Chapter 68 The Knife
The sky was dim and thick dark clouds gathered together.
Along with the roaring thunder, a rare heavy rain finally fell in the hot and hot summer.
Crash!
Shengtian, Chiming Street.
A carriage hurriedly drove against the heavy rain. The rolling wheels rolled away the water on the ground and left the city without any hindrance.
Looking closely, the face of the groom, who was wearing a hat and raincoat, looked quite unnatural, and he seemed to be a little nervous.
There is no other reason, except that in addition to a person sitting in the carriage, there is also a tiger.
Although the tiger was young, it already had some power, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
The tiger and the leopard's horse are not written down, but they have the spirit of eating cows!
"Master, don't be nervous, my tiger won't hurt anyone."
A long voice came from the carriage, calming the groom's slightly anxious heart.
The person in the carriage was naturally Li Qing, who went to Qingzhou to return the Ancient Mysterious Hammer to Master Gu’s family.
Regardless of whether we can find Master Gu’s family on this trip, at least we still have to go on this trip. After all, it is something we agreed to.
In this way, the carriage drove out of the North City Gate and continued to go north.
At the same time, Shengtian City.
In the newly established Maple Guard Gate, the Maple Guards who had just joined stood in a circle under the eaves around the martial arts stage in front.
The heavy rain splashed on the stage, but it could not extinguish the fire in everyone's heart, and their eyes contained expectation.
“For the top three in this school exam, it seems that in addition to being rewarded with silver, they can also get guidance from several commanders.”
“Forget it, I won’t consider it. My martial arts skills If you are low, it will be embarrassing if you go up.”
"Oh, that's right. This stage is just for those Fengwei who have stepped into the level of external strength."
"Damn it, I have been practicing martial arts for many years, why haven't I done it yet? It’s time to develop your strength!”
“.”
That’s right, a small competition is being held to determine the strength of the newly formed Kaedeemon.
And Xiao Bi’s reward also made many people envious and geared up.
But there are also some warriors who have mediocre talents and have never stepped into the external strength. They are very unhappy. Those warriors who can get the top three in the small competition are already very strong. If they get the guidance of several internal strength masters, they will not be strong forever. Is it strong?
In this case, they will never be able to surpass the top few warriors in their entire lives.
Of course, there are some people who see things more clearly.
“Haha, this is Kaedeemon, and it’s not a house game played by children.”
“Isn’t it normal for the strong to always be strong? Doesn’t it take a few internal forces to lead the way? Wasting time giving advice to a brute force warrior with mediocre talent? ”
"That's right. After entering here, you should understand that you can live with your head in your belt."
The personnel of Maple Guard are composed of a large part of Jianghu Caoman and a small part of Congwu Lijun. People who were transferred.
There is no doubt that both of them are people who often lick blood from the tip of a knife, but the latter is obviously more transparent.
Soon, a rickety figure holding a black oil-paper umbrella stepped out and leaped to the middle of the martial arts stage in a few seconds.
If Li Qing were here, he would definitely be able to recognize him at a glance. Isn’t this the Captain Guo Zhentong whom he had met once in the frontier army?
At that time, when Li Qing was standing in front of the ancient master's grave, the old man came over with a jug of wine to worship, which left a deep impression on him.
As soon as Guo Zhentong appeared, the surrounding area immediately became quiet.
He held up a black oil-paper umbrella and said in a slightly hoarse old voice: "The rules of this martial arts performance are also very simple. Basically, everyone present is a warrior who is good at using weapons. For the sake of maximum Use your strength to the maximum extent, don’t be afraid of weapons in this martial arts performance!”
“If you are practicing boxing and kicking, you can bring an armor to the stage.”
“But there is one thing to note, after all, go to the stage. In the end, we are all colleagues who work together. Although the sword has no eyes, the wielder has a heart.”
"No dead blows are allowed in this competition, and we should try our best to avoid useless hands and feet!"
As Guo Zhentong finished speaking, people in the audience began to whisper again.
"I can't help but use weapons. It seems that Kaedeemon is serious about it."
"What if I get seriously injured? Once I get a red eye."
“Don’t worry, as long as your arms and legs are not broken, you can be revived with just one breath.”
"That's what makes it interesting. If I can't use the sword, my strength will be greatly reduced."
