Chapter 64: The Circle of Force

"Oh?" Chen Hanyu raised his eyebrows, "I also want to discuss this topic with Brother Lan...... What does Brother Lan think about this?"

"I think this Sky Slayer Dragon is probably a secret hand sent by a certain force. Lan Yiting had a serious look on his face, "Judging from the information collected by the Six Gates, Tu Tianlong joined the Qinghai Evil Sect's Kuilongmen two years ago and became a closed disciple of Kuilongmen's master Zhai Zhi. In the next two years, he basically practiced martial arts behind closed doors, and no longer walked the rivers and lakes. Some time ago, I heard that Zhai Zhi was fighting with thirty-six masters of the righteous path at the top of the realm, and he was defeated and fled, and he is still missing. The master of the righteous path wanted to concentrate his strength and destroy the Kuilongmen in one go, but was slaughtered by a mysterious master in one night. Since this incident happened relatively secretly, the operation to encircle and suppress Kuilongmen was not organized by a famous and decent family. Therefore, there are not many people who know this news, and it is estimated that only the high-level leaders of the major forces know about it. ”

"That mysterious master is Tu Tianlong?" asked Chen Hanyu.

"I guess it's not ......" Lan Yiting shook his head, "Tu Tianlong's strength is mainly reflected in his strength, while the mysterious master is a long soldier, which is estimated to be a weapon such as a spear." ”

"In other words, there is another powerful force behind this Kuilongmen?" Chen Hanyu seemed to understand something.

"That's probably it. Lan Yiting nodded and said: "Let's talk about the performance of Tu Tianlong that day, at the beginning, the four of us fought against him, and the second round was a move made by you and I Jia Wei Fangfei. With our current strength, even some top-notch masters have to be afraid of three points. However, the Heavenly Dragon is in the same realm as us, but it can overwhelm us. ”

"And that's just his early strength. Chen Hanyu added.

"That's right. Lan Yiting frowned and nodded, "I also thought at that time that the strength of the Heavenly Dragon was at most equivalent to the top-notch existence in the top grade. It's like Dong Liuyun's strength. He said and took a sip of tea, "Tu Tianlong's performance at that time was just as I expected, and he fought to a draw with Dong Liuyun. However, in the fourth round of their battle, I noticed that the Dragon Slayer was starting to change a little. ”

At that time, Dong Liuyun began to improve his skills, and he seemed to want to fight hard. Chen Hanyu recalled.

"Tu Tianlong also began to improve his skills at that time. Lan Yiting said, "It's just that he is relatively slow to improve his skills, and if I hadn't secretly paid attention to him at that time, I would almost have been unable to detect it." ”

Chen Hanyu saw that Lan Yiting was talking so seriously, and believed that he did feel some changes in Tu Tianlong at that time. At that time, he had just discovered a place that was very suitable for arranging a stealth array, and while he was excited, he naturally ignored the battle situation here, and he failed to discover the improvement of the Heavenly Dragon.

However, the most critical problem was that although the speed of Tu Tianlong's cultivation was slow, the true qi aura that spread out around his body was quietly changing. Lan Yiting said again.

"Does that mean that Tu Tianlong has changed another kind of exercise?" Chen Hanyu seemed to understand.

Lan Yiting nodded: "It was this kind of true qi that made his strength skyrocket several times, so that he finally reached a level comparable to the peerless realm." ”

"It should be in the form of some kind of forbidden law. Chen Hanyu thought for a while, and then added, "It's like Tu Tianlong's behavior has obviously become a little crazy after killing Pang Rentong, and he doesn't even know that Le Xingchen and the others slipped away from him." ”

"That's right," Lan Yiting agreed, "The side effects of this forbidden method are obviously not small, even if Tu Tianlong doesn't die in the hands of Master Li in the end, there is a great possibility that he will go mad and die." ”

"Alas~" Chen Hanyu shook his head and sighed, "Yes, if you are not forced to a dead end, who is willing to cast the forbidden law?"

After saying this, both of them were silent for a while, each sucking the tea in the cup, and then adding a new cup of tea.

"In addition to the Heavenly Dragon Slayer, there is another person who is also very mysterious. Chen Hanyu suddenly said again.

"Huh?" Lan Yiting thought for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, "You mean Li Yanhui is in charge?"

Chen Hanyu's face was serious, and he nodded slowly but heavily: "Exactly!"

Seeing that Lan Yiting was waiting for his next step, Chen Hanyu hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Brother Lan, you might as well talk about it first, what is strange about Master Li's actions this time." ”

"This ......," Lan Yiting thought for a moment, "Although I also felt that there was something strange about Master Li this time, it was just an indescribable feeling. ”

"I can't tell, I can't tell the truth, this just reflects the scheming of a person who is very deep in the city. Chen Hanyu said, and then added, "Of course, this time Master Li came to save my life, and I dare not forget the life-saving kindness." But there are many things that I think we still have to dig deeper. ”

"It's okay, Brother Chen, please talk about ......it," Lan Yiting understood Chen Hanyu's thoughts, and smiled to show his supportive attitude.

