Chapter 173 Water and Fire
"Okay, okay, okay! I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still so many human supremacist bigots in this world!
Then I will kill all of you bigots today! I want to see if all humans are bigots in the face of absolute strength!"
After Narcissus raised his head and drank for a long time, he suddenly stared at Zhu Chengwu and others with fierce eyes.
Because of the fierce eyes and sharp aura, even Narcissus, who was as handsome as Pan An, no longer looked so elegant at this moment.
As an alien, Narcissus has been hiding from human strongmen for thousands of years. Although Narcissus has a noble character, he can't help but feel angry.
This time, Zhu Chengwu and others managed to seduce out the suppressed energy in Narcissus' heart.
“Dear seniors, although Narcissus and Snow Crystal Spirit are not human, they are both good people… good elves!
Don't be deceived by that Marquis Fu'an!
The reason why Marquis Fu'an targeted Narcissus and Snow Crystal Spirit was not because of "those who are not of my race must have different hearts", but because he wanted Snow Crystal Spirit's companion spirit..."
Just as Zhu Chengwu and others were confronting Narcissus and Xue Jingling, and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense and both sides were waiting for their chance to strike, Dai Qian, Long Fei's husband who had just killed Guan Shanyue, suddenly came to his senses and spoke sincerely to Zhu Yuyan, Murong Qiudi and others.
Because of their relationship with Dai Qian and because the enemies before them were numerous and powerful, Narcissus and Xue Jingling did not interrupt Dai Qian's speech and wanted to try whether Dai Qian could divide the enemy's combat power.
Although Narcissus's words were strong, she was still unsure of herself when facing four masters and a Yang God at the same time.
Otherwise, why would Narcissus keep talking big instead of taking action immediately?
It is generally recognized and based on the experience of the predecessors, even a peak Yang God or a peak Grandmaster can only match 3-5 ordinary Yang Gods or ordinary Grandmasters.
The enemies in front of Narcissus not only numbered five, but also included a strong man like Zhu Chengwu who had fought with him before, a legendary figure like Murong Qiudi whose fame had spread to the Nanzhu Kingdom, and a combination of the Grandmaster and the Yang God.
Everyone knows that the combination of a Grandmaster and a Yang God is far greater than the combination of a single Grandmaster and a single Yang God.
Narcissus and Xue Jingling had no idea how deep the conflict between Zhu Chengwu and Zhu Qinyu was, and how they distributed their opponents.
Narcissus and Xue Jingling would never have thought that Zhu Chengwu and the others would arrange the only Yang God in the team to fight the enemy alone.
"kill…"
As soon as Dai Qian mentioned the term "companion spirit", Zhu Chengwu and others did not let him continue speaking and chose to take action first.
Moreover, the first person to take action was not Zhu Chengwu, the seemingly leader who had fought with Narcissus, but the real leader of Zhu Chengwu's team - Zhu Yuyan.
The real target of Zhu Yuyan, Zhu Chengwu and others this time has always been "those who are not of my race must have different hearts", but the companion spirit of Narcissus "Silver Dollar Pure Water" and the companion spirit of Snow Crystal Spirit "Jade Marrow Ice Soul".
Therefore, Dai Qian's persuasion could not be a reason to convince Zhu Yuyan and others from the very beginning.
Moreover, Dai Qian had already mentioned the "companion spirit", so Zhu Yuyan couldn't let Dai Qian continue.
If Dai Qian continued to talk, and Narcissus or the Duke of Yan and others beside him would realize their true purpose, complications might arise.
Therefore, as the real leader, Zhu Yuyan, who wanted to obtain the Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul very much, chose to take direct action and interrupt Dai Qian's unfinished words.
As for before, Zhu Yuyan allowed Zhu Chengwu and Narcissus to say so much, just to seize the high ground of public opinion and weaken the reasons for Duke Yan and others to intervene.
"According to the plan!" Seeing Master Zhu Yuyan taking action, Wanwan immediately flew up and followed.
At the same time, Wanwan quickly gave this instruction.
It seems that Wanwan is also worried that Zhu Chengwu and Zhu Qinyu will influence each other, thus affecting her master Zhu Yuyan's goal of obtaining the Silver Dollar Pure Water and Jade Marrow Ice Soul.
