Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 231 Decisive Battle at Wolf's Ear Lake
"Judge Xuanguo, are you convinced? If you accept it, you will admit it! If you don't accept it, come and fight! Don't you feel ashamed to stand there?"

Xu Zhiqiong was in a duel with Lagugang, the sixth-rank judge of the Tunu Kingdom, on the Langer Lake.

For this duel, Xu Zhiqiong was very conflicted.

A duel is a contest under the condition that the external conditions are basically the same, and the competition is based on the strength and experience of the two sides.

Both Xu Zhiqiong and La Gugang are at the sixth rank, but Xu Zhiqiong is below the sixth rank, La Gugang is at the sixth rank, La Gugang knows the sixth rank skills, Xu Zhiqiong does not, and Xu Zhiqiong is at the top in terms of strength. at a disadvantage.

Look at the combat experience again.

It has been less than a year since Xu Zhiqiong came to Daxuan Kingdom, and it is impossible for him to have any advantage over a person who has practiced on the way of judges for decades.

In this duel, Xu Zhiqiong's chances of winning are very small.

Moreover, Yongzhou and Luzhou share a criminal punishment department, called the Yonglu punishment department. Xu Zhiqiong is not under the management of the Yonglu punishment department. He is not a judge of this territory, so he should not be involved in this matter.

But this time, Xu Zhiqiong had no choice but to take action, because Tu Nuren bullied his family.

After Tunu's army invaded Yongzhou, the Department of Punishment and Evil of the Southern Imperial Province of Tunu announced that the boundary of Yongzhou belonged to the southern imperial province of Tunu State, and the judges of the Xuan Kingdom were not allowed to harvest crimes in Yongzhou, otherwise it would be a violation of Taoist rules , even if he was beaten to death by Judge Tunu, it would not count as harming his fellow disciples.

This was obviously taking away the livelihood of the big judge, and the Yonglu Punishment Division would definitely not agree. The two sides had several conflicts over this, and the two Punishment Division chiefs, Shi, even had a bloody battle.

The process of the conflict has always been that Yonglu punished the evil company and suffered losses, until Xu Zhiqiong appeared, and the situation changed.

In the past few days, Xu Zhiqiong beat the Tunu judges when he saw them, until they dared not show up in Yongzhou.

The judge of the Southern Imperial Province wanted to lay a black hand on Xu Zhiqiong, but found that Xu Zhiqiong had a third-rank Canglong cultivator and a fourth-rank Onmyoji around him, and they didn't have the guts to do it.

After some deliberation, the judge of the Southern Imperial Province decided to use the internal method of Taoism to solve the problem openly.

They made representations to the Yonglu Punishment Division, asking both parties to send a sixth-grade Zhonglang to a duel. Whoever wins, Yongzhou will belong to him.

Yonglu Punishment Division agreed.

But there is no sixth-grade Zhonglang in Yonglu Punishment Division.

Why did Zhonglang agree to a duel?
Because this is the best choice for Yonglu Punishment Division.

If they don't choose to fight, they will face two major penalties.

Because the southern imperial province is close to the state of Xuan, it is a rich place in the state of Tunu, and there are four sixth-rank Zhonglang in the punishment department.

Because Yongzhou and Luzhou are close to the country of Tunu, they are poor places in Daxuan, and there is not a single sixth-rank middleman in the Department of Punishment and Evil.

If he chooses to fight, Yonglu and the evil division will definitely be doomed.

There is still a glimmer of hope in choosing a duel, and the judges in Yongzhou and Luzhou have made careful arrangements for this.

Their plan is this: to disguise the chief of punishment and evil, Shi Li Muliang (rank five), and let him pretend to be a rank six Zhonglang to fight.

With Li Muliang's integrity and character, he can do things like pretending to be a sixth-rank Zhonglang, without any sense of guilt.

But the main problem now is that Li Muliang was seriously injured in a fierce battle with the Southern Imperial Governor's Punishment Chief Shi last month and has never woken up.

