Chapter 112: The Mortal Situation
The person who came was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a strong physique, dressed energetically, with bare arms, walking between dragons and tigers, and his momentum was calm.
At first glance, he is a person with a bold and upright personality.
As soon as the strong man came to the courtyard, he glanced at it, and when he saw Shen Chong, his eyes lit up, and his voice was like thunder and asked, "This little brother is Brother Shen Chong!?"
Shen Chong smiled and said, "It's the little brother, but it's the eldest brother Jiao Can?"
Jiao Can grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and replied, "Yes! ”
A simple Q&A, the two looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed at the same time.
"Come, Brother Jiao Can, sit down first and then talk. Shen Chong greeted with a smile and sat down on the desk in the middle of the small courtyard.
Jiao Can was not polite, and sat up directly face to face with Shen Chong.
Li Si's family and Qin'er retreated first.
"Brother Xu Tianjun went out to run errands, and he must be back soon. Brother Jiao Can, why don't we wait while drinking tea?" Shen Chong smiled and asked Jiao Can's opinion.
"Okay, don't worry, anyway, the purpose of my coming today is to meet Brother Shen Chong......" Jiao Can nodded happily.
A few maids quickly cleaned up the table and served tea and pastries at the back.
Shen Chong picked up the delicate teacup and made a gesture of invitation to Jiao Can.
For the tea called frost dew and blue tongue in the Huangquan world, Shen Chong still likes to drink it very much.
Jiao Can also raised his glass, closed his eyes and tasted it, and sighed, and said: "Tianjun, he is really very good to Shen Chong, your newly recognized brother, and he is even willing to use this very mellow and precious frost dew blue tongue for you to entertain guests." ”
Shen Chong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and said that he didn't dare. "Little brother, I don't know how to taste tea, and I don't know that this tea is precious, but the tea in our Yama country is so mellow...... If I had known that this frosty dew blue tongue was so precious, I should have asked Brother Tianjun to help me change some ordinary tea leaves. ”
Jiao Can laughed, waved his hand and said: "I just envy Brother Shen Chong for being able to drink such excellent tea often, so I made these jokes, Brother Shen Chong don't take it seriously." Giving the frost dew blue tongue to Brother Shen Chong is also a part of Tianjun's heart, if you really run to return this tea, I am afraid that when the time comes, Tianjun will be so angry that he will run to the door to blame me. ”
Shen Chong smiled slightly, and found that this Jiao Can had an upright and active personality and was indeed worth dating, so he said sincerely: "Brother Jiao Can said that he laughed...... Today, I went to the Zodiac Immortal Palace with Brother Tianjun to handle the matters of joining, but unfortunately it happened that Brother Jiao Can had something to go out, and I was very sorry that I didn't see it at that time. This really made the little brother a little ashamed. ”
Jiao Can waved his hand and said with a big grin: "Between brothers, there is no need to stick to these subtleties, I heard that Brother Shen Chong flattened Fang Zun at the gate of the city, and let the patrol army leave in disgrace." Fang Zun is smiling on the surface, but his mind is not necessarily good. Usually relying on someone to support him and acting arrogantly, Brother Shen Chong can be regarded as a lesson for a wicked person. This matter spread to the Zodiac Immortal Palace, and many brothers praised Shen Chong for your courage and true temperament. For a young hero like you, I naturally can't sit still because I like to make friends, so I came to see you in the middle of the night......"
Shen Chong said with a smile: "Brother Jiao Can has promoted the younger brother, I am a little impulsive, and I can't see the wicked doing anything." ”
Jiao Can said with a straight face: "Brother Shen Chong, it's not good to be too modest. Immediately, he smiled and gave a thumbs up: "However, your temper and true temperament are my appetite! You brother, Jiao Can, I have made up my mind! haha!"
Shen Chong also laughed, and immediately said: "To be able to become a brother with Brother Jiao Can, Shen Chong can't ask for it." ”
With that, the two laughed again. Then he directly ordered the maid to make some arrangements in the small courtyard, put down a table and three bowls of tea, replace the wine with tea, one cup of worship to heaven and earth, and the other two cups were drunk by two people in one sip, which was considered to be the etiquette of righteousness.
At the beginning, when Shen Chong and Xu Tianjun became brothers, they also performed this ceremony.
The cultivators of the Yellow Springs Realm attach great importance to this kind of etiquette, but they don't need to worry about being like some businessmen in the New Realm, who are untrustworthy and can even betray their brothers and friends for the sake of profit.
At this time, Jiao Can suddenly got up and said, "Since I have become a brother with you and have drunk the righteous tea, I don't tell lies in front of my brother." This time, the first thing I did to make friends with my brother was Jiao Can, and the second thing was to ask Brother Shen Chong for something. ”
Shen Chong was curious, he couldn't figure out what he had to be taken by the other party, but looking at Jiao Can's personality, it didn't look like he would make unreasonable demands, so he said: "Brother Jiao Can, it's okay to say it." As long as the little brother does what he can, he will definitely not refuse!"
Jiao Can nodded slowly, and said with a serious face: "I came this time to ask Brother Shen Chong for your life!"
Shen Chong was shocked, but from Jiao Can's tone, he could also hear that the other party was not joking at all.
At this time, the power of the Yuan Spirit on Jiao Can's body was surging, and it was actually a posture to do it directly.
