Chapter 226 The Competition Truly Begins!
"The head of the Yan family, given by Senior Yan!"
Faced with Fu Guang's inquiry, Chen Ping did not hide the slightest.
At first, Fu Guang's face was full of disbelief, but he also knew that Chen Ping had no need to lie. As long as he got off the stage and found Yan Yun to verify, the truth would be clear.
Besides, Chen Ping could hold the Red Flame Sword on the stage without any trouble, which was enough to explain everything.
"Why did Senior Yan give you the Red Flame Sword?" Fu Guang asked.
"Are you here to compete, or are you here to ask a hundred thousand questions?" Chen Ping asked back.
"This..." Fu Guang was slightly stunned.
"Xiao Hei, get ready for a sneak attack!" Chen Ping's mind moved, and Xiao Hei's figure flashed and flew behind Fu Guang.
Although facing such a strong man, Xiao Hei's attack effect was very limited.
But as long as the opponent could reveal a flaw, Chen Ping could gain an advantage with the power of the Red Flame Sword. As for the final victory or defeat, it could only be left to fate.
"I give up!"
Just when everything was ready, Fu Guang's body lightened and he jumped off the arena.
The shouts from the audience disappeared instantly, and everyone, including Chen Ping, was in a state of confusion.
"What's going on?" Chen Ping frowned slightly.
"Maybe he was impressed by the master's domineering spirit!" Xiao Hei approached Chen Ping.
A moment later, the referee who reacted first jumped onto the arena and announced that Chen Ping won and entered the quarterfinals.
After stepping off the stage, Fu Guang passed by Chen Ping, paused, and a small token flew out of his fingertips.
"If you have the opportunity to come to the imperial capital, remember to find me!"
After that, Fu Guang left in a chic manner.
"It's inexplicable!" Chen Ping looked at Fu Guang's back, and then looked at the token in his hand.
"It's pure gold, it can be worth a lot of money!" Xiao Hei also saw the token in Chen Ping's hand, the symbol of the Imperial Guard. With this token, he can even enter and exit the imperial capital freely.
After leaving the arena, Fu Guang did not leave Yanchi Island directly, but went to Zuixiaju and found a guest room to stay.
After a morning, the top eight had already been decided.
The only dark horse was Chen Ping, who was called Chen Yijian.
Even most of the spectators knew the information of the others, but Chen Ping seemed to appear out of thin air. Except for knowing that he came from Lionheart City and used a white long sword and a red flame sword, there was no other information.
Chen Ping also learned the information of the other seven contestants in great detail through the proprietress of the tavern, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with each of them.
"Is the direction wrong? Impossible, the tips of the scarlet bracelet have never been wrong!"
At night, Chen Ping sat alone in the room, looking at the information he had collected, and fell into deep thought again.
At this time, Xiaobai and others actually found the demons in the depths of the Cloud Valley.
With a physique as strong as a mountain and a metallic blue-gray skin, it was the demon berserker they met in Lionheart City. This was the original 70th demon god, the legion led by Xier, whose strength was above level 5, and some legion leaders reached level 6.
However, after the Warhammer War, Xier "fell" after entering the Star Continent, and the Berserker Legion also fled to various parts of the continent and hid, waiting for Xier to come again.
Due to the loss of the breath support of the demon world, the strength of the demon berserkers began to decline, and a small number of them had dropped to about level 4.
The demon berserkers that Chen Ping and others met in Lionheart City were level 4.
The demon berserkers discovered by Xiaobai and others reached level 5, but fortunately there were only three of them.
Even so, Xiaobai and others paid a huge price to escape unscathed.
Su Sisi was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Xiaobai was exhausted and extremely weak. Alia, the only one who was not injured, could not provide any protection. As for Xuena, for the safety of everyone, she led the three demon berserkers away alone and her whereabouts are unknown.
"Brother Chen..."
Alia carried Su Sisi on her back and supported Xiaobai, and found a cave to hide temporarily.
The fog in the Cloud Valley was so thick that even the scarlet bracelet was strongly disturbed and it was completely impossible to get in touch with the outside world.
Before, relying on the telepathy of Su Sisi and Chen Ping, she could report the situation in time.
Now Su Sisi fell into a coma, and Alia fell into a state of isolation and helplessness. The extreme fear gradually spread in Alia's heart.
Before this, only the fire in the Dawn Forest made her feel so helpless, but the Dawn Forest was still there, and her home was still there.
Now, Chen Ping is her only sustenance and her current home.
But there are always times when "home" cannot provide shelter and cannot block the wind and rain.
Alia looked at the unconscious Su Sisi and the weak Xiaobai.
If she was still the elf princess of the Dawn Forest, she might be curled up in the cave and crying helplessly.
However, after following Chen Ping for so long and seeing Chen Ping experience life and death countless times, she suddenly felt infinite courage in her heart.
