One hundred and twenty-fourth pre-match test (Part 2)
Zhao Zheng stood still and looked toward the entrance of the Sword Tomb, his eyes far above the heads of everyone.
The Sword Tomb is located in the heart of a rugged mountain. The entire mountain is lined with strange rocks and lacks vegetation, making it look bare. The entrance to the Sword Tomb is at the foot of the mountain, blocked by a stone gate with the word "Jian Zhong" carved on it.
There are two dish-shaped stone seats in front of the stone gate, and there is an old man sitting on each seat. These two people are very popular, and their eyes are like lightning, and they are masters at a glance.
There is an open space in front of the two masters, and the ground is full of swords. There are so many swords, they are so dense that they can't be counted. An invisible inner force fills the sword formation all the time, causing all the swords to resonate and tremble slightly.
.Under the sunlight, these swords shine with silver light, and the light merges into one, dazzling and aggressive.
Just looking at the sword formation from a distance makes people feel awe-inspiring and respectful.
The sword slave led the team at the front and turned around to introduce: "The sword formation in front of you is called the 'Galaxy Sword Formation'. It will remain activated all year round. No matter who comes, the formation will not be restrained. Beware of anyone trespassing on the sword tomb.
Steal the sword. Only by passing through this sword formation can you reach the entrance of the sword tomb. I will lead the way later. You follow me. Follow me as I go and as you go. Don’t make a mistake and enter the sword formation by mistake.
dangerous place."
Many of the challengers responded sparsely and agreed.
The sword slave turned around and continued walking forward, walking very slowly. The beaters behind him followed him closely, forming a long dragon.
Zhao Zheng's position was relatively back, at the end of the team. He waited until most of the people entered the sword formation before he took steps to follow. This Galaxy Sword Formation was much more complicated than the dead-end sword formation that Sword Slave had deployed before.
, Zhao Zhengji didn’t know how to move, so he could only follow behind him honestly, without making any mistakes.
The sword slave led these people to the entrance of the sword tomb one after another, greeted the two masters of the Galaxy Sword Array, and passed on the code.
The two masters responded using sound transmission methods and allowed the sword slave to continue moving forward.
The sword slave walked to the stone door, pressed his old hand on it, opened the stone door with his secret power, and stepped in.
There is no light source in the sword tomb, but the hundreds of swords inserted on the stone platform are still shining brightly, illuminating the entire mountainside.
A cold air condensed by many swords rushed out and hit the people near the door, just like the cold wind carrying snowflakes in the twelfth lunar month of winter. This is also thanks to the fact that these people are warriors and have strong bones. If they were ordinary people, they would
You have to be blown until your whole body trembles.
Many beaters walked into the sword tomb one by one with awe, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around.
The Sword Tomb is a forbidden area in the Sword Making Villa, and outsiders are not allowed to enter easily. This time, so many outsiders are allowed in at once, which is unprecedented.
Zhao Zheng walked at the end of the team, then entered, looked around, and then locked his eyes on the stone platform opposite. There were bare stones everywhere in this sword tomb, and there was nothing interesting to see. Only the stone platform was the most attractive.
The sight line.
There are hundreds of swords stuck in this stone platform, which covers a large area. Looking from here, you can't see all the swords clearly, you can only see some swords on the edge. The stone platform is connected by a long and narrow stone step.
Both sides of the stairs were deeply sunken, several feet high, and appeared dark because the light could not shine through.
The sword slave was the first to jump onto the stone platform, stood on it, and told the challengers below: "Come up later and hold the hilt of the First Sword one by one. As long as you can hold a small
Even if you pass, if you are disliked by Zichujian and bounced away by Zichujian, you will be considered a failure. During the process of holding the sword, it is forbidden to use external and internal skills. If anyone cheats secretly, he will be immediately disqualified from the competition and expelled from Zhu.
Sword Villa, you are never allowed to step foot into the Villa, do you understand?"
All the challengers nodded in agreement.
The sword slave waved and ordered the challengers below to come on stage.
Based on the area of this stone platform, let alone more than 20 people, it can accommodate more than 200 people, and there will be room. These challengers stepped onto the stage one after another and stood on it.
The sword slave led everyone to the Zichu Sword located in the center of the stone platform, and told everyone not to touch the swords stuck on the ground around them. Anyone who violated the rules would also be disqualified and expelled from the villa.
Zhao Zheng looked around, and there were many swords stuck on the ground around him. They were so dazzling and varied that it was dizzying to see. Some of these swords were well preserved, and some were incomplete, either with breaks or cracks. These swords
None of the swords are defective. They are all made by famous masters, made of high-quality ore, and painstakingly crafted over many days. These swords even include some discarded swords of medium or even top grade.
