Silkworm Extermination in a Cage Chapter 44 Wildfire Burning the Plains (I)
It was not physical pain, but mental torture from the will.
Li Mengzhou endured no screams, but he also snorted, and failed to break free from the shackles of Zhang Chong's wrist, so he could only subconsciously swing his sword and sweep away, forcing Zhang Chong to let go of his wrist, Li Mengzhou retreated one after another, and soon moved away from Zhang Chong, holding his head in pain.
Zhang Chongyin stared at Li Mengzhou fiercely, and said coldly: "Being able to easily break through the defense line of my subordinates was indeed very unexpected at first, but I know very well that you are not a monk who accepts the artistic conception, and it seems that someone is helping you." ”
He could see through at a glance that Li Mengzhou was just a little person who had entered Amaterasu and had not even fully stepped into the threshold of cultivation, and in his opinion, Li Mengzhou was a dead move as soon as he made a move, completely ignoring the life and death of the girl in the carriage, it should have been specifically aimed at him.
It's just that he couldn't figure out who it was for a while.
There are not many people who look at him Zhang Chong unpleasantly, but because he is the person brought out by Qin Chengyi, the king of Lu, there is no absolute certainty, and no one has ever dared to kill him, so he has reason to suspect that maybe the person in front of him is not aimed at him, but His Royal Highness Prince Lu.
There are very few people who can wrestle with His Royal Highness Prince Lu, but it is not impossible, and the most powerful one is, of course, His Majesty the Emperor.
But Zhang Chong didn't understand the reason why His Majesty the Emperor did this, and it was impossible to send only one person who was not even a cultivator, this was not to kill people at all, it would only startle the snake.
His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness Prince Lu are brothers of the same mother, and the relationship between the two is very deep, otherwise Prince Lu would not have the opportunity to have such power as he is now, so although His Majesty the Emperor is the most likely person to do something to Prince Lu, he is also the most unlikely person to do it.
The more Zhang Chong thought about it, the more confused he became.
His eyes quickly returned to normal, and he didn't pay attention to Li Mengzhou, who was pale, but glanced at the street under the night, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency hasn't shown up yet?"
It was impossible for the person who killed the three guards with the flying sword to be Li Mengzhou, and there was a truly terrifying enemy hidden in the shadows.
There was silence around him, only his voice drifting slowly in the cold night wind.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and frowned.
Turned his gaze in another direction.
There was nothing in that direction, only dead leaves that the wind didn't know where it was blowing.
The expression on Zhang Chong's face faded away, leaving only absolute calm, or absolute indifference.
"It turned out that he was just a young man, and he didn't even dare to show up?"
No one answered him in the quiet streets, as if he were talking to himself.
The only remaining guard waiting by the carriage also looked a little strange.
The girl was still sitting in the empty carriage, and she looked at the black-clothed young man in the distance with tearful eyes.
Because she was covered and her voice was a little dull, she couldn't hear Li Mengzhou's voice, but there was still some familiarity, a figure had already appeared in her mind, and her originally dead pupils suddenly glowed with some color.
Li Mengzhou's slightly trembling body gradually stopped, and he raised his head to look at the man who completely ignored him.
His pupils were as dark as the deepest, darkest night sky.
Then, in this night sky, the brightest stars suddenly flashed.
Looking through these deep black pupils, it seemed that there was an infinite starry sky inside.
Zhang Chong was immersed in finding the master hidden in the shadows, but the experience of thousands of battles still made him feel the undisguised killing intent in front of him.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Li Mengzhou carried the sword, step by step, and slowly approached.
Zhang Chong calmly looked at Li Mengzhou, who was gradually approaching, and then slapped his palm on Li Mengzhou's chest when the distance was less than one meter.
didn't really come into contact, and Li Mengzhou, who was one meter away, seemed to hit a wall head-on, and his body flew out upside down.
However, when he was in mid-air, Li Mengzhou struggled to throw out the dark blue sword in his hand in a very strange posture.
Xu didn't expect that Li Mengzhou would be able to fight back in this situation, Zhang Chong's reaction was a little slower, and the dark blue sword grazed his chest and slid past, his clothes were torn, and a blood mark appeared on his skin.