"." Soon, after announcing the rules of this martial arts competition, Guo Zhentong also jumped off the martial arts stage, and came Arriving at a pavilion.
In addition to Guo Zhentong, there were two other people sitting in the pavilion, a man and a woman.
The man has a very elegant temperament and a fair face, like a scholar.
The woman, on the other hand, is wearing a red dress and has a heroic appearance. Her beautiful eyebrows are not as soft as those of ordinary women, but are full of heroic spirit.
She wore a ponytail hanging down behind her, and her tight waist highlighted her beautiful figure.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Guo. I can see that you are quite famous among this group of warriors." The elegant man in white said.
Guo Zhentong waved his hand indifferently. He picked up the wine gourd at his waist and drank while saying: "It's all just a false reputation. Now when it comes to reputation, it's still the Qinghong Heroine led by Qian. The name should be louder!”
Yes, the woman in red is Qian Hong. Due to the pressure from her family, she was forced to leave Wu Lijun and now she has returned to the imperial capital in Fengweimen. hold office.
Qian Hong rolled her eyes at Guo Zhentong, who looked like an old naughty boy, and said in a neutral tone: "Let's start quickly. In my opinion, this kind of competition is a waste of time. Is there any good guidance?"
Guo Zhentong burst out laughing, and he said: "You can't say that. Those who can enter Maple Guard Gate are all good ones."
"Although they are all powerful warriors, after all, Not everyone can compare with your talent. It really makes me feel ashamed to have reached the level of inner strength in my twenties."
"I am just lucky, little girl. In terms of strength alone. , I'm afraid I can't beat you, Mr. Guo," Qian Hong said with the corners of his mouth rising slowly.
"It's too modest, too modest. Judging from your age, you can be a master in the future." Mr. Guo said with emotion.
The elegant man listened to the conversation between the two and just smiled without saying a word.
While a few people were chatting, the competition had already begun.
It has to be said that those who can enter Maple Guard Gate as errands do have something worthy of praise, and they are by no means mere tricks.
Unfortunately, it was still a bit too boring for the three internally powerful masters watching in the pavilion.
"Well, that's right. The boy named Zhong Ming looks so skinny, but he's actually good at using a meteor hammer."
"For a while, I remembered that this young man named Wang Fugui was only around sixteen years old. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, a master of external strength at this age is really not easy."
"."
Inside the pavilion , Old Man Guo commented on the situation on the field with gusto while drinking wine.
On the other hand, Qian Hong could not comment on this. He never said another word from beginning to end, and just watched everything indifferently.
Soon, halfway through the competition, a rather burly, even exaggeratedly strong man stepped onto the martial arts stage.
He is tall and big, as strong as an ox. Just standing there can give people a strong and oppressive feeling.
As soon as this person took the stage, the surroundings were obviously quiet for a while.
The next moment, his opponent also stepped onto the stage. He was also a strong man, but compared with the figure of the man in front of him, there was still a big gap.
"Hey, Zhao Yuan? I know you are not the boss of Gufeng Street, so why did you come to Maple Guard Gate as an errand?"
Zhao Yuan was a man of few words, and he was silent. After a while, he said: "It's none of your business."
As soon as he said this, the strong man opposite him suddenly turned as red as a pig's liver.
"Okay, okay, I want to see if the big knife behind your back is just a show." The man said angrily.
The next moment, a man holding two full-moon scimitars rushed directly towards Zhao Yuan.
The rain was still heavy, and the sound of footsteps was drowned out.
But Zhao Yuan stared directly at the man rushing over, and then touched the big knife on his back with one hand.
Just when the man rushed in front of him, the strength in his body began to surge like a river.
Buzz!
Between the rain curtain, a bright sword light flashed away.
Whoosh!
This knife seemed to cut through the falling raindrops, and the opponent who was also an external warrior in front of Zhao Yuan was slashed away in a daze.
Not only that, but accompanying him as he flew out were several broken blades and a pool of scarlet blood.
Looking at this scene, everyone present became silent.
Even the three commanders in Yuting were slightly stunned.
Bang!
The first person to react was Commander Qian Hong. She stood up and slapped the table with her palm.
"That Knife"
Thanks for the tip, thank you very much!
