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

Chapter 578 Junior, you don't even have the right to make me draw my sword.

Ah!
Upon hearing Mr. Tie Jian's words, Ni Wenjun's face instantly turned ugly. He then clasped his hands and said, "Sir, you are a reclusive master. Why wade into the muddy waters of the world and get involved in this pointless war?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Iron Sword narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean by 'unprovoked war'? Your city lord of Huangzhou Prefecture, what's that Chen Jiu Si guy? Isn't he very arrogant?"

“On Bright Peak, he killed the leader of my Huashan Sect and destroyed the prestige of the Sword Alliance. How can I forgive such a heinous person? Otherwise, others will think that my Five Mountains Sword Alliance has no masters and is just an unknown small sect.”

"Further words are useless. Today, I will use Huangzhou Prefecture to establish my authority, and I will use Chen Jiu Si's family as a reference to deter the world. I want to tell you that anyone who dares to provoke my Five Mountains Sword Alliance will not have a good end. These are my words, Iron Sword!"

"I see that you are Fellow Daoist Song Qing's disciple, and I also see that you broke through before the battle. You are clearly a person with good fortune. I can't bear to see you perish here, so I'm giving you a way out. You must cherish it, young man!"

Mr. Tiejian looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "Mr. Tiejian, Huangzhou Prefecture is my brother's foundation. Now that my brother is gone, I promise to protect his family and guard this city."

"I would never dare to do anything that would be so cowardly as to fear death. I'm afraid I'll spoil your mood today, sir. There's no way I'll agree to what you've said!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Iron Sword's face darkened immediately. He looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "Young man, it seems you've been too kind to me?"

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun said, "If you are willing to spare the people of this city, as well as my brother's family, then I, Ni, will be very grateful!"

snort!
Upon hearing this, Mr. Iron Sword's face darkened, and he snorted angrily, saying, "Fine, fine, what a ungrateful wretch! You released the people of the city and the Chen family's relatives. Then my trip here was in vain."

"Young man, my patience is limited. You'd better not force me to kill you!"

"It's not easy for the Songqing Sect to produce a junior like you. If you anger me, I won't hold back."

Mr. Iron Sword looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "If you release us, sir, then release the entire city of Huangzhou Prefecture. If you do not release us, then kill me along with you!"

"it is good!"

Mr. Tie Jian exclaimed "Good!" and then looked at Ni Wenjun with icy eyes, saying, "You really won't listen to reason, so I won't give Song Qing any face."

"Please!"

Ni Wenjun clenched his fist suddenly, and the next moment his martial arts illusory image, Ba Chonglou, appeared behind him. Looking at Ba Chonglou in front of him, Mr. Iron Sword's eyes narrowed and he said, "Hmph, you junior, you have just broken through to the mere Fusion God Zero Turn and you are already so arrogant. I was already at the Fusion God Zero Turn forty years ago."

"Come, let this old man tell you what the true Fusion God Realm is!"

After saying this, Mr. Iron Sword stomped his foot, and his robes, beard, and hair flew up, as if a terrifying power was emanating from him.

The strength of a second-stage Fusion God is extremely powerful.

At this moment, the terrifying pressure made Ni Wenjun unable to straighten his back, but Ni Wenjun did not give in. Instead, he gritted his teeth and persevered, looking at Mr. Iron Sword with bloodshot eyes and said, "Please!"

Having said that, he clenched his fist and then delivered a powerful punch to Mr. Iron Sword: [Heaven-Shaking!]

The fist was the same fist as before, the same fist that had just defeated Zhao Pusheng and the other two. Now, it slammed into Mr. Iron Sword.

Mr. Iron Sword did not make a move. He stood with his hands behind his back and watched the punch come at him without dodging or avoiding it. The punch slammed into the five meters in front of him.

boom!
The terrifying fist force entered within five meters of Mr. Iron Sword, and suddenly the terrifying fist energy vanished without a trace, leaving everything calm and serene, as if nothing had ever existed.

