Chapter 96: White Clothes and Barefoot, Peerless Elf

At this critical moment when the two were about to fight, the appearance of Ning Daoqi could be said to have instantly changed the situation on the field.

Shi Zhixuan, Ning Daoqi and Li Gong, three figures, stood in three directions.

The situation on the field can be said to be extremely complicated.

There has been an old grudge between Shi Zhixuan and Ning Daoqi, and Ning Daoqi has tried to kill Shi Zhixuan several times.

The same goes for Ning Daoqi and Li Gong. One supports Cihang Jingzhai, while the other is a representative of the Yingui Sect. The grudge between the two sides has been going on for more than just one or two days.

As for the relationship between Shi Zhixuan and Li Gong, there is no need to say more. Li Gong came here specifically for Shi Zhixuan.

It can be said that any two of the three are real enemies.

If one of them was removed, the game would probably be in full swing.

But three of them happened to appear at the same time.

This also made the situation on the field extremely tense, but also fell into a strange balance.

"Ning Daoqi, are you deliberately trying to ruin my business?"

Li Gong's cold voice rang out, and anyone could hear his anger.

Indeed, Shi Zhixuan has disappeared from the world in recent years and no one knows his whereabouts.

Now that he had finally waited for the other party to show up, Li Gong was ready to finish him off once and for all, but at the critical moment, Ning Daoqi, this troublemaker, showed up.

Not to mention Li Gong, anyone else would probably be furious.

"Brother Li, you are too serious. I am not here to cause trouble."

"Brother Li, do whatever you want."

Ning Daoqi bowed slightly and spoke in a calm voice.

But this sentence is obviously nonsense.

Anyone would probably feel uncomfortable if there was a grandmaster standing next to them during a battle.

Not to mention, this grandmaster has enemies.

"Ning Daoqi, are you teasing me?"

"If you really want to fight, I will fight you thoroughly."

Li Gong's eyes turned red, and the Dharma image behind him kept tumbling, making bursts of shrill roars, and rushed towards Ning Daoqi.

"Brother Li misunderstood."

Ning Daoqi slowly spread his hands.

A flickering circle appeared behind him, as if it was in harmony with the surrounding world.

The blood and demonic energy that was rolling in instantly dissipated into nothingness.

A strong sense of vitality emerged between heaven and earth.

It is an endless cycle with no beginning and no end.

But if you look closely, you can find that in the center of the vibrant circle, a completely opposite artistic conception is being nurtured.

The Dharma image appeared, but Ning Daoqi did not continue to take action.

He just spread his hands and smiled:

"Brother Li misunderstood."

"In our last fight, Brother Li's Heavenly Demon Hand already opened my eyes. In the short term, I really don't have the interest to fight again."

"This time, I didn't show up for Brother Li."

The voice fell.

Everyone understood instantly.

There are only three people in the field. Since they are not here for Li Gong, their target is obvious. Ning Daoqi's target is Shi Zhixuan.

"So, if Brother Li wants to take action, just do it. I will never stop you from taking revenge."

"It's just that Shi Zhixuan is too dangerous. If he returns to the martial arts world, the martial arts world may be in turmoil."

"I showed up just to prevent any accidents, not for Brother Li, but for the people!"

The words fell.

Everyone in the field looked at Shi Zhixuan.

They all understood what Ning Daoqi meant.

He would not stop or get involved in the fight between Li Gong and Shi Zhixuan.

But if Shi Zhixuan chooses to escape, or defeat Li Gong.

Then Ning Daoqi will have to take action to clean up the mess.

In other words, although Ning Daoqi will not launch a siege, in a sense, it is no different from a siege.

Everyone was looking at Shi Zhixuan.

The current situation is not good for him.

The pressure brought by a murderous Li Gong is already great enough.

Now there is Ning Daoqi, who has bluntly stated that he will not let Shi Zhixuan escape.

In such a situation, it is no exaggeration to describe it as a life-or-death situation.

“Brush, brush, brush!”

The moment Ning Daoqi's voice fell.

One figure after another appeared at the same time.

Just like the four people who were defeated by Li Gong before, they all had shiny bald heads.

