Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 44: Drunk


Brush!

The fountain of blood splashed.

A Tianshen Palace disciple fell onto the stage amid gushing blood. His body swayed, but he was lucky enough not to die. He staggered back to his position, came to a master and knelt down: "The student is incompetent and failed to defeat his opponent."

The master just expressed kindness, but did not punish him. He only let him go down to rest.

As the battles progressed, everyone gradually understood the rules of this game.

If you are defeated in a strong fight, you can surrender. If you retreat without fighting, you must not do so.

This is a spirit, just like a bright sword.

The two sects are mortal enemies of each other. They cannot be humiliated even if they die, and they cannot be abandoned. This is what the masters need their students to understand.

After a day-long battle, the fight to the death between the students of Tianshen Palace and Qijue Sect became the focus.

Blood agitates here, killing intent rages here, hatred is vented here, and fighting spirit is aroused here.

Yun Wuji, Mu Yi, Xiao Wen, Lin Wang, Fang Shiye, outstanding students from the two schools took turns to appear on the stage, performing their own glory. But the real killing does not belong to them. As we all know, exciting battles usually only exist between people who are close to each other, and the same goes for killing. The closer the people are in terms of strength, the more brutal the fight will be and the higher the death rate will be.

When all twenty games were over, almost everyone from the two factions of the Qijue Sect of Tianshen Palace had lost.

Among them, Tianjin Palace won 12 games and lost 8, with six people killed, three seriously injured and five slightly injured. Qijuemen won eight games, nine people were killed, four were seriously injured, and three were slightly injured. Both sides paid a heavy price. In terms of pure strength, the people from Tianshen Palace are better.

"Fifteen people died just like that? Is this the end?" Wei Tianchong murmured.

He was not mentally prepared for today's fight, so that when the killing came, he had no ability to resist. Watching the blood flow and the life passing by, I was shocked in my heart.

Tang Jie does not blame him. In fact, there are many students like Wei Tianchong at this moment.

After all, they are still just students. They have not left the academy for a day, and their understanding of the word "cruel" is only on paper and in their imagination.

Today is a lesson that the masters teach everyone in advance, allowing them to see the cruelty hidden behind the tenderness of this world.

"Of course it's not over. There will be substitutes for those who die, and they will inherit the points of their predecessors and continue to fight." Tang Jie replied.

"You know that's not what I'm asking." Wei Tianchong said with difficulty.

Tang Jie added with a smile: "Well, those students who survived inherited their hatred and continued their hostility. If the hatred before was only on paper, now, this hatred is experienced personally."

"You mean..." Wei Tianchong looked at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie said leisurely: "Among these survivors, there will always be some who may become the mainstay of the sect in the future, but they will not forget today's hatred, let alone allow their disciples to forget. By then They will also use various means to arrange similar bloodbaths to further intensify and create new conflicts, passing on hatred from generation to generation, and will never give up until one side is dead."

Wei Tianchong trembled all over after hearing this: "Isn't that the end of peace? Isn't it deliberately creating hatred?"

"Yes, that's how it is." Tang Jie smiled and said: "What do you think hatred is? Hatred is a sharp sword, it hurts you and makes you suffer; but it is also strength, giving you support and allowing you to persevere. It makes you struggle; it is more like a drug, making you crave it, rely on it, and cannot live without it; it is also a tool, a cheap and easy-to-use tool..."

Wei Tianchong didn't understand the meaning of drugs, but he at least understood most of the meaning of Tang Jie's words.

He asked again if he wanted to, but Tang Jie seemed to know what he was going to ask. He patted him and said, "Don't be stupid. If you understand, you have to understand. Some things must be done. It is not a shame to be a tool. In order to achieve what you want, Even if you are a genius at level 8 or 9 of Yumen, you should be used obediently when you need to be used... as long as you don't be used for the rest of your life."

Wei Tianchong was curious about whose genius was so worthless and willing to be used as a tool, but when he thought that several students from the two factions of the Seven Heavenly Gods on stage today were geniuses of rank eight or above, he was speechless.

