Chapter 346 Competition among the top four (Part 1)
Late at night, in the Zhongyuan Hall, the great elder in white robe bowed his hands to the person in front of him and asked slowly:
"Why did Senior Brother Lu call me?"
After Lu Chengsan closed the scroll, he turned around and said:
"The top four in the Ascension Conference will be announced soon."
The Great Elder Wu Xi nodded, with a glint in his beautiful eyes, and replied calmly:
"The decision will be made tomorrow."
Lu Chengsan nodded and continued:
"Junior sister, do you have any suggestions for our trip to Two Realms Mountain?"
Wuxi thought for a moment, shook his head, and replied:
"It's better to listen to you, senior brother."
The white-haired old man sighed and said:
"I know that you are not good at taking charge, and you don't want to step out of Lingkun State. Even if you have the title of Great Elder, you don't want to touch those things... In this case, you go find someone to give this letter to
Zhang Ao, let him come back and take those four disciples to Lingkun State."
After saying that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Xi.
The great elder was a little confused after receiving the letter and asked casually:
"Since senior brother has been released from seclusion, he can take charge of the power alone, then why not let the second elder Zeng go to lead the team? Instead of letting junior brother Zhang Ao go?"
Lu Chengsan opened the book in his hand again and replied slowly:
"Second Elder has been busy with a lot of business recently, and it's inconvenient to travel. We'd better call Zhang Ao back."
The great elder was silent for a long time, and then replied:
"yes."
After Wu Xi left, Lu Chengsan began to recall the battle between Yi Xifeng and Yi Xifeng in the morning.
"He was able to practice the Four Sword Pavilion Styles to a great level. I thought he had inherited that man's true meaning of the dragon and was a master of palm skills. Unexpectedly, he was also a swordsman genius! This man is old, and he sometimes makes mistakes.
." The white-haired old man murmured to himself.
…………
In Zhufeng Hall, Great Elder Wu Xi called a disciple who specialized in delivering letters and said to him:
"Go and deliver this letter to the third elder and tell him to return to Zhenwu Hall as soon as possible. If he asks about the reason, just tell him that it is about the Two Realms Mountains and he will know."
"Yes." Then, the disciple left the hall.
After he left, she turned back behind the roller blind.
…………
In the other courtyard near Mo Dan Palace, the young man in purple robe held the letter, smiled contemptuously, repackaged the letter and threw it to the disciple who sent the letter.
"Senior Brother Wei, do you need to replace the content of the letter?" The disciple who sent the letter had a stern look on his face, which was completely different from the sunny and upright attitude he had in Zhufeng Hall before.
Wei Wuji waved his hand and said:
"No, just follow the great elder's instructions."
"Yes." The disciple who delivered the message exited the courtyard and disappeared into the night.
…
The next day, early morning.
"Today's final battle will determine the top four in this Dao Promotion Competition." Lu Chengsan was sitting on the second floor of the hall, looking at the Zhenwu Hall disciples around the ring, and said in a deep voice to the two people around him.
.
Lu Chengsan himself has the cultivation level of the Great Hero Realm. With the blessing of inner strength, except for the three of them, even the disciples of the sect not far from them can make others inaudible as long as he doesn't want to.
The second elder, Zeng Feng, stood aside and nodded, saying, "Yes, these four people will be able to decide today."
Hall Master Lu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said: "What do the second elders think about the competition among the top four?"
Zeng Feng lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then replied: "My idea is a bit complicated. First, divide it into two games, one-on-one to determine the two winners, then win against the winner, lose against the loser, and then decide between one winner and one loser to compete for the first place.
Two and three…”
Lu Chengsan didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and said again: "How about a melee?"
After Zeng Feng heard this, he changed his mind slightly and felt that it was indeed much simpler than his method, but it was a little less fair, so he asked: "But if there is a three-on-one situation, is it unfair?
?”
"Relax, this will definitely not happen."
"Oh? Why is this?" Elder Zeng Feng asked with raised eyebrows, but in his mind he was like a mirror.
"The rankings of these four people will be announced one after another, so there is no need to worry too much."
"The top four have not yet been decided. Why does the hall master make such an assertion?"
Lu Chengsan chuckled and said casually without explaining too much:
"I'm afraid these four people have already decided."
Elder Zeng Feng thought for a moment and understood the meaning of Hall Master Lu's words. Zhenwu Tang went to Liangjie Mountain this time to explore the inheritance and obtain more sect resources. In this case, these four people must be familiar and familiar with each other.
People who work well together.
