Chapter 2560: First meeting with the city lord, unexpected!
Chapter 2560: First meeting with the city lord, unexpected!
Early in the morning, Ling Tian walked out of the house, facing the sunshine, a smile on his lips.
Thinking that today would be the day that would decide everything, he couldn't help but feel excited, and at the same time, he became extremely curious about everything that would happen today.
After all, in today's martial arts competition, if the city lord can be successfully removed from office, Ling Tian will be one step closer to the central city and one step closer to returning home.
This also caused Ling Tian to be more excited than ever before, and he couldn't help but smile.
Just as Ling Tian was looking at the sky in thought, Lin Qi also came out and looked at Ling Tian and said, "Brother, how many games can I play today?"
Hearing this, Ling Tian simply chuckled, "I'll let you fight three rounds in a row without any problem, but haven't you yet completely mastered your sword intent? Aren't you afraid of losing if you go on stage now?"
"It's okay to lose." Lin Qi shrugged. "If I were afraid of losing, I wouldn't let Big Brother give me a chance to test myself. And if I lose the game and something unexpected happens, isn't Big Brother here to cover me? I'm not afraid, hehe~"
Lin Qi finished speaking with a silly smile on his face, while Ling Tian rolled his eyes and said, "You seem to trust me quite a bit."
"Of course I do! I've been with Big Brother for so long, and I know he doesn't want me to get hurt, right?"
After hearing this, Ling Tian smiled helplessly and nodded, then turned around and said, "Alright, let's stop talking about this nonsense. According to Captain Qi, the martial arts competition starts at 1 pm. We still have a few hours. Let's prepare. You should also relax a little and don't be too nervous."
"Okay, big brother! I won't let you down today!"
The two returned to the house together and prepared for today.
On the other hand, Ling Tian looked towards the door from time to time, actually waiting in his heart to see whether Yuzhe and Xiaohao would show up.
After all, the task Ling Tian assigned to them sounded relatively simple, but the difficulty involved was not something that a low-level warrior like Yuzhe could handle.
However, as time passed, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning, and Yuzhe and Xiaohao still did not show up.
Just when Ling Tian was wondering whether Yuzhe and Xiaohao were in danger, the door was pushed open and a strange man appeared at the door.
Seeing him, Lin Qi's eyes flashed with doubt, but Ling Tian said calmly: "Captain Qi asked you to come?"
"Yes, Mr. Ling." The man nodded. "Captain Qi asked me to take you there. It's almost time now, so we can go now or we'll be late. Besides, Mr. Lin has a match today, so he has to choose his opponent."
"Row."
After hearing the man's words, Ling Tian agreed and asked Lin Qi to pack up. Then they left the residence together.
Today's martial arts competition is held in the suburbs. It is obviously arranged here to prevent their confrontation from affecting the city.
The venue for the martial arts competition is a huge arena, as big as three football fields, which allows the warriors to fight freely.
There are rows of spectator seats around the arena, but because there are no protective measures, there are more warriors in the spectator seats for today's martial arts competition, and there are not many ordinary citizens.
Finally, there are five chairs on a high platform right in front of the arena. Captain Qi said two days ago that this is prepared for the city lord and the four protectors, and it is also the most important position in this martial arts competition.
After observing his surroundings, Ling Tian sat in the audience seats under the guidance of the man.
After sitting down, Ling Tian took a quick look and found that among these audiences, there were more people in the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Heaven-Shaking Realm, there were about forty or fifty in the Unity Realm, and there were only three in the Saint Realm, and all three were in the early stage of the Saint Realm.
From this we can see that the combat power of the entire Licheng is actually far greater than that of Weicheng. If the rest of the monsters and the city lord are added, Weicheng will definitely be crushed. It is estimated that Weicheng can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Ling Tian finally understood why Jiujiu didn't let him come over.
If he had not known the situation here at that time, and had started looking for a passage after rushing into the city and defeated all those who blocked his way, he would have eventually died in Licheng.
On the other hand, now, with Jiujiu's help and Captain Qi's arrangements, it can be said that today is the best chance to bring down the city lord.
Now it depends on whether the city lord will show up.
While Ling Tian was thinking, he suddenly felt someone touching him.
The strange touch made Ling Tian turn his head and he found that Yuzhe and Xiaohao were looking at him with smiles.
Seeing an acquaintance, Ling Tian hurriedly asked, "How is it? Will the City Lord show up today?"
Hearing this, Yuzhe nodded and said, "He will appear. Mr. Ling, although I haven't found the City Lord's hiding place these days, I have found the locations of the four Dharma protectors. All four of them will appear at the scene today, and the City Lord will definitely be no exception."
After hearing Yuzhe's words, although Ling Tian was still a little worried, at least he had gained some knowledge. At least it meant that there was a possibility that the city lord would appear.
So Ling Tian nodded, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "You guys sit here and watch the game together. It will also allow Xiao Hao to see some real warriors."
"Okay, Mr. Ling."
Yuzhe naturally agreed to Ling Tian's proposal, and then pulled Xiaohao to sit next to Ling Tian.
After the two sat down, Xiao Hao looked around curiously, while Ling Tian was sensing the whole process.
Until 12:40, the entire area around the ring was instantly filled with noise as people around stood up and cheered, and raised their heads.
Ling Tian looked up following their movements and saw four pairs of wings appear in the air. Although he couldn't see their appearance clearly, it was enough to tell that these four monsters were quite large in size, and as the others said, they were indeed four adult monsters.
Four monsters landed on the platform from the sky and then transformed into human form. Four handsome men sat on the platform, leaving the largest chair in the middle empty.
This action made Ling Tian slightly stunned. He then looked at Yu Zhe on the side and said, "Didn't they say that the City Lord would appear? Wouldn't the City Lord appear with these four guardians?"
"It has appeared." Yuzhe shook his head: "Mr. Ling, please take a look."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ling Tian looked over in confusion and found that a beautiful figure had appeared on the chair in the middle at some point.
The other person had a delicate appearance, with long white hair draped over her shoulders and a red dress that concealed her figure. The woman was looking quietly ahead.
Upon seeing the other party, Ling Tian was slightly stunned, his eyes full of confusion as he asked: "This... is this the City Lord?"
