Chapter 199 The Dark Clouds Are Overwhelming and the Domineering Power Leaks Out.

The matter is settled.

Luo Zhengting and Luo Zhengxun left the city lord's palace. The head of the palace, Gan Ruyuan, only had a few words with Qiao Renzhou and then left.

All the guards retreated, and Qiao Renzhou and his son returned to the lobby.

"Dad, three days is too short!" Qiao Qiliang's injury was not serious. There were two bruises on his neck, which were extremely eye-catching.

But at this moment, he had no time to take care of this. It seemed that the master of the palace had temporarily rescued them, but in fact, he had already roasted Su Chen on the fire rack.

If Su Chen was given ten days and a half, it would be possible to win the competition, but with only three days, the hope was too slim.

Once Su Chen appears, will Luo Shi easily spare him?

A life-and-death contest is not about ending at a point, but a matter of life and death. Only one of the two can survive.

Qiao Renzhou's eyes flickered: "Then prepare for the worst."

"What's the plan?"

"In this competition, no matter whether Su Chen appears or not, there is only one worst outcome, and that is losing the competition, Hong Ming and the others." Qiao Renzhou said sharply.

When Su Chen appeared, he was not necessarily a match for the two ancestors of the Luo Family. He lost the contest and lost his life. Hong Ming and others were dealt with by the Luo Family.

Even if Su Chen didn't show up, he would also lose the game, and Hong Ming and others would still be dealt with by Luo.

But compared to the former, at least Su Chen survived. As long as he survived, there was hope.

Qiao Qiliang quickly figured it out and frowned: "Then what should we do?"

"The only solution for now is to send Hong Ming and others away." Qiao Renzhou gave advice.

Qiao Qiliang's brows tightened: "But if you do this, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"

They can think of it, and Luo Shi can also think of it, and they will definitely not let Hong Ming and others go easily.

Moreover, it is not that simple to take Hong Ming and others away under the noses of hundreds of Luo clan warriors outside the city lord's palace.

I'm afraid they will send people to chase them as soon as they notice the trouble.

What is the difference between this kind of behavior and playing with fire and burning yourself?

"I didn't plan to tell you originally, but now..."

Qiao Qiliang: "...!"

Dad, how many things are you hiding from me?

But this time it was not a big deal. Qiao Renzhou told him that there was a secret passage in the city lord's palace that led directly to the outside of the city.

"Dad, why didn't you say something like this earlier?" Qiao Qiliang was speechless.

Qiao Renzhou glared at him: "How could such a thing be said so early? And this is also a last resort. How could you reveal it to others so easily until the last moment?"

This is true.

Qiao Qiliang just complained casually, but he actually agreed with Qiao Renzhou in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Then where should we send Master Hong and the others?"

"Imperial City!" Qiao Renzhou whispered two words.

…

Qianfu.

Qian Ruyuan took a sip of tea, but his eyes fell on Qian Xingyue who was checking Su Chen's information.

He asked with confusion: "Xingyue, my father is confused, why do you want to help Su Chen?"

Based on his understanding of Qian Xingyue, he never did anything without a purpose. This unusual behavior must have been on her mind.

Sure enough, Qian Xingyue raised his head and replied: "I just want to see if he will come back knowing that he will die."

After a pause, he added: "Besides, didn't you want to recommend him to me? It's a good way to see his character. Although I don't care who my future husband is, at least I don't He must be an ungrateful person, right?”

Hearing this, Qian Ruyuan smiled bitterly: "What if he loses the martial arts competition and is killed by the ancestor of the Luo family?"

"Only a strong man is worthy of being my husband." Qian Xingyue raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

After Su Chen killed the Luo clan leader and the Luo clan ancestor came out of seclusion, the entire Dafeng City was boiling with Su Chen again.

In the past three days, 90% of the warriors in the five cities of Dafeng were attracted by the upcoming martial arts competition between Su Chen and the ancestor of the Luo family.

It is no exaggeration to say that on the streets, anyone who knows how to do martial arts is basically discussing this matter.

Even if the attention on this matter does not reach the level where everyone is aware of it, it has become a household name.

But even amid the heated discussion, no one still knows where the other protagonist in this competition is.

at the same time.

There is another thing that also attracts attention.

That was the Donglin Banquet hosted by the Palace Master.

In addition to many forces from the Five Cities of Dafeng, there are also many major forces such as Yuanfucheng and Donglin Five States.

Any force that is qualified to participate in the Donglin Banquet must at least have Tongmai warriors in charge.

