Cui Zhongzhen felt a bit like a clown.
Really like a clown.
In the past six or seven years, he has always appeared in front of everyone as Fang Jie's best friend. Because of this, his status in the Black Banner Army has always been very special. Because of this, when Fang Jie left Chang'an City, he handed over the army and even Chang'an City to him, and no one raised any objections.
In the past few years, he has been seriously playing the two roles of Fang Jie's good friend and loyal subordinate. And there is no doubt that he has been deeply involved in the show over the years. Even during such a long period of time, he thought that he had really forgotten the conspiracy behind it, and really felt that he was Fang Jie's good friend.
However, when that chair was placed in front of him and he had the opportunity to sit in it.
Everything has changed.
He was completely unrecognizable at this time.
He felt that he must look ugly.
Then he saw Liu Enjing, and he found that Liu Enjing looked uglier than himself.
When Wu Yiyi, Marquis of Sanjin, started beating him, only Liu Enjing didn't react and stood there in a daze. When everyone entered the Tai Chi Hall, Liu Enjing was still standing outside in a daze. Because he knew that he had also been exposed.
But no one hit him.
No one even paid him any attention.
It was as if he was someone who had nothing to do with the incident, tossed aside. At this moment, Liu Enjing knew what it means to be ashamed. At this time, Liu Enjing actually knew one thing very well, he had already been eliminated from the competition before completing his task.
In other words, he became an abandoned child in advance. His mission was to assist Cui Zhongzhen in controlling the army after Fang Jie was killed. But this link will obviously not appear, because Cui Zhongzhen was discovered, and he also appeared. What happened after that would have nothing to do with him anymore.
It doesn't matter whether it is the Tiankonghui's success or the Fangjie's success.
He has become a worthless person.
He looked at Cui Zhongzhen, and found that the other party was also looking at him.
Relatively silent.
…
…
"I know you're stalling for time, you think you can wait until Zhang Yiyang and Xiao Yijiu settle the matter at Changchun Garden, and then come to help you, right?"
Xu Xi was a little angry.
He hadn't been angry for many, many years.
He has lived for so long, and he has lived for such a long time under the huge pressure of No. 1 Middle School. It is reasonable for him to see everything very openly. In fact, he has always thought that he is very open about everything. Even if there is always a voice in his heart reminding him that you are a coward...
I have lived under the shadow of Wan Xingchen for so many years, living underground all day and not daring to see the sun. If it is three or five days, a normal person can still persist, but if it is three or five months, a normal person will probably go crazy. . But for him, he is not three to five months, nor three to five years, but more than two hundred years.
Even though he found out later that Wan Xingchen's cultivation was greatly reduced, he still didn't dare to go out.
Because he wasn't sure if he could beat Wan Xingchen whose cultivation base had been reduced by almost half. He still can't forget the sword that happened more than two hundred years ago. It was because he also used a sword that he knew how terrifying Wan Xingchen's sword was. It was a sword without any fancy at all, and it wasn't even considered magnificent. But he knew that even the current him, the two of him, might not be able to block that sword.
Fang Jie looked at him and shrugged his shoulders without any pressure.
This made Xu Xi's anger even stronger.
However, Xu Xi always felt that there was some power behind Fang Xie that made Fang Xie so unscrupulous. He didn't believe that someone like Fang Jie would take risks for no reason. Having reached the current height and position, there is no need for Fang Jie to take risks. If Fang Jie was with Zhang Yiyang and Xiao Yijiu, Xu Xi knew that he might not be able to kill Fang Jie directly.
Although Xu Xi didn't know what the cultivation bases of Zhang Yiyang and Xiao Yijiu were.
To him, Zhang Yiyang is still a junior, let alone Xiao Yijiu
When he was famous all over the world, there was no such person as Zhang Yiyang.
However, Xu Xi knew that there was never any fairness in this world. Because when he was famous all over the world, Wan Xingchen was just a rookie. At that time, who would have thought that Wan Xingchen could easily defeat him, the number one in the world
Because of this, Xu Xi began to redefine himself.
Later, he knew that people like Sang Luan existed. He was extremely shocked and terrified, because he was not even as good as Wan Xingchen, and Wan Xingchen was obviously no match for Sang Luan. After all, Sang Luan has a thousand years of cultivation. He began to face up to himself, and he didn't dare to think that he had once been number one in the world. He felt that he should be ranked after Sang Luan and Wan Xingchen... the third in the world.
"How long has it been since you walked the rivers and lakes?"
Fang Jie suddenly asked, "Two hundred years? Two hundred and fifty years? Two hundred and eighty years?"
Fang Jie's words brought Xu Xi back to his thoughts.
"Mr. Wan once said that he used to be this Jianghu. But in his later years, when his cultivation base became stronger and stronger, he said that he could not get out of this Jianghu. Because Mr. Wan knows that the Jianghu is not static. In your thoughts, you Your opponent may always be Wan Xingchen. The rest of your life is just for the purpose of surviving under the pressure of Wan Xingchen, so humble and cowardly, what else can you achieve?"
