Chapter 231 Imitation, Red Flame Sword!
The sun was shining brightly, and the Yan family's arena was crowded with people.
The competition of the Sword Master Conference had entered a white-hot stage. Chen Ping challenged all the previous champions alone. From being unpopular at the beginning to becoming a hot contender for the Sword Master, he attracted countless people's attention.
Outside the arena, several odds were even opened, and Chen Ping's winning rate kept soaring.
"I bet on Chen Jingnan in this game!" Xia He of the Xia family spent a lot of money and directly bet on Chen Ping.
Yan Xiao, who came in a hurry, squeezed into the crowd with difficulty: "I also bet on Chen Jingnan!"
Although Yan Xiao's chips were far less than Xia He's, it was all his belongings.
"Mr. Yan? I heard that you had some grudges with this Chen Jingnan, but I didn't expect..."
"I have always been clear about my grudges, and my personal grudges will never rise to the level of money. Moreover, this kid killed eight of my men and eight horses. Even if he is going to lose, he must lose to my eldest sister Yan Ling!"
"Is your sister out of confinement?"
"Yes, she said she would come to watch the game today!" Yan Xiao nodded.
On the arena, a man, with a long sword on his back, looked at Chen Ping fiercely.
Although the Chi family was a little lonely, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Chi Tian's eldest son Chi Yang participated in six consecutive Sword Master Conferences and finally won the championship in the sixth one.
As the only son of the Chi family, Chi Yang has almost poured all the resources of the Chi family into him.
"Chen Jingnan, swords have no eyes. If you admit defeat now, you may still be able to save your life!" Chi Yang looked at Chen Ping.
However, Chen Ping did not reply. He was too lazy to care. If the competition had not started yet, Chen Ping would have solved it long ago.
A standard villain like Chi Yang would normally not survive for more than a minute.
But the Chi family guarded the seal of gods and demons, and Chen Ping did not intend to really hurt the other party.
"Sword Master Conference, the fourth competition officially begins!"
"Dang!"
As the gong sounded, Chi Yang's long sword was unsheathed.
"Boom!"
The extremely powerful star power instantly swept the entire arena.
"Red Star Sword!"
"The old man of the Chi family actually gave the Red Star Sword to Chi Yang. This Chen Jingnan is in danger!"
"What are you afraid of? Doesn't Chen Jingnan still have the Red Flame Sword?"
"There have been so many competitions, and you haven't figured it out yet? The Red Flame Sword in Chen Jingnan's hand is a replica. Although it has 70% to 80% of the power of the Red Flame Sword, it is still a replica!"
"Replica? Impossible!"
"I heard that there is indeed a replica of the Red Flame Sword. It was made by craftsmen from the dwarf tribe ten years ago. He also separated the star power from the real Red Flame Sword and poured it into this replica. It is almost the same as the real one, but it is a little less powerful!"
The biggest responsibility of the two families is to guard the sealed land, and Yan Chi divided his star sword into two parts in order to help the Chi and Yan families guard the seal.
However, this seal can only last for a dozen years before it will be corroded by the demonic energy. At this time, the demon god is also the weakest. As long as the two swords are re-fused, they will be able to completely kill the demon god.
Therefore, whether it is the real Red Flame Sword or the real Red Star Sword, they should be stored in the sealed places of each family at this time. After the Sword Master Conference is over, the real "Sword Master" will combine the two swords into one, and then completely destroy the demon god's limbs in the three sealed places.
On the stands, Yan Yun, who was in the first seat, suddenly changed his face and stood up: "This... this red ghost actually took out the Red Star Sword! He is really crazy!"
On the competition stage, Chi Yang was already waving the Red Star Sword and slashing at Chen Ping.
"Ding!"
A very crisp metal collision sound rang out, and then, like a real sword energy, it swept around with the competition stage as the center.
Yan Yun quickly flew up and used all his strength to resist the sword energy.
After all, although there were many irrelevant spectators present today, there were more children from major families who came to watch. They were the future of Yanchi Island. If they were affected by the sword energy, even if they did not die, they would be seriously injured, and they would probably never have the chance to practice swordsmanship again in the future.
"Puff!"
Before the two people on the stage decided who would win, Yan Yun, who came to block the sword energy, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
Not only did he have to protect everyone, but he also had to control the strength so as not to affect the battle. In addition, he had fought against the demons everywhere and had countless old injuries on his body. Being hit by the sword energy containing the powerful power of the stars, Yan Yun's old injuries recurred instantly.
Seeing that the raging sword energy could not be stopped, Yan Yun was shocked. Just as he was about to stop the fight between Chen Ping and Chi Yang, a barrier appeared out of thin air, like an inverted giant bowl, directly covering the entire arena.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sword energy hit this invisible barrier, making a slight sound, and then completely dissipated.
To be on the safe side, two more barriers appeared in succession, completely isolating the arena and protecting all the spectators present.
Yan Yun was in doubt and turned to look in the crowd. Suddenly, he saw a blonde woman gently waving a manual staff.
"That is..."
There were not many mages on Yanchi Island. Even the foreign mages mostly went to the Cloud Valley and rarely came to watch the Sword Master Conference.
