When Liu Yang's head fell into the puddles and rolled to the edge of the arena, the torrential rain stopped and the thunder stopped.
Chen Qin, who had been scared out of his wits, subconsciously raised his head. The suffocating thunderclouds had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never been there.
What replaced them was the bright summer sun. It was so hot that it made people's hearts jump and tremble.
Xie Tian looked at the blazing sun and found that his vision was very blurry. He lowered his head and looked around, but it was still very blurry. For example, what was that black thing at the edge of the arena?
He wanted to prop up his broken body to take a closer look. As if sensing his thoughts, one of the eighteen lines in his body moved. His right hand moved in the puddle of water. Layers of ripples spread out, and he pushed the black thing at the edge of the ring.
Rumble …
Liu Yang's head fell into the arena and rolled a few times in the puddles, creating rolling thunder that broke the silence of the arena.
Thunder was the sound of heaven. Mortals could not understand it, but everyone understood it at this moment. Liu Yang of the Three Heroes of Bianliang had been killed.
"Xie Tian!"
Liu Xiaoju spat out a mouthful of blood. He kicked with all his strength and charged toward the arena like a mad demon!
"Give me back my son's life!"
Bam!
Elder Gong, who had pushed Liu Xiaoju back, withdrew his right hand and looked at the mad Liu Xiaoju with a complicated expression.
Like everyone else, even Elder Gong, who knew Xie Tian very well, did not believe that Liu Yang could be killed by Xie Tian. But every time this thought came to mind, everyone would subconsciously look at Liu Yang's head, which was dozens of feet away from his body.
He had indeed been killed.
Liu Yang, who was at the second level of Inner Qi, had been killed by Xie Tian, who was at the ninth level of Brute Force.
Xie Tian had broken through the red line.
This was a major event that could shock the entire Wanzhou. But no one who witnessed this scene made a fuss, because there was a kind of shock that could be called speechlessness.
The black-clad monk in the distance, the old eunuch on the judging platform, the Song Kingdom's Emperor Zhao Ye, the Zhou Family's Zhou Boran … these people, who were used to seeing major events, were all speechless. There was only fear and shock in their eyes as they looked at Xie Tian.
It was as if they were witnessing the creation of heaven and earth.
Pa!
"What are you waiting for?!" Boss Jia's face was as red as a cooked prawn. He gave Xiao Ma a tight slap and said excitedly, "I got it! Hurry up and carry Xie Tian back, hahahaha … "
Brother Ma subconsciously ran two steps, then suddenly turned around and asked blankly, "Then, what about you?"
"I'll jump back! Hahahaha … "
Thus, Brother Ma rushed into the frozen arena and timidly went around Elder Gong. He came to Xie Tian's side like a cat and carefully carried Xie Tian on his back. At the same time, he suppressed his fear and said with a flattering smile, "Ancestor, I'm Xiao Ma. We're on the same side, we're on the same side …"
When the old eunuch came back to his senses, he looked away from the arena because Xie Tian was no longer there.
He looked at Daqing Street in the distance. At the other end of Daqing Street, he saw Xie Tian being carried on someone's back and a wretched figure who was hopping on one leg with gold notes in his hands.
He smiled and shook his head. He helped the dazed Emperor onto the dragon carriage and gently tapped Zhao Ye's chest with a finger. Zhao Ye suddenly woke up. Then, the old eunuch's voice rang in the Emperor's ear.
It wasn't until an hour after Xie Tian left that the people in the arena woke up one by one. Still, no one talked. They looked at each other and fainted on the spot. Even on the referee's stand, there were three or four people who fainted.
"The Emperor has an edict. Return to the palace!" The old eunuch screamed. The important figures on the referee's stand quickly knelt to send them off. The old eunuch smiled and said, "Everyone, His Majesty has another edict. Let's enter the palace together to see the Emperor!"
It was already two days later when Xie Tian woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Zhaoyang, whose eyes were red.
"Where's Boss Jia?"
