The voice was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating. Everyone's eyes immediately followed the sound and found that the speaker was a handsome young man who was accompanying Xiao Yunyin.
This young man is none other than Zhao Zheng!
He had known that things would develop to this point, and had long been prepared to participate in the robbery. The Jingshen Grass could not only restore Xie Qingshu's memory, but also benefit him a lot, so he was determined to get it.
Although Zhao Zheng looks very young, only in his early twenties, no one dares to underestimate someone who can be by Xiao Yunyin's side. Moreover, several people in the room have already recognized Zhao Zheng's face.
As for his identity, he knew that Zhao Zheng was the owner of the Zichu Sword and was a leader among the younger generation. However, not everyone recognized Zhao Zheng. After all, only a small number of people had watched the arena.
The leader of the Green Gang looked at Zhao Zheng again and asked with a smile: "I wonder how many levels of cultivation this little brother has?"
"Sixth level of cultivation." Zhao Zheng replied calmly. Things like cultivation cannot be hidden at all. Before participating in the robbery, the leader of the Qing Gang and others will inevitably conduct some investigation, and during the official robbery, they will also
will be exposed naturally.
As soon as these words came out, the leader of the Green Gang was obviously stunned for a moment. He obviously did not expect that Zhao Zheng had reached such a state. He looked at Zhao Zheng with a new look and praised: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation of people in this world
Replace the old one. My little brother is worthy of being a member of the Taishan sect. He is not old, but his cultivation level is not low. With your cultivation level, you are indeed qualified to participate in the competition, and we have no reason to stop you."
"Thank you so much, Leader Qing Gang, and all the heroes, old and young, for making this happen." Zhao Zheng said without sadness or joy.
This was just a small disturbance, and everyone didn't take it too seriously. They quickly picked up the topic and continued to discuss the position of the robber.
When Zhao Zheng participated in this kind of robbery, he had to bear certain risks. By doing so, he was doing Xiao Yunyin a favor. The latter acknowledged Zhao Zheng's affection and thanked him through a message. Zhao Zheng did not take any credit or be arrogant.
, reacted very calmly, and observed the obviously unfair arrangement made by the Green Gang Leader and others.
It can be seen from the position that the warriors of the seventh and eighth heavens are arranged slightly forward, while the warriors of the tenth heaven are arranged extremely far back. This huge distance gap is not caused by cultivation alone.
Being high can make up for it. If it comes to taking action, the warriors of the seventh and eighth heavens will obviously have some advantages and can approach the Jingshen Grass as early as possible. But the warriors of the tenth heaven will be unlucky and have to use their force from a far away place.
, I'm afraid it will be a little slower.
This kind of snatching is actually a matter of a moment, and it will be over in a flash. A little advantage or disadvantage is enough to determine the outcome.
Since the leader of the Qing Gang and others did not pay too much attention to the warriors below the sixth heaven, they did not try to trip up Zhao Zheng. The position occupied by the sixth heaven warriors was quite fair and reasonable. In this way, it was given to Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng has some hope. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zheng will participate in this competition and compete with this group of martial arts masters for the only one Jingshen Grass.
Zhao Zheng could see the tricky positioning, and Xiao Yunyin could naturally see it too, but after weighing his own strength, he did not refute. This distance was still within the acceptable range for him. His nickname is "Wanli Wu"
"", it can be seen that he is very outstanding in Qinggong, even among the tenth-level Tianwu people, he is still a leader.
After agreeing on a rough position, today's discussion came to an end, and everyone left the wooden house and returned to their temporary residence.
Next, all that is left is to wait slowly.
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye, and soon it was time to officially snatch the Jingshen Grass. Under the careful protection of everyone, this magical grass has completely grown. Those strange leaf veins with blue light have already grown.
It extends completely to the tips of the leaves.
Seeing the Jingshen Grass growing up smoothly, the snatchers all felt a surge of fire in their hearts. This kind of spiritual grass has a great attraction for them. Once anyone is lucky enough to obtain this spiritual grass, they will be able to increase their own strength.
A big lift from the side.
As your five senses improve, your reactions will become faster. In this way, you will have an advantage whether it is dismantling moves or dodging attacks. This advantage is sometimes more important than an improvement in strength.