It is obvious that they are all masters from Jingnian Zen Temple.

After a group of monks appeared, they did not rush forward.

Instead, they quickly took their positions and surrounded the outside, apparently to prevent Shi Zhixuan from escaping.

After all, Shi Zhixuan is most famous for his elusive movements.

Whether it was the four great monks of that year or Ning Daoqi, they all made their moves one after another and allowed the other party to escape easily.

A large group of bald monks, led by a Taoist priest in Taoist robes, gave people a sense of weirdness no matter how they looked at the scene.

"hehe."

Faced with this near-death situation, Shi Zhixuan did not panic at all. Instead, he chuckled and said:
"Ning Daoqi, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still the same. For the sake of Cihang Jingzhai, you are willing to run back and forth and charge into battle."

Ning Daoqi had a calm expression and said casually: "I am only working for the greater good of the people!"

"Hee hee hee!"

As soon as Ning Daoqi finished speaking, a sneer as loud as a silver bell suddenly rang out.

There was no concealment of the sarcasm in the laughter.

Everyone in the field was visibly stunned.

The voice was neither Shi Zhixuan nor Li Gong.

But apart from these two people, there were actually other people in the field who were so bold as to openly mock Ning Daoqi?
"Wanwan, come out!"

Li Gong, who was standing with his hands behind his back, glanced and spoke lightly.

"Ah... I've been discovered." A slightly playful voice sounded.

"Wan'er greets Grand Master Uncle!"

As the voice fell, a woman in white clothes and barefoot revealed her true face in front of everyone.

This moment.

The whole world seemed to have lost its color.

The tense and depressing atmosphere seemed to disappear in an instant.

Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to this suddenly appearing young girl who embodied the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Wanwan, why did you come here? Did you lose to the descendants of Cihang Jingzhai?" Li Gong raised his eyebrows and said.

"No way." Wanwan wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Wan'er will never lose to the nun from Cihang Jingzhai."

"It's just that Wan'er heard that Grand Master wanted to cause trouble for Shi Zhixuan, so she came here specially, wanting to see Grand Master avenge her master up close."

"Hahaha, okay, then you stay by my side and protect yourself."

Li Gong laughed loudly, and facing the most outstanding junior in this faction, there was a hint of softness in Li Gong's cold voice.

"By the way, where's Yuyan?"

"Master has received news that Fan Qinghui suddenly appeared in the south, and has set out to kill her."

"Southern part?" Li Gong frowned, and then sneered: "Are you going to look for Song Que? These are the only methods that Cihang Jingzhai has."

"But even if Song Que is found, I am not afraid."

"Unless you can invite Ling Donglai again, but I'm afraid you can't invite him now!"

Li Gong spoke in a low voice, but his voice did not contain happiness, but regret, as if he hoped that Cihang Jingzhai could succeed and invite that terrible opponent.

"Ah... why is there a Taoist priest among these bald men? Could it be that he couldn't make it among Taoist priests and became a monk instead?"

When Li Gong was sighing in his heart, Wanwan's lively eyes quickly swept across the entire room and fell on Ning Daoqi.

The clear and sweet voice quickly spread throughout the venue.

Everyone knew that Wanwan was deliberately teasing them.

But they couldn't help but be affected by it, and some people even had smiles on their faces.

First, Wanwan’s appearance and voice were indeed too dazzling.

Secondly, Ning Daoqi, combined with the bald guys behind him, was really weird.

"Haha, that's not wrong." Li Gong laughed as he looked at the Dharma image behind Ning Daoqi.

"It has the true meaning of Taoism, which is endless, but also carries a dead and eerie Buddhist state of mind, which is like Taoism but not Taoism, like Buddha but not Buddha."

"Ning Daoqi, you've taken the wrong path!"

These two light sentences indeed directly hit the core of Ning Daoqi's Dharma.

"Party differences and factional differences are nothing but illusions!"

"Whether it's Buddhism or Taoism, the ultimate goal of all methods is to seek the truth. What's the difference?"

Ning Daoqi's voice remained calm, not affected at all.

After all, anyone who can cultivate to the level of a grandmaster is a person of strong mind.

Now that you have decided on a path, you must not question yourself based on a few words from others.

