Chapter 217 Dark horse, dark horse, dark and horse
Single player battle is the result of Li Qingwan’s advance consideration.
If everything goes well, Tie Tang can break through the five-person link with just one person.
If you encounter an outstanding person from the Inspection Department, you can also rely on the human wave tactic to massacre Feng'an County.
The five-person team battle began. In the first round, the draw was unfavorable, and Qingshui County took the lead.
Li Qingwan didn't even think about it and directly sent Tie Tang on the field.
Although Feng'an County has two major seventh-level forces, neither of them combined can be a match for Tie Tang alone. As long as the opponent does not have extraordinary soldiers, they will definitely lose.
Seeing Tie Tang enter the ring, the Feng'an County Sheriff also understood what Tie Tang was thinking.
There was a crooked smile on his face, as if he had everything under control.
"Yu Kangshun, you will start this battle!"
"Subordinates take orders."
A man wearing a dark blue cloud-patterned official robe jumped up and came to the ring.
The familiar robe made Tie Tang narrow his eyes.
This is the official uniform of the ninth-grade chief catcher!
The shimmering Qiu Shui Yan Fei Dao on the opponent's waist also shows his identity.
Yu Kangshun's talent is average. He only has a fifth-grade talent, and logically speaking, he is not qualified to play. However, Feng'an County chose him to play first, naturally to achieve a certain purpose.
As soon as the two confronted each other, the ruling official had not yet spoken, but the voice of the Feng'an County Sheriff was heard in his ears.
"Sir, Tie Tang has an appointment with the Inspection Department. He should be defeated in this battle!"
The official guarding the ring had a strange look on his face. He knew a bit about Tie Tang, but it was too inappropriate to judge him as a loser.
"Weasel, do you only use these unflattering methods?" After seeing Yu Kangshun, Li Qingwan also came to the ring.
She knew that the other party was going to start cheating.
If Tie Tang loses this battle, Qingshui County will undoubtedly be defeated in the subsequent battle. This is definitely something she will not allow.
"What? Is Qingshui County going to ignore the agreement between the Supervisory Hall and the Inspection Department, or is Tie Tang going to go back on his word?"
"Humph, in the county-city competition, there has never been an instance of defeat without a fight. This one does not count. I will replace you with someone else."
"If you say you want to change, just change? If you can't beat it, then change? What else is there to compare with?"
The two county guards quarreled on the spot.
"You two, please be patient and wait for the Marquis to make a conclusion." The ruling officials did not dare to draw conclusions. This kind of matter can only be left to the judgment of Marquis Zhongyong.
He flew out of the way, came to the central stand, bowed, and then slowly spoke about the dispute in the ring.
Yu Kangshun crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Tie Tang triumphantly. This opportunity to defeat the most talented person may only come once in his life.
Myself - caught it!
"You're laughing!" Tie Tang stretched out his hand, and the golden magic power turned into a large handprint, directly pressing Yu Kangshun to the ground, unable to move.
He was also very distressed when he encountered this kind of thing.
Restricted by the previous agreement, asking him to avoid the battle will make him admit defeat?
This is not possible!
While several people were waiting for the results, the faint smell of blood filled the air, attracting everyone's attention.
"Ah~"
Shocking screams of pain penetrated the sky, and blood flew in the air along with the broken arm.
"I will never lose even if I die!"
Number A Arena.
Today this is the battlefield between Yinbai County and Changdu County.
The level chosen by Zhao Xinrong, the governor of Yinbai County, is Tian Mood!
This is the level with the most experts from all counties and cities present and the most balanced strength.
It can be said that whether you are ranked first or last, there will not be much difference in the reserve of masters in Tian's state of mind.
It is the most difficult and brutal level.
In the other three arenas, most of the competitions have already progressed to the team battle stage, but the A-shaped arena is still in the final stage of the three-person battle alone.
This battle has obviously come to an end. Blood is flowing everywhere on the ring, all kinds of witchcraft are flying in the air, and the vitality of the world is constantly escaping.
The two soul wizards, each with only one arm left, have given up on witchcraft and supernatural powers and are fighting hand to hand.
Above them, there is a soul beast with the same broken arms and limbs, still fighting with each other.
"Admit defeat, I admit defeat on his behalf!"
