Fu Shifeng

Chapter 124
Cheng Sanwu lay on the ground and slowly opened his eyes. The rock formation above the cave was blown up and shattered by the beam of light, piercing through it together with the clouds in the sky.Now the rays of light dissipate, revealing a large expanse of transparent blue sky, which makes people feel refreshed just by looking at it.

Holding himself up with difficulty, Cheng Sanwu felt extremely tired all over his body, and his limbs were weak, like a sick person who had been lying in bed for many days, trying to get up and get out of bed, but his hands and feet couldn't move.

"Damn, I'm so exhausted." Cheng Sanwu cursed, still gritted his teeth and turned over to stand up, looking up, the huge black rock had disappeared, leaving only a piece of cracked rubble, some of which turned crystal clear and red.

Cheng Sanwu picked it up and looked at it. These red crushed stones were lighter in color than cinnabar, more transparent than jade, and not as cold and brittle as colored glaze. Instead, they felt warm and fresh when touched, as if they were alive.

"Danyu?" Cheng Sanwu laughed. He had seen this kind of mineral in the Western Regions, but he didn't expect that there was a large piece of Danyu inside the huge black rock.

After taking back the evil blood of Taotie, the huge black cloud rock was naturally destroyed, and the huge vitality that had been accumulated for a long time was dispersed by Cheng Sanwu to the Fangyuan Heaven and Earth, not only turned into a sky-rocketing brilliance, but also the Fangyuan Land Leys were also enriched, like a river bed that had been dry for many years, filled with flowing water.

Even if the gluttonous evil blood is one with him, this move is still very difficult.Especially at the moment when a huge amount of vitality was scattered back to the world, the impact that Cheng Sanwu had to face was enough to destroy mountains and broken mountains. Compared with the violent attack of the Zhangliu gluttonous beast, it was just a breeze blowing on the face.

Throwing Danyu away casually, Cheng Sanwu stood up staggeringly, dizzy for a while, followed by a strong sense of hunger.

"You are so generous, you just threw away all your savings?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, Cheng Sanwu suddenly raised his head, and saw another self standing in the pile of rubble, looking around mockingly.

Cheng Sanwu was shocked, and immediately drew his sword and slashed horizontally. The light of the flame flowed in a circle, and the power was so strong that it rolled up a wave of flying sand and dust. Even if the Zhang Liutao beast came back from the dead, it would probably be cut in half by this sword.

However, with such a powerful attack, there was nothing to be gained. The blade slashed across the other self without the slightest touch, not even a trace of light and shadow disturbance.

You must know that even though Pang Yanjin's ghost-like dharma protector would still be injured by the stellar qi blade, the other self was unscathed, more illusory than an illusion.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" The other self kept smiling, crossed his hands in salute, and said, "It's rare to see each other outside of the dream world. Let me introduce myself—I'm a glutton, and I will teach you a lot in the future."

Before finishing his words, Cheng Sanwu slashed wildly with his saber, and suddenly the flames flowed like a turbulent waterfall. Wherever the saber glowed, there were dozens of slash marks on the ground out of thin air.

However, the Yanliu Daomang passed through Taotie's body in such a smooth manner, unable to hurt him at all.

"Hehehe, frankly speaking, your current martial arts are much worse than in the dream." Taotie clapped his palms and smiled, "If I were you, I wouldn't waste my energy. The me at this moment is just a phantom that only you can see, your knife is useless no matter how fast or sharp it is."

After the chopping, Cheng Sanwu stood with the knife in his hand, gasping for breath, with a look of surprise and anger on his face.Taotie took the initiative to take a few steps forward, Cheng Sanwu immediately jumped back, looking on guard.

"You..." Taotie stopped in his tracks, looked at Cheng Sanwu with a little curiosity, suddenly showed a sly smile, put his hand on his chest, and said word by word: "You, scared, afraid."

It was obviously like a whisper in the ear, but at this moment, it was like a Huang Zhong's shock, resounding through the mind, shocking and inexplicable.Cheng Sanwu yelled angrily at the broken heart, swiped the knife and slashed again, the light of the Yanliu knife was stronger than the wave, but it was still useless.

"Interesting, it turns out that you are also afraid." Taotie laughed softly in the light of the scorching knife: "I used to think that your emotions that you showed were deliberately disguising. Now it seems that after being a mortal for decades, you have really become like a mortal."

Cheng Sanwu threw out his knives one after another, his breath was short for a while, and the fatigue accumulated earlier came together, the offensive stopped immediately, he kneeled on the knives to pant, his face turned red and white alternately.