Zhang Chong silently stared at the wound on his chest.
He suddenly looked up at Li Mengzhou.
I thought that what I saw would be a very miserable end, because his palm didn't leave much strength at the beginning, not to mention a weak person who had not entered the Far Journey Realm, even if he was at the peak of the Far Journey Realm or even a monk who had just entered the artistic conception, he would be slapped to death by his palm.
However, although Li Mengzhou was very embarrassed, he seemed to be unscathed, but his face became a little paler.
This discovery made Zhang Chong feel incredible.
Thinking that his dignified cultivation of artistic conception once fought on the battlefield, but he was injured by a boy who had just entered Amaterasu, and the other party didn't even spit out blood from his mouth when he took his palm, which made it difficult for him to remain calm.
The mood that was supposed to be good today is terrible at this moment.
Zhang Chong felt tired, no matter who wanted to kill him, or His Royal Highness Prince Lu who was mainly targeting him, the person who wanted to kill him in front of him had to pay the price.
Killing intent appeared in his eyes, extremely heavy.
Li Mengzhou has indeed killed a lot of people, but compared with Zhang Chong, who has been on the battlefield, he must be a small thing.
The weight of killing intent is not the same level.
But Li Mengzhou was not afraid at all, and carried the sword to kill again.
He gave up all defenses, and the offensive was wide open, as if he was fighting with his life.
The body that had been tempered by the medicinal bath and the toughest black silkworm armor in the world protected him, so there was no need for him to distract himself from defense.
Under the force of the palm of the beginner Zhang Chong, Li Mengzhou had already deeply understood that the defense of the black silkworm armor alone could offset the attack power of most of the Chengyi monks.
As long as Zhang Chong was not given time to continue to torture his will, Li Mengzhou would not have the opportunity to kill the Chengyi monk if he got close.
Zhang Chong didn't know this, so he didn't deliberately stop Li Mengzhou's close-quarters.
But after all, the gap in cultivation between the two is too big, and it is not so simple for Li Mengzhou to kill Zhang Chong easily.
He himself knows this very well, otherwise why would he ask Jiang Zihua for help.
Li Mengzhou's unyielding perseverance still gave Zhang Chong a lot of shock.
No matter how many times he repels Li Mengzhou, he will soon be bullied again, and he will be annoyed.
It's not that Zhang Chong didn't have the idea of killing Li Mengzhou once, but he found that he didn't seem to be able to do it at all.
Li Mengzhou, who was already bleeding from his head, didn't seem to be seriously injured, but the speed of his attack became faster and faster, as if he couldn't be killed at all, and he had inexhaustible strength.
This made Zhang Chong feel extremely embarrassed.
Although he is not invincible in the same realm, there are only a handful of people who can kill him, not to mention a little guy who has just entered Amaterasu?
He couldn't figure out what the hell was going on.
For the first time, Zhang Chong felt that the waste wood that had not entered the threshold of cultivation was so difficult, as if it was more powerful than the artistic conception.
Mo said that he couldn't believe it, I was afraid that everyone in the world would not believe that such a scene happened.
After a while, Zhang Chong was a little out of breath.
His face was blue and black, and it was extremely ugly.
Seeing the young man who was not afraid of death and rushed with a sword again, Zhang Chong actually had a trace of fear in his heart.
No matter how weak the opponent is in his eyes, if he can't kill him, it will be an extremely terrible thing.
Zhang Chong's heart was already in turmoil.
He looked back at the guard guarding the girl next to the carriage, and shouted, "Don't come and help me!"
It was hard for the guard to imagine that his master would be forced into such a situation.
Originally, it was because he suspected that Li Mengzhou was a monk who accepted the artistic conception, so he was also very afraid, but later he realized that he was thinking badly, so he felt that Zhang Pi would kill such a small person, and it should be like a bag to get something, but he didn't expect such a result.
There wasn't much time for him to think, and seeing the murderous gaze of Zhang Chong, who was as violent as thunder and red-faced, the guard immediately rushed forward with a knife.
Dealing with Zhang Chong alone, Li Mengzhou has already shown all his skills, but it has only made Zhang Chong embarrassed, there is no absolute chance to kill him with a sword, and now there is another guard who has at least traveled to the upper realm to cultivate, and Li Mengzhou's face has become ugly.
