"Tianzun" Li Daotian, who is ranked 12th on the Tianjue list, and "Sword Demon" Beiming Wudi, who is ranked 17th, will fight against "Splitting Sky Sword" Jin Kongyan, who is ranked 28th, and may be ranked 30th Ye Qingxuan, the second, and Hengwantong, whose strength is illusory but unknown on the list, won two out of three rounds. No matter how you look at it, the side of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families has the upper hand.
The sneer on Li Shentong's face became more obvious.
The surrounding crowd exclaimed in low voices, looking at Heng Wantong and the others with sympathy.
Originally thought it was a chance to make a comeback, but unexpectedly, it turned into a cocoon and brought the three of them into a dangerous situation.
And obviously, the enemy didn't just let Heng Wantong and the others restrain their minds, and even bigger blows followed.
With a loud shout, it was like sharp gold piercing the sky, and the long sword was unsheathed.
"It's such a good show, since Cao is catching up, how can he just be a bystander?"
Everyone was surprised.
All eyes turned to the inner city gate on the opposite side of the bridge. The crowd separated on both sides, and one of them came proudly with a spear on his back.
The body is slender, straight as a gun, and the proud expression on his face remains unchanged, but the deep-knit brows add a bit of chill and wind and frost.
"Hiss—'Spear Sect' Cao Sheng!?"
I don't know who revealed the identity of the person, and suddenly the audience was full of surprised voices.
Since the "Spear Sect" Cao Sheng was defeated by the "Ding Ba" Wei Wugui outside the city of Xuzhou, the 22nd place on the Tianjue list has been handed over, and the ranking has dropped by 10 places, temporarily ranking 31st. The prestige in the world has plummeted, and he has also hidden himself, and he has not seen him for a long time. According to rumors, he did not return to Cao's family, but had completely taken refuge in Fengyi Pavilion, where he comprehended Fengyi Pavilion's martial arts and practiced martial arts hard. Unexpectedly, he would suddenly appear here today. Could it be that he had succeeded in entering the country and started to come out of the rivers and lakes again, to pay back Wei Wugui's old debt? If this is the case, if he is challenging Wei Wuxie and regaining his previous ranking on the Tianjue Ranking, a contest with Ye Qingxuan, who has just been promoted to the Tianjue Ranking, can be used for military training. This timing is really a coincidence.
But even though Cao Shengwei lived up to his reputation back then, no matter who talked about him, it was confirmed that his real martial arts was still around the top 20, and definitely not the strength of the 31st.
The appearance of Cao Sheng did not surprise Ye Qingxuan.
Coming all the way north from Hanzhong Mansion, it would be a big surprise if Cao Sheng, who had shown his face, didn't come here to join in the fun.
After the appearance of "Spear Sect" Cao Sheng, the people of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families rejoiced immediately. With the joining of this master, Ye Qingxuan and others could be completely crushed.
Cao Sheng cupped his hands towards Li Shentong, and said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the birthday of the birthday star. Cao came here to celebrate his birthday. I don't want to meet such a grand martial arts event. I don't know if Cao is qualified to represent the eight great families and How about a fight with the enemy?"
Li Shentong laughed with his beard, cupped his hands and said: "Brother Cao, if he is willing to go out, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy. It's too late for Li to thank him, so how can he refuse?"
The color on Cao Sheng's face was obvious. His wish for many years is to lead the Cao family to become a real family leader. But for a long time, there has been no such opportunity. Now with the protection of Fengyi Pavilion and the establishment of a good relationship with the real aristocratic families of the Eight Great Families, the rise of the Cao family is just around the corner. how
The six masters on both sides looked at each other coldly, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment.
The pressure spread, and everyone was extremely excited, and at the same time, they were so suppressed that they stopped breathing.
So exciting!
The six masters of the heavens catch each other and fight each other. Such a scene has never been seen in the martial arts world in thousands of years of history.
