Chapter 44: Proof of Strength
Zhang Fan seemed to sense something, and did not immediately walk out of the attic, but waited for about a stick of incense, and waited until the gathered Zhenwu Sect people in the open space outside had already set up a formation, and then gradually walked out.
Around the attic, almost more than three-quarters of the entire Zhenwu Sect were gathered, and with Zhang Fan's current mental power, it was roughly seen that there were a total of four first-grade masters in the inner door and one third-grade master in the inner door, no need to ask, it should be Shao Linfeng and even the position of the four elders in the door. The person who was abolished martial arts back then can now have the cultivation of the three grades of the inner door, which still surprised Zhang Fan a little. The rest of the deacons at the peak of the outer gate nine grades, such as Chen Zhijie and Chen Zhiyuan, have a total of 30 people. There are nearly 200 high-level disciples of the inner gate above the seventh rank and the outer gate, and most of the nearly 2,000 people gathered here have the strength of the inner gate above the fifth grade. In terms of the overall actual strength, it is estimated that about half of the strength of the entire Xia Kingdom martial arts can be said to be the proportion of the strength and status of the first-class faction according to the general martial arts novel martial arts pattern. However, in the martial arts of the Xia Kingdom, the "big factions" in the real sense are basically only the True Martial Arts Sect and the Yunshan Sect, and the rest are just peripheral quasi-peripheral martial arts families like the previous Zhang family. Of course, the dominant force is still the imperial court.
But even so, such a battle is much weaker than twenty years ago. may not even be able to cope with Zhang Ruzhen, who was at the peak of the inner door at the peak of his previous life. Obviously: in the past twenty years, the entire True Martial Sect may not have recovered from the changes of that year.
Of course, Zhang Fan smiled disapprovingly: "First of all, I used the world's best strange poison to play conspiracy, and then I still didn't feel at ease, and the vast majority of the forces gathered in the entire True Martial Arts Sect were put in a position here like a great enemy, Shao Linfeng, you should be very sure that the first master and I came in person, right?"
At this time, Shao Linfeng was actually a little difficult to ride a tiger, originally thought that the poison provided by the Lintian Emperor Palace was just as the messenger said, within the scope of the West Sea Continent, there was no one who could not be dealt with, even the ghost possessed by the human body, and the ancient master of the peak realm of the Nine Grades of the Inner Gate was the same, but he didn't expect that for some reason, the target was not hit, or he didn't know how much weakening the poison bringed, which was troublesome. Zhang Ruzhen, even if Shao Linfeng knew a little bit about his strength twenty years ago, I am afraid that there will really be a showdown, even if the Zhenwu Sect now has a lot of drugs or secret weapons provided by the Lintian Emperor's Palace, it is not without the possibility of further damage to his vitality or exposing himself to too much danger.
As for denying the facts, what if Zhang Ruzhen had directly proposed some reliable verification methods as he did with Chen Zhijie, Chen Zhiyuan, and others? Many of these people were still old disciples of the past.
Therefore, Shao Linfeng did not plan to slap the face of the popular slap among the mortals in the rivers and lakes at this time to upgrade the villain of the novel routine, but planned to admit the identity of the comer, and said in a tone that seemed to be very frank: "Master, all this we have done is arranged by the imperial court. If the ancestor still thinks of the love of incense, please don't involve more than 2,000 people from the Zhenwu Sect. The ancestor may not have dealt with the Lintian Emperor's Palace deep enough before, and he may just think that he was careless, and he doesn't know what kind of realm the strength of the Lintian God Emperor has reached... ”
The other elders and deacons seemed to have discussed beforehand, and many of them chimed in: "Yes, Master, don't embarrass us. If you are an enemy of the Imperial Palace, then... ”
Zhang Fan was silent at this time, just silently noted down some of the people who did not speak at this time, and also roughly recorded the various looks and reactions of the more than 2,000 people present with the spiritual power of the twenty-fourth order at this time.
Subsequently, Zhang Fan didn't intend to talk nonsense: "So, what kind of strength do you think I have to show to believe that I am qualified to lead you to unprecedented glory, or at least to resist the threat of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace?"
Hearing this, Shao Linfeng was still a little worried, worried that those middle and lower-level disciples who had not seen too much of the world might change their hearts because of the real top masters showing a few hands, so he said: "The Lintian Emperor's Palace has dominated the Xia Kingdom for thousands of years, and its strength is probably not under the combined efforts of the entire Xia Kingdom and even the army, and there are many unguardable secret calculation methods. If the Ancestor dared to take the Xia Kingdom's Superb Poison Yin Yang San, which he had asked for from the Lintian Emperor's Palace, and resist the combined siege of the five elders, more than 30 deacons, and even 200 personal disciples in the sect when the poison of the half-pillar incense was at its worst. We believe that the First Master is no longer the former First Master, and has the strength to lead us against the Imperial Palace. Need to know: The strength of my True Martial Sect is about half of the strength of the Xia Kingdom's martial arts at most, far inferior to the Xia Kingdom's official army and even the Yunshan Sect, being able to defeat us lightly does not mean that it has the strength to confront the Lintian Emperor's Palace and avoid any accidents in the future... ”
Such conditions make many people feel that Shao Linfeng seems to be a bit excessive, who will accept the conditions like an idiot?
Zhang Fan didn't agree immediately, but said solemnly: "Let's take a look first, if I'm sure, I'll accept it... ”
What Zhang Fan didn't expect was that at this time, there was a person who stood up in public, it was Li Ru, one of the more potential spies arranged by Zhang Ruzhen in the door, and the young man of that year is now middle-aged. At this time, Li Ru ignored the strange eyes of the other deacons around him, and said sincerely: "Don't agree, the first teacher, that yin and yang powder is not only poison, even if it can resist toxicity... ”
Zhang Fan didn't care, stopped him from speaking, just when some people around him wanted to "clean up the portal" on his behalf, Zhang Fan used precise internal force to manipulate it like a spell, and instantly let Li Ru fly to his side: he has his own sense of proportion for his teacher.
In fact, Zhang Fan also wanted to know to what extent the poisonous Gu and other methods in the Heavenly Emperor's Palace had reached, and whether he could handle it now.
At this time, another fourteen-year-old girl handyman walked up with a wine gourd that was not too big, and it was about a pound of capacity. I didn't know that even the faint breath through the seal had already poisoned myself, and it was not far from the attack.
Zhang Fan first used his internal force to remove the residual poison of the girl in the process of serving Yin Yang San, and then felt the warning in his heart with his heart, and did not feel anything unusual in the process of holding the wine gourd in his hand. There are probably two possibilities for this: one is that the powerful means of the Heavenly Emperor Palace exceed the level of danger that the twenty-fourth-order spiritual power can feel, and nine times out of ten, there is a chance that the ancestor of the Yuan Infant level on the Boundless Continent is here, if that is the case, he will not be able to escape. Second, with their own means, there should be a way to deal with and defuse it.
Therefore, after just a moment of weighing, Zhang Fan did not hesitate any longer, and accurately controlled the internal qi with his spiritual power, and wrapped the medicinal liquid in the gourd in the air and sent it into his mouth, all the way to his stomach.
