Fu Shifeng

Chapter 292 The future is unpredictable

Unlike the previous time when he took up a physical body, spoke and acted wildly, and caused wanton harm, today's Taotie has become stable and peaceful, and he does not tease and play with Cheng Sanwu like he did in the past.

But facing such Taotie, Cheng Sanwu didn't feel at all relaxed. They knew each other, just as Taotie knew Cheng Sanwu's plans, he also understood Taotie's collusion with Kong Yifang in private, trying to break the boundaries of the heavens.

In the past, Cheng Sanwu could also make Taotie think he had the upper hand by remaining silent and showing weakness, thereby making wrong judgments.

But now it's Cheng Sanwu's turn to reveal his true feelings, but he can't hide himself. This is why Cheng Sanwu must continue to hone his Yuan Gong foundation through fierce battles. Only in this way can he destroy the opponent's plan in advance.

"Have you ever thought about what kind of scenery you will see after breaking through the innate realm?" Taotie sat on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.

"Mountains are still mountains, water is still water, there is no difference in scenery." Cheng Sanwu said.

"How come there is no difference?" Taotie lowered his head and looked: "This body of yours was built with all the efforts of Fu Shifeng. From the beginning, Master Wen planned to let you control the energy of the Nine Dragons. Wait until you cross that At the threshold of the Tao, dragon energy is added to the body, the heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, and all living things appear before our eyes, and you are no longer you."

Cheng Sanwu narrowed his eyes slightly and Taotie shook his finger: "In that battle in Wuxian County, Suzhou, Master Wen suppressed me firmly with his dragon energy. Although it was quite embarrassing, I could see that he relied entirely on his power. Use the sense of martial arts to guide Yuan Gong to fight against me. Even an extraordinary and holy master like him cannot control the dragon energy as he pleases."

"Dragon Qi cannot be manipulated at will." Cheng Sanwu said.

"Yes, you understand, I understand, and Fu Shifeng must also understand, otherwise wouldn't they have been in vain for more than a thousand years?" Taotie smiled faintly: "Do you still remember the battle at Yongning Temple in Hebei? Liu Xuantong's innate physique , I think it must still be fresh in my memory, does it feel a bit familiar to you?"

Cheng Sanwu was not ignorant, especially the battle with Dujiao Cangsi, which made him thoroughly understand the special features of his body.

"Li Zhaozhen's fetal essence and blood, Liu Xuantong's physical foundation, you have been Fu Shifeng's deliberate tool to control dragon energy from the beginning." Taotie touched his beard: "But think about it, Fu Shifeng would do this Is it natural for you to control the dragon energy? Or are they going to overthrow the country again and make you the leader?"

Cheng Sanwu didn't answer. Taotie asked and answered: "Of course it's impossible. You and I both know that. So what's the deep meaning of Fu Shifeng's doing this?"

"What you said is just to persuade me not to try to break through the innate realm." Cheng Sanwu will not be incited by the other party's words at all.

"Yes, I really don't want you to take that step." Taotie made no secret: "But I said this because I know Fu Shifeng well enough. If in order to deal with me, it results in a greater disaster, then They would rather not do it. In this case, why can they ensure that they can tightly control you after you break through the innate realm? Don't tell me how much they really trust you."

Cheng Sanwu still didn't refute. He knew very well that Fu Shifeng had been secretly monitoring him, which meant that they were wary of him.

"Let's just talk about the Yunmeng Pavilion." Taotie scratched his head and couldn't help laughing: "A blind person can see that they are the subordinates of the orphan in Xiling City. They have arranged some big monsters for you to deal with. Since they are deliberately The temptation also allows you to eliminate all monsters, so that even if you try to resist in the future, you will not have any reliable backup.

"Have you ever gained any benefit from all your hard work? Apart from vigilance and surveillance that will never be relaxed, what else have you gained?"

"I didn't do these things just to please Fu Shifeng." Cheng Sanwu looked at Taotie with a bit of contempt: "I originally thought you could understand, but in the end you still have this kind of morality, which really disappoints me. .”

Taotie shrugged and spread his hands: "I just make judgments based on ordinary people's thoughts. Isn't this the result that Master Wen wants from his heart? Now that I have learned it, you say I am disappointed?"

Cheng Sanwu responded silently, of course he knew Fu Shifeng was on guard against him. Cheng Sanwu wouldn't be surprised if someone tries to kill him one day.

But precisely because he understood this, Cheng Sanwu was destined not to obey Fu Shifeng's arrangements, and he did not intend to sit still and wait for death. Even if there was no hatred for Fu Shifeng in his heart, just to protect himself, Cheng Sanwu would uproot Fu Shifeng and eliminate him completely.

"And it's not just Fu Shifeng." Taotie sighed: "If I remember correctly, coming to the land of Xiaoxiang to deal with the thousand-year-old ghost king this time is the arrangement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right? These geldings also plan to use you to eliminate Fu Shifeng. Feng, if the matter is done, how will they treat you?"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs relies on its power to drive demons, and the harm is particularly severe. I will not let it go." Cheng Sanwu said bluntly.

