on the stage, the battle was still ongoing, and it was getting more and more violent.
the battle between the martial arts grandmasters attracted everyone's attention, for fear of missing any details.
many martial artists were watching with a heart of awe, wanting to comprehend something from it.
however, a battle between grandmasters was too fast, and most of the moves looked simple and unadorned.
it was very difficult to comprehend any profound mysteries from it.
long chen was able to see some of the profoundness, but their martial arts techniques were not very effective on him.
although long chen's path was martial arts, it was higher than martial arts.
"long chen, who do you think will win?"
yang su asked in a low voice.
long chen shook his head and said, " their strengths are very similar. their internal energy is also similar. it all depends on who makes the first mistake. "
it looks like hua qingfeng is much calmer. if i have to say it, i think hua qingfeng has a higher chance of winning."
" you're right, " ye mo said. " on the martial king ranking, hua qingfeng is ranked third and zhantai dao is ranked fifth. in private, i think zhantai dao is a challenger. therefore, this battle is not only for the position of alliance leader, but also for the ranking. if senior hua qingfeng loses, his ranking will change and be replaced by zhantai dao. "
yang su said softly.
long chen said.
"that's for sure," "no matter who becomes the alliance leader, it won't be good for us," yang su said.
as the two of them were talking in low voices, the battle between the two grandmasters on the stage quickly turned into a white heat and then ended quickly. neither of them made a move. they were a few meters away when they suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
then, zhantai dao cupped his fists and said with a smile, " " no wonder you're ranked third on the martial king board, brother hua. i'm still a step behind as the fifth. you've won this battle. under your leadership, the martial alliance will definitely prosper and lead the martial arts of the south to the peak. "
"no, no," " brother zhantai, " hua qingfeng said with a smile as he sheathed his sword. " you're indispensable to the martial league. with you, the martial league will become stronger. "
"haha, then let's work hard together to strengthen the martial alliance."
zhantai dao laughed as he approached hua qingfeng and reached out to shake his hand.
"brother zhantai, i hope that martial league will be able to achieve great things in the future."
hua qingfeng extended his hand with a smile.
the moment the two hands touched, hua qingfeng's expression changed.
pfft.
then, hua qingfeng spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"brother hua, what's wrong with you?"
zhantai dao's expression changed drastically, and he quickly went to help hua qingfeng.
"you ... you ..."
hua qingfeng opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
but before he could finish his sentence, hua qingfeng suddenly stopped breathing.
everyone's expression changed drastically at the sight.
a martial arts grandmaster, ranked third on the martial king roll, had died just like that.
how did he die?
many people rushed to the stage and stood beside hua qingfeng.
many people sighed as they looked at hua qingfeng, who had stopped breathing.
long chen also went on stage. he pushed through the crowd and squatted down beside hua qingfeng.
after taking a closer look, long chen immediately confirmed the cause of hua qingfeng's death.
he had been poisoned, and his blood was sealed.
the poison had just been administered.
hua qingfeng had been fighting against zhantai dao, so it was obvious that the person who had poisoned him was zhantai dao.
in order to successfully become the alliance leader, zhantai dao did not hesitate to use underhanded methods to kill hua qingfeng.
long chen thought back to the whole process and recalled the way zhantai dao had taken the initiative to shake hands with hua qingfeng.
the poison had erupted in that instant.
it was only at that moment when hua qingfeng was completely unguarded that zhantai dao's plan succeeded.
long chen turned his head and looked at the tearful zhan tai. his eyes became extremely cold.
this old thing was indeed not a kind person.
" brother hua, without you, how could martial league have grown? how could you have passed away so suddenly, leaving behind such a huge mess? who could have cleaned it up? "
zhantai dao cried. his expression was full of sorrow and pain.
" senior zhantai, fairy hua is no longer around. although it's a heartache, someone has to clean up the mess. you are definitely qualified to lead the martial league. senior zhantai, please take charge of the overall situation. "
a young man was kneeling on one knee with a respectful expression.
