Chapter 686
Tang Yin, who was sitting on the high platform, looked at Chen Xiu and Yang Mao. He didn't say anything, but just waved his hand with a smile to read the full text.
Chen Xiu and Yang Mao both stood up, got on their horses and fought to a point in the center of the school military field.
The two people's cultivation levels are roughly on par, and the spiritual martial arts skills they have learned also have their own strengths. They are inseparable when fighting, and they can't compete for a while.
Chen and Yang's Lingwu were both pretty good, and Tang Yin was also very interested in watching them.
When the two fought for more than 50 rounds, Chen Xiu took the lead in using his killing move. He pretended to be defeated and drove his horse away. Yang Mao had no doubt that he had it, so he chased after him.
Seeing that he was about to catch up to Chen Xiu's ponytail, the latter suddenly used a carbine, and the spirit spear stabbed backwards, the attack was as fast as stone fire and lightning.
Yang Mao did not expect that he was faking defeat, nor did he expect that he would be able to use his carbine. He was unprepared and caught off guard, unable to dodge, and was hit in the chest by Chen Xiu's back shot.
Fortunately, the two of them were just competing in martial arts, not a fight between the enemy and the enemy on the battlefield. Chen Xiu was merciful and kept the point. When the spiritual spear was about to hit Yang Mao, he withdrew the spiritual energy and turned the spiritual spear into an ordinary steel spear.
Even so, the force of his return shot still knocked Yang Mao off his horse.
Wow - there was a burst of cheers from the surrounding Feng Army soldiers watching the battle. The contestants are all their own people, and the soldiers of the Feng Army have no inclination in terms of stance. Anyway, they cheer for whoever wins.
After Yang Mao fell off his horse, he stood up after a while and looked at Chen Xiu, who was riding on his horse and raising his gun in the direction of the surroundings. He took off his spiritual armor and said with a red face, "I lost." After speaking, , he was like a defeated rooster, dragging his long knife, walking back to the horse, holding the reins and walking down the battlefield lonely.
The loser retires sadly, while the winner naturally enjoys the glory, cheers and applause.
The competition between Chen Xiu and Yang Mao ended with Chen Xiu's victory, and then the second group of competitions took place, Lei Zhen versus Zhang Tong.
Like Chen and Yang, Lei Zhen and Zhang Tong also went to the high platform before the competition, dismounted from their horses and saluted Tang Yin.
Lei Zhen's cultivation level was not recorded on the list, so Tang Yin couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
His stature is not tall, but he is extremely stocky and sturdy. He uses an Open Sky Battle Halberd. This halberd is pitch black and is made of meteorite iron. It is thick and long and must be at least over a hundred years old. It was so heavy that ordinary people couldn't lift it. It took two people to work together to lift it, but Lei Zhen was carrying it with one hand, and the heavy halberd was as light as nothing in his palm. Based on this alone, Tang Yin dared to assert that this person was born with supernatural powers.
He sat on the chair and leaned forward slightly. While waving for the two of them to get up, he also asked curiously: "Lei Zhen, what level has your cultivation reached?"
Lei Zhen did not answer, but instead raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Cai Gui."
Tang Yin was stunned by his incomprehensible words. After a moment of pause, he suddenly remembered who Cai Gui was. Cai Gui was the head of Gaoyang County and was promoted by Shangguan Yuanji. Strange, how did Cai Gui offend Lei Zhen?
Tang Yin smiled calmly and asked: "Lei Zhen, why do you want to impeach Mr. Cai?"
Lei Zhen frowned and said: "Back to the king, I have no interest in surrendering to the army, nor do I want to fight in the battle. This time the king issued a military order, and I did not sign up to participate. However, Cai Gui secretly signed up for the villain in order to save face. This is a crime of deceiving the king, I hope your Majesty will investigate it clearly!"
oh? There is such a thing...
The smile on Tang Yin's face froze. At this moment, Qiu Zhen on the side hurriedly bent down and whispered in Tang Yin's ear: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case, and I also know it, but Mr. Cai has already fought with me beforehand. He said hello, perhaps Mr. Cai did use Lei Zhen to gain face for Gaoyang County, but it is true that Lei Zhen is also a master of Lingwu. It would be a pity if such a talent is buried among the people and cannot be used by the country. Therefore, Although I knew this, I didn't stop him and still let Mr. Cai rape him. "
"Well?" After hearing this, Tang Yin made dissatisfied questions and reprimanded in a low voice: "Qiu Zhen, why are you so confused? No matter how powerful Lei Zhen's spiritual martial arts is, since he is unwilling to surrender to the army, we cannot force him, otherwise Once the propaganda is spread, who among our people will dare to practice spiritual martial arts in the future?”
"This... what the king said makes sense." Qiu Zhen naturally understood what he was talking about. However, for the Feng Kingdom, which was constantly at war, there was a shortage of Lingwu talents. It was not easy to dig out a master in Gaoyang County. He was a fighter. I don't want to put it back in my heart.
Tang Yin sighed secretly, rolled his eyes at Qiu Zhen, then stood up, walked to the edge of the high platform, looked at Lei Zhen below, and said sternly: "Lei Zhen, I know about this, and it's also the case that Mr. Cai forced you to come to Yancheng. What I mean, as the saying goes, is to sell the emperor's family after learning martial arts. Now that the emperor is in trouble and the princes are in chaos, I, Dafeng, have protected the emperor from the rebellious ministers by myself, but I have also plunged the country into trouble. Dangerous situation. I hope you can use your good skills to serve the country and be loyal to the country. Of course, if you insist on refusing, I will never force you to do so. The cost of your coming to Yancheng will be The king will come out, and I will also send someone to take you home."
