The 131st round of the first round of competition (middle)
Tie Yinhua walked in front carrying the sword box on his back, and Zhao Zheng walked slowly behind.
Zhao Zheng did not rush forward. It was not the time to fight now. It would not be too late to fight when he got to the ring.
He passed by several beaters sitting on chairs, and different auras and pressures came from these people.
Zheng Wuji, Kong Yunjie, Bai Feiyu, Xiao Jiuge and other four people have the most aggressive auras. When passing by them, it is like walking through a dense forest of swords.
The four people ignored Zhao Zheng. They didn't pay much attention to Zhao Zheng at all.
On the contrary, Jiang Ming and Zhao Zheng winked, which was regarded as friendly encouragement.
Qian Wanjin also kept staring at Zhao Zheng, with a half-smile expression on his round face. He moved his lips slightly and said through the voice: "Don't forget our previous bet. If you fall down, you can
You have to give me one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Zhao Zheng did not reply. Compared with the competition in front of him, Qian Wanjin's bet was not worth mentioning at all, let alone being distracted by it.
On the arena, Tie Xuanfeng announced the start of the third arena in public and named Zhao Zheng and Tie Yinhua.
When Zhao Zheng's name was mentioned, there was no reaction from the three arenas because no one had heard of this name. When Tie Yinhua's name was mentioned, it actually caused a small discussion.
Iron Prison Judge Tie Yinhua.
This series of nicknames and names have made him somewhat famous. Many people know that Tie Yinhua is the grandson of Tie Xuanfeng, and many people also know that Tie Yinhua is good at making swords and arranging sword formations.
The sword formation is like an iron prison and can take lives, hence the nickname "Iron Prison Judge".
The name is like the person, and so is the nickname.
People who can be nicknamed "Judge" have a murderous streak in them.
Tie Yinhua had killed people before, and the swords in the sword box were all stained with blood.
His swords are all forged by himself, and he likes to use the swords he forged. This time he competes for Zichu Sword. This is the only time in his life that he makes an exception. He believes that swords forged by himself, or swords taken by himself, are considered
A sword of your own.
The grandson's participation in the ring to compete for the sword forged by his second grandfather may seem unnecessary, but Tie Yinhua has no choice. If he does not obtain the approval of Zichu Sword in the ring, no one can use this sword.
Not to mention Tie Yinhua, not even Zheng Wuji.
The distance between the stands and the ring is not long, and the two fighters walked there one after another.
Tie Yinhua stood up from the ground, turned somersault, and landed firmly on the edge of the ring. He straightened up and looked at his grandfather on the ring.
Tie Xuanfeng was an upright man. He had no intention of protecting his grandson at all. Except for appointing his grandson as the challenger in advance, he never gave him any preferential treatment. He said calmly to his grandson: "Fight well, winning or losing is secondary."
Yes, but you can’t embarrass the Tie family.”
"When have I ever embarrassed you?" Tie Yinhua's tone was calm, but there was a sense of confidence.
Tie Xuanfeng nodded. His grandson had indeed never let him down. Whether it was in terms of sword making or swordsmanship.
Zhao Zheng walked to the edge of the ring, tiptoed the ground, and landed lightly on the stage without making a single sound, and his movements seemed very casual. His free and easy movements revealed his profound skills and strength, but most people
Didn't pay much attention to this detail.
Tie Xuanfeng turned to look at Zhao Zheng and promised: "Young Master Zhao, the opponent you face today is my grandson. In the competition, you don't have to be merciful, and I will never favor my grandson. Today's competition is fair.
of."
"Thank you, Master, for your help." Zhao Zheng said calmly. He knew early on that Tie Xuanfeng would not play tricks for his grandson, so he never worried about it.
"Okay, let's get started." Tie Xuanfeng raised the red flag, waved it down, and jumped out of the ring.
The red flag falls and the competition begins.
