Chapter 18: The Battle of the Strong
Shura on the side looked at Zhang Chen's back with some concern, and there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes.
Zhang Chen turned around with the package in his hand, and saw his worry on Shura's face. Zhang Chen patted Shura's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry. I won't do anything I'm not sure of. You can't stay any longer in this Luoxia Valley, you pack your luggage first. Then look out of the Luoxia Valley, and wait for me in the woods north of Luoxia City. If it's been two hours, I'm not here. You go back to the underworld as soon as possible and tell the two Dharma Protectors about the three major forces that are about to deal with the underworld, so that they can take precautions as soon as possible. ”
"But the Mansion Master...," Shura hurriedly said anxiously.
"This is the rule of the underworld, once you do it, it will not die. As the lord of the underworld, how can I personally break the rules I have set. Don't worry, although this Luo Tianming is powerful, I am not weak. Zhang Chen's eyes instantly became sharp.
"Subordinates obey!" Shura knew that it was useless to say anything, so he had to sigh and say goodbye to Zhang Chen resolutely said: "Mansion master, be careful in everything." Shura is waiting for you outside the city. ”
"Go ahead, don't be discovered. Zhang Chen looked at Shura with a smile and said.
Shura nodded. Without hesitation, I began to pack my luggage. Zhang Chen looked at the ghost abyss in his hand, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer, and said, "It seems that this time, we can finally fight side by side." ”
———————— my dividing line
At night, in the practice secret room of the dawn.
The whole secret room was made of cyan hemp stone, about five zhang long and more than three zhang wide, and the gloomy room was empty, except for a square table in the center and a practice table, on which there was still an oil lamp, and the flames of beans jumped from time to time, emitting a faint light.
At this time, Luo Tianming was sitting cross-legged on the practice platform, his eyes closed. Suddenly, there were several heavy knocks on the door in the silent chamber. Luo Tianming, who was sitting on the practice platform, suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold murderous aura appeared in his eyes, but soon, it was hidden again. Luo Tianming took a deep breath, and with a wave of his right hand, a powerful internal force shot out, and the huge and heavy stone door suddenly opened a crack. Seeing this, the people outside the stone gate laboriously pushed open the stone door of the secret room, and pushed this gap to the point where it could accommodate a person's body to enter and exit, only to see a person dressed as a disciple of Luoxia Valley standing in front of the door and kneeling down on one knee and saying, "Qiqi Valley Lord, Master Qian has arrived." ”
Luo Tianming quietly showed a sneer, waved his hand and said, "Please!"
The disciple hurriedly got up and made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Chen behind him. Zhang Chen smiled and nodded at the disciple, holding the Ghost Yuan Sword in his hand, and paced into the secret room. Zhang Chen remained silent, arched his hand towards Luo Tianming on the practice platform, and said, "Lord Luogu, it's polite." ”
Luo Tianming glanced at Zhang Chen, waved his hand at the disciple in front of the stone gate, and motioned for his disciple to leave. After the disciple left, Luo Tianming waved his hand and once again sent out a powerful internal force, and the powerful internal force hit the stone gate along Zhang Chen's sideburns, and the stone gate closed in response. A strand of hair on Zhang Chen's sideburns slowly fell off with the internal force, but Zhang Chen didn't move, just looked at Luo Tianming and smiled faintly. Didn't care about it in the slightest.
"Hehe, Brother Qian, I apologize for inviting Brother Qian over so late. Seeing Zhang Chen's indifferent expression to what had just happened, Luo Tianming's face changed slightly, but he immediately recovered.
"Lord Luogu is polite. Today is the birthday of the lord of the valley, and it is clear that the lord of the valley cannot withdraw from it. Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"Haha, it's still Brother Qian's generosity. I don't know what Brother Qian said, but this blade in Brother Qian's hand?" Luo Tianming looked at the long sword in Zhang Chen's hand, and his body trembled slightly. Luo Tianming was originally a person who liked to collect divine weapons, and the aura emanating from the ghost abyss in Zhang Chen's hand made Luo Tianming a little moved. There was a voice in Luo Tianming's heart at this time telling him that this sword must be a peerless divine weapon!
"Exactly!" Zhang Chen looked straight at Luo Tianming and said lightly.
Luo Tianming saw Zhang Chen's eyes and recovered instantly. He was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he would be affected by this long sword. Luo Tianming took a deep breath and said, "Actually, for this divine soldier, what I am looking forward to more is Brother Qian, if you are lucky enough to be a brother of the opposite sex with Brother Qian today." That's really the blessing of the old man. ”
Zhang Chen was slightly stunned, allowing him to think of many possibilities, but he didn't expect this Luo Tianming to say such a thing. Then Zhang Chen said with a smile: "The lord of the valley has a heart. But the two of us are not the same people. You are a well-known lord in the rivers and lakes, but you are just a businessman with a duty below. The difference in identity is huge, and I really don't dare to climb high. ”
At this time, Luo Tianming's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhang Chen with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Yes, businessman, it's just that what you do is buying people's lives." ”
Hearing Luo Tianming's words, Zhang Chen's expression was stunned for a while, and then he recovered instantly, and then said indifferently: "What does Lord Luogu mean by this? ”
Luo Tianming snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "Hehe, you have now transferred your target to my Luoxia Valley." Do you think the old man still doesn't know anything about it?
