Chapter 217 Killing the Grandmaster, the Secret of the Warring States Period
"The contest begins!"
While Qi Sui was distracted, the eunuch on the side suddenly shouted out.
The ten imperial court's 800,000 gun and stick instructors from the Forbidden Army had an extremely keen sense of combat, and almost at the same time, they shot at Qi Sui with their guns.
Their moves were ruthless, and the spear points were pointed directly at the vital points, aiming to kill the opponent.
The sharp wind blew the tips of Qi Sui's hair on his forehead.
His eyes were cold, and when he raised his hand casually, all ten heavy spears made of fine iron were broken.
Su Zheng stood up in shock.
In his eyes, ten figures of Qisui appeared on the martial arts field at the same time, and their movements were too fast to be caught with the naked eye.
In an instant, ten Forbidden Army instructors who were highly skilled in martial arts and who were all enemies on the battlefield flew outward at the same time, like a kite with its strings broken, vomiting blood and falling to the ground, uncertain whether they were alive or dead.
The ten afterimages gathered towards the center of the field again. Qi Sui still stood there, maintaining the posture at the beginning of the competition, as if he had never moved.
"fear!"
This was the thought that came to everyone's mind.
All of them were high-ranking figures in power in the ancient Divine Phoenix Kingdom, but they had never seen anyone as powerful as Qi Sui, not even a little bit close.
If a demon lord descends from the sky, he will really be the Tai Sui God on earth!
Su Zheng thought of a somewhat absurd question.
If Qi Sui kills him now, will he survive?
Various possibilities and methods have been considered, but the answer is still a cold "no"!
“Okay!”
Su Zheng shouted loudly.
His eyes were full of admiration, and he made up his mind to have a good relationship with Qi Sui no matter what, and to keep this great god by his side.
"A strong man is really good at martial arts. As for this third test being too dangerous, I think you can forget it. The three rewards I promised you before still count!"
Hearing this, all the officials in the court looked at him in astonishment.
Because among the tests for those who reveal the list, the third test is the core.
Many people have made speculations. It seems that His Majesty has developed a love for this foreign warrior.
At this moment, Princess Wuyou walked over, her beautiful red phoenix eyes fell on Qi Sui, and she said gently: "Father, if he fails to pass the third test, then my daughter is not willing to marry him. It’s an agreement that the daughter made with her father a long time ago!”
Su Zheng frowned and thought deeply. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Qi Sui's interested voice.
"Emperor, what is your third test? Can you take me to see it?"
He was really curious.
Another point is that the competition just now was not even a warm-up for him.
The career panel only gives a pitiful 10 experience points.
The level gap is too big!
"Okay, then I'll take you to see it first. You can decide for yourself whether to try it or not. I won't force you!" Su Zheng sighed softly.
Under the leadership of several sergeants, everyone continued to walk deeper into the palace.
Until they left the palace gate, several carriages were waiting here.
"Strong man, please get in the car!"
One of them took the initiative to lift the curtain for Qi Sui.
"It seems that the place is quite far from the palace!"
He muttered in his mind and got into the carriage.
The carriage was very fast, galloping all the way, and soon left Shengyang Mansion.
After continuing to travel in the wilderness for half an hour, the carriage finally stopped on the side of the road.
"Strong man, we've arrived!"
Qi Sui, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes. He slightly twitched his nose a few times, and a stench that penetrated his soul hit him again.
"It's the scent of the gods!"
Sure enough, looking at the long history of human civilization, not only traces of the activities of gods appeared in the ancient era, but also their presence in the Warring States Era, which is simply a terrifying cancer attached to the history of the development of human civilization.
Opening the curtain, you will see the entrance of a heavily guarded bunker.
The bunker was cold and damp, and there were oil lamps on the walls on both sides for lighting.
The deeper you go, the stronger the stench in the air becomes.
Finally, a cage made of hundreds of refined iron appeared at the end of the line of sight.
There was a tall and majestic man in the cage who was completely naked and with disheveled hair. His extremely exaggerated muscles looked like swimming rings on his body. The skin of his body was covered with strange and mysterious dark red lines. He was moving in a regular pattern. Keep flashing.
"This is the third and final test. You need to go in and kill him!"
