As soon as Li Hong and his entourage stepped into the second hall, they saw twenty black-clothed assassins waiting for them in the square in front of the main hall.

Monk Xuanzhen is a worthy virtuous monk, and he also used such a dignified and upright method to deal with Li Hong, which really impressed Li Hong.

In the past, all the enemies he encountered would use his familiarity with the Great Ci'en Temple to assassinate or set up an ambush, wanting to consume the combat power of Li Hong and his party as much as possible. Only Monk Xuanzhen still wants to compete with Li Hong in a dignified manner. If you put it on the battlefield, it will be pedantic, and if you put it on the morals, it will be noble.

Li Hong walked forward slowly, and when he walked only thirty steps away from Monk Xuanzhen and stopped, he took off the embroidered spring knife pillar on his waist and put it on the ground, looked at Monk Xuanzhen and asked, "Why, does the master want to be like Monk Xuanzhen and learn from him to rebel?" ”。

For the senior monks of Xuanzang's generation, even if Li Hong is not interested in Buddhism, he is very respectful.

Li Hong said with a smile, "I really don't know, and I ask the master to solve my doubts." ”

"Buddhism and Taoism can't coexist peacefully, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Taoist monarch, then, for my Buddhism, it is a disaster, and we naturally want to kill His Highness This threat is." Monk Xuanzhen seemed very calm when he spoke, and he didn't seem excited or nervous at all because he was going to kill Li Hong.

Li Hong smiled, laughed very happily, laughed very happily.

"Master, compared with the safety of the people in the world, is your Buddhism more important, or is it lonely and important?" Li Hongyi asked rhetorically.

"Buddhism's rescue of thousands of suffering people will last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can give the people of the Tang Dynasty a rich life, and may save the people from fire and water, and give the people a life of peace and contentment after dozens of generations?" Xuan Zhen said in a resolute tone, "Therefore, killing His Highness will only make the people suffer for a while, and the Buddha will let the people receive eternal blessings." ”

"The master's Dharma is still so profound, he can say a word to all the people for eternity, and he is ashamed." Li Hong sneered, "However, Lone's life, except for Lone's willingness to give, no one can ask for it." If the master wants to save all the people from all eternity, he will come and take it himself! ”

Li Hong knows very well that one of him and Liu Ju is the reincarnation of Daojun, and the other is the reincarnation of Buddha. There is only life and death between them, there is no coexistence and compromise. Therefore, he is also reluctant to follow Xuanzhen inkblot. The reason why I talked to Xuan Zhen so much was that I felt that Xuan Zhen could deal with himself openly and honestly, and he had the temperament of a high monk, which made him very respectful, and the other thing was that he wanted Xuan Zhen to finish what he wanted to say in the end.

Therefore, he knew that with all-powerful means, Xuan Zhen was still just a cannon fodder.

Using his uncle as cannon fodder, if Li Hong was placed in a position where he could do it, it is estimated that he would do the same, but Li Hong would not do it so obviously, he would at least give all the cannon fodder a chance to live, unlike all of them, which would only make everyone die, in order to achieve his own goals.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I have offended the old man!" Xuan Zhen clasped his hands together, and after speaking, he pounced on Li Hong, and at the same time ordered the black-clothed assassins around him, "Kill-"

Seeing that Xuan Zhen pounced on him, Li Hong took thirteen steps back in a row, and only then did he stabilize his figure, and at this time, Chen Gong jumped up, met Xuan Zhen and shouted, "Master, your opponent is the last general, let the last general teach you the martial arts of the Great Ci'en Temple!" ”

Xuan Zhen is no matter how senior he is, but he is still just a cannon fodder, and the Great Ci'en Temple can have the final say. Therefore, Li Hong is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Xuan Zhen is not qualified to challenge him, so Chen Gong can only deal with Xuan Zhen.

Only one person who is really qualified to challenge Li Hong is one person.

The king can only be against the king.

