After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 404: On par with the Venerable! The Capital Alliance!

"With your current strength, it would be difficult for ordinary venerables to defeat you."

Looking at Jiang Che's expression and recalling the powerful pressure he exerted when he summoned his Dharma image before, the Red Blood Demon Lord sighed sincerely.

Jiang Che smiled but said nothing.

Because that's the truth.

Although the gap between a Venerable in the late stage of Divine Appearance and a Grand Master of Dharma Appearance is huge, the problem is that he is not an ordinary Grand Master of Dharma Appearance. When he was in the early stage of Divine Appearance, he was able to rival a Grand Master of Dharma Appearance.

Now, he has entered the Dharma Realm, and his physical body has even entered the Supernatural Power Realm.

There are no more shortcomings in my body.

The dual cultivation of magic and body, coupled with his impressive methods.

It’s not a bad idea to say that I can rival the Venerable without any problem.

The Red Blood Demon Lord nodded slightly, and then asked no more questions.

Because he really didn't know what to say at this moment.

In fact, the Red Blood Demon Lord was mentally prepared for Jiang Che's strength to surpass his. After all, Jiang Che was the real number one genius in the Central Plains, and he had the four great visions of heaven and earth accompanying his infant transformation.

He even attacked the Northern Barbarian Prince Zagumu and defeated him with a crushing force.

Its own strength is beyond doubt.

He just didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Looking back to when they first met in the Red Blood Secret Realm, Jiang Che was just a True Dan Grandmaster with good qualifications. It was only by relying on the Divine Transformation Talisman that he was forced to compromise, but they got along well afterwards.

Jiang Che also respected him very much. After all, his knowledge and strength were far beyond Jiang Che's.

But now, Jiang Che has surpassed him in every aspect.

Although he is slightly lacking in knowledge, this is only a minor problem. With Jiang Che's talent, he will be able to surpass him sooner or later. As for strength, it is actually difficult for him to help Jiang Che now.

The opponent's strength is far beyond his current strength.

Unless he recovers to his peak state, he can't defeat Jiang Che at this moment.

But how difficult is it to recover to the peak and rebuild the body?

He had always been counting on Jiang Che to help him after he became a saint.

But given the current situation, it is almost impossible.

Of course, Jiang Che's rapid growth was what he expected, but he found it difficult to accept the psychological gap for a while. He said a few words casually, encouraging Jiang Che to recuperate as soon as possible.

He walked alone to the top of a distant mountain and looked into the distance.

"Fellow Daoist Chixue is right. The most important thing for you now is to recover well. The previous attempt was too dangerous. You should still put your safety first, especially when it comes to fusing the Dharma images.

I haven’t heard of it yet, so I have to be careful.”

Seeing the Red Blood Demon Lord leave, Zhao Xianzhi's tone became much more intimate.

Admittedly, her relationship with Jiang Che could not be hidden from the Red Blood Demon Lord who had always been following Jiang Che, but she was still an outsider after all, and she was also a person who cared about her reputation, so it was impossible for her to show it.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Patting Zhao Xianzhi's delicate palm, Jiang Che nodded.

"boom!"

A roar suddenly erupted above the calm East China Sea, causing waves hundreds of feet high in the water. Endless sword energy turned into a long river, pouring towards Jiang Che.

Carrying the power of heaven and earth, its edge covers the sky.

Faced with such an attack, Jiang Che did not dare to be careless at all. As soon as he thought about it, a true dragon image quickly condensed behind him, and he swung his dragon tail, emitting a surge of vitality.

Bombarded above the long river of sword energy.

The shock wave of the explosion instantly dissipated in all directions.

Wait until heaven and earth are quiet.

There were only two figures standing between heaven and earth.

It was Jiang Che and Zhao Xianzhi.

The reason why they fought was actually just to compete with each other. More than half a month had passed since the day of the breakthrough.

Jiang Che is a grand master in the realm of physical supernatural powers. Although he does not have the supernatural power to regenerate severed limbs, his own recovery ability is equally strong and he has already recovered as before.

However, he did not rush back to the capital, but chose to stay on the sea to compete with Zhao Xianzhi in order to measure his own strength so that he could have a deep understanding of himself.

Several competitions.

Zhao Xianzhi gradually improved his strength to cope with it.

Jiang Che also roughly understood the extent of his own strength. Generally speaking, if Zhao Xianzhi was the judge, if he used all his strength, it would be no problem for him to rival an ordinary Venerable.

But if a sword master like Zhao Xianzhi used his full strength, he would still be inferior.

