"Because behind Lu Shenliu is a behemoth that is even bigger than them... Or, although they are uncertain, they dare not gamble."
Xue Jing's heart moved, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
Ning Yuantai continued to lower his voice, as if the person he was going to mention next, even if he just said it out loud, forced him to be as respectful as possible.
"The highest honor in the old martial arts world is the seven great titles, which are the goal of all martial artists who practice old martial arts... The reason why the seven great titles are so attractive and valuable, in addition to the honor itself, there is another reason."
"All martial artists who obtain the seven major titles will receive a special privilege."
"That is to say, the qualification to meet the end and destination of the martial arts, the Extreme Martial King!"
Xue Jing's eyes flashed, but he said nothing.
"According to legend, that person exists simply by standing there."
"He just stood there motionless, doing nothing. Anyone who saw him seemed to have seen the ultimate of martial arts, which could make their own martial arts skills advance by leaps and bounds!"
Ning Yuantai opened his arms and said exaggeratedly.
Xue Jing: "Why is it like a fantasy novel..."
Ning Yuantai shook his head and said, "According to the descriptions of those who have seen King Jiwu, it is just that exaggerated."
"After Lu Shenliu obtained the title of 'Hegemon', he also met King Jiwu."
"And that person, when meeting Lu Shenliu, suddenly pointed at him and said something."
Ning Yuantai was about to act out the scene at that time, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at Xue Jing... Then he felt that something was wrong, so he quickly changed direction and pointed at Yun Qin, the confused little maid next to him.
"'This child is like me.'"
He said in a deliberately deep voice.
Yunqin: “…”
"With just these words, King Jiwu left without saying anything else or doing anything else."
Ning Yuantai put down his finger and said while shaking his head.
"But this sentence is enough, absolutely enough."
“It was just four short words, but when they came out of that person’s mouth, they were as heavy as Mount Tai.”
"Those who were originally ready to attack Lu Shenliu because he was too arrogant all stopped, and those who looked down on him and insulted him as a peasant who didn't know how to live or die all shut up instantly. Even some of the people from the Thirteen Great Families had to step over the threshold of the Tiger Palace, bring gifts and smile to his door to establish a good relationship with him, hoping that he would show mercy to them when he listed them as targets in the future. They didn't even dare to think about eliminating this hidden danger..."
After Xue Jing finished listening, he was silent for a moment and sighed: "So that's how it is..."
Ning Yuantai also said with emotion: "That Jiwu King is really the dream of all warriors. With just a few words that are not so clear in meaning, he can make the top forces surrender. This kind of power is so amazing and enviable!"
Xue Jing heard this and said without comment:
"Fist strength is power, and clenching a fist means holding power. The ultimate personal force symbolizes that anything in the world can be done with the fist in your hand."
"The rest, whether it's money or power, are essentially just substitutes for force. Because you can't get the ultimate personal force, you need to find ways to use other things to replace it in order to achieve the same effect."
As he spoke, in addition to his admiration for King Jiwu's power, Xue Jing also felt some inexplicable disappointment.
It turns out that Baidi Lu Shenliu had relied on others to get to this point... instead of relying on himself.
I don’t know whether he felt ecstasy or anger after hearing King Jiwu say that
If it was ecstasy, what would he feel when he realized what this feeling represented
Not knowing what Xue Jing was thinking at that moment, Ning Yuantai nodded in agreement and said, "You are right."
"So what about the second question? What's the difference between asking Lu Shenliu to take action and them taking action directly?"
Xue Jing continued to ask.
Ning Yuantai heard this, thought about it for a moment, and said:
"Actually, the difference isn't that big... But it's a matter of attitude."
"What do you mean?" Xue Jing asked.
"Well... to put it simply, if you ask Lu Shenliu to sell it, the price will be very high. It has to be some precious thing that cannot be bought with money."
Ning Yuantai touched his chin.
"This also represents the attitude of the person who asked Lu Shenliu to take action. It is equivalent to him saying: 'I am determined to kill people at such a high price. You should stop confronting me.'"
