On the Avenue.

Chapter 279 Ambush
Inner city of Xijing, Chen Mansion.

Chen Shi jumped up from the bed and shouted, "Chen Tang, this round doesn't count! Another round! Chen Tang?"

Hei Guo walked in and barked at him twice.

"He went to court and hasn't come back yet?"

Chen Shi then noticed that he was in the room. It was already daybreak. He must have been knocked unconscious by Chen Tang and was sent to bed to rest. However, he had no signs of injury at all. The place where Chen Tang cut him with chopsticks yesterday did not leave any scars or blood stasis.

On the contrary, after a good night's sleep, he felt more relaxed than ever before, and all the hard work and fatigue of the past few days were swept away.

At this time, Chen Tang returned from court, walked into the yard from outside with buns in his hand, and called several maids and servants to have breakfast.

Chen Shi immediately rushed out, intending to have another fight with him, but then stopped to brush his teeth and wash up.

Chen Tang was very pleased to see that he had become calm and not arrogant or impatient.

After breakfast, Chen Shi still did not look for Chen Tang to fight again, but carefully thought about his own shortcomings.

He is now in the perfect realm of the Nascent Soul Stage. Last night, Chen Tang used the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Stage, but the difference in cultivation between the two is actually not that big.

Two cultivators have the same divine fetus and practice the same skills, but if they are one level apart, their cultivation can be said to be worlds apart.

However, the martial arts that Chen Shi practiced, the Xiaolang Emperor Zhang Gong, was an immortal-level martial arts method. The Xuanwei Sword Sutra from the Ten Books of Cultivation that Chen Tang used was close to the immortal level, but it could only be practiced to the Ascension Realm, with no possibility of going any further.

Chen Shi's Nascent Soul is larger than a normal one, and his soul is almost solid. In addition, Chen Shi has three "divine fetuses", Shiji, Tianji and Nascent Soul. The gap in realm can be completely eliminated.

"I lost because of my moves."

Chen Shi's eyes flashed. For a long time, he had been fighting almost instinctively, without many techniques. He pursued the simplest moves and knocked down or killed his opponent as quickly as possible.

This killing instinct is almost imprinted in his blood, making him enter a hunting state whenever he fights.

But facing a master like Chen Tang, simple and pure moves become useless.

Chen Tang seemed to be able to anticipate the enemy's moves. He used a chopstick to intercept Chen Shi's moves before Chen Shi hit him, and broke the power contained in Chen Shi's fists and feet.

This method of anticipating the enemy's moves is exactly the weapon to break Chen Shi's close combat method!
Hei Guo pushed Chen Shi's mother out for a walk and placed the wheelchair next to Chen Shi. Chen Shi sat there in silence, and in the small temple behind his head, his Yuanying was practicing various magic spells.

In the forest of steles outside the True King's Tomb, there are numerous spells and all kinds of methods. If other people were to practice these spells, they would have to practice different techniques first and use them in conjunction with the spells to unleash greater power.

For example, the Six Yin Jade Wheel Technique that Li Tianqing practiced in the past, the spell Six Yin Jade Wheel can only be performed in conjunction with a set of exercises.

There is also Grandma Sha's Eight Trigrams Body Protection Technique. When the technique is activated, the eight trigrams keep changing to form a spell with amazing power.

But Chen Shi used the Xiaolang Emperor Zhang Gong to activate all his spells, and he could use various spells at will.

He was able to master these spells so quickly, firstly, because the martial arts he practiced, Xiaolang Di Zhang Gong, was an immortal-level martial arts that covered a wide range of principles; secondly, his grandfather Chen Yindu taught him various talismans. Talismans and magic are inseparable. Talismans are variations of magic, spells printed on paper or in the air.

The third point is that Chen Shi’s understanding is amazing.

Although he was sitting next to his mother and seemed to be basking in the sun, his own Taoist cultivation was improving rapidly.

He mastered more and more spells, and his Nascent Soul could cast these spells with ease. He could even reverse spells and turn them into talismans!

