Chapter 10 Chapter Ten The Strongest Weak

After noon, the clouds above Lakodi became thicker, as if they had been dyed with light ink.The sky and the earth have become dark, and it seems that raindrops may fall at any time. Seeing the bad weather, the vendors closed their stalls and went home one after another, and there were a lot fewer pedestrians on the street.However, there are still many citizens who are planning to watch the Tianlu Martial Arts Competition on the several roads leading to the central square of La Cordie. They are talking about the details of the competition with great interest, and they have no worries about the wind and rain that may come at any time.

However, before they saw the outer wall of the central square, they were stopped by the royal guards guarding these intersections.After interrogating a few words, the guards took them to the courtyards of several larger houses nearby and guarded them without further explanation. The puzzled citizens complained, and the guards who were busy maintaining order did not notice the figure passing by at the corner of the street in the distance. "What happened?" Druma, who had been eliminated, slipped into a hidden alley corner and whispered to himself with his back against the stone wall.

Although the result of the competition has nothing to do with him, Druma still came to watch the semi-finals of the Tianlu Martial Arts Competition scheduled to start in the afternoon.It's also hard for him to explain why, he only knows that Airy who beat him is still in the competition for a moment, and he can't pack his luggage and return home indifferently for a moment. Just now, he caught a glimpse of something wrong in the situation ahead, so he immediately dodged and hid in the corner of the street.Relying on the agility developed from years of martial arts practice, he was not discovered by the guards.Then he evasively followed the guards who escorted the people to here, and found that the royal guards had imprisoned all the people who came to watch the competition, so he couldn't help being very surprised.

Why is the Caymanian army detaining spectators?They are not allowed to go to the central square. Did something happen there?Is not letting them go back to prevent news from leaking? Something extraordinary must be happening in the central square right now! After feeling this, Druma really wanted to sneak in to find out what happened, but the closer he got to the square, the more heavily guarded he was, and he was not good at stealth, if he acted rashly, he would definitely be discovered.In desperation, he could only wander aimlessly outside the safe range, paying full attention to the movements in the direction of the central square.


At this time, in the Golden Crown Hotel where Tianxingmen stayed. Knight's left and right hands - Tang, leaned on the comfortable armchair, took a sip of the fragrant high-quality black tea, then gently put the teacup back into the saucer, picked up the book on his lap and quietly read it, with an expression The indescribable leisure and elegance between the movements. This is what a few knights who were ordered to monitor the Tianxingmen watched for a long time in the building near the hotel.In their view, Tang, who read quietly, was not suspicious or dangerous.The only puzzling thing is that, as Knight's only accompanying disciple, he didn't go to watch the match of his master.But judging from the previous information, since he arrived in Lakodi, he has only stayed in the room every day, so it is not surprising.

But if they saw the contents of the book in Tang's hand, they would not think so. The seemingly ordinary book records all kinds of information about Lakodi, big and small.The dark thread placed here by Tianxingmen disguised the collected Cayman's movement report as a book every day, and took advantage of the timing of tidying up the guest room to deliver it to Knight and Tang's room without any trace. Knight's trip was not for the competition, but aimed at probing the real purpose behind the competition.Therefore, after coming to La Cordie, only Knight went out every day to put on a show, while Tang stayed in the room all day to analyze the information sent by the dark thread.

Tianxingmen is different from ordinary gang organizations, and is inextricably linked with the Teyule dynasty that ruled the Tuskes.In Tuskes there are even rumors that the master of Tianxingmen and the king are brothers.No matter how much truth there is, it is an indisputable fact that there is indeed a tacit understanding between Tianxingmen and the Tiul Dynasty. The rumor that "Tianxingmen has enough power to influence the government in the country of Tuskes" is not groundless.The Tiul Dynasty ruled the bright side, while Tianxingmen was in charge of the dark side, dealing with those things that could not be put on the table and could not be resolved with legal orders.Under the cooperation of the two, Tarsix has become stronger and stronger in recent years.

It is precisely because Tianxingmen is closely related to the Tiulle dynasty, if there is any turmoil in the dynasty, it will have a major impact on it, so Tianxingmen is different from ordinary sects, and maintains a high degree of attention to the situation among the Tianlu countries . After reading the information just sent, Tang closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf, his already somewhat rigid face turned his back to the monitors, showing a more dignified look. From the intelligence point of view, Cayman's actions today are unusual.Although the surface is still calm, there has been a large-scale mobilization of magicians and city defenders in the dark, and the gatekeepers who pretended to be spectators to check the game have not responded, and a large number of troops are guarding near the central square. Unable to sneak into the investigation.

