After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he looked towards the side of the city lord and saw two holy knights standing opposite each other. When the two sides stepped back about twenty steps, they made the same movements to each other, and then an arc-shaped barrier appeared in front of him.
It looks more like a transparent bowl turned upside down.
Xu Qingnian slowly raised his head and looked at the barrier in front of him and smiled: "The city lord has a good idea. In this way, both parties in the competition will have no distracting thoughts."
"Haha, you forgot to mention one thing. This barrier is actually set up for the competition. It has no other use. When the competition comes, whoever is knocked out of the barrier will lose. This is the most fair."
Zhou Tian listened to their descriptions and thought to himself: This barrier is really good, but I don't know what it will look like in the future in my hands.
"Since the city lord has set up the barrier, let me come first. Guarding outside the city is very important. For such an easy competition, it is better to understand it as soon as possible."
The speaker was a soldier wearing cloth armor.
Zhou Tian glanced at him and said slowly to Lao Xu next to him: "This person is so arrogant. I wonder if I don't deal with him properly."
After saying that, Zhou Tian took a step forward and saluted the soldiers: "I have seen this brother outside the city. I hope you can give me some advice during today's competition."
The soldier glanced at him disdainfully and did not return the gift to Zhou Tian. Instead, he turned around and bowed to the city lord as if he didn't know.
"Mr. Zhou, this is the heavy soldier guarding the city in Xiyun Palace. He is at the second level of Qi Zun. Please invite me!"
Zhou Tian didn't think anything when he heard about this realm, and walked into the barrier with dignity, but he was still a little cautious. Luan Feng was not around, so he could only use boxing. If he couldn't defeat him for a while, I'm afraid the longer it takes, the more likely he would be.
The worse it is for you.
"Master Zhou, right? Please."
The soldier took off his outer cloth armor and twisted his neck, as if he was going to have a big fight. His disdain could still be seen in his eyes.
"please."
Zhou Tian took a deep breath, his eyes instantly became much colder, his face was expressionless, and he stared straight ahead.
Seeing that he was motionless, the soldiers were a little impatient and eager to end it quickly, so they chose to take the initiative.
"Hey, this kid is a little too anxious."
Another soldier shook his head and whispered, and at this time Xia Shuning also ran over from behind the city lord, his eyes flickering and looking ahead.
"City Lord, has it started?"
When Zhou Tian saw the soldier charging ahead, he nimbly dodged, then moved sideways to get behind the soldier, found the right moment, and punched the soldier on the back of the neck with all his strength.
Zhou Liting once taught him that if the opponent is stronger than himself, he should not confront him head-on. Instead, he should find the vital points of the human body and hit the target at the right time.
Sure enough, due to carelessness, the soldier was hit hard on the ground by this punch.
He couldn't breathe for a moment. He pinched his neck with his hands and lay on the ground gasping for air.
At this time, Zhou Tian thought he had won, and his joyful expression was clearly visible, but when he looked around, there was no reaction. When he looked at Lao Xu, he actually started dancing.
Suddenly Zhou Tian's heart sank, remembering what the city lord said just now, only by breaking out of the barrier can he be considered a winner.
Looking further down, the soldier was about to recover, so he hurriedly punched the soldier on the butt again, and this punch knocked the soldier several meters away from the barrier.
Xu Qingnian nodded in acquiescence.
Liu Bai, who was standing aside, was so angry that his teeth were itching. Xiyun Palace had been in Xiyun Palace for decades, and he had never suffered such a great humiliation. Moreover, he was still beaten so useless by a young boy who was not in the realm of Qi Zun.
.
He couldn't help but step forward, wanting to vent his anger, but was stopped by the other guardians around him.
"Liu Bai, it's not our turn to deal with this kid yet. Hundreds of holy knights are here, so we don't need to do anything."
Zhou Tian looked at the people outside in the barrier. None of them looked good. He couldn't help but secretly smile in his heart: Are you the master of Xiyun Palace?
"City Lord, since Mr. Zhou has defeated my brother, there is no need for me to go up again. I think we should rush outside the city as soon as possible to guard it."
Seeing such a scene, another soldier did not want to ask for trouble, so he knelt on one knee in front of the city lord and asked to take his injured brother out of the city.
"Go ahead."
The city lord waved his hand, his eyes sharp and disappointed.
After the two soldiers left, what remained were a hundred holy knights and three guardians.
Seeing this, Xu Qingnian took a step forward and bowed and said: "City Lord, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
The city lord glanced out of the corner of his eye and responded with a half-smile: "Of course, whatever you want to say, just say it."
Lao Xu looked at the hundreds of holy knights around him and raised his eyebrows.
"Two soldiers just reminded me that since it is a competition, these hundred holy knights..."
Just as Xu Qingnian was about to continue speaking, Liu Bai seemed to hear something else, and his impulsive personality made him step forward again, which made the other three guardians very worried.
"Old Bai, what are you going to do? The city lord is here, so what's our business..."
"I know what you are going to say. I, Xiyun Palace, have never bullied the few with more. When I mentioned a hundred holy knights, I just wanted these holy knights to see the fun. There has been no competition in Xiyun Palace for a long time, and it was also for them to see.
Just look at your own shortcomings.”
