480 Leeway
Luo Tian and Du Xiyao talked all the way, and gradually walked out of the realm of Time City, and after they left, they soon found that someone was waiting for them in front, and judging from the breath, they were friends or foes.
"It seems that you don't have many friends, but you have a lot of enemies. ”
Du Xiyao glanced at Luo Tian at this time, and said, in fact, in terms of strength alone, Luo Tian may not be Du Xiyao's opponent, but strength will not be an obstacle for him to become a master and apprentice.
Luo Tian smiled faintly at this time, he knew very well what his enemies were, and which side of the forces that were most likely to appear at this time, at this time Luo Tian stopped, Du Xiyao saw this, and undoubtedly raised a little vigilance in his heart, if it was just a small fish and shrimp, it should not make Luo Tian so cautious.
Although Du Xiyao could sense that the enemy in front of him was very strong, he would not know the subtle changes, but for Luo Tian, at the beginning of the birth of a plan, when he embarked on this road, he could almost predict what obstacles he would encounter on this journey, and among all the obstacles, who was the person who least wanted him to achieve his goal.
"This is the third test for you. ”
At the same time as Luo Tian said these words with a smile, the aura in front of him suddenly increased, obviously approaching them at a speed of thousands of miles, and before Du Xiyao could react and scold, he had already seen a familiar face.
For Du Xiyao, a woman who has lived in the boudoir all the year round, she feels that the familiar face will not leave the Du family's sphere of influence, or that the Du family will not leave the sphere of influence controlled by this person, so the identity of the person who came to the fore also stood out.
"Listening to Jiang Xiangli say, he was once defeated by you, I am really curious, what kind of ability do you have to reach the sky, or do you have three heads and six arms, and you actually have such strength. ”
Xia Zidan's appearance made the atmosphere on the scene gradually become anxious at a speed visible to the naked eye, but Luo Tian did not answer when he heard this, but took a step back, and this step made Du Xiyao and Xia Zidan in a head-to-head confrontation.
Seeing this, Xia Zidan's eyes gradually converged on Du Xiyao's body, of course he also knew this girl, but that was a long time ago, Tianhua City is not far from Tianming City, and it is indeed within the Xia family's sphere of influence from the perspective of the geographical boundary, but the Xia family in Tianming City is different from the City of Years and the City of Lamentation, the biggest difference is that the Xia family is not a sect or some kind of Taoist alliance, but a family.
On the surface, the Xia family does not belong to the sect, the alliance and other power institutions, and does not have jurisdiction and domination over the forces to which they belong, from a formal point of view, the Xia family is the same as the Qu family of the Gate of Creation, belongs to an internal form, can only have a binding effect on the people within the family industry, but once they leave the family, their actual status is the same as anyone else.
But obviously, the Xia family is not as simple as it seems, after all, they have the background of the great achievement of investigating the truth of the Heavenly Catastrophe case a hundred years ago, so they are given a kind of secret, internal hidden power, and this power is that they can recruit people who are capable and valued by the Xia family to become members of their family.
Therefore, jurisdiction and dominance still exist, and even the necessary assessment process for becoming a core member of the family is more complicated than joining a sect or alliance, and in the past, even Ouyang Xiao did not have such qualifications, at best, he was just Xia Zidan's follower or playmate.
Among all the known clues of Luo Tian, he also has a corresponding program or plan for the Xia family, once he will go against the Xia family one day in the future, then this set of plans and plans can be taken out and used, but unfortunately, for now, Luo Tian does not have a good plan for the Xia family, after all, today's Xia Zidan is not directly aimed at him Luo Tian, and what he wants to do is also not directly to destroy Luo Tian's plan.
The purpose of his arrival is very subtle, or it is an indirect relationship with Luo Tian, yes, he is here to fight for Jiang Xiangli.
