Qingyun walked up to the stage, saluted Master Xuhan and said, "Master, I am not greedy for the sword. I just want to use it to verify my cultivation. Please allow me to give it a try."
Taoist priest Xuhan glanced at Taoist priest Chiyang, nodded slowly and said, "There's nothing wrong with giving it a try. Remember, chivalry comes first."
Qingyun said respectfully: "Master, don't worry, I understand."
Mu Yun looked around and saw that all the top three players in the Qingqing Martial Arts Conference were already in action. The number one winner, Long Zhengyang, the 2nd place winner, Qingyun, and the third best player, Pang Zijian. If he could defeat them and win the first place, he would definitely impress the people in the martial arts world.
While Mu Yun was secretly calculating, another woman in green clothes walked out of the crowd. This woman was unusually tall, especially curvy, with fine black hair, very fair skin, eyebrows like spring mountains, and eyes like autumn water, although she could not be called stunning.
, but it has its own elegant and extraordinary temperament.
The woman in green clothes walked steadily, stepped forward, folded her skirt and said in courtesy: "I have met Young Master Fang and his wife, and all the seniors of the Justice League. The little girl Duan Fangqiong is participating in this competition on behalf of the Qingcheng faction."
Fang Lanling smiled slightly and said: "It turns out that he is Zuo Xianniang's disciple. I wish Miss Duan a smooth trip."
The Qingcheng Sect in the middle of Sichuan was massacred by the Jingyu Demon Sect, and only Zuo Shaorong, the "White-headed Immortal Fairy", was left to support it, and its population has been sparse for many years.
It was not until Chang'an hero Murong Zhuo came to his aid that the Qingcheng sect was able to revive. Now it has more than 300 disciples, and it is not far behind from its heyday.
Zuo Shaorong was grateful to Murong Zhuo, so he joined Chaotian Que and became one of the "Eight Pillars".
The Qingcheng sect has been established for more than a thousand years, and its foundation is indeed extraordinary. The unique light skill "Tianluo Footwork" is even more unique. Although it has been passed down to this day, the essence has been scattered, but it is still enough to stand out among the others.
Duan Fangqiong can represent Qingcheng in the formation, so she must be Zuo Shaorong's favorite disciple, and she has also mastered the "Tianluo Footwork". Judging from her calm expression, she seems to have a confident attitude, and she is just waiting to become famous in today's battle.
Fang Lanling waited for a moment and saw that no one was coming out of the battle, then he coughed and said: "Okay, then the candidates to participate in the competition have been decided, and they are the six young heroes in front of you."
"Before the competition officially begins, Fang will make three arrangements with everyone to avoid unnecessary changes."
"First, this competition is about Qinggong, not martial arts, so private fights are strictly prohibited."
"If you fight a competitor, you will not only be disqualified from the competition, but also no longer allowed to participate in the sea market event. Our department will expel them immediately, no matter what the sect, there will be no exceptions."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and their faces showed more or less solemn expressions.
Fang Lanling knew that the shock was enough, and then said loudly: "Second, you must climb to the top of Qiyun Tower to be qualified to win the competition, otherwise even if you bring the Yunlong Sword back, no matter what the reason, it will be in vain.
"
This can be regarded as an end to opportunistic thoughts. After all, under the eyes of the public, no one can do anything false. The so-called "a battle of wits and not a battle of strength" will no longer be mentioned.
Fang Lanling did not hesitate, and then said: "Third, you are not allowed to turn back on the way to the tower, otherwise you will be deemed to have given up on your own, so please stop before it is too late."
Qingyun frowned slightly and couldn't help but said: "If you accidentally fall on the way, but stop the fall in time, can you continue to climb the tower?"
Fang Lanling said solemnly: "No, falling is also turning back. Continuing to climb the tower will be deemed invalid."
Qingyun said nothing, thinking that he was really strict.
Taoist Master Xu Han looked on with cold eyes and could not help but shake his head secretly, knowing that his beloved disciple was timid before fighting, and this time he would probably return in vain.