Everyone has been impatient for a long time, and in order to prevent things from happening later, they naturally have to start snatching the Jingshen Grass on the day it grows. The time for this snatching, after everyone's agreement, is set at noon. The time of snatching
, use the rocket as a signal, and as soon as you see burning arrows shooting into the sky, you can start to snatch it. During the snatching process, you can interfere with other people, but after someone grabs the Jingshen Grass,
, you cannot continue to take action and must stop immediately.
Before the robbery, senior figures such as Gang Leader Qing, Zhang Biaotou and Xiao Yunyin conducted an inspection on all the people participating in the robbery, used their internal strength to detect the level of each person's cultivation, and then determined the position where each person should stand.
.Then, everyone hurriedly demolished all the temporary wooden houses built around Jingshencao to prevent them from getting in the way.
When there was only a quarter of an hour left before the official start, everyone set off to their assigned positions, and Xiao Yunyin and Zhao Zheng were no exception.
Before leaving, Xiao Yunyin sent a message to Zhao Zheng: "Be more careful yourself and don't be too forced. Just leave this matter to me."
"Senior, don't worry, I have my own sense of caution. You should also be more careful. Those people are obviously planning something evil. Also, once we get the Jingshen Grass, it's best to leave here immediately and don't get into trouble.
I'll stay. When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, senior, to give me a ride." Zhao Zheng reminded.
"Well, no matter if you grab the Jingshen Grass or I grab the Jingshen Grass, I will take you out of here immediately. The Jingshen Grass withers easily, and I also want to get it to Qing Shu as soon as possible to help her
Take it." Xiao Yunyin nodded.
After the two spoke, they separated. One stood relatively close to the front, about fifteen feet away from the Jingshencao. In front of the stage, there were a few people standing ten feet away. Those people were five feet away.
Warriors with a high level of cultivation. As for warriors with lower cultivation levels, they do not exist. Warriors of that level are not qualified to participate in this robbery.
Next to Zhao Zheng, there were several other people standing. Like him, these people were all warriors with sixth-level cultivation, including people from the Shennong Gang and people from the Jintang Escort Bureau. The row of people he was standing in
Among them, he is undoubtedly the youngest, the rest are basically middle-aged people, and there are even old men.
Behind him, there were more people, with the largest number of people standing two to thirty feet away. The leader of the Qing Gang and others were all standing there. As for Xiao Yunyin, he was standing further away, and he could no longer be seen.
During the waiting process, several people around Zhao Zheng did not wait, but started chatting. They even talked about the Zichu sword that Zhao Zheng wore, and they all cast envious eyes on the sword. When it comes to value,
, Zichu Sword is better than Jingshencao, and is even more enviable. Zhao Zheng is not cold towards these people. He just dealt with a few words and did not have an in-depth conversation. He focused more on the opposite side.
.
The warrior senses time very accurately, as if there is a sun corona in his head.
When the time approached noon, the conversation among the warriors immediately decreased a lot, and then they fell into complete silence. Everyone's eyes were all focused on the Jingshen grass opposite. Now, there is nothing but Jingshen there.
Outside of the sacred grass, the surroundings were empty, with no debris or people waiting around. Only a little further away, there was an archer standing, waiting to give orders.
Zhao Zheng secretly prepared for the fight and activated the Lei Yuan internal force in his Dantian. A ball of electricity suddenly brightened and turned into streaks of electricity, which entered his eight extraordinary meridians. There was a sound in his body.
There was a slight crackling sound, and all the hairs stood on end, and there was a faint arc passing through the skin, and it disappeared in an instant. He has the top-grade light skill of Thunder Step, and no one at the same level of martial arts can match him in terms of speed.
, even close to the level of a seventh-level heavenly warrior. Once the robbery officially begins, he will definitely be able to leave the people around him far behind, leaving these people behind to eat ashes.
When several people around him heard the movement inside Zhao Zheng's body, they all turned their gazes over with different expressions. They could vaguely feel the unusual fluctuations of internal energy in Zhao Zheng's body, and they secretly felt wary.
Of course, Zhao Zheng was not the only one with the trump card. A member of the Shennong Gang who was standing not far from him slowly took out a pill from the treasure bag in front of everyone and swallowed it in one gulp.
