The chess master said with a smile. ”

Regarding Zhang Tianxue's seemingly flattering words, Li Yunsheng sneered.

"What did Yunsheng Xiaoyou say?"

Zhang Tianxue put down his bloody hands and folded them under his abdomen, with a faint smile on his face.

"Seniors should know better than anyone else that in order to kill me, you and the Immortal Alliance, and even Yan Prison, have spared no effort. I'm only alive because you can't kill me, that's all. ”

Li Yunsheng stated expressionlessly.

After speaking, the amber sword in his hand groaned softly, and the sword light was like a small column of water full of golden light, cutting a hole in the invisible barrier in front of the Bodhi tree.

The branches of the Bodhi tree were immediately swept backwards as if they were being blown by a strong wind, and the relics on the tree were also blown to the ground.

"Today's young people, for an old man, can bear to put such a heavy hand. ”

Zhang Tianxue smiled bitterly.

As he spoke, he raised his bloody hands again, and black rings engraved with tiny runes came out of the flesh of his fingers. Except for the index finger of his right hand, each finger of his hands was covered with such an identical ring.

At the moment when these rings appeared, Li Yunsheng cut an invisible barrier and closed it again.

However, just as the barrier was closed, the black ring on Zhang Tianxue's left index finger, along with his index finger, burst together.

"It's a terrible swordsmanship. ”

Zhang Tianxue looked at his severed index finger and sighed.

"My Xuanwu ring, there is a Xuanwu Turtle and Snake Formation in each ring, which can resist all magic attacks, even the most powerful sword cultivation, but this was originally used to deal with Xu Honghu, I thought it would be useless, but I didn't expect it to be used in the end. ”

He said with emotion.

"Tell me so much, are you trying to persuade me to give up?"

Li Yunsheng put the amber back into the sheath, but the hand pressed on the hilt of the sword had no direction, and a little condensed sword momentum formed a huge aura vortex behind him, and the mountain and sea sword intent was dormant in his divine consciousness, and the scene of the sixth layer of the golden dome at this moment was like the eve of a storm.

"As you must have guessed, once the relics on this Bodhi tree are ripe, you will have no chance of winning. ”

Zhang Tianxue did not deny it, he then glanced at the Xuanwu ring on his finger, and then continued:

"And I still have eight rings on my hand, even if your sword is as sharp as Xu Honghu, it will take at least eight swords to destroy this Bodhi tree behind me, but by then my relics must have fully matured. ”

"Since you are so sure, why do you want to persuade me to give up?

Li Yunsheng asked.

"I persuaded you, not because I was afraid of you, but because I needed a sharp sword like you to meet the next prosperity of the gods in the ten states. ”

Zhang Tianxue opened his arms, and his expression was extremely heroic.

"Gods?"

Hearing this word, Li Yunsheng frowned.

"The ignorant ancients called them strangers from the sky. ”

Zhang Tianxue then explained.

"Sure enough, this Heavenly Choice, like the City Lord of Sleepless City, knows that the alien from the sky is about to descend on the Ten States. ”

After hearing the words "stranger from the sky" in Zhang Tianxue's mouth, Li Yunsheng thought in his heart.

"When did you find out about this stranger?"

Li Yunsheng asked.

"A long time ago, before Yu Xuzi was driven crazy by that false Heavenly Gate, I was the only one in these ten states who knew the exact existence of this strange stranger outside the sky. ”

Zhang Tianxue seemed to be trying to show his sincerity in front of Li Yunsheng, so he didn't hide it.

"So you also know the reason why there will be aliens in the ten states?"

Li Yunsheng then asked.

"Of course. ”

Zhang Tianxue replied in the affirmative.

"If you will become obedient to me, I will tell you all this. ”

He then seduced Li Yunsheng.

Li Yunsheng shook his head, then frowned and said:

"The arrival of a stranger from outside the sky will only be a disaster for the ten states, and it will be enough to destroy the ten states. ”

"It seems that you know a lot about the stranger from outside the world. ”

Zhang Tianxue smiled when he heard this, and then continued:

"There are things that if you just look at it from the side you are familiar with, you will always get a one-sided result.