"Let's talk about the strength of Master Li first," Chen Hanyu gradually analyzed, "Because the formation isolates the sound and obstructs the line of sight, we can't see the specific situation at that time." But one thing is certain, that is, Li Yanhui killed Tu Tianlong in two moves, and Tu Tianlong had killed Pang Rentong in one move before this. ”

Lan Yiting nodded and said, "Things happened too quickly at that time, but the victory and defeat of these two battles were divided too quickly, and the difference in strength between them was also huge. ”

"Yes, that's the crux of the matter. Chen Hanyu's expression was serious, and he inadvertently stretched out a finger and gestured in the air, as if he was a detective, "Pang Rentong is in the ranks of quasi-peerless masters, and he is the existence of a superior master. If you want to kill him in seconds, it is difficult to do it without the strength of the peerless realm. ”

When Chen Hanyu said this, Lan Yiting's pupils shrank suddenly, "Yes, Tu Tianlong killed Pang Rentong in seconds, and Li Yanhui killed Tu Tianlong in seconds, doesn't this show that Li Yanhui has the strength of peerless middle grade!"

"But the news on the rivers and lakes is that the strength of Li Yanhui, the head of the Huashan Wild Thunder Sect, is peerless, and it is similar to the strength of the other four heads of the Five Spirit Immortal Sect. Chen Hanyu said, "This is completely inconsistent with the strength shown by Master Li today." ”

"Makes sense......" Lan Yiting nodded, "Your words remind me of another thing. Last year, Li Yanhui once teamed up with the South Gate Capture Shengnie to deal with Lu Shiqi, the leader of the thief gang, and fought dozens of moves without winning or losing, and then due to the addition of Wei Yongping, the head of the Hengshan Yanhuo faction, Lu Shiqi was defeated and fled. Immediately afterwards, Pang Rentong made a sneak attack on Lu Shiqi, but was only forced to take two steps back by Lu Shiqi with one palm and was not injured. From this point of view, the strength of this Heaven Slaying Dragon after the ban on the law should be above Lu Shiqi, and the same should be above the head of Li. ”

"So it's like a circle of force. Chen Hanyu concluded, "Although you and I are not clear about some of the specific circumstances of the battle at that time, this can at least show that Li Yanhui's strength should be peerless, otherwise with Huang Yinyue's intolerable character, she would have been excluded from the Five Spirits Immortal Alliance a long time ago." ”

"Huang Yinyue is estimated to be still buried in the drum. Lan Yiting nodded and said, "In this way, Li Yanhui has indeed hidden a lot of strength. But that doesn't mean she's a scheming person?"

"Saying that she is scheming, naturally refers not only to the aspect of hidden strength. Chen Hanyu shook his head, "Just like this incident, I vaguely feel that many of the things that happened in this were in her plan." ”

"Oh?" Lan Yiting frowned, "What did you find?"

"Can't you see that?" Chen Hanyu said, "the most obvious one: Li Yanhui killed Tu Tianlong and burned his body, but left behind his mutilated weapon, the Thunderbolt Hammer. ”

"This is her negligence! The broken hammer should have been taken away at that time, so that the corpse could be destroyed. Lan Yiting said.

"I thought she was negligent. Chen Hanyu nodded, "But when she smiled and asked Master Miao what to do with the broken hammer, I didn't think so anymore." ”

"What do you mean......" Lan Yiting frowned, "She deliberately left the hammer, what purpose did she have?"

"If I'm not mistaken, her purpose in doing this is to separate Ouyang Wei and Huang Yinyue. The corners of Chen Hanyu's eyes showed a hint of cunning.

"Huh, how do you say that?" Lan Yiting looked incredulous.

"What do you think, Li Yanhui killed Tu Tianlong, and deliberately left a handle after the 'deliberate' destruction of the corpse. This led to the fact that Ouyang Wei, who came later, discovered that Tu Tianlong had been killed by an extremely powerful unknown master. And because the other party has the scheming to destroy the corpse, it is obvious that he is a very terrible character. Therefore, with Ouyang Wei's temperament, he was greedy for treasures, but he didn't dare to leak the news, for fear of attracting the revenge of the mysterious master. Surely he will not tell this speculation to others, including Huang Yinyue, who regards him as a minion. Chen Hanyu said.

Lan Yiting listened to Chen Hanyu's analysis, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and wondered: "But how does Li Yanhui know that after we left, it was Ouyang Wei who came to the battle site first, not Huang Yinyue, or the two of them?"