Yan Yun frowned slightly and felt that they looked familiar. When he saw the people around the woman, he remembered that they should be Chen Ping's friends.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a young mage with such strong strength!"
Yan Yun coughed a few times, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, and returned to the viewing platform.
On the arena, the two continued to compete.
Under the powerful pressure of the Red Star Sword, the Red Flame Sword in Chen Ping's hand began to tremble slightly, and he could even feel the fear and cry of the Red Flame Sword.
After all, the Red Star Sword is a genuine product. This kind of suppression of the origin makes Chen Ping unable to exert his true strength!
"It's over, Chen Jingnan, you must not lose! All my belongings are all on you!" Xia He looked at the situation on the stage, and cold sweat appeared on her nervous hands.
"Chen Jingnan, if you lose, you will not only have to compensate me for eight people and eight horses, but also the eight gold bars I have saved for eight years!" Yan Xiao also clenched his fists.
"Sister Xue Na, Brother Dong will not lose, right?" Su Xixi stared at the arena worriedly. She only knew that Chen Ping's swordsmanship was very strong. She had never seen Chen Ping use a sword before. Although the swords and knives were similar, there was still a big difference in essence, and Chen Ping's opponent's long sword obviously had an overwhelming advantage.
"I will definitely not lose, Brother Chen will never lose!" Xue Na said firmly.
"Sweet!"
Su Xixi turned her head and saw Xiaobai with a mouth full of bright red.
"Uh... are you eating to death?"
"This melon is so sweet!" Xiaobai handed Su Xixi a piece of melon with red juice.
"Yeah, it's really sweet! This fruit is really delicious!"
Soon, Su Xixi no longer cared about the battle in the arena, and began to concentrate on eating melon with Xiaobai.
"Clang!"
After swaying Chiyang's attack again, Chen Ping's body exploded and retreated. At the same time, he flipped his hand, and a small tripod suddenly appeared in his palm. He gently threw it into the air, and the small tripod was suspended in the air. The star power, which was far more surging than the Red Star Sword, surged and surrounded the Red Flame Sword in Chen Ping's hand.
"Dragon Wing Slash!"
Chen Ping's sword came out like a dragon, and the sound of the sword tearing the air was like the roar of thousands of dragons.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
The sword was not pointing at Chi Yang, but two steps away. The dragon-shaped sword energy directly broke through the triple barrier set by Alia and penetrated the high wall of the arena. The aftermath stretched for dozens of miles.
Many people were injured by the aftermath of the sword energy, but fortunately it was not serious.
"Clang!"
Chi Yang was stunned and stared at the half-broken Red Star Sword in his hand, his face full of disbelief.
Not only him, but all the spectators present, even Yan Yun, were completely shocked. At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped and even breathing could not be heard.
The Red Flame Sword and the Red Star Sword were Yan Chi's weapons, the legendary star fragments, and the beliefs of everyone. Only with its existence could they resist the invasion of demons, and only with its existence could there be hope for peace.
But now, this long sword was broken abruptly in front of their eyes.
"Puff!"
Chen Ping waved the long sword in his hand, flew out, and stabbed into the ground in front of Chi Yang.
Immediately afterwards, the star power in the Broken Red Star Sword seemed to be pulled by the extremely strong suction force and gradually separated from the Red Star Sword. Those star powers still wanted to struggle and were unwilling to leave the Red Star Sword, but the suction force was very strong and overbearing, and did not give these star powers any chance to resist.
The high-imitation Red Flame Sword greedily absorbed the star power from the Red Star Sword. For more than ten minutes, the star power on the Red Flame Sword was far superior to the previous Red Star Sword, and the Broken Red Star Sword at this time was like a piece of broken copper and iron, lying quietly on the ground.
"This...what's going on!" Yan Yun couldn't understand.
"My swordsmanship is not proficient enough, and I can't control the strength!" Chen Ping said a bland word, put away the Red Flame Sword, and walked down the arena.
"My...my Red Star Sword!" Chi Yang looked at the broken sword, his eyes turned red, but he didn't have the courage to fight with Chen Ping again.
Chi Yang knew the significance of the Red Star Sword to the Chi Family. Now, he had to return to the Chi Family as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with his father.
After stepping down from the stage, Chen Ping went straight to Yan Yun.
"Old Senior Yan, this kind of competition is too slow. I want to start the subsequent competitions immediately and investigate the people who colluded with the demons as soon as possible!"
"After a series of battles, I'm afraid your physical strength..."
"No problem, my physical strength has always been very good!" Chen Ping said confidently.
"In that case, let's continue!" Yan Yun nodded.
Today, except for those who have been defeated or admitted defeat, all the previous champions have arrived at the scene.
Chen Ping rested for half an hour, repaired the venue, and started the next competition.
He originally wanted to change a red quality long sword to compete with the subsequent people, but for the sake of safety, he continued to use the Red Flame Sword.
Under the divine power of the "new" Red Flame Sword, there was no general who could stand up to him. Chen Ping fought three games in a row and defeated the fifth, fourth, and third champions.
Near the evening, the eighth competition also began.
Chen Ping's opponent is Yan Ling, the eldest daughter of the Yan family who has not been seen on Yanchi Island for a long time.
