Shi Dewa put down the Yutian Spear on his shoulder, stepped forward, knelt down in front of Zhou Chi and kowtowed, and said, "Master, everything is well? I will never forget your three-year teaching grace to me in the Imperial Martial Academy." I'm kowtowing to you here, and in a while our master and apprentice may meet each other. ”

Shi Dewa stood up and said to Zhou Chi, "Zhou is in charge! I am here to worship my father." You have blockaded Yongan Island for many years, so that we are separated from each other, and father and son cannot see each other. I didn't see my father until he died. Isn't this the result of your blockade? The Great Rumor Master and his father died suddenly one after another. Can you say that this has nothing to do with your blockade?"

Zhou Chi said: "Shi Dewa, you are right, we cannot escape the blame for the death of Ling Zun and the Great Ballad Master. But the death of the King of Nanling did happen on the island, and we ......"

Shi Dewa said: "You have been investigating for seven or eight years, but is there any evidence that the death of the king of Nanling was committed by the people on the island?"

Zhou Chi said: "No! So we are deciding to lift the blockade on the island. We are deeply saddened and sorry for the passing of Ling Zun and the Great Ballader. ”

"So, you're not going to stop me from dealing with the affairs of the clan on the island?"

Zhou Chi said, "Can you tell me what you want to deal with?"

"I want to take my people away from Yong'an Island. ”

Zhou Chi said: "I was entrusted by the emperor to come to the island to participate in the condolence activities of Ling Zun and the Great Rumor, and before leaving, the emperor has ordered the blockade of the island to be lifted and the islanders are allowed to go out freely. But you have to get your people to evacuate the island, it's too important, and I have to send someone to explain it to the emperor. I think the emperor should be able to agree to this matter, and when I receive the emperor's will, how about you take the people to evacuate?"

Shi Dewa said: "You are too domineering! When the king of Nanling died mysteriously on the island, you blocked the whole island and investigated it for a few years. Now, the Great Rumor Master and the Great Magician on the island have passed away without explanation, and we haven't said anything about investigating you, but we just want to leave this sad island, and we have to wait for you to discuss before we can make the trip. So, I won't wait for your order, I will take my people away from the island after worshipping my father!"

Zhou Chi and Emperor Zhou Tian already knew that Shi Dewa and other people from Yong'an Island had fled to Jiuhuangling, but they did not go to Jiuhuangling to arrest people. First, because they designed the bitter plan for the death of the king of Nanling, they wanted to snatch new metal materials, and the people on Yongan Island were innocent. The second is out of a trace of jealousy of the Nine Desolate Mountains, the terrain of the Nine Desolate Mountains is extremely steep and complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the residents of the Nine Desolate Mountains, the Changyu ethnic group is a very cohesive ethnic minority, and it is necessary to pay a great price to attack the Nine Desolate Mountains. At the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, it attacked the Nine Desolation Mountains, but the losses were very large, and later the people of the Nine Desolation Mountains were also afraid of the Xurui Dynasty taking the initiative to sue for peace, and were willing to pay tribute to the dynasty. Over the years, Jiuhuangling was very loyal to the dynasty, and the dynasty allowed Jiuhuangling to exist in a relatively independent form of national autonomy. Emperor Zhou Tian didn't want to break this balance for the time being, so he didn't expect Jiuhuangling to catch Shi Dewa and other people on the island. Another reason is that Emperor Zhou Tian and Zhou Chi are bent on wooing Shi Dewa to serve the dynasty, they have long seen that Shi Dewa is a martial arts genius, and he will definitely grow into an unparalleled supreme martial artist in the future, and even Zhou Huan, the fourth prince they have always been proud of, cannot catch up with Shi Dewa's footsteps. Therefore, they do not want to easily become enemies with Shidwa.

Zhou Chi thought of all this, and thought that now Cangdewa's violent death was very likely to be a reason for Shi Dewa to rebel against the dynasty.

