Chapter 398 The genius of the Tang family, the symbol of the military! (2-in-1)
The preparations are ready, and the entire barren rock valley stretching for dozens of miles is the stage for deciding the position of commander.
A military official stirred up the strong energy in his body and loudly informed the two men of the first battle.
Hearing the name being called, Song Changming was stunned and looked to his side.
Yang Zhen's face was calm and as condensed as water.
"The first battle, the 41st Army Yang Zhen and the 1st Army Tang Leshan."
As the official finished speaking, most people's attention subconsciously turned to the Tang family's genius.
They may not know who Yang Zhen is, but they must know who Tang Leshan is.
"The person named Yang Zhen is unlucky to bump into this Tang family member in the first battle."
"Yes, in this way, we won't be able to meet Tang Leshan in the first round."
"If possible, I still hope to get through a few more rounds, but I don't want to encounter an opponent that is difficult to defeat"
Among the few people, Tang Leshan looked as usual. He calmly flew away from the stone peak, came to the valley and stood in the sky.
The cold wind blew through the air, causing the flag master's cloak behind him to flutter.
"Brother Yang, hold on as long as possible. As long as you perform well enough, you can stay on this military list next time." Xu Yuan couldn't help but remind him from the side.
Obviously, in his opinion, Yang Zhen's defeat is almost inevitable.
After all, the opponent is Tang Leshan.
In terms of overall strength, the opponent is enough to rank among the top three among the small flag masters.
If he remembered correctly, Tang Leshan had opened up the ninth martial arteries a few years ago!
Now I am afraid that we are not far away from the final state of innate perfection.
He possesses the incandescent divine thunder, and has just had the possibility to challenge over the next level, but Yang Zhen has nothing, and he is considered outstanding among all the small flag masters for having opened up eight martial veins.
But if you put them among the sixteen little flag masters, it would be ordinary.
It can be said that those who have not opened the Eight Paths of Martial Arts have no chance of coming to this valley to stand for election.
Song Changming is the only exception.
"There is no reason to lose before fighting. Even if your cultivation level is not as good as the opponent's, you still have a chance to win." Song Changming said before Yang Zhen left.
"What I'm saying is, regardless of victory or defeat, you should go all out." Yang Zhen nodded.
If even he had already determined that he would definitely lose before the battle, how could he show his full strength?
Fighting mentality is also part of the overall strength.
After saying that, Yang Zhen rose into the air and came to Tang Leshan.
"Brother Song would still say these words of encouragement before the war." Xu Yuan said with a smile.
"You didn't speak like a human being." Song Changming said calmly.
"."
"Forty-one Army, Yang Zhen." Yang Zhen handed over his hand.
Tang Leshan looked at the opponent in front of him calmly, with no emotion on his face.
"First Army, Tang Leshan."
The First Army was the first army to follow King Cui in his expeditions to the east and north.
His achievements and historical status have long been compiled into books for local people to admire and for local students to study.
Half of the folk songs are the first army of praise.
In terms of popularity to the outside world, the First Army, due to its special nature, almost surpasses the rest of the Cui Banner Army combined. It is like a totem and a symbol of the entire Cui Banner Army!
Because of this reputation, all the officers and soldiers in the military department know that there are no weaklings in the First Army!
To be able to hold the position of small flag leader in the First Army, one must have extremely strong strength, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public!
Many people believe that Tang Leshan must be the one who wins the command, partly because he comes from the First Army!
This identity is like a heavy mountain, weighing on the hearts of every small flag owner who competes with it.
Yang Zhen was no exception. He took a deep breath, tried his best to put aside distracting thoughts, drew out his spear, and the gang energy emerged from his body, turning into an unstoppable gun aura!
On the other side, Tang Leshan pulled out an extraordinary sword from his waist, his sword intent aroused.
"Sure enough, he has opened up the nine martial arts veins, this guy." Xu Yuan saw Tang Leshan's true cultivation level at a glance, and began to evaluate his chances of winning if he faced him.
"Brother Yang, please." Tang Leshan still didn't look nervous at all.
"Please!" After Yang Zhen finished speaking, the two of them disappeared from the place almost at the same time.
The indomitable gun energy and the flashing sword energy collided in the air, causing a huge sound.
The energy was roaring, as if it was about to sweep across the entire valley.
When it hit the edge of the valley, it was isolated and absorbed by the huge talisman light film and did not spread further.
With one blow, Yang Zhen's figure appeared in the sword energy and was knocked backwards for several miles.
