Chapter 410: The Decisive Battle of the Tai Academy (1)
After the outbreak of the war, Baining only shot once, that is, when he captured Tai Academy. The battle was fought in the dark, the ghosts cried and howled, the great elder of Tianming and the old child and others died one after another, although Baining took the Tai Academy, but also paid a heavy price, was seriously injured, and immediately retreated after returning, and has not been heard from since. It wasn't until Zhang Ziliang came to the Snow Country that he brought the news of "Baining's exit" to Xia Yu.
In the Snow Country Palace, after listening to Zhang Ziliang, Xia Yu didn't say anything, leaned his head on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
This day has finally come, and Xia Yu knows that sooner or later he and Baining will have a fight, which cannot be escaped. However, Xia Yu is also a human being, and he will be afraid, but he is not afraid of death, he is afraid that after he dies, what will Wan'er and Xia Xue do? This battle is not only about his own life and death, but also about the fate of people in the world!
Zhang Ziliang and Wan'er were also silent, and the two of them looked at Xia Yu quietly, waiting for Xia Yu to make a decision. Time passed minute by minute, the huge palace was silent, and the world seemed to freeze at this moment.
After a long time, Xia Yu let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes. "It's time to wrap it up. β
"Brother!" Wan'er called out in a deep voice, looking at Xia Yu suspiciously.
Xia Yu looked at Wan'er and Zhang Ziliang, her eyes were extremely firm: "I have made a decision, I want to challenge Baining!
After Wan'er and Zhang Ziliang heard this, they were taken aback at first, with a surprised expression on their faces. But then, the two of them immediately calmed down again, it should be said that they had already guessed this result, if Xia Yu didn't decide so, then he wouldn't be Xia Yu.
"Wan'er, go get a pen and paper. I'm going to give Baining the next challenge. Xia Yu had a smile on his face, once he decided, Xia Yu felt a little more relaxed.
"Hmm!" Wan'er immediately stood up and trotted to find paper and pen for Brother Yu. There is no burden or doubt in her heart, as long as it is a decision made by Brother Yu, she resolutely supports it. But. Not everyone believes in Xia Yu unconditionally like Wan'er, and Zhang Ziliang's heart is a little drumming.
Zhang Ziliang crossed his hands in front of his chest, groaned for a while, and finally decided to ask: "Xia Yu, if you want to challenge Baining, what are the chances of winning?"
Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Less than fifty percent." β
"Huh?" Zhang Ziliang patted his head weakly, "It's over, I'm on the thief ship." Is it too late to disembark?"
Xia Yu laughed: "Want to leave, it's too late!"
Wan'er took the pen and ink, Xia Yu waved her pen, and in a few seconds, a challenge book was completed in one fell swoop. The first half of the challenge book is basically some clichΓ©s that have to be said, what the world is withering, and the people are suffering. It was only in the second half that I officially cut into the topic, what I have admired Mr. for a long time, and I hope to compete with Mr. ...... The translation is: Lao Tzu has been unhappy with you for a long time. Come on, come on, do you have the guts? Let's make an appointment to go head-to-head!
After writing. Xia Yu handed over the "challenge book" to Zhang Ziliang: "Ziliang, please give this challenge letter to Baining, you are also familiar with the road." β
Zhang Ziliang reluctantly took the challenge book, and looked at Xia Yu pitifully: "Aren't you worried that Baining will detain me?"
Xia Yu smiled and was very sure: "If the two armies don't fight, he won't." β
"Okay, okay. Zhang Ziliang shook his head helplessly. Stood up: "Who let me get on your thief ship? Zhang Ziliang gave up his hand to Xia Yu and Wan'er. "Then I'm going to go. β
Xia Yu nodded: "Okay, go early and come back early." β
........................
Although Bai Ning successfully got out of the customs and the old injuries on his body had been healed, his mood was not very good, and it could even be said that it was very bad. Because of this retreat, his cultivation has not yet improved at all. Bai Ning's cultivation has reached the top of the semi-immortal realm, and further up, it is the legendary "immortal", but after so many years, Bai Ning's cultivation has been stagnant, he feels like there is an invisible barrier on his head, no matter how hard he tries, he can't break this barrier. Even if he got half a volume of "The Law of Ascension to Immortals" from the Land of the Living Dead, but after all, it was only half a volume, and Bai Ning went back to practice for a period of time according to the half-volume "Law of Ascension to Immortals", but not only did his cultivation not progress, but he almost went mad. Now as long as he thinks of the half volume of "The Law of Ascension to Immortals", Bai Ning hates itchy, if it wasn't for Xia Yu's obstruction, he would definitely be able to get a complete "Method of Ascension to Immortals", and now he may have become an immortal.
