In addition, Lu Chen also noticed that there were many luxurious and elegant high-rise boats docked around the West Lake, and there were many figures standing in twos and threes on the decks.
Among them was a building boat, which belonged to the Liuyun Sword Sect. The two elders, Shangguan Qingyi and Xu Zongtang, were looking towards the arena in the center of the lake with their disciples, paying close attention to every move here.
In addition, Lu Chen also saw the innate elders from Xuanyin Pavilion and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain standing on the boat, watching the game with focused expressions.
Obviously, these buildings and ships come from the eight major sects and the six major forces. After all, this is a grand gathering for the whole world, and it is about the sect’s face. How could such a lively occasion be without them? Hongye Zhai, as the host, will naturally arrange it
Good everything.
Not far from the lake, on the ridge of a towering attic, a figure was sitting. He was dressed in a shabby green robe, his whole body was sloppy, his face was red, and he was looking at the arena in the middle of the lake with emotion.
Many figures fighting!&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Oh, Yangzhou is really lively today, there are so many people!"
"I saw this guy Lu Chen again! I didn't expect him to be on the Hidden Dragon List. It's interesting!"
"I didn't misjudge him back then. This kid is not simple! I haven't seen him for half a year, but he has grown so fast!"
"It's a pity that this Qianlong Competition is only contested by young people!"
"If I were twenty or thirty years younger, I wouldn't be able to deal with these little bastards!"
Duguxia took the wine gourd he carried with him and drank sip after sip. He peeled peanuts in his hand, smelled of alcohol in his mouth, and muttered to himself, how happy his life was.
Looking back on the days when he was young, frivolous and high-spirited, and then looking at these passionate young people in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh!
The time when he was young and vigorous has passed. Now, for him, the happiest thing in his life is to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, see all the prosperity of the world, and be a carefree person.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Therefore, wherever there is excitement in the land of Kyushu, he will be there, enjoying the days of playing in the world.
Time passed like water, and the competition in this arena continued. The battles between many geniuses were very exciting and eye-catching. After rounds of fierce battles and turns of fighting, many geniuses were eliminated in less than a while.
Children.
After all, although one hundred and eight geniuses have the strength to be on the Qianlong Ranking, it does not mean that everyone has the same level of strength.
For example, Beitang Ao, Li Mengjun and other famous geniuses, with their strength, can completely defeat the enemy with one move, and the winner can be determined in the blink of an eye, so this round is over in half a stick of incense time.
!
The Hidden Dragon List is the most valuable list in the land of Kyushu to measure the strength of geniuses. The greater your reputation, the more powerful you are.
&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Every fight ends, some are happy and some are sad!
Only the applause on both sides of the lakeshore continued, like waves, and the cheers continued.
Soon it was Lu Chen's turn to play. He jumped up, like a big bird crossing the lake, and landed gracefully on one of the arenas.
This scene attracted many people's applause.
His opponent was a young man with a scar, wearing a short shirt and carrying a long black knife on his back. His whole person exuded a fierce aura.
Hu Wenqing stared at the young man in blue robe not far away, a thin stream of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his sharp eyes showed a sense of fear, and he looked very nervous.
Why is he nervous?
Because his opponent was Lu Chen, a genius who rose to fame in the knockout rounds. According to the description of Hongye Zhaimen, this person knocked Guan Zhen away with one sword while competing for the golden token on the island!&1t;i>&1t;
/i>
Guan Zhen is a proud man carefully cultivated by Hell Gate. He is ranked eighth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. His strength is unquestionable.
Even such a fierce man was knocked away by the sword of the young man in front of him, let alone him. Hu Wenqing knew how much he weighed.
Standing on the ring, Lu Chen looked at the opponent with an indifferent expression and said, "You should strike first! Otherwise, you will have no chance!"
These words may sound arrogant and harsh, but in Hu Wenqing's opinion, Lu Chen has given him a lot of respect.
If the opponent takes the lead and strikes with all his strength, knocking him away with one sword, and everyone in the world is watching, you can imagine how embarrassing the scene would be!
He knew in his heart that he and Lu Chen were not at the same level at all!
"Hu Wenqing, from Xuzhou Iron Knife Gate, please give me some advice!" Hu Wenqing cupped his fists and saluted, and with a sound of "Clang!", he pulled out the long knife from behind.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Jianzong, Lu Chen!" Lu Chen also pulled out the Xuanqing heavy sword behind him and smashed it on the ground at will. With a loud bang, the arena that even the peak warriors of the day after tomorrow were destroyed, and several clear cracks were instantly created by his sword.
.
When Hu Wenqing saw this scene, his eyebrows twitched, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. He held the black long knife, roared hard, and rushed towards Lu Chen like lightning.
He knew in his heart that his momentum had been completely suppressed by the opponent. If he didn't take action, he would have no choice but to surrender and admit defeat, which would mean that he would lose the opportunity to become famous.
Geniuses who can be on the Hidden Dragon List all have a firm heart, and how can they back down so easily?
