Who is fighting

(I don't vote for the book, the author screams, the hunger and thirst are unbearable!)

In front of the main hall of the inner mansion, the man who advocated Xingkong stood with his hands behind his back, and the ten disciples who participated in this year's inner school disciple election lined up in a row, calm and respectful.

Zhang Xingkong, the current palace lord, Dinghaishenzhen of Zhongnanjianfu.His cultivation base is also the highest in the Sword Palace, reaching the ninth rank of Qi Dao.It is only half a step away from the kingly stage.

Judging from the appearance, if he is middle-aged, he is actually sixty-one, sixty years old.

This was the second time Liang Qiufeng saw Zhang Xingkong.

As the head of the palace, Zhang Xingkong's surname is peaceful, and he is more approachable than the four elders.

"Hehe, don't be nervous. Except for Liang Qiufeng, the other nine of you have all participated in the election of inner disciples. How come it seems that Liang Qiufeng is the most relaxed?"

Among the ten disciples, apart from Liang Qiufeng, the remaining nine were all "old men".Among them, at least one of them participated in the inner sect disciple election assessment, but failed and failed.Some individuals have even participated in it two or three times.

However, the content of the assessment for inner disciple elections is different every year, and new ones are introduced every year, so there is not much experience to learn from.

As for facing Zhang Xingkong with trepidation, that was entirely a psychological problem.

Palace Master, the highest ranking person; he is also a super master of the ninth stage of Qi Dao, so it's no wonder that he is not nervous in front of him.

Compared with them, Liang Qiufeng was calm and calm.

Zhang Xingkong said slowly: "Inner sect disciples, the focus is on the word 'nei'. Nei means closeness and confidentiality. Therefore, I have been in the Southern Sword Mansion. For thousands of years, the criteria for selecting inner sect disciples have been based on character first, followed by cultivation. .The so-called character, microscopic knowledge, is the most true in daily life. Since you have obtained the qualifications for election, there is no problem in this regard..."

Jianfu inspections are everywhere.For example, various quota tasks, daily performance, and even daily sword practice are all counted as attendance.

Zhou Xuanshui listened, and couldn't help but slander: "It's nice to say, Liang Qiufeng has been worshiped in the Sword Palace for less than a year. How about his character, is the test clear?"

Of course, these criticisms are categorically afraid to speak out.

Hearing Zhang Xingkong continue: "The character has passed the test, so now the main assessment is the cultivation and fighting power. The inner disciples are elected, and the assessment content is different every year. Now I announce: this year's form is..."

When it came to the most crucial thing, the ten disciples, without exception, pricked up their ears to listen, for fear of missing a single word.

"—Enter the sword cave, kill the sword demon, and obtain the evil spirit. It will last for six hours. The two with the best results in the end will officially become inner disciples."

"Wow!"

"It's so difficult."

"It's even harder than last year..."

Hearing the word "Sword Cave", everyone showed bitter faces one after another, secretly complaining.

The Sword Cave belongs to a secret place in the Sword Mansion.When the sect was first established, it already existed, with a total of nine layers, unfathomable.

This place leads directly to an underground spring of evil spirit, and evil spirit gushes out all the time.Over the years, it has formed a dangerous place.

Those evil spirits were turbulent and lingering, and over time, they condensed and evolved into a kind of inhuman existence, like a lonely ghost, named "Sword Sha".

Sword Sha, which is unique to Jian Cave, kills it to obtain a grain of evil energy essence, referred to as "Sha Yuan".

Although the evil element is formed by the condensation of evil energy, it can be used as a medicine to guide and refine elixir, so it is quite valuable.

The Sword Cave is divided into nine floors, and each floor has a different level of Jiansha. The first floor is the weakest, and the ninth floor is the strongest.However, even the lowest-level Sword Sha is very difficult to kill for warriors with a strength of about five or six stages.

No wonder everyone sighed when they heard that they were going to take the sword cave assessment.