"Enough of the nonsense, let's get started!"

Ning Daoqi's words had just fallen.

A murderous voice suddenly rose up.

The person who spoke was Shi Zhixuan, who was the weakest person on the field at the moment.

No one expected that among the three people in the field, the first one to attack was Shi Zhixuan. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his situation was very unfavorable at this time.

If you are not careful, you might even die here.

In this situation, according to normal people's thinking, they would definitely not fight if they can avoid it.

If there is really no other way, you have to defend yourself or use your body to maneuver and look for a chance to escape.

But Shi Zhixuan truly deserves the title of the Evil King.

The way you act is always beyond other people's expectations.

He actually took the initiative to attack the opponent.

The chilling murderous intent surged out like a flood, and the temperature in the entire venue dropped sharply in an instant.

"How brave!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out. It was the Bloody Hand Li Gong who threatened to take Shi Zhixuan's head.

Looking around, I saw that Shi Zhixuan had appeared in front of Blood Hand Li Gong without me noticing.

The white right hand stretched out like a ghost and pressed forward.

The demonic cloud covering half the sky began to vibrate instantly.

Wanwan, who had been standing next to Li Gong, trembled suddenly.

She felt that at this moment, her whole body seemed to be shrouded in boundless murderous aura, especially Shi Zhixuan's completely dark eyes without a trace of white, which were staring at her intently.

This was Wanwan’s first time entering the martial arts world. She had previously been practicing martial arts in a sect, and had heard from others more than once how terrifying the evil king who once roamed the martial arts world was.

But it was not until this moment that she truly understood the extent of the horror.

"Humph!"

"The evil king is also playing this kind of trick? Ridiculous!"

Li Gong snorted coldly.

He attacked suddenly, and his target was Wanwan.

This method of attacking and then forcing the opponent to rescue is extremely common in the underworld.

"boom!"

Li Gong had an idea.

The Dharma image behind him suddenly began to grow rapidly and surged forward.

In just a moment, the somewhat panicked Wanwan was enveloped in the middle.

Li Gong did not move his hands, but there was a mocking look in his eyes.

If Shi Zhixuan thought that such a simple method could open a gap from him, then he could only respond that it was childish.

Just a breath.

Wanwan's figure disappeared from his sight.

But there was no trace of surprise on Shi Zhixuan's face, as if he had expected everything.

Shi Zhixuan had already stretched out his right hand, and without any hesitation, he directly placed a seal on the sky-high Dharma image in front of him.

And the next second.

Shi Zhixuan's temperament changed quietly.

A voice that sounded like a whisper and also like the sound of a great bell slowly floated out from Shi Zhixuan's mouth.

"I am good at raising!"

"Haoran is upright!"

As soon as the words fell.

A milky white aura quietly emerged, then grew larger and brighter, and in almost the blink of an eye, it spread across half the sky.

Li Gong's expression changed almost instantly!
I couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Confucian noble spirit!"

"boom!"

And just as his words burst out of his mouth.

Shi Zhixuan's palm print also fell.

Endless white gas also poured down, and along with the palm force, it crashed into the monstrous demonic cloud.

“Sizzle, sizzle!”

A sound that makes your scalp tingle resounded through the sky.

It was like a huge red-hot iron ball was suddenly doused with ice-cold water.

Billowing black smoke rose up instantly.

Terrifying aftermaths surged back and forth in the field.

As the voice fell, everyone in the field fell into an uproar.

"The noble spirit of Confucianism!"

This is not an uncommon word.

Confucianism is one of the three prominent schools of thought.

The scope of its dissemination is extremely wide. Although among the countless Confucian scholars, only one can truly be said to have followed the Confucian path.

But with the blessing of the terrifying base number, this number has become extremely considerable.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to see Confucian disciples in the martial arts world and in the court.

Most people have also seen the Confucian spirit of righteousness.

But who is that person in front of him? It is the Evil King Shi Zhixuan.

A demon known to everyone in the world.

Such a person could actually display the most orthodox Confucian spirit with just a wave of his hand.

This is simply a fantasy.

Even if they saw it with their own eyes, many people were extremely dazed and wondered if they were hallucinating.

