After Zhao Zheng handed over the signature, he looked at the white paper on the table and saw that the accountant wrote his name next to a person named Tie Yinhua and drew a small sword pattern on the side. // High-speed update
//When he saw this name, he gasped slightly and frowned.
Tie Yinhua, with a flower character in her name, is not a woman, but an out-and-out man. This person is a very difficult opponent. Although he is not as good as Kong Yunjie and several other leaders, he only has the fifth level of cultivation, but among many
Among the challengers, he can also be ranked in the middle and upper reaches. It will be very difficult to defeat this person. Tie Yinhua is the grandson of Tie Xuanfeng, the owner of Sword Making Villa. He has received the true inheritance of the Tie family and is good at making swords.
He is good at using swords and can also use them to form sword formations.
The sword slave only issued twenty-three tokens, and claimed that there was already a challenger in the villa, and this person was Tie Yinhua.
Zhao Zheng turned around, looked at Tie Yinhua not far away, and took a good look at this person.
Tie Yinhua is in his early twenties and looks very tough. He is wearing a short-sleeved brown suit, revealing a pair of thick arms. His facial features are somewhat similar to his grandfather Tie Xuanfeng, with a pair of eyebrows slanting to both sides.
He looked very majestic. Behind his back, he carried a huge sword box. The style of the sword box was very similar to that carried by the sword slave. There must be many swords in it.
The swords in the sword box are all made by Tie Yinhua himself, and the sword body is dripping with his sweat and full of his hard work. He loves making swords and also likes to use swords. He is a little sword fanatic. The extent of his obsession is only
Second to Sword Slave.
"It's okay. I guess I won the lottery." Zhao Zheng muttered secretly in his heart.
Drawing Kong Yunjie and others is considered a lottery, winning Little Soul Boy and others is considered winning the lottery, and winning Tie Yinhua can only be regarded as winning the lottery, neither good nor bad.
Tie Yinhua glanced at the list on the table, then raised her head and looked at Zhao Zheng. Their eyes met and they competed with each other, revealing an overbearing hostility.
"Tomorrow when the official competition begins, please give me some advice from Shao Xia Zhao." Tie Yinhua clasped her fists and said calmly.
"Each other, each other." Zhao Zheng returned the greeting.
Not only this pair of challengers, but the other challengers are also sizing up their enemies tomorrow.
Kong Yunjie met a strong rival, Xiao Jiuge.
The "mandarin duck" in Tieniu's hand is matched with thousands of dollars.
Mo Yunzi's opponent is Kuai Jian. Xin Ling.
Chutian’s opponent is Hanguang Beyond the Great Wall. Sukhbalu.
Jiang Ming was unlucky and met an extremely powerful enemy, Mr. Ling Feng. Bai Feiyu.
The little soul boy met the Tin Man.
Two women, Little Butterfly, An Xin and Life-Suing Fairy, Fang Junru, happened to get together.
Zi Buyu. Yun Qianhe’s opponent is the unknown junior Wang Duo.
Another little-known female swordsman Tang Yubing met a short dwarf named "Gong Lei Gao Kuan". The contrast between beauty and ugliness was huge.
Twenty people, ten duels, the list of candidates has been finalized, and the winners will be determined after the arena is held tomorrow!
Everyone looked at their opponents, some were happy and some were worried. The most unlucky person among them was Jiang Ming, the Master Ling Feng he met. Bai Feiyu is a sixth-level heavenly martial artist with extremely strong strength. He faced this
Human beings have almost no chance of winning.
"Very good. Everyone has their own opponents. I hope you can exert your best strength tomorrow and avoid any casualties. Next, it is time to hold the sword invitation ceremony. You come with me." Tie Xuanfeng
With a wave of his hand, he took the lead and walked outside the house.
Whether everyone was satisfied or depressed, they could only temporarily suppress their emotions and follow Tie Xuanfeng.
Just when everyone was about to leave, a strong man who was good at martial arts ran in like a storm, landed in front of Tie Xuanfeng with a single step, knelt down on one knee and said: "Report to the owner of the village, the sword master who is one of the challengers.
His son, Zheng Wuji, came to our village and asked to see him!"
The news was like a thunder that exploded in the house, and everyone was taken by surprise.
