Chapter 59 Bargaining

Gu Xu looked at Shangguan Jin's figure dancing nimbly among the flying blades in the sky, his eyes focused and calm.

Under his control, these handleless flying blades formed a deadly array, blocking almost all possible escape routes for Shangguan Jin at carefully calculated angles.

This is a dragnet made of metal.

In this dark space, there is a silvery white light.

Gu Xu believed that if the opponent was an ordinary second-level monk, then even if he had the same powerful true energy as Shi Xiaohan, it would be difficult for him to avoid all flying blade attacks.

However, Shangguan Jin did this almost impossible thing.

For Gu Xu, this was unexpected and reasonable.

After all, Chu Fengge had told him that the members of the "Shenji Battalion" were carefully selected from all the provinces of the Daqi Dynasty and could not be mediocre people.

He will never underestimate his opponents.

At the same time, relying on the rich knowledge in his mind, Gu Xu also recognized that the movement technique used by his opponent was the top-grade martial arts created by Luo Chuan, the leader of the Exorcist Division, and was famous for its weirdness and unpredictability - "Meteor Walking on the Moon"

”.

This kind of movement is said to be able to conceal the secrets of heaven, like meteors falling from the sky, making it impossible to predict the next landing point.

That being said…

But in fact, Gu Xu had read in the Taoist Canon that "meteors moving around the moon" seemed irregular, but in fact they relied on the stars in the sky to determine the coordinates.

There must be a correlation between the position of the stars and the whereabouts of the other party.

"Perhaps, I can follow this idea and decipher the opponent's movement skills." Gu Xu thought secretly in his heart.

Gu Xu does not have such wonderful magical powers as "Heavenly Calculation".

But he has the talent of [knowledge and strong memory].

The location of the other party's appearance every minute and every second was firmly remembered in his mind.

As long as he wants, he can replay every scene in his mind during the battle without missing any details.

He believes that as long as he collects enough samples, the accuracy of his predictions will continue to improve.

…………

In this way, two young people with extraordinary talents in the "Shenji Camp" began a fierce battle on the mental level.

One is doing data calculations, and the other is doing image analysis.

For a time, the two were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell the winner.

But Gu Xu’s talent of [Unfortunate Genius] is not just for show.

He felt that in the process of analyzing the opponent's actions, he was gradually comprehending the mysterious footwork of "shooting star walking on the moon".

He learned incredibly fast, as if he had already mastered this magic in his mother's womb.

If he were asked to make gestures now, he would even be able to imitate a 60-70% resemblance.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

Shangguan Jin is tired of this endless stalemate.

She no longer planned to rely on her body skills to dodge the opponent's blade that followed her like a shadow.

She decided to take the initiative and launch a winning attack.

So, she moved forward and disappeared into the dark night.

According to her plan, she would appear on the opponent's right side in the next second, while leaving her own afterimage on the opponent's left side, thereby confusing the opponent's perception.

As long as the opponent hesitates for a moment, she can slit the opponent's throat with the flashing green blade in her hand, and then end the fight neatly.

According to the predictions she made using "heavenly calculations", this plan has a 99% success rate.

Almost perfect.

"I'm tired of this boring game," she said to herself as she stared at the opponent code-named "Suzaku" hidden in the fog, "it's time to end it."

However, in the next second, something unexpected happened.

Shangguan Jin did not appear where she expected.

Instead, he stepped on the air, fell off the ring, and fell heavily to the ground outside the ring.

According to the rules of "Realm of Taoism", as long as you leave the scope of the arena, it will be considered a failure.

really.

In the vast darkness, a clear line of text emerged:

"Suzaku, wins."

Shangguan Jin's eyes stayed on this line of text for a long time.

Some are disappointed, some are surprised, and some are confused.

She didn't expect that she would lose.

Nor did he expect that the other party could actually interfere with "Meteor Walking on the Moon".

How did he do it?

Is he really just a second-level monk?

…………

After a while, Gu Xu returned to the real world from the "realm of discussing Tao".

He slowly stood up from the bamboo mat and stretched.

Sitting cross-legged on the bamboo mat for a long time just now made his legs slightly numb.

At this moment, the "God Machine Token" in his hand suddenly started to shine.

Then a line of text appeared in his field of vision——

[Linghu: I gained a lot from my battle with my fellow Taoist today. My fellow Taoist’s skills are amazing, and I feel ashamed. I just have a question that I can’t figure out. I hope my fellow Taoist can give me some advice.]

It turns out that this "magic token" can also be used to chat privately!

The saints of the Daqi Dynasty really knew how to play!

Gu Xu sighed silently.

Then he thought about it and replied:

【Suzaku: What's the problem?】

[Linghu: I really want to know why fellow Taoist was able to interfere with my "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique just now? 】

Gu Xu was silent for a moment.

[Suzaku: Why should I tell you? 】

This time, he waited for a full five minutes before seeing the other party's response.

[Linghu: Hee, fellow Taoist is really stingy. How about I use the "Golden Light Divine Curse" to exchange the answer to this question with you? As long as you master the "Golden Light Divine Curse", you can use golden light body protection to avoid being attacked by evil spirits.

Sneaking hurts the soul. This deal is a very good deal for you!]

[Suzaku: I have already mastered the "Golden Light Divine Curse". 】

[Linghu: What about the "God's Curse to Destroy Illusions and Eliminate Disasters"? 】

[Suzaku: I have learned this before. 】

[Linghu: What about the "God's Curse to Purify Heaven and Earth"? 】

[Suzaku: I can do this too.]

[Linghu:...]

……………

Luo Jing, Exorcism Department Headquarters, Retreat Room.

Shangguan Jin frowned slightly as he looked at the new news on the "Shenji Token" and didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.

She felt that the guy codenamed "Suzaku" was simply the most difficult person to communicate with that she had ever seen in her life.

But Shangguan Jin has always been a stubborn person.

Whatever she wants, she will try her best to get it. Sometimes, no matter how high the price is, she doesn't care.

[Linghu: Is there anything that fellow Taoist wants? As long as I have it, I can exchange it with fellow Taoist. 】

…………

This fellow Taoist looks very persistent!

Otherwise, take the opportunity to kill him severely?

After seeing this news, Gu Xu secretly thought to himself.

In his opinion, this guy named "Linghu" can master such high-grade martial arts as "Meteor Walking on the Moon", so he should be a big businessman.

He tentatively replied:

[Suzaku: I want a middle-grade skill, is that okay? 】

Gu Xu had wanted to change a skill a long time ago - mediocre and bad street skills like "Guiyuan Jue" seriously restricted his cultivation speed.

The other party immediately replied——

【Linghu: No problem.】

This time it was Gu Xu's turn to be surprised.
Chapter completed!
