Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 522: King of men

Views:

No matter how anxious you are to grow wings, the reality is that you can't fly, and you can only hold Wuzhui and ride the boat obediently.

There was no point in being anxious, since there was nothing else to do anyway. Zhao Changhe sat on the side of the boat, controlling his temper, sipping wine while casually flipping through the body-building method given by Situ Xiao, to see if he could combine it with his Blood Shura Body to increase his relatively weak defense capabilities.

Judging from the current understanding of martial arts and Li Shentong's previous suggestions, it is indeed impossible to combine them. The power movement mode and even the muscle combination mode are very different. However, Zhao Changhe felt that his understanding was still insufficient, and Li Shentong's understanding was not necessarily the standard answer. When the time comes, it may not be impossible to combine them. Let's leave it for later.

There are still some references for now, such as releasing external energy to form a short-term surface defense.

The so-called Gang Qi is actually a symbolic change after the second level of secret storage, when the internal and external flow and the external power are combined. The sword and sword energy that Zhao Changhe swung earlier was a prototype of this. When the internal and external are combined, it is as if the substance does not disperse, as if the sword has become longer, that is the sword and sword Gang.

The energy can be released through swords and knives, and can also be released through fists to create the effect of heavy artillery, and can also be spread on the body surface to form an energy shield. The methods of each sect to activate the energy shield are naturally different, and the method of the Shenhuang Sect is obviously the best in the world.

Even though even the most advanced method can only provide a momentary defense and cannot last long, it is still an additional means of preserving one's life and is very valuable.

In addition, Situ Xiao really gave me the essence of the Drunken Step... How should I put it? This thing is not just for showing off. Its pattern of rooting the lower body and blowing the body like a willow is indeed very valuable for reference. It is quite different from other body and footwork. Now that I have reached the stage of thinking about creating skills, this is a very useful supplement.

It's a pity that my mind is not here right now. I don't have the energy to think about the release of my internal energy or the drunken steps in detail.

Zhao Changhe closed the book, stood up and looked towards the east. The sun was rising and Wushan Mountain was looming in the distance.

The voices of other passengers were faintly heard: "Hey? Didn't people going to Wushan stop here in previous years? Why are they heading straight to Wu Gorge with the wind? Aren't they afraid of bandits?"

"Man, how many years have you not walked this waterway?"

"I haven't been here for only a year."

"One year. No wonder. The bandits in Wushan were recruited a few months ago, so this road is now open."

Zhao Changhe: “…”

Master Xue, the bandit leader of Wushan, please stop dwelling on your reputation of being bypassed. Apart from this matter, your reputation among the people doesn't seem to be that impressive.

People in the cabin were sighing: "It's so rare for the court to do some serious work!"

"The imperial court? Haha. This happened when Emperor Tang presided over the Battle of Xiangyang. It is said that it was King Shura who made the effort."

"Master Tang... No wonder. Eight out of ten decent things done by the court are related to her. And with King Shura's help, it will be easy to capture her."

"Uh..." Zhao Changhe poked his head into the cabin: "Excuse me, who is the Shura King? Yiping?"

"Well, of course it's Blood Shura Zhao Changhe! How can he be number one on the Human List but the Human King?"

"Zhai Muzhi is also number one on the Human Ranking. I've never heard of him being a king. He's just on the Human Ranking. You're exaggerating."

"Bah, does Zhai Muzhi have the qualifications to compete with the Blood Shura? He's not even worthy of carrying shoes!" A Jianghu man looked at Zhao Changhe with disdain: "Where did this young man come from? He doesn't even know this kind of Jianghu story?"

Zhao Changhe humbly asked for advice: "I would like to hear the details."

"Except for the top spot on the list this year, anyone who made it to the top of the list in the past would basically be crowned the king. In the past, Vulture Fang was called the Eagle King by the grasslands, but we just don't call him that. Why would we flatter the barbarians? King Shura is different. It's not an exaggeration to say that we watched him chop his way up..."

"But I don't want to be the Shura King..." Zhao Changhe muttered absentmindedly: "What the hell is this..."

The people in the cabin didn't hear it, but instead they all started talking: "How many times did the King of Zhao kill Zhai Muzhi? The previous ones seemed to have been killed with one strike, but the book doesn't say anything about this time..."

Why is King Zhao here again... Zhao Changhe clenched his head.

"After all, it's a battle for the number one spot on the Human Rankings, and Zhai Muzhi is such a shameless guy that he allowed people to attack him. The battle might have been so intense that the sky was dark and the sun and moon were dim."

"I think it will be two or three strikes at most. This is the style of the King of Zhao. He is unstoppable."

Zhao Changhe couldn't bear to listen to the awkward boasting any more, so he turned around and saw the captain of the boat coming over and clapping his hands, saying, "We are approaching the Wuxia port ahead, get ready to disembark."

Zhao Changhe breathed a sigh of relief, and when the boat reached the shore, he ran away holding Wuzhui as if he was escaping for his life.

As a result, just after getting off the boat and before he had time to ride his horse and leave, a group of Blood God followers came running up to him: "The leader is really wise, the Holy Son is really coming in the next two days!"

"Meet the Son!"

"Congratulations to the Holy Son for topping the Human Ranking!"

