Chapter 59 Bargaining
Gu Xu looked at Shangguan Jin's figure dancing flexibly among the flying blades in the sky, his eyes focused and calm.
Under his control, these handleless flying blades formed a deadly array, blocking almost all possible escape routes for Shangguan Jin at carefully calculated tricky angles.
This is a dragnet made of metal.
In this dark space, there is a silvery white light.
Gu Xu believed that if the opponent was an ordinary second-level monk, then even if he had the same powerful true energy as Shi Xiaohan, it would be difficult for him to avoid all flying blade attacks.
However, Shangguan Jin did this almost impossible thing.
For Gu Xu, this was unexpected and reasonable.
After all, Chu Fengge told him that the members of the "Shenji Camp" were all carefully selected from various provinces of the Daqi Dynasty, and they could not be mediocre people.
He will never underestimate his opponents.
At the same time, relying on the rich knowledge in his mind, Gu Xu also recognized that the movement technique used by his opponent was the top-grade martial arts created by Luo Chuan, the leader of the Exorcist Department, and famous for its weirdness and unpredictability - "Meteor Walking on the Moon" ".
This kind of movement is said to be able to conceal the secrets of the sky, like meteors falling from the sky, making it impossible to predict the next landing point.
Having said that...
But in fact, Gu Xu had read in Taoist canon that "meteors move around the moon" seems to have no rules, but in fact it depends on the stars in the sky. to determine the coordinate orientation.
There must be a correlation between the position of the stars and the whereabouts of the other party.
"Perhaps, I can follow this idea and decipher the opponent's movement skills." Gu Xu thought secretly in his heart.
Gu Xu does not have such wonderful magical powers as "Heavenly Calculation".
But he has the talent of [knowledge and strong memory].
The position of the opponent every minute and every second is firmly remembered in his mind.
As long as he wants, he can replay every scene in his mind during the battle without missing any details.
He believes that as long as he collects enough samples, the accuracy of his predictions will continue to improve.
…………
In this way, two young people with extraordinary talents in the "Shenji Camp" began a fierce battle on the mental level.
One is doing data calculations, and the other is doing image analysis.
For a time, the two were evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell the winner.
But Gu Xu’s [Fatal Genius] talent is not just for show.
He felt that in the process of analyzing the opponent's actions, he was gradually comprehending the mysterious footwork of "shooting star walking on the moon".
He learned incredibly fast, as if he had already mastered this spell in his mother's womb.
If he were asked to make gestures now, he would even be able to imitate a 60 to 70% resemblance.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly.
Shangguan Jin was tired of this endless stalemate.
She no longer intends to rely on her body skills to avoid the opponent's blade that follows her.
She decided to take the initiative and launch the winning blow.
So, she moved forward and disappeared into the dark night.
According to her plan, she will appear on the opponent's right side in the next second, while leaving her own afterimage on the opponent's left side, thereby confusing the opponent's perception.
As long as the opponent hesitates for a moment, she can slit the opponent's throat with the flashing green blade in her hand, and then end the fight neatly.
According to the predictions she made using "heavenly calculations", this plan has a 99% success rate.
Nearly perfect.
"I'm tired of this boring game," she said in her heart, staring at the opponent code-named "Suzaku" hidden in the fog, "it's time to end."
< br>However, in the next second, something unexpected happened.
Shangguan Jin did not appear where she expected.
But he stepped on the air, fell off the ring, and fell heavily to the ground outside the ring.
According to the rules of the "Realm of Taoism", as long as you leave the scope of the arena, you will be considered a failure.
Sure enough.
In the vast darkness, a clear line of text emerged:
"Suzaku, win." Shangguan Jin's eyes stayed on this line of text for a long time.
A little disappointed, a little surprised, and a little confused.
She did not expect that she would lose.
I never expected that the other party could interfere with "Meteor Walking on the Moon".
How did he do it?
Is he really just a second-level monk?
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu returned to the real world from the “realm of discussing Tao”.
He slowly stood up from the bamboo mat and stretched.
Sitting cross-legged on the bamboo mat for a long time just now made his legs slightly numb.
At this moment, the "Magic Token" in his hand suddenly started to shine.
Then a line of text appeared in his field of vision——
[Linghu: I gained a lot from my battle with fellow Taoist today; my fellow Taoist’s skills are amazing, I am ashamed of myself. I just have a question that I can't figure out. I hope fellow Taoists can give me some advice. 】
It turns out that this "magic token" can also be used to chat privately!
The saints of the Daqi Dynasty really knew how to play!
Gu Xu sighed silently.
Then he thought and replied:
[Suzaku: What’s the problem? ]
[Linghu: I really want to know why fellow Taoist was able to interfere with my "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique just now? 】
Gu Xu was silent for a moment.
[Suzaku: Why should I tell you? 】
This time, he waited for five minutes before seeing the other party's response.
[Linghu: Hee, Fellow Taoist is really stingy. How about I use the "Golden Light Divine Spell" to exchange the answer to this question with you? As long as you master the "Golden Light Divine Spell", you can use golden light to protect your body and prevent your soul from being harmed by evil spirits. This deal is a great deal for you! 】
[Suzaku: I have learned the "Golden Light Divine Curse". 】
[Linghu: What about the "Spell to Destroy Illusions and Eliminate Disasters"? 】
[Suzaku: I have learned this before. 】
【Linghu: What about the "Godly Curse of Purifying Heaven and Earth"? 】
【Suzaku: I can do this too. 】
【Linghu:...】
…………
Luo Jing, Exorcism Department Headquarters, Retreat Room.
Shangguan Jin frowned slightly as he looked at the new news on the "Shenji Token" and didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.
She felt that the guy codenamed "Suzaku" was simply the most difficult person to communicate with that she had ever seen in her life.
But Shangguan Jin has always been a stubborn person.
Whatever she wants, she will try her best to get it. Sometimes, no matter how high the price is, she doesn't care.
[Linghu: Is there anything you want, fellow Taoist? As long as I have it, I can exchange it with fellow Taoists. 】
…………
This fellow Taoist looks very persistent!
How about taking the opportunity to kill him?
After seeing this news, Gu Xu thought to himself.
In his opinion, this guy named "Linghu" can master such high-grade martial arts as "Meteor Walking on the Moon", so he should be a big businessman.
He tentatively replied:
[Suzaku: I want a middle-grade skill, is that okay? 】
Gu Xu has wanted to change a skill a long time ago - mediocre and bad street skills like "Guiyuan Jue" seriously restricted his cultivation speed.
The other party responded immediately——
[Linghu: No problem. 】
This time it was Gu Xu's turn to be surprised.
He was stunned for a second and sighed sincerely: As expected of a wealthy businessman, he agreed so readily!
