"The ground is a prison."
That's right.
What Zheng Xiu is doing now is called "drawing the ground as a prison".
This is not an ability of a single [Prisoner] or [Painter] path.
It's not about writing a certain skill that's nailed down on the parchment.
It is the natural "result" that was born after Zheng Xiu continued to penetrate deeper into the path of the [Painter] and combined with the [Prisoner] at the same time!
This is a new thaumaturgy born from the combination of two paths that complement each other!
Self-created thaumaturgy - draw the ground as a prison!
Set rules, use media, hide limits.
Zheng Xiu drew the "circle" and said those words in front of everyone, and declared that anyone who used Qinggong to leave the "drawing circle" would be violating the rules. These were the "rules" set by Zheng Xiu. . Once everyone recognizes and develops corresponding cognition, the "rules" will take effect, and this square area will become an existence similar to a "prison".
As for the medium, of course it is his blood.
In order to ensure the power of thaumaturgy, Zheng Xiu naturally secretly set up "restrictions" similar to "oaths". This restriction is that when maintaining "painting the ground as a prison", Zheng Xiu must hold the paintbrush to ensure the connection between the two. .
This restriction is not harsh, but Zheng Xiu does not intend to set too strict restrictions for himself, which will only kill himself.
If he faced other experienced thaumaturges two hundred years later, his limitations might be seen through at a glance. But now in the martial arts era, Zheng Xiu is not worried at all.
In the past, Zheng Xiu had always relied too much on the "prisoner" when performing magical arts. He almost followed the rules and used them according to the ability instructions on the parchment. Now, as Zheng Xiu gradually deepens his knowledge as a painter, he sees more secrets, and finally takes the first step of his own.
In the middle of the sword-asking platform, on the high platform.
When Zheng Xiu loudly said "raise the stakes" and would rather "abort himself" from Qing Gong and draw the earth as a prison, everyone's expressions changed.
Some were shocked, some didn't believe it, some were disdainful, some were confused, and some even sneered at it.
Although Xiao Buping has a bad reputation in the world, his Qinggong attainments have been widely recognized.
Otherwise, no pair of martial arts lovers would change their expressions and run away desperately after learning that Xiao Buping had come to the martial arts conference.
Xiao Buping is said to be too fierce, his Qinggong is too powerful, and his doors and windows are too thin. I'm afraid I can't keep this sweet wife!
"You dare?"
When Zheng Xiu said these words in a calm and calm tone, it seemed as if he was not talking about life and death, but ordinary meals, firewood, rice, oil and salt. He was not talking about life and death, but fireworks in the world.
"you…!"
The Iron Lady touched her butt - her weapon was hidden under her skirt. With her "Thirteen Whips of Wind and Thunder", she was ranked 43rd in the weapons list by Jianghu Baixiaosheng. On the surface, she was even ranked higher than Xie Luohe. She was by no means mediocre and had a place in the martial arts world.
When she heard what Xiao Buping said, she couldn't help but be moved, and felt angry in her heart. You were so good at fighting, why did you suddenly say such nonsense. Just when he was about to refuse, Zheng Xiu said something hot again.
There were constant whispers on the high platform, and there were actually a few cheers among them. The Iron Lady subconsciously swallowed the words that came to her lips, stiffened her neck and said coldly: "Bitch thief! My Iron Lady is not afraid of anything, so why not!"
Dugu Xiang frowned and carefully considered Zheng Xiu's words.
Zheng Xiu's "raise" sounds cruel, but in fact it also leaves a glimmer of hope. It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to fight to the death in the ring, but it just puts restrictions on the scope of the venue.
He couldn't understand why Zheng Xiu did this. The Iron Lady was good at using the nine-section whip, which was of suitable thickness, flexible as a snake, and used like an arm. When the nine-section whip is stretched to its extreme, it can completely cover the circle drawn by Zheng Xiu.
