Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 577 Mr. Iron Sword: Young people shouldn't be so arrogant!
Third Sister, Third Sister!
Ni Wenjun held Hua San Niang and called out anxiously. At this moment, he reached out and transferred his own internal energy into Hua San Niang's body. As the energy circulated, Hua San Niang closed her eyes tightly, but her eyelashes twitched.

Ni Wenjun immediately saw a glimmer of hope: "Third Sister, Third Sister!"

At this moment, Su Yunjin also came to Hua San Niang's side: "Brother Ni, quickly feed this to Sister Hua."

Ni Wenjun was taken aback and looked at Su Yunjin. Su Yunjin said, "This is a life-saving pill that Jiu Si gave me. As long as you haven't completely stopped breathing, you can save your life. Don't hesitate."

"well."

As Ni Wenjun spoke, he immediately stuffed the pill into Hua San Niang's mouth. The pill was indeed potent. As soon as she swallowed it, Hua San Niang coughed and then spat out a mouthful of blood. She then began to cough softly.

Cough cough cough...

With a cough, Hua San Niang woke up and saw Ni Wenjun as soon as she opened her eyes. At this moment, Hua San Niang said, "Husband, cough cough, why are you here?"

Ni Wenjun looked at Hua San Niang, who had just woken up, and said, "San Niang, you're finally awake! You're finally awake! Hehe..."

As Ni Wenjun spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. He had almost lost his third wife just now; he really had.

At this moment, Ni Wenjun wiped away the tears on his face. Who says that men don't easily shed tears? It's just that they haven't reached the point of heartbreak yet.

At this moment, Hua San Niang looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "Husband, why are you still crying?"

Ni Wenjun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and laughed, "I'm not crying, I'm just sweating from all the battles!"

Hua San Niang chuckled and said, "My husband is lying."

Ni Wenjun didn't reply, but Su Yunjin came up and said, "Sister Hua, are you alright?"

Hua San Niang chuckled and said, "It's alright. That thief's sword was fast. Fortunately, Zhou Chu bumped into the thief, causing the thief's sword to deflect by half an inch and avoid his heart."

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun said, "I must thank Brother Zhou for this."

Zhou Chu, clutching his still-bleeding head, said, "Hehe, it's nothing. I just didn't expect that thief's protective aura to be so strong. I originally wanted to knock him away, but I ended up with a bloody head instead, while this guy was completely unharmed."

Hua San Niang then looked at Su Yun Jin and asked, "Yun Jin, are you alright?"

Hearing this, Su Yunjin laughed and said, "I'm fine, all thanks to Sister Hua for protecting me!"

"Hehe, of course. We are sisters who have been through thick and thin together. Back in Mianshui County, I said I would protect you, and I still keep my word."

Hearing this, Su Yunjin was very moved and immediately said, "Sister Hua, this place is dangerous, and you are injured. You should leave quickly."

Hua San Niang replied, “If the city falls, where will be a safe place? Besides, Sang Zhi has already been sent away, so I have no worries. Today, I will accompany my husband to fight in this Huangzhou Prefecture!”

Hearing this, Ni Wenjun looked at Hua San Niang and said, "Wife, why don't we listen to Sister Yun Jin? This Huangzhou Prefecture City!"

Hua San Niang said, "My husband is determined to fight to the death here, and Yun Jin is unwilling to retreat even half a step. If the city falls, I'm afraid none of you will survive. Why must I be the only one left to live in this world? Isn't that boring!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun said, "But there are still mulberry branches!"

Hua San Niang chuckled and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Sangzhi won't be bullied if she stays with the Chen family. Wu Hong is also an upright man, and he will protect them. In short, wherever my husband is today, San Niang will be there!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun looked at Hua Sanniang and after a long while said, "Alright, since Sanniang says so, then there is nothing else to say. Today you will stay on the city wall and watch your husband kill the enemy!"

As he spoke, Ni Wenjun stood up and said to Zhou Chu and Jin Yanzi, "Take good care of the two of them."

Zhou Chu and Jin Yanzi clasped their hands in greeting and said, "Yes!"

At this moment, Ni Wenjun arrived at the edge of the city wall, looked at the corpses on the ground, and then looked at Zhao Pusheng, Zhang Xiaotian of the Songshan Sect, and Abbess Juexin of the Hengshan Sect not far away.