"Hahahaha~~
Narcissus, without the geographical advantage of the Millennium Ice Valley, and without the soul-refining formation that you and Snow Crystal Spirit hid in advance in the Millennium Ice Valley, I want to see how you can put me at a disadvantage this time?
Today I will avenge the Millennium Ice Valley for not even daring to fight, and will do everything I can to withdraw from the Millennium Ice Valley!"
Zhu Chengwu rushed towards Narcissus with a big laugh, trying to attract Narcissus's attention with his words, so as to prevent Narcissus from thinking of their real purpose under Dai Qian's "reminder".
"Humph~ You are such a treacherous and cunning fellow! In the Millennium Ice Valley, I gave you a chance to escape, but I won't give you such a chance again this time!"
As expected, Narcissus was attracted by Zhu Chengwu's words and retorted during the fight.
As evenly matched opponents, Narcissus and Zhu Chengwu can only attract each other's attention.
Duke Yan and others who heard the conversation between Zhu Chengwu and Narcissus looked at each other again secretly.
They just say it!
Even if Narcissus was a peak Yang God, how could he so easily suppress Zhu Chengwu, the Marquis of Fu'an who defeated the four great Shaolin masters.
They were wondering before, was Zhu Chengwu injured or was Narcissus too powerful?
Now the truth is finally clear!
Indeed, if the spirit is refined and prepared and the formation is arranged in advance, it can suppress warriors of the same level!
This is recognized by the martial arts world and is the historical experience of this world for thousands of years.
But now that the Millennium Ice Valley is gone and the formations that have been set up in advance are gone, can Narcissus still suppress Fu'an Hou Zhu Chengwu?
What's more, Zhu Chengwu's teammates are obviously more numerous and stronger than Narcissus's teammates!
What choice should they make?
Seeing Zhu Chengwu defeat Narcissus, his prestige increased greatly, and he obtained the Thousand-Year Ice Soul. Or did he choose to help Narcissus, an outlier, and use the power of Narcissus's peak Yang God to fight against Zhu Chengwu, whose strength, power, and friends were getting stronger and stronger.
But once they choose to join forces with the aliens, will they push more human masters and Yang Shen to Zhu Chengwu's side?
"Let's not talk about other Grandmaster Yang Shen for now, even the little Li Tanhua next to us may not agree to help outliers like Narcissus and Xue Jingling!" Duke Yan glanced at Li Xunhuan beside him secretly and said in his heart.
Non-my family, its heart must be different!
This is a mainstream concept in this world!
"Lotus Fire God, blazing sun fire!" After only two or three test moves, Zhu Chengwu directly used the secret technique of "Lotus Fire God".
The whole person immediately turned into a ball of blazing fire, continuously smashing towards Narcissus.
This is a new move created by Zhu Chengwu by combining the "Lotus Fire God" secret technique and the Blazing Sun Fiery Palm that he had just developed.
Facing a peak Yang God like Narcissus, a high-level companion spirit of rare treasures of heaven and earth, even if Narcissus lost the advantage of terrain and the large magic array set up in advance, Zhu Chengwu, who was still injured and served as the main attacker, would not be able to retain much.
Therefore, Zhu Chengwu directly demanded from the very beginning that he and Zhu Qinyu should not be on the same battlefield!
When fighting against a powerful enemy of equal strength, it would be very troublesome and dangerous if you were backstabbed by your teammates!
"The clean water is magnificent, benefiting the world and destroying the world!"
Faced with Zhu Chengwu's unreserved and powerful attack, Narcissus, who no longer had the advantage of the Millennium Ice Valley and the support of the large-scale formation set up in advance, began to show his profound foundation accumulated over thousands of years.
The whole person was like a surging, world-destroying water that kept surging towards Zhu Chengwu.
Water and fire are merciless, water and fire are opposites!
A ball of blazing flame and a surging wave immediately moved rapidly left and right and up and down in the palace of the Nanzhu Kingdom, destroying the entire palace of the Nanzhu Kingdom beyond recognition.
"Narcissus is even stronger than I expected! Fortunately, Marquis Fu'an was persuaded, otherwise..." Queen Zhu Yuyan, who was staring at the battle between Zhu Chengwu and Narcissus and was always ready to intervene at the right time, was secretly shocked when she saw this scene.
