Martial God Development Plan

As he spoke, he drew out the long sword at his waist with a swish.

"this......"

Gu Qu subconsciously looked at Ji Zhao, but before Ji Zhao could speak, Nan Xue said, "I'll go with you."

"Very good." The young man surnamed Fang said, "Follow me!"

"Nanxue!" Ji Zhao's eyes were dim, "This is not a good choice."

"Whether it is a good choice or not is actually not important to me. I have never had the opportunity to choose anything." Nan Xue said softly, "Thank you for taking care of me during this period, Brother Ji. Since they came for me, it is better not to implicate Brother Ji and Brother Gu."

Nan Xue said as she was about to walk towards the young man surnamed Fang, but when she passed by Ji Zhao, Ji Zhao suddenly whispered, "He is not——"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Nan Xue.

"I know... He doesn't want to take me back to be the Holy Son. He wants to kill me. I know that."

......

It is actually quite complicated to explain how Ji Zhao judged that the young man named Fang wanted to kill someone.

First of all, his clothes were gorgeous and you could tell at a glance that they were very valuable. Secondly, he possessed such profound martial arts that he could even deceive Ji Bei, an outstanding graduate of Luohe Pavilion. He must be in a high position in some sect and must be very powerful.

Why would such a person deliberately allow himself to be killed instantly in the battle with Ji Bei?

It was very simple. In order to let Nanxue and the others "escape", if he exerted his full strength, these people would not be able to escape, and he would not be able to kill anyone, because the white-haired old man obviously wanted to take Nanxue back.

He pretended to be killed instantly and released everyone, then caught up quietly, just to kill Nan Xue here!

As for the reason, it is actually very easy to guess. Nanxue is the Holy Son and will inherit the throne after he converts to Islam. There are people who want him to inherit, and there are definitely people who don’t want him to inherit!

Of course, these are not the most important reasons. For Ji Zhao, the most important reason is the eyes.

Ji Zhao knew very well what a murderer's eyes looked like.

The reason why he stopped Nan Xue was that he thought she was dreaming of becoming the Son of God, but he didn't expect that Nan Xue had seen through her purpose just like him. What he didn't expect was that Nan Xue was still going to die even though she had seen through her purpose!

The young man surnamed Fang also heard Nan Xue's words. He narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not deny it. "You were kidnapped when you were born, and you have practiced the Star Scripture for ten years... You are useless. How can someone like you lead the Holy Church? If you really have some feelings for your parents whom you have never met, then dying in my hands is not a bad choice."

Nan Xue said, "Maybe I should have died a long time ago... Can you let them go?"

The young man walked over with the sword in hand without saying a word.

"I don't think it's possible." Ji Zhao's voice sounded, and he grabbed Nan Xue's collar and pulled him behind him. "He must at least find a reason, for example, I fought hard and didn't want him to take you away, and then at the critical moment, you suddenly jumped out to block his knife, and he killed you by mistake... So, it is reasonable for us who know the truth to die."

Ji Zhao's guess was correct. In fact, for the young man, even if Nan Xue stayed in Luohe Pavilion, she could never return to the sect. Therefore, even if Ji Bei did not leave, he could achieve his goal... However, because Ji Bei was worried that his master would leave first, he might as well do something more thorough. After all, a living person is never as safe as a dead person.

"You are very smart." The young man approached slowly, his internal energy beginning to surge, "But, you acted a little stupid. You should understand that showing off your little cleverness at this time will only make you die faster."

Ji Zhao ignored him and just said, "Nan Xue."

Nan Xue replied in a daze: ".......I'm here."

Ji Zhao had a blank expression on his face: "It doesn't matter if you die, right?"

".......yes."

"Well, dying in vain is also dying, dying for me is also dying, why not die for me." Ji Zhao said, "Gamble your life, block a sword for me, or seize the opportunity to bite off a piece of his flesh... The meaning of your life must be given by you."

"The meaning of life..."