At this moment, Ni Wenjun spoke up directly: "Things have come to this point, there is only one battle left. The victor shall be respected. Please, everyone!"

As soon as Ni Wenjun finished speaking, Zhao Pusheng rode up and joined Zhang Xiaotian and Abbess Juexin from the Chongshan Sect. Then, Zhao Pusheng looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "Ni Wenjun, don't be arrogant. Don't think that you can turn the tide just because you broke through in battle. Today's battle is not something that a martial artist who has just entered the Fusion God Realm and whose realm is not yet stable can turn around. If you surrender now, I will guarantee the safety of your family, okay?"

"You will continue to be the Grand General of our Tianyuan Empire, and we will forgive and forget your past offenses."

Upon hearing Zhao Pusheng's words, Ni Wenjun laughed and said, "Zhao Pusheng, you are Lao Peng's eldest apprentice, and Lao Peng has devoted a lot of effort to you. But do you ask yourself if you have done right by Lao Peng?"

"Old Peng hopes you will build a Buddhist kingdom where everyone is equal and happy. Look at the mess you've made of Hubei, especially your Xiangyang Prefecture, which is a living hell."

"Ask yourself honestly, have you done right by Lao Peng?"

Ni Wenjun stood atop the city gate and angrily berated Zhao Pusheng. Upon hearing this, Zhao Pusheng calmly replied, "Hehe, I'm sorry, my master."

"Did my master do right by me?"

At this moment, Zhao Pusheng also completely erupted, looking at Ni Wenjun and saying, "You know my master, he likes freedom and practices Hinayana Buddhism. What is Hinayana? Hinayana is about cultivating oneself and not cultivating external things."

"But what about him?"

"But he conceived the idea of ​​establishing a Buddhist kingdom where everyone is equal. Is this something a Hinayana Buddhist practitioner should pursue?"

"The result was just as I guessed. He broke away from the Zoroastrianism and established the Maitreya Sect. Then, he didn't care about any of the sect's affairs, big or small, and became a hands-off manager. It was I who gradually promoted the Maitreya Sect and brought it from weakness to its current greatness."

"Ask him, aside from the fact that he came up with the name 'Maitreya Sect,' what other specific affairs within the sect has he done!"

"Fine, it's one thing for him to not care about things, but he also likes to plant people in the sect. You, Ni Wenjun, ask yourself honestly, what contributions have you made to the Maitreya Sect? Why should you want a share of the spoils after our Maitreya Sect has conquered the world, and why should you want to stand up to me? Why! Tell me why!"

Zhao Pusheng questioned Ni Wenjun.

Ni Wenjun frowned slightly upon hearing Zhao Pusheng's words. He hadn't expected Zhao Pusheng to have this mindset all along. Indeed, from Zhao Pusheng's perspective, Ni Wenjun had come to reap the rewards.

When Lao Peng brought Ni Wenjun into the sect and gave him a high position, the Maitreya sect did indeed gain some influence.

And soon after, he occupied the entire Hubei region, while he himself had not made any outstanding contributions to the development of the Maitreya sect. In this light, wasn't Ni Wenjun just a reaper?

This is why Zhao Pusheng and Ni Wenjun are so at odds.

You weren't there when the Maitreya Sect was poor and destitute. But after the Maitreya Sect gained its own territory and became the dominant force in Hubei Province, you suddenly appeared and became a general. Isn't that stealing credit?

Of course, Peng Yingyu is indeed to blame for all of this.

Someone who studies Hinayana Buddhism insists on studying Mahayana Buddhism, what kind of Buddhist kingdom is this?

After failing to govern the Buddhist kingdom, they came up with the idea of ​​finding a perfect emperor, and that perfect emperor candidate was Xu Shouhui.

This man, born with extraordinary signs and the auspicious sign of Ziwei descending to earth, became the emperor of Peng Yingyu's dreams.

This led to Peng Yingyu's recommendation of Xu Shouhui as emperor after conquering Hubei.

Ultimately, it was Peng Yingyu who violated the principles of his cultivation method.

Theravada Buddhism emphasizes escapism, meaning that the establishment of an empire is irrelevant to him. However, he immediately set himself a grand ambition to establish a Buddhist kingdom.

