Chapter 231: Top families, two ninth grades, irresistible, final dilemma
While several people were discussing, the battle on the ring had already begun and gradually entered a fierce stage.
The person representing Qingshui County in the battle is Fang Yuanwu, a descendant of the Fang family in Qingshui City!
The Fang family's power in Qingshui City is average and cannot be called the first class, but no one dares to look down upon it.
Throughout Qingshui County, many cities have branches of the Fang family.
Including Qingfeng's wife and father, whom Tie Tang had contacted earlier, and the Longyuan Fang family, they are all branches.
The head of the Fang family is not in Qingshui County.
The influence of the entire Fang family is criss-crossed and spread in all directions, and there are even many people from the Fang family in the court.
This is a behemoth.
However, due to some special reasons, or perhaps due to the Fang family's own reasons, the various branches do not communicate closely with each other, and they are not the only top power in each party's territory.
The same is true for the Fang family in Qingshui City.
Rather than relying on the main family, the Qingshui Fang family seems to regard Qingshui County as their hometown.
In this county-city competition, Fang Yuanwu, the genius of the clan and possessing eighth-grade talent, was also sent to assist in the battle.
Fang Yuanwu's opponent is a genius with the same eighth-level talent, both of whom are at the ninth level of Tianxin. So far, the two have been almost evenly matched, with no obvious difference in strength.
"There are still a lot of Fang family members. I feel like I can meet a few of them wherever I go." Tie Tang chatted with He Changsheng while watching the battle.
He Changsheng obviously knew more, and said meaningfully, "The Fang family has deep roots. It can be said that it is one of the most prosperous families in the world. You must not underestimate it."
"Oh? Such a big background? It doesn't seem to be anything special. Nowadays, in addition to the Lu family, even the Si family in Qingshui City can show off their power."
"Haha, a thing like the Si family is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Fang family. No matter how happy it dances, does it dare to touch the Fang family?
No one dares!
Even the Lu family must give in when it encounters a real conflict with the Fang family.
It’s just that the Fang family has always been low-key and would not easily cause trouble.
The age of the aristocratic family has long passed. If you like to be in the limelight too much, you will cause the displeasure of the court.
Once the imperial court wants to take action against you, no aristocratic family can resist.
So the Fang family you see is very mediocre and not too outstanding, but the strength of the Fang family secretly has already reached the sky."
Tie Tang frowned, "You can keep a low profile, but if your family's unique skills and techniques cannot be spread, wouldn't this family be in disarray?"
The Fang family members he has seen are considered to be middle-class in strength, but they are far from the top, which is obviously inconsistent with the status of the Fang family.
"A true genius will be taken away by his master as soon as he shows signs of it. How could we see it?
The Fang Yuanwu in front of him is just the 'sand' after the big waves wash away the sand, and the gold has been taken away long ago."
"Interestingly, it seems that I will have many opponents in the future."
The eighth-grade genius is just gravel.
This kind of thing can only be accomplished by the most elite families on earth.
He Changsheng laughed and patted Tie Tang on the shoulder, "You are already a polished jade. No matter what clan or where you are in the world, you can be called the most dazzling existence.
The family has a lot of gold, but it should be impossible to find a being that surpasses you."
Tie Tang did not respond, but quietly watched the fight on the ring.
The county-city competition gathered the outstanding talents and geniuses from the eight counties, but he always felt that there were very few real geniuses.
Let’s not talk about Juedian. Apart from him and Long Yu, there is no one, not even Juedian with thirty-six orifices has appeared.
But there are actually not many geniuses with ninth-grade talent or even eighth-grade talent.
This is obviously something abnormal.
Gather the power of eight counties, with a population of tens of billions, and eliminate all other factors, starting from the physical body and blood exchange state, all the way to Wu Jintian's state of mind, no genius can be found?
Impossible!
Considering the scale of today's competition, if you don't have talents above grade seven, you are simply not qualified to appear.
But whether it is Qingshui County or other counties, many times they still have to rely on talents with sixth-grade talents, let alone eighth-grade and ninth-grade geniuses.
Not many at all!
At first, Tie Tang thought it was because he was moving to the county, and it was normal that he couldn't find a few top talents.
But now he knows——
This is just one of the reasons!
Many powerful geniuses have already been taken away by some wealthy families in advance, or directly requisitioned by the court, and will not appear easily.
This also caused the eight major people who were already at the end of the food chain to go down to the county. There was a shortage of talents, and there were only a few who could do anything.
It can be said that until now, the world that Tie Tang can see is still only a small part of this world.
The vast and vast stage only showed the tip of the iceberg, without fading away the heavy curtain.
A cry of pain disturbed Tie Tang's thoughts. He looked into the distance and saw that the situation in the ring was not optimistic.