Nan Xue was in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, his body had involuntarily assumed the posture taught by Yun Xiao. His comprehension was outstanding, although not as good as Ji Zhao's, but he was also a rare genius in the world. With his amazing physique, he actually had some fighting power.

"Then... then me too!" Gu Qu didn't know whether he was naive or loyal, he didn't take this opportunity to escape, but stood beside the two of them, and a strong inner breath surged.

"Humph!"

The young man had a violent look on his face and slightly quickened his pace. His star-like internal energy continued to gush out, as if it would completely explode at any time.

Ji Zhao flipped his hand and a dagger flashing with cold light appeared in his hand.

"People are often ungrateful for being alive, and only regret it when they are about to die... Come on! I hope you can make an expression like this when your life is taken away."

Volume 3: Taizong Luohe: Chapter 29: Countermeasure

In terms of real cultivation, this young man is slightly inferior to Ji Bei and is also considered a second-rate master. However, in order to act, he had restrained his strength too much, so that he was hit hard by Ji Bei. In addition, he had to use his internal energy to hurry on, so his strength has been greatly reduced, not to mention that his current enemy is Ji Zhao.

The holder of level 7 Wuwei, who has practiced Zhao Hongyue, possesses the unique feature of strengthening the effect of Wuwei. The terrifying oppressive force is definitely no less than that of a long-established top master. Although the young man is unwilling to admit it, when facing Ji Zhao, he can't exert much strength in his whole body, and even the circulation of his internal energy is a little inconvenient.

Even so, in this battle of one against three, he still had a considerable advantage. After all, he was not like Liu Wei, who had no internal energy left.

There is no doubt that Nan Xue and Gu Qu have great talents, but they have only been practicing for a short time and have no practical experience, let alone any fighting skills. They are completely unable to adapt to this kind of high-intensity combat, and because they do not have suitable weapons, they are full of flaws. If it were not for Ji Zhao's support, they would have lost their lives.

If it is a one-on-one fight, Ji Zhao will perform better. Not only can he trigger the duel, but he doesn't have to support Gu Qu and Nan Xue... In a one-on-one fight, he may not be so embarrassed, but he will most likely die. But in a group fight, at least they can take care of each other. Nan Xue's reaction is very fast and can barely keep up with Ji Zhao's thinking. Gu Qu has a lot of internal energy and he is also a human being after all.

The explosive power of this Star Sutra is weird. If it is a one-on-one fight, it can completely unreasonably burst out the internal energy to kill the enemy. If both sides are at the same level, this burst may not be so effective unless it is a sneak attack. But now the two sides are obviously not at the same level.

However, an amateur is an amateur after all. Within a few moves, the young man was able to see through the strengths and weaknesses of Nan Xue and Gu Qu - especially the latter. Before they started fighting, the opponent's surging internal energy really made him look up to him. But as soon as they started fighting, it turned out that he couldn't even be considered to be proficient in fighting and kicking, and his punches were completely useless!

Boom!

The young man released his internal energy, and while using his sword to block Ji Zhao's dagger, he simultaneously punched and kicked Nan Xue and Gu Qu respectively. The surge of force sent the two flying. To be fair, this was not too overbearing, but Gu Qu was a girl, and Nan Xue was a little weak and sickly due to her past experiences. The two were knocked to the ground, their faces turning pale and blue, and although they did not vomit blood, they could not help but feel nauseous and vomited gastric juice, looking really miserable.

Zheng!

Ji Zhao had a blank expression on his face, as the dagger in his hand flew around. He seized the flaws revealed by the young man's powerful attack and launched a series of fierce attacks. His movements were extremely fast, and his two hands coordinated perfectly. Even though the young man was much stronger than Ji Zhao, he was dazzled at this moment and did not dare to accumulate strength to release his internal energy, for fear that Ji Zhao would seize the opportunity and stab him in the heart with a dagger if he was distracted.

[“How fast! How can it be so fast?!”]