"I'm sorry!" Tie Yinhua shouted and launched an attack first. He turned his hands behind his back and slammed the sword box hard, touching the mechanism buttons on both sides. The cover on the sword box opened with a bang, and he was ejected from it.
More than ten swords flew into the air driven by the mechanism.
Tie Yinhua pointed his toes to the ground, jumped up, grabbed the hilt of the sword that had flown into the air, and threw it to the ground with all his strength. He used a clever force when swinging it, and it was obvious that he was swinging the sword diagonally, but when the sword fell to the ground
, but it was stuck vertically on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Tie Yinhua had inserted six swords on the ground and laid out the outline of the Plum Blossom Sword Formation.
Zhao Zheng knew very well how powerful the Plum Blossom Sword Formation was, how could he make Tie Yinhua achieve his wish, so he immediately stepped forward and pulled out the Tiger Roaring Sword.
When the sword was unsheathed, it made a roaring sound like a tiger descending from a mountain.
Zhao Zheng tapped the ground with his toes, flew up, and made a sword move toward Tie Yinhua's chest, thrusting out a sharp golden sword energy.
The sword body of the Tiger Roaring Sword divided the sword energy into seven, seven sword energy rushed forward together, and the remaining six flew away from both sides. The sword energy flying in front was the most powerful, and it actually flew more than two feet, and drew a
It formed a curved arc that was elusive.
The sword energy is as sharp as the sword edge!
Tie Yinhua's eyes widened, and he kicked the seventh sword to the ground, further perfecting the plum blossom sword formation. At the same time, he pulled out a middle-grade sword stuck in his waist, and blocked the tiger's roaring sword from attacking.
The sword spirit.
The sword body collided with the sword energy, making a crisp sound, and the golden sword energy exploded in all directions.
Tie Yinhua's wrist shook three times, and the tiger's mouth was in severe pain. She was shocked in her heart: "The sword energy he thrust out was fast and fierce. It is much harder to deal with than I thought. It seems that we cannot underestimate him."
.”
Zhao Zheng's first sword failed to work, and then he thrust out a second sword. This sword was another exquisite move in Maha Swordsmanship, called "Da Jiangdong Go". When performing it, he stepped on the opponent's side with one foot and turned sideways.
Shake out the sword body and thrust out a continuous stream of sword energy, just like the surging river water.
The golden sword energy formed a wave of waves, each wave was extremely sharp, and anyone who touched it would be cut.
An expert will know if it is there as soon as he takes action.
Such a powerful, abundant, and sharp sword energy is not something that ordinary fifth-level heavenly warriors can unleash. It is already close to the strength of a sixth-level heavenly warrior.
Many spectators in the stands widened their eyes, feeling that this competition might be more exciting than imagined.
Tie Yinhua swung her sword to resist. She first blocked three sword qi with the sword in her hand, then grabbed a falling sword from the air and blocked the other two sword qi. Finally, she took the time to kick a sword away and insert it into it.
the ground beneath my feet.
As the river moves eastward, the first wave of sword energy has already dispersed.
Tie Yinhua has also fallen. He stepped on the hilt of the sword that was just inserted into the ring. His whole body was as steady as a javelin.
The rest of the swords also fell, but they failed to penetrate into the ground, and instead clinked and scattered on the ground.
Only one-third of the plum blossom sword formation has been set up, and most of it has not yet been set up. The sword formation is still unable to exert much power.
This situation was not beyond Tie Yinhua's expectation. When he fought with others in the past, no one was willing to let him easily set up the sword formation, which would always cause him some trouble. In previous battles, he has learned
There are ways to solve these troubles.
Tie Yinhua touched the hilt of the sword with her feet and rushed forward. She thrust out the two swords in her hands and touched Zhao Zheng's left and right cheeks respectively.
Zhao Zheng used up the river and headed east. He took advantage of the situation and changed his moves. He used his moves to split Huashan Mountain and swung his sword to cut off the head. A golden sword energy came out of the sword, flew between Tie Yinhua's swords and went straight to Tie Yinhua.