After taking this elixir, his face immediately turned red and his muscles bulged slightly.
"Strange Power Pill!" Someone recognized the red pill and shouted.
Hearing this name, several people around him showed strange expressions. After a warrior takes the strange power pill, his strength will be temporarily enhanced, but it will leave some consequences and require some time to recover. At first, Zhao Zheng, Yu Ling'er and others were under the spell.
He had taken these medicines when he was attacked in the Xiang Valley.
With the help of the strange power pill, the disciples of the Shennong Gang must have a certain advantage over others. The Shennong Gang has always been known for being good at refining pills, so it is not surprising that they can come up with such a strange power pill.
However, not everyone in the Shennong Gang took the strange power pill, and even the leader of the Qing Gang did not take it, probably because they were worried about the side effects of the strange power pill.
Zhao Zheng didn't take the Shennong Gang to heart. There were some gaps that couldn't be bridged by just one pill.
"puff!"
At this moment, the time finally passed to noon. The archer lit the oil-soaked arrow tip on fire, then pointed it at the sky, drew the bow like a full moon, then relaxed his hand and shot the rocket.
Sky.
The moment the rocket took off, as many as twenty warriors heard the sound and rushed towards the direction of the Jingshen Grass. No one wanted to fall behind.
Naturally, Zhao Zheng had already made some moves. He jumped out like a cheetah, darting far away in the blink of an eye. There were faint flashes of lightning all over his body, making him look dazzling. He showed great talent from the beginning.
Compared with the speed of warriors of the same level, those who were standing on the same starting line were immediately left behind by a certain distance, even the disciple of the Shennong Clan who had taken the medicine was no exception.
As for the fifth-level Heavenly Warriors standing in front of him, they did not pose much of a threat to him. He would definitely be able to catch up with these people before they approached the Jingshen Grass. The real threat to him was the higher realms behind him.
Those warriors gave him a headache.
Behind Zhao Zheng, the battle became more intense. All those in the Seventh and Eighth Layers were moved upon hearing the news. Among them, the leader of the Qing Gang was undoubtedly the fastest, and this old fox flew at the front. The others were lagging behind, and there were several people.
When we come together, it's like forming an alliance.
These people are different from Zhao Zheng and others. They all use the flying method to advance. Each one drags out internal energy brilliance of different colors in mid-air, as if a rainbow has opened in mid-air.
Further away, Xiao Yunyin came through the air, his speed was extremely fast, and no one else could match it. If nothing unexpected happened, he could have arrived first, ahead of everyone, and be the first to catch the Jingshen Grass.
in hand.
But just when Xiao Yunyin was about to pass over the heads of those seventh- and eighth-level heaven warriors, the few people who had gathered suddenly turned around and formed a defense in mid-air. These people joined hands and showed off their abilities.
Each and every one of them showed off their special skills.
Zhang Biaotou waved the golden round shield on his right arm several times, condensing several huge shield shadows in mid-air. Some of the people around him waved their palms, and some waved their swords.
In an instant, the whole sky was occupied by powerful offensives such as palm shadows and sword lights, and the blockage was tight and airtight.
These attacks were obviously aimed at Xiao Yun, blocking his way. He did not rush around, and his expression did not change. He calmly pulled out his sword and stabbed the attacks in front of him. A dragon-shaped sword.
The energy flew out smoothly, causing a loud roar. The angry sword dragon faced the attacks in front of it, bumped into them, and smashed all the attacks.
Even though the attack by Zhang Biaotou and others was very powerful and powerful, compared with Xiao Yunyin's attack, it was as paper-like and insignificant. The dragon-shaped sword energy only weakened a little, and then those shield shadows and palms were destroyed.
The shadow and sword light penetrated, opening up a passage for Xiao Yunyin.
Xiao Yunyin followed closely and tried to pass through, but at this moment, Zhang Biaotou's men attacked him relentlessly again, some of them launched long-distance attacks on him, and some even got close to him.
He. He was dragged in mid-air by these people, so he had to resort to countermeasures. He used his special skill Canglong Sword Technique to push back all the attacks. Then he saw a second dragon-shaped sword energy coming out in response and hovering in mid-air.
