C67 First Battle
First battle of chapter 66.
Chen Beigui's eyes were filled with killing intent. He said angrily, "If we could work together, Burning Sword City wouldn't be like today."
Luo Xingkong smiled and replied, "Work together? We are working with you. What right do you have to work with us? As the City Lord, you have disgraced Burning Sword City. You still want to work with us? You want to completely destroy Burning Sword City, right? "
Chen Beigui glanced at Luo Xingkong, but didn't say anything. Both of his eyes had turned red. Luo Xingkong's words were slander. However, he could only bear with it. Three years in Inferno Hell had given Chen Beigui too much experience. He didn't reject these words. It was just that he had lost his dignity, and it was very difficult for him to find him again.
Behind the three of them were Gai Bingtian and Zheng Konglan. The two of them didn't go forward.
Gai Bingtian did not want to stand on the team. He maintained neutrality, and Zheng Konglan had no way to stand on the team. He was a burden to either side. That was why he knew he did not have the right to stand on the team.
Behind him were the cultivators of Burning Sword City. They were the defenders of today's arena, the defenders who wanted to win glory for Burning Sword City.
Chen Kongyin was at the back, and Gai Yin happened to be beside her. Chen Kongyin pointed to the front and smiled bitterly. "Did you see that Luo Xingkong and Wu Bieyun are forcing my dad?"
"Yes, you can hear them from so far away?" Gai Yin looked at Chen Kongyin with doubt.
Chen Kongyin shook her head. "No, you don't need to listen to what they said. Every time the three of them met, Luo Xingkong and Wu Bieyun would collude. They would constantly scold and scold my dad. Now my dad's face doesn't look good. He has been humiliated again."
Gai Yin looked at Chen Kongyin and couldn't help but sigh. How painful was this comprehension?
At this time, Cai Jingsong's voice sounded again from the other side. He shouted, "City Lord Chen, we should be able to start now."
Following this voice, Chen Beigui started the year's Five City Banquet.
The Five City Banquet was not a banquet held by the entire Manchu Han Dynasty. Instead, it was a grand event that was named after battles. In this world where cultivation was the mainstream, battles were the best banquet. That was why the Five City Banquet got its name.
Chen Beigui looked behind him and shouted, "Today... It is the beginning of this year's Five City Banquet, and our Burning Sword City is the host of this year's event. Yesterday and the year before yesterday, the Burning Sword City was not strong enough. If they did not obtain the desired result, then they would come again this year. Since he was the host of the arena, he should have the aura of an arena defender. Hot blooded men of the Burning Sword City, do you have confidence? "
Many cultivators of the Burning Sword City were excited when they heard the encouraging speech. They were in high spirits and were eager to give it a try.
No one knew who shouted it out loud. Burning Sword City has been silent for two years. As the host this year, he will definitely win the Five City Banquet this year.
Chen Beigui smiled bitterly. He knew that this was only a consolation. In fact, Burning Sword City was still very weak. No matter how many cultivators there were, they would not be able to defeat the cultivators of the other four cities.
However, since everyone was confident, Chen Beigui also showed a look of confidence. He nodded and asked, "Alright, then who is the first defender of today's arena? Please come to the Burning Sword Stage!"
The first defender was very important. He was the first cultivator to represent Burning Sword City. If he won, it would greatly encourage people. If he lost, it would cause psychological pressure to the defenders behind him. In this way, Burning Sword City's result this year would be very bad.
As Chen Beigui's voice faded, the crowd discussed for a while. Finally, someone stood out.
"City Lord,mo Hai of the South City is willing to fight and become the first defender of the Burning Sword City. City Lord,mo Hai of the South City is willing to fight and become the first defender of the Burning Sword City." A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out like a small mountain, confidently standing out.
Chen Beigui smiled and nodded, asking: "Good, not bad. Since you want to be the first to fight, do you know the rules of the competition?"
tall and sturdy man Mo Hai nodded his head and said, "I know. No matter how many divine abilities you cultivate in the competition, you are only allowed to use one divine ability. If you use more than one, you will lose."
"En, good, it's good that you know. I hope that you'll be able to make Burning Sword City a good start." Chen Beigui nodded his head.
Mo Hai walked up to the Burning Sword Stage. He was representing Burning Sword City. He looked at everyone in the stands and shouted, "The first challenger, come on stage. Let all of you see the strength of Burning Sword City."
The order of the draw was decided by the first challenger of the Thunder City. The city lord Tian Yongpeng looked at Mo Hai who was walking up the stage and revealed a disdainful smile. He turned around and looked at the three young men behind him and asked: "How is it?"
Among these three people, one of them was Bao Qingfeng who had helped Zheng Yimeng before. He was the second seed, so he didn't say anything but looked at the other young man.
This man's name was Liu Zhen, the third seed of Thunder City. He had unlocked six shackles and was familiar with one of the divine abilities. He stood out and said with a smile, "City Lord,i can do it. I will definitely defeat him within three moves."
Tian Yongpeng nodded and said with a smile. "Remember, conserve your strength. After defeating him, there will be a lot of trash coming to give you points. You must defeat all of them. Also, remember, you can only use one divine ability."
Liu Zhen nodded and said, "Alright, no problem!"
After that, Liu Zhen headed towards the Burning Sword Stage.
Chen Kongyin, who was in the stands, turned her head to look at Gai Yin and asked in a low voice, "Can you predict the result?"
Gai Yin looked at Chen Kongyin and asked, "Why do you want me to predict?"
"I am afraid that Burning Sword City will lose the first battle." Chen Kongyin replied.
Gai Yin smiled. "What if we lose in the first battle?"
"I..." Chen Kongyin did not know what to say. She seemed to be very conflicted. In the end, she shook her head helplessly.
At this time, Liu Zhen from the Thunder City had already walked up to the Burning Sword Stage and stood opposite of Mo Hai.
"Liu Zhen from the Thunder City has come to experience it."
"Mo Hai from the Burning Sword City welcomes you!"
The two of them didn't waste any time talking. Liu Zhen circulated the forbidden force in his body and supported his fist as he rushed towards Mo Hai.
Mo Hai was also a cultivator who had unlocked six shackles and cultivated a divine ability, which was also a divine ability of the fist. Now that he saw Liu Zhen taking the initiative to attack him, he seemed extremely confident and harrumphed coldly: "Kid, you're too impulsive. I'll deal with you in three moves at most."
Liu Zhen faced Mo Hai and exchanged blows with his fist, which was accompanied by the power of restriction. The two of them were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were entangled in a battle.
The people of Burning Sword City started cheering for Mo Hai and cheering for him.
On the other side, the contestants from the four cities seemed very calm as they quietly watched the competition on the stage.
After watching for a few breaths, Gai Yin saw the two of them making their moves. He said to Chen Kongyin: "Burning Sword City has lost."
"En, that's possible. The two of them were tangled together just now. How could they lose? You predicted it?" Chen Kongyin looked at Gai Yin doubtfully. After that, she stared at the Burning Sword Stage closely, not wanting to miss out on any exciting battle.
Gai Yin did not give a detailed answer to Chen Kongyin. After that, he silently counted, Five, four. Three. Two. One! Punch!
As soon as Gai Yin finished his words, Liu Zhen really did punch. This punch was just right, it was a surprise attack, and it directly hit Mo Hai's chest. Mo Hai was sent flying away, and he fell down from the Burning Sword Stage.
At this point, as the host, the Five City Banquet of the Burning Sword City had lost their first battle this year!
