Chapter 521: To Fight or Not to Fight
After listening to Zhang Ping's words, Xue Tao sighed, giving people a very tangled feeling.
At this interval, Zhu Xishun, who has always been low-key, also added coldly:
"Captain Zhang Ping is right! It's really embarrassing for us to run away without even trying! Senior Brother Xue, let's fight them once, right?"
Hearing what the weak Zhu Xishun said, Li Qinghai in the same group also echoed on the side:
"Yes, I also support Captain Zhang Ping! Senior Brother Xue, although our strength is weak, but there are many of us! In addition, your cultivation is not low, if you deal with one alone, and the five of us deal with two, no matter how you look at it, you have a chance of winning, right?"
After listening to the suggestion of the three-person main battle, although Xue Tao was a little shaken in his heart, he still had a strong worry on his face, and replied in a low voice:
"IāI still don't think there's much hope!And, even if, even if we really grab the fruit, but if we offend these three people because of this, I'm afraid we won't be able to live the rest of our lives......"
Xue Tao has been on the mountain for thirteen years.
In the past thirteen years, especially in the first few years when he first went up the mountain, the humiliation and oppression he received were by no means comparable to Zhang Ping, Luo Han and others.
Therefore, he was much more afraid of the disciples of the ancients than other newcomers in his bones, and his heart was full of concerns. Even if there was a possibility of victory, he did not dare to rashly oppose the ancients.
Seeing this, Zhang Ping planned to persuade a few more words. But before she could speak, she heard a short and fat man with a meaty face on the other side open his mouth impatiently:
"Xue Tao, what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and take these newcomers who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth to get away! I don't have time for you to waste here. His grandmother's, it took a day of running today to find a fruit, which is really unlucky. Fortunately, I met two at once this time. Haha, Senior Brother Lu, brother, I'm leading a good path, right?"
The Senior Brother Lu in the mouth of this short and fat man is none other than Lu Sanshuang, whom Shanhe had met in the martial arts hall before.
And this short and fat man with a sideways face and an orange martial arts suit is Shi Tong who has a grudge against the mountains and rivers.
Today, they really met them in the competition, which can be described as "full of fate"!
It's just that Lu and Shi don't know that the "three mays" in their eyes are hiding from the side and watching secretly at the moment.
Hearing this, Lu Sanshuang patted his sleeve first, and then touched the black hairband on his head, and then nodded and said to Shi Tong:
"The path led by the junior brother is very good, and the credit of these two fruits will be recorded in your name!" After speaking, I saw that Lu Sanshuang's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look at the newcomer opposite, and said threateningly:
"Xue Tao, I limit you to leave this place within ten breaths, otherwise I will treat you as competing with me for the fruit. Wait a minute, not only will you suffer from flesh and skin, but you won't want to live a peaceful life in Nangong Gate in the future. You...... Let's see for yourself!"
After finishing speaking, Lu Sanshuang also raised his fingers and began to count, obviously forcing Xue Tao to make a decision as soon as possible.
Hearing that the other party not only said cruel words, but also happened to poke at Xue Tao's most worried place, Zhang Ping hurriedly said with relief:
"Senior Brother Xue, since it's a competition, whether it's an ancient or a new disciple, you should give it a go! If they trouble you because of this in the future, we can join forces to go to the precept room to complain. I'll be sure to testify to you! Don't be intimidated by them!"
At the same time, Zhu Xishun also persuaded on the side:
"Yes, Senior Brother Xue, you are the idol of our rookie disciples. Everyone admires you, admires you, and looks up to you. If even you give up so easily, then how should we, the secular disciples who have not been on the mountain for a long time, face this battle?"
"That's right, Senior Brother Xue, if they were completely sure, they would have done it a long time ago. But until now, they are still grinding with us, which means that they have no bottom in their hearts, so they dare not do it. I believe that as long as we are united, those two fruits will eventually belong to us!" Li Qinghai also analyzed on the side.
After listening to everyone's words, Xue Tao's expression was full of pain, which also represented his inner struggle.
After living in Nangongmen for thirteen years, he has really experienced too much suffering.
Therefore, on the one hand, he really wanted to stand up and fight against the disciples of the ancients and overthrow the mountains on them, but on the other hand, he was worried that if he did not succeed, then the comfortable life he had so hard-won would leave him again, and he really didn't want to live as fearful as before.
So, in the face of this dilemma, Xue Tao's eyebrows had already been twisted into a ball, but there was no answer in his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Shi Tong on the other side also saw Xue Tao's hesitation, so he spoke out and pressured:
"There are still five breaths left!Brother Lu, I'll clean up this Xue Tao later. Hmph! I want to see if he can make a few moves in my Shi Tong's hands! Hehe, if he accidentally breaks his hands and feet later, I hope Senior Brother Xue will take care of him!"
Shi Tong's threatening words made Xue Tao involuntarily recall the various tortures he had experienced more than ten years ago, and it was like the last straw that fell on the scales, making him make a final decision!
After a long sigh, I saw Xue Tao hugging his fists at Zhang Ping and the others, and said apologetically:
"A few junior brothers and sisters, I'm sorry! I still decided to withdraw from this competition and leave here! If you insist on picking fruits, I won't stop you, I can only wish you three good luck!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xue Tao say to the two teammates behind him, "Let's go!"
Then, the three of them quickly withdrew from the competition circle, retreating all the way to a hundred meters away, Fang gradually slowed down and stopped in the distance to watch.
"Senior Brother Xue!
shouted a few times, and saw that Xue Tao didn't even look back, and walked farther and farther, Zhang Ping had to stop shouting. With a little disappointment, he turned his head and whispered to the two team members:
"What should I do, Senior Brother Xue is gone, do we still want to stay and grab the fruit?"
Li Qinghai also looked depressed, and said with a depressed expression:
"Alas! This Senior Brother Xue really has a lot of cultivation for nothing, and he actually ran away like this? I was proud of him a few days ago! Compared to the instructor, he is really far behind!"
"Alright, alright, don't complain about this yet. Then tell me, should we stay or go?" Zhang Ping asked eagerly.
"The three people on the other side, the lowest cultivation level all have the sixth layer of the Meng Rank. But our highest is not yet the fourth layer of the Meng Rank, so I'm afraid there is not much hope. If Senior Brother Xue and them helped, they could barely fight, but now...... Alas!"
Zhang Ping actually had a similar opinion to Li Qinghai, and she also nodded after hearing this. However, before she could speak, she was preempted by Zhu Xishun with a stubborn face:
"Captain Zhang Ping, Senior Brother Qinghai, what do you say...... Do you want to run away without a fight?"