Zhou Zhaoyang was shocked. He didn't expect that the first question Xie Tian asked when he woke up wasn't the result of the competition, but the greedy and wretched ordinary person.
"He bet on you winning. He's crazy. He fainted for two days like you and still hasn't woken up." After saying this, Zhou Zhaoyang quickly lay down beside Xie Tian. He carefully looked at the peerless genius of Song Kingdom. After a while, he asked, "Do you know who you are?"
Xie Tian frowned slightly and answered, "I'm Xie Tian."
"Wrong, wrong, wrong!"
Zhou Zhaoyang suddenly stood up. While pacing, he counted with his fingers and said excitedly, "You're a peerless genius comparable to Xu Zhantang. You're a legendary young man who broke through the unsurpassable line of Inner Qi Realm. You're the only protagonist in Bianliang these days. You're the first commoner's son-in-law since the founding of Song Kingdom …"
"What's a son-in-law?"
Zhou Zhaoyang paused and stared blankly at Xie Tian. Suddenly, he laughed and said, "The man of the Emperor's daughter!"
Xie Tian pondered for a while and asked seriously, "What happened after the competition?"
"Sigh, it's a long story!" Zhou Zhaoyang sighed like a little adult. "That day, when you sent Liu Yang's head flying with a palm strike, his father immediately went crazy. Fortunately, Elder Gong stopped him. Then, everyone entered the palace. The first thing the emperor said after he sat down was to tell the Liu family not to seek revenge against you.
Xie Tian didn't remember having any dealings with the Emperor. He was about to ask when Zhou Zhaoyang continued, "Although the Liu family is powerful, once the Emperor's golden word is spoken, how could he have the guts to go crazy? Moreover, the Emperor's second words were to make you his son-in-law. After the competition, you'll get married immediately. "
At this point, Zhou Zhaoyang smiled slyly. "Did you know that the Emperor wants to betroth his most beloved Princess Qingping to you? Princess Qingping is a famous beauty in Song Kingdom. It's said that if Xu Zhantang didn't have eight wives, he would want to marry Princess Qingping …"
Zhou Zhaoyang's blood was boiling as he spoke, but Xie Tian wasn't interested at all. After Zhou Zhaoyang finished talking, he asked, "How's the competition going these days?"
"You still have the nerve to ask? You fought so well that those people only wanted to see you fight, so the competition had to be interrupted." Zhou Zhaoyang despised Xie Tian's pretentiousness. He rolled his eyes and said, "Now the whole Bianliang City is talking about the Battle of Nine Rains. Ordinary people, Brute Force Realm warriors, and even those Inner Qi Realm warriors are talking about it."
"The Battle of Nine Rains?" Xie Tian was even more confused.
Seeing that Xie Tian didn't look like he was pretending, Zhou Zhaoyang calmed down and explained, "Didn't you use nine moves in the battle with Liu Yang? These nine moves were all in the rain. Rain arrows, rain needles, rain blades … Xie Tian, did you lose your memory?"
Xie Tian shook his head to put Zhou Zhaoyang at ease. Then he praised, "Do you know what people say about the Battle of Nine Rains? It was the most exciting, incredible, and exciting battle in the Jianghu of Song Kingdom in fifty years! Especially you. "
Zhou Zhaoyang suddenly turned to look at Xie Tian. In his eyes, besides deep admiration, there was a little bit of worship that he didn't notice. He clenched his fists and said excitedly, "You used sixteen lotuses to dissolve the rain arrows, passed through the rain needles with a strange body movement, and crushed the rain blades with a tyrannical method … Bianliang City was silent for a whole night because of your uncanny nine moves!"
After listening to Zhou Zhaoyang's explanation, Xie Tian didn't think there was anything special about his moves. Having been trained by West Pirate of the Dark Mist Mountain and River, he was good at making use of the environment. Therefore, he thought using the rain to attack and defend was a normal choice, just like taking off his clothes to reduce the resistance.
Besides, didn't Liu Yang also choose to attack with the rain just like him?
