Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 984 Internal War

"You finally got your wish, congratulations."

The discussion with the patriarch was completed, and Chen Ruo sent Nan Jingbai out of the valley all the way.On the way, the two were still chatting casually.

Originally, if Chen wanted him to stay here, he could take him to the village for a visit or two, but Zhu Shenfeng's patriarch was firm and told him to leave immediately.

Nan Jingbai knew in his heart that the craftsmanship of the clansman was their secret, so naturally he would not let an outsider like himself pry into it easily.What's more, he didn't want to bear the name of "stealing a teacher to learn art". In future competitions, relying on Jianyao Dazong's unique skills, he can win.Otherwise, if the patriarch uses this as an excuse to evade after he wins, it will be difficult for him to explain.

Therefore, he declined Chen Ruo's hospitable request to stay.Before leaving, the patriarch also told him to go back and tell the master of Jianyao that the two sides should choose a good day and auspicious day to start the match.After choosing a day, send someone to deliver a letter to him.Before the success or failure of the event is determined, he will not accept any Yujian contact.For the rest of the time, let the juniors of the two races train well.

Although the same road is still full of vines and traps, Nan Jingbai's mood on the return trip is completely different from the first visit.

"I would also like to thank Miss Chen Ruo for speaking well in front of the patriarch many times." Nan Jingbai cupped his hands in salute.

During this time, he saw everything Chen Ruo did for him.For the patriarch to let go so quickly, it must be Chen Ruo's soft-heartedness.So whether it's "Hei Chenruo" or "Bai Chenruo", they are the ones he needs to thank.

"It's your perseverance that touched the patriarch's grandfather," Chen Ruo shyly fiddled with the ends of his braids, "otherwise, I'm just saying that no matter how much you say, it's useless."

"I don't think we should be humble to each other." Nan Jing smiled, "Besides, we just got an opportunity now. Whether we can succeed or not depends on the competition at the time."

After hearing this, Chen Ruo seriously waved his small fist at him: "During the competition, I will never let you down, you have to be prepared."

In this game, it is indeed impossible to release water.

Earlier in the thatched hut, Zhu Shenfeng's patriarch had told Chen Ruo with a serious face, that if she had released water on Nan Jing for nothing because of personal feelings, with the patriarch's eyesight, she would definitely be able to see through it.Once this kind of behavior is discovered, he will immediately cancel the game, and the cooperation with Jianyao Dazong is completely out of the question.

According to him, winning is winning and losing is losing.Of course, you have to win beautifully to win, and you have to lose with a clear conscience when you lose.

"I also want to experience the true skills of the Zhu Shenfeng clan." At that moment, Nan Jingbai nodded firmly, "Then, let's work together?"

After the two made a war agreement, the exit of the valley gradually appeared in front of them.

"By the way, there is a question I've always wanted to ask you." Nan Jingbai hesitated for a while, and finally asked tentatively under Chen Ruo's affirmative gesture, "Why do you feel like Changed into a different person?"

"Well, this..." Chen Ruo's cheeks were flushed, "Because when I was very young, since I just learned how to refine weapons, almost everyone said that my personality was too soft, and I lacked a sense of 'ruthless'. "Jin, what you do is soft, it is difficult to achieve something like this refining tool."

"However, people's character is not so easy to change. For example, everyone in the clan hates Jianyao Dazong, but I just can't hate them. They can hunt wild animals without mercy, but I just can't do it..." Chen Ruo He lowered his head silently, "However, I really like refining weapons. So I decided to 'split' myself."

"Split...means?" Nan Jingbai was taken aback by the word.

"Every time I pick up the hammer, I keep reminding myself that I am no longer me." Chen Ruo's voice became softer, "I... I just imagined that in my body there is still There lives another soul, her personality is completely opposite to mine, I am timid, she is bold, I am hesitant, and she is decisive. Whenever it comes time to refine the weapon, I will release her...to take charge of this body for the time being."

"Since I am no longer me, she can do for me many things that I could not do or dare not do before. Others say that I am not ruthless enough, so I will show them ruthlessness. This exercise really It's very effective... Slowly, no one says I'm soft anymore."

"However, it may be the sequelae of practice. Now as soon as I hold the iron in my hand, I will subconsciously switch my personality. During this period... Did it scare you?"

