Under Shangguan Peng's instruction, starting from Shi Yi, all the city lords who were originally ranked behind Chu Tian were ordered to participate in the test by the demon guards in advance. Only Chu Tian seemed to be forgotten and stood quietly in the competition.
On the field.
When there were only five city lords left in the field, Chu Tian stretched out his hand to stop a city lord who came forward from behind him.
"How presumptuous!" the demon guards who announced the order screamed in the stands.
Chu Tian raised his head calmly, his eyes shot like lightning at the demon guard who issued the order, and said calmly: "I'm afraid you are the one who is presumptuous!"
As soon as these words came out, the demon guard who announced the order was immediately furious, and an undisguised murderous intention flashed in the eyes of Shangguan Peng, who was sitting at the top.
The demon guard who issued the order was about to retort, but saw Shangguan Peng slowly walking down from his seat, and quickly stepped aside.
Shangguan Peng walked to the stands, looked down at Chu Tian below, and said: "The rules of this competition field are set by me. If you want to participate in the competition, you must obey the rules set by me. If you don't want to obey, then you can do it."
I get out of Huoyun County, you are not welcome here!"
Shangguan Peng's tone was extremely domineering. He didn't care at all about the discussion below and looked at Chu Tian with murderous intent in his eyes.
"This Shangguan Peng is so overbearing that he doesn't even care about the people the princess protects!" A demonic citizen said angrily.
"It is precisely because this Chutian is the person protected by the princess that Shangguanpeng suppresses him everywhere. In my opinion, let alone whether this Chutian can ring the Fire Cloud Gong five times, even if he can ring it, he will enter the competition.
There will also be many obstacles!”
"Shangguan Peng is very ambitious. Now most of the military and political affairs in the county are in his hands. He has long been interested in rebelling!"
"But this new princess is too shameful. She didn't come to participate in such an important matter as the commander-in-chief competition. This great opportunity was given to these four elders. Alas..."
On the stand, Hua Qiangu said with a smile: "Commander Beitang, the person chosen by the princess, something is not good now!"
Beitang Ao snorted coldly and looked at Shangguan Peng with a chill in his eyes.
Chu Tian looked at Shangguan Peng calmly, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth. However, this smile was extremely unpleasant in Shangguan Peng's eyes.
"Any rules in Huoyun County, if I, Chu Tian, remember correctly, should be made by the princess. Now that the old princess and the new princess are still alive, why is it not your turn, the fourth elder, to make the decision?"
Chu Tian smiled and counterattacked unceremoniously.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Peng's eyes became more and more murderous. He looked at Chu Tian with contempt and said, "Junior cultivator, do you know who you are talking to? Now that the princess is not here, I am the biggest man in this competition. As the city lord,
You actually committed the crime below and deliberately caused trouble in the battle for the commander-in-chief of Huoyun County... Come on, take it down for me!"
As soon as these words came out, all the city lords were shocked. They naturally understood that the four elders suppressed Chu Tian in this way because they did not want Chu Tian to enter the competition and compete for the position of commander.
But what they don't understand is why the four elders are so afraid of Chu Tian, and they try their best to suppress Chu Tian in this qualification test regardless of their status. It seems that if Chu Tian enters the competition, he can defeat them all.
Same!
"Fourth Elder, please show mercy!" In the stands, Beitang Ao stood up in a hurry and bowed respectfully to Shangguan Peng.
"Oh, what does Commander Beitang have to say?" Shangguan Peng smiled half-heartedly and turned to look at Beitang Ao.
"This person is also the city lord of my Huoyun County, and is qualified for the Grand Competition. And although the test rules do not clearly stipulate who comes first, but according to the previous practice, he is in front, so naturally he should take the test first..." Bei
Tang Ao was neither humble nor arrogant. He spoke loudly, and his voice resounded throughout the competition arena, intending for everyone to hear.
Shangguan Peng's eyes flashed coldly, and he asked coldly: "Commander Beitang, are you blaming me?"
"I don't dare, I just hope that the fourth elder will give Chu Tian another chance!" Beitang Ao raised his head, his eyes burning!
"Hahaha, okay, Commander-in-Chief Beitang really cherishes his talents." Shangguan Peng suddenly burst into laughter. He withdrew his eyes from Beitang Ao and fell on Chu Tian below, saying: "I'll give it to Beitang."
As a courtesy to the commander-in-chief, I will give you another chance. Not only that, if you can ring five times, I will personally recommend you to the princess to be the commander-in-chief."
As soon as this statement came out, there was once again an uproar below!
"Thank you, Fourth Elder!" Beitang Ao breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Shangguan Peng again.
"You don't have to thank me. This opportunity is for you, not for him. If he can't knock five times, it won't be too late to cause trouble in the competition arena!" Shangguan Peng said calmly.
"I will fight for the position of commander-in-chief. You don't need to recommend it to the princess. Of course, I know you said it casually. You never thought that I could ring five times." Chu Tian continued to smile, but in his eyes
The chill is stronger.