Zhao Xinrong, the governor of Yinbai County, flew up, separated the two people on the ring, lifted one of them up, and continued to inject life into him.
The Yuanshen Great Shaman held by him with one hand was obviously a master of the Ninth Level of Heaven's Heart, but at this moment, there were fist-sized holes in his neck, heart aperture, and Dantian, and even his skull was cracked, and red blood could be seen.
White and white objects.
If you continue to fight, this person will only die.
As for the great wizard of Changdu County who was fighting against him, although he only had one arm left at the moment, he still had strength left and his injury was not that serious.
Tie Tang glanced at it and felt that the other person's aura was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he finally remembered who he was.
Batiangan!
That day in the Divine Dove's Nest, one of the great witches of the soul who occupied the five second-grade heavenly seats.
He and Gong Yewei of Ningjing County were both in the Nest of the Divine Dove before, and both were great witches from the Nine Heavens of Tianxin, so they were noticed by Tie Tang.
"Changdu County, Batiangan wins!"
The ruling official showed no emotion as he announced the outcome of the battle.
He can prevent them from knowing life and death, but he cannot prevent them from knowing victory or defeat.
Such a tragic situation is caused by both sides' desire for victory.
With the cultivation of the Nine Heavens of Tianxin and the strength of Wu Jin’s Dzogchen, no one can know the outcome until the last moment.
So he had no choice. Even if he watched one person die, he still couldn't take action.
Zhao Xinrong asked the seriously injured and dying Great Witch to leave, but the subsequent fight still had to continue.
Compared with the three-person battle alone, the five-person team battle will undoubtedly be more brutal.
It was a wheel-and-wheel battle. If one person is not defeated, it means that a county is undefeated.
The investment of both parties in Tianxinjing is undoubtedly the level with the largest proportion and the most masters.
The county-city competition has been ongoing so far, and the first seriously injured and dying person has appeared, and he will obviously not be the last.
In the previous two rounds of competition, the first players were all testing, and the choices were nothing more than Long Yuan and Divine Power. The battle was fierce, but not tragic.
The second round was a literary fight, which was peaceful and no one was fighting, so that everyone began to slack off and forgot where this place was.
Because Yinbai County had a great start and had been leading the ranking, it wanted to spend the most evenly matched levels on the first and second ranked counties.
The scene before him was already within Zhao Xinrong's expectation, but even though he had seen this scene many times, he still felt a little sad.
In the T-shaped arena.
Tie Tang released his big hand seal, and Yu Kangshun stood up, no longer feeling proud.
Li Qingwan and Huang County Sheriff of Feng'an County are no longer at war with each other.
The fierce confrontation between Yinbai County and Changdu County undoubtedly affected everyone present. This is an inevitable situation.
It’s Yinbai County now, but it may be our side in the future.
Time flies, and the ruling official returns, bringing the decision of Marquis Zhongyong.
"Sir Huang, I would like to ask you, can the regulations of the Supervisory Palace and the Inspection Department be stricter than those of the imperial court?"
Sheriff Huang's heart trembled, "This is impossible! But"
"There is no room for blasphemy in the county-city competition. There is no use in resorting to tricks. There is no precedent for defeat without fighting. Tie Tang can evade the manpower of the Inspection Department, but he will not be counted as the loser.
The competition continues, and if the last person standing in the ring is a man from the Inspection Department, Qingshui County will be considered defeated."
The result was within the acceptable range for both parties. Sheriff Huang of Feng'an County originally just wanted to give it a try.
If Tie Tang can be abolished in one fell swoop, that would be the best result. If not, there is nothing we can do.
There will be no possibility of cheating or cheating in the competition. Even if there are loopholes in the rules, they can be corrected on the spot, and there is no possibility of taking advantage of the loopholes.
Rules are made by people!
And the Zhongyong Hou sent by the imperial court to supervise the battle——
Have the ability to set rules.
The men on both sides withdrew and began a new round of formation, but it was no longer meaningful to Feng'an County.
There is only one outstanding person in Feng'an County who has the status of inspection department, Yu Kangshun. With his own strength, it is obvious that he cannot defeat the four people in Qingshui County except Tie Tang.
If there is a seventh-grade genius in Feng'an County who is from the Inspection Department, there is a high chance that he can win.