Zhang Xingkong saw it in his eyes and smiled slightly: "The sword cave is unusual. If the evil spirit enters the body, it will be life-threatening. For the sake of safety, I will give each of you a teleportation talisman before entering. When there is danger, pinch Breaking this talisman will interact with the Sword Cave Formation and be sent out automatically. Of course, doing so will be equivalent to quitting the campaign ahead of schedule."

The sword cave is not only a fierce place, but also a place of training.Therefore, the founder of the Kaipai in the past spared no effort in manpower and material resources to create and arrange many formations and restrictions, which have various wonderful functions.

But usually, the sword cave is rarely open, and only the talented and talented disciples can get the opportunity to enter the sword cave for sharpening.

For example, the two true disciples, Long Xiangtian and Leng Zhu'er, both entered the Sword Cave.At that time, Leng Zhu'er went down to the fourth floor, but Long Xiangtian was able to kill to the sixth floor.

Unexpectedly, this year's inner sect disciples' election assessment was actually arranged to go to the sword cave, which made people gasp.

"Okay, I've finished what I have to say. Follow me to the Sword Cave. Be careful, don't talk along the way, let alone leave temporarily. Anyone who violates the rules will automatically abstain."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xingkong flicked his sleeves, took the lead, and went to the back mountain.

The ten disciples followed quickly, not daring to speak.

Zhou Xuanshui and Ma Qianjun walked together. Although they didn't speak, they made eye contact and could convey information.

They faintly revealed a hint of joy.

Entering the sword cave to kill Jiansha is difficult, but everyone is the same, it is very fair, so it doesn't matter.And they came from the same front, without suspicion, and they cooperated seamlessly, and the efficiency of killing Jian Sha together was definitely better than that of a single person.

Apart from this, the two of them also wanted to do a more important thing, to assassinate Liang Qiufeng.

On other occasions, with outsiders present, it would be difficult to attack.But the Sword Cave is different. It is located underground and is almost completely enclosed. In addition, it is gray all day long, and the sight is very obstructed.The two people are separated by a little distance, and they cannot see their faces clearly.

Moreover, after entering, there is no one to supervise, and there are many methods and actions, which are not afraid of being used unscrupulously.

In this way, the sword cave is simply a tailor-made perfect assassination environment.As long as the assassins are killed without anyone noticing, Liang Qiufeng will definitely die, even the teleportation talisman will not be able to save his life.

To take a step back, even if this kid escapes by chance, as long as the other party has no hope of advancing to the inner sect disciple, Zhou Wenbo's instructions will be considered fulfilled.

Disciple elections and assessments will inevitably confront each other and create competition.In this process, in principle, it is stipulated that no killer is allowed.However, the forms in the Sword Cave are complicated, and it is impossible to distinguish them. Even if someone is killed, the Sword House is not easy to investigate.

After figuring it out, Ma Qianjun and Zhou Xuanshui were overjoyed, and looked at the back of Liang Qiufeng who was walking in front, as if they were looking at a dead person.

The back mountain is huge and the landform is intricate. The sword cave is located in the southeast, about ten miles away.

A group of people walked slowly, crossed a large canyon, and turned around a forest. The scenery in front of them changed drastically.

On a cliff more than ten feet high, there is a stone portal with simple and mottled patterns.On the left and right sides of the gate, there is a statue of a ten-foot-high stone man, holding a spear, in a majestic and lifelike shape.

Behind the portal is the Sword Cave.

To open the Sword Cave, you need the Palace Master's Command Talisman.After Zhang Xingkong gave some more explanations, he took out a golden bar-shaped talisman and inlaid it in the organ on the right side of the portal, arousing his true energy.

Boom!

The portal slowly opened, and it looked like a huge mouth that opened to swallow everything.

"The sword cave is open, go in quickly!"

Zhang Xingkong gave an order.

The ten disciples stretched out their bodies one after another and rushed into the sword cave.

Behind them, the heavy stone door slowly closed again.
