Chapter 244: Blood Debt and Blood Repayment

"Death!!"

With a wave of Huang San's right hand, the nine Grandmasters and the four Saint Realms flew out with a bang, and they all rushed towards the Four Elephants Palace.

Late will change!

The temple of the four elephants must be destroyed.

Countless people are paying attention to this place, and countless people are silent.

"The Four Elephant Palace, it's over. ”

Zhou Hong gave a faint evaluation.

Yuan Wenjing said with a strange expression: "I want to say something, but I don't know what to say." ”

Zhou Hong looked into the distance, shook his head and said: "The will is indeed useful, and it can even be said to be singable and crying, but this does not change anything." ”

Yuan Wen was silent.

Gantry.

Saint Realm Li Peng tightened his palm, and looked at Jinyang Island unwillingly, the bones on his palm were distinct: "They didn't do anything wrong. ”

". ”

Su Ri'an didn't look too much, he couldn't bear to watch the next scene that was almost slaughtered.

At this moment, not for Qin Tian, but for these flesh-and-blood people, I feel a trace of sadness.

Gong Jing, who is one with one sword and a broken arm.

The delicate body stands up to the sky and is warm and green.

Generously die to the four great masters!

Pan Dahai's shouting and so on!!

These are the backbone of Chinese martial arts people, stick to it.

The holy land of Jinyang Island, too much.

"Qin Tian, if you don't die, the moment you fight on Jinyang Island, I will go with you, these holy lands have been high for too long, and it is time to beat them to the dust. ”

Yang Yu, the dragon girl of Longmen, sighed, stopped talking, and there was a slight regret in her eyes.

It's a pity for these people

In some remote corners, there are some long sighs.

Once the Four Elephant Hall is destroyed, this means that groups that have risen with scattered cultivation like Qin Tian will fall into disarray again.

Vulnerable.

The so-called Tenth Holy Site is also a joke.

On the highway outside Sixiang Island, Xu Qinglong and Wu Laosan stood here, and the ordinary people in the distance had already been evacuated by a force, and it was impossible for ordinary people to be so aware of the situation here.

Jiang Xin stood on the side of the road, secretly weeping.

Tang Hao clenched his fists.

The Holy Land is still high and inviolable.

But the Four Elephants Hall would not be reconciled, so they fought back.

"Four Elephant Palace, follow me to meet the enemy!!"

Wen Qinglan stood in purple, and her tame appearance had already gradually revealed her grandeur.

Peerless!!

Elder Zhen was shocked and angry: "Wen Qinglan, what are you going to do?"

finally saved Wen Qinglan, is this woman going to die again?

Although understood, this choice is clearly extremely irrational.

Huang San rolled his eyebrows, laughed and said, "Old man Zhen, since they are going to die, why should you stop it?"

Zhen Lao's expression changed, and he hesitated whether to knock Wen Qinglan unconscious and take him away.

Wen Qinglan had already guessed some clues, and said coldly: "Elder Zhen, I won't leave, the teacher is not in the Four Elephant Palace, I am in charge here, if you force it, it will hinder my actions in the Four Elephant Palace." ”

"What Longmen did, I keep in mind the Four Elephant Palace, and the teacher will not embarrass you, but I must stay here. ”

After a pause, Wen Qinglan laughed miserably.

"Even if it is to die generously, I, Wen Qinglan, have no hesitation. ”

"Four Elephant Palace, fight with me!"

Pan Dahai roared: "Battle !!"

Feng Jiugun took a deep breath and laughed at the three scattered cultivators beside him: "Everyone, meet the enemy!!

"Four Elephant Palace, fight to the death!!"

"Fight to the death!"

Gong Jing turned his head and glanced at his arm, spit out a mouthful of blood, his body swayed, and his voice was hoarse.

"Fight to the Death!!

Liu Jian and Ye Shuangshuang also looked up to the sky and laughed, and flew out in an instant.

"If you want to destroy the Four Elephant Palace, ask me first, and I don't agree!"

"Fight to the death!!"

Nine great masters of the Four Elephant Palace, nine great qi refining realms.

took the lead in bombarding Jinyang Island.

Full of noble ideals and courage.

Elder Zhen became more and more silent.

"It's just a dying struggle!"