When Xuan Zhen was fighting with Chen Gong, the black-clothed assassins beside him also rushed forward and fought with the guards around Li Hong. This time, there were a total of twenty black-clothed assassins, and Chen Gong sent forty guards, leaving twenty to protect Li Hong's safety. The forty guards had the upper hand in terms of numerical superiority, so Li Hong was no longer worried that the guards would suffer heavy losses, and he did not rush to continue to advance, but moved his eyes to Chen Gong and Xuan Zhen who were fighting.

Chen Gong's fighting style belongs to the battlefield type, and all of them are killing skills that he has been through a hundred battles and has constantly honed. In addition, he has great strength, and he has a sharp weapon like an embroidered spring knife. Even for the monk Xuanzhen of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, it seems to be at ease.

As for Xuan Zhen, he is already sixty years old, and his strength has declined very much.

But he practiced Buddhism's internal qigong, and he had a profound Buddhist comprehension as the pillar of martial arts, and his attainments in martial arts were very deep and his eyes were very broad. It's just that after a short period of discomfort, I became familiar with Chen Gong's way of killing.

Therefore, when facing Chen Gong, Monk Xuanzhen also seemed very relaxed, and there was no feeling of difficulty.

Li Hong saw the two fighting like this, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Judging from the two groups of assassins he encountered, they all wanted to exhaust the combat power around him and kill himself in one fell swoop. There are still two large halls away from the inner hall, and it is estimated that many black-clothed assassins have already been ambushed in these two halls, and there may be masters like Xuan Zhen in charge. If Chen Gong had spent a little more energy in such a situation where the strength of the enemy and the enemy was not much different, the balance of victory would have to tilt to the all-capable side for their side.

Therefore, seeing that Chen Gong and Xuan Zhen were still tied for a long time, and it was still difficult to solve, Li Hong felt a little bad. Could it be that this is also an all-powerful arrangement, it is estimated that Chen Gong's physical strength and energy will be consumed here, and then he will slowly deal with himself?

"Kill-" Just as Li Hong was thinking like this, Chen Gong shouted loudly, and the offensive was even more awe-inspiring towards Xuan Zhen. Because he is not stupid, he is not stupid, he naturally saw the conspiracy tricks of all from Xuan Zhen's hands. Therefore, he is not willing to continue to spend time with Xuan Zhen now, even if he is injured, it doesn't matter, he must use the shortest time to kill Xuan Zhen.

Syllable!

Chen Gong slapped Xuan Zhen fiercely with one palm, the force was so great that Xuan Zhen, who was still two steps away from Chen Gong, could clearly feel the weight of this palm's killing power.

Xuan Zhen has no weapons, Chen Gong's long knife has forced away Xuan Zhen's right hand, and Xuan Zhen must use his left hand if he wants to take this palm. However, the strength of Xuan Zhen's left hand is far inferior to that of his right hand. This means that if Xuan Zhen takes this palm with his left hand, he will inevitably be injured. But at the critical moment, it was too late for him to dodge, so he could only raise his left hand and meet Chen Gong's left palm.

Click!

Hearing the crisp sound of a broken bone, Xuanzhen's face turned pale, and beads of sweat left on his forehead. His left hand was fractured and was cut off by Chen Gong's palm. The same Chen Gong was also uncomfortable, Xuan Zhen's anti-shock power was all dissolved by him to his body, and his chest was like being struck by lightning, and there was a huge pain. Burst! Suddenly, his body took three steps backwards before he steadied, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Obviously, he suffered a lot of internal injuries.

"Come again-" Chen Gong, who was born in the field, had never experienced any kind of fighting scene, this kind of small injury was nothing to him, just as he was standing firm, he rushed forward again, and the long knife stabbed at Monk Xuanzhen fiercely. Monk Xuanzhen's left arm was broken, and he could only breathe cold sweat from his forehead, instead of screaming loudly, which showed how strong his mind was, so he was not afraid of Chen Gong's rush at all, and raised his intact right hand again to meet Chen Gong's attack.

