Chapter 193: Draw the Sword and Mount the Horse
After all, once someone claims to be the best in a certain realm, an old monster might jump out of some barren mountain and swamp to challenge you.
After innateness, life span extends infinitely, especially at the innate limit, where one can live up to nine hundred and ninety-nine years.
Therefore, after Ji Chen was hailed as the first person among demigods, he aroused the dissatisfaction of countless people.
You say you are great at poetry, and we admit it. After all, it is recognized by heaven and earth, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t.
But if you want to be the number one among the demigods, then you have to step out and practice.
You will know who wins and who loses only after fighting.
…
Xu Mansion, in the hall, the mansion master Xu Yuzhai, Fang Jingyu and others gathered together.
Fang Jingyu and others did not leave Liangzhou City directly after coming out of Dingbeihou's Mansion. They came to Liangzhou City this time to practice on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, they suffered a big failure at Dingbeihou's Mansion and lost their face.
If this revenge is not avenged, it will accumulate in his heart and form a shadow.
"My uncle's plan is very clever. He will first praise Ji Beigui and worship him as a god, and then spread the news among the people to stimulate conflicts and attract those who are competitive to challenge him."
Fang Jingyu admired that in terms of strategy, he was never as sophisticated as these people who were involved in the officialdom. With a few tricks, Ji Chen became the target of public criticism.
This was a naked conspiracy to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and even if Ji Chen knew about it, there was nothing he could do about it.
Xu Yuzhai held the teacup and said calmly: "Practitioners are inherently competitive, competing for resources, opportunities, and reputation. If you don't fight, you are not a cultivator. People who truly give up everything and don't fight or grab will have already attained enlightenment and become saints."
"Even if you are a saint in the early stage, you still have to fight for resources. This is human nature, and no one in the world can escape the law."
"No matter how high we praise Ji Chen today, he will be miserable when he falls down in the future. As long as we help him firmly establish his title as the number one among demigods, he will face a steady stream of challenges. He can overcome them. How many? One or two, ten or twenty, one hundred or two hundred, or one thousand or two thousand."
"I want him to be the enemy of the whole world. Even if he can defeat him for a while, so what, the people who challenge him will only get stronger and stronger, and he will die in the constant challenges. This is a destined ending."
Fang Jingyu saluted Xu Yuzhai, "Junior has learned a lesson!"
At this moment, he was truly impressed.
Xu Yuzhai said: "You have to remember that the first step is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and then the next is to attack the city. The method of attacking a city is as a last resort. To kill a person, you do not necessarily have to rush up to fight with a sword. Fate, this is inferior."
Fang Jingyu saluted again, "Jingyu, please remember your teachings!"
He knew that Xu Yuzhai was teaching him, so he said so much.
The wind in Liangzhou City became more and more intense, and driven by an invisible force, it swept like a strong wind.
Ji Chen's address was also revealed. The next day, someone stood outside the door and shouted, wanting to challenge Ji Chen.
However, two days passed without any response from Ji Chen. Some news began to spread among the people that Ji Chen had escaped and left Liangzhou City.
He was afraid.
The news became more and more mysterious as it spread, so more and more people made bold statements and challenged Ji Chen to a life or death fight.
In the Dingbei Hou Mansion, upstairs in Tingyu, Xia Lijun was lying on the couch, looking at Liangzhou City below.
She also heard about what happened in Liangzhou City in the past two days.
At this time, Zhao Qingcheng walked in, still dressed in military uniform.
"It's been found out that it's Prince Xu Yuzhai who is causing trouble. The group from Luocheng Academy did not leave Liangzhou City, but went to Xu Yuzhai's residence."
After saying that, Zhao Qingcheng picked up a pear on the table and started eating it.
Xia Liyun held her cheek with one hand, "Xu Yuzhai, he is going to destroy Ji Chen!"
"'Normal!" Zhao Qingcheng said while eating: "Jichen not only offended Luocheng Academy, but also ridiculed his son Xu Chengwei, and even listed a series of evidence that was enough to make the entire Xu family beheaded. Although these evidence were not It cannot shake Xu Yuzhai, but it has also touched his bottom line, so it is normal for him to have murderous intentions. Maybe he will invite an old monster with innate limits to challenge Ji Chen. "
Xia Liyun held her chin and looked at Liangzhou City with calm eyes.
After Zhao Qingcheng finished eating a pear, he also fell asleep and reached out to touch Xia Liyun's chest.
"Come, let me measure whether you have grown up during this time."
…
In the Demon Suppression Department, Ji Chen just came out of Ding Zhao's study, holding a piece of paper in his hand, fighting Wen Die to the death.
Ji Chen did not explain the rumors that broke out in Liangzhou City during this period. He never needed to explain. The gathering at the Dingbei Marquis Mansion made him understand the truth. You cannot give in. If you give in, the enemy will advance a hundred steps.
Only killing can solve the problem fundamentally.
If he had killed all Fang Jingyu and his party that day, there would not have been this series of troubles.
But it's okay, since someone wants to give him a killing point, then let them do it. The knife is in your hand and the courage is in your heart. There is no problem that the knife can't solve. If it can't be solved, then solve the person who caused the problem.
Ji Chen also wanted to see if there was anyone in this world who could compete with him in the same realm, and he was ready to test the world's heroes.
To stage a fight in the city, you need to sign Wendie and pay one hundred taels of silver.
The process of the life and death contest is very cumbersome and requires the signatures of the Demon Suppression Department, the Patrol Department, and the government office.
The reason is very simple. There are many onlookers in the life and death competition, and someone needs to maintain the order of the scene. Once there is a battle, there will definitely be casualties, and the bodies need to be cleaned up at the scene. All these jobs require money, and one hundred taels is already a very low price.
One day, someone found a sign hanging on Ji Chen's door, which read "It's a battle of life and death."
The news that Ji Chen had put up a sign to accept the challenge spread like the wind. Soon, countless people flocked to the small courtyard where Ji Chen was, clinging to the wall to look inside.
Even on the trees on the roadside and on the roofs on both sides of the courtyard, there were people standing.
Most of them were ordinary people, and there were also many cultivators.
There were few entertainment activities in this world. Day after day, they worked during the day and created people at night. It was rare to encounter such a grand occasion, so it was naturally not easy to miss.
More and more people gathered, but no one challenged Ji Chen.
Ji Chen sat on a recliner in the yard, with Pojun horizontal sword on the table next to him.
In the Fujun Yamen, Fang Jingyu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness after learning that Ji Chen had put up a sign to accept the challenge.
"It's a battle of life and death, and he's still as rampant as ever. Don't blame me if that's the case."
"Go and notify the Seven Ancestors of Meishan, tell them that the opportunity to become famous has come. If they can kill Ji Chen, I'll give them fifty kilograms of spirit stones."
"Also, invite King Jinpeng. That guy is competitive and has a demon king of the same level. With him, it's almost certain that Ji Chen will be killed."
Ji Chen's identity meant that they couldn't target him openly. Now that they finally had a chance to kill him openly, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