If Xiao Buping's Qing Gong is really as good as the rumors say, and he relies on Qing Gong to survive, the outcome of the competition with the Iron Lady will be unpredictable. But Xiao Buping's move undoubtedly cut off his strengths and boosted the enemy's arrogance, leaving Dugu Xiang puzzled and confused as to why Xiao Buping created such a movement.
However, Xiao Buping has set the rules in front of the martial arts heroes. If he violates these rules, even if it is for the sake of the Dugu Family of Hidden Sword Villa, no one will immediately force Xiao Buping to kill himself, but once he leaves the villa, he will It’s hard to say that he would be chopped to death by dozens of angry female heroes as soon as he stepped out of the door.
The Iron Lady's first reaction was that the other party was cheating.
But if you think about it carefully, how could he cheat? Dozens of heroines in the audience stared at her, but she was not alone.
After thinking about it, Xiao Buping's "raise" was of great benefit to her, but she was a little worried that this thief would use Qing Kung to deal with her, and even shamelessly take advantage of her in front of everyone.
Now?
Don’t panic.
"Iron Lady, can you agree?"
Dugu Xiang asked from the high platform.
"Promise! How could I not agree?" Iron Lady suddenly smiled charmingly: "Dugu Daxia, if I accidentally destroy his hands and feet, it won't embarrass you, right?"
Duguxiang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."
"Hey!" Iron Lady smiled, turned her back on guests, and hooked her hand at Zheng Xiu: "I'll take it!"
Uh-huh!
Without saying a word, the Iron Lady took out the hem of her skirt and whipped the nine-section whip to the ground next to her. The crack was like thunder, and sand and stones flew up, leaving a deep whiplash next to her. mark.
"Xiao Buping, I'm afraid he's just shooting himself in the foot!"
"It's a dispute between spirits. This Xiao Buping must be a bug in his head, and the lake is wiped out!"
"I'm afraid it's because I've seen that the Iron Lady looks special, I haven't tasted it before, and I just want to show off in front of the beauty."
"You do understand what that thief Xiao is thinking."
"Where there!"
"It doesn't look like the Iron Lady will be merciful. I'm afraid Xiao Buping will be in trouble this time!"
"The ground is used as a prison. The place is spacious and every inch is long and strong. This is inherently disadvantageous to Thief Xiao!"
"Thief Xiao must die a good death!"
"Iron Lady, get rid of this scourge for the sisters who have suffered in the world!"
On the high platform, some people were talking and some were shouting.
ever!
Zheng Xiu, who had become the focus of the martial arts heroes, closed his eyes and felt the changes around him.
The moment the "rules" are established.
Zheng Xiu suddenly felt like he was enlightened.
With the addition of [Prisoner], he once again had an indescribable sense of connection with the "doorway".
Echoed!
【unbreakable】!
【projection】!
Strong man!
Zheng Shan!
Kakaka!
Without saying a word, Zheng Xiu instantly projected [Zheng Shan]'s ability onto himself. The Iron Lady was about to raise her whip to fight and whip the beast to death. But in the next second, he was shocked. He heard crisp crackling sounds from "Xiao Buping's" joints. Xiao Buping's robes bulged, and his length actually increased by a few points.
Iron Lady was startled in her heart, secretly wondering if this Xiao thief had practiced some unknown forbidden skills. She was shocked and angry in her heart. When she raised her eyes, she saw that the shocked and angry Iron Lady's face was full of sluggishness, and her legs were subconsciously clamped.
What a good, good, handsome man!
In front of the Iron Lady, Xiao Thief's facial features were still the same, but for some unknown reason, at this moment, Xiao Thief's whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of sacred light, like a god from heaven descending to earth, more like a dragon or phoenix among men, extraordinarily handsome and brave. Unparalleled. There was a strong masculine aura all over her body, and the alluring masculine fragrance hit her face. The iron lady was instantly drunk, and she couldn't extricate herself after just one look.
Zheng Xiu didn't notice the strangeness of the Iron Lady, and he even forgot that the handsome man Zheng Shan's appearance value was as high as "36", which was "unparalleledly handsome, extraordinary in appearance, and unparalleled in the world."
