Chapter 599 Each with their own ulterior motives
Chapter 599 Each with their own ulterior motives
Shen Zhong naturally recognized Fan Xian.
And it was quite "memorable". His feud with Fan Xian is a long story.
Shen Zhong was surprised that Fan Xian had broken through to the level of Grandmaster in such a short time. This was quite remarkable.
"Was this kid deliberately hiding his cultivation level before? What is he plotting?"
He quickly realized something was wrong.
He possessed considerable intelligence on Fan Xian and the Qing Kingdom, but regarding Fan Xian, it was merely a few words. Even though he had reached the level of a ninth-rank master, the intelligence he possessed was nothing more than a fluke.
Now, in such a short time, Fan Xian has already reached the level of Grandmaster, which is not good news for Northern Qi.
It should be understood that the Grandmasters of different countries are mutually restraining each other. This is true for Northern Qi, Qing Kingdom, and Dongyi City. Each country has a Grandmaster stationed there.
The Qing Kingdom was already very powerful, and now with the addition of Fan Xian, a newly promoted Grandmaster, it was very bad news for their Northern Qi.
"Lord Shen, what should we do now?"
His deputy, Wei Hua, couldn't help but ask after seeing the terrifying combat power that Fan Xian unleashed.
He was a little undecided.
Fan Xian's level of cultivation, as well as the tremendous changes in Dongyi City, left Wei Hua somewhat unable to accept them for a time.
How could such a huge change have occurred in such a short period of time?
Moreover, the city lord of Dongyi City, Si Gu Jian, that Grandmaster, has not yet shown up and his whereabouts are unknown, adding another layer of gloom to the already gloomy Dongyi City.
It's quite strange that Dongyi City could remain uninvolved when a battle between Grandmasters had broken out there.
obviously.
What Wei Hua could think of, Shen Zhong, that old fox, could naturally think of as well.
He stroked his chin, his gaze fixed intently on Dongyi City and the battle between Fan Xian and Zhu Ying, where the Grandmasters were engaged in a fierce contest. He pursed his lips.
After catching his breath, Shen Zhong let out a soft sigh, smiled, and said in a low voice, "It seems things are more interesting than we imagined!"
"We made the right choice coming to Dongyi City!"
Shen Zhong looked Dongyi City up and down, which was shrouded in the mystery of the Grandmaster Battle. Even he couldn't figure out who was playing the game.
Moreover, the sudden appearance of the Ming Dynasty in Dongyi City made Shen Zhong feel that something strange was amiss.
"Could it be..."
Shen Zhong suddenly had a guess, and his gaze unconsciously turned towards the direction of Qing Kingdom.
"Lord Shen, Lord Shen!"
Seeing that Shen Zhong was still immersed in his own world, Wei Hua couldn't help but remind him.
Now that a battle between grandmasters is about to break out, he's not in a position to ponder this or that, and he's already undecided. As a result, Shen Zhong keeps getting distracted.
This made Wei Hua even more worried, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face.
"No rush, let's take another look!"
Shen Zhong pursed his lips again and quickly made a decision: now was not the time to alert the enemy.
The battle between Grandmasters is unlikely to stop anytime soon, so now is a good time to observe the situation on both sides.
That young man who suddenly appeared was probably the Ming Chinese who had recently appeared in Dongyi City.
I never expected that this tiny Ming Kingdom would have a Grandmaster, and one who is so young.
However, Shen Zhong was somewhat puzzled as to why Zhu Ying would also look around with swordplay.
of course!
Shen Zhong and the other Northern Qi people decided to wait and see, since the fight between Fan Xian and Zhu Ying was exactly what they wanted.
Doesn't this mean that the Qing Kingdom has made its stance clear? If the Qing Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom fight to the death, the Northern Qi Kingdom can just be the fisherman.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhong's lips curled up slightly. He had come here for the sake of Northern Qi and for the benefit of Northern Qi. How could Shen Zhong possibly give up something so profitable?
At the same time, after Fan Xian unleashed his full power, his Four-Look Sword Technique became even more ferocious.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
The Four-Sided Sword Technique was unleashed upon Zhu Ying with almost no blind spots, unleashing his full power as a Grandmaster.
Fan Xian's sword was like a venomous snake, specifically targeting Zhu Ying's most vulnerable spots, and every strike was aimed at Zhu Ying's fatal weakness.
