Chapter Seventy-Seven: Grace and Righteousness
It took Zhao Leng to finally return to the Tiger Monkey Valley in three days, although he is now confident to face the Shadow Mantis head-on, but he only said that he has the strength to protect himself in the face of the Shadow Mantis, and the chance of winning is less than half, so he will not be arrogant to look for the bad luck of the Shadow Mantis, let him face two Shadow Mantis at once, I am afraid that it will be even more embarrassing than the last time.

The first thing Zhao Lengfei did when he returned to the Tiger Monkey Valley was to find the mark left by Mu Xizi, the direction in which Mu Xizi fled was arranged by him, and the two had also agreed in advance, so as long as the mark left by Mu Xizi could be found, Zhao Lengfei would be sure to catch up with each other.
On that day, the two shadow mantis in the tiger monkey's lair chased him and Gongsun Qiu respectively, Zhao Lengfei deliberately brought the shadow mantis chasing him to the opposite direction of Mu Xizi, the shadow mantis appeared in the tiger monkey valley was just an accident, I believe that Mu Xizi as long as he is not too lucky, he will not encounter too powerful demon beasts.
Zhao Lengfei soon found the mark left by Mu Xizi, and immediately chased all the way along the mark left by Mu Xizi, it can be seen from the information left by Mu Xizi that she joined the other person in the team before escaping from the Tiger Monkey Valley, and it is much safer for the two to act together than alone, Mu Xizi did not explain who the other person was in the message, but Zhao Lengfei was still a little relieved.
After chasing for more than a day, the marks left by Mu Xizi became newer and newer, and Zhao Lengfei knew that he was getting closer and closer to Mu Xizi, so he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Zhao Lengfei walked to a big tree and suddenly stopped, there were several irregular scratches on the trunk of the tree, this was the code he had agreed with Mu Xizi, just a few scratches contained a lot of meaning, Zhao Lengfei was just about to take a closer look, but suddenly stomped on the ground and jumped out.
"Boom!" A white light flew out of Zhao Lengfei's body, hitting the trunk of the tree, the white light blew the trunk to pieces, and then flew towards the depths of the forest.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
"Senior Brother Zhao is really extraordinary, he was able to dodge the blow of my Shadowless Hammer, no wonder he was able to escape with his life under the pursuit of the third-order demon insect, Senior Brother admires."
Cao Yu walked out of the forest while clapping.
Zhao Lengfei's shirt was wiped by the white light, and a big hole was broken, revealing the thorn armor inside, he looked at the torn coat, his face was quite displeased, "Senior Brother Cao, what are you doing here?" If I couldn't dodge just now, I'm afraid I would have been killed by my senior brother. ”
"Senior Brother Zhao, don't misunderstand, Senior Brother, I saw that Senior Brother returned safely from the pursuit of the Shadow Mantis, so I couldn't help but want to try my junior brother's skills, I just mastered the strength, even if the junior brother can't dodge, he will never be injured." Cao Yu hurriedly explained.
"I knew that it was not a fluke for Senior Brother to defeat Senior Sister Lan that day, but Senior Brother, your ability to hide your strength is really first-class, even I have been deceived, if I don't try it myself, how can I know Senior Brother Zhao's true strength, it was just a joke, Senior Brother don't be angry, Senior Brother will compensate you."
"Senior brother, don't make such a joke next time, I was almost scared to death by you just now, why is Senior Brother here?" Zhao Lengfei smiled bitterly.
"I just came from the south, and I saw Senior Brother Zhao in front of the tree in a daze, I can't be distracted in the slightest in this mountain, so I want to try my junior brother's skills for a while, has my junior brother ever found traces of other junior brothers?" Cao Yu approached Zhao Lengfei in a few steps.
"I just saw a message left by Senior Sister Mu on the tree, but before I could finish reading it, I was interrupted by Senior Brother."
"Is there a message left by Senior Sister Mu on that tree? Oh my God, I blew that tree away, sorry, sorry. ”
"It's okay, anyway, I already know the direction of Senior Sister Mu's actions, why don't we catch up now?"
"Yes, okay." Cao Yu responded, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the thorn armor that Zhao Lengfei was exposed and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, this dress you are wearing inside is a protective magic weapon?" The grade shouldn't be low, right? ”
"How high the grade of the magic weapon bought by the Refining Hall is, don't make fun of me, senior brother." Zhao Lengfei tore off his torn coat, trying not to let Cao Yu see the spirit stone embedded in the thorn armor.
"Refiner Hall bought? That's strange, the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is exactly the same as a certain mortal-level protective magic weapon I saw at the auction that time, Senior Brother Zhao, can I touch it? Cao Yu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Senior brother, please feel free." Although Zhao Lengfei was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he could only agree.
