In the stream of Qixiang Mountain, Hong Juncheng cracked Xu Zhiqiong's illusion.
Hong Juncheng was very surprised. He didn't expect Xu Zhiqiong to be alive.
But he was surprised, and Hong Juncheng remained calm.
He has fought countless fierce battles and encountered many powerful enemies.
For a powerful enemy like Xu Zhiqiong, no matter what situation arises, in Hong Juncheng's view, it is reasonable.
Hong Huayun's escape was actually related to Xu Zhiqiong.
This proves one thing: Xu Zhiqiong had an affair with the palace servant, and may also have some contacts with Hong Huayun.
From now on, we must speed up the execution of chamberlains. No eunuchs can be spared, and not even those who have never met me can be spared this time.
As for the current situation, it would be best to kill Xu Zhiqiong. If you really can't kill him, then repel him and take Hong Huayun back no matter what.
Xu Zhiqiong's voice could only be heard in the valley. Looking towards the source of the sound, there was a group of thorns there.
Is Xu Zhiqiong hiding among thorns?
Hong Juncheng did not act rashly. People who are good at illusions are good at creating auditory hallucinations.
"Xu Zhiqiong, to be honest, I admire you very much. I admire your courage and courage. Since we meet here, let's put aside our identities and say a few words from the bottom of our hearts. What do you think?"
Hong Juncheng pretended to talk to the thorns in the middle of the mountain, but he was actually releasing his domineering energy and searching for traces of Xu Zhiqiong in the mountain streams.
"Hong Juncheng, to be honest, I don't appreciate you at all. Your character and behavior are disgusting. Since you want to say something from the bottom of your heart, let me ask you, why can't you give up after being a divine king for hundreds of years?
Let Qiancheng people live a better life?"
Xu Zhiqiong seemed to be quarreling with Hong Juncheng, but in fact he was letting Yang Wu slowly infiltrate Yin Qi into Hong Juncheng.
If it were not in this valley, if it were another place, Yang Wu would never have been able to get close to Hong Juncheng, let alone release Yin Qi.
This is why Xu Zhiqiong must lure Hong Juncheng out and fight in the valley. This valley is the battlefield chosen by Xu Zhiqiong for Hong Juncheng. Every inch of the territory is carefully deployed by Xu Zhiqiong.
On the cliff, there is a passage carefully built by Xu Zhiqiong with the power of imagery. Yang Wu can move in the passage without being noticed by Hong Juncheng, and the Yin Qi released will also be absorbed by the power of imagery.
hidden.
Yang Wu had only one goal, to let Hong Juncheng swallow as much Yin Qi as possible before the decisive victory.
Hong Juncheng frowned and said, "Why can't Qiancheng people live a good life?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Every day we get up at Yin hour and don't stop until half past Hai hour. Do you know how difficult it is?"
Hong Juncheng sneered and said: "Working is the honor of Qiancheng people, the blessing of Qiancheng people, and the greatest joy in Qiancheng people's lives!"
As he spoke, Hong Juncheng roughly locked onto Xu Zhiqiong's position.
Xu Zhiqiong sneered: "You work so hard and don't have time to breathe every day. Do you think this is a pleasure?"
Yang Wu had unknowingly surrounded Hong Juncheng with Yin Qi.
Hong Juncheng looked indifferent: "You don't know the character of Qiancheng people, nor do you know the character of Qiancheng people. Qiancheng people are diligent and hardworking. Although they are busy all day long, they enjoy it."
"It's hard to have enough food and clothing when you are so busy all year round. Tell me, where does this joy come from?"
Hong Juncheng said sincerely: "The aspirations of thousands of people do not depend on external things, nor on food and clothing. These are all things external to the body, more or less, why bother?"
"Why do you think it's worth mentioning?"
Hong Juncheng shook his head and sighed: "You claim that people don't have the character of my Qiancheng, so you naturally don't know the reason. The abundance of external things has nothing to do with the wealth of the mind. The richness of my Qiancheng people's hearts is beyond your reach.
Maybe you Xuanren have a little extra money, a little leisure time, and a little leisure time, but where are you spending your time?
Hanging pictures, burning incense, ordering tea, arranging flowers, these are all degenerate and shameless activities!
