Xu Chen held the Blood Shadow Sword in his hand and looked calmly at the fiercely killing Man Qi.
Man Qi has completely transformed into a beast, and his defense, speed, and strength have all been significantly improved. Now, he is probably capable of fighting even a ninth-level warrior of the Qi Creation Realm.
"Hoo~"
Man Qi swept towards him with overwhelming demonic energy. After turning into a beast, he raised his beast claws, rolled up the majestic demonic aura, and slapped Xu Chen fiercely.
"Peng! Peng! Peng!"
Before the huge beast's claw fell, the air around Xu Chen began to explode under the terrifying power of the beast's claw.
Fortunately, what Xu Chen was standing on at this moment was a giant arena made of special metal materials, otherwise the ground beneath his feet would definitely crack and collapse in pieces.
"boom!"
The beast's claws fell hard, the huge arena trembled violently, and the earth-shattering collision formed sound waves that swept out in all directions.
The faces of those warriors who were too close to the ring changed slightly at this moment, and then they quickly retreated and covered their ears with their hands.
Even so.
There were also a few unlucky ones who didn't react in time. Their ears were bleeding due to the impact of the sound waves, and they temporarily lost their hearing.
Under Man Qi's angry slap, Xu Chen's figure exploded, turning into countless fragments and dissipating.
However.
Man Qi was not happy but reacted with surprise.
Because what exploded was just an afterimage of Xu Chen left in place.
The moment Man Qi reacted, a cold light suddenly appeared, and with a pop, Man Qi felt a pain in his chest. Then, a wisp of blood shot out, and his body was like a kite with its string broken, uncontrollably.
It flew out upside down.
A touch.
Man Qi flew upside down for hundreds of meters and fell heavily to the ground.
"Roar~"
Man Qi roared unwillingly, ignoring the sword mark on his chest that almost cut open his internal organs. Just as he was about to struggle to stand up, a cold voice suddenly sounded from beside him.
"Do not move!"
Hearing this voice, Man Qi's struggling movements paused. Then, he saw Xu Chen appeared in front of him at some point, holding a long sword, looking down at him condescendingly, and the tip of the Blood Shadow Sword
Right against his neck.
As long as he makes any movement, the Blood Shadow Sword will tear open his neck and chop off his head without hesitation.
A hint of unwillingness flashed across Man Qi's eyes.
Finally, his hands drooped down.
"I lost this game!"
Man Qi admitted defeat.
As Man Qi surrendered.
Everyone in the audience immediately started talking.
There are no losers who can reach the fourth level, but seeing Xu Chen's performance, they couldn't help but be amazed.
"Hi~ It's amazing. This Xu Chen is indeed one of the dark horses in this year's Shenglong Ranking. He first defeated Ye Wentian, and now he even defeated Man Qi. I bet that Xu Chen can definitely reach the top in the end.
Ten!"
"This Xu Chen is so terrifying. Not only does he understand 80% of the sword's intention, but he is also incredibly fast. His attack and speed are both top-notch. It's too difficult to defeat him!"
"No surprise, this Xu Chen should be a master at the same level as Shi Kong, Ye Qianxing and the others!"
"Looking at Xu Chen's age, he should be no more than thirty years old, and his talent is barely adequate. Let's continue to see his performance. If he performs well and satisfies me, I can make an exception and accept him as my servant!"
Zhan Wujue stared at Xu Chen and commented.
At this moment, he was still looking down on Xu Chen from a high position. He didn't take Xu Chen seriously at all, let alone regard Xu Chen as an opponent of the same level.
In his opinion, it was a stroke of luck that Xu Chen could become his servant.
Huangfu Ling said: "Brother Zhan, if I remember correctly, you have already taken in sixteen servants. I seem to like this Xu Chen, how about you give it to me?"
Seeing that Zhan Wujue did not let up, Huangfuling continued: "Brother Zhan, he is just a boy born in a remote area. There is no need to be determined to win. Let's do this. I will take out a heaven-level elixir and you give this boy to me.
That’s all right!”
"Wait!"
Xin Zhao also stepped in and said, "I also like this guy!"
"You three are all fighting. If I don't fight, it will make me look like I don't belong to the group. Let's do this. This kid belongs to me!"
Zhou Wuya spread his hands and said.
"How about the four of us make a bet?" Seeing the other three people participating, Zhan Wujue suddenly suggested.
"What bet?"
"What kind of bet?"
"What's the stakes?"
Huangfu Ling and the other three spoke one after another.
Zhan Wujue said with a smile: "Let's bet on who accepts Xu Chen as a servant last, and whoever accepts Xu Chen as a servant first, whoever wins, and the other three will automatically admit defeat, how about it? If I lose, I will
The heaven-level low-level Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body Forging Pill in your hand is given to the winner as a congratulatory gift!"
