Katu

Soon, the top four groups came out. Huo Jiang faces Jiang Shan, while Chen Mu needs to face Luo Qing.

Xu Jia was a little worried and said to Chen Mu: "I know this girl Luo Qing very well. You have to be careful. She has never been merciless to men."

"Yes." Chen Mu indicated that he understood. He will not despise the other party because he is a female card cultivator. On the contrary, he will pay more attention to it. Among the card cultivators, the number of men far exceeds the number of women, but the female card cultivator who can gain a firm foothold in the card cultivator is definitely unique in her own way. What's more, the opponent is fighting on behalf of the Luo family, the largest in Dongrui City, so there is no need to doubt their strength.

However, it was not Chen Mu and Luo Qing who competed first, but Huo Jiang and Jiang Shan. Huo Jiang had won the previous battles easily, and his true level could not be seen. Jiang Shan and Chen Mu are very familiar with it. His legs are always a few centimeters above the ground.

There will be rest time between competitions. For example, right now, the guests are discussing the competition that just ended. Drinking red wine and watching the masters duel is really a kind of enjoyment.

Chen Mu, who was reminiscing about the battle with his eyes closed, suddenly felt someone beside him. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Tan Yuwen who had finally gotten rid of Jiang Ling. She was sitting just one seat away from Chen Mu, where Xu Jia was sitting just now. After a quick glance, Xu Jia approached Taishu Cheng with a wine glass in hand. When Rong Ming saw Tan Yuwen sitting next to Chen Mu, he smiled, picked up his glass and got up to find someone else to chat with.

"Manager Bai is really shining tonight." Tan Yuwen tilted her head and said with a smile.

"Miss Tan, you deserve the award." Chen Mu replied calmly.

"General Manager Bai, just call me Yuwen." Tan Yuwen said with a smile: "This is the first time that Yuwen has seen someone like General Manager Bai who can predict the enemy's opportunities with his eyes closed."

"Miss Tan, you deserve the award." Chen Mu, who didn't know how to answer, had no choice but to continue.

"Does Manager Bai have a problem with Yuwen?" Tan Yuwen frowned slightly.

Chen Mu shook his head: "Miss Tan is kind-hearted and full of courage. I admire her very much." Although his tone of voice was calm, it was easy to hear the seriousness in his words.

Tan Yuwen tucks her bangs in front of her forehead and smiles gently: "Manager Bai talks about Miss Tan one after another, which makes Yuwen not sure how to deal with herself!"

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was what the other party was saying: "I just think it's a bit abrupt to directly call Miss Tan by her name."

Tan Yuwen said helplessly: "Manager Bai is indeed a person who insists on himself, so Yumin had to give in." She suddenly changed the topic: "Manager Bai's fighting style reminds Yumin of a senior."

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and his expression remained unchanged as he looked directly at the other person: "I wonder which senior Miss Tan is talking about."

Tan Yuwen looked at Chen Mu and said leisurely: "This senior is domineering in the Federation and has an upright temperament, but he is very murderous. Even Uncle Mei praised him as one of the strongest people in the Federation in the past hundred years. This senior His fighting style is quite similar to that of General Manager Bai. If this senior hadn’t had a really violent temper, I would have mistakenly thought that General Manager Bai was his disciple."

"Oh." Chen Mu's heart jumped again. He knew that the senior Tan Yuwen was talking about was Xize. Doesn’t she know nothing about Ka Xiu? Can you actually see that you are in the same line as Nishizawa? What is the origin of this talk about Yuwen? Why do you know so clearly? However, Chen Mu was no longer a newbie, so he knew that he couldn't show any strangeness at this time. He quickly pretended to be curious and asked: "I wonder who this senior is?"

Tan Yuwen stared at Chen Mu's eyes for a long time, and suddenly smiled sweetly: "Yuwen just heard what I heard from hearsay, Manager Bai can just listen to it." She suddenly leaned forward and whispered in Chen Mu's ear: "Bai Manager, please don’t let Yuwen’s bracelet fall by the wayside.”

After saying that, he stood up and drifted away.

