"No, they don't have the guts." Liu Mingde said hesitantly.

"The aura is about to recover, and the immortal cultivation sects across the country are frantically hoarding spirit stones to increase their strength, nothing is impossible." Jiang Chengyun groaned and said: "In this battle, you must be prepared to fight to the death, if you can't win, you must exit and surrender in time to preserve your strength." ”

As soon as these words came out, a group of Shumen disciples were all unhappy, and they all shouted: "There are no disciples in Shumen who surrendered, only disciples who died in battle!" ”

"If we are afraid of death, we will not cultivate!" Liu Mingyi also roared: "The sect master must not increase the morale of others, even if it is a battle at the same level, the disciples of Shumen will never surrender." ”

"It's all good." Jiang Chengyun nodded with satisfaction and said, "But if it involves life and death, you must also know how to advance and retreat, I will take you to dig out more spirit stones to increase your strength, and it doesn't have to be shorter than a short time." ”

"This is a battle of honor in Shumen, how can you not care about it?" Some disciples are still reluctant, they are all monks, since ancient times, they have been proud of the death of the sect, and they are full of blood.

Of course, Jiang Chengchan is not afraid, a few months ago, he was not a monk, he dared to swing a knife against the Toad King, he was never afraid of life and death. It's just that he finally got out of Shumen's belongings, and he was worried that he would be killed, and he was quite a bit of a poor boy who got rich.

Liu Mingde sighed and said, "However, the sect master is right, the aura is about to recover, we need to preserve our strength and wait for the time." ”

In this way, he dismissed everyone and let them recuperate for two days, waiting for the battle of the Dongxu Mansion.

Liu Mingde finally asked, "Sect Master, if we win, and the Dongxu Mansion backtracks and really kills, they have seven Qi refining masters, what should we do?" ”

Jiang Chengyun shook his head and said, "No, if they dare to do this, they will commit a big taboo, and it will break the balance between the sects and cause a big war." I think it's very likely that they will choose to act in masks for the night after the ring match, and then they will die without proof. ”

"I have already reported this matter to the headquarters, and at the cost of ten catties of spirit stones, I applied for the protection of the sect." Jiang Chengyun held his forehead and said: "Only you and I know about this matter, and I can't let the third person know, I suspect that there are internal ghosts in Shumen, otherwise the news of the spirit stone would not leak so quickly." ”

The so-called sect protection is that the headquarters will send down an absolute cultivator powerhouse to protect the subordinate sects.

Liu Mingde nodded emphatically and said, "I know." ”

Day 9, afternoon.

The sky is gloomy, there are lead clouds condensed in the barren mountains, there is a faint purple arc crossing, the wind rises between heaven and earth, the mountain cliffs and forests, shrubs and flowers are all shaking and shaking, the birds are singing, and the mountain tops are swept rapidly, this barren mountain land of ancient Shu seems to be about to usher in a storm. Jiang Chengyun was originally meditating on luck, but suddenly heard a thunderous explosion, and the heavens and the earth were mighty.

"It's weird, it's a sunny day." Jiang Chengcheng shook his mobile phone, the weather forecast clearly showed that it should be a sunny and hot day today, why was it suddenly cloudy.

He walked to the window and stared at the dark clouds in the sky, which looked much lower than normal clouds, and felt not much higher than the mountain in front of him, more like he was condensed on top of the mountain. He had a whim, if he would take a kite out and a thunderbolt would fall, it would be estimated that he could charge a lot of electricity to the Pisces Jade Pendant in his body, which would definitely be stronger than the power supply used by this family.

However, Jiang Chengchan hasn't lived enough, so let's wait until this battle is over.

He closed the curtains again and continued to meditate, and at about six o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on his door, and the man who entered the room was a handsome young man, only in his early twenties, white and clean, with a thin figure, but with an elegant air, and an ethereal posture, and a young age with the taste of fairy wind and bones.

This person was dressed in a plain black robe, and asked politely, "Is it Sect Master Jiang?" ”

Jiang Chengyun took a look and found that this person is not simple, he has a Taoist rhyme, and his every move makes people look very comfortable, it seems that this is the legendary innate body, with an ethereal breath, ethereal and close to immortals.

He smiled: "It's me, you're Brother Liu An, right?" ”

"Exactly down there." Liu An smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, looking very sunny and kind.

Jiang Chengyun explained that he sat down, and after some conversation, he learned that it was the Great Elder who fulfilled his promise and asked him to participate in tomorrow's ring battle. ”

"Seven out of thirty." Liu An replied.

Jiang Chengyun was surprised, this young man looked too young, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a college student, and he was actually a person who was about to run four, so unrealistic.