"I've said it all, it's useless." Taotie came closer, bent over, put his hands on his knees, as if looking at a kitten or puppy: "You don't have to be afraid, I'm the only one in the world who won't harm you."

Cheng Sanwu lowered his head, didn't say a word, and even tried his best to avoid meeting the other party's eyes.

Taotie sighed lightly: "Forcibly absorbing blood, but abandoning the pure vitality that has been accumulated for many years, doing so is destined to make the balance between you and me unsustainable. My appearance in front of you is a sign of imbalance, you should understand it?"

Cheng Sanwu remained silent and quickly calmed down.Seeing this, Taotie said: "Have you ever thought that I was never the cause of your current situation. Fu Shifeng and his group were smart enough to forcibly distinguish you from me. I don't care. Anyway, in the past nearly a thousand years, most of the time you were sealed in various places in the earth's leylines and never saw the light of day. But what about you?
"A person who has to shoulder enormous responsibilities for no reason, like a lowly prison guard, stays in the same place with prisoners all day long. I really don't know who is more miserable. Fu Shifeng never asked you if you are willing to take on this responsibility. When you experienced all kinds of hardships and setbacks, Fu Shifeng did not show up to rescue you.

"You have persisted for many years, but you have not received any rewards or rewards. What does Fu Shifeng think of you? Even livestock in captivity must be fed with fodder, and servants who sweat and sweat must have food and clothing. But you have nothing, and they take everything you have paid for it for granted."

Cheng Sanwu's hand holding the knife was clenched more and more, his face was bluish black and his eyes were red as he suppressed the anger, as if the flames that would destroy the sky and the earth were about to erupt in the next moment.

"Don't forget that I didn't take advantage of others when you took away your strength to deal with powerful enemies a few times before." Taotie walked slowly around Cheng Sanwu, his tone like an elder who had experienced the world for a long time, seductive: "I understand, you think I am the number one disaster in the world, and I don't deny it. After all, when I was walking in this world, the earth was still boiling with magma, stars fell from the sky from time to time, and the dragons were just shivering loaches.

"As for the so-called human world? In my opinion, it is a group of insects lying on my body and sucking blood. You have also seen this land of danyu. Guess where this kind of thing came from?"

Cheng Sanwu opened his eyes, and Taotie leaned over to his ear, with a penetrating voice: "That's right, that's my blood, and it's yours too."

Hearing this, Cheng Sanwu's face almost completely melted into the shadows. Taotie seemed a little pleased, and continued, "Fu Shifeng probably didn't tell you these words, did he? Do you know why from Zulong to Wen Bangzheng, they used the skills of the Nine Dragons to deal with you and me? A long time ago, these loaches swarmed me when I was weakest, tore me into pieces, and then used themselves as a seal to make me lose my freedom.

"However, they are dense and sparse. I have a little remaining strength. When I broke free from the shackles thousands of years ago, I happened to meet the Jinyun clan who was exiled. This group of mortals was besieged by chi demons.

"How? This time I will tell you frankly, but I have given enough sincerity."

Cheng Sanwu's jaw twitched and his cheeks twitched. He couldn't tell whether it was anger or fear. He seemed to be physically and mentally exhausted, so he simply lay down on the ground.

"Forget it, it's really too early to tell you these things now." Taotie shook his head helplessly: "But I'm thinking, you've been deliberately making things bigger all this way, what exactly are you trying to do? Don't tell me you're doing it on a whim."

Cheng Sanwu closed his eyes, remained silent, got rid of distracting thoughts, concentrated on adjusting his breath, and let Taotie talk to himself: "You shouldn't have known that there was blood left by me here in advance, and it was entirely because you changed your purpose midway after seeing the lamb. But this can't explain all the previous actions. Just having a conflict with the Shuofang army is different from your previous style.

"You should have expected that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would send other people to follow, so since you rescued Wei Ying, you broke the secret rules of the embroidered emissary one after another, deliberately made a big fanfare, and often pushed the situation to extremes, and did not hesitate to cause massacres, just to force the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to show up and take action, right?"

During Taotie's silence, his figure changed into Afu's appearance, and even his voice changed: "Are you solving trouble for a dominatrix?"

Hearing Afu's voice, Cheng Sanwu immediately opened his eyes, seeing Taotie's change of description, he seemed slightly dissatisfied, and frowned.

"Why, don't you like it?" Taotie looked at Afu and meditated: "No, you are not an inexperienced virgin, so you won't be fascinated by dominatrixes. I even suspect that you have been getting close to dominatrixes on purpose since the Western Regions. After arriving in Chang'an, you pretended not to join the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but you have always been in close contact with dominatrixes. Are you playing hard to get?"

