Chapter 246 You Use This, I'll Do Whatever
"Congratulations, my friend. The speed at which you have improved your realm is beyond the reach of this old man."
Facing the teacher's compliment, Gongsun Ce shrugged his shoulders and then transmitted his voice: "My martial arts realm is equivalent to the sixth realm. This breakthrough can be regarded as a result of accumulated experience."
The Master stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "When I was your age, I was still at the Profound Realm."
Gongsun Ce remained silent. He believed that the cultivation method of the Jiang Ye world was of great benefit to his martial arts practice.
Gongsun Ce's current use of the power of heaven and earth has reached the point where he can do it as easily as with his own arm. Once he attains immortality, his body will reach the state of unity between man and nature.
In other words, Gongsun Ce acquired the power of the state of unity between man and nature in advance and then made a breakthrough.
Gongsun Ce had a feeling that after breaking through the realm of unity between man and nature, he might be able to enter the second level in one step.
Changing the seasons is essentially changing the laws of the world.
Spring turns into winter, and summer turns into spring, which is the modification of the law.
Gongsun Ce felt that Zhu Rong’s original description of the state of unity between man and nature might not be detailed enough, and changing the world and modifying time might not be the end of the state of unity between man and nature.
After Gongsun Ce broke through the extraordinary realm, Gongsun Ce continued to discuss the subsequent realm with the Master. At the same time, Li Manman continued to drive the carriage forward.
One day, they came to a desolate town. The buildings in the town looked dilapidated, and most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed. There were few pedestrians on the street, and the air was filled with a sense of loneliness and desolation.
Li walked slowly on the streets of the town, feeling a little confused.
Why is such a small town so desolate? He looked around, trying to find some clues, but found nothing.
Just as he was about to leave, the rhythmic sound of chopping meat reached his ears.
Li slowly shouted into the car: "Master, maybe we have found our target."
Gongsun Ce and the Master got off the ox cart and walked towards the source of the sound, only to see a butcher busy at a meat stall.
He had a head full of white hair, old clothes, and wrinkles on his face that crisscrossed like ravines. Although his facial features looked a little hideous, his eyes revealed a firmness and calmness.
He held a huge butcher knife in his hand. The blade was flashing with cold light and looked extremely heavy.
Gongsun Ce stood in front of the meat stall, carefully observing the butcher's movements.
He found that although the butcher looked old, the knife in his hand was steady, and every swing of the knife was as smooth as flowing water.
What surprised Gongsun Ce even more was that he could tell that the knife must have weighed more than ten thousand pounds, but the butcher lifted it with ease, as if the knife in his hand was just a feather.
"Butcher?"
The Master asked about the other party's identity. The butcher took one look at the Master and instantly felt scared to death.
"Why are you here?" After the butcher spoke, he sensed the surroundings. When he found that Haotian's eyes were not looking at him, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Why did you come to disturb our lives?"
The butcher felt very aggrieved. During the Eternal Night period and before, he was afraid of Haotian.
After the Eternal Night, he was under the shadow brought by Haotian for a long time. After getting rid of the psychological shadow, he heard about the sudden appearance of the Master again.
For the butcher, he has been hiding. He is avoiding Haotian's gaze and the Master's search.
The butcher believed that the Master, the strongest man in the world, would look for him and the drunkard in order to understand Haotian and Yongye.
However, once he starts to narrate the past, it is not certain whether his psychological shadow will once again cover himself, but Haotian's gaze will definitely come.
By then, he and the drunkard will definitely be liquidated by Haotian, because they are just fish that slipped through Haotian's net.
But this does not mean that Haotian does not want to try these two fish that have escaped the net. They are both in the sixth realm.
Compared to the Master, they can only be considered appetizers for Haotian, but who would refuse appetizers before a big meal?
Just as the butcher was about to wake up the drunkard and run away together, a strong smell of alcohol broke the silence.
The drunkard staggered out from the shadows behind the butcher's house.
His eyes were blurry, but when he saw the Master, a hint of clarity flashed in them.