By the time he had mastered all the spells on the stone tablet, a day had passed unknowingly.

During dinner, Chen Shi sat at the table and ate his meal attentively.

After eating, he still sat at the table, staring at the empty bowl.

Chen Shiniang was the slowest eater and needed maids to serve her. She was always the last one to finish eating.

Chen Tang had also finished his meal and was not in a hurry. He also sat at the table waiting.

When Chen Shi Niang finished her meal, the maid pushed her away. Hei Guo cleared the dishes, cleaned the table, and wiped it several times with a rag.

Chen Shi was still sitting at the table and said, "Black Pot, there's no need to close the door. I'm going to kick him out of this door today."

Hei Guo originally planned to close the door and leave this place of trouble, but after hearing this, he opened the door again.

Chen Tang's face was calm and composed, and he said quietly, "You slept very peacefully last night. It seems that after getting enough sleep, your confidence has returned."

Chen Shi looked at his nose with his eyes, and then at his heart with his nose. He said, "A cultivator must not only have a strong body, but also be proficient in various spells. My body has not yet been refined to the level of a Taoist body. If I can refine it into a Taoist body, I can use the Taoist body to perform magic, and I can use various spells at will. I have learned a lot of magic spells in the past, but I just learned them and did not master them. But after this day of hard training, I have mastered various spells and turned them into talismans that can be used at will. The talismans and magic are inseparable. The higher my attainments in talismans, the higher my attainments in magic spells."

He did not stand up, and said calmly: "After practicing for one day, I suddenly realized that I am so powerful. The Dao body and the Dao body method are only one step away from me. Chen Tang, do you know? I am already invincible in the same realm. Even if you use the cultivation of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, I can easily take you down."

Chen Tang hummed and said, "It seems that you have made a lot of progress today. When people make progress, they always have an illusion that they are invincible. I am very pleased that you have reached this point."

His expression remained the same, without any sign of relief, and he continued, "When you cry later, repeat your feelings as you cry."

Chen Shi laughed loudly, his Nascent Soul flew out, and he shouted, "Although I am not a Taoist body, my Nascent Soul is a Taoist body!"

Chen Shi's Yuanying is about one foot tall, with a short stature, and his entire body is snow-white and translucent. With a point of his finger, the Eight Demon-Slaying Styles in the Demon-Slaying Heart Sutra are displayed in the form of a talisman!
Chen Shi's Yuanying instantly used the Eight Demon-Slaying Styles. The eight talismans flew towards Chen Tang, and at the same time, they changed from flat to three-dimensional in the air. Astonishing power was about to explode.

Chen Tang thrust out a chopstick quickly, stabbing, splitting, slicing, and cutting off the mid-stream of the talismans, making it impossible for the talismans to exert their power.

Chen Shi's Nascent Soul was spinning rapidly around him, up and down, left and right. He used the Three Wonders of the Tianguan Sutra, the Mingyu Wheel of the Yuanjiang Sutra, the Thirteen Styles of the Sword of the Xuanzhen Lingbao Sutra, the Seven Methods of Summoning Dragons of the Eight Powers Summoning Dragon Sutra, the Tengshe and Xuanwu combined attack of the Guishan Xuanlu, and other spells at will, and attacked Chen Tang frantically!

Chen Tang stabbed up, down, left and right with a chopstick. Suddenly, the chopstick slipped out of his hand and swung slightly, then it broke into two, two into four, four into eight, and quickly increased in number. No matter how many spells Chen Shi's Yuanying cast, they were all blocked by him, and not a single bit of power could be unleashed!
Seeing that Yuanying couldn't do anything to him, Chen Shi kicked the stool away, stood up, raised his foot, and slammed it hard. Suddenly, Ten Absolute Spirit Flags burst out, and two hundred and fifty-six magic flags floated around him, about to form Ten Absolute Formations, giving Chen Tang a fatal blow!

