Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 24: Kill
The sharp sword struck Tang Jie with great force, pointing directly at Tang Jie's back.
Zhuang Shen used 80% of his strength with this sword. It was certain that Tang Jie would not die after being struck by the sword, but he would be severely injured.
But just as he drew his sword, Tang Jie moved.
He turned around!
He raised his right hand and held the long sword in his hand. He was blocking the falling blade and made a clang sound. Zhuang Shen's sword had no effect, but was shaken so much that his whole body trembled.
"You!" Zhuang Shen was shocked. This sword that he had prepared for a long time was in vain, which showed that his opponent was well prepared.
He was shocked in his heart, and just as he was about to use the magic formula, he saw Tang Jie smile fiercely, rush towards Zhuang Shen, and punch Zhuang Shen in the face.
The punch was so ferocious that Zhuang Shen's nose bled and he fell out.
He rolled on the ground, avoiding Tang Jie's next attack, and then saw that Tang Jie did not pursue him, but just looked at him coldly.
"You...you knew..." Zhuang Shen looked at Tang Jie in disbelief.
Tang Jie shrugged: "I don't know, I'm just used to preparing for the worst outcome. To be honest, I didn't expect that the chief messenger here of Tianshen Palace would really be so decisive. After what happened, They immediately sent people to arrest me. They are really not afraid of the consequences of arresting the wrong person...I admire you, I admire you. It seems that I have a good opponent."
Hearing this, Zhuang Shen cried out: "You are indeed Tang Jie!"
Tang Jie's words no longer meant to admit his identity.
I thought that I would have to fight hard, maybe even capture my opponent and torture him before he would confess, but I didn't expect that Tang Jie actually saved him the effort and confessed directly.
What Gu Changqing was most worried about was that they ended up catching the wrong target in this operation. Now that he got this news, Zhuang Shen was relieved.
He laughed heartily: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I didn't expect that this Tianshen Palace's first great contribution in years would be completed by me, Zhuang Shen. As long as I catch you, there will be serious consequences for Tianshen Palace. Reward, when the time comes it will be easy for me to enter the transcendent world, and it will not be difficult even to reach the heavenly heart. Hahahaha!"
As he spoke, he stood up, threw away the ordinary iron sword, and took out another purple dagger from the bag beside him.
This short sword is different from the previous one. The purple sword is surrounded by magic patterns, and there is a faint flow of fire. If you look carefully, you can see that there is also a formation formation on it.
Article!
In the past, Zhuang Shen had no intention of killing anyone and only used Fan Tie. Now that the target was prepared, he naturally took out the magic weapon.
However, Tang Jie was obviously more concerned about Zhuang Shen's treasure bag than the magic weapon.
He tilted his head: "The mustard bag... is good, very good. I didn't expect that in order to deal with me, Tianshen Palace even gave you the mustard bag. There must be a lot of good things in it, right?"
The mustard bag contains mustard seeds, which is one of the most important magic weapons of the immortal family.
However, this kind of magic weapon is not available to just anyone. A mustard seed bag on the market basically costs one piece of spiritual jade per cube, and the higher you go, the more the price rises.
Zhuang Shen already hummed: "In order to get back the military mirror, Tianshen Palace has spent a lot of money in the past few years, consuming countless manpower and material resources. Master Gu Ying has been even more exhausted. In comparison, a mustard seed bag is nothing. . Finally, you lived up to the expectations of the Eagle Master and finally appeared. But no one expected that you would shout loudly after arriving at the academy and play a trick with us."
Tang Jie smiled and said: "Is it true or false? I'm not that crazy about it, and I don't think this kid's game of guessing whether I am or not will be of any use to you. The reason why I did that was just because I was forced to It’s just helpless, otherwise you think I wouldn’t be willing to study well in the academy?”
"Forced by us?" Zhuang Shen was puzzled.
At this time, he was no longer in a hurry to take action.
The purpose of his coming was not to kill Tang Jie, but to capture him and torture him. Since the other party would answer every question, whether he caught him or not was secondary. The key was to clarify the many questions in his mind.
If retrieving the military mirror is the first priority, then why Tang Jie did what he did is the second priority that Gu Changqing is most concerned about.
"Yes, I was forced by you." Tang Jie nodded: "You said, if I didn't shout that I am Tang Jie, would you not check me? What if I didn't go to Xiyue Academy and go somewhere else? College, will you not investigate me?"