Huang San's eyes were indifferent, and when he opened his mouth, the nine Grandmasters, and the four Saint Realms, suddenly collided with the people of Sixiang Island.

Wen Qinglan and Gong Jing were both extremely seriously injured, and the spiritual power in their bodies had collapsed a lot, and now the two of them were entangled in the two Holy Realms together, and the danger was repeated.

Gong Jing, who had one arm left, was almost shot through the chest, even if he didn't die, the situation was extremely tragic now.

Covered in blood red, he has become a bloody man.

Wen Qinglan was even more so, her back was almost knocked out, and her shoulder blades were already exposed, and she was dripping with blood.

As for Pan Dahai, Ye Shuangshuang, Liu Jian, and Feng Jiugun, they were besieged by the two Great Saint Realms, including the Nine Great Grandmasters!!

If it weren't for the fact that Pan Dahai and the three of them had cultivated the exercises, they entered the realm extremely quickly, and their attack power was far superior to that of the same realm, I am afraid that someone would have fallen by now.

Feng Jiugun Qiu Yicheng is a four-person person, and he is a veteran scattered cultivation master, and he is extremely famous in the Chinese martial arts world.

After all, within one shot, Feng Wushu is not called in vain, and there is also the kendo master Qiu Yicheng, every time he shoots a sword, he will force back an opponent, and even tear through the opponent's defense and counterattack it.

Although the two grandmasters Bai Qingfeng and Fan Crossbow were a little weaker, they did not stop for a moment between their moves, and they were bloody.

Hurt others, hurt yourself.

Wound 800 enemies, stop loss 1,000.

This is still when the people of Jinyang Island are unwilling to fight to the death, so that they can get a little respite, but even if the grandmasters of the Four Elephant Hall go to death generously, the gap in numbers is still too big.

The nine great grandmasters, facing the four holy realms, the nine grandmasters, there is still a gap of three people, or is the other party having two more holy realms!!

And counting in the number of people, they also have two holy realms.

Especially the strongest Huang San, when he hasn't made a move yet.

There is not the slightest chance of winning.

Not to mention that Huang San hasn't made a move yet.

Huang San stood out of thin air, his eyes wandering around, and the smile in his eyes grew.

No matter how outstanding your Four Elephant Hall is, under the strangulation of Jinyang Island, it will still be wiped out.

What about Qin Tian?

I don't know if I live or die, even if I am still alive, what can I do?

"I can't stand it, I'm afraid, I'm going to have to go first. ”

Gong Jing had already been crumbling, and at this time, he spoke hoarsely to Wen Qinglan, who was fighting side by side.

Wen Qinglan's face changed abruptly, but the next moment, a large mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Don't. ”

Wen Qinglan's eyes were red, but she couldn't stop it, because she had been restrained by others.

Gong Jing laughed heartily, and his voice was poignant.

"I'm Gong Jing, creating a sword qi path, not a grandmaster, but comparable to a grandmaster!"

"I have abandoned myself and become ordinary. ”

"Comprehend the sword intent, I will enter the Grandmaster in one step!!"

"I, Gongjing, have never been willing to be ordinary, and I have no regrets in this battle. ”

The voice was deafening, like an endless array of sword intent bombarding everyone's minds.

I don't know how many people were shocked.

Gong Jing had previously cast two human sword combinations, and the power of spiritual strength and blood was greatly reduced.

But don't forget, Gong Jing himself still has spiritual power that has not been used.

Although the use of human sword integration consumes a lot of spiritual power, at this time, spiritual power is indeed his huge dependence!

Moreover.

He still has a trick that he hasn't made.

Before Gong Jing joined the Four Elephants Palace, Qin Tian passed on a technique to him!

Tianyan Nine Sword Technique.

According to the above information, it was a supreme sword venerable in the Southern Regions that created a sword technique that was belated.

That Sword Venerable, once killed in the Southern Regions, no one dared to be respected.

It was also from the Tianyan Nine Sword Technique that Gong Jing was able to refine his qi in the realm of mere realm, and he could break the method of integrating human and sword!

But.

This is something he has particularly comprehended, and the reason why the Tianyan Nine Swords Technique is called the Tianyan Nine Swords.

is because of this set of sword tricks, with a total of nine moves.

And Gong Jing, with amazing talent, has already comprehended the first sword!

