Chapter 125: One Man Fights All Sides Go together? Who are you looking down on? Tao Tie's words directly stirred up a hornet's nest. He immediately aroused public anger and undoubtedly earned the hatred of all the talented and brilliant people. Including Dong Shou, Liu Yuling, Shen Qiong and others from the three southwestern states. “Cattle and sheep are willing to be insulted, but wild beasts cannot endure it.” The masculine warrior Shan Yi Shan Yunfei was the first to react. He snorted, held a spear in his hand, and flew into the air. However, he took a shortcut and did not fly directly onto the ring. Instead, he jumped high to accumulate strength. "Alas……" His body was fully stretched, his strength fully accumulated, and with a strange cry of one wing, he dived like a big bird, stabbed down with a spear, and shouted shrilly, "Ah!"

A bit of cold light arrived first, and then the gun came out like a dragon. The one-winged man maintained a diving posture in mid-air, holding the gun in his right hand, stabbing at a high frequency. The space around him was directly distorted, showing layers of ripple-like vibration waves. The tip of the spear collided violently with the sword's heart. In a moment, dozens of crisp collision sounds were heard. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding… The crisp sound of collision echoed on the top of the mountain, and seemed to be endless. After a moment, Tao Tie still kept his left hand behind his back and his right hand with fingers together and slanted vertically in front of his chest. The crisp sound of collision is still echoing. Shan Yi had already evacuated the area above the ring and was forced to retreat at a high speed, trying to avoid the sword energy that was always half a finger away from his forehead. "Gan!" By the time he finally avoided the sword energy and fell back to his original position, he couldn't help but curse angrily. Kun Dao Xuanhua immediately slapped Shan Yi on the butt with his whisk and gently scolded him, "Do three good things a day: speak good words, see good things, and do good things, and accumulate some good words." Shan Yi was hit, scratched his head, and replied sullenly, "I understand, housekeeper." Xuanhua glanced at Dan Yi and suddenly flew onto the stage. Hundreds of talismans appeared out of thin air in specific locations in an instant, and lines of array patterns and prohibitions were connected to each other. A Xuanyin Seven Killing Talisman Array with talismans as nodes, prohibitions as connections, and array patterns as the main body was set up in an instant. The Seven Killings are one of the Ten Gods in Phantasia. They refer to those who can defeat me and are of the same sex as me. Xuanhua and Tao Tie are certainly not of the same sex, and Xuanhua certainly doesn't like being defeated by Tao Tie. Hence, there is the prefix "Xuan Yin", which forcibly reverses Tao Tie's "yang" to yin, and defeats him with one's own strength, thus achieving a fatal kill.

Tao Tie didn't look at the talisman paper, didn't care about the restrictions, and didn't try to break the formation patterns. No matter how you change, he would just use one sword. Xuanhua had just set up the talisman formation and had not yet had time to exert its maximum power when he suddenly found that a ray of sword energy, like a swimming dragon, accurately found the gap in the Xuanyin Seven Killing Formation and pierced his forehead. And except to retreat, there was no way for him to defend himself. Because this sword energy pierced the place where her breath of life, which should have been continuous but was actually not continuous and was still jumping intermittently, was jumping intermittently. Once the intermittent jumps of the breath of life are cut off, the breath of life will be completely cut off and can no longer be continued. The person died. To put it simply, there is an interval between the last breath and the next breath, and the oxygen inhaled into the body during the interval can sustain human survival. After being hit by Tao Tie's sword, he had no chance to breathe again and suffocated to death. So Xuanhua had no choice but to retreat. With this avoidance and retreat, he retreated from the stage. The Xuanyin Seven Killing Talisman Formation lost its main formator and was immediately broken by the aftermath of the sword energy. This is the method that Dao Xiaofeng demonstrated to Tao Tie about how sword cultivators/knife cultivators can deal with talisman cultivators and formation cultivators. I don’t care about those bullshit talismans or bullshit formations, I just want to kill people! Tao Tie deeply