Amid the discussion, people from all major aristocratic families and immortal sects were sitting down, waiting for the sword test to begin.
Then, the casual cultivators from all walks of life, the cultivators from small sects, etc. all found a suitable place to watch the battle and sat down, but all they could see was that the surrounding area was a sea of people, with detailed clouds and auras everywhere, which could be described as lively. Extremely.
Surrounded by the immortal platforms, there is a huge sword platform. The entire sword platform is about a hundred feet in diameter and is paved with white marble. Above and below the platform, in all directions, there are countless restrictions and formations surrounding it. The defense is strict. Even comparable to the mountain-protecting formation of Xiaoxianmen, this seems to be for fear that the person fighting on the platform will not be able to hold back and hurt the surrounding people watching...
Seeing that everyone watching the battle from all sides had already sat down, above the platform where the Immortal Alliance was located, an old man in black robes stood up. His energy was very deep and he looked very peaceful. But if you examine it carefully, you will find that his whole body is like a sharp sword hidden in a sheath, taking a few steps forward out of thin air and reaching the sky above the sword platform.
"It's almost time, let's get started!"
The black-robed old man spoke very concisely and clearly. He just flicked his sleeves and said something lightly.
There were many people watching and talking around, but as he opened his mouth, his voice immediately dropped.
Countless eyes looked at the old man in black robes and listened quietly to what he said.
The old man in black robe just slowly glanced around the crowd, then smiled coldly and said: "This time I will be the master of the sword test, so you will follow my rules. I have practiced swordsmanship all my life, and I like simplicity and clarity. , I hate red tape the most, so I only set up a few rules. As long as you don’t break my rules, I won’t bother to care about you, and you can just make trouble!”
"The first one is that the rules are extremely simple. What matters is your martial arts attainments. Therefore, there are not so many rules. Those of you who want to win the title of the sword test, just come on stage. Whoever can stay until the end will be the winner. The winner, and because there is no title in our swordsmanship test, in the end, only ten people can be left on the stage at most, and these are the top ten in swordsmanship!"
"After the top ten in swordsmanship are determined, it will be up to the ten of you to fight out the top three and the leader. It's that simple!"
"The second point is that the fighting method is very simple. As long as you go to this martial arts test platform, you should be energetic. No matter whether it is a sneak attack or a siege, as long as you can win, you will be considered a winner. After all, it is really a big battle. When the calamity comes, those dark creatures will not pay attention to etiquette with you, so in our sword test, we will not ask you to pay attention to etiquette, just stay and count on your ability!"
"The third rule is, no matter the time, hehe, if you have the ability, you can fight for a year and a half on the stage. If you want to end this sword test, then defeat your opponent as soon as possible. Of course, once you leave the stage, It’s a failure, there’s nothing to say about it…”
“…”
“…”
As expected, the old man in black robe said it simply, and all the cultivators around him had mixed feelings when they heard it.
Although this old man's rules are very arbitrary, no one dares to refute him...
After all, he came back from the devil's side and has been practicing for many years, so he is most qualified to speak in the sword exam.
The old man in black robe did not give anyone a chance to refute him. Once he explained his rules, he gently waved his sleeves and said, "I've finished explaining my rules. I don't care if you can't remember them." , Just don’t break my rules. Those who are preparing to take the sword test, come here and wait by the sword platform. Don’t act like a master, suddenly appear on stage or something, that’s what annoys me the most..."
Boom!
As he shouted, a spiritual light slowly flickered around the martial arts test platform below, revealing a gap.
The cultivators slowly became nervous and looked around to see who was on the stage.
"coming… "
At this time, the crowd of onlookers in the southeast direction were slowly making way. A tall man in black, carrying a giant ax that looked like a grinder, slowly walked out of the cobbled path. When he came out, his body seemed to be very light and strong, but his steps were heavy. The cobblestone path turned into a pit when he stepped on it, and there was a layer of evil energy on his body, which was imminent.
"Qinshan Jun, this person is Qinshan Jun. I didn't expect that he would come to participate in the sword test..."
When someone saw the man in black, they were overjoyed and exclaimed: "He is a Taoist disciple of Zhulu Mountain in the south of Zhongzhou. He has achieved the Golden Elixir ten years ago. He has excellent talent and excellent bones. He only formed the Golden Elixir not long ago. Then he encountered an intermediate-level golden elixir demon and was defeated miserably. He was seriously injured. Later, he gave up his magical powers and practiced martial arts. Three years later, he challenged the demon again, but he was cut into two pieces with an axe. After that, I went into seclusion in the mountains and practiced the legendary martial arts secrets. Unexpectedly, I was released from seclusion now... "
After hearing this, all the cultivators were shocked and confused.
Although I had guessed that there might be some fierce people coming to this sword test, I didn’t expect that the first one would be so fierce!
The black-clothed Qinshan Lord strode to the sword stage and sat down cross-legged. He did not go on stage immediately, but waited.
Before the discussion among the cultivators around him had subsided, he suddenly saw another man in a white robe wrapped in a golden mist flying over in the southeast direction. He also stood gently on the edge of the sword platform and folded his fan. Zhan, waved gently, and smiled in all directions.
