After being reminded by Zhu Qilan, Lu Bei finally realized that his opponent's surname was Zhu, and he quickly swallowed down his patriotic remarks such as "the whole family will be executed and all nine generations of the family will be implicated".
It was a close call. I almost got implicated.
"If you want to rob my entire family, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so!"
Zhu Bangbai sneered three times, and determined that "Housekeeper Yu" was Zhu Qilan in disguise, so he did not doubt "her" nonsense.
The royal family dreamed of chopping off the heads of several great elders. It was not so much an outrageous statement as it was a heartfelt statement, spoken from the heart in a desperate situation.
Looking at the master and servant who had exchanged identities, Zhu Bangbai narrowed his eyes slightly, and a plan came to his mind. He secretly sent a message to Zhu Shilin and Xiahou Changzhi, explaining the actual situation and asking them to find a chance to capture the maid who had disguised herself as the grown-up princess.
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.
Zhu Bangbai has been hostile to Zhu Qilan for decades. Although he doesn't know him very well, he has also analyzed many of his weaknesses.
First, Zhu Qilan didn’t have many friends and treated Housekeeper Yu like a sister, so capturing her would make it easier for negotiations later.
Second, Zhu Qilan is cold on the outside but fragile on the inside, and is not as tough as he appears.
For example, although she readily turned down the engagement, she still felt guilty about it because she acted on her own will and ignored the interests of the royal family, which helped Huangji Sect. She has never let it go.
It is for this reason that Zhu Qilan rarely participates in clan gatherings, and in recent years, he has had little contact with the capital.
The above two analyses say that Zhu Bangbai has good observation skills, which is a bit exaggerated, but there is nothing wrong with praising her for her normal eyesight.
Zhu Qilan has been hiding during the day and coming out at night for years. He is either practicing or killing people. He is almost a nocturnal creature. His social circle basically relies on ghosts. Everyone can see this.
But her guess about the real reason why the eldest princess disliked socializing and refused clan gatherings was not completely unrelated, but it was also a little bit off from Uncle Wang challenging Uncle Yu.
Let's put it this way, Zhu Bangbo succeeded in leading the rhythm time and time again, causing Zhu Qilan to be besieged by many relatives and friends, tragically planting a demon in his heart. It was purely a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
To this day she still doesn't know that she has accomplished something great. She thinks she has only suffered losses and never gained any advantages.
As for the two rookie teammates, when they heard Zhu Bangbo’s telepathic instructions, they wailed in their hearts and their faces became uglier than each other.
Zhu Shilin was lucky because he was related to Zhu Bangbai by blood, and the great elder above Zhu Bangbai was also protecting him, so he was not afraid of offending the eldest princess of the royal family.
But no matter how afraid he was, he was just a junior, at the innate realm, and didn't want to get involved in the fight between two old women at the spirit transformation realm.
Xiahou Changzhi was even more miserable. Zhu Shilin had someone above him, but he did not. If he was really beaten to death or crippled, his biological father and elder brother would at most shout a few times and make some trouble to gain some resources for the family.
Revenge is impossible, everything is for the family, he can even think of the lines of the two.
He is my own son/brother, he is talented, honest and upright, I can’t let him be disabled like this, I have to pay more!
The two of them communicated with each other, implicitly and tactfully expressing their own lack of strength and inability to shoulder the heavy responsibility. They were scolded by Zhu Bangbo. The maid and the housekeeper had only innate cultivation, and the two of them worked together to make steady progress, so nothing was impossible.
Seeing this, the two knew that the matter could not be resolved amicably, so they had to bite the bullet and agree.
Zhu Bangbai then gave up and ordered to act according to the plan. She would personally deal with Zhu Qilan who was disguised as a maid. The two of them should be smart and find the right opportunity to take down the fake princess nearby.
The charges have all been thought out. Steward Yu pretended to be a member of the royal family and defrauded people. He should be sentenced to death and cut into pieces.
Butler Yu: “…”
He did what he said. Zhu Bangbai had suffered a great loss before and was eager to regain his face. With a short sword in his hand, he slowly walked towards Lu Bei.
The magic power activated the secret method of the Huangji Sect. With every step he took, a large amount of spiritual energy poured into his own acupoints. The magic power in his body surged rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he exceeded the limit of the great perfection of the spirit transformation.
Awesome, it's no wonder that he has someone above him.
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows. In his perception, Zhu Bangbai was like a bottomless abyss. The power of heaven and earth poured into his body every moment, which was exactly the same as the ability of the Lianxu realm to mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
"Changming, you have been avoiding me for these years. I have something to say to you that I have never had the chance to tell you."
Zhu Bangbai smiled slightly, brushed the black hair by his ear, and said bluntly without waiting for Lu Bei to speak: "Your fiancé is quite capable and served me very well."
“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”
Lu Bei took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling as if he had found a treasure. He quickly suppressed his joy and replaced it with an expression of inexplicable sorrow: "Don't try to lie to me, it's impossible. How did he serve you? Explain clearly."
On the left side, Zhu Shilin and Xiahou Changzhi, who were slowly surrounding them, paused and stopped at the same time, listening attentively, thinking to themselves that it was a good question.
No other meaning, just curious.
On the other hand, the real Princess Changming, Zhu Qilan, rolled her eyes, hoping that she would not be involved when the dogs started to bite each other.
What does her fiancé mean? What does it have to do with her
"… "
Seeing that his mortal enemy was not only not angry but even a little excited, Zhu Bangbai fell silent.
She never expected that Zhu Qilan was even more shameless than her. She cursed him inwardly as a bitch. His body holding the sword shook and split into thirty-six parts, surrounding her layer by layer, leaving continuous afterimages.
clang clang—
The sword moves were like a violent storm, with countless sword energies surging like a surging tide, enveloping Lu Bei from all directions. The next second, the tides piled up layer by layer, causing a roaring sonic boom, and a tsunami rumbled down.
