The first among the heavens begins with martial arts

Chapter 34
The Battle of Luoyang is the most eye-catching event in Jianghu in recent years.

There hasn't been an open demigod battle since 25 years ago.

The last time was when Yan Nantian defeated the jellyfish Yin Ji with his sword.

The new generation of warriors have basically never seen the methods of demigods.

Countless warriors want to see this pinnacle battle.

A large number of martial arts people with swords and knives gathered in Luoyang. Three days before the duel day, all the inns and houses in Luoyang were full.

The prefect of Luoyang was under great pressure, fearing that there would be some trouble, so he could only urge the six gates to do more inspections to prevent chaos.

The Ten Factions Alliance also sent a large number of disciples to maintain order together. As the people responsible for this duel, they are also duty-bound.

On the eve of the duel, Luoyang City is like a kettle that is about to boil, and it may erupt at any time. Even Yang Zheng and Jin Jiuling, the two chief arresters of the Six Gates, North and South, are restless.

"I always feel that there are more than ten factions and money gangs involved in this duel."

Yang Zheng's eyes are full of righteousness, and he walks, sits, and lies upright, making people feel that this person is trustworthy. The only thing that doesn't match his temperament is the parting hook hanging on his waist.

Jin Jiuling shook his folding fan lightly. There was no wrinkle on his luxurious clothes. He looked more like a rich man than a headhunter. "This is obvious. Maybe your deadly enemy Di Qinglin is also among them."

Hearing the word Di Qinglin, Yang Zheng's eyes flashed sharply and said: "Di Qinglin is no longer worth mentioning. He who has lost everything will be brought to justice sooner or later."

Jin Jiuling smiled slightly and said, "Yesterday, my subordinates destroyed several dens selling banned books. Unfortunately, the people behind the scenes were very cautious and did not reveal any flaws."

Yang Zheng shook his head and said: "I can't find out the root cause here, the manipulator behind it must be very powerful, they are publishing the book regardless of the cost, if this continues, it won't be long before this matter can't be concealed at all. .”

Jin Jiuling spread his hands: "If you can't hide it, then don't hide it. You should know it by now. All the big gangs and factions have a lot of stocks. The court should just pretend that they don't know."

"The only ones who have been concealed are the savages and small sects, and there are too many people who know about it. Sooner or later, this matter will be known to the world. The imperial court is purely doing useless work."

Yang Zheng remained silent. Not only did he agree with Jin Jiuling's judgment, but he was also very dissatisfied with the court's behavior. Obviously the formula of longevity is a good thing, but the upper echelons insisted on burning and banning the book.

Yang Zheng, who has become the head of the six-door northern chief arrester from an ordinary little catcher, is deeply aware of the treacherous officialdom, and he is not afraid to speculate on his superiors with the deepest malice, and vaguely guessed the court's thoughts.

Longevity is also something you mudlegs can have?

"Before I came, Miao Seng Wu Hua had just entered the city. It seems that the rumors in the world are likely to come true."

Yang Zheng said: "That's not necessarily the case. After all, the Northern and Southern Shaolin families have been separated for a long time, and Master Wuhua Master Tianfeng objected to his taking over. Maybe he just came to watch this duel."

Jin Jiuling was noncommittal, he is a lay disciple of the famous Northern Shaolin Master Bitter Gourd, so he is very clear about the veracity of this rumor.

The two exchanged defenses again, and Yang Zheng suddenly said, "Master Jin, who do you think will have the last laugh in this duel?"

Jin Jiuling waved his folding fan a few times, "If there is no longevity formula, the outcome is unpredictable, but now Shangguan Jinhong, no matter how talented he is, can't defeat the rejuvenated Tie Daxia. I'm afraid he knows it well."

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "With the iron hero's style, people will always be given a chance to change their minds, so they will not hurt Shangguan Jinhong, but the Ten Factions Alliance will not miss this opportunity. Shangguan Jinhong wants to evacuate safely from Luoyang. It is difficult to do it with the strength of the money gang..."

The two laughed together, "So he must have enough support, what could it be?"

……

Shangguan Jinhong's timing was just right, and it wasn't until the evening before the duel that the money gang came to Luoyang City in mighty force.

Gang leader Shangguan Jinhong, deputy gang leader Jing Wuming, Shangguan Jinhong's son Shangguan Fei, King Kong Tieguai Zhuge Gang, wind and rain and meteor Xiangsong, except for the twelve astrological signs and ghost villas who dare not be exposed to the sun, they are almost out of the nest.

The Money Gang had booked Ruyiju, the largest restaurant in Luoyang City, early on, so they didn't wander around after entering the city, and went straight to the accommodation.

The Ten Faction and the Money Gang did not send people to contact them, but conveyed the news through Ji Bingyan and the Six Doors. After confirming that nothing happened, many people had already gone to the decisive battle location ahead of time.

White Horse Temple twelve miles away from Luoyang City.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, members of the Money Gang headed towards the White Horse Temple. Along the way, a large number of warriors followed and watched, but they couldn't see Shangguan Jinhong sitting in the carriage.

Tie Zhongtang had been waiting in the White Horse Temple for a long time. He washed and ate as usual, without the slightest sign of tension before the battle.

Chu Liuxiang and Ji Bingyan were more active than usual, but Qian Heng could see that they were not worried, but purely happy to witness the master's fight.

