Chapter 253: Thieves Sneak Attack
The next day, the army led by Du Huafeng began to pull out one after another. Perhaps Ouyang Jingming didn't want to be honest, and he didn't bring any trouble to Du Huafeng in terms of logistics, so he prepared a hundred cross-sea giant boats for Du Huafeng very normally, so that the disciples of the Lingying Sect led by Du Huafeng could quickly go to the place where they were fighting with the Imperial Hall.
Originally, in the Tianyuan World, the mutual conquest of the sects in the cultivation world was not the same as the ordinary martial arts battle, because the destructive power of the monks was too great, and they could not find a random place to start a war like martial arts people. There is an unspoken rule between the cultivation sects, and the chosen place of the battle must be the first battle between the two sects.
The advantage of this is not only to avoid the spread to the local sects of both sides, but also to avoid the sudden attack that will cause greater casualties on both sides. However, this is only limited to the similarity of strength between the two sides, if there is a disparity in strength, then the side with far superior strength will inevitably go directly to the opponent's garrison and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Although the Lingying Sect where Du Huafeng is located is one of the five major sects in Beihai, the Lieyutang that competes with it is also one of the five major sects, so the two sides also followed the unspoken rules of the cultivation world and did not directly raid each other.
Just when the hundred ships sailed to the place where the two sects intersected, something strange happened. A large number of low-level disciples began to have adverse reactions, some were weak, the spiritual power in their bodies could not be called, some were unconscious, and even went crazy. This kind of thing made Du Huafeng frown, it was not that he had never been here, before the official war with the Lie Imperial Hall, Ouyang Jingming had sent him here to investigate, and there was nothing strange about it, what made him unable to figure out was why these low-level disciples came here, and such a thing happened.
You must know that although these low-level disciples are not high in cultivation in his eyes, the lowest cultivation is also a monk in the foundation building period, and in the vast North Sea, they are also in the middle layer, how can such a large number of abnormalities begin to appear?
He couldn't help but wonder if there was anything unusual about these sea ships, but after surveying the sea ships where those low-level disciples lived, he didn't find anything strange. This made him feel even more uneasy: what the hell was going on? Could it be that Ouyang Jingming had made some trick that was difficult for me to discover?
He couldn't help but think hard about the solution, but what was surprising was that these disciples who were deeply involved in strange things were completely fine after a few days, and there was no abnormality at all, which made Du Huafeng frown again.
"It's a lot of weirdness, why it just happened for a while and then passed. Du Huafeng pondered in his heart for several days, but he couldn't think about the result, so he could only put it down temporarily. Anyway, he also knew that this was just a little "surprise" that Ouyang Jingming had prepared for him in advance, and the bigger "surprise" was still to come, but he didn't know when it came.
Just after Du Huafeng led the disciples to set off, Yuqing, Yu Manqiu, and He Wushi got together again, and the matters discussed were also related to Ouyang Jingming.
Yu Qingxian said: "Senior brother, junior sister, I don't know if you have discovered it recently, Ouyang Jingming's number of appearances seems to be getting less and less, is he about to break through to the god transformation stage?"
Wu Shiwan frowned and thought for a moment: "It can't be so simple, how long has he been trapped in the Transformation Period, how can it be such a coincidence, just after Senior Brother Du set off, he broke through the Transformation Spirit?
Yu Manqiu also nodded: "I have similar thoughts as Senior Brother Wu, I still know Ouyang Jingming better, if he is ready to break through to the gods, he will definitely not choose to remain silent like this, he must make a big publicity, so that his prestige in charge will be even greater." ”
Combined with Ouyang Jingming's temperament, Yu Manqiu gave such a conclusion, which made Yuqing also convinced, after all, Yu Manqiu was the closest person to Ouyang Jingming, and it must not be the same person they had never been close to.
However, Yuqing had another question: "Then junior sister, why did he live in seclusion? Recently, when our Lingying Sect was fighting with Chongxumen and Lieyutang, shouldn't he, as the head of the sect, appear more frequently to stabilize everyone's morale? Is it really as Senior Brother Wu said, what else is he secretly doing to do something?"