"keep your word!"
Huangfuling's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to say: "If I lose, I will take out a heaven-level elixir!"
Zhou Wuya was unwilling to be seconded, and said: "I have a heaven-level martial arts that I accidentally obtained, the Poison Yin Hand. In terms of value, it is not inferior to the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body Forging Pill, nor is it inferior to the low-level spiritual medicine of the heaven.
It’s more than enough as a bet!”
As Zhou Wuya finished speaking, the three of them looked at Xin Zhao at the same time.
Seeing Zhan Wujue and the other three looking at him, Xin Zhao naturally would not back down at this moment, and said with a smile: "I have a magical elixir in my hand that can extend life for a hundred years, so let's use it as a bet!"
After the four people finished placing their bets, they looked at each other, and then all looked at Xu Chen who was walking down from the ring.
at the same time.
Xu Chen felt something in his heart, and followed the four unabashed gazes, and then saw the four Zhan Wujue looking at him nakedly.
now.
There were many people sizing him up or down, but the gazes of the four Zhan Wujue made Xu Chen displeased the most, because they were the gazes of a hunter when sizing up his prey.
Xu Chen glanced at Zhan Wujue and the other four, and then calmly withdrew his gaze.
"Zhou Wuya, what are you doing?"
Zhao Xin suddenly called out to Zhou Wuya who was walking towards Xu Chen.
Zhou Wuya turned around and said with a smile: "What else can I do? Of course I will take Xu Chen as my servant!"
Zhan Wujue, Huangfuling, and Zhao Xin were all interested.
At this moment, Zhou Wuya blatantly went over to take Xu Chen as his servant. I wonder if the latter would agree.
I'm afraid most of them will refuse.
Xu Chen found an open space and was about to sit down cross-legged when he suddenly saw Zhou Wuya walking towards him. Thinking of the way the latter looked at him just now, he frowned slightly and there was a hint of repulsion in his voice.
Said: "Is something wrong?"
"Xu Chen, my name is Zhou Wuya. I come from one of the top forces in Qingzhou. I won't waste my time talking to you this time. I will directly explain my purpose. I want to accept you as my servant and give you three breaths."
Consider the time and hope you can make the best decision for yourself."
Zhou Wuya said in a giving tone.
His tone gave people a feeling of charity. It was as if accepting Xu Chen as his servant was a gift to Xu Chen.
Xu Chen narrowed his eyes and laughed angrily.
Take him as your servant?
Still a giving tone.
I never expected that there would be such an arrogant person.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked with a sneer: "Do I still want to shed tears of gratitude?"
Zhou Wuya frowned slightly.
He naturally heard the suppressed anger in Xu Chen's words.
But so what?
In the face of absolute power, even if it is a dragon, it will be coiled by me, and even if it is a tiger, I will let it lie down.
Besides.
In his eyes, Xu Chen is not a dragon or a tiger, just an ant that can arouse some interest in him.
The current rise and fall of this ant all depends on his thoughts.
"To tell you the truth, I have seen too many talented people like you. If it weren't for the bet, I wouldn't even bother to take someone like you as a servant."
Zhou Wuya's posture was still aloof, turning a blind eye to Xu Chen's eyes that turned cold, and continued: "If you miss this village, there will be no such store. Remember, this may be the biggest opportunity in your life. It depends on whether you can grasp it.
Live!"
Zhou Wuya chattered endlessly.
It seemed like it would be Xu Chen's loss if he didn't kneel down and prostrate himself immediately.
Xu Chen responded coldly, "I don't know what power you come from, and I'm not interested in the power behind you, let alone become your servant."
After saying that, Xu Chen turned around and gave Zhou Wuya a slap on the back of the head. If the latter had any sense, he would definitely not bother with Xu Chen's attitude at this moment.
But Zhou Wuya was eager to win the bet...
"Go away~"
Xu Chen was annoyed by Zhou Wuya's pestering, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted coldly.
His shout was not suppressed.
Everyone around heard it.
They looked at each other one after another.
Zhou Wuya's face froze.
Immediately afterwards.
A cold murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
A kid from a remote area, with some talent and no knowledge of the world, dared to tell him to get out in front of everyone. He simply didn't know how to live or die.
"Okay, very good, you ignorant boy, you will pay a heavy price for your actions!"
Throw down the next threat.
Zhou Wuya turned around and left.
"I am waiting!"
Xu Chen retorted without showing any signs of weakness.
He knew that Zhou Wuya was very strong and difficult to deal with, but if the other party wanted to make him pay a heavy price, it would depend on whether the other party was qualified enough.
"Zhou Wuya is frustrated. It seems that Xu Chen has a bad temper!" Huangfu Ling said with a smile.
