Tour the world of martial arts

Chapter 358
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Hearing Sanren Ning Daoqi's arrival, there was an uproar around him.Then, it quickly became quiet again.

After all, the title of Sanren Ning Daoqi was not gained by virtue of his age, but by decades of bloody battles.

As the only great master in the Central Plains in the past hundred years, he has dominated the world for decades. His prestige is so great that it makes people talk about it with shame.

Even though Ning Daoqi has spent most of these years looking for places to cultivate in hiding and rarely moves around the world, no one dares to despise the name of a great master.

The older generation, such as You Chuhong and Liao Kong, were naturally very familiar with Ning Daoqi. The younger generation didn't know that the person coming was this world-famous grandmaster until someone called out Ning Daoqi's name.

No wonder this person is able to perform so many incredible feats. The Grand Master's cultivation level is truly extraordinary.

Only then did everyone realize that it was no wonder that Buddhism dared to agree to this gambling fight with Zhao Mingyuan, and Shi Feixuan even dared to boast that Haikou would use itself as a bet.

It turns out that with the trump card of Ning Daoqi, victory can be guaranteed.

Now that Ning Daoqi has come forward, it's obvious from his tone that he wants to take action.

I didn't expect that this gambling fight would turn out like this. The Buddhists really didn't hesitate to deal with Zhao Mingyuan at any cost. It seemed that the Buddhists really hated Zhao Mingyuan.

Now that Ning Daoqi is about to take action, the heroes naturally believe that Zhao Mingyuan has no chance of winning, and this battle is definitely lost.

Even if Zhao Mingyuan can be said to be invincible under the Grand Master, when faced with the Grand Master, he may only have the option of surrendering without mercy, or even running away might not be able to escape.

Although almost no one present was optimistic about Zhao Mingyuan, there were still a few people who believed that Zhao Mingyuan might be able to escape if he tried his best, while Ning Daoqi might not pursue him because of his face.

After all, it is embarrassing enough to bully a young man in his twenties with the level of cultivation of a great master.If he continues to pursue Zhao Mingyuan in front of so many people, then where is the majesty of the Grand Master?
Therefore, in the eyes of You Chuhong and Chao Gongcuo, Zhao Mingyuan still seems to have a glimmer of hope.

However, Zhao Mingyuan may not be able to seize all these opportunities.

What's more, even if Zhao Mingyuan really seizes this glimmer of hope, it may not be a good thing.

Even if Zhao Mingyuan managed to escape from the battle, the incident would become his inner demon and haunt him forever.

The martial arts in the Tang Dynasty world pays great attention to the state of mind.If you are in an excellent state of mind, not only can your martial arts progress rapidly, but you will also have an advantage in battle. It is also very common to fight across levels.

This is why the protagonists Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling defeated the strong and succeeded many times.

Of course, this does not mean that warriors cannot be defeated or escape, otherwise it will affect their state of mind.

Although warriors have always believed in preferring death rather than surrender, they must have the courage to draw their swords even when encountering a strong enemy.But everyone is weak, and who can guarantee victory in every battle?
As long as the defeat is not too disastrous and leaves a terrifying psychological shadow, it is generally not a serious problem.

After all, it is a rare courage for a weak person to dare to fight against a strong person. If he still demands victory, isn't that making things difficult for others?

In fact, if the weak fights against the strong, even if they are defeated, their general mood will not be greatly affected.

Unless the defeat was too miserable, or the opponent left an invincible psychological shadow in his mind.

Just like Qu Ao and Chao Gongcuo, since they were defeated by the great master, they have had inner demons and have been unable to recover. It has been difficult to make progress for decades, and there is even the possibility of falling into the realm.

Of course, that was because they had a high self-esteem and believed that they were at the same level as the Grand Master. However, they were easily defeated by their opponents in a battle of the same level. They lost so miserably that they were devastated.

But now, although the two of them have obvious strengths and weaknesses, if they escape without fighting, they will easily become frustrated and have been unable to recover since then.

After all, Zhao Mingyuan has won many battles since his debut and has never been defeated.If you run away without fighting now, it will be difficult to make progress in martial arts in the future.

But if he didn't escape and stayed to fight with Ning Daoqi, his state of mind would not be broken, but if he failed and was imprisoned by the Buddhists, the result would not be much better.

In short, it seems that no matter what choice he makes, Zhao Mingyuan seems to be destined for failure.

Buddhism wants to completely kill Zhao Mingyuan, a genius who has reached the Grandmaster level in his twenties, so as to eliminate the possibility of him breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

In that case, even if Zhao Mingyuan really manages to escape, his strength and prestige will be greatly reduced, and he will no longer be able to cause trouble.

But everyone saw that Zhao Mingyuan knew this but had no intention of escaping.

Everyone knew that before the fight, if Zhao Mingyuan tried his best to escape, there was still a possibility of escaping.It would be almost impossible to escape after losing a fight.

But now, Zhao Mingyuan obviously has no intention of escaping, which shows that he has made up his mind and will never back down.

It seemed that today was the end of Zhao Mingyuan. Even if Ning Daoqi showed mercy and turned to Buddhism after defeat, there would be no good results.

However, since Zhao Mingyuan stayed and did not escape, he obviously would not choose that way.

Probably he would rather die in battle, so that at least he would die in a battle with the Grand Master, with no damage done to him.

