Chapter Twenty-Eight: Return, Harvest
In the middle of the arena, there was a flame burning!
Terrifying tenacity, tenacious fighting spirit, when the blood in the body of the dragon-blooded dwarf dark god burned to the limit, even the green scale fast dragon whose strength far surpassed it could not retreat under its Jedi counterattack.
The diffuse gravitational field and the burning high-temperature flames were entangled with each other, forming a strange fire like a substance, and the state was lifted to the peak realm, and the stronger and stronger Dark God made the last blow of the hammer, and at the same time, its entire body crashed into the green scale fast dragon like a cannonball.
The next moment, the dragon shook its head, dodging the hammer and sending the entire Dark God flying.
However, the hammer wrapped in gravity and flames struck the left wing joint of the blue-scaled dragon, causing the terrifying beast to roar and land into the field, unable to maintain its flight superiority.
The body of the dark god was so tattered that it fell to the ground, and even one of its arms was knocked off, and everyone in the entire venue was shocked by this terrifying fighting spirit, only the tyrant frowned slightly, and he vaguely felt that something was not harmonious.
And Zhu Peng calmly withdrew the Demon Dark God...... For the parasitic heart, the physical body is just an armored shell, somewhat similar to a human controlling mecha to fight, so it can really fight until its potential is exhausted and its ammunition is exhausted.
Looking at the blue-scaled fast dragon in the arena that was slightly wheezing, and quickly assessed the upper limit of its base strength in his heart, Zhu Peng gritted his teeth, he took out another nineteenth rune "Rage" hidden in his sleeve, and then pressed it into the demon spirit ball of the purgatory demon dog Arthurs together with the seventeenth rune "Wild Strike" that was caught in his finger before.
According to the previous theory of "Rune Language", the attributes of these two rune stones are not particularly compatible with Arthurs, and their inlay at this time can certainly greatly enhance the power of the demon dog, but at the same time, it is also likely to cut off Arthurs's future potential, so that it can no longer synthesize truly powerful rune words and be promoted to the demigod level.
But Zhu Peng is bound to win the battle in front of him, the meaning of the ghost man has been very clear, and he is not allowed to drive the Earth Fire Witch Tower battleship to crush the "Fire Venerable" Agni Er, if he does not follow his will, the consequences are unpredictable.
In this case, Zhu Peng must dig out enough income in this mental image world to bridge the gap in combat power between himself and the martial arts demigods, and under this premise, the future of the Purgatory Demon Dog Arthurs is ranked relatively low in the plan.
Zhu Peng would rather let Arthurs lose his potential to be promoted to a demigod, but also ensure that he has the greatest benefit in a short period of time.
(If I die in battle, you don't have a future...... Arthurs, take your fury out on your opponents. Throwing the magic spirit ball, the demon dog that had already been inlaid with four rune stones roared wildly in the light and roared, and a terrifying coercive momentum spread.
Even the powerful blue-scaled fast dragon was a little frightened by this, just like an ordinary person encountering a violent ghost mastiff with red eyes, he naturally had a feeling of courage collapse and weak limbs, even if the strength of human beings was far superior to that of a fierce dog.
At the moment when he opened the Demon Spirit Ball, Arthurs had already begun to charge with the orange-red purgatory fire, and even the flames dragged behind it swept into a roaring form, which was really fierce and terrifying.
"The fast dragon, the wall protection, the recovery, the lift-off, and the opponent distance, its momentum cannot be maintained for a long time. Feeling the arrogant coercion on the opponent's demon, Zhu Peng's subordinates on the mechanical command platform on the opposite side quickly issued multiple orders, which was the most rational decision-making choice for those who had experienced a hundred battles.
The blue scale-covered wings of the ancient dragon shrouded in front of him, and he closed his eyes and caused a circle of iron-like blue energy fields to spread, and in the next moment, Arthurs slammed into it.
In the flame charge, the body of this demon dog became larger and larger, and finally turned from a giant dog into a werewolf-like upright form, its muscles swelled and knotted, and condensed armor and axe in the flames spreading around it, which is the power to break through the limitations of the mental world to some extent, and begin to release all its own power.
When Arthurs attacked the "wall" of the dark blue energy domain field, a large area of active energy particles around it quickly converged under the effect of the "recovery" skill of the green scale fast dragon, merged into the body of the fast dragon, and restored its physical strength, spirit and injuries at the cost of magic consumption.