After Fang Lanling said the three rules, he said to Mu Yun and others: "Do you still have any questions? You can ask questions before the competition begins."
Everyone looked at each other, and no one asked any questions. Fang Lanling saw this and said in a solemn voice: "Okay, then Fang announced that the competition has officially begun, and everyone can leave."
This was what everyone was waiting for. In an instant, they saw rabbits rising and falcons falling, and six figures immediately set off and flew towards the top of Zhantian Peak.
Qingyun took the lead, followed closely by Duan Fangqiong. Both of them went all out and soon distanced themselves from the other four.
Xing Zhiying uses the "flying dragon treading snow" movement technique, which is "as graceful as a startled giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon". Dressed in white clothes and fluttering with the wind, she can be said to be as airy as an immortal, which is really beautiful.
Pang Zijian was slightly behind Xing Zhiying. His face was white and slightly blue, and he clenched his teeth as he ran. He had obviously shown his full cultivation. Although he wanted to keep pace with the beauty in front of him, he was unable to do so.
Mu Yun and Long Zhengyang were last. They both used the "Yun Xiang Teng Ba Huang" movement technique, but they unanimously chose to slow down and keep their auras flowing smoothly as usual.
Because the two of them knew very well that the real test was yet to come, so instead of competing for the immediate advantage, it was better to consider the long term.
From Qionghuatai to Zhantian Peak, the mountain becomes steeper and steeper, and the road becomes increasingly winding and difficult to navigate.
In order not to waste time, Qingyun often jumped up through the mountain road. His "ladder to cloud" movement technique was quite accomplished, and he could climb high and fall low as if walking on flat ground.
Seeing this, Duan Fangqiong was not willing to show weakness. She also took advantage of the mountain to jump continuously, using the "Tianluo Footwork" to the extreme.
The two of them always kept a few feet of distance between them, and they would inevitably step on rocks and leave marks along the way, causing a cloud of dust to fly.
It only took less than half an hour for Qingyun and Duan Fangqiong to climb to the top of Zhantian Peak. At first glance, they saw the towering Qiyun Tower. The dark body of the tower was cold and solemn, which was simply intimidating.
The bottom of Qiyun Tower is shaped like a hexagon. As it extends upward, the tower body gradually shrinks until it finally converges at the top of the tower.
Qingyun suppressed the churning energy and blood, nodded to Duan Fangqiong and said: "Miss Duan is good at light kung fu."
Duan Fangqiong breathed rapidly, turned to Qingyunxu and said, "Taoist brother Qingyun is so complimentary."
The two of them understood each other tacitly, said hello and started again, each choosing one of the six corners and climbing to the top of Qiyun Tower.
The terrain at the bottom is wide, and the steel frame and iron beams are easy to climb. But after about ten feet, the span increases sharply when you go up. You have to use the leaping technique to grab the nearest beam.
Qingyun and Duan Fangqiong played steadily and focused on every leap. They still seemed to be evenly matched.
After a while, Xing Zhiying and Pang Zijian arrived one after another. Seeing that Qingyun and Duan Fangqiong had climbed more than ten feet, they did not dare to neglect, and then climbed to the top of the tower.
Pang Zijian missed Xing Zhiying, and he did not forget to say hello during the climb: "Sister Xing, please be careful, don't look down under any circumstances."
Xing Zhiying said knowingly, her bright eyes fixed on the top of the tower, and her delicate body flew up, chasing Qingyun and Duan Fangqiong.
Although Pang Zijian is not known for his light kung fu, he practices hard on weekdays and his internal kung fu is far superior to that of his peers. At this time, while climbing up, he took the opportunity to adjust his breath to avoid losing his stamina.
After a while, Mu Yun and Long Zhengyang came in tandem.
Long Zhengyang raised his head and glanced, with a thoughtful expression on his face, while Mu Yun also had concerns in his heart.
Without saying anything, the two of them each chose a corner and quickly climbed up.
