A shallow river beach and a large pile of rocks beside the river.
There are four Gangsha crystals placed on one of the relatively flat rocks.
Not far away, two figures clashed and collided, causing large swaths of gravel beneath their feet to break.
One of them was the young master of the Chen family. He was holding an ancient sword with red thorns and a pine pattern, and he let out a powerful sword chant.
But even if he took seven steps back and tried his best to dodge, the whip was still shaken out in circles in mid-air and wrapped around his wrist.
The ancient sword with pine patterns that cut gold and cut jade didn't have time to touch the whip body. Mr. Chen felt that his internal energy was cut off at his wrist.
The long whip shook, Master Chen's hand trembled, and the ancient sword flew up into the air.
Whoosh!
Prince Darren took back his long whip and did not pursue the victory. He chuckled and said, "I won a narrow victory, so I surrendered."
Master Chen caught his sword, sheathed it, He looked at the Gangsha crystals on the stone with some reluctance: "I'm willing to admit defeat. The two crystals I have are yours."
"Hahahaha, it's just a small gamble for fun. Brother Chen is very generous. Although he lost two crystals, in the next four days or so, he might still be able to get many more crystals, surpassing the number in my hand?"
Prince Darren rolled his whip and four Gangsha crystals fell into his hands.
Everyone has the jade pendant given by General Shenwei, and can withdraw at any time. No matter how big the gap in combat power is, it is too difficult to snatch other people's Gangsha crystals.
So after Prince Darren met Mr. Chen, he actually proposed a bet.
Both sides took out an equal number of Gangsha crystals and gambled until they reached the point without hurting the harmony.
Mr. Chen was quite confident in his own strength. After some thought, he agreed. Unexpectedly, after a fight, he still lost half of his moves.
"Thank you for the prince's good words."
Mr. Chen also felt a little sad in his heart. If he had known better, he would not have gambled with both crystals.
He turned his back and left quickly.
Unexpectedly, after walking three or four miles, he met Mr. Feng.
The two of them had some friendship, but at this moment they found that the other person's face was not good-looking, so they couldn't help but stop and look at each other, and a subtle feeling arose in their hearts.
"Don't you..."
"You also..."
They both spoke at the same time and shut up at the same time.
Mr. Chen frowned: "I met Darren, the little prince from the Wolf Yu King's tribe, and I had a bet with him. I lost half a move and two crystals."
Mr. Feng said: "I also met him, and we had a fight, and it was a little less than half a point. But after I came in, I found one crystal, and I only lost one."
The children of the aristocratic family are not stupid people. , immediately noticed something fishy.
"I asked about what happened on the day he entered the city. He couldn't even untie the acupuncture points tapped by a young monk. How come it was half a move to beat you and half a move to beat me?"
When Mr. Chen said this, his face turned dark and he turned around and ran away.
The two of them went to the river beach together, but Prince Darren was nowhere to be seen.
Mr. Feng sighed: "Forget it, it's only because we are greedy that we agreed to bet with him. Besides, there is the general's jade pendant. Even if we find him together, we can't get the crystal back."
"Just bet, you'll only win half on purpose." "Zhao, does that mean I'm not worthy enough to let him use his true strength?"
Mr. Chen was indignant, "We are all at the Heavenly Ladder realm. I want to see how much stronger he is than us. Let's track him down." , if you see him fighting with others again, Maybe we can tell the truth!"
Master Feng disagreed: "Our family also has a quota for Gangsha crystals. It is not easy to get one based on our seniority, so let's track it down and see. It’s so busy, why not hurry up and look for it again. "
Mr. Chen thought for a while and said: "After more than fifty people have searched, the chance of encountering an unowned Gangsha crystal is even smaller. If you look for it aimlessly, you might not find it in the next four days. God, I can’t find one.”
"That Prince Darren was able to find you first and then me. I suspect that he has some kind of magic weapon that is imprinted with the secret of finding people in the Northern Wilderness. He can sense where people live in desolate places."
< br>"Instead of running around, it's better to follow him and see what's going on. Maybe when he finds the next person, we can arrange a bet with him first." No Gang "The evil spirits are crystallized."