Zheng Wuji's reputation is really great. Most of his reputation is due to his father, and the other half is due to his own creation. Rumor has it that he once defeated a seventh-level warrior named Luo Kun with his mountain-splitting sword.
, completely surpassing a realm of cultivation. Not even Kong Yunjie has ever had such a record.
Among the many contestants, Zheng Wuji is recognized as the favorite to win. The odds are the lowest in the casino. Even if you bet on him, you won't make much money.
Almost all the contestants were afraid of meeting Zheng Wuji. When they learned that Zheng Wuji did not come, many people secretly rejoiced. In their opinion, as long as Zheng Wuji did not come, they still had hope of winning.
.
But now that Zheng Wuji is here again, the hope of others winning is slim.
All kinds of disappointment are written on the faces of many players.
On the contrary, Tie Xuanfeng and Jiannu were very happy to hear the news. Zheng Wuji is a young hero, a genius among geniuses. If Zichu Sword can fall into his hands, it will suit the needs of the two brothers.
mind.
"Invite Zheng Wuji here quickly to speak." Tie Xuanfeng said happily.
"Yes!" The strong man shouted, stood up and left, his feet flying like flying.
The arrival of Zheng Wuji interrupted these people's original plans. Everyone was stranded in the hall, waiting for Zheng Wuji's arrival.
The beaters were talking and laughing just now, but now they all stopped talking, and many of them felt secretly dissatisfied.
Zheng Wuji failed to come to the ring as scheduled and missed the draw. However, he still received such courtesy and was not disqualified. This is somewhat unfair. If it were an ordinary contestant who was late, he would not be disqualified.
You will never receive such treatment, and 80% of the time you will be disqualified.
Zhao Zheng's mentality was not greatly affected. He had known for a long time that Zheng Wuji would definitely come and would not break the appointment. Zheng Wuji had never been excluded from his list of contestants.
After about a stick of incense, Zheng Wuji finally arrived. Under the gaze of everyone, he walked into the hall. His clothes were as white as snow, and his robes were fluttering, making him look otherworldly. In addition, he wore a
The sword is also white, with a few plum blossoms dotted on it. The embellishment of the plum blossoms gives the sword a bit of a cold winter feel.
Zheng Wuji is not very old, only in his early twenties. He has a proud and heroic appearance, a pair of sword eyebrows slanting into his hairline, a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and a cheek that looks like it was sharpened by a sword. The whole thing gives people a sharp and difficult look.
The feeling of closeness. His sword is sharp, and so are his people!
No matter how many eyes were staring at him, Zheng Wuji always looked straight ahead and locked his eyes on Tie Xuanfeng standing in the center as quickly as possible. He walked over and greeted him: "Junior Zheng Wuji, pay your respects to the owner of the village.
, pay my respects to all the seniors. I was delayed a little bit due to my cultivation, so I came a step late. I hope all the seniors will forgive me."
The sound was sonorous and powerful, like the sound of swords clashing.
Not to mention the competition with real swords and guns, even in ordinary times, Zheng Wuji also showed an extraordinary temperament that ordinary people could not compare with.
"No courtesy, no courtesy, stand up straight and let the owner of this village take a good look at you." Tie Xuanfeng twisted his gray beard with his hand and said with a smile.
"Yes." Zheng Wuji straightened his back, and his spotless white clothes moved with the wind, shaking into broken waves.
Tie Xuanfeng looked Zheng Wuji up and down, nodded and praised: "If I remember correctly, the last time I met you should have been three years ago. At that time, your father took you to Bizhuang and asked for help.
I have taken away the 'Auspicious Snow Sword' hanging on your waist. I haven't seen you for three years. You have grown a lot taller and become more energetic. It is really gratifying. I forged your Auspicious Snow Sword and have been using it for the past few years.
It’s pretty smooth, right?”
"Reporting to the owner of the village, this sword has never failed since you followed me. It is very handy. Thank you for your hard work and working day and night to forge such a useful and high-grade sword for me." Zheng Wuji replied.
Hearing this, Tieniu next to him murmured in a low voice: "He obviously has a high-grade sword, why did he come into this muddy water?"
The sword slave raised his eyebrows, glared at Tieniu fiercely, and scolded through the voice: "Tieniu, shut your mouth, don't say anything more."
Tieniu shrank his neck in fear and covered his big mouth.
