"I don't understand." Han De looked depressed, holding the wine glass in his hand but not moving it to his mouth, "Wu Zhifei, why did you give in so easily just now?"
Wu Jie seemed very relaxed, smiled slightly, and asked, "Why shouldn't I admit defeat?"
"Because you obviously haven't tried your best yet," Han De said loudly, "Since you are competing, you should use all your strength."
Wu Jie raised his eyebrows, a little confused as to why he was so excited: "I have already used most of my strength."
"Not most, but all," Han De said unceremoniously, "If you are stronger than your opponent, then there is nothing wrong with retaining some of your strength. But you are obviously weaker than your opponent, so you still retain it.
Doesn’t strength mean disrespect for the opponent?”
Wu Jie was surprised: "Why do I disrespect my opponent by retaining my strength?"
"Isn't this a matter of course? Martial arts competition is a very serious matter. It is a contest between two strong men in pursuit of a higher realm, with their lives as a bet. It is a major event looking for opportunities between life and death. How can you be so careless like you?
Woolen cloth"
"I'm very serious," Wu Jie immediately protested, "I'm already very serious."
"If you don't try your best, what's the point of being serious?" Han De said angrily, "I know you righteous people don't approve of casually giving up your life, but you should at least show your true ability. Don't tell me that you
After my ascension, I changed my path and stopped studying magic."
Wu Jie smiled and shook his head: "Of course I am still studying spells. Until now, I am still a Qi practitioner rather than a martial monk. But in that battle just now, I did show my true strength. Even if I used spells,
Even if you stand up to the sky, it will only increase your strength by another 20 to 30%, and it will not change the outcome."
"You haven't even tried it, how do you know you can't change the result?"
"Because I know him better than you." Wu Jie smiled, "I can't tell you the reason, but I can guarantee that the strength Master Wukong just displayed is probably not even half of his total strength."
"How is it possible?" Han De's eyes widened in surprise, "When he used his three heads and six arms, his strength was enough to kill the ordinary Lord Dongxu. Such strength - he hadn't even used half of it yet? So wouldn't it be true?
Is his true strength comparable to those of the most powerful Lord Dongxu?"
Wu Jie thought for a while and said: "With the strength of you and me, it is probably difficult to find an evenly matched opponent in the realm of Yangshen. Even if we face Zhenjun Dongxu, you and I can still fight, even if the situation is suitable.
Under such circumstances, you can kill the weaker True Lord Dongxu. As for Master Wukong’s true strength...if I guess correctly, he should be equivalent to True Lord Dongxu at your level."
Hande was dumbfounded. He was stunned for a while before loudly exclaiming: "Are you kidding me? This is impossible."
"Nothing is impossible. The world is so big, anything can happen." Wu Jie shook his head and sighed softly, "Don't use realm to measure his strength. To him, realm is meaningless.
"But...but..."
Wu Jie smiled bitterly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip without explaining in detail.
Since Wukong is Hua Siyuan's disciple, Hua Siyuan must teach him according to Brother Monkey's standards. For Brother Monkey, the most powerful method is not the three heads and six arms or the golden cudgel method, but the indestructible body of Vajra and the Seventy
The second magical power - yes, there is also a somersault cloud.
Wu Jie didn't know what Master Wukong's Vajra Indestructibility, Seventy-two Transformations and Somersault Cloud would be like, but he was sure that even if he used all his skills, he wouldn't be able to win.
First of all, among the various magical powers and spells he has mastered, except for Dou Bu's world-destroying power, probably none of them can hurt Wukong, who has an indestructible body. Even the world-destroying power may not necessarily be effective.
——The power of destroying the world also has its strength and weakness. It is completely different in the hands of the abandoned swordsman and in the hands of Wu Jie.
Even if we take a step back, his world-destroying power can hurt Wukong. In the fierce battle, he will not have time to slowly use the Plague Division Zhengfa to extract the world-destroying power from the bad luck. Don't forget that Somersault Cloud is out.