When the familiar feeling came back, Zheng Xiu touched the center of his eyebrows and tried to call out the "weird thing" and shake the form, but Zheng Xiu soon gave up this bold idea. The monster form makes too much noise, and when it is rubbed out, it will not only damage the muscles and bones, but even the sword-asking platform can be flattened by him. This is too shocking in the world of martial arts.
"Pity."
Zheng Xiu, transformed into a masculine man, holds a pen in his left hand and a fan in his right hand. The iron fan shook, causing sand and rocks to fly on the sword-asking platform. Everyone on the high platform was shocked, exclaiming that he was so powerful. They all covered their clothes and looked at the center of the sword-asking platform in horror. No one spoke for a moment, and it was strangely quiet.
Quick victory!
Zheng Xiu took a step forward, thinking that he would knock the Iron Lady out with a fan and be done with it. But when he saw the Iron Lady's face flushed, her lips moistened and she exhaled, as if she was drunk, she clamped her legs and was teetering, she couldn't help but raise a question mark in her heart.
"?"
"Bitch thief! How dare you...!"
Seeing the other party approaching, the Iron Lady felt ashamed and angry. She was ashamed that she had unintentionally had a shameful reaction towards the dog thief. She was angry that this dog thief was just like the rumors in the world. He had mastered the despicable charm skills and specialized in seducing ignorant women. Otherwise, he had always been disdainful of men. She was so caring that she would never show such an unbearable attitude in front of a man.
Damn it! Beast! Dog thief!
"Hmph! Little thief, watch your moves!"
The Iron Lady scolded.
The Iron Lady bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the sweet blood poured into her throat, causing her to wake up suddenly. The nine-section whip roared out and was whipped softly towards Xiao Buping.
This whip seems to be powerful, but there is no danger or angle at all, and it even warns in advance... The knights on the high platform have good eyesight, and they can naturally see that Iron Lady's whip does not look like a killing move, but it is somewhat ...the smell of coquettishness.
So slow.
Is this a master of weapons?
Zheng Xiu was stunned and easily grabbed the nine-section whip.
"open!"
The iron lady blushed and smacked her a few times, but she didn't pull out and glared at the strong man angrily.
"You give up?"
Zheng Xiu tried to save some face for the other party.
"I would rather die than admit it! Let go!"
"That……"
"snort!"
Zheng Xiu chuckled, pulled the whip, and pulled the Iron Lady towards him. The Iron Lady's legs were already sore and weak due to some reasons. When the opponent pulled her, she became even more unstable and fell over.
Zheng Xiu swung the iron fan and aimed it at Iron Lady's head, preparing to knock it down. Unexpectedly, Iron Lady reacted very quickly and flew forward with a scissor kick, hitting Zheng Xiu's head.
"grass!"
Zheng Xiu looked at the opponent's scissor kicks, and the iron fan had to pull back halfway. He plays Xiao Buping, but he is not a real beast. What's more, Xie Luohe was still staring. He was really knocking between the opponent's legs. I'm afraid he couldn't explain clearly.
In the blink of an eye, the Iron Lady clamped Zheng Xiu's head tightly, and the two of them rolled to the edge of the "painting prison".
boom!
The knights in the audience were stunned and stood up one by one in disbelief.
This... is such a cruel move!
High corner.
Wearing a mask, Xie Luoheben watched the show with a smile. She was particularly happy to see Zheng Xiu make a fool of herself. She couldn't explain why she was so happy. But with a smile, when the Iron Lady clamped Zheng Xiu with a "scissors kick" move, Xie Luohe's eyes narrowed, he bent his bow and almost couldn't help but shoot a shocking arrow at the two of them.
Soon Xie Luohe put down his bow and said coldly: "Have you had enough?"
In the field, Zheng Xiu couldn't express his pain. Xie Luohe's voice was not loud, but it reached his ears clearly. The next second, Zheng Xiu roared with filial piety and forced the Iron Lady to stand up like a ferocious beast.