Although it is impossible to reach the extreme power, it is for these Grandmaster Saint Realms on the earth at this moment.

The power is already enormous.

Gong Jing roared in the sky, narrating his life, and under this voice, his qi and blood, and spiritual power had withered to an extreme.

The spiritual power in the body was drained in an instant.

As for the sword intent, I don't know how he mobilized it, or if he deliberately kept a part of it!

At this time, in front of Gong Jing, an illusory sword suddenly appeared.

It's not just a spiritual composition.

Among them, there is also the substantial sword intent!!!

The sword intent cannot be seen with the naked eye, but Gong Jing has broken through this.

"Tianyan Nine Swords, the first style, destroying the mountain !!"

Gong Jing's voice gradually weakened, but the momentum was extremely majestic, and then the voice became louder, like the last cry of life.

"Thirty years of seeking the Tao!"

"I'm Gong Jing!"

"There is a sword !!"

At this moment, Gong Jing directly locked on a holy realm.

This Holy Realm, who had previously felt that the destruction of two seriously injured people was just a matter of effort.

However, now, he felt the kind of poignancy and struggle that Liu Qi had before he died.

The whole person seemed to be in the water, suffocating, and the terrifying lock made him subconsciously afraid.

"Three Elders, save my !!"

The man roared with all his might, his voice filled with fear.

Huang San's face changed wildly.

Damn it!!

He was negligent, thinking that Wen Qinglan and Gong Jing had been injured like that, and they were just waiting for death.

But the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen!

His face froze, and he just wanted to make a move.

Rumble!!

The destruction of the Tianyan Nine Swords Mountain, like a breeze blowing across the earth, there was not much movement, and the sword light flashed by, sweeping over the holy realm.

It even passed through him, passing another Grandmaster master.

Finally annihilated in the void.

The situation didn't seem to have changed at all, and when the Saint Realm powerhouse saw that he was fine, he instantly became ecstatic, and laughed: "You didn't kill me, you're finished, you're finished."

Without speaking, the tone of this Jinyang Island Saint Realm suddenly froze.

There was a deep look of wonder on his face.

The feeling of pain instantly permeates the whole body.

Then, the body fell from the top of his head, directly turned into two petals, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the red and white things splashed.

Life is gone.

Martial Saint, die!

After him, the Grandmaster who was swept by the sword light also stiffened for a moment, looking at the Martial Saint who was split in two in front of him.

He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his head, but he was shocked to find that his hand and right hand were missing, and he subconsciously lowered his head.

From the right hand to the left waist, cut it together.

Still, split in two!

"Ahh

"Ahhh

The Grandmaster's voice only screamed for a moment, and then the fire of life was quickly extinguished, and the vitality collapsed.

Grandmaster, die!!

"I'm Gongjing, I have a sword, destroy the mountain!!"

Gong Jing looked at his sword from afar and suddenly smiled.

Suddenly the light in his eyes flickered and flickered.

Vitality is gradually fading.

In their ears, they vaguely heard Wen Qinglan's vague shouts.

The body fell to the ground, and Gong Jing didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

No one moved the scene anymore, and everyone watched the scene quietly.

Slash the Martial Saint Kill Grandmaster with one sword!

The unseen, the unheard!

Even if Qin Tian recovered before and killed everyone in the Four Elephant Palace, it was not as magnificent as Gong Jing at this time.

But Gongjing, the Four Elephant Palace, did it.

In the ears of countless people, what Gong Jing said before still sounded.

"Thirty years of seeking the Tao!"

"I'm Gong Jing!"

"There is a sword !!"

Since then, no one in Huaguo has dared to call the grandmaster above the way of the sword.

"Gong Jing!!"

"Gong Jing. ”

"Gongjing !!"

Everyone in the Four Elephant Palace, blood and tears have flowed in their eyes, Gong Jing is dead or not, they don't know, but in the spiritual power perception, the fire of life seems to have been extinguished.

Under perception, it was already a corpse, and no one had a chance to investigate Gong Jing's corpse, and Wen Qinglan's tears had already dried up.

Blood, too, no longer flows.

"Gong Jing is dead. ”

Wen Qinglan muttered.

Pan Dahai was like a madman, and he yelled while desperately attacking the grandmaster who was besieging him.