I didn't expect Tang Yin to say such words.
Lei Zhen is not a simple martial artist. He has been smart and alert since he was a child. He has read many books and has experienced many people. Seeing Tang Yin's shocked reaction just now, he was 100% sure that Tang Yin didn't know about this matter, but when he spoke, he took the whole matter on himself, and it was obvious that he was protecting the people below him.
Generally speaking, monarchs attach great importance to reputation. When people below them make mistakes, it is too late to extrapolate them. Few monarchs will take the blame on themselves. Tang Yin's reaction surprised him. Secondly, Tang Yin's easy-going attitude was beyond his expectation. He had heard a lot of rumors about Tang Yin, and he felt that he was a tough, sharp and ruthless person. Such a person may be considered a good monarch for the current Feng Kingdom, but it does not mean that he himself is a good monarch. Good people. Lei Zhen didn't want to sacrifice his life for such a person. But when I saw Tang Yin today, I felt that he was completely different from the Tang Yin in my impression.
Seeing him standing speechless for a long time, Tang Yin smiled again and said faintly: "Lei Zhen, if you want to go home now, you can leave immediately. I will not stop you. If you want to leave after the martial arts competition, naturally you can Okay, it's up to you." After saying that, he returned to the chair and sat down slowly.
Lei Zhen came back to his senses and took a deep look at Tang Yin on the stage. After a moment of silence, he raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to continue the competition!"
"Okay!" Tang Yin smiled brightly. If Lei Zhen left without fighting, the scene would be really embarrassing, and he couldn't explain it to the surrounding New Army soldiers. He nodded with a smile and said vigorously: "Whether you want to serve the country or not, whether you want to stay in the army or not, I hope you can show your true skills and let the soldiers present see the style of my brave warrior. !”
Lei Zhen's heart went out, and without saying a word, he bowed and bowed deeply, then raised his halberd and mounted his horse, clasping his fists to Zhang Tong who was still standing there stupidly and not understanding the situation, and said: "Brother Zhang, please mount your horse and fight!"
Zhang Tong suddenly came back to his senses. He looked at Tang Yin, then at Lei Zhen, curled his big mouth, picked up his sword and mounted his horse, and both he and Lei Zhen walked towards the center of the school military field.
He was dissatisfied. What ability did Lei Zhen have to get such courtesy from the king? He could come and leave whenever he wanted. He was simply arrogant.
He held back his breath, and after entering the battlefield, without even saying hello, he urged his horse to swing his sword and rushed towards Lei Zhen.
Before he could move, white mist emerged from his body, the spiritual armor transformation and the spiritual transformation of the weapon were completed at the same time, and the steel sword in his hand also turned into a dark gray spiritual sword.
"Roar--"
As there was a new competition on the battlefield, the surrounding soldiers of the Feng Army shouted in unison, especially when they saw Zhang Tong cleanly and lowly completing the spiritual armor and spiritual soldiers at the same time, the cheers were loud and the war drums were beating like exploding beans.
It's too late, but it's fast. In an instant, Zhang Tong has rushed to Lei Zhen, holding the spiritual sword high, radiating light, slashing from top to bottom, releasing the chaotic wind.
It is extremely difficult for the opponent to resist the release of the spirit wind at such a close range. This is also an almost desperate style of play.
The soldiers watching the battle all around took in their breaths, stopped shouting, and looked at the two people on the battlefield without blinking.
Lei Zhen was not in a hurry. He did not see him put on his spiritual armor, nor did he see him complete the spiritual transformation of his soldiers, nor did he yell before using his killing move. He just lifted the halberd in his hand from down. When he picked it up, he saw a dazzling bright light suddenly flashing from the tip of the halberd, and then, chaos and wind also came out.
The two of them released Spiritual Chaos and Wind, and countless spiritual blades collided in the air, canceling each other out and flying away. For a moment, the spiritual energy in the field surrounded them, and the energy was everywhere. The ground around the two of them was hit by the spiritual blades that flew away. Make a lot of cracks.
Amazing!
Most of the soldiers present were new recruits, and it was their first time to see such a fierce competition between spiritual cultivators. Their eyes were so wide that they almost flew out.
The two of them had an evenly matched fight, and no one was hurt. Just when the two horses were crossing each other, Lei Zhen suddenly said: "Brother Zhang, be careful, look at the halberd!" Before he could finish his words, the Kaitian War Halberd was launched. It had already struck Zhang Tong's head.
His halberd released spiritual martial arts skills without being spiritualized, but the body of the halberd was not damaged at all. It was obviously a treasure weapon. Zhang Tong did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly parried with his sword and shouted: "Open!"
Dang rang rang - plop!
Zhang Tong thought that his spiritualized sword would definitely be able to catch the opponent's unspiritualized halberd, but he was wrong. Lei Zhen's arm strength was beyond imagination, and the unspiritualized Kaitian War Halberd was actually caught in Zhang Tong's palm. The spiritual sword after spiritualization was bent hard. Zhang Tong, who was wearing spiritual armor, could barely withstand the powerful force, but the war horse he stepped on couldn't bear it. All four hooves were shattered and the horse's waist was broken, just like a Lying on the ground like a piece of meat, Zhang Tong was also thrown far away. The deformed spirit knife swirled in the air and bounced more than ten meters away.