Taotie couldn't help but laugh and said: "They are giving you a salary, and this is how you treat them?"

Cheng Sanwu said in a cold tone: "If you reach out and play with fire, you will have the consciousness of being swallowed by the fire!"

"But you are just firewood." Taotie sighed.

……

His eyes refocused on the present world, and Cheng Sanwu still stood there, with killing edges from all directions almost completely blocking his field of vision. The ultimate slashing attack was enough to break everything into dust, but it had no effect in front of the True Fire Yuan Dan.

Hearing the iron-gnawing beast let out a cry, Cheng Sanwu said: "You ask me why I can block such attacks? No, except for the initial confrontation, I did not deliberately resist later. This is just the awakening of enlightenment and random response. With the skill of keeping an open mind and stillness, you can naturally move forward without any harm."

The iron-gnawing beast didn't seem to expect to get such a reply, and couldn't muster the energy to even retort angrily.

Slowly holding the Hundred Refined Divine Sword across his chest, Cheng Sanwu gently stroked the blade, making it look like a bundle of flames condensed into a solid object.

The iron-gnawing beast instinctively felt fear. It saw that Cheng Sanwu was going to fight back, and immediately ignored the cost, activated its true energy, forcibly activated the mineral veins, absorbed the physical essence formed over millions of years, and condensed it into a force that could tear the sky apart. Extremely sharp.

This move greatly exceeded the limit of the iron-gnawing beast. It personally experienced the pain of having its flesh and blood cut into pieces by thousands of cuts. Its huge and clumsy body could not help but tremble, and mercury-like blood flowed out from the gaps in the outer hard shell.

Facing the sharp edge that splits the sky, Cheng Sanwu no longer stood still, stepped forward, swung his sword and slashed out, like a star flowing with fire, burning out all obstacles.

The two forces collided brazenly, with repeated explosions. The Jinting Cave, which was already in a mess, could no longer bear it. The rock formations supporting the mountain cave were as fragile as dry tissue paper, and collapsed suddenly!

Staying in the distance, Chi Yang sensed movement in the mountains. When he looked up, he saw a mountain top that was like a deflated rubber ball, collapsing and falling. The ground shook, rocks collapsed, and clouds arose, and large amounts of smoke and dust rose up, covering the sky and the earth.

Chiyang frowned. Although when she fought with Hong Ya, the battle was not smaller than now, but it was a vast lake after all. For her, a dragon, she could roam freely everywhere.

The caves in the mountains are completely different. There is almost no way out if you go deep into them. Once the landslide collapses, you will not be able to escape even if you are inside. Only cave-dwelling monsters like the Iron-gnawing Beast can safely live there.

Pushing aside the smoke and dust, Chiyang rushed towards Jinting Cave. However, the landform changed drastically. The original path could not be found, and the direction of the cave became confusing and difficult to determine.

"Cheng Sanwu! Where are you?!" Chi Yang searched around in the rugged ruins, relying on his amazing physical strength to push large rocks away at will, trying to dig downwards.

"Are you... caring about me?"

Cheng Sanwu's voice suddenly sounded from the side, causing Chiyang's expression to change. Turning around, he saw Cheng Sanwu sitting leisurely on a large rock with the top flattened. There was no trace of smoke or dust on his body, as if he had not experienced a fierce battle just now.

Facing Cheng Sanwu's question, Chi Yang deliberately turned a blind eye, looked around and asked, "Where's the iron-gnawing beast?" "Here it is." Cheng Sanwu held up a piece of exotic gold full of holes, shaped like a heart.

"Spiritual marrow?" Chiyang recognized it at a glance: "Did you kill it?"

"Although we fought for a long time, in the end, it was just a single blow." Cheng Sanwu said calmly: "This iron-gnawing beast is indeed powerful, and it is not the kind of monster that fights with people just by relying on its natural talent and brute strength. . The killing gold energy in its hands has many changes. It is like an adult, like a master who is proficient in various weapons and martial arts, and has dozens of arms. It is difficult to deal with just parrying. "

Cheng Sanwu really went all out this time. Without the True Fire Yuan Dan to melt the killing edge, it would be difficult for him to win.

"You don't seem very happy?" Chiyang discovered that Cheng Sanwu was not as complacent as he was after defeating a powerful enemy.

"The iron-gnawing beast was originally imprisoned by Fu Shifeng's swordsmith for hundreds of years. He was forced to eat the ore and expel the refined gold and iron." Cheng Sanwu said.

Chiyang frowned slightly when he heard this, and then asked: "The iron-gnawing beast feeds on gold and iron, so it doesn't seem to be forced?"

Cheng Sanwu sneered: "No matter how strong the appetite is for ordinary people, it is impossible for them to eat ten meals a day. What's more, the iron-gnawing beast eats ore and produces gold and iron. The whole process is not comfortable. Even if it is not a thousand cuts, it is still worth it. It’s like burning inside and outside.”

