The queen is so fierce

Chapter 8
Chu Ao grew up surrounded by compliments.

Since he was a child, he had no worries about food and clothing, and he could do everything. His parents and maids regarded him as a heavenly man. Over time, he really felt that way.

Later, his parents sent him to practice at the Green Fan Gate, and after being evaluated for his aptitude, Chu Ao naturally became the direct disciple of the sword-wielding elder.

The juniors envy him, the seniors envy him, the juniors admire him, and the seniors admire him.

Everything was so smooth and smooth, until the King of Wei came to the door, everything changed.

From the future star of the sect, he became a tool for King Wei to realize his ambitions.

That sword-wielding teacher didn't even dare to let a fart in front of King Wei. I'm afraid that as long as King Wei ordered it, it might not be impossible for him to kill his apprentice on the spot as a master.

In order to forcibly elevate his realm, King Wei forced him to eat some medicinal herbs that were encouraged by removing the seedlings, so that he was promoted to the water-melting realm. Although the realm was temporarily improved, the foundation was unstable.

But so what?King Wei won't care, because he only needs to use himself this time, as long as he wins the imperial contest, the rest has nothing to do with him.

Chu Ao once thought about why he became what he is now, is it because he has no background?Is it because King Wei is too powerful?
Not at all, just because he is too weak.

Everything in this world depends on strength. If you lack strength, you will be trampled under your feet and humiliated in every possible way.

He understood, so he also liked the feeling of being superior.

Chu Ao felt that he should have hated his life, hated him for making his Dao hopeless, hated him for ruining everything about him.

But I thanked him in my heart. If there was no King Wei, I am afraid that I would never have the possibility of becoming a person admired by everyone in this life.

He knew that, in essence, he and King Wei were the same kind of people, and greed was like a shadow engraved in his bones.

With a loud 'bang' sound, the sword energy of the long sword in Chu Ao's hand let out a jingling sound. In the blink of an eye, the opponent who was still fighting with him just now was covered in blood and passed out.

"Chu Ao, win!"

As the four-to-two competition came to an end, both the people outside the imperial city, the three princes, nine ministers, princes and nobles in front of the palace couldn't help but praise and exclaim.

King Wei glanced at King Yan with some pride, but his tone was quite indifferent: "Brother Yu, do you still think anyone else can beat Chu Ao?"

King Yan's face still had the gentleness of a Confucian scholar. He was not annoyed by King Wei's ridicule, and said with a light smile, "Brother Wang, what are you worried about? Isn't there a battle to win the championship?"

King Wei snorted coldly, and ignored it as if King Yan was still stubborn.

After about half an incense stick of time to rest and adjust, Chu Ao walked onto the terrace with his sword in hand. On the way, he glanced at the glamorous Dali Empress on the main seat, unintentionally or unintentionally, and there was a faint flash in his eyes. greed.

However, in the eyes of the public, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and soon assumed the appearance of a refined son again, turning his head to look at his last opponent.

But when he saw the other party's appearance, his expression suddenly froze:
"Brother Xu?"

Xu Shoujing had long learned about Chu Ao's information from Jing Ming's mouth, and he was not surprised, but he still pretended to be surprised and said:
"Isn't this brother Chu?"

Chu Ao looked at him and said suspiciously, "Brother Xu, are you also invited to participate in the imperial competition?"

"Well, I said Xu Que is always the one who is responsible for the bombing of the sky, and naturally he will receive an invitation." Xu Shoujing's expression was stiff, but he was actually holding back his laughter.

Anyway, when I show the invitation letter to the guards, they only need the seal, and I don’t read the specific content of the letter at all. When recording the sect, I just write whatever you say. To be honest, Xu Shoujing felt that there were a lot of bugs at the time, which also shows that The empress was really unwilling to compete with the imperial court.

Chu Ao despised 'carrying the handle' in his heart. In his opinion, Xu Shoujing did not have any signs of spiritual power. He was obviously a mortal person, and even if he learned some mortal martial arts, he should not be afraid.

However, on the surface, he still maintained his personality, and said with a light smile: "Although I admire Brother Xu quite a bit, since I'm on the martial arts stage, there is no reason to be merciful, so I ask Brother Xu to be careful."

