Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't have much reaction, Ou Yezi and others stopped saying anything.

Even though he knew that Xiao Ran's cultivation had reached the realm of Sword Emperor.

But when it comes to a competition between an early-stage Sword King and a mid-stage or even late-stage Sword Emperor, they can't possibly be optimistic about it.

Although they mentioned the top twenty, in their impression, this should be Xiao Ran's highest estimate, right?

If they knew that this was just a casual perfunctory move by Xiao Ran, who knows what they would think?

After several people talked about other things again, they returned to their houses.

On this day, Xiao Ran did not continue to practice. Tonight, he only needed to have a good sleep. As for the competition? Tomorrow is just the preliminary round, and Xiao Ran didn't care about it at all.

Time passes slowly.

The night passed so quickly.

When the sun rose, the sun did not rise in the entire Wolong City, and the entire Wolong City was completely boiling.

Today is destined to be the most lively day in the entire Wolong City, and also the most lively day in the entire Swordsmen Guild.

Because starting from today, for three consecutive days, the entire Swordsmen Guild will be completely open to the outside world, and even ordinary people can enter it unconditionally.

So as soon as it dawned today, countless people got up on the street and poured into the Swordsmen's Guild, just to enter in advance and seize a powerful position.

Xiao Ran got up earlier today. He took out an ordinary long sword in the courtyard and waved it slowly, repeating the simplest sword skills over and over again.

Despite this, Xiao Ran was very serious every time and had no intention of taking matters into his own hands.

It wasn't until early in the morning that Xiao Ran stopped practicing swordsmanship and went back to his room to freshen up. After coming out, he found that Ou Yezi and the others had already come out.

"Let's go, it's still early now, let's go have some breakfast and talk early!" Changzhi said with a smile.

"Yeah." Naturally the other two people wouldn't have any objections.

The three of them walked out slowly to finish breakfast, and then walked towards the other side of the Swordsmen's Guild.

The Swordsmen's Guild occupies an area of ​​more than ten miles, of which only half is used for buildings and offices, while most of the rest is used for tasks in the hall and for competitions.

The venue used for today's competition is exactly inside the Swordsmen's Guild.

The location where Xiao Ran and others walked was from inside the Swordsmen Guild, while the other people entered the venue directly from other locations, so Xiao Ran and others did not see the huge crowd of people.

After about a stick of incense, Xiao Ran and others finally heard the story of Ding Bo. In the past ten miles, although everyone had increased their speed very quickly, they still walked in the time of a stick of incense. There was no way, they couldn't fly directly.

Right? That would be a bit too presumptuous.

Stepping out of the last vermillion-lacquered gate, Xiao Ran and others were immediately shocked by the sea of ​​people in front of them.

At a glance, it was densely packed with people moving for countless miles, and nothing else could be seen at all, not even the slightest trace of the competition arena.

Fortunately, when it was originally designed, the arenas were not concentrated together, but scattered across twenty arenas, so the crowd seemed a little thinner. Otherwise, there would have been even more.

After Xiao Ran and others followed Ou Yezi and others around the outermost perimeter, they finally found the special passage into the venue.

Under the gaze of countless people, Xiao Ran and others walked in.

As soon as they entered, Xiao Ran and others discovered that there were a dozen other people in front of them.

The people in front looked back at Xiao Ran and others, but did not continue to speak. Xiao Ran and others, however, ignored them and walked over. Behind Xiao Ran and others, someone also came in.

Moreover, these people are more or less hostile to Xiao Ran.

At first, Xiao Ran thought something had happened to him, but later he realized that any of these people could be opponents, and it was normal to have hostility, so he stopped thinking about those things.

As people flowed into the field, one could see at a glance that there was a space nearly one mile around the field.

Those onlookers can only watch from outside this range.

Inside, there are a large number of seats arranged there, and many people are already sitting there to rest.

After Xiao Ran and others followed Ou Yezi and others in, they immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, only because the number of people they came was really pitifully small.

"Who are they? Why are there only three? Isn't this a bit exaggerated? There must be at least a dozen others? Do they know they have no chance, so they are too lazy to bring too many people?" A person watched from the outside.

When Xiao Ran and others walked in, they whispered.

As soon as these words were spoken, more people immediately gathered around to watch, almost like a wave of waves. Everyone looked at Xiao Ran and the others.

Xiao Ran and others simply ignored these.

After looking around, Xiao Ran and the others came to an empty place and sat down. Then Xiao Ran closed his eyes and stopped watching this.

The competition is decided by drawing lots. It is not a designated opponent competition. After everyone is present, the competition is decided, and those who win are drawn again to compete.