Halfway through Xu Qingnian's words, the city lord understood it clearly and couldn't say anything more, so he looked at Zhou Tian silently.
"City Lord!"
A paladin took the initiative to ask for help when the city lord finished speaking.
"The Holy Knight is the personal bodyguard of the city lord. I'm not very talented, but I have reached the seventh level of Qi. I want to give it a try."
Then, we entered the boundary.
After Zhou Tian heard about this person's realm, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and his eyes twitched, as if he was full of confidence in the upcoming competition.
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Zhou."
After the two sides were polite, they started fighting, but what was surprising was that Zhou Tian easily defeated him this time. He used the Tiger-Shaped Dragon Intent Fist so well that all the Paladins were amazed for a while.
At this time, the city lord seemed unable to sit still. The promised competition was expected to be very exciting, but Zhou Tian's ability far exceeded her imagination, which even made the impulsive Liu Bai fall into deep thought.
Xu Qingnian nodded continuously, but his face gradually darkened.
With only one person standing opposite him, he said to himself: "When did the young master's boxing skills become so powerful? Could it be that he received guidance from some expert?"
Zhou Tian won two games with one punch, which made Xia Shuning, who was behind the city lord, also admire him. At first, he just knew that this young man was different, but he didn't expect that he was really a genius.
"City Lord, since both the soldiers and the holy knights have representatives, I will represent the guardian to play with this kid. Isn't he very good at fighting?"
The one who spoke was Qingmu, one of the protectors, who was in the third realm of Qi King and was good at using weapons. At the same time, he also exchanged Luan Feng for Zhou Tian.
Aoki is tall but slender. Although his appearance is not as good as Zhou Tian's, he is still considered a leader in Xiyun Palace. His Heaven Sealing Blade is a peerless sword.
But when he just entered the barrier, Xu Qingnian suddenly shouted loudly: "Dragon Protector Qingmu, everyone knows that you are at the level of Qi King, on par with me."
"Compared with my young master, there is one in the sky and one on the earth. If my young master is lucky enough to win, I wonder if Protector Aoki can agree to my request."
Xu Qingnian's sudden opening caught Qingmu off guard, but in his heart Zhou Tian was still just a child and would not give him a chance to win, so he laughed heartily and said: "Xu Qingnian, the four of us guardians have also competed with you before.
I know that your young master will not be far behind, so since you have spoken, I promise you."
He agreed to other people's requests in advance before fighting, which was really a bit hasty and made Liu Bai a little worried.
"This Aoki is usually the simplest in mind, and he easily agrees to other people's requests."
"Haha, Brother Aoki is still as straightforward as before, so I can speak frankly. They all say that the Sealing Heaven Blade in your hand is a good sword. If you lose, how about giving this sword to my young master?"
Xu Qingnian's words shocked Qingmu, the protectors outside the barrier, and even the city lord. This Heaven Sealing Blade was Qingmu's treasure, and he wouldn't let outsiders touch it, let alone give it to others.
Aoki hesitated for a long time and never answered.
"Aoki, you just promised me, don't go back on your word. If you don't want to hand over the Sealing Blade, just don't fight. There's nothing difficult about it."
At this time, the city lord smiled and said: "This Xu Qingnian really has a good plan. He wants to use this matter to make Qingmu stop. In this way, he represents the protector of the law. As long as he doesn't fight, then Zhou Tian will not fight."
And to win, to achieve three goals with one stone, it’s a good plan!”
The other guardians also saw Xu Qingnian's intention, only Qingmu was still confused.
"This Aoki is really not good even if he is beaten, and he is not good if he is not beaten. What should I do?"
"If you are afraid of a young boy who is not at the level of Qi Zun, you can just beat him."
The other two guardians muttered to each other.
"Okay! If that's the case, let's give it a try. If this kid really defeats me, I don't deserve this sword, so there's no harm in giving it to him."
After saying that, he entered the barrier and took up his posture.
Xu Qingnian was startled: It's broken, so Qingmu will work even harder to protect the sword from falling into the hands of the young master...
Suddenly nervous, Xu Qingnian's hands were sweating, and his nervousness and apprehension made him restless.
Zhou Tian actually understood what Lao Xu meant, but he still had to face it after all, and he did not dare to slack off and looked at the protector in front of him.
After all, he is at the Qi King level, and this is his first time contacting him, but fortunately he has Luan Feng in hand, so he has some confidence.
After the two bowed politely to each other, their swords were at war, and the war was about to break out.
But at this moment, Zhou Tian suddenly felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and he fainted. When he woke up again, he found that he was in a dream fantasy again.
"Boy, you want to die!"
Every time he comes to the dreamland, he lies on the ground. This posture makes Zhou Tian very unhappy.
"Why do you want to die?"
Zhou Tian watched Mr. Su in front of him change his clothes again, looking at it with some disgust.
"That Aoki is at the level of the Qi King. You don't have the blessing of the Qi Sea now. If you want to defeat the Qi King in one fell swoop, what are you thinking about?"
Mr. Su looked at Zhou Tian with disdain and made a mocking voice, which made Zhou Tian more and more angry.
"Mr. Su, if you have a way, tell me. If not, don't delay my business..."
