If in the last game, Yan Xiu swept his opponent off the ring with an extremely strong attitude, then in this game, Yan Xiu was obviously weak.
In the last game, facing Chen Yuanfang's powerful strength, Yan Xiu used a head-on confrontation that no one could have imagined.
However, in this match, when everyone thought that Yan Xiu was going to have a head-on confrontation, he actually started playing the Wind Shadow Step, and he seemed to be playing quite vigorously.
From beginning to end, not a single move was made.
This made the candidates standing opposite Yan Xiu who were already prepared to defend themselves dumbfounded. Seeing Yan Xiu disappearing on the stage, the candidates' faces felt as if they had been slapped hard by a huge wave. Same, some confusion.
"Plot?"
"Deliberately showing weakness?"
"You want to lure me in? And then defeat me in one fell swoop?"
Thoughts flashed through the candidates' minds, but they were quickly denied. Only the weak would use tactics in a battle in the arena.
However, between himself and Yan Xiu, is Yan Xiu the weak one
Obviously not.
So…
What is Yan Xiu's purpose in doing this
"By the way, delay!" After thinking this, the examinee suddenly understood, but the feeling of being treated like a monkey was really not pleasant.
Just as he was thinking about it, a sword light struck him.
The candidates were all stunned.
Huh? What about the promised delay
"Boom!" Before the candidate could fully react, the sword light directly hit him, and then his body flew up.
However, fortunately, he did not fall under the ring, but rolled to the side of the ring.
and…
Even more fortunately, it seemed that the sword light was not too sharp, it only caused some skin trauma, and not even a single bone was broken.
It was obvious that Yan Xiu did not use all his strength.
If candidates don't understand such a result, they would be really stupid. Yan Xiu was stalling for time, but if he kept dodging, it would surely arouse the discussion of the surrounding civil and military officials.
So, it's natural. He acted as a sandbag.
"Fight!" Candidates also have self-respect. It's okay if you delay the time. What does it mean to treat yourself as a sandbag? It's tolerable, but it's intolerable!
If you can successfully pass so many rounds, the candidate's strength will naturally not be too weak.
Streams of sword light shot out from the long sword in his hand. Brilliant and dazzling, it looks extremely powerful.
But it doesn't seem to be of any use.
Yan Xiu's Feng Ying Step was too erratic. With the sword light emitted from his hand, not to mention hurting Yan Xiu, even his clothes were not touched at all.
So, helplessly, he took another blow and his body flew up again.
…
After a stick of incense was used, the examinee had been struck by countless swords and flown into the air many times. But he was "lucky" not to fall off the stage.
The surrounding civil and military officials looked at this "fierce" competition on the stage and were all a little sighing: "Is this really the second round of the preliminary competition for the palace examination?"
The time for two sticks of incense has passed.
It’s time for three sticks of incense.
Four pillars of incense…
I don’t know how many incense sticks have passed, but the competition on the arena still continues, with swords blazing, but the person flying is always the same person.
The civil and military officials all frowned and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. This fight had gone on for too long, so long that the sun almost hung high above their heads.
From early morning to now. I was really sunburned.
But no one dared to raise any objections. After all, even the Holy Master Lin Mubai had not left, so how could they dare to have other ideas
and. Now is the preliminary test for the palace examination. Under such circumstances, who dares to disturb the competition in the ring? Even though I knew I was procrastinating, I just endured it.
But, I don’t know how long I have to endure it
All the civil and military officials felt bitter in their hearts. It feels like a mute eating yellow lotus.
However, when it comes to suffering, the candidates who are constantly being bombarded by Yan Xiu are really suffering. The clothes on their bodies are already in tatters, although they have not suffered any serious injuries.
But the minor injuries added up still left his body stained with blood.
The most important thing is that this kind of double mental and physical torture really makes him almost collapse. He wants to fight, but he can't win, so why don't he fight? Is it possible to just admit defeat
That's right, admit defeat!
"I can't stand it anymore, I give up!" The examinee's eyes lit up. He really couldn't bear it. He couldn't bully people like this. Moreover, he was still bullying people in front of all the civil and military officials and the emperor.
"boom!"
The examinee's body flew up again, but this time, he did not struggle, but turned over in the air and rolled directly under the ring.
There was silence.