So what if you and other Xuan people are richer? They are just a little arrogant and extravagant on the outside, but the mentality of thousands of people is a hundred times simpler and clearer than you Xuan people!"
Xu Zhiqiong agreed: "Yes, all you Qiancheng people have left is simplicity and clarity. Their marrow has been squeezed dry, and they have all fulfilled your external luxuries."
Hong Juncheng's cheek moved: "I never care about things outside myself. I share the joys and sorrows with the people of Qiancheng..."
"Stop talking about your mother's idleness here!" Xu Zhiqiong spat, "Hong Juncheng, your own Divine Sovereign Palace is comparable to Daxuan Capital, and you have tens of thousands of servants just to serve you.
Thousands of brocade clothes, no different ones to wear, thousands of kinds of fine food, no different eating and drinking, and the depravity of things external to you, you are not ambiguous at all!"
Hong Juncheng said sternly: "This is etiquette, this is ancient etiquette..."
"I've already told you, please give your mother some slack and don't keep talking nonsense," Xu Zhiqiong spat again, "You said that Xuan people lost their minds by playing with things. You bought tea, flowers, and perfumes. Which of them is wrong?
Bought with a lot of money from Daxuan? Which one of them didn't you exchange for the bone marrow of a thousand people?
You said that listening to music is a form of depravity. You have tens of thousands of beauties in your harem. Isn’t this called depravity?"
Hong Juncheng gritted his teeth and said, "This is what God deserves..."
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "You are too lazy to talk about ancient precepts and etiquette. I usually talk about it every day. Let's put it down today. Let's be honest.
A piece of cake is worth a thousand times. You are a divine king. Eat more and occupy more, and you will be blessed!
But you insist on eating 90%, and you have to take out the remaining 10% and distribute it to your minions, and give some leftover soup from the corner of your mouth to the people. In your opinion, it is still a great kindness, and I cannot tolerate you!"
Hong Juncheng gritted his teeth and said, "Who won't tolerate me?"
Xu Zhiqing said with a ferocious smile: "The laws of heaven cannot tolerate it!"
"I am the Son of Heaven!" Hong Juncheng gritted his teeth and said, "My principles are the principles of heaven."
Xu Zhiqiong sneered and said: "You have been telling lies for hundreds of years, and even you yourself believe it. How dare you claim the truth of heaven? Do you dare to say that you are the emperor? Liang Zhenrui, you are obviously an abandoned son!"
Upon hearing these three words Liang Zhenrui, Hong Juncheng trembled. This was the name he most hated to hear in his life.
He had roughly discovered Xu Zhiqiong's location. He could have explored it more accurately, but he couldn't bear it anymore.
Hong Juncheng gathered his domineering energy and struck out with Demon Nirvana.
His movements were too big, the signs were too obvious, and his strikes were not precise enough, so Xu Zhiqiong dodged them.
On the cliff, the rocks exploded, and a deep pit several feet in diameter appeared. This is Hong Juncheng's current strength.
Hong Juncheng caught Xu Zhiqiong's movements and was about to fire a shot of Demon Nirvana when he suddenly saw a man in front of him.
The man was standing next to the bamboo dragon (water pipe) in the hot spring. He had fair skin, deep eye sockets, and thin cheeks. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for the moment.
When the man poked his face with a paintbrush, Hong Juncheng knew who it was.
Li Shabai!
Is it really him?
It's not him, it can't be him!
If he had come, he would have taken action long ago, there was no way he could wait until now.
This is Xu Zhiqiong's illusion. His illusion is difficult to break and can only be devoured with the technique of macrophage.
Hong Juncheng swallowed the phantom, but could not see any trace of Xu Zhiqiong. He only heard Xu Zhiqiong shouting in his ear: "You were beaten half to death by the painting general, and you are no match for the cavalry and hussar generals. Do you think you are ashamed?"
While Xu Zhiqiong was talking, Yang Wu quickly replenished his yin energy beside Hong Juncheng.
Hong Juncheng's eyes reappeared in the scene where he and the two generals besieged Li Shabai. Li Shabai suppressed them with just a paintbrush and was unable to fight back.
Can't think of this memory, it will make Hong Juncheng's spirit seriously agitated.
Hong Juncheng then used the macrophage technique to swallow up the illusion, and the illusion remained an illusion after another.