Zhao Zheng's sword energy was much longer than Tie Yinhua's sword energy. If Tie Yinhua continued to pounce forward, he would be the first to be hit by the sword and be split in half.
One inch longer, one inch stronger, the sword energy is longer than the opponent, but it is very advantageous.
Tie Yinhua didn't want to be split in half, so he had to spread out sideways, interrupting the original move. He landed very cleverly. He landed on a sword lying on the ground, raised his feet, and the sword came like a carp.
He stood up and inserted it into the ring. This is the ninth sword.
Zhao Zheng missed the target with his sword, took a big step forward, rushed ten feet away in front of Tie Yinhua, and used his signature killing move, Overlord Chang Tu. He slashed at Tie Yinhua with one sword faster than the other, and the move was wide open.
Great combination, very majestic.
The same moves were used today, but they were completely different from those in the past.
Due to the improvement of his realm, and the Dongfang Chu Gang Zhao Zheng temporarily opening up the meridians, the size of the internal force and the speed of its operation have been greatly increased. With this sword swing, he will cut out a golden sword energy.
, the combination of several swords makes the whole body surrounded by sword energy, which is unrivaled!
The golden sword energy struck the ground one after another, leaving sharp and deep dents. In the blink of an eye, the ground around Zhao Zheng was filled with ravines.
Tie Yinhua bravely resisted, dancing the two swords in his hands into the wind, guarding the door tightly, and barely resisted the golden sword energy. Hot sweat broke out on his nose and temples, and the sweat fell into his eyes.
Not daring to blink, he tried his best to catch Zhao Zheng's every move. He found that Zhao Zheng's moves were fierce yet clever, and he had never seen them before, and he didn't know what sect he was from, so it was very difficult to deal with them.
Every time he resisted a sword, Tie Yinhua took a step back. He had taken thirteen steps in a row. During the process of retreating, he deliberately retreated to a "position" and inserted the sword in his left hand into the ground.
The Plum Blossom Sword Formation, with its ten swords, has begun to take shape and can exert some power.
Tie Yinhua spun the only sword in her hand, swaying away the two sword qi slashed by Zhao Zheng, then stepped on the sword that had just been inserted into the ground, and rushed forward.
Zhao Zheng's Tyrant Chang Tu was already old, so he withdrew the Tiger Roaring Sword, tapped his toes on the ground, and moved forward to meet him. He changed to a light and agile route and used White Horse Gap! He had just learned the Pegasus Sword Technique from Wang Chao not long ago.
The rest of the moves have been integrated into the White Horse Crossing the Gap move, which makes this move much richer, the moves are more fluid and changeable, and the power is incomparable.
The two met head-on and passed by each other. The sword energy swirled around their bodies and the collision made a crisp sound.
The two fell to the ground.
Zhao Zheng landed in front of a sword stuck on the ground. He easily reached out his hand, grabbed the hilt of the sword, secretly used his inner strength, pulled it out, and threw it far away.
One of the ten swords is missing, and the Plum Blossom Sword Formation becomes even more incomplete.
Tie Yinhua staggered forward a few steps, blood dripping from her body.
Blood spots bloomed on the ground, like plum blossoms.
Tie Yinhua glanced at the wounds on his body, one on his right chest and one on his right arm. If his body hadn't been strong, these two swords would have cut off his bones. His heart sank, and he felt the connection between himself and Zhao.
There was a huge gap in Zheng's strength. Just now, he had wanted to avoid Zhao Zheng, frustrate Zhao Zheng's energy, and further improve the sword formation, but he was hit hard by Zhao Zheng.
The Iron Prison Judge cannot build an iron prison today, let alone be a judge.
Some people were as surprised as Tie Yinhua, and they all looked at Zhao Zheng on the stage with wide eyes, their expressions were extremely funny.
