Uncle Huber thought about it carefully and found that this was the truth. There was no insistence there. Zhou Jin's real reason for stopping him was not what he said. Zhou Jin thought clearly that Ming Zhao was killed by himself when there was no one around. No one here in Black Rock City found out, and the "Lord" was not present at the time, so he would definitely not know the truth, and there would be no way to trace it. If Uncle Hu went to arrest Mingluo and attracted the attention of the "Lord", That would bring yourself into big trouble. The strength of that "Lord" is unpredictable. If someone comes to kill him, Zhou Jin doesn't know if the Zhou family can compete with him, so he must be cautious and there is no need to create additional complications. Although the Zhou family was worried about Ming Zhao's disappearance, the preparations for the city lord's competition had been carried out in an orderly manner. Uncle Huber did not notice it, and neither did the Zhou family. In the past, Ming Zhao was required to manage such affairs. In a sense Shang Mingzhao is the backbone, and everyone regards Mingzhao as the real young master. But during these days of confinement, the Zhou family left Mingzhao and everything was running normally. Everyone suddenly discovered that without Mingzhao, everything was the same. And Zhou Jin¡¯s achievements gradually changed the hearts of the Zhou family. The former playboy became a real young master in their hearts, and Zhou Jin became the future pillar and hope of the Zhou family. The head of the family, Zhou Yang, sent someone over to ask Zhou Jin to prepare. Tomorrow¡¯s city lord competition will definitely require father and son to attend together. Zhou Jin has been claiming to be recovering from his injuries, and at this time, it is natural for him to "recover from his injuries." Although Zhou Yang, the head of the Zhou family, was absolutely confident that he would win the martial arts competition tomorrow, he was still very cautious and practiced alone. The preparations that everyone in the Zhou family should have completed had been completed. Zhou Jin, who had returned from injury, was relaxed, but this leisure was not It lasted too long, and the eldest lady of the Meng family, Meng Xinxin, came. After the night Zhou Jin was assassinated by Yu Langjun, he stayed at home in the name of recovering from his injuries. He didn't even see Meng Xinxin when he came to visit. The two sides had just developed a secret relationship, and it was really hard not to see each other for such a long time. The reason for not meeting each other was to make sure that when Ming Zhao was ambushed, everyone thought that he was still recovering at home. Now that the purpose was achieved, there was no need to continue to disappear. Moreover, after not seeing each other for such a long time, Zhou Jin also missed Meng Xinxin a little. , Zhou Jin had such a relationship with a woman for the first time. Meng Xinxin was directly invited into the house by Uncle Hu. After seeing Zhou Jin, she didn't know what to say for a moment. The young master of the Zhou family and the eldest daughter of the Meng family were thinking about each other when they didn't meet, and felt that they had a lot to say. I told the other person, but when I really saw the other person, I was speechless. The two people looked at each other there, then lowered their heads, then raised their heads again, smiling awkwardly, but they didn't know what to say. Uncle Hubby on the side saw this scene and stepped back knowingly, not to disturb the warm meeting of the couple. Uncle Huber left, and Zhou Jin finally remembered what to say. He leaned close to Meng Xinxin's ear, and Miss Meng's face suddenly turned red. It was the first time that the two of them were so close. They were shy, but Miss Meng did not hide away. . "Ming Zhao has been killed by me." Zhou Jin said softly. He told Meng Xinxin about Ming Zhao's drugging. Sooner or later, after Ming Zhao disappeared, the other party would think of it. There was no need to hide anything. It was better to tell the truth. Meng Xinxin didn't expect Zhou Jin to say this. She was stunned at first, then shocked. She tilted her head and looked at Zhou Jin in disbelief. Although she had never fought against Ming Zhao, Meng Xinxin was defeated by Qiu Wenwei with one move, and Qiu Wenwei was defeated with one move by Ming Zhao. The differences between each other are well known. Moreover, in order to deal with Ming Zhao, Zhou Jin specially asked his ancestor to take action. It would take a strong man like Meng Xu, the ancestor of the Meng family, to take action against Ming Zhao. It is easy to imagine how powerful Ming Zhao is, but how could this perfect and outstanding person suddenly appear? The strong man was eliminated by Zhou Jin himself? The eldest lady of the Meng family didn't think Zhou Jin was lying. The method of drugging that Zhou Jin told her was so