How lucky the world is to be able to see this scene and participate in it...
"Okay, now that the personnel have been confirmed, it seems that this contest is bound to take shape!" Heng Wantong laughed out loud, very insolently.
Beiming Wudi replied coldly: "At this point, even if you want to regret it, Fatty, I'm afraid it's too late!"
"Regret? A joke! I, Heng Wantong, don't know what regret is in this life!" Heng Wantong snorted coldly, his eyes swept over Beiming Wudi and the other three, and finally fell on Li Shentong.
"Brother Li, the time for this martial arts competition is set on your birthday. As for the location, you might as well let Brother Li organize it together..."
Li Shentong's eyes flashed, and he asked back: "What? The time and place are all left to the old man? Don't you worry?"
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help sneering, and said: "Lord Li is really petty. What are the status and status of the seniors, even if there is something dirty, will they still be taken seriously by them? Although I am a latecomer, I am not afraid. Could it be that Lord Li is actually afraid?"
"That's a good point. Mr. Li is a bit petty! In this case, three days later, Mr. Li will celebrate his birthday. The Li family will invite heroes from all over the world to attend a banquet. We will have three martial arts competitions at the banquet!"
"It's a deal." After Heng Wantong finished speaking, he gave Beiming Wudi an angry look, turned around and left.
Jin Kongyan looked at the crowd with a faint smile, bowed his hands in salute, and then left.
"Let's go too!" The people Li Shen spoke to were the beloved children of the eight great families, and Beiming Wudi and Li Daotian had already quietly left when Heng Wantong turned around. Even Nalan Yuanshuo, the son of the wolf, and his subordinates all had gloomy faces and retreated quietly. Of the three martial arts masters, only Cao Sheng, who wanted to get close to Li Shentong, remained where he was. The two looked at each other and smiled, chatting and laughing all the way away. They didn't care about the martial arts competition three days later and were full of confidence.
From the beginning to the end, Cao Sheng didn't even look at Ye Qingxuan, and he showed enough contempt.
Monk Ruhua walked over angrily, and said in a low voice, "Yezi, these old bastards don't think highly of us at all."
Ye Qingxuan smiled and said: "Isn't that just right? They still think that I stole the 'Ghost Claw' Nie Tu opportunistically, and they can't afford me as a junior. When the time comes, I will let them get to know each other well. What kind of strength is Qingxuan?"
Ruhua nodded fiercely, and then asked: "If you face Cao Sheng, are you sure you will win?"
Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath and said dumbly: "Of course—no!"
"ah!?"
It was the first time Monk Ruhua heard Ye Qingxuan be so cowardly.
Ye Qingxuan couldn't help being surprised and said: "What's so strange about this, Cao Sheng is a veteran and powerful enemy, originally ranked 22nd, it was so difficult for Brother Wei to win back then, and I even tried my best to win against Nie Tu Just a half move, why do you think I have the strength to defeat him now?"
"Yes, but you..."
Monk Ruhua suddenly stuttered again.
"Hahaha, brother Ye speaks quickly, frankly and honestly, which is admirable." Not far away, Ren Shukuang laughed and walked over, "But you don't have to belittle Ye Xiaoyou, just based on your few moves against Beiming Wudi just now, I am very optimistic about you. Absolutely have the strength to compete with Cao Sheng."
"Borrowing auspicious words from seniors." Ye Qingxuan replied with a smile.
However, although he was extremely confident, he was indeed uneasy. "Spear Sect" Cao Sheng, although he is now ranked 31st, and he is about to be ranked 32nd, it seems that there is not much difference, but in fact the real strength In fact, the difference is definitely more than that.
He just received Beiming Wudi's sword move and saved Ren Shukuang, but he knew that Beiming Wudi's real swordsmanship had not yet unfolded. If it was a life-and-death fight, Ye Qingxuan didn't have the confidence to catch Beiming Wudi's swordsmanship. Power.