He is famous for being fast. He can perform a somersault thousands of miles away, but his thunder escape is probably not as fast as his opponent's.
In fact, it doesn't make much sense to consider this. Wu Jie's body can no longer withstand that level of fighting, which is the key reason for him to admit defeat.
Wu Jie's magical power is now very powerful, so powerful that it is beyond what his physical body can withstand. Even if he uses his magic power to protect his body, the extent of what he can support is limited. If he continues like this, he may not be able to wait for the Seventy-two Transformations.
Somersault clouds and the like, as long as Master Wukong adds a little more strength to the golden cudgel, he will be knocked down.
Facing an opponent who is stronger than you, faster than you, physically stronger than you, with more sophisticated magical powers than you, with stronger weapons than you, and even with more combat skills than you, it is almost enough. This is a competition.
It’s not a life and death fight, so why bother trying your best?
Anyway, Wu Jie doesn't like that kind of extreme attitude. He can't beat him no matter what, and he doesn't play match-fixing. He really can't beat him. As for why he has to fight for face?
But Han De obviously does not agree with this attitude. In his view, martial arts competition is like fighting. When you enter the ring, you must have the intention to kill or be killed. This is a ideological difference between them, and there is no reason to argue.
It's just like on earth, some people think "victory is justice", while others think "victory is victory, justice is justice". This is a difference of ideas, and there is nothing to debate.
The most practical way to resolve ideological differences is for everyone to seek common ground while reserving differences and being tolerant of each other. Of course, maybe one day Wu Jie will have another fight with Han De and kill him with a knife. That can be considered an idea to solve the problem, but it is just too extreme.
Han De was silent for a while, sighed, and said: "Actually, it is a rare opportunity to have the opportunity to fight with all your strength without worrying about being beaten to death."
Wu Jie naturally understood what he meant and asked, "If you were in our Yujing Sect, would you fight with all your strength and let everyone watch the wonderful method of your Wanbian Sect?"
Han De smiled bitterly and shook his head.
This is really a realistic reason. Wu Jie is in the Divine Gate. How could he show off all his skills in front of everyone? Don’t forget, there is a Ningcui Tianjun watching next to him.
"Wouldn't you have told me this reason earlier?" he muttered angrily.
"But that's not the most important reason." Wu Jie said with a smile, "For you and me, the most important reason is definitely not the interests, but just 'I want to do this, isn't it?
"
Han De shook his head, sighed, and sighed again, feeling very helpless.
"Actually, isn't it wrong for me to be like this? If you had been merciful when you were in Baidi Pavilion, you and I could really become friends." Wu Jie said in a deep voice.
Han De was silent for a moment and sneered: "How can these ants deserve my mercy? What's more, they want to fight, and I'm just accepting the fight."
"If I were you, I would have completely collapsed the Baidi Mountains, leaving them with no place to protect them, so they would naturally have no choice but to run away."
"Why should I care about their mood? Why should I care about their life and death?" Han De asked with a sneer.
Wu Jie smiled and raised his fist.
Hande's face darkened and he snorted coldly.
Wu Jie did not continue talking about this topic. He put down the teacup and said with a smile: "What do you think about what Lord Ningcui Tianjun said just now?"
"You think too much," Han De sneered. "A demon king in the immortal realm sneaked through the Green Star battle line. This is indeed a big deal. Although the Zidian World is in the direction of its escape or heading, but
The most powerful person in the Purple Lightning World is just a Purple Lightning Sword Master who has not even become an Immortal Lord, and there is no way he can be related to it."
"That's what I said..."
"Wu Zhifei," Han De's voice became louder, "Even if he really goes to find trouble with the Purple Lightning Sword Sect, what can you and I do? Don't tell me that you plan to fight the Immortal Heavenly Lord, which means you are going to die.
To get rid of that guy, you and the entire Yujing sect need to fight together and kill at least half of the people before we can have some hope. Just the two of us Yang Shen true immortals are too far apart."
