The minister raised His Majesty in a wrong way [Rebirth]

The competition was carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rituals. According to the rules of previous years, only eight people should be left to decide the leader in the last three rounds of the competition, but this time because of the special case of Lou Chen, if this rule continues, every round There will be a bye for one person, so in this round, one of the groups will form a group of three, and only one person will be selected.When the gongs and drums sounded at Shenshi, and the final pair decided the winner, the top eight were finally selected.

The bronzing dragon pattern big list next to the ring was immediately replaced with a new one, and the tall scroll scrolled downwards, and the names and clans of the eight people were listed on the top of the gold list in order.

Not surprisingly, Lou Chen was listed among them, and it happened to be at the top of the list.

The Ministry of Rituals has always been cautious in doing things, this ranking is definitely not a random ranking, although the meaning of this has not been expressed, it has been conveyed, so after the gold list was listed, there were whispers in the ring.

Because the emperor did not prevent the private discussion during Lou Chen's martial arts competition, so this time the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not reprimand and stop it, and only quickly arranged the next competition.

This round Lou Chen is still the first to play, but the strange thing is that as soon as he appeared, he glanced at the crowd, and the few people who were still whispering just now seemed to be strangled by the throat , shut his mouth instantly.

Lou Chen didn't care about those people's gossip either, he walked slowly towards the ring, while thinking about the upcoming contest, he glanced towards the high pavilion from the corner of his eye.

On the opposite side of the arena, on the high pavilion with the best view, is naturally the Emperor of Nanliang, and the place a little further away is reserved for a few princes.

After watching the competition for two hours in a row, the young princes were a little tired, and some couldn't stop laughing, with tears in their eyes, and couldn't hide their drowsiness. Nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, he had already dozed off.

In his previous life, Lou Chen was too nervous about majesty, he didn't even know how to put his hands down, let alone face the holy face, so he didn't know what happened on the high pavilion, but this time he was not afraid, and when he looked over again, he found this When Gao Yu was staring at the direction of the ring, his big dark eyes were shining with a scorching light, and he was full of energy and not tired at all.

How did he know that Gao Yu was excited because he could go out to play in the palace, he only thought that he was really interested in this martial arts competition and cared about the results of the competition.

"Boom!" With the sound of the gong, the third round of the contest officially began.

"Holding the sword" has always only selected the best few people, this time there are four princes present, it means that Lou Chen can stay as long as he wins another round and gets into the top four.

But winning this game is not easy.

Lou Chen watched intently, the opponent had indeed changed from the previous life, and this time standing in front of him was a healthy young man.

Lou Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he is not familiar with this person now, he will never forget him in the future, because the person who came was the one who defeated him in the previous life.

In his previous life, he was particularly naive. After watching the previous competition, he thought that the opponent was as good at swordsmanship as he was, so he deliberately studied the opponent's moves.But he didn't know that the opponent was deliberately hiding his clumsiness in the last round of competition, and they used weapons that they were not very good at. The melee combat just happened to hit the opponent, and he was finally knocked off the ring with a palm.

But this time, Lou Chen remembered clearly this time. The young man was called Lu Chongzhi, the youngest son of Chongyang County Sheriff. Only two of them have been taken, among sword and palm, he is especially good at palm, and one move, Paiyun Zhang, is second to none among his peers.

All the sharp weapons in the imperial competition were turned in, and only wooden swords could be used in the arena.

Lou Chen looked at the young man standing in front of him holding a wooden sword, and nodded slightly: "Please."

"Please enlighten me." Lu Chongzhi raised his hand and returned the salute of a Jianghu man.

He had also paid attention to Lou Chen's martial arts competition before, and was amazed at Lou Chen's agility and responsiveness. Although he deliberately hid his clumsiness from the beginning, he only caught him by surprise at a critical moment.But at this moment, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, holding the wooden sword in his hand tightly, he was thinking about how to win as soon as possible almost from the very beginning, even if he exposed his unique skills, it didn't matter, as long as he entered the top four, he would be considered as living up to the clan's expectations.