The young man tried his best to capture Ji Zhao's movements, but Ji Zhao had gone through countless battles and had developed monster-like instincts. No matter how strong his physical ability was, it was always difficult for his body and mind to be unified. In a panic, he even dropped the sword in his hand - this was the right move, because when the opponent was close to him, the sword was not so effective. But it was too late to drop the sword now!

Ji Zhao stepped forward, and the dagger in his hand drew a strange arc. He switched his left and right hands and bypassed all the young man's defenses without bloodshed.

In an instant, there was a flash of cold light and blood splattered everywhere!

The young man cried out in pain, but used the time gained from being stabbed to gather his energy, and kicked Ji Zhao away with all his might!

boom!

Ji Zhao's body flew backwards seven or eight meters and he almost fainted when he fell to the ground... The gap in strength between the two sides was too big.

"You bastard...how dare you hurt me!" The young man held his arm that was bleeding, his face ferocious. Among the possible parts to choose from, Ji Zhao did not choose the most fatal one to attack, but chose the one that would cause the opponent to lose the most combat power.

“Are you a child?” Ji Zhao stood up with difficulty, holding the dagger tightly. His expression was not so much calm as indifference and dead silence, as if he didn’t even bother to move a muscle. It made people’s scalps numb. “If you want to kill someone, at least be prepared to be killed. Don’t act like you’ve suffered a great injustice.”

At the same time, he made a gesture with his left hand that hung naturally, telling Nan Xue to take Gu Qu and run away. When their levels were not exposed, they could still scare the opponent with their numerical advantage. Now that they were exposed, staying on the battlefield would be a pure side effect. It would be better for them to leave and let Ji Zhao trigger the duel.

Nan Xue didn't perform any sad drama with Ji Zhao at this moment. She grabbed Gu Qu, who could hardly stand up, and ran behind him. However, the speed was really unbearable. The two of them had little physical strength to begin with, and they had just been hit hard, so how could they run now?

The young man did not chase the two men. Although he was furious, he also realized Ji Zhao's unusualness from the previous battle. Now he dared not underestimate him.

The man tore off his clothes and simply bandaged the wound.

"Aren't you going to retreat?" Ji Zhao's voice was calm. "Since it's already like this, why don't you go back and make plans? It would be ridiculous if I kill you here."

"It's really funny... Even if you want to intimidate me, you should use your Pavilion Master's reputation." The young man bandaged his wound and his expression became fierce. "You are quite capable, but not enough. I will not fight you in close combat again."

Ji Zhao's strengths and weaknesses are obvious. His strength is his experience in fighting through thousands of battles, and each battle is a life-and-death battle, which makes him invincible in fighting. Even if there is a huge gap in physical fitness between the two sides, he can still suppress his opponent. As for his weaknesses, there is no need to talk about his pitiful internal energy that can't withstand a few uses, and his physical fitness is not that good either.

As long as this is confirmed, it is actually not difficult to counter. Just keep a distance and use medium-range martial arts. The reason why Liu Wei couldn't counter at the beginning was entirely because he had no internal energy, so he was forced to fight Ji Zhao in close combat.

However, knowing is one thing and doing is another. How to maintain distance and complete the attack while moving at high speed is also a science.

boom!

The young man released his internal energy without any warning. He snapped his fingers and the white internal energy condensed into a line, piercing towards Ji Zhao like a sword energy out of the body!

Volume 3: Taizong Luohe: Chapter 30: Sneak Attack

Swish!

Ji Zhao had also been waiting for a long time, so there was no reason why he could not avoid this attack. However, what frightened the young man was that the man did not move back to better avoid his martial arts, but rushed forward... What a crazy move. You must know that if there was not enough distance as a buffer, with his physique, he would be killed if hit!

The young man had clearly prepared for Ji Zhao to retreat and then use his martial arts skills, but he had no idea that Ji Zhao would be so crazy. He was shocked for a moment. If it weren't for the fierce battle, he would have asked loudly, why didn't Ji Zhao fight more steadily? Didn't he wait for your Pavilion Master? !

【"madman......!"】

The young man subconsciously took a step back to create some distance, while at the same time concentrating his internal energy again.