Therefore, Luo Tian did not intend to clash head-on with Xia Zidan, at least not at this time, and he was at least ninety percent sure, Xia Zidan's trip was not specifically to kill him, his intention and purpose not only had a meaning given by Jiang Xiangli, but also some of his own thoughts, and these meanings and thoughts gathered together, which also exposed his psychological motivation that he would not easily wade into troubled waters.
Especially after his son was "abducted" by Wan Ji'an.
Luo Tian created a dream that could perfectly "resurrect" Lu Heng and Tang Long, because his fear heart could store all the people and things he had experienced completely and clearly in his consciousness, even if any detail could not escape Luo Tian's grasp, it was precisely such a huge detail that could outline the gods and souls of Lu Heng and Tang Long, so that they could be perfectly presented in the carrier of dreams, so that anyone who entered Luo Tian's dream would not feel that they were just created puppets, not real people.
It is also because of this meticulous detail that this dream is different from Wei Beiran's dream, which can make Luo Tian very clear about what happened in the dream he created, until the broken mirror was shattered by Wan Ji'an.
Luo Tian was clear about Xia Yu's abduction by Wan Ji'an, but he didn't think much about it, Wan Ji'an had Wan Ji'an's purpose and secret, Guan Liang also had Guan Liang's persistence and persistence, and even Lu Heng and Tang Long, who were created by him and existed in the dream, were gone?
"If you really look at it for three days, your strength has improved by leaps and bounds, but it really amazes me. ”
Looking at Du Xiyao in front of him, feeling the ripples on his opponent's body due to the resonance of the Dao heart, Xia Zidan didn't dare to be careless, he knew very well that once the Dao Interpreter had the Dao Heart, the gap in strength between them would almost disappear, but because of the further comprehension of the Dao and the relationship between personal experience, this gap would be further expanded.
Du Xiyao in front of her looks like she is only in her early twenties, and she may not even be in her twenties, so it seems unlikely that she will have much experience on the surface, but the rules of power that Xia Zidan has can only give him insight into the heavenly opportunities of the next day or so, but there is no way for him to anticipate a person's past without making a plan, so when he faces this little girl who was still held in her arms in the past more than ten years later, he will not know anything more than others.
But one day, Xia Zidan was clear, that is, the biggest trouble in this battle did not come from the little girl in front of her, but Luo Tian behind her.
Luo Tian seems to have withdrawn from the battlefield, but in fact, he will not really be a gentleman who is silent watching chess, on the contrary, Luo Tian is definitely not a gentleman, or any words about gentlemen and villains are difficult to summarize him, this is an opponent that even Xia Zidan thinks is difficult, so he will find such an excuse today, instead of asking for guilt with a gloomy face because his "good friend" was humiliated.
Yes, today's Xia Zidan is just here to test his thoughts, he has never thought of breaking off the old grudges here, even if he really has such a mind, but if he is not 100% sure, he will not bring himself a troublesome opponent.
What's more, in the incident of the Dong family in Longxiang City, and even in the incident of the breeding of demonic energy, Luo Tian was also not an enemy of the Xia family, this is where Luo Tian is smart, and it is also the premise that Xia Zidan can have such a temptation and discussion with Luo Tian today.
At this time, Du Xiyao was ready, whether this battle was Luo Tian's prevarication, or whether it was really the third test given to her by Luo Tian, Du Xiyao had no way to escape, but the battle had not started for a long time, and it seemed that the two people in the venue needed Luo Tian to give a signal to start a war.
"Let's get started. ”
Suddenly, Luo Tian really gave the order, as Luo Tian's voice fell, Du Xiyao immediately made a move, facing Xia Zidan, one of the seven city lords of the Middle Heaven Realm in front of her, she didn't dare to be careless, any temptation was a joke with her own life, after all, she didn't know Xia Zidan's intentions, and she also didn't know how Xia Zidan viewed the victory or defeat or life and death of this battle, so making a move was her strongest move.