As soon as he heard Yuqing's meaning, he didn't believe himself, and the warrior suddenly said loudly: "Senior Sister Yuqing, do you mean that you don't believe in Senior Brother's judgment? I'm not without evidence, just take the purple jade boys around him, they have rarely appeared in the sect recently, doesn't it prove that he must be busy with other things? Even the boys are not sent out, and the matter of being busy is quite big." ”
Yu Manqiu stroked his sideburns and said lightly: "The three of us have been pondering here for a long time, but we can't come up with anything." It's better to wait quietly for him to show his feet, he will definitely not be willing to let Senior Brother Du return safely calmly, and he will see you when the time comes. However, we still have to prepare, in case Senior Brother Du sends a warning message, we have to go out to help. ”
The three of them drew up a rough plan, and they separated here and returned to their respective caves.
Before the three of them could settle down, the warning charm distributed by Du Huafeng in advance collected in his sleeve sounded, which suddenly made the brains of the three people tense: he really let himself guess the senior sister Yu.
The three of them didn't dare to slack off, secretly avoided the ears and eyes of Qin Wuyi and the others, and came to the outside of the Lingying Sect Mountain Gate to meet and set off to help Du Huafeng.
Du Huafeng never thought that he would run into trouble just half a day after he left the army. Originally, he was going to go alone to explore the place where he was fighting with the Imperial Hall, but before he could fly, he was intercepted. And the person who intercepted him was none other than Ouyang Jingming, the current head of the Lingying faction, who had been living in seclusion in the sect for many days.
The moment he saw Ouyang Jingming, Du Huafeng understood Ouyang Jingming's plan - he was going to lead himself to the front line of the battlefield, so that he could die unexpectedly, and not be suspected of being his hand, and he could also be framed in the hands of Lie Yutang.
He stopped and said lightly, "What is this doing, junior brother, why are you in such a hurry?"
Ouyang Jingming tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Senior brother is still so calm, seeing me appear here, he didn't mean to be surprised at all, it really makes the little brother admire." ”
Du Huafeng waved his sleeves: "There is no need to say superfluous words, since you have planted strange toxins in the disciples I led, so that I have to come alone, I don't think you came to tell me this, right?" It turned out that after Du Huafeng checked a lot of disciples who had strange situations, he finally found traces of poisoning on a disciple who had reached the late stage of Jindan, and this poison had different effects on the monks because of different cultivations. The higher the cultivation, the greater the impact will be, and vice versa. But what puzzled him was that this toxin did not exist in these people's bodies for a long time, but would dissipate automatically after a period of time, and it would not have much effect. But Du Huafeng didn't dare to take the risk, and was originally going to send a large number of disciples to the front line to investigate, but now he was afraid that these disciples would recur after they went out, so he had to let them stay in the cross-sea giant boat to recuperate, and he would come to investigate first. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Jingming just drew himself out of the idea, and he took a lot of trouble to appear here to intercept him.
Ouyang Jingming smiled indifferently: "What the senior brother said is not wrong, the junior brother just wants to talk to the senior brother alone, so he used some slight means, and the senior brother smiled." ”
Du Huafeng's face turned grim: "Ouyang Jingming, as the head of the Lingying Sect, why are you so ruthless to your disciples?
Ouyang Jingming's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "What is Senior Brother talking about, of course it is impossible for the junior brother to be ruthless to the disciples under him, it is nothing more than some Haiyuan grass, and there will be no future troubles." ”
"Haiyuan Grass?!" Du Huafeng's face changed, this is not an ordinary thing, but a very valuable material of the undersea demon clan, which will not be exchanged with the outside world easily, and the value is very high. But Ouyang Jingming, as a Terran monk, how did he get involved with the undersea demon clan?
Ouyang Jingming's eyelids lowered, and then he said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, you don't have to worry about others anymore, it's better to worry about yourself." Now that I've been here, you should understand that you can't go back alive. ”
Du Huafeng smiled angrily: "Hahaha, Ouyang Jingming, you are really unashamed! Although you have already completed your primordial infancy, the old man is not a weak person, and it is not so simple for you to catch the old man!"
Ouyang Jingming didn't say anything cruel, just glanced at him lightly: "Senior brother, although you are about to be promoted to Yuanying Consummation, but junior brother has not gained nothing over the years!" After saying that, the power around his body suddenly swept towards Du Huafeng, and with a "pop", it was as if some switch had been turned on, and the momentum of his body went to a higher level.