Although Tieniu's words were rash, they spoke to the sentiments of many people.
Many people think that people who have high-grade swords should not come to snatch the Zichu Sword from them. This would not give people a way to survive. Moreover, after having a high-grade sword, their strength will undoubtedly be greatly improved, making them already very strong.
Zheng Wuji became even more terrifying.
In fact, the Sword Forging Villa has also considered creating a batch of special swords for fighting and competition, so that everyone can use such swords. However, considering that swordsmen will have trouble using unfamiliar swords and will not be able to exert their full strength, it was overturned.
This idea was changed to allow the challengers to carry their own swords.
Carrying your own swords also leads to uneven swords. Some people use poor swords, while others use good swords. Among the challengers, only Zheng Wuji and Kong Yunjie have top-grade swords, and the rest have high-grade swords.
Most people own only middle-to-low-grade swords, and some even use inferior swords, such as the big iron club that Tien Niu carries on his back...
Zheng Wuji glanced at Tieniu indifferently and explained: "It's true that I have a high-grade sword. Everyone has a love for cute swords. Who doesn't want to have a few more high-grade swords in his hands. I heard that Senior Sword Slave cast it
The quality of the Zichu sword that came out was very high, it was the best among the top-grade swords, even close to the top-grade swords, so I had a longing for it and wanted to make it my own. Moreover, this arena competition gathered many up-and-comers who use swords.
, as the son of the Sword Master, how can I miss it."
Tieniu originally wanted to say a few words to Zheng Wuji, but due to the warning from the sword slave, he could only close his mouth in a dull voice and whine a few times.
Tie Xuanfeng took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Wuji, you are a good swordsman among the younger generation. Sword Forging Villa welcomes you to participate in this arena match. Your arrival will definitely make this arena match a better one."
It must be more exciting."
"I will definitely live up to the expectations of my seniors and perform well in the ring." Zheng Wuji withdrew his gaze and looked at Tie Xuanfeng again.
"It's true that a tiger's father has no dog's son. Your father is a swordsman, and you are just as good. You are worthy of the title of genius swordsman."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Zheng Wuji said, neither humble nor overbearing.
The sword slave scratched his chin, remembered something, and interjected: "It's a great joy for you to come, but these group of challengers have just finished drawing the tickets and decided on the candidates. After you come,
The number of contestants is an odd number, and no one can form a pair with you."
"Senior Jian Nu, this matter can be easily solved." Before Zheng Wuji could say anything, Kong Yunjie, who was standing next to him, walked over proudly, greeted the village owner and senior Jian Nu, and then continued, "Since Zheng Shaoxia has no opponent
, just let me be his opponent! The two of us are of equal strength, so we are the most suitable pair. As for my previous opponent, Xiao Shaoxia, just give him a bye and win directly."
When Zheng Wuji heard that Kong Yunjie called his name to compete with him, he glanced at Kong Yunjie, his eyes slightly narrowed, and there was a hint of coldness in his mouth.
Another person in the crowd also cast a hostile look at Kong Yunjie, that person was the jade-faced Little King of Hell, Xiao Jiuge!
Xiao Jiuge also has the sixth level of cultivation, not inferior to Kong Yunjie and others, and has a ruthless temperament. He will hit people with a glare and kill with his hands, so he is nicknamed the Little King of Hell with a Jade Face. His father is the boss of a cottage.
The leader of the village is a member of the evil sect. He has committed many major cases that have shocked the world. Among the many people who have been beaten, he is the only one who comes from a notorious evil sect family. If his father had not followed him to protect him,
, someone must be against him.
Kong Yunjie named him to compete with Zheng Wuji, and wanted to put Xiao Jiuge aside. Obviously, he didn't take Xiao Jiuge seriously.
Xiao Jiuge was certainly not happy when he heard this. If it weren't for the presence of Tie Xuanfeng and others, he would have jumped up and used force with Kong Yunjie.
Seeing that the juniors were all tense, Tie Xuanfeng said with a smile: "Haha, you are so determined to forge ahead, which is worthy of praise, but the list cannot be changed easily. If everyone is clamoring to follow Wuji
Wouldn't it be a mess to fight against each other? The contestants and lists remain the same, who should you compete with, and who should you compete with. As for Zheng Wuji, just let him get a small advantage. He will get a bye in the first game, so there is no need to fight with others.