Jiang Yu had been paying attention to Tan Yuwen. When he saw Tan Yuwen approaching Chen Mu, his face looked a little ugly. Rhodes was beside him, drinking red wine carelessly. Seeing Jiang Yuqi's expression, he chuckled: "I don't know what this guy named Bai is capable of, but all these women are leaning towards him."

When Jiang Yu heard this, his heart trembled, knowing that his unhappiness was in the eyes of others. He immediately returned to his normal demeanor and smiled: "This mystery is the best lure. Apart from other things, his hands are still beautiful. I'm afraid that Manager Bai has an extraordinary background."

Rhodes also put away the carelessness on his face and said thoughtfully: "Ronghuhu may know a little bit, but he will definitely not tell."

Jiang Yu played with the red cup in his hand and said, "I'm just curious, how could someone like Mr. Bai come to work under Taishu City?"

Rhodes was also puzzled by this. He suddenly smiled and said, "Guess who will get that bracelet tonight?"

Jiang Yu glanced at Rhodes: "I was 80% confident that it was me. If we talk about a competition, the winner in the end is either you or me. Even if you get it, you will definitely give it to me as a favor. . But I didn’t expect that Manager Bai would show up halfway. Looking at his battle with Barojana just now, I feel a little bit suspense now.”

Rhodes also smiled bitterly: "I was very confident in Qing'er before, but now I feel that the outcome is 50-50."

Before the discussion between the two ended, the competition was about to begin, starting with Huo Jiang versus Jiang Shan.

The two entered the venue.

Although Huo Jiang looks a little more feminine, he is still quite handsome. As soon as he came on the stage, many women in the stands screamed. In contrast, everyone was much more indifferent to Jiang Shan's appearance.

There are always many differences between what women and men care about. For example, when women watch these competitions, they will pay more attention to Ka Xiu's appearance, and those handsome men will be more likely to be favored by them. But what the man paid attention to was Card Xiu's use of skills.

Huo Jiang looked solemn. He had never fought against Jiang Shan. But as Miss Jiang's personal bodyguard, just this identity can scare away many people. Unlike Taishu's family, the Jiang family's card repair reserves are much deeper.

Jiang Shan still looked indifferent, floating quietly a few centimeters above the ground.

Huo Jiang felt the pressure. The easier it was for the other party to take care of himself, the more confident the other party was. He decided to take action first, this time instead of using his usual [Three Leaves], he used another card.

He opened his hands slightly, as if holding something, and lowered his eyebrows solemnly. While everyone was astonished, one light spot after another floated out from his palm. Soon, the light spots floated out faster and faster, and after a few seconds, they erupted continuously from his palm like a fountain.

Jiang Shan did not wait for Huo Jiang to finish. He swayed, his upper body motionless, and he seemed to be gliding backwards on the ice. The distance between the two people quickly widened, Jiang Shan looked solemn, and pointed his parallel fingers into a sword. A soft blue light appeared on his fingertips, and he made a gentle stroke with his right hand.

A blue arc of electricity appeared in front of him, crackling.

Jiang Shan struck again and again, and there was another arc of electricity. The two arcs merged together, and the originally light blue arc became darker.

Huo Jiang's entire body was shrouded in light spots, making it impossible to see his figure clearly, and the light spots continued to increase. Jiang Shan also drew arcs over and over again. Each arc was superimposed by him. The arc in front of him was already blue.

The situation on the field was very strange. The two of them were doing their own things, as if they had nothing to do with each other. But anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the two of them are accumulating maximum strength! If you don't send it, once a collision occurs, it will definitely be a big collision! Everyone in the stands looked solemn, and the shocking energy fluctuations coming from the competition venue made them feel extremely depressed!

Chen Mu was a little surprised. The two of them seemed to be planning to finish their work in one battle. He didn't understand.

In fact, this is because he is not used to competing. Many card repairmen like to hit each other hard when competing, and use the strongest blow to decide the outcome. This kind of scene is almost impossible to see in battle, but it is very common in the competition field.

The energy fluctuations in the air were heart-stopping, and the guests stood up one after another, stretching their necks, waiting for the two men's earth-shattering blow! Maybe in the eyes of the battle card repairman, this is really nothing to see. But for ordinary viewers, this can make their blood boil even more!

As if there was a tacit understanding, the two of them started at the same time!