He felt he was not cut out to govern the world, so he used the theory of destiny to find a Xu Shouhui who was a reincarnation of the Purple Star.

It is hoped that he can lead the Tianyuan Empire to final victory and make it the Buddhist kingdom he envisions.

but……

He overlooked one point: the world cannot be governed by fate alone. And his actions were unbearable for his eldest disciple, Zhao Pusheng, who was also the true administrator and pioneer of the Maitreya Sect.

Good heavens, I worked so hard, racked my brains to make this cake bigger, and before I even had a bite, you, Peng Yingyu, just took it and gave it to someone else?

Even if you are my master, so what? Have you ever respected me?
Zhao Pusheng was full of grievances, which is why he went too far in his actions. Moreover, there was no way to resolve this matter unless Ni Wenjun got out of Hubei and gave up the entire Hubei territory. Otherwise, he would never be on good terms with Ni Wenjun and Chen Jiusi behind Ni Wenjun.

There's no right or wrong in this matter, only taking sides. Zhao Pusheng is not wrong. Why should you take a big bite out of the big cake I made?

Similarly, Ni Wenjun and Chen Jiusi were not wrong either. Ni Wenjun had a good relationship with Peng Yingyu, and Peng Yingyu arranged a position for him. He accepted the position out of face, and besides, wasn't the so-called Grand General just an empty position?

The power he built was entirely supported by Chen Jiu Si; what does it have to do with his Maitreya Cult?

As for Huangzhou Prefecture, that's even more absurd. It was developed by Chen Jiu Si bit by bit. Now Zhao Pu Sheng wants to drive him out of Huangzhou Prefecture and seize it, which is even more impossible. Why should Zhao Pu Sheng give you the place that Chen Jiu Si has painstakingly built up?

Therefore, this is a dead end, there is no solution.

Of course, some people might ask, "That's not right. If Zhao Pusheng is trying to steal the cake from others, the person who should be hated the most isn't Ni Wenjun, but Xu Shouhui, who is the biggest beneficiary."

It's true that Xu Shouhui was the biggest beneficiary, but he was weak and had a terrible reputation. Getting rid of him was much easier than getting rid of Ni Wenjun. Therefore, Zhao Pusheng deliberately stirred up a conflict between Ni Wenjun and Xu Shouhui, so he could use Xu Shouhui to eliminate Ni Wenjun. After all, it was Xu Shouhui who ordered Ni Wenjun's execution, so what did it have to do with Zhao Pusheng?
Even if his master, Monk Peng, asks about it in the future, it will be because Xu Shouhui gave the order. Besides, didn't you say, Master, that Xu Shouhui is the emperor of destiny, here to save the people? Then you can expose all the bad things Xu Shouhui did to Peng Yingyu.

What will happen to my master who hates evil like poison?
Believe in fate? Or follow your heart?
However, no matter what happens in the end, he will definitely regain power in the Tianyuan Empire. At that time, Zhao Pusheng might very well be able to sit on the throne as emperor. This is Zhao Pusheng's idea. Today, he is carrying out the first step of his plan, which is to kill Ni Wenjun. Thinking of this, Zhao Pusheng looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "Ni Wenjun, now that things have come to this, do you have anything to say?"

Ni Wenjun frowned and looked at Zhao Pusheng, saying, "There's nothing more to say now that things have come to this. But isn't it a bit too arrogant of you to think you can attack my Huangzhou Prefecture?"

Hearing this, Zhao Pusheng said, "Hehe, Ni Wenjun, you only broke through one level and entered the Furnace God Realm at the last minute. Your realm is not stable yet. With your current strength, you may not be able to defeat the three of us in the Furnace Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun narrowed his eyes slightly, and then with a loud bang, he flew up from his spot. The next moment, with another loud bang, he landed directly on the ground and said, "Whether I can win or not, we'll know soon enough."

After speaking, Ni Wenjun suddenly released his martial arts illusory image, buzzing loudly.
With a buzzing sound, an eight-story tower immediately appeared on the spot. However, the eighth story was still somewhat illusory. Ni Wenjun broke through at the last minute, which resulted in his realm not being stable. His strength could only be exerted at about 80% of the Molten God Realm.

Seeing this, Zhao Pusheng's eyes narrowed and he said, "Go!"

The next moment, he rushed forward, and at the same time, the martial arts phantom behind him also appeared. His martial arts phantom was the Anan sword stuck up the mountain!

