Different from what is described in Shuangwen's novels, cultivators' fighting skills is actually a very rare phenomenon in the world of cultivation.
Because being the first to attack others and being counter-killed by the other party is a legitimate defense permitted by heaven, and the merit of the person who counter-attacks does not need to be deducted. If a cultivator accidentally kicks an iron plate, the result will be death. No one will make fun of his own life.
In most cases, cultivators are still accustomed to negotiating to solve problems. Even if it is a battle of wits, they usually agree on three chapters in the form of an arena and stop at the end.
The most typical example is Yang Lu. He has been in the world of cultivation for three years, and has experienced more storms and waves than ordinary Nascent Soul monks. But even for such an influential figure, except for the unlucky Lin Dong,
I haven't even killed the second cultivator with my own hands.
As for the fighting skills of the Nascent Soul Stage monks, especially the deadly fight between Mingzhu and Chu Zhe, most of the great Golden Core Stage monks may not have the opportunity to witness it even if they live their entire lives.
After witnessing the life-and-death confrontation of the Yuanying monks, and then feeling the unfathomable aura of Ancestor Mingzhu, the rest of the people's heads were a little down for a while, and no one dared to take the initiative to talk to them.
In the end, Yang Lu said with a relaxed face: "With Senior Mingzhu in charge of the overall situation, Chu Zhe must not be able to do anything. By the way, how is your merit? Have you completely reversed the process of becoming obsessed?"
Glancing at the headless body of Chu Zhe's incarnation, Mingzhu Patriarch lowered his head and looked at his hands, and said with satisfaction: "Seizing a body is a serious crime that cannot be tolerated by heaven. The merit of killing Chu Zhe's incarnation can even be given to him under normal circumstances.
For monks who have no merit accumulation, nearly three golden wheels of merit are enough to make up for most of the merits deducted for breaking the oath. Although my merits are still in extreme shortfall, there should be no life-threatening danger for the time being... Consultant Yang, we are here
It was a pleasure cooperating with you!”
Yang Lu quickly cupped his hands and said, "You're welcome!"
Seeing Yang Lu and Patriarch Mingzhu chatting and laughing like old acquaintances, Cheng Shida, who had just recovered, asked in confusion: "Consultant Yang, what on earth is going on?"
Yang Lu did not hide it, but explained with a smile: "In order to communicate with Senior Mingzhu, we have actually lifted some of the restrictions in the cell, and the damage to the main restrictions in Qishan Prison has further damaged the integrity of the restrictions in the cells.
As long as the Yuanying stage monks cooperate with some clever formation methods, they can quietly bypass the restrictions and launch a fatal blow. However, Senior Mingzhu only had one chance to make a sneak attack just now, so I dare not take the risk to communicate with you.
, please don’t be offended!”
With Patriarch Mingzhu supporting Yang Lu, he would not be offended even if he borrowed Cheng Shida's courage.
But when did Mingzhu understand the methods of formation?
Even if his cell confinement is incomplete, trying to crack some of its functions quietly is not something a layman can do, and no one has heard that Mingzhu has this ability!
However, Mingzhu just said with an enigmatic expression: "Consultant Yang's words are wrong. The demonic energy has entered my body just now, and my strength is probably comparable to that of a great monk in the late Yuanying period. Even if he makes a move in an upright manner, Chu Zhe may not be able to
Catch my sword!"
Yang Lu didn't believe Mingzhu's boastful statement at all.
If Chu Zhe really couldn't catch his sword head-on, how could Mingzhu have to wait until the opponent was most careless before taking action?
He should have acted recklessly long ago!
However, Yang Lu currently has to rely on Mingzhuhu's fake power, so he will naturally not expose the opponent's boast.
Although Ming Zhu and Yang Lu gave explanations, they still did not answer the key question that Chu Zhe asked just before his death:
Why on earth does Ming Zhu want to help Yang Lu?
You must know that Mingzhu did not hesitate to go crazy and tell the truth before, and maliciously arranged for three ascended immortals. It was because he had only ten years left in his life and had no intention of living for a long time. But why did he do it after just a few minutes?
, Mingzhu suddenly changed his mind and broke out in a desperate struggle for survival again?
On the surface, it seems that Yang Lu's persuasion worked.
However, everyone just had Chu Zhe's Nascent Soul incarnation watching from the side. It was impossible for Yang Lu to mingle with Ancestor Mingzhu under this person's nose. Even if Chu Zhe's Nascent Soul avatar's spiritual consciousness level was still only at the level of the golden elixir,
It's not something that a mere monk in the Qi Refining Stage of Yang Lu could deceive, not to mention that even Fu Zhibin, who was standing next to him, didn't notice the clues...
