Chapter 450 Long And Intimate Friendship
In the summer, there were many sects, almost fighting against the imperial court.
In Jianghu, there was naturally no lack of stunning geniuses and monsters.
There was no lack of arrogant, arrogant, or even domineering geniuses amongst these geniuses who were like the blazing sun.
Everyone present had seen a lot about these things, and had heard more about them.
But even if these people were to be added together, they would probably be less than a tenth of the arrogance of the youth in front of them.
He said that he wanted to kill a Great Evolution Realm expert, a Great Evolution Realm expert from the Crimson Firmament Sect.
In front of the world's long mouth, in front of the swordsman of the Sword Handling Pavilion, he said these words.
In an unquestionably confident tone, a tone so strong that it was almost imperative.
The atmosphere in the arena instantly quieted down, and panic or surprise appeared on everyone's brows.
…
The distant Xiao Ran , who was eating the eighth portion of roast duck, heard this.
The fat man's face immediately turned purple. Then, he covered his chest and coughed violently.
A wave of retching rang out from his mouth. After a long while, he bent over and his expression gradually returned to normal.
"I almost choked to death!" The man then said with lingering fear, but at that moment, his gaze once again turned to the distance.
He narrowed his eyes and said with a strange expression, "This kid is interesting."
After saying that, Xiao Ran picked up the roast duck that he had eaten to the point where only its skeleton was left and carefully picked out the remaining duck meat. After eating it cleanly, he threw the eighth portion of the roast duck into the distance.
Then, he reached out and wiped the oil stains off his clothes. "But I don't have time to finish watching your performance. Li Yulin, you old brat actually dared to lie to me. I'll throw that old man's tomb away and see who is buried in it!"
After saying that, this pavilion master, who looked extremely bloated, actually moved and disappeared from where he was at that moment.
…
Nangong Jing finally regained his senses.
She took a deep look at Xu Han and suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart. She did not waste her breath with Xu Han anymore. She was afraid that if she continued speaking, she would not be able to help but attack Xu Han.
So she turned around and said coldly, "Since that's the case, let's begin."
Thus, the surrounding swordsmen responded and stood around the corresponding arena with different grades. Although it was said that death and injury were inevitable in a battle, once one side admitted defeat, the swordsmen would quickly take action to stop the two sides and avoid unnecessary killing. In a sense, Xu Han's remarks were not only a contempt for the Crimson Firmament Sect, but also a provocation to these swordsmen.
Not to mention whether a Heavenly Hunt Realm junior could defeat Lu Houde, who had become famous in the Great Evolution Realm for a long time, And that one in a million chance really happened to Xu Han. As long as Lu Houde admitted defeat, they would take action. They would not give Xu Han a chance. This was related to the face of the Sword Handling Pavilion. Therefore, the sword handlers in charge of the Golden Handling Arena were all silent and solemn.
At that time, everyone around them also put away their surprise. Apart from the few people involved, what Xu Han did and didn't do was just a conversation after dinner for them. The most important thing was how to pass the competition between the swordsmen.
The arena of the three-colored swordsman was once again divided, The bronze clan was split into four pieces, the silver clan into two, and the gold clan remained unchanged. In other words, the bronze clan's four matches were held at the same time, while the silver clan's two matches were held at the same time. The golden clan would never let the battle between experts of the Great Evolution Realm end in a hasty manner. In addition, the cultivator's power was so great that it was difficult for him to execute it one match at a time.
In this way, it would only be more than ten battles. However, every single one of them, even the lowest level Copper Deacon, was an expert in Great Xia Jianghu, and they all had their own futures at stake. Unless their strengths were greatly different, they would most likely spend a lot of time. Xu Han, who was ranked at the bottom of the line, did not have four to five hours of time. It was probably not his turn.
"This Sword Handling Pavilion has really dug into Grandma's house." It was already dark, and Xu Han and the others had arranged for the next round of battles. Everyone was not in a hurry, and they all stood by the side to watch the battles that had already begun pass the time. However, as he stood there, Hero Chu began to complain, "It's fine if we don't have any food, not even a chair. Shall we just stand there and wait for the battle to begin?"