What shocked Zhou Chi even more was the formation behind Shi Dewa, as soon as he saw the formation and weapons of the formation, he knew that this was an army with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Although the army on the island under his command was twice as large as Stoneva's, the superior army on the island could not defeat Stoneva's army. He had to tell Emperor Zhou Tian about this particular army as soon as possible.

With this kind of thought, Zhou Chi spoke extremely politely to Shi Dewa.

Looking at Shi Dewa, who was already angry, Zhou Chi looked embarrassed, and said slowly: "Shi Dewa, don't get excited. How about I come up with a solution, and we each take a step?"

Shi Dewa said impatiently, "Say it!"

Zhou Chi said: "The two of us will try our martial arts, if I win, you will wait for me to inform the emperor, and then take the people off the island." If I am defeated, I and the army on the island will withdraw immediately, and you can do whatever you want!"

Shi Dewa hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhou is in charge! I accept this gentleman's battle." ”

Zhou Chi was slightly stunned, he was just prevaricating, because he felt that this condition was clearly that he was bullying the weak with the big and the small, but Shi Dewa actually agreed.

If Shideva were defeated in this way, a large-scale battle between the armies of both sides could be avoided. Now is the time for the formation of a bad situation that will not lead to a big fight, which will lead to an ineffective end. He was able to buy time to explain the mutation situation on the island to Emperor Zhou Tian, so Zhou Chi was a little excited.

Zhou Chi came back to his senses and said to Shi Dewa: "Well said! Shi Dewa, since it is a gentleman's battle, then we don't have to fight directly. Let's go, let's go to the testing room. Let's have a real gentleman's battle!"

Shi Dewa followed Zhou Chi to a force test room on the island that was built in imitation of the Xurui Dynasty.

In the testing room, there are various grades of strong bows, power knives, and power stones.

Shi Dewa is born with infinite strength, strength is the strongest point of his force, but the core of super strength must be the internal force practiced by internal strength, Zhou Chi has practiced the internal strength of the Zhou family for more than 30 years, Shi Dewa's internal strength is taught by Zhou Chi, full of combat is twelve years, more than 30 years of internal force against twelve years of internal force, Shi Dewa is a peerless genius, and he Zhou Chi can become the second person of the first martial arts family, and it is by no means an ordinary talent, so Zhou Chi is confident that his strength can be better than the current Shi Dewa.

The two of them first came to the bow and arrow room, where there were ordinary bows, strong bows, and strong bows of eight strength levels ranging from eighty jin to two hundred and eighty jin.

Zhou Chi directly operated the two hundred and eighty pounds of strong bow, and he carried enough internal force, one after another, and pulled the bow on his hand eighteen times. This was close to his limits.

Shi Dewa looked at Zhou Chi and nodded, secretly admiring Zhou Chi's strength.

It was Shi Dewa's turn to pull the bow, and Shi Dewa secretly used internal force, which was an internal force practiced by integrating the internal skills of the Zhou family, the first martial arts family, and the Meng family, the third martial arts family.

Zhou Chi is a great expert in martial arts, he saw Shi Dewa's performance, and his heart was shocked: Shi Dewa also pulled the strong bow eighteen times, but it took a little less time; although I have reservations, Shi Dewa's strength has not reached the limit; it can be seen that Shi Dewa's strength is inseparable from mine.

Zhou Chi glanced at Shi Dewa with an incredulous gaze, turned around and crossed the Lidao room, and came directly to the Lishi room.

There are six kinds of power stones: 150 catties, 200 catties, 250 catties, 300 catties, and 350 catties.

Zhou Chi looked at Shi Dewa and said, "We had a draw with the bow before, how about we use this power stone to end this gentleman's battle now?"

"That's what I mean!"

Both sides were familiar with each other, and both were sure that the other party would abide by this verbal agreement, so neither of them said much.