After calming his thoughts for a while, Cheng Shida asked again: "Consultant Yang, what agreement did you reach with Ancestor Mingzhu?"
Yang Lu smiled mysteriously and said: "The secret must not be leaked!"
Ancestor Mingzhu, who was standing behind Yang Lu, also crossed his arms and looked disdainful to argue.
If before, Yang Lu dared to play tricks with him at such a critical moment, Cheng Shida would have changed his face a long time ago. However, now that Yang Lu has the power of the Mingzhuhu fake tiger in the Nascent Soul stage, Cheng Shida has to forcefully put on a show.
He said magnanimously: "In that case, I won't inquire about Brother Yang's secrets!"
However, what Cheng Shida didn't notice was that a strange-looking ring appeared on Mingzhu's finger at some point!
It turned out that when he just visited Mingzhu in prison, Yang Lu discovered that the door of Mingzhu's cell was not solid, but an invisible transparent barrier. Under normal circumstances, this transparent barrier was stronger than the wall, not only the physical object but also the sound.
It can't penetrate, and even the monk's spiritual consciousness will be blocked.
However, after everyone who visited the prison passed their identity verification, the protective function of this transparent barrier was mostly weakened. Not only can people on both sides of the barrier talk freely, but sound waves can penetrate at will, and there is no mana fluctuation or aggression.
Mortal objects can also be delivered back and forth across the barrier.
Previously, in Qishan Prison, there were golden elixir-level felons who sent letters to their relatives and friends through the barrier. Cheng Shida once proudly mentioned that helping wealthy golden elixir-level felons deliver letters was also the main source of extra income for their prison guards, and some even
At that time, the prisoner's designated delivery recipient was dead and the letter could not be delivered at all. The prison guards even thoughtfully pretended to be the delivery recipient and pretended to write a reply to the prisoner, just to make the prisoner obediently hand over his property.
And this kind of made-up reply is rarely seen through by prison inmates who are extremely poor in the spiritual world. According to Cheng Shida, the prisoners received spiritual comfort and the prison guards received spiritual stone coins. This is clearly a win-win situation!
However, since this transparent magic barrier can deliver mundane letters, it should also be able to deliver other objects without mana fluctuations. After Yang Lu personally verified this feature through the pebbles in the dungeon, he pretended to inadvertently use his spare
The cultivation switch was thrown into the cell of Ancestor Mingzhu.
Since the Cultivation Switch itself is a translator similar to a codebook, it does not have any magical powers or mana fluctuations. It can only automatically switch between natural language and formation language. Therefore, it can be easily thrown away like pebbles and letters.
Arriving at Mingzhu’s feet.
And when Yang Lu threw this thing in, he didn't actually do it to plot against Chu Zhe.
After all, Chu Zhe hadn’t shown up yet!
He originally wanted to find an opportunity to secretly flirt with Mingzhu behind Fu Zhibin and Cheng Shida's back. Although these two people seemed to be chatting and laughing with Wang Ziwei, Yang Lu was always uneasy about them and could use some of his own trump cards.
Always good.
However, following Mingzhu's suicidal revelation, Yang Lu gave up this useless attempt. After all, the other party was already dead in the futures whose life had entered the countdown. Even if he had the cultivation level of Nascent Soul, he really couldn't find anything.
The surplus value that can be extracted.
But as Chu Zhe appeared, the situation was completely different.
Yang Lu quickly realized that in today's Qishan Prison, only Mingzhu could compete with this man.
Of course, Yang Lu does not necessarily have to blend with Mingzhu. He actually has two completely opposite choices at hand:
The first option is to rescue Mingzhu and kill Chu Zhe;
The second option is to directly threaten Chu Zhe to let him go.
The success rates of both methods are not small.
Just like Ming Zhu was able to plot against Chu Zhe only with the help of Yang Lu, Chu Zhe also had a secret that must not be revealed, that is, he once took away his direct disciple.
Chu Zhe didn't realize that this secret had been sent by Yang Lu to Tian Beixi and Lin Musen outside through the cultivation switch. Therefore, as long as Yang Lu used this fatal secret to threaten the other party, the other party might not choose to compromise.
So should I choose Mingzhu or Chu Zhe?
After careful consideration, Yang Lu chose Mingzhu.
This is mainly because Chu Zhe is not only deep-minded, but also ruthless in his behavior. Not only can he pretend to be crazy and act stupid to deceive the entire Gui Yi Sect, but he has even poisoned his direct disciples.
Not only that, the accomplices in the escape operation in the upper echelons of Qishan Prison actually did not know the secret of Chu Zhe's Yuanying incarnation. Chu Zhe had no need to kill them. He only needed to kill the people at the bottom of the prison. However, Chu Zhe
In order to avoid long nights and endless dreams, Zhe killed them all.