agreed with this. When you can't solve a problem, solving the person who created the problem is a good idea. Dong Shou originally wanted to follow suit, but he immediately gave up the idea and frowned slightly. Having the same idea as Dong Shou was Zhu Cong, a shaman who worshipped Xuantian Shangdi/Zhenwu Emperor. "Don't move." Zhu Cong not only refused to enter the ring, but also reached out to restrain the feminine warrior Lan Ling, "Let's see." "Ah." After thinking for a while, Lanling understood Zhu Cong's idea and did not move. Liu Yuling and Shen Qiong looked at each other and saw the same worry in each other's eyes. Even though he was angered by Tao Tie's words, he was still from the same state and represented the face of Cangyun State. It is undoubtedly a good thing for Cang Yunzhou's reputation that Tao Tiezhen was able to win the only winner of this singles competition in such a ostentatious manner. Monk Yuanjue put his hands together, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose. He stood there silently and motionless, with no intention of joining the fight. This made the single winger, who couldn't resist the urge to go on the field first, scratch his head, feeling a little uncomfortable. Kun Dao Xuanhua gently pulled Dan Yi's sleeve, signaling him not to do so. The rules are there, come on stage voluntarily. If anyone has considerations as to why they don’t play, that’s their business.

It is also their own business if the two of them go on stage to fight. Everyone should mind their own business. Besides, wasn’t it Tao Tie who started the trouble and fanned the flames first? If you dare to stir up trouble and add fuel to the fire, you must be prepared to bear the price and get burned. With Xuanhua's silent comfort and support, Dan Yi put down his right hand that was scratching his head and wanted to hold the hand that Xuanhua extended to him. Unexpectedly, Xuanhua retreated immediately. This made Shan Yi embarrassed again. The talented people in the three southwestern states have completely stopped their efforts and have no desire to compete, but this does not mean that the same is true for other states. Everyone highly respects the Dengzhen, Ruyi and Qianlong lists. But don’t blindly follow the rankings on the Hidden Dragon List. So what if he is not on the list, or is on the list but ranked after 30? He is still a talented person. How can you know who is better without a fight? Then, in a flash, more than a dozen talented and outstanding people came up to the ring to fight with Tao Tie, and were defeated one by one. At this point, the atmosphere on the top of the mountain has undergone another change. Be it those who have faced Tao Tie's One Breath Sword directly or those who have watched him use it so many times, they all have to admit that in a head-on confrontation or a life-and-death battle, Tao Tie is invincible among his peers. They are of the same level, not the same product. According to Taizu's nine-rank system, the ninth, eighth, and seventh ranks were the lower three ranks, the sixth, fifth, and fourth ranks were the middle three ranks, and the third, second, and first ranks were the upper three ranks. Every three grades have one level. According to the traditional five-realm system, each realm has one level. The one hundred people on the Hidden Dragon Ranking are all under the age of twenty-five, and their cultivation is in the middle third level, so they are at the same level. In other words, whether he admitted it verbally or not, even Yang Tianci of the Hongnong Yang family, who was ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List, intuitively felt that he could not defeat Tao Tie in a head-on confrontation under the current circumstances. Unless Tao Tie's sword has become a little blunt. In the north pergola. The third prince tightly grasped the armrests on both sides of the seat with his hands, his fingers curled inward, and his back teeth clenched tighter and tighter, with a faint creaking sound. His eyes were no longer controlled, and they showed anger. Although Shi Guanzhong closed his eyes to rest, he sensed the change in the Third Prince's mood and sighed deeply in his heart, but he did not speak to comfort him. It is better to block than to open up. Since the Third Prince was holding a lot of anger in his heart and couldn't channel it properly, he might as well just rush it out and create a flood. The guest Xie Ruoyu rolled his eyes and looked around, and found that his colleagues had no intention of stepping out to persuade them, so he gave up the idea. You've already been ignored, why humiliate yourself further?

