Chapter 543 – Why bother again?
The strong men behind Xue Mu surged up like a tidal wave, drowning out the rebels in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Mozhi had also raised a lot of gatekeepers and dead soldiers over the years, and many of them didn’t have low combat strength, and now they also gritted their teeth and went up to resist with the Seven Xuan rebels. However, it is still an ant, the gap between the top clans and the average martial artist is that the top clans are only the backbone of the force, while the average martial artist into the road is simply difficult, Cheng Mozhi raised countless martial artists, so far there is only one person this year lucky to enter the road.
There might still be quite a few strong people who hadn’t surfaced at Ji Wuyou’s place, but it was obviously more important for him to hide around, otherwise it would be hard to ensure safety.
Then how was this side strong enough?
Xue Mu’s side had crushed them several times over just by the Dao initiates alone, and brought in a lot of Devil Sect people and disciples who had mutinied back from the valley, so whether it was high end force or numbers, it was an all out crushing experience, like a storm sweeping through, there was no suspense at all.
Even the elder of the Shi family who guarded the tripod gritted his teeth and came out to fight, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
Cheng Mozhi looked at the scene of defeat, panicked and ran towards the back of the mountain, he really couldn’t rationalize how this battle turned out to be like this.
Yun Qianwu, Lengzhu, Shentu Sin, the three cavities, of which Shentu Sin is still able to fight against many cavities in the late stage of the cavities; Shi Buyi is at the pinnacle of the Dao of initiation, and the distance to the cavities is also on the verge of the door, and there are enough Elders of initiation who are on his side; Wan Poison Sect’s poisonous beasts have the best effect below cavities, and in terms of the ability to fight, so many black scaly scales are not vegetarians; plus the Five Elements Tripods … …
In terms of strength alone, if it can be properly utilized, this is a set of half the world’s strength may not be able to break the game. If you know that, like the Blameless Temple, relying on a bunch of Entry Dao plus the Causal Tripod is enough to stand for a thousand years, how much stronger is the power of the Seven Xuan Rebellion than the Blameless Temple?
But in the hands of Xue Mu, the left a toss, the right a toss, so much power actually was dissolved to seven or eight, even the tripod are on strike …… then borrowed a Shen Tu sin to draw snakes out of the hole to surround the point of attack, make seven Xuan Valley actually as an unsuspecting little girl, no resistance at all.
Xue Mu first used all kinds of public opinion and resources to blockade and force out the situation of prisoner exchange, which is actually just padding. The real killing game lies in the identity of Shen Tu Sin was utilized by him, with Shen Tu Sin, the strong court shot logically, do not need to report to Ji Wuyou, and Yun Qianwu was moved by him, the strength suddenly had a big reversal of the node.
And then continue or seize Leng Zhu want to kill him, lure the snake out of the hole to transfer the tiger away from the mountain.
Where is the key point in this? Shentu sin does not move, Leng Zhu does not come out, Xue Mu all the planning will not become a lie? Where did he get the confidence to make a final decision?
Cheng Mozhi suddenly realized something. The key here is that Xue Mu is too weak. ……
That’s right, Xue Mu is too weak. As Xue Qingqiu told him early on, if you have a certain strength, Xiahou Di can’t be the first to think of killing you, but you’re so weak that you can’t catch a single move, the enemy’s first reaction is to finish you off. Whether it is Shentu sin or Leng Zhu, it is inevitable to fall into this thinking, is to want to kill him, because it is very good to kill ……
Obviously the biggest break and weakness, how did it become an advantage for him to utilize?
Yes, change in the martial arts, this is the most basic “sell cracks” ah …… the world’s truth is never the same.
There is a high wall in front of us, we can’t run away!
Cheng Mozhi turned around and saw that several Demon Sect members were chasing after him. He panted and shouted, “Stop! I am ……”
A sharp pain came from his throat, followed by the sky spinning, and his last thought before dying was actually: how come Xue Mu can win by talking, you guys should at least give me a chance to talk ……
He didn’t even know the difference when he was dying. Xue Mu was the first to create a negotiation situation, while he was facing the devil’s mob that was eager to take his head to find the alliance leader for reward …….
The imperial court feudal official, the emperor’s teacher, the governor of Yunzhou Cheng Mozhi who had shown weakness and deceived Mo Xuexin for many years, died in this way in the hands of unknown demon sect demons, his head was cut off, and the Qiankun Ring was also seized.
And over there, Shi Lei also saw an opportunity to kill in the chaos. He escaped into the secret passage where Zhu Chen Yao escaped before.