Xue Jing heard this and said, "So that's how it is."
In this way, if it was Zhu's small branch that invited Lu Shenliu, then Zhu was speaking to Wu Youqing and the Sixth Agency behind him, firmly stating that they wanted to kill him and hoping that Wu Youqing and the Sixth Agency would retreat.
Xue Jing shook his head. "What a boring political game."
He looked at Ning Yuantai and said with a smile: "Thank you for telling me the news, Yuantai."
Ning Yuantai saw that Xue Jing could remain so calm after hearing that the great White Emperor Lu Shenliu might come to kill him. He admired him but also worried:
"Brother Xue, what should we do if Lu Shenliu really comes to kill you?"
Xue Jing smiled and said softly:
"It's come to this... Let's eat first."
He looked at the little maid: "Yunqin, serve the food."
Ning Yuantai sighed: "As expected of you, you remain calm even when the sky is falling... Sister Yunqin! Please bring an extra set of bowls and chopsticks!"
…
After lunch, Ning Yuantai left.
Xue Jing rested for a while, returned to the room, thought about it, picked up the phone, found the number marked "Youqing Amen" in the address book, and clicked to dial.
What should I do if a top-level expert wants to kill me
The answer is simple.
Have a leisurely meal, and then go to the West to pray to the Buddha Youqing!
After the phone rang twice, it was quickly connected.
"Hey? Youqing Amen, only you can help me." Xue Jing said with a smile.
In fact, he was quite nonchalant in his heart... or rather, he was not afraid at all.
With his current means of saving his life, let alone Lu Shenliu, even if King Jiwu came and saw him, he would probably be scratching his head.
But it is still a big trouble... If he is the type who is so shameless as to insist on killing him, it would be a bit risky.
At times like this, we still have to look to Buddha Youqing.
“… I’ve received the message, don’t worry.”
Wu Youqing's quiet and pleasant voice sounded like magic, making Xue Jing feel that as long as she opened her mouth, nothing could not be solved.
"You are worthy of being here, Boss." Xue Jing flattered.
"Well, I'll arrange for someone to go there right away. Lu Shenliu can't get to you, so just focus on the game and leave the rest to me."
Wu Youqing said softly.
Xue Jing smiled and said, "By the way, Boss, I have already made some progress on the matter you asked me to do."
Yuqing Amen has really done so much for him, now it's time to return the favor.
"It will be done soon... probably in the next few days."
Wu Youqing seemed stunned: "Huh? So fast?"
She felt that the task she had entrusted to Xue Jing this time was still very difficult. After all, it was to sneak into a super company and steal important items with strict security. Therefore, she did not tell him a specific time to complete the task, but just asked him to do it when he was sure.
But she knew that Xue Jing was not the kind of person who spoke without purpose. Since he dared to say so, he must be sure.
So, she just whispered:
"Be careful, safety is the most important thing."
Chapter 256 Xue Jing vs Zhou Yinglin Second Match, what does holding a fishing rod mean? (4K)
"What exactly happened? Have you found out the cause?"
In the skyscraper center, on the 1009th floor of Xu's Biological Company, Xu Mude frowned slightly and looked at the middle-aged researcher in a white coat in front of him.
"Not sure yet... I checked, the holes on each compartment are all the same size, accurate to within a micron, and the smoothness is terrifying, it doesn't look like they were drilled by humans..."
The middle-aged researcher lowered his head and whispered his findings.
Xu Mude paused and thought: "It's not man-made. Could it be that a certain divine relic inside accidentally triggered some undiscovered new ability?"
The middle-aged researcher groaned and said, "... In theory, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Xu Mude waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Don't worry too much. Nothing is lost anyway. You can make some arrangements. Increase the number of staff and pay more attention to the guard. Even at night, someone should be on the lookout at all times to see if anything can be caught."
Middle-aged researcher: “Yes.”
After saying that, Xu Mude turned around and hurriedly got on the internal elevator, all the way to the 1049th floor.
