Chapter 27: The King of Provocation
January 15, 2018
The style of a general is basically the highest evaluation of a person in Shen City. Shen Cheng is still martial, and the generals who can command thousands of troops and horses are far more respected than the rich and powerful businessmen and talented writers.
However, with such a title on his back, Shen Feihong was regarded as the successor of Shen Ruoshi, the lord of Shen City, from a very young age.
Different from the tradition of ordinary immortal cultivation families passed down from generation to generation, the Shen family often has a tradition of passing on the throne from generation to generation.
This is also a matter of course, or rather helpless.
Although compared to the flood era, the life span of the current immortal cultivators has been greatly reduced, and three to five hundred years is even a rare high lifespan, but compared to ordinary people, the life span of monks is still too long.
The life of two or three hundred years is equivalent to three or four times that of ordinary people, but the pace of life of monks is not much slower than that of ordinary people. The kind of story of a hundred years of retreat appears almost exclusively in the legends of the flood era. Generally speaking, even if it is a hermit monk, it is terrible to have a retreat for three or five months at a time - no matter how long it is, it is easy to develop social disorders, autism, mania and other mental illnesses, which need to be diagnosed and treated by a professional doctor - so in the fast-paced life, the age of marriage of monks is usually not too late, thirty or forty years old is the average situation, fifty or sixty years old is considered to be late marriage and late childbearing, seventy or eighty years old is suspected of being old and improper, old and pretty.
In this way, family contradictions naturally appear, the ancestors are still in the prime of fighting, but the children and grandchildren have grown up strongly, and the succession of family power is very delicate.
This question has not been answered very well in the thousands of years of history of Xiangzhou. The struggle for power runs through the entire history of immortal cultivation in the Xiangzhou Continent, and if it weren't for the fact that a holy sect could frequently come forward to resolve disputes, the mainstream peace in the past two thousand years would be really unimaginable.
In Shencheng, the succession of power implements a very simple principle: the head of the family's word.
As long as the head of the family still has a breath, there is no doubt about the choice of the heir, the Shen family is still martial, the family implements militarized management, and the military order is like a mountain, of course, there is no negotiation.
Shen Feihong was selected by Shen Ruoshi as his successor when he was 10 years old, and in the following 10 years, the young and mature Shen family endured unimaginable pressure, and struggled to snatch one championship title after another among many brothers and sisters whose talents and qualifications were far superior to his.
To this day, no one will laugh at Shen Feihong on the issue of qualifications, and the title of the chief of the outer courtyard and the champion of Shen Cheng Dabi is enough to show his strength. On the contrary, those who are known for their talent and qualifications were suppressed by Shen Feihong. So Li Wanqing's provocation at this time is really ridiculous.
But Li Wanqing herself doesn't think so.
"NaΓ―ve? I think the naΓ―ve person is you, and you can make up for the talent gap by working hard? This kind of chicken soup for the soul of fools is almost rancid, and you still drink it non-stop. Li Wanqing sneered, "You said that you were the chief of the outer courtyard, but now among the monks in the outer courtyard of the Shen family, it is not you who is the first to cultivate." β
Shen Feihong didn't mind: "Shen Qi Zhenyuan is slightly better than me in the entry, but in the actual battle, I am still confident to win him." β
Li Wanqing said: "But it will never be as confident as a year ago." β
Shen Feihong replied indifferently: "Joke." β
"You know it in your own heart if you laugh or not, how long can your faith last, a year, two years? The period from the time the monk breaks the wind barrier to the age of 30 is the period of time when the monk's cultivation changes the fastest, and the talent changes almost every year. You can suppress Shen Qi this year, can you still suppress him next year and the year after? With your talent, even if you exhaust the resources of the Shen family and practice with all your might in this life, mixing in the middle and late stages of the mountain realm is the limit, and Shen Qi can try to break through the inverted sea realm before the age of 40 and become the top master in Xiangzhou. β
These words were reasonable, and they were talking about the situation of the Shen family themselves, and the people around them didn't have much disgust when they heard it, but some people nodded secretly.
Although the chief of the outer courtyard is Shen Feihong, everyone knows that it is up to Shen Qi to really take on great responsibilities in the future, and his unique qualifications are really enviable. Shen Feihong was able to suppress him for a few years, half of which was because Shen Feihong's cultivation was harder than anyone else's, and on the other hand, because he was 2 years older after all, and 2 years of cultivation meant a lot to these young people.
With the passage of time, Shen Feihong's advantage will only get smaller and smaller, and even now, it is still unknown whether Shen Feihong can really suppress Shen Qi.
The only question is, what do these things have to do with you, a Li family?
Li Wanqing said: "It's very simple, my talent is better than Shen Qi, and my strength is stronger than him, if you can't even suppress Shen Qi, why can you expect to give me a horse?" It's ridiculous that I can't do it. β
As soon as these words came out, the outer courtyard was in an uproar.