Seeing this, everyone present was startled, as they couldn't even get close to the other party.

Mr. Iron Sword then chuckled, hands behind his back, "Why do you still hold the same idea, refusing to back down even in the face of death?"

Ni Wenjun frowned slightly and said, "Martial Arts Space!"

Mr. Iron Sword said, "Hehe, that's right. You've also entered the threshold of the Fusion God Realm. You should know more about this martial arts space than I do."

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun sensed his own martial arts space, which was only three inches away from his body. It was far from comparable to Mr. Iron Sword's five-meter martial arts space. However, it's not true that a large martial arts space necessarily means a powerful one. Martial arts spaces also have a characteristic: there is a certain degree of repulsion between two martial arts spaces. In other words...

"If I get close, even your martial arts space won't be able to harm me!"

Mr. Iron Sword remained calm and said, "What you said is quite right. Once you enter the Fusion God Realm, it is difficult to control your opponent with just your martial arts space. Although my space is much larger than yours, I cannot affect the first three inches of your body."

Ni Wenjun said, "Then as long as I hit you, I can also injure you, right?"

Mr. Iron Sword said, "Hehe, that's right, but it only counts if you can hurt me."

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun said, "How do you know I can't hurt you before we've even made a move!"

After saying that, Ni Wenjun rushed directly towards Mr. Iron Sword and smashed his iron fists down.

[The Eight-Story Tower - Earth Shakes!]

With a bang, Ni Wenjun threw a punch at Mr. Iron Sword. Seeing Ni Wenjun's punch coming, Mr. Iron Sword dodged to the side with a light touch. At this moment, Ni Wenjun attacked again. Mr. Iron Sword pointed lightly with his right hand in a sword-finger gesture, and a terrifying sword aura rushed straight towards Ni Wenjun.

Ni Wenjun did not dodge. He clenched his fist and met Mr. Iron Sword head-on. The punch slammed into Mr. Iron Sword.

At that moment, the fist and the sword-finger collided with a loud bang, and a terrifying shockwave radiated outwards, raising dust into the sky.

boom!
At the same time, Ni Wenjun was blasted away and crashed to the ground with a bang, raising clouds of dust.

At this moment, Mr. Iron Sword slowly emerged from the smoke and dust, looked at Ni Wenjun on the ground and chuckled, "Junior, you don't even have the right to make me draw my sword, yet you still refuse to admit defeat. Do you really intend to lose your life here?"

"Cough cough..."

As the smoke cleared, Ni Wenjun, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Tie Jian approaching and said, "Mr. Tie Jian, release everyone in Huangzhou Prefecture, and I will surrender!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Iron Sword sighed and said, "It is true that one can escape the calamities of Heaven, but one cannot escape the calamities of one's own making. Since you are like this, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

As he spoke, Mr. Iron Sword slowly raised his right sword-like fingers. At that moment, Ni Wenjun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clenched his fist, and shouted loudly, "Ah~"

As his roar resounded, the martial arts phantom behind him, the Eightfold Tower, became even more prominent.

At the same time, Ni Wenjun's face was full of determination; this battle would decide their life or death!

"Drum! Beat the drum!"

At this moment, Hua San Niang, who was on the city wall, saw this scene and quickly reached out to grab the drumsticks. How could her husband's heroic act be without a drum?

She was about to stand up, but she was too weak, so Su Yunjin said, "Let me do it."

Hua San Niang said, "No, I want to help my husband. Everyone, please help me."

Hearing this, Su Yunjin's expression turned solemn: "Sister Hua, this is enough, really enough. You and Brother Ni should leave now and preserve your health..."

Su Yunjin was about to continue speaking when Hua Sanniang stopped her. Hua Sanniang looked at her and said, "We are brothers, we share life and death, and a promise is a promise. If we are brothers, we will share life and death; if we are sisters, we will share hardships!"

"Don't try to persuade us to leave. You know we won't leave. Even if we die in this battle, it's better than trying to escape."

