Chapter 172: The Ruler Misses
"I'll kill, or weed out Mush."
"But the corresponding price is that you also have to kill Zuo Mingqiu to ensure that you and I have equal losses, otherwise I won't do this."
He looked at Chen Changkong and said word by word.
When Chen Changkong heard this, his weed-like sword eyebrows quietly stretched, and he nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Hearing this, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then be it." ”
After speaking, the two stopped talking, and Xuan Jian also walked back to the other side of the holy platform, he and Chen Changkong were still enemies after all, and it would be dangerous to get too close.
And the rest of the people didn't have the heart to do anything in the remaining half an hour, reaching the top was almost impossible for them, and besides, this was not the last round, so there was no need to fight everything at this time.
Little by little, time passed.
The coercion on the Holy Ladder is also becoming more and more powerful, the sky is thundering, as if it is going to kill everything in the world, and the domain masters of the fourth stage may sense the danger when they see it, not to mention these teenagers who are hovering around the first stage of the third stage.
"Look, Zuo Mingqiu has been thrown off!"
Outside the field, someone pointed to the figure in the broken plain robe on the holy ladder and shouted in shock.
That figure is Zuo Mingqiu, the ancestor of the Daomen, the inheritor of the Heavenly Master Mountain, the first monarch of the Nine Heavens, and the current position is on the ninety-sixth step of the Holy Ladder.
Above him, there is only one person, and that is Xu Mu, or the Jiang family surnamed Mu Xu under the pseudonym.
His position is above Zuo Mingqiu.
If this is the case from the beginning, everyone can accept it, just like Chen Changkong and Zuo Mingqiu, the two are equal, and the difference is almost only the difference between going first and going last.
But obviously, people were so shocked, and it was clear that the situation between the two of them was not like that now.
Zuo Mingqiu, in the ninety-six steps.
And Xu Mu, in the ninety-eight.
It's not just that, because it's not like Zuo Mingqiu, who has just stepped on ninety-six, but has stayed at ninety-eight for a while, and now it's stepping out again.
Boom!
One step out, thunder like a wave.
The Holy Ladder shook, and the coercion swept through the entire space, and even Zuo Mingqiu below had to use his ability to resist, and his face was a little pale.
And when this coercion slowly disappeared, when he looked up, he saw that Xu Mu had already walked to the ninety-ninth step.
At this time, there is still a stick of incense before the official end of this third round, that is, half of half an hour.
This amount of time, if it had been placed before, no one would have thought that it was enough, but when all the clansmen in the land of the hundred clans saw Xu Mu's performance, everyone felt that this time was enough.
This time is very sufficient.
Because of him, from the ninety steps to the ninety-nine steps, it only took a total of time to stick incense, and he walked leisurely with an expressionless face.
This last step, can you stop him?
"I still remember that year, the Holy Son of the Nangong clan, His Royal Highness Taiyi, said personally after climbing the Holy Ladder that this last step is more difficult than the previous ninety-nine steps combined, can this Mu Xu cross it?"
In the crowd, someone said with a nervous expression, but no one answered him, because no one knew the answer to this question.
"We can only pray in our hearts that this child can live up to expectations and successfully reach the top."
In the direction of the Jiang family, many ancestor-level human races stood up, their eyes did not leave the back of the young man at the top of the holy ladder for a moment, and their eyes were pious and solemn. The Jiang family can only be regarded as the middle stream among the hundred clans, or the middle stream is the last stream, because the overall strength of the hundred clans is almost the same, except for those families at the front.
Looking at the entire Ten Thousand Clans Alliance, no matter in which link, the best result that their Jiang family has ever achieved is only seventy-six.
And now, their Jiang family has actually produced a junior, and he first tied with the strongest demon of the Garland clan!
Then, Xu Mu showed his natural strength, eliminated Ye Gong, ran away from Qi Sheng, and overpowered the Xuanyuan family, the Chen family, and the Ji family...... Even the geniuses of Heavenly Master Mountain ascended to the holy ladder of the ninety-ninth floor.
Now, he is only one floor away from stepping into the hundredth floor of the Holy Altar, and he really wins the first place in this round with a crushing momentum.
What is the view at the top of the Holy Ladder?
In the whole world, only two people have seen it.
"Now, it seems like there's going to be a third person."
On the judge's seat of the Ten Thousand Clans Alliance, the old Dao voice of the half-step human king sighed in a complicated voice, and it was in this sigh that Xu Mu faced the wind and waves that were about to squeeze his body to pieces, and took a step forward without fear.
Surprisingly, when he chose to bear those storms head-on, those storms disappeared instead, and Xu Mu did not feel any resistance, so he stood on the hundredth floor of the holy platform.
The thunderstorm dissipated, and the clouds were cleared by the sun.
The golden holy radiance, accompanied by the sunshine, shone on Xu Mu's body, like a crown, and the eyes of all the people in the sky and on the earth were all focused on him at this time.
Xu Mu stood at the highest place, turned his head to look at the world, swept over the figures, and finally looked at Zuo Mingqiu, who was closest to him, and stretched out his hand very sincerely and asked:
"Do you want me to pull you?"
When Zuo Mingqiu heard this, his face instantly turned pale, his steps trembled, and he fell from the ninety-eighth layer of the holy ladder, and with a bang, he fell on the ninety-level holy platform, spitting blood.
Seeing this, Xu Mu was instantly stunned.
"Little Zuo!"