Wu Jie thought for a while and could only smile bitterly.
As Han De said, the demon king was able to sneak past the Green Star battle line, and even Ningcui Tianjun couldn't stop it, and it had already been gone for more than ten years. He and Han De couldn't defeat him, let alone him.
, I can’t catch up even if I chase you.
He was worried, so he returned to his room and contacted Yin Shuang through the "Nagarjuna Line".
However, Yin Shuang did not respond. Looking at the chat history, it was found that the last time she was online was almost half a year ago. She talked a lot in one breath, and then took a rest for four or five days, then said that she would continue to retreat, and there was no news from that time.
Wu Jie knew that when Daoguo monks were in seclusion, three or five years was not worth mentioning. Ten or eight years was considered short, thirty or fifty years was nothing, and hundreds of years at a time were common - after all, Daoguo monks could live
Tens of thousands of years
Yin Shuang is now in the realm of gods. The realm of gods in the Xinghai Realm is almost equivalent to the Taoist monks in the Great Wilderness Realm, and even has a longer lifespan. Yin Shuang started retreating half a year ago, and it is definitely not time to leave the retreat yet.
But...he couldn't help but worry.
What if the demon king in the immortal realm really goes to find trouble with the Zidian Sword Sect? What if Yin Shuang is in danger?
These messy thoughts made him so confused that he couldn't feel at ease for many days.
So these days, you can often see a young man in Taoist robes walking restlessly on the bow deck of the Snow Wind, with his hands behind his back, like an ant on a hot pot, going around in circles, around and around.
Han De tried to persuade him a few words at first, but when his advice was ineffective, he didn't bother to persuade him anymore and went to practice on his own.
The battle between Wu Jie and Master Wukong deeply touched him. He is now very active in cultivation and is eager to make a breakthrough as soon as possible. It would be best if he could place his soul in the void tomorrow and become the True Monarch of Dongxu.
Of course, that's impossible.
From the Green Star Front to the Purple Lightning World, one has to pass through many large and small worlds. Some worlds have Great Movement Arrays, and some do not.
After all, Han De is not familiar with the geographical environment inside Shenmen. When they left the Green Star front, Ningcui Tianjun helped them arrange the fastest road. According to his estimation, even if they take the fastest road
, even if everything goes well on the road, this journey will take at least a hundred years.
About two years later, Yin Shuang finally came out of seclusion.
【What are you worried about? Everything is normal here, nothing happened.】
When Wu Jie saw this passage flashing through the "Nagarjuna Line", he almost felt like crying with joy. He answered hurriedly, and even became a little incoherent because he was so excited.
[It’s okay, it’s a good thing. It’s okay. Nothing happened. I didn’t see monsters, bugs, or other strange things, right?]
【…What exactly is a demon king? 】
According to Ningcui Tianjun, it should be an insect-like demon clan. I just don’t know if it is one with strong individual combat power? Or it can breed a powerful army.]
[Don’t you even know this? If I were the God of Creation in charge of the Green Star Front, I would definitely drag this incompetent guy out and beat the 40 big boards again]
[He couldn't defeat the demon king, and he was sneaked into the Green Star front due to negligence at the beginning. In this case, there is very little information that can be collected...]
[So this guy deserves a beating because he neglects his duties, doesn’t do things well, and even makes excuses about his husband. You have to keep your distance from this guy who doesn’t seek to improve, and don’t get infected by him]
[I haven’t even seen his face, how could I be infected? 】
[It’s good that I haven’t been infected. The dispute between the leader sect and the Presbyterian sect here has come to an end. The Presbyterian sect’s power is retreating steadily. If nothing happens, they will give up in another thirty to fifty years. 】
[The good news is that if they admit defeat, this war that has lasted for hundreds of years and swept the entire Zidian world will finally be over]
[This is not particularly good news. The dying beasts are always particularly ferocious. Maybe they will fight back in the end. Even if they cannot win with a desperate counterattack, they will at least have some support...]