When passing some fine swords, you will feel a chill on your legs. Occasionally, you can see those swords moving automatically without wind, which is very magical. Especially those top-grade useless swords, they look full of spirituality.
Zhao Zheng looked forward along the sword at his feet and saw the Zichu sword located in the center of the stone platform!
The sword was stably inserted into the ground, with the hilt facing up and the sword body facing down. The overall proportions were well-proportioned and in compliance with the specifications. There was no decoration on the top and bottom, making it appear simple and unpretentious. The sword exuded an invisible aura, forming a
A cold wind blew around, driving all the swords on the stone platform, like the king of swords!
This group of young warriors from all over the world came here just to win this sword. They staked their own safety on it and decided to participate in the dangerous competition.
According to this, the farthest challenger, nicknamed Hanguang Beyond the Great Wall, came from the Far North Beyond the Great Wall. It took him two months to get to Luoshu Villa.
There was also a man named Dou Dun who encountered an accident on the way to Zhujian Villa and was killed by an assassin, with his head even taken away.
Swords have no eyes. When the arena is officially held, I don’t know if anyone will die because of it.
These people are willing to pay so much for Zichu Sword, which shows how attractive this sword is to them!
No matter who it is, as long as they can get this sword, they will be like a tiger with wings, greatly improving their strength. A top-grade sword not only has the sharpness to cut iron like mud, but also has other wonderful uses.
Zhao Zheng stared at Zi Chujian not far away, his mind was suddenly refreshed and he cheered up.
The sword slave led everyone up to Zichujian and ordered: "Okay, you all line up in a row, don't grab anyone, and hold the hilt of Zichujian one by one."
The person walking in the front happened to be Mo Yunzi. He was the first to hold his hand on the hilt of Zi Chu's sword. Zi Chu's sword trembled slightly, then stopped trembling quickly and did not refuse him. Mo Yunzi saw
Like, the corners of the mouth are raised, showing a proud look on the face.
After a while, the sword slave waved his hand and said: "You are qualified. Release your hands and let the next person come over."
Mo Yunzi reluctantly let go of his hand, walked a few steps forward, and stood aside to wait.
The person who walked up next was the little soul boy. Lin Xiao, he was only about ten years old, and he was at the age when he was very curious. He couldn't hold it any longer, and he eagerly pressed his young hands on the hilt of the sword.
Just like before, Zi Chujian still didn't react this time and accepted Lin Xiao as the challenger.
The little soul boy smiled and went down, and then replaced Zheng Wuji, who went down, and then changed into Kuai Jian. Xin Ling, one by one, took turns to hold the hilt of Zi Chu Sword.
At first, these people were all on tenterhooks, fearing that they would be kicked out by Zi Chujian, but now it seems that Zi Chujian's test is still very loose, and no one has been kicked out so far.
When it was Tieniu's turn to hold the sword, he rolled up a pair of sleeves, revealing a pair of thick arms with thick curly hair, and then reached out to grab the hilt of the Life Sword.
Seeing this, the sword slave smiled and said: "Boy, aren't you very strong? You can try to pull out this first sword."
Tieniu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pointed at the Zichu sword, asking if he could really pull it out and have a look.
The sword slave had ulterior motives, so he nodded and agreed with a smile.
Others were only allowed to hold the hilt of the sword, while Tieniu got the opportunity to pull out the Zichu Sword. This treatment was obviously better than others. Tieniu became energetic, lowered his tall body, and used all his muscles.
His arms became thicker. He struggled with his legs, let out a low cry, and stretched out to draw the Zichu Sword.
The Zichu Sword is only one meter long and weighs only four kilograms. Not to mention a strong man like Tieniu, even an ordinary person can easily lift it. However, the Zichu Sword, which is obviously very light, has become unbearable.
Like a root, it is firmly inserted into the soil and firmly stuck inside.
Tieniu wrestled three times, but failed to move Zichu's sword at all. He suppressed his big black face into a red one, and the veins on his arms bulged.
"I remember that you, kid, ate a lot this morning. How come you have so little strength? If you try harder, if you can't even pull out a sword, you won't make everyone laugh." The sword slave said with a bad smile.
"This first sword is really evil. Why is it inserted so tightly? It's like nails are driven into the ground. I'll try it again." Tieniu blushed and said roughly, and then pressed his other hand down.
On the hilt of the sword, both arms exerted force at the same time, pouring all the strength of the whole body into it.