The Third Prince took a deep breath, exerted force with both hands, broke the armrest of the rosewood chair, and said softly: "Someone, go tell them that I don't want to see this guy win the championship. Whether it's a round-robin battle or a dirty trick, get this guy off the stage, and I will reward him handsomely." Shi Guanzhong did not move, and Xie Ruoyu did not move either. A subordinate named Zhang Molin took the initiative to take over the task and walked towards the south shed. At this juncture, Zhang Molin had just walked out of the third prince's shed and attracted a lot of people's attention. When they saw Zhang Molin running as fast as he could to the south shed, everyone knew that the third prince was going to cause trouble. No one was surprised by this. The special training for the 108th place originally did not include the competition segment. It was only possible after several princes jointly submitted a petition, which was approved by His Majesty and the court had no objection. Among the princes, the third prince was the initiator and the most active promoter. Since the two issues of seeking the crown prince and the competition among the princes for the throne have been mixed up, it is understandable that the third prince, as the initiator and active promoter, wants to stir up trouble. There is nothing to be surprised about. "What is Third Brother going to do?" The seventh prince placed the brush in his hand on the brush washer and asked his sister in confusion. "What not to do?" The Sixth Princess said calmly, "He is just using the dirty tricks he always likes to play." "A dirty trick?" The Seventh Prince was increasingly confused, "What dirty trick? In a duel, strength speaks, what dirty tricks can be used?" "There are many, just take a look." The Sixth Princess curled her lips but didn't elaborate. Her mentality was undoubtedly contradictory. She wanted the Seventh Prince to understand that human hearts are unpredictable and sinister, but she also didn't want his innocent heart to be corrupted too early. However, being in the royal family, how can one be ignorant and naive? So, watch first, watch more, and watch carefully! After Zhang Molin arrived at the south pavilion, he did not look for anyone in particular, nor did he send a message. Instead, he said loudly in front of everyone: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince said that whether it is a round-robin battle or a dirty trick, His Royal Highness does not want to see this guy win the championship." As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the south shed suddenly became strange, and the eyes looking at Zhang Molin were full of suspicion. The eunuch Wang Jin repeated Da Diao Yanli Shi's original words in public because those original words were basically good words, which would not offend anyone and would also give people face. The Third Prince's original words were not good. Not only did he contemptuously call Tao Tie a beast, he also openly instigated the talented and brilliant people to use shady tactics? It can be said that he offended everyone. The words are unpleasant to hear, but as a scholar, can't you polish them a bit? Also, who are you communicating this to? Or does the Third Prince think that he can give orders to everyone at will? As a subordinate of the Third Prince in the fight for the throne, you actually made such a low-level mistake. Was it intentional? You are not here to help the third prince in his fight for the throne, but to hinder him, right? "Ha ha ha ha……" The Fifth Prince heard Zhang Molin's words from afar and laughed heartily. While laughing, he turned off the soundproofing of the shed and said across the air: "Third brother, you are really cute. Hahahaha..." cute? The Third Prince's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

Shi Guanzhong frowned, and Zhang Molin's background and resume flashed quickly through his mind, and then his brows relaxed. This month, The Seventh Prince and the Sixth Princess are gradually going astray, and there is a tendency for them to shift from competing for the throne to supporting the eldest princess in the fight for the throne. The Fifth Prince spent all his time either practicing martial arts or staying in the Martial Arts Academy, learning how to command troops. He was even reluctant to go to the Ministry of Rites to observe government affairs. Even when it comes to personal relationships or attracting talent, banquets are mainly for military men. The Fourth Prince was under the tight control of the Second Princess. He made some moves, but not much. Therefore, the one who was most active, hosted the most banquets, and met the most people was the third prince. The number of talented and brilliant people who tend to support the Third Prince has increased from the eleven at the banquet