"But we still have magic weapons that we can use to make bets. Although the magic weapons and the evil spirits have different uses, their value may not be inferior,"
Mr. Chen said, " remove In addition to the sword, I also have two magical weapons on my body that can be activated without the need for my own unique skills. Your Feng family has many treasure refiners, as everyone knows, and I am afraid that the various magical weapons on my body are more numerous than mine. A lot?”
Mr. Feng nodded lightly: "That's right. Anyway, there are still more than four days. Let's see with Yi Yi first. If there is no chance, then we can think of other ways."
Both of them are friends with Prince Darren. After passing the hand, everyone used their own methods to track it from the river.
Half an hour later, they found Prince Darren in a redwood forest, hundreds of feet away, hiding in the forest and watching carefully.
"Brother Harlan, are you really not willing to bet with me?"
Prince Darren smiled and said, "Although I am notorious for my poor talent and am the most mediocre among the brothers, But I love to enjoy the fun of competing in martial arts. I am happy to win, but I am also happy to lose.”
"Brother Haran is a young general of King Laiqiu. He is very brave. I would like to see him."
Across from the prince stood a fat man wearing a golden robe with a cold expression. The belly is as big as a drum, and it is Haran Mingjing from the tribe of King Laiqiu.
"Whether you are mediocre or cunning, I have known since I was a child."
Harlan Mingjing said calmly, "We, the three kings, have been in business for hundreds of years, and we can't even see your little tricks. Not broken? "
Prince Darren took it out from his arms and found six Gangsha crystals in his palm. He smiled and said: "I can bet you three with six. If you are really a qualified businessman, Brother Harlan Not tempted? ”
"The Crystal of Gangsha is indeed a good thing."
Harlan Mingjing's eyes flashed slightly, and he changed his tone, "But General Shenwei's ambition and courage are even more amazing. It is worthy of saying that in a hundred years, From the position of general, he was promoted to the head of many generals in the north. "
"Our three kings should still look for this ally."
King Darren. Zi also felt the same: "Although Da Chu is old, it is not dead after all. Even if Da Chu is really torn apart one day, the mighty general is definitely a figure worth betting on."
"The Qiongqi tribe is really incredible. Zhi, how can a mere part of the Eight King's Tribe compare to the possibility of expelling the four tribes of Yuanfu and taking charge of the interests of the entire Northern Wilderness in the future?"
Haran Mingjing shook his head and said: "We are optimistic about the general, they are only optimistic about King Liang. If the Tianming Sect is not defeated, they really penetrate the northern border and connect the inside and outside. I am afraid that today, we will be called unwise. . ”
“Oh, you are rambling, it seems to be true. Don't want to fight with me."
Prince Darren smiled and turned to look, "So, I wonder if Brother Haran is willing to take a gamble with them?"
Chen Seeing that Prince Darren had noticed, Feng and Feng simply showed up, but their expressions became even worse.
They do have the intention to rob their opponents, but the situation after taking the initiative to rob their opponents is completely different from that after being called out.
What made them even more displeased was that Harlan Mirror, who had a cold face at first, suddenly smiled and became eager after seeing the two of them.
"Do you two young masters also want to bet with me?"
Harlan Mingjing smiled and said, "I have three Gangsha crystals here. As long as there are things of equal value, you can bet on them. , I wonder who will come first?”
Mr. Chen said coldly: “We haven’t fought yet. Do you think you can defeat us? "
Harlan Mirror said: "Is that what I meant? In fact, I also like to gamble, but Darren is famous for his cunning, which makes me unhappy. I don’t want to lose to him even if I lose. If I bet with you two, I can still bear it no matter whether I win or lose.”
Neither Chen nor Feng spoke, and they were hesitating in their hearts.
They have already suffered a loss, so they are naturally more cautious. Their original intention is to be confident enough when they meet some young and mediocre ladder warriors, and then be the first to make a bet.
Harlan Mingjing has a good status and unpredictable strength.
"Why don't you bet with me."
In the redwood forest, another voice came, "I said why are there so many people walking the same route? It turns out there is excitement."