The Donglin Banquet was held at Mingyue Villa outside Dafeng City.

"Liang Qingsong, the head of the Liang clan, has arrived."

"Chu Jingtian, the leader of the Chu clan, has arrived."

"Yun Pengju, the leader of the Yun clan, has arrived."

"Old Luo Zhengting of the Luo clan has arrived."

"..."

Just after three o'clock, the four major clans arrived one after another.

Unlike the other three major clans, the name of the ancestor of the Luo clan was mixed in, which inevitably made everyone present feel a bit weird.

But this is normal. The recent martial arts competition between Luo Shi and Su Chen has caused a lot of fuss.

Even people who came from other states had heard about it and were even vaguely looking forward to witnessing this competition.

Especially those of the younger generation, they are eager to fight before the life and death contest between the two sides.

There is no proof for what they say, but they really want to see how strong the so-called number one among the younger generation in Donglin Mansion is.

The ancestor of the Luo clan did not pay attention to everyone's gazes. The Luo clan had already threatened that he would not establish a clan leader until Su Chen was killed.

But there is no clan leader for two or three days. Luo can wait and can afford to wait!

With the entrance of all the major clans, the entire Donglin Banquet officially kicked off.

This banquet, as Qiao Qiliang said, was mainly to discuss two things.

One is the territory division of the five cities of Dafeng.

The second is the distribution of the amount of blood-strengthening pills.

The former only involves the five cities of Dafeng, that is, the city lord's palace and the four major clans and other forces.

The latter involves the entire Donglin Mansion, and there are too many top forces in need of Blood Strengthening Pills and Blood Strengthening Pills.

However, these are all confrontations between the leaders of various forces and have little to do with the younger generation.

It was approaching noon and the place was already full of guests.

In addition to the clan leaders and sect leaders, the various forces that came here also had many young people.

The entire banquet was also clearly divided into three groups.

A group of big shots gathered powerful people from all walks of life in Donglin Mansion.

The younger generation group is divided into two factions, men and women working in their own camps.

One faction is a men's group headed by the palace lord's legitimate son, Yun Haoran, Liang Qingping and other top clans.

One faction is a women's group headed by top clans such as Qian Xingyue and Qian Mingyue.

In the back garden.

Qian Mingyue and Qian Xingyue are taking a walk in the lake.

"Sister, today is the time for you to choose your husband. It would be a good idea for you not to go meet those young masters. Instead, you take your sister and me here to do nothing."

Qian Mingyue smiled, she had been through this scene many times, and now even though she was a woman, she could guess what Qian Xingyue was thinking.

"Haha, sister, they may not want to see me now." Qian Xingyue smiled narrowly.

"Oh?" These words made Qian Mingyue a little confused, but he quickly came back to his senses, "Are you talking about Su Chen?"

Qian Mingyue couldn't help but feel dumb when she thought of the names that had recently been mentioned by her friends.

"Oh, they really don't understand the style. They obviously have a beauty like my sister here, but they open and close their mouths to discuss this person. They insist on competing with this person, and even compete with him. Seriously... …”

Speaking of this, Qian Mingyue covered her face and smiled.

Who would have thought that the name Su Chen would cause such a sensation among the heirs of these top forces.

Not only did they neglect Qian Xingyue a bit, but they also engaged in a different kind of 'jealousy'.

Qian Mingyue's beautiful eyes were smiling, and she asked hesitantly: "Sister, are you thinking about this person?"

Seeing that Qian Xingyue didn't speak, Qian Mingyue's heart tightened, and then she smiled and said: "But this person is extremely talented, so he is not worthy of my sister."

"Sister Mingyue, you should know that I have always admired the strong. If you want to be my husband, you must be at least stronger than my father!" Qian Xingyue pursed her lips.

"Not many can meet such requirements." Qian Mingyue chuckled.

The two of them walked and unknowingly arrived at another courtyard.

"Chu Yi, you have just moved to the four realms of blood. If you go to compete with Su Chen, wouldn't you be humiliating yourself?"

A slightly mocking voice sounded.

The man named Chu Yi counterattacked without any politeness: "Yun Haoran, you are not Su Chen's opponent, but it doesn't mean that I am not."

"Haha, Chu Yi, to be honest, I'm one step ahead of you. I broke through the fifth realm three days ago." The handsome young man in white said with a smile. This person was Yun Haoran, standing among a group of warriors. Among them, it stands out from the crowd.

"So what if we break through? Su Chen has killed even the Pulse Warrior. Even if you join forces, you are no match for him."