He did not arrange for Wei Wuji to participate in this trip to the Two Realms Mountains because there were more important matters that needed him to deal with. Yang Hua and Ling Ruoxue were naturally the first disciples of the First Elder and the Third Elder. As for Yi Xifeng and He Buchi,
I heard that these two people are very close to Yang Hua and others on weekdays.
It can be speculated that the four of them must have discussed the top four rankings in private.
…………
"Today's Dao Promotion Conference is over. The people who have been promoted to the top four are inner disciples Yang Hua and Ling Ruoxue, and outer disciple Li Chengtao. Why not be late."
The four people from Yang Hua walked to the martial arts stage one by one, with different expressions on their faces.
Yang Hua laughed loudly, Ling Ruoxue was as cold as ice, Yi Xifeng smiled slightly, why not shout loudly.
"Brothers and sisters, if you have money, please support yourself, and if you don't have money, please support yourself. It doesn't take too much, just have some." Why not raise your arms and shout in a classic manner.
At this time, an egg flew from nowhere and hit He Buchi. The young man in a long gown raised his left hand and caught it steadily.
"Thanks to this big brother for sending me a raw egg."
Yi Xifeng was taken aback. He didn't expect that He Buchi could react so quickly and control his strength so steadily. Why did this sentence sound so like what those internet celebrities said on earth?
When the audience saw Yi Xifeng's cultivation level, it could be described as an explosion.
"Holy shit, even a person from the Qi Realm can make it into the top four?"
"I am a body-refining warrior, why can't I be in the top four? Do you look down on me?"
"I think he has a sore nose because he didn't make the top four." One person said sarcastically.
"Don't look down on others just because they have a small number of body-training warriors. This is prejudice on your part."
The Zhenwu Hall has inherited the inheritance of the Zhenwu Dao Hall, so most of the people here are Qi-refining monks, but some people are unable to practice Qi due to innate deficiencies, so they have to practice physical training.
In the past, the disciples who went to the Two Realms Mountain would inevitably bring back some body training techniques, and most of them were fragments of scrolls and the like. They had no promotion channels, so these body training warriors were basically at the bottom of the Zhenwu Hall.
This was the first time they had seen such a powerful body-refining warrior like Yi Xifeng.
In the southwest corner of the martial arts stage, a pair of eyes was watching them.
…………
After everyone dispersed, Yi Xifeng and the others came to the familiar bamboo forest path again.
"Who do you think I can draw in the first game?" He Buchi said, chewing on the duck leg.
"Is there any difference?" Yang Hua asked while chewing on the duck wings.
"Of course, I can act more natural when fighting you." Why not reply later.
"You can't beat me if you don't act." Yang Hua chuckled.
"This duck meat is so-so, why didn't you buy roast chicken?" Yi Xifeng asked, chewing on the duck head.
"The shopkeeper said they're sold out." Why not reply later.
"As soon as the top four were announced, the shopkeeper changed the name of his roast chicken to Zhuangyuan Chicken, and spread the news that the three of you were only in the top four by eating his chicken. Then, all his chickens were robbed
, There used to be three Bai Lingzhu for each, but now there are ten for each." Ling Ruoxue said coldly.
Yi Xifeng, Yang Hua, He Buzi: "…………"
"Damn, profiteer!" Yang Hua said excitedly.
"Bah, that's too despicable!" He Buchi spat.
"I want to ask him for advertising fees!" Yi Xifeng said angrily.
Yang Hua and the three of them looked at the fair young man.
"Uh~ It means sharing the spirit beads."
Yang Hua and the other three nodded and suddenly realized: "Oh~~"
…………
Early the next morning, Yi Xifeng and the others headed towards the martial arts stage.
The fair young man saw that Yang Hua looked very excited today and giggled from time to time, so he asked casually:
"Senior Brother Yang, why are you so happy?"
Yang Hua shook the sword in his hand nervously and replied:
"Did you see that my master got me a new sword called 'Liu Feng', haha, I'm jealous."
At this time, Ling Ruoxue said calmly: "His master got this from my master."
Yang Hua's laughter stopped suddenly and he replied: "It's impossible. My master said in the letter that he got it with a lot of effort."
Ling Ruoxue glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes, I begged my master for a long time to get it."
Yang Hua opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot.
Yi Xifeng smiled slightly, said nothing, just patted him on the shoulder, and then walked forward.
He Buchi, who was walking at the front, didn't hear the conversation of several people. When he saw Yang Hua was stunned, he asked doubtfully:
"Senior Brother Yang, what's going on?"
Yi Xifeng smiled slightly again and replied politely: "Maybe he can't accept the magic of reality. Let him be autistic for a while."