He didn't know that what Tang Jie was referring to at this time was not those people on the stage at all.

After talking to Wei Tianchong, Tang Jie stood up and walked towards the students watching the battle in the back row. Liu Hongyan, Shu Mingyang, Shi Meng and others were all sitting here. Today's competition was over and everyone was about to disperse when Tang Jie came over, stood next to Liu Shu and Liu Shu and said, "Mingyang, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

The title of the book was shocking: "What happened?"

Tang Jie walked side by side with him and whispered: "You also saw today's battle."

"Yeah."

"If nothing unexpected happens, then there will be a life-and-death fight between Qianqing Sect and Tianya Haige, Xiyue Sect and Beast Refining Sect. This is not a competition, fame is a fight of life and death." Tang Jie said with a serious expression.

"I understand. Fortunately, your opponent is not too strong." Shu Mingyang nodded.

"I'm not worried about myself." Tang Jie shook his head and said, "It's Jun Yang. His opponent is Helian Hu. You have also seen the strength of this guy."

Yesterday and today, Tang Jie has seen Helian Hu take action twice.

Especially today, while Tianshen Palace was fighting Qijue Sect, Tianya Haige and Beast Refining Sect were also fighting fiercely, and the most exciting one was the battle between Lan Yu and Helian Hu.

After twenty battles, Tianya Haige still lost with seven wins and thirteen losses, but in the most critical battle of geniuses, Lan Yu defeated Helian Hu.

In this battle, Helian Hu also showed his strength. This top-ranked student of the Beast Refining Sect really lived up to his name. Not only was he powerful, but he also had three low-level refining tigers. . Unlike Tang Jie's Yiyi and Xiaohu, Beast Refining is an integral part of the Beast Refining Sect's strength, so it can be brought on board, just like Wei Tianchong's puppet. But Tang Jie's Xiaohu and Yiyi couldn't.

Although Lan Yu won, it was extremely difficult, and he even suffered some injuries.

Because of this, everyone in the Xiyue Sect could see that there was no way Cai Junyang could win against Helian Hu. Not to mention his three low-grade demon tigers, even his own combat power is enough to compete with Cai Junyang.

At this moment Tang Jie said this, Shu Mingyang also sighed: "Yes, this person is extremely powerful, Jun Yang...he has no hope."

Tang Jie sighed and said: "The problem is that Jun Yang is too stubborn. As you know, he has always believed that he would rather die in battle than surrender. Although he didn't say anything, I was sitting with him just now , seeing the fire in his eyes...he was very excited."

"What do you mean..."

"I want you to advise him not to be so impulsive. In the battle with Helian Hu, it doesn't matter if you lose, just try your best. When you find that something is inevitable, get out of the battle as soon as possible to protect yourself. From It can be seen from today's battle that no matter how fierce the hatred between the two factions, they will not chase each other from the stage to the audience."

"Why me?" The title of the book is surprising.

"Maybe it's because you have the world in mind." Tang Jie said with a smile: "For a person like me who will do anything to get a higher position, telling him that living is the last word will probably have no effect. You have to be like this Someone comes forward and lets him understand that no matter how big his ambitions are, they have to be realized by living people, and maybe he will listen."

"Aren't you afraid that I will support him?" Shu Mingyang asked.

"You can't." Tang Jie shook his head.

"Oh? Why?" Shumingyang asked curiously.

"Because you are actually not that kind of person." Tang Jie replied with a smile.

————————

Shu Mingyang finally agreed to Tang Jie's request, and the two went to see Cai Junyang together.

At this time, Cai Junyang was drinking in a restaurant in Hongmei City. When he saw the two people coming in, he raised his voice and said, "If you want to persuade me to give up, just shut up as soon as possible."

Cai Junyang was stuck in his stomach before he could say anything, and the two of them couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.

