Chapter Seventy-One: A Change in Difficulty (Part II)

Xie Xuan'an said it clearly to He Zhi. He was born with perfection back then, his fame was amazing, and he was born in a family, so he was one of the upper cores of the Martial Saint Realm. However, in the martial arts in front of the emperor, once it was found that there was no bloodline, he immediately encountered a strong man whose realm far exceeded his own and could not be defeated at all.

This is no accident!

Now He Zhi has been tested to have no blood, but he has not encountered even a worthy opponent from beginning to end.

Could this kind of preferential treatment be the result of taking advantage of Gongsun Wuji's identity? He Zhi wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered, his expression uncertain.

If it weren't for Gongsun Wuji's help and joining the imperial martial arts in another way, would they, who have no blood, encounter strong resistance like Xie Xuan'an? This resistance is likely to come from the Northern Wei Dynasty itself!

Even if the other party underestimated He Zhi's strength and let He Zhi pass the first few levels, the difficulty in the back will only get bigger and bigger! It is even possible that once they win too much and go too far, they will alarm more big people, attract more violent blows, and provoke more terrible enemies!

At the moment when Jiang Yuetian was unable to make a move, and only He Zhi was able to fight, such a process seemed to be really difficult enough for the Qiankun Hall to be issued as a "main quest"!

But now?

With the help of Gongsun Wuji, He Zhi and the others were ridiculously simple in the process of entering the imperial martial arts and getting through the first few levels!

If from the perspective of the "infinite stream" that He Zhi knew in the past, they took such a big advantage in front and reduced the difficulty of the task to such a degree!

Quickly recalled in his mind the two tasks he heard from the Qiankun Hall when he first entered the Qiankun Palace. He Zhi affirmed this more and more.

When the Qiankun Palace announced the two tasks, they all strung together - to protect Gongsun Wuji until the end of the imperial martial arts performance, and enter the top 16 of the imperial martial arts. These two tasks themselves seem to be somewhat related, and under the circumstances at that time, He Zhi and the others, who encountered such a weird Qiankun Hall for the first time, naturally subconsciously linked these two tasks!

But in fact, are these two tasks really related to each other? This is absolutely not the case! Who said that if you enter the top 16 martial arts in front of the Imperial Palace, you must be under the command of Gongsun Wuji? Protecting Gongsun Wuji's life has nothing to do with taking refuge in Gongsun Wuji! Even if they have nothing to do with Gongsun Wuji, can't they secretly protect Gongsun Wuji?

The point of divergence in all these choices was actually at the moment when He Zhi and the others first entered the Martial Saint Realm! When Gongsun Wuji asked them if they could help and rescue Qi Liang.

If Gongsun Wuji had been rejected at that time, they and Gongsun Wuji would have had to part ways. In this way, whether it is to enter the top 16 martial arts in front of the emperor, or to protect Gongsun Wuji from death, the difficulty of the two tasks at the beginning will be greatly increased. They will also embark on a completely different path.

Now it seems that the task of He Zhi and others has been greatly reduced. They can appear by Gongsun Wuji's side at any time, and the road to performing martial arts in front of the emperor is also smooth sailing.

However, is it really good for them to be entangled with Gongsun Wuji in such a causal way? Qiankun Hall let a group of people enter the Martial Saint Realm, it is impossible to let them eat and drink and have a relaxing and happy trip to the other world!

Will the reduction of the previous difficulty lead to an explosion of subsequent difficulty?

On the way back to King Qi's mansion, He Zhi's expression was solemn, and his heart was full of doubts.

Before you know it, it's dusk. The surrounding streets were deserted.

He Zhi has long been accustomed to such a scene. When he came out in the morning, everyone regarded him as a demon and retreated one after another. It was almost dusk, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets than in the morning. He Zhi walked all the way, and he didn't see other pedestrians and didn't feel anything abnormal.

However, just as He Zhi walked into an alley where there were only the last two turns left from the Qi Palace, a burst of shouts seemed to fall from the sky.

"Adversary, suffer death!"

This alley is usually a lively flower street, the street is lined with shops, trucks, around the shops, near the trucks there are many sundries, in addition to many flower umbrellas, sunroofs, signboards, tables and chairs scattered among them, dragging out a long shadow under the sunset.

Light and shadow are intertwined, and obscurity arises spontaneously.

If He Zhizhi maintains the realm of "Tongming", he may still be able to distinguish the surroundings on this flower street with a complex environment. But He Zhi has just been impacted at this time, and he is in a state of restlessness, how can he maintain "Tongming"?

With that burst of shouting, from He Zhi's front and back, left and right, almost all masked assassins rushed out from all directions! There were a total of eight assassins, four of whom held swords, three of whom used swords, and one of whom held a two-sided serrated weapon, which made him feel murderous when he looked at it.

These eight assassins, all of whom were cultivators above the level of induction. The strongest of them is one of the swordsmen, one of the swordsmen, and the aura of the two of them is almost none, and they have obviously reached the realm of entering the Great Transformation! The remaining six people, five of them have entered the Xiaocheng, and only the person holding the Qimen weapon has a slightly scattered breath, which should be the first to enter the Hua. But his blade is different from others, and he can participate in this assassination, obviously he also has other means, and he can't be regarded as an ordinary grandmaster who has just entered the transformation realm.

The eight Assassins had all used a breath-holding secret technique beforehand to conceal their aura and hide in all corners of Flower Street. He Zhi was careless for a while, and entered the killing situation, several people jumped out from all directions, and blocked all of He Zhi's escape routes at once, leaving him in a desperate situation!

Assassination?!

At the moment when the explosion exploded in his ears, He Zhi's originally muddy mind was instantly cleared, and he was shocked, and the whole person suddenly came to his senses. The realm of "Tongming" resurfaced, and He Zhi took everything around him into his heart in an instant.

The next moment, He Zhi was secretly happy from the bottom of his heart. Fortunately, when he went out, Qi Liang had been reminded in advance! When He Zhi was on the way, he had already considered the problem of his own assassination, and even carefully considered the means of dealing with it.

Although the power used by the other party is stronger than He Zhi imagined, since He Zhi has thought about it in advance, he will not be at a loss after encountering it, and he has to think of a means to deal with it on the spot!

Many times, in the situation of life and death, the reaction can be faster by a moment, which is the difference between life and death.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, He Zhi was already running the "Fighting Method" in an instant, and the first three layers of combat power were fully opened! The assassins who leaped from all directions seemed to slow down several times in His Zhi's eyes.

Under the realm of Tongming, He Zhi immediately keenly discovered that these eight assassins were obviously not all specialized in assassination, let alone often teaming up against the enemy, and could be companions with a good heart.