"It's actually this big Yin person..."
There were many people around who recognized the man holding the fan. Their expressions changed and they shrank their heads subconsciously.
"The person who claims to have developed magical powers in martial arts, the master of Xiaoyue Mountain. Although Xiaoyue Mountain is in the west of Baxia and can only be regarded as a second-rate person, even the first-rate immortal sects are not willing to provoke him easily. This person is sinister and vicious. The folding fan is not so much a weapon as it is a magic weapon with various tricks. Four Red Pill masters once joined forces to besiege them, but they were all killed by him alone... "
Before the panic in my heart had passed, I saw another man in red armor wearing a big black robe, dragging a huge iron gun as thick as an oval, and walked into the venue with an expressionless face, the tip of the gun was on There were sparks on the ground, which made people feel depressed.
"Zhao Xuanque, a prodigy in the art of spear, has been famous for a long time. This son is also a fierce man. It is said that after his lifetime, magic spears will fly from the sky and land in front of him. And he is also good at martial arts. Along the way, In my practice, I have never encountered a three-in-one general who is known as the invincible at the same level. In fact, he should have been born and walked long ago. It was just that during the last sword test, this person was still in seclusion, practicing spear training. When he came out of seclusion, the big exam was over. He once secretly found the leader to compete with each other, and he actually won... "
“…”
“…”
As the people participating in the sword test entered the venue one after another, the people watching the test couldn't help but feel excited.
Unexpectedly, I found that this time the sword test had far more masters than I thought. Even some famous and talented people came. Seven or eight of them came. Among the others, there were also many with terrifying qi, but no one came. Several of the mysterious people I met seemed to have reached the intermediate level of Jindan. To some extent, they were already in violation of the assessment rules.
Generally speaking, the intermediate masters of Jindan have often participated in the assessment. Even those who have not participated, because they have advanced in cultivation and cherish their reputation, they rarely come to compete with the juniors. Otherwise, they will win the first place. , what light is there on the face
But this time, a lot of them emerged, and the Immortal Alliance actually had no intention of stopping them!
However, before these people came to the sword platform, they only stood still and did not go on stage immediately. Everyone understood their thoughts. Since the time of the sword test has not been determined, the sooner those who come to the stage, the more challenges they will face. more.
It is very helpful to get a good ranking under the sword platform first to see how strong other people are.
"Where's that Qingpao guy? Why doesn't he come down yet?"
Seeing so many masters, the cultivators felt elated, but some people anticipated a problem and looked up.
The Xiantai where Chishui Danxi was located was still silent, without any movement.
He couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart: "Is this Qingpao really not going to take part in the sword test?"
While the cultivators were talking about it, suddenly in the northern sky, on the Immortal Platform belonging to the Sword Washing Pond, the fairy mist that was lingering was gently pulled away, and a man wearing a black robe had a head of white hair. Looking at the appearance, the young swordsman seemed to be only about twenty years old. He glanced around lightly, then stepped up and fell gently from the stage with an expressionless face.
He didn't use his magical power to fly into the clouds, nor did he use some magic weapon to control his body shape, he just fell straight down.
"Bang!"
He stepped on a big hole in the ground, but he was completely fine. He slowly walked out of the hole and stood in front of the sword platform with his hands behind his back.
In front of the sword platform, all the monks who were preparing to take the sword exam had cold and arrogant expressions on their faces.
Even if an outsider takes a quick look at them, they can also notice their unconvinced and aggressive nature.
But when the white-haired swordsman with a black robe and sword came to the sword platform, everyone's hearts sank subconsciously. Those who were close to him subconsciously moved two steps to the side, as if he had some aura about him. , people dare not approach the general.
Among the hundreds of people, only a few dared to turn their heads and look at him. Others did not dare to raise their heads in front of him.
"Sword washing pool?"
When everyone in the audience saw this young man, they were slightly shocked. Even the chatter from all directions seemed to have subsided a lot for an instant. Someone secretly looked at the white-haired young man and asked quietly: "Come here this time." What level of swordsman is he?"
Someone said attentively: "Looking at his sword robe, he should be a black-robed swordsman, but I don't know his ranking..."
"Does ranking matter?"
Some people even smiled bitterly and sighed: "In the past, as long as there are disciples from Xijianchi participating in the sword test, they will definitely win the first place. People like Qinshan Jun, Zhao Xuanque and others have all been unlucky. Alas, their strength , if placed in the previous exams, they would all be the favorites to win the first place, but this time they met the disciples of the Sword Washing Pool, and they were destined to have no hope of winning the first place... "
While they were discussing, the monks saw that the white-haired young man who was washing the sword in the sword pool did not stop when he came to the sword platform. Instead, he stepped directly onto the sword platform. His heart suddenly condensed, and he thought to himself that he was indeed worthy of it. He is a disciple of Xijianchi, so confident.
But what surprised them was yet to come.
After the white-haired young man stepped onto the sword platform, he gently raised his head and looked in the direction of Chishui Danxi.
In other words, he looked directly at Fang Yuan...
Then, a smile appeared on his face and he said lightly: "Why don't you come down?"
It’s the third update!
