Chapter 217: Killing the Grandmaster, the Secret of the Warring States Period
"The contest begins!"
While Qi Sui was distracted, the eunuch on the side suddenly shouted out.
The ten imperial court's 800,000 gun and stick instructors from the Forbidden Army had an extremely keen sense of combat, and almost at the same time, they shot at Qi Sui with their guns.
Their moves were ruthless, and the spear points were pointed directly at the vital points, aiming to kill the opponent.
The sharp wind blew the tips of Qi Sui's hair on his forehead.
His eyes were cold, and when he raised his hand casually, all ten heavy spears made of fine iron were broken.
Su Zheng stood up in shock.
In his eyes, ten figures of Qisui appeared on the martial arts field at the same time, and their movements were too fast to be caught with the naked eye.
In an instant, ten Forbidden Army instructors who were highly skilled in martial arts and who were all enemies on the battlefield flew outward at the same time, like a kite with its strings broken, vomiting blood and falling to the ground, uncertain whether they were alive or dead.
The ten afterimages gathered towards the center of the field again. Qi Sui still stood there, maintaining the posture at the beginning of the competition, as if he had never moved.
"fear!"
This was the thought that came to everyone's mind.
All of them were high-ranking figures in power in the ancient Divine Phoenix Kingdom, but they had never seen anyone as powerful as Qi Sui, not even a little bit close.
If a demon lord descends from the sky, he will really be the Tai Sui God on earth!
Su Zheng thought of a somewhat absurd question.
If Qi Sui kills him now, will he survive?
Various possibilities and methods have been considered, but the answer is still a cold "no"!
"good!"
Su Zheng shouted loudly.
His eyes were full of admiration, and he made up his mind to have a good relationship with Qi Sui no matter what, and to keep this great god by his side.
"A strong man is really good at martial arts. As for this third test being too dangerous, I think you can forget it. The three rewards I promised you before still count!"
Hearing this, all the officials in the court looked at him in astonishment.
Because among the tests for those who reveal the list, the third test is the core.
Many people have made speculations. It seems that His Majesty has developed a love for this foreign warrior.
At this moment, Princess Wuyou walked over, her beautiful red phoenix eyes fell on Qi Sui, and she said gently: "Father, if he fails to pass the third test, then my daughter is not willing to marry him. It’s an agreement that the daughter made with her father a long time ago!”
Su Zheng frowned and thought deeply. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Qi Sui's interested voice.
"Emperor, what is your third test? Can you take me to see it?"
He was really curious.
Another point is that the competition just now was not even a warm-up for him.
The career panel only gives a pitiful 10 experience points.
The level gap is too big!
"Okay, then I'll take you to see it first. You can decide for yourself whether to try it or not. I won't force you!" Su Zheng sighed softly.
Under the leadership of several sergeants, everyone continued to walk deeper into the palace.
Until they left the palace gate, several carriages were waiting here.
"Strong man, please get in the car!"
One of them took the initiative to lift the curtain for Qi Sui.
"It seems that the place is quite far from the palace!"
He muttered in his mind and got into the carriage.
The carriage was very fast, galloping all the way, and soon left Shengyang Mansion.
After continuing to travel in the wilderness for half an hour, the carriage finally stopped on the side of the road.
"Strong man, we've arrived!"
Qi Sui, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes. He slightly twitched his nose a few times, and a stench that penetrated his soul hit him again.
"It's the scent of the gods!"
Sure enough, looking at the long history of human civilization, not only traces of the activities of gods appeared in the ancient era, but also their presence in the Warring States Era, which is simply a terrifying cancer attached to the history of the development of human civilization.
Opening the curtain, you will see the entrance of a heavily guarded bunker.
The bunker was cold and damp, and there were oil lamps on the walls on both sides for lighting.
The deeper you go, the stronger the stench in the air becomes.
Finally, a cage made of hundreds of refined iron appeared at the end of the line of sight.
There was a tall and majestic man in the cage who was completely naked and with disheveled hair. His extremely exaggerated muscles looked like swimming rings on his body. The skin of his body was covered with strange and mysterious dark red lines. He was moving in a regular pattern. Keep flashing.