wonderful that even a master of poisoning like her would be amazed. If Ming Zhao is dealt with according to that method, coupled with Zhou Jin's own progress, So fast, it's really possible. She wanted to think about it, but the eldest lady of the Meng family couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou, is it true?" "Of course it is true." When Zhou Jin answered this sentence, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, It's really nice to show off in front of your lover. Meng Xinxin blinked and suddenly said, "Did senior Mo Changshan help?" In order to explain the changes in his body, Zhou Jin used the long-dead top powerhouse Mo Changshan as an excuse. Unexpectedly, Meng Xinxin remembered it so clearly. Anyone would think so. For a strong man like Mo Changshan, the Lord of Snow Mountain and Ice Sea, to deal with Ming Zhao was as easy as crushing an ant. Zhou Jin laughed dryly and changed the subject. He asked: "Xinxin, how are your family's preparations for tomorrow's competition?" Meng Xinxin said with a smile: "Our family is not very prepared. Anyway, my dad will fight hard tomorrow. Qiu Zhenggang of the Qiu family, then just lose to his uncle.?, what else is needed to prepare for this? ¡± The Meng family also saw the strength of Zhou Yang, the head of the Zhou family, at the celebration. With such strength, the position of the city lord is certain and there is no suspense. Because of this, the head of the Meng family, Meng Zongyuan, is very relaxed. Zhou Yang will definitely win anyway. Just go up and have a formality. The next day, Blackstone City was decorated with lights and decorations to determine the city lord. It was the most important and grand event for Blackstone City, because the decision of the city lord was also closely related to the Five Cities Alliance. Therefore, the leaders of the Five Cities Alliance and the city lords of other cities have to come to watch the competition. Although the heads of each family will try their best, this competition is like a festival to the common people of Black Rock City, with lights and colors everywhere, and vendors shouting and selling. The whole family was visiting, and there were even tourists from outside the city. The venue for the competition was in the square in the city. Compared to the lively and festive scene in the city, it was much quieter and more solemn. The guards of the three major families had put the area under martial law, and everyone was there. The intersections were blocked by warriors. The major families and distinguished guests from various cities and towns had arranged corresponding seats on the sidelines. For a competition at this level of the three masters, there was no need to build an arena. They just circled it as much as possible. Zhou Jin and his father Zhou Yang came here first. In this venue, only the head of the family and the young master were qualified to sit in the front row, while the other elders and others could only sit in the back. On the right side of the house, Meng Zongyuan, the head of the Meng family, Meng Dasheng and Meng Xinxin arrived in the second batch. The two parties greeted each other politely. Although they had a tacit understanding in private, they still had to go through the motions to save face. Meng Xu, the ancestor of the Meng family, also When they arrived at the scene, the Zhou family's father and son stood up to greet him. The ancestor of the Meng family was sitting in the second row of the Meng family's seats. He was the only one in the second row. The elders of the Meng family were sitting in the back, but the Meng family had not yet arrived. Dasheng was more relaxed and leaned over to Zhou Jin and said, "The Qiu family knew they couldn't beat Uncle Zhou, so they must have given up in fear! " "Don't be rude. "Meng Zongyuan scolded, and Meng Xinxin said from the side: "As the head of the family, even if he abstains, he still has to come to watch the battle. There is no way he will not come. " Wen Tiannian, the leader of the Five Cities Alliance, and the other four city lords also arrived. The two sides were scheming in private, but on the surface they were still polite. The Zhou family and the Meng family both stood up and saluted. Wen Tiannian even took the initiative to come over and talk to Meng, the ancestor of the Meng family. Xu said hello, but Zhou Jin sensitively noticed that although the leader Wen Tiannian was smiling, his eyes were extremely cold when he glanced at him. As for the new Lord of Jade City, Wu Jinbiao, he was even more unconcealed. Staring at Zhou Jin with hatred on his face, the alliance leaders and city lords sat down, and the heads of aristocratic families and individual masters from other cities sat behind. What surprised Zhou Jin was that Northern Territory Blue Harbor also sent people. Now, Northern Blue Harbor has sent a man in his thirties, wearing a black robe. There is a blue edge on the hem and cuffs of the