As for now it’s impossible!
The team battle continued, and Qingshui County sent Tie Tang to appear first.
Feng'an County sent a sixth-grade hero, but he failed in one move.
In the second game, Feng'an County sent Yu Kangshun, Tie Tang left the game, and replaced the side strategy.
After Bian Ce's victory, Feng'an County quickly sent the seventh-grade genius to the stage in an attempt to gain points.
But Qingshui County did not give this opportunity, but withdrew the side policy and replaced it with Tietang.
As a result, Feng'an County no longer had any backup. Five people appeared on the stage one after another and were defeated one by one without scoring any points.
Qingshui County finally received a complete victory reward and punishment in the five-person team battle. In addition to the team battle points, there were also victory points and total points.
At the end of the third round of competition, Qingshui County accumulated points, but still failed to enter the top four and was still ranked fifth.
The people in Qingshui County who finished early did not leave immediately, but stayed in place to watch the competition in the other three arenas.
The most eye-catching one is the A-size arena.
On the battlefield of the Heavenly Mind Realm, almost all of the people fighting were the great witches from the eighth and ninth heavens. Their witchcraft was vast and magnificent, and the light of their supernatural powers shone everywhere in the arena like all kinds of divine rays.
In addition to the tragic Arena A, Arena B also began to show damage. The thick smell of blood floated in the Jiangshan Sheji Tu, creating a bleak mood.
The biggest cause of casualties——
Still a wizard soldier!
As the level strength increases, the restrictions on wizard soldiers are gradually opened.
In the Dragon Origin Realm, only third-level witch soldiers can be used, while in the Divine Power Realm, they are open to fifth-level soldiers.
The realm of spiritual wisdom is the seventh grade, and the realm of heavenly mind is the ninth grade.
Not to mention the ninth-level witch soldiers, the seventh-level witch soldiers are already extraordinary, and they definitely have the ability to hurt all the big and small witches in the secret realm of witchcraft.
No human body, witchcraft, or magical power can withstand the power of a seventh-level wizard soldier.
The increasingly brutal and bloody arena made most young people who participated in the competition for the first time begin to feel uncomfortable.
Many people couldn't bear to look at the arena with broken limbs and arms, and Li Yao was no exception.
He didn't understand. "It's just a competition between our own people. Why not ban the witch soldiers and compete purely with their own witchcraft and magical powers?"
Long Yu shook his head, "It's impossible to ban witch soldiers!"
"First of all, this is unfair to some people. Banning witch soldiers is equivalent to destroying one's own hands and feet. One can only use 10% of the means but cannot use 50% of them. It is obviously too unfair.
Secondly, the county-city competition is not just a game, and any damage is expected.
If you give up the wizard soldiers in the competition, when you get to the real battlefield, do you still expect your opponent to give up the wizard soldiers to fight you?
Witch soldiers are originally a personal method. To put it bluntly, there is no difference between witchcraft and magical powers. They are all things that enhance one's strength."
"But I still feel it's inappropriate. It's too tragic. Many people could have escaped injury, but were seriously injured because of the shaman soldiers. It may also affect their future cultivation strength."
Tie Tang patted Li Yao on the shoulder, "Even without the witch soldiers, they still have to decide the winner. In order to win, they will use all means.
The final result is still the same, not much different. The most important thing is that you have the ability.
Don’t be too kind, show more blood, and don’t get plotted in the future.”
"Thank you, sir!" Li Yao was still a little unwilling, but he did not continue to defend himself.
He has been in the Li family since he was born, and has had everything going smoothly. With his good talents and the support of talented people like Li Qingwan in the family, there have been few obstacles along the way. In fact, he does not have a deep feeling for the dangers of the world.
If this continues, you will eventually suffer a loss.
The battles in the arena ended one after another, with only the size A arena still continuing.
Each of the five-person team battles in Tian Xinjing is an extremely fierce competition. There is no obvious difference in strength. They are all among the best.
This also leads to bloodshed in every game. Unless one side is exhausted, there is no way to determine the outcome.
After four games, Yinbai County and Changdu County each scored points, so it was a tie.
In the three-person solo battle, Yinbai County gained points.
In today's competition, Yinbai County only got points. It was originally a point, but it added up to a point.
