In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
Fang ping hated the alternation of night and day in the catacombs.
There were no signs, no preparations, no sunrise, no sunset, no dawn ...
It was like a black curtain had been lifted in an instant. The transition between night and day happened in the blink of an eye.
If he said it was dawn, then it was dawn. It was so fast that it would surprise you.
……
City Lord's mansion.
Although the city Lord's mansion was called a mansion, it was actually a Palace that occupied a huge area.
Outside the main hall of the city Lord's mansion was a huge square, which was also a martial arts practice field.
The martial arts practice field was lower than the main hall. From the martial arts practice field to the main hall, one had to pass through a flight of stairs that was a hundred meters long and more than ten meters high.
At this moment, outside the main hall, on the stairs.
The city Lord of monster Sunflower City stood proudly in the middle. Feng miesheng and Li an stood on his left, while the remaining rank eight and a few rank seven commanders stood on his right.
On the martial arts practice field below, there were thousands of people gathered. They were all young men and women.
"The age requirement for martial artists is not considered too high. However, be it in the catacombs or the human world, 30 years old is generally used as a limit.
After the age of 30, he had passed the golden period of practicing martial arts.
Unless the family had mines, they could use large amounts of life essence to reforge their bones and restore their vitality. Old man Li's rapid progress was actually related to the time when he broke down and then established, reforging his bones.
The young men and women below were generally under the age of 30. If they were a year or two older, they would not be noticed as long as it was not too obvious.
At this moment, these young men were all looking at the people above with reverence.
In the catacombs, there was a clear hierarchy.
Some of these people came from the villages outside the capital, some came from the small subsidiary cities, and some came from the outside of the capital.
Normally, they had almost no chance to come into contact with these high-ranked powerhouses.
However, today, there were more than ten high-ranked powerhouses here.
"Bow!"
On the high platform, a sixth-grade battle-general shouted.
In the next moment, the thousand-odd people below knelt down and shouted,""Greetings, my King!"
"Rise!"
The battle general shouted again.
Everyone stood up.
City Lord monster sunflower slowly said,"" 10 slots, everyone knows what the slots represent! Power, strength, wealth, and immortality!
In the past, they only had one chance every three years, five years ... Or even ten years!
Today, I'll give everyone an opportunity to fight with their own strength!"
With that, everyone in the martial arts practice field knelt down once again and thanked him loudly.
The battle general who had spoken before shouted," 1080 people, 108 people in a group! There were ten arenas, and each arena only took one person! The winner gets the spot!"
The rules were simple and crude.
Standing on the high platform, Fang Ping's expression was calm, but he was sighing in his heart.
These powerhouses from the catacombs were rather straightforward.
And below the stage, under the brutal arrangement of a large number of guards, the crowd was quickly divided into ten groups.
Ten Rings also rose from the martial arts practice field.
A battle general shouted again,"regardless of life and death, only one person will be left on each platform!" Go on stage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a thousand people stepped onto the ring.
As soon as he got on the ring, screams rose.
A rank-5 martial artist had just gone up and was attacked by more than ten people around him at the same time. He was instantly turned into minced meat!
Fang Ping's expression did not change. Like the people around him, he maintained his composure.
His heart was filled with awe!
The catacombs were ruthless!
There were no rules. 108 people in one arena, and only one person would be left. The number of casualties would probably not be low.
With such a brutal selection method, the elites selected would not be weak.
And even such an elite had entered the Forbidden Zone.
The restricted area ... Might be more dangerous than he had imagined.
These outer-domain elites had all gone to the restricted zone. The people he had killed in the Royal battlefield last time were only middle-ranked, and might not be true elites.
"The outer region sends a large number of elites to the restricted area every year. These people might have broken through to the high ranks long ago.
The ten arenas instantly began to fight.
Broken limbs quickly filled the arena.
These people were ruthless enough.
In the outer region, Fang ping and the others had rarely encountered any elite figures. Fang ping suspected that some of them had entered the restricted area, while the rest had probably died at the hands of their own people.
If such a competition were to be held once a year, who knew how many young talents would die?
Raising Gu!
This was the true cultivation of Gu!
The worm Kings that he had raised had all gone to the restricted area. This made Fang ping even more vigilant. He could not underestimate the strength of the restricted area just because of his success at the king Battle Ground the last time.
While Fang ping was watching the competition, there were two people standing beside him, a man and a woman.
Ten people were selected from the audience, and three people from monster Sunflower City had entered through the back door.
These three people plus the 10 people below the stage, 13 people would fight for 12 spots ... It was almost the kind of guaranteed entry.