In addition, these sneaky, probing bastards suddenly appeared... Tang seemed to glance out of the window unintentionally, and the watchers quickly retracted their heads. These guys' tracking skills are terrible, but their movements are light, their eyes are bright, and all of them are not weak.Moreover, their beards, hair, and skin are all in good condition. They are probably knights of high status who directly obey the king's orders? With just a few glances at them, Don could notice every detail. "If the jesting sect master is here, he will definitely make fun of me again. His observation skills are even more terrifying than the eyesight of a woman in love when observing her lover!" Thinking of this, a smile swept across his serious, almost indifferent face like a spring breeze. The corner of his mouth, but the lines on his face became cold and hard again.

"It seems that the situation has really changed, and the center of the storm must be in the central square!" Tang quickly grasped the general situation with amazing sensitivity. Thinking of what the door owner had encountered in the central square, he panicked for a moment, but soon calmed down and prepared to take action.
The center of the storm—a temporary calm appeared in the central square.People were shocked by the sudden reality. "It turned out to be the kid who challenged me ten years ago." Demon King Luo Yan's voice broke the stagnant air first. Although the situation was tense, everyone sighed in surprise after realizing Luo Yan's meaning.Although Airy's performance just now made people doubt the true identity of the homeless man, no one thought that this person would be the long-lost legendary figure known for his cool elegance!