He actually gave up on his own initiative? !
All the civil and military officials looked at me and I looked at you with a wry smile. This was really too much for this candidate, and no one else would be able to bear this.
"Yan Xiu Sheng!" The invigilator was about to doze off, but he woke up after hearing the sound of the candidates falling off the ring, and announced loudly, and then looked up at the sun that had risen to the sky.
"It's almost noon?"
Pingyang, who was sitting next to the Holy Master Lin Mubai, heard the invigilator's words. His clear eyes suddenly lit up, his pink mouth pouted, and he looked at the Holy Master Lin Mubai with a pitiful expression.
"Father, after watching it for so long, I'm so hungry!"
"Oh? Pingyang is hungry?" The Holy Master Lin Mubai looked at Pingyang lovingly.
"Your Majesty, there is still half an hour before noon, why not..." Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping stood up immediately after hearing Pingyang's words.
"Why not? This princess is hungry and needs to eat now!" Pingyang Qingche's eyes suddenly widened.
"Yes, yes, the princess is hungry. I will arrange for someone to prepare it for the princess now!" Zuo Xiang Yu Yiping nodded, then turned to the invigilator and said: "Let's start the next one. The princess has her own meal, veteran Prepare it yourself, just be patient for a while!"
"Yes!" The invigilator didn't understand the meaning of Zuo Xiangyu Yiping's words. Before Pingyang could speak again, he immediately shouted: "Nangong Mu will be honest with the challenger in the next round!"
When all the civil and military officials heard the invigilator's words, they all showed a smile on their faces. No matter how Yan Xiu delayed or Ping Yang tried his best, the situation was forced by the general situation. In the end, it was still to no avail.
All civil and military officials were waiting for the invigilator to announce that Fang Zhengzheng had abstained.
However, at this moment, a lazy voice suddenly sounded from outside the crowd.
"coming… "
Immediately afterwards, a figure walked out of the crowd. Taking small steps leisurely, he walked slowly towards the ring. As he walked, he muttered: "It is said that arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. Fortunately, I was smart enough to take the main road and got through in no time. . Sure enough, you are not late!”
"From now on, please call me the punctual gentleman who is never late!" After the figure walked to the ring, he grinned again and showed a sincere smile to the civil and military officials below.
When the smiling civil and military officials saw the figure walking onto the ring, they all froze in place, because they all recognized this dusty guy.
"Is it... Fang Zhengzheng?!"
"He actually caught up with me, but... what did he just say? He wasn't late?!"
"A punctual gentleman who is never late? Could this guy be any more shameless?"
All the civil and military officials were immediately angry. If it hadn't been for Fang Zhengzheng's late arrival and Yan Xiu's deliberate delay, why would they have been here in the hot sun all morning
"We haven't seen each other for a few months. Have you lost weight? I have a lot of good meat with me. Can I bake it for you after I finish the fight?" Fang Zhengzheng looked at Yan Xiu, who was still standing on the ring.
"Okay, okay, I want to eat too!" Before Yan Xiu could speak, Pingyang couldn't help it anymore and shouted loudly.
"What can we eat? You haven't paid the rent for my house yet!" Fang Zhengzheng glanced at Pingyang with disdain.
All the civil and military officials were immediately startled by Fang Zhengzheng's words. It's a great blessing that the princess likes your things. But this guy is so nice that he refuses to give you food and even asks Princess Pingyang to buy a house. money
Then. They all remembered the words Pingyang once spread.
Fifteen thousand taels of silver per night!
It can not be!
"Hmph! I live in Uncle Fang and Aunt Qin's house, not yours, so why should I pay you for the rent!" Pingyang looked at Fang Zhengyi with the same disdain.
"Uncle Fang? Aunt Qin?"
All the civil and military officials were instantly frightened. Pingyang was a majestic princess. But calling two common people uncle and aunt, this is...
"Pingyang, don't yell." Of course the Holy Master Lin Mubai knew the hidden meaning of this kind of thing, so he had to remind Pingyang.
"Oh!" Pingyang stuck out his tongue and stopped talking. However, a pair of clear eyes looked at Fang Zhengyi with hatred, the expression on his face seemed to say, I won't give it to you, what can you do to me
Fang Zhengzheng ignored Pingyang and looked at Yan Xiu again: "How are you doing? Do you want to eat?"