Privileges were everywhere, and the catacombs were a clear example of that.
In Fang Ping's eyes, kuiming's status might not mean much, but in the eyes of others, the son of a rank-8 powerhouse was a real Crown Prince, a noble, and a high and mighty figure.
It was only right for a person like him to be recommended.
Fang ping was still watching the battle. Beside him, the female martial artist looked at Fang ping with a charming smile and said,"Kuiming, did you break through to the upper stage of battle general last night?"
Although Fang ping did not know this woman, he had asked about the situation of the people who were recommended.
It was a man and a woman. The man was called red knucklewood, and the woman was called Hua Bairong.
The red knucklewood was the grandson of another level eight expert in monster Sunflower City, not his son.
Hua Bai Rong was the daughter of a rank seven commander.
These two people were also rank-6. However, the red knucklewood was at the middle stage of rank-6, while Hua Bairong was only at the beginning stage.
Fang ping heard the woman conversing with him and said lightly,"I broke through by luck."
"Congratulations,"
Hua Bai Rong didn't care about his coldness and said with a smile,"Kuiming, you should be able to become a commander-level powerhouse soon. Don't forget about my sister when you reach that level."
Fang ping did not say anything, but the long-haired young man from the red knucklewood at the side frowned slightly and said softly,"Bai Rong, commander Ming is a peerless heaven's favorite of monster Sunflower City!
When he's in the Royal Court, he'll still think of you and me?"
After he said that, he laughed sarcastically and said,""I heard that last night, young commander Ming used up all of venerable kui's life stones. His hundred years of savings were used up in one day to break through to the upper-stage battle general level. He is really generous."
When these words came out, Hua Bairong was slightly embarrassed and did not say anything.
Kuiming and the red knucklewood were both descendants of eighth stage Venerables. They had long been on bad terms with each other, and their strength had been on par before.
In addition, kui Luo and the grandfather of the red knucklewood didn't get along well, so the two sides had never gotten along.
Now that kuiming had broken through, her realm was even higher than the red almagi.
However, everyone knew what had happened to kuiming's breakthrough. He had used up countless life stones and a Supreme realm expert's savings to reach the upper-stage of the battle general realm.
In everyone's eyes, this was not worthy of respect.
Especially in the eyes of the red knucklewood, what kui Ming had done was simply ridiculous.
Even his grandfather's entire savings did not amount to more than ten thousand life stones. The Hong clan had many descendants, and they were not like kui Luo, who was a loner and had only one son.
After so many years of consumption, when it came to the generation of the red knucklewood, he would only be able to receive three grade-nine life stones every month.
Ever since he was young, the number of life stones he had consumed over the years was not even as much as the number of life stones that kui Ming had consumed in one night.
Even so, kuiming was only a small realm higher than him, so the red knucklewood was naturally unconvinced.
When the red knucklewood heard that kuiming was valued by the two princes, it was very unconvinced.
He was younger than kui Ming and had fewer resources than him, but they were of the same cultivation level. His combat power was higher than kui Ming 's. If not for kui Ming's flattering skills and the fact that he had fought a venerable yesterday, how could he be his match?
He had sparred with kuiming many times and he knew how strong she was.
As for attacking a Supreme realm expert, it was kui Ming's father who was holding him back. The red knucklewood even suspected that it was kui Luo who had deliberately created such an opportunity for kui Ming.
It was to let the two Majesties see this scene, and thus, kui Ming was noticed by the two of them.
Naturally, Fang ping could hear the disdain in the red knucklewood's tone.
He could even sense that the high-ranked powerhouses in front of him were paying attention to them.
Fang Ping's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly said in a deep voice,"Your Majesty, your Majesties! Out of the 12 people who entered the Royal Court, there was one more! In order to save everyone's time, why don't I have a match with the red knucklewood? the loser will be disqualified!"
If possible, Fang ping wanted to eliminate the red knucklewood and Hua Bairong!
The two of them knew kuiming and were quite familiar with her.
Fang ping was worried that he would be exposed if he was with the two of them.
However, there was only one more person. Hua Bairong was only the daughter of a rank seven commander, and she was slightly weaker. She did not seem to be very hostile to kuiming.
It would be best if the red knucklewood could be eliminated!
A guy who was hostile to him must have been paying attention to him all the time. If he was not careful, it would be easy for him to be discovered. After all, he was not really Kuai Ming.
City Lord monster sunflower glanced at them but didn't say anything.
Li an, on the other hand, looked interested and said playfully,""You guys want to spar?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, this general has never gotten along with the red knucklewood! I am not willing to enter the Royal Court with him!"
