Next, even if Ye Xuan killed him on the ring, no one would intervene. At most, they would give him some symbolic punishment afterwards.
"It's not fair, it's not fair!"
Zhao Linglong held onto the railing with her hands, her pretty face turning red from suppressing her emotions.
Qingxiao sighed secretly.
In my heart, there is no fairness in this world. If you are a heavenly spirit bone, you are destined to be superior to others from the time you are born. If you are just a mediocre person, then you are destined to become a small speck of dust in this world.
"Junior sister, let me leave for a moment."
After a few breaths of silence, Qingxiao patted Zhao Linglong on the shoulder.
"Second senior brother?"
"Senior Brother Qingxiao!"
Zhao Linglong and Zi Yan stood up.
Both of them guessed what Dugu Qingxiao wanted to do.
"If I don't do this, I'll be hard-pressed."
Qing Xiao glanced at the two of them, and then walked down from the seat resolutely.
Obviously, he was ready to stop this sword fight.
Seeing this scene, Jin Hezhi suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that said he had everything under control.
…
On the arena.
"Xu Taiping, are you willing to admit defeat?"
In the deathly silence, the elder in gray clothes on the sidelines suddenly frowned and reminded Xu Taiping.
He naturally understood that Xu Taiping had been regarded as Ye Xuan's whetstone in front of him, but after watching Xu Taiping's entire competition at close range, he really couldn't bear to see this young man with great perseverance die.
Xu Taiping, who was tearing off the burned clothes bit by bit, felt a warm feeling in his heart after hearing these words.
As sharp as he is, he has naturally seen the fact that he has been regarded as an abandoned son by Qingxuan Sect.
Therefore, it is really rare that this elder can think about himself.
"Elder, you..."
"old man!"
Xu Taiping was about to reply, but the other person turned red with anger.
Eye-catching Ye Xuan interrupted.
"shut up!"
Then Ye Xuan gave the elder in gray a fierce look.
"I am supervising the examination, this is my duty."
The gray-clothed elder looked at Ye Xuan coldly.
"Elder Qi, the sword quest is not over yet, please step back."
At this moment, an old but majestic voice sounded from Yunlou.
Along with that sound pouring down, there was also a pressure as thick as a mountain.
"Well……"
After the pressure dropped, the face of the elder in gray suddenly turned pale.
Obviously, this pressure was directed at him.
"Yes, Master!"
The gray-clothed elder bowed his hands towards the tallest cloud tower, then turned and walked towards the bottom of the ring.
"It was actually the leader who put the pressure on himself."
Xu Taiping felt a little chilled inexplicably.
But that's all. Ever since he was young, the word fairness has been a luxury for him.
So he's used to it.
"Elder Qi."
Just as the elder was about to walk towards the ring, Xu Taiping suddenly stopped him.
"What's the matter?"
The elder in gray looked at Xu Taiping with a complicated expression.
"What do you call an elder?"
Xu Taiping asked the elder with a smile.
"This old man, his surname is Qi and his given name is Haoran."
The elder in gray took a deep look at Xu Taiping and then replied.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Qi, for speaking up today."
Xu Taiping thanked Mr. Qi very seriously.
"
Ashamed."
Mr. Qi smiled bitterly, then raised his hand to Xu Taiping and said:
"Take care of yourself."
Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.
"Are you ready to die?"
At this time, Ye Xuan, who was standing across the ring, asked Xu Taiping impatiently.
Naturally, the next competition had nothing to do with Wenjian. He just wanted to beat Xu Taiping and defeat him completely, so as to calm down his raging Taoist heart.
"Wait a moment, it'll be over soon."
Xu Taiping did not raise his head and continued to tear at the clothes that were burned and stuck to his skin. .??.
He was not worried that Ye Xuan would sneak attack him, because this kind of victory was obviously not what Ye Xuan wanted.
"Tear..."
After cleaning the burnt clothes stuck to the skin.
Xu Taiping directly tore open the linen jacket he was wearing on his upper body, revealing the scars all over his back, as well as the metal strips tied around his waist and abdomen that exuded an indigo luster.
"Is this... is this... is it a shipwreck?!"
Some people recognized at a glance the metal bars tied around Xu Taiping's strong lower abdomen.
"Barge iron? Isn't that the secret iron used by shippers to pressurize the hold of the ship to prevent the empty ship from being overturned by the waves?"
At this time, Zhao Linglong also recognized the iron bars tied to Xu Taiping's body.
Ship ballast iron is a kind of secret iron, a small one weighs a hundred kilograms. Because it does not take up much space, many shipyards use it to pressurize ship cabins, hence the name.
"Thirteen, fourteen... at least fourteen pieces of ballast iron. Doesn't that weigh one thousand four hundred kilograms? Xu Taiping actually just tied up one thousand four hundred kilograms of ballast iron to compete with Ye Xuan!"
After Zi Yan roughly counted the ballasts tied to Xu Taiping's body, she suddenly exclaimed in disbelief.
martial arts
It is true that ballast irons are used to build strength, but to tie fourteen of them directly to the body like Xu Taiping is simply what a lunatic would do.
Not to mention, Xu Taiping had just tied these fourteen ship irons to compete with Ye Xuan.
Zhao Linglong no longer knew what to say.
Yunlou, which was originally silent, was now in an uproar.
But most people still had some doubts, wondering whether what was tied to Xu Taiping's body was actually the ship's ballast.
Just as doubts were growing, Xu Taiping took off the iron bars connected to him and threw them off the stage.
"boom!!!"
The loud sound of heavy objects hitting the ground immediately made all doubts disappear.
And this isn't over yet.
He then rolled up his trouser legs, then took off the two anklets that resembled shackles at the ankles of his calves, and then threw them under the ring again.
"boom!"
There was another sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
This sound also hit hard on the hearts of all the monks present.
"At least...two thousand kilograms! He has at least two thousand kilograms of ballast iron tied to his body."
Xu Ziyan's face was full of astonishment.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that there was not only a spiritual genius like Ye Xuan standing in the ring, but also a martial arts lunatic.
"I naturally have to work harder."
In response to those shocked looks, Xu Taiping acted very calmly.
He knew very well that he was not a madman, he just did what he could.
While thinking this, he put one hand on the handle of the long knife at his waist, made a fist with the other hand to open the Qingniu Fist, then raised his eyes to look at Ye Xuan who looked opposite him with a complicated expression, and said firmly: "Qingzhuju,
Xu Taiping asked the first peak Ye Xuan for the sword.
