Hou Zi slowly stepped forward, thinking about his next strategy.
In fact, he didn't want a real melee, not because of the casualties, but because if there was a real melee, the pirates would be in trouble.
Just as those Taoists opposite were wondering, how did the Cang Pirates develop so fast in recent years? It's a bit unreasonable.
The division of power at sea not only relies on the strength of the leader, but also depends on the profound background and whether it can bring benefits to everyone. From this point of view, compared with those Daomen groups, there is not even a slight gap between the Yanmen and the Daomen groups.
During the time he was away, Fang Yazi was also running for his own fortune, so there was a gap in the two's control over the Cang pirates. During this period, some people came in, and even he couldn't figure out the details.
The great thing about Southeast Daomen is that he keenly seized such an opportunity and did not give him a chance to clean up and screen out the Cang pirates again. He suddenly attacked King Wu Cheng's private ship. He did it sooner rather than later, taking advantage of the Cang pirates before they arrived When they are completely twisted into a rope, strike first and catch them off guard.
This time he set off in a hurry, and more people joined than he expected. He originally thought that six or seventy people would come, all of them were veteran thieves who knew the basics for many years, but nearly a hundred people came at once, which was much more than the number. His expectations made him suspicious.
It may not necessarily be someone sent by Chai Feng Pirates to infiltrate. It is more likely that they are the remnants of the original Huya. The distinction is very difficult.
The Yanmen sword cultivators headed by Zhang Dazui also gave him an early warning. No one could guarantee where the twenty or thirty people who had joined inexplicably came from, and whether there would be something evil once the melee started.
Even if only ten or eight of them have problems, the Cang pirates will be doomed in the melee.
If there were forty or fifty sword cultivators among the people under his command, he would not hesitate and just come up and start doing it without even bothering to say anything; or if there were a few of them who were of similar strength to him.
He knew very well in his heart that his strength was by no means that of normal Yanmen sword cultivators. The vast majority of Yanmen sword cultivators were no different in ability from the equivalent elite Dao Clan disciples; considering that these sword cultivators from Lizhihai There are really few real elites, and it is unrealistic to expect them.
Therefore, there must be no melee!
With this in mind, the two people met in front of the battle, looked at each other, and intrigued.
"Meeting before the battle is like child's play. It is better to talk before the battle than to talk after the fight. This is more convincing. What does the Taoist want from me? Is it possible that the chasing bandit is willing to give me three points in the sea?"
Bowen's attitude was gentle, but he did not give in. "I really want to fight, but Taoist friends have already beaten me, so why come to meet me? Everyone has scruples, and there is no need to use words to provoke people; I have always heard that Shanmen Quanzhen is doing his best." You are straightforward and straightforward, but you didn’t expect that you are also a person who doesn’t mean what you mean?”
They are all hard to fool. In terms of intellectual competition, Hou Tsang-tzu may not be able to outsmart these cunning Taoists, nor do they need to outsmart those who use swords.
"How to say?"
"Since neither of us wants to cause a tragedy in Lizhihai and attract too much attention from the outside world, it is better to compete, each taking his own initiative and willing to accept defeat."
Hou Tzu said, "Okay, I'm probably going to be the general here. You guys can appoint someone. It'll be clear who wins and who loses."
Bowen was displeased, "Fellow Daoist Hou, you are not sincere. How can one person replace the wishes of hundreds of people? According to your theory, all the forces in the mainland only need to promote one of their ancestors to compete, and there will be peace. Is this realistic? ?”
Hou Zi sneered, "What do you mean?"
Bowen's lion opened his mouth wide and said, "Thirty people from each group will compete..."
Hou Zi turned around and was about to leave, "Thirty? Then it's better to have everyone come up together and have fun. It's just a matter of elite soldiers. How about you? Do you want to fight a protracted war?"
The two tested each other's limits and tested out their respective shortcomings and strengths. In fact, this is something that both parties are well aware of.
Bowen's eyes narrowed, "The challenge is suspended in the air, limited to sixteen people, and the winner is the one who belongs at the end; the loser withdraws from Huya territory, the first to retreat when encountering, and..."
Hou Zi did not give in. "You can defend the challenge, but sixteen people are not appropriate. Nine counts is heaven, so this is what I want!"
In an individual duel, the larger the number of people, the more advantage the Wind Chaser will have. This is everyone's consensus; but when mixed together, the explosive power of sword cultivators is scary, and this is also a fact.
They can only take one step back, and in the end the number is limited to twelve people; from the first victor as the winner, the fight continues like this until all twelve people are used up.
During the battle, no one knows who the opponent will send next. As the ring leader, he is exposed in full view of the public, which adds to the difficulty of defending the ring.
This is a fairer way than individual battles, which is conducive to team strength as well as individual performance.
Bowen's conditions actually exceeded their expectations. Before his arrival, everyone's mental expectation was for ten people, and now there are two more, which is an unexpected surprise.
As for Hou Tzu, it’s okay not to mention it.
The two of them swore an oath in public, and their spiritual knowledge spread throughout the world. For these monks who live in the sea, it is an unchangeable decision. Once they make an oath, no one can fail and then provoke the crowd to disrupt the fight, which will make the whole Lihai
The cultivation circle looks down upon it.
Both sides returned to their own formations, and for a while there was a loud noise and howling. As pirates who make a living by plundering and fighting, they like scenes like this the most, and they look forward to making a name for themselves in the battle.
Hou Zi returned to the crowd, and those monks who thought they had a chance crowded over. Xue Haitu and Zhang Dazui each took a list and ticked it off, wanting to push one more of their own to show their face. This is a cultivator.
The glory of the person, as for the danger of life and death, it all depends on the will of God.
Such a recommendation will definitely not satisfy everyone's wishes. Except for the final spot of the champion, which must be reserved for Hou Tsu, everything else needs to be fought for. Who is the vanguard, who is the one who exerts his strength in the middle, who is responsible for grinding foreign workers, who is responsible for charging into the battle...
…
Hou Zi looked at it funny, "How can such a thing be planned in advance? You have to be flexible according to different opponents. You first make a big list, just twenty or thirty people, and then you can control it according to your skills before going on the field.
Decide."
After a pause, he added with a smile, "I only want one position, Pioneer!"
Everyone was shocked and a little unbelievable. If he was absolutely sure, how would others deal with it?
If he failed halfway, wouldn't he be handing over the final responsibility to others, and would anyone be able to shoulder it?
Not even Blood Sea Slaughter and Zhang Dazui dared to guarantee it.
No one spoke, but such silence is also an attitude, but Hou Zi remained unmoved.
"That's it! I'll be the first to come, and you can discuss the rest among yourselves, or don't you need to discuss it and prepare a celebration banquet?"