"It's like now, from the standpoint of the cultivators of the Ten States, the arrival of a stranger from outside the world is a bad thing.

"But if you look at it from the perspective of the Nine Heavens Star, you will find that this is the best way for us low-level cultivators to directly jump through the Heavenly Gate and contact the world above, and we can get more powerful exercises from them and get ......."

"So even though you know the cause and effect of all this, you still choose to surrender?"

Li Yunsheng interrupted Zhang Tianxue.

"If you see all of this and see how strong they really are, you'd make the same choice as me. ”

Zhang Tianxue's face gradually turned cold:

"Compromise is not weakness, it is the survival of the weak that must be learned. ”

Although Zhang Tianxue did not tell everything about the stranger outside the sky, Li Yunsheng had already guessed a seven, seven, eighty, eight or eight at the moment, and even the Bodhi tree behind him, he already roughly knew what Zhang Tianxue was doing with it.

"It's your choice, beyond reproach. ”

Li Yunsheng thought for a moment and then said:

"But this is a little different from my previous conjecture in my heart, about the existence of aliens outside the sky, I learned from the mouth of the Dragon Emperor, which also happened to solve a lot of confusion in my heart.

For example, my uncle Zu Yu Xuzi, I originally thought that he was frightened crazy by the Heavenly Dao, but now I know that everything he did was to deal with the strangers who were about to arrive outside the world, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to give up his cultivation, his body, and his family. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhang Tianxue again:

"I thought you were the same, with the infamy of being spurned by the monks of the Ten States, destroying Qiushui, destroying the sect, and gathering the cultivators of the Ten States under the control of the Immortal Alliance, just to compete with the aliens who were about to descend from the heavens.

"Because of this, although I have a common enmity with you, this does not prevent me from having a trace of respect for you in my heart.

"But now it seems that I was wrong. All you do is to make yourself a dog that can please your owner. ”

He said in a calm tone with a hint of disappointment.

"At the beginning, I really wanted to do that, and I was just like the people in the Jade Xuzi and the Guillotine Alliance, full of enthusiasm, and I was bound to be as short as these strangers outside the world. Who wants to be a dog if they can?"

Zhang Tianxue smiled faintly again, and then continued:

"But after really seeing their power, I felt not only the instinctive fear of being an ant, but also the infinite longing for this power, and then I figured out, as long as I can have this power, what is it to be a dog for hundreds of years in this long river of years?"

When he spoke, there was no unnaturalness on his face, it was completely heartfelt.

"I haven't seen strangers, so I'm not sure what choice I'll make after seeing their power, but I'm sure that even if I didn't, I wouldn't be a dog at their feet. ”

Li Yunsheng did not reprimand or judge Zhang Tianxue's words, but said his thoughts very seriously.

As he said this, his hand holding the hilt of the amber sword suddenly jerked hard, and then as he drew his sword, he said:

"And I think you underestimated Qiushui's sword, and also underestimated the cultivators of the Ten States. ”

As soon as the words fell, a sword roar sounded, and the storm that had been accumulated for a long time began to explode in this sixth layer of golden domes.

"Seventh form, mayfly. ”

In the midst of the roaring storm, an extremely thin sword light slammed into the invisible Xuanwu turtle and snake array in front of the Bodhi tree like an embroidery needle.

This seemingly extremely weak sword light effortlessly dispersed the Xuanwu Turtle and Snake Formation, and the formation's unique blue-gray halo flickered for a while and then disappeared directly.

However, Zhang Tianxue was extremely calm, and the other seven rings in his hand lit up together, and seven blue-gray invisible walls appeared one after another.

But what made Zhang Tianxuan miscalculate was that the seven turtle and snake formations that lit up one after another were scattered by that sword light in just an instant.

The seven rings on Zhang Tianxue's hand exploded together, and all ten fingers were broken.

The Bodhi Tree no longer appeared under Li Yun's sword without any hindrance.

It's just that when he raised his sword again and was about to cut off the Bodhi tree with one sword, a golden relic fruit on the tree fell from the tree at this time, just in front of him.