"Yezi, everyone is leaving, why don't we go too." Monk Ruhua looked around in a daze, seeing that the crowd had dispersed, most of them were talking about the martial arts competition in three days' time, and they left at their pleasure, leaving only a few people left in a daze in place.
Ye Qingxuan nodded.
Ren Shukuang directly invited: "Okay, three days is not long or short. If you can, Brother Ye, you might as well come to my place and we can get together."
"That's exactly what I meant." Ye Qingxuan was concerned about the life and death of Huo Dong's family, and wanted to take the opportunity to find out more about it. At the same time, Ren Shukuang was a fellow apprentice of the "Eagle King". Maybe it's all false, and Ren Shukuang may have the whereabouts and news of "Eagle King" and others in private.
But before that...
Ye Qingxuan glanced at the group of disabled people next to him, especially the disabled child not far away, looking at him with a pair of pure and innocent eyes with infinite hope, and now he is the hope of these people.
I snatched them from the Youlong Gang, if I let them go, even if the Youlong Gang didn't retaliate against them, on their terms, they were destined not to live long.
Ye Qingxuan sighed secretly, and walked slowly towards the boy whose knees were empty.
The little boy said ah twice, showing that he thanked Ye Qingxuan for saving his life, and then threw himself on the ground, sincerely bowing down.
Hula, the rest of the disabled people all knelt down, threw themselves to the ground, and thanked him.
Although almost all of these people had their tongues broken and could not speak, they expressed their most sincere thanks to Ye Qingxuan with practical actions.
It was he who gave them a chance to be reborn, to live with dignity, or to die.
"Get up, all up."
Ye Qingxuan lifted the young man up, glanced at the broken bodies of everyone, felt sour in his heart, turned his head quickly, and begged Ren Shukuang behind him: "Master Ren, I have one thing I want to ask, I don't know if it's okay …”
Ren Shukuang came to his senses, nodded solemnly and said: "Brother Ye needless to say, these people are on me. I have a lot of mundane things in Tianqinmen, and teaching them to read, write, and do calculations later will be of great use."
ah, ah...
Hearing Ren Shukuang's confession that he wanted to teach them to read and write, the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy gestured excitedly with his hands, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be arguing about something.
"You are..." Ren Shukuang was amazed.
Ye Qingxuan sighed and said, "He can write."
The boy nodded seriously, then took Ye Qingxuan's palm and wrote on it.
At this time, Ye Qingxuan's face also became surprised.
"You mean, all of you can write and do abacus?"
The boy's eyes turned red again, and he nodded solemnly again.
This time, Ren Shukuang and others also became astonished.
These people seem to be from humble backgrounds, but I didn't expect that all of them could write...
The humbleness here is not a derogatory term, but a fact.
However, the young man's next writing shocked Ye Qingxuan's mind. The colors in his eyes alternated between surprise and anger, and then turned to fury. Finally, when the writing was completed, the murderous intent in his eyes was already irresistible, and he was almost about to explode. murder.
Ye Qingxuan's violent emotional changes fell into the eyes of everyone, so unpredictable, and he didn't know what it was that made him lose his composure.
After the young man finished writing, Ye Qingxuan withdrew his palm, unable to calm down for a long time.
Ye Qingxuan slowly closed his eyes to calm down his anger.
Ren Shukuang and Ruhua looked at each other, not knowing why, but when they saw him so angry, they wisely didn't ask.
With a long sigh of relief, Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that these people are the children of officials and eunuchs, so they know how to read and write..."
Children of officials
The surprised eyes of Ren Shukuang and others swept across many disabled people.
Ye Qingxuan continued: "They are all the children of officials who opposed Fengyi Pavilion... Their parents and elders were all killed because they opposed Fengyi Pavilion's deeds, and they were abused to this point. The reason why they didn’t kill them was not only to punish those who opposed Fengyi Pavilion, but also to make their children and relatives suffer all kinds of tragedies in the world, but also to warn others not to oppose Fengyi Pavilion... The people of Youlong Gang are just accomplices , Fengyi Pavilion is the culprit."
