The drill ground of the Heaven Sword Martial Club had been specially repaired. The pit in the underground palace that Li Mu made before had been filled, and the drill ground was connected together. On the No. 6 drill ground in the center, a stone platform more than 20 meters high was built, which was the arena where the two Great Masters fought today.
On the east side of the arena, there was a viewing platform, which was prepared for all the big shots.
In addition, the three directions of the west, south, and north were all open spaces without seats, so the people who came to watch the battle could only stand and watch.
The entire field was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The Heaven Sword Martial Club did try its best to make the scene bigger.
The bigger the scene was, the more people would be shocked when the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being showed his power.
The crowd squeezed toward the drill ground.
In less than an hour, the drill ground that could accommodate tens of thousands of people had been completely crowded, and people were everywhere.
There was still less than an hour before the battle began.
Of course, the main character would not go on the stage at this time.
Countless people looked at the arena, and they couldn't wait.
The people who came to watch the battle were from various sects, gangs, boxing clubs, martial arts clubs, Taoist rites, chambers of commerce, rogue cultivators, and so on. Basically, they were in groups of three to five, and some people even wore the same uniform and held up the flags, on which the names of their forces were written.
The ones closest to the arena, of course, were the most powerful gangs.
All kinds of strange people appeared. There was a white-haired old man, a hunchbacked old woman, a monk, a Taoist priest, a little nun, and a cute little girl. Some were riding on a big black bird, some were leading a donkey, some were standing on a tiger's back, and there was even a python following behind him …
In contrast, those flame warriors of the Heaven Sword Martial Club who led flame tigers to and fro to maintain the order seemed much more normal.
"The Heaven Sword Martial Club is really ambitious. Aren't they afraid that the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being will lose face all at once?"
"The Heaven-Sword Celestial Being is a veteran Great Master, who became famous decades ago. He has been cultivating in seclusion for so many years, so I don't know what realm his strength has reached. I'm afraid he has cultivated the Natural qi. If that's the case, Li Mu can't withstand the power of the Heaven-Sword Mountain's sword."
"Not necessarily. I think Li Mu also has a good chance of winning. Think about it, he is so young, but he directly entered the Great Master Realm. He must have a unique blessing, and there must be a master behind him …"
"But age is always a shortcoming."
"That's right. He's young, so he lacks experience. What has Li Mu experienced? Heaven-Sword Celestial Being is a man who has gone through mountains of knives and seas of fire. "
There were all kinds of discussions everywhere in the square.
Over the past few days, all the major gambling houses in Chang 'an had made their bets and offered the odds as to which of the two Great Masters would win. Comparatively speaking, all parties were more optimistic about the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being and generally believed that the duel would have a forty to sixty chance or even a thirty to seventy chance.
In the crowd, more than a dozen young men and women from the Fengming Academy were sitting in the front.
The high-level officials of the academy naturally went directly to the viewing platform. They were just a few young disciples of the Fengming Academy. Therefore, they could get a relatively excellent position in the place closest to the fighting ring under the banner of the Fengming Academy.
The girl named Lei Yinyin, who was only fifteen years old this year, was young, beautiful, and extremely lively. She was chattering with her companions. Different from most of the students of the Fengming Academy, Lei Yinyin was a firm admirer of Li Mu, even if the relationship between the Fengming Academy and Li Mu was not harmonious.
"Today, Great Master Li Mu will win," Lei Yinyin said confidently.
Her companions next to her were so scared that they hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense. This is the home field of the Heaven Sword Martial Club," a senior warned.
Lei Yinyin's smooth face was full of unwillingness and dissatisfaction, and she said, "What are you afraid of? For example, there will definitely be a winner, and no one can guess. The Heaven-Sword Celestial Being is really shameless to bully the weak. But I think that Great Master Li Mu will definitely win, because his poems are so good."
"Puff … Little Yinyin, where is your logic? A good poem doesn't necessarily mean that he will win in the martial arts competition. It is not a competition of poems." A female companion retorted with a smile.
Lei Yinyin, who was infatuated with Li Mu, took it for granted and said, "So what? Great Master Li Mu is more handsome. "
"What are these reasons?" Her companions were speechless.
"Humph, anyway, I think so." Lei Yinyin had obviously become the most qualified die-hard fan of Li Mu.
In order to prove her words, she simply patted a strange young man next to her and said, "Brother, do you think what I said makes sense?"
The young man, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, was followed by a black chrysanthemum leopard with one blind eye. After hearing the words, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, appearance is justice, appearance is strength. Great Master Li Mu's appearance is definitely better than that old ghost Heaven-Sword Celestial Being, so he will definitely win."
Lei Yinyin was overjoyed, as if she had met a bosom friend, and said, "Brother, what you said is so good, so right … Hey, does appearance mean appearance? Have you seen Great Master Li Mu? "
The young man said mysteriously, "Of course I have seen him. Although I just glanced at him from a distance, I have been shocked by the demeanor of Great Master Li Mu. He is the most handsome and promising young man I have ever seen in my life. He is handsome and elegant, and his temperament is out of this world, just like a god descending to the world. He is absolutely the most perfect handsome man in the world, and no one can compare with him."
