Chapter 130 Take action
"No need to say more, I will play the first game against the Wan family, and I choose Zhang Da." Yan Bo waved his hand and said directly.
"In that case, let's get started." The head of the Zhao family said no more. There were only so many strong men of the third rank in the four major families, and they were quite familiar with each other.
Yan Bo and Zhang Da stepped onto the stage. Both were in the middle stage of the sixth rank. Yan Bo looked a little old, while the other was 10 to 20 years younger. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Yan Bo with a hint of contempt on his face.
As soon as the competition started, Yan Bo immediately went all out, like a tiger rushing down a mountain, launching a desperate attack, completely abandoning defense, with a crazy attitude of exchanging his life for injury.
Zhang Da was startled and caught off guard. He was confused for a moment and fell into a disadvantage.
Although Yan Bo is older, he is more experienced and has a sharper vision. The disadvantage of his exhausted qi and blood will only become apparent after both sides are engaged in a long battle and a stalemate, but it is not a big deal at the beginning.
Therefore, Zhang Da, who lost the initiative, was completely on the defensive for a while because of his carelessness.
As the saying goes, if you defend for too long, you will lose. Suddenly, Yan Bo seized a tiny flaw in Zhang Da and used his famous skill, "Xura Mysterious Finger!"
Zhang Da was horrified and tried to resist hastily, but he was caught off guard and was knocked out by Yan Bo's three consecutive fingers and fell off the stage. Although he used his spiritual power to protect his body and only suffered minor injuries, the result of the competition was that he lost.
The whole place was in uproar. The heads of the Zhao, Zhang and Li families were so shocked that they stood up. The old butler of the Wan family actually won? This was really beyond everyone's expectations. The defeated Zhang Da looked ashamed, and looked at Yan Bo with hatred and dissatisfaction, with a look of unwillingness.
In contrast, everyone in the Wan family was all amazed. Yan Bo won? He actually won? No one had any expectations at first. After all, it was a fact that Yan Bo was old and weak. As long as the opponent played steadily and dragged on, there was a high probability of winning.
He had done enough for the Wan family, and no one could find fault with him. Even if he lost, no one would say anything, let alone complain. But unexpectedly, he actually gave the Wan family a big surprise.
Even if the Wan family had to lose the title of one of the four major families, they would still fight hard and would not let the other three families succeed without any effort, nor would they let other outsiders present laugh at them. However, Yan Bo won, which undoubtedly brought a glimmer of hope to the Wan family.
Yan Bo's realm is high, and there are few people at the same realm, so he can only choose one of the two. However, Wan Shengyang is in the middle stage of the seventh rank, so the range of choices is larger. The other three families together have at least seven or eight middle stage seventh rank warriors.
Picking a weaker one might not mean they can't win another battle. If they really win, the names of the four major Wan families will be preserved. Even if they will still lose a large area of influence, at least they can get another five years of breathing space.
Wan Shengyang indeed had this idea. After Yan Bo came back, he looked at him excitedly and said, "Yan Bo, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me." As the second son of the Wan family, most of the family affairs were handled by him and Yan Bo in the absence of his eldest brother. Although this took up some of his energy, his own fighting ability was not too weak.
Yan Bo himself felt that his victory was too easy. The three families had been planning for a long time to divide up the Wan family. They were very shrewd and could not have been unaware that he would challenge them to a duel. But Zhang Da did underestimate the enemy just now, and he did not understand why.
Facing Wan Shengyang's high-spirited eyes, he could only say: "Second Master, be careful. If something cannot be done, don't force it."
"Well, I understand." After saying that, he stepped onto the ring. He chose a seventh-grade mid-stage disciple of the Li family, named Li Hao. The opponent was not well-known, and they had met several times before. He should have a 40% to 50% chance of winning. If he didn't care about life and death... Wan Shengyang trembled in his heart. The future of the family depended on this competition.
The two of them stepped onto the ring, and at this moment, the heads of the Zhao, Zhang and Li families suddenly relaxed, smiled knowingly at each other, and had a sense of pride that their conspiracy had succeeded. Yan Bo, who had been feeling a little uneasy and felt that his victory was too strange, was shocked when he saw the three people showing such expressions.