Whether it is the number one master of the Ming Dynasty - Zhu Chengwu of Fu'an Marquis Mansion or the miraculous life of heaven and earth - Narcissus, the elf of heaven and earth, their current performance is too strong, and this strength seems to be even stronger than the number one master of the Sui Dynasty, Ning Daoqi.
"Is Narcissus still practicing pure spiritual cultivation? It seems that what Marquis Fu'an is using is no longer pure martial arts!"
Not only Zhu Yuyan, everyone present was frightened.
Zhu Chengwu's method of turning his body into fire is already surprising enough, but after all, Zhu Chengwu, as a contemporary martial arts legend, is a man who creates miracles. In addition, it is a common knowledge that Zhu Chengwu possesses the Earth's Core Fire Lotus in his body.
Therefore, everyone present could accept Zhu Chengwu's strong performance.
But Narcissus is different!
Although Narcissus is a spirit of heaven and earth that has lived for thousands of years, a living witness of history, and a living fossil, very few people know Narcissus, and very few people understand and expect Narcissus's strength.
So when Narcissus also showed such a strong attitude, it was even more surprising. This is the influence of preconceived and inherent impressions on people.
It was obvious that Narcissus was the one who had been practicing for thousands of years, and Zhu Chengwu was just a younger practitioner who was less than thirty years old.
But when Zhu Chengwu and Narcissus both showed extremely strong combat capabilities beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Everyone actually found it easier to accept Zhu Chengwu's strength!
Of course, there was another important reason why everyone present was surprised by Narcissus's power.
Everyone in the world says that once Yang Shen loses the help of the formation, when facing a warrior of the same level head-on, especially when being approached by a warrior of the same level, he will be defeated and taken down without any resistance.
But this theory has been broken by Narcissus today.
Narcissus’ strong performance was unexpected, but also reasonable!
Narcissus already possesses some of the essence of a high-level treasure of heaven and earth, and with thousands of years of practice...
This gave Narcissus, who practiced the way of spiritual cultivation, the confidence and ability to face off against warriors of the same level.
Zhu Chengwu and Narcissus are unexpectedly powerful. Zhu Yuyan is okay. She has made great progress on the path of becoming a master. She is only one step away from becoming a top master (grand master) and has the ability to intervene in the battle at any time.
But Murong Qiudi, Zhu Qinyu and Wanwan do not have such strength and ability.
At the moment, Zhu Chengwu alone can temporarily fight against Narcissus, and Zhu Yuyan alone is enough to hold the foreground temporarily!
Murong Qiudi and others immediately changed their plans and surrounded Xue Jingling together.
No one spoke. Wanwan's Heavenly Demonic Skill, Murong Qiudi's Soul-Snatching Sword, and Zhu Qinyu's Yellow Springs Taoism were already heading straight for Xue Jingling.
"You, you guys..."
Xue Jingling was horrified when she saw Wanwan and others suddenly surrounding her.
But Xue Jingling has lived for hundreds or thousands of years. Although he is not as old as Narcissus, his growth over these years is enough to make him a pig demon even if he is still a pig!
What's more, the Snow Crystal Spirit is a rare spirit of heaven and earth!
"Drink~~"
With a delicate cry, the Snow Crystal Spirit cast a spell, and ice walls suddenly appeared on the scene, blocking the way of Wanwan and others.
"The devil destroys the world!"
Without any hesitation, Wanwan directly used the forbidden technique!
In the plan that had been discussed in advance, delaying Xue Jingling was originally Wanwan's mission. Now that there was such a good opportunity to capture Xue Jingling in one fell swoop, Wanwan naturally had to seize it.
In addition, Wanwan's martial arts strength is the weakest among the four. With the combat power shown by Narcissus now, even if Wanwan maintains her peak condition, she will not play a big role in the siege of Narcissus.
Instead of that, it would be better to use the forbidden technique now and capture the Snow Crystal Spirit.
Wanwan thought that this was the better choice to help her master obtain the Jadeite Ice Soul and Silver Dollar Purified Water.
Boom~~
The ice walls were shattered by the powerful pulling force of the Demonic Chaos.
Xue Jingling looked at Wanwan in front of her with surprise.