Zhou Chi saw that Shi Dewa agreed to his conditions, so he grabbed the stone grooves on both sides of the three hundred and fifty catties of power stones with both hands, and lifted the power stones to his chest - the power stones stayed on his chest for a while, and then gathered enough strength to lift the power stones above his head in one fell swoop with the help of the strength of his chest, which was the method of lifting power stones.

Zhou Chi lifted the heaviest force stone to his chest, and without making any stops, the power stone was directly lifted above his head.

Zhou Chi put down the power stone, but the power stone did not fall to the ground, so he lifted the power stone directly above his head for the second time, and this time the speed of the power stone was a little slower. Next, Zhou Chi still didn't make any adjustments, didn't stop to take a breath, and lifted the power stone above his head seventeen times in a row, but each time it was slower and more difficult.

Zhou Chi put down the power stone, his face was pale, he trembled and collapsed to the ground, and there was a surge of qi and blood in his chest. Zhou Chi hurriedly secretly used his internal force to suppress the qi and blood that was about to rush to his throat. Zhou Chi fought hard to defeat Shi Dewa, and his blood was injured.

Zhou Chi couldn't accept the fact that the internal strength he had practiced with the exercises of the first martial arts family in the past 30 years was no better than the internal strength that a junior had practiced in 12 years, and he could never accept that he, who was regarded as the five major martial arts kings of the Xurui Dynasty and the second person in the royal armed forces, was defeated at the hands of one of his former apprentices in his twenties, so Zhou Chi fought to this point this time.

Shi Dewa looked at Zhou Chi who was sitting on the ground, and couldn't help but worry in his heart: because he felt that he couldn't lift the power stone above his head seventeen times in a row, not let the three hundred and fifty catties of power stone hit the ground, and without making any adjustments, he would never lose the fight, and he wanted to bring his mother, Feng Dewa's mother, the relatives of the Dewa family, the people of the Shui Dang family, and all the people of the Miao clan in the Nine Desolation Mountains back to the Nine Desolation Mountains, so as to ensure the safety of the lives of these relatives in the future.

Shi Dewa took a deep breath, used enough internal force, grabbed the stone grooves on both sides of the three hundred and fifty catties of power stones with both hands, and lifted the power stones directly above his head.

According to the method of Zhou Chi lifting the power stone, Shi Dewa could not let the power stone hit the ground, could not make any excessive adjustments and stayed, and kept lifting 350 catties of power stone in a row.

After Shi Dewa lifted the power stone for the sixteenth time, he only felt that his arms were already weak, his legs were constantly trembling, and the internal force of qi and blood in his body was also extremely exhausted. He subconsciously used the remaining internal force, concentrated on his whole body, and lifted the force stone little by little.

Stonewa managed to lift the power stone above his head for the seventeenth time, but he no longer had any strength.

Shi Dewa's fingers that were holding the stone trough were in unbearable pain, his internal strength had been exhausted, and the qi and blood in his chest were trembling, and he was extremely suffocated. He could barely hold three hundred and fifty pounds of power stones.

Shi Dewa's fingers grabbed the stone groove of force, and after standing for a few breaths, he forcibly mobilized the remaining qi, the qi penetrated the dantian, and then urged the internal force, that is, the innermost flesh and blood of the body burst out of the power, and it was to be mobilized under the mobilization of consciousness and all the forces of the body at the same time, this is the power of deep internal strength.

Shi Dewa fought out the internal force of the deepest bloodline, and lifted the power stone above his head for the eighteenth time.

The result of the internal force beyond what the bloodline can bear is that the bloodline is damaged, and the bloodline can no longer fully control the qi and blood. A mouthful of Shidewa's blood rushed to his throat, and the salty and fishy smell came out.

Shi Dewa, who put down the power stone, suppressed the blood and wanted to step forward to talk to Zhou Chi, but he didn't have the strength to walk for a while.

Zhou Chi walked over slowly and said to Shi Dewa, "I will immediately lead the army to evacuate Yong'an Island. We'll see you later. ”