"What a vicious method!" Ren Shukuang exclaimed.
Compared with these methods, the destruction of Huo Dong's family was the most merciful revenge.
Including the young man, everyone was crying wildly, all kinds of humiliation and suffering were really insignificant.
Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes sharply, glanced at the crowd, and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will avenge your revenge. It won't be long before I will make those wicked people plead guilty in front of you."
Everyone burst into tears and kowtowed to thank each other.
However, the stubborn young man in front of everyone suddenly shook his head, pulled Ye Qingxuan's palm, trembling his hands again, and kept writing...
Ye Qingxuan was taken aback, and asked, "What? You want to avenge yourself?"
The boy nodded firmly.
Then another burst of writing.
"You want to learn martial arts?" Ye Qingxuan lamented in his heart, with the broken body of a young man at this time, even if he learns martial arts, what achievements can he achieve? You must know his enemies, but Fengyi Pavilion and Youlong Gang!
But the young man's eager eyes made Ye Qingxuan's heart soften, but he still asked:
"You know, with your body, it's not easy to learn martial arts..."
The teenager wrote: Never regret a hundred deaths!
Ye Qingxuan looked straight, and asked again: "Do you know that this journey of learning martial arts is by no means smooth..."
The boy wrote again: Never regret a hundred deaths!
Ye Qingxuan looked serious, and asked sharply: "Do you know that in the martial arts world, there is absolutely no sympathy at all..."
The boy solemnly wrote: A hundred deaths without regrets!
After asking three consecutive questions, the young man answered firmly with three "no regrets in a hundred deaths".
Ye Qingxuan looked up to the sky and sighed, his expression froze, and finally he said in a deep voice: "Okay, since you have this belief, what can I do if I help you!"
The boy looked happy, and once again crawled on the ground, just kowtowed.
This time, Ye Qingxuan did not help him up, but said sternly: "I took your head, and I am your master. Now I order you to stand up..."
Both Ren Shukuang and Ruhua were stunned, they didn't expect Ye Qingxuan to take this kid as his apprentice, and he became so unkind in an instant, so harsh to a disabled boy without legs.
Ye Qingxuan's expression remained unchanged, watching the other party stand up firmly, using two shins to stand firm, and said in a deep voice: "From today on, you are not a cripple..." Pointing to his chest, he said again: "The real disability is the mental disability, not the physical disability. As long as the heart is not disabled, you will not be disabled! This is the first lesson I taught you. No matter what the world thinks of you, you are yourself, and you will not be disabled because of others. Belittle yourself, don't be proud of being valued by others, understand?"
The boy's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he nodded firmly.
"Your surname is Sheng, what's your name?"
The boy stepped forward and respectfully wrote the word "Ping An" on the ground.
"Sheng Ping'an... This name is enough to show your father's expectations for you. Ping An, peace for the rest of your life, what a pity... You are destined to miss Ping An in this life."
Ye Qingxuan looked certain, and said lightly: "Peace, you bury it deep in your heart and keep it as a souvenir. I will accept you as an apprentice and pass on your martial arts, but I will not accept you into the Kunwu sect, because you died for revenge. Life, to live for killing, doomed not to enter the main gate, but to join the Kunwu sect, but in the future, the behavior will be controlled by the sect rules, hands and feet will be restrained, and it will make a mess between you and Kunwu. So you will be the one outside my gate Bastard, I'll give you another name..."
Ye Qingxuan pondered for a moment, and finally said firmly: "Yayu, I give you a name, which is 'Yayu'. From now on, you will be 'Sheng Yayu'."
Sheng Yayu's eyes were shining, he looked at Ye Qingxuan with great admiration, and nodded solemnly.