Outside the field, countless people exclaimed, and the Dao Gu of Tianshi Mountain flew towards the direction of the Holy Ladder uncontrollably, but as soon as she flew halfway, she was stopped outside by an invisible barrier, and she could not take a step forward.
"Muqing, come back, don't be embarrassed here!" The old Taoist master of Tianshi Mountain, who was good at divination, said angrily in a deep voice, his voice rolling and shaking the clouds, as if he was taking this opportunity to vent his emotions.
"Oh my God, Zuo Mingqiu actually fell from the Holy Ladder, does he want to be heartbroken and become a madman!"
Mu Qing listened to the discussion, looked at Zuo Mingqiu, who was in a bleak state on the holy platform, and couldn't help but have red eyes.
"Master, I'm worried that Xiao Zuo will be like the previous Nangong Holy Son, unable to withstand the blow and breed demons!"
Lao Dao shook his head, sighed and comforted: "How can the heart demon be born so easily, what happened to your nephew back then was purely because of Ji Chang's ability, you don't have to be too sad and worried." ”
"Besides, you've been cultivating Xiao Zuo as your nephew, don't you understand a truth?"
"Some blows, coming earlier, it may not be a bad thing, if he also won the first place in this round, and was defeated when he was most high-spirited and carried away, it would be really terrible!"
Hearing these words, Mu Qing finally came back to his senses suddenly, and the worry in his eyes disappeared, replaced by some joy for the rest of his life.
"Master, I understand, I won't lose my temper because of Xiao Zuo's affairs again." Mu Qing took one last look at Zuo Mingqiu, then turned around, walked up to Lao Dao with a calm and complicated face, and saluted respectfully, "Disciple only then understands that it is I who has the inner demon. ”
Mu Qing bowed his head, sighing infinitely in his heart, for so many years, in order to prevent Zuo Mingqiu from repeating the mistakes of the Holy Son of Nangong, he never taught others the truth that there are people outside the world, let alone let Zuo Mingqiu challenge the major clans at will.
What I'm afraid of is that one day, another Ji Chang will appear out of thin air, shatter his Dao heart, and become a madman.
But the more he is like this, the more Zuo Mingqiu wants to prove himself, he is not Nangong Taiyi, and he will not be defeated by anyone who suddenly appears, so he insists on accepting the challenge of the people in the world, and he has a reputation as the first in the world.
And now, he is finally not the first.
Xu Mu is above him.
Just like when Nangong lost to Ji Chang, Zuo Mingqiu was also at this moment, his heart surged with infinite unwillingness and disbelief, his heart trembled, he was pushed down the holy ladder, fell on the holy platform, and was seriously injured.
But fortunately, Xu Mu is not Ji Chang, he doesn't have such exaggerated abilities that attract hatred, and he didn't defeat Zuo Mingqiu with his own hands.
So the latter was not so seriously injured, the Dao heart was not broken, and even calmed down quickly, because he was Zuo Mingqiu.
After all, he is the first in the nine heavens.
"Are you alright?"
Ji Xuansu held the scroll, helped Zuo Mingqiu up from the ground, and asked with a worried face, the two of them have been friends since childhood, although the Taoism they practice is different, but their personalities are always similar.
"It's okay." Zuo Mingqiu waved his hand, stood up alone, didn't care about the soaked blood on his clothes, looked at the dazzling Xu Mu at the top, and said helplessly, "The first place in this round belongs to that guy." ”
"You're not bad, you're ...... It's just a bit of bad luck. Ji Xuansu opened his mouth to comfort, his face was nervous, and he was afraid that something would happen to his friend's Dao heart.
"No, I'm not as good as him." Ji Xuansu shook his head and said seriously, "I also figured it out, it's because my obsession is too deep, and I want to earn the first place in everything." ”
"But the truth is, no one can be perfect in everything, give up when it's time to give up."
Zuo Mingqiu said, turned his head to look at Chen Changkong, and said seriously: "At this point, I am not as good as you." ”
When Chen Changkong heard this, his eyebrows furrowed like weeds, and he said, "I'll just treat you as if you're praising me." ”
"Of course I'm praising you, and it's not just you, I'm not as good as you, there are many people." Zuo Mingqiu said, and sat on the ground again, Daomen Zhenyi floated beside him, blowing the long hair of his robe.
He closed his eyes and went back in his head.
When he was young, he met Ji Xuansu for the first time, and the two had not officially stepped into the path of cultivation, because the sun was closer to him at the beginning of the day, or closer in the middle of the day, and they quarreled, but in the end, neither of them could win the quarrel, and until now he is still haunted by this matter, because he has traveled all over the world and has not been able to find the answer.
But Ji Xuansu had already forgotten about it.
After Zuo Mingqiu knew it at the time, he was very angry, but now that he thinks of it, he knows the true meaning.
"Those who do it lose, and those who hold it lose."
"The husband is the only one who can't fight, so the world can't fight with him."
Zuo Mingqiu closed his eyes and muttered two paragraphs in his mouth, and after Ji Xuansu heard it, his face suddenly became solemn.
But when these words were heard in the ears of Xuan Ji, it was like a book from heaven.
"What is he talking about?"
He scratched his head and asked, but no one answered him.
Because at this time, everyone, including Chen Changkong, was nervous and shocked in their eyes.
They sensed that there was an inexplicable force between heaven and earth, stirring the power, forming a cyclone, slowly falling, and injecting into Zuo Mingqiu's body.
They were nervous, shocked, because of this image, they had all experienced before.
Zuo Mingqiu, it's time to break through.