In order to make a living for punishing the criminals, and for the reputation of the judges, the judges gritted their teeth and made a great sacrifice. They decided to risk Chang Shi's life.

They soaked Chang Shi, who punished evil, into the freshly frozen Wolf's Ear Lake, hoping that through the stimulation of the cold, Chang Shi would wake up.

Before doing it, they consulted the opinion of the long history of punishing the evil, and the long history of punishing the evil in a coma expressed acquiescence.

After soaking for a day and a night, Chang Shi did not wake up.

Since the long history of punishing evil has not woken up, the only hope is Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong agreed to the duel under the begging of the judges in Yonglu and Luzhou.

Yongzhou is the land of Da Xuan, and Xuan people have the right to live on their own land.

The judges of Daxuan have the right to survive on their own land.

After the duel started, Xu Zhiqiong has been suffering.

He tried to find the opponent's flaws, but every time Lagugang made a move, it was very strange, not to mention the flaws, Xu Zhiqiong couldn't even judge his intentions.

The sickle cut across Xu Zhiqiong's calf, leaving a bloody gash, and Xu Zhiqiong hissed in pain.

"Come on, judge of Xuanguo, don't be cowardly," Lagugang kept provoking, "Come here and hit me, as long as you hit me once, you will win, my pity, I will let you, do you dare?" Dare to come and fight."

This is nonsense, Xu Zhiqiong hit him more than once, but it has nothing to do with the outcome, Lagugang just wanted to distract Xu Zhiqiong's attention.

There are two key elements that determine the outcome, one is that one party dies, and the other is that one party surrenders.

La Gugang talked endlessly, his hands never idle for a moment, he skillfully stepped on the ice, and quickly slid towards Xu Zhiqiong, the iron chain flew towards Xu Zhiqiong's left leg.

Xu Zhiqiong was not very good at skating, so he could only stagger and dodge, and was almost entangled in the iron chain.

The iron chain in Lagugang's hands can be long or short, with a wide range of attacks and great changes. He is very flexible on the ice and won't let Xu Zhiqiong get close. Opportunity to use, the eighth-rank skill is not as good as Lagugang, the seventh-rank skill is just and useless, and both of them are sixth-rank.

How can this battle be fought?
The iron chain flew towards Xu Zhiqiong's face with the sickle, Xu Zhiqiong dodged the sickle, was pulled by the iron chain, and gritted his teeth in pain.

As soon as Lagu swept across the iron chain, the scythe accurately hit Xu Zhiqiong's back of the head, Xu Zhiqiong leaned over to dodge, the iron chain sank, and hit the back again.

Does this iron chain have a navigation system?

Lagu just shot at will, and he can hit so accurately?
This must be a sixth-grade skill, which allows weapons to attack automatically.

Can I control weapons with the power of imagery?
Xu Zhiqiong took out a dart, stared at Lagugang's throat and hit it, thinking of hitting it in his mind, fantasizing about the dart in Lagugang's throat, and even thought of Lagugang holding his neck , blood gushing expression.

It is conceivable to imagine that this dart missed.

Lagu just looked at the flying dart and said with a smile: "Are you kidding me? My grandson can throw stones more accurately than you!
I said good grandson, don't beat me up, kneel down and kowtow to grandpa, let the group of grandsons behind you let Yongzhou out, and grandpa will spare you!

Don't let grandpa see you from now on. Once I see you, I will kill one of you. Anyway, there are many grandpas and grandchildren, so it doesn't hurt to kill a few! "

While speaking, Lagu just looked at Xu Zhiqiong's ankle, and the iron chain came to Xu Zhiqiong's feet.

There is no need to aim at all, as long as you look at the target, you can always strike accurately.

The chains were about to sweep over his ankles, and if Xu Zhiqiong chose to retreat, there was a sharp sickle waiting for him behind him.

In desperation, Xu Zhiqiong jumped high.

