Chapter 270 Ma Yuehua is playing dirty tricks, such crazy Aji!
Boom boom boom!
The billowing wolf smoke energy surrounding Diao Ye's body is constantly erupting and releasing!
Blooming with brilliant silver light.
It rushes in all directions, making people afraid to look directly at it.
Compared with Diao Ye's previous strength, his strength has increased five times!
This made countless people around look stupid.
"Pingnan Ling?! Master Diao actually took out the Pingnan Ling?"
"It is rumored that the luck of the nine cities of Pingnan has been injected into the Pingnan Order. It is the most precious treasure that can conquer Pingnan. It is controlled by Pingnan Zhenwu Mansion. I didn't expect to see it today!"
"Master Diao has the blessing of Ping Nanling. Even if Xiao Beichen is a master of the fourth chakra level, he has no chance of winning. Everything is over!"
"Xiao Beichen is still too young after all. If he wants to compete with the veteran Diao Ye... he is ignorant and arrogant!"
"..."
Hua Yunfeng and several people in the crowd couldn't help but sweat for Xiao Beichen when they saw this scene.
Hua Yuqing clenched her fists and her pupils dilated: "Is this Ping Nan Ling?! An existence comparable to the War Department's token."
Hua Yunfeng nodded heavily: "Hua Xiong of my War Department also has a token of luck in his hand. It was a special gift from the Pingjiang Governor's Mansion. It is similar to the Pingnan Order. However, this token of my War Department does not It’s restricted, but it’s a little easier to use than this Pingnan Ling.”
"This should be Diaoye's trump card. Next, the outcome of both sides will be determined immediately."
On the side, Gong Tianyu, Gong Luoxi and Gong Xiuyue became extremely nervous.
Showing your trump card will determine the outcome.
On the main stage, Ma Yuehua and Chen Ziming communicated with smiles on their faces.
Ma Yuehua said: "Chen Yuanlao, let Xiao Beichen confront Diao Ye in advance. It is to hurt both sides. No matter who wins or loses, both sides will be severely damaged. This not only eliminates the hatred in my heart, but also solves your enemy Diao Ye. "
Chen Ziming said with a smile: "An enemy? Maybe in the past, Master Diao was qualified to be my enemy. But now, he is just an ant in my eyes. He is no longer qualified to be my enemy."
Ma Yuehua smiled and said: "When the Gusu martial arts debate comes to an end, it is the moment when Chen Yuanlao starts his real plan. Everything is going according to our plan."
A satisfied smile appeared on Chen Ziming's face: "The confrontation between the north and the south of Pingjiang Martial Arts is about to end. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Lord Diao... Haha, you are just a dog in my eyes. Even if he He can defeat Xiao Beichen in this round, but in the next round, he will be Xiao Beichen in this round, haha."
Ma Yuehua's face also became ferocious: "Now that Master Diao has taken out the Pingnan Order, the battle is almost over. Xiao Beichen, you must die first!"
"Xiao Beichen, if you dare to attack my son, I will arrange for Diao Ye, who holds Pingnan Ling, to attack you. This is the benefit of power. You, an ignorant ant, want to play with me? Ridiculous!"
She looked at Xiao Beichen on the stage with wide eyes, full of teasing.
She was sure——Xiao Beichen was definitely gone.
Diao Ye on the stage also had the same thoughts as Ma Yuehua, mixed with Ping Nanling's peerless power, burst out a peerless torrent, and rushed towards Xiao Beichen.
"Xiao Beichen, no matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than the Pingnan Ling in my hand? Hahaha! That's it for now! Die!"
Facing this unparalleled attack, Xiao Beichen's eyes were as cold as a piece of ice, without any emotion: "Ignorance."
Raising his hand, he stretched out his right index finger and pointed it at Diao Ye's chest.
A finger away.
"break!"
The moment he finished speaking, a golden stream of light suddenly burst out from his fingertips.
Running like a dragon, invincible.
In an instant, he shattered all the overwhelming energy and continued to surge forward.