"Otherwise, if Sangzhi asks me in the future how Brother Chen Li's mother died, how should I answer? Should I say that your father and I were cowards who abandoned hundreds of thousands of people in Huangzhou Prefecture and your brother Chen Li's aunt to live on alone?"

"Ahem... Sister, I can't say this. Your brother Ni and I are both men of honor. Let's not bring this up again. Help me up, I want to beat the drums for my husband and cheer him on!"

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Su Yunjin's eyes: "Sister, why bother?"

Hua San Niang then glanced at Su Yun Jin and said, "Why don't you abandon the city and flee?"

"I?"

Su Yunjin was speechless for a moment. Hua Sanniang said, "Hehe, don't say that just because you, Su Yunjin, are a heroine, does that mean we, husband and wife, are cowards..."

"That was not what I meant!"

Su Yunjin spoke up, and Hua Sanniang raised her hand and said, "What you mean is not important. What is important is that my mind is made up."

"Swallow, lend your sister a hand."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yanzi immediately stepped forward to support Hua San Niang and transferred her own internal energy to her. With this external power replenishment, Hua San Niang's body suddenly regained its strength.

At this moment, Hua San Niang glanced gratefully at Jin Yanzi, who nodded without saying anything more.

At this moment, Hua San Niang picked up the drumsticks that Su Yun Jin handed over, walked slowly to the city drum, and then swung the drumsticks.

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
With each strike of the drumsticks, everyone felt as if their hearts were being pounded. At this moment, Ni Wenjun, who was getting up from the ground, slowly raised his head and saw Hua San Niang beating the drum. A look of relief flashed across his face, and then his gaze turned firmly to Mr. Tie Jian.

"Please enlighten me, sir!"

At this moment, Mr. Iron Sword glanced sideways at Hua San Niang, who was beating the drum on the city wall, and said, "What a foolish woman. Isn't it good to be alive?"

Ni Wenjun's face darkened as he said, "Mr. Iron Sword, please watch your words. It would be bad if our battle involved women and children."

Mr. Iron Sword chuckled and said, "Do you think this is a feud between江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) members?"

"How could the battlefield not involve women and children!"

After saying this, Mr. Iron Sword looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "I'll give you one last chance to take your woman away. Otherwise, if you die, your woman will likely suffer the same fate. That guy named Xu Shouhui is incredibly cruel and perverted..."

Ni Wenjun's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, but he still said, "I said, I won't back down!" Mr. Iron Sword replied, "Then don't blame me."

As he spoke, Mr. Iron Sword reached out, and in the next moment, a broken sword appeared directly in his hand. Holding the broken sword, he said, "This time, I won't hold back!"

Ni Wenjun looked at the broken sword in Mr. Iron Sword's hand and said, "You still won't draw your sword?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Iron Sword chuckled and said, "You are not worthy. This broken sword is enough to finish you off."

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun felt an unprecedented humiliation. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, since that's the case, I'll make a bet with you."

Mr. Iron Sword asked, "What are we betting on?"

"I'll bet you'll draw your sword. If I can make you draw your sword, how about you release all the people in this city, and the Chen family as well?"

"Heh, what if I don't draw my sword?"

"I'll give you my life."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Iron Sword said, "It sounds like I'm not getting any benefit from this?"

"But I'll take this bet!"

As Mr. Iron Sword spoke, he looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "Show me what you've got. If you can get me to draw my sword, I will not pursue the matter any further with the people in this city or the Chen family."

"Alright, then you'd better keep your word!"

"what!"

After Ni Wenjun finished speaking, he suddenly shouted, and then all the power in his body began to gather. The next moment, the martial arts illusory image behind him, the Eight-Story Tower, shattered with a loud bang.

boom!
With a loud bang, it felt as if Ni Wenjun's power had directly increased to another level, actually approaching the first stage of the Fusion God realm.

"Reverse Cultivation of the Nine Heavens!"