However, the moment he withdrew his courtesy and was about to raise his sword, Lou Chen changed his previous defensive position of dodging left and right, and launched an attack on his own initiative.

Lou Chen's attack was as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning, before Lu Chongzhi could see what was going on, the offensive had already hit him overwhelmingly.

Although the wooden sword hadn't struck yet, it had the vigor to break through the air. Lu Chongzhi couldn't react in time and had to back away again and again.The rain of swords was torrential, brushing past his ears and temples, and when he was about to retreat to the edge of the ring, he finally found a chance to draw his sword and block the final blow.

But who would have thought that as soon as he made a backhand attack, Lou Chen, who was attacking fiercely just now, had already taken two steps back, as if he had already foreseen his counterattack.

Because Lu Chongzhi was in a passive position, his counterattack was a bit clumsy and slow, and when the point of his sword was straight, Lou Chen had already distanced himself completely from him.

The sword fell to the ground, and Lu Chongzhi was momentarily confused. What's going on, the opponent seemed to be keeping a distance from him deliberately, could it be that he had already seen his idea of ​​using his unique move to end the competition as soon as possible?

impossible!

Lu Chongzhi couldn't believe it. No one knew that he was better at swordsmanship than swordsmanship except his clansmen. How could this young man who had never met know the real martial arts he was good at! ?

Gathering his mind, Lu Chongzhi glanced at the person in the lower corner of the ring and found that he didn't make any gestures. He chose to stick to the previous tactics, and quickly decided to find a way to fight hand-to-hand, and then used the cloud-dispelling palm to catch him off guard.

However, Lu Chongzhi made a miscalculation. Lou Chen attacked again and again, the attacks were fierce and fast, but every time he seemed to have planned his escape route, if he succeeded, he would not love to fight and just run away if he missed a single blow. Distance yourself.

Several swift and relentless attacks completely disrupted Lu Chongzhi's rhythm and plan, and his mind was completely confused. He retreated back and forth in a disorderly manner, and could only resist passively.

He also wanted to find a flaw in the rhythm of the opponent's attack, but he failed time and time again. The moves Lou Chen used seemed simple but each move was closely connected. He could attack, retreat or defend, and he couldn't find it at all When you see a flaw, you can only seek life in the cracks.

He was amazed at the opponent's superb swordsmanship and meticulous planning.

Is there really no other way?Lu Chongzhi had never been so flustered in his heart. While dodging Lou Chen's attack, he thought of a way. Finally, after seeing the raised fingers of a person under the stage, he gritted his teeth and went straight to Jianfeng. go up.

Wood saw Wuren but with a faint sword aura, Lu Chongzhi met him head-on regardless of the sharpness of the sword aura, and saw the wooden sword slashed across his arm, taking a piece of clothing with it, and it fluttered down on the ring.

His attack, which hurt the enemy a thousand times and self-injury eight hundred, made everyone present stunned, and there were exclamations everywhere. Even Lou Chen on the opposite side hesitated for a moment. The sword probably pierced not Lu Chongzhi's clothes but his entire arm.

Is this man crazy?

Lou Chen frowned. In terms of swordsmanship and moves, Lu Chongzhi was by no means his opponent who had experienced battles, but the opponent was obviously crazy now.

Under the reckless attack, Lou Chen could only retreat again and again. After withdrawing his sword, he changed from active attack to passive defense.However, Lou Chen, who couldn't use his internal energy flexibly, was no match for the opponent. Before, he could use offense as defense to defuse the opponent's attack. With this change, his counterattack moves immediately became cramped.

The sudden change in the situation made all the people who were optimistic about Lou Chen sweat for him, but the members of the Lu family all showed proud smiles. There was even one person in the crowd who took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on the ring. Shi Shi quietly walked to the corner of the ring, and then took out a piece of jewelry from his arms.

If someone glanced at it, they would think that it was just an ordinary piece of jade. Its quality was not excellent, but it was just right for a family member to wear on a daily basis.