The Master smiled and waved to the drunkard as a greeting.
The drunkard stepped forward quickly, grabbed the butcher's arm, and prepared to use his supernatural power to escape with the butcher.
Gongsun Ce smiled slightly, he had already seen through the drunkard's intention.
He waved his hand gently, and the surrounding stones seemed to be given life. They flew up quickly and formed a strange shape around the drunkard and the butcher.
This is the Fish in the Pond and Bird in a Cage Formation that Gongsun Ce saw from Zhishou Temple, a magical formation that can restrain the supernatural power of Wu Shi.
The drunkard felt the changes in his surroundings and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
He tried to activate his infinite magical power, but found that his magical power seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and could not be used.
He looked at Gongsun Ce and the Master in astonishment, his eyes filled with confusion and anger.
"Master, we have no grudges in the past or in the present, why do you want to disrupt our peaceful life?" the drunkard roared. His voice echoed in the empty street, with a hint of despair and unwillingness.
The Master glanced at him calmly and said, "I don't mean to disrupt your lives, but there are some things that need to be clarified."
The drunkard sneered and said, "Something? That's not just something, that's a big thing that will cost us our lives!"
Gongsun Ce shook his head and said in a voice transmission: "Actually, you don't need to ask. I have a way to see it directly. You two just need to relax your minds and let me investigate. Then I can see your past."
When the drunkard heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously looked at the butcher, but found that the butcher's face was still as calm as water, as if he had not heard their conversation.
After years of living together, the drunkard knew that the butcher meant for him to make the decision.
The drunkard gritted his teeth and said, "Unless you and Mr. Da can defeat me and the butcher, we will have a face-to-face meeting."
The two people were able to survive the last eternal night, not only because of their profound cultivation, but also because they knew what was best for them and were good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
The drunkard knew that he and the butcher together were no match for the Master, but that didn't mean he and the butcher were not a match for Gongsun Ce and Li Manman.
Therefore, the drunkard made this decision. As long as Li Manman and Gongsun Ce could not defeat the two respectively, even if one won and the other lost, the drunkard believed that the Master would not make things difficult for them and would let them leave.
They didn't dare to directly tell the information about Haotian. But they really didn't want to be watched by others like monkeys and recall their past memories.
The Master did not speak but looked at Gongsun Ce. Gongsun Ce nodded and then said to the drunkard, "Of course you can. I will fight the butcher and Li Manman will fight you."
"Okay." The drunkard nodded, "It's a deal."
"It's a deal." The drunkard naturally hoped to get the Master's promise, so the drunkard looked at the Master as he said this, and the Master responded in cooperation.
Gongsun Ce took off the Sun-Covering Sword from his waist and handed it to Li Manman, saying, "You use this."
Li Manman asked with some confusion: "I use this? Then what does the gentleman use?"
"I'm fine with it." Gongsun Ce waved his hand and drew out the Tianwen sword hanging from his waist.
It is true that Li Manman is at the Wuju realm, but there is a problem with Li Manman, that is, he does not know how to fight.
At this moment, Li Manman took over Gongsun Ce's Sun-Covering Sword. When the sharp blade was unsheathed, he suddenly understood the use of the Sun-Covering Sword.
"Cough cough."
Then Li coughed gently a few times, suppressing the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up, as if the crooked-mouthed Dragon King was being forcibly flattened by someone.
The sword of the Sun-Covering Sword is engraved with magical symbols such as "light, darkness, sharp, and empty". In addition to absorbing light, the Sun-Covering Sword can also open up a small alien space.
Li Manman looked at the drunkard slowly, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Gongsun Ce and the butcher stood aside in tacit understanding, waiting for the two to decide the winner.
Gongsun Ce knew that the butcher and the drunkard's idea was that as long as there was one win and one loss, they could leave with a clear conscience.
Therefore, as long as the drunkard can win, the butcher has no reason to take action.
But if the drunkard loses, the butcher will have no choice but to fight to the death.