Seeing this, Mr. Iron Sword was also shocked. He did not expect that Ni Wenjun would use the Reverse Nine-Level Tower at this time. He used his own Eight-Level Tower as the foundation, destroyed the foundation, and finally became the Reverse Nine-Level Tower!

However, the power gained from reversing the Nine Heavens was real. At this moment, Ni Wenjun roared, and his aura surged several times over. A terrifying force rushed towards Mr. Iron Sword, causing Mr. Iron Sword's clothes and beard to fly.

Mr. Iron Sword squinted and said, "Interesting."

Thinking this, he pressed his hands down, and his aura immediately stabilized. Then he looked at the broken sword fragments in his hands and said, "Hehe...it seems this will be an interesting duel."

As he said this, Ni Wenjun clenched his fists, and the next moment, when his aura reached its peak, he roared, "Reverse Cultivation Eighth Level!"

[Awe-inspiring!]

The mountains and rivers are magnificent!
Its grandeur is boundless, how magnificent!

With a roar, Ni Wenjun's entire body erupted with crimson light, and he threw a punch at Mr. Iron Sword.

This punch carried power close to that of a first-stage Fusion God; it was truly Ni Wenjun's strongest move.

I refuse to believe you won't draw your sword after this punch!
boom!
Ni Wenjun stomped his foot on the ground, and then his whole body merged with the punch he had thrown out. His opponent had a martial arts space, and if he didn't merge with his internal energy, he might be devoured if he entered the opponent's martial arts space.

Therefore, Ni Wenjun attacked Mr. Iron Sword with both his body and fist.

Iron Sword originally intended to use the dispelling function of the martial arts space to simply disperse Ni Wenjun's punch of qi. However, unexpectedly, Ni Wenjun merged with his fist and attacked together.

Ni Wenjun is quite something, actually coming up with such a shameless trick. You should know that normal experts at the first or second level of the Fusion God realm can integrate the power of their martial arts space into their moves, so that the opponent's martial arts space cannot dispel their protective energy.

The result is that neither of them seems to have a martial arts space. They only use this method of dispelling qi with a martial arts space when dealing with cultivators who have just entered the Fusion God Realm or are below the Fusion God Realm, so that not a single leaf of power can touch them.

This is also the origin of the saying, "Under the power of the melting god, all are but ants."

That's right, this is the strongest power of the Molten God Realm: spatial power.

Ni Wenjun had just entered the Zero Transformation of the Melting God realm and had not yet fully mastered the power of this martial arts space, which was why he appeared so passive. However, he was also quite remarkable, as he was able to come up with the idea of ​​uniting man and fist, using the three-inch martial arts space in his own body to counteract the opponent's martial arts space power.

And so, Ni Wenjun threw a punch directly at Mr. Iron Sword. This punch was the strongest he could unleash at this stage. If he couldn't defeat Mr. Iron Sword, he really had no other choice!
"Draw your sword! Draw your sword!"

Looking at Ni Wenjun, who was attacking with such a fierce punch, Mr. Iron Sword didn't show much expression. He just said with a mocking look on his face, "You really know nothing about strength. You think you can force me to draw my sword by practicing the Nine-Level Tower in reverse? What a joke!"

After saying this, Mr. Iron Sword swung the broken sword in his hand, and with just one swing, an incredibly terrifying sword aura shot straight towards Ni Wenjun.

brush~
Those around could only see a large, flat sword aura sweep across their faces, and the next moment they heard a muffled groan.

The next moment, Ni Wenjun, who was rushing over, was swept away by a sword.

boom!
The next moment, Ni Wenjun crashed into the crowd with a loud bang, like a meteorite falling. The huge rock was smashed open, and countless flying sand and stones fell around. Some unlucky soldiers were directly killed by the shock wave.

It's like gods fighting, and mortals suffer!

"Ah, pfft..."

Ni Wenjun tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Seeing his appearance, the surrounding soldiers immediately approached with long spears and surrounded him.

Ni Wenjun lay on the ground, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to break. His internal energy had been completely depleted; the attack just now had almost exhausted all his energy, and it would be of no use to the Iron Sword Master in front of him.

