114 A Confrontation
“Who do you think will get the first place?”
On the tiger head slope, Hu Guanpan smiled as he turned around to look at the eight dojo masters.
Liu Zhong of the Mang Mountain Saber Dojo chuckled. “If the grand martial competition’s rules haven’t changed, I will definitely choose that brat, Reihom, from the Thunderbolt Dojo without hesitation. But now that the rules have been changed and it has become a free-for-all battle, it’s hard to say.”
The old man from the Crane Dojo crossed his arms and said, “I heard that Cai Jiulou has been thinking about Miss Shaoxiang from the Overflowing Fragrance restaurant recently. Hahaha… Yes, it’s good for a young man to have a goal. This way, he can be forced to show his potential. He might even drag Reihom off his horse.”
Bai Bashan snorted coldly. “Brother Liu, you’re thinking too much. There’s no one in the same generation in Pingnan City who can pull Riehom down.”
“That might not be the case.” Sun Yuanshan touched his beard. “As we all know, the top ten of the eight martial roll are almost the same.”
He pretended to be blind and vaguely ignored Reihom’s potential. He was so happy to see the people from the seven big dojos quarrel. Actually, it would be best if one or two of them were killed or injured.
“Hmph! It’s a problem if that disciple of yours can’t even last two hours in the grand martial competition’s arena!”
The dojo masters were bickering like children, giving tit for tat. Meanwhile, below them… it was even close to life and death.
The moment Qin Huai walked into the tiger head slope, two people rushed at him from behind.
Shua shua shua!
The other party shot three cold glints at him, and Qin Huai swung his hand in the same manner.
Bang bang bang!
The two flying daggers created sparks in the air and bounced off each other.
“Not bad…”
Before the sneer on the man’s face faded, he saw a handsome face appear in front of him.
Qin Huai’s eyes were calm. He raised his hands to his face in an instant, cupping his face like an intimate lover.
However, Qin Huai’s ‘flattering’ actions were a little more hurried.
Pa!
The man’s eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
“Your grandpa!”
The person behind him immediately swung his fist, but it was not his fist that beat him to it. Instead, it was the boxing ring on his forearm.
The fist ring spun, and there was a row of sharp thorns on the corner of the ring.
Qin Huai lowered his body and instantly dodged another hidden weapon. It was too slow. With a step forward, he was already in the other party’s arms.
He pushed his palm toward his chin, and with a crisp bang, the premeditated encounter ended in a relaxed and pleasant manner.
It was only two second refinement martial artists.
Qin Huai wiped off the blood from his nose. He instantly took off their wooden identity cards and threw them to the side.
“You two are using hidden weapons, and you want to catch me off guard and make a name for yourself…”
Qin Huai saw through their thoughts with a single glance. He didn’t care and continued to wander to the edge of the tiger head slope. Although he was strong, he didn’t want to become the target of public criticism so early.
Qin Huai had won against his master, so he had to get first place to vent his anger. Since he had made a promise, he had to choose the most secure way.
There were many people who had the same thoughts as Qin Huai, but they were too weak. They were all newbies who had just qualified for the second refinement and wanted to come to the grand martial competition to test their strength.
After a short time, Qin Huai knocked down several people in a few moves.
“There aren’t many second refinement participants in the grand martial competition, only about ten or so. Don’t tell me they’re all lying in my hands?”
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Qin Huai had dealt with seven second refinements.
“Are you taking me for a soft persimmon?” Qin Huai thought about it carefully and agreed.
As a pro disciple of the Changshan Dojo, he only had a few opportunities to fight in front of the public. He had killed Hong San and Gu He… No one saw the former, and no one seemed to see the latter. There were only some rumors.
It was more because he had been at the top of the demon slayers list for a month. However, everyone only had one impression of Qin Huai’s method of killing demons, and that was using poison.
“A fixed impression is really scary.” Qin Huai shook his head. He circled around the tiger head slope and slowly advanced.
After two hours…
Qin Huai finally met his first opponent.
Cai Jiulou, who was holding a large broadsword, blocked Qin Huai’s path. “Brother Qin, you can really run. It took me a long time to find you.”
His smile was very bright. If it weren’t for the cold and threatening broadsword in his hand, Qin Huai would have thought that he was an admirer.
“Brother Cai, why don’t you go find Reihom first? Wouldn’t it be better for us to join forces and kick him out first?” Qin Huai said unhurriedly. After being chased by a large group of demons, he didn’t feel any pressure, even if more than one person stood against him.
“There’s no rush. It’s good to use Brother Qin as a practice first.” Cai Jiulou chuckled. “Brother Qin’s efficiency in killing demons has saved many people from dying in Pingnan City. For this, I, Cai Jiulou, would like to thank you on behalf of my junior brothers and sisters in the Mang Mountain Saber Dojo.”
As he spoke, he cupped his fists at Qin Huai. Then, he changed the topic. “But you snatched my first rank, so Miss Shaoxiang can’t sleep with me for the time being… This is unforgivable. If I don’t kill you first, I won’t be able to rest easy, Brother Qin!”
Cai Jiulou’s face was filled with sincerity, but his eyes were gradually burning with anger. The more he thought about this matter, the angrier he got.
The angrier he was, the more he wanted to kill Qin Huai!
On the tiger head slope, Liu Zhong’s eyes widened as he looked at the two people in the corner. His line of sight was fixed on Cai Jiulou, so even if Cai Jiulou became a blurry dot, he could follow closely.
“Everyone, use this to take a closer look.”