Jiang Shan looked extremely serious, waving his right hand slowly with a labored expression on his face. The azure half-moon arc floating in front of him was as heavy as a thousand stones, moving forward bit by bit at an extremely slow speed.

The light spots around Huo Jiang suddenly gathered in front of him crazily. The speed of these light spots was extremely fast, leaving thin streaks of white light in the air. Before he blinked, a silver-white energy short gun appeared in front of him.

The gun is half a meter long and is silver-white in color with flowing light. There is a black bamboo section on the body of the gun. If you count it in detail, the bamboo section contains three sections.

"[Bamboo Gun Jam]!"

The knowledgeable people exclaimed.

"It's actually a [bamboo gun jam]. It's really surprising." Rong Ming didn't know when he returned to Chen Mu, held a new wine glass, and stared at the silver short gun with the bamboo mark on the field.

Chen Mu had never heard of this card. He tilted his head and asked, "[Bamboo Gun Card]?"

Rong Ming said solemnly: "[Bamboo Gun Card] is a card from the genre era, and it is also the most powerful card in the Bamboo Gun Style. Unfortunately, Huo Jiang is not strong enough and can only reach three knots now. See the bamboo gun on the gun body Have you? The more the number of bamboo joints, the greater the power of one blow. The best [Bamboo Gun Card] releases the bamboo joints on the short gun to reach seven joints. If I guessed correctly, Huo Jiang's picture The card should be just a five-section [bamboo section gun card].”

"Oh." Chen Mu suddenly understood, and then he understood the meaning of the bamboo joint on the gun body. In fact, when he saw this energy spear, he suspected that it was a card from the genre era. The short gun is obviously full of ancient style, which is very different from modern times.

Many people think that cards from the genre era are better than cards from today, but this is just a misunderstanding. The modern card system can replace the ancient card system, and is of course more advanced. However, the genre era has its own distinct characteristics. In that era, a hundred flowers bloomed and various systems emerged in endlessly, which was completely different from today's Vancente system that dominates the world. Today, these alternative systems have basically disappeared, but many of their cards have been passed down. Cards that can be passed down to this day are naturally the best in the genre era!

In addition, they are very different from modern cards, and ordinary card repairers will easily suffer when facing these cards.

"What kind of card is Jiang Shan?" he asked curiously. It was obvious that Rong Ming was familiar with these.

Rong Ming said: "There are three or four kinds of famous cards in the Jiang family. The one Jiang Shan is using now should be [Dark Blue Arc]. This card is not as good as [Bamboo Gun Card], but I still know Jiang Shan's strength." A little bit, the two of them can compete." He suddenly pointed out: "You have to be careful about that girl from the Luo family. The Dongrui Luo family is a branch of the Qianhu Luo family, and the family background is very deep."

The two of them finally completed all their preparations, which made Chen Mu shake his head inwardly. Such a long time was enough for him to attack seven or eight times.

When I was in Puju District, I always felt that there were so many masters from the five major Chinese regions, and the masters from Puju District were just ordinary people in the five major Chinese regions. But when he arrived in the five major Chinese regions, Chen Mu discovered that there was a misunderstanding. The number and quality of card repairmen in the five major Chinese regions are indeed much higher than those in Puju District, and the card repairing training mechanism in the Chinese region is more advanced and complete. However, it is not that the card repairs in the Hua District are better than the card repairs in the Puju District in every aspect.

Ka Xiu in the Hua District is like a polite white-collar worker in the city, while Ka Xiu in the Puju District is like a gangster in the city.

Most of the card repairmen in China are not related to fighting. They are engaged in specialized professions. There are not many real combat card repairmen. Although they have received professional training, their actual combat skills are much worse than those in common areas. The living environment in the Chinese District is much better than that in the Common District. Public security is good, there are fewer conflicts, and there are fewer wild animals. In addition to the peaceful environment these years, they have not experienced much actual combat.

Seeing the competition on the field, Chen Mu became more and more aware of the gap between the two.

After slowly accelerating, the half-moon arc on the field suddenly surged in speed, and Huo Jiang launched an attack without hesitation!

Blue lightning and a flash of silver light suddenly collided together!

boom!

Everyone felt their eyes brighten, and the dazzling light made their eyes full of white flowers, and they couldn't see anything. The loud noise of the explosion made the ears numb, and there was a buzzing sound in the ears.