Zhan Wujue chuckled and said: "I know the people in these remote areas best. Although their knowledge is limited, they are very arrogant. It would be strange for people like Zhou Wuya to go up to them and accept them as their servants. It would be strange if they don't feel embarrassed."
Huangfu Ling said: "It seems that Brother Zhan has a lot of experience!"
"These people are like wolves in the jungle, wild and untamable. If you want to train them into obedient dogs, the first thing to do is to crush their proud strength, beat them down completely, and let them know that
They are actually just a bunch of poor people with little knowledge."
Zhan Wujue smiled and said slowly: "After crushing their arrogance, it's time to throw them a few bones. Let them know that if you follow you, there will be bones to eat. If you can't attract them even with bones, you should use
The knife... first the bones and then the knife, no matter how bad-tempered the wolf is, will gradually be trained into an obedient dog!"
Zhan Wujue's remarks about dog training made Zhao Xin and Huangfu Ling nod their heads in agreement.
…
When a verbal conflict broke out between Xu Chen and Zhou Wuya, a new game on the stage had already begun. One of the parties in the game was Xu Chen's old acquaintance, Mo Longzi, and his opponent was just a newbie.
A warrior who has recently reached the fifth level.
There is no doubt that Mo Longzi won, he defeated his opponent with one move.
The competition was carried out in an orderly manner.
Zhan Wujue also came on stage, but after his opponent saw it was him, he chose to admit defeat cleanly.
Zhou Wuya, Zhao Xin, and Huangfuling also came on stage one after another. Their opponents either chose to admit defeat directly or suffered a disastrous defeat with one move!
Young giants such as Shi Kong, Li Yudao, and Ning Lu also came on stage. Soon, the first round of competition ended, and then the second round of competition began without stopping.
In the second round, Xu Chen’s opponent simply chose to admit defeat.
From the second to the fifth round, Xu Chen's opponents all chose to admit defeat.
In the sixth round, Xu Chen’s opponent was an old acquaintance, Shi Yan!
Shi Yan has broken through to the seventh level of Qi Creation Realm.
Although his cultivation level had broken through and his strength had increased dramatically, when he faced Xu Chen again, he was still weak. After some psychological struggle, he decisively chose to admit defeat.
Xu Chen originally thought he would fight Shi Yan, with his sword unsheathed. Unexpectedly, Shi Yan actually gave up.
Sheathing the sword, Xu Chen nodded to Shi Yan, and then jumped off the ring.
The seventh round, the eighth round...
Round 11.
Xu Chen finally met an opponent who didn't take the initiative to admit defeat.
Bai Daowen.
In the first level, Bai Daowen's points were also in the top twenty.
Bai Daowen, who was dressed in blood, flashed and rushed onto the ring. He grabbed the five fingers of his right hand and a sword appeared in his hand.
Seeing Xu Chen boarding the ring, Bai Daowen said: "In the first level, after you obtained the dragon corpse, I hunted you all over the world, but while hunting you, I accidentally discovered a ruins.
I gained a lot from the ruins, and my strength improved by leaps and bounds in just two or three months!"
"Your sword intention has reached the 80% level. Let me remind you, my sword intention has also reached the 80% level, and my cultivation has reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi creation. If you don't want to get hurt, you can admit defeat now!"
After Bai Daowen finished speaking, everyone in the audience exclaimed.
"What, Bai Daowen actually understood 80% of the sword's intention?"
"Eighty percent of the sword intent, and his cultivation is at the peak of the eighth level of the Qi Creation Realm. Bai Daowen has already reached the level of a giant. It will not be a problem to break into the top ten!"
"He hides his strength too hard!"
"With 80% sword intent, Bai Daowen is probably the number one young swordsman in the wilderness!"
Knife Intent, like Sword Intent, is extremely difficult to comprehend and difficult to improve, and the further you go, the harder it becomes to improve.
Especially after reaching 70%, every 10% increase will consume several times the time and energy!
Among the younger generation in the wilderness, those who have reached the stage of minor success in sword intent and sword intent can be called geniuses. Those under the age of 100 who have reached 70 percent or above are definitely rare.
"Eighty percent sword intent? This boy named Bai Daowen is also very talented. You can consider making him a servant."
Zhan Wujue said calmly.
Huangfu Ling said: "Although Bai Daowen has understood the sword intention to 80% level, he is much older than Xu Chen and his talent is obviously not as good as Xu Chen. I am still more inclined to accept Xu Chen as my servant!"
Zhan Wujue said: "One has comprehended 80% of the Sword Intent, and the other has comprehended 80% of the Sword Intent. If we take them all as servants and train them well, it should not be difficult for these two dogs to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm."
"Brother Zhan is right."
"After what you said, I want to accept them as my servants more and more!"
Xu Chen stared at Bai Daowen opposite him, licked his mouth and said, "It's interesting, let me see which one is stronger between 80% Sword Intent and 80% Sword Intent!"