Seeing that the five times the previous offensive was instantly crushed, Diao Ye took a breath of air: "How is it possible? With the Pingnan Order, I can explode five times the power of the previous one. Even if I enter the fourth channel for the first time. A master of wheel can also fight. How could he crush it with just one finger?!"
"Maybe I was too careless just now. It doesn't matter. Wait until I block your attack this time. Then just fight back. With the Pingnan Ling in my hand, I will definitely be the final winner."
Diao Ye saw the golden sword energy rushing toward him, and immediately picked up the black Pingnan Ling and blocked it in front of him.
"No matter how strong the sword energy is, it can't shake my Pingnan Ling."
For this token, he did not hesitate to leave Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion and give up his position in the Senate of Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion. He went south and opened a military mansion in Pingnan Town, which opened up the confrontation between the north and the south.
This token, which brings together the luck of Pingnan's nine cities, is his biggest trump card.
He never believed that Xiao Beichen's sword energy could shake this token.
However, when the sword energy struck Ping Nan Ling, he realized how terrifying this golden sword light was.
boom!
The sword energy carried an unparalleled edge, crushing the peerless power of Pingnan Ling.
In an instant, Pingnan Ling was shattered.
Even Diao Ye's chest was shot through.
"How is that possible? This is the Pingnan Order that gathers the fortunes of the nine cities of Pingnan. Even a strong man with four chakras cannot break it!"
Diao Ye was unable to resist the sword energy and was pushed back, finally being nailed to a pillar next to the main stage.
Motionless, blood gushed out.
Diao Ye's mentality exploded and he yelled crazily: "Impossible! This is impossible! I will not lose!!!"
He said arrogant words, but his body was very honest... He peed, cried, and was still trembling...
"You ant, you don't know what I, Xiao Beichen, can do. If you don't admit defeat? Then die!" Xiao Beichen didn't waste any time. He raised his right index finger again, and the golden sword light gathered, and it seemed that another sword light was about to erupt.
Master Diao finally felt afraid.
The breath of death comes closer.
throw in the towel?or die?
In the end, he chose the former and shouted: "Don't, don't do this! Xiao Beichen, I give up! I lose!!!"
quiet!
The whole place was silent!
People stared wide-eyed, as if they didn't believe this was true.
"Diao Ye, the top boss of the Pingnan Zhenwu Mansion, was actually crushed by Xiao Beichen while holding the Pingnan Order?"
"Xiao Beichen's strength must be so terrifying."
"This boy is so strong!"
"..."
Among the crowd, Hua Yunfeng, Miyata Yu, and Gong Xiuyue clenched their fists excitedly and shouted excitedly.
Bull ratio!
Ma Yuehua and Chen Ziming, who were in the chief positions, were very surprised.
I originally thought that the appearance of Adong and Aji, two monsters with a vague tendency to lose control, in this Gusu martial arts competition would be very scary. Unexpectedly, a third evildoer appeared now... Xiao Beichen.
Both great referees realized that this martial arts debate in Suzhou was not going to be easy.
"Ma Yuehua, haven't you announced the results yet?" Seeing that Ma Yuehua was silent, Xiao Beichen asked unceremoniously.
Ma Yuehua finally came to his senses and announced the result through gritted teeth: "Xiao Beichen wins and enters the top [-]."
Whoa!
The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause.
And Xiao Beichen slowly walked off the stage amidst the cheers of the crowd.
Soon, the second round was over. After resting for half an hour, continue with the next round.
Luo Nanxiao, Hua Xiong, Yu Guang, A Dong, and Aji all entered the top thirty-two.
The unlucky Diao Ye was brushed off. Not even entering the top [-], it is inevitable to be criticized and criticized.
Xiao Beichen's strong promotion immediately caused a storm of public opinion and became the focus of people's discussion.
"I'll go. This time at the Gusu Martial Arts Competition, young geniuses appear one after another, and it's getting better and better."
"Yes, Aji and Adong were considered to be the favorites to win the championship before. Later, Xiao Beichen appeared, who is also a monster. These three young people are all the favorites to win the championship. Long Xiao may not be able to suppress him. them."
