In the Demon Suppression Division, the Iron-Cutting Sword Technique is perfected

Chapter 140



As both parties of the competition arrived, the competition was about to begin.

Gu Cheng, wearing a cloud-patterned black shirt, walked steadily through the crowd and came to the stage.

An old referee came forward and handed him a thin piece of rice paper.

"Life and death agreement?"

Gu Cheng frowned slightly, glanced at the handwriting on the paper, and looked at the old man in confusion:

"Does this competition need to sign a life and death agreement?"

In his impression, the competition was an elegant thing, and the intensity of the confrontation was not high, so why was it so tense?

The old referee had a gray goatee. Hearing this, he stroked his beard and explained:

"Master Gu, you don't know, this is the rule of our Tianshui City.

Any arena competition, no matter the form, requires signing a life and death agreement to show fairness and justice."

On the other side, the purple-eyed young man had already signed his name in a flamboyant manner. At this moment, he was looking at Gu Cheng with interest, with a wicked arc on the corner of his mouth:

"Why, brother Gu, are you scared? Don't worry, I will take good care of such a handsome young man like you..."

Not only does this purple-eyed young man look feminine, but even his voice carries a disgusting smell of powder, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Gu Cheng looked up and frowned even deeper at the other party's playful eyes like a cat playing with a mouse.

This grandson is really unpleasant no matter how you look at him.

If he hadn't been concerned about the upcoming competition, he really wanted to chop this androgynous sissy to death with a knife!

He took a deep breath and suppressed his irritation.

Gu Cheng ignored the provocation of the purple-eyed young man, picked up the brush, and wrote his name on the death warrant.

The old man with a sheep's beard took the death warrant from the two, walked to the center of the ring, and announced loudly:

"The death warrant has been signed, victory or defeat depends on man, life or death depends on God!"

His voice was loud and powerful, spreading throughout the square, making everyone's eyes focus on the ring.

"Both parties in the competition: Gu Cheng from the Demon Suppression Division!"

"Against: Chenlong Martial Arts School - "Young Master Nongyu" Ximen Yu!"

"Method of the competition: Qin battle!

Both parties can only compete with their minds and the sound of the qin. Any form of physical contact or use of other weapons will be considered a foul and automatically judged as a loss!"

"During the competition, if one party admits defeat or loses the ability to fight again, the other party wins!"

"The winner will receive a reward from Chenlong Martial Arts School: the ancient qin "Dead Wood Dragon Song" and the unique skill of Chenlong Martial Arts School - "Dragon Slaying Sword Technique"!"

Every time the goat-bearded old man announced a rule, there was a burst of exclamations from the audience.

And after knowing the prize of this competition, it caused an uproar.

As for the ancient qin, no one was interested. They just vaguely heard that the courtesan of Chunfeng Tower was asking around for the whereabouts of an ancient qin, and they didn't know if it was this one.

But when it comes to "Dragon Slaying Sword Technique", it is well-known!

"Hiss! It's actually the Dragon Slaying Sword Art! Chenlong Martial Arts School has even brought out its unique martial arts skills. What a big deal!"

"Yes, it seems that Chenlong Martial Arts School is determined to win this competition!"

Amid the discussion of the crowd, Gu Cheng and Ximen Yu stepped onto the stage one after another.

One of them was as handsome as jade, and the other was handsome and evil. Both were rare handsome men.

As soon as they appeared, they instantly ignited the atmosphere under the stage.

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the stage, including some young girls, who looked at the two with strange eyes and their hearts were beating fast.

On the roof of a restaurant near the stage,

Tang Lingyu stood on the top of the restaurant, looking over the bustling crowd and falling on the stage in the distance.

The cold wind of early winter brought a hint of coolness, brushing across her demon-suppressing black shirt, outlining her beautiful curves.

After finishing this retreat, she rushed over as soon as she heard that Gu Cheng was going to compete with someone in playing the qin.

"Chirp!"

A snow-white bird flapped its wings and landed lightly on Tang Lingyu's head.

The bird was snow-white without a trace of other colors, and it looked very spiritual. It was the bird servant of the Spirit Bird Venerable.

"Auntie Spirit Bird, you are here to join in the fun too?"

Tang Lingyu asked with a smile, with a bit of intimacy in her tone.

"Well, I know a little about music, so how can I miss this kind of competition?"

The Spirit Bird Venerable combed his feathers and looked at the arena.

When it noticed the strange purple pupils of Young Master Nongyu, a trace of barely perceptible disgust flashed in its eyes.

