Chapter 102: The Battle Begins
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
Hearing that Sanren Ning Dodge was coming, there was an uproar around him. Then, it quickly fell silent again.
After all, the name of Sanren Ning Dodge is not obtained by virtue of age, but through decades of bloody battles.
As the only great master in the Central Plains in the past 100 years, he has dominated the world for decades, and his prestige is so heavy that people can talk about it.
Even if Ning Daoqi has been looking for land and cultivating for many years, and has rarely moved around the rivers and lakes, no one dares to despise the name of the great grandmaster.
You Chuhong and Likong are naturally very familiar with Ning Daoqi, and the younger generation did not know that it was actually this world-famous grandmaster until someone shouted Ning Daoqi's name.
It's no wonder that this person was able to perform so many incredible feats, and the cultivation realm of the Great Grandmaster was really extraordinary.
Only then did everyone understand that it was no wonder that Buddhism dared to agree to this gambling fight with Zhao Mingyuan, and Shi Fei Xuan even dared to boast that Haikou was betting on herself.
It turns out that there is a hole card of Ning Dodge, which can guarantee victory.
Ning Daoqi had already come forward, and listening to his tone, it was obvious that he wanted to make a move.
I didn't expect there to be such a change in this gambling fight, Buddhism really spared no cost in order to deal with Zhao Mingyuan, it seems that Buddhism really hates Zhao Mingyuan.
Now that Ning Daoqi is about to make a move, the group naturally agrees that Zhao Mingyuan has no chance of winning, and this battle is lost.
Even if Zhao Mingyuan can be said to be invincible under the Great Grandmaster, if he really faces the Great Grandmaster, I am afraid that the only option is to be captured, and even if he runs away, he may not be able to escape.
Although almost no one present was optimistic about Zhao Mingyuan, there were still a few people who thought that Zhao Mingyuan might be able to escape if he tried his best, while Ning Daoqi might not be able to pursue because of his face.
After all, it was shameful enough to bully a young man in his twenties with the cultivation realm of a great grandmaster. If he pursued Zhao Mingyuan in front of so many people, where was the majesty of the Great Grandmaster?
Therefore, in the eyes of You Chuhong and Chao Gongcuo, Zhao Mingyuan seems to have a glimmer of life.
It's just that Zhao Mingyuan may not be able to grasp all this vitality.
What's more, even if Zhao Mingyuan really grasps this line of vitality, it may not be a good thing.
escaped from the battle, even if Zhao Mingyuan successfully survived, this incident would turn into a demon in his heart and haunt him forever.
The martial arts of the Tang world are extremely particular about the state of mind. If you are in an excellent state of mind, then not only can you progress quickly in martial arts, but you will also have an advantage when fighting, and it is extremely common to fight beyond the ranks.
The protagonists Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have defeated the strong many times because of this, and they have won many times.
Of course, this does not mean that a warrior cannot be defeated or escaped, otherwise it will affect his state of mind.
Although martial artists have always paid attention to preferring death to the unyielding, even if they encounter a strong enemy, they must have the courage to draw their swords. But when everyone is weak, who can guarantee that they will win every battle?
As long as it doesn't lose too badly, leaving a terrifying psychological shadow, it's generally not a big deal.
After all, it is a rare courage for the weak to dare to fight with the strong, and it is still required to win, isn't that embarrassing?
In fact, if you fight the weak against the strong, even if you are defeated, your general mood will not have much impact.
Unless it is too miserable to lose, or the other party has left an invincible psychological shadow in the state of mind.
Just like Qu Ao and Chao Gongcuo, since they were defeated by the hands of the Great Grandmaster, they have had demons in their hearts since then, and they have been in a slump, and it has been rare to make an inch of progress for decades, and there is even the possibility of falling into the realm.
Of course, it was because they thought very highly of themselves, thinking that they were at the same level as the Great Grandmaster, but they were easily solved by the opponent in the battle of the same level, and they lost too miserably, so they were broken.
But now, although the strength of the two is obvious, if they flee without a fight, it is very easy to be frustrated, and they have been slumped ever since.
After all, since Zhao Mingyuan debuted, he has won many battles and has never been defeated. If you run away without a fight at this time, and if you want to improve in the martial arts in the future, it will be difficult.
But if you don't run away and stay and fight with Ning Daoqi, although your mood will not be broken, but if you are imprisoned by Buddhism after defeat, the result will not be much better.
In short, it seems that no matter how he chooses, Zhao Mingyuan seems to have only one way to defeat.
Buddhism is trying to completely strangle Zhao Mingyuan, a genius who has reached the grandmaster level in his twenties, so as to eliminate the possibility of him breaking through the great grandmaster.
In that case, even if Zhao Mingyuan really succeeded in escaping, his strength would be greatly reduced, his prestige would be greatly reduced, and he would no longer be in trouble.
But everyone saw that Zhao Mingyuan knew about this, but he didn't have the slightest intention of fleeing.
Everyone knows that before the fight, if Zhao Mingyuan escapes with all his might, there is still the possibility of escaping. It's almost impossible to really wait for the defeat after the fight and then try to escape.
And now, Zhao Mingyuan obviously has no intention of escaping, which shows that he has made up his mind and will never back down.
It seems that today is the end of Zhao Mingyuan, even if Ning Daoqi's men show mercy and throw themselves to Buddhism after the defeat, there will be no good results.
However, since Zhao Mingyuan stayed and did not escape, he obviously would not choose that.
Probably he would rather die in battle, at least in the battle with the Great Grandmaster, wisely.