"The sword light is not pure, only the sword is worth looking at."
The moment the roaring sword wave came towards him, Lu Bei put his fingers together, and his fingertips lit up with a thin cold light, and he slowly pushed forward.
The sword energy touched the fingertips, making a bitter sound of friction, but it was unable to damage the sword body and instead broke into pieces.
Lu Bei clenched his fist, then stretched out his arm horizontally, and a beam of scorching white light pierced through the surface, knocking the sword energy in front of him into oblivion.
As the huge sound wave exploded in an instant, ripples rose and the earth shook for a moment, as if an earthquake had occurred. The surrounding ground was blown apart into pieces, and horrible cracks spread rapidly.
Tearing apart the sword net set up by Zhu Bangbai, Lu Bei didn't see any figure around him. He closed his eyes and sensed it slightly, then quickly retreated three steps, put his fist under his abdomen, and suddenly threw a straight punch forward.
boom!!
The fist pierced through the air, and the roars of tigers and dragons were terrifying.
At this moment, Zhu Bangbai appeared from the void. His delicate body, which was holding a sword, suddenly stopped. His eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at the fist in front of him that was getting bigger and bigger, and astonishment was written all over his pretty face.
With a loud bang, Zhu Bangbai used his front armor to steadily block the punch, repeating his previous disastrous defeat. He was released into the air like a kite. After landing, he coughed up blood and hurriedly took out a bottle of "Bu Tian Sui" and poured it into his mouth.
It's so lonely.
Lu Bei took a step forward and came in front of Zhu Bangbai as if teleporting. He took away the healing elixir and swallowed it into his mouth with a gulp.
After doing all this, he returned to his original position in front of Zhu Bangbai, looking as if nothing had happened, and his standing posture was exactly the same as before.
The high-speed movement could not be captured by the naked eye and even the perception could not keep up. Zhu Bangbai was terrified and waved his hand to summon the magic sword, which floated in the air in front of him.
The physical sword energy split into hundreds and thousands, and the triple talismans were superimposed, making the defensive shell water-proof on all sides, and the earth escape technique was sealed and blocked, making it as solid as a rock.
As we all know, "impregnable" is a derogatory term, and no defense line with this name can have a good ending.
It's not completely useless. Triggering the reverse BUFF can speed up the enemy's advance.
Lu Bei used the skill of "Escape" and jumped into the defense line. As soon as Zhu Bangbai took out the healing medicine, he reached out to take it, nodded politely, and left, leaving behind carbon dioxide as a return gift.
After failing twice in a row and not being killed, Zhu Bangbo realized something even though he no longer had any combat skills.
Her mortal enemy didn't take her seriously at all and came to her to buy goods.
"This is too much!"
Zhu Bangbai's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was rapid, and his heart was beating fast. A point of black light shot out from between his eyebrows, disappeared into the void, and chased after Lu Bei.
boom!!
The distorted air had no regular pattern to be found. Lu Bei flew backwards and knocked down more than ten stalactite columns.
Then, the black jade pendant emerged from the void, grew in the wind, and turned into a huge black rock about an acre in size. It froze the space, blocked all retreat routes, and rumbled towards Lu Bei.
Boom—
The black magic weapon locked the space, and Lu Bei's air escape skill failed, and he couldn't perform underground escape either. The stalactite forest within a radius of dozens of feet collapsed one after another and was smashed to pieces. He raised his hands, but was unable to lift the tripod, and was knocked into the ground.
Zhu Qilan frowned as he looked at him, knowing that the man had a strong body and extremely vigorous vitality, and that it wouldn't be a big problem for him to take two more hits. He smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that he had finally seen a dog-eat-dog fight.
For a moment, he even felt like joining the battle and sparring with Lu Bei or Zhu Bangbo.
At this time, Zhu Shilin and Xiahou Changzhi acted according to the plan, seized the opportunity accurately, and pounced on Zhu Qilan from the left and right.
After Zhu Bangbai's careful and reasonable analysis, both of them knew that the eldest princess in front of them was a fake, a maid in the Xiantian realm in disguise.
Two to one, it’s a sure thing!
Like a sleepy person hitting the pillow, the two innate realm masters were a little weak, but they could barely relieve the itch in their hands. Zhu Qilan raised the corners of his mouth, raised five fingers, and waved away the bone-chilling wind.
Then…
There was no more, the battle was over before it even began.
The two men half-knelt on the ground, shivering. They tried their best to practice martial arts, but they could not get rid of the coldness in their bodies. They only felt their blood, flesh and veins gradually freezing, and their bodies became indescribably hot.
After failing to get together for warmth, Zhu Shilin and Xiahou Changzhi huddled together and fainted at the same time.
Because the two men knelt so quickly, Zhu Bangbai, who had average combat skills, didn't notice it at all. He took a bottle of healing medicine, withdrew the defenses that were of some use, burned his magic power without regard for the consequences, and drove the magic weapons to bombard the enemy.
No one knows what material the black jade pendant is made of or who made it. It not only blocks space, but also has the miraculous effect of interrupting spells.
Lu Bei was hit by several bricks, and his several skills were interrupted. He could only lie there in a "wood" shape and let the old lady whip him.
The only benefit is that the sword body gains experience.
And the increase is quite considerable.
With the upper hand, Zhu Bangbai's thoughts were clear. He felt that he could expect to achieve the goal of refining the Void. He covered his mouth and laughed three times: "Bitch, why don't you show your true colors!"
After saying this, the brick suddenly increased in size, its weight surged, and it rumbled down through space.