At this moment, the expressions of Chen Mu and Rong Ming both changed!

Dozens of figures appeared in the stands without any warning, rushing toward everyone! These card repairmen all wear masks on their faces. They are extremely fast and have extraordinary skills! While the person is still in the air, they launch an attack!

For a moment, the blades of light were like rain.

Rong Ming snorted coldly and suddenly appeared next to Tan Yuwen.

What a speed! Chen Mu's heart trembled, this Rong Ming was indeed worthy of being a master of level 7 perception!

I saw Rong Ming's hands circling around, and a terrifying energy wave suddenly rippled out. Those light blades seemed to have hit an invisible wall and were annihilated silently.

Luo Qing, who had been standing by Rhodes' side, flashed a stern look in her eyes. With a flick of her finger, several light shuttles accurately hit the light blades attacking Rhodes and Jiang Yu, protecting them behind her.

Screams came one after another, and many guests were caught off guard and hit by the light blade, with blood splattering everywhere. Gently dodging several light blades that were attacking him, he had a clear view of the situation on the field. There were more masked Kaxiu than he thought, ten of them. Chen Mu's pupils suddenly shrank and he assassinated Kaxiu! These ten people actually assassinated Ka Xiu!

Their movements are light and concealed, and the energy fluctuations during attacks are almost negligible. The faces of Rong Ming, Luo Qing and others were very solemn. They discovered the specialness of these card cultivators. The ten assassin card repairmen are a great deal no matter where they are placed!

Who are their targets?

The two Assassin Ka Xiu half-twisted their bodies strangely and pounced on Rong Ming. Facing two assassins Ka Xiu at the same time, even Rong Ming did not dare to be careless.

Another card repairman pounced on Luo Qing from all directions, and an assassin card repairer pounced on Chen Mu. Two card cultivators entangled Jiang Shan and Huo Jiang on the field, and one assassinated the card cultivator to suppress the others. The remaining three card cultivators went straight towards the people in Taishu City!

The corners of Chen Mu's eyes twitched, and he immediately realized that the target of this group of assassins, Kaxiu, was his uncle's house!

At this time, there was no time to think about why these assassin card cultivators targeted Taishu's family. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that there was only Xu Jia next to the three brothers of Taishu's family, and not a single card cultivator.

Seeing the assassin Ka Xiu heading towards him, Chen Mu's mind was surprisingly calm.

The other party wants to capture them alive! With just a glance from the corner of his eye, he understood the purpose of the three assassins Ka Xiu. If the opponent wants to kill a few of them, it can be easily solved with just a few wave blades.

Suddenly, Chen Mu closed his eyes, and the monotonous and mysterious world of perception appeared again.

Distance, angle, direction...

Chen Mu seemed to grasp the opponent's attack direction in an instant! It's an amazing feeling - so intuitive! The intuition is stronger than when I fought with Baroga just now! He seemed to know every possible attack method of the opponent.

This feeling shocked Chen Mu. It was strange, but very unreasonable! But these intuitions were so strong that Chen Mu had to believe their authenticity. When fighting Barojia, he had a similar intuition, but it was far less strong and far less clear than this time.

Fighting relying on intuition, is this the way Caesar fights? This sentence flashed through my mind for no reason.

Before he could react, he was shocked to find that the cyan energy sword whip in his hand, driven by strong intuition, was subconsciously inserted into the opponent's heart at a very strange angle.

The masked card repairman's eyes protruded and he looked at the bloody hole in his chest in disbelief. All this happened so fast, less than a second, and the three assassination card repairmen hadn't even touched Taishu Cheng and the others.

In that perceptual world composed of countless lines, Chen Mu was stimulated by an extremely strong intuition, which was extremely real. There was no pause, as if his body was out of his control at this moment. Subconsciously, the energy whip spit out and stretched out like a snake letter, narrowly grazing Xu Jiaxue's white neck. The tip of the energy whip swung in circles, and the eyes of the three card cultivators in mid-air shrank sharply, and their speed stagnated slightly.

The three of them had a tacit understanding. Ka Xiu in the middle shouted loudly, his hands were covered with a layer of purple light, and he suddenly grabbed the light blue energy whip. The other two people remained unchanged and rushed towards the Taishu City people!