"Don't forget, there is also Luo Nanxiao. This is King Pingnan, the card of the veteran master. With him around, young people may not have the chance to rise to the top."
"There is more than just one King of Pingnan. There are also Hua Xiong and Yu Guang. These are all veteran masters. The next competition will most likely be a showdown between the younger generation and the veteran masters. Will the veteran masters continue to dominate Pingnan, or the younger ones? What if someone makes a comeback against the wind and takes his place? It’s really exciting.”
"..."
During the break, all the experts looked very nervous.
They know very well that the upcoming schedule is getting more and more difficult, and the experts they face are getting stronger and stronger.
Thirty-two into sixteen.
The final victory is getting closer and closer.
Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan returned to the villa to rest briefly, then hurried back to Zhenwu Square to prepare for the next round of competition.
As soon as he entered the venue, a man came over and blocked Xiao Beichen's way.
It's A Dong.
When he met Xiao Beichen, he reached out his hand: "Hello, Xiao Beichen!"
Although he has a cold demeanor, his words are polite and not pretentious.
That indifference seems to be natural.
Xiao Beichen had a good impression of him. He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello. Are you okay?"
Adong got straight to the point: "Why did you come to participate in the Gusu martial arts competition?"
Xiao Beichen said: "Of course it's to win the first prize."
Adong looked Xiao Beichen up and down: "Is it just to win the championship? Isn't it to control the order and power of the entire Pingnan Martial Arts after winning the championship?"
Xiao Beichen said: "Of course there are."
He asked directly, and Xiao Beichen answered directly.
A Dong opened his mouth and smiled sinisterly: "You can't win the championship. Let's take a step back. Even if you really win the championship, you still can't be in charge of the Pingnan martial arts order. Your expectations are too high."
Xiao Beichen was stunned: "Oh?"
A Dong continued to show a very scary smile: "The purpose of my coming is relatively simple, and my expectations are not that high. I only need to prevent one person from winning the championship."
Xiao Beichen asked curiously: "Aji?"
A Dong gave a thumbs up: "Smart. I don't care if anyone wins the championship, but not Aji. Do you know why?"
Xiao Beichen started to like this guy a little bit: "I know."
A Dong said: "That's okay. If you meet me on stage, just admit defeat. I don't want you to lose too ugly. Besides, you can't stop Aji."
Xiao Beichen was very confused: "Why do you think I can't stop Aji?"
A Dong said: "You don't understand Aji, and you don't know how scary he is. Even I am not sure that I can defeat Aji. You... stop being so showy."
"That's it."
He waved his hand and left domineeringly.
Xiao Beichen stared at the back, feeling a little curious.
Mu Ziyan on the side couldn't help but said: "Beichen, this A Dong seems to know Aji's identity."
Xiao Beichen nodded: "Not only does he know Aji's identity, he might have had a grudge with Aji. He made it very clear that he came to participate in the Gusu martial arts competition just to prevent Aji from winning the championship. "
"This guy is quite interesting."
Mu Ziyan was convinced: "Tell me, what is A Dong's identity?"
Xiao Beichen shook his head: "How would I know..."
At just the right time, a clear and melodious bell rang.
The third round of the finals has begun.
Thirty-two people came on stage to draw lots.
This time Xiao Beichen's opponent turned out to be a stranger.
The strength is very average.
This actually surprised Xiao Beichen.
its not right.
Didn’t Ma Yuehua want to draw lots to do something for himself?
And arrange a weak person for yourself?
It makes no sense.
When the other party saw Xiao Beichen, he immediately admitted defeat.
Xiao Beichen advanced to the top sixteen.
Luo Nanxiao, Hua Xiong, Yu Guang, Aji and Adong also advanced to the top [-].
After everything was over, the time had come to eight o'clock in the evening.
Declare the end of the day's schedule. Continue tomorrow.
The list of the top [-] is also posted on the big curtain wall of Zhenwu Square. It attracted countless people to watch.
Back at the villa, Xiao Beichen, Miyata Yuhua Yunfeng and others had a dinner together, and drank tea and chatted after the meal.