robe. After arriving, from the alliance leader Wen Tiannian to the heads of the families below, They all greeted him politely, and then sat in the front row. When he heard that he was the representative from Northern Territory Blue Harbor, Zhou Jin immediately paid attention. This man was called Manager Zhang, and his status was not too high. Moreover, Zhou Jin It can also be heard that the voice of this steward is completely different from that of the "Lord", and it does not have the shocking style. Zhou Jin noticed that although everyone in the room greeted him, the leader Wen Tiannian and the others did not. The attitude of the city lords of each city is very cold, as if they don't want to get close to each other. Although the status of the steward is not high, his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant when facing nobles such as the alliance leader, city lord and family leader, not to mention that he sits so far forward. At Zhou Jin's attention, the head of the family, Zhou Yang, whispered: "Do you know why Wen Tiannian is so anxious to capture the five cities? Now Northern Territory Lankang is getting more and more involved in the five cities. Even the matter of deciding the city owner has to send people to participate. Wen Tiannian regards the five cities as his own territory. He will definitely not feel comfortable in his heart. But what can he do? Yulan Port is simply too strong. "Father, will the people from Blue Harbor in the Northern Territory interfere with the ownership of this city lord?" "Zhou Jin asked. "Of course not. Northern Blue Harbor just wants to show its existence. They don't want Wen Tiannian to integrate the five cities to fight against them. They don't care about the individual cities. As long as we and them When doing business, just be a vassal. "The head of the family, Zhou Yang, explained with a smile. "This statement is similar to Zhou Jin's own analysis. A big force like Northern Blue Harbor has no interest in annexing the Five Cities Alliance, but it also doesn't want the Five Cities Alliance to integrate together and oppose him. Zhou Jinggang When I was about to speak, I suddenly felt something. I turned my head and looked aside. The Qiu family had arrived. They were secretly fighting each other for life and death. On this occasion, everyone was doing well on the surface. The Qiu family entered, and the Meng family and the Zhou family arrived. And the distinguished guests from outside all greeted each other. Everyone was doing it normally, and there was no difference from before.nbsp;Many people in the venue noticed that Ming Zhao did not come. Although everyone did not ask, there was a lot of whispering, but they did not talk for too long. During this period, Zhou Jin's reputation became more and more powerful, and everyone felt that This is only natural. The most outstanding young man in the family has a foreign surname. Zhou Jin has been paying attention to the manager surnamed Zhang in Blue Harbor in the North Territory, always taking precautions in case of emergencies. However, this manager Zhang did it in a regular manner, and it was hard to see who he paid special attention to. It seemed that he came to Black Rock City just as a formality. Before the competition, an elder in the city said a few opening words. It was just that this competition was for the prosperity of Black Rock City. Everyone should stop it and not hurt the harmony. He also talked about the rules of the competition. This is also very important. It's simple. The three heads of the family fight against each other, and the two heads who win two games have another battle to decide the city leader. Waiting for the elder to finish, the martial arts contest began. As planned, the first contest was between Meng Zongyuan of the Meng family and Qiu Zhenggang, the head of the Qiu family. Meng Zongyuan, the head of the Meng family, nodded and smiled in the direction of the Zhou family, then stood up and went on stage. This attitude was very clear. I will definitely do what I promised in advance. The head of the Zhou family, Zhou Yang, sat there confidently, and said with a smile: "Lao Meng and Lao Qiu have similar foundations. It's just that Lao Qiu's flame technique has restraint on the Meng family's poison technique, but it doesn't take hundreds of moves." It¡¯s hard to tell¡± Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang¡¯s expression became serious, and Zhou Jin, who was listening relaxedly, realized something was wrong earlier! On the side of the Meng family's seat, Meng Xu, the ancestor of the Meng family, said "Huh" in a very surprised tone. The level of martial arts can be seen in many details, such as a person's behavior and demeanor. Qiu Zheng, the head of the Qiu family, just stood up and entered. His steps were filled with a chilling air, which was shocking. Except for some people who saw it, he was originally somewhat The noisy venue immediately