At this time, another voice sounded, which raised eyebrows. This was not the first time he defended Su Chen.

When Yun Haoran and Chu Yi heard this, they both looked at the man in gray.

Yun Haoran's eyes were filled with anger: "Whether I am Su Chen's opponent or not, you don't need to say anything."

Chu Yi followed up and asked: "Liang Qingping, I want to know why you repeatedly speak up for this brat."

Liang Qingping smiled and said: "I cherish talents."

"Humph, it's just a dead man!" Yun Haoran said coldly.

The atmosphere became a bit solemn because of Su Chen, but it was quickly broken.

"Miss Xingyue is here."

Qian Xingyue was spotted by everyone before she even got close, and everyone's attention was quickly attracted to her.

Today, Qian Xingyue is wearing a red dress, showing off her exquisite figure to the fullest.

The sun shines on her beautiful face, making her every smile intoxicating.

"I heard you are all talking about Su Chen. Why, do you want to compete with him?" Qian Xingyue glanced at everyone.

"I do have this idea." Yun Haoran smiled lightly, showing his style.

"I always hear everyone talking about how powerful this person is, which inevitably makes me curious. Besides, we are all martial arts practitioners. When we meet such a master, we feel itchy. It would be better if we can compete with him." Chu Yi also said.

Then, everyone said something to each other.

When everyone calmed down, Qian Xingyue said with a smile: "That's what I meant. If you don't mind, you can follow me to Fengbei City."

"good!"

…

Different from the bustle of Mingyue Villa, the bustle of Qiao Mansion is a bit depressing.

The sky above Qiao Mansion seemed to be shrouded by a dark cloud, which made everyone in Qiao Mansion breathless.

The time agreed upon by both parties for the contest was three quarters past noon, and now it was less than an hour before the contest started.

However, the people from the Luo family had already set up an arena in front of the Qiao Mansion, laid out a dragnet, and were waiting for Su Chen to appear.

There were two parties standing around the ring, one was Qiao Fu and the other was Luo.

The Luo clan was so powerful this time that they brought a group of warriors that not only overwhelmed the Qiao Mansion in terms of numbers, but also in terms of strength.

Especially the fact that the person leading the team was Luo Zhengxun, one of the ancestors of the Luo family, created an invisible and huge pressure in the hearts of Qiao Renzhou and others.

These pressures did not move Qiao Qiliang too much. What made him grit his teeth was the fact that Hong Ming and his party were held hostage by Luo's disciples.

Two days ago, Qiao Qiliang took care of everything. As long as Hong Ming and others left the boundary of Qinzhou, Qiao Yiyi's people would be there to pick them up.

After making a foolproof plan, Qiao Renzhou and Qiao Qiliang secretly sent Hong Ming and others out of the city that night.

The two thought that their plan to escape Fengbei City and head to the Imperial City through a secret passage was perfect, but who would have thought that Luo would succeed in the end.

He actually intercepted Hong Ming and others midway.

Early this morning, Luo sent people to build a ring, but neither Qiao Renzhou nor Qiao Qiliang took it seriously.

Unexpectedly, after the arena was set up, Luo brought Hong Ming and others out, showing off arrogantly and full of ridicule.

If Qiao Renzhou hadn't stopped him, Qiao Qiliang would probably have taken action.

The arrest of Hong Ming and others completely disrupted their plans. At this moment, they could only leave the choice to Su Chen.

"coming?"

Time passed bit by bit, and everyone suddenly heard the sound of footsteps not far away. They followed the sound and saw Qian Xingyue and his party walking slowly.

"I'll meet Mr. Luo later."

Everyone stopped and cupped their hands towards Luo Zhengxun.

Luo Zhengxun nodded: "You're welcome."

Qian Xingyue looked around, and when his eyes fell on Hong Ming and the others, he couldn't help but pause.

"Mr. Luo, in addition to watching the battle, I have an unkind invitation."

Before Luo Zhengxun asked, Yun Haoran took the initiative to reveal his purpose.

Luo Zhengxun asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"

Not to be outdone, Chu Yi took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone says that Su Chen is the number one warrior under Tongmai. We hope Mr. Luo will give us a chance to fight against Su Chen."

As if afraid of Luo Zhengxun's rejection, Yun Haoran added: "Let us compete with Su Chen first, it won't take too long, and then this person will be at Mr. Luo's disposal."

When Luo Zhengxun heard this, he was silent for a while and then agreed: "Okay,"

After a pause, he chuckled and said, "But I'm afraid you may be disappointed. This person may not have the courage to come."

