Chapter 6: Life and Death (I)
"Buzz ......"
When Zhong Shen's face was changing uncertainly, a fist-sized white light suddenly lit up on the stone door of the secret room, and a low reminder sounded from it.
"It's time. ”
Seeing this, Zhong Shen silently put away the vial, tidied up his clothes, and strode towards the stone gate.
"Brother Shen, you have finally come out of retreat. ”
Zhong Shen walked along a closed passage, and as soon as he walked out of the gate of the Zhong family's retreat area in the belly of the mountain, he was immediately greeted by a chubby and honest young man with an anxious look on his face.
"Zhong Tu, what's wrong. Zhong Shen looked at this friend of the clan who was also a concubine, and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"The third child is going to have a life-and-death battle with Zhong Jinkui, and it is about to start. The fat young man named Zhong Tu hurriedly said.
"Life and death! The third child is confused, doesn't he know that Zhong Jinkui is a cultivator in the later stage of foundation building?" Zhong Shen heard this, and his pupils shrank.
"The third child also advanced to the late stage a few days ago, and the reason for the life-and-death battle this time is that Murong Shuang and the third child have broken off their marriage contract and formed a double cultivation partner with Zhong Jinkui. Zhong Tu gritted his teeth and replied.
"It's Murong Shuang again, I didn't like this woman at first sight, I don't have any qualifications, I was able to become a disciple of the Zhong family with the help of the identity of the third child, but now because of the intervention of a higher-status descendant, it is normal to change a fiancé. However, even if they are all in the late stage of foundation building, you should be very clear about the difference in strength between our descendants and descendants, not to mention that the third child has just advanced to the late stage. Zhong Shen frowned and said slowly.
"Of course I know this, that Zhong Jinkui is extremely powerful even among his sons-in-law, so I came to look for you. After all, he had suffered at your hands back then, and he should still be afraid of Brother Shen. The fat young man smiled bitterly.
"Hehe, that was three years ago, and he and I were only in the middle of building the foundation at that time, so it's hard to say now. Let's go, no matter what, let's talk about life and death first. Zhong Shen sighed.
Naturally, the fat young man had no other opinions, and the two of them immediately left the retreat area.
On a mountain peak more than 100 zhang high, hundreds of Zhong family disciples gathered, all pointing around a white ring, and from time to time there were figures rushing here from under the peak.
The battle between life and death is not something that can be seen often, not to mention that this matter also involves the entanglement between the disciples of the two factions. If it weren't for the limited time, and the ban on air in the entire Zhong family, I'm afraid that the number of people who came to watch would increase by half.
That's it, and the many disciples who were watching around the ring were already talking.
"Zhong Jinkui, I have heard of it, he is a famous cultivation genius among his sons-in-law, and I heard that he has already built the late stage of the foundation a year ago, and he is second only to the existence of the third son. Who is this guy named Zhong Yun, who is sacred, and he actually has a late foundation building cultivation, tsk......"
"Zhong Yun has always liked to retreat and cultivate, and rarely interacts with other people, if you don't stay in the clan often, it is not unusual not to know him. But such a guy actually took the initiative to fight for life and death, and it seems that he really breathed a sigh of relief. It's a pity, I heard that he has just entered the late stage, how can he be Zhong Jinkui's opponent, not to mention the huge gap between the two sides in terms of exercises and magic weapons. ”
"I heard that it seems that Zhong Yun's fiancée was snatched away by Zhong Jinkui! There is no point in the battle of life and death, and he is completely conceited of life and death, and I don't know how the law enforcement in the clan will approve this matter. ”
"People are sons-in-law, in terms of relationship, how can we compare with these concubines. ”
......
Zhong Shen and the fat young man had already come to the top of the mountain, looking at the white light curtain that had risen around the ring in the distance, and the two figures facing each other in the ring, and then listening to the guards' discussions, their faces were not very good-looking.
"Oh no! I didn't expect the two of us to be late, and now that the ban on the ring has been opened, no one can stop this competition. Zhong Tu said with a pale face.
