Chapter Seventy-Six: Compromise

/p> When Cheng Yuan began to meddle in the situation of the cultivators in the inner realm of the ancient battlefield again, he didn't know or expect that there was another self at the same time, and he was in a dire situation that he had never felt before.

......

In fact, when Cheng Yuan's soul first regained consciousness, he had some time to forget the situation he was in, and he also forgot that he was just an insignificant wisp of soul in his body.

The extreme heaviness and discomfort of his body that he experienced was a serious injury and weakness that he hadn't felt for many years, even more than the last time Lu Qiming recited the Divine Killing Technique......

When he arrived here, his thoughts froze, and his memories quickly returned, and Cheng Yuan's distracted soul suddenly opened his eyes. Soon, the strong feeling imprinted from the depths of his soul forced him to look around for the first time-

Ji Mu was looking at him intently from a distance.

Ji Mu had never shown such a kind expression on his face, and there was even a little unconsciously flattering in his tentative eyes, as if he was worried that it would scare this person who had just woken up. He said, "Are you awake?"

Before he could figure out what was going on, Cheng Yuan couldn't help but reply, "Yes." ”

One word came out, and Cheng Yuan's face changed sharply. He didn't bother to pay attention to the people he didn't look down on, but as soon as Ji Mu asked him, even if it was such a meaningless and stupid question, he subconsciously answered it truthfully, and he was completely out of his control!

Cheng Yuan finally realized something.

Extreme shock and great shame exploded in his mind like a thunderbolt, and his heart was swept away by the boundless killing intent frenzy, and he wanted to immediately crush Ji Mu's bones to ashesβ€”

However, at the same moment when this thought arose in Cheng Yuan's heart, a sharp pain like tearing his soul came to the world, completely dispersing his consciousness in an instant. The unspeakable pain made his eyes suddenly dizzy, and it was difficult for him to concentrate his attention and think again in a short period of time, let alone put the matter of "killing Ji Mu" into practice.

This is the punishment of the blood pact of the master and servant, but this season is no more than a mortal, even if he can carve the blood pact when he is weak, it will never be bound to this point. Cheng Yuan naturally knew his own methods best, and with a little perception, he knew that this was clearly an extra force added to the ontology of the outside world when the blood contract was successful at that time!

Thinking about this one, even Cheng Yuan will inevitably go crazy with anger at this moment because of this self-inflicted absurdity.

He tried his best to suppress the killing thoughts in his heart a little, and tried not to look at Ji Mu as much as possible, trying his best to think of a possible way to solve the dilemma. But the bad thing is that it was Cheng Yuan himself who made the effort to strengthen the blood contract at the beginning, and if it was Lu Qiming, it would be simple......

In an instant, this name made Cheng Yuan finally come to his senses. He curled his fingers, and felt a slight delay in consciousness and movement, which was actually Lu Qiming's body.

Dare to let him take over his body? Cheng Yuan couldn't help but wonder, or maybe there was something wrong with Lu Qiming's divine soul?

Cheng Yuan wanted to test a thing or two, but when he heard a sneer coming from the depths of his heart, he could only give up, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Looking at the current situation, Lu Qiming obviously wants to take him to the top tank, but now it is no longer a matter of "waiting for the opportunity", just relying on this soul split, Cheng Yuan really has no way at all.

......

Ji Mu is surprisingly patient today.

It's still the same face, and at this time, the young man lowered his eyes and didn't say a word, his pale cheeks were still indifferent, but it made Ji Mu look at it and pleasing to the eye, and he wouldn't be annoyed to wait for a long time.

Seeing that the young man was finally willing to open his eyes again, Ji Mu immediately showed the softest smile he could show, and asked softly, "What are you...... Have you figured it out?"

Ji Mu thought he was kind, but in Cheng Yuan's opinion, it was completely an insult from Dai Tian. In fact, Cheng Yuan was already helpless to prepare to slowly try it, but after listening to Ji Mu's words, all his patience was once again dissipated into oblivion by the crazy killing intent in his heart.

Cheng Yuan is used to the role of dominating others, even when he is young and down, he thinks he is superior, and he can't bear this kind of shame no matter what. Ignoring the damage to the soul caused by the punishment of the blood contract, Cheng Yuan threw himself at Ji Mu with all his strength and strangled him directly by the neck!

However, for this scene, even Qiao Ji, who had been carefully guarding Ji Mu, did not show the slightest nervousness and vigilance.

Because it's unnecessary.

It was not so much that the young man was killing the past, but that he fell in front of Ji Mu, and the hands that stretched out with killing intent had not even touched Ji Mu's cheeks before his fingertips had to turn around and support his body with difficulty.