Wanwan's determination and decisiveness clearly exceeded Xue Jingling's expectations.
Although Murong Qiudi and Zhu Qinyu were also shocked by Wanwan's determination and decisiveness, they were both people who had experienced the test of battle. They did not waste the opportunity created by Wanwan's forbidden technique, and directly pushed the ultimate move in their hands to a higher level.
"Drink~~"
Seeing the unexpectedly powerful enemy in front of him, Snow Crystal Spirit exerted his strength again.
"puff……"
Just as the Snow Crystal Spirit was about to exert his strength, he suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood.
If you fail to exert your strength, you will suffer backlash.
The Snow Crystal Spirit immediately lost the opportunity to respond to the siege in other ways.
After all, without a companion spirit and not in the Millennium Ice Valley, the Snow Crystal Spirit's strength was greatly affected.
It caused backlash to itself during the battle, which was also a manifestation of the Snow Crystal Spirit's lack of combat experience.
The devil's world-destroying aura pulled Snow Crystal Spirit around, controlling her body shape.
The Soul-Snatching Life-Snatching Sword pierced directly into Xue Jingling's heart.
The Yellow Springs Taoism constantly devours Xue Jingling's soul, and is about to make her soul sink into the boundless Yellow Springs purgatory.
bang...
Xue Jingling was nailed to the ground by Murong Qiudi with the Soul-Snatching Sword.
"Ah~~"
The Snow Crystal Spirit howled in pain as its body and soul suffered a double blow.
"Crystal Spirit!"
Seeing Xue Jingling suddenly suffer such a fatal injury, Long Fei's husband Dai Qian had no time to think or say anything, he just flew to rescue her, waving the sword in his hand.
However, the gap in strength will not change because of Dai Qian's anxiety.
The distance will not be shortened because of the feelings between them.
"Those who are not of our race must have different hearts! Anyone who speaks for or helps other races is a traitor to the human race and should be treated as an alien!"
Murong Qiudi looked at Dai Qian who was flying towards him and swung the long sword in his hand, combining the magic sword technique of Xie Xiaofeng and the soul-snatching and life-stealing sword technique of Yan Shisan's Thirteen Swords to suppress Dai Qian firmly.
bang...
After only three moves, Dai Qian was defeated by Murong Qiudi's sword.
All this is thanks to the help of the thousand-year-old ice soul in Dai Qian's body.
Otherwise, there was no way Dai Qian could have lasted until the third move before being defeated by Murong Qiudi, and he was only slightly injured.
"You gave your companion spirit to an outsider and put yourself in a weak state! You are a disgrace to the spirits of heaven and earth and to the females!"
After repelling Dai Qian, Murong Qiudi said as he looked at Xue Jingling lying on the ground without any resistance.
Murong Qiudi was once young and crazy about love.
Decades ago, Murong Qiudi, the daughter of the Murong family, was attracted by Xie Xiaofeng, the most talented swordsman in Jiangnan, and eloped with Xie Xiaofeng. However, Xie Xiaofeng later abandoned her, and Murong Qiudi found out that she was pregnant.
Xie Xiaofeng asked her to wait for him for seven years, but in fact he was just deceiving her. Murong Qiudi managed the Murong family while secretly running the huge underworld force "Tianzun" and gave birth to Xie Xiaofeng's illegitimate son Xie Xiaodi.
After discovering Xie Xiaofeng's deception, Murong Qiudi, while running the underworld force "Tianzun" in an attempt to annex Xie's Excalibur Villa, finds Yan Shisan, a deadly swordsman who is as famous as Xie Xiaofeng but is weaker in every way, and asks Yan Shisan to oppose Xie Xiaofeng everywhere.
It was not until several decades later that the love, hatred, grudges and entanglements between Murong Qiudi, Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan finally came to an end.
Yan Shisan volunteered to die in battle, Xie Xiaofeng retired to the Xie family's Shenjian Villa, and Murong Qiudi rarely left the Qixingtang of the Murong family in Jiangnan.
Although many things have passed, the momentary impulse in her youth is a dark history and painful memory that Murong Qiudi will never be able to erase in her life.
So even though they were enemies, Murong Qiudi couldn't help but say a few more words when she saw Xue Jingling being crazy about love and not caring about putting herself in danger for a man.