Although this was decided by him in advance, until the last moment, Qingyi and Jiang Zihua did not have to show up, but this was obviously a very critical moment, Li Mengzhou did not have the ability to kill Zhang Chong, who was cultivating in the artistic conception, at least he was not absolutely sure, so Qingyi and Jiang Zihua should have appeared, but there was no movement for a long time.
He couldn't help but secretly scold these two unrighteous guys in his heart, who only knew how to watch the show.
And in a dark part of the street, Jiang Zihua cautiously looked at the man in Tsing Yi who was leaning against the wall as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, and reminded: "If we don't make a move, Li Mengzhou's kid won't be able to hold on." ”
It's not that Jiang Zihua's character has softened, but that he knows better than Li Mengzhou how strong the man in Tsing Yi in front of him is.
He couldn't imagine how this person could be involved with Li Mengzhou, and even agreed to do such an unbelievable thing.
Qing Yi lowered his head slightly, put his hands around his chest, didn't open his eyes, and said lightly: "I just promised him to come over, and I didn't promise him to make a move, you seem to have misunderstood something." ”
Thinking of Li Mengzhou's threat to him, Qingyi was very unhappy.
He didn't know where Li Mengzhou came from to be so bold, daring to come and kill a monk who promised to go to the upper realm, or someone from the military department, this is equivalent to murdering an official of the imperial court, once the deeds are revealed, what awaits Li Mengzhou is definitely a huge trouble.
He just didn't want this matter to be involved with the Heavenly Council, so he appeared here.
Jiang Zihua didn't know what he should say, but he still felt a little unbelievable when he looked at everything that happened on the street, and said in a low voice: "That guy Li Mengzhou is really a monster, even if he visualizes it in Amaterasu for half a day, he can't see the sea of qi after all." But his humble cultivation was able to fight with the Chengyi Cultivator to such a point, and he almost killed that Zhang Chong several times, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed such a thing. ”
Hearing this, Qing Yi finally took a look at what was happening on the street, frowned slightly, and said: "Zhang Chong has gradually become chaotic because he has been unable to solve the little people who can be easily crushed for a long time, if Li Mengzhou is half a point stronger, and even enters the realm of traveling far, it is not that there is no chance to kill Zhang Chong." ”
Jiang Zihua hesitated: "Each realm in the Five Realms of Cultivation has a world of different distances, even within the same realm, it is not easy to cross, let alone across the Great Realm, with the strength of not entering the far journey, you can have the opportunity to kill the Cheng Artistic Realm Cultivator, I am afraid that even the senior brother and Shen Qiubai of the Star Picking Mansion will not be able to do it." ”
Qing Yi said solemnly: "Crossing the border to kill enemies has always been a rare thing in the world of cultivators, and those who have achieved the ultimate in history have only crossed a small realm, such as those who are extremely evil, and they can compete with the upper realm of Yuanyou when they first enter the Yuanyou realm, and even crush them.
But in front of the Great Realm, this is absolutely impossible. Even if he is a cultivator who has traveled to the pinnacle of the distance, he can no longer easily cross and kill the cultivators of the lower realm of Chengyi as before. And Li Mengzhou has not only crossed a big realm, although he does not have the ability to kill Zhang Chong, it is already a very fantasy thing. ”
The division between realms and realms is very strict, and there are very few demons who can ignore the realm, even if someone can be invincible in the same realm, but when they encounter a realm higher than themselves, even if it is just a small realm, it is a wall that cannot be broken.
In other words, it is not impossible to cross the border and challenge in the same realm, but if you exceed a great realm, even if you reach the peak of the second realm, in front of the cultivators who have just entered the third realm, you will still be like a scum.
And Li Mengzhou crossed the second realm and traveled far to the third realm at the stage of entering Amaterasu, which is impossible and should not happen in anyone's opinion.
How did they know that Li Mengzhou's so-called cross-border challenge relied more on his extraordinary physique and the protection of the black silkworm armor.
If it weren't for Zhang Chong's inability to react for a while, he couldn't cause considerable damage to Li Mengzhou, and mistakenly thought that the other party couldn't be killed, how could he be so embarrassed.