The drunkard was the first to break the silence. He smiled slightly, and with a flash of his body, he turned into a shadow and rushed towards Li Manman.
He was extremely fast and passed through the gaps between the vital energy to come in front of Li Manman. This was the infinite magical power he possessed.
Besides being in the sixth realm of the boundless state, the drunkard is also in the sixth realm of the immeasurable state.
In the eyes of the drunkard and the butcher, the drunkard is more likely to win.
A trace of solemnity flashed across Li Manman's eyes, but he did not panic. Instead, he took a deep breath and slowly raised the Sun-Covering Sword in his hand. The magical symbols of "empty", "light" and "dark" on the sword began to emit a faint light.
Just when the drunkard was about to touch Li Manman, Li Manman suddenly raised the Sun-Covering Sword with the tip of the sword pointing straight to the sky.
A dazzling light burst out from the tip of the sword, instantly enveloping the two of them.
The drunkard only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar space.
There is nothingness all around here, no sky, no earth, only endless darkness and silence.
The drunkard was shocked, he realized that this was the different space that Li Manman opened up with the Sun-Covering Sword.
He tried to mobilize his infinite magical power to leave this space, but found that his magical power was completely ineffective in this space.
He secretly groaned in his heart, he didn't expect that Li Manman would have such a method.
At this moment, Li Manman's figure suddenly appeared in front of the drunkard.
He held the Sun-Covering Sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the drunkard's throat.
The drunkard quickly used his magical powers of the infinite realm to mobilize the power of the earth for defense.
However, the Infinite Realm was unable to absorb any power from the earth when it was put into use.
The drunkard's heart sank, he knew he was in a desperate situation.
He took a deep breath and tried to mobilize the mental power in his body to resist Li Manman's attack.
But in this strange space, his mental power was greatly restricted and he was unable to exert its due power.
Li slowly looked at the drunkard, a gleam of determination in his eyes.
The Sun-Covering Sword in his hand glowed again, and the character "Li" on the sword began to flicker.
He swung his sword violently, and the sword light cut through the darkness like a silk thread, heading straight for the drunkard.
The drunkard only had time to let out a cry of surprise before he was hit by the sword. He felt a sharp pain and was almost split in half by the sword. A scar appeared on his forehead that spread downwards.
Blood spurted out, dyeing the surrounding darkness red.
The drunkard fell to the ground, his eyes full of fear and unwillingness.
He didn't expect that he would be defeated so badly that he didn't even have a chance to fight back.
He struggled to raise his head, looked at Li Manman, and begged for mercy with difficulty: "I... I give up... Please... please let me go..."
Li looked at the drunkard slowly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly put away the Sun-Covering Sword.
He did not kill the drunkard directly, but chose to give him a chance.
Li slowly unlocked the alien space, and the drunkard appeared in the outside world. The moment the drunkard touched the earth, he began to instinctively absorb the power of the earth to recover himself.
The wounds on the drunkard's body began to close, and the blood that was flowing out was forcefully stopped.
The butcher looked at Gongsun Ce at this moment, his eyes full of fear. If Gongsun Ce gave Li Manman the Sun-Covering Sword, there must be some calculation in it.
The butcher was not sure whether the Tianwen sword in Gongsun Ce's hand could also restrain him.
"Please come in." Gongsun Ce said in a voice transmission.
"Please." The butcher looked at Gongsun Ce cautiously. He knew that from this moment on, he should fight to the death.
The butcher slowly raised the knife in his hand, and the sharpness of this extremely heavy knife only showed at this moment.
"Look at the knife!"
The knife arrived before the sword. The heavy blade slashed with a burst of pressure, and the air was compressed by the blade and turned into a sharp blade to slash towards Gongsun Ce, and behind the air blade was the butcher's knife.
Gongsun Ce smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand and drew a circle in front of him to perform the Reverse Tianyuan, and the Eye of Void appeared in front of the butcher.
The air blade was absorbed by the Eye of the Void. Gongsun Ce turned his index finger in front of him, and the Eye of the Void turned reversed. With the blessing of the Reverse Tianyuan, the air blade increased its power tenfold and slashed towards the butcher.
