Chapter 37: Tit for Tat

The next morning, just as the sun was rising, the Moyang City Martial Arts Arena was already crowded with people.

Today was the Moyang City Martial Arts Contest held every three years, and people came to the Martial Arts Contest early to watch the contest.

The Moyang City Martial Arts Contest was a contest between the young men of the big families in Moyang City. The result of the contest determined the ranking of the families in Moyang City for the next three years.

On the viewing platform of the Martial Arts Contest, people from the big families appeared one after another.

Mo Tai sat on the most prominent seat on the viewing platform, and below him were Ba Wuli, the head of the Ba family, Nie Wenyuan, the eldest elder of the Nie family, and the patriarchs of several other prominent families in Moyang City.

Originally, Nie Tian should have appeared on the viewing platform, but he didn't want to talk nonsense with these family heads and elders, so he asked Nie Wenyuan to replace him.

"Lord City Lord, this Moyang City Martial Arts Contest is very lively. Who do you think will be the champion of this martial arts contest?" Ba Wuli narrowed his eyes and glanced at Mo Tai with a hint of disdain.

If it were normal times, Ba Wuli would never dare to show such an attitude in front of Mo Tai.

But the situation is different now. After tonight, the Lord of Moyang City will change, and Ba Wuli can no longer suppress his evil intentions.

Mo Tai naturally understood what Ba Wuli was thinking, but he had a calm expression and said calmly: "This Lord of the City thinks that the champion of this martial arts competition is still Nie Tian of the Nie family, just like three years ago."

"Lord of the City, you are too kind." Nie Wenyuan smiled faintly.

"Oh? Really?" Ba Wuli smiled coldly and said without hesitation: "I don't think so. A mere waste of the ninth level of Yuanmai wants to be the champion. It's a joke!"

"Yes. I heard that the second young master of the Ba family, Ba Ziliang, has returned from training and is now the fourth level of Yuanling. I wonder if the rumor is true or false?" Ma Jingwu, the head of the Ma family, said, without disguising his flattery to Ba Wuli.

"It seems that Master Ba Ziliang is only 18 years old. He is already at the fourth level of Yuanling at such a young age. He is really a young genius. It seems that Master Ba Ziliang is the real first genius of Moyang City." Yang Wudi, the head of the Yang family, said immediately.

Now the Ba family is powerful, and there are signs that they are overshadowing the City Lord's Mansion. These family heads are all smart people, and they will not miss such an opportunity to flatter.

Although the news that the eldest master of the Ba family was abolished and the Ba family surrounded the Nie Mansion and withdrew was spread everywhere, everyone still believed that the Ba family was very powerful, so powerful that the City Lord's Mansion was afraid.

After all, Mo Tai has no sons, and his only daughter has not yet awakened the Yuanling. When Ba Ziliang grows up, Moyang City will definitely change its owner.

Mo Tai looked at the two heads of the family, Ma Yang, and smiled faintly, saying: "Ba Ziliang is indeed at the fourth level of Yuanling, with strong strength and talent. But Nie Tian is not as bad as the head of the Ba family said. This city lord saw it with his own eyes. Nie Tian defeated Ba Ziliang in three moves. If Nie Tian is a waste, I wonder what Ba Ziliang is?"

"City Lord Mo, you..." Ba Wuli stared at Mo Tai, and even wanted to get angry.

Mo Tai, however, looked calm and sneered: "When Ba Ziliang was knocked down, the head of the Ba family was also there. Do you want to deny it?"

Ba Wuli suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "That stinky boy is just lucky. Now my son is already at the fifth level of Yuanling. If he meets Nie Tian again, he will definitely be able to kill him!"

"I hope so." Mo Tai smiled solemnly and did not comment.

Mo Tai is very confident in Nie Tian. Even if Ba Ziliang breaks through to the fifth level of Yuanling, he will never be Nie Tian's opponent.

However, Ba Wuli seemed very confident, and he looked confident. He glanced at Mo Tai and sneered in his heart: "Mo Tai, just wait and see the show."

The other family heads stopped talking.

Anyone could see that there would be a battle between the Ba family and the City Lord's Mansion sooner or later.

But they certainly didn't expect that this battle would come so soon.

Everything was ready in the martial arts competition field.

After Mo Tai said a few words as usual, the martial arts competition officially began.

Those who participated in the martial arts competition were all young people under the age of 20.

In previous years, the ninth level of Yuanmai was already the top strength, but this year was different because Ba Ziliang, a guy with the fifth level of Yuanling, appeared. In addition, Nie Tian and Mo Ruxi also awakened their Yuanling and became Yuanling warriors.

The first battle began.

Unfortunately, it was Nie Tian fighting against Ma Yang, a child of the Ma family.

Ma Yang stepped onto the martial arts competition stage with an arrogant look.

Nie Tian also stepped onto the martial arts arena, but he looked lazy.

The two people's states formed a sharp contrast.

Nie Tian's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Recently, there have been many rumors about Nie Tian. He crippled Ba Ziyang, defeated Ba Ziliang, etc.

But most people just regarded these as rumors, and few people believed it was true.

After all, Nie Tian has been a waste with his Yuan meridians destroyed for three years, and no one would believe that a waste could suddenly rise.

In the stands, several family heads couldn't help but talk about it.

"Ma Yang, the leader of the younger generation of my Ma family, has reached the eighth level of Yuanmai strength. It seems a bit bullying to face a person who has been disabled for three years." Ma Jingwu, the head of the Ma family, spoke first, with a strong sense of sarcasm in his tone.

Nie Wenyuan glanced at Ma Jingwu and sneered: "The head of the Ma family is a good joke, but you will soon know who is bullying whom."

