Chapter 418: Killing the Goose to Get the Eggs, Borrowing Treasures to Fight the Enemy
Everyone in the square stared in a daze.
The Lord of Chixiao City leaned sideways with his legs bent and knees leaning forward, as if he was kneeling but not kneeling, and was nailed to the flagpole.
His eyeballs were bulging, blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and he died with his eyes open.
Black and red burning spread from the wound on the abdomen, and there was a crackling sound and a burning smell. This was the manifestation of the magical power of the magic weapon, which came with fire poison.
He could never have imagined that he would be killed instantly by this loose-looking, timid and cowardly elder Hei Ku.
This ending also exceeded everyone's expectations.
The Black Skull Demon Lord laughed strangely under his gray robe hood, and actually walked forward and took away the storage bag of the Lord of Chixiao City in front of everyone.
He also took off the two magic weapons in his hands and put them into his bag!
Then he stretched out his sleeve and the black and gold flaming flag flew upside down and inserted into the air behind it, fluttering in the wind and making a rustling sound, looking extremely domineering.
"Pfft!"
The body of the Lord of Chixiao City fell powerlessly to the ground, raising a pool of dust.
"Where's Gao Zuoda? Come over and deal with the body!"
Gao Zuoda immediately led the younger brothers of Xun Gu Sect to clean up the mess of Elder Hei Ku and deal with the useless corpse.
For the first time, they knew that Elder Hei Ku, who only knew how to refine weapons and was elusive all day long in the sect, turned out to be so powerful!
Everyone on the field was previously shocked by the strength of the Black Skull Demon Lord, but now that they have realized what is happening, they are worried and even overly frightened.
Not only did you kill someone, you also took away the storage bag and magic weapon.
This, this, this,
What’s the difference between this and killing people for treasure?
This is a negotiation occasion, and gambling is a communication game. Is this how you play it?
Master Yang quickly stepped forward to explain for it.
"Ahem. Regarding the unfortunate death of the Lord of Chixiao City on the gambling stage, our Lujiang League also expresses deep regret. We will definitely return his remains to Chixiao City and express our deepest condolences to his family."
This statement is too official, but it is necessary in the State of Lu.
The face-saving project must be done well.
As for whether the Xun Gu Church will return the relics to Chi Xiao City afterwards, no one knows.
However, the Black Skull Demon Lord turned around and ordered Mu Yan to come over and whispered to him directly.
"Go, lead your Foreign Affairs Department and rush all the way to Lubei, and take over Chixiao City for me!"
"If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed without mercy!"
"If we don't have enough manpower, we can go back to the Ancient Sect and gather more people!"
Mu Yan nodded and left with the two brothers Shang Lu and Song Zhong.
As for whether he can capture Chixiao City, it depends on his ability.
Anyway, the only Jindan stage cultivator was killed here. Chixiao City is like a hot cake, and everyone wants to get a piece of it.
The four great families in Wangyue City and the four sects in Lunan were also drooling with desire.
However, looking at the Black Skeleton Demon Lord sitting next to him, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and had to suppress his eager urge.
But the remaining fourteen Jindan Zhenren on the opposite side were all scared!
This is simply robbery!
It was clearly a gambling arena, but you killed someone directly and sent people to occupy their lair right away. That's too barbaric!
No one cares?
In fact, in the Lujiang River Basin, the Lujiang League is the largest force, and no one can control it.
The top forces in Lu are now busy with their own affairs and are too lazy to pay attention to these small matters.
Unless you have a special relationship.
The Black Skull Demon Lord relied on the power of the God-Slaying Flying Knife to unexpectedly and severely injure the Lord of Chixiao City. Then, taking advantage of the Lord's confusion, he did not give him a chance to admit defeat and immediately killed him.
The first is to establish authority, the second is to seize treasure, and the third is to grab territory.
It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone!
This coincides with Lin Shan’s idea of renewing the bet!
These two people have been working together for so many years that they have already developed a tacit understanding. They can guess what the other is thinking at once, and they work closely together and are a perfect pair.
Lin Shan smiled and nodded. He had no opinion on the Black Skull Demon Lord taking away the storage bag of the Lord of Chixiao City. This was originally someone else's spoils of war. No matter how much the other party condemned him, he could handle it.
Without the Golden Core True Man, Chixiao City has become a toothless tiger, just a piece of fat meat. Who will stand up for them?
Do you really think your knife is not sharp?
Sure enough, it was just as he expected.
The remaining fourteen Jindan Zhenren on the opposite side were all worried about their safety and did not have the courage to denounce and accuse on the territory of Lujiang League.