Hu Wenqing suddenly jumped up and struck Lu Chen with a lightning-like knife.
Lu Chen's expression was as indifferent as water, his eyes reflected the black long knife that was slashing at him, as if he had seen through the trajectory of the attack. He leaned to the side, putting his shoulder against the blade to avoid it cleverly. Seeing this, Hu Wenqing turned the long knife and switched to slashing.
In order to cut it, he glanced at Lu Chen's neck.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
"Qiang!" Sparks flew everywhere, and the Xuanqing heavy sword instantly blocked Hu Wenqing's vicious black long sword.
"The sword skills are good, but it's a pity that they are not fast enough!" Lu Chen commented.
Hu Wenqing gritted his teeth, turned around with his sword drawn, and struck the opponent's lower body like lightning.
Lu Chen tapped the ground lightly, retreated ten feet, and neutralized the opponent's attack with ease. He looked at the opponent and said: "You have so little strength, so you really disappoint me!"
Hearing these seemingly sarcastic words, Hu Wenqing's face turned red. Before the other party could make a move, he forced himself to the point of no return. Moreover, he still had the energy to evaluate his own sword skills during the fight, which made him appear to be quite at ease.
Could it be that this is the gap between geniuses?
But it is absolutely impossible for him to surrender in front of the whole world.
"Watch me try this move!" Hu Wenqing's muscles bulged, his eyes flashed with a trace of ferocity, his whole figure flashed, and then drew a strange arc, and instantly passed in front of Lu Chen and slashed with his knife, forming
Three vague knife shadows.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Among these three sword shadows, only one real sword light struck Lu Chen's head, and the rest were all illusions.
Hu Wenqing's signature skill, three sword strikes every day!
When Lu Chen saw this scene, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "This guy also knows this kind of sword technique, which is somewhat similar to the 'Nine Swords of Lingxu' in "Shadow Dance Fantasy Sword Technique", but it's a pity that it's still lacking."
Light the fire!"
Brush, the sword light lit up, and passed through Lu Chen's head in an instant, but no blood was seen flowing out!
The figure in front of me quietly dissipated. After a closer look, it turned out to be just a phantom, and the person was no longer where he was!
The opponent's terrifying speed shocked Hu Wenqing. In vain, there was a sound of wind behind him, followed by a powerful and heavy sword that was magnified in his squinting eyes.
Hu Wenqing felt horrified, spun his feet suddenly, turned around and blocked with his sword!&1t;i>&1t;/i>
However, the moment his sword collided with Lu Chen's Xuanqing heavy sword, he instantly felt an indescribable terrifying force passing through his arms and impacting his entire body.
With a muffled sound of "Peng!", Hu Wenqing instantly flew away like a cannonball and fell to the edge of the ring, with blood slowly flowing out of the corner of his mouth.
The water on the lake was rippling, Lu Chen's clothes were fluttering, and he stood in the center of the ring holding a mysterious blue epee. He looked down at Hu Wenqing and said indifferently: "Do you want to continue?"
Hu Wenqing smiled bitterly when he heard this. He grabbed the long knife and inserted it into the ground, stood up quickly, and said to Lu Chen with awe: "I admit defeat, I am convinced!"
It was useless for Lu Chen to give him a chance. There was nothing he could do. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how high his skills were, it was a joke.
Regarding this point, Hu Wenqing knew very well that he had not lost unfairly. There was no point in continuing the contest, it was just humiliating himself.&1t;i>&1t;/i>
However, he was willing to lose to Lu Chen. After all, the opponent respected him from the beginning to the end. He did not rely on his background to arrogantly rely on his talents and embarrass him in front of the whole world like other geniuses!
"Your sword skills are very good. If you practice hard, you will achieve great results in the future!" Lu Chen put away the Xuanqing heavy sword and said with a smile.
"Thanks for the advice, I'm very grateful!" Hu Wenqing was very excited when he heard Lu Chen's comments. He repeatedly clasped his fists to express his thanks. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is the style of a master!
After Hu Wenqing was defeated, he turned around and left without any attachment.
Looking at the back of the opponent as he jumped up, Lu Chen secretly sighed: "This young man named Hu Wenqing is very talented. He can actually understand such a sword technique. He has made some progress in his skills. In time, he should have the opportunity to touch it."
The threshold of Tao'!"
After seeing Hu Wenqing's sword skills, Lu Chen felt a kind of inner appreciation. There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, but only the teachings of famous teachers!
Millions of spectators on both sides of the West Lake burst into thunderous applause when they saw Lu Chen knocking Hu Wenqing away with one sword.
That sword strike just now was too fast and too domineering.
Before many people could see what was going on, Hu Wenqing flew out. The difference in strength was obvious.
Lu Chen's battle also attracted the attention of many geniuses, especially the elite disciples of the eight major sects. Lu Chen's strength made them increasingly opaque.
Facing the scorching eyes, Lu Chen was unfazed by this. His heart felt calm, he turned and flew away from the ring, jumped onto the boat quickly, and watched the competition on the ring in the middle of the lake with a calm expression.