"Doesn't that mean that this person is really a rat?" Yun Haoran disagreed.

"hehe."

At this time, a voice that was neither salty nor bland sounded, which seemed extremely abrupt.

Yun Haoran frowned and said displeasedly: "Qiao Qiliang, why are you laughing?"

"Haha, it's nothing." Qiao Qiliang replied with a sneer.

Hearing his sinister sneer, everyone showed displeasure.

"snort."

However, due to Luo Zhengxun and Qian Xingyue, everyone just snorted and chose to ignore each other.

It's getting closer and closer to the start of the competition.

The expressions on everyone's faces also seemed to be getting more and more expectant.

Luo Zhengxun closed his eyes and rested, counting down the countdown to Su Chen's death in his mind.

Qiao Renzhou and Qiao Qiliang's eyebrows were knitted into lines. They had mixed emotions. They both hoped that Su Chen would appear, but also hoped that Su Chen would not appear.

Qiao Qiliang sighed and looked far away, landing on Hong Ming and others who were tied up.

After not seeing each other for two days, several people were injured, their faces were extremely haggard, and they felt tired all over their bodies, but their eyes were extremely bright.

Whether it is Hong Ming, Tie Rang, Fang Youwei, Zhang Hong, Hong Chen, or Fang Rou, Zhang Waner, or Qin Xue, they all have a look of perseverance on their faces.

From their eyes, Qiao Qiliang understood their thoughts.

Even they didn't want Su Chen to show up, and everyone was determined.

"Time is up."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Qiao Qiliang's thoughts. He looked up at the sundial and his expression changed.

"Luo Zhengxun, you see clearly, there is still a quarter to go until three-quarter noon." Qiao Qiliang reminded coldly.

"I've arrived as I said." However, Luo Zhengxun's cold words responded to him.

Hearing this, Qiao Qiliang was furious.

Qiao Renzhou said at the right time: "There are descendants of various forces here, Luo Zhengxun, you are really good at telling lies."

"Qiao Renzhou, the method of provoking generals is useless to me. When three-quarters noon comes, I don't know whether Su Chen will die or not, but they will definitely die!"

With that said, Luo Zhengxun pointed at Hong Ming and others not far away.

After hearing this, the Luo disciples on the side put their knives on the necks of Hong Ming and others, their eyes full of coldness.

Qiao Qiliang's face instantly turned ugly.

Seeing this, Luo Zhengxun smiled contemptuously: "Qiao Qiliang, even if I give him an extra quarter of an hour, so what? Do you really think Su Chen will show up?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the sky and continued: "Speaking of which, I hope he will appear more than you do, but now it seems that this is just your wishful thinking."

The words were sharp and every word was like a knife, but they could not shake the hearts of Qiao Qiliang and others.

His eyes fell on Hong Ming and the others, seeming to laugh at their foolish trust.

Then it fell on Qiao Qiliang, and he laughed even more.

"Do you believe it or not, even if I kill them all, Su Chen, a cowardly person like Su Chen, wouldn't dare to show up?"

Suddenly, a roar resounded from the sky.

"Tell me your damn bitch, who said I won't show up?"

Accompanied by the sound of rolling thunder, a thin and tall figure suddenly came from a distance, taking three steps and two steps at a time, and arrived in the blink of an eye.

Then, like a swallow, it slid down lightly and landed on the ring.

tread.

The arena shook violently, and a dull voice sounded, falling on everyone's hearts, making everyone tremble.

"Are you Su Chen?"

Luo Zhengxun's cloudy eyes sparkled, and he stood up suddenly, staring at 'Su Chen' with burning eyes.

"Yes, old man, I am Su Chen, and I am here to take your life!"

'Su Chen' stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes lowered, and said scornfully with a sense of arrogance.

Hearing Su Chen's shameless words, the audience burst into discussion. Who would have thought that Su Chen would actually dare to die!

"Hmph, so arrogant!" Luo Zhengxun's eyelids twitched and he said in a condensed voice, with unconcealed murderous intent flowing in his voice.

"Labour and management are born arrogant, what can you do to me?" 'Su Chen' showed his domineering attitude.

"You sharp-tongued boy, I hope you can still smile later!" Luo Zhengxun said sullenly.

At this time, Qiao Qiliang reminded: "Su Chen, Master Hong was caught by this old guy."

'Su Chen' nodded when he heard this, then looked at Hong Ming and others, giving them a relaxing look.

Then, 'Su Chen' shouted loudly: "Old man, if you dare to arrest my master and the others, why don't you get up here and die!"
