An evolutionary game starting from Suolongjing.

Chapter 624: To get involved in a business, you need to have power and background (two in one)

A tiny ice spike exploded between Gan Qi's axe blade. The strong force caused the axe blade to deflect slightly. At the same time, a broken knife with a missing blade had already pierced into the flesh of the dragon along the broken tail end of the evil dragon.

Then it drove straight in, rapidly sucking the blood and flesh of the evil dragon like a whale.

The obese body shrank into a shriveled skeleton in just an instant, and the thriving organs were crushed into minced meat amid the chewing sounds of metal clashing, and then withered into fine powder that floated in the turbulent sea of ​​fire, causing the flames to sway and rise!
The bones that had lost the support of flesh and blood broke into pieces with a crisp sound, and were then swallowed up by the illusory white tiger that had just been camouflaged. The true spirit of the evil dragon was also swallowed into its stomach!
The evil dragon, which looked like a small black snake, was stabbed to death by millions of blades on the back of the knife that mimicked the spine in the belly of the almost transparent white tiger. The sound of countless knives rubbing and turning mixed with the evil dragon's miserable wails, which could not be completely covered up even by the rising sea of ​​fire.

"How dare you!"

A sound like a volcanic eruption came from all directions.

At the same time, the blazing sea of ​​fire suddenly twisted, and a green two-headed flying dragon suddenly soared out from nothingness. On its protruding dragon horns, a grotesque creature with a face and hair as white as snow, two green snakes hanging by its ears, a human-faced bird-like body, had red eyes and was staring at Zhang Ke fiercely.

"I have already given you a lot of convenience. Your various evil deeds of looting, smashing, burning and robbing in Guixu will be forgotten. I have been patient and tolerant, and I have sent you out of the country with courtesy. Is this how you repay my kindness?"

"Even though I don't think much of this thing, it is still made of my blood and essence, and it is my offspring. You killed it by force, and tortured it cruelly in front of me, your father. I think you are deliberately looking for trouble with me!"

Divine man, oh no, to be precise his name should be Xuanming.

Xuan Ming shouted loudly, but the sound waves rolled, blowing the surrounding sea of ​​fire left and right, almost extinguishing it.

However, Zhang Ke on the opposite side just rolled his eyes at him, and used the game panel to forcibly recall the tiger soul that sealed the evil dragon's true spirit to avoid any accidents. Then he slowly said: "Great God Xuanming, you have wronged me. I am the most timid and afraid of things. I didn't know that you, a bird with a human face, could give birth to a dragon. Well, but it is not impossible?"

"It's just that this evil beast claimed to be kind-hearted and generously gave eternal life to my people. I just gave it back in the same way it did to me. How can it be considered torture? This is the gift of eternal life, and it's just given to this beast for nothing!"

Perhaps he did not expect Zhang Ke to be so shameless as to confuse right and wrong, or perhaps he did not expect that the Jiuli family of the Yan tribe, which was always known for being reckless, would actually produce such a weird thing. Xuan Ming opened his eyes wide and did not answer Zhang Ke.

But He was shocked by what Zhang Ke said about himself.

Zhang Ke, who only got his principal back, did not want to let the matter go.

"Having said that, cannibalism is a serious crime. In my Nine Provinces, the best outcome for a cannibal is to have his soul torn to pieces. Now I am going against my conscience to save his soul, which is against the law of heaven. How can the great god repay kindness with hatred and hold a grudge against me?"

Maybe Zhang Ke is not smart, but he was born and raised in later times, so he is very familiar with how to satirize people. Sarcasm is not even his best trick. Holding the household registration book and scolding is his ultimate trick as a horse hunter.

But after all, they are decent people, and there is a group of wicked old men who have left a strong psychological shadow on Zhang Ke in advance. It is better to say less about elegant words.

Unless absolutely necessary.

"In that case, I would like to thank Emperor You!"

Xuan Ming took a deep breath and suppressed the murderous intent in his heart. He spoke to Zhang Ke in a gentle tone, "I didn't know this evil creature would do such a wicked thing behind my back. Please, Emperor You, hand him over to me. I will punish him severely afterwards to atone for his sins!"

"Why does this sound so familiar to me!"

Smacking his lips, Zhang Ke pulled out the long-forgotten Buddha from the pile of broken bodies at his waist: "What do you think, Buddha?"

"Poor monk?"

Looking at Xuan Ming who was squinting across from him, and then looking back at Zhang Ke who was smiling but not really smiling, the Buddha pondered for a moment, and finally nodded sincerely: "This is what the disciples of Lingshan said a lot during the Journey to the West. The Venerable Guanyin once helped the goldfish monster escape a disaster in the name of punishment. The emperor is familiar with the records, so it naturally sounds familiar to him!"

