Roar-
In the not very spacious passage, the two Yousui followers in front dragged their simple but brutal weapons and roared as they rushed towards Yunze and the other two.
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Kun Lan shouted impatiently, as if he was afraid of being robbed, and at the same time went towards the two followers.
The blue-haired boy was surrounded by scattered stars, and with his two curved blades in such a relatively narrow space, he couldn't play the spinning top that he was best at.
He pointed the blade forward and used chopping and stabbing techniques to maneuver and fight between the two followers.
Seeing Kunlan's active appearance, Yunze couldn't help but smile bitterly. Ever since leaving the camp, Kunlan always rushed to attack the dark people when he encountered them along the way.
It seems like he wants to take charge of all the battles.
Yunze pointed at the figure in front and asked, "Has he always been like this?"
Tian Yang's mouth twitched slightly: "That's about right. Kun Lan has always been very enthusiastic about fighting."
But now, he is competing with me, the boy added in his mind.
The battle was over quickly.
The blue-haired boy pointed the blade upwards and stabbed it into the chin of a follower, breaking his skull. He then pulled it out and the follower fell to the ground and disintegrated.
Turning like a whirlwind, the two blades intertwined to create a dazzling light, cutting the other follower into pieces.
The last knife pierced through the eye socket, piercing the prisoner and disintegrating his entourage.
Tianyang walked over and looked at Kunlan, whose forehead was slightly sweaty. "Next time, just break its cage. It won't die even if you chop it into pieces."
Kun Lan immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "I just like to chop these dark bastards into pieces, what's it to you!"
Tianyang shook his head and went forward to explore the way.
Kun Lan shouted from behind, "You stupid white-haired bastard, why are you shaking your head? Stop right there and explain your thoughts to me clearly before you leave!"
Yunze passed by the blue-haired boy and said with a smile: "I didn't realize that you two have such a deep friendship."
Kun Lan was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "What a joke, I don't want to make friends with that white-haired guy."
Tianyang suddenly stopped: "There are fungus people ahead."
"I'll do it!" Someone volunteered to rush forward.
We walked and stopped like this, and in the blink of an eye we were almost at the venue.
Tian Yang said in a puzzled tone: "Master Yun Ze, you said yesterday that whether we can arrive at the venue safely and on time is related to whether we can get tickets to enter the lower base."
Yunze nodded: "Yes, what's the problem?"
Tian Yang pondered and said, "According to what you said, it is clear that the process of going to the venue should be considered a test. And along the way, we only encountered things like Youshen's followers and fungus people. There are not many of these things, and at most they can only cause harassment to us. What is the point of such a test?"
Yunze's face gradually became heavy: "Because in this process, the real problem is not the people of darkness."
Kun Lan, who was standing by, also became interested: "If it's not black people, then what is it?"
"yes... "
When Yunze was about to give the answer, Tianyang suddenly stopped, and the boy's expression became very serious. He pointed his sword forward and shouted, "Who's there!"
Kun Lan immediately fired a flare in that direction, and a light yellow light suddenly lit up in the passage. The light shone down, and a figure leaning against the wall of the passage was exposed.
He was a man, thin. He was wearing blood-red armor and a black half-plate armor.
The area below the nose.
There was a long knife leaning against his side. When the light came on, he left the wall, took the long knife and stood in the middle of the road.
"Master Yun, this road is blocked. Please go back."
Footsteps were heard one after another.
Behind the man in red armor, four more people came out, making a total of five people.
These five people, four men and one woman, have the same rank emblem numbers on them, and are all level 3 Ascendants.
But the job ranks are varied.
The man in red armor is of the God of War rank, and the tall and strong middle-aged man wearing thick black armor behind him is of the Fortress rank.
There is also a War God class, a Hunter and an Elemental Heart.
These four classes are very common in Skyfort, but what is rare is that they are of equal rank, so when different classes are combined, the destructive power they exert cannot be underestimated.
Yunze's eyes swept over the man in red armor: "Although you didn't show your family emblem, I heard that the Zhao family has a rising star named Zhao Hongtu, who likes to wear red armor and is good at using a long sword. When fighting with others, he often decides the outcome in two or three moves. I wonder if you know this person?"
Tianyang frowned slightly. It was obvious that the man in red armor was the Zhao Hongtu mentioned by Yunze. Tianyang knew that the Zhao family was a second-rate family like the Xie family. They had been established for more than 40 years and had been trying to impact the top five gates.
Unfortunately, until today, the Zhao family has not been able to make a breakthrough.
The red-armored man was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I am Zhao Hongtu. Since Master Yun knows who I am, please go back. Otherwise, I will not take back my sword until I see blood."
Yunze sighed softly, "I didn't expect that the Zhao family would be willing to exchange a disciple as outstanding as you for this competition."
A smile flashed in Yue Hongtu's eyes: "Young Master Yun is too modest. Sacrificing a chess piece of mine, Zhao Hongtu, can replace the Yunlong team, which ranks second in the Yun family in this competition. My Zhao family has made a big profit!"