"Purgatory comes, rage, slams and devastates souls...... Thinking that the wall can stop you is his biggest decision-making mistake. As Zhu Peng's order was given, the strong axe-wielding demon dog in the arena roared to the sky, and there were raging fires around it that rose up like torches.
The advent of purgatory made Arthurs's body swell, his body became larger sharply, his four-dimensional attributes jumped, and the Fury Rune Stone almost doubled the effect of his ultimate, and the next slam was originally similar to the effect of a concentrated blow, but it was applied to Arthurs's body, and under the superimposed effect of the Rage Rune Stone and the mad strike, it became a skill effect similar to a high-frequency strike.
The audience in the surrounding venue saw that the axe-wielding jackal's body in the arena below suddenly expanded, and then it held the axe in both hands and slashed like a storm and wind.
This caused it to stand like a stump to be slashed by the heavy axe of the Infernal Demon Dog Arthurs, and when the skill that did not last long ended, the Green Scale Swift Dragon was already covered in blood and suffered far heavier injuries than before, because Arthurs's furious attack was far more lethal and destructive than the attack of the Dark God!
But fortunately, it finally managed to repair its wings and soar up, and wanted to distance itself from the opponent who had obviously turned on the ultimate state, and first fly the opponent's kite, at least after the end of "Purgatory Fall", and then decide whether to fight hand-to-hand.
In the state of Arthurs's ultimate, the Green Scale Swift Dragon will continue to take burn damage with no low lethal effect, even if it is just by its side.
However, as the green scale fast dragon fluttered its wings and soared, the obviously fleshy demon dog also expanded a pair of fire wings behind the demon, and it swung a big axe to firmly stick to the green scale fast dragon, and even used high-frequency strikes to make the opponent unable to even play its own speed advantage, unable to get rid of the opponent.
Entangled and fighting, the roar of dragons and the roar of angry dogs were endless.
The cyan scales continued to fall from the sky along with the flames, Zhu Peng and Ba Xia looked up at the fighting demons, and kept giving orders, and after a while, the powerful blue scale fast dragon grabbed Arthur's shoulders with his claws, and regardless of the other party's slash on his body, he slammed it into the ground after flying around at high speed. There was a bang, and a large cloud of dust scattered and splattered.
Arthurs shrunk in the pit, purgatory and fury forcibly ascended, and the axe-wielding gnolls were weary to death.
However, the blue-scaled dragon that threw down the opponent did not seem very comfortable, after throwing Arthurs, the blue-scaled dragon fell like a wrecked fighter plane and crashed to the ground, and the blood and water of the broken scales around it were like rain, barely supporting the huge body, but it was almost difficult to stand up...... The attack power of the infernal demon dog Arthur is definitely not weak, especially the two rune stone bonuses, and now Arthurs is also a powerful combat power in the legendary rank in the real world, and the means may be a little lacking, but the offensive and defensive attributes are outstanding.
The battle has reached the point of incandescent at this moment, and the audience is already boiling, but Zhu Peng and Ba Xia on the mechanical command platform are very indifferent, they have already passed the stage where they need to give their summoning demons to cheer up, because they all know very well that as long as their demons can still persevere, they will devote their last strength to the battle.
Indeed, both Arthurs, who was exhausted from the outside in, and the bruised and bruised Scaly Dragon, both struggled to their feet in their almost extreme state, and then launched their final onslaught against their opponents.
The Green Scale Dragon shook its head and spewed out a mouthful of frost, while Arthurs smashed on the opponent's head with a big axe, both sides were attacking each other against each other's attacks, but the difference was that the Green Scale Dragon gradually decreased its attack power as its own state declined, while Arthurs's "Soul Draining Strike" It was more of a passive skill, what was the effect of its soul drain at the beginning, and what was the effect at this moment, so the green scale dragon was knocked unconscious by its last axe, Arthur took two steps back in the impact of the frost, and then it stood up straight...... Accept the glory of the victors.
That night, the entire venue of Qinglong City was completely boiling.
The audience present witnessed the history, witnessed the undefeated lord, the first defeat in his life, the glory only went to the winner, with the roar of Arthurs in the arena, even the tyrant who was almost the master of Qinglong City had to walk off the command platform with a wry smile and end alone.