"Oh, I see. But Lingshan can save the world. Even butchers and prisoners can put down their knives and become Buddhas. Why is it so difficult to tame a few animals?"

"Emperor You is wonderful! They are said to be beasts, so how can they understand human speech? If they don't understand human speech, they naturally can't read Buddhist scriptures or understand Buddhist principles. In this regard, whether it is Lingshan or Taoism, if they don't use strict rules to discipline them, the effect will be almost zero!"

"That's true. I have long suggested that these beasts should be exterminated. After all, there are so many species in the world, and there are plenty of jobs that they can't do. Are they willing to do it? But those old men always think I am too extreme and are unwilling to accept it!"

"Perhaps the emperors have not seen through the evil ambitions of these beasts and still have hope. Emperor You, please be patient and wait. Maybe there will be a turning point soon?"

"Haha, it would have been nice if you had said that back then. OK, I'll take your advice and wait a little longer!"

Choose the lesser of two evils.

Compared to Xuanming who was eyeing him covetously, the one who impressed the Buddha more was undoubtedly Zhang Ke.

In the original conflict between the two, this thing almost destroyed Lingshan. The Buddha didn't dare to think that if he went against the meaning of this thing this time and let it remember it in his heart, whether he would still have a chance to survive when he returned to Lingshan later.

Don’t disbelieve it, the Buddha believes that Zhang Ke can do this!

Even though Lingshan is now protected by the Emperor and Xuanzang is there to preach the Dharma, such a huge Lingshan is indeed slowly transforming towards the needs of Jiuzhou under the control of Heaven. However, this does not affect Zhang Ke's evil deeds and his disregard for the majesty of Heaven.

After all, the former went against the will of heaven and earth and did countless terrible things, but until today, no one has taken the initiative to argue with him about right and wrong.

Those things that other immortals consider serious enough to cause them to be torn apart, traded in immortal books, or thrown into the cycle of reincarnation are, to Zhang Ke, no more than a few slaps on the back of the head. With such a lack of restraint, how can you make him believe that Zhang Ke will not retaliate?

That's even more outrageous than a dog changing its nature to eat shit.

In this way, the Buddha had no choice but to be forced to tell lies with his eyes open. Well, it can't be said to be completely lies. Although Journey to the West was fabricated by later generations, it is a true record of Jin Chanzi's journey to the west to seek the true scriptures, under the guidance of Lingshan.

Although some artistic processing is inevitable, most of the records are true.

It's not even just Guanyin's goldfish monster. The mounts that work under the Buddhas are all alien species, and most of them have violent and difficult to tame temperaments!
As recorded in Journey to the West, it is common for them to pretend to obey and secretly find work to do, but whenever they are outside, they can easily do cannibalistic things if you are not careful.

No matter whether it is ferocious beasts like lions, white elephants, and rocs; or stupid creatures like cows, horses, deer mice, or even goldfish that can only act cute, no matter how well-behaved and docile they behave on weekdays, they will find ways to cause trouble for Lingshan when no one is watching.

The reason for this, apart from releasing the greedy and gluttonous nature of wild beasts and demons, is something that only the Buddhas of Lingshan know about at a deeper level.

But on the surface, Lingshan explained to the outside world that most of those moral people were accepted into the Heavenly Court. Lingshan did not want bad people to practice, but also had the intention of saving the world, so he took these wild and unruly demons under his command and trained them.

As the saying goes, a dog can never change his eating habits.
It is not difficult to understand that demons and monsters occasionally reveal their true nature before they become Buddhas. This shows that Lingshan’s education is good. Putting aside the number, at least they have changed from eating meat every day to eating meat only once every few hundred or even thousand years.
Thus, in almost every cycle, at least one tenth of the merit collected by Lingshan is spent on cleaning up these unfortunate things. This is because Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is there, and he can properly settle many mortals who have suffered disasters in a convenient location, giving them a good place to go in their next life with merit, without them having to wander around in the underworld.
Just as Zhang Ke was joking with the Buddha, Xuan Ming's snow-white bird head with a hint of azure was turning red and shiny at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The clouds rising above His head proved that His heart was not as calm as His outward appearance.

Any normal person would not be able to tolerate someone being sarcastic in front of him. What's more, the wilderness does not have the orderly rules of later generations. Fighting and killing is the norm in this world.

But the words came back again.

Even though Xuanming, who was hiding in the depths of Guixu and was in harmony with heaven and earth, was slightly affected by the previous turmoil and rupture of Guixu, but considering His essence, this little internal injury was nothing and could be healed quickly by the natural pulsation of blood.

Now in the eyes of Xuan Ming, who is in a complete state, Zhang Ke’s strength, which has grown greatly compared to the last time they met, did surprise him, but it was not enough to make him feel fear.