"I want to become stronger, I want to be a burden, elemental power... magic... star power..."
In the early morning, the sun disc player scattered the starlight all over the sky.
Chen Ping tried to contact Su Sisi many times, but did not get any response, and he was a little worried.
"Sissi has integrated some of the star power. Even if she encounters the demons and cannot fight them, she has the ability to protect herself!" Xiao Hei comforted.
"Then why can't I contact you this morning?"
"There seems to be some interference in that place!"
"Well, but with Xiaobai here, we can still keep in touch with Sissi!" Chen Ping frowned slightly.
The Valley of the Clouds is two days away from here. Although Chen Ping brought the heavenly spaceship, he was still not able to control it skillfully. Using mechanical wings to travel at full strength would take more than half a day and consume a lot of money.
Today is the finals of the Sword Master Conference. After careful consideration, Chen Ping decided to participate in the competition first.
If Su Qianqian's life is really in danger, even if there is interference, Chen Ping will definitely feel it. After all, there is a contract between them as a bridge.
The semi-finals and finals in the morning went surprisingly smoothly, perhaps because the Red Flame Sword in their hands was too powerful.
"It's so scary. What's the origin of this guy? From the competition till now, all the battles have only been done with one sword!"
"Yes! I just don't know if Captain Fuguang can defeat this Chen Yijian if he uses all his strength!"
"Of course it is possible. Captain Fuguang is the strongest swordsman in the Xinghan Empire. The head of the Yan family can only tie with him. Although Chen Yijian is powerful, he is far from being comparable to Captain Fuguang!"
"I don't think so. So far, no one has been able to force him to use the second sword. No one knows his specific strength. Besides, he is also blessed by the Red Flame Sword!"
"The only thing he can rely on is the Red Flame Sword. If he is prohibited from using the Red Flame Sword, I don't think he can even enter the top sixteen!"
"Fart, the Red Flame Sword is indeed powerful, but it also needs a stronger person to control it. Ordinary people can't even pick up the Red Flame Sword. Do you think the lightsaber is invincible because it is awesome?"
After Chen Ping became the champion of the tenth session, everyone was talking a lot. He stood on the competition stage and looked around, but he still didn't find any demonic aura.
"How can he hide it so perfectly? Still...he is not among these people!"
After several rounds of competition, Chen Ping still got nothing. The remaining possibility is that the guy participated in the previous competition and won the championship. He just waited for the end of this last game to win the double sword.
But when he came, he accidentally exposed his aura and was discovered by Yan Yun and others.
The real competition of the Sword Master Conference has just begun.
The original rules were to compete with each other, eliminate them, and select the final sword master.
However, after discussions between the heads of the Yan family and the Chi family, the competition system was temporarily modified.
Since Chen Ping owns the Red Flame Sword, Chen Ping will challenge the previous champions. If he wins nine consecutive victories, he will directly become the Sword Master. If he fails, the winner will continue to challenge until the last person completes the challenge. The winner will be For the sword master.
This kind of wheel-and-wheel competition is the most disadvantageous to Chen Ping.
But this time he came not to win the championship, but to find clues to the demon clan.
Everyone challenges once, which allows him to discover more details in the battle with his opponents in order to find the demons.
Chen Ping only rested for ten minutes before starting a new game.
With this kind of competition system, even those below who are not optimistic about Chen Ping are calling Chen Ping unfair.
"What's going on? The head of the Yan family gave him the Red Flame Sword. This is obviously partiality, and it's even an internal decision, but the rules of this competition seem to be aimed at Chen Yijian!"
"Yeah! I really can't understand. Just after playing the finals, I was given a ten-minute break. It's so unfair!"
"I think it's okay. Anyway, in the last game, he only used one sword!"
"What's wrong with Yi Jian? That's not an ordinary Yi Jian. It needs..."
"The game is over, Chen Jingnan wins!"
Everyone in the audience was still whispering to each other. The competition on the stage ended instantly, and Chen Ping still only used one sword.
"Holy crap, that's the ninth champion, and... also a sword?"
"Is the champion of the ninth season letting off steam?"
"If he was letting loose, that person's acting looks too similar!"
The game was over. The ninth champion froze on the spot, his whole body trembling, and his feet were already wet.
That kind of destructive momentum came towards him, and the strong sense of death made him feel extremely scared. He had never felt death so close. If Chen Ping hadn't stopped, he would have become a corpse. The corpse!
"Tomorrow, Chen Ping, the champion of the 10th Sword Master Tournament, will face Xia He, the champion of the 8th edition!"
The referee said without any hesitation and walked off the stage.
"There should be something good to watch this time!"
"Yes, Xia He is the strongest of the younger generation of the Xia family. He can compete with the younger generations of the Chi family and the Yan family. It will not be so easy for Chen Yijian to win against Miss Xia!"