"Mr. Nie, it seems that your Nie family is very unconvinced. A useless head of the family, do you want to bully others?" Yang Wudi, the head of the Yang family, laughed.

Nie Wenyuan snorted coldly and simply ignored these idiots.

On the martial arts competition stage.

"Nie Tian, ​​the former number one genius in Moyang City, has been a waste for three years. I didn't expect that you would stand on the martial arts competition stage one day. It's really surprising." As soon as Ma Yang came on stage, he looked at Nie Tian opposite and put on a playful attitude.

"Ma Yang, 20 years old, eighth level of Yuanmai. I really can't understand, with such a scumbag strength, where does your confidence come from." Nie Tian just glanced at Ma Yang, and no longer had the desire to look at him again.

With such strength, Nie Tian didn't have the slightest desire to fight.

"Nie Tian, ​​do you think you are still the genius you were three years ago?" Ma Yang sneered, and said, "I think you are a waste, so I'll let you have three moves first, and after three moves..."

"Bang!" Ma Yang was only halfway through his words, and with a muffled sound, he fell off the martial arts arena, lying on the ground with his legs spread out, unable to get up for a long time.

"No need for three moves, this family head only needs you to give in for one move." Nie Tian smiled speechlessly, turned around and jumped off the martial arts arena.

Ma Yang lay on the ground, feeling that all his bones were broken. He didn't see clearly when and how Nie Tian made his move.

The several family heads in the stands were also stunned, and even they didn't see clearly what Nie Tian did.

Nie Wenyuan laughed and said, "The leader of the Ma family can't even resist a single move. It's really a bit of a bully."

Ma Jingwu's old face flushed, and his chest was blocked by a breath that he couldn't swallow or spit out.

"It's just defeating a waste of the eighth level of Yuanmai. Are you proud?" Ba Wuli teased.

Nie Wenyuan smiled faintly and said, "Then let's talk about it after our patriarch defeats the second young master of the Ba family who is not surnamed Ba."

Ba Wuli's eyes turned cold, and he roared in his heart: "Nie Wenyuan, after tonight, I will make you kneel at my feet and admit your mistakes!"

Nie Tian defeated Ma Yang with one move, causing quite a stir.

People only knew at this time that the rumors about Nie Tian were true, and the waste patriarch of the Nie family really rose!

Ba Ziliang looked at Nie Tian from afar, his eyes full of endless anger, and he sneered in his heart: "Nie Tian, ​​I will definitely kill you with my own hands, so that the people of Moyang City can see clearly who is the number one genius."

Nie Tian had no interest in the following competitions, which were all competitions between Yuanmai realm warriors, which had no appeal to him.

Until Ba Ziliang's figure appeared on the martial arts competition stage, unfortunately, the one who fought against Ba Ziliang was a warrior of the Nie family, Nie Shan.

Nie Shan was nineteen years old, with the seventh level of Yuanmai, which was considered to be a standard strength.

"Nie Tian, ​​I will let you watch the Nie family warrior die!" Ba Ziliang didn't even look at Nie Shan, but shouted at Nie Tian under the martial arts competition stage.

Nie Tian frowned slightly.

"Ba Ziliang, what do you want to do?" Nie Shan felt the cold killing intent, and his face turned pale.

"Die!" Ba Ziliang didn't give Nie Shan any chance at all, and slapped out with a palm, and a sharp sword light shot towards Nie Shan.

"Puff!" The sword light passed by, and Nie Shan was directly pierced through the chest, and died tragically on the spot.

"Haha! Is this the warrior of the Nie family? He is vulnerable!" Ba Ziliang laughed wildly and walked down the martial arts arena with a smug look on his face.

"Asshole!" Nie Tian shouted in a low voice, with a fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

At this time, Ba Ziliang became a dying man in Nie Tian's eyes.

"All warriors of the Nie family, withdraw from the martial arts competition!" Nie Tian made a prompt decision and ordered all other warriors of the Nie family to withdraw from the martial arts competition.

This martial arts competition was not important in the first place, and there was no need to increase more casualties. It was enough for the Nie family to have Nie Tian participate in the battle.

The people of the Nie family did not dare to go against Nie Tian's wishes and all withdrew from the martial arts competition.

"All warriors of the Ba family, withdraw from the martial arts competition." Facing Nie Tian's actions, Ba Ziliang chose to fight back.

Ba Ziliang also knew that this martial arts competition was meaningless. The only meaningful thing was the duel between him and Nie Tian, ​​so it was no longer necessary for the warriors of the Ba family to continue to participate in the competition.

The warriors of the Nie family and the Ba family withdrew from the competition at the same time, and less than half of the warriors remained.

The following battle was simpler and more violent.

All those who fought against Ba Ziliang were killed in one move.

And Nie Tian's opponents were basically defeated in one move.

This martial arts competition almost became a personal show for Nie Tian and Ba Ziliang.

In just less than an hour, the martial arts competition decided the top four: Nie Tian, ​​Ba Ziliang, Mo Ruxi, and Ma Gang.

Among the four, except Ma Gang, the other three are Yuanling warriors.

Ma Gang was able to enter the top four not because of his strong strength, but because of his good luck, he did not meet Nie Tian and the other three.

The top four finals began, and the first game was Nie Tian vs. Mo Ruxi.

"I admit defeat." Before Nie Tian stepped onto the martial arts arena, Mo Ruxi's voice had already sounded.

"I admit defeat!" Mo Ruxi admitted defeat, and the whole audience was shocked.

Mo Ruxi's performance in the martial arts competition was not inferior to Nie Tian's, and everyone thought that there would be a wonderful battle between the two.

Mo Ruxi slowly walked to Nie Tian and whispered: "Nie Tian, ​​defeat Baziliang."