If Cheng Yuan is body is here, then he only needs to move lightly, and Ji Mu will immediately turn into a wisp of revenant. But now, he was far overestimating the strength left in this body.

Lu Qiming's body, which was on the verge of nirvana twice, was forcibly interrupted by Cheng Yuan one after another, and the last time was when the blade of the chest almost drained the true blood of the phoenix, and it was the limit to be able to barely wake up, let alone kill people with his own hands again, there was no possibility at all.

Cheng Yuan lay on the ground and gasped in embarrassment, his anger collided with the earth-shaking pain in his soul, and his eyes were dyed blood-red. In just a few breaths, he was already sweating like pulp, his face was pale, but he kept staring at Ji Mu with his eyes open. Only by thinking that no matter who wins in the end, Ji Mu must die, Cheng Yuan can endure not completely losing his mind.

"Looks like that's the answer. Ji Mu sighed regretfully, but there was a joke hidden in the depths of his eyes, "Then what are you thinking about now?"

"Thinking about ......" Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth and sneered, and said, "How to ...... you Cramps and skins, broken corpses!"

When he said this, the red mark on the young man's eyebrows had gradually healed, but at this moment, it broke again due to the violent struggle, revealing new blood, and a straight red blood stain was drawn along the bridge of his nose, and with a click, it dripped to the ground.

Ji Mu laughed out loud with joy and said, "It turns out that you can also say such things." ”

He just likes to see the people who were originally high and high being forced to lose their manners, he likes to see the people who are struggling but to no avail, and he likes to see the person who killed him at the beginning, but now he is so weak that he is not even allowed to have the idea of hurting him anymore.

Ji Mu watched this scene intently, his eyes were so hot that he was almost greedy. He only felt that in all the years he had lived, there was no moment of satisfaction comparable to this time.

"I ......" Cheng Yuan hated it very much, but he couldn't say the following words.

He has tried to clarify his identity several times since he woke up, and if the body knew that it was really him who was recruited, he would definitely personally solve Ji Mu and Lu Qiming. It's a pity that this body is Lu Qiming's after all, and every time Cheng Yuan wants to say it, he will be suppressed by him immediately, and it is difficult to say it at all!

"Lu Qiming!" Cheng Yuan roared loudly in his heart, but he couldn't make any sound, his eyes turned black with anger, and his heart beat in a cold sweat; this body was too weak.

And the next moment, a thought suddenly crossed his mind - if he waited for the opportunity to use the last strength to break the heart of this body, even if this wisp of soul dissipated, Lu Qiming would be able to die together, wouldn't everything be solved?

"Don't kill yourself!"

At this moment, the blood contract brand in the depths of his soul suddenly gave birth to an irresistible restraint, which made Cheng Yuan suddenly stiffen - but it was Ji Mufang who saw that his expression suddenly turned calm, and he sensed that something was wrong, and he had already prevented him from extricating himself in this way, so he immediately interrupted.

"What stupid thing to do, after all, you can stay in the green mountains, aren't you afraid that there will be no firewood? Ji Mu persuaded him with a smile instead, and said, "If you are looking for death and looking for a place to live like a girl's family all day long, you will make me look down on me." ”

Cheng Yuan stared at Ji Mu's face with red eyes, his chest was extremely painful, hating and hating, and finally couldn't stop spurting out a mouthful of blood!

Ji Mu looked at him with hatred and couldn't eat his flesh, and the smile on his face was even bigger. He kindly helped the boy to his feet, set him up steadily, and then advised: "Why are you so angry? In a few days you will know that I am still very good to my own people." ”

After saying that, Ji Mu waved to Qiao Ji, who was waiting on the side, Qiao Ji understood, nodded and turned around and went behind a stone wall that Cheng Yuan couldn't see.

Cheng Yuan couldn't mobilize his spiritual power at the moment, and he couldn't sense what he was doing. However, Georgie did not leave for long, and soon came back with a small cup in his hand.

Cheng Yuan treated people with himself, and he expected that Ji Mu would not really be kind enough to serve him a bowl of soup to drink, it must be something that tosses people, and he became more and more annoyed in his heart, but he also knew that he had made a loss today, so he could only force himself to calm down as much as possible, and endure it for a while before making another plan.

"That's right," Ji Mu took the small cup from Qiao Ji's hand, leaned closer, and said with a smile: "If you talk about the grievances between the two of us, but you have taken the initiative to provoke me several times, but I have saved your life every time." The only time in my life that I have done this thing to repay grievances with virtue is that it should be on you, so you should give me some good faces, right?"

