Chapter 246 The Twelve Sects’ Grand Martial Arts Performance Begins
Finally, the bell representing the time was up rang out over Los Angeles.
On the Luo Mirror Platform, a white-bearded old man in a red Taoist robe climbed up step by step onto the platform where the Luo Mirror was placed. With his hands, he drew a trace of light, and a formation talisman appeared out of thin air in front of the old man's throat, and then disappeared into his throat.
"Ahem." He cleared his throat, and the sound echoed over the entire city of Los Angeles.
This is the Hongyin formation, which is used to amplify sound. Now the Hongyin formation is set up all around the city of Luo, and then the sound emitted by the Luojingtai in the center is refracted, and the sound amplified by the Hongyin formation is amplified several times again, so that the whole city of Luo can hear his voice clearly.
At the same time, the sky gradually darkened, and a gray fog gathered, occupying the sky above Luocheng. Then the gray fog suddenly flickered a few times, and finally suddenly brightened, and the scene of Luojingtai was clearly imprinted on it. This is the Returning Image Array, which is also a Returning Image Array after being superimposed several times. Such a large image can fully take care of every corner of Luocheng.
This was also approved by the Tianmen Domain envoy, otherwise who would dare to do such a huge project by themselves? The reason why the Tianmen Domain envoy agreed was because the cultivators urgently needed an activity that could mobilize everyone's energy.
“Wow!”
Seeing such a grand display of martial arts for the Twelve Sects, the cultivators outside the Luojingtai and those who failed to enter the Luojingtai were greatly surprised, and their eyes were full of novelty. After all, although the three regions of Bianyun have not been fighting secretly for so many years, they have never united to do such a large event. This is the first time. At the same time, many people are thinking about the meaning behind this Twelve Sects Martial Arts Show.
"Look, the one presiding over the Twelve Gates Martial Arts Show is City Lord Luo Feng!" someone shouted.
Luo Feng, the Lord of Luo City, is also the descendant of Luo Gu who lived 500 years ago. Although the descendants of Luo Gu did not establish any sects, Luo Jingtai, the center of the Lord of Luo City, has been the guardian of the Lord of Luo City from generation to generation. Although there is no sect, the reputation of the Lord of Luo City is extremely high, because Luo City is the only neutral city, and because of Luo Gu who lived 500 years ago, all the major sects have to give him face. No one expected that the Twelve Sects Grand Martial Arts Performance would be hosted by Luo Feng.
Luo Feng cleared his throat and said briefly: "Now, the Twelve Gates Martial Arts Show is about to begin." In the image in the sky, Luo Feng nodded, and then a roar sounded, and the sky suddenly darkened. With another roar, colorful lines of fire shot straight into the sky, and then exploded above the dark sky, turning into flowers made of flames.
Fireworks!
Everyone was fascinated by the fireworks in the sky, watching them constantly changing, transforming into flowers, trees, spirit animals, and humans. The fireworks seemed to have a living life, constantly changing in the sky. The colorful clouds of the fireworks were reflected on everyone's faces, colorful and gorgeous.
As the fireworks were blooming, the fifteen contestants of the Twelve Martial Arts Show were already standing under the Luojing stage, waiting for the gorgeous fireworks to end.
Shi Yan looked around at the contestants from the other two regions. There was one person among them whom Shi Yan already knew, that was Wei Dong. It was said that Wei Dong had the greatest chance of winning the championship. Of course, this could also just be their Northern Territory's wishful recognition.
"He's here too!" In the Northern Territory team, Shi Yan actually found a familiar face, Bai Yucheng! That's right, it was the Bai Yucheng from Bei'e Mountain who led the team to the Dragon Cave. Shi Yan smiled slightly without revealing a trace on his face. He didn't expect that this coward was also one of the players. What did this show? It showed that there was no one left in the Northern Territory!
Shi Yan didn't recognize the other three. One of them was a pale-faced scholar-like figure, with a faint smile on his lips, which made people feel close to him. Another was a burly man, with bulging muscles on his body, like huge rocks, as if he would explode if he got bigger. In addition to his burly figure, the most eye-catching thing about this man was his arms, which were actually longer than the average person's. When he stood naturally, his arms naturally drooped, and the length of his hands actually exceeded his knees. There was another person who was not so burly, but he also looked very strong. He stood at the end, with fiery red hair and his hands folded across his chest. He didn't care about the serious atmosphere at all, and chatted with the pale-faced scholar next to him.
The contestants from Mingjing Domain were much more low-key. They were all dressed in black and masked, so it was hard to tell who they were. But the strange thing was that all five of them were carrying a large package. Didn't they have a space bag or a space ring? That was impossible. They must have had other purposes for the package. The five of them were similar in stature and height. At first glance, it seemed impossible to tell who was who. But Shi Yan observed carefully and found a little difference. The contestant in the middle had a slight bulge on his chest. Shi Yan judged that it might be a woman.
It’s not that Shi Yan discriminates against women, it’s just that fourteen out of the fifteen contestants are all men, and she is the only woman. Come to think of it, she is a bit unusual.