He Gong Jing has an average relationship, but he admires this talented grandmaster very much.

Without him, both of them are casual cultivators, about the same age, and they both rely on their own abilities to get to where they are today!

But the Gongjing road is even more legendary.

"Why are you dead, Lao Tzu still has to see the day when your sword is honored, our Four Elephant Hall will rise, how can it be complete without you,

We don't want to die in the Four Elephant Palace. ”

Pan Dahai, the fat man who only came to the Four Elephants Hall to mix some resources to practice, take advantage of some advantages, and dared to fight with Martial Saint Dong Qi, had already burst into tears.

Liu Jian and Ye Shuangshuang both roared angrily, their eyes red.

Dead?

Probably dead.

A sword path Tianjiao, Jinyang Island, you are ruthless with this!!

Feng Jiugun was even more silent, and the spear continued to burst out with power.

Gong Jing had known them for a long time, and when this young man created his own sword qi path and sharpened a sword for several years, they knew that this young man was amazing!

Even if Gong Jing was not a grandmaster at that time.

But in the circle of grandmasters, he is already quite famous, and even enjoys the treatment of grandmasters in the martial arts world!

But now.

He's dead!

"Kill, kill, kill, kill these shuffles!!"

"Fight to the death!!"

"I want all of you to be buried with you!!"

The people of the Four Elephant Palace, squeezing their last bit of potential, also try to kill the enemy.

"Trash!!"

"Bastard!!Waste!!"

Huang San stood in the void, trembling with anger, and there was a touch of horror that was imperceptible to others!

It was enough to kill one Liu Qi before, but if one was not careful, he actually died another Saint Realm and Grandmaster.

"Can't wait, kill them!"

Huang San's eyes were burning with anger, he originally thought it was a crushing situation, but accidents occurred frequently, even if he won this time and returned to Jinyang Island, he would definitely be reprimanded.

Huang San did not continue to hesitate, his eyes were indifferent, murderous, and took a step.

appeared in front of Liu Jian in an instant, snorted coldly, slapped out a palm, and the majestic spiritual power was thrown heavily on Liu Jian's body.

Click!!

Liu Jian didn't know how many ribs were broken, and he didn't know how many mouthfuls of blood he vomited.

Lost in battle.

Huang San didn't kill anyone, turned his head and threw another punch.

The suppression of the realm caused Ye Shuangshuang to be swept to the ground without any counterattack power.

One leg was almost pierced, the bones were almost shattered, and a hole appeared in the abdomen, and the internal organs could be vaguely seen.

The combat power is also abolished.

"I won't kill you, I want you to see with your own eyes, how the people of the Four Elephants Hall were destroyed by me!!"

Huang San's eyes are indifferent, and the strength of the peak of the Holy Realm is unmatched!

Even, he has already glimpsed a trace of the road to the knot.

A strong man at the same level as Zhen Lao.

"You old dogs, you dare to meddle in the affairs of our Jinyang Island, look for death!!"

Even if Fan Crossbow was vigilant, he was still under Huang San's rage, and he pierced his head, and life and death disappeared!

"One more was killed. ”

Everyone's eyes were torn.

Bai Qingfeng survived, but his spiritual power was scattered, and his dantian was almost penetrated, and the result was that he broke a leg.

Huang San is like a reaper in the field, everywhere he goes, he will set off a bloody storm!!

"Just you, dare to call the kendo master? Seeing that Gong Jing is not strong, the result is death!"

Huang San laughed cruelly, broke Qiu Yicheng's sword directly, and was even abolished Gongjing Dantian.

caused it to fall to the ground like a dead dog.

Life is better than death.

Dealing with the loose cultivation of foreign interference, Huang San is simply ruthless.

"Qingfeng, Lao Qiu, Fan Crossbow"

Feng Jiugun was so sad and indignant that he brought his old friend over, and he was really generous to death.

This old grandmaster laughed miserably.

Huang San joined the battle, and the scene was almost one-sided.

The entire Four Elephants Hall was filled with blood and tears, and the war was raging.

Sad and magnificent!

"It's miserable. ”

Martial Saint Li Peng looked at this scene from afar, and his words were extremely silent.

"The Four Elephant Palace, it's over. ”

Dragon General Su Ri'an said bitterly.

Yang Yu was even more silent.