Tie Xuanfeng originally thought that his grandson could win, but he did not expect that his grandson would be at a disadvantage and be suppressed by an unknown boy. While he was worried about his grandson's safety, he also became somewhat interested in Zhao Zheng.
"Yinhua kid kicked a hard iron plate today, I'm afraid he's going to be in bad luck." Sword Slave sat in the east stand, holding his chin with his hand, and said with a smile.
"Who is that young man named Zhao Zheng? Why have I never heard of him before?" Tie Xuanfeng asked calmly.
"I don't know much about it, I just know that this kid is a bit cunning and has some real skills, so he is not an ordinary person. A few days ago, I set up a sword formation at Luoshu Villa. Zhao Zheng was worried that he would not be able to get through, so he once bribed me with fine wine. Later, I
When he actually broke into the formation, he actually broke through without much effort and went through smoothly."
"So something like this has happened before." Tie Xuanfeng nodded, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.
The four old men from the south next to them each interjected, pointing out Zhao Zheng's moves and giving high praise. These four masters from Nanfang Province were already considered top martial artists, but they still couldn't tell Zhao Zheng's moves.
Regarding the swordsmanship used by Zheng, I feel that Zhao Zheng’s swordsmanship has too many swordsmanship mixed into it, and it’s a bit like a hodgepodge. It’s also a bit like a self-created swordsmanship.
There are two other people who are as worried as Tie Xuanfeng. These two people are Lu Youfa and Qian Wanjin.
If Zhao Zheng wins, these two people will lose a lot of money, one will lose 90,000 taels, and the other will lose 100,000 taels. These are not small amounts of money, with the heart and the body!
In contrast, Lu Youfa's mentality is slightly better. He is an old banker and has played much bigger gambling games. Even if he loses his underwear, he will not frown.
But Qian Wanjin was not so calm. It was not that he felt sorry for the money, but that he did not want to lose the bet.
No one likes to lose, especially money. He would rather spend an extra hundred thousand taels of silver in exchange for Zhao Zheng's failure. But even if he is willing to pay, he can't do it. In this world, there is still
There are many things that money cannot buy.
No matter what others think or say, the two people in the ring can't hear it, let alone don't want to hear it. They have no time to be distracted, and they are fully focused on their opponents.
Zhao Zheng turned around and faced the damaged Tie Yinhua, but was not in a hurry to attack again. He was 100% sure of this battle and there was no need to push Tie Yinhua too hard. After all, Tie Yinhua belonged to the Sword Making Villa.
Man, if Tie Yinhua loses so badly, it will bring shame to the Sword-making Villa. If he wants to get the sword produced by the Sword-making Villa, he will naturally have to save face for the other party.
When traveling in the world, the first thing you need to do is to learn to be a slick person, a shrewd person, and a duplicitous person.
Seeing that Zhao Zheng did not attack, Tie Yinhua raised his hand and tapped his shoulder twice, sealing the acupuncture points and slowing down the bleeding. He raised his hand and patted the sword box, triggering the mechanism, causing three more swords to pop out.
He grabbed one of the handles and thrust it into the ground.
No matter whether he wins or loses, he will deliberately step on the "position" every time he sets foot in order to arrange the sword formation. This is a good habit developed over many years.
He turned his head and glared at Zhao Zheng fiercely, like an angry beast.
He was indeed angry. This competition was related to the face of Zhujian Villa. If he lost, how could he face the people in the Villa?
It would be fine if he lost to a challenger of Zheng Wuji's level, but it would be really embarrassing if he lost to an unknown person like Zhao Zheng.
For him, this battle is a success or failure!
"Take the move!" Tie Yinhua's eyes flashed, her eyebrows flew sideways, she kicked the sword forward, and stabbed Zhao Zheng with the sword, going straight to his throat.
Zhao Zheng saw that Tie Yinhua was angry, but he was not afraid at all. He calmly avoided Tie Yinhua's sharp edge and adopted a fighting tactic, not seeking merit but seeking no fault.