The red-haired witch Catherine in the VIP area of the stands shouted hoarsely, she cheered and shared the glory of victory, but the next moment the girl's eyes rolled, and then she quickly ran to the official casino of the conference venue, and at the same time retrieved her "Mountain Storm Bear" magic spirit ball, she also took back more than a dozen magic spirit balls containing powerful demons and a large amount of cash.
Because the "Dragon Envoy" has almost never been defeated, so when he faces a young challenger who is not well known, the winning rate is ridiculously high, and Katrin has put all her net worth on Zhu Peng's victory because of her momentary anger, and now she has made a lot of money, just this wave is enough for her to accumulate the wealth of the legendary great wizard.
And the people of Qinglong City did not feel much discomfort because the outsiders defeated the strongest of the local people, now that this demon world has fallen into the end of the world, the stronger the human summoner, the better, like the overlord of the Dragon Alliance Qinglong City, who has maintained an undefeated record for many years, this is of course his personal glory, but for the entire human camp, it is not a good thing.
In the following days, Zhu Peng and Katrin resided in the Dragon Alliance as upstarts, and with Zhu Peng's entry and joining, the high-level combat power of Blue Dragon City was a veritable skyrocketing increase, so many high-level demons entrenched around them suffered as a result.
Originally, they were not afraid of the dragon envoy's dominance, although the overlord could also protect the humans of Qinglong City under their coercion, but the two sides were still in a state of strategic balance.
But with the appearance of Zhu Peng, this strategic balance of power was suddenly broken, and before these high-level envoys with low intelligence reacted, the overlord had already invited Zhu Peng to join forces to eliminate several envoys near Qinglong City: the Eight-clawed Snow Emperor Zhanghuang, the Mountain Tree Man, and the Night Shadow Demon Crow...... As one high-level powerful demon after another fell, the power radiation of the human camp was greatly expanded.
Of course, Zhu Peng and Katrin also gained a lot in this process, especially Zhu Peng, in many battles with powerful demons of the almost demigod level, not only the mutated green clay finally evolved, but even Zhu Peng himself vaguely gained some kind of comprehension.
........................
In the world of clouds, in a hidden cave and grotto, suddenly a large number of bats flew out.
Because in the depths of the cave grotto, there is a huge black cocoon slowly cracking, and a strong and slender arm suddenly pierces out of it, and the five fingers are weakly grasped.
"Ahhh......hhh Whew!"
With both hands, he pushed away the black cocoons around him, and a strong man with no strands of his body crawled out, he touched the top of his smooth head, and sighed softly: "I have become stronger, but bald again, I hope this time there will be no more names of the sea of clouds and the sea of baldness." ”
Slowly walking out, the void summoned earth and fire elemental particles to form a silk-like robe on his body, and stayed in the master's mental world for nearly ten years, Zhu Peng was not just cultivating demons, whether it was his own spiritual power cultivation or Danfa exploration, he did not stop for a moment.
After Zhu Peng completely broke away from the black cocoon, the black cocoon quickly spread into large swaths of black-red particles as if burning, and the bald man stretched forward with one hand to catch the five cards that fell in mid-air, these are not the original cards, but Zhu Peng's harvest after digging deep into the world of ghost-shaped human minds:
Two strategy cards: Flame Fusion and Time Card.
A Flame Fusion Card can be blessed, either in advance or during a battle, to increase its Fire Resistance, and to temporarily fuse the power of another Demon Card after absorbing enough Fire Damage. Note: The higher the phase of the fusion card, the higher the power of the fused demon will be compared with the same period last year.
Card of Time: Specify the opponent and a demon, in the process of damaging the opponent, draw its time to transform into a demon, and finally cross time in a short period of time, summon the adult form of the juvenile demon into the battlefield, the stronger the potential of the juvenile demon, the more time it needs to be stolen, if you steal time on a legendary unit to transform the demigod demon, it often can't be successful.
A Battle Card: Reflects the Magic Cylinder, which takes a long spell time, but once completed, perfectly reflects any attack of the opponent. Note: Its performance priority cannot be compared to Extraordinary Privileges.
A tactical card: Ice and water powerful demons, eight-clawed snow chapter emperor juveniles.
One quest card: Clue to the Fifty-Two Ancestral Rune Stone.
These five cards are all Zhu Peng's gains in the Mental Imagery World for ten years under the God Eater system, of course, for the refilling of his two hole cards, this is something that the ghost people can't detect.