"This is the third and final test. You need to go in and kill him!"
At this point, Su Zheng sighed: "The strength of this beast is very terrifying. There are a total of twelve people who have successfully reached this point before, but without exception, they died inside without being able to last even one round."
"Although your strength is very strong, I'm afraid you are no match for him. I really can't bear for you to suffer here."
Qi Sui looked inside and saw that the prison was extremely dirty. On top of the accumulated feces, some remaining white bones and skulls could be seen.
As for the flesh and blood, it must have been eaten clean by this beast.
"The level of a master is equivalent to the oracle in the divine religion!"
His eyes became sharp, the blood in his body was boiling, and the militant factor in his bones was trembling.
"Let me go in and I'll have a try on his quality!"
"Okay, since you have such courage, I will not stop you. Come on, bring the light armor and sword!" Su Zheng shouted.
"No need, I'm not good at using weapons!"
Qi Sui glanced at the sword handed over by his servant. The material was very poor and far less useful than his fist.
Su Zheng waved his hand and said, "Then open the cage and let this warrior in."
At this moment, Princess Wuyou Su Nian took the initiative to step forward, tried to tiptoe, and tidied Qi Sui's clothes with a gentle face, and said softly: "Young master, be careful. If you can't win, you must try to keep your life!"
Qi Sui looked at her strangely, said nothing, turned around and walked into the cage through the narrow prison door.
The sturdy man heard the noise and turned his head to look over here. His long hair was thrown away, revealing an ugly face covered with dirt, full of scars, and his eyes were a scary red.
Qi Sui didn't waste words with him.
The muscles of his whole body entered the activation state, and his already burly figure expanded again, and the scarlet Qi Gang rose on the surface of his skin.
He exerted force with his legs, and the whole bunker was shaking violently. Spider-web-like cracks spread across the ground, and the whole person rushed over like a dragon.
The fist swung out with thousands of tons of strange force, twisting the space along the way, and piercing the man's head with thunder.
Although the oracle seemed a little confused, his fighting instinct was still there.
In the face of life and death crisis, he let out a piercing roar, the lines on the surface of his skin flashed rapidly, and he also swung a fist.
Boom——
Fists collided in the air.
With this as the center, the terrifying aftermath radiated in all directions, like a Category 15 hurricane.
The cage was instantly broken, the wall collapsed, and a large amount of rubble fell down.
"Retreat quickly, protect His Majesty!"
A soldier exclaimed.
Everyone rolled and crawled out of the bunker.
Just after going out and not standing firmly, a series of violent movements like explosions came from behind, and the bunker collapsed in an instant. Two figures rushed out of the rubble like demons and started a fierce fight in the sky.
"How can this beast be so powerful?"
Su Zheng's expression was dull.
When the beast was captured, he was in a state of coma due to serious injuries, so no one knew how strong he was at full strength.
He had been imprisoned in a bunker outside the city. His mind seemed to be a little unclear and he had never tried to escape, which was why he was imprisoned for so many years.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
He had come into close contact with this terrifying thing so many times before, and it was a blessing that he was not killed by it!
Chen Su, the prime minister in the court, couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this beast can fly, it should be a national god-level existence, but I don't know which country's national god it is?"
The military marshal stared at the battle in the sky.
The two were so fast that he couldn't see clearly at all. He could only see two black lines flying and colliding, causing space fluctuations like waves.
"Your Majesty, the warriors we recruited this time can fight against a national god without being defeated. Do you think... will he be that kind of thing?"
Hearing this, the joy and hope that had just risen in the hearts of the officials were instantly extinguished.
Yes!
In the secular martial arts world, no matter how powerful a martial arts master is, he can't fly in the air!
Even the legendary supreme light skill "Tiyunzong" can only stop briefly in the air at most.
Unless... it is those national gods with evil power, and these people are the mortal enemies of their Shenhuang Ancient Country.
"No!"
The weak voice of Princess Wuyou Su Nian sounded: "I have had close contact with him, and I like the smell on his body very much. It can't be that kind of thing."