"Sect Master don't need to be surprised." Liu An said with a smile: "After a monk enters the Qi Refining Realm, he will delay his aging, and a person like me who has reached the Perfection Realm is still in the prime of life at the age of eighty. ”

He continued: "In ancient times, there were gifted prodigies who had cultivated to the perfection of Qi refining before they were ten years old, so they lived to be in their fifties and looked like an adult. ”

"Hehe, what a strange story." Jiang Chengyun asked curiously, "Is it better to cultivate the Tao as early as possible?" ”

Liu An shook his head, cultivation is indeed an important issue sooner or later, the older you are, the more innate qi is lost, the more unfavorable it is for cultivation, but this does not determine the height of cultivation, in the long run, cultivation looks at understanding and talent.

The two were talking happily, Jiang Chengchan's personal thug also returned, she was wearing a white dress today, plain clothes swaying with her slender legs, although her face was as cold as frost, at this moment, with indescribable holiness, red lips and white teeth, long hair and neck, every step is like a fairy stepping on a lotus.

Jiang Chengyun was stunned unconsciously, but Liu An's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly greeted him, and asked elegantly: "Dare to ask Miss, but you are practicing in the former cave mansion?" ”

Ling Lu glanced at him, stunned for a moment, and seemed to be aware of his unusual physique, but quickly calmed down and nodded lightly.

"Zero Dew, did you succeed?" Jiang Chengyun asked excitedly, although he couldn't sense that her cultivation had not reached the ninth layer of perfection, he could also sense that her mana was more profound.

"It worked, everything went well."

"Miss, are you really a cultivator in the former cave mansion?" Liu An was still asking, but Jiang Chengyun also heard something wrong, so he interjected: "Brother Liu is so concerned about this matter, right?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, today's thunderclouds aren't ordinary clouds." Liu An's face was solemn, he stood up and asked cautiously, "Miss, is that the legendary Heavenly Tribulation?" ”

He deduced: "When I was meditating this afternoon, I sensed a breath that surpassed the realm of Qi refining, and briefly reached the realm of opening the dust, I thought that Shumen was going to give birth to a figure that surpassed the sect master, but that breath took the initiative to contain it, and stopped at the ninth layer of the Great Perfection of Qi refining, but it was that wisp of dust-clearing breath that attracted the condensation of the Heavenly Tribulation Thundercloud, Miss, am I right?" ”

Jiang Chengyun was a little shocked, and looked at Ling Lu, he hadn't heard of the legend of the Heavenly Tribulation, since ancient times, when the monk or the mountain goblin entered a certain level, the heavens would send down thunderstorms, hindering their cultivation and preventing them from going against the sky, no wonder today's thunderclouds are so weird, it turned out to be a heavenly tribulation.

He couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that you are going to enter the realm of open dust and attract the Heavenly Tribulation?" ”

"It's me." She said: "But I'm not ready to open the dust at the moment, I don't want to step into this realm too early, I need to precipitate." ”

"No one in this world can jump directly from the eighth layer of Qi refining to the ninth layer and enter the dust." Liu An asked, "Miss, doesn't she have a seal on her body?" ”

Ling Lu was a little impatient, but seeing that Jiang Chengyu was also curious, he explained: "I reached the Qi Refining Perfection Realm a few years ago, but my cultivation was too fast, and the Dao foundation was unstable, so my mother helped me seal my cultivation, so I rebuilt from the first floor. ”

"Miss is really talented." Liu An said admiringly: "It was the most prosperous era of immortal cultivation in ancient times, and there were few monks who could attract the Heavenly Tribulation, so I didn't expect that I could see it today." ”

What he said was true, the Heavenly Tribulation was not attracted when it reached the realm of opening the dust, but it was specifically aimed at the people who rebelled against the sky, these people were gifted on the path of cultivation, and they were demons who were jealous of the heavens, so they sent down the Heavenly Tribulation to hinder their cultivation, and Ling Lu was one of them.

Liu An's expression was unsettled, still excited, and it seemed that he wanted to ask something, but Ling Lu was already impatient.

"Don't take a bite of a young lady, people call it Zero Dew." Jiang Chengcheng laughed and acted as an intermediary to introduce each other's identities to the two. After some talking, the three of them knew each other, Jiang Chengyun sat on the sofa, and said in a deep voice: "You two are now the strongest combat power in Gu Shu, and you have reached the consummation of the ninth layer of qi refining, and tomorrow you will fight with the Dongxu Mansion, you are only allowed to win, not defeat, the monk of the Tuomai loses, we still have face, if the qi refining loses, it will be considered a weak sect and an ant." ”

Liu An nodded and said, "What the sect master said is very true, I will definitely fight with all my might." ”

Needless to say, Ling Lu's current strength is a trump card, as long as it is in the territory of qi refining, almost no one can stop her.

