Chapter 157: Nine Powers
Luo Ping looked at the battle on the field, and said to himself, he himself is the same, until the qualifying round, he will not show all his strength at all, as long as he guarantees not to lose.
No one will play their hole cards in advance, nothing more than waiting for this last moment, even now, everyone can't really see what the real strength of the opponent is.
Luo Ping is the same, he can't see everyone's final strength thoroughly, and others can't see his depth either, so far in the game, he has always behaved relaxed and calm.
However, it is precisely because of this that everyone does not dare to underestimate him, because, no matter how strong his opponent is, Luo Ping can always perform stronger than his opponent, as if... It's as if there's no end at all.
In the second semi-final, after Luo Ping defeated a long-time famous and famous Congenital Perfection of various countries, everyone was speculating whether he had broken through the Innate Great Perfection realm.
Not only are the powerhouses of other countries speculating, but even the warriors of the Fengyuan Country are also guessing, and even Zong Lie and Zong Yuanhao don't know Luo Ping's current realm at all.
Because Luo Ping hadn't mentioned his current cultivation realm to anyone since the last time he practiced in retreat, he just told everyone that everything was at ease.
Therefore, Luo Ping's current strength is basically a mystery, and this is exactly the effect he wants, to confuse the opponent with the real and the false.
"Good!"
Not long after Luo Ping's words fell, he heard excited shouts from all around, and it turned out that there was already a group on the field that had already decided the winner.
The winner is the strong man of the Jinshui country, and the loser is the person of the Wu country, although the same is the congenital Dacheng realm, but due to the different years of cultivation, there is still a significant gap in strength.
"It seems that it is not unreasonable that Xiangguo and Jinshui can take turns to occupy the first place in the 'national competition', just by looking at the number of their strong men, besides, everyone's cultivation is very profound, which is even more difficult to shake. ”
"It shouldn't just be because of the huge land area of the two countries that this situation has occurred, what can help the innate powerhouse to cultivate is the Cave Heaven Blessed Land that contains the aura of heaven and earth, isn't it..."
Seeing that the powerhouses of Jinshui Kingdom and Elephant Kingdom on the field almost accounted for thirty percent, Luo Ping couldn't help but think in his heart.
...........................
"Haha, I'm sorry, my country won another game. ”
Hong Tai, the lord of Jinshui Country, said with a smile, as the host, of course, he attaches more importance to the issue of face, so every time a strong man of the country wins, he will show off.
This made the other lords, including the elephant kingdom, a little despised him, so much so that when he spoke, basically no one paid attention to him.
And Hong Tai doesn't care, he is still self-excited and self-absorbed, although the first place in this 'national competition' has fallen in the elephant country, but the first strong man in the 'Tiangang Evil List' has not yet been decided, and he is still very optimistic about the strong man in his country.
.......................................
A few days later, it was finally the turn of the top nine powerhouses on the Tiangang list, no matter what the previous rankings were, what everyone valued most was who the top few was.
A total of three people in Xiangguo were shortlisted for the top nine, in addition to the Cangshan Dao Chief, who was favored by the lords of various countries, there was also an old woman with a cane and an ugly face, and a middle-aged man who was dressed in tatters and had unkempt hair.
Although Luo Ping has not fought with the three of them, he has already understood the methods of the three of them, and knows that they are by no means good at them.
In addition to having a spiritual sense that is not weaker than Luo Ping, Cangshan Daoist also has a mysterious painting scroll, although in the previous game, the painting scroll has never been opened, but after just a few strokes, the opponent has been caught off guard.
The ugly old woman with a cane is said to have been betrayed by her husband when she was young, and killed dozens of her entire family in a fit of rage, and then disappeared without a trace.
Although she calls herself 'Lady Jade Face', no one agrees, and they all call her 'Black Widow of Femme Fatale' behind her back, perhaps because of the shadow of her youth, she has a special hobby, that is, she likes to capture handsome young men, and after some wind and rain torture, she will break his body into thousands of pieces.
However, the crutches in her hand still made Luo Ping pay special attention, because no matter what kind of attack or weapon encountered, it would be deflected, and it would be difficult to hurt her at all.
The middle-aged man in tattered clothes is also said to be a person with adventures, otherwise, it would be impossible to cultivate this realm at such an age.
Luo Ping also learned about it, it turned out that this person was an orphan since he was a child, wandering and begging all day long for a living, when he was ten years old, he met a master, and his fate changed since then.
Because he is unkempt, crazy and sloppy, he is called 'crazy beggar' by his fellow practitioners, he holds a dirty bowl for rice in his hand, and a gray cloth bag pinned to his waist, which makes Luo Ping very concerned.
One of the two people in Jin Shuiguo is a middle-aged man who has had a spiritual confrontation with Luo Ping, nicknamed "Broken Sword Butcher".
It is said that the giant sword on his back is only half of a sword left after it was broken, but no one has ever been able to confirm it.
Because, the speed at which he drew his sword, the speed at which he struck, and the speed at which he returned to the sheath were all in one go, like lightning, and no one could see it clearly at all.
The skill of killing is the same as that of a butcher in a vegetable field, so he has earned the title of Butcher of Broken Sword.
