I looked at Zhixing coldly and said, "Bet? Why should I bet with you, and why should I bet with you?"
Zhixing smiled and said, "Because the Prajna Temple has the jurisdiction over this mission, and I now believe that your actions are biased. Is this reason enough?"
I laughed and said, "Ye Jin, inform Dou Ma to send a message to the Taoist priests. Prajna Temple deliberately interfered with the Celebrity Contest. Please ask the Council of Elders to come out and make a ruling!"
I originally wanted to scare Zhixing, but he happily said, "That's the best. I believe the elders will make the final decision."
My brows furrowed immediately. It seems that Zhixing felt that he had won the battle, so he agreed to let us report to the Council of Elders. Moreover, this time Zhihui did not speak to stop us, which shows that Zhihui has acquiesced to the other party's actions.
Ye Jin whispered, "Zhao Zi, we can't force it. They can afford to delay, but we can't."
I suppressed my anger and said, "I agree to bet with you. What do you want to bet?"
Zhihui pointed to the big tree behind him and said, "Let's bet on whether the key is in this tree. If there is a key in the tree, I will not say a word from now on; if there is no key in the tree, then Mr. Wu, please leave the ring and go to the Prajna Temple to practice Buddhism and atone for your sins."
A chill gradually appeared in my eyes. Entering the secret tomb was imperative. Even if there was no key in the tree, I would still look for the mechanism.
I can't make this bet!
I said in a deep voice: "Impossible, I won't bet with you on this. Forget it!"
Zhixing clasped his hands together and said, "Then I can only help to protect the lives of the people."
"Then go die!" I drew out the Rakshasa without hesitation and slashed at the opponent. Ye Jin and Monk Shi also attacked Zhihui at the same time.
"Good timing!" Zhixing rushed forward fearlessly, the iron rod in his hand whistling up, and the dazzling shadows of the rod flew and flashed. The iron rod, which turned into hundreds of fan shadows, was swung wildly by Zhixing with great force, and instantly sealed the space around me.
Although Zhixing and I had not yet officially fought, he had already sent me a signal—I wanted to kill him, and he was also planning to keep me in the mountains.
Without saying a word, I raised my Xuanming Qi to its peak, and the sword light slashed out like a violent storm, attacking Zhixing with the force of sweeping away thousands of troops.
In just a moment, our weapons collided in mid-air. The cold light, which was covered with snowflakes, suddenly burst upwards and scattered, like fireworks suddenly exploding in the night sky, falling in all directions.
After Zhixing and I suddenly changed positions, deep fear welled up in each other's eyes.
If I had not learned the Zhan family swordsmanship in the ghost realm, there would be no way I could have taken on this exquisite yet powerful stick from the opponent.
As I landed, the true energy in my hand instantly vibrated towards the blade, and three ghost eye coins spun rapidly - I wanted to capture Zhixing in a short period of time, and the only way was to use the "Nine Fatal Swords".
Zhixing smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Wu attacked and killed the referee, which is a taboo in the Masters' Contest. Now please follow me back to apologize to the Council of Elders!"
"I'll kill you, so there's no need to apologize!" As I was speaking, I suddenly heard footsteps in the distance. Just a few seconds later, all the monks from the Prajna Temple gathered near us. It seemed that they had been prepared.
Zhixing stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wu, please stop! Although your Nine Fateful Blades are exquisite, they are useless in front of the Prajna Temple formation."
When I subconsciously looked at the blade, I found that the speed of the Ghost Eye Money had slowed down. Moreover, the closer the monks of the Prajna Temple were to me, the slower the speed of the Ghost Eye Money turned.
Can the magic array of Prajna Temple block the secrets of heaven
No, they are helping the souls to be reborn!
I caught a glimpse of the negative energy emanating from the ghost eye coins, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked. I quickly reached out and slapped the blade, shaking out the three ghost eye coins.
Before I could catch the ghost eye gold coins that were flying in the air, I heard a loud sound of swords clashing around me. It was six monks from the Prajna Temple who joined their iron sticks together, knocking down Monk Shi who was desperately trying to stop the enemy, and then they split up into six directions and flew sideways to attack me.
I was only slightly attracted by the opponent's formation, but Zhixing, who was five meters away, suddenly appeared in front of me as if he had teleported, and reached out to grab the Ghost Eye Money in the air.
"You dare?" I was furious, and I flipped my wrists and exchanged palm strikes with the other party. I didn't expect Zhixing to take my heavy blow, grabbing two ghost eye coins with both hands and flying back. The other party retreated five steps away, spitting blood and sneering: "Mr. Wu, you lose."
With every word Zhixing spoke, his feet turned, and he moved forward like a shadow, taking six steps at a time. The six monks who had just rushed towards me suddenly changed their positions, blocked Zhixing behind them, and rushed towards me again.
Although my eyes did not move, the Rakshasa sword in my hand suddenly rose up. I could no longer see the blade dancing as I attacked, only thousands of cold rays crisscrossed and flew rapidly amid the siege of the six iron rods.