He circled around a few times, baring his teeth and waving his claws, so majestic.
Even if Zhang Biaotou and others were put together, they couldn't be Xiao Yunyin's opponent. The most they could do was this. After they were forced back by the dragon-shaped sword energy, they were no longer able to do anything. They couldn't stop Xiao Yunyin even if they wanted to.
Lived.
Xiao Yunyin seized this opportunity, broke through the defense of Zhang Biaotou and others, turned into a brilliant light, and flew far away in an instant. The sudden attack of Zhang Biaotou and others just now, although it did not hurt him, it delayed his time.
It disrupted his rhythm. He looked around and found that the situation ahead had become extremely unfavorable. Zhao Zheng was running at the front and was about to rush to the Jingshen Grass. But behind him, the leader of the Qing Gang was following closely.
When he arrived, his speed was obviously faster than Zhao Zheng.
If this momentum continues, the first person to pick the Jingshen Grass will definitely be the Qing Gang leader, not Xiao Yunyin or Zhao Zheng.
This situation is extremely bad for Xiao Yunyin.
"No, I have to lend a helping hand to little brother Zhao Zheng." Xiao Yunyin's eyes flashed, and he thrust the sword in his hand at Gang Leader Qing's back. Although he did not release the dragon-shaped sword energy, he released a burst of speed.
Extremely fast sword energy.
On the surface, this sword energy looked simple and unpretentious. It was in the shape of an air flow. It hit the Qing Gang Leader in the back at a speed exceeding the speed of the Qing Gang Leader. When the sword went down, there should have been a scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere, but in fact it was not like that. The sword
The anger flashed away, but it only tore the Qing Gang Leader's clothes to pieces.
The torn strips of cloth flew away, revealing a large hole. In the large hole, there was a shining silver inner armor. It turned out that the leader of the Green Gang had something to rely on, and he actually wore a very high-quality armor.
The inner armor was on his body. This inner armor neutralized most of Xiao Yunyin's attacks, and the remaining strength was resisted by the leader of the Qing Gang himself. After all, this old fox also had the eighth level of cultivation.
However, under this blow, the Green Gang leader was not unscathed. He vomited a stream of blood from his mouth and apparently suffered internal injuries.
Gang Leader Qing was injured and slowed down a little, but he was still faster than Zhao Zheng. He surpassed Zhao Zheng in one go and rushed to the Jingshen Grass. He was about to catch the Jingshen Grass.
Zhao Zheng, who was left behind by the leader of the Green Gang, did not watch this happen. Instead, he used his internal force to hit the hidden needle weapon in his boots, and two steel needles glowing with green light were shot out from the bottom of the boots.
At the same time, he himself also launched an offensive against the leader of the Qing Gang. He pulled out the Zichu Sword and used the Maha Sword Technique to attack the critical points on the leader of the Qing Gang. Even the Cloud-Piercing Sword hidden in his sleeves
, also turned into an arc of cold light, and also helped.
These three completely different offensives cannot be underestimated even by eighth-level warriors, not to mention that the Qing gang leader's back is to Zhao Zheng. He took off the "Xingyue Chain Convenient Shovel" hanging from his waist, turned around, and swish
He swung four times and unleashed four bursts of energy. Two of them knocked away the needles in his boots, and the other two forced the Zichu Sword and the Cloud-Piercing Sword apart. Jiang was very powerful, and this move of his
It's so neat and tidy that anyone who sees it will cheer.
With one successful blow, Zhao Zheng slightly hindered the forward momentum of the Qing Gang Leader. He did not continue to attack, but let go of his hand and let the Zichu Sword fly out. The Zichu Sword and the Cloud Chuanjian were two high-grade swords.
The swords attacked the Green Gang Leader together, moving around his body, forcing the Green Gang Leader to fight back.
These two high-grade swords were of great help. Zhao Zheng himself seized this opportunity, rushed forward, grabbed the Jingshen grass that was swaying in the wind, successfully grabbed the stem of the grass, and pulled it up by the roots.
"Succeeded!"
When Zhao Zheng caught the Jingshen Grass, he shouted with joy. (To be continued)
