Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that outsiders think that Zhuang Wudao, their chess piece, has been abandoned by the Beitang family.
But this is just the surface. At this time, the courtyard at the entrance of Jianyi Hall is actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside. In addition to Gu Yu, there is also a person in the sixth level of Qi Lianjing. He just can't go out for meditation on weekdays, so he is not a human being.
As we all know, especially dozens of days ago, after he broke through the fourth floor of the Qi Lian Realm, the number of crossbows in Jianyi Hall suddenly increased fourfold to prevent the Gu Yue family from unexpected actions.
And even two months ago, when Zhuang Wudao had no chance of winning, Beitang Wan'er still kept his promise and tried his best to protect Jianyi Hall. This was also Zhuang Wudao's perception of this woman.
reason.
It's just that Qin Feng didn't know why, but he had no interest in the street ceded by the Thunder Dragon Gang. He also didn't take advantage of the situation to expand aggressively. Even the Jade Bear Street was ignored. He only concentrated on running Dongfang Shipbuilding.
There was a vegetable market in the alley, and they constantly recruited helpers and practiced in military ways.
Once when Zhuang Wudao asked out of curiosity, Qin Feng looked at him like he was an idiot: "Wudao, are you really ignorant or are you pretending not to know? Since the Lichen Sect is going to take over Yuecheng, then our Yujuan
The street is about to become truly developed. At that time, there were thousands of disciples of Lichen Academy, and the market prices of the stores on this street were probably going to skyrocket tenfold. If our Jianyi Hall wants to grow in the future, Yuquan Street is the best place to go.
Fundamentally. Besides, what can I do to guard those two main streets? Just a bunch of us? A tall tree can easily break without a solid foundation. Although our Jianyi Hall is prosperous, if the situation is not right in the future, I'm afraid
Defeat is inevitable. Am I, Qin Feng, one of those ignorant people who loves great achievements? I don’t think you have the right to practice boxing all day long without caring about anything, and in the end, your brain is also stupid."
From then on, Zhuang Wudao never paid attention to the affairs in Jianyi Hall. Of course, his self-esteem was hurt by Qin Feng's venomous tongue. He also felt ashamed. He practiced every day and rarely used Jianyi.
Keep the church affairs in mind and don’t think too much.
At this time, Qin Feng wanted to hide his strength and bide his time, and Beitang Wan'er also did this intentionally, deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, but outsiders may not be able to see clearly.
"After tomorrow, no matter whether you live or die, Jian Yi Tang will inevitably be destroyed. How many people in this city are eyeing you?"
Xia Miao seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "It's too late to look back now. Our Xia family may not be able to save your sword clothing hall, but we can save your and Qin Feng's lives. All you need to do is to be slaves to my Xia family for seventy years. Could it be Zhuang?"
Senior brother, do you really expect that after your disastrous defeat, the Beitang family will still do their best to protect your Jianyi Hall? Or do you really think that you are a person and qualified to compete with the eldest son of the Gu Yue family?"
Beitang Wan'er, who was in front of her, had been filled with anger for a long time. At this moment, she couldn't help it anymore and turned back suddenly. Her eyes were like daggers, staring at Xia Miao.
Xia Miao didn't care at all, as if she didn't care about the legitimate daughter of the Beitang family, and said lightly: "By the way! I seem to have forgotten to mention that one of the conditions for Fei Xiu Shen's promise to Gu Yueming was that a
The late second-level Earth Fire Red Scorpion. In two months, his Red Sun Yang Art will definitely improve further. About an hour before you came to the academy, this person had already submitted a life and death certificate to the owner of the academy. Three days later,
In the competition arena, life or death is a matter of life and death for you. It seems like that guy Gu Yueming really hates you to the core and wants to get rid of you."
Zhuang Wudao subconsciously looked towards the crowd, in the direction where Fei Xiu Shen was. Looking at the faint fiery red color on this man's hands, he was slightly surprised.
This person's Red Sun Divine Palm has indeed entered the hall, and he is probably only one step away from reaching the second level of cultivation.
Fortunately, he has already mastered the "Tianxuan Zhaoshi Sutra", and today, he can condense the fire of Shi Ming Jingyan. Otherwise, it would be difficult to retreat in front of this person with only the Bull Demon Dominance Body.
As if they had a tacit understanding, Fei Xiu Shen also looked at him with cold and cruel eyes. After a sneer, he made a neck-cutting gesture with his hand in front of his throat. Then without looking back, he followed Gu Yueming out of the school.
The front door of the museum, their steps and demeanor are all confident and domineering, as if they are treating animals as if they are being slaughtered.
"Anyway, Brother Zhuang, please take care of yourself! There are still three days before the competition. Within these three days, if you change your mind, you can come to Xia's house to find me at any time."
Xia Miao also walked away and smiled softly: "In three days, I will prepare a good coffin for you, so that Brother Zhuang does not need to worry about what happens after his death."
After the man had gone far away and boarded his carriage, Zhuang Wudao asked with a wry smile: "Do you think this man wants me to win or lose?"
There was no anger in Beitang Wan'er's eyes, and she shook her head slightly, "Who knows? I guess it's half and half. The Xia family runs Baibingtang, and most of their strength is outside Yue City and is distributed in the cities of Soochow.
On the contrary, they are weak in Yue City. However, if the Xia family can one day replace the Gu Yue family's position in Songjiang, their strength will be a hundred times more terrifying than the Gu Yue family. Of course, the Xia family is afraid that the Beitang family will dominate Yue City.