at Baojin Tower to more than thirty people. This does not include the secret contacts and vague statements received. However, it is difficult to give a definite answer as to some people are sincere, some are pretending, and some are just being perfunctory. Zhang Molin is a man of few words, deep in thought, and accustomed to looking at people and the world with malice. Therefore, Shi Guanzhong immediately understood that Zhang Molin did not make a mistake, but said it on purpose. The purpose is to test whether those talented and brilliant people who have expressed their support for the Third Prince, either openly or secretly, really want to support him. Shi Guanzhong glanced at the Third Prince from the corner of his eye and found that although the Third Prince's face was gloomy, there was no anger in his eyes towards Zhang Molin, so he couldn't help but feel relieved. Obviously, the third prince also saw through Zhang Molin's thoughts. The reason for his gloomy face was not because of Zhang Molin's words, but because of the reactions of the talented and brilliant people after hearing Zhang Molin's words. Everyone is indifferent! No matter whether it was those talented and brilliant people who had explicitly refused invitations to banquets and meetings, or those talented and brilliant people who had banquets and meetings with the Third Prince, none of them took Zhang Molin's words seriously. Instead, he looked intently at the top of the ring. It turned out that just as Zhang Molin came to the south shed and began to repeat the words of the third prince, Yang Tianci, the number one on the Hidden Dragon List and from the Hongnong Yang family, stepped onto the stage without saying a word. The Yang family of Hongnong has passed down poetry and literature from generation to generation. Yang Tianci is of course a Confucian cultivator. He is one of the three people with the greatest hope of winning the top prize in the imperial examination next spring. He is also the one with the greatest hope and the greatest reputation among the three. Playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses is exactly what Confucianism is best at. Knowing that he was no match for Tao Tie in a head-on fight where the outcome would be decided instantly, Yang Tianci naturally would not charge into him head-on. He took off into the air like a single wing, made all the necessary preparations, and then stepped onto the stage. As soon as he entered the ring area, Yang Tianci used the methods he had prepared one after another. "This place has nine bends, so there must be a detour." The first move is to make your words come true and change the world. The arena has no depth and is straight forward, which is most suitable for sword immortals with unparalleled killing power, especially Tao Tie who has realized the sword of one breath.

So Yang Tianci changed the battlefield, turning the flat arena into a winding terrain with mountains and rivers. With Yang Tianci's current ability, he certainly can't do this with just empty talk. Before Yang Tianci opened his mouth, a map of mountains and rivers had already flown out, enlarged, and covered the entire arena, forming a one-time secret realm that seemed both real and unreal. Tao Tie did not move, did not rush to draw his sword, and did not dodge or evade. He allowed himself to be covered in the one-time secret realm of the map of mountains and rivers, and entered the new battlefield where Yang Tianci took the initiative after changing the terrain. Since Yang Tianci believed that the arena gave Tao Tie a geographical advantage and wanted to take it away, Tao Tie let him take it. To win, you must win completely and win people's hearts and minds! Yang Tianci's second move seamlessly connected to the first move, still following his words, pointing at Tao Tie and scolding: "This is an evil demon!" Yang Tianci then shouted angrily: "Ten thousand men will work together to kill him!" Silently, the coverage of the map of mountains and rivers spread from the arena, enveloping the south shed. One hundred and sixty talented geniuses were also included. The one-time secret realm formed by the map of mountains and rivers is Yang Tianci's home court. I don’t know what means Yang Tianci used and what price he paid to gain the supreme authority to define “etiquette” in this home court. Etiquette is the rule! Yang Tianci took this opportunity to forcibly draw the line between the opposing camps of good and evil, and established the rule that good and evil cannot coexist. Swish. One hundred and sixty talented people joined the game, and according to Yang Tianci's instructions, whether they were willing or not, they besieged Tao Tie from all sides. Yang Tianci looked at Tao Tie calmly, thinking: Don't you want us to go together? as you wish! (End of this chapter)