"Even if we had arrived earlier, we probably wouldn't have been able to persuade us. The third child will not give up this competition, and now he can only hope that he can have some means to reverse the disadvantage. Zhong Shen's face changed for a moment and sighed.
"Hmph, Murong Shuang and Zhong Jinkui's two doglegs are also here, and she still has a face to appear here!" The fat young man suddenly screamed excitedly after sweeping his eyes a few times.
Zhong Shen was stunned when he heard this, and looked at his gaze.
I saw three people standing next to a certain rock not far from the ring.
Two of the men, whom he also knew, were disciples of the Shu family who often followed Zhong Jinkui. The female is as beautiful as a flower, with a graceful figure, and there is an indescribable taste of style between the eyebrows and eyes.
It was Murong Shuang, whom Zhong Shen had met a few times before.
The woman was talking and laughing with the two people next to her, without the slightest worry and sorrow.
"She can appear here as a disciple with a foreign surname, it seems that she is really with Zhong Jinkui. Zhong Shen glanced at Murong Shuang deeply and said lightly.
"It's shameless!" Zhong Tu couldn't help but exclaim, even though he understood the truth.
Coincidentally, at this time, Murong's eyebrows unintentionally turned, and they happened to meet Zhong Shen's gaze. The woman was stunned for a moment, and after showing a little embarrassment, she immediately turned her head away, vaguely afraid of Zhong Shen.
At this moment, there was a fluctuation in the high altitude above the ring, and a gray-robed middle-aged man flashed out of thin air, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and no hair on his head, and after looking down a few times below, he said coldly: "I'll ask you two little guys again, this fight is conceited of life and death, if you use a powerful spell, I can't stop it in time." If someone really loses their life at that time, they will never be held accountable according to the rules. In this case, do you two still have to compete here?"
"Uncle Bai, I'm sure!"
"I'm sure too. ”
The two in the ring affirmed without hesitation, then one stared at each other fiercely, and the other with contempt on his face.
The former is a young man in a strong suit, with a handsome face, a long sword on his back, and his eyes breathing fire.
The latter is a boy with a horse's face, covered in brocade robes, holding a dark green paper fan in one hand, a thick copper ring in the other, and a sparkling cyan ancient pendant hanging from his waist.
"If I win this competition, you let Murong Shuang leave. The handsome young man shouted.
"What if you lose?" Zhong Jinkui asked disdainfully.
"If I lose, I'll leave my life to you. Zhong Yunsen replied.
"Okay, that's it. It's easy for me to lose my hands in the competition, and whether you'll be alive or not is a matter of two things. Zhong Jinkui laughed wildly.
"So do I. Zhong Yun's face turned pale.
The white deacon above turned a blind eye to the content of the conversation between the two, and coldly announced, "The competition begins." ”
"Die!" Zhong Yun shouted, pinched the trick with one hand, and the long sword behind his back suddenly rose from the sheath to the sky, turned into a green rainbow, and swept down Zhong Jinkui on the opposite side.
Before Qinghong could reach her body, Sen Ran's sword intent had already shrouded everything within a few zhang range, making people's hairs stand on end.
Zhong Jinkui laughed when he saw this, the fan in his hand just threw it into the air, opened it by itself with a bang, and all kinds of runes tumbled, and a dark green hill phantom floated out of it, and after a turn, it turned into a tall Zhangxu, and hit the slashed Qinghong.
With a "bang", the phantom of the dark green hill shook violently, and a crack immediately opened from top to bottom, but Qinghong also trembled and flew back upside down, turning into a cyan long sword again.
"Burning blood. ”
Seeing this, the handsome young man roared again without hesitation, and his skin was instantly blood-red, and when he opened his mouth again, a pillar of blood-colored light erupted from his mouth, and it disappeared into the cyan long sword that flew back upside down in a flash.
"Boom!"
The surface of the cyan long sword instantly ignited a layer of blood-colored light flames, and then, under the urging of Zhong Tu's mana, it suddenly circled, and once again turned into a blood-colored sword rainbow several times thicker than before, and rolled back to the opposite side with a terrible scream.
Seeing this, the white-robed man above the ring turned slightly condensed, but he didn't have any intention of stopping it.