"Mr. Baidi, what a rare guest you are!"
The automatic door opened to the left and right, and Xu Mude walked towards a tall young man while smiling.
That was a very strange boy.
The distance between his eyes is slightly wider than that of ordinary people, and his eye sockets are deeper, making him look like a mixed-race person.
Although he looks like a teenager, people who have seen him in person would not associate him with the word "teenager" at all.
He just sat there quietly, in a very casual posture, with his legs slightly apart, his right elbow resting on the armrest of the chair, his palm clenched into a fist, supporting his chin.
It was just such a casual posture, but his whole body exuded an extremely terrifying aura, like a real dragon in the clouds, a tiger lying on a hill, or a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching.
It didn't look like a human at all, but more like a "monster", a fierce tiger monster in human skin.
Xu Mude knew clearly in his heart that the man in front of him was nearly fifty years old, had been famous for more than thirty years, and was one of the top representatives of the old martial arts.
The reason why he looks like a young boy today is because he had already leapt over the dragon gate when he was a teenager, broke through the limits of human genes, achieved the sublimation of life level, and obtained a superhuman body.
The master who has broken through the limit and jumped over the dragon gate has spiritual consciousness covering every corner of his body, just like an 'emperor' who truly dominates his own body. He can command his body with an extremely powerful spirit and force optimization of his own genes.
Most masters who break through the limits are spiritually perfect and can adjust the state of their bodies at any time, keeping themselves at the peak throughout their lives. Their combat effectiveness will not decline due to aging. They will remain at their peak the same way they were when they broke through the limits.
Therefore, the younger the Grandmaster who breaks through the Limits looks, the more terrifying he tends to be.
"Mr. Lu, what does Brother Zhao want to do by inviting you to Yuancheng?"
Zhou Yinglin next to him asked with a somewhat dissatisfied look.
The man named Lu Shenliu glanced at him and said softly, "Since you already understand, why are you asking me?"
Unexpectedly, his voice was a rather soft and refreshing boyish voice, completely different from his terrifying and imposing appearance.
Zhou Yinglin's eyes twitched a few times, and he said stiffly: "I will take care of Xue Jing myself, there is no need to trouble Mr. Lu to do anything."
Xu Mude laughed and said, "Young Master Zhou is bragging again. I also watched the last match. The difference in your strength seems to be very big..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yinglin's expression remained unchanged. He just sneered and said, "You don't practice martial arts, what do you know? The reason I lost last time was not because of my strength, but because he used methods that were not martial arts."
"The Sixth Agency's Special Service Department deliberately concealed the information about this man's divine secret technique, catching me off guard. But this time I was prepared, and the result is different."
Xu Mude asked curiously, "Oh? But didn't Xue Jing use your Perfect Fit to defeat you? This isn't some secret technique bestowed by God..."
Zhou Yinglin said calmly: "I've already said it, I was just caught off guard."
"This guy is just trying to brag, saying that he learned everything from me in just a few days. This is simply impossible."
"It's no secret that he is perfect in our circle. He has a connection with that woman from Zhu's family. He must have obtained the perfect information from Zhu's family a long time ago. He studied it for an unknown period of time before he reached his current level."
"He may be talented enough to be able to practice to perfection, but eighty shots is his current limit. It's impossible for him to make any further progress in just a few days. But I'm different."
Zhou Yinglin clenched his palms, and there seemed to be flames burning in his pupils.
"Perfect against perfect, the one with the higher realm will win. I have my own way to reach the realm of a hundred needles and a thousand threads. Once I get on the ring and face him tomorrow, I will definitely win."
Lu Shenliu seemed to find it a little funny, but he didn't laugh out loud. He just said, "Don't worry, I will take action after your match with him is over. This is what Takeshiro Akira specifically mentioned."
Zhou Yinglin frowned.
Hearing the meaning in Lu Shenliu's words, it seemed that he had already determined that he would lose.
But then, Lu Shenliu seemed to have thought of something and said, "But... I may not have the chance to make a move."