Du Huafeng's face was even more embarrassed at this moment: "You! You have always hidden your cultivation!" It turned out that at that moment just now, Ouyang Jingming's spiritual power level in Du Huafeng's eyes, which was originally like a stream, suddenly increased to the level of a big river, and the sweeping power made him have to do his best to stabilize his body.
Ouyang Jingming waved his hand: "Senior Brother Du, why are you doing this." Now that you know that I have been promoted to become a god, what other ways do you have to deal with me? What other ways can you deal with me? The gap between the god and the Yuan Infant stage is bigger than the gap between the weeds and the towering giant trees, what means can you have? Why don't you just tie your hands and arrest it, and the little brother can also entertain Senior Brother Du well. ”
Du Huafeng said sharply: "You are a duplicitous person, so you don't need to waste your tongue anymore! Others don't know what your identity is, doesn't the old man know yet? You brutalized my senior brother Ouyang, and pretended to be his identity for thousands of years, lurking in my Lingying Sect, so what happened, the old man can't guess it? Now that you have made up your mind to take the old man's life today, the old man will no longer be false to you!
Ouyang Jingming narrowed his eyes, and a cold voice came: "Oh, Senior Brother Du really knows everything! Then tell me, what is the matter with the little brother who has been in the Lingying Sect for a thousand years?"
Du Huafeng didn't even mean to pay attention to him, and directly sacrificed his magic weapon and attacked Ouyang Jingming. But Ouyang Jingming didn't even look at it, just took out a finger, and in an instant, he flicked the magic weapon attacked by Du Huafeng.
He said: "Senior Brother Du thinks that he has never fought against the Divine Transformation Monk, so don't take out such a trivial means to show ugliness, or directly use a trick, otherwise the junior brother will go all out for a while, and Senior Brother Du will have no chance." ”
He was confident that even if Du Huafeng used a trick - Heaven and Earth Breath Slash, it would be impossible to cause any harm to himself. And Du Huafeng was just as he thought, since the Qingyuan knife in his hand couldn't reach Ouyang Jingming's body, it was better to use a big move directly, if it didn't work, he could be regarded as doing his best.
But he didn't expect that when he had just gathered his strength, raised the Qingyuan Knife in his hand, and was about to use the Heaven and Earth Breath Slash, Ouyang Jingming smiled slyly and said softly: "Senior brother, you have been fooled!" Before the voice fell, he instantly came to Du Huafeng's side, and slapped Du Huafeng, who was still gathering strength, hundreds of miles away.
Du Huafeng vomited a large amount of essence blood in mid-air, and most of the spiritual power that had just been gathered was dispersed, and he almost fell into the sea.
He wiped the blood stain on his jaw: "Ouyang Jingming, I didn't expect you to be so insidious and cunning like back then!" At the beginning, Du Huafeng and Ouyang Jingming were because in a competition inside the door, Ouyang Jingming proposed that the two of them should stop at the point, but he never thought that Ouyang Jingming took advantage of Du Huafeng's unpreparedness and secretly attacked Du Huafeng, causing Du Huafeng's cultivation to have not improved in a hundred years, and his cultivation progress lagged behind him by one level, and he has not been able to catch up until now. It was precisely because of this that Du Huafeng broke with Ouyang Jingming, but there was no evidence to prove Ouyang Jingming's insidious actions, so he had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Ouyang Jingming smiled: "Senior Brother Du, now that you have been hit by my three corpse palms, if you don't take care of it well, I'm afraid your life will be delayed for a hundred years." Don't you just catch it, obediently listen to the fate of your little brother?"
Du Huafeng spat a mouthful of blood foam, and said sharply: "You thief, I am inseparable from you, how can I be caught with my hands! If I want to kill or kill you, I will not be called Du Huafeng if I frown!"
Ouyang Jingming arched his hand and said, "Then the little brother can only be offended!" The confrontation between the two was only an instant, Du Huafeng was seriously injured by Ouyang Jingming, Du Huafeng sighed in his heart: I don't know if Senior Sister Yu can still come!
Just when Ouyang Jingming was about to step forward to restrain Du Huafeng, a brocade suddenly came from behind him, and there were several golden metal filaments hanging on the brocade, which was Yu Manqiu's personal magic weapon.
