"Someone is frantically lowering the ranking on the top 100 list!" Shen Liang said hurriedly.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Mo didn't understand for a while.
"Don't you understand the rules of the 'Top 100 List' at all?" Shen Liang asked in surprise.
Zhang Mo frowned, shook his head and said: "I really don't know the specific rules of the top 100 list. You know, people in our support sect basically don't talk about that thing." There was a hint of indifference in his tone, obviously for I really don’t care much about things like the top 100 list.
Shen Liang thought about it. It would be strange if people from the auxiliary sect cared about the top 100 list.
"The Top 100 List is established to encourage the disciples within the sect to practice hard. All major cultivation sects have this list. Anyone below the Xuan level and under the age of 100 can compete in the ring. Those on the list can be said to have both fame and fortune. Well, Liuyunshan’s top 100 list is absolutely valuable..."
"Speak directly of the benefits," Zhang Mo said eagerly.
Shen Liang hesitated and said: "Vulgar!"
"Well, the first place has a 'monthly supplement' of 100 taels of silver, and then it decreases in descending order. The top one has 1 tael. Silver is not the key. Disciples on the top 100 list can receive two Huanglong Pills, six Vitality Pills, and one 'Yu Qing Dan', the elixir reward is a good thing."
"Ah, why didn't anyone give me a reward after I defeated Dongfang Ba?"
"Send it to you? Haha, you go to the Internal Affairs Hall to get it yourself, and I'll give it to you, what are you thinking about?"
"Then, what do you mean by being demoted?"
"The rules of the top 100 list are that high players cannot challenge low players, but low players can challenge high players, but they can only challenge opponents within five ranks higher than themselves."
Zhang Mo understood instantly and said coldly: "Someone wants to deliberately lower his ranking to challenge me and take the opportunity to kill me. Kill me in a fair and just way."
Shen Liang clapped his hands and said, "Yes, but this is in line with the rules. No one can say no, it's just a bit shameless."
"Who is falling down the list?"
"Zhou Fang ranked 72nd and Wu Zhenghong ranked 63rd"
"Two people?" Zhang Mo was surprised.
"Yes, these two people will immediately admit defeat whenever someone challenges them, and their rankings will continue to decline. According to this trend, Zhou Fang's ranking will fall below 90 in less than ten days. At that time, they will definitely challenge you, Then I will kill you in the ring. With your current strength, it is very dangerous."
"The Dongfang family will not stop until they kill you." Shen Liang added.
At this moment, Zhang Mo felt an overwhelming pressure.
He clearly felt the 'Xuan Dan' in his body beating suddenly, and the 'Xuan Dan' also felt the pressure from the outside world and the breath of death. However, at this life-and-death moment, the pressure made 'Xuan Dan' show signs of breakthrough. After beating a few times, 'Xuan Dan' began to rotate faintly, emitting a mysterious light. This light was dispersing the An invisible pressure and the smell of death.
"The breath of death..." Zhang Mo thought silently in his heart, "Maybe this is the opportunity for me to grow." He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to find the glimmer of opportunity for breakthrough deep in his heart.
Seeing that he was not nervous, Shen Liang asked curiously: "You don't seem worried. Do you have a way to deal with it?"
After a while, Zhang Mo opened his eyes, spread his hands and said with a smile: "I'm almost paralyzed with fear. The devil's way of dealing with it is to use soldiers to block the water and cover it up with earth. Liangzi, can you help me?"
He decided to make the pressure a little more intense.
Shen Liang asked: "What are you busy with?"
"You spread the news. If anyone challenges me, I will accept it for anyone below the Xuan level. There is only one condition, a life and death fight!"
Shen Liang took a breath and said, "So cruel?"
Zhang Mo said: "I'm tired of their secretiveness, why don't they be more upright."
Shen Liang was shocked: "Do you know how powerful the 72nd on the top 100 list is? You have no chance now."
"Tell me about it," Zhang Mo said seriously.
Shen Liang said seriously: "Although Zhou Fang is at the sixth level of Huang level, his strength is comparable to the masters of the first level of Xuan level. He once fought against the masters of the first level of Xuan level, and the two sides had a big battle. He’s not defeated.”
"It's really amazing to be able to fight at the Xuan level without losing." Zhang Mo took a breath.
"Also, Zhou Fang has mastered many disciplines and has extraordinary swordsmanship. But he is also a rare genius who can master both water and fire in the Five Elements. Usually water and fire are incompatible and it is difficult to practice at the same time, but Zhou Fang can integrate the two. You say he is powerful. Not Powerful."
Zhang Mo listened quietly, the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, but the 'Xuan Dan' in his dantian was getting brighter and brighter, and there was a warm current slowly surging.
Shen Liang continued: "As for whether he has any hidden skills, no one knows. His water technique is called "Jianghai Jue". Once used, the enemy can be wrapped in a mass of water. The water also has The corrosive power is very difficult; his fire technique is the "Fire Flame Dragon Technique", which is extremely explosive."
Zhang Mo's head was as big as a fight.
"Zhou Fang is not from the Dongfang family. Maybe he was just entrusted. After all, he has no grudge against you. So, you still only accept a life-and-death battle? In that case, there will be no room for change."
Zhang Mo felt a chill on his back and nodded: "I'll put myself to death and live again. If I can't die, I will definitely be able to break through."