Although he didn't know why Jiao Can, who was still a brother just now, had such a change, but for the sake of caution, Shen Chong immediately became fully guarded.
At the same time, he immediately sent a message to Qin'er, asking her to quietly take Li Si's family away from the small courtyard, lest this Jiao Can really have to fight with him later, and he would be restrained in order to protect a few people.
Qin'er also felt the strange atmosphere in the other courtyard, and was shocked in her heart, she didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took Li Si and Long Feng to avoid from afar, and at the same time said: "Don't worry, Master, you must be more careful yourself." ”
Staring directly at Jiao Can not far away, Shen Chong didn't dare to turn around, but nodded slightly, as if he had received Qin'er's entrustment.
Shen Chong naturally likes to make friends and recognize brothers, but just after recognizing his brother, this brother wants to take his life for no reason, and Shen Chong does not agree.
"That junior cultivator girl has already left with her two children, brother, you should be ready, right?" Jiao Can's voice rumbled, and he waved his big hand as he spoke, instantly placing a prohibition, covering the entire courtyard within the prohibition.
In the entire ban, there are only two people, Shen Chong and Jiao Can.
From this moment on, as long as this prohibition is still in place, the sound in the small courtyard cannot be transmitted to the outside.
Shen Chong's feet moved, and the person had already flashed to the other end of the courtyard dozens of meters away.
In his heart, he was also thinking about it quickly.
According to Jiao Can's performance at the moment, it seems that the fight between himself and Jiao Can is inevitable.
He is in the early stage of transformation, relying on the special of Jiucai and Jindan, but he can easily defeat the general late stage of transformation. With the 'Flying Spell', the "Stepping on the Stars and Picking the Moon" body method and the medium-grade spirit weapon Silver Tooth Blade, if you don't hide your strength, even the average Yuan Infant early master can barely fight.
Although this Jiao Can is in the middle stage of transformation, because the body is a lower-level divine beast 'chisel tooth', his strength is much stronger, comparable to the average early stage of the Yuan Infant.
The two really fought, and it's hard to say who wins and who loses.
The momentum on Jiao Can's body has climbed to the peak. I saw that the meridians of his whole body were snake-walking, and his muscles were piling up, like a volcano, constantly accumulating the strength before the explosion.
At this time, Jiao Can spoke again with a gloomy face: "Brother Shen Chong, I'm sorry." I must go against my heart against you. But don't worry, after taking your life to save my wife's little thoughtfulness, if my brother and I can find the bastard behind the scenes, I will definitely cut him with a thousand knives, and if I can't find it, I will also apologize for my sins and return this life to you. ”
"Only by taking my life can I save the integrity of Jiao Can's brother and wife!?" Shen Chong's heart moved, and Jiao Can's words instantly made him hear the reason why Jiao Can wanted to take his life.
At all, someone used the safety of Jiao Can's family as a coercion to force Jiao Can to deal with Shen Chong, and Jiao Can had no choice but to do it.
According to the rules set by Emperor Yama, the members of the Zodiac Immortal Palace are absolutely forbidden to fight each other, and if Jiao Can kills himself, then Jiao Can will face the punishment of the upper echelons of the Zodiac Immortal Palace, and he will fight for his life. If Jiao Can misses and is killed by himself, then he will not be able to escape the constraints of the regulations and will be punished and killed.
After hearing the meaning of Jiao Can's words, Shen Chong's heart was racing, and he instantly understood the trickiness of this incident.
The current situation is already a dead end, Jiao Can and Shen Chong, no matter who wins, neither of them can escape death in the end.
forced Jiao Can to deal with Shen Chong in violation of the regulations, and to accompany his own life, all because the people behind the scenes seized Jiao Can's weakness and coerced him with the lives of his family.
"Good and vicious schemes. Shen Chong gritted his teeth and cursed secretly, and at the same time, he also vaguely guessed in his heart who was going to use this poisonous trick against him.
Thinking of this, Shen Chong immediately said calmly: "Brother Jiao Can, if the person who is lucky enough to be alive is the younger brother, Shen Chong is willing to swear here, and strive to protect your wife and children, and at the same time, go all out to track down the murderer, and make them pay the price of blood!!"
This last sentence, Shen Chong almost gritted his teeth and said it. With his words, a mysterious feeling arose from heaven and earth. Heaven and earth have sworn an oath.
For those who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, Shen Chong is very disgusted. What's more, this time, they even used Jiao Can's mortal wife and children as hostages to coerce Jiao Can to do it.
Such methods can be called despicable.
Jiao Can took a deep breath, showed a resolute smile, and said softly in a voice that only he could hear: "I, Jiao Can, really didn't see the wrong person, Shen Chong! You are a brother worthy of life and death." ”
During the day today, before Shen Chong and them arrived at the Zodiac Immortal Palace, Jiao Can received a spar sent by the guards at the door, which recorded some information, that is, to tell Jiao Can that his wife and children had been taken away and imprisoned, and he only needed to kill Shen Chong in exchange for the safe return of his wife and children.
Jiao Can, who was furious at that time, directly pinched and exploded the spar, and then frantically smashed several houses.
However, after calming down, he found helplessly that he could only do what the mysterious man said.
These clips flashed in his mind, and the next moment, Jiao Can directly started.
Comparable to the speed of Yuan Ying's early stage, Jiao Can's whole person disappeared in place in an instant, and the next moment, he appeared directly in front of Shen Chong.