"Yes, although this warrior looks a little arrogant, he is still polite to me, not as tyrannical as those people. Let's see!"
Su Zheng said, while waving to a guard and whispering a few words in his ear.
The guard took the order and left.
At this time, the battle in the sky entered a white-hot state.
"Kill!"
The naked man squeezed out a roar in his throat.
The lines on the skin glowed with divine light, and the pale yellow aura rose up.
A terrifying bird monster with three bat-like heads appeared behind him, and the oppressive domain power spread out in all directions, covering the battlefield.
"Are you going to fight to the death?"
Qi Sui looked at the monster totem above the domain.
He had seen this thing in books. It was a second-rate god. It was first active in Brahma Kingdom and later introduced to Xia Kingdom.
"Then let's fight quickly!"
After fighting for dozens of rounds, he basically adapted to his body after the surge in strength.
"Exclusive skill, [Styx], start!"
Accompanied by the deduction of 300 points of mental power.
A mysterious river that seemed to be born from the beginning of chaos meandered.
Thick fog filled the river, like an invisible curtain, hiding the legendary Styx that sent the dead in the dark.
The water of the Styx was as deep as ink, with a dark light. Every surge was like a low sigh, telling the secrets of countless dead people and their unresolved resentment.
Great annihilation, great terror!
Before the use of the domain is realized, the exclusive skill [Styx] of the profession [Styx Soul Binder] can actually be used as an alternative domain.
As long as it is within the range of the Styx, the will of death will spread.
Warriors with weaker spiritual attributes can easily have their souls pulled out, while warriors with strong spiritual power must also spend a lot of energy to resist the extradition power brought by the Styx.
The naked man was in a state of confusion, which was the time when his spirit was most vulnerable.
He hugged his head and let out a tragic wail.
Qi Sui did not hope that a career advancement could directly kill a master.
He appeared in front of the man as if teleporting, and the heart in his body faintly emitted a dragon roar. A trace of the power of the resurrected dragon was unlocked, and the entire right arm grew thicker and thicker, and was instantly covered with dense scales, as if it had turned into a real dragon claw.
The huge dragon claw that was extremely disproportionate to the body stretched out and grabbed the man's head.
Bang——
Like crushing a grape, a large amount of blood mist dyed the sky red.
"Kill the oracle of the Monlou religion, professional [Blood and Flesh Domination] experience +300, professional [Steriod Soul Binding] experience +100, and spiritual attributes are slightly improved..."
"Too easy!"
Qi Sui shook his head with some regrets.
His physical foundation and trump card skills are too rich. When he uses all his strength, ordinary grandmasters are not his opponents.
Moreover, this naked man is still in a state of serious injury and residual blood, which is even worse.
He fell back to the ground.
Su Zheng's eyes no longer had the previous majesty when he looked at him, but were filled with fear and respect.
Who understands?
He just wanted to call a martial arts overlord by issuing the notice, but who would have thought that a god who could kill the national god would come.
"Do you have many of the things like the ones just now?" Qi Sui asked.
Su Zheng was a little unresponsive for a while.
"Brave man, the one you just killed should be a national god. There are not many beings of this level."
"Not many, that's a pity!"
Qi Sui's tone was a little disappointed.
Su Zheng blinked in confusion. He really wanted to understand what the boy meant. This seemed to be... not having enough fun?
A national god was enough to put their Shenhuang Ancient Country in danger of extinction, and he was still complaining about it being too little?
"Your Majesty, what national god did you just say?"
"Brother Qi, I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Su!"
Su Zheng's attitude was very humble, without the airs of a monarch at all.
All the officials in the court were stunned. They had never seen the emperor who was so decisive and ruthless be so humble.
But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. After all, in other countries, the status of the national god is higher than that of the king. This young man named Qi Sui undoubtedly has the strength of the national god.
Qi Sui did not look flattered, and continued to ask: "Okay, Brother Su, I am quite interested in the affairs of the national god!"
"Haha, Brother Qi, let's go back to the palace first, and talk on the way!" Su Zheng laughed.
In order to bring the two closer as much as possible, Su Zheng deliberately sat in the same carriage with Qi Sui, and asked his daughter Su Nian to accompany him.