Fang ping was being direct. All the people in power were like this, they hated the petty people.
He was more likable if he was honest and straightforward.
As soon as he said this, the red knucklewood's face also turned ashen. It hurriedly cupped its hands and said,"Your Majesty, your Highnesses, I am willing to spar with kuiming and decide on the spots!"
The rank-8 expert standing next to city Lord monster sunflower furrowed his brows slightly at these words.
He had seen Fang Ping's saber move yesterday.
It was quite powerful!
His own grandson might not be a match for him.
The Forbidden Zone was a rare place. The descendants of demon Sunflower City didn't need to worry about it, but he couldn 't.
It wasn't easy to get a spot. If they lost, wouldn't they lose the spot?
But now, the two Majesties seemed to be quite interested. It would be even more troublesome if he disturbed their mood.
At the thought of this, the rank-8 powerhouse quickly said,""Your Majesty, your Highnesses, it's fine to have a sparring session. The red knucklewood was already a middle-stage battle general, and kuiming was also an upper-stage battle general. No matter who was eliminated, it would be a loss for the palace.
Why don't we just compare notes ..."
Before he could finish, li an said impatiently,""It's just battle generals, the Royal Court has many! However, if the performance of these two people is good, bengong will give another spot!
Those people below are having no fun. Since you want to compare notes, then start. Don't waste this Queen's time!"
"Your Highness, weapons have no eyes ..." Fang ping said immediately.
"Cut the crap. If he's dead, then he's dead. Hurry up and start!"
Li an didn't care about their lives at all. Not only him, but Feng miesheng was the same. As a middle-rank, it didn't matter if they died.
It would be meaningless if his hands and feet were bound.
There wasn't much fun in the outer region, so it was good to watch a show.
A smile appeared on Fang Ping's face. He looked at the red knucklewood and said indifferently,"Red knucklewood, if you insist on seeking death, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The red knucklewood sneered!
Kuiming was only one rank higher than him. This was not the difference between a quasi-commander and a battle general, or even the difference between peak battle general.
The only difference between the two sides was the sealing of a door.
The difference between middle-stage and upper-stage rank-6 was not that big.
The red knucklewood couldn't be bothered to say anything more and directly jumped off the high platform.
He had just jumped off the high platform when Fang ping drew his saber!
"Kagu!"
Fang ping let out a roar. Without even stepping down from the high platform, he slashed with his saber!
Off the stage, the red knucklewood's expression changed drastically.
On the stage, the rank-8 powerhouse's expression also changed. Just as he was about to make a move, the two rank-8 powerhouses next to li an had already locked on to him, full of murderous intent!
You dare to interfere in front of His Highness?
The rank-8 powerhouse paused for a moment, and with this pause, Fang Ping's saber gleam had already descended!
"No!"
The red knucklewood let out a violent roar. It didn't even have time to escape before its Sanjiao gate instantly appeared ... But it was too late!
BOOM!
With a loud explosion, the head exploded!
Fang ping sheathed his saber, his face calm. He quickly cupped his hands toward the mayor of monster Sunflower City and Feng miesheng, saying,"Your Majesty, your Highnesses, this general has won!"
Bang! Bang!
After he finished speaking, the headless body of the red knucklewood fell to the ground.
"Kuiming!"
The rank-8 powerhouse next to city Lord monster sunflower had a livid expression!
Kuiming had actually killed the red knucklewood with a single slash!
He was furious, but li an and Feng miesheng didn't care. Feng miesheng couldn't help but take a few more glances at Fang ping and smiled."Not bad, not bad at all!
It seems like you're even stronger than you were yesterday. It seems like your breakthrough didn't cause you to lose control of your strength ...
Monster Sunflower City has produced a true genius this time. "
Li an also smiled faintly."It's fine if the trash is dead. Venerable red, it's just a descendant of a trash who died. We can just have a few more." This Prince has made the decision to let your Hong family send one more person into the Royal Court. Kuiming, you have done well. "
Venerable Red's face was ashen, but he was suppressing his anger and forced a smile.""Thank you, Your Highness, for your help!"
It was only then that city Lord monster sunflower looked at Fang ping. After a long while, he nodded slightly and said,"When you go to the Royal Court, don't embarrass monster Sunflower City. I didn't expect you to improve so much in just a few days ..." He said.
Fang ping hurriedly expressed his thanks and did not say anything else.
As for the red knucklewood, it was only a middle-stage rank-6 martial artist. It was fine if he killed it.
With Castellan Yao kui, Feng miesheng, and the others around, no matter how bold venerable Hong was, Fang ping would not dare to make a move on him.