After all, the offensive power of sword cultivators is obvious to all.

However, when Zhao Xianzhi was at the peak of his Dharma state, he was already able to rival the Venerable.

With his current strength, he is definitely considered a strong one in the Venerable realm.

If his father-in-law did not use the Qi family's holy soldiers, it would be difficult for him to defeat Zhao Xianzhi.

This shows how powerful it is.

Unless he continues to use the dual-phase fusion method of "Law of Heaven and Earth", he can gain an advantage, but at present, that method can only be used as a trump card.

Once the fusion lasts for more than ten breaths, he will find it difficult to withstand the backlash of that power.

Unless Jiang Che's strength continues to grow, the time can be extended.

However, as his strength grows, his Dharma image and blood-energy will also grow. How long he can hold on remains to be seen.

"Sometimes it's really hard to believe that you are only in your twenties now." Zhao Xianzhi also sighed sincerely.

She possessed an extremely yin body comparable to a saint's body. She had practiced hard for hundreds of years and cut off all emotions and desires before she entered the realm of the venerable. But what about Jiang Che? He was only in his twenties.

She herself felt that this speed of cultivation was too abnormal. If it was not the reincarnation of a great being, it would be difficult to explain this situation.

The most crucial thing is that Jiang Che has not only entered the Dharma Realm, but also possesses strength comparable to that of a Venerable. If she does not use all her strength, she will not be able to gain the upper hand in the fight with Jiang Che.

Jiang Che smiled, not wanting to talk more about this topic. He walked forward and hugged Zhao Xianzhi's slender waist in a familiar manner, taking a deep breath:

"The competition is over, let's start the next one."

Feeling the strong hand on her waist, Zhao Xianzhi pursed her lips and neither refuted nor pushed it away.

If she felt a little ashamed facing Jiang Che before, now, after more than half a month of contact, she has basically accepted Jiang Che from the inside out.

Of course, she is not keen on matters between men and women.

The reason why this is the case now is simply because Jiang Che brought her too much benefit when he practiced with her.

When she risked a breakthrough before, she had to give up most of her extremely yin energy, but she also lost nearly half of her foundation, which was extremely disadvantageous for her future efforts to reach the realm of Martial Saint.

She thought it would take a lot of time to recover, but practicing with Jiang Che would be enough to make up for half a month of hard training. She admitted that she couldn't resist taking this shortcut.

In addition, when Jiang Che practiced with her, he could make the yin and yang energy in her body more balanced. With so much benefit, she felt that no one could resist it.

"Which move are you going to use today?"

"Turning the River and the Sea Style!"

Just as Jiang Che was lingering in the land of gentleness, Purple Dragon Dharma King Dongfang Mingyue, who had returned from the East China Sea, also returned to the Qingtian Sect headquarters, went into seclusion, and began to impact the realm of Martial Saint.

at the same time.

In the capital, undercurrents are also surging at this moment.

People in the streets and alleys were discussing the peace talks between the Great Zhou court and the Northern Barbarians' court. This was arranged by the Qingtian Sect and the emperor had intended to push for it.

It took only a short time to formally begin consultations and talks.

As for the Mountain God King Ji Chengdao, he remained silent on the peace talks. He neither agreed nor opposed. His tacit approval made the matter almost unusually harmonious.

Princess Wenhao of Emperor Yuankang was also in high spirits and felt that as long as the peace talks were successful, he would be able to free up his hands to start rectifying the Central Plains. During this process, several princes, especially the third prince Ji Changsheng, worked hard to promote this matter.

On the one hand, it was because of the persuasion of the Crown Princess Xu Qiuyue, and on the other hand, he wanted to regain the face he had lost from Jiang Che before.

The banquet was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either. However, people from all walks of life in the court and the public did not think highly of him. They thought he was too impulsive and had poor interpersonal relationships.

For this reason, some forces that originally intended to support him chose to waver.

This made him both angry and helpless.

We can only try our best to deepen our influence.

Let everyone in the court and the country know that he still has hope of competing for the throne.

"Don't worry, mother. The peace talks have basically come to an end. There will definitely be no more mistakes. As long as this can be accomplished, the previous losses can be compensated."

In Fenghe Palace, Ji Changsheng was in high spirits.

"Your Majesty has been pushing this matter very hard. It's great that you can seize the opportunity, but you can't let your guard down. Your mother has ordered people to investigate Jiang Che's past.

I found out that this person has an extremely bad temper. He is vindictive and would destroy families in Yuezhou at will. He will definitely not let it go after we have had a grudge. "

Queen Xue Bai'er was still as charming as ever, but her face could not hide the solemn expression.