The heroes all sighed, poor Zhao Mingyuan prospered because of luck, and now he has also died because his luck has been exhausted.
In the face of a great master like Ning Daoqi, even You Chuhong and the others, who originally believed that Zhao Mingyuan could escape this catastrophe, couldn't help but waver.
In front of them, whether it was a group of heroes or Buddhists, they all thought that Zhao Mingyuan was bound to lose this battle. But only Ning Daoqi had a strange feeling in his heart, and looked at Zhao Mingyuan standing on the Tianjin Bridge.
It's just that even if Zhao Mingyuan saw him appear and understood that the opponent in this battle was him, his face remained calm. It seemed that these situations were all expected by him, and there was even a hint on his face that finally appeared, and it was indeed so.
Could it be that Zhao Mingyuan still has any back-up, or does he firmly believe that his strength is strong enough, even in the face of the Great Grandmaster.
Ning Daoqi stared at Zhao Mingyuan, even if he looked up from the bottom up, he didn't have any sense of looking up.
After a while, Ning Daoqi suddenly spoke: "Zhao Xiaoyou's body is full of Dao power, which obviously shows that the exercises you are cultivating are also from the Dao Sect.
It's just that the old Tao has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, but he has never seen the true recipe of the Dao Sect that can be comparable to the exercises practiced by Zhao Xiaoyou.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoyou's true qi full of vitality, only the legendary longevity recipe matches it.
Could it be that Zhao Xiaoyou's cultivation method is the immortal formula that no one has ever been able to cultivate successfully in the past thousand years? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was naturally shocked.
The Recipe for Immortality is one of the four great books in the world, and it is still ranked above the Cihang Sword Code and the Heavenly Demon Strategy, and it is naturally famous, and everyone present has heard of it.
It's just that I heard that this longevity recipe is a Taoist treasure, and although it has been passed down for thousands of years, no one has ever been able to practice it.
I don't know how many sages of the Dao Sect have specialized in this skill, but none of them have been able to practice the martial arts of the longevity technique.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyuan actually practiced.
For a while, everyone couldn't help but secretly think, it seems that this Zhao Mingyuan is really lucky, not only has he obtained the treasure house of Heshi Bi and Yang Gong, but even the exercises that no one has been able to practice for thousands of years can actually practice, and his luck is indeed shocking.
It seems that the last luck can be compared to it, and only the Yan Fei of the Shattered Void can compare with it.
Alas, it's a pity that Zhao Mingyuan has not yet grown to the peak, and he is about to meet a great master who does not care about his face and bullies the small.
It seems that Zhao Mingyuan, the son of luck, is also going to die.
Facing Ning Daoqi's inquiry, listening to him tell him that he had practiced the secret of longevity, Zhao Mingyuan naturally did not deny it.
After all, since Shi Long had obtained the news of the Immortal Formula, since it could reach Yang Guang's ears, it was not surprising that Ning Daoqi learned the news.
Moreover, the secret of longevity is the treasure of Taoism, which has been circulated in the hands of many Taoist sages, and has always attracted the attention of people in Taoism.
Anyway, this is not some unspeakable secret, Zhao Mingyuan replied directly: "Yes, this longevity secret was learned by accident, and by chance, it was indeed practiced." ”
Everyone hadn't come back to their senses in the surprise that Zhao Mingyuan had admitted to practicing such a miraculous skill, but they heard Zhao Mingyuan then say aloud: "Master Ning is the first person in the Dao Sect, and he has admired his name for a long time.
But this longevity recipe has always been known as the 'first true recipe of the Daomen'.
Now that we meet by fate, you and I will have a fight.
Just let the people of the world see who is the real number one Daomen! ”
Zhao Mingyuan was full of fighting spirit, and he stopped talking nonsense after speaking, and pulled out his sword out of the sheath with a "choking" sound, and pointed his sword at Ning Daoqi.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyuan really dared to draw his sword to the great grandmaster, and the heroes all secretly praised it in their hearts.
The Buddhist monks also hurriedly retreated, left the Tianjin Bridge, and made way for the two to fight in a circle.
Concubine Xuan originally wanted to say a few words, trying to persuade Zhao Mingyuan to surrender without a fight.
In this way, although Zhao Mingyuan lost in terms of gambling, there is no need to talk about the battle for hegemony. However, if Zhao Mingyuan is persuaded to protect the Dharma of Buddhism, coupled with the power of his subordinates, he can pacify the world more quickly and reduce the loss of life.
After the unification of the world, Zhao Mingyuan's position as a prince can also be expected, and his martial arts practice will not be cut off.
In Shi Feixuan's opinion, that is the best choice for Zhao Mingyuan, Buddhism and the people of the world.
It's a pity that when he saw Zhao Mingyuan draw his sword directly, he could know that he had made up his mind, and it was difficult to turn the matter around.
Seeing this, Concubine Shi had to sigh secretly in her heart and retreat silently.
Zhao Mingyuan and Ning Daoqi were two people, one on the Tianjin Bridge, and the other on the head of the boat under the bridge. The two looked at each other, and their momentum gradually increased.
The audience was suddenly silent, and there was no sound around, only the sound of whirring wind and gurgling water echoed each other.
Everyone stared at the two of them, not daring to blink for fear that they would miss the upcoming battle in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Mingyuan is the first person of the younger generation, and the first person under the Great Grandmaster, and now he is challenging Ning Daoqi, the veteran Grand Master. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, it will inevitably shake the rivers and lakes and even affect the trend of the situation in the world.
No one wants to miss a single ounce of this upcoming battle.
