Chapter 24: Murder
The sharp sword light slashed Tang Tribulation, pointing directly at Tang Tribulation's back.
This sword Zhuang Shen used eighty percent of his strength, and it can be determined that Tang Zheng will not die after the sword, but he will be hit hard.
But at the same time as he took out his sword, Tang Zheng moved.
He turned!
With a raised right hand, the long sword in his hand, was blocking the falling sword blade, making a sonorous sound, Zhuang Shen's sword was useless, but his whole body trembled.
"You!" Zhuang Shen was taken aback, this sword that had been gathering momentum for a long time was useless, showing that the opponent had already prepared.
He was shocked in his heart, and was about to pinch the magic trick, only to see Tang Zheng smile fiercely, and he had already rushed towards Zhuang Shen and punched Zhuang Shen in the face.
This punch was extremely ferocious, and Zhuang Shen's nosebleed and fell out.
He rolled on the ground, dodging Tang Zheng's next attack, only to see that Tang Zheng did not pursue, but just looked at him coldly.
"You...... You already knew that Lu Dao ......" Zhuang Shen looked at Tang Zheng in disbelief.
Tang Zai shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know what to do, I'm just habitually preparing for the worst outcome." To be honest, I didn't expect that the main envoy of the Heavenly God Palace here would really be so decisive, and immediately send someone to arrest me after this happened, they are really not afraid of the consequences of arresting the wrong person...... Admire, admire, it looks like I have a good opponent. ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Shen shouted loudly: "You are really Tang Jie!"
Tang Zai's words had no intention of admitting his identity.
I thought that I would have to fight hard, and I had to take down the opponent and torture the other party before the other party confessed, but I didn't expect Tang Zheng to save his effort and admit it directly.
In the past, Gu Changqing was most worried that they would eventually catch the wrong target in this action, but now that he got this news, Zhuang Shen was already relieved.
He laughed: "Okay! Okay! I didn't expect that this Heavenly God Palace's first great achievement over the years was finally completed by me Zhuang Shen." As long as I catch you, the Heavenly God Palace will definitely have a heavy reward, and it will be easy for me to enter the mortal world at that time, even if it is to reach the heart of heaven, it will not be difficult. Haha
As he spoke, he stood up, threw away the ordinary iron sword, and casually took out another purple short sword from the bag beside him.
This short sword is different from the previous one, the purple sword is surrounded by Dao law patterns, and there is a faint flow of fire, if you look carefully, you can see that it is also a refining array.
Magical!
Before, Zhuang Shen had no intention of killing people, and only used mortal iron, but now that the target is prepared, he naturally takes out the magic weapon.
However, compared to that magic weapon, Tang Zheng obviously paid more attention to the bag that Zhuang Shen took the treasure.
He tilted his head: "Mustard seed bag...... Okay, very good, I didn't expect that in order to deal with me, the Heavenly God Palace even gave you a mustard seed bag, there must be a lot of good things in it, right?"
The mustard seed bag, which uses mustard seeds to contain Sumeru, is one of the most important magic weapons of the immortal family.
However, this kind of magic weapon is not just anyone can have, the mustard seed bag on the market is basically a cubic piece of spirit jade, and the higher you go, the more the price rises.
Zhuang Shen had already snorted and said: "In order to get back the military examination, the Heavenly God Palace has spent a lot of money in the past few years, and it has consumed countless manpower and material resources, and Lord Gu Ying has been even more exhausted, compared to what a mustard seed bag is." Finally, you lived up to the Eagle Lord's expectations and finally appeared. It's just that no one expected that after you came to the academy, you would shout and play a trick with us. ”
Tang Zheng smiled: "I don't think about it that much, and I don't think this kind of child's game will be of any use to you." The reason why I did that was just because I was forced to do so, otherwise you think I wouldn't want to study well in the academy?"
"Forced by us?" Zhuang Shen was puzzled.
At this time, he was in no hurry to make a move.
The purpose of his coming was not to kill Tang Zheng, but to catch him and torture him, since the other party must answer any questions, then whether he catches him or not is secondary, the focus is to figure out many doubts in his heart.
If retrieving the military knowledge is the first priority, then what Tang Zheng is doing is the second priority that Gu Changqing is most concerned about.
"yes, I was forced by you. Tang Zai nodded: "You say, if I don't shout that I'm Tang Zai, will you not check me? If I don't go to the Moon Washing Academy and go to another academy, will you not check me?"
