Chapter 162
Ying Xueluo
Zhuo Xiangding and Gu Yue Tian chatted for a while. Then, under the introduction of Gu Yue Tian, all the members of the Zhuo Family greeted the Ninth Commandery Princess one by one. However, when Zhuo Wen passed by the Ninth Commandery Princess, the Ninth Commandery Princess stared straight at him. No matter how thick-skinned Zhuo Xiangding was, he could not stand it!
Somehow, Zhuowen could feel that the Ninth Commandery Princess was staring at him like a hunter staring at his prey. Her eyes were full of ridicule and arrogance, which made Zhuowen a little uncomfortable.
After arriving at the group behind Gu Yue Tian, the white-clothed Gu Xin couldn't help but glance at Zhuowen. He had also heard about the recent rumors about Zhuowen, especially the absurd rumor that Zhuowen had actually killed a Human King Realm cultivator. Even he was filled with disbelief.
"Half-step to Corporeal Yang Stage?" Gu Xin muttered to herself. Her eyes were filled with doubt and doubt!
Zhuowen's aura was only at the Half-step Yang Realm. Although he knew that Zhuowen's Mind Power had reached Level Two, could he really kill a Human King Realm warrior with such strength?
What Gu Xin didn't know was that Zhuowen's main strength lay in the Ice Fire Saint Symbol and the ice and fire energy it contained. That was his ultimate trump card!
The moment Zhuowen appeared, Gu Yue's complicated gaze continuously paused on Zhuowen's body. She had heard of Zhuowen's various feats recently. She did not expect that Zhuowen would actually grow to such an extent after not seeing him for half a year.
Zhuowen silently stood at the back of the group with his eyes narrowed, as if he was taking a nap. However, a clear voice quickly sounded beside his ears.
"Zhuowen, were you really the one who killed Chen Sheng and Wang Yuanxing?"
Tilting his head, Zhuowen happened to see Gu Yue staring at him with a smile. Slightly stunned, Zhuowen scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile, "I was just lucky. In fact, the process at that time was not as exaggerated as the rumors say!"
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes moved as she stared at Zhuowen. From Zhuowen's expression, she could see that the young man in front of her didn't want to talk too much about the situation. Therefore, Gu Yue lowered her eyelids and deliberately avoided the topic. Instead, she chatted with Zhuowen about other things.
While chatting, Zhuowen also noticed that Gu Yue's cultivation had reached the third stage of the Corporeal Yang Realm. However, what shocked Zhuowen even more was that Gu Xin, who had been silently standing beside Gu Yue Tian, had reached the ninth stage of the Corporeal Yang Realm.
Zhuowen remembered that half a year ago, Gu Xin seemed to be at the half-step Corporeal Yang Realm. In just half a year, her cultivation had actually jumped so many levels. This made Zhuowen see the foundation of the City Lord Mansion once again. From this, it could be seen that Gu Yue Tian had invested a lot in Gu Xin!
Gu Yue Tian, who was in front of the group, also saw that everyone had arrived. Therefore, he shouted and led the group towards the outskirts in a grandiose manner.
Ten miles away from Rattan Armor City, there was a rather remote open space. The open space was a deserted field with weeds growing in it. However, the area was quite large.
In these three days, Gu Yue Tian had already sent people to cut the weeds in the open space and built a large arena on the open space.
The arena was built with hard bluestone. There were two in each direction, making a total of eight arenas. They were placed on the open space and looked rather neat and mighty.
At this time, many warriors had already gathered around the arena. Among them, there was no lack of mercenaries. After all, there were quite a number of mercenaries in Rattan Armor City.
The warriors gathered around the arena were basically the local forces of Rattan Armor City. As for the forces from the Commandery Capital, they naturally had no interest in this kind of competition for the quota in Rattan Armor City. Therefore, the Ninth Commandery Princess and the others were probably the only forces from the Commandery Capital who were willing to come and watch the competition for the quota.
When Gu Yue Tian and his group appeared on the open space, many warriors at the scene discussed animatedly and took the initiative to open a path for them.
Around the arena, there was a high platform that had been temporarily set up. There were many empty seats on the high platform. Gu Yuetian led the group to the high platform and took their seats, as they began to wait for the other participating factions to arrive.
Seated on the high platform, Zhuo Wen sized up the surrounding martial artists. When he discovered that the martial artists around him were of varying strengths, he narrowed his eyes in a disinterested manner and closed them to rest his mind.
However, this kind of rest did not last for long. Suddenly, an ear-piercing sound of rushing wind was heard. Then, a few figures appeared on the high platform.
There were only four people in this group, and the leader was an old man with white hair and beard. However, the old man had a kind and benevolent smile on his face, which made people feel that this old man was amiable at first glance.
Although the old man's smile was quite amiable, the aura on his body was as vast as the ocean. This aura had already surpassed the peak of the Corporeal Yang Stage. Zhuowen could feel that the old man's aura was even stronger than his grandfather, Zhuo Xiangding. It was not much different from the dead Liu Chengshang.
"Advanced Human King Realm!"
Zhuowen's pupils shrank. He did not expect that the leader of the force that had just appeared was already at the Advanced Human King Realm. This surprised Zhuowen. It seemed that there were many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Rattan Armor City!