"senior zhantai, please take charge of the overall situation."
the others immediately agreed.
then, everyone agreed to let zhantai dao become the martial league's chief.
zhantai dao waved his hand and said seriously, " " i don't know if everyone can see that brother hua was poisoned. this kind of poison is extremely brutal. the real murderer must still be at the scene. we must find him. "
"senior zhantai is right. i also think that senior hua has been poisoned."
"we must catch the murderer."
"you're really audacious to poison someone in this kind of situation."
the crowd was furious and clenched their fists.
zhantai dao took a deep breath. his eyes slowly shifted to long chen.
everyone was stunned when they saw where zhantai dao was looking.
could the murderer be long chen?
zhantai dao deliberately squatted for a while before he spoke, " " long chen, you're not a member of martial league, and you're the only one here who has the motive to kill. "
"oh?"
long chen smiled.
he had to admit that zhantai dao was indeed sinister and his skin was thicker than the city wall.
"what do you mean by" oh?"i don't know what the motive is, but everyone knows."
"tell me, how did you poison senior hua?" zhantai dao asked seriously.
"it's long chen."
"i also think he's the most suspicious."
"not just him, the yang family must have a share too."
in an instant, many hostile gazes drowned long chen and the yang family.
" it can't be long chen! " yang su's expression was serious. " he has never met senior hua before. he has never seen him before tonight. "
"i say, miss yang, your words are a little naive. money can make the ghost turn the millstone. killing someone doesn't necessarily have to be done by yourself, and it doesn't necessarily have to be met, right?"
zhantai dao was expressionless.
"you ..."
yang su's face turned pale with anger. " you want to punish someone? "
" this isn't a false accusation. we all know that. long chen, if you're a man, just admit it. if you do, i'll think more highly of you. "
zhantai dao's voice was raised.
long chen smiled and said, " that's right. i killed him. now, i'll tell you my ultimate move. if you're interested, you can remember it. it might be useful in the future. "
i took advantage of the fact that i had just finished fighting with hua qingfeng, and the outcome of the battle had not been decided yet, so i admitted defeat and then flattered him to make him lower his guard.
after that, i pretended to shake his hand and supported him to take the position of alliance leader. his vigilance was thus reduced to the minimum. the moment i shook his hand, i pierced his acupuncture points with golden needles to spread the poison. no matter how strong his true qi was, there was nothing he could do.
everyone, what do you think? is my method good?"
"nonsense! when did you fight with hua qingfeng? you ..."
zhantai dao immediately reacted after saying a few words.
long chen wasn't talking about him, he was talking about himself.
the others also understood what he meant and started to discuss among themselves. they all looked at zhantai.
zhantai dao was stunned for a moment, then he said loudly, " " everyone, don't listen to this man's nonsense. he's just trying to frame me after he saw that the matter has been exposed. i'm on the same side as you. if you don't even trust me, then i have nothing to say. i'm willing to leave the martial alliance unconditionally. i don't care if i'm the alliance leader or not. i don't want people to say that i killed hua qingfeng to take the position. i, zhantai dao, am a famous figure in the martial arts world. i can't afford to lose face like this. "
" senior zhantai is right. i believe that you are not that kind of person. "
"i also believe in you, senior."
" senior, the murderer is definitely not you, but it should be someone else. long chen did not come into contact with senior hua. senior hua has disappeared for a long time. he only appeared in the qian prefecture last night, and i was the one who went to meet him. i am sure of this. "
one of the men said sternly.
these words were also considered fair.
but zhantai dao didn't like to hear such fair words.
"i have to tell you seriously that you have to know who your friend is. don't be blind when you speak and do things.
this long chen is not our friend. i suggest that we suppress him and get an answer from him. we can't let senior hua die in vain."
zhantai dao spoke righteously and continued to pressure long chen.