But no matter how hard Tieniu struggled, Zichu's sword could not move at all. Even the roots of an old tree were not so stable. With Tieniu's strange strength, even a buffalo could be easily knocked down, and even a willow tree could be pulled out of the ground.
Zichu Jian couldn't do anything. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. His palm slipped and fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was an open space around Zichu Jian and there were no other swords stuck on the ground. Otherwise, otherwise
, it has to be cut.
"What the hell, why is this boy's first sword inserted so tightly?" Tieniu asked, panting heavily.
Among the many challengers, there were also many ignorant young people who did not know much about high-grade swords. They were all very curious and looked at the sword slave for answers.
The sword slave laughed and said proudly: "The top-grade sword has hidden secrets. Not only does the sword spirit exist in the sword body, but there is also a 'Dantian slot' that can be used to nurture internal energy. This thing is similar to a person's Dantian and can be used to nurture internal energy.
The internal force is stored inside for later use. When you were pulling out the First Sword with force just now, the sword used its own internal force and poured it into the earth to wrestle with you. Of course, if you are not as strong as it, you can't.
Pulled it out."
"My dear, this top-grade sword is like a monster. Not only does it have a soul, but it also has such strength." Tieniu said with shame.
The other challengers also showed horrified looks. A sword actually has more strength than a fourth-level Heavenly warrior. How much strength can be improved if such a magical weapon is used to help?
"Hehe, the secrets of Zichujian are far more than that. You kids, work hard and try to take Zichujian away. Wouldn't it be wonderful to gain both fame and fortune?" Sword Slave encouraged with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, the passion of many contestants was more or less stimulated. Each one of them opened their eyes and straightened their backs. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became more tense. They wished they could compete now.
It took a lot of time for Tieniu to draw his sword, but he finally passed the test. He retreated and was replaced by the next person.
One person after another is tested, more and more people pass, and fewer and fewer people stay.
A young man who called himself "Zeng Wei" came up. This young man was not well-known and looked very inconspicuous. No one would care if he was thrown into the crowd. These group of challengers were all young leaders. They were like dragons and phoenixes among the people.
In addition to being highly skilled in martial arts, everyone has a sharp-edged personality, but this person named "Zeng Wei" is too ordinary.
But Zhao Zheng knew that "Zeng Wei" was not ordinary. This name was simply a pseudonym. "Zeng Wei"'s real name should be the famous "Clay Figure Zeng. Zeng Hui"!
Zeng Hui is famous all over the world for his vivid disguise skills. No matter how he disguises himself, he can look like anyone, from old men and women to urchins of five or six years old. He can even disguise animals such as jackals, tigers and leopards.
Because of his appearance, he was nicknamed Clay Man Zeng.
It's a pity that although Zeng Hui is very capable, he doesn't follow the right path. He is greedy for money and lustful, and has done a lot of shady things. He has used disguise skills many times to disguise himself as others, take other people's property, and even ruin other people's property.
Wife and daughter. What he did has been exposed twice, and he has been criticized by people in the world. These are just two evil deeds that have been known to people. I don’t know how many more evil deeds are secretly undiscovered.
.
Zeng Hui, like Qin Xing, is a being that everyone calls for beatings in the world, but Zeng Hui is more elusive than Qin Xing, more difficult to catch, and has always been at large.
This time, the Sword Making Villa set up a ring to summon rising stars from all over the world to find a new owner for Zichu Sword. After Zeng Hui inquired, he became greedy, disguised himself as a young man, and came here to participate in the ring.
He possesses the seventh level of heavenly cultivation. With this strength, he is more than enough to deal with a group of idiots. As long as he is not discovered by others, this first sword is in his pocket!
Fortunately, God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. No matter how good Zeng Hui is in disguise, he will still be exposed.
Zhao Zheng stared at Zeng Hui and planned to expose Zeng Hui's disguise later. It was impossible for him to win if Zeng Hui was among the challengers. Moreover, Zeng Hui himself was not a good bird, so he should be given a
A harsh lesson.
Zeng Hui walked up to Zichu Sword and reached out to grab the hilt. As soon as it touched the cold metal, an invisible force came from above and circled around his body three times.
For this test, Zichu Sword mainly tests only two points, one is the challenger's own strength, and the other is the challenger's age. If it finds that the challenger is not strong enough, or has old muscles and bones, it will kill the challenger.
The fighter's hand bounced away. After this test, it found that the muscles and bones of the fighter had been shaped. Although he was not very old, he had lost the vitality that a young man should have. He was definitely not young.