The King of Daqian appeared in front of Hong Juncheng.
Xu Zhiqiong has never met the King of Daqian, but that doesn't matter. The second level of his sixth-level skill is state of mind, which can show Hong Juncheng's inner image.
The king of Daqian stood next to the bamboo dragon (water pipe) in the hot spring and was about to kill Hong Juncheng.
Hong Juncheng did indeed die in the hands of Lord Daqian. Seeing the figure of the other party, he could not help but tremble.
But why is it next to the bamboo dragon?
Were there bamboo dragons around at that time?
Aren't bamboo dragons only found in hot springs?
Could it be that I was killed in the spring?
Don't think about this memory...
Xu Zhiqiong shouted from the side: "You were defeated and surrounded, and no one came to save you. You were killed by the King of Daqian like a lost dog!"
Every word touched Hong Juncheng's pain point. Hong Juncheng struggled to swallow up all the energy and imagery around him. This time, he finally locked onto Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong didn't let him go yet, and continued to attack mentally: "Your soul ran to the place abandoned by the gods, possessed others, and acted arrogantly here.
Thanks to the painter's good skills, you, the bastard, died earlier, otherwise Daxuan would have been ruined by you.
It’s a shame that the painter’s hand wasn’t ruthless enough to let you, a bastard, die cleanly, but you allowed Qiancheng to be ruined by you for so many years!”
Hong Juncheng fired triple domineering energy in succession, trapping Xu Zhiqiong in a corner of the rock wall, and then with a speed not inferior to Xu Zhiqiong, he suddenly approached and came to Xu Zhiqiong's side.
Since Hong Juncheng obtained the soul of Shengci Elder Liang Gongping, this is the first time Xu Zhiqiong has fought against him.
Hong Juncheng was critically ill before. During that time, his soul was exhausted and his energy was very limited. He had to be cautious even when using domineering techniques.
Even so, at that time, he could fight with Xu Zhiqiong and Chang Decai back and forth.
Now Hong Juncheng has Liang Gongping's soul. Although it is incomplete, his combat power has jumped by more than one level.
Even Xu Zhiqiong's biggest advantage - speed, cannot take advantage of Hong Juncheng.
Xu Zhiqiong could feel that Hong Juncheng's strength was above the second level, exceeding that of ordinary star officials.
There is an essential gap between star officials and third-grade ones, and this gap means the disadvantage of being crushed.
How promising is this fight?
Comparing purely based on strength, there may be no hope at all!
Today, Hong Juncheng is able to rescue Liang Xiaoen from Li Shabai and Liang Jixiong. Although Li Shabai did not recover his memory at that time, his strength is still higher than that of Xu Zhiqiong.
But Xu Zhiqiong always believed that he had a seven-point chance of winning, even higher than seven-point!
After getting closer, Hong Juncheng's eyes were fixed on Xu Zhiqiong, as if he was about to use the skill of coiling a python.
Xu Zhiqiong mobilizes the power of imagery to resolve the python's technique.
You can also avoid the python's technique by retreating quickly.
But if he really did this, he would be fooled. Hong Juncheng did not intend to use the python technique. He raised his wrist and stretched two fingers towards Xu Zhiqiong's heart.
Anyone else would never have thought that Hong Juncheng would point his finger through the heart, but Xu Zhiqiong did.
Even if he thought about it, he might not be able to prevent it, but Xu Zhiqiong did it.
These days, Xu Zhiqiong practices with Chang Decai every day. He knows that Hong Juncheng can use Point Finger to Pierce Heart, and what he focuses on guarding against is the trajectory of Point Point to Pierce Heart.
Seeing Hong Juncheng raise his wrist, Xu Zhiqiong had already made a prediction and ducked in advance to avoid Hong Juncheng's finger.
Chang Decai suddenly appeared and besieged Hong Juncheng.
Hong Juncheng used his domineering power to drive away Chang Decai and pursued Xu Zhiqiong.
Yang Wu rode a bamboo horse in the channel of the power of imagery, chasing Hong Juncheng and spreading Yin Qi.
When Hong Juncheng was chasing Xu Zhiqiong, he suddenly found several figures around him.
There is Pan Xiu, the chariot general, and Liang Zhenjie, the hussar general.