Gong Xiuyue said directly: "Mr. Xiao, the schedule of the last round this afternoon is abnormal. Ma Yuehua didn't compete against you, but let the natural draw. This is unscientific."
Xiao Beichen lit a cigarette for himself and slowly smoked it: "It is indeed abnormal. Miyata Yu, do you know the reason?"
Miyata Yudao: "I have a guess. After Ma Yuehua and Chen Ziming saw you defeat Diao Ye who has Pingnan Ling, he had a new understanding of your strength. I know that the probability of ordinary people defeating you is no longer high. Even Hua Xiong and From the corner of my eye, there is no chance of winning. Only Luo Nanxiao, Aji and Adong can defeat you. At least that's what they judged."
Gong Xiuyue said: "In this case, wouldn't it be over if we arrange these three to be Mr. Xiao's opponents? This is Ma Yuehua's basic skill."
Miyata Yu shook his head: "Maybe Ma Yuehua discovered something else and changed his plan temporarily. In short, Ma Yuehua's arrangement was definitely not kind. We will know everything tomorrow."
Everyone had similar thoughts and felt heavy. I was speechless for a long time.
"Okay, the answer will be revealed tomorrow. Everyone, please go back. I have to take a rest." Xiao Beichen dismissed everyone and returned to the room to sit cross-legged and practice.
No matter what Ma Yuehua arranged, Xiao Beichen didn't take it to heart.
A truly strong person never needs to worry about other people's tricks.
Buzz!
Four chakras appear under the body.
The first three chakras have been filled to capacity, blooming with six pulses.
The fourth chakra is the five rays.
One step away from the sixth pulse light.
Xiao Beichen concentrated his mind and tried to feel the secret of the sixth pulse while running the Great Kun Peng Jue.
This was a technical job, and Xiao Beichen failed one after another, so he had to be patient, adjust his mentality, and proceed step by step.
"Cultivation requires time and accumulation. Although sometimes you need the fearless spirit to take risks. But the so-called fearlessness must be used at the right time. If you use the wrong opportunity, you will destroy yourself."
Xiao Beichen saw it very clearly.
The so-called changing one's destiny against nature naturally requires a desperate spirit.
If you work hard, your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle. It's a change of destiny.
It is not good to work hard, that is... seeking death!
Success or failure is often a matter of thought.
Xiao Beichen clearly felt that the current accumulation was still a little short of full strength. If he tried his best, he might be able to forcefully break through the sixth pulse light, but it would definitely do more harm than good, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
It still needs to accumulate.
Close your eyes and completely immerse yourself in the world of Kunpeng Jue...
And in another room.
Mu Ziyan is also doing the same thing as Xiao Beichen.
Sit cross-legged and practice.
She is different from others.
Xiao Beichen's qi refining requires some qi refining techniques, as well as a lot of experience and rules.
But Mu Ziyan relied entirely on intuition.
Intuition imprinted in the subconscious mind. No rules are required.
hum!
The three chakras under the feet have been completed.
Red chakra!
Suddenly, there was a violent vibration.
The fourth chakra appeared.
The four red chakras flowed under the feet, shining brightly, and the aura was particularly powerful.
With the four chakras, no matter how many people spend a lifetime, they may not be able to enter this realm. But for Mu Ziyan, this didn't seem to be too difficult.
If Xiao Beichen saw this scene, he would be so frightened that he would be speechless.
too frightening.
The four red chakras!
"I have seen a lot of things with Xiao Beichen during this period, which has given me a deeper understanding of my own chakra. Moreover, every time something like that happens with Xiao Beichen, I feel a ray of power in my body Released. It’s really strange, how could this happen?”
The more Mu Ziyan thought about it, the more confused she became.
Wasn't there two seals blessed by the temple within his body?
Seal the flesh and blood, seal the fate.
Faced with such an indestructible seal, it stands to reason that it would be difficult to shake it.
Why is it that every time after having sex with Xiao Beichen, a ray of power is released?