Tie Yinhua left the air with his sword, changed his moves when he landed on the ground, inserted a sword on the ground, and turned around to attack again. His offensive was much more fierce than before, and his moves were extremely fierce, and every move rushed towards Zhao Zheng
He only attacked and did not defend, and used a desperate fighting style, as if Zhao was his bloody enemy.
Zhao Zheng frowned slightly, increased the sensitivity of his five senses, and avoided Tie Yinhua's every move. He felt that he had cornered Tie Yinhua, and it would be inappropriate to defeat Tie Yinhua at this time. In order to preserve his life,
In order to save Tie Yinhua and Zhujian Villa's reputation, he deliberately let his men down and no longer stepped up the counterattack, but instead blindly defended and evaded.
On the surface, it looked like Tie Yinhua had turned the tide of the battle, but in fact it was not the case. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhao was holding back.
During the attack, Tie Yinhua constantly picked up the swords on the ground, or pulled out the swords in the sword box. She inserted them into the "position" one by one, greatly completing the plum blossom sword formation.
Confused by the authorities, Tie Yinhua did not notice that Zhao Zheng intended to give in, and thought that she had defeated Zhao Zheng after working hard, and was secretly happy in her heart.
The person who was equally happy still had tens of thousands of gold, and he thought that the money in his pocket was saved.
Tie Yinhua chased and fought for more than 30 moves, and finally laid out a complete plum blossom sword formation. His confidence increased sharply. Feeling that he had a chance to win, he stepped on the edge of the sword formation, preparing to trap him in the center of the sword formation.
Zhao Zheng was defeated.
Zhao Zheng looked around and saw that the sword array had been set up, and he had reorganized his abundant internal energy. His internal energy was like a wild horse running wildly through his wide meridians.
He has asked Tie Yinhua to set up the sword formation and given Tie Yinhua and the Sword Forging Villa enough face. It is time to win this competition.
The Plum Blossom Sword Formation still had a certain deterrent effect on him. In order to win more easily, he flew to the center of the sword formation, which was the weakest point in the entire sword formation. He stood there firmly and raised his head to the tiger's roar.
Sword. Waiting for Tie Yinhua to come up and lead the defeat.
Tie Yinhua's expression suddenly changed when she saw Zhao Zheng walking straight to the center of the Plum Blossom Sword Formation, as if he knew the sword formation very well.
He recalled Zhao Zheng's sharpness in the fight just now and his avoidance in the middle of the fight. Combined with the scene in front of him, his mind suddenly became clear and he understood that Zhao Zheng had intended to give in to the opponent rather than changing the situation of the battle himself.
At the same time, he further felt Zhao Zheng's bottomless strength!
Zhao Zheng has abundant internal strength, amazing swordsmanship, rich experience in fighting enemies, is neither arrogant nor impetuous when fighting, and he also knows some secrets of formations. He is really terrifying.
Knowing that she was defeated, Tie Yinhua was immediately discouraged and lost her anger and fighting spirit.
This battle is unwinnable. If that's the case, then it's better to leave your life on the stage and give the villa an explanation.
Tie Yinhua crossed the sword in her hand and slashed towards the neck with the sword, preparing to kill herself with the sword.
"No!" Tie Xuanfeng saw clearly and immediately rushed to stop his grandson, but at this distance, he had no time to save him.
Fortunately, there were four otherworldly experts sitting nearby. Among them, the three-foot Wuying Old Man, who was always known for his fast speed, took action at the critical moment and jumped onto the ring. He held Tie Yinhua's sword with one hand and held Tie Yinhua down with the other.
shoulder, forcing Tie Yinhua to sit on the ring.
No one could clearly see the movements of the three-foot shadowless old man. This short old man suddenly appeared on the ring and caught everyone's eyes.
When a warrior's speed reaches a certain level, his speed will become indescribable, let alone capture.
"Silly boy, victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs. Losing doesn't matter. Why seek life and death?" The three-foot shadowless old man smiled, snatched the sword from Tie Yinhua's hand, and threw it to the ground.