This was a failed move, Xu Zhiqiong shouldn't have jumped so high.

The correct way is to leave your feet slightly off the ground and avoid the iron lock.

Seeing that Xu Zhiqiong was too high off the ground, La Gugang calculated exactly where Xu Zhiqiong landed, and dug a hole in the ice.

If Xu Zhiqiong fell into the ice hole, it would be difficult to get up again. La Gugang only needed to do one thing, stand on the ice and fight the gophers, and hit them as soon as he showed his head.

The judges in Yonglu and Yonglu were all desperate, and after Xu Zhiqiong fell into the water, the duel was over.

They could only pin their hopes on Changshi Li Muliang, put him in the lake for two more days, maybe he could wake up.

Xu Zhiqiong jumped in the air, his figure suddenly disappeared.

La Gugang was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "Did he escape to the Zhonglang Court? If he escapes, you will surrender!"

Zhou Qinglin, the judge of Yongzhou, shouted: "Don't wrong people, his Yilang seal is still with me!"

There are rules in the duel, both parties have to hand over the Zhonglang seal in advance, and put it in someone else's hands for safekeeping, so as to prevent someone from stealing back to Zhonglang's courtyard during the duel.

Zhou Qinglin took out the Yilang seal, but La Gugang laughed at him: "Why are you still using the Yilang seal? Could it be that you didn't even get the Zhonglang seal? This is a young boy who has just been promoted to the sixth rank, and he hasn't made any meritorious deeds yet." After receiving it, you dare to come to me for a duel?"

After laughing, Lagugang was also a little nervous.

Since he didn't go back to Zhonglangyuan, where did he go?

Invisible?

He shouldn't have lasted this long.

If he can really persist for such a long time, it proves that his cultivation is not low.

Lagugang looked around vigilantly, waiting for Xu Zhiqiong to show up at any time.

Some of the judges in the two prefectures of Yonglu quietly returned to the Department of Punishment, preparing to carry out the long history of punishment and throw it into the lake to make another effort.

The other part of the judges complained about Zhou Qinglin: "Look who you found? He ran away halfway through the beating, and we all lost face!"

"Such a person can also be a middle man, no wonder our Taoist sect has fallen!"

Zhou Qinglin gritted his teeth and said: "I trust Xu Zhonglang's character, don't talk nonsense, he is here to help us, you have the ability to gossip here, but don't you have the ability to fight Tu Nu?"

A judge said from the side: "What are you talking about about character? I think this guy has returned to the Zhonglang Court. What kind of Yilang seal did he give you? This is obviously a fake!"

impossible!
Zhou Qinglin looked at the sky, at the place where Xu Zhiqiong disappeared, he didn't believe that Xu Zhiqiong would run away.

Xu Zhiqiong didn't go back to Zhonglangyuan, he jumped into the small black room.

He arranged three magic circles at the fastest speed, two were hidden under his feet, and one was hidden in the palm of his hand.

It's not that there is no hope of winning this battle, the key to victory lies in Xu Zhiqiong's only advantage - his concurrent cultivation of Taoism.

Judging from the attack methods, Lagugang has been using the judge method to launch attacks, and he should not have practiced other sects.

Of course, it is possible for him to hide his clumsiness, but the probability is not high. This guy seems to be careless, and every shot is extremely ruthless. If there are other methods, he can end the battle long ago, there is no need to wait until now.

Xu Zhiqiong has eight levels of Yin-Yang cultivation, which is a huge advantage, but if he wants to use Yin-Yang Art, he must first prepare in advance. In front of the judge, the speed of Yin-Yang Art is too slow.

Moreover, the battle must be ended as soon as possible. If the opponent is on guard, it will be difficult for Xu Zhiqiong to have another chance to make a move.

After setting up the magic circle, Xu Zhiqiong immediately left the small black room, staying here for a moment would consume a lot of energy.