The hole card of the God Eater is almost the biggest secret of every mature God Eater, it may not be strong, it may be weak, but it is often a unique ability of the God Eater, and even the core of his entire cultivation system.
Because, in a sense, the hole cards represent the greatest trait of the individual God Eater.
Just like a label, once it is discovered by others, it is no longer an analysis of one's own ability, but a kind of "seeing" of the God Eater.
Zhu Peng's "victory oath paper" hole card represents a certain obsession with winning the battle, and his devotion to life and death for the battle to press his own life, which was formed.
The "trajectory of fate" lies in the attitude of the pure yang immortal heart to always actively face fate, and even the Taoist system's struggle against its own fate: if you follow the way, you will become a person, and you will become an immortal against the sky, and you will measure your fate with palm prints, and your fate is in your own hands. Zhu Peng, who has received this kind of education since childhood, will form the power of destiny trajectory when other necessary conditions are in place.
As for the final "abyss demon", on the one hand, it is indeed the influence of the power of the abyss, but on the other hand, in fact, it is not the embodiment of the recklessness in someone's heart, if Zhu Peng is a person full of light in his heart, the final hole card formed may be "the call of heaven".
Of course, a normal God Eater generally forms a hole card, and three cards like Zhu Peng are also an outlier to some extent, and it is indeed caused by the objective reality of the era he experienced and his own factors.
"I don't know how many years have passed, but don't miss the time to fight with Agni, in that case it will be another trouble. After rediscovering his storage ring in the crack of the cave and putting it on his hand, Zhu Peng flew out through gravity-defying witchcraft.
The grotto that escaped was an isolated island deep in the sea, and first found the nearest fishing boat, and in the frightened screams of the crew, he swept away the harpoons and cannonballs that flew over, and then Zhu Peng was able to ask where he was now.
In this world, they may not know what the Chinese Warriors Association and Hellish Island are, but they are very clear about the Tiyun Sea Heavenly Palace, these plane natives.
A month later, Zhu Peng successfully returned to the Chinese Warriors Association's station, he has been away from here for two years, for a rapidly developing sect, there are two years to build infrastructure, and it can really be changed with each passing day.
Because he didn't want to cause a sensation, Zhu Peng infiltrated and checked the sect's patrol system by the way, but was almost locked by a set of witchcraft magic arrays halfway, and then activated a full set of alarms.
(Martial arts manpower patrol plus a complete set of witchcraft defense system, if it weren't for someone like me who cultivates both veins, I'm afraid even a demigod would be easy to be caught, right?) Thinking like this, Zhu Peng continued to sneak in. However, when passing by Li Ce's office, Zhu Peng was finally discovered by someone.
A middle-aged man with a burly figure but some bookish temperament opened the door, and then he walked up to Zhu Peng, who had already appeared, and hugged him slightly: "It's been two years, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
Li Jingxuan said in a low voice, with some guilt and some emotion in his words.
“...... It's not your fault, it's me who hurt you back then, and I'm the one who should be sorry. As he spoke, Li Jingxuan and Zhu Peng walked into Li Ce's office together, Li Ce was not there, and there were some scattered documents and materials on the desktop, it was obvious that Li Jingxuan was not very handy in handling these affairs.
"It's been a hard time for the past two years, hasn't it? Your mentor, I've been inquiring about him during this time, and he doesn't have a very good reputation, especially in the treatment of his students. ”
"It's true, for him, an apprenticeship is somewhere between experimental materials and consumables, but fortunately I still have some value in his eyes, and normally, he shouldn't kill me easily. Zhu Peng and Li Jingxuan had a verbal conversation.
It was just a matter of two sentences, Li Jingxuan felt something keenly, he glanced at Zhu Peng with some surprise and said, "Peng'er, have you comprehended the real sense of time?"
In the process of exchanging words, Li Jingxuan found that when he communicated with Zhu Peng, he was not as difficult as when he communicated with other people, and naturally noticed that Zhu Peng's reaction speed at this moment was much faster than that of a normal legend.
In fact, the reaction speed of the Legendary Rank existence is also much faster than that of ordinary people, but after all, it is not as fast as the demigod Rank to comprehend the true sense of time and produce a qualitative gap.
"If you haven't been promoted to a real demigod, you can probably do about one second and nine instantaneous, which is about half a step of real time sense. Zhu Peng smiled, this is also his biggest gain in the world of ghost-shaped human hearts, in that demon-making apocalyptic world, his biggest gain is not in demon-making, but in his own cultivation.