Cao Yu touched the thorn armor exposed in the torn part of Zhao Lengfei's clothes, and said, "It's really different, junior brother, this feeling is much softer." ”
"I'll just say, this was purchased in the Refining Weapon Hall, how can I have so many spirit stones to purchase mortal-level protective magic weapons." Zhao Lengfei saw that Cao Yu didn't recognize the thorn armor, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Cao Yu helped Zhao Lengfei pat the dust on his body, and said, "I'm really sorry, I actually made Senior Brother Zhao's clothes look like this." ”
"My clothes are already in tatters, and if they are broken, they will be broken, so senior brother doesn't have to take it to heart." As soon as Zhao Lengfei finished speaking, his face changed suddenly, "Senior Brother Cao, what did you do?" ”
"Senior Brother Zhao, I'm sorry." Cao Yu took his hand away from Zhao Lengfei's body, and two golden talismans appeared on Zhao Lengfei's body.
"Talisman! Fixing talismans? Senior Brother Cao, what do you mean by this? ”
Zhao Lengfei served in the Fu Gong Pavilion, and he knew the two talismans that Cao Yu pasted on his body, the talisman can fix the person's body, and the fixing talisman can seal the dantian and meridians of the cultivator, these two talismans are sticking to the body, which is more effective than the acupoints.
"Senior Brother Zhao, I don't want to do this to you, it's just that the teacher's fate is difficult to disobey, and I have to do this." Cao Yu gently drew his saber and pressed it against Zhao Lengyan's chest.
"Is it difficult to disobey the teacher's order? Did Elder Wang really ask you to do it? He really thinks up to me, and I'm a little foundation building disciple who deserves such a design from him? Zhao Leng said without changing his color.
"It's not you, it's your father, to be exact, it's the things that your father brought out from the Guxiu Cave Mansion back then that are worthy of the family teacher's doing, Senior Brother Zhao, your father passed that thing on to you, where is it?" Cao Yu said.
"What my father brought from the Ancient Xiudong Mansion? I see, if I don't tell you, will you kill me? Zhao Lengfei didn't deny it, and asked rhetorically.
"Yes, the family teacher said that if you don't say it, I will kill you and bring back everything you have."
"If I tell you, you'll kill me, right?"
Cao Yu was stunned by Zhao Lengfei's question, he nodded and said, "Yes, but if the junior brother says it, he can suffer less flesh and skin, I don't want to use excessive means against the junior brother." ”
"It's death to say it or not, why should I tell you? Senior brother, do you think I, Zhao Lengfei, will be afraid of the flesh and skin suffering you said? Zhao Lengfei smiled, his calm appearance as if the saber on his chest did not exist.
"Although it is difficult to disobey the master's fate, but you and I have known each other, as long as the junior brother is willing to give me what your father got in the Guxiu Cave Mansion, it is not impossible for me to let the junior brother leave." Cao Yu saw that Zhao Lengfei didn't take his threat seriously at all, and suddenly put away his sword.
"Let me go? Aren't you afraid that Elder Wang will find out? Aren't you afraid that I will go back to the outer door to denounce Elder Wang? ”
"I'm afraid, so after this incident, the junior brother must find a way to leave the Sanyuan Mountain Range alone, and swear a heavy oath to live incognito for the rest of his life, and never return to Xuanshuimen in this life."
"Hahaha, Senior Brother is really thoughtful, it's okay to ask me to hand over that thing, but you have to answer me a few questions first." Zhao Lengfei didn't laugh angrily.
"What's the problem? Tell me about it. ”
"Why did you hire Yan Tu to attack me during the introductory assessment?"
"When did you know that I hired Yan Tu to attack you? But what did Han Qi tell you? ”
Cao Yu was shocked, if Zhao Lengfei had known about this, how could he be so unwary of himself, and even befriend him, could it be that all this was pretended by the other party?
Thinking of this, Cao Yu hurriedly checked the two talismans on Zhao Lengfei's body, and made sure that Zhao Lengfei was still under his control, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that I guessed correctly, I felt strange at the beginning of the trial, Senior Brother Han is the most kind to people, why did he deliberately alienate you, and he looked weird when he saw that you and I had a good relationship, so it seems that it is also Senior Brother you who spread rumors that are unfavorable to me at the outer gate."
Zhao Lengfei looked at Cao Yu, who was checking the talisman on his body, still motionless, the expression on his face did not change, but his heart was already burning with anger.
"Yes, I did both of these things, I did this to cause you some trouble, to probe your bottom line, to see if your father had passed on anything to you, but unfortunately these difficulties were easily resolved by you, so I had to look up to you, and I didn't even dare to attack you head-on.
During the assessment, I first looked for Han Qi, but he didn't agree, so I looked for Yan Tu again, Han Qi saw that I deliberately got close to you during the trial, and it was normal for Han Qi to be a little strange, but I didn't expect this to be seen by you, junior brother is really not simple. Cao Yu replied truthfully.
"When I went to Xuanyin City to meet you, you deliberately arranged it, you befriended me before to wait for this day? So, if you and I went to Heart Island together that day, I'm afraid you would have done it to me at that time, right? I'm really blind, I actually regard you as one of the closest people to me in the outer gate, and my brother's scheming is much more terrifying than that Gongsun Qiu. Zhao Lengfei stared at Cao Yu and said with a sad expression.