Zhuang Shen shook his head: "How is it possible? All the colleges in Wenxin Kingdom, large and small, are under our surveillance, and Xiyue College is just the most important one among them. And all the students who enter the college, no matter which one they are, are under our surveillance. During our investigation, Lord Gu Ying did not expect you to keep your original name from the beginning."
Gu Changqing is a cautious person. He will not doubt Tang Jie just because he shouted, nor will he doubt him just because Tang Jie didn't shout. Everything will speak for itself after all.
If Tang Jie hadn't been forced into a corner this time, he would never have arrested someone so quickly.
"Yes, just because I know this, there is no need for me to change my name. After all, it doesn't matter whether I change it or not. As long as I still want to cultivate immortality, you will find me sooner or later." Tang Jie said with a smile. .
"That's true, so I can understand why you came to Xiyue. Anyway, you will be suspected wherever you go, so it is better to go to the best one. But how do you know our search method?" Zhuang Shen was puzzled: "Wan What if we are not investigating one by one, but secretly sending people to look for suspicious targets? Then there is no need for you to shout!"
"You told me yourself." Tang Jie replied: "If you want to use secret surveillance methods, then why do you need to let the students of Tianshen Palace appear openly? No matter how weak Tianshen Palace is in Wenxin Kingdom, arrange One or two people can always sneak into the academy, right? Aren't you one of them? There is only one answer, that is, there are too many academies and too many students. It is impossible for one or two people to check."
Zhuang Shen opened his mouth but was speechless.
Tang Jie already said: "The military inspection is of great importance. It is impossible to check everyone with limited manpower. However, Tianshen Palace does not have the ability to arbitrarily place its own people, so it can only use the method of exchanging students. So. It’s not that I don’t want to do some things, it’s just that I can’t do them. Of course, there must be overt investigations as well as covert investigations. Speaking of which, Tianshen Palace really puts all their efforts into it.”
These words touched the bottom of Zhuang Shen's heart, and he could only sigh: "That's true. I don't hide in Tianshen Palace because I can't hide it. You don't hide it because you can't hide it. Since anyway, I can't hide it, so I might as well take advantage of it. It's a bit risky, but it's also a choice made out of desperation. My appearance in the golden robe of Tianshen Palace is to force you out. And your strong words and clear ambitions are to draw out The Moon-washing Sect has the same reason, they are all forced to make choices under helpless conditions!"
There are always many frustrations in the world that are determined by human will.
If possible, Gu Changqing would never want people from Tianshen Palace to openly appear in Xiyue Academy.
If he could, Tang Jie would never be willing to shout that sound in front of the Xiyue Academy gate.
If possible, Tang Jie would not be willing to entrust Wu Xing to buy medicine.
If possible, Tang Jie would not even be willing to become a servant in the Wei Mansion.
Unless you are adventurous by nature, most miracles and feats are based on helplessness and coercion.
"Yes." Tang Jie also sighed at this moment: "It's a pity that the Xiyue Sect still didn't notice me. Your leader Gu Ying did a really good job. In order to eliminate the Xiyue Sect's attention, he must have spent a lot of time. A lot of thought, right?"
"Every time he enrolls in school, Master Gu Ying will first target a group of suspicious students and suppress them. He spends a lot of money on this, but unfortunately, they are easily destroyed by you as soon as you say there is a thief." Zhuang Shenleng Leng said: "The people sent by Yin Xiyue to fight against the Tianshen Palace are really good at calculating!"
Tang Jie smiled: "Didn't you guess it too? But you can't confirm it after all."
"Yes! I couldn't confirm it before, but I can confirm it now." Zhuang Shen pointed his sword directly at Tang Jie and laughed loudly: "Where can you run now?"
Tang Jie snorted coldly: "Do I need to run? It's just you who confirmed."
Aqua blue shield also appeared on his body.
Zhuang Shen's eyes suddenly became sharp: "You dare to resist, you are so stupid!"
The purple dagger in his hand was raised, and a sword light struck Tang Jie.
Tang Jie blocked it with his backhand sword and replied coldly: "You are the one who is stupid, right? Do you think you can survive if I tell you this?"
"It's a joke, is it just you?" Zhuang Shen shouted, raising the purple dagger again, and this time a ball of purple flame jumped out of the sword, striking Tang Jie.
With a bang, the purple fire surged, penetrating the light barrier, and the remaining impact hit Tang Jie, causing a purple fire to rise from his body, forcing Tang Jie to roll on the ground.
Zhuang Shen walked over with a big smile: "How powerful is my purple flame sword?"