Cheng Sanwu closed his eyes again, Taotie saw him like this, and returned to his original face: "I understand, you planned to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs from the very beginning... Hehehehe, your real purpose is to use the Great Xia court to deal with Fu Shifeng, right?"

"How do you know that I'm not going to use the Great Xia court to deal with you?" Cheng Sanwu finally spoke, with a cold tone.

"Okay, you can come anyway." Tao Tie was not at all unhappy, and changed the topic: "But I didn't expect that you would find another way to deal with Fu Shifeng. This trip to Shuofang, you kept causing trouble, showing off your power, and even drove yourself to a dead end, just to lure Fu Shifeng's people to show up?"

"I can deal with them without you." Cheng Sanwu said: "Although I don't know where they are, I must always pay attention to my movements."

"When did you understand this?" Taotie asked curiously.

"After I wiped out Sun's family in Heyang back then, it was bizarre enough that I was able to pass through Guanzhong and escape to the Western Regions without incident." Cheng Sanwu said, "And that horse, I'm sure, is Fu Shifeng's eyes and ears planted by my side."

Tao Tie raised his eyebrows slightly: "But I see that you get along very well with that horse, and you can tell it what's on your mind."

"I'm giving it a chance." Cheng Sanwu's tone gradually became cold: "If it is sensible and will take the initiative to surrender in the future, you can save its life."

"Look, you are getting more and more tolerant to do big things." Taotie was quite satisfied: "At least we are on the same page when it comes to dealing with Fu Shifeng."

"You are you, and I am me." Cheng Sanwu finished adjusting his breath, sat up and put his arms on his knees: "I will repay the pain that Fu Shifeng inflicted on me a thousandfold!"

Taotie smiled and said: "I would like to advise you, Fu Shifeng has been able to suppress me for so many years, and it is not for nothing. Even if you leave no room and use all your strength, you may not be able to defeat them. Don't think that killing Anguti with three punches is enough. There are many old monsters in Fu Shifeng, let alone Wen Bangzheng. If you really want to beat us back to our original form and seal them again, it is not impossible."

"That's why I want to join the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Cheng Sanwu said: "The best thing is to provoke a conflict between Fu Shifeng and the Great Xia court."

"Your intentions are really vicious, quite similar to what I used to be." Taotie chuckled, and continued: "But what you are doing now feels more like asking for trouble for the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Whether it's a trouble or a chance, it depends on that Eunuch Feng's vision and heart." Cheng Sanwu said: "Mrs. Liu is investigating Shuofang Jiedushi, this kind of thing can't be done without authorization. If what Pang Yanjin said is true, then she plans to make a big fuss about the monster in Yanchi, so that she can take the opportunity to bring down Yang Taichu, so that she can know the true intention of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

During the conversation, several gluttonous family members came to spy nearby. Since the underground cave and the upper floor were blown away in one fell swoop, they were hiding behind countless broken rocks and mounds, and they were careful not to go forward easily.

Cheng Sanwu raised his eyes, and saw several gluttonous family members bravely stepped forward, and then thousands of them gathered one after another, bowing down to Cheng Sanwu one after another.

"The lambs have found their ancestors." Taotie laughed.

Cheng Sanwu didn't bother to reply, but he was keenly aware of the sound of the horse's hooves approaching, so he immediately got up and put away his knife, walked through the group of relatives, and came to a high place outside.

At this time, on the flat wilderness where the snow was gradually melting, three riders came, and they were Zhang Fan and the three.They saw a crowd of goat hooves bowing down to Cheng, they reined in their horses in astonishment, not daring to approach.

Cheng Sanwu opened his mouth and asked, "Who sent you here? Yang Taichu?"

There were countless questions in Zhang Fan's stomach that urgently needed to be answered, but facing Cheng Sanwu's questioning, he lost all his usual momentum and replied, "No, it's Lord Zhaoyang from Gongchenwei of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Gongchenwei, Lord Zhaoyang?" Cheng Sanwu paused slightly, noncommittal: "He brought a lot of people?"

"Shuofang's three thousand soldiers will arrive later." Zhang Fan hurriedly asked, "Where is Guanzhu Pang? What happened here? You..."

"Pang Yanjin is dead, and Yanchi Yaoyong was the mastermind behind the scenes." Cheng Sanwu interrupted Zhang Fan's questioning: "Also, Mrs. Liu's family was also killed by Pang Yanjin. This person did not kill with fists and kicks, but with the Dharma Protector."

The three of Zhang Fan changed their colors when they heard the words, they hadn't fully cleared their minds yet, Cheng Sanwu asked again: "Mr. Zhaoyang mobilized the army to come, could it be that he wanted to kill me?"