The sword of wisdom cuts through the mortal realm, and Ananda vanquishes the demons.

call out!
With his twin swords drawn, Zhao Pusheng made his move.

Zhao Pusheng brandished his twin swords, his movements fluid and unpredictable, as he launched a direct attack on Ni Wenjun. Ni Wenjun, seeing the sword coming at him, neither dodged nor evaded, but instead met the attack with a punch.

This punch has the power of a God-Melting Realm expert, I ask you, can you withstand it!

At this moment, seeing Zhao Pusheng make a move, Zhang Xiaotian, the surviving leader of the Chongshan Sword Sect of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance, a man whose name sounds like that of a protagonist.

Then there's the Hengshan Sword Sect, where the old nun Abbess Juexin directly took action.

The nunnery is also interconnected. This Hengshan Sect leader, Abbess Juexin, can be linked to the Emei Sect in terms of time of birth. Moreover, in terms of seniority, she and the Emei Sect leader, Abbess Juemie, are of the same generation, both belonging to the "Jue" generation.

Seeing this scene, the two knew it would be difficult to escape unscathed. However, the thought of the tragic death of Mo Busan, the leader of Hengshan Sect, sent chills down their spines.

At this moment, Juexin looked at Zhang Xiaotian, and the two nodded, then attacked together.

Abbess Juexin directly released her martial arts illusory image, which was a Buddha with a male and female appearance. It turned out to be Cihang Daoren, also known as Guanyin.

Then a statue of Guanyin appeared behind her.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaotian of the Chongshan Sect activated his Qi, and his martial arts illusory image appeared behind him. This martial arts illusory image was truly extraordinary, as it was a crimson black tiger.

At that moment, the two rushed directly towards Ni Wenjun.

Ni Wenjun then unleashed his Eightfold Tower power, fighting against three Furnace Realm experts alone.

Boom, boom, boom!
The battle was exceptionally fierce, with sand and stones flying everywhere, and the clash of swords exuding boundless killing intent, sending chills down one's spine.

Seeing this fierce battle, Mr. Iron Sword, sitting behind the great formation, said, "These younger generation, to be honest, do have a few geniuses. It's a pity that with the great calamity approaching, those so-called geniuses will be the ones who die the fastest!"

Thinking of this, Mr. Iron Sword remained silent, watching the battle unfold before him with a calm demeanor.

Danglanglang~
Just then, the iron sword on Mr. Iron Sword's back began to hum. Mr. Iron Sword then pressed down on the iron sword and said, "Hold on to one more person. It's not time for you to make your move yet."

[Ananda vanquishes the demon!]

[The Guanyin Sending a Child Pose!]

[The Crimson Tiger Devours the Sky!]

On the battlefield, the three opponents shouted out the names of their moves, each name more imposing than the last, and each move more powerful than the last.

The three unleashed their strongest attacks, and in the next moment, a golden blade energy inscribed with Buddhist characters, a sword energy that multiplied from one to three and then from three to nine, and a crimson black tiger attacked directly towards Ni Wenjun.

These three moves contained terrifying power. Along the way, one could see sand and gravel flying everywhere, and a terrifying aura rushing straight towards Ni Wenjun.

Ni Wenjun stood there and saw everything before him. His gaze sharpened, and the next moment he saw the eight-story tower behind him suddenly emit a terrifying white light.

The white light eventually condensed on Ni Wenjun's body, and then it could be seen that Ni Wenjun's fist was filled with terrifying white energy.

At this moment, Ni Wenjun, seeing the three incoming attacks, shouted, "Eight-Story Tower—"

[Awe-inspiring!]

boom!
A terrifying white light blasted towards them, carrying a formidable fist-like aura. Wherever it passed, the air crackled and popped...

An incredibly bright white light swept through the entire space, giving everyone an unprecedented sense of violent energy.

At that moment, they were met with three terrifying attacks.

The blade energy, sword energy, and crimson tiger energy collided violently with the white fist energy.

boom!
A deafening roar, the earth shook, and then...

Ni Wenjun was knocked back three steps by the huge shockwave before he finally came to his feet. Three heavy footprints were left on the ground, and blood gushed from his mouth.