At this point, Su Zheng sighed: "The strength of this beast is very terrifying. There are a total of twelve people who have successfully reached this point before, but without exception, they died inside without being able to last even one round."
"Although your strength is very strong, I'm afraid you are no match for him. I really can't bear for you to suffer here."
Qi Sui looked inside and saw that the prison was extremely dirty. On top of the accumulated feces, some remaining white bones and skulls could be seen.
As for the flesh and blood, it must have been eaten clean by this beast.
"The level of a master is equivalent to the oracle in the divine religion!"
His eyes became sharp, the blood in his body was boiling, and the militant factor in his bones was trembling.
"Let me go in and I'll have a try on his quality!"
"Okay, since you have such courage, I will not stop you. Come on, bring the light armor and sword!" Su Zheng shouted.
"No need, I'm not good at using weapons!"
Qi Sui glanced at the sword handed over by his servant. The material was very poor and far less useful than his fist.
Su Zheng waved his hand and signaled: "Then open the cage and let this strong man in."
At this moment, Su Nian, Princess Wuyou, took the initiative to take a few steps forward, stood up on her tiptoes, straightened Qi Sui's clothes with a gentle look on her face, and said softly: "Young master, be careful, if you are not defeated, you must go as far as possible." Leave your life behind!"
Qi Sui gave her a strange look, said nothing, turned around and walked into the cage along the narrow door.
When the strong man heard the noise, he suddenly turned his head and looked this way. His long hair was thrown away, revealing an ugly face covered with dirt, covered with scars, and his eyes were a scary red.
Qi Sui didn't talk nonsense to him.
The muscles all over the body entered the activation state, and the already burly figure swelled again, and scarlet energy rose up on the surface of the skin.
His legs exploded with force, the entire bunker shook violently, spider web-like cracks spread on the ground, and he rushed over like a swimming dragon.
The fist that was waved carried thousands of tons of strange force, distorting the space along the way, and struck the man's head like thunder.
Although this Oracle's mind seems a little confused, the fighting instinct is still there.
Faced with a life and death crisis, he let out a harsh roar, the lines on the surface of his skin flashed rapidly, and he also punched.
boom--
Fists collided in the air.
With this as the center, the terrifying aftermath spread out in all directions, like a Category 15 hurricane.
The cage was instantly broken through, the walls collapsed, and a large amount of rubble fell down.
"Retreat quickly to protect His Majesty!"
Some soldiers exclaimed.
Everyone rolled and crawled out of the bunker.
Just before he could get a foothold, there was a series of violent explosion-like movements behind him. The bunker collapsed instantly, and two figures rushed out of the rubble like demons, fighting fiercely in the sky.
"How can this beast be so powerful?"
Su Zheng's expression was dull.
When he captured this beast, he was in a coma due to severe injuries, so no one knew how strong his full strength was.
He has been imprisoned in a bunker outside the city. His mind seems a little unclear and he has never tried to escape. This is why he has been imprisoned for so many years.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
I have had close contact with such a terrifying thing so many times before, so I am lucky that I was not killed by him!
Chen Su, the prime minister of the DPRK, couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this beast can fly. It should be one of those national gods. I just don't know which country's national god it is?"
The marshal of soldiers and horses stared intently at the battle in the sky.
The speed of the two was so fast that he couldn't see clearly at all. He could only see two black lines flying and colliding, causing space fluctuations like waves.
"Your Majesty, the strong man we recruited this time can fight with a national god without losing. Do you think...could he be the same kind of thing?"
Upon hearing this, the joy and hope that had just risen in Baiguan's heart were instantly extinguished.
yes! According to the common understanding of martial arts, no matter how powerful a martial arts master is in Qinggong, he cannot fly across the sky!
Even the legendary supreme light skill "Ladder to the Cloud" can only stand still in the air for a short time at most.
Unless... they are those national gods who possess evil powers, and these people are the mortal enemies of their ancient Divine Phoenix Kingdom.
"No!"
The soft voice of Princess Wuyou Su Nian sounded: "I have had close contact with him. I like the smell of him very much. It can't be that kind of thing."
"Yes, although this strong man looks a little arrogant, he is still polite to me and is not as violent as those people. Let's see again!"