The young people of the Shen family were ignited with anger almost instantly, and they were eager to attack them in a group of rage. It's just that the steel discipline that has been forged for many years has allowed them to maintain restraint and turn all their attention to Shen Feihong, expecting this chief brother to teach the Li family a profound lesson.
Shen Feihong was not angry or angry, but nodded lightly: "Okay, then let's prove it." β
After speaking, the big hand like a grinding plate waved out flatly, drawing a blood-colored arc three feet square on the school field.
After drawing this circle, the outer courtyard of the Shen family suddenly became much quieter, and people looked at Shen Feihong and Li Wanqing seriously, looking forward to the next scene.
Shen Feihong made a simple explanation angrily: "Death match." β
Death match in the outer courtyard, fighting an irregular bloody battle in a small space of three zhang, until one side completely loses its combat power.
Although under the strict protection of the magic circle, the two sides of the fight will not be seriously injured to death, but it is not uncommon for the losing side to lie in a hospital bed for ten days and half a month. There are even precedents for disabling in serious cases.
And as soon as this death match came out, the Shen family knew that Shen Feihong was absolutely serious.
He entered the outer courtyard at the age of 6 and became the chief of the outer courtyard at the age of 16, and in the 14 years of the outer courtyard, he was not smooth sailing, he had missed in various projects, and he was once chased by Shen Qi a few years ago.
However, only in one project, Shen Feihong has never lost.
In the death match, Shen Feihong was invincible.
When he was 10 years old, Shen Feihong was appointed as his successor by Shen Ruoshi, and soon after, in the outer courtyard practice, a distant cousin who was 2 years older than him and whose cultivation talent was stronger than him insulted and mocked him with vicious words. Shen Feihong did not back down, opened his own deathmatch circle for the first time, and launched a deathmatch challenge to the other party. Then, with frightening calmness and tenacity in the death match, he beat his opponent to a broken tendon and was defeated on the spot.
However, when he came out of the circle, Shen Feihong was ten times worse than his opponent. He has been strong since he was a child, as if he had lost weight out of thin air - most of his strong muscles were cut by the other party's thousands of knives, and most of them were detached from the skeleton, and even the white ribs could be seen in his chest, as well as the beating heart struggling behind the ribs. One eyeball fell off the socket, and half of the skin was scraped off, revealing a broken skull.
That scene made many people vomit on the spot.
However, Shen Feihong himself still insisted on standing, raising his hand to declare his victory.
Since then, almost no one in the outer courtyard has dared to accept Shen Feihong's deathmatch challenge, and the few exceptions who have the courage to break the rules have not been able to create miracles in the deathmatch circle. Even 2 years ago, Shen Qi tried to challenge Shen Feihong in a deathmatch, but in the end, his divine consciousness was severely injured and he was lifted out of the circle.
Now, Shen Feihong took the initiative to draw a death match circle to challenge Li Wanqing, which was a direct declaration of victory in the eyes of many Shen family members.
I don't know if the people of the Li family dare to take on this challenge.
Of course Li Wanqing dared, without even the slightest hesitation, she turned back directly, stepped into the blood circle, and then sneered and provoked: "Come on, it's the dog that comes next." β
This kind of comfortable attitude has made many Shen family members feel uplifted.
Although everyone's confidence in Shen Feihong has been almost absolute over the years, these Li family members who took the lead as soon as they came to the outer courtyard ...... Who knows exactly how many intrigues they have prepared?
Shen Feihong is invincible to the death because the same Shen family is fighting the battle, even if there is a big contradiction, at least he still responds to the battle in a dignified manner, but the Li family, who knows how many traps they have prepared?
Previously, Shen Qingming used his age and appearance to make a personal attack as soon as they met, maybe it was to provoke Shen Feihong and stimulate him to launch a death match?
For a while, people even felt that it might be better for Shen Feihong to avoid the edge for the time being.
But Shen Feihong did not hesitate at all, and completely ignored Li Wanqing's provocation, followed her into the death circle, and then raised his hand and released a countdown blood spell in midair.
3β¦β¦
2β¦β¦
1β¦β¦
The moment the number returned to zero, Shen Feihong's eyes widened, and his divine sense was like a volcanic eruption, provoking the true yuan in his body to explode! A silent roar reverberated thousands of times in an instant in the small space!
It was as if even the space had been torn apart by these countless seismic waves, and people outside the circle only felt that their eyes were blurred, and their vision was seriously disturbed, and they couldn't see the situation inside the circle clearly.
But many people still gasped.
Big Brother Feihong is really ruthless, as soon as he makes a move, it is Zhenyuan's roaring killing move, with his cultivation in the Cloud Turning Realm at this time, if he is not restrained by this death circle, the aftermath alone can sweep away all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods within a radius of hundreds of zhang! And now that the power is highly focused in the space within a radius of three zhang, it comes so suddenly, so explosively, even opponents of the same level are difficult to resist......
However, when the roar calmed down, people only saw the red circle, the pitch-black armor stood still like a mountain, and Li Wanqing even shrugged her shoulders a little boredly.
"It's called a general, but it's actually weak."