He had his own elder brother Liang Zhenxuan, who later became Emperor Taizu of Daxuan.
There was also the Confucian cultivator who became a later Confucian star.
It’s Xu Zhiqiong’s illusion again!
Xu Zhiqiong has never seen these people, so why are the illusions so realistic?
Hong Juncheng swallowed the illusion and unleashed a series of domineering attacks. The rocks continued to explode, forcing Xu Zhiqiong to the corner of the cliff.
Xu Zhiqiong had nowhere to hide. Hong Juncheng smiled calmly and said: "You used your yin energy to plot against me? Do you think I didn't notice it?"
King Rui, who was worthy of being invincible seven hundred years ago, swallowed a lot of Yin Qi while swallowing the illusion. Hong Juncheng had long discovered this.
Not only did he discover it, he also deliberately swallowed up all the Yin Qi.
"Pure Yin Qi is so good!" Hong Juncheng laughed loudly, "You think you can damage my meridians with pure Yin Qi? I can't ask for such good Yin Qi!"
Hong Juncheng can resist pure Yin energy.
Not only can he resist it, he can also exploit it.
Xu Zhiqiong can steal other people's qi by using the skill of grafting flowers and grafting wood on others, but what he inhales is murderous qi, and when he uses it out, it is also murderous qi.
However, Taotie's fifth-level skills are quite different. Although he can only swallow the qi released by the opponent outside the body, he can use the swallowed qi at will as long as it is within the tolerance of the meridians.
He can release Yin Qi, wrap Yin Qi with domineering Qi to form the eunuch Qi machine, or convert Yin Qi into domineering Qi and then release it.
The higher the cultivation level, the faster the transformation speed. For a Taotie fifth-level cultivator, it may take several days or even months to transform Qi.
But Hong Juncheng only needed a cup of tea. The yin energy he inhaled for the first time was transforming into domineering energy in his meridians.
The Yin Qi released by Yang Wu has become the source of Hong Juncheng's Qi. If it weren't for the fullness of his meridians, Hong Juncheng would have wanted to inhale more.
He concentrated all his domineering energy on Xu Zhiqiong and used it to destroy the demons.
Hong Juncheng had placed a heavy bet on this blow. Being able to directly kill Xu Zhiqiong was naturally the best result.
If Xu Zhiqiong cannot be killed, Hong Juncheng will wait for the Yin energy to transform into domineering energy, then appear as a dragon and kill Xu Zhiqiong with his breath.
Although this cost Hong Juncheng a lot, now that Hong Juncheng is full of energy, there is no need to be stingy.
Seeing that the domineering energy was about to pour out, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly put on the Taoist mask, which frightened Hong Juncheng into confusion and scattered his energy in the mountain stream.
What's the reason for this mask? How could it frighten me?
Hong Juncheng shifted his gaze and no longer looked at Xu Zhiqiong's face. He distanced himself appropriately and constantly adjusted his meridians to speed up the transformation of yin energy into domineering energy.
After adjusting his meridians several times, Hong Juncheng was shocked.
The speed at which Yin energy transformed into domineering energy did not become faster, but instead slowed down.
Not only is it slow, most of the Yin Qi can no longer be transformed.
A soft shell suddenly appeared on the surface of Yin Qi.
Hong Juncheng is no stranger to this kind of soft shell. The eunuch's Qi is where his domineering Qi turns into a soft shell, wrapping Yin Qi.
But Hong Juncheng was convinced that he had not created a soft shell. Without his own guidance, the domineering and yin energy would not form a soft shell when they met.
So where did this soft shell come from?
No matter where it comes from, as long as it is a soft shell formed by domineering, Hong Juncheng will naturally have a way to resolve it. He is too familiar with this method.
He constantly distanced himself from Xu Zhiqiong, mobilized the remaining domineering energy, and dissolved the soft shell on the surface of the Yin energy.
After dissolving for a long time, the soft shell showed no response.
This is not a soft shell formed by domineering...
Xu Zhiqiong smiled.
This is certainly not a soft shell formed by domineering.
This soft shell comes from the power of imagery.
The corners of Xu Zhiqiong's mouth turned up and he suddenly came closer.
Hong Juncheng, I let you be greedy, I let you swallow, let me see how much more you can swallow!