After a few games like this, some weak players can be completely eliminated. Regarding this rule, Xiao Ran also nodded slightly.

Time passed unknowingly, and the number of people admitting defeat in the field gradually increased. At a glance, there were more than a thousand people, and there were countless people watching outside the field. Some people even ran to

Watch the situation here from the tops of some trees.

Fortunately, it is daytime now, and martial arts practitioners have excellent eyesight, so they can see clearly from such a distance.

Boom...

Boom...boom...

Three melodious bells suddenly sounded from nowhere.

The sound of the bell sounded long and far away. Just once, Xiao Ran knew that the person who rang the bell was definitely not at the level of the Sword Emperor, because everyone present could hear it.

This kind of control is also rare.

"The president is here, Xiao Ran, please pay attention!" Ou Yezi ordered in a low voice. Outside, he would still call Xiao Ran by his first name, not for the sake of face, but to avoid trouble.

Almost at the same time Ou Yezi finished speaking, several figures suddenly appeared in mid-air somewhere in the Swordsmen's Guild, and then came step by step.

"There are actually five sword sects, one intermediate sword sect, and three peak sword kings!" Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the sky in the distance. With just one glance, he could see the cultivation level of these people.

I don’t know whether it was to show off deliberately or what, but the ten figures in the sky all walked towards this side step by step in mid-air.

Although they seemed slow, every step they took was very steady, as if there were stairs in the sky, and they were walking down those stairs.

"I don't know how far the president's cultivation has reached now. He actually managed to walk through the air. It's really amazing. I'm afraid he has already reached the early stage of the Sword Sect, right?" Changzhi said with some envy on the side.

Hearing these words, Xiao Ran rolled his eyes immediately, and then he realized after thinking about it that these people must have deliberately hidden their cultivation under the Sword Emperor. After all, not everyone is as perverted as him.

Spiritual power can observe others thoroughly.

When Xiao Ran was thinking about this, the people in the sky had already arrived above everyone, and then stepped directly to a position due south. There were dozens of seats there.

After the group of people reached the sky, they went directly to the chair. However, the old man in the lead was suspended in mid-air and did not go down.

"That person is the president of the swordsmen union headquarters. No one knows what level of cultivation he has reached." Ou Yezi introduced to Xiao Ran in a low voice from the side.

Xiao Ran looked towards the sky.

It was an old man with white beard and hair. At first glance, the old man looked about fifty or sixty years old, but his skin was rosy. If it weren't for the silver hair on his head, he would have looked like a middle-aged man.

The old man was not very thin, and his eyes looked around intently. Then he nodded with satisfaction. His eyes circulated around the dozens of Sword Emperors, and finally stopped at a man in black.

On the young man in a long gown.

The young man held a silver long sword in his hand, and the hilt of the long sword seemed to look like some kind of monster.

The young man seemed to realize something. He raised his head and glanced at the old man before looking away.

Xiao Ran also noticed this person. This person was Lin Chen, the genius Ou Yezi told him. He was only nineteen years old and had already reached the peak of the Sword Emperor. He had half-stepped into the realm of the Sword Sect and was known as the most powerful in the entire Wolong Continent.

of genius.

"This Swordsmen Guild Ranking Challenge, this time, is the thirty-fifth one. I hope it will be a complete success. Now, please come up and explain the rules to everyone. Everyone, listen carefully. If you violate it, you will be punished!

"The old man said with a cold snort at the end, which made everyone's hearts tremble.

After saying these words, the old man went down and another old man came up.

This man was wearing a gray robe, with a pair of sword eyebrows hanging upside down, and his face was filled with a murderous aura. He just glanced coldly below, and the original noise suddenly disappeared.

"Okay, let me introduce the rules to you. There are also rules that are not allowed to be violated. If you violate them, you will be ineligible to continue the competition, or in more serious cases, your cultivation will be abolished!" After the old man said this, his sharp eyes swept below.

Everyone.

Almost all of those people lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.

Only a few people's eyes did not change at all.

Among them were several people whom Xiao Ran didn't know, as well as Xiao Ran and Lin Chen, a young man who dared to look directly above.

Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Ran with some surprise. This person who was in the junior Sword King realm actually dared to look at the Sword Sect like this? This made him feel a little surprised and couldn't help but look at Xiao Ran a few more times.

However, Xiao Ran was too lazy to look at them. When he was not interested, he sat back again. The old man said a lot in mid-air, which was nothing more than "no intentional hurting, no killing, etc." After a series of words, he almost
Chapter completed!