However, when faced with Fan Xian's attack, Zhu Ying simply calmly used the same Four-Look Sword Technique to respond.
"Bang bang bang!"
The two swords clashed repeatedly, their longswords intertwining like two venomous snakes strangling their prey.
"Bang bang bang!"
The aftershocks of the battle created billowing dust all around, and soon the two were covered in yellow sand. Seeing that he was about to be hidden in the sand, Fan Xian immediately sheathed his sword.
To know.
He not only mastered the Four Directions Sword Technique, but his movement skills were also top-notch.
He immediately concealed his presence, disappearing into the rolling yellow sand like a venomous snake waiting for its chance.
After Zhu Ying entered the yellow sand, he sensed that Fan Xian had sheathed his sword and felt Fan Xian's aura disappear for a moment. Zhu Ying's lips curled up slightly.
"Hide and seek?"
Zhu Ying shook his hand, and his true energy instantly condensed in his palm.
Since Fan Xian wants to play, then he'll play along and show him how true powerhouses fight.
He forgot to tell Fan Xian, or rather Fan Xian should have forgotten, that there is an old saying that in the face of absolute strength, all skills are nothing but paper tigers.
As a Grandmaster, isn't Fan Xian strong in the world of "Joy of Life"?
Strong.
It's definitely strong.
Moreover, Fan Xian's current combat power can almost be said to be the ceiling of the "Joy of Life" world.
However, no matter how capable Fan Xian is, he has only just touched the threshold of the Divine Power Realm.
The powerful one is the future Fan Xian, not the present Fan Xian. To deal with the present Fan Xian is like an old man playing with a child.
He is now a true Qi Condensation Realm cultivator. The gap between the Divine Power Realm and the Qi Condensation Realm is like a chasm. It is no exaggeration to say that even if he were to lay down his defenses and let Fan Xian kill him, Fan Xian would not be able to kill him.
Needless to say.
Zhu Ying has used a little bit of his power, but Fan Xian is unaware of it.
Just then, seeing that Zhu Ying was not moving, Fan Xian used his top-notch agility to circle around behind Zhu Ying. Seeing that Zhu Ying seemed unaware of his intentions, Fan Xian's lips curled up slightly.
"A great opportunity!"
He held his breath, thinking to himself, and slowly raised the longsword in his hand.
He's about to make his move.
……
and.
Inside the city of Dongyi.
Seeing that Zhu Ying had not returned for a long time, and looking at the footage on the monitor and the terrifying Grandmaster power that had just erupted outside Dongyi City, Zhu Yuanzhang's worry almost crept into the corners of his eyes.
"No, we have to go check on that kid, U.A., I hope he's alright."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang had great faith in Zhu Ying's abilities, after all, Zhu Ying was never arrogant.
However, just as many parents worry when their children go out into the world, Zhu Yuanzhang was no exception.
Knowing full well that Zhu Ying was unlikely to be in any danger, and that his strength was unmatched anywhere, they should not have needed his help at all.
However, he was still worried. Although his cultivation level was only at the Divine Power Realm, even if there were someone who posed a threat to Zhu Ying, he would definitely not be able to help. But Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to go and see, even if it was just to protect his grandson.
The more he thought about it, the more sense it made, and Zhu Yuanzhang quietly left Dongyi City.
boom--
boom--
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left Dongyi City, he felt a series of terrifying explosions erupting outside the city.
A scorching heatwave swept across the entire outskirts of Dongyi City almost instantly.
The sky was filled with yellow sand, which had formed a sandstorm, looking both terrifying and frightening.
Above the swirling yellow sand, two figures were engaged in a frenzied battle, clashing violently.
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes, and when he saw the two figures, he recognized them almost immediately.
Isn't that Zhu Ying?
"Hero!"
He couldn't help but shout urgently, his little heart seemed to be pounding frantically at that moment.
What kind of powerful enemy did Zhu Yingdu encounter that led him into such a dangerous situation?
It should be noted that Zhu Yuanzhang rarely saw Zhu Ying in such a dilemma.
of course.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe that Zhu Ying would lose, but seeing this situation, his heart jumped into his throat.
……
Zhu Ying was clearly caught off guard by Zhu Yuanzhang's arrival, and even if he had, he wouldn't have had time to explain.