Zhuang Shen shook his head: "How is it possible, all the academies of this Wenxin Country, large and small, are under our surveillance, and this Moon Washing Academy is just the most important one among them." And all the students who enter the academy, no matter which one of them are among our investigations, from the very beginning, Lord Gu Ying didn't expect you to keep your original name. ”
Gu Changqing is a cautious person, he will not suspect Tang Zheng because he shouts, nor will he not doubt him because Tang Zheng does not shout, everything is evidence after all.
If it weren't for being forced into a corner by Tang Zheng this time, he would never have been able to arrest someone so quickly.
"That's right, it's because I know this, so I don't need to change my name, after all, it's the same whether I change it or not, as long as I still want to cultivate immortals, you will find me sooner or later. Tang Zai said with a smile.
"That's right, so I can understand why you came to wash the moon for Lu, anyway, it's suspicious everywhere, so it's better to go to Lu. But how do you know how we search?" Zhuang Shen was puzzled: "What if we don't investigate one by one, but secretly send people to look for suspicious targets?"
"You told me yourself. Tang Zheng replied: "If you want to use the method of secret surveillance, then why do you want the students of the Heavenly God Palace to appear openly? No matter how weak the Heavenly God Palace is in Wen Xinguo, it is always possible to arrange one or two people to infiltrate the academy? Aren't you one of them? There is only one answer, that is, there are too many academies, and there are too many students, and it is impossible to find out by relying on one or two people to investigate. ”
Zhuang Shen opened his mouth and was speechless.
Tang Zheng has already said: "The military examination is very important, it is impossible to check everyone with limited manpower, but the Heavenly God Palace does not have the ability to wantonly install its own people, so it can only come up with this method of exchanging students." So there are some things that I really don't want to do, but I just can't do them. Of course, there must be an open investigation and a secret investigation, and the Heavenly God Palace is really trying its best. ”
These words hit the bottom of Zhuang Shen's heart, and he could only sigh: "That's true." My Heavenly God Palace doesn't hide because it can't be hidden, and if you don't hide it, it's actually because you can't hide it. Since you can't hide it anyway, you can simply use it in reverse, the risk is more dangerous, but it is also a choice in desperation. My Heavenly God Palace's golden clothes appeared, trying to force you out. And your strong words and ambitions are trying to lead out the Moon Washing Sect, all for the same reason, they are all forced to choose in desperation!"
There is always a lot of helplessness in the world, which is determined by the will of the unhuman.
If he could, Gu Changqing would never want the people of the Heavenly God Palace to openly appear in the Moon Washing Academy.
If he could, Tang Zheng would never be willing to shout openly at the door of the Moon Washing Academy.
If he could, Tang Zheng would also not be willing to entrust Wu Xing to buy medicine.
If he could, Tang Zheng would not even be willing to go to the Wei Mansion as a servant.
Unless adventurous by nature, most miracles and feats are based on helplessness and compulsion.
"yes. At this moment, Tang Zheng also sighed: "It's a pity that the Moon Washing Sect still didn't notice me." That Gu Ying of yours is really good, in order to dispel the attention of the Moon Washing Sect, he must have put a lot of thought into it, right?"
"Every time he enrolls in school, Lord Gu Ying will first lock up a group of suspicious students and suppress them, for which he has spent a lot of money, but unfortunately he is still easily destroyed by you as soon as you have a thief. Zhuang Shen said coldly: "Yin Xiyue sent to fight against the Heavenly God Palace, it is really calculating!"
Tang Zheng smiled: "Didn't you guess it too, but you can't confirm it after all." ”
"Yes, I couldn't confirm it, but now I can. Zhuang Shen's sword in his hand pointed directly at Tang Zheng, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Where else can you run now?"
Tang Zai snorted coldly: "Do I need to run?" It's just you who confirms. ”
An aqua blue shield has appeared on his body as well.
Zhuang Shen's eyes suddenly became fierce: "You dare to resist, it's stupid!"
The purple short sword in his hand was raised, and a sword light had already slashed towards Tang Zheng.
Tang Zai blocked it with a backhand sword, and replied coldly: "It's you stupid, right? Do you think that if I tell you this, you can still live?"
"Joke, it's up to you?" Zhuang Shen had already shouted, and the purple short sword was raised again, and this time a purple flame jumped out of the sword body, attacking Tang Tribulation vigorously.
Hearing a bang, the purple fire skyrocketed, penetrating the layer of light, and the aftermath impacted on Tang Zheng's body, causing a purple fire to rise on his body, forcing Tang Zheng to roll on the ground again and again.