Yang Ziwen pushed aside the branches that were hanging down in front of him, walked briskly through the forest, and said with a smile, "I also got a Gangsha crystal. Instead of betting more, just bet on one. How about it?"
Harlan Ming Jing looked at him: "Then bet one."
Yang Ziwen looked at the other people: "There are too many people. If I take it out and let it go, On the ground, someone won't take it away while we are fighting, right?"
Mr. Chen snorted: "We are not strong enough to do such a thing."
< br>Prince Darren smiled and said: "The most important thing in business is credibility. I will not ruin my reputation because of a Gangsha crystal."
"If you are worried..."
Harlan Mingjing said, "Then wait until the winner is determined before taking it out."
If Yang Ziwen wins, there is no need to use his own gang. Take out the evil crystal again.
Harlan Mirror’s words actually revealed his strong confidence inadvertently.
The reason why he was named Mingjing is because when he was born, he had a pair of eyes with extraordinary talents. He could detect the strength of the light emitted by a person's vitality, detect the location of the disease, or observe the opponent's skill. The rise and fall.
This is a sign that his bloodline has returned to its ancestors. Although he has not yet reached the stage of Xuan Fei and his bloodline cannot be dug too deep, the functions he currently possesses have already given him an advantage in many things.
Yang Ziwen's skills are mediocre, and he should only have practiced to the level of the fourteenth or fifth level of the ladder.
Harlan Mingjing thought that because of his powerful skills, he was afraid that he could beat his opponent twice, so he was willing to bet.
"Okay, okay, let's start now."
Yang Ziwen smiled and said, "Please take action!"
Harlan Mingjing did not refuse. The body-protecting energy filled the surrounding area three feet, and he approached Yang Ziwen step by step.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened to less than one foot.
This distance, for the masters of the ladder, is equivalent to a close encounter, and the eyes of the onlookers are a bit serious.
Buzz! !
Halan Mingjing punched out, and the body-protecting energy shook the ground, fallen leaves, trees, and a large amount of air nearby.
A golden fist mark the size of a water tank crashed through the air.
Yang Ziwen's body, like a fallen leaf, was knocked away by this golden fist seal, stuck close to the fist print, and floated ten feet away.
Harlan Mingjing's expression changed. He looked down and saw a flying knife piercing the trouser leg of his calf and sticking close to the side of his calf.
There is still a pure cyan glow on the tip of the knife, which has not faded for a long time.
Buzz! !
The golden fist seals spread out, and Yang Ziwen fell to the ground, coughing lightly: "What a heavy boxing technique, this must be the "Jinshan Famous King Seal" of King Laiqiu."
"The name stays in Jinshan, the boxing Engraving a thousand years is really fascinating. If you didn’t use ten powers with this punch, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to touch it lightly.”
Harlan Mingjing pulled out the knife: "I didn't even notice when you took out the knife. If this knife meant to hurt me, I should have seen blood."
"I am willing to admit defeat, This is yours."
Harlan Mingjing took out a Gangsha crystal and threw it together with the flying knife.
Prince Darren admired: "When you hold the sword, it doesn't look like you are holding a hidden weapon, but like you are using it to carve characters. Is it the martial arts of Confucianism?" .I heard that the eastern part of Dachu , there once was a Huolin Academy, famous for its flying knives and arithmetic. It challenged the Tianming Sect to fight with Tianji three times, but was defeated by the leader of the Tianming Sect. Everyone in the school was killed by the Tianming sect. His last work was flying knives, and this was his last song. "
"But it seems that Dachu is really full of talents and has profound knowledge. Without Huolin Academy, Confucianism still has other amazing flying knife skills."
Yang Ziwen's eyes narrowed slightly and he shook his tongue. The head smiled and said: "You actually saw my gesture of drawing the sword. Fortunately, I didn't bet with you just now."
He looked at Chen and Feng again, "Two young masters, do you want to take a gamble? ”
Mr. Chen rolled his sleeves and said, "A Confucian man is so easy to gamble? I don't want to help you corrupt the morals of the Confucian school."