"You can also sit." Fang Ziyu glanced at Chu Chouli and said calmly.
"This is not a matter of sitting still." Chu Chouli waved his hand and continued to complain, "This swordsman is at least known as the Great Xia Jianghu's grand gathering every five years. It doesn't matter if you see that there are no spectators. There are still matches one after another, not to mention taking a break between matches. In these ten or so matches, it's still from dark to dawn."
"You're the only one who's busy!" Fang Ziyu rolled his eyes. It seemed that he was extremely displeased with Chu Chouli's long-winded personality.
The middle-aged man was rejected by Miss Fang, but this still couldn't extinguish his malicious speculation about the Sword Handling Pavilion's temperament. So he turned around excitedly and looked at Xu Han, who was standing beside him. He said with a flying mouth, "Xiao Han, do you think the Sword Handling Pavilion was eaten poor by that Pavilion Master?" "Look at that fatty's body. He looks like a rice bucket that can fix ten people. So, in order to save money, he concentrated everything on one day, so that he can arrange room for us?"
Hearing this, Xu Han shook his head helplessly.
'"Behind the Sword Handling Pavilion is the support of the Dragon Hidden Temple and the Imperial Court. Both sides rely on him to control the Jianghu forces that are stronger than Great Xia every year. The amount of money they allocate each year is comparable to half of the Sword Dragon Pass of Great Zhou. How could they be short of money? Although I don't know why they arrange this, he probably has some considerations that we don't know." Xu Han said. Although he did not know what the Sword Handling Pavilion was planning, Chu Chouli's guess was too ridiculous. No one would believe it.
At that time, Fang Ziyu also finished his sentence and mocked, "You are called a commoner. How do you know what an immortal thinks?"
"What commoner? I, someone from Chu, am from…"
Thus, dissatisfied with Chu Chouli, he began to shout loudly, trying to prove that his guess was reasonable and well-founded.
As for Miss Fang, she was also not a person who was willing to suffer losses. The two of them exchanged blows and quarreled endlessly. Xu Han, who was sandwiched in the middle, could only smile bitterly.
However, what the three of them didn't know was that when they were talking about this, Nangong Jing, who happened to be standing at the side watching the battles, almost staggered and fell to the ground when he heard this.
Because Hero Chu's deductions were astonishingly similar to certain facts…
…
Time slowly flowed. Everyone on the arena fought to the death, but Hero Chu felt a little sleepy watching.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, it was Fang Ziyu's turn to play.
Originally, in Xu Han's plan, he and Fang Ziyu were opponents. He chose to challenge Lu Houde, so if Fang Ziyu lost his opponent, he should be promoted to Swordsman like Guang Lingui.
However, it was mostly because Xu Han offended that Nangong Jing. She actually used the excuse that she could not directly advance without guarding the next area alone. She chose one of the eliminated people as Fang Ziyu's opponent. Originally, Chu Chouli was extremely dissatisfied with such a decision, clamoring to argue with Nangong Jing. However, Fang Ziyu stopped him, expressing his willingness to move his fists and feet.
At this moment, it was already the time of ugliness. However, apart from Chu Chouli, who was a wandering object, the atmosphere of everyone present was extremely high. After all, they were all experts above the Heavenly Hunt Realm. Not to mention sleeping late, even if they didn't sleep for a few days or nights, it wouldn't have much of an impact on them. At this moment, the competition had entered a white-hot stage. The losers had long since left the arena, leaving behind either the excited people who had already won, or the people who were rubbing their hands or feeling uneasy for the upcoming battle.
Compared to these people, Fang Ziyu was more like an outsider.
Her expression was calm. She didn't know what she was chatting with Xue Ning about. From time to time, bursts of laughter could be heard from her mouth, as if she didn't care about the upcoming duel at all. It wasn't until the swordsman called her name that the girl put away her smile and walked out.
Xu Han and the others weren't sure of Fang Ziyu's current strength. Although she did look confident, they still reminded her to be more careful when she stepped onto the arena. After all, in the Swordsman Competition, there was no mediocre person who could reach this final step.
