The sturdy man, or Nan Chen Taizu, had no intention of accepting the challenge.
Even though Du Chengfeng had put the knife on his neck, Nanchen Taizu still had no intention of fighting. Instead, he looked at the big knife in Du Chengfeng's hand with great interest, and admired it while looking at it.
"You are bringing something incredible. Someone is actually willing to lay down his life for you... Let's sit down for a while. I have someone else to make an appointment with me today."
Saying this, Taizu Nanchen pointed to the snack box on the table.
“Don’t let down the delicious food, it’s all made seriously by other restaurants.”
"Someone asked you on a date?"
Du Chengfeng frowned.
"who?"
"A young man, I mean a young man to me. For you, he should be older than you."
Taizu Nanchen was still so talkative and did not look like a master at all.
"Don't worry, I will fight you when that duel is over... But can you tell me why? In so many years, very few people have taken the initiative to challenge me, and I don't know you, so why do I have to do it? Woolen cloth?"
"I'm going to give you some blood."
Du Chengfeng's answer was straightforward.
"A fight is a side event, mainly because I want the invulnerability. If you are willing to give me your blood, this fight can theoretically be skipped..."
"that is it?"
Taizu Nanchen was stunned.
There was undisguised disappointment on his face.
"Is this all you want?"
"……no?"
Du Chengfeng frowned.
He knew this would be the result. No one would agree to be bled for no reason, but what was embarrassing was that this was something he couldn't do without.
So he brought a knife and a gift.
The knife was used to bleed, so the gift was of course an apology. He also knew that this was not an honest thing, but even if it was not an honest thing, he would still do it.
But Nan Chen Taizu still shook his head.
"Logically speaking, it doesn't matter if you bring a gift and I give you a drop of blood."
Having said this, Taizu Nan Chen looked up and down at Du Chengfeng's figure.
"But we know each other after all, and I have seen what you are capable of, so it won't work, except for you... Since you know about invulnerability, it should be the little emperor who brought you here, right?"
Seeing that Du Chengfeng was about to swing the sword again, Nan Chen Taizu couldn't help but shake his head.
"Don't rush into it yet. How do you talk about this... Well, let me tell you a story."
So, under the illumination of the blazing fire blade, Nanchen Taizu, who was eating snacks, spoke.
"It is said that a long time ago, there was a big tree..."
"It's a useless big tree, isn't it? Are you going to talk about spirit turtles later?"
Du Chengfeng immediately interrupted.
He has heard the story of this big tree too many times.
"Uh, have you heard that?"
Taizu Nanchen was a little embarrassed.
"But what I want to say is not a useless tree, what I want to say is a useful tree..."
"I've heard that too."
Du Chengfeng sighed.
Speaking of which, he probably knew what Nanchen Taizu wanted to say - it was just that if a big tree is useful, it will be taken advantage of by others. Obviously, Taizu Nanchen was comparing himself to the big tree, trying to arouse his sympathy, or perhaps he was warning him in a subtle way that after gaining the power of invulnerability, he would also become that useful big tree.
But, it doesn't matter.
This kind of story can no longer deceive him. He is not a big tree, he is a human being. The biggest difference between humans and trees is that humans know how to think of ways and how to solve problems.
"If you don't want to..."
Du Chengfeng raised his knife.
But Taizu Nanchen still shook his head.
"I do not want to."
"I know"
The heavy sword was swung down.
"So, let's have a fight..."
The sharp sword froze in mid-air.
A big hand has already grasped the back of the big knife, making it impossible for the big knife to move forward any further.
"I don't want to give you this blood, it's for your own good."
Taizu Nanchen sighed.
"Indeed, I can understand your feelings. As long as you take this blood and step into the ranks of inhumans, you can gain strength and become stronger... But you don't understand, young man, you don't understand that you are giving up. What."
"I know."
Du Chengfeng held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands.
On the thick sword, blazing flames rose.
Of course he knew that after receiving that drop of blood, he would probably enter an inhuman state. He also knew what he had given up by this act - it was nothing more than giving up some red tape and choosing something more practical. Things, such as invulnerability, such as strong strength.
In order to protect the stable life he wants, he always has to do things that are completely opposite to this goal.
He already had a clear understanding in his heart.
"No, you don't know. You don't know anything."
"I am oblivious."
Saying this, Nanchen Taizu's figure had grown huge again, and his clothes were torn apart by his huge figure, but the substantial black evil energy swept everything around him.
Until the huge giant more than ten meters high appeared again in this huge imperial mausoleum.
And those dark evil spirits gradually solidified and turned into a set of old armor, draped on the body of Nanchen Taizu.
This also made Du Chengfeng narrow his eyes.
"You've talked so much nonsense, why don't you want to be beaten?"
"Not because of you."
The huge Nanchen Taizu just shook his head, and then sat back on the equally huge throne.
It was at this time that Du Chengfeng suddenly felt a cold killing intent.
The murderous intention was violent, thick, and quite pure, and even brought up a gust of wind that was like a real evil wind - but Du Chengfeng could clearly feel that this murderous intention was not aimed at him.
What he felt was just the aftermath of this murderous intention.
And the real target of that murderous intention is...
"Has your southern blockade declined to this point?"
In the darkness in the distance, a fat man wearing a fur robe walked out of the shadows, holding a three-pronged spear in his hand.
The three-pronged spear exuding a heavy momentum was pointed directly at Taizu Nanchen on the huge throne.
"That's right. With someone like you sitting in the imperial capital, how can they care about the defense line?"
"Are you the new Khan of the steppes?"
The huge giant lowered his gaze.
"Do you think you can kill me?"
"Killing you is the real start of the war."
The fat man known as the Khan of the Grassland laughed.
"You don't think you really can't die, do you?"
"One wants my life, the other wants my blood... They are all like this, you have always been like this."
The huge giant sighed.
Then he raised his hand and pointed at Du Chengfeng, who was holding a broadsword.
"Since you both want something from me, let's have a fight first. Whoever wins, I will fulfill his wish."
"The two of us fight first?"
The fat man's eyes turned to Du Chengfeng.
Eyes facing each other.
"What are you fighting for! One piece!"
The first update arrived, and I quickly continued coding.
Also: Thank you all for your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Thank you for your encouragement and support.
Thank you for wishing everyone good health and all the best. Jin Xinyan’s reward is really a waste of money.
I quickly continue to code, everyone, wait a moment.