Yang Ziwen laughed and was about to speak when he suddenly listened.
Prince Darren suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance, ducking away. Harlan Mirror was only a step slower.
The five people present rushed out of the forest at the same time, stepped on the water and crossed the river, running at top speed. About four miles away, in front of a broken stone tablet, a red cloud covered a ten-foot radius, churning and swaying back and forth.
In the cloud light, the figure of the flaming dragon appeared faintly, emitting a long dragon roar.
Prince Darren and the others heard this news.
"Shaoyang Lihuo Zhengang, which can highlight the phantom of the spirit gang, is absolutely top-grade!"
Prince Darren recognized this type of Gangsha, and his heart tightened even more. The long whip was swung forward, making big circles.
Someone must have broken into it to stimulate this cloud of light and let out a dragon roar.
In order to prevent others from taking advantage of him, Prince Darren used his whip to exert his full strength.
The slender whip is like a huge and heavy steel blade rotating. As soon as it shakes, it immediately stirs up the majestic airflow.
The hundreds of green bamboos and trees in the surrounding area were all pulled by the air current and tilted from both sides in the direction of the whip shaking.
The red cloud light with a radius of ten feet suddenly stretched this way and shifted over.
This cloud light is the vitality projected by the Gangsha crystal. When the cloud light moves, the crystal that is the core will inevitably move.
However, just as the red cloud light stretched into a long stream, it was speeding towards Prince Darren.
In the depths of the cloud light, there was a sudden shock, and all the red clouds dispersed with a bang.
Prince Darren drew back his whip and looked intently.
On the broken stone tablet, standing a young man in a white robe with a hosta in his hair, with two strands of black hair hanging on his chest, he has a delicate appearance and an elegant temperament.
On his right hand, he held a red crystal the size of a fist, shaped like a lotus bud, which was obviously the crystallization of Shaoyang Lihuo Zhengang's energy.
"It's you?!"
Mr. Chen scolded, recognizing the murderer of Situ Tingyun, "Su Hanshan!!"
Harlan Mingjing's eyes turned slightly and he paid attention. To the area above Su Hanshan's belt, it bulges slightly.
He has a slender figure, and his belt is silver, about a palm wide. After it is tied tightly, his loose robe is draped outside and hanging on both sides, which makes his waist appear stronger and stronger, making it easier for people to notice. Yes, there are a lot of small hard objects in my clothes.
Besides the extra Gangsha crystals, what else could it be?
Looking at it, I'm afraid there are seven or eight of them!
“Ha, it’s fate that we can all get together in such a huge secret realm.”
Su Hanshan glanced at everyone and chuckled, “Goodbye!”
The moment he uttered these two words, his figure suddenly faded away and reappeared ten feet away.
“Brother Su, would you like to get a few more Gangsha crystals?”
Prince Darren did not chase, but just shouted.
"Oh?"
Su Hanshan was in mid-air, and his feet did not seem to be in contact with the entity. However, the airflow around him reversed, and he was sent back to the stone tablet again.
"What do you mean? Could it be that you have discovered some unparalleled evil spirit that you cannot conquer, and are you looking for someone to accompany you?"
Everyone was awestruck when they saw him showing his hand.
This movement technique is really clever. Even if Su Hanshan doesn't use the general's jade pendant, if Su Hanshan uses this movement technique and wants to leave, no one will be able to catch him.
Chen and Feng originally heard that he killed Situ Tingyun, but they only thought that the three of them worked together, especially the punch of Zen Master Guangming Shuiyue Shen, which was crucial.
Now I feel that I have underestimated Su Hanshan, and I feel a little drummed in my heart.
“If there really is the core of the top grade Gangsha, how can we divide it up if everyone goes together? Of course that’s not the case.”
Prince Darren took out six Gangsha crystals. He solemnly said, "I want to make a bet with Brother Su. How about using these six Gangsha crystals to bet on Brother Su's Shaoyang Lihuo?"
The total amount of these six Gangsha crystals is actually not inferior to that of the Shaoyang Lihuo True Gang, or even more.