Zhang Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Luo Tianming reveal his true identity. Luo Tianming didn't pay attention to Zhang Chen, and then said: "At the birthday banquet, the mysterious man's words must have been heard by the master of Zhang's mansion completely, and the ghost abyss will be cut off from the sheath." Although the old man doesn't know where I offended your underworld in Luoxia Valley, but now that you have been bullied, if the old man is still indifferent, wouldn't it be a laugh to let friends in the rivers and lakes know!"
Now that Zhang Chen's identity has been exposed, there is nothing to hide, so he immediately shook his head helplessly, and said lightly: "You also know that my prefecture has always been adhering to the affairs of the rivers and lakes. We will not investigate who is right and who is wrong, we are just that person's money and money, and we will eliminate disasters for others. ”
"Oh, in that case, can the lord of the mansion tell the old man who wants the old man's life, and how much is the old man's life worth?" Luo Tianming said with a laugh.
Zhang Chen shrugged his shoulders, waved his hand and said: "The underworld has the rules of the underworld, we only recognize money, and we don't ask the identity of the person who entrusts it. Even if Zhang knows, presumably the lord of the valley knows it in his heart, and I won't say it. ”
At this time, Luo Tianming's eyes were gloomy and terrifying, and his voice was also very low, and he said: "Zhang Chen, don't be ignorant of current affairs! The old man is giving you a chance to tell the person who entrusted it! No matter what price he pays, the old man will pay ten times the reward! Of course, the master of the Zhang Mansion should not think that the old man is compromising, the old man just wants to be better with your prefecture." I believe that the lord of Zhang's mansion also knows that Luoxia Valley and Difu are among the best forces in the rivers and lakes, and the so-called sandpiper and clam compete for fishermen and profits. Why bother? The underworld is nothing more than seeking money, so why fight to the death. ”
Zhang Chen was expressionless and shook his head slowly. Although it was true that the underworld was for money when it was established, now the underworld has become famous in the rivers and lakes, and compared with money and fame, Zhang Chen will naturally choose the reputation of the underworld.
Seeing Zhang Chen shaking his head, Luo Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that today's events could not end well. His eyes gradually became cold. A powerful internal force also slowly overflowed from the body, and the strong coercion rushed towards Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen exuded a powerful aura when he saw Luo Tianming without saying a word, obviously wanting to give himself a dismount. Zhang Chen didn't hesitate, he inserted the Ghost Yuan Sword in his hand into his waist, clenched his fists, and a powerful internal force erupted from the dantian, and suddenly collided with Luo Tianming's breath. Suddenly, in the secret room, two strong murderous auras continued to wander. The seats in the chamber were shattered.
"Bang. ”
As the practice platform under Luo Tianming's feet shattered, it seemed to send a signal to the two of them. The two immediately put away their coercion, stepped forward quickly, and fought together.
"Netherworld Ghost Claw!" Luo Tianming jumped forward, turning his claws into claws, and the internal force in his body converged on his claws, directly taking the position of Zhang Chen's chest. In the face of Luo Tianming's attack, Zhang Chen didn't dare to have a trace of contempt, and immediately mobilized the internal force in the dantian and shouted at the same time: "Great Compassion Palm!" shot towards Luo Tianming.
"Netherworld devouring heart, Netherworld phantom!" In the confrontation with Zhang Chen, Luo Tianming also used the strongest two moves of the Netherworld Ghost Claw without the slightest reservation, and in an instant, the few palm prints in front of Luo Tianming's body were virtual and real, and it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the false.
"What a Luoxia Valley supreme martial arts, let Zhang have a good lesson today!" Zhang Chen did not retreat but advanced, the powerful internal qi on his palms was attached, and the Great Compassion palm suddenly became illusory, only to see Zhang Chen's right palm seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and in the middle of the palm, there was a faint Buddha character.
"Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust! Great Compassion Bodhi Palm!" This move is the strongest style of Zhang Chen's mastery of the Great Compassion Palm, with the appearance of this style, the sound of ten thousand Buddhas chanting suddenly appeared in the secret room, these sounds directly affect people's minds, people can't help but be in a trance, but the master has a move, life and death are often in an instant.
The sound of ten thousand Buddhas chanting appeared, and even a master like Luo Tianming couldn't help but feel in a trance, but Luo Tianming was a master who had been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades after all, and immediately bit down on the tip of his tongue. The feeling of pain suddenly made Luo Tianming, who was in a trance, recover. However, at this time, the Netherworld Ghost Claw of the Falling Sky had also collided with Zhang Chen's Great Compassion Bodhi Palm.
"Bang. ”
The two palms touched, and a dull roar suddenly sounded, and then the two of them suddenly exploded around them, and Zhang Chen and Luo Tianming took a few steps back and looked at each other. At this time, Luo Tianming couldn't help frowning, because when his palms were facing each other just now, he obviously felt that his internal force was not exhausted, and his palms were now slightly numb and shaking, obviously he fell into a disadvantage in the first game. After a short period of internal force repair, Luo Tianming felt a little better.
At this time, Zhang Chen also had a dignified face, and Zhang Chen knew the power of the Great Compassion Bodhi Palm. But such a powerful force only made Luo Tianming's palm numb, which made Zhang Chen a little unacceptable. It seems that if you don't use your real strength today, I'm afraid things will really not end well. But the palm just now also consumed a lot of internal force in Zhang Chen's body, so Zhang Chen had a premonition of uneasiness.
At this time, Luo Tianming also completely recovered, and the two raised their heads at the same time, looking at each other. The eyes of the two were full of caution towards each other, but the fighting spirit of the two was becoming more and more intense.