In the next second, Jiang Chengyun sat up and said solemnly: "This time, I want to do a game, remember, although you must win, you can only win miserably, and it is ugly to win." ”

Ling Lu didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but he knew the rules, and he definitely didn't ask more than he shouldn't ask, so he nodded and agreed, Liu An saw that the atmosphere was like this, and he couldn't ask the reason, so he could only agree.

Jiang Chengyun walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Win this battle well." ”

It was not early, Jiang Chengyun dismissed everyone and asked that at five o'clock tomorrow morning, all the monks participating in the war would gather downstairs.

At midnight, Jiang Chengchan sat alone on the sofa, he didn't turn on the light, he sat there quietly, there was a burning cigarette in his hand, although it was bright and dim, but he could also see his bright eyes, revealing the depth that this age does not have, for tomorrow's battle, he was thinking, that is, a battle to the death, he should kill people, but his hands have never been stained with blood.

Also, he is eager to improve his strength, as far as the current point of view, there are more and more masters, and it is very likely that the Cave Ruins Mansion hides a dust-level master, which is an existence that can use divine power to fly to the sky, and the shot is like a divine punishment, which can destroy a building in between breaths. The first realms of human cultivation are: washing the fetus, expanding the pulse, refining qi, and removing dust.

Kaichen is already the end of the first realm, so what is the second realm?

Jiang Chengcheng snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, the energy of the Pisces Jade Pendant was exhausted, and he needed to recharge it again in case he needed it tomorrow.

He moved the TV again, pulled out the two exposed wires from behind, the moment he grabbed it, the powerful current quickly poured into his arms, but with the improvement of strength, this time he was not troubled, and knelt directly on the ground, but gritted his teeth and persevered for a while, and finally couldn't bear it, so he slowly squatted on the ground, although his body became stronger, but the current was still terrifying, and it hurt the human body cells a lot, and his saliva flowed out uncontrollably.

"Ding, the Pisces Jade Pendant is starting to recharge."

This time it is indeed much stronger than the last time, he has lasted for more than half an hour, and has not fallen, he is like a bottomless pit, frantically absorbing the current, in the depths of his eyes, a touch of green light appeared again, it is the simple and flawless Pisces jade pendant, slowly rising and falling in its depths, exuding an indescribable mystery.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the electric switch was broken, the building lost power, all the air conditioners stopped working, the emergency lights turned on, and the voltage was overloaded.

Liu Mingde rushed over and asked, "Sect Master, what's the situation, what have you done?" ”

Shumen is a land of minerals, and the power supply of the building uses oversized wires, which can theoretically supply the power supply of half the city, but it is overloaded at the moment, which is obviously not logical, he checked the electricity meter and found that the problem appeared in Jiang Chengyun's room.

He continued to ask in a bit of a daze: "Sect Master, your room, in the past few days, has actually spent more than 100,000 yuan on electricity..... You're ......"

He followed the light of the flashlight and saw Jiang Chengyun's blackened arm, and he was even more confused, and he didn't know how to speak, this is not right, if it is even electrified, such a large amount of electricity is enough to electrocute a blue whale ten times.... No, I can cook it ten times.

Jiang Chengyun slowly wiped the dark marks on his arm, walked to Liu Mingde's side step by step, and said calmly: "Just like you can see, all the electricity has been taken away by me, so the voltage is overloaded." ”

"Did you practice any evil skills?" Liu Mingde was a little frightened, for some reason, looking at the young man in front of him, thinking of the terrifying current, his scalp was a little numb, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, could it be that this guy in front of him is not a human being?

"It's not an evil act." Jiang Chengyun wiped the last trace of pitch black on his arm, and the sturdy arm was intact, revealing a delicate flesh color, because the Pisces jade pendant sucked all the energy, so his body did not leave any damage, only the pain could be felt.

He didn't intend to explain, but said lightly: "Don't ask, don't ask." Don't say what you shouldn't say. After the rumors, you don't have to mix under me in the future. ”

After Jiang Chengcheng finished speaking, he went back to his room to rest. Liu Mingde was still afraid for a while, this was a fear of the unknown, he didn't dare to think about it, he was determined to bury this matter in his stomach, even his father couldn't say it, he still had to follow Jiang Chengyun, because such a person, in this era of the end of the law, will definitely make a difference.