Wen Qinglan was numb, but she still hated it.

Pan Dahai roared until his throat was hoarse, but he was powerless to do anything more.

However, Jinyang Island is not without its own deaths, in addition to the one Saint Realm and one Grandmaster killed by Gong Jing, two Grandmasters were also killed in battle.

plus Liu Qi, who Wen Qinglan cut off before.

That is, a total of five strong people died on Jinyang Island.

Three Grandmasters, One Sacred Realm.

It's still very tragic.

I'm afraid Huang San himself didn't expect this kind of result.

It is precisely because of this that Huang San is so angry.

He also wanted to shoot at Feng Jiu, but Wen Qinglan flashed in and choked up.

"Enough is enough!!"

Huang San's expression was indifferent.

"Enough is enough, don't you know that my goal is to kill all of you in the Four Elephant Palace?"

Wen Qinglan's body faltered.

and Pan Dahai is trying his best to resist, but his body is already full of holes, I don't know how many wounds there are, if he is not treated in time, I am afraid that he will die.

As for the other people who had lost their combat power, they were all surrounded by the Grandmaster Holy Realm of Jinyang Island at this time, as if they were guarding a pig.

Even the faces of these guards were filled with a deep look of surprise.

"The sea, stop!"

Wen Qinglan pursed her lips and drank Pan Dahai.

Pan Dahai laughed miserably, approached in an instant, and did not continue to say more, but looked at Huang San with hatred, eager to pull out his bones and drink his blood.

Huang San looked at Pan Dahai and said murderously: "This kind of loss really surprised me, not to mention that we had no room for negotiation before, and now you don't even have the ability to resist, why should you tell me about the conditions?"

"You don't have to do it, let's do it ourselves. ”

Wen Qinglan pulled Pan Dahai and landed on the side of Feng Jiugun and a few people, looking at Gong Jing's completely extinguished fire of life and extinguishment, the dead Fan crossbow, and the few people who were abolished.

Biting his lip.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, and I don't know why I've come to this point. ”

"But there's really nothing I can do anymore, that's all I can do. ”

"I thought that I would always have a little chance of winning, but I still overestimated myself and the foundation of our Four Elephant Palace. ”

"For the sake of the last dignity, I can only ask that we ourselves"

"Suicide!"

Feng Jiugun had already exhausted his strength, he didn't know how many wounds he had on his body, and he looked silent when he looked at his own death and his injured old friend.

"Girl, don't think about it, since we chose to come, we haven't thought about regretting it, blame you and the like. ”

"It's just a pity that your teacher didn't come back after all. ”

Wen Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and became even more silent.

Pan Dahai opened his mouth in blood.

"Even if the hall master is not here, haven't we killed so many of them?"

"It's a pity that Gong Jing's kid is dead. ”

Huang San frowned and looked at such a group of people, and there was always a bad premonition in his heart, and he said in a deep voice.

"Is that done, then go and die, or I'll do it myself, and I'll leave you with one last decent way to die. ”

"That's because as warriors, what you have done is worthy of my respect. ”

"But as a holy place, dignity cannot be provoked, this is what Qin Tian did before, and now he needs to pay the price,

Originally, if you broke away from the Four Elephant Palace, with our Jinyang Island's temper, we would not pay attention to you, after all, Qin Tian had already ambushed you in the Ancient Land.

But if you stick to this place and don't leave, then you deserve to die!"

"Die!"

"Die!!"

Huang San emphasized several times.

The guards Feng Jiugun and several of them in the Jinyang Island Sacred Realm, as well as several Grandmasters, also looked at this group of people with resentment.

I wish they were dead.

They can be slain to the heart.

After all, the higher the realm, the more you cherish your life.

Pan Dahai laughed loudly.

"Do we still have to thank you? But since you made us kill ourselves, hahahahaha, so what if we kill ourselves?

It's hateful, if it weren't for them, I, Pan Dahai, would definitely fight you to the death,

Fight with the sky, fight with the earth, fight with people, and have endless fun!!"

"But I, Pan Dahai, haven't lived enough. ”

"Haha, everyone, Grandmaster Fan has left, Gong Jing has left, I, Pan Dahai, will explore the way for you first, everyone, !! later"

After Pan Dahai finished speaking, he raised his palm, and tears were already streaming down his face.

said it was suicide, but after all, they were forced to this step!

