Chapter 257: Deadwood Sword
"Xiaoyou should know that there are some unique features in my Chen family's exercises. Chen Yongzhong said: "Generally speaking, when you start practicing, your progress is very slow, and the more talented you are, the slower your progress will be, and at the first order, your combat power is extremely weak, and this is the case with Wu'er Wenhua." ”
Liang Cheng nodded, now he had found that Chen Wenhua's talent was quite good, and he was also very perceptive in battle, if it wasn't for his cultivation being too weak, he could definitely be regarded as a genius.
"Now there is a selection competition within my Chen family, and three people will be selected from the first-order disciples, as for what actions to participate in after the selection, because it is a matter of confidentiality, I won't say much. In short, this thing started about two years later, but the selection of the clan is coming soon, and this is the first time that Wu'er Wenhua is qualified to participate in the selection. According to the elders of the Chen family, this selection is carried out in a very special place, and the risk is relatively large, and this king will not hide it from you, but in this way, the strength of these first-order disciples in the clan will not be able to reach it at all, and they will only give away their heads in vain when they arrive at this place, so the clan came up with this plan for people to go instead. ”
Chen Yongzhong paused at this point, his eyes looking at Liang Cheng, as if to observe Liang Cheng's reaction and whether he was interested in this matter.
Liang Cheng said: "This means that all the children of the Chen family do not directly participate in the selection, but find someone to participate instead?"
"Yes, that's what it means. Chen Yongzhong said: "This actually means that my clan doesn't care about the life or death of those of you who participate in the selection on your behalf." There are more than 300 children of my Chen family who are eligible to participate in the competition all over the country, so there are more than 300 outsiders who participate in the selection in their place, and in the end, there are probably at most 10% of them who can come out alive. The children who survive are replaced, even if they pass the selection, so if you go, the chance of survival is at most 1 in 10. ”
After listening to Chen Yongzhong's words, Liang Cheng felt that this matter was very strange, why would he tell himself the matter and tell himself that there must be something strange in it, so he asked: "The prince just told these inside stories truthfully, is he sure that he will definitely participate in this matter?"
Chen Yongzhong smiled coldly: "This king sees that you are superior in strength and is a suitable candidate, and it is also expected that you will definitely replace Wu'er Wenhua in the competition, because you have no other choice!"
"Then what does the prince mean that if I refuse to compete in place of Wenhua, you will use the strong on me?
Chen Yongzhong's face remained unchanged, he smiled slightly, and said: "This king's coercion of you this time is due to some cause and effect, so it is not considered a bully, and there is no uneasiness in my heart. After finishing speaking, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed Liang Cheng's ribs with two fingers.
Liang Cheng was shocked, he didn't expect Chen Yongzhong to do it like this, although he wanted to struggle, but he didn't have the slightest power to parry in front of the great monk in the late Yuan Infant period, so he had to resign himself to fate, because his whole body was suppressed by the other party's realm, and he couldn't move at all, even if he wanted to self-detonate, it was impossible, not to mention that self-explosion was never Liang Cheng's option.
The strange thing is that Chen Yongzhong did not hold Liang Cheng hostage, but reached out to scratch the clothes and skin between his ribs, and then held a similar embroidery needle with two fingers
thing, and then gently pulled this thing out of Liang Cheng's ribs.
Liang Cheng felt a sharp pain under his ribs, as if Chen Yongzhong pulled out not an embroidery needle, but a sharp sword, at this time Liang Cheng was also a little strange in his heart, and couldn't figure out how there could be such a thing between his ribs.
Chen Yongzhong held the embroidery needle, there seemed to be some sighing in his eyes, and then shook his hand slightly, and the embroidery needle suddenly turned into a strange sword like a dead branch, and I saw that the tip of the sword was still flashing with cold light.
"Yin Jiu's deadwood sword was given to him by this king, no wonder there is no news of him anymore, it seems that he has died in the line of duty, alas! What a pity...... Chen Yongzhong sighed softly.
"You...... How do you know about Yin Jiu!Who are you!" Liang Cheng was really shocked at this moment.
"This king is naturally Chen Yongzhong, the loyal king of Beizhang Kingdom, who else will it be? Do you still have any doubts about this?" Chen Yongzhong said slowly: "As for knowing this...... That's because Yin Jiu is one of the most powerful killers under the command of this king, and this mission, this king personally named and sent him, well, also, you should have killed a few of this king's subordinates in the Hulan grassland, and you also wanted to search for their souls, so this king sent Yin Jiu to deal with you, and judging from the results, he also missed. Since you have killed so many of this king's men, isn't it reasonable for me to kill you now to help them avenge them?"