Zhuang Shen walked over with a big smile: "How powerful is my Purple Flame Sword?"
Tang Zheng rolled on the ground again and again, and the purple flame burned on his body for a few moments before it was extinguished, but it had left one burn mark after another on his body.
Tang Zheng snorted in pain: "The power is really good, what you are cultivating is either the Yang Valley Purple Flame Technique of the Moon Washing Sect or the Yang Heavenly Fire Technique of the Heavenly God Palace, right?"
Zhuang Shen was stunned, but he didn't expect Tang Zheng to still have the heart to say this at this time, and snorted: "Since it is the secret son of the Divine Palace who has mixed into the academy, it is naturally the Purple Flame Technique of Xiuyang Valley, and the Flame Sword Technique is practiced, with the Purple Flame Technique as the base, and with this Purple Fire Sword, the power of my Flame Sword Technique can be more than doubled, and even the casting speed has been greatly increased." Your water light shield can block my sword, but it can't stop my purple fire!
Zhuang Shen pointed at Tang Zheng and said sharply.
"At this level, you dare to come and kill me?" Tang Zheng chuckled: "The Heavenly God Palace won't be so stingy, right?"
"What?" Zhuang Shen was stunned again by Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng had already stood up from the ground, and then he saw that the wound he had just been burned by the flames was rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
How is this possible?
Zhuang Shen couldn't believe his eyes.
Tang Zheng shook his neck and said coldly: "Let me tell you one more thing, the Tibetan Elephant Sutra has the effect of refining the body, and you can absorb the spiritual energy to refine yourself before entering the spiritual platform." At present, my physical fitness is not bad, maybe I can't reach the level of refining my body in the mortal stage now, but it's basically no problem for mortals to be injured, and ordinary small spells are of little use to me. Of course, if you have the Purple Fire Sword in your hand, it will be much more powerful, but if I add a water light mask, the combination of the two will be enough. Even if there are still some minor injuries, but fortunately, the recovery speed of this Tibetan Elephant Sutra is still quite fast. So...... You're going to have to work harder to catch me. ”
"Tibetan Elephant Sutra Refining Body?" Zhuang Shen looked at Tang Zheng in amazement, and then he laughed loudly: "It turns out that this is your confidence." I didn't expect the Tibetan Elephant Sutra to be so useful, and the treasure of the soldier master was really extraordinary. The more powerful you are, the more valuable the soldier's relics are, and the greater my merits!"
As he spoke, his face turned grim, and the Purple Fire Sword had risen again into a raging flame, slashing fiercely at Tang Zheng.
"I said, it's not enough!" Tang Zheng had already swung his sword with his backhand to meet it, and while resisting the attack of the purple fire sword, he stabbed at Zhuang Shen's door with a sword.
A shield had suddenly appeared in Zhuang Shen's hand, blocking Tang Zheng's attack.
Zhuang Shen had already kicked Tang Tribulation with a flying kick, hitting Tang Tribulation at the same time, shattering the shield on his body, and shouted wildly: "Then how about adding this Yuan Qi shield?"
His Yuan Qi Shield was also released extremely quickly, obviously like Tang Zheng, he had practiced thousands of times.
Tang Zheng was kicked up by him and fell back to the ground again.
Zhuang Shen had already taken out a piece of rune paper and pointed at Tang Zheng: "Flying Sword Talisman!"
I saw that the rune paper had turned into a spirit sword and shot towards Tang Tribulation.
Seeing that Tang Zheng couldn't hide anymore, another water light mask appeared.
The flying sword pierced the water light mask, and stabbed Tang Zheng in the chest through the light mask again, and at the same time, Tang Zheng Tiger roared, and punched out, hitting the flying sword, only to hear the boom, the flying sword had turned into countless runes and dissipated, and a trace of blood also flowed out of Tang Zheng's fist.
This cover, a punch, made Zhuang Shen's heart shocked, and he shouted loudly: "It turns out that you have been prepared!"
He practiced the Yuan Qi Shield hard because he had the support of the Heavenly God Palace, so he naturally had to practice the life-saving spell first and be ready to act at any time.
But it seems a little unpredictable that Tang Zheng's water mask can be released so quickly, which shows that the other party is also ready to fight this one.
Tang Zheng had slowly stood up, looked at Zhuang Shen and said, "What's so strange about this?" I said, I don't know if the Dao Heavenly God Palace will come, but I will definitely prepare for the worst...... Moreover, the result is not necessarily really bad. ”
Zhuang Shen laughed: "Are you kidding? Do you think you can block my Heavenly God Palace with just a water light mask?"
