Lord of the Star Ocean

The star stage martial arts test in Nanyuan City entered its second day, and more people came to the central square to watch this grand event.

Many people came here from the manors and villages outside the city, because the New Year was coming, and according to the custom, they went to the city to buy new year's goods and watch the excitement.

Near the square, the casinos opened by various casinos in the city have expanded in scale. The dealers and clerks are loudly attracting gamblers to join the game. Many gang members who are inextricably related to the casinos are crowded in the crowd, and all kinds of true and false news are spreading everywhere, making the atmosphere of the scene extremely hot.

In yesterday's competition, some participating star fighters were directly eliminated, and the gamblers who bet on them naturally lost their money. However, new bets have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, with higher odds and more ways to play, all of which are attracting gamblers to willingly drain their pockets.

Coincidentally, Nie Feng had just rushed to the central square, before entering the seating area of ​​Xilei, he bumped into Tieshan.

"Brother Nie Feng, are you alright?"

Seeing Nie Feng, Tieshan immediately asked with concern: "What happened last night?"

When Nie Feng returned to the tavern last night, he was drinking with Wei Hongyi and others from the Bai Ling hunting team. When he realized that something was wrong, Nie Feng had already passed out.

At that time, Tieshan almost got into a fight with the warriors guarding the tavern, but Jin Xiangyu stopped it in time, and later sent him to Nie Feng's house to send a message.

So until now, Tieshan was still at a loss, but this did not prevent him from caring about Nie Feng.

Nie Feng patted Tieshan's arm, and said with a smile: "It's okay, there is something wrong with the exercises I practiced, thanks to Boss Jin's rescue, it has recovered now, so you are worried."

The reason why Nie Feng didn't confide the truth to Tieshan was because with Tieshan's temper, he didn't know what would happen if he knew the truth, and it might even hurt him.

"Is there a problem with the practice?"

But Tieshan is not so easy to fool, looking at Nie Feng with a strange look: "Really?"

He lowered his voice and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you fall in love with the proprietress, so..."

Regarding Tieshan's misunderstanding, Nie Feng could only smile wryly: "Nothing!"

Tieshan smiled and said, "You don't need to explain, I understand, just take care to protect yourself."

Nie Feng nodded.

He knew that Tieshan was rough on the outside and delicate on the inside, although he didn't believe his explanation, and he didn't want to ask the bottom line, so he just made a joke and blurted it out.

Who doesn't have a secret of their own?

After chatting for a few more words, the two returned to their respective positions, Nie Feng was in Xi Lei, while Tieshan was in Bei Lei.

If both of them can win the competition, there is a possibility that they will meet in the final, but this possibility is really very small, because according to Tieshan's strength, it is difficult to win enough promotion points.

Just as Nie Feng sat down, he suddenly felt something strange instinctively, as if someone was watching him with malicious eyes.

He turned his head and looked calmly, only to see two brothers Cao Xing'an and Cao Xinghai standing with a gray-haired old man with a hunchback, a dozen steps away from the seating area.

Nie Feng's gaze happened to collide with this old man!

Cao Han!

This glance made Nie Feng 100% sure that it was the old housekeeper of the Cao family who plotted against him last night.

When the other party saw Nie Feng, his old face full of spots and wrinkles showed an expression of disbelief. It was the expression of seeing the devil, and the surprise and astonishment were completely undisguised.

But the next moment he reacted, a ruthless light appeared in his cloudy eyes.

Cao Xing'an, who was following Cao Han, made a provocative gesture to Nie Feng.

idiot!

Nie Feng withdrew his gaze, and the killing intent in his heart continued unabated.

He suddenly bent down, clenched his fists to his mouth and coughed a few times, his face flushed red.

Nie Feng moved his position uneasily, took a few deep breaths, and his face returned to normal, but slightly pale.

This scene was seen by Cao Han who was observing him, his old eyes flashed a strange light, and he whispered a few words to Cao Xing'an.

But Nie Feng ignored them, closed his eyes and waited for the start of today's competition.

Today's competition started earlier than yesterday, and those young warriors who wanted to make their mark in the martial arts competition were already gearing up for the test, and with the sound of the drums, the atmosphere of the scene gradually entered into a climax.

The split ring matchup was still a lottery, because Nie Feng played many games yesterday, so according to the rules, he was drawn at the bottom of the lottery today, and none of the front ones were drawn.

Among them is Cao Xing'an!

Cao Xing'an was drawn to play in the seventh match. His opponent was a young man in green clothes. Both of them were high-level black irons. They were evenly matched in terms of realm.

Both chose the longsword as their weapon.

The sound of the drum suddenly stopped, and Cao Xing'an immediately drew his sword and rushed towards the opponent, swung a sharp sword light and slashed the throat of the young man in green shirt, the attack was fast and ruthless!

The young man in the green shirt was obviously caught off guard, coupled with his lack of actual combat experience, he quickly flew back, trying to avoid Cao Xing'an's attack.

However, this was exactly what Cao Xing'an wanted, he tapped his toes on the ground, and suddenly accelerated the speed of flying, the long sword in his hand "swipes" with sword lights, chasing after the opponent like a maggot attached to the bone, never leaving the vital point.

The young man in green shirt who had lost his chance was so bloodied by his quick sword that he retreated to the edge of the ring in a row, desperately parrying and blocking.

Clang! Clang!

The long swords of the two collided frequently, making a crisp sound.

As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. Seeing that Cao Xing'an stabbed his face with a sword again, the sword body was shining with the light of the sword energy, and he couldn't help but backed away.

However, it was his first time to compete on the stage, and he had retreated too many steps before, and he was very unfamiliar with the situation of the ring, so he didn't realize that he had no way to retreat, so he stepped on the edge.

"ah!"

The young man in green shirt almost stepped on the ground with his left foot, his body suddenly lost his balance, and he was staggering as he saw that he was about to fall.

According to the rules of the competition, once he was kicked out of the ring, he would be considered a loser. Everyone could see that the young man in green shirt lost irretrievably, but Cao Xing'an, who had been killed to the top, unexpectedly made up another sword and stabbed him fiercely in the abdomen!

There was a burst of exclamation around the arena, no one expected that Cao Xing'an's attack would be so vicious.

This is simply killing people!

However, Cao Xing'an did not succeed, because at the critical moment, the arbitrator made a timely move, stopped Cao Xing'an's mending sword, and declared his victory at the same time.

Cao Xing'an, who won the next round, waved triumphantly to the VIP viewing stand.

The next moment, his gaze was fixed on Nie Feng!