However, an extremely strange scene occurred!

The finger-thick energy whip retracted suddenly. Before the three assassins Ka Xiu had time to react, they had already caught the four of them and pulled them back violently! The four people in Taishu City were so frightened that they all looked pale and it was difficult not to scream.

The three assassins, Ka Xiu, were horrified. The opponent's control of energy was incredible and breathtaking! Rarely, there was a chill in their hearts. In the short confrontation, the opponent was like a brilliant chess player, gaining the upper hand in every move. Unknowingly, they had lost control of the rhythm.

Naturally, the three of them would not give up easily. Ka Xiu in the middle snorted, and the purple light in his hand came out and shot towards Taishu City! The speed of the other two people increased sharply, and they rushed towards the four people in mid-air. However, the moment Ka Xiu made his move, the energy whip shook slightly, and the four people who were pulled into the air suddenly staggered slightly in mid-air.

The purple light rubbed Taishu Cheng's ears, and passed through the gap between the four people.

The face of the card repairman in the middle changed slightly, but a successful smile immediately appeared in his eyes. Because of such a little delay, the hands of his other two companions were able to quickly catch these four people. The two people couldn't hide the joy in their eyes. They simply ignored Xu Jia and arrested the three people from Taishu City.

Suddenly, a warning sign suddenly appeared in the two people's hearts, and two green edges suddenly lit up under their feet. They were immediately distraught and retreated hastily.

When did he lurk beneath their feet? They didn't notice it at all, and they could no longer hide the horror in their eyes.

Poof!

Two green lights appeared on the way they were retreating, and the two of them bumped into each other! The two people's hearts were pierced at the same time, and two blood flowers burst out in mid-air!

The remaining card repairman was completely stunned by the scene in front of him! As an assassin Ka Xiu, he has experienced countless battles and seen countless powerful Ka Xiu, but no one has ever brought him such deep fear!

Yes, it's fear!

When every move you make is expected by the other person, and everything about you has no secrets in the eyes of the other person, this kind of fear is enough to make you collapse!

He looked at the man in front of him in horror and stepped back step by step. He was scared! The fear rising deep in his heart made him unable to help but want to distance himself from the man in front of him. He exerted force suddenly and backed away like crazy.

Poof, a piece of green light spit out from his chest, and his body still retreated without losing its strength. He lowered his head and looked at his chest with frightened eyes in disbelief.

The long energy sword whip lay quietly on the ground and extended to his back. As if the opponent expected that he would retreat, a section of the energy sword whip that extended behind him folded up from the ground, and the sharp tip was pointed quietly at his back.

Then, he retreated quickly and bumped into himself...

The green edge suddenly disintegrated, and the card repairer who lost his support fell softly to the ground with a plop. The last thought in his mind was that he finally no longer had to face this devil!

The four people in Taishu City fell to the ground softly, their eyes showing deep fear. This sudden change scared them silly.

Chen Mu stood quietly beside the four of them. On the white mask, the two black lines winding down were cold and mysterious. No card cultivator dared to approach Chen Mu again. Such an efficient and unpredictable method made all assassination card cultivators fearful.

"withdraw!"

I don't know who gave the order, and Ka Xiu, who had long wanted to leave, wanted to withdraw. With such a person here, they all know that tonight's mission has failed.

"It's not that easy to leave!" Rong Ming snorted coldly and circled his hands again. The movements of the two card cultivators in front of him immediately slowed down, and their eyes were horrified. Before they could react, two rays of light flashed away, and two very thin lines of blood appeared on their necks.

Luo Qing waved her hands, and a pink energy mist enveloped Ka Xiu in front of her. The face of the assassin Ka Xiu in the energy mist suddenly became distorted, and the wave blade in his hand suddenly shot towards his face. Snapped! The light blade hit his face and he fell on his back.

The remaining card cultivators saw the situation was bad and quietly retreated.

Chen Mu did not pursue him, and Rong Ming and Luo Qing had no intention of pursuing him.

In the stands, screams could be heard one after another, and there were injured guests everywhere. But everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on one person, the man wearing the mask.

Their eyes were so complicated, and a hint of fear could be seen vaguely.