But when using the energy of Gangsha to maintain health and increase strength, frequent changes in attributes will be more wasteful for ordinary ladder warriors.
To sum up, these six Gangsha crystals are almost the same as one Shaoyang Lihuo.
As for Su Hanshan, he is more efficient in absorbing Gangsha crystals without wasting too much.
“Gamble?”
Su Hanshan paused for a moment on the six Gangsha crystals, then smiled and said, "Shall we start now?"
Boom! ! !
A silvery white energy suddenly erupted from Prince Darren, causing the ground seven feet around him to sink, forming a pit.
The strong wind blew away, and Harlan Mingjing and others turned their heads to look in confusion, wondering why he suddenly activated the body-protecting Qi to the extreme before he even took action.
“Brother Su!”
Prince Darren smiled and said, "Let's wait until I'm ready before we start."
Su Hanshan's smile faded slightly: "It seems you know some of my methods?"
"Look back to the light. At the time of the shadow, I happened to watch it too."
Prince Darren said solemnly, "The startling glance before swinging the sword, others. I may not have noticed what the golden light is, but I recognized it. How could I dare to be careless about an opponent like Brother Su?"
Su Hanshan stuffed the Shaoyang Lihuo Crystal into his arms and said. : "You have seen my battle and you still want to bet with me. It seems that you have deep confidence in yourself."
"I really want to take the opportunity to experience the martial arts of the Northern Wilderness Royal Tribe."
The two of them had settled their words, their eyes met, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became heavy.
Yang Ziwen and others all retreated further, staring at the battle intently.
The wind stops and the bamboo leaves fall.
Prince Darren suddenly raised his hand, but did not attack. Instead, he took a step back and threw the soft whip in his hand to the side.
This move was beyond everyone's expectations.
Just when they unconsciously looked at the soft whip with a look of surprise in their eyes, they suddenly discovered that Prince Darren had disappeared from their sight.
Change the focus and attack suddenly.
Prince Darren’s move almost had the effect of becoming invisible and disappearing.
Even if someone is standing face to face and their attention is distracted, they may lose sight of Prince Darren.
And he himself had already arrived in front of the broken stone tablet and punched Su Hanshan's knee.
Clinker, when he punched out, Su Hanshan's figure on the stone tablet was only a shadow.
Prince Darren reacted quickly and hit the stone tablet straight with his other hand.
Boom! ! !
Everyone seemed to have only heard a collision, and sixteen more holes had appeared on the stone tablet.
This stone tablet is large, wide and thick. Even after it is broken, it is still as tall as a person and about five feet wide. It is gray-green in color and appears to be extremely hard.
But in front of the masters of the ladder, this kind of stone tablet should be no different from tofu.
There were actually two ladder masters who exchanged sixteen punches. Each punch penetrated half of the stone tablet. The two fists collided and then retracted.
After sixteen collisions, although there are sixteen more holes in this stone tablet, there are not even any unnecessary cracks.
Both of these two people are restrained in their skills to a level that makes people feel harsh. All the impacts are only applied to each other, and the force of the counter-shocks is completely resolved by themselves, without any excess. The fluctuations are dispersed.
Su Hanshan used the Xuanyin Six Evils Divine Fist.
Prince Darren used the "Sirian Wolf Hao Hai Sheng Kung", which is also the most advanced martial art that combines strength and softness.
He usually uses a soft whip, not because his weapon is a soft whip, but because he wants to use the soft whip to figure out the flexibility and strength of his boxing techniques.
Harlan Mingjing knew that Prince Darren’s boxing skills were powerful, but he never expected that the young man opposite him was on par with him.
This simply made Harlan Mirror wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes.
It seems that Yang Ziwen made a slight mistake before. At any rate, Yang Ziwen's internal strength is indeed not good, and he relies on his flying knife skills.
But now, Su Hanshan is really fighting head-on with his fist. Why did Harlan Mirror think that Su Hanshan is six or seven steps less accomplished than Prince Darren in the ladder realm?
It should be noted that the level of the ladder realm does not only depend on the strength of the internal force and the strength of the body.