"Huh? Isn't that the little beast from the Ximen family? Mingjian Villa really did everything to deal with Gu Cheng."

"Ximen family? Is the heir of that family very powerful?" Tang Lingyu looked puzzled.

"Of course..."

Spirit BirdThe Venerable nodded and said softly:

"The Ximen family is a hidden family in Yunzhou. In recent years, they have been very low-key. Only a few family members are out in the open. It's normal that you haven't heard of it.

But in terms of family power alone, the Ximen family is not inferior to the Xu family in Yunzhou. Even the Demon Suppression Department has to give it some face.

That little beast has relied on his family background to do a lot of evil. If he wasn't a direct descendant of the Ximen family, he would have been arrested and thrown into the sky prison by the Demon Suppression Department!"

The tone of the Venerable Lingque was quite unfriendly, obviously he was very dissatisfied with the bad things that the young master Nanyue had done before.

Then, the little white bird changed the subject, and his tone was a little more worried:

"The Ximen family is best at illusions, and the sound of the piano can be used to fascinate the mind and kill people invisibly.

Although Gu Cheng's thunder method and water control technique are powerful, this time the piano competition prohibits the use of spells, which is really a disadvantage."

After listening to the analysis of the Venerable Lingque,

Tang Lingyu nodded gently, but her face did not show any worry. Instead, she was full of confidence in Gu Cheng.

After this period of time, Gu Cheng had already been an omnipotent existence in her heart.

How could a mere duel of pianos stump him?

"Chief Gu will definitely win!" She said softly, with a very firm tone.

At the same time, in a teahouse near the ring.

Chen Youdao sat by the window, seemingly sipping tea leisurely, but in fact, he had not touched his lips. His eyes were fixed on the ring in the distance through the window lattice.

As the mastermind behind this piano duel, he could not come forward in person, and could only use his mind to sense the movement on the ring from a distance.

"Humph! That kid is sure to lose!"

Chen Youdao snorted in his heart, his face full of viciousness.

Although this piano duel could not take Gu Cheng's life, he would also make him lose face in front of everyone and never stand up again!

The third and second elders of Chenlong Martial Arts School sat opposite Chen Youdao, taking in the expression of the silver-haired middle-aged man.

The two exchanged glances calmly, with an intriguing smile on their lips.

Not far from the ring, a beautifully decorated carriage stopped quietly.

The curtain was slightly opened, and a little maid with pigtails poked her head out, curiously looking at the situation on the ring.

After a while, she lowered the curtain and turned to ask the people in the carriage:

"Miss, who do you think will win this piano duel?"

In the carriage, a young woman wearing a light veil was resting with her eyes closed, holding an ancient Yaoqin in her arms.

She was the famous courtesan of Chunfeng Tower - Miss Tianyin.

Hearing the little maid's question, Miss Tianyin did not answer, but just tilted her ears slightly, as if listening to the piano sound that was about to be played on the ring.

The wind and clouds moved before the piano sounded.

Gu Cheng and Ximen Yu stood opposite each other, each sitting cross-legged on a golden futon, with a beautifully carved and simple-grained paulownia guqin placed in front of them.

Ximen Yu's slender fingers gently stroked the strings of the guqin, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Brother Gu, it is rare to meet a like-minded person. If you and I decide the winner today, I wonder if Brother Gu would be so kind as to drink a cup together?"

Ximen Yu smiled slightly, and with his feminine eyebrows, his words also carried a bit of ambiguity.

Gu Cheng suppressed his disgust and refused coldly:

"No need, Brother Ximen, just concentrate on the competition."

Seeing that Gu Cheng refused so straightforwardly, Ximen Yu was not angry, but just chuckled and gently plucked the strings of the guqin with his slender fingers.

Suddenly, the melodious sound of the guqin poured out like water, resounding throughout the arena.

The sound of the piano was sometimes as clear and passionate as the sound of mountain streams, and sometimes as unpredictable as resentment, admiration, and weeping.

The audience was intoxicated by the music, and they closed their eyes and immersed themselves in this wonderful music.

However, just as everyone was intoxicated, the sound of the piano suddenly changed!

A strong divine thought spread with the sound of the piano, turning into an invisible sharp blade, instantly pulling everyone into a fantasy full of murderous intent.

Gu Cheng only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and countless colorful poisonous snakes suddenly appeared on the originally empty stage!

They spit out scarlet tongues, made a creepy hissing sound, and rushed towards Gu Cheng like a tide!