As soon as Baining came out of the customs, he got the bad news of "Zheng Guo was destroyed" and "Snow Country changed banners", although Baining was taken aback, he was not very worried. In fact, he didn't regard Snow Country and Zheng Guo as allies at the beginning, he just used them, Baining's ambition was to destroy all the countries and forces in this world, he wanted to dominate the world!
For Xia Yu's promotion to half immortal, Bai Ning was not surprised. Not surprised, because Bai Ning had long seen Xia Yu's potential, and he knew that Xia Yu would become a half-immortal one day sooner or later. I was surprised, because Bai Ning didn't guess that Xia Yu's progress was so fast, it only took three years for Xia Yu to enter the half-immortal from the Great Yuan Realm, even Bai Ning, who was called an immortal at the time, took a full ten years to break through this barrier. For the first time, Bai Ning sensed a threat from Xia Yu's body.
"I can't let him continue to grow, Xia Yu is a big problem, and he must be eliminated as soon as possible!" In the palace of the Hundred Ghost Country, after getting the news that Xia Yu was promoted to a half-immortal and killed Xue Jing, Bai Ning was silent for a long time and said such a sentence.
"Do you want me to kill him?" Baili stood beside Baining, his face cold.
"You, now you're probably no match for him. Bai Ning shook his head, "To deal with Xia Yu, I can only do it myself." Then he thought for a moment, and a sinister smile gradually appeared on his face, apparently thinking of some trick. "Baili, go get pen and ink. β
"Yes. Baili replied, and after a while, he took pen and ink.
Bai Ning took it, picked up the brush, and began to write on the white paper. "I'm going to give Xia Yu a letter and ask him to fight!
Baili's face changed slightly, and he was a little surprised by Baining's approach: "Will he accept Xia Yu?" An opponent stronger than himself will ask himself to fight a decisive battle, and a fool will fight.
Bai Ning was confident: "Of course he will accept it, you know, he is not only Xia Yu now, but also the king of Han, he is carrying a huge country on his back, he can't help but accept it." If he is really afraid, hehe, it means that he is not worthy of being my opponent at all, and there is nothing to be afraid of. β
After writing it, Bai Ning handed the challenge book to Baili: "You go in person, leave immediately, and hand over this letter to Xia Yu." β
"Yes, Your Majesty. "Baili turned out to be a letter, and withdrew.
........................
Coincidentally, Xia Yu and Baili both thought of giving each other a challenge book, and the two challenge letters set off from the Snow Country and the Hundred Ghost Country at the same time, and almost at the same time, they were sent to Xia Yu and Bai Ning respectively.
After Zhang Ziliang left, some time later, he arrived in the snow country for a hundred miles. The moment he received the challenge book from Baili's hand, Xia Yu was really a little crying and laughing, but he didn't expect him and Baining to think of going together. Opening the challenge book, Xia Yu directly skipped the previous nonsense and looked at the final point: Ten days later, Tai Academy will fight it out!
Xia Yu was slightly taken aback, but after thinking about it carefully, Xia Yu and Bai Ning were both students of Tai Academy, whether it was good or bad, both of them had strong feelings for Tai Academy, and Bai Ning was still Xia Yu's predecessor, so it was no wonder that Xia Yu and Bai Ning chose the duel location in Tai Academy.
Putting down the letter, Xia Yu's mood was a little heavy and a little excited, and he said to Baili: "I accept the challenge of the Hundred Ghost King!"
At the same time, in the country of hundreds of ghosts, thousands of miles away, Zhang Ziliang also met Baining.
In the main hall of the palace, Bai Ning sat on a high throne, and when he saw Zhang Ziliang standing below, he was slightly taken aback, and then showed a playful smile on his face, and said: "Oh! Who else should I be? Isn't this my favorite general, Zhang Ziliang, hehe, I haven't heard from you for a long time, are you defecting to Xia Yu now?"
When Zhang Ziliang heard this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he used to be Baining's subordinate, so he naturally knew the cruelty of Baining's methods. However, now that Zhang Ziliang is an envoy of the Han State, he naturally cannot damage the national prestige of the Han State.
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time, and I'm now on a small errand under King Han, thanks to your blessings, life is not bad. Zhang Ziliang said neither humbly nor arrogantly. "I have come this time on the orders of the King of Han to hand over a letter from the King of Han to Your Majesty. β
"Oh? Bai Ning said, thinking that Xia Yu wrote a letter to himself? What kind of fame is this? As for Zhang Ziliang...... Hmph! When Xia Yu is killed, it's not too late to settle the score.
Zhang Ziliang handed Xia Yu's letter to Bai Ning, Bai Ning opened it and looked at ten lines, and when he saw Xia Yu actually take the initiative to challenge himself, he was surprised, he couldn't help laughing happily, and stood up from the throne suddenly: "Okay! It's great! Go back and tell Xia Yu that I will wait for him in the Tai Academy!" (To be continued......