But Tianshan County scored points against Xiuyang County today, and the total score has reached 10 points, tied with Yinbai County.
And because of the overall ranking, if the points are tied, Tianshan County will surpass Yinbai County and rank first.
Therefore, the outcome of today's last game will determine the final ranking after the third round.
Everyone in Yinbai County obviously did not expect it. They originally thought that the draw to Qingshui County would be a hellish start.
But until the third round is about to end, they are still likely to secure the first place.
The longer the first person sits, the higher their ranking.
Even if you fail to become number one in the end, there is a high probability that you can surpass the previous rankings and take a further step, or even a second step.
The last Yuanshen Shaman to fight easily defeated the fourth person from Changdu County.
The opponent was already exhausted, so he forced himself to support himself in the ring just to consume as much of the opponent's strength as possible.
The fifth game, Tianxin Jiuchongtian vs. Tianxin Jiuchongtian.
The Yuanshen Great Witch who went to battle in Changdu County, to everyone's surprise, turned out to be the same Batiangan from before.
At this time, his broken arm had grown back, and his witchcraft power had been restored. Except for his slightly pale face, most of his strength was still online.
Tie Tang opened his martial arts eyes and carefully observed the two sides in the duel, but could not see any obvious differences between the strong and weak.
He asked Qingshui County's Yuanshen Great Witch, "Everyone, if we were to compete with the two on the field, who would be sure to win?"
There was silence, no one responded.
Yang Xiong is the newly promoted Tianxin Ninth Level. He sensed the strength of Batianqian in the Nest of the Divine Dove, and did not dare to come forward to ask for a battle at that time.
At this time, I watched the battle and gained a deeper understanding of Batiangan's strength, knowing that I was definitely no match.
The last person in Changdu County sent Ba Tiangan, which was a helpless move.
There are many great soul wizards from Tianxin Ninth Level Heaven, but none of them can defeat the opponent reliably.
Finally, I chose Batiangan, who had been injured before.
Ba Tiangan is extremely powerful and has been polished to perfection in the Ninth Level of Tianxin. He has also practiced hard for a long time in the Nest of the Divine Dove.
But he is still not a supreme genius with ninth grade talent. In other words, he has not penetrated the Tianshou point.
Once injured, you can only rely on vitality and elixirs to heal the injury, and you cannot quickly return to your peak state.
However, the Yuanshen Great Witch sent by Yinbai County has never gone into battle, and his strength has not been damaged and is still at its peak.
Although his overall strength is not as good as that of Ba Tiangan, with his outstanding performance, he finally won a tragic victory and won crucial points for Yinbai County.
In the five-person battle, Yinbai County won three times and lost two, and gained points. Plus the points earned by three people fighting alone, the total points still ranked first on the gold list.
The third** competition is over and the new rankings are released.
First, Yinbai County, points.
Second, Tianshan County, divided.
Third, Ningjing County, divided.
Fourth, Changdu County, divided.
Fifth, Qingshui County, branch.
Sixth, Xiuyang County, divided.
Seventh, Feng'an County, branch.
Eighth, Anquan County, divided.
Although Qingshui County is still ranked fifth, it has narrowed the points gap with the top ten, showing its status as a dark horse.
Afterwards, the counties that were originally ranked in the bottom four, except for Qingshui County, did not perform well and still stayed in their own positions.
Weakness over the years cannot be surpassed in a moment. It is not unreasonable for each county and city to have corresponding strength rankings.
After resting for a day and a night, the fourth session was in full swing.
At the same time, many uninvited guests also came to the Jiangshan Sheji Map.
Their cultivation levels range from strong to weak, and they are divided into eight arrays, with each party having less than ten people.
The other seven county governors did not pay too much attention, but Li Qingwan frowned, not expecting these people to arrive early.
Tie Tang saw a few familiar faces in the group of seventy or eighty people. After a little guessing, he roughly guessed the identities of those people.
"Hey, sir, look at that woman, Ying Roujin is here too." Li Yao pointed to the stand diagonally opposite, where a refined and refined woman was sitting upright. It was Ying Roujin who had fought against each other in the Nest of the Divine Dove. Tie Tang nodded, "These people should be the masters of the eight counties. I came here to get information in advance and want to see which county can break out of the siege."