Although the Star Dou Sutra has strong explosive power, the internal energy is poorly condensed and dissipates very quickly after leaving the body. This makes it almost impossible for practitioners of the Star Dou Sutra to use long-range attack martial arts. Now that Ji Zhao has taken the initiative to move forward into the maximum killing range of the martial arts, he should be happy, but for some reason, he felt a chill in his heart at this moment.

Ji Zhao leaned forward, and the young man's internal energy burst out one after another. He snapped his fingers and shot out several internal energy with amazing sharpness. Looking at the power and speed, it would be an exaggeration to say that they were bullets, but if they really hit the target, it would make no difference!

call out!

Ji Zhao slightly moved away, and those several rays of internal energy almost brushed through his hair and sleeves. Even so, the sharp energy still left several blood marks on his body. If Ji Zhao's movement had deviated by one centimeter, he would have lost his life. But in the end, he managed to pass through the hail of bullets. The standard of that movement seemed to be only explained by shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target.

Almost everyone who has fought with Ji Zhao has had this thought: 'Why can he dodge so perfectly?' 'Am I hypnotized and therefore cooperating with him in the fight?'... This is as powerful as a ghost or god, and the spectators cannot understand it at all. Only by fighting with Ji Zhao in person can one feel the suffocating pressure.

【“Damn it!”】

Seeing that Ji Zhao was about to catch up with him, the young man had to turn around hurriedly, turn his back to Ji Zhao, and forcefully burst out his internal energy, relying on the dual advantages of his physical fitness and internal energy to quickly distance himself from Ji Zhao.

In fact, with his strength, he would not be completely unable to defeat Ji Zhao even if he was really approached by him. However, Ji Zhao's dazzling dagger stabbing before made him feel frightened. In addition, his arm was injured, and he subconsciously thought that he could not defeat Ji Zhao in close combat... He had been dominated by the devil in his subconscious.

This was also the result of Ji Zhao's previous show of skills. Sometimes, fighting in an exaggerated manner is a good thing. For example, second-rate and third-rate warriors will warn their disciples that when facing the enemy in battle, they must pay attention to preserving their internal energy, but the real first-rate warriors will say this - they must exert their internal energy, show an invincible aura, and crush all the soldiers who approach them. Only in this way can they be frightened.

The two of them started a somewhat comical chase. The young man's physical strength, speed, and internal energy were far superior to Ji Zhao's. Every time Ji Zhao was about to catch up with him, he turned around and accelerated, instantly creating distance between them.

Gradually, the young man calmed down and even began to circle with Ji Zhao. At this time, he did not have the energy to observe the movements of Nanxue and Guqu, nor could he pay attention to carefully sense Nanxue's breath, but he knew that they must be running towards Mount Daizong.

No one can escape!

"If you just run away, you won't be able to see the road behind you clearly." Ji Zhao's faint voice was mixed in with the sound of the wind and reached the young man's ears, "Is this really a good idea?"

The young man was shocked and angry, knowing that Ji Zhao was mocking him. This chase had allowed him to see Ji Zhao's cultivation level clearly and diluted the fear in his heart. He was not too afraid to turn around and fight again, after all, Ji Zhao was already showing signs of physical and internal exhaustion.

But he changed his mind and thought, the more the enemy wants to do something, the more he should do the opposite. He calmed down and ignored Ji Zhao, intending to drag Ji Zhao to death, making full use of his mobility advantage to implement the tactic of "the enemy chases me and I run, the enemy runs and I chase me".

This style of play is very ugly. After all, in terms of hardware attributes, he completely crushes Ji Zhao, but when it comes to battle, a tactic that can achieve victory is a good tactic.

[“That’ll do…”]

After realizing how shameful and ugly this tactic was, the young man calmed down. Everything was for victory.

But just when he turned around to attack Ji Zhao again, he saw a glimmer of joy in the other's pupils.

"Pavilion Master!"

As soon as these two words came out, the young man's soul jumped out!

