Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Beginning of Chaos
The temperature rose slightly, and the long-lost sunshine broke through the sky again.
Dangkou Mountain, foot of the mountain.
The place was packed with people who came to join in the fun.
"Make way! Everyone, make way!" The guards dispersed the crowd to the outside.
Three jade chariots pulled by bloody horses galloped into the venue, and the three city lords of Star City on the jade chariots waved to the people.
"The Lord of Tonghua Star City - Gongsun Sheng has arrived!"
"The Lord of Yulong Star City-Liu Rulan has arrived!"
"The Lord of Han Mingxing City-Zhang Xiong has arrived!"
The onlookers burst into enthusiastic cheers. No matter what time, those in power will always be favored by the public.
"Xu~"
The jade chariot stopped, and the three city lords took the lead to walk onto the temporarily built viewing platform, followed by the young people they were optimistic about.
Those people were high-spirited at this time, looking around the crowd, some with unbridled expressions and aloofness.
"Are those people also here to participate in the martial arts competition?"
"I'm sure. Hey, I don't know if my kid can pass the exam!"
"These people look really strong!"
Listening to the discussions of the blind people below, their eyes became even more arrogant.
But not everyone is like this, and some people are looking at each other warily. After all, there are only five places for martial arts candidates this time!
Chen Rui is one of them.
However, her eyes were not entirely focused on the people around her. Her focus was mainly on the crowd below.
Ouyang Xi watched all this with cold eyes in the crowd.
His waist card is 39. I wonder if he has a special connection with this number. It was also the same number during Wu Xiucai's competition.
Xiang Yuntian and Mr. Meng were also mixed in the crowd at this time.
Mr. Meng looked at the sun and whispered: "According to the plan, the military leaders will attack the city soon!"
"It doesn't matter, our mission is to clear away these little shrimps as much as possible and deal a blow to Da Li's momentum!" Xiang Yuntian said with a smile.
He looked at the young heroes on the stage, and a cruel arc appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Just imagine, Da Li can't even guarantee the life safety of these scholars, what else can it guarantee?"
At this time, Gongsun Sheng stepped forward, stretched out his hands and pressed down, and the whole place fell into silence.
"Everyone, the martial arts competition is about to begin. As for the rules, I believe you all should know them in advance. I won't go into details here."
He raised a badge in his hand and said: "The number above indicates which pass you want to enter the mountain from. Someone will take you to the designated location later."
"Everyone, work hard to climb up! The long history of the three major star cities are already waiting for you at the top of the mountain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into roars, and everyone was cheering for their relatives and friends.
"Dalang, it doesn't matter if you didn't pass the exam. Come back next time!"
"Son, you must pass the exam this time. My father is almost bankrupt trying to practice martial arts for you. Our family is counting on you to return to the top!"
Soon, the martial arts scholars who came from all over Yunpi Road and the young people brought by the three major city lords were taken to different places by the guards.
Dangkou Mountain is so big that even with so many people participating, the distance between two adjacent number plates is immeasurable.
"Master Ouyang, this is your pass." The guard in charge of Ouyang Xi said with a smile.
"If there is anything else you need to do, my lord, just give me your orders!"
"No, you did very well. Go back." Ouyang Xi smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Yes! I'm resigning." After saying that, he withdrew.
In front of you is a pass surrounded by mist, which vaguely seems to be the bloody mouth of an ancient beast, waiting for prey to come.
Bang bang!
The sound of the salute resounded over the entire Dangkou Mountain, which means that the Martial Arts Competition has officially begun from now on!
Tonghua Star City.
"Here, what was that sound just now? It made my eardrums hurt!" Ma Li said in pain.
Just now, he and his colleagues were scolding the person who asked for leave to go home. It was originally agreed that it would only be one day, but in the end, he was asked to take over the shift today.
It’s not a thing anymore!
"Sir, what was that sound just now?" asked the young guard guarding the city with him.
Ma Li remembered him. He was only sixteen years old this year. He had a sister and a seriously ill mother at home. Their lives now depended on his small salary.
"I don't know!" Ma Li shook his head and frowned.
For some reason, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
The people in the city were also stunned by the huge roar just now, and they all looked a little panicked.
"Aniang, look over there!" A girl, being carried on her mother's back, pointed to the outside of the city and said timidly.
In the distance, at the junction of heaven and earth, a row of black figures swept in like locusts. As thousands of horses galloped, the earth shook.
"Clean up the world!"
Wow~
A large flag fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound. The flag was engraved with buffalo embroidery, which was lifelike.
That is the flag of the Second Army of the Disaster Army.
"Ah! A large army is attacking the city!"
"Quickly, let us in quickly, we don't want to die!"
The people at the city gate suddenly became panicked and swarmed inside.
Many people in front were immediately pushed to the ground. The girl who spoke just now was crying and begging, and her painful face gradually disappeared into the crowd that was crowding in from all directions.
"Arm up!"
"Arm up!"
Ma Ma shouted at the top of his lungs, and at the same time quickly gathered the people at the city gate into the city, and immediately closed the city gate.
"The city lord, did you send someone to notify him?" Malila asked a guard.
"No~no, the direction they came from is the direction the city lord left, and they can't get out at all now!" the guard said in panic, the hand holding the weapon was shaking.
"Come on! Bring up all five sets of heavy crossbows and be ready at any time!"
Although there is an inspection department in the city to maintain order, it is of no use.
All the people were like frightened birds, running away like crazy.
"Don't panic! Everyone go home and guard the door, we will defend the city!" Li Hui ran back and forth in various towns, trying his best to appease the people's hearts.
"My child, have you seen my child?"
In the chaos, an unkempt woman grabbed Li Hui's sleeve and refused to let go, asking anxiously.
"Sister, don't worry, tell me what your child will look like..." Before Li Hui could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
He lowered his head and saw that a rusty dagger was stirring crazily in his abdomen, and blood was pouring out.
"You!" Li Hui looked at her in disbelief.