When Xia Zidan felt the unusual fluctuations of the Qing Subtle Method, he guessed the little girl's mind in his heart, and the original tentative mind was immediately put down, and he didn't dare to take it lightly at this time, because he didn't know how to clear the subtle method.
If you can't understand something, no matter how you think about it, it is difficult to come up with a reason, and even relying on experience to judge will lead to specious differences, then how to put it into action based on thinking?
Especially for a person like Xia Zidan, if he needs to rely on guessing and experience to judge the opponent's behavior and habits before launching an offensive, then he will never choose any environment that is unfavorable to him, and this is the case in front of him, because Luo Tian, who has been pressing the formation and has not made a move, is always a hidden danger.
The conclusion is that Xia Zidan's rules of potential have failed, and he has temporarily lost his ability to predict the future.
Returning to the battle link that completely relied on strength and experience, Xia Zidan was also unable to use all his strength to deal with Du Xiyao, a little girl, and the magical technique of facing the Qing Subtle Method did make him a little afraid to act rashly and wanted to get a glimpse, so this battle lasted for a long time.
And for Du Xiyao, her mind is completely different from Xia Zidan, the first time she saw a top master like Xia Zidan, Du Xiyao didn't dare to take it lightly, she could only take out all her strength to compete with her opponent, even so she still fought tremblingly, but when she fought for a while, she found that the opponent didn't seem to be able to help herself at all, and she regarded this stalemate battle as a test of her own liberation results, so the more she fought, the more courageous she became, and the more she was in the middle and late stages.
The battle on the scene has always been watched by Luo Tian, he is clear about the inner thoughts of the two, and even he has calculated the final result, this kind of psychological game fascinates him more than the competition of strength.
The two have already passed more than a thousand moves with each other, by this time, Du Xiyao has completely let go of her hands and feet, this level of battle is something she has never had in the past, the subtle method of clarity is indeed magical, and the possession and fusion of the Dao heart is indeed wonderful and extraordinary, but the performance of the two in actual combat is not like the battle she simulated through the ethereal state of mind, when the battle is to the end, Du Xiyao can even create one or two simple tactics suitable for her own in the battle through her own association.
"That's it!"
With Luo Tian's soft drink, Du Xiyao heard the voice, and immediately jumped away and returned to Luo Tian's side, and at the same time, Xia Zidan on the opposite side also stopped his hand, but after stopping, he felt a little curious, and he didn't know why he had to listen to this person's order to stop.
"Good play, even if you pass this time. ”
Luo Tian first gave Du Xiyao a commendation, to be honest, if Luo Tian was allowed to play, I am afraid that he would not have played so excitingly, the duel between him and Xia Zidan was either divided from the beginning or never won or lost, for two people who are also full of intrigue and are also good at intrigues, the battle is never a competition of strength and strength.
After commending Du Xiyao, Luo Tian looked at Xia Zidan on the opposite side again, and at this time, Luo Tian's attitude became a little more solemn, and then he hugged his fists and said.
"Thank you to the city lord for taking the time to give my apprentice some advice, this love should be returned by Luo Tian in the future. ”
Luo Tian's words made Du Xiyao stunned, and when she was about to say something, she saw Xia Zidan on the other side nodding slightly, and then said.
"Well said, but I did come here today for a certain matter, do you know where my child is now?"
Xia Zidan, who originally came to ask the guilt of the teacher, completely changed her face at this time, but looked like a person who asked for directions without any scheming, such a change could not help but make Du Xiyao secretly surprised, but after she understood a little something, the curiosity in her heart slowly faded, after all, she was just used to being ethereal, not really ignorant of human feelings.
Luo Tian and Xia Zidan are both sophisticated people, in the Middle Heaven Realm, few people can do anything with them, to do left and right, like a fish in water, it is not strength that depends on strength, but scheming, if you rely solely on strength, then in addition to continuous victory, the warrior will not find a second room to turn around, because for the warrior, only by constantly winning, can the truth stand on his side.
So, what if one day the warrior loses the opponent?