Seeing through Xie Tian's indifference, Zhou Zhaoyang's face suddenly turned red, as if Xie Tian's behavior had insulted him. He suddenly stuck his head in front of Xie Tian and said with wide eyes, "What's with that expression? Disdain? How dare you disdain the Battle of Nine Rains? You … "
"You fought this battle?" Xie Tian raised his eyebrows.
"Uh …" Zhou Zhaoyang staggered back and said resentfully, "Can't we have a normal conversation?"
Seeing Zhou Zhaoyang was quite shocked, Xie Tian voiced out his doubts, which made Zhou Zhaoyang look down on him again.
"What do you know? Liu Yang is in the Inner Qi State. Using Inner Qi to control external objects is like wiping your butt, it's an instinct! You're just a trash in the Brute Force State … Fine, even if you're a peerless genius, "Zhou Zhaoyang jumped back and said word by word," You can't control the rain! "
Xie Tian heard this and shook his head, "There's nothing impossible in this world. If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
"Really?" Zhou Zhaoyang was dumbfounded.
Xie Tian did not say anything. He looked out the door and said with a smile, "Boss Jia is awake. Go out and fetch him."
"You want me, the great Young Master Zhou, to fetch that money grubber? I'll be your servant for the next few days. You can order me around however you want."
Zhou Zhaoyang suppressed his excitement and slipped out of the house. Just as he was about to call Boss Jia, who was walking like a crab, over, he saw Elder Gong open the door and walk into the yard.
"Gong …"
"Wow, it's you again, you shameless old man!" Boss Jia raised his eyebrows and pointed at Elder Gong, scolding, "What? What? You want to take advantage of me? Let me tell you, we have people and money now! Little Zhou, this stinky guy who made me lose money … "
Seeing Elder Gong's blank expression, Zhou Zhaoyang was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He rushed over and covered Boss Jia's mouth. He turned around and said respectfully, "Xie Tian is inside. Please, please!"
Elder Gong nodded and glanced at Boss Jia in surprise before he left.
"I say, Little Zhou, that's not right …"
Zhou Zhaoyang stared at Boss Jia with a strange expression and asked, "You know who he is?"
"Hmph, there's no one in Bianliang that I don't know!"
Boss Jia put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. He sighed and said, "War Lion Xu Batian, War Wolf Xu Ru Hai, War Tiger … Everyone knows about these three generals, so I won't say much. Today, I'll tell you about Gong Chengan, Elder Gong, who has roamed the Jianghu of Great Song for decades and presided over countless Jianghu justice!"
When he said the word "elder", Boss Jia even cupped his fists towards the north to show his respect. Zhou Zhaoyang rolled his eyes and cursed him for being an idiot. He turned around and left. He finally understood why Xie Tian asked him to come out.
"What the f * ck. How can he curse people at such a young age?" Boss Jia looked at Zhou Zhaoyang's back angrily and murmured, "No wonder he's not as good as Xie Tian. Xie Tian has never cursed anyone before. Hmm, it seems like he always hits people … Eh? Xiao Ma, why did you pee your pants again? "
Inside the house, Elder Gong and Xie Tian looked at each other for a long time. The atmosphere was silent. Neither of them knew what kind of attitude they should use to face each other.
Elder Gong cherished talent, but he hated Xie Tian for choosing the path of killing cultivators. But in the end, he still tried his best to help Xie Tian. Xie Tian was grateful, but he was angry at Elder Gong's self-righteousness. But in front of the two of them, he couldn't bring himself to hate him.
"I have to say, your talent in martial arts and wisdom in battle are the best I've seen in my life." Elder Gong's voice was both gratified and pained.
"There's always someone better."
"How are your injuries?"
"I'll recover tomorrow."
"Don't try to be brave. Your limbs are all broken, and your internal injuries …"
"I have plenty of Primordial Yang."
Elder Gong was silent for a moment. Then, he turned around and walked out of the house.
"People from the palace will come soon. If I were you, I wouldn't continue fighting."
"Elder, you are you, and I am me."