"It's just living on its laurels."
Fang Jie's words stabbed Xu Xi's heart like a knife.
"Of course you can think that you can kill me with a casual shot."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "You are an old monster who has practiced for hundreds of years, and I have been able to practice for less than ten years. Even if there is no fairness in this world, you still don't need to treat me as someone who can An opponent who is facing squarely. But you have not made a move until now, why?"
Fang asked.
Of course Xu Xi wouldn't tell him, because Xu Xi was worried that Fang Jie still had some undisclosed strength hidden in him. If Xu Xi said this, he was showing weakness to a junior. With Xu Xi's seniority, can he do such a thing
"Because you are suspicious."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "You clearly think that I am just delaying time, and there is always a voice in your heart telling you to kill me as soon as possible, but you still don't do it. Why are you suspicious? Because you think I am hiding some possibility Threatening your power. Why do you think so?"
Fang Jie raised his hand and pointed to Xu Xi's nose: "Because you are not confident. Since you were defeated by Mr. Wan with a sword more than two hundred years ago, you have no confidence anymore. All your pride, all your achievements, They all became so humble under that sword. Even if you are facing at least one junior student, you still don’t have self-confidence.”
Fang Jie shook his head: "You are so pathetic... so pathetic."
…
…
Changchun Garden
A few hundred meters away from the three-story wooden building
Zhang Yiyang and Xiao Yijiu stood side by side.
In front of them was an old woman who looked like she might die by herself at any time. This old woman had reached the point where she couldn't tell her age at all, even someone like Zhang Yiyang couldn't deduce anything from her face. Some people say that the wrinkles on a human face are the annual rings of a big tree, representing the vicissitudes of life.
Obviously, when the annual rings of a big tree have enough rings, the big tree will be strong enough to hold it. And this old woman's face can't grow bigger with age, so wrinkles or something... really uncomfortable.
"Junior, get out of the way."
The old woman was leaning on a crutch with a crested head in her hand. The shape was very unique and exquisite. It looked like it was made of pure gold, and it should be very heavy.
"It's interesting."
Zhang Yiyang looked at Xiao Yijiu: "Junior, she's talking about you."
Xiao Yijiu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, with an expression that I am still very young: "If my cultivation allows me to live to her age, I may not have the courage to live... It's not that I don't respect the elderly, It’s already like this, is it really interesting?”
"Don't you still think that at this age you still care about your appearance?"
Zhang Yiyang curled his lips: "But I really care..."
The wrinkles on the old woman's face became heavier.
"I haven't been in the rivers and lakes for many years. It turns out that the juniors have become so unruly and fearless. Don't you think that your cultivation base is already good? It's really chilling that your current rivers and lakes are withered. It's just like the two of you. People who have seen a glimpse of the secret are already so arrogant. I really don't know if the world will be even more miserable if you two die."
"Don't be funny...mother-in-law."
Xiao Yijiu couldn't help laughing out loud: "These words are horrible, can you bear it yourself?"
"court death!"
The old woman was furious, and then made a violent move.
The Daoist robe on Xiao Yijiu's body immediately bulged up, and a pure Daoist Qi filled the air.
But in the next second, the old woman rushed towards the three-story wooden building like electricity.
"That's all!"
Zhang Yiyang snorted coldly, and disappeared in a flash.
Xiao Yijiu clasped his hands together, and then pushed forward!
A wild burst of true energy rolled over from the old woman's back.
The strength of the true energy has reached a very high level of martial arts in this world. Therefore, even this old woman did not dare to ignore it. She could only turn around and withdraw her inner strength to resist with both hands. At this time, Zhang Yiyang had already reached the outside of the three-story wooden building, and when he stepped on it, a hole opened in the ground, and the crack circled around the wooden building. The crack is not extremely wide, only about a foot, and it doesn't look deep.
But after the crack appeared, the wooden building seemed to be out of this world.
"Let's see if you can break through my two large formations."
He stood at the front of the formation with a serious face.
…
…
"Let's do it, even I don't think it's interesting."
Fang Jie stretched his body and looked around: "It's a pity that this place has been destroyed, I have to allocate funds to rebuild it. How about this, you and I have a one-on-one duel in another place? Of course, I may take advantage of it by doing this. Because you are an old man, you will get tired from running around."
"If I don't crush you to ashes today, I will have no face to come out of the rivers and lakes again."
Xu Xi raised his hand and pointed forward.
A sword burst out with full force!
So fast, so fast beyond imagination.
The sword intent directly pierced a big hole in the Tai Chi Hall, and then the sword intent remained undiminished, breaking through countless houses and walls along the way, and no matter what it passed, it was pierced. The sword intent was like a straight line, cutting directly from the Tai Chi Hall to the north wall of Chang'an City!
One sword, crossed half of Chang'an city!
Dozens of miles with one sword!
With a bang, a deep crack appeared on the tall and majestic city wall.