He Bu Chi: "Oh~"
…………
When several people came to the martial arts stage, they saw He Buchi excitedly running to the disciple who had drawn the card before and said:
"Hurry, hurry, I'm here to draw numbers."
The man was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Well, there's no need to smoke today, the four of you are fighting in a melee."
Yi Xifeng and the three of them turned around together with a tacit understanding, turned around and walked quietly towards the ring.
Why Buchi leaned on the table with his right hand, tilted his head and squinted his eyes and asked: "Brother, are you fooling me?"
The man said helplessly: "If you don't believe it, look, Senior Brother Yang Hua and the others are already on the stage."
Why didn't he look back later and found that the three people were not behind him? When he looked up again, he saw that the three people had already walked to the ring. Only then did he realize that he had been "betrayed".
"Damn it, you knew it in advance and didn't inform me."
Afterwards, He Buchi ran towards the ring and quickly caught up with him.
At this time, many people in the audience praised him.
"I didn't expect that this last scene was actually a melee!"
"It's so exciting, it's really exciting."
"Wuhu!"
…………
Why not stand on the stage and start shouting:
"My master's sword has been polished to a crisp. Which of you will come first?"
I saw Ling Ruoxue and Yang Hua retreating behind each other in a tacit understanding. Their attitude was very obvious: you two are the losers, you fight first.
Yi Xifeng smiled bitterly. He had to admit that he really couldn't beat these two people now.
He Buchi said nonchalantly: "Come on, Junior Brother Li, let's have a good fight!" After saying that, he drew out the three-foot soft sword from his waist.
The fair young man did not hesitate and directly pulled out the Night Sword Hanxing. Once it came to battle, Yi Xifeng would show a solemn expression. He Buchi's swordsmanship was more feminine, so he must take it seriously.
As soon as the scene started, He Buchi was coiling around like a snake. The soft sword was like a snake's head in his hand, looking for opportunities to attack while staring at Yi Xifeng.
In Yi Xifeng's eyes, He Buchi's steps were too weird. He could see his figure flickering left and right, making his whereabouts elusive. The soft sword was also floating and quickly moved closer to the fair young man.
"He Bu Chi's swordsmanship makes people's hair stand on end every time they watch it."
"This swordsmanship is too weird."
"Not only is it weird, it's also poisonous."
"It's a pity that none of his moves are related to Zhenwutang."
In the audience, everyone had mixed opinions about He Buchi's attitude. The reason was simply because of his identity, and it was inevitable that he would be ostracized by some people.
"watch out!"
He Buchi held the Changqu soft sword in his hand, suddenly emerged from a tricky corner and stabbed the fair young man.
Yi Xifeng suddenly noticed the sword intent coming from behind, and saw him slashing backwards with the Night Sword Hanxing in his hand, trying to block the soft sword's attack.
However, the sound of metal collision did not sound, and the Changqu soft sword in He Buchi's hand actually bent at an incredible degree, directly bypassing the black sword, and continued to stab him.
Yi Xifeng's pupils shrank, his steps changed rapidly, and then he suddenly stepped back, barely able to avoid the sword.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no one else has such reaction speed as Junior Brother Li. He can dodge this." Why didn't he see that he missed with one blow, instead of attacking again, he started chatting instead.
Yi Xifeng recalled that the blow just now should be the "golden surround" among the seven swords of Sheluan!
He once chatted with Yang Hua in private. His father was a casual cultivator at sea, and his mother was a disciple of the Zhenwu Hall. The family was originally harmonious, but suddenly one day, the three of them were attacked at sea. Only He Buchi survived.
Then He Buchi drifted on the sea until one day the third elder who was hunting at sea met him and rescued him, and then brought him back to Zhenwu Hall. The third elder thought that he was a descendant of a disciple of Zhenwu Hall, so he gave him
The identity of an outer disciple.
Since He Buchi's sword skills had nothing to do with the Zhenwu Hall, he would inevitably be ostracized, so he went to the bamboo forest path outside the hall and opened a small Taoist temple by himself. From then on, He Buchi rarely appeared
In the public eye.
After all, Yang Hua is the chief disciple of the third elder. He and He Buchi have known each other since they were on the boat. Yang Hua's carefree personality and He Buchi chatted very happily. After that, the two became friends, while He Buchi was a carefree person.
His personality was somewhat influenced by Yang Hua.
It was hard for Yi Xifeng to imagine that a person who had no father or mother since he was a child could practice to such an extent just by relying on the secrets of martial arts left by his father. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a genius.
He Buchi's snake-shaped inner energy was running rapidly in his body, and he shook the soft sword in his hand and said:
"Junior Brother Li takes another move from me, Snake Flash!"