"The key is what to do if you die, you have to have some backup plans!" Shen Liang said anxiously.
Zhang Mo said: "You know the Poison Classic, right?"
Shen Liang said: "You want to use poison?"
Zhang Mo shook his head: "The way to use poison is not easy. You can't learn it in a hurry. I said there is a sentence in the "Poison Classic" that is very reasonable."
Shen Liang said: "What are you talking about?"
Zhang Mo said:
“The antidote often accompanies the poison, and once you understand the true meaning, you can cure it.
Everything in the world is like this, poison and antidote are intertwined. "
He looked at Shen Liang and said seriously: "They want to kill me. I definitely have a way to solve the problem. There is no perfect way, but I have to find this way."
Zhang Mo knocked on the table. After thinking about it, there was no good way to deal with it. Staring at the scriptures on the table, the anxiety in Zhang Mo's heart gradually subsided. The 'Xuan Dan' in his body seemed to have a connection with his soul at this moment. A certain resonance brought him a kind of enlightenment that transcended the world.
"Scripture?"
He clearly realized that the only things that could save him from the dire straits now were the 'Xuan Dan' in his body and the scriptures on the table.
The two are one inside and one outside, one is empty and the other is real. The 'Xuandan' is the foundation of his cultivation, and the scriptures are the source of his wisdom. One virtual and the other real, echoing each other, just like yin and yang, the combination of the two is what he is. The student gate.
Shen Liang looked at the "Shangqing Sutra" in his left hand and the "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra" in his right hand, and said anxiously: "I'll go find you some martial arts books. At least they can save your life. See if these scriptures are of any use."
In his opinion, Zhang Mo was under too much pressure and was a little bit crushed. Now he is burying his head in the scriptures and seeking death.
Zhang Mo said: "Forget it, life and death are determined by fate and wealth. If God wants to destroy me, there is nothing we can do. If God does not destroy me, I will survive. I am of the sutra lineage, and the sutra should be mine. The birth gate."
Shen Liang was speechless.
I saw Zhang Mo completely immersed in the scriptures, shaking his head and reciting: "The journey of the great road is nothing but the combination of virtuality and reality, so that it can be endless. What is virtual is not nothing, but does not have the reality of form and substance; what is real is not Existence is the emptiness that has already formed its essence. There is reality within emptiness, there is emptiness within reality, and the blending of reality and emptiness is the great road..."
After all, Zhang Mo had saved himself. Shen Liang couldn't see him burying his head in a book to escape reality and said, "My father has a book called "Ran Splitting Wind Sword Technique" in his collection. It is extremely sharp. I can use it for you to practice? When the time comes, if you just hack at it randomly, maybe there will be a turn for the better."
Zhang Mo waved his hand and said instead: "Although Buddhism and Taoism are fundamentally different, many of their views are similar. You see, the Diamond Sutra says that all conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in dreams, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such." The fantasy here is actually a mixture of reality and fiction."
Shen Liang was stunned. Is this the time to discuss the meaning of the scriptures? He shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, it is of the same lineage as the scriptures. Forget it, you can continue reading. I'm leaving." After that, Yukong left. .
...........
Zhou Fang sat there alone, drinking tea silently and immersed in his own thoughts.
He is handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes are deep and clear, revealing a unique temperament. His black hair is tied up with a simple ribbon, and a few strands of hair are blowing in the wind, adding a bit of chicness to him.
Suddenly, a beautiful girl fell from the sky, with deep worry in her eyes.
"Do you really want to be demoted to beat Zhang Mo?" she asked, her voice full of worry.
Zhou Fang looked at her and showed a faint smile, "I owe the Dongfang family a favor. Since Dongfang Qianqiu has spoken, I have to repay the favor."
The girl gritted her silver teeth, "No! I just got the news. Zhang Mo said that he will accept any challenge from anyone below the Xuan level, but the condition is a life and death battle!"
Zhou Fang's eyes lit up and he said, "He's a bit brave. Is he so confident?"
The girl worriedly said: "You are devoted to cultivating the Tao and are not interested in killing. Let me go find Uncle Dongfang and ask him to choose someone else." The voice was full of tension and anxiety.
Hearing this, Zhou Fang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Xiuyu, go back and don't go looking for him. My life was saved by Dongfang Xiaotian. Killing someone for him is natural."
"No!" the girl replied decisively.
"Dongfang Xiuyu, this is my business!" Zhou Fang's tone revealed a hint of determination.
Dongfang Xiuyu was about to cry, "Are you absolutely sure to kill him? If you die, have you ever thought about me?" Her voice was full of sadness and helplessness.
Zhou Fang felt a surge of arrogance and said, "Are you so unconfident in me? Have you ever seen me lose in dozens of battles?"
Dongfang Xiuyu said: "That Zhang Mo is full of wisdom, ruthlessness and viciousness. He is definitely a genius. The tragic death of Dongfang Ba is an example. He has no way out and has to fight a trapped beast. But we have a way, right?"
Zhou Fanghao said angrily: "Wouldn't it be more interesting to fight against a genius who is driven crazy? He is ruthless and vicious, don't I have the means?"
Dongfang Xiuyu was anxious and angry, and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, she said: "Since you insist on fighting, you can go to the secret realm of Zi Mansion to practice."
Zhou Fang nodded. Indeed, practicing in the secret realm of Zi Mansion is much faster, but the price is a bit high.