How could this be? How could this be?

Ni Wenjun felt his strength rapidly disappearing. The side effects of practicing the Nine Heavens Reverse Technique were showing. He was rapidly losing his power. That's right, practicing the Nine Heavens Reverse Technique was a life-saving method of this technique. After practicing it in reverse, you can have the ability to fight back, but of course, there are also great side effects.

It means that you need to dissipate your cultivation and start over. However, there is no threshold to your realm after starting over, and you can progress very quickly. This is not the first time Ni Wenjun has used the Reverse Ninefold Cultivation. Back in Mianshui, he used the Reverse Ninefold Cultivation, which resulted in him dissipating his cultivation. He had to hide for a while before he was able to raise his cultivation to the Transformation Realm.

Did she meet Chen Jiu Si not long after? At that time, Chen Jiu Si saved her life, and the two formed a deep friendship because of it.

This time, however, he might not be as lucky as before when his power was dissipated again. Thinking of Ni Wenjun lying on the ground, having given up struggling, the soldiers surrounded him and captured the enemy commander alive. Even if it was just a small contribution from the side, it would still be a great achievement.

At this moment, Ni Wenjun looked up at the sky, and suddenly the soldiers quickly dispersed, and then they saw Mr. Iron Sword walking slowly over.

stomping on...

The footsteps were slow, yet they landed squarely on people's hearts, causing everyone's hearts to pound.

Tread!

Mr. Iron Sword approached Ni Wenjun and said, "Young man, you've lost!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun said, "Yes, I lost. I didn't expect the gap between those in the Furnace Realm to be so large."

Mr. Iron Sword said, "This distance is probably much greater than you think."

"I am but a tiny fraction of it."

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun looked at Mr. Iron Sword and said, "Sir, you are too modest. There are not many in the world who can defeat you!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Iron Sword chuckled and said, "What you say is not untrue. Well, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you another chance. Take your wife and leave. I still have some friendship with your master, Old Daoist Songqing, so let's not ruin our relationship."

Upon hearing this, Ni Wenjun said, "I have always been a man of my word. Since I have lost to Mr. Iron Sword, then please take my life."

"However, if you would consider the relationship you have with my master and refrain from harming my wife, I will respect your decision."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tiejian looked at Ni Wenjun and said, "Isn't it a pity to die for one's principles?"

Ni Wenjun said, "A true man should have principles of conduct and principles of righteousness. How can I be untrustworthy and unjust? I beg you, Mr. Iron Sword, to take my life as agreed!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Jian said, "Fine, since you're determined to die, I won't stop you. However, I can't care about your wife and children. I'm only sparing your life because of Song Qing. You don't hold any weight with me!"

Ni Wenjun looked at Mr. Iron Sword, only to see that Mr. Iron Sword had a cold face. It was easy to understand why an old monster of his level sometimes had some strange principles.

Ni Wenjun then spoke up: "Senior!"

Mr. Iron Sword said, "Shut up, just obediently wait to die. Losers have no right to make demands!"

As he spoke, Mr. Iron Sword raised the broken sword in his hand. At this moment, a thick layer of qi condensed on the broken sword. Mr. Iron Sword looked at Ni Wenjun with icy eyes.

Ni Wenjun closed his eyes at this moment, silently saying in his heart, "My wife, I'm sorry, this is all I can do."

Meanwhile, on the city wall, Hua San Niang saw Tie Jian about to kill Ni Wenjun, and her whole body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face. She stared intently at Ni Wenjun.

"If my husband passes away first, I, San Niang, will never live on in this world!"

Su Yunjin, Zhou Chu, Jin Yanzi, and Zhao Ya, who was fighting Xu Shouhui, were all drawn to the scene and stared blankly at Ni Wenjun, who was about to die.

Xu Shouhui chuckled and said, "With Ni Wenjun dead, let's see how your Huangzhou Prefecture can hold out any longer. Princess, you'll be my plaything sooner or later! Hahaha..."