Fang Yuanwu had already broken off his arm, but what he got in exchange was two big bloody holes in his opponent's chest and Dantian.
I'm afraid only the two people in the ring know whether this deal is worth it.
But it’s obvious——
The balance of victory has gradually tilted towards Tianshan County.
This battle is actually a crucial battle for both sides.
In the three-person battle alone, Tie Tang and Wu Congyun each scored a point. If Fang Yuanwu can win, he will give Tianshan County a fatal blow.
Before the competition in Tianxinjing begins.
Tianshan County is divided into points, Qingshui County is divided into points, there is a difference in points.
Now with the victory of Tie Tang and Wu Congyun, Qingshui County has become one point, narrowing the gap with Tianshan County.
If Fang Yuanwu can defeat Qingshui County, he will receive points including victory rewards and penalties, total points.
Tianshan County not only failed to score a single point, but also had points deducted and turned into points.
It can be said that Fang Yuanwu's battle is no longer a battle of points, but a battle to determine points.
It is enough to widen the gap between the two counties, allowing Qingshui County to lock in the first place among the eight counties in advance.
The Tianshan County Sheriff was also afraid of this situation before, and once thought of putting Ye Feiang in the third game to ensure that he could score a point.
Now both sides are focusing on the ring, including those from the eight major counties, and they also want to see whether their future opponents will be Qingshui County or Tianshan County.
Fang Yuanwu's battle may reveal the answer in advance.
With a broken arm, Fang Yuanwu's combat power was undoubtedly reduced. Whether it was witchcraft, supernatural powers, or close combat, he was far less ferocious than before.
As for the eighth-grade Tianshan County, despite being injured, his limbs are intact and his methods are more flexible and perfect.
This is not a battle between wizards and soldiers, both sides can only rely on their own strength.
The eighth-grade Tianshan County commander obviously knew that his county was in a critical situation, so he tried his best to exchange injuries for injuries.
With this aura of risking his own life to survive, he finally defeated Fang Yuanwu and took the lead in cutting off one of Fang Yuanwu's arms, sealing the victory.
The next situation is already expected by everyone.
Although Fang Yuanwu still never gave up, he was still gradually and slowly devoured by the other party.
Wait until the referee declares victory or defeat.
Both men fell into a pool of blood in the ring, both exhausted.
Having reached this point in the battle, it can be said that I am worthy of anyone. Regardless of victory or defeat, I have given a perfect answer.
Everyone in Qingshui County was a little regretful that they failed to win this game, but they would not blame Fang Yuanwu.
He has tried his best.
The five-person team battle is about to begin. There is only one hour of rest time. It can be foreseen that
Neither Fang Yuanwu nor the eighth grade of Tianshan County will appear again.
This is the cruelty of the Tianxinjing competition, which is completely different from other levels. Every game can be said to be the last one.
Being able to play once is already a great effort.
If you want to participate in battles repeatedly and play non-stop, only the geniuses of rank nine or above can do it.
Those below rank nine have only one chance.
Before the five-man team battle begins, it is a rest time and an important moment for arranging troops.
He Changsheng, Qiu Zhengyang, Lu Zhengqing and others seemed very relaxed.
"Tianshan County is at the end of its rope. Ye Feiang burns his spirit and will not be able to fight. This eighth-level man is exhausted and cannot recover in a short period of time.
They only exist at the eighth level at most, and we also have Tie Tang as a trump card, so we can gain as many points as possible."
"It's not that simple!" Li Qingwan objected.
"Ye Feiang is a ninth grader. He is trying his best to burn his soul and drag Sister Wu into the water.
If it was just to prevent Sister Wu from going into battle, Shanjun also lost a ninth-grade person that day.
In comparison, they still suffer more.
If the other party dares to do this, I'm afraid it will make Ye Feiang fight again."
He Changsheng was puzzled, "But he has indeed burned his soul. This cannot be false. Even the Tianshou point cannot allow him to recover in such a short period of time, right?"
"It is indeed impossible under normal circumstances, but it is difficult to guarantee whether the Tianshan County Sheriff has prepared any natural materials or elixirs in advance.
Otherwise, why would he do this?
Knowing that they are defeated, but still losing their ace combat power is of no benefit to their side at all.
If Ye Feian is left here, the five-man team battle can at least gain one or two points, but it is not certain that they will encounter Sister Wu.
If the opponent has planned in advance and cooperates with the characteristics of the ninth grade, it is not impossible to quickly return to peak combat strength. We cannot be careless."
Lu Zhengqing thought of something and looked worried.
"To put it this way, our situation is dangerous. Wu Congyun is seriously injured and unable to fight, and Fang Yuanwu is exhausted. Apart from Tie Tang, we seem to have no one who can take action."