At the same time.
Ying Roujin, who was sitting diagonally opposite, also saw Tie Tang and others. She whispered to a woman and pointed to Qingshui County.
The governor of Chaoxi County is also a woman. She has an outstanding appearance, like the orchid deep in the valley, and has the charm of a mature woman.
She and Li Qingwan have the same goal, and they are also aiming for first place this year.
In addition to the other seven opponents in Renzhong County, the most worthy of guarding against is the powerful enemy rushing out of Renxia County.
With two great peaks, no one will ignore this county.
If Qingshui County had not been weak for many years, it would have been able to compete with the top twenty-four Tianjun counties with just two top players.
The competition hasn't started yet, and everyone hasn't gotten up or moved around yet, waiting quietly for the decision of the eight governors.
Yinbai County, which had already made a decision once, did not choose Tianshan County again.
But this time the choice was equally unexpected.
Yinbai County chose Ningjing County, which ranked third on the gold list, and seemed to quickly consume the stronger counties.
Tianshan County, ranked second, finally no longer picked a soft persimmon, but a tough one.
Changdu County!
It seems that everyone is speeding up the pace and changing their previous strategies.
In fact, this year the emergence of the dark horse Qingshui County has brought about many variables.
At this time, Yinbai County, which ranks first, is one of the variables.
From the perspective of the other seven counties, the strongest counties this year are not Tianshan County and Changdu County, which originally ranked first and second.
But Qingshui County!
No one wants to play against Qingshui County too early, especially those who were originally ranked higher.
Because the top four counties had determined their opponents early, Qingshui County became the third candidate and had the right to choose its opponents.
Li Qingwan, who has the best swordsmanship, chose the softest persimmon without any hesitation.
Anquan County!
Competition level - physical body exchange for blood.
Before the game, Li Qingwan summoned Li Yao and Long Yu.
"If we can win the level, we can get points and jump directly to the first place."
After thirty years of sharpening a sword, it’s finally time to draw it out of its sheath.
Long Yu's eyes were firm and he patted his chest, "Don't worry, sir, we will come back victorious!"
Longyu is not Tietang, and there is no control from the inspection department.
An unrestricted top genius undoubtedly has great benefits in arranging troops.
Li Qingwan not only wants to win this battle, but also wants to win it completely.
Compared with Qingshui County, Anquan County is much simpler.
They don't expect points, as long as they don't deduct points, it's a victory.
Three people fight alone, the first game!
Qingshui County took the lead, and the leader was Li Yao.
The Three Hundred Aperture Points, which belong to the most powerful geniuses under the top, are guaranteed to win the first game.
Anquan County did not have a genius to match him, or he wanted to deliberately hide his clumsiness, so he sent an outstanding person with more than 170 acupoints.
Li Yao won easily in the first game.
By the second scene, Li Qingwan began to hesitate.
She didn't know if Anquan County had a trump card. Another person in Qingshui County who was in the physical realm had just barely entered the 180th acupoint, and could be considered a half-seventh-level genius.
By sending Long Yu, you can easily win the second game, but victory in the third game cannot be guaranteed.
Since Li Yao won the first game, Qingshui County still had to attack first in the second game, and Anquan County could plan and act later to ensure that it would not be completely defeated.
This is also the result of a deliberate arrangement by the imperial court. Unless there is an absolute crushing advantage, it is not as easy as imagined to achieve a complete victory or complete defeat.
After much thought, Li Qingwan still sent Long Yu to squeeze her opponents as much as possible, leaving them with no choice but to make a desperate move.
It would be impossible to see a top talent in the physical realm except in an occasion like a county-city competition.
If they want to enter the secret realm of witchcraft and medicine, in just one thought, their savings in the physical realm have completely reached the level of Great Perfection.
Visitors from the eight major counties all turned their attention to this competition, hoping to get a glimpse of Long Yu's strength.
Now Long Yu is still in the physical state, but if Qingshui County can really break out of the siege and reach the level of Renzhong County, he may not still be in the physical state.
Anquan County sent out nearly two hundred orifices this time, but they were still defeated.
Long Yu simply relied on the Dragon-Tiger Vision of the Dragon-Tiger Yin-Yang Duel to easily defeat his opponent without even showing much of his own strength.