became extremely quiet the moment Qiu Zheng stood up, and everyone was shocked by this momentum. "No, Qiu Zhenggang's martial arts realm cannot be so high!" Zhou Yang exclaimed in a low voice. Zhou Jin could also see that the head of the Qiu family's martial arts realm had made a big breakthrough at this time. But Zhou Jin noticed other details. The master of the family, Zhou Yang, and the ancestor of the Meng family, Meng Xu, had enough martial arts realm to sense the difference between Qiu Zhenggang. Among the people watching the battle, there was another person who also had this realm, that is, the alliance leader Wen Tiannian, but He kept smiling without any change in his expression. You must know that a martial artist of Qiu Zhenggang's level suddenly increased his strength. No one would be shocked by such unbelievable things. Wen Tiannian was so calm, it was obvious that he knew about it. Although the young master of the Qiu family, Qiu Wenwei, has a gloomy face, he does not look excited or excited. The son will definitely know about the blood relationship between father and son, and the changes in his father. Qiu Wenwei is so calm, so he should have known about it in advance. In the end what happened? Zhou Jin's mind was spinning. From his observation, Qiu Zhenggang's martial arts level was no less than Zhou Yang's. Many people didn¡¯t know such details, but they could feel the pressure radiating from Qiu Zhenggang. Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, and the faces of those in the Meng family changed from relaxed to solemn, or even worried. The people around him were like this, and Meng Zongyuan, who was face to face with Qiu Zhenggang at the scene, felt the oppression coming towards him. "Brother Qiu has actually advanced to this point, I didn't expect it!" Meng Zongyuan said coldly. In his opinion, the head of the Qiu family must have been hiding his strength until now. Qiu Zheng had been squinting his eyes when he first walked into the arena. It was only then that he opened his eyes. His eyes were clearly black and white, but there was a little flame in the deepest part of the black pupils. If you look closely, you will find that there is actually a raging fire there! Meng Zongyuan subconsciously took a step back to avoid the incoming fire. When he stopped, he realized that it was just a feeling. "Why did it suddenly get hot?" "Do you smell something burnt?" "Go and take a look, there's a fire outside!" People on the periphery didn't understand what was happening at all. They asked questions loudly, and some people Running back and forth, looking for a fire that isn't there. After experiencing all this, Meng Zongyuan did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He stared at the opponent with full vigilance. Meng Zongyuan waved his hands forward, and a faint green mist appeared out of thin air. After the green mist appeared in the air, it seemed that there was something there. Like his own life, he twisted and rolled towards Qiu Zhenggang. The green mist moved forward, Meng Zongyuan's figure changed, and hidden weapons came out. Some of the hidden weapons were poisonous darts and poisonous needles, and some were small projectiles. Those projectiles exploded directly in mid-air, and there was an unknown gas after the explosion. As it spread out, the color of the mist began to change. What was even weirder was that as the color changed, the activity of the mist became more intense, as if its vitality had been strengthened. Those poisonous darts and poisonous needles did not shoot directly at Qiu Zhenggang, but fell into the air. Collision and swirling, blending into the mist. At this time, the mist is like a formless monster, changing its shape and shining. But everyone will notice that although the color of the mist is bright, it represents deadly toxins, not to mention that there are sharp hidden weapons inside. , to outsiders, Meng Zongyuan, who was constantly swimming, had already taken the advantage. The poisonous mist seemed like another part of his body. The current situation in the field was two against one. "Seven Colorful Phantom Gu" Zhou Jin whispered the name of the move used by Meng Zongyuan. His voice was not loud, but Zhou Yang, the head of the family next to him, the brothers and sisters of the Meng family on the other side, and the ancestor of the Meng family could all hear it clearly. The Meng family looked at Zhou Jin with extremely shocked eyes. They were surprised that Zhou Jin knew this name. Of course, most likely they would attribute the reason to Mo Changshan, the Lord of Snow Mountain and Ice Sea. The head of the family, Zhou Yang, looked at him with questioning eyes. Looking over, I hope Zhou Jin can explain it clearly. "The seven-colored phantom spirit Gu is a type of poison technique. It is equivalent to merging toxins with oneself. The human body changes all the time, and the toxins also change. And because it is combined