Chapter 490 Swordsmanship (1)

When the drums sounded, the rumbling sound shook the sky and the clouds were about to drift away.

With the rapid sound of heavy drums like raindrops, several people slowly stepped onto the stage holding sacrificial objects in their hands.

These people are all highly respected people elected by the people in the capital.

Not appointed by officials, nor appointed by the court, but purely elected by the people, the people who appear on stage are basically different every year.

Looking at the three old men, carrying sacrificial objects, they walked slowly onto the stage, and all of them put their right hands on their chests and prayed sincerely.

Whether you understand the rules or not, whether you understand the meaning of performing sacrifices on stage or not, when you see everyone doing this, you will naturally follow along.

Among the crowd, Emperor Qin and Shang, dressed in plain clothes and martial robes, looked at the scene with a smile, and said, "Folk sacrifices are different from royal sacrifices. Why did you invite these three people to take the stage? Is there any point?"

Lu Chengxiang next to him bowed and said: "These three people are all popular people in the city. They either educated countless people but did not receive a penny. Or they stood up and fought against evil alone in times of crisis. In short, They are all virtuous and noble gentlemen, their cultivation may not be very high, but their xinxing state must be extraordinary. Folks believe that only such people worship the heaven and the earth, and they respect the heaven and the earth."

Emperor Qin Shang nodded and said with a smile: "This approach is very good. That is Donghua swordsman Lu Fan, right? He is a good-looking talent."

Emperor Qin and Shang looked at Lu Fan on the carriage.

After carefully looking up and down, Emperor Qin Shang nodded in satisfaction and said: "Strong and iron, mighty and unyielding, he is a good warrior."

Prime Minister Lu said softly beside him: "Why does Your Majesty just take a look at him and conclude that he is a good warrior?"

Emperor Qin Shang said with a smile: "Some people, just one glance is enough. And some people, they can't understand it for a lifetime!"

Prime Minister Lu listened to Emperor Qin and Shang's words, nodded slightly, and secretly said: "Exactly! Your Majesty's words are extremely true."

After a stick of incense time, the stage finally came to an end.

After the sacrificial objects are placed, wine is sprinkled to offer sacrifices to the heaven and the earth.

At this time, the three of them did not come down from the high platform as before.

The old man in the center walked out slowly, and said in a loud voice: "Today, there are not only sacrifices, but also a stage battle. Please invite Zhang Guang, the leader of the Eight Heroes of the Prince's Mansion, and Donghua swordsman Lu Fan, to come on stage!"

The crowd applauded loudly, they had been waiting for this battle for a long time.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to Zhang Guang: "Go ahead. It's easier to win."

Zhang Guang jumped down from mid-air and landed directly on the high platform, and the audience immediately cheered and cheered.

The name of Zhang Guang resounded through the sky.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Qin and Shang laughed and said, "Such a scene is really hard to see in the court!"

Prime Minister Lu said with a smile: "There are strict rules and regulations in the court, so naturally we won't see such lively scenes."

Slowly, Lu Fan also walked towards the high platform. He did not choose to fly up directly arrogantly, but walked up calmly step by step.

As he walked, he adjusted his state.

He walked slowly but steadily. Zhang Guang stood on the high platform, looked at him with indifference, and waited quietly for Lu Fan to come onto the stage.

Among the crowd, Tian Qingyang and the others stood up one by one.

And behind Tian Qingyang, there is Wu Kongling wearing a veil.

Her gaze fell firmly on Lu Fan's body, she couldn't tell whether it was excitement or happiness, and the light burst out.

Tian Qingyang turned his head from time to time, looking at Wu Kongling.

But Wukongling didn't look at him at all, but just looked at Lu Fan's back.

On the other side, among the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd, several aristocrats were chatting while eating melon seeds.

Among them, Han Xiong, Han Yuanning and others were impressively listed.

"Han Yuanning, is the woman behind Tian Qingyang the one you fell in love with? You can't even see her appearance. But I can feel that she is indeed a beautiful woman. Your vision is good! I just don't know, he slept with Qingyang that day It's been a few nights."

A man with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes laughed and said.

Han Yuanning said with a frosty face: "Liu Zhen, please pay attention to what you say. How can you slander a lady like Miss Wu?"

Liu Zhen raised his hands and said: "I was just joking. Why are you so serious? What's wrong? The Han family can't even make a joke anymore. Crazy Han, look at you like a firecracker!" Yes, whoever says one more word will blow you up. Could it be Shi Chen?"

Another man who looked rather dull beside him smiled lightly and said, "I don't understand this, you guys talk. I came here to see how strong Zhang Guang is now. Unexpectedly, two people from the Tantai family and the Shui family also came .Counting us, members of the top ten families, there must be six here.”

Liu Zhendao: "Seven. The two above the head don't count."

Shi Chen snorted and said: "That's right. Those two are also counted. These two people really have a lot of face, so many people came to see them compete."