However, everyone quickly accepted this reality.After all, even the demon king who was sealed long ago appeared alive before their eyes, so what is impossible?But now that the enemy is at hand, one cannot be too preoccupied with someone's past. But Allie had a different feeling in his heart. The memory that was thought to be dusty was opened again by the hand of fate.Scenes of scenes seem to have happened yesterday.The panic and frustration of ten years ago came to my mind again.Still the powerful demon king, still the powerless self, and Xiu Ya, who became a statue and silently watched all of this behind her—after making a big circle, fate once again placed a similar situation in front of her ten years ago . Only then did Ai Li realize that although he had tried his best to forget that memory in the past ten years, the wound in his heart had never really healed. This scene similar to ten years ago immediately affected the bloody wound, and the pain pierced his heart and lungs. In just a split second, thousands of thoughts flashed through Ai Li's mind, and what caught him in the end was a burning anger. How could the demon king, who was sealed forever ten years ago, appear in front of the world again like this?Was Xiu Ya's death meaningless?That woman who loved life so much, gave up her own life in exchange for just ten years of peace? ! He raised his head slightly, and the statue of Xiu Ya in front of him came into view, with a gentle expression that seemed to be expressing endless sadness and unwillingness.Murderousness and rage gradually replaced Airi's usual gentleness and laziness, distorting his face almost ferociously. The huge shock and anger caused him to lose his usual extraordinary self-control. He just wanted to eliminate the source of his pain in front of him—the demon king Luo Yan.With a roar, he leapt forward and rushed towards Luo Yanji, and the Sky Splitting Sword attacked the cold-faced Demon King like a storm.Even the top experts in Tianlu beside him, none of them could see his sword style clearly. This is what Luosha saw when she ran back to the square. She stopped in doubt and swallowed the words that came to her lips.At a loss for what to do with the absolutely balanced Rainbow Barrier, and worried about Airi's safety, she simply ran back to ask for help.Subconsciously, she believed that Ai Li would have a solution, but now the Ai Li she saw was no longer the gentle uncle she was familiar with. Airi attacked a man with ice-blue long hair and blood-red eyes like a mad tiger.This person is the mysterious and terrible nothing. At this time, Ai Li seemed to be a different person, with an aggressive aura, a nimble figure, and a cold, cold look in his eyes, revealing a killing intent like an unsheathed sword.Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, Luosha felt uneasy.But she immediately put aside this feeling of no reason and threw herself into the battle. Contrary to Airi's whirlwind-like swift movement, Wu's movement is simple, seemingly without mystery, and his movements are very harmonious. All of Airi's perfect attacks are easily blocked by him, just like how Even strong winds cannot shake the majestic mountains.But the sword in his right hand and the magic he casts can easily break through Airi's defense.Only from this point of view, the superiority has been judged.Luosha saw the situation clearly, and frowned worriedly. Luosha seldom had contact with actual combat, and she could only see these things. In the eyes of other spectator experts, the battle situation could be described as more than thrilling!Suppressed exclamations resounded among them from time to time. Often Luo Yan's attack breaks through Ai Li's defense, everyone sees it, and can't help but sweat for Ai Li, but Ai Li can turn his body around in seemingly impossible situations, making Luo Yan feel helpless. It can cause minor wounds on him, or even take the opportunity to fight back.However, although Ai Li's counterattack was enough to cut mountains and rocks, it did not pose much danger to Luo Yan, and even if it caused damage, it would recover quickly.On the one hand, everyone felt that Ai Li really had extraordinary strength, and on the other hand, they realized Luo Yan's strength even more. The cultivation of these two people is beyond the reach of those present, and the quick and changing movements in the fight leave no room for the masters who want to step forward to help.Although there are more people on Ai Li's side, the situation has become that only Ai Li fights against Luo Yan. Naturally, the hand-to-hand close combat has little effect on Luo Yan, but it is extremely dangerous to Ai Li.Luo Yan didn't care about Ai Li's storm-like swordsmanship, and easily eliminated the fierce killing move invisible.He seems to be able to use all the power between heaven and earth at will, as if with a thought, he formed a wind shield and water curtain to block Airy's thunderous blow.No matter how powerful the ultimate move is, if it cannot fall on the opponent, what threat is there?What's more, no matter how terrible the injury the opponent suffered, he could recover in a moment.However, Luo Yan's magical attack on Ai Li was real. For a moment, Ai Li's movement was light and fantastic, and his body was covered with large and small wounds. The blood was splashed and bloomed on the ground like flowers. How long has it been supported. Seeing such a fierce and vicious fight, the other people on the sidelines couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts, thinking that it was him who was fighting the devil king, so he must not dare to love fighting in such a battle where he was at an absolute disadvantage.However, Ai Li still had no intention of retreating after suffering such a serious injury. In the fierce battle, the aftermath of countless sword qi, palm strength, and magic flew in all directions, and its powerful power shocked all the experts nearby!Not only can they not intervene, but they have to dodge with all their strength.Thanks to Knight's care, Rosa was not seriously injured. After a while, every step that Ai Li and Luo Yan took was like stepping into a pile of flour, leaving extremely deep footprints on the masonry ground!It turned out that when the two were fighting, their energy expanded and surged outwards, and they secretly crushed the surrounding bricks into powder. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although Ai Li's skill is far above everyone else, Ai Li has no chance of winning this battle. Unless he retreats by himself, the battle can only continue and end with Ai Li's death.This is a tragic ending that no one wants to see. Knight's face is also cloudy and uncertain.In addition to worrying about Airy's battle situation, the great changes that took place in this short morning also had a huge impact on him. It is undeniable that he originally viewed Airi with a condescending attitude.Ever since he found this strange tramp in La Cody, he has only regarded Airi as an opponent who can bring him a little mystery and fun, and he doesn't really think that the opponent is strong enough to be equal to him.However, now it seems that his own martial arts are more than inferior to Ai Li's martial arts.And this devil who appeared suddenly made him feel that he was just a frog in a well. However, as the leader of Tianxingmen, Knight is not as obsessed with martial arts skills as ordinary martial arts masters, and being invincible in the contest with hostile forces also proves that he has extraordinary strength Eyesight and calm brain.Leaving aside the battle situation in front of him, what worried him even more was: Since the King of Cayman had made it clear to kill the masters from all over the world this time, how could he let their disciples go?Since the purpose of holding the Martial Arts Competition is to gather talents, use them if they can be used, and destroy them if they are not used, naturally they will not let go of the disciples brought by the participants. At this time, there were already several deep wounds on Airi's body that were bleeding, and one could imagine the severe pain he would cause every time he moved, but he didn't seem to care about it, completely ignoring the physical pain and pressure, Frantically attacking the enemy in front of him.There is only one thought in his mind, that is to kill the enemy in front of him! It is also thanks to this crazy and tenacious will that Ai Li has played at an extraordinary level, and he has been able to fight Luo Yan single-handedly and persist until now.It is also this will that makes Ai Li ignore the difference in strength between the two sides, and does not know how to retreat, although it will lead him to death in the end! At this moment, Knight suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a clear whistle.This whistling sound with a peculiar rhythm was high-pitched but not harsh, and it contained abundant real power, and it spread far and wide.
Druma, who was hovering outside the area blocked by the royal guards, looked towards the square suspiciously when he heard the whistle. In the Golden Coronet Hotel, Tang, who was about to take action, stopped and listened to the whistling sound.After pondering for a moment, he walked out of the room.The guarding knights didn't care to think about the howl just now, and hurriedly followed.I saw Tang Shi ran to the lounge in the lobby on the first floor, ordered a glass of wine, sat alone and finished drinking, then went back to the upstairs room. Although the knights felt that his actions were a bit abrupt, they didn't see him in contact with anyone, and there was nothing special about him, so they followed him in doubt.None of them noticed that Don had carved small letters on the underside of the table between drinks. The howling sound was clearly heard by people in the whole city.Many people went out to check what happened, and asked each other in surprise, a small ripple finally appeared on Lakodi's calm surface. At this time, no one knows that this small commotion is just the prelude to the turmoil that will come this day.
The whistling sound hit his ears, and Airi was shocked, and his mind, which was on the verge of madness, suddenly became clearer. The fight with Luo Yan did not dare to relax a little, but it was only now that Ai Li noticed people other than the Demon King again. Surrounded by more than a dozen figures, they should be the masters of the competition. The warm stream from the wound on the head seeped into the eyes, blurring their faces and casting a red layer on what Allie saw.He blinked, and the red faded a bit. His eyes fell on Rosa who was beside Knight.Seeing several bright red wounds on her slender arms and calves, Airi finally realized that half of them were self-inflicted.Despite Knight's care, she was still injured a lot by the sword energy flying across the battle, but the stubborn girl held back her tears and refused to leave.And the people around knew that they were no match for Luo Yan, but they didn't want to abandon themselves and run away. Once he is defeated, these people will soon lose their lives if they are no match for Luo Yan, but if they seize the opportunity to escape here, they still have a chance.But they cared about themselves, and none of them escaped.But once again, I was swayed by that memory, and I put these living people in danger for the sake of those who have passed away! The price of being unable to control oneself at a critical moment will be the lives of these people!Do I want to implicate others like I did ten years ago? What the hell am I doing?After ten years of honing, the heart is still as fragile as before... Am I still a weakling? ! Suddenly, several sounds of peeling earth and rocks interrupted Ai Li's self-blame, and countless cracks appeared on the huge Xiuya stone carving.During the moment of fierce fighting between Ai Li and Luo Yan under the statue just now, a lot of turbulent true power and radiant sword energy magic fell on the statue, and the statue was destroyed without a sound, and it was finally broken. Living. When Ai Li saw this, he didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't care about the fierce battle with Luo Yan, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, step back!" He jumped on his toes and rushed towards Luo Sha who was bewildered, and turned his entire vest to Luo Yan. inflammation!Luo Yan was not a human being at all, and he had no rules or morals at all, the Mozhen Sword suddenly flashed with lightning, the blade stretched several feet, and a dazzling ball condensed on the tip of the sword, which gradually grew from small to large.Just as the ball of light was about to be shot at Airi's vest, Xiu Ya's statue finally shattered and collapsed, and countless large and small gravels smashed their heads and faces to the people on the ground. Luosha, who was stunned by this sudden change, stood stupidly unable to move a finger. Except for vision, all senses seemed to disappear, and the passage of time seemed to slow down. She stared blankly at the huge boulders falling down, stared at Knight and the others dodging the rocks, and stared at Ai Li anxiously rushing towards her.The strange thing is that she didn't panic too much. Instead, she thought that although Airi, who was fighting bloody just now, was cool and handsome, she still liked the bad uncle Airi who was always smiling and a bit cunning.Nice to see him back to normal... Then