However, they were all masked, so their faces could not be seen. There might be women among them, but their features were only so obvious.
Finally, the dark night sky dissipated, revealing a clear sky.
Luo Feng looked at the contestants in the audience and said, "Next, we have our protagonists this time. Our fifteen young elites represent the Northern Territory, the Mirror Territory, and the Purple Muliu Flower Territory. Please applaud them."
Suddenly, applause broke out, and the whole city of Los Angeles was filled with jubilant applause.
"Cough, cough, cough," Luo Feng cleared his throat, and the entire Luo City suddenly became quiet. On the other side, on the high pavilion, a group of bigwigs looked at Luo Feng on the Luo Mirror Platform with jealousy, especially the major leaders of the Northern Territory. Seeing Luo Feng's influence, they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
"Okay, now everyone listen to me tell you the rules." Luo Feng looked at each contestant in turn. Although he paused and frowned slightly when he saw the Mingjing Domain contestant, the frown soon disappeared. He said, "This competition is different from the last preliminaries. It is not a one-on-one elimination match. If a one-on-one match is a test of the contestants' skills, then this competition is a test of the contestants' comprehensive strength."
He looked around and said, "This time, we will resort to a melee!"
"Melee!" All of the spectators were immediately curious about the game mode. It wasn't that they didn't know what a melee was like, but they were curious about how the organizers would arrange it. Some people had already guessed a little bit, and they were inevitably a little surprised.
"Yes, it was a melee." Luo Feng seemed to have noticed the surprise of the viewers and confirmed it very cooperatively.
"For this melee, we will use a place that no one knows about. It is a primitive dense forest. There live all kinds of spiritual beasts, ranging from low-level to high-level, and they are very powerful. No one can tell where they will appear in the forest. Maybe you will encounter them as soon as you enter, or maybe they will hide above your head, or maybe they will be on your body when you sleep."
Luo Feng chuckled. This was the first time that Luo Feng had laughed since he became the host of Luo Jingtai. "Speaking of which, in addition to the contestants, these spirit beasts will also be the enemies of the contestants. So don't just focus on the enemy in front of you and ignore this guy."
"This time we will use the secret realm of Los Angeles as the main battlefield!" As soon as these words came out, the whole Los Angeles was boiling.
"Is this true? The city lord said that he would use the secret realm of Luocheng as a battlefield!"
"Yes, that's what he said. My God, this news is so explosive!"
“However, it is not worthwhile to allow people from Mingjing Territory and Zimu Liuhua Territory to enter the secret realm of our Northern Territory.”
"What's so uneconomical about this? The Los Angeles Secret Realm has been open to the public over the years. This is an advantage for us!"
"Tsk, you can think of something that others can't? How is this different from cheating?"
"Perhaps this was originally proposed by the Tianmen Territory envoy!"
"Tianmen Territory Envoy?" Everyone fell silent upon hearing this title. "This is really possible. If it is the Tianmen Territory Envoy, then there is no room for objection."
"Everyone will be teleported to a location in the Luocheng Secret Realm. For the next period of time, you will live in the Luocheng Secret Realm. But I remind you in advance that entering the secret realm is random, so where you are teleported depends on your strength and luck. Attack the opponent at the same time, and withstand the attacks of spirit beasts. The last five people left are the final winners, and the real players of our Twelve Sects Grand Martial Arts Performance, who will challenge the twelve masters!" Luo Feng said: "The spirit beasts in the Luocheng Secret Realm are almost endless. The materials you get from hunting spirit beasts are your own property. If you can catch a living spirit beast and bring it out, or find a spirit beast egg and successfully bring it out, you can choose to hand it in, and we will exchange it for an equivalent fifth-grade item."
"In a moment, I will give each of you a small magic weapon. If you encounter an enemy that you think you cannot resist, you can activate this small magic weapon. In this way, you will be sent directly out of the secret realm of Luocheng."
At this point, Luo Feng's voice became solemn, "Here, I want to remind you that life is precious, and you are all the best among the younger generation. It is not easy for your teachers to train you. You must never underestimate your own life. Once you encounter force majeure, immediately activate the small magic weapon to withdraw to save your life. Withdrawal is not shameful, but death is!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the venue became noticeably tense.
Luo Feng's words contained two meanings. "First, that is what Luo Feng said, don't seek death! Second, that is to say, in this battle, you can kill people as long as you are strong enough!"
Suddenly, the look in everyone's eyes changed, becoming more vigilant. Not only were they wary of the cultivators from the other two domains, they also began to distrust the cultivators from their own domain.
Before that, who could guarantee that there would be no conflicts between the teammates around him and himself? The people sent by the major sects all had some conflicts to some extent, and some were even mortal enemies.
"This old man is really amazing. He can arouse the hostility of everyone with just one sentence. Mutual suspicion will rarely lead to the formation of an alliance among the three regions. This kind of melee is the most exciting!" Shi Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man in red.