Cheng Yuan frowned. The injury did not affect the body's innate spiritual sense, and he had already smelled an unusual smell of blood.

At the beginning, Lu Qiming's body was seriously injured and dying, and what method Ji Mu used to save people back, Cheng Yuan couldn't figure it out. So when he saw Ji Mu lift the lid and reveal the demon pill inside, Cheng Yuan was really stunned, it was so simple. After all, there was no such race of goblins in his original world, so he completely ignored it.

Ji Mu misunderstood the meaning of his pause.

"Don't want to?" Ji Mu's smile became more meaningful, "Then what do you think...... How did you survive?"

Cheng Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the demon pill that was still bloodstained, with a strange emotion in his eyes, and he didn't speak.

He lowered his head, although Ji Mu couldn't see the young man's expression clearly, this silence undoubtedly pleased him.

"Demon pill, I have saved three or four pieces in the ring before, and I don't know when I killed them in the past, but unfortunately it is not enough for you at all. Ji Mu blinked, the corners of his lips hooked an innocent smile, and said, "Fortunately, there is no shortage of demon clans who came to the ancient battlefield this time. I've asked Georgie to kill you a lot of them these days while you've been asleep, so might as well guess how many there are?"

"Lu Qiming, did you hear clearly?" Cheng Yuan sneered with Lu Qiming in his heart, "If it weren't for your greed for life and fear of death, those little cultivators of the demon clan wouldn't have lost their lives in vain! Don't you all claim to be saints, I don't believe you don't even have the ability to stop them from killing people now......; You just deliberately sit back and watch, and you want to make a living in this way?"

Lu Qiming did not respond from beginning to end.

And Ji Mu finally found out that his expression was wrong - he was actually laughing!

"You...... What are you laughing at?" Ji Mu hesitated a little and said, "If you really don't want to guess, then I won't ask." ”

"No," Cheng Yuan chuckled, "You killed well." ”

Ji Mu's eyes widened, almost thinking that he had misheard.

"Otherwise," Cheng Yuan laughed hatefully: "How could Lu Qiming admit how ridiculous his hypocrisy is!"

Ji Mu was slightly shocked when he heard this, but he didn't think about it elsewhere, just when he was so annoyed that he was talking nonsense, he didn't dare to stimulate him too deliberately for a while, and he couldn't help but let go of his voice.

Ji Mu poured some of the previously refined spiritual liquid into the small cup, and the luck turned the demon pill away, and after picking it up, it looked much better, and he couldn't tell what was originally inside.

"You can drink it as medicine," Ji Mu persuaded with kind words, "This is really saving your life, you should prioritize it." ”

It's just that although he said kindly, he was not polite at all, grabbed Cheng Yuan's chin and poured it directly in, with a malicious smile on his face.

Cheng Yuan was caught off guard by him and took a sip, and before he could get angry, he felt a sudden rush of qi in his chest, and he subconsciously wanted to press it, but the ubiquitous bloody qi continued to stimulate his nerves. Cheng Yuan sat stiff for a moment with a pale face, and then couldn't help but fall to the side and began to retch violently.

"It's not going to be such a big reaction, right?" Ji Mu hurriedly dodged the back with the hand holding the small cup, saving himself from being knocked over by him, and smiled again: "Anyway, this method is still very effective, at least you have the strength to toss now, aren't you?" I'm afraid you don't know what you looked like before-I almost thought you were dead." ”

Cheng Yuan struggled to support the ground with his arms, as uncomfortable as a prostration, but there was a twisted pleasure in his heart. Because he knew that this was Lu Qiming's reaction at all!

"Aren't you trying to escape?" Cheng Yuan sneered and said to Lu Qiming, "If you can't stand it, why don't you give this body to me completely? ”

Cheng Yuan said this on purpose, because he knew that Lu Qiming would never dare. He hoped that Lu Qiming would be dizzy and voluntarily cut off the connection with this body, and then it would be up to him to do whatever he did at that time.

Unexpectedly, there was no response, Cheng Yuan's smile was even more sarcastic, and he was about to raise his hand and take the initiative to pick up the small cup; since Lu Qiming had harmed him so far, Cheng Yuan naturally would not let go of any opportunity to make him feel bad!

It's a pity that his intentions were detected by Lu Qiming almost at the same time, and the slightest obstruction changed his taste, as if he wanted to resist. Cheng Yuan was immediately firmly restrained by Qiao Ji who was waiting on the side, and he couldn't even open his mouth to tell the difference.