Zichu Jian immediately reacted with resistance, secretly sending out an internal force, trying to push Zeng Hui's hand away.
Zeng Hui noticed something was wrong in the palm of his hand, and quickly and calmly resisted it. Relying on his seventh-level cultivation, he had perfect control over the internal power, so he was not afraid of being discovered by the sword slave.
The sword slave really didn't notice. He stood aside with a normal expression, waiting for the time to be up before another person came on stage.
But Zeng Hui could hide it from the sword slave, but he couldn't hide it from Zi Chujian. Seeing Zeng Hui's resistance, Zi Chujian immediately became furious and used more rebound power. The sword even made a roar like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Qing Xiao!
"Huh?" The sword slave and Zi Chujian were connected by heart, and immediately realized something was wrong, and scolded angrily, "Zeng Wei! You kid, how dare you disobey the rules I set before, use your inner strength to compete with Zi Chujian, and still don't let me go.
!Zi Chujian has the right to choose its master independently. Whoever it despises will not be qualified to participate in the competition!"
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Zeng Hui was afraid that things would get worse, so he had to loosen his hand bitterly, take a step back, and said apologetically: "Junior is eager for success and violated the rules you set before. I really deserve death. I hope you will."
Senior, please let me go for the sake of my youth and ignorance. I am willing to give up this arena competition and leave the Sword Forging Villa."
"Hmph, you stay aside, and after everyone's test is over, I will order you to be expelled from the villa." The sword slave said angrily.
"Thank you, senior, for your kindness." Zeng Hui gritted his teeth unwillingly and stepped aside.
If Zeng Hui was a kind person, it would be okay to leave, but he had done many bad things, how could Zhao Zheng let him go so easily.
"Senior Sword Slave, don't let this person go easily! He is not a young man, but a middle-aged man. His nickname is Clay Man Zeng, and his real name is Zeng Hui. In order to get the Zichu Sword, he disguised himself as a young man. He
How could you let him leave so easily after playing tricks on you like this?" Zhao Zheng said calmly.
"Huh?" The sword slave raised his eyebrows and looked around, but he couldn't find the speaker, and the messenger stopped talking.
The sword slave murmured in his heart and was doubtful, but as long as he had a little doubt, he had to investigate clearly. If this Zeng Wei was really Zeng Hui disguised as Zeng Hui, then the matter would be serious and he would not be lenient. He rolled his eyes and suddenly raised his head.
He shouted loudly at "Zeng Wei", "Zeng Hui is so brave, he dares to disguise himself as a young man to deceive an old man. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"
This sharp shout was like a long whip piercing the air, hitting Zeng Hui hard on the head. He shuddered in fright, his eyes widened, and even his legs became a little weak.
Seeing that "Zeng Wei" was so frightened, the sword slave obviously had something in his heart, so he believed it. He strode over and shouted: "Watch me take off your human skin mask and let you reveal your true face."
, and then take you to my brother for disposal."
In fact, Jian Nu's words were just a test and could not completely confirm Zeng Hui's identity, but when they fell on Zeng Hui's ears, they were like a bolt from the blue.
When Zeng Hui heard that the sword slave was about to tear his human skin mask, he was so frightened that he no longer dared to stay. He flew out toward the cave entrance with his feet on the ground. Judging from the momentum and speed of his escape, his cultivation level
Far surpassing the fifth-level heavenly martial artist, and even overpowering the sixth-level heavenly warrior, as fast as a bolt of lightning.
Seeing that "Zeng Wei" was so guilty, the sword slave completely believed the messenger's statement and could not let him slip away from his eyes, so he immediately took action to stop him. He aimed at the direction of the cave entrance, bent down and stretched out
He slapped the sword box on his back with both hands, and more than twenty swords of various sizes flew out from it, forming a silver dragon and rushing forward.
Zeng Hui is fast, these swords are even faster!
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty swords struck behind Zeng Hui, stabbing him to the core.
Zeng Hui's body was like a red kite with its string broken, and he landed on the stone steps with a thud, only a few steps away from the entrance of the cave. In fact, even if the sword slave did not kill him, he would still be killed after flying out of the cave entrance.
Trapped by the Galaxy Sword Formation, it is still difficult to fly.
The sword slave flipped his fingers, using the internal force in mid-air to adjust the flight trajectories of more than twenty swords. These swords flew three times in the mid-air of the sword tomb, gradually slowing down, and then flew back to the sword one after another.
In the box, it is like a flying swallow returning to its nest.
All this happened so quickly that many of the challengers were dumbfounded. In just a short time, a big living person died under the sword slave's random swords and became a corpse.