In order to refine the weapon, let her be a delicate girl, willing to imagine herself as a shrew... Ruthless, is it really that important in the refining of the weapon?Nan Jing Bai thought hard for a long time.

……

After returning to Jianyao Dazong, Nan Jingbai didn't care about resting, and immediately reported the latest news he brought to the suzerain.

"Unexpectedly, the Zhushenfeng clan let go of their mouths. They also said that as long as we beat their junior disciples in the joint competition between the two clans..." The master of Jianyao was silent for a long time, his eyebrows were finally counting. Stretched for the first time in months.

"Jing Bai, you did a good job this time and made great contributions. Maybe hundreds of lives of my Jianyao Dazong were saved by you!"

"Sovereign, don't say that." Nan Jingbai quickly bowed, "I grew up in Jianyao Dazong, and this is my home. Isn't it natural to do something for your family?"

"By the way, Jingbai," another elder caressed his white beard, and asked beside him, "Have you met the little girl from the Zhushenfeng clan, what do you think of her skill in refining weapons? Are you sure she can win?" past her?"

"This..." Nan Jingbai thought for a while, "I haven't seen the scene of her refining tools, but she is a person who will use all her strength when she picks up a tool. With such spirit, it is not difficult to think about her skills." Never bad."

Seeing that all the elders around were deep in thought, Nan Jingbai quickly added: "However, this competition is related to the life and death of Jianyao Dazong, and I will definitely go all out!"

"Without the certainty of victory, do you just go all out?" As soon as he finished speaking, a somewhat indifferent mocking voice suddenly sounded from behind, "How can you let us rest assured that we will entrust our lives to you?"

Walking slowly came a handsome young man and an elder with white hair and white eyebrows.The one who spoke just now was the young man with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

His name is Geng Jiaxing, and he is the nephew of the elder beside him.At a young age, he was brought by the elders to learn art, and he got the best training in the sect.However, perhaps because of his self-reliance, he always has a certain desire to win against Nan Jingbai, who is widely favored by the suzerain and all the elders.Perhaps such jealousy and strife are not uncommon in every sect.

"Sovereign, it's really gratifying to congratulate the Zhushenfeng family for letting go." The elder with white eyebrows also said slowly, "But, in the suzerain's heart, do you have a candidate for the competition?"

"What?" Jianyao Sect Master glanced at Nan Jingbai, "Since the match was negotiated by Jingbai, let him play."

"Yeah, I didn't see him to talk to at the beginning, and I didn't come out until he finished his work, didn't he just want to pick up a ready-made bargain?" Some disciples who had a good relationship with Nan Jingbai complained in a low voice.

Everyone knows that if you can join hands with Zhu Shenfeng clan to successfully repair the ancient artifact, you will not only be rewarded by Jiuyou Temple, but in today's era of advanced communications, as long as you can stay on the hot search list for a few days, you can immediately become famous world.

Although repairing artifacts may not have anything to do with young people like them, netizens are always keen on gossip.At that time, the cause and effect of this game will definitely be uncovered.As the key person who contributed to this alliance, and the talented young man who overwhelmed the Hidden Ancient Clan, he would surely become the leader of the younger generation of refiners.It was entirely reasonable for Geng Jiaxing to want to seize this opportunity.

But it was precisely because everyone knew what he was planning, that this "afterthought" behavior was spurned by many brothers and sisters.It's like two people working together to refine a weapon, and someone else completed 99 steps independently. You only took over the last step, and the whole world shouted that this weapon was made by you alone, and it should only be named after you. Shameless ?
"Everyone, you can't say that." Facing the accusations of everyone, Geng Jiaxing still smiled leisurely, "If it's just a momentary dispute of loyalty, I don't have to argue with Junior Brother Jingbai on this matter, but this What matters is the final answer of the Zhu Shenfeng clan, in other words, it is the future of everyone here! The matter is of great importance, so naturally it cannot be taken lightly."

"However, you don't have to worry, I have the fairest method here." Geng Jiaxing glanced around and grinned, "Anyone who thinks they are qualified to participate in the competition can stand up. Inside our sect, we will compete first by ourselves." One game. The one who wins in the end will represent the sect and compete with the Zhushenfeng clan, what is the sect's idea?"

The master of Jianyao pondered for a while, and finally nodded under Geng Jiaxing's expectant eyes.

"What Jiaxing said makes sense, Jingbai, what do you mean?"

