The old immortal Nanhua has developed an innate body, and his vitality and physical fitness have always been at their peak. Although he is older than Chen Kang, in terms of physical fitness, he is stronger than Chen Kang.
In terms of martial arts skills, Chen Kang also has no advantage.
From this, Chen Kang could infer that the inherited knowledge acquired by Nanhua Lao Xian was more authentic and complete than that of Zuo Ci.
Taoism in China is the sect with the longest history and the most complete knowledge reserve.
Strictly speaking, Confucianism is only a branch of Taoism. In the Tao Te Ching, Confucianism only inherited "virtue" but did not inherit the knowledge of "Tao" and "Skills".
Chen Kang can despise that Confucian people are just empty talk and not pragmatic. But Chen Kang did not dare to have the slightest contempt for Taoism.
Chen Kang uses mathematical logic to decipher martial arts skills, but many of his martial arts ideas are actually very close to Taoism.
Martial arts techniques such as breathing methods, fetal breathing, thunder sound training, and psychological training can almost be found in Taoism.
Let’s not talk about fighting skills, let’s just say that Nanhua Laoxian’s breathing method is definitely more perfect and advanced than Chen Kang’s breathing method.
Chen Kang's only advantage may be his ability to multiply his power.
Chen Kang used three times the force-generating technique. His slightly fat body seemed to become more symmetrical and thinner, his body shape became more muscular, and his face lost the baby fat.
This is not a good sign.
Chen Kang's forceful use of force-doubling techniques is an efficient way to consume fat and energy in the body, which will cause huge load damage to the body.
"ha."
Chen Kang uttered thunderous sounds, and the whole hall was shaken.
Even Cao Cao, who was standing at the outermost edge, was shaken by the sound waves and his whole body was numb and his gums were sore.
Those who were closer to Chen Kang were shocked to the point of bleeding from their orifices and could not bear serious injuries.
Chen Kang turned into an afterimage, advancing instead of retreating, and rushed towards the old immortal Nanhua.
Old Immortal Nanhua said secretly: "Good boy, your skill has improved again. It's a bit tricky. I need to show some real skills."
Old Immortal Nanhua was really surprised this time. He admitted that he had underestimated Chen Kang before.
Even if Chen Kang has not developed a flawless body and an innate body, Chen Kang already has the power to threaten the old immortal Nanhua at this moment.
Chen Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
With three times the strength technique, he finally pushed the old guy Nanhua to the limit of his physical strength and speed.
The two were fighting, and their movement speed exceeded the visual limit of ordinary people.
They could only see two phantoms colliding and interacting with each other.
Lu Bu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and other great generals were terrified.
If he encounters powerful enemies like Old Immortal Nanhua and Chen Kang, he will be killed instantly with one move before he can react.
In the past, Lu Bu had always been unwilling and dissatisfied. He believes that as long as he practices his family's martial arts skills, he will be able to surpass Chen Kang sooner or later.
But now that he saw Chen Kang's true strength, Lu Bu was completely convinced and did not dare to have any thoughts of competing with Chen Kang.
boom.
The loud noise came again.
The energy was enough to break stone and separate gold, shattering two pillars, and the main hall of Sikong's mansion was crumbling.
Chen Kang vomited blood, there was a sword mark on his chest, and his clothes were dyed red with blood.
The sword of the old immortal Nanhua was broken. The expression on his face was no longer as calm as before, his breathing became heavier, and his heart beat faster.
Chen Kangneng could tell that Old Immortal Nanhua had been injured by his punch, but there was no internal injury visible on the surface.
Chen Kang said: "Old Immortal Nanhua, do you and I still want to fight? If we continue to fight, I may die, but before I die, I will hold you on my back."
Without spiritual energy and cosmic power, Chen Kang's body strength is limited, and it is already very difficult to control three times the force technique.
If he uses another four times the amplitude of force technique, Chen Kang's body will definitely collapse.
When the time comes, Chen Kang is afraid that his body will explode and die, let alone developing an innate body and a flawless body.
Nanhua Laoxian doesn't plan to fight anymore.
It's not worth it to kill Chen Kang at the cost of serious injury.
The old Nanhua immortal cherished his life. He felt that Chen Kang's life was not as precious as his own. If you continue to fight, you will be the one who suffers.
The old immortal from Nanhua said: "Chen Kang, with your martial arts, you are completely qualified to be extraordinary. Why should you recognize Cao Mengde as your lord and protect Cao Mengde's life to the death?"
Chen Kang sneered and said: "Chen doesn't need you to teach him how to do things. I wonder who can actually ask the Taoist priest to kill the current Sikong?"
Nanhua Old Immortal smiled slightly: "You guess. Cao Mengde, with Chen Kang here, your life is saved today. However, I don't know if Pindao will take action against you next time."
Nanhua Old Immortal made a slight leap, jumped onto the roof, dodged several times in succession, and disappeared.
Chen Kang said: "Lord, the powerful enemy has retreated. I will retreat first."
Cao Cao said: "Mr. Chen Kang, you are injured. I asked Xu Chu to take you back."