Allie rushed to her, hugged her and continued to run.Looking over Ai Li's shoulder, she saw that the falling stone was bounced away three feet away, and the sword he was pointing at Ai Li's vest hung down, and the ball of light on the tip of the sword flickered twice before disappearing.But the owner of the sword stood blankly, looking up to the sky at the falling gravel, with an expression that seemed to be crying and laughing, but also seemed extremely lonely. Slowly, Wu's gaze dropped, meeting the girl's gaze. Luosha's eyes were calm and calm, but Wu's expression at this time appeared to be dazed and dazed, the original coldness and bloody murderous aura seemed to have disappeared.And at this moment, the gem on his forehead flashed a red light under the cover of the ice-blue long hair, and a trace of struggle and pain flashed across his face, and he lowered his head sadly.When Wu raised his head again, Wu returned to his original appearance, but even though his fragile expression was just gone for a moment, Luosha looked at him now and felt that he was not as scary as before. A strange feeling of sympathy. It seems that somewhere, this man whom everyone fears is the same as this man who has no special skills—they are all people who have been teased by fate and struggled terribly. Ai Li carried Luo Sha and ran straight to the exit, while shouting to the other experts: "Everyone, rush out now!" Everyone knew that Luo Yan's strength was far from that of Luo Yan, and it was difficult to win even if they worked together, and they had long wanted to retreat. At this time, seeing that Ai Li finally regained his composure and took the initiative to retreat, they all followed. Luo Yan just sneered and was not in a hurry to pursue and stop him.Luosha desperately wanted to say something, but her mouth was blocked by Airie's arm, so she could only make some babbling sounds. After running out of the gate smoothly, everyone was stunned by the scene before them before they had time to rejoice.The people gathered at the door recognized them, and they all calmed down, looked expectantly, and made way for them. Naturally, among the top ten in the Magic Department, there are many people who understand this absolutely balanced rainbow enchantment. When they saw it, their expressions immediately changed. After explaining to the rest of the people, the faces of these people immediately turned livid. Everyone finally understood why the Demon King did not Anxious to catch up, let everyone run out of the square easily.Luosha managed to break free from Airi's arm, and was finally able to speak, "I went back just now to tell you that everyone is trapped by this absolutely balanced rainbow barrier!"
At this time, Lakodi's peace was broken again.Billowing fireworks shot up from various important places in Lakodi at the same time. The army and civilians rushed to fight the fire in the street, and the city was in chaos.Strange noises and unexplained fires appeared one after another, making the citizens faintly uneasy. Listening to the commotion coming from all around, Druma decided to stay near the central square after a moment of hesitation.He had a feeling that the unrest in the city had something to do with what happened in the central square.
All the masters tried to break through the rainbow barrier of absolute balance, but no matter whether it was magic or force attack, it had no effect. It just aroused a burst of brilliant waves and flames on the barrier. Ai Li asked Luosha with a little luck: "It can be poisoned, and of course it can also detoxify. Since you know the name of this ghost thing, you should also know how to crack it?" "No way!" Onima from the Magic Department cut in, unceremoniously broke Airi's delusion, and then added, "It can't be said that there is no way, but this way is impossible for us to do. To break this enchantment, it is useless to attack only with certain types of magic power. It will automatically rebound and restore the original absolute balance of magic power. Therefore, powerful magic power belonging to the same six departments is needed to offset the enchantment and destroy the barrier. It is absolutely balanced. If our magic power is stronger than that of the enchanter, the barrier will be broken." Although Airi was confused by these magic theories, he still asked optimistically: "It doesn't sound like it will be difficult?" Onima suddenly had a feeling for Niu playing the piano, but the other party was a legendary hero after all, so he had to try not to show it on his face.He shook his head dejectedly. "Let's not say that none of us who understand magic here understand the magic of the light system. Look," he pointed to the magicians who were sitting outside the barrier and infusing magic power into the barrier. The higher-level magicians in Cayman have all been mobilized to deal with us, how can a few of us compete against the magic power gathered by these hundreds of magicians?" Rosa looked at the magician outside, her thoughts wandered away.The brother is the chief magician and the president of the magic union. These magicians are all commanded and mobilized by him, right?He used to be a person who would take any injured bird home to heal it. Why did he become like this now?Carry out such a terrible and cruel plan without caring about the lives of so many people? Although the senior brother's temperament has long since changed, Luosha always believes that the senior brother is just covering up his true self with his indifferent words and deeds, and the gentle and kind boy in his memory is still his true inner self.However, the sight in front of her forced her to face up to the fact that Sarastan was the culprit who caused the hundreds of innocent people in the square to fall into danger and panic. Thinking of Sarastan's words and deeds in the morning, Rosa was shocked. "He is aware of today's actions, so his unusually sharp attitude in the morning, is he trying to provoke me to leave this place that will become a battlefield, and he doesn't want me to die here? Brother...do you still have some friendship for me? " A feeling of sadness or joy enveloped her, making her completely forget the danger in front of her.When I came back to my senses, I found that the tears had already flowed down.But the surroundings suddenly fell silent, only to hear Ai Li beside him muttering to himself: "That guy is terribly powerful in six systems of magic! If it is him, he must be able to break this **** barrier." Following his gaze, he saw that the crowd separated automatically in fear, and Wu with a sneer on his lips slowly walked out of it, looking at the crowd like a prey struggling desperately but unable to escape the hunter's snare.