Han Yuanning looked up and said, "This kind of one-sided death fight is nothing to watch. Just watch it. I'm going back first!"

With that said, Han Yuanning walked out.

But Liu Zhen grabbed him and said: "Crazy Han, don't go. Do you feel uncomfortable seeing your sweetheart with Tian Qingyang? Listen to my brother, forget about that woman. Based on my years of experience watching women, that woman is no longer a virgin. What do you care about!"

Han Yuanning immediately grabbed Liu Zhen's neckline and shouted, "What did you say? Say it again?"

Liu Zhen sprayed Han Yuanning's face with a mouthful of melon seeds.

"You crazy man, let go. Tell you the truth, you still don't believe it."

Shi Chen quickly pulled the two of them apart, looked at Han Yuanning and said, "Crazy Han, let me advise you. For this kind of thing, you should listen to Liu Zhen. He changes more women than you change underpants. The entire capital , probably no one knows this better than him, if he says he is not a virgin, then he is definitely not."

Han Yuanning said coldly: "But I have never touched her."

Liu Zhendao: "It wasn't you who touched it, it was someone else. Otherwise, why didn't she follow you? It's because you were too slow to start. It's useless if you catch me. If you have the ability, go to Tian Qingyang desperately."

Han Yuanning let go of his hand, and looked at Tian Qingyang with fiery eyes, as if he wanted to tear Tian Qingyang into pieces with his eyes.

Liu Zhen tidied up his clothes, then patted Han Yuanning on the shoulder and said, "Listen to my brother, if you want to kill him, now is not a good time, don't be impulsive."

"So when is a good time?"

Han Yuanning gritted his teeth.

Liu Zhen smiled and said: "During the selection process, life and death are irrelevant, have you forgotten?"

Han Yuanning nodded heavily.

Tian Qingyang seemed to sense something, and looked around.

Frowning, Tian Qingyang said softly: "Why do I feel a murderous intent towards me?"

Turning his head, Tian Qingyang looked at Wu Kongling who was concentrating. Suddenly, a trace of evil thoughts rose in his heart, and he slowly stretched out his hand. He wanted to touch Wu Kongling's hand while Wu Kongling was not paying attention.

But before he touched Wu Kongling's hand, Wu Kongling suddenly looked away.

Frowning, Wu Kongling looked at Tian Qingyang's outstretched hand and said, "Young Master Tian, ​​what are you doing? Do you want to belittle me secretly? I never thought that Young Master Tian would be such a person."

Tian Qingyang withdrew his hand in embarrassment and said: "You misunderstood, Miss Wu. How could I treat you lightly. Without Miss Wu's consent, I won't even touch a single hair of yours."

Wu Kongling said with a smile: "That's good. I like an upright gentleman like Mr. Tian the most. He doesn't understand anything, so please don't bully me."

Tian Qingyang said again and again: "No, no, absolutely not."

Turning his head, Tian Qingyang sighed softly: "What a pure and pure woman! Seeing her frightened appearance, I'm afraid she hasn't even touched a man's hand."

Wukongling looked up at Lu Fan again, her lips moved slightly, but she was yearning for Lu Fan on the high platform to transmit the voice.

Lu Fan, who was walking up, suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ear.

"Lu Fan, if you win, I will come to accompany you!"

Lu Fan's heart moved, he turned his head and swept down, and saw Wu Kongling's figure at a glance.

With a slight smile, Lu Fan immediately quickened his pace and walked onto the high platform!

The ground was paved with blue stones, and the wind howled, making Lu Fan's clothes flapping.

On the high platform, Zhang Guang stood with his sword in his arms, looked at Lu Fan and said coldly, "If I were you, I wouldn't be here today."

Lu Fan calmly pulled out his Wufeng epee, inserted it slowly by his side, and said with a light smile, "Why?"

Zhang Guang said: "You come here knowing that you will die, you are just an idiot."

Lu Fan smiled lightly: "Are you so sure?"

Zhang Guang said: "Are you sure? Just try it and you will know. Lu Fan, today you have left no bones to sue the spirits of my colleagues!"

Suddenly, the long sword in Zhang Guang's hand was unsheathed, and the strength from his body burst out.

Countless runes lit up from his body, and the scales all over his body were covered with dazzling light,

The momentum is monstrous and powerful.

Looking up to the sky, there was a roar of a dragon, and the shadow of a dragon appeared behind him.

Lu Fan also unleashed his stellar energy in an instant, covered his body with scale dragon armor, and opened the domain of Wufeng epee.

Immediately, the Wufeng epee began to tremble violently.

The aura of the two climbed to the peak in an instant, and Zhang Guang relied on the runes he had accumulated on his body for many years.

As Lu Fan walked up slowly, he accumulated his aura step by step until it suddenly exploded at this moment.

"kill!"

The two shot at the same time, and there was a loud thunder on the ground.

boom!

The figure disappeared in an instant, and when it reappeared, it was already in the middle of the high platform, with a long sword and an epee colliding together.

The energy of countless explosions spread!