As Su Zheng spoke, he waved to a guard and whispered a few words in his ear.
The guards took the order and left.
At this time, the battle in the sky entered a fierce state.
"kill!"
A roar came from the naked man's throat.
The lines on the skin are radiant, and the light yellow Gang Qi rises.
A terrifying bird monster with three bat-like heads appeared behind him, and the extremely oppressive domain power spread out in all directions, covering the battlefield.
"Are you going to fight for your life?"
Qi Sui looked at the monster totem above the field.
He had seen this thing in books. It was an unpopular god. It was first active in the Brahma Kingdom and was later introduced to the Xia Kingdom.
"Then let's fight quickly!"
After fighting for dozens of rounds, he basically adapted to his body after his surge in strength.
"Exclusive skill, [Styx], activate!"
Accompanied by the deduction of 300 points of mental power.
A mysterious river meanders like it was born from the beginning of chaos.
Thick mist filled the river, like an invisible curtain, hiding the legendary River Styx in the darkness.
The water of the Styx is as deep as ink and glows with a dark light. Every surge is like a low sigh, telling the secrets of countless dead and their unresolved resentments.
Great annihilation, great terror!
Before you understand the use of the field, the exclusive skill [Styx] of the profession [Styx Soul Holder] can actually be used as an alternative field.
As long as you are surrounded by the Styx Within the scope, the will of death will spread.
Warriors with weaker spiritual attributes can easily pull their souls out, while warriors with strong spiritual power must spend a lot of energy to resist the extradition force brought by the Styx.
When a naked man is delirious, his spirit is at its most vulnerable.
He held his head and howled miserably.
Qi Sui had no hope that an advanced career could directly kill a grandmaster.
He appeared in front of the man as if teleporting, with a faint dragon roar emanating from his heart. A trace of the dragon's resuscitative power was unlocked, and his entire right arm grew thicker and was instantly covered with dense scales, as if it had turned into a human. Only real dragon claws.
The huge dragon claws that were extremely out of proportion to the body shape stretched out and grabbed the man's head.
Bang——
Like crushing a grape, a large amount of blood mist dyed the sky red.
"Kill the oracle of the Monlow Sect, gain +300 experience for the [Lord of Flesh and Blood] profession, +100 experience for the [Styx Soul Holder] profession, and gain a very slight improvement in mental attributes..."
"It's so easy!"
Qi Sui shook his head with some unfinished thoughts.
His physical foundation and trump card skills are too rich. When he attacks with all his strength, ordinary grand masters are no match for him.
What's more, this naked man is still severely injured and disabled.
He fell back to the ground.
Su Zheng's eyes when he looked at him no longer had the majesty before, but were filled with fear and respect.
Who knows?
He published the list just to summon a martial arts overlord. Who would have thought that a divine figure who could kill the god of the country would come to him.
"Do you have many things like the ones just now?" Qi Sui asked.
Su Zheng didn't react for a while.
"Strong man, the person you killed just now should be a national god. There are not many beings of this level."
"Not much, that's a shame!"
Qi Sui sounded a little disappointed.
Su Zheng blinked in confusion. He finally understood the meaning of the young man's expression. It seemed that... he didn't have all the fun?
One national god is enough to put their ancient Shenhuang Kingdom into danger of national subjugation, but he still thinks it's too little?
"Your Majesty, what is the national god you just mentioned?"
"Brother Qi, I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Su!"
Su Zheng's posture was very low, without any airs of a monarch.
All the officials in the court were filled with astonishment. They had never seen His Majesty, who was so decisive and iron-blooded in killing, so humble.
But if you think about it carefully, you can understand. After all, in other countries, the status of national gods is higher than that of kings. This young man named Qi Sui undoubtedly has the strength of national gods.
Qi Sui didn't look flattered and continued to ask, "Okay, Brother Su, I'm quite interested in the matter of the National God!"
"Haha, brother Qi, let's drive back to the palace first, and we'll talk while we're on the road!" Su Zheng laughed.
In order to build a closer relationship between the two of them as much as possible, Su Zheng deliberately sat in the same carriage as Qi Sui, and asked his daughter Su Nian to accompany him.
