Unlike Yu Hua, Zhang Kui was a practitioner of both Taoism and martial arts. In addition to being proficient in Taoism, his martial arts cultivation was ranked first in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
In the novel, Yang Jian faced off against him twice and was defeated both times. Even if he teamed up with Nezha and Lei Zhenzi, Zhang Kui advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, comparable to Lu Bu at Hulao Pass.
In terms of shortcomings, Zhang Kui's only shortcoming is that he does not have a powerful magic weapon at his side. All his abilities are in martial arts and earth-escape techniques. In this age of apotheosis, where strength is judged by magic weapons, he is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air.
Speaking of Zhang Kui's shortcomings, his magic weapon and his background, they should be his biggest problems.
Ding!!
Both sides took action at the same time, and the three-pointed two-edged sword collided with the Zhanma sword. The huge impact shook the surrounding ground.
Wang Xu only felt a huge force coming from the weapon, which was as powerful as his natural divine power.
You must know that Wang Xu's body belongs to Yang Jian. Yang Jian was born with the physique of a god of war, and his aptitude is not weaker than those innate creatures.
Zhang Kui was able to compete with him at the same level without falling behind. He obviously had a special physique. If he was not a casual cultivator and could join the three religions, he would have become a Da Luo Jinxian.
"What a Seven Killer!"
Since Wang Xu's debut, this is the first time he has encountered an opponent in the same realm who can compete with him.
At that moment, he cheered up and started fighting Zhang Kui seriously.
Zhang Kui was no less surprised than Wang Xu. As the saying goes, when you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent. For a while, he didn't even need to escape from the earth. He just wanted to rely on his martial arts to win or lose with Wang Xu.
Wang Xu noticed Zhang Kui's thoughts and was even more happy because he knew that for Zhang Kui, the Earth Escape Technique could increase his strength by 30% out of thin air. Now that he was abandoning it, he obviously wanted to start a martial arts battle.
He wasn't someone who liked to take advantage, so he immediately suppressed the idea of using the demon-binding rope to make a sneak attack, and wanted to see how long Zhang Kui could fight him.
"What a powerful force!"
Within Xiqi's main formation, Chanjiao Jinxian was watching the battle, his eyes full of shock.
Especially Chi Jingzhen, Huang Long Zhenren, and the Jinxian who were at the bottom of the list were all watching in secret, wondering if they could defeat the opponent if they were replaced by Wang Xu or Zhang Kui.
There is no certainty that the strength of the two of them is no weaker than those of them. Even if they use magic weapons, there is no way of knowing who will win and who will lose.
"Yuding, you have a good disciple!" Master Taiyi's eyes were full of envy. He was quite satisfied with his disciple Nezha, but compared with Wang Xuyi, Nezha's talent was even worse.
Master Yuding remained calm, looked at the gazes of all the fellow apprentices, and said with a smile: "The third generation chief disciple of the Taoist sect must be considered extraordinary."
Hearing this statement, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Wang Xu is not only the third-generation first disciple of the Taoist sect, but also the second-generation first disciple of the Chan Cult. He is naturally unrivaled among the younger generation in the world.
With such a second-generation disciple under the Chan Cult, it is conceivable that millions of years later, the Cult will have another invincible person in the world.
"Zhang Kui, it would be a pity to let you die like this. If you are willing to follow me, I can ensure that you enter the Chan Cult and avoid the catastrophe of becoming a god."
After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, Wang Xu became more and more appreciative of Zhang Kui's strength and couldn't help but start to recruit him.
Zhang Kui was holding a sword in his hand, and the tiger was furious. Hearing this, he became unhappy and became angry, shouting: "You traitor in Xiqi, I, Zhang Kui, have been favored by the emperor many times and have a loyal family. You traitor, you'd better dismount and die."
"It's a pity, it's a pity"
Wang Xulian said that it was a pity that Zhang Kui was just from a wild background, and it was not easy to get to where he is today. If he were allowed to become a disciple of the Chan Cult and learn the unique skills of the saints, his future achievements would be limitless.
To be honest, he didn't want to see a strong general like Zhang Kui sacrificed in the Great Tribulation of the Gods. Because of his talent and strength, he should have greater achievements in the future. If he were to be on the God List, his life would be ruined.
It's a pity that God failed to fulfill his wish. Zhang Kui can be regarded as one of the most loyal people to the Yin and Shang Dynasties during the Conferred God Period.
In the novel, Huang Feihu rebelled, Su Hu rebelled, Li Jing rebelled, Chong Heihu rebelled, and even the seemingly loyal General Hengha rebelled in the face of life and death.
Zhang Kui, however, remained consistent and never gave up on the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
When he died fighting hard, he only lamented that he was determined to kill the enemy but was unable to save himself. What he wanted was not to surrender to Xiqi, but that he could not stop Xiqi from advancing eastward.
How can it not be a pity for such a person to be on the list of gods? After all, there are tricks on the list of gods. There is a huge difference between the physical body and the true spirit clone. The former can listen to the instructions but not the announcement, while the latter can only be a slave. From now on, the path
Cut off, the true spirit cannot escape from the list of gods, and there is no possibility of promotion in this life.