Rather than saying that Mu Ziyan is practicing, it is better to say that she is just mastering the released power.
"And the more often, the greater the power released in my body. If it continues for ten days and a half... I feel that it is not too difficult to break through the fifth chakra..."
As she thought about it, Mu Ziyan herself felt a little scared.
Afraid of myself.
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Being in love with Xiao Beichen is the greatest happiness in the world.
And she can enjoy this happiness while spontaneously releasing her power...
It's outrageous!
This will make Mu Ziyan fall in love with Xiao Beichen.
it's not good...
Thinking of this, Mu Ziyan blushed.
At two o'clock in the evening, the practice ended. Mu Ziyan took a bath, put on the sexiest nightgown and went to see Xiao Beichen.
Xiao Beichen also finished his practice at this moment and was sweating profusely.
After seeing Mu Ziyan, Xiao Beichen's eyes went straight.
This woman who is already stunningly beautiful, dressed like this at the moment... is too sexy.
A pink silk suspender belt, translucent. There is also a matching nightgown draped outside.
The tight skirt wraps a perfect figure.
Tall and graceful.
A pair of long legs that are almost symmetrical and slender to the point of perfection.
Because I just took a shower, my hair is still a little damp. It adds a bit of grace and charm.
Excellent!
Mu Ziyan blushed and was extremely shy: "Beichen, it's time to rest."
Xiao Beichen finally came to his senses: "Well, I'm going to take a shower now."
Swish!
Just as he was about to stand up, Mu Ziyan sat directly on him, stretched out her slender arms and hugged Xiao Beichen's neck, tenderly: "No, I just like the way you sweat, you are going to kill me!"
Uh...
……
The next morning.
Xiao Beichen woke up early and suddenly realized something was wrong while brushing his teeth.
Ok?
what happened?
My body feels different.
It was as if something had broken through the confinement.
Soon, Xiao Beichen realized something. He quickly brushed his teeth and kicked off his feet.
hum!
The fourth chakra, the sixth chakra, has broken through.
The four major chakras are all perfect!
One step away from the fifth chakra.
Xiao Beichen showed a satisfied smile: "Sure enough, everyone looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looking back, he was in the dim light. He actually broke through this problem without knowing it."
After reaching the fourth chakra, it is very difficult to improve each chakra.
To be able to complete a breakthrough in such a short period of time is incredible.
"It seems that the accumulation during this period is still effective. Coupled with the stimulation of the black and white methods, my cultivation has been further improved."
At this time, Xiao Beichen had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. Just think of it as the result of hard work and fellow practitioners of the black and white method.
He did not realize that the fellow practitioners between him and Mu Ziyan were far from just fellow practitioners.
Relying solely on fellow practitioners may not have such an effect.
But Mu Ziyan has already realized this...
Just when Xiao Beichen was thinking wildly, Mu Ziyan came over: "Why are you dazed? The next day's schedule is about to begin. Today we will decide the two strongest people, and tomorrow will be the last game of the finals."
After breakfast, Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan held each other's hands and came to Zhenwu Square.
There are more people today than yesterday.
Although there were many people, there were only a few hundred people.
These are specially invited people.
They are all top bosses in Gusu, children of wealthy families. Others who have not been invited cannot enter the Zhenwu Mansion headquarters.
Probably because of the excitement, people were in high spirits and talking a lot.
when!
A distant and melodious bell rang.
The crowd fell silent immediately.
Ma Yuehua and Chen Ziming took the stage.
Ma Yuehua said: "Today's schedule is the same as yesterday, divided into three rounds. Sixteen will advance to eight, eight will advance to four, and four will advance to two. However, because there are many masters participating in this martial arts competition, including many top bosses. In order to avoid The masters met too early, resulting in an accident in the final. Our judging panel decided to divide the sixteen people into two groups. Each group has eight people. Eight will advance to four, four will advance to two, and two will advance to one. Select the strongest person in each group. In the end, the strongest of the two groups will advance to tomorrow’s martial arts finals.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment.
It’s different from what everyone thought before.
But after taking a closer look, I think this arrangement is okay.