"I have shamed Zhujian Villa. How can I stand between heaven and earth?" Tie Yinhua gritted his teeth.
"If everyone thinks like you, there won't be many people left in the world." The old man patted Tie Yinhua on the shoulder and turned around, "Master Tie Yinhua, why don't you come over and enlighten your precious grandson? Others
As an old man, I can’t take care of our children well.”
Tie Xuanfeng jumped onto the ring and bowed to the three-foot-long shadowless old man to thank him. The latter didn't care, waved his hand and returned to the stands.
Tie Yinhua stood up, walked to her grandfather with her head lowered, and said dejectedly: "Grandpa, I have embarrassed the villa."
"Don't take it to heart. You didn't embarrass the Villa. The reason why you lost today was not because you were too weak, but because the opponent was too strong. When you encounter such an opponent, it is inevitable that you will lose.
, I won’t blame you, and you don’t have to blame yourself too much, let alone commit suicide.” Tie Xuanfeng explained.
"Yes, I will not commit suicide in the future. I will practice hard behind closed doors and practice martial arts well so as not to lose to others in the future." Tie Yinhua has calmed down and lost the idea of committing suicide.
Tie Xuanfeng explained a few more words to his grandson, and ordered someone to take him down.
Only Zhao Zheng and Tie Xuanfeng were left in the arena.
Tie Xuanfeng looked at Zhao Zheng again, nodded in approval and said: "You are very strong, far better than my silly grandson. It seems that there is another variable in this arena competition. Who will win the Zichu sword?"
Home is still unknown.”
"Senior, you are ridiculous. My victory just now was just a fluke. I am a master at making swords at the Sword Forging Villa, and my swordsmanship is also very good." Zhao Zheng said modestly.
"There is no need to be modest. Your strength is obvious to everyone. You can't fake it if it's true, and it can't be true if it's false." Tie Xuanfeng praised Zhao Zheng a few more words, and then publicly announced that Zhao Zheng had won and advanced to the next round of competition.
Zhao Zheng felt that he had taken another step closer to Chujian, and glanced sideways at Zichujian, which was stuck on the Panlong Stone Tower.
Zichu's sword reflected the sun above his head, making it look dazzling. The light spot was like an eye, and it seemed to be looking at Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zhengxian was more confident in the next game. He jumped off the ring with his head held high and returned to the east stand.
When everyone saw that Zhao Zheng was so powerful and actually defeated the famous Iron Prison Judge, and even forced the opponent to almost commit suicide with his sword, they couldn't help but look at Zhao Zheng again and remembered the simple name Zhao Zheng in their hearts.
The expressions of all living beings fell into Zhao Zheng's eyes, and all kinds of praises fell into Zhao Zheng's ears. This feeling of being looked down upon by others is still very satisfying.
"No wonder many people in this world are chasing fame and fortune. The word fame and fortune is really fascinating." Zhao Zheng sighed in his heart and walked onto the east stand.
When passing by Qian Wanjin, Zhao Zheng stopped and said with a smile: "When the competition is over, remember to send one hundred thousand taels of silver to me. Not a penny less."
Qian Wanjin's already ugly face became even more ugly, like a ball of pig liver.
Chu Tian and Jiang Ming knew Zhao Zheng, and each stood up to thank Zhao Zheng. After the competition just now, they saw Zhao Zheng's hidden strength clearly, and felt that they were not as good as Zhao Zheng. They looked at Zhao Zheng and their eyes changed greatly.
Especially Jiang Ming, he clearly remembered that Zhao Zheng was only a fourth-level heavenly martial artist, but he did not expect that he would now become a fifth-level heavenly warrior. His progress was too fast, beyond his expectation.
Zhao Zheng said a few polite words to his two friends and sat back in his original seat. He was not injured just now and did not need any medical treatment. He could continue to stay and watch the competition. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger of a hundred battles, so you can watch more of these contestants.