When the disciples of Chixiao City saw that their city lord had been killed, they stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to leave or not, and their legs were shaking with trembling.
If I run away now, will people think that Cheng is going to go back and inform on me, and will the Lujiang League hunt me down all the way?
If I stay here, I’m afraid I’ll be detained later.
After all, they have already attacked the old nest, how could they let us, the ones who escaped the net, go?
However, even if they had a hundred courages, they would not dare to run away in front of so many people. They could only hide behind a group of Jindan Zhenren, shrinking their heads and hiding their bodies, for fear of being noticed.
Lin Shan was indeed too lazy to pay attention to these minions and directly ordered the second game to begin.
Since the opponent sent people first in the first game, it is your turn to send people first in the second game.
The first and second players take turns to make the first move, which is fair.
"Master Lin, let me take the second round!"
Master Yang volunteered.
He saw that Elder Hei Ku had set a good example and shocked everyone on the spot, and he felt very excited. He felt that he should also demonstrate his strength and bring honor to the Yang family.
Let everyone inside and outside the alliance see carefully, even if the giant family of cultivation has declined, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse!
however.
Lin Shan simply waved his hand and kindly persuaded him to go back.
"Master Yang has profound cultivation and rich experience, so he should be the last one to appear and provide a backup for our side. In this second round, let Master Zhan Kong go first!"
Master Zhan Kong originally thought that if Master Yang could win the second game, then the best of three would be over, and there would be no need for him to go up and embarrass himself.
But why does Lin Shan’s arrangement feel like he is setting himself up for trouble?
Master Yang also looked hesitant:
"Master Lin, if Yang is lucky and wins the second game, then there is no need to fight the third game, and Master Zhankong can also save trouble, isn't that better?"
"If Yang is unfortunately defeated and his skills are inferior to others, it won't be too late for Master Zhankong to take over."
He did this to take care of Master Zhan Kong who had just made a breakthrough. He might lose face if he went up to play a game, so he decided to take it on himself.
As for the safety of Master Zhankong's life, I was not too worried.
After all, not everyone has the ability to kill people in seconds like Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord.
Besides, this is the Lujiang League’s own territory. If the other side dares to kill people, it is obvious that they don’t want to live and they will definitely not be able to get out of the gate. They are definitely not that stupid.
Lin Shan smiled, took back the two magic weapons he had just obtained from Taoist Qingji in the cliff forbidden area from the Black Skull Demon Lord, and stuffed them into Master Zhankong's hands. This thing had just been repaired, and it looked brand new, shining brightly, and it looked very good to sell.
"Master, I would like to borrow these two magic weapons for you to use. You can simply refine them and return them to me afterwards."
If the owner of the natal magic weapon is dead, then someone else can use it.
Even if there is a risk of loss or interception in the initial stage of the ritual, he is not afraid of the other side taking it away. I don't think they have the courage to do so.
Master Zhankong's eyes lit up. He merely felt the power and without activating it to alert the enemy, he agreed with a smile.
The Jindan Zhenren on the opposite side were all confused and puzzled, looking at the magic weapon in his hand, not knowing what it was.
Seeing that the two men were confident, Master Yang did not insist any further.
Master Zhankong walked up to the stage and bowed to the opposite side with great grace.
"Who are you going to send to fight me? I will take over."
Shi Ensanren glanced at Master Yang, and after weighing the pros and cons, he still walked out with his head held high.
"I'm just fighting with you!"
He believed that he was no match for Master Yang.
I have just lost a game. If this game is given to another person in the alliance, even if he wins, I will definitely lose the last game, which means I will still lose overall.
It’s better to give it a try here.
If he bullies this newbie in the Jindan stage by himself and leaves Master Yang to another master in the middle Jindan stage in the alliance, there is still hope of a comeback.
"Shi En San Ren, right? I have heard of your great name for a long time!"
Master Zhan Kong was busy refining his magic weapon while greeting him with a forced smile.
Shi Ensanren responded with an awkward smile, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes!
When his Happy Forest was just built, he wanted to invite Master Zhan Kong to come over and build a mountain protection formation for him at a low price.
But the old man gave him a long list of materials, as well as various construction fees, processing fees, labor costs, operating costs, maintenance fees, training fees, after-sales fees, etc.
It’s simply a sky-high price!
How could Shi En, a casual cultivator who had worked his way up through hardships and wished he could break a spirit stone into two petals before he gathered a group of people to try to start his own business, afford it?
I just built an array, and you directly asked for a sky-high price. Isn't this just robbing me?
Master Zhan Kong said, don’t you have to decorate the house you buy?