On the other hand, Tang Leshan still looked calm and composed. He stood on the same spot and seemed to have smashed Yang Zhen's gun Qi head-on without even using his full strength.
With just this frontal attack, the gap in strength between them was clearly revealed.
The next moment, the two sides fought together again.
This time Yang Zhen no longer used short attacks to attack his strengths, but began to avoid his sharp edges and fight in circles, like a cheetah, waiting for the opportunity to move, looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.
Tang Leshan, on the other hand, is like a majestic lion, with its own kingly domineering presence, immobile as a mountain.
After a few rounds, Tang Leshan swung his sword. Yang Zhen had no time to dodge, and the sword energy was broken and he was injured.
It has to be said that Tang Leshan is indeed strong enough. For most small flag owners, the huge gap between his level of strength is enough to make those small flag owners feel desperate.
From beginning to end, Yang Zhen never threatened Tang Leshan, or even forced him to take it seriously.
"You are no match for me, give up." Tang Leshan couldn't help but said when he saw that Yang Zhen was still injured and still refused to retreat.
"Brother Tang's kindness, I accept it with my heart." After Yang Zhen said that, he moved and rushed towards the opponent in front of him again.
He told the other party with practical actions that he did not intend to give up.
Seeing this, Tang Leshan felt impatient. He raised his hand and swung his sword with greater force, intending to seriously injure Yang Zhen, who was overestimating his abilities.
However, when the long sword swung down, Yang Zhen suddenly increased his speed. Not only did he avoid the sword, he also fired back with his gun.
This shot touched Yang Zhen's soul, as if a man and a gun were united. The gun's light reached its peak in an instant and hit Tang Leshan.
boom!
The gun light exploded, and the extremely condensed gun energy instantly swallowed up a small space of more than ten meters in radius.
"No way"
No one really thought that Yang Zhen could win this battle, but the blow just now shocked the onlookers, thinking that Tang Leshan was going to lose.
"Good guy, this shot is more powerful than any previous shot. It turns out that Brother Yang has been showing weakness just now, even at the cost of getting himself injured, just so that this shot can determine the outcome in one fell swoop.
A battle between the lower and the upper should indeed be like this. If Tang Leshan takes it lightly, he might actually lose! "Xu Yuan couldn't help but admire.
He is also an expert with guns, and it can be seen how long Yang Zhen has been preparing for this shot.
As Song Changming said before the start, hard power in cultivation is one aspect, and the factor that truly determines victory or defeat is never pure hard power.
Yang Zhen created an opportunity for himself to reverse the defeat.
After hitting this shot, regardless of victory or defeat, he has won the respect of everyone.
After the gun gas exploded, smoke and dust scattered in all directions, revealing Tang Leshan's figure.
At this moment, Tang Leshan's face was gloomy.
Holding the tip of Yang Zhen's gun with one hand, he wiped his cheek with the other.
On it, there was a bloodstain five or six centimeters long, dripping blood. "You" Tang Leshan no longer had the initial calmness, and his anger was clearly rising.
It can be seen that he is very concerned about his disfigurement, and he is even more concerned about being hurt by someone he considers weak in public.
He can't accept it!
A dazzling sword energy suddenly erupted, and Yang Zhen was caught off guard and knocked down, collapsing a stone peak on which the flag lord was standing.
The next moment, Tang Leshan came in pursuit with monstrous sword energy. His eyes were cold and he had murderous intentions. His sword was merciless and wanted to pierce Yang Zhen's body and severely injure him.
"That's enough." Above, the official's expression changed and he wanted to stop.
This is not a life or death fight by any means.
His mission is to control the situation, at least without killing anyone!
At the moment, he was really worried that Tang Leshan would accidentally kill Yang Zhen by mistake.
However, Tang Leshan moved very quickly. When he made a sound, Tang Leshan's sword was already pressed against Yang Zhen's chest.
The sword edge pierced the armor and still didn't stop!
At this moment, a purple-gold wind and thunder shadow appeared in front of Tang Leshan as if it flashed.
"Huh?!" Tang Leshan was also shocked.
He was shocked that the speed of the person in front of him was so fast that he had no time to sense and capture the other person, and the other person just appeared in front of him.
Song Changming's raised hand was also filled with thunder and fire, and he grabbed Tang Leshan's sword-holding hand.
The huge force came, making it difficult for Tang Leshan's sword to advance even an inch.
"Changming." Yang Zhen fell to the ground and naturally saw clearly that it was Song Changming who had just helped him.
On his chest, the armor pieces shattered to the ground, and drops of blood seeped out from the flesh of his chest one by one.