Suddenly, a sky full of chopstick shadows pierced into the Ten Absolute Formation that was forming, interrupting the flow. Chen Shi felt that all 256 magic talismans had lost their effect. He was angry and anxious, and shouted: "Chen Tang, do you dare to let me use a complete move?"

Chen Tang did not answer. Shadows of the chopsticks fell on him. Chen Shi knew something was wrong. He felt that his limbs and internal organs quickly lost feeling where the shadows of the chopsticks hit them. In an instant, only his head was conscious. He thought that Chen Tang wanted to leave his mouth and let him cry while repeating his arrogant realization just now.

Chen Shi's Yuanying activated the Youquan Youlong Sword, which turned into a stream of light and stabbed towards Chen Tang at an extremely fast speed!

Chen Shi was the one who could break the record he had left behind when he was in the Divine Embryo Realm. His sword energy was extremely fast. He had practiced Han Shan Sanren's Wanli Flying Sword Technique. His sword energy could reach hundreds of miles away. The sudden appearance of this sword light made Chen Tang's face change slightly. He picked up two chopsticks and was about to clamp the Youquan Youlong Sword!

When he grabbed it, he found nothing.

The Youquan Youlong Sword pierced into the underworld, then penetrated into the world of the living, and had already reached Chen Tang's throat.

Chen Tang stood up from the round stool and stepped back. The chopsticks in his hand flew out with two ding-ding sounds. The Youquan Youlong Sword was pierced, and the magic weapon lost its spiritual power. Even the dragon in the sword seemed to have all its senses cut off, and became dazed and sleepy.

The Wandering Dragon Sword fell to the ground with a clang. Chen Shi's Yuanying was about to attack when he was hit by the chopsticks and immediately lost control and fell from the air.

"I am ashamed that my rebellious son made me use three chopsticks."

Chen Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became angry, "The rebellious son actually used a magic weapon!"

Hei Guo was guarding outside the door. He did not see Chen Tang being forced out of the house by Chen Shi. He could only hear Chen Shi's stumbling voice coming from inside: "... I suddenly realized that I am so powerful... Chen Tang, do you know? I am already invincible in my realm..."

Hei Guo shook his head and his ears hit his face.

Chen Shi finished reading his thoughts in a daze. Chen Tang poked his forehead with a chopstick and said, "Sleep well at night and don't let your mind wander."

Chen Shi fell down.

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.

Chen Shi washed, ate, and sat beside his mother in a daze.

Chen Tang came over and cut Chen Shiniang's nails and combed her hair.

Chen Shi stepped forward to help, activating his mother's blood circulation, and then continued to daydream.

He was trying hard to recall the contents of the Ten Books of Cultivation, attempting to find Chen Tang's flaws from the moves of the Xuanwei Sword Sutra.

However, the Xuanwei Sword Scripture is extremely exquisite, and the sword techniques contained therein are even more profound. It is difficult to comprehend it thoroughly in a short period of time, let alone find its flaws.

Chen Shi simply studied the sword classics seriously and worked hard to learn swordsmanship.

In the evening, after dinner, Hei Guo cleaned up the dishes and left the main hall, standing guard outside the door.

Chen Shi placed the Youquan Youlong Sword on the table, indicating that he would not use the sword. Instead, he took out a chopstick from the chopstick cage and said, "I will use a chopstick to force you to leave this room."

Chen Tang raised his eyebrows and said, "You threw away what you are best at and used what I am best at against me. You will lose faster."

Chen Shi used chopsticks as swords. Suddenly the room was filled with chopstick shadows, making swish sounds, but then the chopstick shadows disappeared. Chen Shi was lying on the table, already asleep.

Chen Tang picked him up and put him back on the bed in the room.

When Chen Shi woke up again, he suddenly realized: "Chen Tang said that I lost what I was best at, so what am I best at? It's my fighting instinct, my offensive awareness, my fast speed, and my timing! It's impossible for me to learn all the magic skills, and it's impossible for me to know everyone's skills, and I don't need to know these."

"The best move is to make the enemy unable to perform any moves!"