In this life-and-death fight, the movements of both sides were so fast that they could not be followed visually. Every movement was seamless, and a single slash of the sword could involve more than ten or even dozens of different moves. Otherwise, the opponent would throw our rhythm off and we would die without a burial place.
But the greater crisis came from outside the six-man stick formation. Ye Jin and Shi Heshang were still fighting for their lives with four masters, so what would happen to them
I subconsciously glanced outside the formation. Ye Jin and the other two had been forced into a disadvantage, especially Monk Shi, who was in a precarious situation and surrounded by danger.
What is even more strange is that the monk Zhixing, who had snatched the two ghost eye coins, has been standing in the outer circle with a cold expression and lowered eyes since he withdrew from the battle group. He is as motionless as a clay sculpture or a wooden carving, and is completely indifferent to the fierce fighting in front of him. It is as if he has fallen into another world. No matter how we fight, we cannot attract the attention of the other side.
What exactly is Chi Hing doing
This thought had just flashed through my mind when the only ghost eye money I had recovered trembled.
Although the three ghost eye coins each have their own souls, they are closely related. The ghost eye coin gave a warning, which meant that the other two coins had undergone a drastic change. When I turned around, Zhixing had already clenched his hands into fists and raised them flat in front of him, and strands of soul power suddenly scattered from his fists.
Zhixing wants to destroy the ghost eye's money!
"Stop it!" As I roared, the iron rods in the hands of the monks of Prajna Temple had rolled up layers of energy like waves, turning over and over and pressing down on me.
As the murderous aura in my eyes surged, I also moved sideways, and the Rakshasa in my hand soared into the sky, seemingly ready to fight back against the opponent's attack, but at the moment when the tip of the knife was pointing to the sky, I suddenly turned the long knife and pierced through my left arm. The fast and fierce knife seemed to pass through the light and shadow of space, and went straight to kill the man behind me.
When the master behind me screamed, I retreated five steps, pressed my back against his chest, jumped out of the battle group with my long sword, and then drew out the sword again.
The blood-stained knife flashed in the air, and I threw the body away and rushed towards Ye Jin. When the remaining five furious monks followed, Zhixing shouted loudly: "Don't chase too close, he will turn his back to Yin Yang!"
"Turning Yin and Yang with the back hand and seizing the soul with the back hand" is the unrevealed secret of the Zhan family's swordsmanship. This is also my first time using it. How could Zhixing know it
But no matter what, the monks who were chasing me also slowed down their pace cautiously.
But I rushed towards Ye Jin at full speed.
When Ye Jin and Monk Shi were in danger at the same time, I chose to save Ye Jin first because the monk was carrying the Peach Blossom Gu. Once the monk was in mortal danger, the Peach Blossom Gu would automatically protect him. As a matter of urgency, I should help Ye Jin first.
I rushed towards Ye Jin, the long sword in my hand had already rolled up the sky with cold light, and I killed the two masters who besieged Ye Jin like a whirlwind. Ye Jin also roared at the same time, and the mountain-cutting sword in his hand roared like a dragon, and rushed towards one of the opponents with murderous aura.
"Retreat!" Zhixing and Zhihui shouted at the same time, while Ye Jin and I were already approaching each other. The man was careless and his abdomen was slashed open by Ye Jin's long sword. Ye Jin's sword swept across the man's left side, dragging a trail of blood, and my long sword also slashed down along the man's spine. Luosha's sword tip instantly slashed the man's back. When the man's two pieces of clothes flew up like blood-stained butterflies, Ye Jin followed with a palm to push the corpse away and joined me.
Just as the two of us were about to rescue Monk Shi, we saw the monk being hit in the chest by a stick, spitting blood and falling far away.
not good!
The peach blossom Gu didn’t move
I clearly saw that Monk Shi had given up his defense and rushed forward with all his strength, intending to meet us. Both he and I thought that the Peach Blossom Gu would suddenly explode before the opponent's attack, killing the opponent in one blow, and he would just be able to meet us. However, the invincible Peach Blossom Gu did not move at all, and Monk Shi not only did not rush over, but was severely injured and fell to the ground.
When Ye Jin and I stood up at the same time, someone had already put an iron rod to the monk's throat. Zhi Xing shouted, "Why don't you two surrender?"
"Go quickly..." Monk Shi had just shouted two words when someone pressed his throat with an iron rod, making him choke back the rest of the words.
I pulled Ye Jin up and quickly rushed out of the encirclement, pointing my knife at Zhi Hui who was blocking my way: "Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
As Ye Jin and I raised our two knives at the same time, Zhi Hui, who was blocking us, suddenly stepped back and made way for me. Ye Jin and I passed each other without hesitation, broke through the encirclement, and ran towards the village.
Zhixing roared, "If you take one more step, Shi Bucong will surely die!"
I shouted without even turning my head: "Zhi Xing, don't think I don't know what you are up to! Let's meet at the Shu Dao Elders' meeting!" (To be continued)