Disgrace!

Disgrace!!!

"I really haven't lived enough."

This timid and big-mouthed fat man died generously!

As he spoke, he slapped his palm on his forehead.

However, at this time, Pan Dahai paused his palm, and his tearful face suddenly raised and looked at the end of the sky suspiciously.

Not only him, but Wen Qinglan, Feng Jiugun, and others also raised their heads.

Even from afar, you can feel that an earth-shattering breath comes from afar!

That breath.

Familiar.

Very familiar!

Very familiar!!

"It's so strong!"

"Angry too!"

Longmen Zhen raised his head suddenly, and his eyes were full of jealousy.

Even at this time, he has already had a first glimpse of the path of the Jiedan Realm!

Zhou Hong, the Holy Son of the Temple, also opened his eyes wide, looked at the end of the sky in disbelief, and lost his voice.

"Qin Tian !!"

"Qin Tian!"

"Qin Tian didn't even die!"

"This guy is finally back. ”

Countless whispering voices, I don't know where they came from, and then turned into one after another exclamations.

Countless people showed expressions of disbelief.

Huang San is face was ugly and said to the extreme, even if he hadn't felt Qin Tian's breath, but that earth-shattering aura also made him understand that the person who came was not good!

"Kill, kill, you must kill all these people first!!"

"If it's late, it will change!!"

Huang San roared angrily, and immediately exerted his spiritual power, wanting to kill Wen Qinglan and them!

"Humph!"

Since Qin Tian was here, Elder Zhen naturally didn't mind giving more help, and in a flash, he came to Wen Qinglan's side and looked at Huang San coldly.

"Zhen Laogou, you are nosy!!"

Huang San never thought that Zhen Lao was going to make a move at this time, he was blushing and eager to kill everyone.

However, he had understood that the tide was over.

"Gather all of them for me, I don't believe this one person, what can he do with us!!"

Huang San's eyebrows were indifferent, and immediately behind him, the three major holy realms and the six great grandmasters converged.

Fifteen people came, but now there are only ten people left, and the losses are heavy!

They didn't hide their momentum, but they also showed all their momentum, as if they were provoking Qin Tian!

That's right, provocation!

A real provocation!

Behold, I have almost destroyed thee temple of the four elephants.

Even if you're not dead, so what?

Outside the Four Elephants Palace, Jiang Xin didn't see anything, but in the dark, there seemed to be a feeling that made her subconsciously raise her head and look into the distance!

"Qin Tian!"

Xu Qinglong, Wu Laosan and Tang Hao, subconsciously raised their heads and asked one after another.

"What Qin Tian, is he here?"

However, they also felt strange, it should not be like this, after all, Jiang Xin has no strength.

"He's coming, he's coming, I feel it. ”

Jiang Xin closed his eyes, and then opened them suddenly, looking at the place.

On the horizon, a black dot, from far and near!

That earth-shattering momentum, like a big sun, blazing and amazing!

"Teacher !!"

Wen Qinglan burst into tears, and she could still insist on standing up and reasoning with Huang San before.

But now, she only felt that her whole body had lost any strength.

"The !!! of the hall master"

The fat sea roared as hard as he could, wanting to vent all the grievances, anger, resentment, and hatred in his heart.

"Qin Sheng!"

"Qin Sheng. ”

Feng Jiugun's face was full of bitterness, his friend, one person died, and the remaining two were almost abolished.

Qin Tian, why didn't he come earlier, although he understood that when Qin Tian got the news, he must have already tried his best to come.

But, I'm still unwilling.

"Teacher !!"

"Teacher. ”

Liu Jian and Ye Shuangshuang glanced at each other and cried bitterly.

This battle was too difficult, if it weren't for Huang San's wrong decision, their group would have all died.

Fortunately.

See the light at the end of the tunnel!

That earth-shattering breath, but in the blink of an eye, it came in an instant!

As long as anyone can feel this breath, they can feel this person's almost monstrous breath, and even endless anger.

The figure is from far to near, and in a moment, when countless people look up, they can see a figure dressed in white, with hair in a mess!

Along with it, there was an earth-shattering roar.

It's like squeezing out from between your teeth.

"Blood Debt and Blood Payment!!!!"