The girl, however, did not turn her head and casually waved her hand at the crowd. Her body jumped and landed on the arena like a swallow.
Fang Ziyu's opponent was a twenty-eight-nine-year-old man with a snowy spear in his hand. His cultivation was at the peak of Heavenly Hunt, and he could barely be considered to be above average in this bronze handle. Seeing Fang Ziyu, he was slightly stunned. Obviously, he was somewhat surprised by this opponent who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.
However, he also understood that reasoning. He quickly put away his strange expression and stared at Fang Ziyu.
When the swordsman who was in charge of monitoring the match gave the order, the man's expression sank. He stretched out his spear, stepped forward, retreated, and spread out his posture. His aura surged, and an eagle phantom spread its wings behind him.
The man seemed to secretly feel that it was an extremely shameful thing to face a "weak woman". Before he made his move, he even said to Fang Ziyu Rushi, "Sorry…"
However, before he could finish his sentence, a purple light suddenly lit up in Fang Ziyu's eyes. Then, the girl's body flashed and she actually disappeared from where she was.
The man with the spear was stunned. He thought to himself, "Not good." At that moment, he waved the spear in his hand. A dense spear image appeared in front of him, wrapping around his body. The eagle phantom behind him suddenly stretched out its wings and wrapped around him. He didn't know where Fang Ziyu was, but his speed was already a great indication of Fang Ziyu's strength. However, at this moment, he could not find an opportunity to attack, so he could only defend with all his might.
With this thought in mind, the gun-wielding man looked around vigilantly.
However, in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The man was stunned and was about to attack.
At that time, Fang Ziyu's eyes lit up with a wisp of purple light. Her lush white palm stretched out, and purple light lingered around her arm. As a result, the man's eagle True Spirit's wings suddenly seemed to have been corroded and collapsed. The spear in his hand was like a blazing fire, instantly turning into powder.
Fang Ziyu's palm continued to move forward and landed on the man's chest.
The man was shocked. He was about to circulate all the True Essence in his body to fight, but at that time, the True Essence in his body seemed to have solidified. No matter how he activated it, he did not react at all. He could only watch helplessly as Fang Ziyu's palm landed on his chest.
The man's face turned deathly pale as he waited for the fate of being defeated to fall on him.
Fang Ziyu's palm, which was less than half an inch from his chest, suddenly stopped.
"Huh?" The man was stunned, his gaze blank and puzzled.
However, Fang Ziyu blinked at him with a smile on his face and said, "I have offended you."
Pu!
Then, a muffled snort sounded, and the man's body flew out of the arena.
…
"How is it? Is this miss powerful?" Young Miss Fang, who had won in a devastating manner, returned to the place where everyone was. She clapped her hands proudly and looked at Chu Chouli, who was still in a daze. Her smile became even brighter.
Chu Chouli was naturally speechless. Although Xu Han's expression was calm, However, he was also extremely shocked in his heart. Ever since Fang Ziyu left Chang'an, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a little more than a year. Although Fang Ziyu's cultivation was not bad before, it was far from formidable. But now, she was able to defeat a master at the Heavenly Hunt Realm so easily. This kind of improvement was no longer something that could be described by the word'shen speed '.
Thinking about it, the so-called "Heavenly Art of Devouring Demons" was indeed extraordinary.
An hour later, it was Yan Zhan's turn to attack.
His opponent was a famous cultivator of the Great Evolution Realm. When he reached this realm, the difference in strength was naturally the decisive factor for victory and defeat. However, it was not limited to this. The control of the battle, the adaptability to the situation on the spot, and even the aura and courage in a battle would change the outcome of a battle.
Ever since Yan Zhan came from the Demon Heaven Sect and brought Xue Ning to the horizon, he had been hunted down by countless people from the Crimson Firmament Sect. The transformation he had undergone during this kind of slaughter gave him some natural advantages when facing cultivators of the same realm.
Although the opponent was extremely tenacious, and his cultivation was at the same level as Yan Zhong's, relying on his strong posture of risking his life and his decisive action, Yan Zhan finally seized an opportunity to defeat the opponent after fighting for more than half an hour.