His eyes turned to Wan Shengyang on the stage. A flash of light flashed through the darkness in his mind, and he finally figured out the sinister intentions of the three families. Their target was the second son.
Even if the three families removed the Wan family from the four major families, as long as the second son was still there, they could not rest assured. Only by destroying the second son could they rest assured. The Situ family would never allow a secret assassination, otherwise all the cultivation geniuses in the county city would be in danger.
Only if he destroyed the Second Young Master in the ring, the higher-ups would not ask about it. If he lost at the beginning, the Second Young Master would most likely not play, because even if he won by chance, they would not be able to send anyone to the third match. The remaining eighth- and ninth-rank warriors of the Wan family were not up to the task at all, and many of them had never fought against anyone. Moreover, the other three families had the right to refuse the competition of such a weak warrior, because it would be too embarrassing for the four major families.
Only if he wins and the Wan family sees hope, the Second Young Master will leave without hesitation. No matter who the Second Young Master chooses, as long as the other party intends to destroy the Second Young Master from the beginning, they will not care about the rules. Borrowing external forces to destroy the Second Young Master's path of cultivation is naturally considered a foul, the result of the competition is invalid, and compensation must be paid. But if the Second Young Master is destroyed, no compensation will be used. The Wan family will be completely finished.
After realizing this, Yan Bo immediately wanted to step down to stop the competition. However, it was too late because Li Hao had already taken something out of his arms.
"Stop!" Yan Bo shouted and flew down.
However, Li Hao's Sky Thunder Pearl had already been thrown out, and Wan Shengyang was still a little confused when he saw something flying towards him at a high speed.
"Second Young Master, get out of the way!" Yan Bo roared with bloodshot eyes. However, in this instant, Wan Shengyang had no time to react.
At this critical moment, a figure rushed out from the crowd and rushed to the stage, coming to Wan Shengyang. A light shield made of spiritual energy wrapped the two of them tightly in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!" A terrifying roar that was enough to pose a huge threat to a sixth-grade warrior in the early stage sounded. In the thick black smoke raised by the huge explosion, countless electric snakes danced wildly, making a creepy sizzling sound. Once these Yin thunders enter the warrior's body, they will cause irreversible damage to the warrior, especially the meridians, which can easily destroy the warrior's path of cultivation.
This sudden change shocked everyone.
The smoke and dust cleared, and Xu Feng and Wan Shengyang appeared in front of everyone intact.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere with the competition between our four major families?" The head of the Zhang family stood up and asked sternly. It was a failure at the last moment. It was a failure at the last moment. A strong man of the third rank suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the fatal blow for Wan Shengyang?
"Zhang Qing, you still have the nerve to say that? You three families are so vicious that you actually want to destroy my second young master. You must give our Wan family an explanation for this matter." Yan Bo was still in shock and was terrified.
"Li Hao, you shouldn't have violated the rules and used poisonous things to win. Fortunately, you didn't make a big mistake after all. Go back and accept the punishment." Zhang Qing turned around and blamed Li Hao, and lightly touched upon the matter.
"Yes, I know I was wrong." Li Hao's face turned pale and he quickly knelt down to admit his mistake. Then he quickly got off the stage and disappeared into the crowd.
"You..." Yan Bo was furious, his eyes full of anger. This is too much, it's really too much.
But what else can you do? If you are not strong enough, even if others are obviously bullying you, you can't do anything. Unless you dare to risk it and don't care about the consequences. The conspiracy of the three families did not succeed after all, so they were too lazy to put on a show.
“Who exactly are you? If you do not give our four major families a reasonable explanation for your rash interference in the competition…” Zhang Qing stopped talking suddenly.
Xu Feng's aura began to increase rapidly, from the middle stage of the sixth grade, to the late stage of the sixth grade, and then to the early stage of the fifth grade, and continued to increase. It did not stop until the middle stage of the fifth grade, and only stopped at the peak of the middle stage of the fifth grade.
Xu Feng had inquired around and found out that the Zhao, Zhang and Li families all had three mid-third-grade warriors, and the family heads were all late-fifth-grade masters. His display of the peak mid-fifth-grade realm was enough to attract their attention and fear, and thus save the Wan family.