The process is also reasonable.
But some people have realized something is wrong.
Ma Yuehua took out a list and began to chant: "Now let's start grouping. The members of the first group, Long Xiao,... there are eight people in total."
"The second list includes Luo Nanxiao, Hua Xiong, Yu Guang, Aji, Adong, Xiao Beichen... eight people."
After the grouping ended, the audience burst into applause.
Most people don't see any problem.
Hua Yunfeng couldn't help cursing: "That's it! Ma Yuehua played well. There seems to be no problem with the process. But he put all the strongest masters in the second group and let them fight. Long Xiao's One group, all weak. This can ensure that Long Xiao advances to the finals. How shameless!"
Miyata Yu couldn't help but cursed: "It's so shameless. The top players who became famous in Gusu are all in the second group. Let the strong ones kill each other and cause internal friction. But Long Xiao can easily advance to the finals, It’s so unfair.”
"We must stand up and speak out!"
Saying that, Miyata Yu was about to object.
Xiao Beichen stretched out his hand and said, "Miyata Yu, there is no need to waste words with this kind of person."
Miyata Amame was furious: "Mr. Xiao, isn't this openly cheating on the process? It's so unfair to you."
Xiao Beichen said calmly: "Ma Yuehua likes to play dirty, just let her play. However, she will understand in the end. All conspiracies are just decorations in the face of absolute power!"
Miyata Yu looked at Xiao Beichen blankly, finally nodded and said no more.
Soon, the first group's schedule began.
With an extremely strong attitude, Long Xiao overpowered the other seven players and won the first place in the first group.
On the curtain wall in front, Long Xiao's name appeared first on the red list.
Long Xiao stood in the center of the stage, enjoying the applause of everyone in the audience.
When Ma Yuehua announced the results, he became somewhat impassioned: "Congratulations to Long Xiao, who advanced to the finals as the first place in the first group. Tomorrow, he will compete with the first place in the second group for the championship of the finals. The winner will be the future leader of Pingnan Martial Arts. He will lead the entire martial arts order in the nine cities of Pingnan."
"Now, the second group of matches begins. Please invite the eight players from the second group to the stage."
The words fell instantly.
Eight people took the stage.
Luo Nanxiao, Hua Xiong, Yu Guang, Aji, Adong, Xiao Beichen. There are also two other ferocious masters. Although they were not well-known before, they are not easy to mess with at first glance.
Everyone looked solemn, waiting for the critical moment to arrive.
Ma Yuehua took out the black ball: "The eight of you will be divided into three rounds to compete for the first place in the group. Now let's start the lottery."
Just then, a cold voice sounded: "Master Ma Yuehua, wait a minute, I have something to say."
Swish swish!
Everyone turned their heads to look.
The person who spoke was a strong young man wearing a gray suit.
It's Aji!
Ma Yuehua looked indifferent: "Say."
Aji put his hands behind his back and slowly walked out of the crowd, meeting Ma Yuehua's gaze: "Since the purpose is to select the strongest among the eight people, why draw lots? What I, Aji, fear most is trouble. I am alone. Just go on stage and crush the other seven ants."
After saying that, Aji stepped onto the center stage and asked: "Is it okay?"
Ma Yuehua and Chen Ziming had an exchange, and then nodded: "Although it does not conform to the specific process, it is in line with the spirit of this Gusu martial arts debate. Martial arts practitioners should carry forward the spirit of fearlessness. Chen Yuanlao and I agreed!"
Aji put his hands behind his back, swept the seven masters on the field domineeringly, and said coldly: "Everyone, I will decide the first place in this group. Do you want to go one by one, or together? I can do either!"
This time, the audience is boiling!
"My dear, isn't this Aji too arrogant?"
"What a crazy Aji! How dare you challenge seven masters at the same time? Are you crazy?!"
"It's crazy, it's just crazy! Everyone in this group is a master, and they are very good at curling. I didn't expect Aji to roll even more. This is the king of curling!"
"I wonder who will be the first to challenge!"
At this moment, there was a cold shout from the audience.
"I come!"