All the heroes sighed, pitifully, Zhao Mingyuan prospered because of his luck, but now he is defeated because his luck has been exhausted.

Facing a great master like Ning Daoqi, even You Chuhong and others who originally believed that Zhao Mingyuan could escape this disaster could not help but be shaken.

Both the heroes and the Buddhists in front of them all thought that Zhao Mingyuan would definitely lose this battle.But only Ning Daoqi had a strange feeling in his heart and looked at Zhao Mingyuan standing on the Tianjin Bridge.Because even though Zhao Mingyuan saw him appear and knew that he was the opponent in this battle, his expression remained calm.It seemed that these situations were all expected by him, and there was even a hint of the feeling on his face that it was finally true.

Does Zhao Mingyuan have any backup plans? Or is he convinced that he is strong enough, even when facing a great master?

Ning Daoqi stared at Zhao Mingyuan, even though he looked up from below, he had no feeling of looking up.

After a while, Ning Daoqi suddenly said: "Zhao Xiaoyou's martial arts are full of Taoism, which obviously shows that the techniques you practice also come from Taoism.

However, the old Taoist has been wandering around the world for decades, but he has never seen a Taoist true secret that can compete with the skills practiced by Zhao Xiaoyou.

Looking at Zhao Xiaoyou's vitality, only the legendary longevity secret matched it.

Could it be that the technique that Zhao Xiaoyou practiced was the longevity secret that no one has been able to successfully practice for thousands of years? "

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was naturally shocked.

The Secret of Immortality is one of the four great wonder books in the world. It ranks higher than Cihang Sword Code and Tianmo Ce. Naturally, it has a great name and everyone present has heard of it.

However, I heard that this longevity secret is a Taoist treasure. Although it has been passed down for thousands of years, no one has ever been able to master it.

I don’t know how many Taoist sages have specialized in this skill, but none of them have been able to master the martial arts in the Changsheng Technique.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyuan actually succeeded.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but think to themselves, it seems that Zhao Mingyuan is indeed very lucky. Not only did he obtain He's Bi and Yang Gong's treasury, but he was also able to practice techniques that no one had been able to practice in thousands of years. His luck was indeed astonishing.

It seems that the only fate that can be compared with it is the Yan Fei who broke the void.

Alas, it's a pity that before Zhao Mingyuan reached his peak, he was about to encounter a great master who didn't care about his dignity and bullied the younger ones.

It seemed that Zhao Mingyuan, the son of fate, was also going to die young.

Faced with Ning Daoqi's inquiry and hearing him reveal that he had practiced the Secret of Immortality, Zhao Mingyuan naturally did not deny it.

After all, since the news that Shi Long had obtained the Secret of Immortality could reach Yang Guang's ears, it was not surprising that Ning Daoqi learned the news.

Moreover, the Secret of Immortality is the most precious treasure of the Taoist sect. It has been passed down by many Taoist sages and has always attracted great attention from people in the Taoist sect.

Anyway, this is not a secret that cannot be told. Zhao Mingyuan replied directly: "Yes, I accidentally learned about this longevity secret. By chance, I did practice it."

Everyone had not recovered from the surprise of Zhao Mingyuan admitting that he had mastered such a magical skill as the Changsheng Jue, but they heard Zhao Mingyuan continue to say loudly: "Master Ning is the number one in the Taoist sect, and I have long admired him.

But this Immortality Secret has always been called the 'Tao Sect's First True Secret'.

Now that we have met by fate, you and I will have a battle.

Just let the world know who is the real number one in the Taoist sect! "

Zhao Mingyuan was full of fighting spirit, and after speaking, he stopped talking nonsense, pulled out his sword with a "choke", and pointed it at Ning Daoqi.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyuan actually dared to draw his sword against the Grand Master, and all the heroes secretly praised him.

The Buddhist monks also hurriedly retreated and left Tianjin Bridge to make way for the two of them.

Shi Feixuan originally wanted to say a few words, trying to persuade Zhao Mingyuan to surrender without a fight.

In this way, although Zhao Mingyuan lost the bet, there was no need to talk about the fight for hegemony.However, if Zhao Mingyuan is persuaded to be the protector of Buddhism, and coupled with the power of his men, the world can be pacified faster and the lives of people will be reduced.

After the world is unified, Zhao Mingyuan's position as Duke can be expected, and his martial arts practice will not be cut off.

In Shi Feixuan's view, this is the best choice for Zhao Mingyuan, Buddhism and the people of the world.

It's a pity that when Zhao Mingyuan drew his sword directly, it was known that his mind had been made up and it would be difficult to change the matter.

Seeing this, Shi Feixuan could only sigh secretly in her heart and retreat silently.

Zhao Mingyuan and Ning Daoqi were on the Tianjin Bridge and on the boat under the bridge.The two looked at each other, their momentum gradually rising.

The whole place suddenly fell silent, and there was silence all around. Only the sound of the wind and the gurgling water echoed each other.

Everyone stared at the two of them, not daring to blink, for fear that they would miss the upcoming battle in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Mingyuan is the No. 1 of the younger generation, and even the No. 1 under the Grand Master. Now he is challenging the old Grand Master Ning Daoqi.No matter what the outcome of this battle is, it will definitely shake the world and even affect the direction of the world situation.

No one wants to miss the slightest bit of this upcoming battle.