Where did the little black room come in and where did it come out? Xu Zhiqiong still had a hole in the ice under his feet.

Lagu was taken aback for a moment, why did this fellow show up from where he was?

Did he really go to Zhong Lang Yuan?

While in doubt, Xu Zhiqiong activated the first magic circle, with the wind blowing under his feet, he took a few steps forward in the air, avoiding the ice hole under his feet.

Lagu was startled, this guy can fly?

A rank-[-] judge can't fly, so is his cultivation above rank-[-]?
wrong!

If the cultivation base is above the sixth rank, he will not let me live until now.

This is Onmyoji!
This guy also cultivates yin and yang!

Lagugang became tense instantly, and just as Xu Zhiqiong had just landed, the iron chains swept down to his knees again.

Xu Zhiqiong jumped up again, using the second magic circle under his feet, and flew in front of Lagugang.

What a fast Yin Yang technique!

La Gugang was still calm, and he saw some clues from it.

He should have prepared the magic circle in advance with the method of hiding, otherwise the speed of casting the spell would definitely not be so fast!
Since it's the magic circle he prepared, I naturally can't face it head-on. If he wants to fight melee, I will definitely have to deal with it from a long distance.

La Gugang used the eighth-level skill, became invisible, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Xu Zhiqiong's heart shuddered, this guy was too cautious.

Even if he fought him in close combat just now, Xu Zhiqiong was sure to defeat him.

Where will he show up?

Xu Zhiqiong's speed was slightly inferior to the opponent's. If the opponent made a sneak attack, Xu Zhiqiong might not be able to withstand it.

In just two or three breaths, Xu Zhiqiong felt that several hours had passed.

There was ice bursting on the surface of the lake, a judge on the shore exclaimed, and an old crow flew by in the sky. Xu Zhiqiong didn't dare to miss any sound.

When the wind rang behind him, Xu Zhiqiong felt relieved.

Lagugang was not in a hurry to sneak attack, but appeared in the distance and continued to restrain him with chains.

"My dear grandson, you know how to use yin and yang skills. Have you developed your skills? Let's see if you can play a few more tricks. Grandpa will play with you."

Xu Zhiqiong lowered his head, pretending to be annoyed, and directly grabbed the iron chain with his hands.

La Gugang was overjoyed, he really didn't expect Xu Zhiqiong to make such a fatal mistake.

Judge Tunu cheered again and again!

The judges in Yonglu and Luzhou were shocked and speechless, and Zhou Qinglin closed his eyes.

This iron chain must not be grasped, once grasped, it will be tightly wrapped around the arm, and then it will be at the mercy of Lagugang.

Sure enough, the iron chain spun quickly and wrapped tightly around Xu Zhiqiong's arm.

As soon as Lagu pulled the chain, he grinned and said, "My dear grandson, why are you messing with other people's things? Grandpa is not used to you anymore. Come here and kowtow to grandpa!"

Xu Zhiqiong didn't resist, he channeled a wave of yang energy to protect his right arm first, and then activated the palm magic circle, injecting a bolt of lightning into the iron chain.

This time, Xu Zhiqiong put all his energy into action.

Lagugang suddenly felt numb all over his body, his long hair stood on end, and smoke burst out instantly.

He struggled to shake off the iron lock, took two steps back, and stood still with difficulty.

The electric shock was so severe that Lagugang's consciousness was a little blurred.

When he regained consciousness, Xu Zhiqiong was already standing behind La Gugang, grabbing his neck with one hand.

"Good grandson, are you convinced?" Xu Zhiqiong smiled slightly, drained all of La Gugang's strength in an instant, kicked La Gugang's knee, and La Gugang immediately knelt on the ground.

Xu Zhiqiong pressed La Gugang's head to the ground, and shouted at Judge Tunu: "Remember, Grandpa, Yongzhou is the boundary of Daxuan. If you dare to come to Yongzhou one step further, Grandpa will kill the other when he sees it." !"