【What you said makes me very worried】
[What is there to worry about? I have made enough contributions to the Purple Lightning Sword Sect, or to the leader sect, and now is the time to practice hard in seclusion. Even if the world is shattered outside, it has nothing to do with me. Wait for me
After cultivating Yang Shen and leaving seclusion, the battle outside must have been completed.】
【What if the leader faction loses? 】
[How is it possible that Donghua Sword Lord is so strong that he can barely fight even against the weaker Immortal Lord? And several elders from the elders' faction join forces, but they are just about the same as him - but the leader
Donghua Sword Lord is not the only one in the sect. The strength gap between the two sides is quite large. If Donghua Sword Lord didn’t want the Purple Lightning Sword Sect to lose too much strength, this war would have ended long ago.
】
[Huh? If you don’t want the sect to lose too much strength, shouldn’t it be a quick victory? 】
[You are just a mortal. For these immortals, as long as True Lord Dongxu and True Immortal Yangshen die less, they will not care no matter how many mortals or ordinary monks die. 】
[…it’s the Shenmen branch after all]
[God is like this. I have long been used to it. I go out for a walk and then continue to retreat. You should also practice hard. The Yang Shen Zhenxian is just the starting point of the road to immortality. You cannot be complacent.]
Yes, okay, please take care]
[You too] With these three words, the light of Longjun's line dimmed, which meant that Yin Shuang was offline.
Wu Jie sighed and broke off the contact.
Since coming to the Xinghai Realm, he has been able to clearly feel the direction of Yin Shuang, but the distance is too far, too far for him to estimate. Even if he has been riding the Xuefeng for a long time, even if he has been in
Five or six worlds passed through the Divine Gate, but the distance between them did not seem to shorten at all, and they were still out of reach.
When can we arrive at Yin Shuang's place?
Wu Jie was a little anxious and even more uneasy.
He always felt that things would not go so smoothly, and was always worried that something unexpected would happen. This thought made Han De very disdainful, so much so that he satirized him, "Why don't you worry that the sky will fall and the earth will sink? Why don't you worry about Shenmen?"
Are you going to start a fight with Daomen again? Why don’t you worry that Lord Siyuan will go crazy and launch the four fighting gods to have a decisive battle with Shenmen?”
"These are all ridiculous..."
"But at least there are reasons for these, or at least these things have goals. You are just worried now, but you don't even know what you are worried about. Don't you think it's funny?"
Wu Jie didn't think it was funny, he was just worried and nervous.
Soon after, his worries finally became reality.
When they passed by a world called "Fire Cloud Realm", they finally saw the demon king that Lord Ningcui had talked about.
In other words, they saw the traces of the demon king's rampage.
The Fire Cloud Realm is a world built inside the clouds. There is no land in this world, but endless clouds floating in the endless sky. There are many large and small floating islands in the clouds, and various creatures live in the clouds.
in the sky, or perched on an island in the sky. Every time the sun rises and sets in the sky, the sunlight dyes countless clouds red. Looking from a distance, the whole world seems to be enveloped in flames, which is really spectacular.
But when Wu Jie and Hande came here, they really saw endless flames.
The entire Fire Cloud Realm is really burning
Green flames, red flames, black flames... there are flames everywhere. The clouds are burning, the islands are burning, everything is burning.
With just one glance, they were able to confirm that the Fire Cloud Realm was over.
They didn't know what was going on at first, but later they rescued a few lucky people who had a chance to escape in the sea of fire, and then they learned that not long ago, a demon king suddenly attacked and fought fiercely with the heavenly king stationed in the fire cloud world. They
I don't know what the outcome of the battle between the two sides was, but I only know that from a certain day, the entire Fire Cloud Realm began to burn, almost burning everything.
However, neither the Heavenly Lord nor the Demon King appeared again. Only a ruins were left burning in the sea of fire, and countless creatures were left lingering and waiting to die.
Wu Jietie's face was livid, and his eyes swept across the infinite distance. There were still flames there, and there were flames everywhere.