It's a very simple truth. For these wild and sacred beings, or even the so-called divine beings from outside worlds, their essence is constantly accumulated and added to with the changes of time in their long lives. Exercise and practice only play an accelerating role. Even if they do nothing, their strength will still increase day by day, and their strength will rise with the tide.

What's more, although Zhang Ke is a genius, who among the people in the wilderness is not a genius unparalleled in the world?
Even the soldiers of heaven were once unique talents rarely seen in a century in a realm. They were blessed with destiny and were extremely intelligent!
And when the target is placed on these ancient gods of the wilderness, everything will only become more exaggerated.

genius?

Genius is just the threshold to meet me!
Emperor You is extremely talented and grows at an amazing pace, which is amazing, but he ultimately suffers from his age. Just based on external observation, Xuan Ming is 90% sure that he can take him down before Gan Qi can take effect.

As for whether to kill or let go later, that depends on the situation!
Anyway, the revenge for killing a son will not be let go so easily.

The reason why I kept listening to these two guys' nonsense was that I was waiting for the crack in Guixu that was previously split by Zhang Ke to be healed, and at the same time to strengthen the stability of the space to prevent the situation inside Guixu from being leaked and allowing the outside world to hear everything.

Secondly, no matter how confident Xuan Ming was that he could take down Zhang Ke, as one of the ancient gods of the wilderness, he still had indelible memories of Chi You and Xing Tian, ​​who had wreaked havoc in the wilderness. If he did not move, he would definitely take down this evil beast, and would never give Di You any chance to react or struggle!!!
Ok?
At this moment, Zhang Ke, who was bargaining with the game, was caught off guard as he looked at the numbers that suddenly increased on his retina. The seven-digit number that had been negotiated had now jumped to eight digits. Even the end of the number arrangement was changing at a dizzying speed, with no intention of stopping at all.

"It's just opening a door, is this necessary?"

Zhang Ke looked at his rapidly shrinking inventory with heartache.

Zhang Ke, who had not participated in many game copies since he emptied his wallet last time, naturally did not make much money from the universal currency. After purchasing the teleportation service and some miscellaneous value-added services, his wallet was almost empty.

But there is no way, some things can be omitted, but some things cannot be saved.

Due to the restlessness of his own destiny and Zhang Ke's comfort to the remaining souls, he did not want to break his promise and flee in a hurry.

Since you are doing it, do the full set!

But Xuan Ming's guess was right. Under the current restrictions of Kunlun's elixir, Zhang Ke, who was forced to seal some of his methods, indeed lacked competitiveness with the opponent. The situation that was originally a slight break from injury became extremely bad.

Now if he wants to trade injury for time, it all depends on the situation being on track with the plan. If there is any mistake in the early stage, he won't be able to hold on until his full strength period and will be easily defeated.

If an ordinary person encountered this situation where the timing, location and people were not favorable to him, he would easily accept the olive branch extended by Xuanming. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would smile and leave it to be settled one by one in the future.

But Zhang Ke is different. As the fourth disaster, he has more options to improve his competitiveness.

It's nothing more than spending money, spending as needed and building as needed. Anyway, he has opened up so many foreign territories. In addition to the basic gains in the material plane, a large number of by-products of foreign civilizations have also been collected and stored by him.

And when all the bits and pieces, regardless of good or bad, were exchanged through the game store in a manner almost like a clearance sale, a huge amount of chalcedony was filled into Zhang Ke's personal account, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a torrent rushing into the page hanging on Zhang Ke's retina.

As the two parties, with ulterior motives, were sneaky and tolerant of each other, time passed by minute by minute.

Not to mention what the environment outside Guixu had become because of Zhang Ke's long stay, but Xuanming, who had been silently enduring Zhang Ke and the Buddha's quick questions and answers, and almost the entire family tree was exposed to the public, finally showed a smile on his icy face.

Then, the look he gave Zhang Ke gradually became indifferent and contemptuous: "Have you said enough? It's my turn now!"

Time allowed Him to deal with his own problems, but at the same time, it also made Xuan Ming completely murderous towards Zhang Ke. Using the most vicious words that He had ever heard of, He had already sentenced Zhang Ke to death from the bottom of his heart!

As for the human kings who are now surrounding Guixu, He no longer wants to think about them.

What He failed to accomplish last time, He wants to let the human race experience this time! At worst, He can continue to hide in Guixu after He is done. Unless the human race is determined to overthrow the wilderness, no one can catch Xuanming and judge him in His own territory.

King of men?

Even the Human King can’t do that!
"It's your turn. What's your turn? I'll give you face and call you the Great God Xuanming. If I don't give you face, you're just a piece of shit and keep chirping here!"

"Considering that the wilderness is well-ordered and you are diligent, I will be merciful. If you hand over a hundred or so bloodlines, I will pack them up and take them away. Then I won't bother you. But if you don't respect me, don't say I didn't warn you!"