Chen Yongzhong looked at the deadwood sword in his hand again and sighed: "Yin Jiu, Yin Jiu, although you are dead, you have not forgotten to leave a mark on your opponent, and you can be regarded as living up to the teachings of this king. ”
Liang Cheng then remembered that before the mirage illusion collapsed, Yin Jiu's sword was inserted in his ribs, and he didn't know what technique he used when he was dying, but he turned the deadwood sword into an embroidery needle and pierced it next to his ribs, and it was strange that he didn't feel any discomfort.
At that time, the illusion was quickly shattered, and a lot of things that followed attracted all of his attention, and finally he completely forgot that he had been hit by the sword, and he didn't take what happened in the illusion seriously afterwards, but in the days that followed, Yin Jiu's sword was always inserted in the ribs, walking the rivers and lakes without knowing it.
Liang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, although he was very careful and had already dealt with all the things that should be disposed of, he didn't expect that there would be such an obvious mark on his body, and finally fell into the hands of the Shadow Pavilion, could this be a catastrophe.
At this time, Chen Yongzhong spoke again: "You killed this king's subordinates, and you should have been executed immediately, but you saved this king's son, and this favor is owed to you by this king after all." Therefore, for the sake of now, you can avoid being executed, but you must agree to the king's conditions to help Wenhua qualify for selection. ”
"Okay! I promise!" Liang Cheng agreed to Chen Yongzhong's request almost without hesitation, because there is really no second way to go, and as long as he can agree, there is a little possibility of negotiating conditions, and even if he arrives in that place, he can also be divided into two, and the demon body has the ability to transform into faces, so he can at least have a chance to ensure that his demon body can survive.
Chen Yongzhong saw that Liang Cheng agreed, so he untied his control and said: "Those who know the times are Junjie, and this choice of Yuyang Xiaoyou is undoubtedly wise. ”
"Lord Wang, then how can I believe that after I complete the task, I can have a way to survive instead of being crossed the river and the bridge is demolished? Also, the Yuyang faction should not be implicated by what I did alone, if I can't figure it out, I'm afraid it will affect the performance, in that case, it will not be good to delay the selection of Wenhua. Liang Cheng asked.
"Hehe, Yuyang Xiaoyou is really good at talking, are you really worried about Wenhua's selection? Okay! In order to prevent your cranky thoughts from affecting the selection, this king made a demon oath, as long as you can help Wenhua complete the selection, this king will never embarrass you and your insignificant Yuyang faction!"
"It's just not embarrassing, but it's not quite in line with the identity of the prince, as the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, so shouldn't there be a reward...... Liang Cheng added.
Chen Yongzhong looked at Liang Cheng, and secretly admired the kid in front of him in his heart, this guy was a little low-level monk, but in the face of a great monk like himself, he could still talk eloquently and seek benefits, which was enough. This is really reaching out in a coffin, and dying for money. But in this way, the last doubt in Chen Yong's center was dispelled.
"Okay, as long as you can help Wu'er Wenhua complete the selection, this king will reward you with 20 million high-grade spirit stones, now give you 2 million as a fixed money, and the other 18 million will wait for you to help Wenhua get the qualification." In addition, the king also allows you to take all the gains you have gained in the mission, and it is said that the place is very oily. After finishing speaking, Chen Yongzhong solemnly made a demon oath.
"A word is a certainty! Wenhua's qualification for this selection, I, Li Yuyang, will definitely do my best to win it for him!" Liang Cheng said after putting the two million high-grade spirit stones into the storage bracelet.
"Well, remember, it's your only way to live. Also, you've been marked by me, so don't try to run away, or you'll look bad. Chen Yongzhong added.
"No, I'm not going to do that kind of futile thing. ”
Chen Yongzhong nodded, stretched out his hand and handed Liang Cheng a jade slip: "After you go back, you can explain everything at hand, and then follow the content of the jade slip, note that the content of this jade slip will be destroyed after reading, so you can read it slowly after you go back." ”
After speaking, Chen Yongzhong turned around and walked out of the cabin, came to the deck and chatted with Chen Wenhua casually, then rose to the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
Chen Wenhua and Wei Zhilan returned to the cabin, and after sitting down, he asked Liang Cheng with a smile: "What did my father tell you quietly? ”
Liang Cheng looked at Chen Wenhua's smiling and soft face, and smiled slightly: "Since it is a secret talk, I must keep it secret from the prince, so I can't say it." ”
"If you don't say it, don't say it, what's rare, wait until I go back to the house and ask my father to go." Chen Wenhua looked indifferent.
Liang Cheng glanced at him, thinking that the Chen family's method was really peculiar, when he was in the first order, not only was his combat strength weak, his cultivation was very low, but even his thoughts were very simple, I don't know what kind of changes will happen to the whole person if a genius like Chen Wenhua is successfully promoted to the second order in the next one or two years, and at that time he will still be the carefree and completely inorganic Chen Xiaopang in front of him?