Tie Zhongtang's prestige built up over the past century has condensed into unconditional trust in their hearts, and it may even be more confident than Tie Zhongtang himself.

Qian Heng used the qi-watching technique he had comprehended, and the qi mechanisms within a radius of ten miles were chaotic, with hundreds of auras interacting with each other. It was indeed the most densely populated place he had ever seen masters.

Seventy or eighty masters, two-digit grand masters, and three demigods.

Among the grandmasters, the Ten Factions Alliance accounted for at least [-]%, plus the onlookers, only Shangguan Fei, King Kong Tieguai Zhuge Gang, and Feng Yushuang Meteor Xiangsong were the only ones who stood out from the Money Gang.

It can also be seen from this that the strength of the ten faction alliance is the highest in the Central Plains. Once a war really starts, Shangguan Jinhong probably can only escape with his body.

From ancient times to the present, the only one who can win the siege without fear is the magician, the only master of gods and demons. Even Qian Heng can't stop the siege of so many warriors.

The upper limit of his vitality plague to wipe out miscellaneous soldiers is only a third-rate master, and a master craftsman with deep internal skills can resist the plague.

Among the masters above the masters, there is only Jing Wuming in the Money Gang, Dugu Yihe, the head of Emei in the ten faction alliance, Mu Taoist, a famous Wudang master, Wuhua, the wonderful monk in Southern Shaolin, and Guo Dalu, the head of the Iron Blood Banner Sect. .

The other great masters who came to visit and join in the fun were not counted as Chu Liuxiang, and there were six people who did not hide their identities, namely Huo Xiu, the richest man in the world, Yang Zheng and Jin Jiuling, the two chief arresters of Six Doors, and Hua, the young master of Yihua Palace. There is no shortage, the west gate of Wanmei Villa blows snow, and the eagle king moves into the sky.

There were four great masters who did not show up in secret, one of them had an obscene and arrogant aura, and Qian Heng guessed it was Wei Wuya, the number one rat among the twelve astrology signs; He was a sword-wielding assassin, and Qian Heng couldn't guess his identity. He remembered whether it was Zhongyuan Dianhong or Meng Xingsun, he should still be the master.

There was another person whose aura was even more familiar. Not long ago, Qian Heng was drunk with him, but he didn't know why Lu Xiaofeng wanted to hide his identity; the last one had a crazy and domineering aura, and Qian Heng really couldn't guess his identity for a while.

But what caught Qian Heng's attention the most was the demigod master who suddenly appeared outside the dueling duo. This master was carelessly mingling among the crowd, grandly preparing to watch the battle.

Qian Heng just glanced out of the corner of his eye, and he seemed to be aware of it, pretending not to find out who was paying attention to him.

If Qian Heng hadn't known his strength a long time ago, he might have discovered it directly.

Although it was just a glance, Qian Heng can be sure that the other party has undergone a disguise, and the method is exactly the same as the disguise method recorded in Lianhua Baojian.

This method of disguise comes from Yunmeng Fairy, the female devil who ran rampant in the Jianghu 30 years ago. .

There are less than ten known and suspected demigods in the arena, and Qian Heng guessed the real identity of this person just by slightly eliminating them.

Yu Luocha, the leader of Raksha Sect.

As expected, Shangguan Jinhong's trump card was another demigod.

Shangguan Jinhong's carriage finally entered the designated place.

Under the gaze of all the people, Jing Wuming opened the door curtain.

Shangguan Jinhong finally appeared in front of everyone.

His eyes are deep, his aquiline nose is curved like a moon, and his lips are as thin as a line, which gives people a cold and ruthless feeling. With his broad shoulders and burly figure, anyone who sees him at the first glance will immediately be impressed. The word Xiongxiong came to mind.

He is also indeed a hero, ascended to the demigod at the age of 50, and became the only surviving leader of the Qinglong Society after the destruction, beating the Kansai three factions dare not take revenge.

Although the location of the battle is at the White Horse Temple, there is no specific location. When the two sides meet, they can start at any time.

Tie Zhongtang also walked out of the crowd and walked towards his opponent, his expression was leisurely, as if he was on a picnic, walking like a car.

When the distance between the two sides was ten feet, they stopped at the same time.

"This battle is actually unnecessary."

"We must fight!"

"I will not keep my hand in a duel."

"There is no need to keep your hands. If I am killed, I deserve it!"

Tie Zhongtang paused, knowing that he could not convince the other party, he asked another doubt.

"Where's your ring?"

Shangguan Jinhong's hands were empty, and he couldn't see the prestigious dragon and phoenix rings.

"in my heart!"

Not far away, Qian Heng couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and spat in his heart: "Here we come, the ancient dragon-style duel is finally here, and the pretenders are here."

Tie Zhongtang smiled, "There is no ring in the hand, but there is a ring in the heart. It's a good state."

"Just good?"

"Could it be that you still think it's a very high level?"

"Someone once told me that this realm is already the third to last realm of martial arts, and after being practiced, it is also a rare opponent among demigods."

"You might as well talk."

"The second highest state is that there is no ring in the hand, and there is no ring in the heart. The ring is me, and I am the ring. If you achieve it, you will be number one in the world at your fingertips."

"Sounds interesting."

"The highest state is wonderful good fortune, no rings and no self, if you forget both, you will be invincible and omnipotent. This may be the realm of gods and demons."