However, there are also many ambitious people within their clan."
After thinking about it carefully, Beitang Wan'er added: "It's true that this person is very disappointed in you. He also really loves talents."
Zhuang Wudao burst into laughter, then turned around and looked at the main hall, his eyes equally cold and gloomy.
Life and death status? Is it true or false? How will the Chongzhen Hall Master deal with it?
※※※※
In Zhuang Wudao's view, the encounter during the school registration and lottery trip was just an insignificant episode before the competition. Xia Miao's words, no matter what their intentions were, were not enough to stay in his heart.
Traces of the lower half.
For him, the most important thing is the fire that condenses Shi Ming's essence, not the situation of life or death. The more than fifty days of waiting have already made him impatient.
Back in his small courtyard, Zhuang Wudao stopped practicing boxing and instead sat in meditation with his eyes closed. He spent the entire afternoon using the mental skills of Yun Jian Jue to keep his spirits high.
When the time comes when he has a child, both mentally and physically, he is in the best condition. Only then does Zhuang Wudao walk into the backyard and sit cross-legged in the star gathering array.
At this time, the power of the Taiyin is extremely strong, and it happens to be cloudless. The entire galaxy is displayed in the sky. It is perfect to practice the Tianxuan Illuminating World Sutra.
At this moment, there were still several people standing on the nearby courtyard wall. Besides Gu Yu and Qin Feng, Beitang Wan'er and Beitang Qin were also standing on the top of a roof twenty feet away, leaning down to look down.
They all had solemn expressions and held their breaths to avoid disturbing the people in the formation.
Zhuang Wudao was also focused on nothing, running the determination of "Tianxuan Zhaoshi Sutra". A large amount of star power entered his body, and little by little he activated the stone essence flame gathered in the spleen and stomach.
The forty-nine remaining flames all exploded in an instant and fled in all directions along Zhuang Wudao's meridians, but were forcibly controlled and pulled by Zhuang Wudao's thoughts and reunited.
In two months, these residual flames had already merged with Zhuang Wudao's spiritual essence. At this moment, they gathered bit by bit, and a complete red flame gradually rose into the sky.
However, as the power of the flames grew stronger, Zhuang Wudao gradually felt that his chest and abdomen seemed to be burning. Stone scales even began to appear all over his body.
Even if he uses the 'Tianxuan Illuminating World' method with all his strength, he can't resolve it all. The true energy in his body drives out a huge amount of heat, which is then neutralized by the power of the lunar star.
However, the consumption of true energy is also huge. Often for eight or nine small cycles, Zhuang Wudao has to take time to swallow pills to speed up recovery.
Only then did Zhuang Wudao feel frightened. If it hadn't been for the unknown monk who used the spiritual dew to dissolve the accumulated fire poison in his body. If they were to explode together at this moment, the situation would probably be several times more dangerous!
He had begun to regret vaguely, rejecting Sword Spirit's offer to help him condense his fire. The result of having to do it by himself was to fall into this desperate situation.
Every cycle of 'Tianxuan Illuminating the World' is like stepping on a tightrope. If you make the slightest mistake, you may fall into the abyss below.
Fortunately, he has been on the streets for ten years, and his temperament has long been tempered and perseverance. Together with Qin Feng, he fought with people on the streets. If he couldn't beat them, he would stalk them. If his hands were broken, he would bite them with his mouth, and he would not be able to stand up.
Then crawl until you can't move anymore. These four words of perseverance are deeply rooted in my bones. If someone punches me, I will stab them! I am a scoundrel, a desperado, and a person with nothing, why should I be afraid of death?
After being slightly panicked at the beginning, Zhuang Wudao quickly calmed down. The danger of being burned to the ground at any time, instead of making him timid, aroused the ferocity and cruelty in his temperament.
The overflowing heat and fire poison could not be completely resolved, so it was all dispersed into the hands and arms. The limbs were allowed to petrify little by little and could not move.
If the hands and feet are useless, then just let them turn to stone. Even the internal organs can be given up, and only the most basic needs for life can be maintained.
And just when his whole body was almost completely covered by stone, Zhuang Wudao suddenly felt another tingling sensation coming from his spleen and stomach.
Zhuang Wudao was not surprised but overjoyed. This feeling was just like a few months ago, when he had successfully practiced the Yunjian Jue and the sword energy in his chest hit the pseudo-spiritual aperture.
"Is it finally done?"
As soon as this thought came up, all the remaining flames in his chest gathered together and turned into a gray-white flame.
At the same time, a large amount of star power was gathered in the surrounding void. The earth energy under the ground was also disturbed. The place where Zhuang Wudao was sitting was suddenly raised by three feet.
The stone texture on Zhuang Wudao's body also faded rapidly, and his skin color returned to normal almost instantly.
The qi and blood in his body boiled, rushing somewhere in his chest and abdomen. A thunderous explosion also sounded in Zhuang Wudao's ears.
It seemed as if a door had been opened between his spleen and stomach. Not only was the stone essence flame completely included in it, but it also attracted all the energy, blood, essence and even spiritual thoughts in Zhuang Wudao's body to flow in.
Zhuang Wudao has experienced this situation twice, once when he first flushed away the pseudo-spiritual orifice, and once when he entered the realm of Qi training.
"Sure enough! This pseudo-spiritual orifice has opened!"
In Zhuang Wudao's thoughts, dozens of secret techniques and spiritual methods recorded in the Tianxuan Zhaoshi Sutra flashed through his mind, but he still couldn't decide.