Chen Kang shook his head and said: "No need. This small injury is nothing to me. Everyone, Chen will take his leave."
…
Back in the secret practice room where he lived, Chen Kang could no longer hold on, fell to the ground and fainted.
Chen Kang's injury was not a minor injury as he said. He said that just to reassure Cao Cao and to stabilize others.
Of course, Chen Kang's serious injury is a top secret and must not be known to the second person.
Otherwise, Chen Kang would be in trouble.
Maybe the old immortal Nanhua will go and come back, killing everyone with a carbine.
Two hours later.
Chen Kang wakes up.
Fortunately, Chen Kang's control of the body is very fine, and he can control the muscles, bones and internal organs of the whole body.
Through the breathing method and thunder vibration, the congestion in the body was eliminated, and the body regained its vitality.
However, this is just an appearance.
In fact, there are many small hidden wounds in Chen Kang's body.
These hidden injuries are difficult to repair.
Even if Chen Kang used the Fetal Breathing Technique to put himself into a dormant state, it would still be difficult to recover.
After all, there is no aura in this world.
"No matter how difficult it is, I will repair my body." Chen Kang secretly said, "My physical strength has reached a certain limit. If I want to continue to become stronger, I can only cultivate an innate body or a flawless body. body."
An innate body and a leak-free body can lock in the loss of vitality and allow physical strength to reach unprecedented peaks. It is a sublimation of life.
Among the powerful people Chen Kang had met, except for the old immortal Nanhua, none had developed an innate body.
It can be seen how difficult it is to practice the innate body and the flawless body.
…
Cao Cao was very angry.
It was really abominable that an old Taoist priest came to assassinate him.
If Chen Kang hadn't been there...
The consequences could be disastrous.
Cao Cao was extremely frightened when he thought about it, and even now he still has some lingering fears.
"Don't let me find out who is behind this."
Cao Cao said coldly: "Otherwise, I will definitely let him shatter into pieces and scatter his bones into ashes. And that old Taoist priest, sooner or later, I will deal with him!"
Guo Jia said: "Lord, please calm down. Mr. Chen Kang has defeated the old immortal Nanhua, so I believe he will not come to assassinate the lord again for the time being. In my estimation, it is impossible to invite an otherworldly land god like the old immortal Nanhua. There are only a few outside."
Cao Cao asked, "Oh? What's the point of being filial?"
Guo Jia said: "The Yuan family, the Sun family, Liu Bei... and the Emperor."
Um?
Cao Cao was stunned.
The Yuan family is powerful and has two princes, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. It is possible that they can invite the old immortal Nanhua to deal with them.
After Sun Jian's death, the Sun family declined for a period of time. But now the Sun family is prospering in Jiangdong and has the support of Jiangdong's nobles. Their strength cannot be underestimated.
Liu Bei used to be homeless.
But now Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang's assistance. He has not only swallowed up Jingzhou and Bashu, but is also seeking territories such as Yangzhou, which should not be underestimated.
The only thing Cao Cao didn't consider was the little emperor.
Cao Cao took charge of 200,000 Xiliang elites and the previous 100,000 troops of Yanzhou.
Cao Cao controlled an army of 300,000 men and was extremely powerful. Cao Cao inherited everything from Dong Zhuo.
However, the little emperor gradually grew up.
The little emperor is surrounded by a group of civil servants who are more successful than others.
Those civil servants may not be good at doing practical things, but they are professionals when it comes to intrigues.
Letting Cao Cao be Sikong was out of necessity.
But if the little emperor is allowed to be a puppet and not allowed to take power, the little emperor will definitely not be willing to do so.
As much as the little emperor hated Dong Zhuo before, he hates Cao Cao now.
If anyone wants Cao Cao to die the most, it must be the little emperor.
Cao Cao said: "The emperor also wants me to die? If I die, who will stabilize the current situation for him?"
Guo Jia said: "If my lord does not want the emperor to be resentful, he can only return the government to the emperor, take the initiative to hand over military power, and resign from the post of Sikong."
Cao Cao sneered and said: "You want me to resign as Sikong and make way for a more talented person? What a joke. The little emperor can't suppress those demons and monsters. If I don't become Sikong and hand over the military power, the court will be in chaos. Even if I agree to hand over the power, the advisers and generals under my command will not be able to control them. I will agree."
The honor, disgrace, wealth, and honor of Cao Cao's powerful advisers, generals, and even small soldiers all depended on Cao Cao.
There was no way they could let Cao Cao retreat.
Return the government to the emperor and let Wang Yun and his group of civil servants come to power? They would never agree.
Guo Jia said: "Of course my lord cannot give in. However, my lord needs to be more careful in the future. My lord, when you were the shepherd of Yanzhou, all we had to deal with were external enemies, but if my lord became Sikong, then we would not only have external enemies, but also internal enemies." Suffer."
Internal enemies are often more vicious and terrifying than external enemies.
Cao Cao nodded, his expression a little solemn.
Cao Cao was talented, but it was his first time being a Sikong and he had no experience.
At this moment, Cao Cao felt unprecedented pressure.