After all, a figure slowly appeared behind him, and that figure was none other than Fan Xian.
Fan Xian held his breath and shut down all five senses.
That was all for this fatal blow.
The moment he got close to Zhu Ying, he raised his sword and aimed it directly at Zhu Ying's neck.
"do not move!"
In Fan Xian's view, Zhu Ying had already lost the moment he got close to him.
At such close range, even if Zhu Ying possessed the power of a Grandmaster, he would have no chance of escaping.
He could deliver a fatal blow as soon as he got close, but he was very concerned about Zhu Yinghe's affairs with the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, Fan Xian had no reason to kill Zhu Ying directly; he still had many questions to ask Zhu Ying.
The matter concerning the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Ying's identity left Fan Xian with many questions.
Furthermore, the existence of Dongyi City and the reason why Zhu Ying was able to use the Four Directions Sword Technique left Fan Xian completely baffled, even after racking his brains.
However, Fan Xian overestimated himself, or rather, he underestimated Zhu Ying.
As the yellow sand began to slowly dissipate, Zhu Ying was nowhere to be seen.
Some were just afterimages formed by yellow sand, and under Fan Xian's astonished gaze, a voice slowly rang out.
Yes.
The sound came slowly from behind him.
Then, a voice drifted into Fan Xian's ears, saying, "Are you looking for me?"
The moment that voice rang out behind Fan Xian, Fan Xian was instantly jolted back by countless meters, as if he had been electrocuted.
He reacted like a startled deer, instantly unleashing the most extreme speed he had ever achieved in his life.
At that moment, only one word and one thought occupied Fan Xian's mind:
run!
Run!
Run, you idiot!
Fan Xian never expected that he would be surrounded.
What he thought was a foolproof kill almost cost him his life.
However, if Fan Xian can escape, surely Zhu Ying can catch up?
Just as Fan Xian thought he had cleverly created a distance of countless meters, a dazzling golden light suddenly enveloped him.
Immediately afterwards, that golden light instantly stole all the light from his eyes, from his face, and from his body.
In an instant.
A gigantic golden shadow, almost touching his face, instantly enveloped him.
At the same time, a roar accompanied this giant golden shadow.
"Roar!"
The earth-shattering roar of the dragon resounded, and the entire world seemed to begin to tremble violently at that moment.
Immediately afterwards, the golden dragon bared its fangs and claws as it charged toward Fan Xian.
Fan Xian was completely stunned the moment he saw the golden dragon.
"What...what is this?"
Fan Xian was dumbfounded.
His head was buzzing.
He had seen lions and tigers, ridden horses, and shot many animals.
After arriving in the world of "Joy of Life", he saw far too many strange and unusual things that he had never seen before.
horse.
donkey.
deer.
兔。
Wait, he had seen all of these before, but the dragon in front of him completely stunned him the moment he saw it.
It's not that he doesn't recognize the dragon; on the contrary, as a totem, no descendant of the Yan and Huang Emperors could possibly be unfamiliar with the dragon.
But do mythical creatures like dragons really exist? Nobody can say for sure.
So when a dragon actually appeared, Fan Xian was completely stunned; he hadn't even reacted yet.
However, the extreme threat of death made his hair stand on end instantly, and he rolled over in a flash.
A grandmaster, when faced with the threat of death, actually did something like a child rolling around on the yellow earth.
This action looked extremely awkward, even making the person appear somewhat comical, turning the Grandmaster Fan Xian into someone who was fighting like a street thug.
But faced with the threat of death, Fan Xian had no other choice. This real dragon truly wanted to eat him and kill him.
He had to make a choice.
After Fan Xian dodged the attack of the golden dragon, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could even feel relieved, countless golden dragons rushed towards him.
Zhu Ying unleashed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms one after another, completing eighteen palm strikes in less than a breath, completely surrounding and killing Fan Xian within these eighteen palm strikes.
Fan Xian was stunned as he looked at the golden dragon so close to him, then at the familiar palm technique Zhu Ying used, and at Zhu Yuanzhang rushing over from not far away.
That rich, familiar scent hit me right away.
At that moment, Fan Xian didn't even bother to dodge; he exclaimed in surprise:
"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms? And Zhu Yuanzhang, you..." (End of Chapter)