"Brother Lan may not know that when he was still fighting in the six doors of the water, the other party successively appeared masters of the four realms of the top grade, the quasi-peerless, the peerless inferior and the peerless middle grade. Chen Hanyu explained, "At that time, with the addition of our six gates, the major forces formed alliances with each other according to their own interests and chose opponents for each other, and at this time, the strength of the two sides would be roughly equal. Then, in the process of melee, as long as there is a slight change, it may cause some masters to break out of the battle circle, and they can be the first to get the opportunity to fight for the Golden Lock Soft Sword. ”

"I understand that. Lan Yiting nodded, "And the weaker the masters, the more they are like Dong Liuyun, who is the top grade this time." Because there are more people and more variables, they are often not noticed by stronger masters. So they have a good chance of breaking through the circle. is like Dong Liuyun, he should be the first to break away from the battle circle, and then rush to the suburbs outside the city to find a sword, so that there will be a scene where he is the only one fighting against Tu Tianlong. ”

Dong Liuyun was injured at the time, and it is estimated that he will not be able to attract the attention of those stronger masters. That's why I looked for an opportunity to take the first step. Chen Hanyu continued to analyze, "When Dong Liuyun and Tu Tianlong were defeated in a few moves, Zuo Liangxun and the other top-grade masters were late, and then they were Le Xingchen and other quasi-peerless masters. If you speculate according to this situation, then the next one to appear should be the peerless low-grade master, and the peerless middle-grade master will appear a little later. ”

Then, Master Miao and Master Ouyang came to find out what was going on and found Tu Tianlong's broken hammer, thus deducing that Tu Tianlong had died. After that, Master Miao took the Broken Hammer, so the two protectors of Lord Ou, Lord Huang and the Divine Sect couldn't judge what had happened to the battle situation after Le Xingchen and them left. And because of the flaws left by the Thunderbolt Gilt Hammer, only Miao Binglian and Ouyang Wei knew that Master Miao was a saint of the six gates, and he would never pass on this secret. This means that the answer to the question of who the Golden Lock Soft Sword fell into is only known to Ouyang Wei. ”

And all this is exactly where the plan of the head of Li lies. Chen Hanyu finally came to a conclusion, "Huang Yinyue will inevitably ask Ouyang Wei about the whereabouts of the Golden Lock Soft Sword, with Huang Yinyue's wisdom, Ouyang Wei will definitely hide it from her." And Ouyang Wei had to hide it, which caused a gap between the two, which played a role in dividing them. ”

"But that's just speculation, after all. Lan Yiting shook his head, he felt that this statement was quite unreliable.

It's like a gamble, where you draw analogies about the possible outcomes based on the events that preceded you. Although there is some truth in this approach, it is not very certain, and as a master like Li Yanhui, he generally does not use this method that he is not sure of.

"What Brother Lan said is that there is no way to be completely sure, and it is estimated that Li Yanhui will not try his luck. Chen Hanyu nodded, and then his expression was serious, "So what I suspect most now is that Li Yanhui is secretly manipulating the overall situation." ”

Hearing Chen Hanyu say this, Lan Yiting's face changed slightly: "You mean, this whole thing was secretly manipulated by her? But what evidence do you have?"

"The evidence is not ......," Chen Hanyu shook his head, "This is just a guess of mine, a feeling." ”

Lan Yiting didn't speak, although he didn't agree with Chen Hanyu's point of view in his heart, he didn't dare to say that Chen Hanyu was thinking too much. After all, when they reach this stage, masters generally don't judge a thing based on subjective thoughts alone. Rather, it is speculated based on its own accumulated experience in the rivers and lakes. This speculation may not be accurate, but it is often possible to detect the hidden truth behind something in advance, even if they can't tell the reason at the time.

"But there's one thing that, when I think about it now, feels a little weird...... Maybe it's one of the evidences in my opinion!" Chen Hanyu said suddenly.

"Let's hear it!" Lan Yiting was very curious.

"Do you remember the formation I laid out in the forest?" Chen Hanyu rotated the porcelain cup in front of him casually with one of his fingers, "At that time, when I was looking for a suitable venue for arranging the formation, I found that there was a section of land less than ten miles behind us that was very suitable for arranging the formation. The terrain, grass and trees, and some relatively large rocks are combined there, which is very suitable as the base of the stealth array. ”

Seeing Lan Yiting looking at him puzzled, Chen Hanyu continued, "I didn't suspect anything at that time, seeing that Dong Liuyun and Tu Tianlong were fighting, I secretly went over there to arrange the formation. But when I went over there, I found that the terrain there was very suitable for quickly arranging a very powerful stealth array that could hide from peerless masters, but this stealth array had a huge flaw, that is, it would block out the sound and obstruct the view of the protected. ”

Thinking about it now, Li Yanhui is estimated to have been there a long time ago. Chen Hanyu sighed, "That formation, I think she also did some tricks." Otherwise, how could such an ingenious natural formation appear in the barren mountains and mountains, and it just right to hinder our senses, so that we can't clearly judge what is going on outside?"

Lan Yiting was silent, he didn't have much say in the formation. Although he also knew the formation, after all, it was Chen Hanyu who arranged the formation at that time. Besides, his attainments in the formation are not as good as the other party, and he can't raise any doubts.

However, Lan Yiting's heart was not as calm as it looked from the outside. If Li Yanhui is really as Chen Hanyu said, he hides so deeply. Then he should also rethink and think, what is the purpose of Li Yanhui giving up the golden lock soft sword to himself for six doors.