The black silkworm armor only protects the upper body, and the human body is not only the most fragile heart, but also the head is extremely fragile, with the power of the artistic conception, there is no need to destroy the spirit at all, and Li Mengzhou's head can be blown up with one punch, which can not be protected by no matter how strong the body is.
It was precisely because of this misunderstanding, and Zhang Chong fell into a panicked situation again, that there was no way to take Li Mengzhou for a while, and he was exhausted from being entangled, otherwise Li Mengzhou would not say that he would cross the realm to kill the enemy, but the guard who traveled far away could easily kill Li Mengzhou hundreds of times.
But Zhang Chong didn't know about this kind of thing, the guard didn't know, and Qing Yi and Jiang Zihua didn't know either.
In this way, Li Mengzhou's superior performance is very shocking.
Qing Yi seemed to vaguely understand at this moment why Director Jiang had to include Li Mengzhou in the Heavenly Council.
A demonic cultivation genius like this, let alone the Heavenly Academy, I'm afraid that all the cultivation mountain gates will not be left behind.
Qing Yi understands better than anyone what kind of person Jiang Sishou is standing on, so the person who can be recognized by Jiang Sishou is definitely not just a mediocre talent.
Originally, Qingyi's opinion of Li Mengzhou was the same as those in the capital who talked about, ridiculed, and satirized because of the entrance test to leave the palace, but now, he had to change his opinion of Li Mengzhou a little.
It is indeed a pity that such a person died.
......
Li Mengzhou felt very bad.
With the addition of that guard, it is even more impossible to get close to Zhang Chong, and after a long time, Zhang Chong will soon be able to react, and the means of inheriting the artistic conception monk are something that Li Mengzhou can't imagine at all.
Perhaps Li Mengzhou's worries became a fact, and Zhang Chong, who was originally quite annoyed and crazy, suddenly calmed down gradually.
He pondered the whole battle and found some suspicious points.
Under the pressure of his mental power, Li Mengzhou's performance at that time was extremely unbearable, and even if his thoughts deepened a little, he might directly become a fool.
But after that, he never attacked Li Mengzhou with his mind, so Li Mengzhou's counterattack became more and more ferocious.
Zhang Chong felt that there must be some problems with Li Mengzhou's body.
But it didn't matter, because he had already found a way to kill the other easily.
And this was an easy thing for him to do.
He didn't even need to get close to Li Mengzhou, even if he was a hundred meters away, he only needed one thought to make Li Mengzhou die without a place to be buried.
So he quietly looked at the boy opposite.
Li Mengzhou sensed a strange aura.
He slowly retreated with his sword.
Even if the monk of the Cheng Artistic Conception kills the enemy only in a thought, it still takes time.
No one can tell exactly how long a thought lasts, depending on how much it contains.
But with the killing thoughts, time is very fast.
So even if Li Mengzhou understood something, he didn't have time to react more.
The cold wind slowly blew between Li Mengzhou and Zhang Chong, rolling up the dust and mist that lasted for more than ten battles, which was the form presented by the agitation and condensation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the field of vision.
The chill to the bones seemed to have become much more intense at this moment.
Li Mengzhou suddenly felt a little stinging in his eyes, and subconsciously left a tear.
An extremely powerful qi machine completely sealed him in the air, and when Zhang Chong's thoughts were transmitted to this area, it was the time when the things in the qi blocked space withered.
Li Mengzhou rubbed his eyes, his vision became hazy, Zhang Chong seemed to be dozens of meters away, and suddenly stood in front of him, and then he was about to raise the sword in his hand, and at the moment of falling, Li Mengzhou knew very well what was waiting for him.
But what was imagined did not happen.
He tried hard to open his eyes, but felt as if something in them was obscuring his vision.
It was a lot like tears, though.
But it's not quite like that.
Out of curiosity, Li Mengzhou stretched out his finger and wiped it lightly, feeling a little sticky.
As he got closer, he narrowed his eyes and finally saw what it was.
The fingertips were bright red, and that was blood.
It's the blood that comes out of my own eyes.
The stinging sensation is a little more intense.
He couldn't help but want to rub it, but a cold voice came to his ears, it was a familiar voice.
"Don't rub it, you'll be blind. ”