Tang Jie rolled over and over on the ground. The purple flame burned on his body for a long time before extinguishing, but it left burn marks one after another on his body.
Tang Jie grunted in pain: "The power is really good. Are you practicing the Yanggu Purple Flame Technique of the Xiyue Sect or the Chongyang Skyfire Technique of the Tianshen Palace?"
Zhuang Shen was stunned. He didn't expect that Tang Jie would still have the intention to say this at this time. He snorted: "Since it's the Anzi of the Divine Palace who sneaked into the academy, he naturally learned the Purple Flame Technique of Xiuyang Valley, and he learned the Flame Sword Technique. Using the Flame Technique as the base, combined with this Purple Fire Sword, the power of my Flame Sword Technique can be more than doubled, and even the casting speed is greatly increased. Your water light shield can block my sword, but it cannot block my Ziji. Fire! Say, where is the Bingjian?"
Zhuang Shen pointed at Tang Jie and said sharply.
"At this level, you dare to come and kill me?" Tang Jie chuckled: "The Tianshen Palace won't be so stingy, right?"
"What?" Zhuang Shen was stunned again by Tang Jie.
Tang Jie had already stood up from the ground, and looking at his wounds that had just been burned by the flames, they were closing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
How is this possible?
Zhuang Shen couldn't believe his eyes.
Tang Jie shook his neck and said coldly: "Let me tell you one more thing. The Zangxiang Sutra has the effect of refining the body. It can absorb spiritual energy and refine oneself before entering the spiritual platform. As far as the current situation is concerned, My physical fitness is pretty good. Maybe I still can't reach the height of body refining in the transcendental stage, but it's basically no problem to avoid being injured by mortal soldiers. Ordinary small spells are of little use to me. Of course, you have Purple Fire With the sword in hand, it is much more powerful, but if I add a water shield, the combination of the two is enough. Even if I still suffer some minor injuries, fortunately, the recovery speed of this Zangxiang Sutra is still quite fast. So... If you want to catch me, you have to work harder."
"Zang Xiang Sutra? Body training?" Zhuang Shen looked at Tang Jie in astonishment, and then he laughed: "So this is your confidence. I didn't expect that the Hidden Xiang Sutra would be so useful. The treasure left by the master of war is indeed Extraordinary. Okay, very good! The more powerful you are, the more valuable the weapon master’s legacy is, and the greater my contribution will be!"
As he spoke, his face became grim, and the Purple Fire Sword once again erupted into a blazing flame, slashing down fiercely at Tang Jie.
"I said, this is not enough!" Tang Jie swung his sword with his backhand to meet him. While resisting the attack of the purple fire sword, he stabbed Zhuang Shen in the face with another sword.
A shield suddenly appeared on Zhuang Shen's hand, blocking Tang Jie's attack.
Zhuang Shen flew up and kicked Tang Jie away. When he hit Tang Jie, he also shattered his protective shield. He shouted wildly: "How about adding this vitality shield?"
His vitality shield was also released extremely fast. Apparently, like Tang Jie, he had practiced it thousands of times.
Tang Jie was kicked into the air and fell back to the ground again.
Zhuang Shen had taken out a piece of talisman paper and pointed it at Tang Jie: "Flying Sword Talisman!"
The talisman paper turned into a spiritual sword and flew towards Tang Jie.
Seeing that Tang Jie could no longer hide, another water mask appeared.
The flying sword pierced the water light shield, passed through the light shield again and stabbed Tang Jie in the chest. At the same time, Tang Jiehu roared and punched out fiercely, hitting the flying sword, and only heard a bang. , the flying sword had turned into countless talismans and dissipated, and a trace of blood flowed from Tang Jie's fist.
This shield and punch shocked Zhuang Shen, and he cried out: "So you were prepared for it!"
The reason why he worked so hard to practice the vitality shield was because he had the support of the Celestial Palace. Naturally, he had to practice his life-saving spells first and be ready for action at any time.
But it was a little unpredictable that Tang Jie's water shield could be released so quickly, which showed that the opponent was already prepared for this fight.
Tang Jie stood up slowly, looked at Zhuang Shen and said, "What's so strange about this? I said, I don't know if Tianshen Palace will come, but I will definitely prepare for the worst outcome. ...Besides, the result may not be really bad."
Zhuang Shen laughed loudly: "Are you kidding? Do you think you can block my Tianshen Palace with just a water shield?"
"Why not?" Tang Jie asked: "Do you know what is the key to determining the outcome of a battle?"
