan Yi took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to Zhao Dengzi, "We are spectators and do not understand the rules of the competition. You have to ask Master Zhao about this question."
Princess Chaoyang immediately asked: "Master Zhao, how long do we have to wait?"
Zhao Dengzi was stunned for a moment, looked at the queen's reaction, and then looked at Li Chenghu who seemed to have heard nothing but smiled half-heartedly, and immediately replied: "Quick, quick."
He immediately turned around and waved, beckoning Zhan Yunqi over, and warned: "Go to the host desk and let me know. There is no need to keep delaying. If there is no one else to sign up after the incense stick, the people who have already signed up can start first. .”
"Yes." Zhan Yunqi understood and left.
Yan Yi put down the tea cup and said: "Master Zhao is urging the competition like this, isn't there anything wrong with it?"
Zhao Dengzi said: "No, no, things within the rules cannot wait forever."
Yan Yi nodded, "What Master Zhao said is that we don't understand the rules."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious." Zhao Dengzi said politely.
Li Chenghu smiled faintly, leaned towards Tie Miaoqing again, and pointed at the spiritual fruit on the table, "What, isn't it to your liking?"
Tie Miaoqing shook his head, took a spiritual fruit, and started to chew it slowly.
On the other side of the main stage, after Zhan Yunqi went over and gave instructions, someone quickly walked to the big incense burner and stood guard.
After the time for one stick of incense passed, Qin Fujun walked to the stage again and announced with a smile; "I have already waited for one stick of incense. Since no one will come on stage to hang out anymore, let's continue according to the rules. The first place competition, Zhang Zhichen took the lead To defend the challenge, Shang Yue and Xiang Zhen launch a challenge. According to the rules of the competition, the challenger has the advantage of defending the challenge. Shang Yue needs to fight Xiang Zhen first, and only the winner can challenge the challenge to the champion."
She looked at the audience again, "Shang Yue, Xiang Zhen, you two are both challengers. According to the rules, you must fight immediately without delay. You must reject the opponent to challenge the theory of failure. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Zhong Ruochen nodded.
Xiang Zhenyi replied: "Understood."
"Okay, let's invite you two to compete." After Qin Fujun respectfully invited him, he waved his hand and the rumble of drums sounded immediately.
With the beating of drums, the people in the stands finally cheered up.
Two figures flew into the field one after another, and the twenty-three contestants in the audience also turned to look.
In the competition venue, the two faced each other with a distance of several feet.
Zhong Ruochen, who was wearing a white dress and masked face, was calm and composed, and seemed not to take his opponent seriously.
Xiang Zhen, who was carrying a big sword on his back, stared at his opponent firmly. The broad sword behind his shoulder made faint sounds of sword sounds. The hilt of the sword was slightly drawn out, gradually revealing the edge of the blade.
Zhong Ruochen was keenly aware of the movement of the sword behind him, and suddenly glanced around quickly. He saw that the sand and dust on the ground began to float vaguely, and the floating range was slowly expanding.
Before the drum beat stopped, and before the two sides officially started fighting, a burst of energy was already flowing from Xiang Zhen's body in all directions.
He seemed eager to fight.
A flash of surprise flashed in Zhong Ruochen's eyes. She could feel the purity and strength of the opponent's Qi, which seemed to have no impurities. This was the first time she saw someone with such pure Qi. Not only was he pure, but he was also aggressive, cold, and seemed to have Qi. Edge can hurt.
As soon as the rumble of the drums stopped, announcing the official start of the competition, the dust on the ground exploded in an instant, and it was like a waterfall flowing backwards, instantly submerging both sides of the competition, a cold light flashed behind Xiang Zhen, and the swords were unsheathed at the same time.
The explosive sandstorm instantly blocked the sight of all those watching the battle, and the sounds of fighting became louder and louder.
"What a strong airbending skill."
There were many similar noises in the surrounding stands.
As a person from the Ding Yin District, Yu Qing knew that Xiang Zhen had only used this move in the first competition in the area, without knowing the strength of his opponent, and never used it again. Reappearing at this time, it can be seen that Shang Yue As a formidable enemy.
At the VIP table, staring at the sudden explosion of sand and dust, Li Chenghu also praised, "This level of cultivation and air control can reach this level, it is already very strong."
Yan Yi said casually, "What's the use of having a lot of movement? I'm afraid I'll be asking for trouble if I'm just under control against the 'Thousand Hands Turning Clouds Technique'."
Before she could finish her words, the dust that was about to spread suddenly began to roll up strangely like boiling water, as if a vortex was forming rapidly, shrinking the exploding sandstorm quickly, and it seemed like a tornado was forming, making the surrounding audience stunned. You can feel a suction.
boom!
There was a sudden sound in the fierce fighting, and Xiang Zhen, who pushed the sword in front of him with both hands, was thrown out of the rapidly shrinking sandstorm. In the air, a mouthful of visible blood spurted out, and he hit Xiang Zhen straight down. Off the field.
The hazy shadow that flew towards Zhen also rushed out from the sand. Inside was Zhong Ruochen, who was dimly visible. He seemed to be flying out quickly with a sand curtain, and the tail of the sand curtain dragged out the entire sand. The whole huge piece of dust actually started flying with her.
"Wow!"
People in the stands around him let out a cry of surprise, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
It is a phoenix. The large and small whirlpools of sand and dust together form the image of a giant bird. It looks like a phoenix flying gracefully, which is visually shocking.
Many people looked dumbfounded, and a group of contestants in the audience were even more moved. Yu Qing also looked solemn.
And Xiang Zhen's figure had already hit the outside world.
Just when everyone thought the victory or defeat was decided, a chant that echoed throughout the audience overshadowed the cry of the "phoenix" spreading its wings, "The stars and the moon are far away, but my sword has wings!"
He was about to hit the ground when he suddenly drew an arc and rose into the sky.
Everyone looked intently and saw that he had already turned over and stood up on his sword, quickly flying around the field, spinning all the way into the air.
"Sword flying!"
"It's Sword Flying!"
There were bursts of panic in the venue.
Including the twenty-three contestants in the audience, who could not be surprised? Flying across the sky and the earth is the dream of many monks. It is almost something that can only be achieved in the advanced realm.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the whole place was roaring with wind. I saw Zhong Ruochen on the head of "Phoenix" waving his arms to cast spells. The large and small vortices all over "Phoenix" seemed to be spinning faster, but when Zhong Ruochen waved his hand, he immediately He saw the "Phoenix" soaring with its wings spread, fluttering its wings and chasing the swordsman in the air.
That momentum and momentum shocked countless people. This is the first time such a shocking fighting scene has occurred since the Chaoyang Conference.
Princess Chaoyang couldn't sit still anymore, jumped off her seat, ran to the edge of the stage, opened her mouth, and looked up at the sky.
Ordinary people like Wen Xin and Xiao Hong looked as if their jaws dropped when they saw such a scene.
Xiang Zhen, whose mouth was full of blood, was hunting in the air against the wind. Regardless of whether the "Phoenix" below was chasing him or what was happening below, he kept moving forward with cold and firm eyes, only the blue sky above his head. Flying high into the sky without stopping.