On the other hand, Zhang Xiaotian of the Chongshan Sect and Abbess Juexin of the Hengshan Sect were directly blasted away by the shockwave of this attack and crashed to the ground with a thud.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and on the other side, Zhao Pusheng was also blasted away. However, he was quite skilled. Seeing that things were not going well, he lowered his body and plunged his twin swords into the ground. He flew nearly a hundred meters across the ground, and the twin swords sparked as they scraped against the ground before finally stopping.

"Wow!"

Immediately afterward, a mouthful of blood spurted out. Seeing this, Ni Wenjun grinned, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Zhao Pusheng, hahaha, you've lost! Now retreat!"

"Cough cough..."

Zhao Pusheng slowly stood up from the ground. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly felt as if his bones had been broken. He was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth and looked extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, Zhao Pusheng looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "Ahem... Ni Wenjun, I have to say, the Fusion God Realm is indeed the Fusion God Realm. There is only a thin line between you and me, but the combat power we have shown is so different. It seems that I still need to enter the Fusion God Realm!"

Ni Wenjun said, "Since you know this, why don't you withdraw your troops!"

"Heh, if I had come here by myself today, I'm afraid I would have already withdrawn my troops, but I'm not the only one who's come today!"

As he spoke, Zhao Pusheng suddenly turned around, bowed, and cupped his hands towards Mr. Iron Sword, saying, "Please, sir, make your move!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun looked directly toward the military tent, where he had seen a person sitting there earlier, along with a master!
Meanwhile, everyone on the city wall held their breath. They had thought that Ni Wenjun's victory would allow them to escape this calamity, but it turned out that the enemy had even stronger experts waiting for them!
Thinking this, everyone looked in that direction.

Just then, someone clapped and exclaimed, "Good, good, good! As expected of the renowned junior from Jiangnan, Ni Manzi, you actually managed to break through on the battlefield. You really are quite reckless!"

As the applause began, the crowd saw a man of average height, about five feet tall, dressed in green clothes, slowly approaching. What caught their eye most was the iron sword with its hilt wrapped in cloth that he was carrying on his back.

Ni Wenjun was also the first to sense the terrifying aura emanating from this guy. If he hadn't entered the Melting God Realm, he might not have known how terrifying this aura was. But after entering the Melting God Realm, he immediately understood the strength of this realm. This was not the aura of a first-stage Melting God; it was probably a second-stage one!

Thinking of this, Ni Wenjun's expression turned serious.

The man slowly approached the front of the battle. At this moment, the entire battlefield was quiet. On the city wall, Zhou Chu frowned and said, "Where did this dwarf come from?"

Upon hearing this, Golden Swallow exclaimed, "This person is quite competitive!"

Zhou Chu also fell silent. Indeed, although he had mocked the man's physique, he had to admit that this guy was really strong.

At this moment, Ni Wenjun looked at the emerging Master Tiejian, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Junior Ni Wenjun, a disciple of Daoist Songqing, greets senior."

Upon hearing this, Tie Jian said, "When I saw you using the Nine-Story Tower Technique earlier, I knew you were Song Qing's disciple. I didn't expect you to be able to break through on the battlefield. I must say, Song Qing has found a good disciple."

"Senior is so complimentary."

Ni Wenjun quickly clasped his hands in greeting.

"I still don't know your honorable name, senior!"

After introducing himself, Ni Wenjun inquired about Tie Jian's background. Tie Jian replied, "Hehe, I am Tie Jian of the Taishan Sect!"

Taishan School?
Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun was taken aback. Then he remembered that two generations back from the new leader of the Taishan Sect, there was a leader known as Mr. Iron Sword.
He was a highly accomplished person of his time, but hasn't he been dead for nearly thirty years?
Ni Wenjun looked at Mr. Tiejian with great surprise. Tiejian looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "There's no need to look at me like that. I've only been dead for thirty years. In a while, even ghosts that have been dead for forty or fifty years might come out. Why make such a fuss?"

"I have learned a great deal."

Ni Wenjun behaved with great respect, after all, this Mr. Iron Sword was far stronger than himself.

Mr. Iron Sword was very satisfied with Ni Wenjun's attitude. He looked at him and said, "Hmm, I like your attitude. Since that's the case, I'll give that old Taoist Song Qing some face. You can take your woman and leave Huangzhou City. I won't take your life!"