"Why can't you do it?" Tang Zheng asked rhetorically, "Do you know what is the key to determining the outcome of a battle?"
"Of course it's strength!" The purple sword in Zhuang Shen's hand had already slashed towards Tang Zheng again.
Tang Zheng returned his sword to greet him, and said in a long voice: "Strength is indeed very important, but what is more important is the initiative. Whoever takes the initiative will win. The Celestial God Palace is very strong, so naturally I can't beat it. But I don't want to fight those who can't be beaten!"
"What?" Zhuang Shen was stunned.
"Still don't understand?" Tang Zheng sneered: "This is my home, it's my home field, only I can decide who can come in and who can't......! I'm choosing my opponent!"
With a loud roar, Tang Zheng had already slashed down with another sword and thunder.
Three swords in a row, slashing heavily at Zhuang Shen's purple fire sword, actually hit him backwards, shocking his arm sore, but what shocked him even more was Tang Zheng's words.
It's he's choosing his opponent!
It was he who took the initiative!
It was only when Zhuang Shen realized that he was so sure of what Tang Tribulation was, and from the very beginning, he had been grasping the rhythm of things.
The initiative is his, whether to fight or not, and who to fight, that is all up to him!
When he decided to make a move, it was naturally because he had enough certainty of victory!
This realization shocked Zhuang Shen, and at the same time, Tang Zheng had continued to slash at Zhuang Shen one sword after another, and the twelve styles of the vertical sword had been continuously unfolded.
Both of them are just new to the immortal path, and it is not enough to compete purely with spells, so they both chose the same path, that is, to strengthen themselves with spells to fight, and the tactical ideas are extremely practical, which is rare in the entire academy.
This makes their attacks like a battle between masters with sword energy, but with a lot more light and flame colors, and it looks much more gorgeous.
Tang Zheng has a water light cover, a vertical sword twelve styles plus a Tibetan elephant body, and Zhuang Shen is a vitality shield and a fireworks sword plus a purple fire sword, and both of them have practiced martial arts, so the strength of the two sides is comparable.
At this moment, under the attack, only a bang was heard, and the water light shield of Tang Tribulation was broken, and Zhuang Shen's vitality shield also exploded.
Then the two of them were sacrificed with a shield and a shield at the same time, and they fought together again, still in a evenly matched pattern.
"Bastard!" Zhuang Shen hissed.
Reaching into the bag, Zhuang Shen had already taken out an object from the mustard seed bag and threw it into the air, the golden light was shining, it was actually a golden battle armor, which was automatically attached to Zhuang Shen's body.
"Heavenly God Jia? not bad! not bad!" Tang Zheng was not only surprised, but also had a happy smile on his face.
The most famous thing in the Heavenly God Palace is probably this Heavenly God Armor, there are related spells, there are also special magic weapons, magic weapons, known for its strong defense, this Zhuang Shen as a disciple of the Heavenly God Palace arranged to infiltrate the Moon Washing Academy, naturally he can't learn the heart of the Heavenly God Palace, but he brought a Heavenly God Armor magic weapon.
Although it is the lowest level, its defensive ability is only afraid to exceed that of the Yuan Qi Shield.
This is not to say that the Heavenly God Palace is stingy and does not even give Zhuang Shen a magic weapon, but the more advanced the treasure weapon, the greater the consumption of spiritual power required.
At least this artifact-level Heavenly God Armor, Zhuang Shen will not have any problems wearing it on his body.
At this moment, Zhuang Shen's face was already fierce: "Tang Zheng, you don't really think that I only have one sword, right?"
"Of course, I know. To his surprise, Tang Zheng replied: "Since the Heavenly God Palace sent you, you must have some certainty about dealing with me." You and I are both students of the same period, if you don't have a look at the hole cards, why can you win me?
"What?" Zhuang Shen was stunned again.
It's just that in this moment, he has been shocked by Tang Zheng countless times.
Tang Zheng's smiling face finally turned cold: "If you come here without a treasure, why should I pay attention to you? Do you think that I am too idle to take such a big risk, just to kill a pawn of the Heavenly God Palace? No, what I want is for you to come with a treasure! Kill people and seize treasures, kill people and seize treasures...... Killing is not the goal, treasure hunting is. For this battle, I used up more than two bottles of Huiling Pill, spent hundreds of dollars, and stopped practicing spells for more than a month.
Saying that, he pinched the Tang Tribulation Technique, and the next moment, a black shadow had already slammed down on Zhuang Shen!