"Brother Qi, I wonder which country you are from?"
Su Zheng tried his best to calm down: "Looking at your clothes, you shouldn't be a Divine Phoenix person, right?"
Su Quan shook his head and said: "My country was destroyed a long time ago. I have been wandering around for these years. I happened to pass by Shengyang Mansion and uncovered the inscription!"
Su Zheng showed a true expression and said: "Brother Qi can come to our Divine Phoenix Kingdom, it is really a blessing for the people of Divine Phoenix in the world. If you don't dislike it, just get married and live here. My little girl no matter her beauty or personality Or perhaps literature and martial arts are the best choices, I wonder if Brother Qi can take a liking to them?"
Qi Sui subconsciously glanced at the girl sitting next to him.
A seductive blush appeared on Su Nian's pretty face, her slender and round legs were squeezed together hard, and her jade feet were nervously grinding on the ground, trying hard to pretend not to care, but in fact her heart was beating fast, anticipating Qi Sui's answer. .
Women always worship the strong, and even though Su Nian was born into a noble family, he was no exception.
In the battle just now, Qi Sui's terrifying strength and strong figure had already filled her heart.
Qi Sui looked back and continued: "Brother Su, can you tell me about the National God now?"
Compared to women, he is still more interested in fighting.
"Ahem!"
Su Zheng coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
How could anyone resist the beauty of his own daughter? He somewhat doubted whether Qi Sui was a man after all.
"Brother Qi should know, right? In this vast land of ours, there are hundreds of countries, large and small. There are strong and weak countries. In terms of national strength alone, our Divine Phoenix Ancient Country is undoubtedly the most powerful. One of several countries!”
"According to historical records, as early as more than five hundred years ago, the late emperor of our ancient Shenhuang Kingdom conquered the world and swept across the world in an attempt to unify the world!"
"He was indeed about to do it. At that time, more than a hundred countries were destroyed by the iron heel of our Divine Phoenix Ancient Kingdom. Only six countries were left to survive. But judging from the country's strength at that time, it was only a matter of time before they were annexed!"
Speaking of these past events, Su Zheng's tone was full of pride.
Qi Sui nodded.
He once read this history in the library of Shenhua University.
Most of the so-called Hundred Kingdoms were actually on the territory of the Xia Kingdom in later generations.
And it was the unification campaign of the Divine Phoenix Ancient Kingdom that year. Although it was not completely successful, it also laid the foundation for the civilization inheritance and unification of the Xia Kingdom.
What he is curious about now is why the ancient Divine Phoenix Kingdom was so powerful but failed in the end?
This secret has not been recorded in history books, but today I had the opportunity to hear about it from the people involved.
"It's just that the changes are happening quietly!"
Su Zheng sighed heavily and said: "That time, our ancient Divine Phoenix Kingdom's million-strong army came to the capital of the Riyan Empire and were about to annex it. However, a flag was lit up on their city wall, and on the flag was painted A terrifying red vertical pupil!”
"A figure revered by their king as a national god came out. He was like a god descending from the earth. He killed the general of our ancient Divine Phoenix Kingdom among thousands of troops. The army fell into chaos. The Sun Flame Empire took advantage of the situation and rushed out. Our army was defeated. Five More than 100,000 elite soldiers were buried on that land."
"After that battle, although our ancient Divine Phoenix Nation's national power was greatly damaged, it still has the strength to continue to unify the world, and the biggest obstacle is that mysterious figure!"
"After investigation, we found out that the mysterious man suddenly appeared in front of the emperor of the Riyan Empire one day, claiming to be a messenger sent by the gods to assist the country. Therefore, he was revered as the god of the country and was in charge of the life and death of the people of the country. Although the emperor He is still sitting on the throne, but he has become a puppet!"
Hearing this, Qi Sui thought and asked, "How many national gods are there in the world now?"
"There are now a total of 108 countries in the world. Excluding our ancient country, Divine Phoenix, there are 107 national gods. They are powerful and have different flag patterns. They each control a country and attack each other!"
"If it weren't for the divine power of the military array passed down from our ancestors in the ancient Divine Phoenix Kingdom, I would have been destroyed by them long ago!"