The butcher saw that the air blade he created was hurting him but he had no time to dodge. The butcher had a strong physique, but his speed was not as fast as the drunkard who was in the state of no distance.
The air blade was extremely fast, as if it could tear apart anything that stood in its way.
However, the butcher was not at all flustered. He took a deep breath, lowered his body slightly, and swung the butcher knife in his hand violently.
With a loud "clang", the butcher knife and the air blade collided in the air, making a deafening sound of metal collision.
The butcher's strength was so great that he split the air with a sharp blade.
The sharp blades of air that were split apart instantly dissipated and turned into invisible air currents that spread everywhere.
However, the air currents did not completely dissipate. They quickly condensed in the air and turned into two sharper air blades, slashing towards the ground behind the butcher.
Although the butcher had his back to the sharp air blade, his perception was extremely sharp.
He turned around quickly and saw two sharp air blades hitting the ground.
"Boom--" The earth shook violently under the impact of the sharp air blade, as if it was about to crack.
Two deep pits instantly appeared behind the butcher, they were bottomless and their edges were as smooth as mirrors.
The acrid smell of torn earth and rock filled the air, and the butcher held his breath.
The butcher still held the knife tightly in his hand and chopped towards Gongsun Ce with unabated force. The force was so strong that Gongsun Ce felt like a strong wind blowing in his face.
Gongsun Ce raised his eyebrows slightly, then stretched out his left hand and grasped the butcher's wrist. Gongsun Ce secretly used his left hand to push the butcher away. At this moment, the butcher turned his wrist and slashed the butcher knife towards Gongsun Ce's left hand.
Gongsun Ce released his left hand in time to avoid the butcher's knife, and then swung the Tianwen sword in his right hand.
The character "Kun" representing the earth and the character "Gen" representing the mountain on the Tianwen Sword lit up, and the Tianwen Sword was suddenly blessed by gravity.
The butcher felt the evil wind coming from the Tianwen Sword. Without time to think, he decisively retracted his butcher knife to block the heavy blow from the Tianwen Sword.
"when!"
A deafening metal collision sound was heard, and the butcher was repelled by Gongsun Ce.
The butcher's feet sank deeply into the ground under the huge force of the Tianwen Sword. When the butcher was knocked back, his feet plowed two drag marks on the ground.
When Butcher's Knife stopped retreating, half of his body had been buried underground.
The butcher looked dusty and dusty, but he didn't know that this was a sign of his successful release of force.
The house behind the butcher took the full force of Gongsun Ce's attack. With a loud bang, the entire house collapsed into ruins.
Then the ground below the cabin began to crack, and the hole formed by the crack swallowed up the remains of the cabin, leaving no trace of the entire cabin.
The crack in the ground was still spreading backwards. The butcher felt what was happening behind him and his face looked a little ugly.
"Gen, which represents the mountain, will give the Tianwen Sword weight, and Kun, which represents the earth, will increase the gravity of the Tianwen Sword. In fact, I didn't use too much force in the previous attack.
Everything was caused by the sudden increase in the weight of the Tianwen Sword at that moment, so Butcher, do you still want to fight?"
Gongsun Ce's message was heartbreaking to the butcher. His heavy sword and physique, which he was so proud of, were vulnerable to the power of the Tianwen Sword.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the butcher knife itself was made of special material and was not damaged when it collided with the Tianwen Sword.
"war!"
The butcher uttered a sentence. Although he was a coward, it didn’t mean he was willing to let others read his memory easily, so he needed psychological comfort.
For example, after being defeated by Gongsun Ce, he was forced to have his memory read.
Gongsun Ce shook his head. He could see that the butcher had been shaken. In his heart, he had already agreed to let Gongsun Ce read his memory, but he needed a reason, or more precisely, an excuse.
"Then I'll be serious. Be careful, butcher."