"Okay!" Yan Xiu nodded and walked off the ring with a calm face. However, the corners of his mouth could not help but move, as if he felt a kind of heartfelt relief.
"Fang Zhengzheng!" At this moment, Nangong Mu had already entered the ring, with a certain brilliance flashing in his calm eyes. It was not excitement, but a burning fighting spirit.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've turned black!" Fang Zhengzheng looked at Nangong Mu, who was wearing a blue shirt, and greeted him warmly.
"Let's fight!" Nangong Mu was obviously much more direct than Fang Zhengzheng.
"Starting a fight as soon as we meet? Isn't that bad?" Fang Zhengzheng said honestly.
"I'm ready!" Nangong Mu said as he drew out his blue swords, his body full of fighting spirit and a serious expression on his face.
"Okay..." Fang Zhengzheng nodded helplessly, and then slowly walked towards Nangong Mu: "How about shaking hands before we fight?"
Nangong Mu was stunned for a moment, looking at Fang Zhengyi who was walking towards him with one hand extended. After hesitating for a moment, he finally changed the blue swords in his right hand to his left hand, and then stretched out his right hand.
"Look at the hidden weapon!" The moment Nangong Mu stretched out his right hand, a piece of silver light shot out from Fang Zhengzheng's hand, overwhelmingly covering Nangong Mu.
The civil and military officials gathered under the ring were completely unable to react when they saw such a sudden change. Didn't they shake hands? Why did you suddenly use a hidden weapon
The changes are so fast!
"Shameless!"
"It's so shameless!"
"A surprise attack!"
When all the civil and military officials came to their senses, they all started to curse.
"This guy... is so shameless!" Pingyang really didn't expect Fang Zhengyi to do this, and his pink mouth opened into a circle in shock.
However, as the culprit, Fang Zhengzheng looked calm.
Nangong Mu is at the peak of the Amaterasu realm, and possesses Qinglan Jue, one of the two secret arts of the Nangong family, which Fang Zhengzheng has seen with his own eyes.
It's so normal to do a surprise and a sneak attack. Only a fool would fight against such a person. It's not the finals!
Take ten thousand steps back.
You said you were ready, do you blame me
"Ding Ding Dang Dang!" The sound of a silver needle sounded quickly. Nangongmu did not retreat. He just blocked the sword on his left hand in front of him, and a frost like a mirror appeared in front of him. .
And all the silver needles thrown by Fang Zhengzheng fell to the ground.
"Fang Zhengzheng, it's indeed the same Fang Zhengyi!" Nangong Mu didn't seem to be surprised at all by Fang Zhengzheng's sneak attack, and he even felt in his heart that this was Fang Zhengzheng's respect for him.
This has to be said to be a twisted thought.
But in fact, Nangong Mu's thoughts were not twisted at all.
In the world of Shengtian, Fang Zhengzheng used this unexpected method to fool Tong Yingshan, the deputy capital of the demon clan, into a mess. If Fang Zhengzheng gave up this style of play.
Instead, he changed to fight with himself seriously.
Then, Nangong Mu would feel that Fang Zhengzheng did not show his full strength.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Fang Zhengzheng took Nangong Mu's praise into his ears without any politeness, and then quickly crushed a black object in his hand to explode.
Flashbang!
In an instant, the entire arena lit up with an extremely dazzling white light.
"Oh, eyes, my eyes!"
"what?!"
"Why can't I see you?"
All the civil and military officials screamed, because this light was so bright, it was like thousands of lights shining hard into their eyes.
There was chaos.
However, soon, the white world slowly disappeared, and then, vaguely, they seemed to see a little light slowly enlarging.
It was a faint blue light spot.
It looked a bit dazzling in the white world, and then, the light point slowly solidified and turned into something like a sapphire, but there were countless halos of light rotating on the sapphire.
Spin, spin, spin…
"what?!"
"Why do I feel a little... dizzy!"
"thump!"
A voice rang out from the civil and military officials sitting on the chairs, and then a second, same voice came out. In less than a moment, the civil and military officials all fell down.
It is not yet known whether the contestants have fallen, but what is certain is that more than half of the people watching have fallen...
How spectacular! (To be continued.)