Chi Yang stared at Cheng Sanwu, as if he wanted to see something, and asked, "Why do you know so well?"

Cheng Sanwu lowered his head and looked at the Bailian Divine Sword on his knee. Now there were fiery red lines on the blade that looked like meridians.

"I sensed it during the fight, and when I finally killed it, I had a glimpse of its life experience," Cheng Sanwu said.

"This may not be a good thing." Chi Yang reminded.

"Are you worried that it will disrupt my decision-making?" Cheng Sanwu shook his head: "Don't worry, this level of experience is slightly better than boring for me."

Chiyang looked at the piece of strange golden spiritual marrow and looked at the rubble on the ground, and he actually felt sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.

"There is no need to feel sad for it." Cheng Sanwu said: "At the last moment, it understood something, and even though it failed, it had no regrets."

"I worked my life for Fu Shifeng, but in the end I only got this result." Chi Yang said angrily: "You told me that there are no regrets when you have no regrets? What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Indeed." Cheng Sanwu exhaled a breath of filthy air, stood up and slashed into the air with his sword, as if he was deliberately abandoning something: "The closer to the innate realm, the harder it is to control the change of mind. What I hate the most is this kind of Sophisticated pretense!”

Chi Yang put his hands on his hips and snorted coldly: "Seeking benevolence will lead to benevolence, who can blame you?"

Cheng Sanwu smiled and said nothing at first, and then his face changed slightly. Chiyang saw that he was on guard, and immediately scanned the surroundings and said in a deep voice: "There is something peeping in the dark, sneaky!"

"Take it!"

As soon as Cheng Sanwu finished speaking, Chi Yang's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot, with only the slightly raised smoke and dust on the ground indicating his movement.

Although Chiyang has transformed into a human form, the nature of a dragon cannot be underestimated. In terms of divine power, she is not inferior to Cheng Sanwu. Fu Shifeng arranged for her to monitor Cheng Sanwu, perhaps hoping to use her power to counter the out-of-control Taotie at the critical moment.

However, Chiyang also harbored resentment towards Fu Shifeng. She and Cheng Sanwu had been getting along for a long time and trusted each other, so they were able to trust each other.

Even though Chiyang maintained his human form, his movement speed was still incredibly fast, and he saw a collision, causing flying rocks to rain down.

"Want to escape? It's not that easy!"

In the smoke and dust, Chiyang seemed to grab something and beat it hard. Upon seeing this, Cheng Sanwu stepped forward quickly and dissuaded him: "Hey! Be gentle, don't kill me, I still want to ask questions!"

He saw a golden-haired beast being thrown to his feet by Chiyang. Cheng Sanwu looked down and found that it was a weasel that could be seen everywhere in the countryside. It was slightly larger than usual and had bright-colored fur. Chiyang was beaten several times and was dying.

"Where did this little thing come from?" Cheng Sanwu pinched the back of the yellow weasel's neck and lifted it up to look at.

But the dying yellow weasel reacted instantly. With a deft flick of its long and thick tail, it whipped up a sharp wind blade and rushed towards the door.

"call--"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Sanwu opened his mouth and breathed out, and the violent scorching wind blew away the wind blade, but instead blew the weasel's hair until it spontaneously ignited.

The yellow weasel let out a shrill scream and struggled wildly in Cheng Sanwu's hands, but after a few movements it became silent.

Throwing away the body of the yellow weasel, Chi Yang stepped forward and said, "This thing has become a spirit, but it seems unusual."

"It was driven by someone to spy on me." Cheng Sanwu said, "When I grabbed it, it immediately cut off the spell and had no time to sense it."

Chi Yang frowned slightly: "This doesn't look like Fu Shifeng's method. It's too despicable and smells of heresy."

"It doesn't matter who it is." Cheng Sanwu didn't care: "I just hope that when I come to the door, he will be bolder and don't worry about escaping."

……

Wu Zhenren gathered his consciousness and looked at the repaired square mirror in front of him. In it was Huang Weas last look before his death. Cheng Sanwu's face was reflected in the mirror, with a contemptuous and sarcastic smile.

"I didn't expect that even the form of entering the soil can be seen through easily. This is not ordinary." Wu Zhenren waved his hand to disperse the light and shadow in the mirror. He did not feel sorry for the killing of the yellow weasel who was enlightened by his own elixir spell. He just We must carefully consider how to deal with Cheng Sanwu in the future.

Turning around and walking out of the Octagonal Hall, Wu Zhenren came to a quiet dormitory, in which lay twelve women. They were pregnant with Liujia and had round bellies, but all of them had a look of dementia on their faces and drooling at the corners of their mouths.

Wu Zhenren inspected them one by one. When he came closer, the bellies of these women would light up slightly, revealing a strange fetus inside.

"No hurry, no rush." ​​Wu Zhenren raised his hand and patted the woman's slightly squirming belly, with a friendly expression, as if he were treating his own baby: "Just wait a little longer, and you will be born. I will rely on you then."