"Wow, really? Really?" Lei Yinyin jumped up excitedly, "I said that Great Master Li Mu is good at both pen and sword, and he is absolutely a perfect person, but they still don't believe it." Speaking of this, the girl proudly provoked her companions, "Look, someone has proved what I said. Now, you should believe it."
Several other young male and female students looked at Lei Yinyin and the young man as if they were looking at idiots.
The two die-hard fans met each other.
Lei Yinyin excitedly pulled the young man to discuss the deeds of Great Master Li Mu.
And the young man seemed to know Li Mu very well. All kinds of gossip came out, and many exclusive secrets about Li Mu were told one by one, so Lei Yinyin firmly believed that this young man was absolutely a fanatical admirer of Great Master Li Mu, just like herself.
In the young man's mouth, Great Master Li Mu was synonymous with perfection.
"To be honest, I can't believe that there is such a flawless person like Great Master Li Mu in the world." The young man concluded.
At this time, the appointed time of the battle was coming.
On the east viewing platform, the big shots from all sides had already taken their seats.
Among them was Zhang Chengfeng, the contemporary owner of the Heaven Sword Martial Club, the Heaven-breaking Legend Sword.
Of course, he was not the most important guest on the viewing platform.
Because to countless people's surprise, the actual ruler of Chang 'an, the magistrate of Chang' an, also showed up. The guards of the sub-government offices in the east, south, west, and north districts, as well as most of the super-class masters in the Master Realm in the government also appeared on the viewing platform. Zhou Yiling, who was defeated by Li Mu that day, was also among them.
In addition, the masters of various large sects and gangs in Chang 'an City, the famous rich businessmen, and some powerful rogue cultivators, such as Feng Fanghua, the dean of the Fengming Academy, Tie Zhan, the dean of the Hanshan Academy, and Zhou Dedao, the president of the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce, were also among them.
The Formidable General Ning Rushan, who rarely participated in such occasions, also appeared on the viewing platform.
Beside the old general stood a pair of young men. The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked simple and honest, while the woman was as pretty as snow. They were Ning Jing and Dong Xue, the concubine's son of the Ning Mansion. This was the first time they followed Ning Rushan to attend a public event. In addition, they were worried about Li Mu, so they both looked nervous.
In the blink of an eye, it was less than 10 minutes before the start of the martial arts competition.
"Why hasn't he come yet?"
"It's about to start."
"Where's the main character?"
Gradually, the surrounding crowd began to become impatient.
On the viewing platform, some of the distinguished guests also had strange expressions on their faces.
"What's going on?"
"The martial arts competition is about to start, but the two fighting sides did not show up. Has there been an accident?" "Or do they have to wait until the last moment to show up?"
Some people looked at the Heaven-breaking Legend Sword, Zhang Chengfeng.
"My grandfather will come out soon." Zhang Chengfeng looked confident and said, "But, I don't know whether that young Great Master has fled without fighting."
The magistrate of the prefecture looked indifferent and sat quietly without any expression.
Zheng Cunjian stood behind him.
In the blink of an eye, according to the agreed time, it was less than 20 breaths.
"Swoosh!"
A streak of dazzling sword light burst out from the back house of the Heaven Sword Martial Club. The phantom of a giant sword visible to the naked eye pierced the sky. Even those who knew nothing about martial arts could clearly feel that at this moment, a stream of unstoppable and terrifying aura instantly covered the entire area of the Heaven Sword Martial Club, making people's hearts palpitate.
The light red sword phantom was several hundred meters long and more than ten meters wide. It was like a divine pagoda, illusory and real at the same time. It had an indescribable might, as if all the Gods and Buddhas in the heavens would be reduced to dust by this sword.
The Heaven Sword!
In a flash, the phantom of the giant sword shrank and turned into a mass of red light. In a flash, it instantly came to the top of the fighting ring.
Everyone felt their vision blur.
On the fighting ring, there was one more person.
An old man.
His figure was tall and sturdy like a lion, his frame was broad, his complexion was rosy, and he was taller than an ordinary person. He had crimson long hair, crimson eyebrows, and crimson beard, and he wore a blazing armor. In his hand was an unsharpened quadrangular oddly shaped longsword, and he stood on the arena like a ball of blazing flame, overbearing and blazing to the extreme.
He was the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being.
After 20 years, when he appeared in front of the public again, he was still domineering.
The surrounding people could not help but exclaim.
Those who were slightly weaker even dared not to look directly at the domineering old man, because their eyes would feel a burning pain. If they stared at him, they might even go blind.
It was incredible that a person's momentum and energy had been so strong.
Many of the older generation were shocked to see the Heaven-Sword Celestial Being on the stage. To their dismay, they found that this freak, who had been in charge of a region for many years and killed countless famous experts, had improved his strength to another level, and he looked younger. "Is this guy a monster? How can he become younger and younger?"
"Where is Li Mu? Show up and fight."