"You're still too clean. Ji Mu looked at the young man's pale face condescendingly, he had already changed into clean clothes, but in the short time after waking up, he was soaked in cold sweat.

Ji Mu's smile softened even more, and he sighed: "I know people like you. Born with a good life, everything goes smoothly, always protected and taken care of well, and never encountered any difficult things, so I don't know that life itself is a very luxurious thing, so I believe in what 'soldiers can be killed but not humiliated', or it is a set of morality and bottom line...... In fact, as long as you can survive, everything else is secondary. You can save your life by devouring your own kind, and I can't ask for it. ”

Ji Mu grabbed the young man's chin with one hand, met his extremely embarrassed eyes, and smiled even deeper, "You will definitely thank me in the future." ”

......

......

A whole day is not peaceful.

Cheng Yuan knows Ji Mu this kind of person best, the more harmless he behaves, the more bad the idea he comes up with. This is exactly what happened, but it was definitely not what Cheng Yuan hoped for. On this day, Ji Mu was using various means to test the effectiveness of the blood contract on him, and Lu Qiming always restrained his words and deeds, Cheng Yuan hated so much that he went crazy but could only bear it, and in the end, even Cheng Yuan was tossed so that he lost his temper, until this body was unconscious, and he was able to be let go by Ji Mu unsatisfied.

"Lu Qiming!" As soon as he returned to the Zhihai space, Cheng Yuan couldn't help but roar. He stared ahead as if he was going to eat someone, and hissed and roared, "You finally don't pretend to be dead?!"

Lu Qiming looked at Cheng Yuan hysterically, but his expression was indifferent and almost gloomy, and asked, "Are you satisfied with this?"

There was not even a trace of schadenfreude in his eyes, just like the cold ice at the end of December, the mountains destroyed the grass and froze, freezing the resentment in Cheng Yuan's chest in place, and suddenly there was nothing to say.

This ridiculous farce has been staged so far, and both sides have lost, isn't it all concocted by Cheng Yuan himself?

The exhaustion of the whole body overwhelmed the hatred, and the tone couldn't help but bring a low tone of fatigue. Cheng Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "You have the guts, dare to be so stiff, when the outside body comes to see it, I want to see how you end." ”

"What are you waiting for," Lu Qiming smiled sarcastically and said, "Haven't you been there all along?"

Cheng Yuan was stunned and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean?"

"That's what you think. ”

Lu Qiming raised his hand and pointed to Cheng Yuan's eyebrows, Cheng Yuan immediately felt that something suddenly dispersed in front of him, and suddenly raised his head, and he saw the scene when the outside body turned around and left with a satisfied look! Without waiting for Cheng Yuan to react, Lu Qiming nodded again, but Cheng Yuan couldn't see anything.

"You can actually ......" Cheng Yuan couldn't suppress a panic in his heart, if he continued like this, wouldn't he be imprisoned here forever?

Lu Qiming chuckled lowly, and his tone couldn't hear the exact emotion: "I also remembered not long ago that my amazing master still taught me something useful...... It's just that he didn't even realize it. ”

"Don't talk about that. Lu Qiming raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Yuan, who was bound by the seal, and rarely showed a trace of real smile.

He said, "Make an exchange." If you give me a way to break these seals, I'll help you deal with Ji Mu outside. ”

Cheng Yuan almost scolded directly when he heard this, and said hatefully: "That should have been you!"

"Then you can continue tomorrow. Lu Qiming smiled disappreciatively and said, "You should know that with your temperament, it must not be enough to just look at the excitement of this day." So there's still a lot of time, I can wait. ”

Cheng Yuan looked at him unreasonably, and said sharply: "That's your own body! In the eyes of all of them, it's you Lu Qiming, not me, who has lost their dignity! Can you bear it?"

"So what?" Lu Qiming said flatly: "As long as I know if it's not, that's enough." ”

Cheng Yuan suddenly gasped twice, and was speechless for a while.

"You don't have to answer me immediately," Lu Qiming didn't mean to wait for him in the same place, and his figure quickly faded, "You think about it slowly these days." ”

"Wait!"

And at the same time as he blurted out, Cheng Yuan was already annoyed, he actually forgot that this was Lu Qiming's sea knowledge space, and his consciousness was already omnipresent, so how could he say that he was leaving?

But as soon as the words had been spoken, Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth again and again, and finally said: "One more condition." ”

Lu Qiming said: "Say." ”

"If you get out of trouble, the first thing-" Cheng Yuan's face appeared with a crazy killing intent overlapping with pain, and he said word for word: "Kill Ji Mu first!"

Lu Qiming smiled and said softly, "Okay." ”