"Chen Tang can anticipate the enemy's moves, but as long as I can make it so that he can't stop me even if he anticipates my moves, I will force him out of the hall!"

The annoyance in his heart suddenly disappeared. He got up, brushed his teeth, washed up, and after breakfast, he said to Chen Tang, "I haven't been to Guangjiku for a long time. I'm going there today."

Chen Tang nodded gently and said, "Be careful on the road."

Chen Shi drove away with the blame.

Four or five miles away from Guangjiku, at the intersection, Shen Hongniang sat in the sedan chair, shaking her handkerchief to dispel the heat of the day.

"Master, it's already 9:00 PM. Mr. Chen will definitely not be on duty today."

The porter looked up and said, "Let's go back. There aren't many pregnant animals left."

Shen Hongniang was still unwilling, but she also knew that if Chen Shi wanted to come, he would have come to report long ago. Since he was nowhere to be seen, he probably didn't plan to come.

"Everyone says Chen Tang is honest, but I think he is a corrupt person who actually sent his son to Guangjiku to collect empty salaries!"

Shen Hongniang was quite indignant and sneered, "Poor people like us have to be called masters and grandmas in front of others and behind their backs to barely earn a little money to survive. Let's go and don't wait for him!"

The shepherds drove the cattle and sheep over. They had managed to get the pregnant animals, but now there were only four or five of them. Several women who were about to give birth did not make it until now and gave birth a few days ago.

The shepherd drove the cattle and sheep in front, the porter carried the sedan chair and followed behind, and several men in the tea stall and the old man selling tea also packed up and prepared to return to Xijing.

Everyone walked onto the post road, cursing.

The Guangjiku was full of firearms. A huge explosion had occurred there in the past, sweeping across an area of ​​dozens of miles. Wherever it passed, people and horses were killed, trees were gone, and houses were destroyed. Therefore, no one dared to come here.

However, after everyone set out on the road, they saw a wooden cart coming towards them. It passed by the men and the old man selling tea, and then went among the cattle and sheep.

The men opened their eyes wide, stopped and turned around, staring blankly at the young official on the wooden cart.

Several shepherdesses were also stunned, watching Chen Shi's car about to drive out of the herd of cattle and sheep.

The porter carrying the sedan also saw Chen Shi, his heart beating violently, and he said in a trembling voice, "Master."

Shen Hongniang lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw the oncoming wooden carriage. Her face suddenly changed.

It happened so quickly that the wooden cart had driven out of the herd of cattle and sheep and passed by the sedan chair carrying Shen Hongniang.

Shen Hongniang's heart was beating violently and all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind!
The reason they planned this was to get rid of Chen Shi, avenge Aunt Xue in Yudu, and eliminate a great threat to the young master!
Unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, the opportunity suddenly appeared before their eyes!

The young man in the car seemed to have realized something was wrong and turned to look at the sedan chair. When Shen Hongniang opened her mouth and shouted to take action, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck. A sword light like flowing water pierced into the sedan chair from the side and pierced through her throat.

Shen Hongniang's soul leaped out of her body, and as the soul's force field exploded, Chen Shi had already smashed the sedan chair into pieces with one palm, and his five fingers, with five flashes of lightning, hit her soul heavily!

"boom!"

Her soul was blasted several miles away by the Five Thunder Technique, tumbling and crashing onto the wasteland. Beside her, Chen Shi raised his hand and slapped her hard on the back of her head, leaving a big dent in her skull. Her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!

Shen Hongniang's original spirit rushed over with a roar. On top of the wooden cart, a Luo umbrella flew up and floated in the air ten feet in area of ​​about an acre. Divine light shone brightly under the canopy, and gods and demons sang loudly.

The umbrella spun rapidly, and the shepherdesses, the big men, the porters, and the old man selling tea were all sucked up by the umbrella.

The Luo umbrella shrank rapidly, and the handle fell into Chen Shi's hand.

Chen Shi shook the umbrella with all his strength, and blood and broken bones gushed out of the umbrella.

"If I can't beat Chen Tang, can I still beat you?"