Therefore, Wang Xu wanted to subdue Zhang Kui more than to kill him, but Zhang Kui's words came to this point. Just like Guan Yu captured Pang De, not killing him would not be enough to show his loyalty. Wang Xu's intention to capture him and surrender was also
It faded away.
"go!"
After hundreds of rounds of draws, Wang Xu lost the will to continue. With a thought in his mouth, the demon-binding rope rose into the air.
Zhang Kui was fighting, but he didn't expect Wang Xu to use his magic weapon. He couldn't dodge and was tied up.
Wang Xu rode up on his horse, raised his sword and cut off Zhang Kui's head. Zhang Kui, the star of the Seven Killers, returned to his position.
"Husband, husband!"
On the city wall, Gao Lanying was playing drums. When she looked up and saw her husband being killed by Wang Xu, she flew down to the city to snatch the body.
"Brother, be careful!"
In front of Xiqi's main formation, Nezha, who had returned from injury and was repairing, was watching. At this time, he saw Gao Lanying rushing to the battlefield. Without thinking, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow at Gao Lanying.
puff!!
The arrow pierced her chest, and Gao Lanying fell to the ground.
When she was dying, looking at her husband's body not far away, Gao Lanying smiled miserably, and she was on the list of gods.
"pity!"
Wang Xu muttered "It's a pity" again and rode back to Xiqi's main formation. Before entering Xuanmen, he loudly said: "The whole army listens to the order and allows Chaoge soldiers and horses to retrieve the bodies of Zhang Kui and his wife. No one is allowed to shoot arrows."
, Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded.”
The commander-in-chief had spoken, so naturally no one dared to test the law. The gates of Sishuiguan were left wide open, and Zhang Kui's own soldiers rushed out of the city to retrieve the corpse.
After the body was recaptured, Zhang Kui's lieutenant stood in front of the closed door and thanked Xiqi Camp.
For a time, both the enemy and ourselves were silent. The loyalty of Zhang Kui and his wife, and the righteousness of Wang Xu, were passed down from mouth to mouth among the soldiers of both armies.
"Senior brother is so righteous. If I had known earlier, I would not have shot that arrow. I thought that woman was going to be harmful to senior brother." Nezha, who shot Gao Lanying to death, took off his bow and arrow and said to Wang Xu with an annoyed look on his face.
.
Wang Xu shook his head slightly, Gao Lanying and Zhang Kuifu were in love with each other, and they were determined to die when they saw Zhang Kui died in the battle, otherwise who would snatch the body before the fight was over.
Even if Nezha doesn't shoot the arrow, I'm afraid Gao Lanying won't be able to survive alone. It doesn't matter if he doesn't shoot.
Seeing that Wang Xu was in a low mood, Nezha stopped talking and looked up at Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya saw that it was getting late and the battles between soldiers and generals were one loss and one victory. He gave up his intention to fight again and ordered: "Ming Jin withdraws his troops and will fight with Wen Zhong tomorrow."
Both sides stopped fighting and each led their troops back to the camp, killing chickens and cattle to make corrections, looking forward to fighting again in the future.
night
"Today our side wins and loses. Tomorrow's battle will be crucial. I wonder how many senior brothers are sure?"
In the evening, Jiang Ziya held a banquet to celebrate Wang Xu's victory while convening the immortals of the Chan Sect to discuss countermeasures.
After hearing this, Master Taiyi said: "Pindao has also heard of the names of the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island. These ten are the best at formations. They represent the highest attainments in formations among the disciples of the Chan Cult. They should not be underestimated.
.However, although the Ten Heavenly Lords are powerful, we are not vegetarians. Those ten people are not even our direct disciples, so how can they be our opponents?"
There are twelve golden immortals in Chanjiao, and there are eight direct descendants in Jiejiao.
In terms of status, the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island are only registered disciples, and are incomparable to direct disciples such as Master Taiyi.
Naturally, his cultivation level is also weaker than theirs. If he is stronger than them, doesn't it mean that the ability of Sage Yuqing to teach his disciples is not as good as that of Sage Shangqing.
Of course, if we seriously calculate it, Yuanshi Tianzun's ability to teach his disciples is really not as good as that of Tongtian Cult Master.
In the novel, the strength shown by the Twelve Golden Immortals is inferior to Taoist Duobao, Sanxiao, and Zhao Gongming's direct disciples.
Comparing it, the strength gap between the two sides is a bit like Tian Ji's horse racing.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Master are both high-grade horses, Twelve Golden Immortals and the eight direct disciples of Jie Jiao are medium-grade horses, and the named disciples are low-grade horses.
Among the superior horses, Yuanshi Tianzun cannot defeat Tongtian Cult Leader.
Among the middle horses, the Twelve Golden Immortals cannot beat the Eight Immortals.
Among inferior horses, the registered disciples of Chanjiao are no match for the registered disciples of Jiejiao.
Therefore, when Fengshenzhong Chanjiao fights against Jiejiao, it is always a case of high-grade horses against medium-grade horses, and medium-grade horses against low-grade horses. This is how we win every time.
Although low-level horses like Shi Tianjun are powerful, they are still not good enough against middle-level horses like Twelve Golden Immortals. The only difference is whether they win more or less.
With this thought in mind, how could the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao feel that they were no match for the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island.