Everyone in the audience nodded frequently when they heard it, what a gentleman.

Xu Shoujing took it seriously: "Brother Chu is right. Although he is a friend off stage, he should do his best on stage. Even if he is beaten to death, he cannot and must not stop, otherwise he will be regarded as a gentleman in vain."

Chu Ao didn't understand the maliciousness in Xu Shoujing's words, and thought he was saying that he would not give up even if he died, and said hypocritically, "Brother Xu can do his best."

The scene fell into silence for a while, and countless pairs of eyes stared at the two people on the stage.

This is not the same as before. This is the battle to win the championship. Whether it is Chu Ao, the high-ranking disciple of the Green Fan Sect, or the 'Rural Ye Xiu Xu Que', they have gone through numerous selections to the end.

It doesn't matter if the person in front is chatting for a while, if you dare to mess around at this time, you will not give the saint a favor.

Yu Zhiqiong saw her daughter staring at the black-clothed boy several times in a row. Those little eyes... wished he could melt him, she was surprised and asked in a low voice:
"Shuang'er, did you like him?"

"Ah?" Yu Jiaoshuang was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale with anger, and she snorted: "No, mother, don't talk nonsense. I...I just don't like him...Oh..."

After Yu Zhiqiong played her head, she saw her aggrieved and puzzled expression, and said angrily: "Shen Yan, the sage is still there. If he wins, he will be the husband of the sage."

"..." Yu Jiaoshuang was suddenly stunned, just now she actually said that she disliked the female emperor's prospective man?

"Meow~" The big white cat under the skirt expressed his support.

After the ceremony officer saluted Qiu Xuanji, he gestured to the flag, and the old eunuch beside the terrace agreed, raised the gong high, and slammed the hammer down—

clang!
Almost at the moment when the gong rang, the wooden plank under Chu Ao's feet cracked, and for a while, smoke and dust rose, and everyone only saw a shadow rushing out of the hazy smoke and dust, rushing towards Xu Shoujing with an unstoppable momentum.

Xu Shoujing stood there without saying a word, with one hand on his back, his back straight, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chu Ao was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't pause for a second. The long sword in his hand turned into a silver light, pointing directly at Xu Shoujing's throat.

This sword originally had the aura of the water-transforming realm, and Chu Ao's body was about to disappear. The princes and generals in the audience didn't react. Seeing that Xu Shoujing was still standing still, he just felt He didn't respond.

"Bam—"

There was another explosion from the terrace, the dust filled the sky and gradually dissipated, and the two figures that had recovered from hazy to clear were confusing.

The blade of the long sword stopped steadily three inches in front of Xu Shoujing's neck without scoring a point, but it was not due to any resistance, but Chu Ao himself stopped.

Looking further down, Xu Shoujing greeted Chu Ao's lower abdomen with a hand secretly, but also stopped three inches away.

Chu Ao suddenly sneered and said, "Sure enough, you have the ability to make people temporarily unable to use immortal spells, I guessed right." As he said that, as soon as the long sword was retracted, his body suddenly retreated, and the distance was opened in an instant.

Xu Shoujing's face froze, and the brocade-clothed boy who was silent before was still foreshadowing. I didn't expect that Chu Ao would see the characteristics of his infuriating qi, and he would stop before he touched the palm of his hand. , I'm afraid I really can't bear it.

Thinking of this, Xu Shoujing leaned forward, and his feet exploded, like a flying arrow clenching his fist and rushing towards Chu Ao who was retreating.

But Chu Ao had expected it long ago, and he had already pinched a law in his hand, and suddenly blasted towards Xu Shoujing who was rushing—

In an instant, the thick vines that grew out of the seal were like giant pythons, entangling each other and attacking Xu Shoujing.

Xu Shoujing knew that this was a spell he casually cast, and the power was not necessarily great. The purpose was to distance himself, but he had to retreat.

He changed his posture of leaning forward and threw himself to the side, his true energy condensed in his hand, and slapped his palm on the stretched tree vines, using his strength to avoid the impact of the tree vines.

