Changsheng swallowed the talisman, picked up the teapot and drank a few more cups of tea. He then waved to the servants waiting under the stage. The latter understood and quickly came to the stage to take away the food box and teapot.
Since no one came on stage to challenge in less than half an hour, Chang Sheng turned to look at Ni Chenyi. Ni Chenyi had already covered her face with red silk at this time, and she couldn't see the expression on her face.
He looked at Ni Chenyi to confirm her opinion on the matter, because Ni Chenyi had also read the words on the talisman paper, and he was confused now. Ni Chenyi should know more about the situation than he did.
Ni Chenyi knew that Changsheng was looking at her and that he was asking for her opinion. After a brief silence, she nodded slowly to him.
Ni Chenyi nodded, indicating that she thought he could follow the instructions on the talisman.
Changsheng nodded and turned his attention elsewhere. The development of the matter was completely beyond his foresight and expectation. Before that, he had thought that the matter was secretly controlled by the imperial court and that the man behind the scenes was the emperor himself. However, it seems that this is not the case at present.
There should be someone else who wants to marry the Ni family, and this group of people has the ability to influence the government and mobilize officials in various ministries. Concubine Yan Guifei in the harem is probably one of them.
This group of people were undoubtedly hostile to the emperor, otherwise the emperor would not have instructed him to take advantage of the opportunity of a martial arts contest to recruit a bride to eradicate them.
The emperor is the most powerful person in the world, and he can take life and death at his own discretion, but he cannot kill these people openly and openly. He can only secretly give instructions and borrow swords to kill people. This shows that the political situation in the current court is extremely complicated, and the emperor's power is greatly restricted.
When the master was still alive, Chen Liqiu once told him that there were eunuchs in the imperial court who were disrupting the government. If nothing else happened, the emperor's enemies should be the eunuchs and eunuchs.
What the talisman says is to kill all those who are on stage at Shen Shi. From this, it can be determined that the powerful enemy will take action at Shen Shi. The martial arts competition is scheduled to end at You Shi. It will be a full hour from Shen Shi to You Shi. Within this hour, there will be A large number of powerful enemies take the stage.
Since the opponent came prepared, he must be fully prepared. What he faced at this time was just some stragglers. When the time came, he would have to face the real masters.
At this moment, Changsheng felt unprecedented pressure. At this time, it was no longer a simple competition to recruit a bride. If he lost this battle, Ni Chenyi would have no choice but to marry a fellow eunuch, and the Ni family would be on the opposite side of the emperor.
This is a mission assigned by the emperor himself. If he loses, he will not be the only one who will be embarrassed. The entire Longhu Mountain will be disgraced. He owes Longhu Mountain a huge favor. He has not had time to repay the favor. He must not give it to Longhu. Mountains are shameful.
It is no exaggeration to say that you can die in this battle, but you cannot lose.
No, if you die, you lose. It should be said that you can’t lose even if you die!
He read the books of sages and believed in the principles of loyalty and filial piety. Although he was dissatisfied with some of the court's practices, his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism never wavered. The same was true for everyone in Longhu Mountain, who had always maintained a good relationship with the court. .
Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye. After the ring reopened, someone immediately came on stage. They were still people who thought they were different. The end was still the same. Those who used weapons had their left legs broken, and those who fought with bare hands were kicked off the ring.
After a period of time, Changsheng deeply felt what it means to be stubborn. Although everyone practices different martial arts, their moves and routines are very different. Most people are the same as others, with little difference, and there is no essential difference. This group of people Why do people always feel that they are different, why do they always feel that they can do things that others cannot do, and why can't they clearly realize that they are actually very ordinary?
In the continuous fights, Changsheng became more and more comfortable. Since there were no difficult masters among his opponents, each fight ended very quickly, with no more than three rounds at most. In this way, the consumption of spiritual energy was very limited. Basically, in a saturated state.
Time passes little by little, the sun gradually moves to the west, and Shenshi is about to arrive.
By this time, Changsheng had won more than thirty games in a row, and his winning streak had doubled. He could no longer calculate how much bounty the Ni family should give him.
Everyone in the audience also started to boo, saying that after this battle, the Ni family would be ruined.
In the face of everyone's doubts and ridicule, Ni Dafu loudly announced that the Ni family would definitely fulfill their promise and pay the long-lasting winning streak bounty even if they lose everything.
It was only then that Changsheng suddenly realized that the Ni family's rule of doubling their winning streak had a profound meaning. It was to transfer property and leave a way out. If he successfully won, the family would not be able to distinguish between you and me. If he is ultimately defeated, all the property of the Ni family will be transferred to his name and will not be obtained by eunuchs and officials with ulterior motives.
After Ni Dafu finished speaking, a man in red jumped up onto the ring and sneered ferociously at Chang Sheng, "Boy, your movement looks so familiar."
The moment he saw this man, Chang Sheng suddenly frowned. He actually recognized this man. He was the man in red that he encountered from Prince Hong's Mansion that night. This man was very domineering in his poisonous skills. Chen Liqiu was injured by his accomplices with poisonous palms that night. The scene was dramatic. The poison attacked the heart and almost cost him his life.
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Changsheng squints at the sun to judge the time. It has already entered the Shen hour. This person is on stage at this time, and he is undoubtedly the vanguard of a powerful enemy.