When you cooperate with such a ruthless person, you will inevitably worry about being bitten back.
In contrast, Mingzhu is obviously a straight person.
Not only did this guy say whatever he thought of, but all his emotions and sorrows were displayed on his face. He even said that he was obsessed just to say it happily. In addition, when he was young, this guy was also raped more than once.
Various forces used it back and forth. First, it was used by the Ascending Immortal to assassinate the Ascending Immortal, and then it was used by the Ascending Immortal in turn to harm the Semantic sect.
What's more important is that betraying one's own sect and using the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation level to assassinate an Ascending Immortal is such a defiant act. Normal people really can't do it if they don't have the spirit of a fool.
This kind of person is obviously much more trustworthy than Chu Zhe!
Tian Beixi also supported Yang Lu's decision.
In order to help Yang Lu, she also pretended to casually chat with Tian Daxiao about Wang Sandao and Mingzhu during this period. Tian Daxiao did not know that her direct disciple was trying to trick her and told her a lot about these two people.
of gossip.
Among them, Tian Daxiao’s evaluation of Mingzhu is: Although this person is narrow-minded, selfish and only interested in profit, he is really not a big villain because he does not have the character and structure...
This also strengthened Yang Lu's confidence in cooperating with Mingzhu.
Mingzhu didn't realize what the strange stone Yang Lu threw in was at first, but when Chu Zhe showed up, Yang Lu quietly took a few steps back and pointed the same ring on his hand towards Mingzhu.
The ancestor shook it, and then pointed at the "strange object" that fell on the ground. Mingzhu picked it up with understanding.
And when he received the message from Yang Lu from the Infinite Sea of Void through the switch, he might not have noticed it if he hadn't been at the Nascent Soul stage. He instantly understood the use of this item.
It was also through the cultivation switch that Yang Lu reminded Mingzhu that as long as he could kill Chu Zhe's Nascent Soul incarnation, he would be able to gain immeasurable merit and become a demon, thus reversing his own obsession. And if he was willing to cooperate with Wang Sandao
He could also take advantage of this opportunity to escape from prison without spending the rest of his life in Qishan Prison.
Although Mingzhu only had more than ten years left to live due to the damage to his spiritual foundation, there was a huge difference in whether he spent those ten years in Qishan Prison or in freedom.
Originally, he chose to suicidally break the news to Yang Lu and others, mainly because he did not know the true purpose of everyone's trip at the time, otherwise he would definitely use various threats and inducements to coerce everyone to let him out. However, when he forced everyone to
After seeing the true story, he himself has fallen into an irreversible obsession. Now that Yang Lu has given him a chance to make a new choice, Mingzhu is instantly moved.
And Yang Lu didn't let Mingzhu struggle for long, he quickly added another heavy chip.
He told Mingzhu all the three tests of the Ascending Immortal and the secret of the true inheritance of the Ascending Immortal by passing the three tests, and expressed that he was willing to swear to the law of heaven if there was anything in the Ascending Immortal's legacy that could help him recover.
He was willing to tell Mingzhu free of charge about Shouyuan's methods or the secrets behind the Jiuzhou cultivation world.
Although Mingzhu is a dignified ancestor of Yuanying, Yang Lu offered two conditions, but they were both temptations that he could not refuse!
As a result, the subsequent negotiations between the two parties hit it off immediately, and they soon made a rather strict oath of heaven to each other. Then Yang Lu asked Lin Musen to join the call, and he quietly broke some of the restrictions in his cell by lighting candles with his fingers.
This process actually took a lot of time, but because Chu Zhe insisted on eradicating the roots, he first killed the accomplices of Cheng Shida and Fu Zhibin before coming over to deal with a few people. This also gave Yang Lu and Mingzhu ample preparations.
time.
Then Mingzhu took advantage of Chu Zhe to activate his killing move and when his mental defenses were at their lowest, he suddenly launched his strongest killing move across the boundless sea of void——
Eternal calamity in the future!
If it were a normal situation, Mingzhu's sneak attack would not have been so smooth. However, Chu Zhe's Yuanying incarnation had only Yuanying level cultivation, but his spiritual consciousness was still at the third level of the golden elixir of Chu Zhe's body. Therefore, he
He didn't realize that Mingzhu Yuanying's third-level consciousness was locked at all, so Mingzhu Ancestor subdued him with just one move.
If the move Mingzhu Patriarch just made did not severely damage the opponent and put the opponent on guard, he might not have the chance to use the second move. But fortunately, the final result is still good, which also gives the dominance of the entire jailbreak operation.