"That's great, with this comprehension, and with the energy close to the fourth-order qualitative transformation, what you are short of now is just the kick in the door when you cultivate and accumulate and break through the demigod rank. Li Jingxuan was even more excited and happy than Zhu Peng, for so many years he has carried the entire Chinese Warriors Association alone, and now he sees the rise of outstanding juniors, Li Jingxuan is really relieved.
He stood up, walked back and forth in the room twice, and then said to Zhu Pengyan:
"Do you have confidence in the battle in three years, if you are not sure, we will force it, it is a big deal to start a war with Purgatory Island again, with a two-year buffer, we don't need to give in anymore. ”
"No need, Uncle Li, for me personally, fighting Agni Er is also an excellent cultivation ...... It's fun to kill a demigod with a legend, and when I am promoted to a demigod in the future, I don't even bother to kill a salted fish like Agni Er. ”
"Hahaha!" Zhu Peng's words made Li Jingxuan laugh heartily.
"Indeed, my generation of Danshi walked alone in the dangerous peaks of the lonely mountain, with great perseverance and will, stepped through all kinds of obstacles, sat on the golden pill, and reversed life and death...... It is enough to kill a demigod salted fish and make up for these most basic conditions, if you don't skip the level of the challenge, it will be boring. If someone else said such things to Zhu Peng, Zhu Peng would be alert, and he would be aware that the other party was encouraging him to die.
But Li Jingxuan said such a thing, Zhu Peng didn't have any unusual feelings, because Li Jingxuan came over like this in his life, he was born in an era when the country was ruined and the world was ruined, he walked in the rivers and lakes in a vain attempt to reverse the situation with the power of a horseman, although when Li Jingxuan Dan Dao was completed, New China had been established, but he was in charge of Hongmen at that time, and raised money and goods overseas to send back to the mainland, he really did everything he had for the world.
That family and country have his hard work and efforts, and the overseas Hongmen itself is an organization with a strong attribute of keeping warm and saving the world. Li Jingxuan, as a martial artist, has achieved the ultimate in what he can do.
"In the past two years, I told the public that you are in retreat, but your two younger sisters have come to me many times, I really can't resist it, and what is the matter with that 'Sun Radiance' Charlotte of the Ifrit family? Peng'er, as your elder, I think you should properly adjust your relationship between men and women, and I also know that you will inevitably have a strong demand after the Danfa Dacheng, the descendant of the Pure Yang Sect, but I don't want you to cause any diplomatic problems because of this, that Charlotte is worth the third most. ”
When the topic came to this, Zhu Peng was very embarrassed, he always couldn't accuse Li Jingxuan of his own daughter-in-law, not to mention that Li Jingxuan married those rooms, and he had a clear political purpose for any of them, and it was a bit shameless to use this kind of political exchange to accuse Li Jingxuan of his style. Therefore, Zhu Peng had no choice but to listen to what Li Jingxuan said.
Speaking of the end, Li Jingxuan also referred to him on the spot a set of double cultivation methods for collecting yin and replenishing yang and maintaining vitality.
"Originally, with your physique, I didn't need to worry about it, but Lu Zu's inheritance, whether it's good or not, after Dacheng, it seems that there is no leakage of pure yang, but because of this, the heirs didn't take care of it, not to mention that it was a demigod elf......
(Are you enough?) I don't need you to teach me what posture to use in the room.) At this moment, Zhu Peng's heart was broken, he didn't expect Li Jingxuan to have the attribute of chatterbox.
Of course, it is more likely that there was no original, but after all these years of promotion to demigod, because of the real sense of time, Li Jingxuan even found it difficult to communicate well with other people, and now he finally caught a Zhu Peng who could barely keep up with his rhythm, so it was really a good release.
The news of Zhu Peng's return to the Chinese Warriors Association only circulated in a very small circle in the upper echelons of the entire sect, on the one hand, it was to lower the vigilance of the Purgatory Island, and on the other hand, Zhu Peng himself also needed a period of time to readjust his state, at least for the time being, it was impossible to participate in the operation of the sect.
(The fully charged Soul Eater Sword, combined with my own half-step true sense of time, can increase my status to a true demigod state of 18 seconds and 18 seconds...... Agni, wash your neck and wait. In the quiet room, Zhu Peng crossed his sword to his knees, his eyes cold.