Seeing Zhang Ke also raised his head after he said that and looked at him arrogantly, Xuan Ming, who had been maintaining a cold and gloomy expression, couldn't help but laugh.

It was hard for him to understand where the confidence of this thing in front of him came from.

That is to say, Xuanming is not a villain by nature. Although he plotted against Di Jun and Guixu prepared to assassinate Di You, he is still a righteous god after all. Everything he said is just to avenge a previous attack!
In this way, Xuan Ming did not act like the main villain in the drama, who, after gaining the upper hand, would still bully the protagonists, fearing that the other party would not find a chance to turn the tables.

As Xuanming gently moved his hands forward, a series of roars suddenly sounded in Guixu!

That was the explosion caused by energy being stirred, and the angry roar of the Lord of the North Sea!

The Guixu, which was originally colorful and brilliant, became monotonous and pure at a speed visible to the naked eye. The dark color was rapidly converging from all directions towards the area where Zhang Ke was. Wherever it passed, coldness spread, and the clicking sound of frozen ice crystals was endless.

A feeling of depression and despair suddenly surged into the hearts of all living beings.

That was completely different from the scorching heat of fire; it was the betrayal of the master that one had always believed in and respected, and the unwillingness to die together with him.

To put it bluntly, although Xuanming has mastered the right of passage to Guixu and has regarded this wild and desolate end-of-the-world place as his own lair, he does not have the authority to completely turn Guixu into his own. Perhaps he has been making attempts at related levels long ago, but at least he is still far from successful.

Since he cannot be a complete master, he cannot be completely loyal either.

However, the creatures in Guixu are not as completely independent as the creatures in the material world. Their wisdom and abilities are still a threat to the materials and other beings that have drifted here, but they are not as powerful as Xuanming who has already gotten used to everything in Guixu.
The so-called desperate resistance was nothing more than something that Xuan Ming could resolve with just a stretch of his hand.

The howling cold wind blew even more fiercely, and wherever it passed, twisted and desperate ice sculptures stood out.

As the center of the cold wave, there was no escape route left for Zhang Ke, and he himself did not think about escaping. He even had no desire to resist the surging cold wave.

With a faint smile on his face from beginning to end, he looked at Xuan Ming opposite him and said softly: "Old man, this is no longer your era, you are out of date!"

"To get involved in this world, you need power and background. You couldn't even gather a few brothers from Tianzhisi to deal with me in the wilderness. Do you think you can turn things around and call the shots in Guixu?"

"I don't want to waste my time talking to you. The children's playfulness is over. It's time for the adults!"

Looking at the number returning to zero on his retina and the service page that lit up in an instant, Zhang Ke even took out the Tiger Soul stored in the prop bar with interest and temporarily stopped torturing the evil dragon.

Looking at the evil dragon that was no longer as arrogant as before, he said, "Watch out, I will only teach you once!"

"Teacher, save me!"

"rub!"

"Boom!"

One before and one after, one crisp and one dull sound suddenly exploded in the howling cold wind of Guixu.

The former was the sound of the blade cutting through space when the Tiger Soul in his hand was forcibly taken away; the latter was the sound made by a slap on the back of Zhang Ke's head.

At the same time, the pitch-black cold wave was blocked by an invisible force, and in Xuan Ming's astonished and Zhang Ke's understanding eyes, the space in front of him suddenly twisted, and a murderous and brutal aura suddenly began to expand!

And in the scarlet that suddenly bloomed like fire, a steady figure was looming.

Zhang Ke would never be so stupid as to fight hard, knowing that it was a fight that would risk his life. Although he had relied on the convenience given by the game to commit crimes in many worlds, making countless worlds feel disgusted when they heard the name of Emperor You, the area where Zhang Ke was best at was still bullying!
The so-called Guixu is not worth mentioning at all in front of the profiteer game that dares to sell anything, and it even becomes an excellent cover for Zhang Ke.

There was not much pause. The violent light and shadow only briefly dispelled the surrounding cold wave before suddenly dissipating. Instead, there was a burly figure wearing heavy armor and with two sharp horns on his helmet winding towards the sky.

The moment he appeared, the entire Guixu was filled with noisy sounds, and chaotic energy was beating wildly like the ocean under a storm.

That is the fear of Guixu, the deepest remaining fear among the countless dead who have perished here over countless years.

They are afraid, they are terrified!
Under the influence of this tide, even Guixu could not avoid an emotion called despair!

In this chaotic situation, everything was out of Xuanming's control. The originally gathered energy fled in all directions, and the mount under his feet became restless and uneasy. All visible and invisible things were trying to stay away from this area as much as possible, away from that scorching gaze.

"Chiyou."