"Hey, boy, have we met before?" The man in red smiled strangely.
"Please tell me the name of your master." Ni Dafu said loudly.
"Aguo Dabao of Wudu Ridge," the man in red curled his lips and smiled evilly, "He is thirty years old this year."
As Aguo Dabao replied, Chang Sheng was thinking anxiously in his mind. Aguo Dabao had previously served as the guardian of Prince Hongjun. The two of them had fought against each other on the night of the incident, and he had used Xuanyin Qi at that time. Aguo Dabao knew that He knows the details.
This person is not only powerful in poison skills, but also has profound spiritual energy cultivation. He has a deep blue hole, which makes him a formidable enemy.
Aguo Dabao was undoubtedly ordered to take action at this time. The reason why the people behind the scenes sent him to take the lead was most likely to use Aguo Dabao's poisonous skills to poison him.
His Xuanyin Qi and Chiyang Qi had not been used before, and they could no longer hide it. The last time he fought with Aguo Dabao, he never faced the opponent with his palms, and kept using his feet to fight against the enemy. This caused Aguo Dabao to misunderstand, mistakenly believing that his Xuanyin Qi could not resist the Poison Kung Fu he used. But what Aguo Dabao didn't know was that at this time, his Hunyuan Divine Kung Fu had reached the fourth level. Although the spiritual energy cannot break out of the body, it can already condense thick ice from the palms of the hands.
Although Changsheng had been ruthless before this, he had never gone on a killing spree. He needed to stabilize his mind and calm down his emotions before taking action.
Aguo Dabao didn't know why. When Changsheng took a deep breath, he mistakenly thought that he was nervous and kept squinting coldly and smiling strangely.
If there were no previous talisman messages, Changsheng would definitely have concerns, because Prince Hong is a relative of the emperor. If he uses Xuanyin Qi, his identity may be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble to himself, but this Aguo Since Dabao stood up for the emperor's enemies, it meant that the relationship between Prince Hong and the emperor was not much better.
Although Ni Dafu knew that delaying time was beneficial to longevity, he could not delay for no reason and could only ring the gong.
Changsheng kept staring at Ni Dafu from the corner of his eyes. Before the sound came out, he rushed out the moment the gong hammer fell. At the same time, he pushed Xuanyin's true energy to the extreme, and ice condensed on his hands, ready to go. .
When facing an enemy in battle, the opportunity is extremely important. Whoever seizes the opportunity will take the initiative. Due to Changsheng's quick reaction, by the time the sound of the gong reached Aguo Dabao's ears, he had already rushed within five feet. Aguo Dabao relied on himself. He has profound cultivation and overbearing poison skills. He does not dodge, uses strange screams and exerts force, and his poison palms rush out.
There is a ferocious venomous snake tattooed on Aguo Dabao's arm. When he takes out his palm, it looks like a poisonous snake spitting out a message. The wind from the palm is pungent and pungent. Changsheng also puts out his right palm, facing each other head on.
Seeing that Changsheng dared to hold hands with him, Aguo Dabao sneered ferociously. His mission was not to defeat Changsheng, he only needed to poison him and he would be done.
In an instant, the two palms met. Changsheng's right palm was just a defender, with only 30% of spiritual energy poured into it. The real killing move was hidden in his left hand. The moment the two palms met, Changsheng used the counter-shock from his right palm. He turned around very quickly, twisted his body and used his left fist, which was covered with thick ice, to hit the jade pillow on the back of Aguo Dabao's head hard.
This punch directly hit Aguo Dabao until he vomited blood and staggered forward.
Naturally, Changsheng would not give him a chance to recover and take a breath. He chased after him and punched the jade pillow again.
If it were an ordinary opponent, he would have fallen to the ground and died after suffering two heavy blows in succession. However, Aguo Dabao, who had a large cave cultivation level and dark blue aura, was still trying to turn around despite being hit hard.
Changsheng was not only afraid of his poison skills, but also of the poisons he might carry and the poisonous blood he might spew out. How could he give him a chance to turn around? His spiritual energy rushed, he shouted and exerted his strength, and hit Aguo Dabao's jade pillow point again. .
This punch directly caused Aguo Dabao to bleed from all his orifices, and he fell to the ground, vomiting blood and convulsing.
Seeing that Aguo Dabao was bound to die, Chang Sheng did not continue to make additional moves, but retreated and stayed on guard.
At this time, more than ten thousand people gathered around the ring, and so many people were silent. Most of them had seen this since early morning. From the competition to now, it was the first time that Changsheng shouted and exerted his strength. Everyone thought that Changsheng had been there before. He was extremely ruthless, and only now did he realize what true ruthlessness was. He had been merciless in previous competitions.
In addition, what made everyone more confused was that the two men's fighting style was not a martial arts competition at all, but was entirely aimed at killing people.
Aguo Dabao's Seven Apertures Divine Mansion was hit hard one after another, and there was no chance of survival. He struggled to turn over, coughing up blood and sneering ferociously at Changsheng.
Changsheng raised his hands and inspected them indifferently. He saw that the palms and backs of both hands were stained with black poison, and the smell was unpleasant.
"Haha, you... you are dead..." Aguo Dabao was dying.
Changsheng sneered indifferently, and at the same time raised his arms and exerted his strength. When the spiritual energy reached him, the thick ice covering his hands and the poison attached to them were all broken and fell...