Tang Jie said angrily: "I asked you, why are you so stubborn? Life has its ups and downs. Is it a big deal to lose?"

Cai Junyang shook his head: "Losing, I have nothing to lose. But if I don't fight with all my strength and give up, I can't do it! No matter how strong He Lianhu is, he doesn't want me to just abandon my sword and surrender. ."

As he spoke, he patted his chest: "Tang Jie, I know you have good intentions. But do you still remember my battle with Lan Yu yesterday? In order to harm me, that guy didn't hesitate to use the pressure of his realm to scare me. If it weren't for At that time, you reminded me that I was afraid that my will had been taken away from me, and it would be difficult for me to pick myself up again. Now no one is going to suppress me, so why should we suppress ourselves? In this battle, I, Cai Junyang, can lose, or even die, but I just can't Give up actively!"

As he spoke, Cai Junyang slapped the table, causing drinks to splash on the table.

"Yes, you understand better than anyone else. It seems that everything we say is in vain." Tang Jie shook his head and sighed.

Cai Junyang has said: "If you don't persuade me, we will still be good friends."

"Yes, I'll watch you die." Shu Mingyang didn't answer angrily.

"Why are you talking about this now? If you can't persuade me, then I won't persuade you. Come on, drink!" Tang Jie gave up easily and shouted while holding a wine bowl.

"Yes, these are good brothers!" Cai Junyang laughed and raised the wine bowl.

The three of them just drank one mouthful at a time.

The more wine I drank, the harder the atmosphere became.

Gradually, the faces of the three people turned red, and each of them was a little shaky. Everyone had their own concerns.

Finally, Tang Jie was the first to stand up uncontrollably, slapped the table and said: "No matter how strong He Lianhu is, he has no chance of defeating him? I still don't believe this evil, I still insist on helping you. Yang can’t win this battle!”

As he spoke, he turned around and strode outside.

"Where are you going?" Shu Mingyang asked.

"Don't mind me, just drink first, I'll come back when I'm done!" Tang Jie strode downstairs.

Shu Mingyang stood up hurriedly and said: "I think he drank too much. Jun Yang, let's go and watch him and don't let him cause any trouble."

Cai Junyang replied drunkenly: "What trouble can he cause..."

But he was dragged up by Shu Mingyang and chased after Tang Jie.

The two rushed out of the restaurant and saw Tang Jie heading towards an alley by himself.

Shu Mingyang shouted twice, but Tang Jie ignored him. Shu Mingyang could only drag Cai Junyang after him.

After walking a few steps, he saw a person walking in front of him, it was You Shaofeng.

Tang Jie stumbled all the way and bumped into You Shaofeng.

It is not good to know that the title of a book is so popular.

You Shaofeng and Tang Jie have never dealt with each other. This is known to everyone. Now that Tang Jie is so drunk that he bumps into him, he is afraid that he will not get any good results.

Unexpectedly, Shu Mingyang was stunned by the next scene.

Not only did You Shaofeng not knock Tang Jie away with one punch, but he actually helped him up.

Although he quickly stopped his hand and let go of Tang Jie the next moment, he did not punch Tang Jie. Instead, he looked around nervously, as if he was afraid that someone would notice.

Shu Mingyang was shocked and helped Cai Junyang to hide aside. You Shaofeng looked around and saw that there was no one around, and the next moment he did something that shocked Shu Mingyang.

He actually helped Tang Jie up and pulled him into a dark corner, and the two of them started talking.

How is this possible?

The title of the book makes my eyes almost bulge.

Aren't they mortal enemies?

After a while, You Shaofeng left Tang Jie, and Tang Jie continued to move forward on his own.

He walked staggeringly, while Shumingyang followed behind with Cai Junyang on his back until he came to an alley on the edge of the city.

This alley is dark and deep, with few people coming and going. It is already dark now, and it looks even more dead. Only a black-armored puppet is still loyally guarding this corner.

Tang Jie came to the alley, looked around for no one, and took out the heart-breaking knife from the mustard bag.