"Of course it's strength!" The purple sword in Zhuang Shen's hand was slashing at Tang Jie again.
Tang Jie returned his sword to greet him and said in a long voice: "Strength is indeed very important, but even more important is the initiative. Whoever seizes the initiative will win. The Tianshen Palace is very strong, so naturally I can't defeat it. . But I don’t have to fight those who can’t be beaten!”
"What?" Zhuang Shen was stunned.
"Don't you understand yet?" Tang Jie sneered: "This is my home, my home court. Only I can decide who can come in and who cannot come in! So... I am choosing my opponent!"
With a loud roar, Tang Jie struck down with another thunderous sword strike.
Three sword strikes in a row hit Zhuang Shen's Purple Fire Sword hard, causing him to retreat step by step. His arms were sore and numb from the shock, but what shocked him even more was Tang Jie's words.
He is choosing his opponent!
He took the initiative!
It was only then that Zhuang Shen realized why Tang Jie was so determined. From the beginning, he had been grasping the rhythm of things.
The initiative rests with him. Whether to fight or not and who to fight is all his decision!
When he decided to take action, it was naturally because he was sure of victory!
This realization shocked Zhuang Shen. At the same time, Tang Jie continued to attack Zhuang Shen with one sword after another, and the twelve sword movements were unfolded continuously.
Both of them are just entering the path of immortality, and they are not qualified to compete purely with magic. Therefore, they both chose the same way, which is to use magic to enhance themselves to fight. The tactical ideas are extremely practical and rare in the entire academy. of.
This makes their attacks just like masters fighting with sword energy, but with many more colors of flames, making them look much more gorgeous.
Tang Jie has a water light shield, twelve vertical sword postures plus a hidden elephant body, while Zhuang Shen has a vitality shield, a fireworks sword plus a purple fire sword. Both of them have practiced fighting skills, so the strength of both parties is They are actually comparable.
At this moment, there was only a bang. Tang Jie's water shield was broken, and Zhuang Shen's energy shield also exploded.
Then the two of them raised their shields and hoods at the same time, and fought together again, still evenly matched.
"Bastard!" Zhuang Shen roared.
Putting his hand into the bag, Zhuang Shen took out something from the mustard bag and threw it into the air. The golden light turned out to be a piece of golden armor, which automatically attached to Zhuang Shen's body.
"God Armor? Not bad! Not bad!" Tang Jie was not surprised, but had a happy smile on his face.
The most famous thing of Tianshen Palace is probably the Tianshen Armor~IndoMTL.com~, which has related spells, special magic tools, and magic weapons. It is famous for its strong defense. As a disciple arranged by Tianshen Palace, Zhuang Shen sneaked into Xiyue Academy. , naturally he cannot learn the mental methods of Tianshen Palace, but he brought a piece of Tianshen Armor.
Although it is the lowest level, its defensive capabilities are probably better than the vitality shield.
This is not to say that Tianshen Palace is stingy and does not even give Zhuang Shen a magic weapon, but that the more advanced the treasure is, the greater the consumption of spiritual power it requires. When ordinary spiritual disciples use magic weapons, they often have enough power with one blow. It will drain out all the spiritual energy, and it is not as convenient as using ordinary magic weapons.
At least Zhuang Shen won't have any problems wearing this magical weapon-level divine armor.
At this moment, wearing the treasure armor, Zhuang Shen's face showed a ferocious look: "Tang Jie, you don't really think I only have one sword, do you?"
"Of course, I know." Contrary to his expectations, Tang Jie replied: "Since Tianshen Palace sent you, you must have some confidence in dealing with me. You and I are both students at the same time, if you haven't read How can I win with my trump card? But do you know, this is what I’m waiting for?"
"What?" Zhuang Shen was stunned again.
In just this short time, he had been shocked by Tang Jie countless times.
Tang Jie's smile finally turned cold: "If you come here without treasure, why should I care about you? Do you think I have nothing to do and take such a big risk just to kill a **** of the Tianshen Palace? No, I want to It's you who came here with the treasure! Kill to get the treasure, kill to get the treasure... Killing is not the purpose, but getting the treasure is. For this battle, I used more than two bottles of healing pills and spent hundreds of money. I have also stopped practicing for more than a month to practice **** spells. After investing so much money, if you bring less magic weapons to deal with me, I will not be happy!"
As he said the Tang Jie magic formula, the next moment, a black shadow pounced on Zhuang Shen!