The current leader of Luohe Pavilion, Frost Sword Liu Hanying, has only been the leader for five years, but he has already become famous throughout the world for his miraculous swordsmanship, and even has a vague reputation as the best swordsman in the world. Although the young man is only four years younger than Liu Hanying, the gap in strength between the two is no exaggeration to say that it is four generations apart. If he were to become like this, how could he survive? !

Although he was vaguely aware in the depths of his consciousness that this might be a lie of Ji Zhao, the words "a man's name and a tree's shadow" were really scary. He turned his head almost uncontrollably and looked in the direction of Mount Daizong - there was naturally no one there.

Liu Hanying's martial arts are indeed amazing, but no matter how fast he is, he has to wait for Ji Bei to go over and report the matter. How could he get here right away?

The young man knew that he had fallen into a trap, but he was not angry. Instead, he felt relieved. When he turned around, Ji Zhao had already approached him with a dagger in his hand.

call out!

The dagger flashing with cold light stabbed at him, but was blocked by the young man's palm. Ji Zhao showed signs of exhaustion. Although he knew how to conserve his strength, in terms of physical fitness, he was not much stronger than Gu Qu. At first, he could not walk because of the weight of the luggage, and now he was running long distances, chasing, and fighting, so it was inevitable that he looked a little tired.

The young man was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately launched a series of fierce attacks. However, Ji Zhao was no match for him. The dagger flashing with cold light was always at his side. Although he did not wield it tightly, whenever the young man wanted to burst out with his internal energy to attack, the dagger would always block the place he wanted to attack. For a moment, the young man was unable to defeat Ji Zhao!

He was annoyed. If he gave Ji Zhao a little more time, Nan Xue would be able to run a distance further, and Liu Hanying's chance of catching up would be higher. If this continued, he was afraid...

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of panic in Ji Zhao's eyes, and immediately wanted to withdraw. Before he could figure out why, he suddenly felt the breath of Xing Dou's internal energy behind him. He was overjoyed, knowing that reinforcements had arrived on his side. Without even turning his head back, he forced his internal energy to use martial arts to stop Ji Zhao. However, before he could say "kill him", he felt a chill in his chest.

The young man was slightly startled and looked down subconsciously.

A long sword pierced his chest from behind.

Volume 3: Taizong Luohe: Chapter 31: Dispersing the Power and Re-cultivating

Let’s go back a little bit in time, to the time when Ji Zhao let Nan Xue and Gu Qu escape.

The two subconsciously followed Ji Zhao's command and ran towards Mount Daizong, but before they had taken a few steps, Nan Xue suddenly stopped.

"What...what happened?!" Gu Qu's voice was a little weak, with a bit of panic in it. This was almost the first actual combat in her life, and she was nearly beheaded by the young man with a sword. Fortunately, Ji Zhao came to her rescue in time... This was really too scary for a teenage girl, and she is still a little frightened now, and her voice almost had a hint of crying.

"I have to go back to help Brother Ji." Nan Xue said succinctly, "He suffered this hardship because of me. How can I just leave like this?"

"But...but, it won't do anything if we go!" Gu Qu was still frightened. "In my opinion, we should not cause trouble for Brother Ji."

"I have my own way...you should leave quickly." Nan Xue glanced at Ji Zhao and the young man who were fighting fiercely, then she actually sat down cross-legged on the spot and began to disperse her energy!

At this critical moment of the fierce battle, he actually chose the option of dispersing his power, which would make the warrior lose all his fighting power!

Gu Qu was extremely shocked and had no idea what Nan Xue was doing. Her mind was in a mess at this moment. Her logic told her that she should run away immediately, but she couldn't move forward due to lack of security. It seemed that she would die without a burial place if she was left alone.

While she was hesitating, Nan Xue had actually completed her power.

This is not surprising. It is much easier to disperse the power than to practice it. Especially since Nanxue had neglected practice in the past and did not have much internal energy, it was even easier to disperse it now.

After completing the energy dispersal, Nan Xue began to practice another technique without stopping.

【"this......?"】