"Brother Qi, I wonder which country you are from?"
Su Zheng tried to calm himself down: "Judging from your clothes, you are not from Shenhuang, right?"
Su Quan shook his head and said: "My country was destroyed a long time ago. I have been wandering outside for these years. I happened to pass by Shengyang Mansion and took down the notice!"
Su Zheng showed a look of astonishment and said: "Brother Qi can come to our Shenhuang country. It is a blessing for the people of Shenhuang in the world. If you don't mind, you can settle down here. My little girl is the best choice in terms of appearance, personality, literature and martial arts. I wonder if Brother Qi can take a liking to her?"
Qi Sui subconsciously glanced at the girl sitting next to him.
Su Nian's fair and tender face rose with an attractive blush, and her slender and round legs were tightly pressed together. Her jade feet were a little nervous and ground on the ground. She tried to pretend to be indifferent, but in fact her heartbeat was accelerated, and she was looking forward to Qi Sui's answer.
Women always admire the strong, even if Su Nian is of noble birth, she is no exception.
In the battle just now, Qi Sui's terrifying strength and strong and sturdy figure have already filled her heart.
Qi Sui retracted his gaze and continued: "Brother Su, now you can finally tell me about the national god, right?"
Compared to women, he is more interested in fighting.
"Ahem!"
Su Zheng used coughing to cover up his embarrassment.
There is actually someone who can resist the beauty of his daughter? He actually doubted whether Qi Sui was a man.
"Brother Qi should know, right? There are hundreds of countries of all sizes on our vast land, some are strong and some are weak. In terms of national strength, our Shenhuang Ancient Country is undoubtedly one of the most powerful ones!"
"According to historical records, more than 500 years ago, the emperor of our Shenhuang Ancient Country conquered the world and swept across the world, wanting to unify the world!"
"He was almost there. At that time, more than 100 countries were destroyed by the iron hoofs of our Shenhuang Ancient Country. Only six countries were still lingering on. But considering the national strength at that time, it was only a matter of time before they were annexed!"
Speaking of these past events, Su Zheng's tone was full of pride.
Qi Sui nodded.
He had read this history in the library of Shenhua University.
The so-called 100 countries were actually mostly on the territory of the Xia Kingdom in later generations.
And it was the great unification campaign of the Shenhuang Ancient Country that year. Although it was not completely successful, it also laid the foundation for the unification of the Xia Kingdom's civilization inheritance.
What he is curious about now is why the ancient country of Shenhuang was so powerful, but failed in the end?
This secret is not recorded in any history books, but today he has the opportunity to hear it from the person involved.
"It's just that the change happened quietly!"
Su Zheng sighed heavily and said: "That time, our ancient Divine Phoenix Kingdom's million-strong army came to the capital of the Riyan Empire and were about to annex it. However, a flag was lit up on their city wall, and on the flag was painted A terrifying red vertical pupil!”
"A figure revered by their king as a national god came out. He was like a god descending from the earth. He killed the general of our ancient Divine Phoenix Kingdom among thousands of troops. The army fell into chaos. The Sun Flame Empire took advantage of the situation and rushed out. Our army was defeated. Five More than 100,000 elite soldiers were buried on that land."
"After that battle, although our ancient Divine Phoenix Nation's national power was greatly damaged, it still has the strength to continue to unify the world, and the biggest obstacle is that mysterious figure!"
"After investigation, we found out that the mysterious man suddenly appeared in front of the emperor of the Riyan Empire one day, claiming to be a messenger sent by the gods to assist the country. Therefore, he was revered as the god of the country and was in charge of the life and death of the people of the country. Although the emperor He is still sitting on the throne, but he has become a puppet!"
Hearing this, Qi Sui thought and asked, "How many national gods are there in the world now?"
"There are now a total of 108 countries in the world. Excluding our ancient country, Divine Phoenix, there are 107 national gods. They are powerful and have different flag patterns. They each control a country and attack each other!"
"If it weren't for the divine power of the military array passed down from our ancestors in the ancient Divine Phoenix Kingdom, I would have been destroyed by them long ago!"