Zhao Changhe felt his face burning, and said angrily: "Why are you so much nonsense? Don't I know the way? Why do I need you to come to the ferry to pick me up?"

"Well, that's what the brothers wanted to do. The Holy Son is the pride of our Holy Church!"

The Blood God followers surrounded Zhao Changhe and led him up the mountain. The curses and flattery faded away along the way.

The people on the boat looked at each other. Who said "Where did this young man come from?" The man held his breath for a long time, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Everyone says he is the most down-to-earth potential dragon, but he is still the same when he is on the human list..."

Everyone laughed, as if it was indeed the case. He was not arrogant at all and was not even ashamed to be called the king.

… …

"I really can't hold it anymore, Old Xue, what the hell is this? It's just the Human Ranking. If you don't know, you would think it's the first on the Heavenly Ranking." Zhao Changhe followed Xue Canghai to the Holy Relic Chamber helplessly, complaining, "I'm going to Qinghe soon. Old Cui will laugh at me to death. I feel too embarrassed to face anyone."

"It is a common practice, but the replacement for the first place these days has little value, no one praises it. The one who makes it is different, he can really be crowned the king. Anyway, it's just people shouting for fun, it's not you who calls yourself that, who will laugh at you." Xue Canghai said: "Besides, your bloodthirsty Shura sounds like a fool at first, but after listening to it for a long time, isn't it quite pleasant? Just bear with it and it will pass."

"… "

"And Cui Wenjing, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to laugh at you." Xue Canghai sighed and said, "I just received news that the Wang family has surrounded Puyang."

Zhao Changhe opened his mouth and closed it again.

It should be said that it was expected, and there is no point in saying anything. One can only sigh that Cui Yuanyong's newly married wife is really a victim of the aristocratic family. It is conceivable how difficult it will be for this Miss Wang to live in the Cui family.

I don’t know whether Wang Daoning went into battle personally. If so, I wonder if Lao Cui has already started fighting with Wang Daoning.

A few days ago, it seemed that there had not been a competition for the Heavenly Ranking in the world for many years, but within a few days there were two consecutive competitions, the fifth and sixth, and the ninth and tenth.

The phrase “troubled times are coming” that has been on people’s lips since they traveled through time can finally have the word “will” deleted and changed to “full-scale coming”.

Zhao Changhe became more and more worried. Although Cui Wenjing ranked higher than Wang Daoning, there was something fishy going on behind Wang Daoning's back, and the Cui family's Qinghe Sword had not fully revived, so the outcome was hard to predict.

Xue Canghai was sighing: "Damn it, I tried to kill Wang Daozhong before but failed. If I can really kill this bastard, the Wang family will also gain an arm."

Zhao Changhe came back to his senses and asked, "How did you bump into Wang Daozhong?"

"About half a month ago, the holy object went crazy for some reason, shaking wildly, and its energy was extremely unstable. Wang Daozhong came to cause trouble at this time. He knew about your relationship with us and came to cause trouble for us. As a result, I don't know what disease he had, but he was suddenly seriously injured... Otherwise, our village would have been picked on."

“Old Wang is such a lowly person…” Zhao Changhe thought about it and didn’t know what disease Wang Daozhong had, but he roughly knew the reason for the unusual movement of the holy object.

The most likely possibility is the day when the Ao Chi formation is broken and the young blood ao is born.

The formation plate is built with the bones of the Blood Turtle. A divine object of this level has its own spirituality. It felt the pull of the bloodline, or it felt that it had a chance to repair itself, so it moved unusually.

Zhao Changhe had a clue in his mind, so he strode to the holy relic chamber and took out a bottle of blood.

The formation plate began to vibrate again, even more violently than that day.

Zhao Changhe tried to pour the blood on the crack of the array plate. A dazzling blood light appeared and the murderous aura rushed into the sky and lasted for a long time.

The cracks on the array disk began to heal visibly, and Xue Canghai was stunned.

How could this be possible? It was clearly a dead bone, how could it grow back after being broken

Is this still something of this world

Zhao Changhe watched the cracks in the formation plate heal and suddenly said, "Old Xue."

Xue Canghai was startled and subconsciously knelt on one knee: "Holy Son, please give me your orders."

"Pick a few thousand elite soldiers and follow me north to join the campaign against King Cui. Just leave a small number of people to defend Xiangyang. The focus of the storm will not be here for the time being."

"Yes." Xue Canghai did not dare to raise any objection. He expressed his opinion first and then carefully reminded him: "That is a battle for the Heavenly Ranking. Saint Son should be careful."

What it means is, don't be too crazy about getting married. Stay calm and assess your strength before thinking twice.

Before he could finish his words, the array plate healed completely with a "click".

Zhao Changhe stretched out his hand and wiped the several-foot array disk, which suddenly disappeared into the ring. "Although the inlay is missing and the full power cannot be exerted, at least the main body is complete, and the ability to exert the power of the Heavenly Ranking is still possible. If Wang Daoning thinks that we are not worth mentioning, then let him taste the shock from ancient times."

Xue Canghai's eyes widened.

Where is that huge formation just now

How come it disappeared in a radius of several feet

No, even if the formation plate is repaired, no one knows how to make the formation work. It is not written in the classics. How come you act like you already knew it

This can’t be the Holy Son, this must be the Blood God himself, right