"That is the head of the Huben Sect, Hu Xiao!
The Huben Sect is an extremely powerful force in Rattan Armor City!
Their overall strength is only slightly weaker than the City Lord Mansion. "As Zhuowen was observing the old man, Gu Yue Tian's voice sounded from behind him.
Hearing this, Zhuowen's eyes wandered and looked at the black-haired young man behind the old man. The young man's appearance was rather rough. He was tall and burly. The muscles on his body were like coiled roots. He looked quite terrifying.
"That is the head disciple of the Huben Sect's head, Hu Xiao, Hu Wuying!
I heard that this person has inherited Hu Xiao's true teachings. His Cracking Tiger Racing Fist has reached perfection. I'm afraid his strength has reached the ninth grade of the Corporeal Yang Stage! "
After introducing the old man, Gu Yue Tian did not forget to introduce the burly young man behind the old man.
As Zhuowen stared at the black-haired young man, the latter seemed to sense it and tilted his head. His gaze met with Zhuowen's. Immediately, a humming sound that resembled a monstrous roar swept across Zhuowen's mind.
This tiger roar was not executed by the black-haired young man. Instead, it was an aura that was involuntarily released from his body after he cultivated the Cracking Tiger Racing Fist to the extreme.
Zhuowen's expression was calm and his body did not move. When the roaring aura approached him, a pervasive cold air flashed across Zhuowen's eyes and easily canceled out the aura emitted by the black-haired young man.
"Oh?
Interesting. A warrior who is half a step to the Corporeal Yang Stage can actually cancel out the aura of the Cracking Tiger Racing Fist. Moreover, this fellow doesn't seem to be strained at all … "The aura dissipated. A trace of surprise flashed across the black-haired young man's eyes as he spoke with a smile.
"A warrior who is half a step to the Corporeal Yang Stage can actually cancel out the aura of your fist. Interesting.
Looking at the position that kid is standing, he should be one of the contestants sent by the City Governor's Mansion!
It seems that the City Governor's Mansion is getting worse year by year. They actually sent a kid who is half a step to the Corporeal Yang Stage to participate in the slot competition! "
The white-haired old man, Hu Xiao, also noticed the small friction between Hu Wuying and Zhuowen. He stroked his white beard and said with a faint smile.
The black-haired young man, Hu Wuying, nodded slightly. He immediately focused his gaze on Gu Xin, who was standing in front of Zhuowen. He calmly said, "It seems that the strong opponent this time should be Gu Xin. Judging from her aura, she should have reached the Corporeal Yang Stage Nine!"
Following the arrival of the Huben Sect, other forces in Vine Armor City also arrived. However, these forces' foundations were obviously much weaker than the Huben Sect's. None of the leaders were above the Corporeal Yang Stage, and the strength of the juniors they brought was uneven. Zhuowen even saw a few contestants who were only at the Yin Void Stage.
It was obvious that these forces were only here to make up the scene. At the same time, they also wanted to see the slot competition.
With the arrival of many forces, the entire open space became more and more lively. There were also many people sitting on the high platforms around the arena.
Just as the liveliness reached its peak, another violent sound of breaking wind rang out from afar. Soon after, three figures appeared proudly on the high platform.
However, the moment these three figures appeared, the scene suddenly fell into a brief silence. Even Gu Yue Tian, who was standing in front of Zhuowen, was silent. His gaze was fixed on the five figures that had just appeared.
The attentive Zhuowen even noticed that when these five figures appeared, Gu Yue Tian's body suddenly trembled, as if his body had been pushed by someone.
Zhuowen was a little puzzled by Gu Yue Tian's abnormal behavior. Hence, he focused his gaze on the three figures that had just appeared on the high platform.
The leader of the three figures was a middle-aged man in a long black robe. His eyes were cold and gloomy. A cold aura, like that of winter in the twelfth lunar month, spread out from the middle-aged man's body.
The moment this aura spread out, the entire arena fell into a gloomy and cold atmosphere.
Feeling the gloomy and cold aura from the middle-aged man, Zhuowen's pupils involuntarily shrank. He could feel that the aura from the middle-aged man's body was even stronger than Hu Xiao from the Tiger Ben Sect.
It was obvious that the middle-aged man in front of him was a Perfect Human King Stage expert. He only needed a moment of enlightenment to reach the Earth King Stage, which was the realm that the number one expert in Rattan Armor City, Gu Yue Tian, was currently at.
"The Sect Leader of the Yin Sifting Sect, Ying Xueluo!"
Gu Yue Tian's gloomy voice slowly spread out around the arena. His gaze was fixed on the middle-aged man in the black robe who had just appeared.
"Hehe!
So it's Gu Yue Tian. Every time there is a slot battle, you come so early. However, I'm afraid that you will return disappointed again! "Ying Xueluo's gloomy and cold eyes stared at Gu Yue Tian as his cold laughter rang out.
"Ying Xueluo, don't you think it's too early to be happy?
Don't let your joy turn to sorrow … "Gu Yue Tian smiled faintly, but his gaze became increasingly unfriendly.
