Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

Ma Zhan looked at the lush cypress tree and said quietly, "Tang Anru and Tang Anyue's individual combat capabilities are too strong. Currently, they have only used hand-to-hand concealed weapons, and they can basically kill their opponents in seconds.

My second uncle once told me that in addition to the Tang Sect's hand-to-hand concealed weapons, the mechanical concealed weapons should not be underestimated.

Tang Sect's mechanical hidden weapons, while not as concealed as their tactical counterparts, are nonetheless incredibly powerful. Just like the Mother-and-Child Soul-Chasing Gallbladder we saw within the Yinlu Division, they can deliver a comprehensive strike.

If you really can’t avoid it, I’ll handle it.”

Zheng Xiaoqiao just nodded silently. She wanted to say that with her water-based skills, the blessing of the water from the Wangchuan River, and the help of the snow frog, the outcome of the battle against the two of them was still uncertain.

However, Ma Zhan would never allow it. He held the number one plate and had the right to actively choose his opponent. The most Zheng Xiaoqiao could do was choose Tang Anyue after Ma Zhan chose Tang Anru.

Rather than adding to your troubles, it is better to say nothing.

The competition is about to decide the winner. The higher the ranking, the richer the rewards. Of course, more important than the rewards is reputation.

The performance in the Jiange Competition affects the ranking on the martial arts evaluation sub-list. If you do not challenge and defeat the person ahead of you, your ranking on the sub-list will basically be based on the competition.

The higher the ranking, the brighter the future. Sects, the martial arts world, and even the imperial court will deliberately allocate resources to them.

There was no place around Dajianping where people could stand, and it was all empty.

The top ten of the competition appeared on the Great Sword Terrace: the masked Qinghu and Zheng Xiaoqiao. Princess Liu Nange of Shu, Li De of Jiange, and Yingjun of Puyang. Lin Yueshu of Mount Emei, Tang Anru and Tang Anyue of the Tang Clan. Black Monkey of the Explorers Guild, and He Hongzhu of the Five Poison Sect.

Aside from Ma Zhan and Zheng Xiaoqiao, two of the most accomplished cultivators, the rest were disciples from major Shu sects. This indirectly demonstrated that cultivation resources were still controlled by the major sects.

It is worth noting that four players from the least favored team in the second game made it into the top ten.

The rules remain the same, choose your own opponent.

To Ma Zhan's surprise, Liu Nange actually chose Tang Anru first. After she put her number plate down, she said to Ma Zhan with a smile, "I'll help you solve a problem. I'll make braised spareribs tonight."

"If you want to eat spare ribs, just tell her. Don't let her stab you to death."

Liu Nange smiled confidently and said nothing more.

Ma Zhan was filled with questions. How could a Formation Master be so confident in defeating the Tang Sect? You were a Mage, and they were assassins with ranged attacks. They could kill you in seconds with just one combo, no cooldown required.

However, seeing Liu Nange's confident look, Ma Zhan didn't say much.

After everyone chose their opponents, Lu Zhu announced the start of the first competition.

"Green Tiger vs. Black Monkey."

Qinghu is the favorite to win the championship. Having eliminated Wang Yi and Zhang Qingyun successively, his popularity is second only to Liu Nange. Many people around Dajianping have imitated him and put on silver masks.

Before the competition, Ma Zhan flirted with the girls as usual, "Beautiful sister, after I win the championship, can you please do me the honor of having dinner with me?"

"Have a meal?"

"Just chatting, drinking tea, eating and so on."

"Oh, it depends on my mood."

"Damn, you're pretty hard to date."

With Green Bamboo's announcement, the competition began.

Black Monkey is good at wielding a scimitar, and has spent a lot of time traveling between mountains and forests. He is agile and extremely fast. With this kind of attack speed, it is difficult for him to pose a threat in the battle of Tsushima.

Ma Zhan is a warrior who can fight and resist, and Hei Hou is an assassin? He attacks with sword energy, and Ma Zhan dodges with light skills. He approaches with a sword, and Ma Zhan uses tiger stick to protect him.

Black Monkey's hands were numb from the shock, and Ma Zhan didn't even release his protective Qi. Ma Zhan knew his scimitar had the same ability to break through the protective Qi, so it made no difference whether it was protected or not.

The difference in strength made Black Monkey admit defeat, and Ma Zhan won easily.

The first competition was so boring. The top ten were just empty talk.

"Beautiful sister, this black monkey is not very resistant to beatings. There is no sense of accomplishment in defeating him."

"Would you like me to fight you for a few moves?"

Ma Zhan immediately apologized, "You are busy, you are busy, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Liu Nange versus Tang Anru."

Here it comes, here it comes, the highlight is finally here.

Our Great Shu Princess Liu Nange and Tang Clan Goddess Tang Anru, two beautiful high-ranking flowers of Shu, met at Dajianping.

Tang Anru leaped onto the Dajianping in one step, and her graceful movements drew cheers from those around her.

Liu Nange held the imperial seal in his left hand, and his pet, the Yellow Crane, carried her to the Great Sword Terrace. Whether in terms of appearance or her elegant demeanor, she clearly outshined Tang Anru.

In Liang, the aristocratic families often looked down on people from the Jianghu. However, in Shu, where the spirit of Jianghu prevailed, this situation did not exist. Instead, the aristocratic families would treat people from the Jianghu as guests of honor.

Liu Nange became an outlier in the competition. She participated in the competition as a Jianghu person, but she did not deliberately hide her title as the Princess of Shu.

She may have other intentions, whether to demonstrate the power of the royal family, or to express the royal family's willingness to integrate with the martial arts world, or both.

Facing Tang Anru, Liu Nange's calm confidence was the confidence in her cultivation, and also the confidence given to her by the Shu royal family behind her.

As Lu Zhu announced the start, Tang Anru instantly vanished from the spot. Liu Nange's momentum had put too much psychological pressure on her, forcing her to give it her all without reservation.

The Tang Clan's unique skill, the Dustless Step, was so powerful that not even a speck of dust could stick to the body. After a shadow passed by, twelve jujube-shaped nails and six bee-tail stingers shot towards Liu Nange from all tricky angles, front, back, left, and right.

Seeing Tang Anru's actions, Ma Zhan remembered the term "over-rescue." Facing Liu Nange, Tang Anru had chosen to over-attack. Similarly, his heart trembled. He was certain that he could not defeat Tang Anru.

Liu Nange still held the national seal in his left hand and stood there calmly with his right hand behind his back.

Not to mention the others, even Lu Zhu, who was watching the fight closely, was nervous. "What is Princess Nan Ge thinking? Is she just here to show off?"

It seems that only Ma Zhan knows that Liu Nange is definitely not an easy person to deal with.

As expected, the eighteen hidden weapons all hovered in the air when they were three feet away from Liu Nange, and could not move forward any further.

"Defensive formation~" Ma Zhan said to Zheng Xiaoqiao beside him: "No wonder she chose such a flashy way to appear, it turns out she set up the formation in advance."

Zheng Xiao said doubtfully: "If Nan Ge does this, she won't be attacked, but she won't win either.

Maintaining the defensive needle consumes Nan Ge's spiritual energy, while Tang Anru only needs to grind it down bit by bit. In the end, the spiritual energy is exhausted, and Nan Ge still loses.

Ma Zhan nodded, "Yes, who knows what our Princess Nange is thinking."