"Good, good, good!"

Li Gong's angry voice resounded through the sky.

From the sound, it could be determined that this arrogant grandmaster must have suffered a loss in the previous confrontation.

"What a great Shi Zhixuan! Everyone in the world knows that you have integrated the Buddha and the devil, but no one thought you had hidden this skill. You are a practitioner of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and the devil. Well done! You are worthy of being the genius of our Saint Sect."

Li Gong's words were full of praise, but the murderous intent revealed in his voice was as real as day.

"But the move just now was not enough. Come on, I want to see if your noble spirit can suppress my magic cloud."

Li Gong let out a long roar, and took the initiative to unfold the magic cloud, while his right hand also stretched out at the same time.

The devil's bloody hands and Dharma image appeared.

It was obvious that Li Gong was really angry, which also meant that he regarded Shi Zhixuan, a junior who had not yet achieved a breakthrough, as his real opponent.

The tremendous Dharma image unfolded completely, covering the sky within a radius of dozens of miles.

The terrifying momentum rolled down, shaking the heaven and earth.

A golden light flashed again on the towering city wall in the distance, suppressing the surging waves.

"That's unreasonable!"

"First it was Li Gong, then Shi Zhixuan, and now here comes Ning Daoqi."

"Do you really treat Daxing City as a fighting arena?" someone in the city snorted angrily.

"Hey? Be patient, it's just a small matter. But it's surprising that Shi Zhixuan can cultivate the Haoran Qi. And his aura always gives me a sense of familiarity for some reason." A voice beside him laughed.

"A trivial matter? It's ridiculous. A few gangsters fought so unscrupulously at the city gate, and you think it's a trivial matter." The former scolded again.

"Don't forget that the envoys from Liyang have just arrived in Daxing. If they see this, it would be a disgrace to the state. How can it be tolerated?"

"No, we can't wait any longer. Someone, pass on my order!"

"Wait, wait, don't be impatient." The former was about to speak when the latter grabbed his arm.

"What do you mean? Are you going to let it go?"

"Haha, that's not what I meant. I just want you to not worry."

"When the inner guards tried to stop them, we had already made an agreement. Even though there is a lot of noise now, they are still outside the city gates."

"Are we just going to let it go like this?"

"You are still so impatient after all these years. Don't worry, someone will take action."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, a look of confusion appeared on the man's face.

"Haha, don't forget where they are right now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other party understood instantly.

"Outside the north city gate! Left Guard!"

"Haha, that's right. Thirty miles outside the north city gate is the camp of the Zuo Wuwei."

"With the increasing noise these guys make, it's only a matter of time before it affects that place."

"As far as I know, that person has been in the Zuowuwei camp for several days."

"So, you and I just need to sit back and wait for the show. He has never been a good-tempered person."

As soon as these words were spoken, the anxious and angry mood in the room instantly disappeared.

On the other side, when Li Gong was attacking Shi Zhixuan with all his strength.

Outside the city wall, at a corner, on a raised earth slope.

Two figures were squatting there in an indecent posture.

"How about it? The view from this place is good, right?" One of them grinned and laughed while picking his teeth with his fingers.

"As expected of General Gu, this place really has a panoramic view." The young man on the side gave a thumbs up.

"But, General, if we run out secretly, as for the master chef..." A hint of hesitation flashed across the young man's face again.

"What are you afraid of? The army hasn't returned yet. There is no way the Emperor of Sui will receive us."

"There's nothing to do in the embassy, ​​so I might as well go out and have a walk."

"Besides, we are not here to have fun, we are here to gather intelligence."

Hearing this, Zhao Kai's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded in agreement unconsciously.

"Look, Shi Zhixuan is going to fight back. Huh? He's not attacking Li Gong, but Ning Daoqi. What a guy."

Just when Zhao Kai was in a daze, Gu Jiantang suddenly exclaimed.

At this moment, Li Gong's bloody hand had just clapped down, but Shi Zhixuan's figure disappeared instantly.

When he appeared again, he had already come near Ning Daoqi.

"Ning Daoqi, I haven't seen you for many years. Shi has a palm, please appreciate it."