However, if someone takes a closer look, they will find that this jade is different from others. The back of it is polished very smooth, and there is a faint layer of light shining under the sunset glow on the window lattice, which is really weird.

However, Lou Chen, who was concentrating on dealing with Lu Chongzhi's attack, was completely unaware of what happened in the audience. After being forced into a corner by Lu Chongzhi again, Lou Chen jumped up, flipping back and raising his head. Concentrated, he stood on the railing at the edge of the ring with one foot.

When Lu Chongzhi, who was standing not far from him, saw this, a cold smile suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, he did not attack at close quarters, but used his body as a bow and his palm as a string, turned the wooden sword into an "arrow" and "shot" towards Lou Chen. He didn't withdraw his palm, but he extended his palm again and again, attacking without stopping.

"Empty palm" is as its name suggests, emptying out the air and striking through the air.With extremely fierce palm strength, every blow brought Lou Chen's side pain from the strong wind. He had no doubt that if he was hit by a palm, even if he had internal strength to protect his body, he would definitely be seriously injured. counterattack ability.

What made him even more surprised was that through the attack with all his strength, he faintly noticed that the opponent had a bit of killing intent at this moment!

Thinking of this, Lou Chen jumped down. He didn't dare to slack off at all. While dodging the attack, he stabbed a sword at a strange angle to fight back.

However, at the moment when he turned over and fell to the ground before he could stand still, Lou Chen suddenly felt a blur in his eyes, numbness in his hands and feet, and he lost control.

At this time, Lu Chongzhi's next palm came in front of him with the force of splitting mountains and rocks.

The victory or defeat was in an instant, and Lou Chen had no time to think at the critical moment, so he had to instinctively use his internal force to resist.

The result of forcibly driving the internal force is self-injury, severe pain came from Dantian Qihai, but Lou Chen couldn't care less.His face was slightly pale, and his hands and feet were weak. After a loud roar, he finally raised his hand by forcefully raising his internal strength, holding the sword hilt with both hands, and concentrated all his strength on his arm—the momentum was irresistible, irresistible. The sword was like a broken bamboo, and it penetrated into the body of the visitor.

"puff……"

"Oh!"

Two muffled sounds, one big and one small, sounded at the same time.

The sound of piercing flesh was accompanied by Lu Chongzhi's muffled cry of pain. The Wufeng wooden sword pierced his body, and the sharp point pierced out from behind with flesh and blood, dripping down on the ring.Lu Chongzhi knelt down on his knees and tried his best to support him, but the last blow had already used all his skills. At this moment, his face was ashen, white and blue, and finally with a muffled sound, the exhausted Lu Chongzhi finally fell to his knees. I fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

On the other side, Lou Chen's condition is not much better. He is half of his body on the ring, and his upper body is hanging outside the ring. One shoulder is twisted into a strange shape, and the shoulder is even more impressively exposed. It looks really scary. people.

However, just when everyone thought that he was too injured and passed out, Lou Chen let out a low moan from his throat.Then, under the dumbfoundedness of the crowd, he actually put one hand on the ground, leaning on the only remaining uninjured hand for support, and stood up slowly and firmly.

There was silence up and down the arena, everyone held their breath, as if they were afraid that their heavy breathing would disturb Lou Chen—the only sound in the huge hall was the sound of Lou Chen getting up.

Lou Chen took two steps forward with difficulty, looked at Lu Chongzhi who had passed out completely, then turned his head to look at the high platform, his mouth opened wide in shock, his face was full of panic and he wanted to run down uncontrollably, but Gao Yu who stopped his steps because of his eyes, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then fell down with a "bang".

Until there was a dull and hoarse cry of pain accompanied by the cracking of the railings, everyone in the audience seemed to have come to their senses, and cried out aloud.

In a desperate battle, Lou Chen narrowly won!

The author has something to say: The author puts the pot lid on his head and says: It’s just an injury, so it shouldn’t be considered torture... right?

This injury must be suffered. In this case, the abuse is the body, and the pain is not all the heart attack?

Xiao Gong must be frightened, how cool!