Ji Changsheng sneered when he heard this:
"Destroy the whole family. Jiang Che doesn't have the guts to destroy my whole family. As for this man's threat, there is no need for me to say more. I understand it, but I am a prince after all.

No matter how arrogant he is, can he really dare to fight me to the death?"

Queen Xue narrowed her eyes:

"By the way, speaking of this person, why haven't I heard any news about him recently?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know that Jiang Che has already left the capital. It is said that he has gone to the south to pick up his family. I think it will take some time for him to come back."

"That's good too. Without him getting in the way, Mother will feel more at ease."

Although on the surface Xue Bai'er showed a noble and graceful demeanor towards Jiang Che, in fact, she was still quite wary of him. After all, behind Jiang Che was the Godly King who could influence the situation in the court.

"Mother, please take a rest first. I will take my leave now. I have already contacted Qiuyue and will let me meet with the Northern Barbarian envoys. We are in the process of peace talks now.

If I can maintain a good relationship with the Northern Barbarian Prince, I will surely make my father happy."

Ji Changsheng bowed and prepared to leave.

"Alright."

Xue Bai'er nodded and did not stop him.

The capital city, the envoy's post house.

Zagumu, Limuzhen, and the priest Sufeng gathered together and set up restrictions around them to prevent outsiders from spying.

"There are basically no problems with the peace talks. As long as we take a step back, it will be possible." Su Feng was very happy, although Zagumu was defeated by Jiang Che this time.

resulting in failure to achieve the stated objectives.

But his trip this time was not in vain. After several efforts, he almost reached an agreement with the Central Plains court. As long as the Central Plains court agreed to withdraw its troops, they could take advantage of the situation and march southward.

With the help of the Qingtian Sect, this matter will be easier than imagined.

Such a great achievement is enough to win him the favor of the Heavenly Khan and even the Barbarian Temple, and he may have the opportunity to become a Martial Saint in the future.

As for the peace agreement.
Paying some price is not unavoidable.

As long as the Northern Barbarians want to, they can tear it off at any time.

Limuzhen nodded slightly:
"Can you give me the things from Qingtian Sect?"

"Of course. If our Saint Clan's army succeeds in its march southward, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Qingtian Cult. How dare they go against our wishes?"

Su Feng curled the corner of his mouth.

As for the peace talks, not only can they get a gift from the imperial court, but the Qingtian Sect will also have to show sincerity, and most of these things will fall into their hands.

"The only pity is that I was defeated." Among the three, only Zagumu's face looked unhappy. Thinking back to the battle of Yanglongtan, it could be said to be the greatest shame of his life.

Not only did they lose, but they lost miserably.

It is foreseeable that when he returns to the grassland, he will inevitably be ridiculed by those brothers.

“This defeat is not entirely a bad thing. You have always been too confident. It is actually a good thing to suffer some setbacks. The high priest once said that without setbacks, it is difficult to achieve great things.

Let Jiang Che show off his might for a while. When our Saint Clan's cavalry marches south, we will let him know that an individual's bravery cannot influence the true situation of the world.

If Jiang Che is ordered to use his troops, you might have a chance to see him as a prisoner."

Su Feng comforted.

But Zagumu's face still looked unhappy:
"If I lose, I lose. If I rely on the power of the Saint Clan to defeat him, what kind of ability is that? One day, I will personally avenge myself and defeat Jiang Che fairly."

"It's good as long as you have this intention."

Li Muzhen said:
"Fighting is actually a small matter. You should understand that negotiating peace is the real purpose of the Saint Clan. Even if we lose, it will not affect the overall situation. What we need to do now is to sign a contract.

And return safely to the grassland."

Zagumu frowned slightly:
"The entire Central Plains court supports peace talks. Even the Qingtian Sect's Central Plains rebels secretly support us. Is there any danger?"

"Things in life are unpredictable. We must be more prepared. After all, this matter is of great importance. If something happens to us, the peace talks will probably come to a standstill."

Su Feng said in a deep voice.

If anything happens to them, the Prairie King's Court will inevitably send troops south. This is not because they are so important, but because it is necessary to do so if they continue to negotiate peace regardless of their lives.

With the intelligence of people from the Central Plains, they will definitely be able to find out what's going on.

Therefore, their safety is very important.

"You are the ones who make the decision on these matters." Zagumu stood up and left. He was not interested in these things and was still thinking about the shame that battle brought him.

The defeat to Jiang Che dealt a heavy blow to his self-confidence.