The desperate fight between the two made Li Hong's face even more gloomy.

He almost wanted to draw his sword and step forward to kill Xuan Zhen, but in the end he couldn't help but didn't do it.

In addition to the fact that Xuan Zhen showed enough Gao Sen's bearing before, and did not engage in sneak attacks and ambushes to make him feel very respectful of the other party, he also wanted to give Chen Gong a chance to go further against a strong enemy.

Those who practice martial arts can only progress as long as they fight with the strong, and they can only get weaker and weaker if they focus on the weak.

Therefore, like today, it is not easy for Chen Gong to meet a master like Xuan Zhen, which is good for his progress. So even if Li Hong sacrifices a little more people and wastes a little time, he feels that it is worth it.

Because at this moment, cultivating Chen Gong is the most important thing for him.

Smack-

The sound of the two palms touching each other when they fought again was heard, and at the same time, there was a sound of "poof" knives entering the flesh and bones, and a scream of monk Xuanzhen was heard, and a stream of blood gushed out from his right shoulder, and his right arm was cut off by Chen Gong.

Monk Xuanzhen took three steps back, and only then did he stand firm.

But at this time, his face was pale, and the sweat on his forehead was already gushing like a spring. Because his left and right sides were broken, and his right hand was cut off again, his hands were useless, and he had no combat power, and now it was a little difficult to even die.

"Master, offended!" Chen Gong put the knife into the sheath, saluted the monk Xuanzhen with a fist, and retreated to Li Hong's side.

"Let's go, let's continue!" Li Hong ordered, and let Chen Gong lead the remaining twenty guards to the third hall. At the same time, just after they left, Xuan Zhen was in great pain, so he sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha in the main hall and bit his tongue and committed suicide. At this time, the dead assassins, who had no backbone, suddenly decreased their combat effectiveness, and they were defeated by the guards. In addition, the guards in the first hall who had already been killed arrived, and the two sides joined forces to fight, and the twenty dead assassins in front of them were all killed.

As soon as Monk Xuanzhen died, he got the news, and when he found that his method did not work, and when Monk Xuanzhen did not consume too much of Chen Gong's physical strength, the expression of joy on his face just now became a little gloomy.

He didn't mind the life or death of his uncle, Monk Xuanzhen, and he was willing to continue to sacrifice them because there were still a few uncles.

It's just that his method failed, overestimating Xuan Zhen's combat effectiveness and underestimating Chen Gong's strength, which was a problem he didn't expect.

Therefore, his face was gloomy and terrible when he heard the report of his subordinates in the meditation room.

"Presiding, do you want to transfer the Nine Tribulations to the third hall?" The man in black suggested in a low voice, "Otherwise, when the guards in the first and second halls meet Li Hong, the form of the third hall will be worried!" ”

After thinking about it, he nodded slightly and said, "Let's do it, you go and give an order to the Nine Tribulations, and let him immediately go to the third hall to support, if he doesn't listen, you can say that this is Lao Wei's order, and he has to carry it out, and if he doesn't implement it, he has to carry it out." ”

"Yes." The man in black took the order and left the meditation room.

"Li Hong, I can kill you today!!" When the man in black left, he could grit his teeth and say.

He has no personal enmity with Li Hong, and because he is Xuanzang's apprentice, and he is also the host of the Great Ci'en Temple, the Tang royal family treats him very well, and gives a lot of rewards to the Daci'en Temple every year. But this does not mean that he will not let go of the grievances of Buddhism, because he is a disciple of Buddhism, and after the history of the Tang Dynasty is the ancestor of Taoism, they are incompatible.

In addition, Jun Neng thought that it would not be too difficult to kill Li Hong this time, because he had planned and calculated for a long time. Unexpectedly, his plan was resolved step by step by Li Hong, which made him resentful of Li Hong.

Therefore, whether it is public or private, the current can already hate Li Hong to the core.