The eyes that were originally slightly cloudy due to drunkenness now seemed clear in the night. He slowly raised his knife and slashed at the black-armored puppet.

The black-armored war puppets in Hongmei City are responsible for public security and will not attack anyone if nothing happens. But because of this, no one expected that someone would be bold enough to attack the puppets.

However, this war puppet is really hard. Tang Jie slashed the back of the war puppet's neck with all his strength, and only cut out a groove mark, but failed to chop off the war puppet's head. In terms of the strength, Even more than Wei Tianchong's war puppet.

The puppet is not a living being. As long as the structure and magic circle are not destroyed, no matter how injured it is, it will not be affected. Therefore, if someone else had been hit by this attack, it would have been a fatal blow, but to the puppet, it was just an insignificant attack.

Despite this, the self-protection mechanism of the war puppet still came into play at this moment. The war puppet turned around with a click, raised the long-handled sword in his hand, and slashed hard at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie swung his sword horizontally, and struck the heart-breaking knife with the long-handled sword. The huge force made Tang Jie roll out like a gourd on the ground. Tang Jie's strength couldn't be this bad. It was probably because he drank too much and his steps were unsteady.

The war puppet strode after him and grabbed Tang Jie.

Tang Jie turned over and hid again. The golden thread in his hand flew up, followed the previous white seal, wrapped around the neck of the puppet and pulled hard. The golden thread was retracted, and it was pulled in for about a third, but then it was pulled again. Can't make any progress.

It turns out that this golden thread is not omnipotent and can pull through anything. This war puppet is extremely tough. Although the golden thread is sharp, its force is limited and it cannot completely cut the war puppet.

However, after being pulled by Tang Jie, half of the body of the war puppet also bent down.

Then Tang Jie did something that made the book famous and made his jaw drop.

He actually went to take off the puppet's armor!

At that moment, Shu Mingyang suddenly understood what Tang Jie wanted to do.

He wants to get a battle armor for Cai Junyang.

These third-grade battle puppets are all wearing Celestial Armor produced by Tianshen Palace. Although it is difficult for others to see due to the color concealment~IndoMTL.com~, the quality of this armor is excellent, and anyone who knows something about it can understand.

If Cai Junyang wears this armor, his chances of survival will indeed be greatly improved.

The problem is... it's not a good idea for you to be so aggressive, right?

I saw Tang Jie holding the war puppet with one hand and kicking his lower abdomen with one foot. The war puppet did not let go. The long-handled knife continued to stab Tang Jie fiercely. Tang Jie dodged and struck, but still After being stabbed several times, blood poured out from his body.

Even so, Tang Jie didn't let go and continued to steal the armor.

One of these two guys is a puppet with no brains, and the other is drunk and cannot use his brains, so that when they fight, they are like fighting with children, completely out of order.

Shu Mingyang knew that this was not the way to go. If he continued like this, Tang Jie would be stabbed to death by the puppet sooner or later.

Just when he was about to take action, he suddenly saw a flash of green light deep in the alley.

A human figure suddenly appeared, bringing up the sword to the sky, and slashed downwards, slashing at the neck of the puppet that had been cut open before.

The sword light passed by, and the puppet's originally solid head suddenly shook, then fell down and hit Tang Jie, causing him to groan in pain.

The entire puppet also completely lost its ability to move.

At this time, Shu Mingyang saw that the person who appeared was none other than You Shaofeng.

You Shaofeng seemed to have exerted a lot of effort when the sword was struck. He took a moment to catch his breath, then kicked Tang Jie who was lying on the ground and cursed: "At the last moment, don't cause any more trouble for me!"

As he spoke, he took away the armor, weapons and materials from the puppet, then carried Tang Jie on his back, and then disappeared into the night.

Seeing this scene, Shu Mingyang finally realized something and murmured: "So you have never been enemies..."

A thought flashed through his mind, and Shu Mingyang suddenly realized something and cried out: "That sword!"

He understood it all at once.