After all, some people are born with deep dantian and arrogant bodies. They may be able to compete head-on with the peak of the ladder when they are at a low level, but the mysteries in other aspects are ultimately incomparable.
The spine is the central axis of the human body and the origin of countless hidden meridians.
It is precisely because of the existence of these subtle meridians that the human brain can receive the sensations inside and outside the body, such as pain, itching, swelling and contraction, cold, heat, softness, etc.
And through these meridians, the instructions in the mind are conveyed to all parts of the body, allowing the human body to make various responses to external conditions.
Compared with the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, the hidden meridians are very difficult to detect, and even more difficult to regulate and nourish in subtle ways.
After cultivating to the Heavenly Ladder realm, a warrior should try to feel more of the hidden meridians emanating from this bone each time he tempers a vertebra, so as to further nourish and utilize them.
The benefits of doing this are also obvious.
All aspects of the body are more sensitive, react faster, have stronger healing capabilities, and are more resistant to toxicity.
The most obvious thing in battle is that it is more able to withstand the impact of internal forces.
When two strong men fight against each other, even if the opponent's internal force does not invade their bodies, their own skills will have a strong backlash after the collision.
The more hidden meridians you master, it is equivalent to more usable rivers that have been reinforced in the body. The power that comes back will be diverted and resolved quickly among countless forks, allowing people to Greater efficiency, regrouping the offensive.
Therefore, in the realm of the ladder, the more spine segments that have been tempered, the higher the frequency of full-strength attacks that can be achieved.
However, for people like Su Hanshan, who has broken through to the Heavenly Ladder Realm through the Qi Sea Extreme Realm, not only the quality of the tempered spines is higher, but the number of hidden meridians that can be felt after each spinal segment is tempered is also significantly higher than ordinary ones. There are a lot more warriors on the ladder.
So, although he has only completed the tempering of the coccyx, sacrum, lumbar vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, and the seven bones of the cervical spine, the tempering has not been completed.
However, the number of hidden meridians he has mastered is already slightly better than that of the average warrior at the top of the ladder.
Prince Darren actually knows this too.
When he saw that Su Hanshan was using Condensing Light Ge Qi, he had already guessed it, but it was only after personal experience that he was convinced that in a head-to-head confrontation, the opponent was indeed no worse than him.
So, after sixteen punches, the prince's extremely decisive eyes flashed, and his two eyes suddenly turned blood red, and it was no longer possible to distinguish the whites of the eyes from the pupils.
The blood-colored light shot out from his eyes for half a foot long, and at this moment, a layer of blood-colored glow evaporated all over his body, and his aura was extremely powerful.
Harlan Mingjing was shocked again: "The secret technique of violent blood!!"
In the ladder realm, after tempering the spine, the hematopoietic function of the spine has greatly increased, and the quality of the blood has also been significantly improved. Metamorphosis.
Generally speaking, human blood also has a service life. After using it for a period of time, the old blood will be transformed and excreted, and the new blood produced by the human body will replace it.
In three to five months, the blood in a person's body will be replaced.
But after reaching the realm of heavenly ladder, the function of human blood becomes more powerful, and the service life is gradually extended to half a year or even a year.
At this time, the most abundant parts of the warrior's body are the Dantian, the spine, and the blood.
There is only one Dantian and one spine, which cannot be moved rashly, but the blood has more room for use.
Beihuang's violent blood secret technique is to forcibly stimulate the spine without losing blood in the human body, create more blood with abundant vitality, and transpire and refine this new blood, bursting out far beyond the normal. combat power.
This secret technique also places a heavy burden on the human body, especially the heart and brain. If it is maintained for more than three breaths, significant damage may occur.
Three breaths! ! !
Prince Darren's hair flew wildly, and all his seven orifices were emitting red light. He punched again. When the bloody glow burst out, his figure seemed to be taller than before in the distorted halo. times.
The broken stone tablet was originally taller than him, but now in front of him, it looked like a low piece of sand and soil, as if when the fist moved forward, it did not need to be hit by the punch, and it could be knocked down with just momentum. Destroyed into rubbish!