Since it was a game of destiny, it was natural to select the best disciples to play.As for who is the best, there is no basis for empty talk, and a real match is indeed the best way to select.

However, it was Nan Jingbai who was talking about the game, and the suzerain didn't want to chill him too much, so he asked him a question out of the principle of respect.

Nan Jingbai knew that Geng Jiaxing had come prepared, and his words were well-founded. If he had to refuse in this match, he might not be able to convince the crowd.

"It just so happens that I also want to hone my skills before the official competition to make up for the shortcomings." Nan Jingbai said, and bowed his hands to Geng Jiaxing, "Then I ask Brother Jiaxing to give me some advice."

Geng Jiaxing's smile deepened: "Don't worry, I will make you realize my 'deficiencies'."

……

This "inside the sect" competition didn't take much time. After the hasty preparations of both sides, the prelude kicked off on the huge square inside the sect in the afternoon a few days later.

In front of Nan Jingbai and Geng Jiaxing, there was a No. [-] large stove each, and the threatening heat wave billowed up, submerging their faces in the gushing white smoke.

The elders sat on the judges' seat, while the disciples formed a circle not far away, watching nervously.

Originally, according to Geng Jiaxing's proposal, "anyone who is interested in participating can sign up", but perhaps these disciples thought that their skills were not as good as Nan Jingbai's, and they didn't want to be a thorn in Geng Jiaxing's side. Yes, no one else signed up.So this match became their personal final.

After several hours of continuous polishing, the weapon embryos that the two of them devoted their efforts to forge have a faint tendency to take shape.

"Judging from the proficiency of the technique, it is true that Jingbai is better." The elders on the referee table were talking in low voices.

"Yes, although Jiaxing's speed is faster, when the two of them refine the formed weapon, in terms of strength, durability and other aspects, it must be a mirror-white weapon, which is more excellent and durable."

Although the situation on the court was almost one-sided in favor of Nan Jingbai, it didn't affect Geng Jiaxing's mood.

At this time, he is in the final step of refining the weapon.

Both hands quickly formed seals, and a golden formation vaguely formed. As the layers of complicated formation patterns were written, Geng Jiaxing also let out a clear cry, and suddenly pushed his fingers forward.

"Complete!"

The golden pattern was branded on the top of the weapon, and the light flickered for a moment before it was completely integrated into it.And this long sword, which slowly rose upright, immediately exuded an unparalleled killing atmosphere, and it shook the sky.

Every refiner can be said to be a formation master as well.The way of forming an array is a skill that they must practice simultaneously with the refining equipment.As for whether a weapon is powerful or not, apart from whether the casting material itself is sharp enough, the formation technique imprinted in it is also the most important thing.In many cases, spiritual practitioners use spiritual power to activate the formation pattern, which can also stimulate the hidden power of the weapon.

But this is not to say that a refiner can completely replace the position of a formation master.There is a specialization in the art industry, and what the refiner can do is to imprint the formed pattern on the embryonic embryo, and those who are real masters of formation, they can manipulate the formation and change it ever-changingly, as an aid in battle.This is not a field that a refiner can set foot in.

"Successful!" Nan Jingbai on the side shouted loudly, controlling with both hands, the golden lines converged into a brilliant array, and kept pressing down towards the inside of the sword.

From the majestic coercion emanating from this magical weapon, everyone can already judge that if this weapon is successful, it must be better than Geng Jiaxing.

The strange thing is that Geng Jiaxing didn't rush, he still raised his eyebrows and sneered, taking a leisurely look at Nan Jingbai.

"boom--"

Just when the golden pattern was about to completely merge with the weapon, suddenly, the surrounding air twisted violently, the surging air flow squeezed and collided with each other, and the air pressure quickly broke through the critical point, and the weapon in front of Nan Jingbai The embryo exploded with a bang, and the sharp fragments scattered all over the ground.

The high temperature burning in front of the stove is still unabated, and Nan Jingbai has painstakingly refined the embryo, which has reached the final step, but there are only fragments left on the ground.All of this feels so unreal.

Even the referee's seat fell into chaos. Not only did Nan Jingbai lose, but he couldn't even complete the casting of the weapon.Perhaps all along, they have overestimated the strength of this disciple?In any case, a contestant who cannot refine weapons is definitely not qualified to participate in the competition between the two races!