Shangguan Peng looked sarcastic and said: "You are quite self-aware, so if you ring five times, I can grant your request!"
Chu Tian's face had bloomed like a flower. He nodded and said: "The fourth elder insists on favoring Chu Tian, so that's fine. My requirements are not high. If I ring five times and you kowtow five times, how about you?"
?”
"Presumptuous!" Shangguanpeng's people immediately stood up and shouted angrily in the stands and on the competition ground.
"It doesn't matter!" Shangguan Peng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, he waved his hand and said with a disdainful smile: "Isn't it just a few kowtows? Okay, I am in a good mood today, so I will play with you. If you can ring five times,
I will kowtow to you five times. If you can kowtow ten times, it doesn’t matter if I kowtow ten times. I’m going to let you know today. If you can kowtow five times or more, I will kowtow as many times as you can.
How many heads..."
"But, what if you didn't ring five times?" Shangguan Peng shouted sharply.
"You don't need to do anything, I will die to apologize!" Chu Tian stopped his smile and said coldly.
The demon people who were watching were talking a lot, and they all felt that Chu Tian had overestimated himself.
Especially those city lords who had struck the Huoyun Gong before. When they looked at Chu Tian, they felt that this man was too arrogant.
After all, they had already investigated Chu Tian's cultivation level, but he was only at the seventh level of the Earth Talisman Realm. Among the city lords participating in the competition, he was really at the bottom of the list!
"Don't say it five times, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hit it twice! Once this person feels the terrifying sound of the gong, he will know how absurd his bet is!"
"It's a pity that the princess has placed her hopes on such an arrogant person. I'm afraid that after this competition, Huoyun County will completely fall into the hands of the four elders!"
Chu Tian walked towards Huo Yunluo with a calm expression on his face amidst everyone's discussion. He made no mistakes step by step and took every step extremely calmly.
He did not try to hit Huoyun Gong at close range like the previous city lords, but stopped a hundred meters away from Huoyun Gong.
His body rose into the air and he looked straight at the Fire Cloud Gong. Only then did Chu Tian see that the surface of the gong was not as smooth as a mirror, but there were many tiny bumps on it.
"This is..." Chu Tian's eyes narrowed, and these small pits began to change in his eyes at this moment.
"No wonder there are rune rules contained in the gong sounds. It turns out that the pits on the surface of these gongs are causing trouble. Once the gong is struck, the sound waves will immediately derive rune rules under the action of these pits.
Moreover, the more times it is sounded, the more complex the rune rules will be and the more powerful it will be.
Therefore, in order to prevent the backlash of this rune rule, we must first deduce the arrangement of runes on the gong.
Chu Tian took a deep breath, stepped on the void, and walked slowly towards Huoyun Luo, and soon stood in front of Huoyun Luo. His eyes fell on the surface of the gong, and his whole mind was completely absorbed in deduction.
among.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was already half an hour, but Chu Tian still did not move, just standing in front of Huo Yunluo.
"What is this guy doing? Is he trying to beat the gong or looking at the gong?"
"In my opinion, this person probably felt the terror of the Fire Cloud Gong and knew that he could not ring it five times, so he deliberately delayed it!"
"The human cultivator is really cunning, that is, the fourth elder is kind-hearted, and actually gave this person a chance, and even made a bet with this person. If it were me, I would have executed this person on the spot..."
The crowd has completely exploded, saying anything.
In the stands, Beitang Ao frowned. He didn't know why Chu Tian didn't take action, but Hua Qiangu beside him looked at Chu Tian with a strange expression. No one knew what she was thinking.
Shangguan Peng raised his eyebrows. His cultivation was unfathomable. No one knew what state he had reached. But at this moment, he saw that Chu Tian was not delaying time, but was in a state of deduction.
.
"Did he actually see through the mystery of this Fire Cloud Gong?" Shangguan Peng was shocked, and then shook his head, "Although this gong was obtained outside the Yansha Mountain outside Qinggui City, other than this Fire Cloud Gong
In addition, there is nothing strange in the mountain, and this gong is extremely mysterious. Even I have only been able to deduce the power of the first five rules for so many years. If I want to do it in such a short time, I will never do it.
possible!"
"However, just in case, we can't let him continue!"
Thinking of this, Shangguan Peng's eyes flashed and he shouted angrily: "Junior, you'd better not test my patience. If you don't take action within ten breaths, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
With a sharp shout, Chu Tian slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were clearer than ever before, and an aura that seemed to be able to dominate the world emanated from him, making people around the competition venue watch.
All the demon people could not help but feel the urge to kneel down and worship.
"Bet I can't knock five times... Hahaha," Chu Tian raised his head, smiled slightly at Shangguan Peng who was sitting in the stands, and said loudly: "Fourth Elder, please keep an eye on it!"
After saying that, Chu Tian directly stretched out his right hand and gently patted the Huoyun Gong!