When the injured Yan Zhan returned to the arena, Xue Ning was the first to rush up to support the injured man. Her face was filled with heartache and concern, but the man did not care. Instead, he comforted Xue Ning. Their glue-like appearances landed in the eyes of the distant Hu Man'er. The viciousness in the woman's eyes took a deep breath.
As time passed, the sky gradually lit up, and the battle between the bronze and silver holders gradually came to an end.
Although it was a pity, Hu Man'er and Xing Zhen had also defeated their opponents by relying on the powerful techniques of the Crimson Firmament Sect, advancing to the Golden-robed Swordsman realm. Along with the final pair of contestants on the Golden Hand Arena deciding victory and defeat, the battle between Xu Han and Lu Houde, which everyone was looking forward to, also began.
"It's not too late for Little Frost Gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Why don't we admit defeat and not be embarrassed?" After the great battle, Chu Chouli retreated for Xu Han. However, he seemed to know the real reason behind Xu Han's actions. Chu Chouli's voice was not as rough as usual at this moment. It had a cautious tone, probably because he was afraid of touching the scar in Xu Han's heart.
However, Xu Han smiled at Chu Chouli and said, "Don't worry, Big Brother Chu. I just want to give it a try. If I'm not like my opponent, I'll immediately admit defeat."
Xu Han's words were naturally incomparably relaxed, but everyone who was familiar with his temperament knew that the killing intent in Xu Han's heart had already been decided. This battle between him and Lu Houde was likely to end in endless endless death.
However, after receiving Xu Han's reply, they all put away their thoughts of dissuasion. Not only did they understand that Xu Han's temperament meant that he would not act so recklessly if he wasn't confident in his decision, but they also knew that Xu Han, who had come this far, couldn't listen to any of them.
"Why aren't you coming up? Are you afraid? Then kneel down and admit defeat!" At this moment, Lu Houde 's voice suddenly rang out. After suppressing his anger for an entire night, he finally found a place to vent his anger. He jumped onto the arena early and waited for Xu Han's arrival. At this moment, he didn't leave any room to mock Xu Han.
But even though he was clamoring for Xu Han to admit defeat, Lu Houde couldn't wait for Xu Han to fight him faster.
He had fought with Xu Han several times, With his Heavenly Hunt realm, The combat power he could unleash was astonishing. However, compared to himself as a Great Evolution Realm cultivator, he was still much weaker. In this past month or so, he had even given Xu Han a jar of miraculous pills. In Lu Houde's view, this youth had absolutely no chance of defeating him. If he could make good use of this opportunity, he might be able to eliminate this calamity once and for all today.
"It seems that I have wrongly blamed Elder Lu." However, Xu Han did not disappoint Lu Houde. At that time, his body leapt up and landed on the side of the arena. He looked at Lu Houde with a smile and said, "I used to think that Elder Lu was a shameless jackal, but now it seems that Elder Lu is a loyal and loyal person who values love and righteousness."
However, the compliments he spat out from Xu Han's mouth at this moment caused Lu Houde to be confused.
However, with the experience of being rendered speechless by Xu Han a few times before, this Elder Lu also had a long memory. He sneered and said, "Humph? Kid, stop fighting with this old man here. Since you're fighting, you've become more skilled. It's the woman who wants to take advantage of your tongue!"
"What I said next is not a compliment, but a genuine admiration."
"After all, Elder Lu is so anxious to meet that Mr. Feng Tongzheng. This brotherhood and fellow sect affection really touched me!" Xu Han said sincerely as if he could not hear the mockery in Lu Houde's words. "After all, Elder Lu is so anxious to meet that Mr. Feng Tongzheng."
When Xu Han said those words, the surrounding people couldn't understand why.
However, only Lu Houde, Hu Man'er, and Xing Zhen's expressions changed at that time.
The Feng Tongzheng that Xu Han spoke of was none other than the Great Evolution Realm Elder that the Crimson Firmament Sect had secretly sent to the Heng Imperial City a few days ago.