Decoration is actually a technical job.
I can customize the whole house for you, so you can move in with just your luggage. It saves time, worry and effort. It provides star-level experience and quality assurance, and butler service is all in one go. But it won’t cost a lot!
Do you really think that a master-level formation, a mountain-protecting formation at that, is so easy to set up for you?
Anyway, there are only a few formation masters in the entire Lujiang River Basin, and I am the only one you can afford to hire. It’s up to you to do it or not!
In the end, Shi En San Ren was in such a difficult situation and short of money that he gave up the idea of setting up a mountain protection formation.
As a master of formations, Master Zhankong was not someone that an ordinary Jindan-stage cultivator could easily manipulate, so he could only give up.
Shi Ensanren lived frugally all his life. He spent all his savings in the first half of his life to break through the Jindan stage, and in the second half of his life he saved money to buy a second-hand magic weapon.
When his life span was running out, he went to the forbidden area on the cliff and returned empty-handed.
Now that they have finally caught up, they wanted to take a bite before the behemoth Lujiang League collapsed, but ended up biting off an iron wall again.
He just wanted to finish the gambling fight quickly and return safely to his hometown, Happy Forest, to enjoy his few remaining years. He only had a few years left to live happily.
Fortunately, the opponent is Master Zhan Kong.
A newbie who just broke through the Jindan stage, the last of the bottom, the key is that he is still a formation master, without the assistance of the formation, there is nothing to worry about.
After all, it’s impossible for everyone to be as perverted as the Black Skull Demon Lord. He can only be said to be an exception!
The two of them went onto the fighting stage in front of everyone's witness.
"please."
"please!"
They greeted each other.
Shi Ensan took out his only magic weapon, a khaki five-pointed roulette wheel.
On the roulette wheel, each corner corresponds to a spell, which is equivalent to having five spells on the roulette wheel that the owner can use against the enemy.
Looking at this magic weapon with some dents and bumps and an old look, you can tell it's quite old and has gone through several owners.
Regardless of how many hands it has been made, the fact that it has been used for so long and is still strong shows that the quality of its initial refinement was indeed very good!
As the old-fashioned mechanism made a sound, the two concentric circles above and below the roulette wheel began to rotate in the opposite direction.
"Ga bang bang bang~~~"
Of the five areas above, only three were lit up, and the remaining two just flashed and then dimmed.
I don’t know if it’s because Shi Ensanren doesn’t have enough mana to activate it, or if there is some problem with the magic weapon itself.
After the three areas lit up, with the increased input of mana, a musk deer, a small earth forest, and a sandstorm were thrown out!
These should be three different kinds of spells. When the magic ban is activated, their power is infinitely close to that of divine powers. They can be regarded as the original form of magic weapons and are purely auxiliary tools for casting spells.
Magic weapon, magic weapon, treasure that carries the Dharma.
Casting spells through treasures is the true meaning of magic weapons.
However, with the development and progress of weapon refining techniques and the use of various spiritual materials, more diverse functions emerged.
For example, the ultimate killing weapon, the weird poison, the unconventional summoning and teleportation, the special five elements counterattack.
Shi En San Ren's roulette wheel is a proper magic weapon, fair and unbiased, and contains all earth-based spells.
He spent all his life savings on it, and polished it to a shine every day, leaving it as an heirloom for future generations.
Master Zhankong saw the other side taking the initiative, and felt the affirmative gazes of the leader and deputy leader behind him, and his slightly nervous mood calmed down.
This was his first head-on confrontation with a Jindan-stage cultivator. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
Fortunately, the leader and deputy leader were sitting next to him, so they couldn't just watch him get into trouble.
If there is real danger, they will probably stop it or call a halt.
He still has this confidence in the territory of Lujiang League.
So, congenitally, since his life was not in danger, the pressure on him in this battle was not very great.
In addition, the leader opened a back door for him and lent him two magic weapons, which made up for the embarrassment of having cultivation but no equipment.
Originally, gambling and fighting were based on each person's strength.
It's just that Lin Shan is now very arrogant, and the Black Skull Demon Lord has just established his authority. When he wants to lend magic weapons to his subordinates, the other side dare not say anything and can only accept it.
Master Zhankong raised his right hand and tightly grasped the palm-leaf fan of unknown origin, and all the transformed Jindan stage magic power in his body was poured into it.
The fan immediately grew larger, stretching to the height of a person!
He felt the imbalance of the blades and handle, and felt that his head was a little heavy, and he subconsciously understood what he should do.
He raised the palm-leaf fan, pointed it at Shi Ensanren on the opposite side, and swung it down fiercely!