When Tu Dao heard Gongsun Ce's message, he instinctively swallowed his saliva to relieve the pressure in his heart.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed in Gongsun Ce's eyes.
He silently recited the dragon text of Time Zero in his heart. As Gongsun Ce finished his silent recitation, an invisible realm quietly unfolded with Gongsun Ce as the center.
In this area, Gongsun Ce's speed was greatly improved, while everything in the outside world became slow.
Gongsun Ce flashed and appeared in front of the butcher.
The butcher only felt that a shadow seemed to pass before his eyes. Before he had time to react, and could not see the trajectory of Gongsun Ce's movements clearly, he felt a gust of evil wind blowing in his face.
He instinctively raised the butcher knife to block, but it only left another wound on his body.
The butcher could only defend himself based on his instincts and rich combat experience, but every time he swung his knife he hit nothing.
The butcher knew that Gongsun Ce was already taking action, but his eyes told him that Gongsun Ce was still standing there.
The coordination time is zero, which makes Gongsun Ce seem to have been standing in the same place without moving.
Apart from the Master who was watching the battle and locked onto Gongsun Ce's movements based on the fluctuations of the elemental energy of heaven and earth, even the drunkard who was proficient in the magical power of unlimited distance and good at running away could not lock onto Gongsun Ce's figure.
The butcher could only rely on his intuition to determine Gongsun Ce's position and movements, but even so, he could not resist Gongsun Ce's attack.
Gongsun Ce's attacks were like a torrential rain, continuously falling on the butcher.
The butcher's body was soon covered with wounds of varying sizes, and blood was constantly oozing out. But he gritted his teeth and insisted on not falling down.
He knew he would lose, but he couldn't lose so badly. It was his remaining self-esteem that was at work.
However, Gongsun Ce's attack showed no signs of stopping.
He seemed to have turned into a tireless machine, launching attacks continuously.
The butcher could only rely on his physique, which was close to the seventh level of immortality in the Demon Sect, to support himself and not fall down.
Just when the butcher was about to collapse, Gongsun Ce suddenly stopped attacking.
He returned to where he had been standing, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, in the butcher's eyes, Gongsun Ce did not leave the place, but the large and small wounds on the butcher's knife told him that Gongsun Ce had indeed attacked him.
The butcher raised his head and looked into Gongsun Ce's calm and deep eyes, and an inexplicable respect surged in his heart.
"I lost." After a long time the butcher finally spoke.
He threw down the butcher knife in his hand, sat cross-legged and began to repair his injuries.
Soon Gongsun Ce took back the Sun-Covering Sword and the Tianwen Sword, and then Gongsun Ce glanced at the Master.
The Master nodded, raised his hand, and used his telekinesis to gather the drunkard and the butcher together, making it easier for Gongsun Ce to read their memories.
Gongsun Ce placed his left and right hands on the drunkard and the butcher's heads respectively and quickly read the memories of the two.
Gongsun Ce nodded to the Master, and then the two of them got on the ox cart and left the desolate town.
The drunkard and the butcher looked at each other, as if they had not expected that the Master and Gongsun Ce would let them go so easily.
Just after Gongsun Ce left, the drunkard and the butcher discovered that there was a ball of mental power lurking in their minds.
This ball of mental power was very quiet, but it made the drunkard and the butcher feel cold all over. They knew that this was Gongsun Ce's way of restraining the two of them.
As long as the two of them make any unusual movements, I'm afraid this thing will directly wipe out their souls.
The two looked at each other and could only smile bitterly. It was better to be enslaved than to die. At least they were still alive.
"My dear friend, is there a way for us to watch your memories together?"
On the ox cart, Gongsun Ce had been watching with his eyes closed the butcher's realization of the immortal realm, so the Master was very curious about what the butcher and the drunkard saw during the last eternal night.
Gongsun Ce opened his eyes and handed his hand to the Master. The Master held Gongsun Ce's hand, and his consciousness immediately came to the butcher's memories.
Seeing the dark scene before him, the Master stroked his white beard unconsciously. It was indeed impossible to survive in such an environment.