Zhao Lengfei really regarded Cao Yu as a friend before, even if he saw that Han Qi had a different attitude towards Cao Yu, he still didn't want to suspect the other party, but it backfired, Cao Yu was the first person to shoot at him, how could he not be heartbroken.
"It is indeed arranged to get acquainted with my junior brother, but the tutor just asked me to be good friends with you, and did not say that it would be unfavorable to the junior brother, I really think that the junior brother is a person who can be friends, so I did not make a false promise. Before the trial began, the teacher asked me to find a chance to start with the junior brother during the trial, I didn't agree, this matter was not my intention, but the teacher's fate was difficult to disobey, if the **** I went to the heart island together, I would indeed do it, the junior brother blamed me, I have nothing to say. ”
Cao Yu didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Lengfei, and said with a somewhat evasive gaze.
"The things that my father passed on to me are in the storage bag in my arms, you can take it yourself, you and I will be cut off from now on, whether we kill or stay afterwards, whatever you want, I don't hate you, and I won't receive any kindness from you." Zhao Lengfei said disdainfully.
Cao Yu put a hand into Zhao Lenghai's arms, wanting to take out the storage bag inside, his hand just touched the thorn armor on Zhao Lenghai's body, as if it had been pierced by ten thousand needles, Cao Yu roared in pain, and forcibly took his hand back from Zhao Lenghai's arms.
At this time, Zhao Lengfei, who was fixed by the double runes, suddenly exploded, picked up his fists and attacked Cao Yu, the incident happened suddenly, Cao Yu didn't have time to withdraw and retreat, so he could only choose to resist, but he couldn't use his strength with one hand, and he couldn't block Zhao Lengfei's attack with his other hand alone.
Cao Yu took several punches from Zhao Lengfei in a row, and Zhao Lengfei's last punch was the heaviest, knocking him out completely, but he wore an inner armor to protect himself and was not seriously injured by Zhao Lenghai, Cao Yu immediately retreated as soon as he got out of Zhao Lenghai's attack range.
"Sting!" Zhao Lengfei casually removed his shirt, revealing the thorny armor inside like the skin of a thorn armor beast, he was wearing a ground-level protective magic weapon, and the effect of the immobilization talisman and the figurative talisman would be greatly reduced, and he couldn't restrict his movements at all.
The back of Cao Yu's left hand was pierced by the spikes of the thorn armor, but he threw and grabbed the piece of cloth torn from Zhao Lengfei's chest, and saw that Zhao Leng's armor had a medium-grade spirit stone embedded in his chest, he couldn't help but shout: "Ground level protection magic weapon!" ”
"It's so dangerous, if it weren't for the thorn armor before with medium-grade spars, I'm afraid it would have been planted today." Zhao Lengfei said secretly in his heart.
"Senior Brother Cao's eyes are still as vicious as ever, since the two of us have cut off our robes and broken our righteousness, we must fight to the death." Zhao Lengfei looked at Cao Yu's left hand and said coldly.
Cao Yu knew that today's events could not end well, so he slowly drew his sword and said: "If the junior brother wants to take my life, just do it, I just want to see the true ability of the junior brother." ”
"Okay." Zhao Lengfei said, drew his sword and attacked.
Zhao Lengfei's skills have increased greatly, and the use of a saber can inspire a sword that is nearly three inches long, which is not much worse than Cao Yu, he relies on the thorn armor to protect his body, and his sword is biased, and he makes a risky move, making it all a sword move that kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, and wants to defeat Cao Yu in one fell swoop.
As soon as the two fought, the difference in swordsmanship was revealed, Cao Yu's swordsmanship level was far above Zhao Lenghail, the two fought only more than ten moves, Cao Yu stabbed Zhao Lengfei several times, but these attacks were blocked by the thorn armor, and Zhao Lengfei was still unscathed after several swords.
Seeing that his attack didn't work, Cao Yu immediately changed his strategy, he half-dodged and half-blocked Zhao Lengfei's attack, and no longer fought back even if he found the opponent's flaws.
Zhao Lengfei has a thorn armor to protect himself, compared to Cao Yu, who was injured in one hand, he can be said to have an advantage, but he used all his sword moves, and he only fought with Cao Yu, Zhao Lenghai's almost crazy attack was extremely consuming of true qi, but Cao Yu saved a lot of true qi with rich combat experience, and the swordsmanship level of the two was immediately judged.
"It's amazing, this guy's swordsmanship is much higher than mine." After dozens of moves, Zhao Lengfei couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, he knew that he couldn't win by swordsmanship, so he shook his two swords and quickly retreated.
It is difficult for a cultivator to really distinguish the winner by relying only on fist and foot kung fu and swordsmanship, of course Cao Yu understands this, he saw Zhao Lengfei withdraw from the battle circle, and he knew that Zhao Lengfei was ready to use the means of a cultivator.