In a few breaths, Chu Ao had already retreated to the other side of the terrace, with the long sword inserted on one side, as if he did not intend to use it again, his eyes seemed to be looking at the prey, and the little green light in his hand kept condensing.

Xu Shoujing breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he was careless, and thinking about using the previous tactics, first silence, then close combat, and finally rely on martial arts to win.

Facts have proved that the other party is not a fool. Last time, he obviously saw some tricks. The first sword was just a test. After confirming that only contact would eliminate the immortal magic, he opened the distance without delay.

"Brother Xu, it seems that I am better."

Chu Ao smiled casually, glanced at Qiu Xuanji, who was in the main seat, his breathing became heavier, and the condensed Dao Fa in his hand emitted a dazzling light.

The green light scattered along the terrace, and a huge magic circle appeared at Xu Shoujing's feet, vines, branches, branches, thorns... a series of plants climbed Xu Shoujing's body.

"Dragon Prisoner Array! It's the Dragon Prisoner Array!" Brother Yu shouted loudly.

Seeing this, King Wei frowned. The Dragon Imprisonment Formation was a secret technique of the Green Fan Gate. Those who were trapped in the Formation would be constantly eaten away by plants to eat away their spiritual and physical strength. To break free, the higher the realm of the caster, the stronger the prison dragon formation, but at the same time, the consumption is also very large.

Is it necessary to use it for something that is mortal no matter how you look at it?

Xu Shoujing originally saw that his hands and feet were entangled, and the tingling sensations all over his body were like waves of waves, and he felt a little panic in his heart.

But after a long while... He found that the pain was really painful, and it was unbearable to grit his teeth, but the infuriating qi in the body became smoother and smoother, and the qi and blood continued to rise.

Is Chu Ao showing mercy?Unlikely, there's only one reason for that—

"Nine Tribulations Heavy Prison Body".

The first step of ventilating qi and blood had already been completed unconsciously as early as 17 years of his martial arts practice, and his luck later was just the last kick at the door.

I remember Zhao Fuyao said that forging a root bone needs to go through the pain of scraping the bone and leaving the blood... Well, isn't that the case?

After thinking about it, Xu Shoujing also knew that there was no such good thing in the world, and Chu Ao didn't even know that he had practiced physical skills. I'm afraid it was just a mistake.

Now that the problem is solved, he is not in a hurry to break free, and starts to think about the next tactics by taking advantage of the training time of the Dragon Prisoner Formation.

Judging from Chu Ao's use of the formation to restrict him, he probably didn't know that he could destroy the formation, but only guessed that contact would make people temporarily unable to use the immortal method.

Immediately cast spells are different from formations. The source of the normal magic power supply is the caster, so the caster is 'silenced' and the spell cannot be used.

In order to maintain a long-term effect, the formation will have a formation base that is separated from the caster. Even if the caster is absent, it can operate on its own. This is the basis of the formation.

So for Xu Shoujing, the formation is easier to decipher. If you want to 'silence' the caster, you have to touch him, but if you want to destroy the formation, you can just pat the formation.

The problem is that after that, even if he breaks free from the prison dragon formation, Chu Ao will not give him a chance to touch him. If he continues to pull and cast spells while he is exhausted, he will win in the end.

"The mortal martial arts you learned before focused on one move and one style, but I asked you to train your body to train your body." Suddenly, I recalled what Zhao Fuyao said.

One move, one move... one move, one move?
Xu Shoujing had a hint of enlightenment. He didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence before, but now he finally understands it.

The past 17 years of martial arts life have made him invincible among his peers, but at the same time restricted his growth.

He was too obsessed with 'Silence', so all his tactics were based on it, he never considered other ways of playing, and he couldn't imagine himself after leaving 'Silence'.

Take 'silence' as the trump card to solve all problems. Once 'silence' fails to work, it will turn into chaos.

Unable to practice, no spiritual power, only 'silence' can be relied on.

All this is evidence that he kept underestimating himself.

After sorting out his thoughts, Xu Shoujing took a deep breath, his eyes became calmer than ever.

It is now clear what needs to be done in order to break the game.

Let go of the past and focus on the present.

　The second update, I said earlier that I didn't say it at today's update.

　　I can't help but write another chapter
