Chapter 74 The Real Heroes Meeting
However, after everyone drove away the fake Wu Jianming, the calls for the appearance of the real disciple of Ghost Hand became even louder, wave after wave, and the crowd was surging.
Mo Juren had agreed with the Fourth Lady at the time that he would show up at the right time, but no one knew exactly when.
The Fourth Madam looked embarrassed, and Mo Yuhuan, who was standing behind her and dressed in a dashing men's outfit, looked even more anxious.
Just as the fourth lady stood up and had to go to the stage to host the event, she heard another loud laugh that shook the entire audience.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
A ghostly figure appeared out of nowhere, first jumped onto the stone tablet covered with cloth at the side of the ring, then dodged twice, and at an incredible speed, passed through the crowded outer disciple area and the inner table area filled with masters, and appeared directly on the ring.
Such ghostly movements were just as rumored before. After witnessing it with his own eyes, Bai Linghai on the stage quickly put his gun behind his back and carefully observed this newly emerged master.
Zhang Tie on the stage still looked like a teenager of about sixteen or seventeen, but after some decoration by Madam Wu, he changed into a knight's robe embroidered with gold and indigo, and wore soap-colored long boots with red bottoms. His temperament was more elegant than when he came out of Qixuanmen.
In addition, his sturdy build, standing like a pine or cypress, and his impressive and heroic spirit make up for his unremarkable appearance.
When veteran martial arts experts like Bai Linghai saw the strength Zhang Tie displayed, they knew that this man was not comparable to Wu Jianming and his ilk.
Mo Juren stood on the stage and said in a voice that could be heard by the whole audience:
"I'm sorry I'm late. I didn't expect the fight to have already started. Without further ado, I'd like to ask this old hero for some advice."
Mo Juren actually recognized this person. He used to be under Ma Kongtian and was promoted by Ma Kongtian. Although he was not young, his martial arts skills were quite good. Unfortunately, he had left the Jingjiao Society and set up his own faction.
But Beringhai is also a veteran, and he doesn't want to be the touchstone first, so he said quickly,
"Young man, you are too polite. I am only here to chase away a few ignorant little ants. Today is your home court. How can I take the spotlight from a little hero like you? I will return the stage to you. Let everyone get to know the demeanor of the true disciple of Ghost Hand Mo Juren first."
After these words, Beringhai jumped off the stage with full justification and did not lose face.
Seeing that Bai Linghai was quite sensible, Mo Juren let him go without further harassing him, and then shouted to the audience,
"My dear friends, good men, and heroes, we are grateful for your presence today and for coming to attend our Heroes' Meeting. I am Zhang Tie, a disciple of the leader of the Jing Jiao Society, Mo Juren. I have been ordered by my master to join the Mo Clan in Jiayuan City for two purposes."
"First, it is to revive the Jing Jiao Society. I believe that everyone in the audience has fought together under the command of my master Mo Juren, and now has left the Jing Jiao Society for various reasons. We will not pursue the reasons. But from now on, everyone will see a brand new Jing Jiao Society that can make the members return to their hearts and make the foreign enemies terrified!"
When everyone in the audience heard this, except for the people from Jingjiao Society who were a little excited, the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been accustomed to giving orders for so many years, so who would be willing to return to Jingjiao Society and be ordered around?
But in someone else's home turf, everyone remained calm and did not speak out against it.
Mo Juren continued,
"Secondly, this is the highlight of today. During the ten years that my master Mo Juren has been in seclusion, not only has his martial arts improved, but he has also accidentally found a treasure, which is the Iron Yellow Essence that everyone has been thinking about..."
The audience was shocked when they heard this, and they shouted,
"Where's the stuff? Show it to everyone!"
"Young Master Zhang Tie, quickly take out the Iron Yellow Essence and let everyone see it!"
Mo Juren raised his voice and said,
"I know everyone is anxious, but please don't be anxious. This Heroes' Gathering is held just for this Iron Yellow Essence. My master said that this precious medicine is naturally formed and cannot be enjoyed by one person alone. I offer this treasure as an opportunity to give everyone in Jiayuan City a chance to improve their martial arts!" The crowd cheered loudly.
"Boss Mo is so generous!"
"Boss Mo is mighty!"
"Be public-spirited and do good!"
"Righteous spirit!"
Mo Juren took advantage of this momentum, took out the iron yellow essence in his arms, held it high in his hand, and continued,
"The rules of this Heroes' Contest arena are very simple. Whoever can defeat my sword will get this precious medicine!"
The crowd below the stage was instantly excited, feeling that the man on the stage was too arrogant and underestimated the heroes in the city. Most of them began to get ready and were eager to give it a try.
The reason why Mo Juren was so confident was actually because he had competed for the top spot in the Lanzhou martial arts world ten years ago. The only ones who could be considered his rivals were the "Angry Lion" Ouyang Feitian who dominated the villa, and Li Shizhuo, the leader of the Five Colors Sect.
Now, with the Elephant Armor Skill, a method of cultivating the immortal body, and the Blinking Sword, a perfect match, he believes that his martial arts skills are even better than before, so he is so fearless.
So he didn't care about the doubts from the audience and continued,
"But! No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, you can't withstand a huge army, so there are only five chances to fight! The identity of the challenger can be discussed, based on seniority, or jointly nominated. If you are not convinced by the challenger's strength, you must compete on the spot first, and the winner will fight again! After five times, if I succeed in defending the ring, this treasure will belong to the Jingjiao Club, and I will be at your disposal. Are you satisfied?"
The people in the audience began to discuss and interpret the rule, thinking about how they could get the most benefit.
Later, a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar jumped onto the stage first and bowed to Mo Juren,
"I am Li Changsheng from the Golden Sword Sect. I cannot say that my martial arts skills are the best in Jiayuan City, but I am confident that I can be ranked in the top ten. I will take the first prize and learn from Young Master Zhang's martial arts skills. What do you think?"
The last sentence was shouted to the audience, and everyone cheered. They probably thought that this man's martial arts was the most suitable to be the pioneer. He had the right strength and they were not afraid that he would seize the treasure in one fell swoop. So they all thought of watching the game first, and no one objected.
So Mo Juren said to him in a pretentious manner,
"Hahaha, very good, since you are the first one to come up, I will give you preferential treatment and ensure your life is safe!"
Li Changsheng sneered and said disdainfully,
"Young man, please stop saying useless and harsh words and show your true colors with your own hands!"
After saying that, Li Changsheng held the golden sword in his hand, swung a sword flower, and attacked Mo Juren at a tricky angle.
Although the Golden Sword Sect's martial arts focus on appearance, Li Changsheng is still a first-rate master and his martial arts skills are not weak.