The other wizards thought about it carefully and immediately understood their current predicament.
"Even if the Tianxin Jiuzhongtian with ninth-grade talent is the top genius, he can only remain undefeated, right?"
"The gap in realm cultivation is too big, and the ninth level is not too far away from the ultimate peak. It will be very difficult for Tie Tang.
Even if you can remain undefeated by relying on your invincible situation, you may be judged to be a loser at the final settlement."
"There is still a point gap between us and Tianshan County. In the seventh round of the competition, Tianshan County's opponent is Ningjing County, and our opponent is Changdu County.
The situation is also favorable to them!
If you want to win the first place among the eight counties, you have to find a way to defeat Tianshan County in the next five-person team battle.
Even if we can’t win a complete victory, we must at least score points, otherwise our chances are slim and it’s almost impossible to look forward to first place.”
The seventh round of Qingshui County is the secret realm of witches and wizards. Li Qingwan may participate in the battle at that time, and the chance of winning is extremely high.
But their opponent is Changdu County, who is also not a soft persimmon, and even has a chance to win the first place.
However, Tianshan County’s opponent is Ningjing County, and the possibility of obtaining high scores is extremely high.
If Qingshui County cannot suppress Tianshan County in this round, it will be extremely difficult to decide the winner in the seventh round.
"It is impossible to win a five-person team battle. Getting as many points as possible and closing the distance with Tianshan County is the only thing we can do."
"Everyone, don't be so discouraged. Ye Feiang may not play again. As long as he doesn't appear, I believe in the strength of the supreme genius."
Most of the wizards place their hopes on Tie Tang, but that is based on the fact that Ye Feian will not fight.
Once Ye Feiang goes into battle, no one in Tianxin Jiuchongtian with ninth-grade talent will be optimistic about Tie Tang.
After all, the gap in cultivation is there. It is real and cannot be ignored by just talking.
No matter how powerful the supreme talent is, only Tie Tang, who is in the supernatural power realm, can defeat the ninth level of Tianxin Ninth Level?
No one believes it!
To remain undefeated and then lose due to an RBI is everyone's greatest expectation for Tie Tang.
This is also the most likely scenario.
If Tie Tang had already cultivated into Yuanshen, even if he only had the first level of Tianxin, everyone would have full confidence in him.
But it’s obviously not possible now.
Compared to a kind of worried wizard, Tie Tang seemed very relaxed, sunbathing with his feet up, chatting with Long Yu and Li Yao next to him.
"My lord, are you sure?"
"There's no guarantee. As the saying goes, just try your best, right?"
"That's different. You are the top, and everyone has different expectations."
Tie Tang still said, "Eighty to ninety percent, I dare not say more."
"What if the Ninth Grade just now comes on stage again?"
"That's better. I'll avenge Aunt Wu by the way, and I'll have an explanation for Biqi when I get back."
Li Yao squatted half-crouched behind Tie Tang and rubbed his shoulders. He still didn't believe it when he heard this, "The ninth-level master of Tianxin Ninth Level is not sure, right?"
"There are levels of ninth grade. Didn't I tell you before? He is only the third grade of ninth grade, and his qualifications and talents are the same as yours.
Am I going to lose to you?"
Li Yao shook his head repeatedly, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong.
At this moment.
The map of Jiangshan Sheji shook slightly, and two figures appeared. They were an old man and a young man, rushing towards Tianshan County.
Seeing these two people appear, the Tianshan County Sheriff burst into laughter and hurriedly greeted them.
This scene was captured by Li Qingwan and others, and they looked extremely ugly for a moment.
"Another Ninth Grade!"
"It doesn't look like the manpower Tianshan County is preparing."
"Does anyone know you?"
Qiu Zhengyang's face was extremely ugly, "I know who he is, but why does he appear now? Isn't he in retreat preparing to enter the secret realm of witchcraft?"
"Who is it?"
"Jiangdu Prefecture, the inspector who supervises the capital, Yan Guanyu."
"He's not going to participate in the next fight, is he?"
"Obviously, if he doesn't participate, why come here now?"
All the wizards, including Li Qingwan, began to worry.
Ye Feian's problem has not been solved yet, and a new ninth-grade person has appeared.
The combined power of these two ninth-level players alone can defeat the other four people except Tie Tang.
After Wu Congyun and Fang Yuanwu were unable to appear in Qingshui County, there were only a few seventh-grade Tianxin Jiuzhongtian who could participate in the battle.
This kind of strength has been greatly improved compared to previous years. Even if it is above this competition, it is still stronger than that of other counties and cities.
Even if there is a competition between Changdu County and Yinbai County in the state of mind, they will not be able to fight at least level seven.