If Song Changming hadn't taken action just in time, he might have been seriously injured by the rioting Tang Leshan who pierced his chest with a sword.
"Stop!" The official appeared in front of Song Changming and Tang Leshan a second later, with a warning on his face.
Song Changming let go of his hand first and stepped back.
Tang Leshan stood there, staring closely at Song Changming who was retreating, and then looked at Song Changming's intact right hand.
Is it okay to catch his sword with bare hands?
"Tang Leshan wins this battle." Seeing that all three of them were fine, the official breathed a sigh of relief and announced the result.
After Yang Zhen's shot failed to turn the tide of the battle, he was actually defeated.
As for what happened next, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Tang Leshan was a little over the top.
For a time, the remaining flag owners all had other opinions about Tang Leshan.
This person's identity as the leader of the First Army Flag and his dazzling aura of genius seemed nothing remarkable.
People who lose control of their emotions easily will always be looked down upon.
Although Tang Leshan won the first battle, there was no look of relief on his face.
He took a deep look at Song Changming and then bowed to the official to apologize.
"I was rude just now. I didn't think well. I was too involved in the game. I'm sorry for causing trouble."
When the official saw that Hu Zhong did not express his position, he waved his hand and said: "I remind you again that this is not a life and death fight between you, so you must pay attention to propriety."
After saying that, he took another deep look at Tang Leshan.
"This will never happen again."
Tang Leshan responded and then retreated.
The official then reminded Song Changming not to interfere in other people's games without authorization.
But the words are not serious.
After all, he also knew that if Song Changming hadn't stopped Tang Leshan in time, Yang Zhen's situation at that time would most likely have been severely damaged.
Song Changming didn't say anything and simply stepped aside.
"Brother Yang, how are you?"
Yang Zhen shook his head. At this moment, he had recovered. Although he was injured, thanks to Song Changming, the injury was not serious.
"Brother Song, you just..." Xu Yuan looked at Song Changming, a little surprised.
"You just caught Tang Leshan's sword?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to make a grasping gesture, replicating what Song Changming had just done.
"It's just rough skin and thick flesh." Song Changming said casually.
"As expected of you." Xu Yuan knew that Song Changming was physically powerful, but this guy just grabbed the sword with his bare hands, which still shocked him.
After all, it was not someone else's sword, but a sword thrust out by Tang Leshan in anger. One can imagine its power.
"Maybe it's possible that Tang Leshan gave up his strength in the end." Xu Yuan comforted himself in his heart.
In fact, not only him, but also other people at the scene saw Song Changming's inadvertent behavior, and couldn't help but pay attention to Song Changming, who had been keeping a low profile next to Xu Yuan.
It wasn't until the second duel began that everyone's attention fell on the competition again.
The second game ended equally quickly, but Na Yu Ruizhi won easily after more than ten rounds.
"This person." Song Changming saw some clues from Yu Ruizhi, whose limbs were too wide and long.
"Yu Ruizhi, the little flag leader of the Third Army. It is said that this person has part of the ape demon blood. He has a miserable life experience and has no father or mother. He was picked up from the wild." This time it was introduced by Xu Yuan.
"No wonder." Song Changming understood clearly.
The feeling he was just familiar with came from this.
He sensed the half-human, half-demon form from Su Qingqing.
Judging from the characteristics of the demon clan, the little banner leader of the third army is more obvious.
And this person's strength lies in this part of the demon bloodline, which gives him superb agility and burst of power. His physical body is also stronger than many small banner masters in the same realm.
Of course, overall, this person still has the majority of human blood, so he can practice Qi refining normally.
That part of the demon clan's bloodline cannot affect the position of other clans, otherwise the military would not be able to let him run for this important position of commander-in-chief.
After that, in the third group, it was still a quick victory.
"Winning by Zhao Jingzhuo."
"A descendant of the Zhao family." Song Changming looked at this person twice because of his surname.
"As far as I know, this person is not only a member of the Zhao family, but also the brother of the commander-in-chief of the 19th Army who died in the previous battle." Yang Zhen shared the information from his investigation.
"Hey, Brother Yang, you have investigated everything clearly." Xu Yuan on the side exclaimed.
"There's nothing we can do," Yang Zhen said helplessly.
He is not really a know-it-all, he is just thoughtful and habitually pursues perfection in his actions.
The grudge with Zhao made him subconsciously investigate Zhao's inside and outside information.
In particular, these members of the Zhao family who are in the military are the targets of his investigation.
This time the other party appeared in the competition for the leadership position, which instantly made him alert.