"excuse me!"
Zheng Xiu flicked his neck and threw the astonished Iron Lady away.
Starting from the scissor kick, everything happened too fast and weirdly. Xiao Buping suddenly burst out with terrifying brute force, as if he were a different person, making everyone stunned and the scene was silent for a while.
The Iron Lady rolled to the edge with her body and whip, vomiting blood.
for a long time.
The silent Duguxiang ordered someone to ring the gong.
clang!
"Xiao Buping wins!"
The knights were in an uproar.
The result was so unexpected.
"What happened to the Iron Lady?"
"Thief Xiao is lucky!"
Some people saw that Iron Lady's moves were out of tune, that she was out of control, and that she wasn't up to par, so they said that Xiao Buping was just unlucky.
But this kind of rhetoric was ridiculed and ridiculed in an instant.
"Luck? You should take a closer look at the circle."
Zheng Xiu dispersed the [projection] and retracted his muscles at an imperceptible extent. The more you wear, the better. He cupped his hands and walked out of the sword-asking platform.
At this time, after Zheng Xiu left, someone noticed the center of the field, where Zheng Xiu had just stood up.
A clear footprint, pressed down to the depth of a punch!
Those were the footprints Zheng Xiu left when he exerted his strength just now!
On solid slate!
"hiss……"
Zheng Xiu put away the Luohe pen, waved his fan, and walked back to Xiao Tao under everyone's gaze.
"Sir, you..."
Xiao Tao stared at her young master with wide eyes, her eyes shining brightly: "Sir, you are so brave!"
"generally."
Xiao Tao would never doubt why the young master suddenly became so powerful, let alone ask when the young master mastered the magical skills. In her opinion, everything that happened to the young master was so natural and reasonable. In her eyes, there was only pure admiration and deep-seated admiration.
The Iron Lady stood up in embarrassment and wiped the blood from her mouth. She seemed to be seriously injured, but in fact it was not serious. She glanced hatefully in the direction of Zheng Xiu, but when she saw that the other party didn't even look at her, there was a complicated feeling in his eyes, so she could only silently walk down the sword-asking platform.
The sudden outbreak of "Xiao Buping" amazed everyone. But it didn't go as far as talking about it all the time. Most people just said that it was Xiao Buping who hid his strength, and that the weapons spectrum would definitely change dramatically in the future. But this is the case in the martial arts world. Whoever hides his strength and who wins is just a flash in the pan after dinner. There are always newer things to replace the old news.
The competition continued, and as expected, in the third round, Xie Luohe and Zheng Xiu faced off.
When the knights saw that they were the number one villain, Xiao Buping, a dog thief who hid terrible power, they happened to meet each other by chance. They immediately became energetic and asked the children of the Dugu family to add new tea and melon seeds, hoping to watch a good love. A drama between men and women where love and hatred are inextricably entangled.
On the sword-asking stage, Xie Luohe was carrying a long bow. A gust of wind ruffled her clothes, and her back looked a bit lonely.
"Did you have fun?"
Xie Luohe asked with a cold smile.
Under the spotlight, it was impossible for Zheng Xiu to ask Xie Luohe what to order, but he still expressed his dissatisfaction in a subtle way: "What do you want to do?"
Xie Luohe lowered his head, held his heart in his hands, and closed his eyes for a moment.
Under the mask, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose and then fell, feeling happy and sad for a while.
At this moment, Zheng Xiu once again saw the shadow of Feng Bei on Xie Luohe.
It seems that from the moment Xie Luohe started to know how to "pretend to be Fengbei", Zheng Xiu became increasingly confused as to whether the person standing in front of him was Xie Luohe or Fengbei. Maybe one day Fengbei really comes online, Zheng Xiu will still be wary and kick him over, saying: Xie Luohe, have you had enough?
Xie Luohe smiled slightly.
"I, Xie Luohe, admit defeat!"