Besides ... D * MN, you have to work if you're paid!
He went to visit Feng mie Sheng and the other man early in the morning and gave each of them about 500 pounds of energy liquid. The two of them looked as if nothing had happened, but who knew how excited they were?
"If these two don't say anything after killing a middle-ranked martial artist, would they be worthy of the energy liquid I gave them?
He could also display his strength and make the two of them value him more.
He conveniently solved the problem of the red knucklewood to prevent any problems from arising.
After killing the red knucklewood in one slash, Fang ping glanced at Hua Bairong out of the corner of his eye. Hua Bairong's beautiful face had really lost all color at this moment. She could feel the fear on Fang Ping's face when he looked at her, but it quickly turned into a smile, with a fawning expression.
She didn't expect that kuiming's strength would improve so much that the red knucklewood was actually killed with a single strike!
On the other side, Fang ping had finished dealing with the red knucklewood.
Below the stage, the 10 arenas were also extremely bloody.
More than 1000 people, in a short time, the death count had exceeded 100!
There were also some injured people who fell off the stage, wailing.
……
After nearly half an hour, the victors of the 10 arenas were almost all decided.
Even the victors were covered in injuries. Some were even on their last breath.
Looking at these people's faces full of anticipation, on the stage, Feng miesheng suddenly said lightly,""The victors of Arena 1,5, and 9 are too heavily injured. They are disqualified! The other 7, plus kuiming and the Hong family, 10 people are just right. "
City Lord monster sunflower frowned slightly, but he quickly smiled and said,""Arrange for two more people."
"As you wish."
Feng miesheng didn't mind. He had promised 12 people before, so it didn't matter if he arranged two more.
However, he didn't want to stay here for too long, and he didn't want to waste any more time. He quickly said,""Let these people pack up and leave immediately. We'll return to the Royal Court later!"
City Lord monster sunflower didn't waste any time. He glanced at a commander beside him, and the latter quickly went to make arrangements.
As for whether the three victors, who were heavily injured, were unwilling or not, that was not within their consideration.
If their injuries were too severe, they would have to spend a lot of resources to help them heal. The catacombs powerhouses were not so kind.
When Fang ping saw this Scene and Heard these words, even though his expression did not change, his heart was filled with emotions.
This was the catacombs!
So realistic that it chills your heart!
At this moment, he could really understand why the catacombs 'cities rarely joined forces.
"In such a realistic catacombs, without the orders of powerhouses, how can we join forces unless it's a matter of life and death?
The true monarchs of the true Monarch Palace were most likely unwilling to break through the seal of the defensive Sea Mountain because of this.
If not for the seed of rebirth's great temptation to the true Kings, they might not have been willing to take the risk to fight with the human powerhouses.
Even though the temptation of the seed of rebirth was great, some true Kings were probably hesitating.
Just convincing these true Kings would take a long time.
"In the catacombs, there's definitely a powerful figure who organized all this! "Otherwise, on the catacombs 'side, it's reasonable to say that they should be a plate of loose sand, each doing their own thing! Hall Master? Or the king Lord?"
Fang ping judged in his heart that there were definitely powerhouses who had organized and planned for the powerhouses to form an alliance.
"Perhaps ... After we kill this powerhouse from the organization, the catacombs will disperse!"
Fang ping had another thought.
With such a group of selfish powerhouses, once the organizer was killed, the others would probably retreat very quickly.
"The palace Master of the true king Palace?"
Fang ping felt that this should be the case. The monster plant imperial court's King Lord was not even a true king, so it would be difficult for him to do this.
"Besides, this King Lord has only been in power for a few years. The catacombs already had the intention to attack the humans previously. It shouldn't be the king Lord's plan.
However, the increase in the number of Wars in the past hundred years was probably related to this King Lord!
A hundred years ago, the two sides rarely fought.
"At that time, there will be fewer catacombs entrances and fewer Wars.
Those true king realm experts were probably waiting for the passageway to open. They were not thinking of starting a war, but waiting for the last moment to arrive.
And when the monster plant imperial court's King Lord took over, there would be more Wars.
Old Zhang was right, that guy was very ambitious.
However, it was also because of the frequent wars that the current human martial arts world existed. Otherwise, without pressure, there would be no emergence of the new martial arts era.
"I don't know if I should be grateful or hateful."
Fang ping muttered to himself. The war started by the monster plant imperial court's King Lord had opened the new martial era for the two top-tier martial artists in Star Town City. From the martial artists of more than ten thousand back then, there were now more than two million martial artists in Sino nation!