Xue Mu had been watching the battle, and when he realized that Shi Lei had disappeared, he immediately took Ye Guying and chased him into the secret passage. The so-called “secret passage that only a direct disciple can master”, what secrets were there to speak of in front of him now? In order to facilitate him into the valley to act, the seven Xuan Valley map are held by the master of the valley personally pointed to him path, every corner of the let him know in the chest, as her body as ……
Shi Lei was also quite injured in the chaotic battle, stumbling all the way out of several miles of secret passage, just opened the stone door and jumped out, before he had time to take a breath, face to face was a cold aura, with the air condensed frost.
“Choke!” Shi Lei didn’t even use his fists a long time ago and swung his heavy sword to rack it. Even wounded and tired, he actually couldn’t hold up this attack that he didn’t put in his eyes in the past, and actually took two steps backward, against the stone door.
The one blocking the way was clearly Zhu Chen Yao, with a few Star Moon Demonesses at his side to protect him in case of any mishaps.
Shi Lei gasped for two mouthfuls of air, looking at Zhu Chen Yao’s cool face, silent and speechless.
The scene from the night of the rebellion reappeared, only the two sides had swapped roles.
“He even made arrangements for this step, so confident?” Shi Lei finally opened his mouth with a sneer on his face, “Sister Zhu, is the prospect of a master and disciple sharing a husband ready?”
Zhu Chen Yao faintly said, “What does it have to do with you?”
“So proud Valley Master, so proud of you, master and disciple like dogs ambling in front of the same man to compete for favor …… ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,……” Shi Lei let out a loud laugh: “This is your victory?”
Zhu Chen Yao faintly said, “So what?”
Shi Lei’s laughter choked in his throat, staring blankly at Zhu Chen Yao’s calm expression. Originally, he had planned to make her distraught and take advantage of the opportunity to break out, but how could she be so calm?
“Chen Yao has never been more than a small woman with little ambition, pleasing a male son but being able to be proud in front of ten thousand people, isn’t that already enough?” Zhu Chen Yao smiled faintly, “And you? You think you’re marvelous, but what have you gained? People are precious in self-knowledge.”
“I didn’t think I was marvelous. I respect Yulin and admire Xue Mu ……”
Xue Mu’s voice came from the back, “You just think that the top sect direct descendants are marvelous, and that everyone else is just an inferior who obediently throws themselves into devotion and dependence. If you are good, you will bestow protection and care, if you are not – ‘I, Shi Lei, will kill you all’. I know this from just knowing you in the battle of the Road Hijacking, and watching your pattern of breaking the game.”
The stone door opened, Shi Lei slowly turned his head and looked at Xue Mu behind him, “Could it be that at that time, those people’s performance couldn’t be killed? If you didn’t, you wouldn’t have been able to withstand your Demon Sect’s advancement at that time.”
“Maybe what you did was a hopeless choice to solve the problem, but ordinary people really don’t think that way, for example, your good friend Yu Lin wouldn’t, and neither would I. It’s not that Yu Lin or I, Xue Mu, are dumber than you, it’s just that we all have different mindsets.” Xue Mu shook his head, “Normally, you and Yu Lin are both chivalrous and righteous, but the crucial moment ultimately reveals the most fundamental difference.”
Shi Lei pondered, “That’s why you and Yulin are closer, and you and I didn’t go deeper after all.”
“Actually, Xue Xin is also a bit intuitive. Although she didn’t see through it and still fought for you for the Rookie Spectrum, she vaguely had the subconsciousness that she wasn’t someone along the way, so she took Chen Yao as her disciple, both to observe and compare, and also to give you a sense of competition and to be able to correct and better your performance. Unfortunately, in your opinion, this is her starting to cultivate her own direct lineage with the intention of preventing you from taking over as the Valley Master……. The Seven Xuan Valley Stone Lineage Rebellion, on the surface it is Shi Buyi who is the leader, but in reality he is ultimately for you as well.”
The color of enlightenment flashed in Shi Lei’s eyes as he praised, “Xue Mu, your eyes can see through people’s hearts, we didn’t lose unfairly.”
Xue Mu said in a low voice, “Although I never recognized you as my friend in my heart, but how can I say that we have also had some friendship of drinking and marching …… I don’t want you to be caught back for trial without the last face. You …… cut yourself.”
Shi Lei looked at Ye Guying, who had revealed himself beside Xue Mu, and knew that he absolutely had no chance of breaking out. He slowly crossed his sword on his neck, his eyes finally flashed with unwillingness, and he said word by word, “You transferred Li Xiaolin from the capital, causing the empress dowager’s side to be empty …… Oh, once she is captured and played with by Ji Wuyou, I really want to see the look of regret on your face when you can’t afford to catch up with her.”
After saying that, seemingly afraid of hearing any retorting words from Xue Mu here, his hand suddenly exerted force and cut his own throat.
Amidst the spattering of blood, his smile with a curse was still visible. But this smile quickly froze on his face, and his last realization clearly heard Xue Mu’s sigh, “To deceive oneself and others, and why bother.”