Li Qingwan, who was originally quite confident about Tian's mood, suddenly fell into trouble because of the appearance of two ninth-level ones.
Now it is not a question of how many points can be scored, but that Qingshui County is likely to be completely defeated by Tianshan County.
As long as the two ninth-level players appear one after another, they can definitely fight five games in a row.
In Qingshui County today, it has become extremely difficult to score a point.
Even if they can barely win a point, they have completely withdrawn from the stage of competing for first place in the eight counties.
After this battle, Tianshan County will definitely be far ahead in points.
Unless Tianshan County is completely defeated by Ningjing County in the seventh round, or Qingshui County can crush Changdu County.
But both situations are almost impossible to happen.
"Qiu Zhengyang, where is he from?"
If you are not from the county, and have no experience such as working in the county or living for a long time, it is impossible to represent the county in the competition.
Tianwen was unable to participate in the county-city competition. In addition to his own status, there were also factors in this area.
Without this restriction, the competition will be completely chaotic. All parties will invite foreign aid, and the competition will not be based on their own strength and heritage.
Since Yan Guanyu works in Jiangdu Prefecture, unless he is a local from Tianshan County, he is not qualified to fight.
Qiu Zhengyang looked embarrassed, "I have only met him a few times and have not had much interaction with him. I really don't know such details."
One is a witch and the other is a shaman, and Qiu Zhengyang's official position is higher than that of Yan Guanyu, so how can he know the details of the other party?
"Then maybe we can start from this aspect."
"Yes, yes, if he is not from Tianshan County, he is not even qualified to fight. No matter how talented he is, it will be useless."
Li Qingwan waved her hand to stop everyone from talking, "Don't think about it. As an inspector, since he dares to come, he must have done a good job.
With Marquis Zhongyong present, there is no point in concealing his identity. He must be from Tianshan County."
"Then we have no hope?"
"Uh~ Actually second place is not bad."
"Second place is okay, at least it's much higher than our previous ranking."
"Yes, if you think about it carefully, we have done a good enough job in this competition compared to the past."
"Time is also destiny, and some things cannot be forced."
"There is still a chance. Thirty years from now we will surely be among the people in the county."
"Next time, definitely next time!"
An hour passed quickly and it was time to submit the list.
Li Qingwan glanced at it and quickly wrote five names.
After getting Tianshan County's playing list, Ye Feiang and Yan Guanyu were on the list, which was all expected.
If there is such a thing as destiny in the world, it is probably nothing more than this.
Even if you foresee the future in advance, there is still no way to change it.
In the first round of the five-person team battle, Li Qingwan drew the word "地", and the decision-making power rested with the Tianshan County Sheriff.
This is the worst case scenario!
"If destiny is not with us, we obviously still have a chance. If it's one-on-one, maybe he still has a chance, right?" Li Qingwan smiled bitterly, but there was nothing she could do.
The Tianshan County Sheriff also got the list of Qingshui County's players earlier, and Wu Congyun was not on it. Except for the name of Tie Tang, he had never heard of the remaining four, and they were not very good.
At this time, if you draw the sign with the word "天", it means that you can choose the way to fight.
In this way, Tianshan County is almost the winner of the eight counties.
"Dark horse?"
"Ha~Then you should go all out."
The Tianshan County Sheriff could no longer hide his smile.
"Official choice"
"Double battle!"
The ruling official already knew the battle lists of both sides. He was startled when he heard this, but he still nodded.
"Yes!"
After Li Qingwan returned to the stands, everyone's eyes suddenly lost their light after learning about the fighting method.
There is no hope.
In single-player battles, you can also hope for miracles to happen.
Two player battle
Not only will you lose, but there is a high probability that you will lose completely. You will not get a single point, and you will also have points deducted.
Qingshui County will send out candidates first for the first game, but everyone knows that this first game will be the last one.
There is no need to even guess who Tianshan County will play, everyone is very sure.
It must be Ye Feiang and Yan Guanyu, the two ninth-level men joining forces.
And on my own side
Who can compete?
"Sir, why are you sad?"
Li Qingwan raised her head and saw that the young man in front of her was no longer cynical, but had a calm expression on his face.
Juedian is trustworthy.
Along the way, he has indeed scored a lot of points for Qingshui County, allowing Qingshui County to significantly surpass its previous rankings and achieve what he could not do before.
But now.
Can he still be able to bear the heavy burdens of the two ninth ranks?
I can’t pick it up anymore.
There are limits even at the top.
Li Qingwan lowered her eyelids, and a strand of her hair was blown by the breeze, like a willow lingering. Under the broad red robe and in the soft blue silk, a bitter question came from.
"Who do you think should play?"
Tie Tang stood with his hands behind his back, and his figure slowly disappeared from the stands, leaving only a plain word.