Three paragons had been born in recent years.
"Only after that did martial arts universities come into existence. That's how all the commoners have the opportunity to come into contact with martial arts.
……
About half an hour later.
The 12 of them gathered in the main hall of the city Lord's mansion.
There were a total of 9 rank-6s, including Fang ping and Hua Bairong.
The other three were peak rank-5.
Among them, Fang Ping's ability was the strongest as he was an upper-stage rank-6. The other 8 rank-6s included both middle and lower-stage rank-6s.
In the outer region, a rank-6's strength was considered not weak, not to mention that they were all young.
Even in the Forbidden Zone, these people were considered geniuses.
There were so many Paragon powerhouses in Star Town City, but there were not many rank-6s under the age of 30.
Just as everyone was gathered, one of the two rank-8 martial artists following Feng miesheng casually threw it, and a small palace appeared outside the hall!
Fang Ping's pupils contracted!
Then, it glowed!
Extravagant!
A divine weapon!
This small palace was actually a divine weapon!
As Fang ping watched, city Lord monster sunflower watched as well. After a while, he laughed."What a good treasure, forged from the cores of three Supreme realm demonic beasts. Furthermore, they are from the same source. This is rare, too rare!"
It was extremely rare to see three rank-8 demonic beasts of the same clan.
Under normal circumstances, if the heart and brain cores were used to forge a divine weapon and not the demon cores of the same demonic beast, there would be a conflict, and it might even explode.
However, three rank-8 beasts from the same clan did not have such a taboo.
This small palace was equivalent to three rank-8 magic weapons. In fact, it was more expensive because three rank-8 beasts of the same race were too rare.
This thing was somewhat inferior to an ordinary ninth-grade magic weapon.
Rank-9 magic weapons were also divided into strong and weak ones. Those made from weak rank-9 demon cores and those made from the demon cores of the origin path demons were different.
This Palace was at least comparable to a ninth-grade magic weapon forged from the demonic cores of a Dao of origin demonic clan.
Li Yu laughed."City Lord, you must be joking. It's just a ride. Thirty years ago, the monkey clan invaded the king's land. Father ordered the gods to exterminate the monkey clan and built this Palace ..."
Li an explained a little but didn't say much.
City Lord monster sunflower did not ask any further. He quickly turned to look at Fang ping and the others, saying sternly,"After entering the restricted area and the Royal Court, you must listen to Your Highness's orders. If you overstep your boundaries, you will die!"
"Yes!"
Everyone agreed, and Li an jumped up and flew into the palace.
The other high-ranks also flew up to the palace.
"Go up!"
A rank-7 powerhouse shouted, asking Fang ping and the others to follow.
Fang ping and the others also leaped up and stepped into the palace.
A rank-8 powerhouse was controlling the palace at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they had left monster Sunflower City.
……
At the same time.
In the back garden of the city Lord's mansion.
Kui Luo came out of seclusion in the end. He looked at the palace flying away with a look of loss.
By the time his subordinate reported, Fang ping had almost emptied the Treasury. What he received was not kui Luo scolding Fang ping, but a palm strike that turned the reporting martial artist into a pile of mush!
"You're too noisy!"
Kui Luo's face was filled with impatience."My son has entered the Forbidden Zone, entered the Imperial court, and has a boundless future. What's a mere treasure house to him?"
In the future, he would be in charge of a large city in the Forbidden Zone or be a King in the outer region. How could he compare to today?
In the past, she had felt that her son was lacking in courage, but she was greatly pleased that he had killed the red knucklewood with one strike after attacking the venerable one yesterday.
How could he gain a foothold if he wasn't ruthless!
Looking at the main hall of the city Lord's mansion, kui Luo sneered. The red leaf venerable had tried to find trouble with him several times.
The king also held a grudge against him because of what happened last time.
But now, my son is highly regarded by the two Majesties. Once he is able to become a disciple of the true king, even the king will have to give him some face in the future.
"When my son gains a foothold in the Royal Court, I'll go to the Forbidden Zone and no longer be at your beck and call!"
Kui Luo's thoughts were wonderful. After these few times of escaping from death, he already had the thought of escaping the outer region.
He had been in the war for more than a year, and he had narrowly escaped death several times. Monster Wood city's destruction had made him even more terrified.
If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have a way, he would have left the outer region long ago.
At this moment, venerable Hong Ye was still trying to fight for power. Little did he know that kui Luo was sneering in her heart. She wished that this fellow would take away her position as the general of the Imperial Guards so that venerable Hong Ye could deal with the resurrected martial artists!