The other one is a gray-haired old man dressed in black, not tall, but very imposing, when he was in the previous competition, Luo Ping paid great attention to his body skills.
Because in his opinion, the speed of the old man's body is on par with himself, but his body style does not need to consume internal strength to do so, and the other party can actually do it, which really makes him admire.
Later, I learned that the old man's self-created sect is called 'Yufeng Gate', and he calls himself 'Yufeng Venerable', and the main cultivation is the speed of the body, which is a rare sect that uses the power of the wind to temper the body and cultivate the body at the same time.
The two people who have been promoted from the Fengyuan Country are of course Luo Ping and the 'Heavenly Sword Layman', one is a demonic young man with an explosion of luck and an adventure with an immortal envoy, and the other is the former sect master of the first sword cultivation sect of the Fengyuan Country who has been famous for a long time and has swordsmanship, all of them are eye-catching powerhouses.
Luo Ping and the 'Heavenly Sword Layman' have long been friends who have forgotten each other, and they both have a feeling of hating each other, and they are very impressed by each other's cultivation, and they are both eager to really compete on the field.
As for the rise of the 'Heavenly Sword Layman', Luo Ping felt that it was no worse than his own adventures, it is said that when the 'Heavenly Sword Layman' was young, he liked to travel to the famous mountains and rivers in China, looking for people to compete in swordsmanship.
Under the successive victories, he was carried away, and even tried to challenge a second-rate sect Tianjiao disciple at that time, the other party was in the early stage of cultivating as a military general, and he was only in the middle stage of the great martial arts.
The result can be imagined, he was not only defeated, but also ruthlessly wasted by the other party's skills, and became a wasted person.
Extremely regretful and humiliated, he chose to jump off a cliff and try to end his life, but halfway through, he was swept into a cave by a suction force.
Later, the 'Heavenly Sword Layman' obtained a set of swordsmanship exercises of unknown origin in the cave, and after practicing, he not only recovered his strength, but also took a different cultivation path from ordinary people - Dantian Sword Qi.
In the past few decades, he has not only cultivated to the level of a martial king, but also established a first-class sect 'Heavenly Sword Sect', and now ranks first in the Sword Cultivation Sect of Fengyuan Country, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
However, when Luo Ping knew that the other party was more than three hundred years old, he was still slightly surprised, this may be the oldest person among the people he knows.
The last two strong men, one from Ukraine, known as the 'wolf', were bald men, and his muscles were stronger and sexier than those of young men.
No one dares to underestimate the strength of the 'wolf', he grew up in the wolf's den, and he is accompanied by wolves all day long, with a bloodthirsty and ruthless nature in his bones, but once he identifies his friends, he will never stick a knife in the back and fall into the well.
The hands of the 'wolf' are like wolf claws, not only tough, but also full of hair, and the same is true of the arms, I don't know what kind of transformation has been undertaken, his arms and hands are as hard as peerless weapons.
The other one is from the country of Songmu, who seems to be a luxurious woman about half a hundred years old, but in fact she is also hundreds of years old, richly dressed, and has a good temperament.
This woman is a member of the royal family of the Songmu Country, named Qiao Wan, and according to her seniority, she is still the grandaunt and grandmother of Qiao Chong, the current lord of the Songmu Country.
In the past, even the lord of Matsuki Country himself didn't know about her existence, but if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the 'national competition' this time, it is estimated that no one would know that she was still alive.
Qiao Chong, the lord of the Songmu Country, has great respect for his grandmother who suddenly appeared, not to mention her seniority, even her cultivation strength is enough to be proud of the whole country and even all countries.
With the addition of this grandmother, Qiao Chong is finally a lot more relieved about this competition, at least someone can advance to the top nine.
Now, the nine powerhouses gathered in the arena, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and even the powerhouses of the Earth Demon List who had finished the qualifying round were all around.
After all, this is a rare learning opportunity, maybe they can understand in the process of their competition, and improve their skills again.
Before the game even began, the crowd around them began to speculate on who would be the winner.
It's just that in their opinion, the strength of the nine people is comparable, the means are different, basically they all have opportunities, and each strong man has countless supporters, and there are endless arguments outside the arena for a while.
What's more, the gambling game has been opened, and the odds are as high as one to one thousand, even so, there are still many people who bet on it, after all, they are either rich or expensive when they come here, and they are not bad at all.
................................
"See, someone has already opened a gambling game below, should we try it too?"
Ba Tianhai, the lord of the elephant country, asked meaningfully, and when the other lords heard it, they immediately became interested.
"I don't know how Brother Ba wants to gamble, is it the city, the horses or the supplies?"
At this moment, it was still the lord of Jinshui Country, Hong Tai, who took over the topic and asked rhetorically, and the others were silent for the time being, sitting silently.
"Haha, sure enough, Brother Hong still understands me, let's take the city, the loser gives the winner two cities for each family, how about not too much, right?"
Several lords thought that Ba Tianhai would make a bet that would be difficult to end, but after listening to it, they all felt that it was not a problem at all, and several cities were still acceptable.
"It seems that Brother Ba just wants to entertain this time, so let's accompany him, ah, how about it?"
Zong Lie didn't have any opinions, and at the same time asked several other lords, they also nodded in support, so a gamble between lords was decided.