From their conversation, Tianyang finally heard an outline. It seemed that the real test on the way to the venue would be the current situation.
Now the family competition is beginning to enter its climax. In order to achieve better results, some families will sacrifice the interests of their clansmen and use them to block the top-ranked teams among the noble children of the five gates.
By intercepting and delaying them, as long as these teams could not enter the venue on time, the number of personnel entering the lower base from the upper five gates would be reduced.
This approach may not hurt the vitality of the top five families, but there is only so much meat, and with one less competitor, other families will undoubtedly have more opportunities to share the fat.
If you think about it more deeply, maybe this method of exchanging children has been agreed and recognized by all the lower-level families. Only in this way can we unify and coordinate, and make a relatively fair distribution of benefits.
"That's a real headache." Yunze said helplessly, "But I'm determined to get the ticket to the lower base. How about this, if you're willing to give way. Or even remain neutral. Afterwards, I'm willing to pay double the amount that the Zhao family promised to pay you. What do you think?"
As expected of the Qingtian Yun family, they are so rich and powerful. Without even asking how much the Zhao family would pay, Yunze directly offered double the reward. I wish I could be that rich someday... Tianyang thought with a somewhat divergent mind.
Zhao Hongtu snorted in his visor: "Master Yun, you are joking. Although I am not a great talent, I will not betray my family for that little money."
Yunze smiled warmly: "You misunderstood, I am trying to negotiate with the people behind you. How about it, everyone, if you
If you agree, I will promise you one more thing. After the competition, you can serve in my Yun family for three years. "
If the double reward mentioned above is a shot in the arm, it makes people excited.
Then the promise that follows is a defining pill. Anyone can tell that the so-called appointment is just another form of protection.
In this way, even if you withdraw here, you don't have to worry about being retaliated by the Zhao family.
Zhao Hongtu never expected that Yunze would resort to such a dirty trick of buying people's hearts, and he immediately became anxious. After all, the Zhao family could only offer a limited reward.
Yunze’s conditions are so tempting, it’s hard to say that no one would be tempted.
Sure enough, as soon as Yunze finished speaking, several heavy breathing sounds were heard behind him. Then the fortress class in thick armor came out and said, "Sorry, Master Hongtu, I want to withdraw from this competition."
The woman following the hunter also said, "Me too."
Greedy light flashed in her eyes: "Master Yunze, if you pay three times, I am willing to fight for you!"
Yunze once again demonstrated what it means to be rich and willful, and said without thinking: "Okay, come over here."
The woman immediately took off her longbow, walked behind Yunze and the other two, pulled out a star-like arrow, and pointed it at Zhao Hongtu.
Yunze looked towards the fortress class and said, "As for you, if you are willing to help, I can pay you three times the reward."
The honest-looking man shook his head: "No, I choose to remain neutral."
Yunze smiled slightly and said in a voice that only he could hear: "He is a smart man."
Looking at Zhao Hongtu again, Yunze said with a refined smile: "Zhao Hongtu, it's not too late to change your mind now."
Zhao Hongtu's whole body was filled with murderous aura. He slowly drew out his long knife and pointed it at Yunze: "Except for the young master of the Yun family, the rest will be killed without mercy!"
Tianyang couldn't help but frown. Although Yunze had said that this kind of situation would happen in the competition, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he encountered it now.
The number of Ascendants who awaken in the fortress every year is limited, and it is already insufficient to explore the reverse world. However, in the family competition, the Ascendants have to kill each other.
What Tianyang could not understand the most was that Fortress knew all this, but still agreed to allow each family to "borrow people" from Fortress's military system.
This is not to say that the Ascended Ones can kill each other in the competition, it is just too ridiculous.
Yunze seemed to know what Tianyang was thinking, and whispered, "Don't hesitate, and kill when the time comes. This is your first time participating in a competition, so you will definitely not understand. It's okay, I'll explain it to you later."
Tianyang glanced at him and nodded. The star energy began to press into the Red Moon Saber, and a hint of crimson lit up on the blade.
As the two sides were about to fight, the fortress-class warrior slowly retreated, and only stopped when he was a hundred meters away.
At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard in the air. It turned out to be the hunter who had turned against his allies and shot an arrow at the Zhao family's Elemental Heart!
This arrow marked the beginning of the battle.
Almost at the same time as the arrow was shot, Zhao Hongtu raised his long sword at an angle and knocked the arrow away.
A war god behind him took the opportunity to rush out, with a red glow of fighting spirit in the corners of his eyes, and ran straight towards Yunze with two swords in hand.
Kun Lan shouted, "White Hair, protect the captain. Let me take over Zhao!"
Without Kunlan's reminder, Tianyang had already flashed and cut into the warrior's path. The Red Moon Saber drew out a winding crimson blade light and slashed towards the man's face like lightning!