There are too many people who want Cao Cao dead. Within the imperial court, it was impossible to tell who was a friend and who was an enemy. Anyway, there is me in you and you in me.
Cao Cao said: "Fengxiao, how is Mr. Chen Kang's injury?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "After Mr. Chen Kang returned, he practiced in seclusion. Ge Xuan guarded the door of the secret room and refused to let anyone in. We can't see Mr. Chen Kang."
Cao Cao understood that Chen Kang said he was practicing, but he must be recuperating in a secret room.
I don’t know how serious Chen Kang’s injury is. Is it serious?
Chen Kang said there was nothing serious, but Cao Cao suspected that Chen Kang's injury was not as simple as it appeared. After all, Chen Kang had a sword wound on his body at the time, and he also vomited blood.
Cao Cao said: "After Mr. Chen Kang comes out of confinement, ask Hua Tuo to take a look at his body."
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Yes, Lord."
Cao Cao said: "Fengxiao, you should also take care of yourself. Mr. Chen Kang is in seclusion, so don't steal wine again."
Guo Jia said depressedly: "My lord has planted so many spies in my house. No matter how powerful I am, I can't steal wine."
Chen Kang prevents Guo Jia from drinking too much and does not allow Guo Jia to get close to beauties, which makes Guo Jia very angry. But Guo Jia still hopes that Chen Kang can recover soon.
The Cao Cao Group cannot survive without Chen Kang.
If it weren't for Chen Kang to keep him in check, that guy Lu Bu would probably jump out and cause trouble immediately.
…
Wang Yun's residence.
With Chen Kang's intervention, Wang Yun did not die in Chang'an, but followed the emperor back to Luoyang City.
Wang Yun's official position is still Situ.
When it comes to official positions, Wang Yun and Cao Cao are on equal terms, one is Situ and the other is Sikong, they are no different.
But sometimes, the power cannot be determined by official position alone.
Wang Yun was a civil servant, but he was nothing in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao controls the military power, which means he controls the power.
Wang Yun is still very prestigious among civil servants.
Wang Yun was considered the leader among the civil servants of the dynasty. They regarded themselves as loyal ministers and were loyal to the Han court and the emperor.
They used to criticize Dong Zhuo, but now they criticize Cao Cao.
Dong Zhuo is a thief of Dong.
Cao Cao is a thief.
Tonight.
Many civil servants came to Wang Yun's house, including Sima Yi.
Wang Yun said: "You all know what happened in Sikong Mansion, right? It's a pity that Cao Cao and Chen Kang were not killed."
At first, Cao Cao came to Wang Yun's house to ask for a drink. Wang Yun gave Cao Cao the family's seven-star sword and asked Cao Cao to assassinate Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo is already dead.
But Cao Cao changed from a little man to Sikong in charge of an army of 300,000.
Wang Yun felt a little unbalanced in his heart. How could you, Cao Mengde, be so virtuous? Why should you be on an equal footing with yourself?
Doctor Zhongsan Fu finished and said: "We have all heard about the battle in Sikong Mansion yesterday. Cao Mengde did not invite us to the banquet. We don't know the specific information."
Wang Yun looked at Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, you attended a banquet at Sikong Mansion yesterday. What was the specific situation?"
The Wang family and the Sima family are family friends, and Wang Yun and Sima Fang are good friends.
Sima Yi came to Luoyang to serve as an official and stayed with Cao Pi, but he still had contact with Wang Yun.
In fact, Sima Yi also wanted to inherit Wang Yun's political resources.
Everyone present looked at this junior Sima Yi.
Sima Yi did not panic at all and said calmly: "I witnessed the fight between Chen Kang and the Nanhua Old Immortal with my own eyes. The two of them are so powerful that they are not like ordinary people. They are otherworldly and can be called land gods."
When Chen Kang defeated Lu Bu in the Chang'an City school field, Wang Yun felt that Chen Kang was very powerful, but that was just a small show of Chen Kang's skills.
This time in Sikong Mansion, Chen Kang showed his ultimate strength, which cannot be generalized.
Fu Wan was worried and said: "I heard that the swordsmanship of Your Highness the Princess was passed down from Chen Kang. It stands to reason that Chen Kang has a big heart and should assist the emperor and serve the court. Why did Chen Kang not serve the emperor but instead helped Cao Mengde? With Chen Kang here, it is really difficult to deal with Cao Mengde."
Sima Yi said: "Chen Kang is very strong, no one can deny it. But Chen Kang was injured when he fought with the old immortal Nanhua. I saw Chen Kang vomiting blood, sword marks on his body, and blood stained clothes. Chen Kang is not immortal. Destruction, he is a mortal body just like us."
Chen Kang's injury is equivalent to the land immortal falling into the mortal world, and there is no sense of mystery anymore.
Sima Yi was afraid of Chen Kang before.
But when Chen Kang was injured, Sima Yi's fear of Chen Kang gradually disappeared.
It turns out that Chen Kang, known as the "land god", can also be injured and bleed!
Ha ha……
Sima Yi was very excited.