, wait until the second competition to join in."
Kong Yunjie was a little unwilling to give up, but he couldn't make a mistake in front of Tie Xuanfeng, so he had to respond and retreat.
Xiao Jiuge was very dissatisfied with Kong Yunjie's actions just now, and said through a message: "Boy, stop looking at people through the cracks in the door. My strength is by no means worse than Zheng Wuji. Let's see how I deal with you in the first competition."
Kong Yunjie turned around and glared at Xiao Jiuge, not to be outdone and said: "It's not clear who will deal with who. Before I start with Zheng Wuji, I'll let you stretch your muscles first."
The two men were at odds with each other and had many private confrontations, neither of them convinced the other.
Zheng Wuji had a bye and did not have to participate in the first competition. If it were someone else who encountered such a good thing, he would secretly be happy, but Zheng Wuji did not want to take advantage of it. He said: "I came a step late and violated the law."
I have violated the rules of this arena match. This has already been a big mistake. How dare you take advantage of me? I hope the owner of the village will take back his life and arrange another seventh-level heavenly warrior for me as my opponent. No matter who this person is, it will be fine.
.If I can defeat the Seventh Level Heavenly Warrior, no one will blame me for being a step late."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
There is no seventh-level heavenly martial artist among the challengers. Zheng Wuji's implication is to select someone from among the challengers to compete with him, and rely on this method to block everyone's mouth. If he how
If you can do this and defeat the seventh-level heavenly warrior, others will have nothing to say.
Zheng Wuji had a precedent of defeating the Seventh Heavenly Warrior before. When he said this, he was not bragging, but he had considerable confidence.
"You are extremely brave and your courage is commendable, but your proposal does not comply with the rules of the arena competition, so forget it. Besides, with your reputation and ability, you don't need to prove anything at all, as long as you wait for the second game honestly
Just take part in the competition." Tie Xuanfeng said with a smile.
"Brother, this kid's suggestion is not unreasonable. If he is late and can directly participate in the second competition, other contestants will definitely complain about it. In my opinion, it is better to follow this guy Wuji's suggestion and find someone
A seventh-level warrior has fought with him, but he doesn't have to win, as long as he can show his own strength." The sword slave interjected from the side.
"This..." Tie Xuanfeng twirled his beard and hesitated a little. He is a rather rigid person and likes to do things according to the rules.
"This and that, that's it. As for the seventh-level heavenly martial artist, there's no need to find anyone else. I, the old bad guy, will take the initiative. I'll meet this kid myself and see what real skills he has.
"The sword slave decided.
"Okay, then when it comes to the competition, I'll ask my seniors for more advice." Zheng Wuji agreed.
When Tie Xuanfeng saw that his younger brother had spoken and Zheng Wuji agreed so readily, he stopped trying to stop him.
In this way, Zheng Wuji, who came late, was also listed as one of the candidates to participate in the competition tomorrow, and a strong opponent like Jian Slave was arranged.
After the matter was settled, Tie Xuanfeng led everyone to continue walking out and go to Cao Zhizi Chujian's sword application ceremony. He led everyone all the way to the arena in the square. After some construction, it has become quite large.
The arena is ten feet in diameter and is square in shape. It is made of stones and is covered with square bricks ground from special ores. The area of the arena is large enough, and it is sturdy and durable, so it is not afraid of being impacted. It is not far to the east of the arena.
, there is a stone platform placed on it. The stone platform is like a small minaret. The tower is engraved with a green dragon spiraling upward. The carving craftsmanship is lifelike and can be heard.
There is a slope-shaped stand on the north, east and south sides of the ring. The three stands together are enough to accommodate hundreds of people. The stands are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and are full of joy.
Most of the guests knew that the sword invitation ceremony was going to be held today, so they came here early and found their own seats to sit down.
Now that the arena competition has not officially begun, the area around this arena has already become very lively.
Tie Xuanfeng led the challengers along the stone steps onto the ring, which was about half a foot high, and stood in the center. He raised his fists towards the surroundings and said some polite words and greetings, all to welcome everyone.
After finishing speaking, he announced the official start of the sword invitation ceremony and let out a clear whistle in the air.
The roar was like spring thunder, reaching all the way to the sword tomb in the back mountain. (To be continued.