with itself, this phantom spirit Gu is connected to the mind of the warrior. Because it has a certain consciousness, so You can flexibly adapt your attacks on the field, because the toxins are ever-changing, and even if the enemy responds, they often can't keep up with the changes in the toxins. Moreover, the toxins can attack independently. Those hidden weapons are actually used by the Phantom Gu, but the real power is not here. , the real power is that after casting the phantom spirit Gu, the warrior can perform another martial arts on his own. In a sense, there are two people in the field!" Zhou Jin lowered his voice to explain, and he specially added some words to his voice. Control so as not to be overheard by those present. Meng Zongyuan has been moving quickly, and the poisonous mist is changing and swimming, and he and Meng Zongyuan have moved separately, while Qiu Zhenggang has been standing there without moving. Meng Zongyuan's hands have been wrapped in blue smoke, and the smoke is wrapped around his The hand is swaying. "Brother Meng actually became a miasma smoker. I really didn't expect it." Zhou Yang, the head of the family, couldn't help but exclaimed this time, and then whispered: "Without Xiao Jin, you and the Meng family were friendly and left a favor. Without Xiao Jin, you gave me The key to the second half of the 'Golden Stone Ancient Scroll' is that it will be difficult for my father to face him. " "Seven Colorful Phantom Gu" and "Miasma Smoke Hand" require at least the "Solid Stone" realm to practice, and Zhou Jin knows that "Miasma Smoke". The attack of "hand" is very difficult. If the person is touched by the blue smoke, he will become paralyzed immediately. If he inhales it, the internal organs will be corroded. If he is hit by the hand, some of his power will even be absorbed. ! This Meng Zongyuan has also been hiding his strength. If he hadn't cured the ancestor of the Meng family and Meng Dasheng, they would owe a huge favor. If Zhou Yang hadn't practiced the second half of the "Golden Stone Ancient Scroll", he would have been able to deal with Meng Zong. It¡¯s not easy to make money. But Zhou Jin was not surprised by Meng Zongyuan's strength. His attention was focused on Qiu Zhenggang, the head of the Qiu family. From the beginning, Qiu Zhenggang did not move and watched Meng Zongyuan's attack coldly. The ball of "Colorful Phantom Spirit Gu" in mid-air has expanded enough and has been floating around Qiu Zhenggang. Meng Zongyuan has arrived behind Qiu Zhenggang, the smoke in his hands suddenly condensed, and he punched Qiu Zhenggang in the back of the heart. Right here In an instant, the shape of the poisonous mist suddenly changed and swelled outwards. The hidden weapon inside shot out. The color of the poisonous mist instantly turned black and wrapped around Qiu Zhenggang. In an instant, this phantom spirit Gu was really Like a spiritual monster, the poisonous mist turned black and enveloped Qiu Zhenggang. Meng Zongyuan's fists hit Qiu Zhenggang hard on the back. The poisonous fog surrounded and the poison was entered. At this moment, the ordinary warrior was possible to ulcerate blood. Qiu Zhenggang actually attacked this motionlessly. This was too strange. Meng Zongyuan succeeded with one blow, and some people exclaimed, but no one in the Meng family cheered, and the ancestor of the Meng family even frowned. Zhou Jin noticed that Qiu Wenwei, the young master of the Qiu family, saw his father being hit. He didn't have a trace of worry on his face, he just watched the battle with a gloomy expression. Zhou Jin looked at the battlefield, and he suddenly discovered something. He couldn't see clearly just now because of the poisonous fog. At some point, Qiu Zhenggang actually closed his eyes. He had been keeping his eyes closed to welcome the opponent's attack, and he was so confident. In a very short moment, the poisonous mist enveloped Qiu Zhenggang, and Meng Zongyuan focused on Qiu Zhenggang. At this moment, Qiu Zhenggang opened his eyes! Those are not a pair of eyes, but two flames, hot and bright flames! The black mist that enveloped it suddenly retracted. This "Seven Colorful Phantom Spirit Gu" was indeed spiritual. It had realized the danger, and the condensed black mist suddenly dissipated. But it¡¯s too late! Qiu Zhenggang just punched forward, hitting the black mist in the middle. With a sudden sound, the black mist burned in the air. Everyone around them smelled a burnt and fishy smell, but those who could smell this smell were considered strong. Most people were retreating because the temperature in the field suddenly increased a lot, and many people felt the flames. Face. Meng Xinxin and Meng Dasheng could not help but stand with anxious faces.When they woke up, they saw the situation clearly. The poisonous "Seven Colorful Phantom Gu" had no effect on Qiu Zhenggang, and the "Miasma Hand" directly hit Qiu Zhenggang's body without any harm.
