Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 579 Zhang Zhiwei's combat capability, the terrifying value of Senior Brother Zhang
A giant furry hand came over the top with a rumbling sound.

Lu Ci's Qi sank into his Dantian, and a huge tiger-leopard thundering sound erupted from his body. He used the force of a king lifting a tripod to forcibly block the slap from the "national teacher".

"boom!"

As soon as the two sides came into contact, blood gushed out and the horrifying sound of bones cracking was heard. The "National Master"'s big palm came down from the sky and hit Lu Ci's forehead hard.

Lu Ci was crushed so hard that blood gushed out of all his orifices. All the bones in his body were shattered, and his entire head was almost beaten into his stomach, leaving only half of his crown exposed.

Death was approaching like a premonition. Lu Ci clenched his teeth. Perhaps his teeth had been shattered because he could not feel it.

But suddenly, he felt a sour feeling in his teeth. He still had teeth and he still had a mouth.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

He roared with the last of his strength.

Then, he opened his eyes abruptly, suddenly awakened, all the pores on his body opened, cold sweat broke out all at once, and he fell on his back as if he had collapsed.

Someone held him up.

He was still sitting beside the Luxi River, with his legs crossed, and Lu Jin was sitting next to him.

"How is it?" Lu Jin asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Ci was breathing heavily, his whole body was wet and limp, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Compared to the physical weakness, the mental pain is more uncomfortable.

This painful feeling reminded Lu Ci of the scene a long time ago when his elders took him to eat monkey brains.

He seemed to have become that poor monkey, whose skull was knocked off with a chisel and then filled with a bucket of boiling hot oil. The hot oil boiled in his brain, making a "sizzling" sound and causing pain deep in his soul.

The horrifying pain came in waves. Even though Lu Ci had amazing willpower, he could not hold on. He rolled over on the river bank holding his head in pain. His body twisted like a maggot. He decided to never compete with Senior Brother Zhang again.

"what happened?!"

Lu Jin who was standing next to him stared at the scene in amazement. He even saw Lu Ci crying with tears streaming down his face.

This shocked him greatly. Lu Ci had been a ruthless person since he was a child. He was not only ruthless to others, but also to himself. He had never seen Lu Ci look so embarrassed.

He quickly helped the tumbling Lu Ci up, held him down with great effort, then placed his hands on his head and used some methods to calm his mind.

Although the Sanyi Sect is difficult to reach, it has been known as a mysterious sect for hundreds of years, so it naturally has abilities similar to the Purifying Heart Mantra.

With Lu Jin's help, the extreme pain slowly subsided, and Lu Ci's complexion began to calm down, but it was still pale.

"Hedgehog, what exactly did you experience in the inner scene?" Lu Jin asked anxiously.

Lu Ci looked at Lu Jin helplessly, and after a long silence, he said tiredly:
"I had a competition with Senior Brother Zhang's inner demon, and it hurt my mind."

"You're mentally hurt?" Lu Jin asked in confusion, "The hall space is a spiritual world. Even if you die, it's just a nightmare. How did you get yourself into this state?"

"Because too many people died," said Lu Ci.

"How many times have you died?" Lu Jin asked.

"How long have I been in meditation?" Lu Ci asked.

"Probably about an incense stick of time." Lu Jin said.

Lu Ci thought for a moment and said, "During the time of about this stick of incense, I fought with Senior Brother Zhang's inner demon for about thirty rounds, and ended it with a slap on the head that slammed into the body."

"A big-eared idiot slams his head into his body..." Thinking of that scene, Lu Jin couldn't help but clench his teeth and said with a grin:

"As expected of Senior Brother Zhang's inner demon, he is so ruthless when he attacks!"

"But you were able to fight Brother Zhang's inner demon for thirty rounds?"

Lu Jin looked at Lu Ci with a questioning look on his face. Even if it was an inner demon, it was Senior Brother Zhang's inner demon. He believed that Lu Ci could fight for a few rounds, but more than thirty rounds was really exaggerated. He found it hard to believe.

Lu Ci glanced at Lu Jin unhappily and said:
"One death counts as one round."

"........."

Lu Jin suddenly realized: "That is to say, you died more than thirty times. This makes sense. No wonder you are so exhausted and in so much pain."

Immediately, he asked again: "How many moves can you make in each round?"

Lu Ci was not a respectable person, and did not pursue those empty respects. He said bluntly:
"In these thirty matches, I was killed in one move in the first twenty-eight. In the last two matches, I found some feeling and was able to last two moves, but only two moves."

"The strength of Senior Brother Zhang's inner demon in the inner scene is based on my limit. In other words, theoretically speaking, our strength is the same."

With the same strength, the hedgehog could only withstand one move, and died nearly thirty times before he was finally able to withstand two moves... Lu Jin just felt dizzy. Lu Ci and he were on par with each other. Even if there was a gap, it was extremely small. In other words, if he took over, the result would probably be almost the same.

Lu Ci continued to talk about his experience of this competition: "Before, I always thought that Senior Brother Zhang had an extraordinary understanding and a high level of cultivation. He overwhelmed others with force, so he could defeat anyone with one move."

"Now it seems that what he did was outrageous. Senior Brother Zhang not only has incredible cultivation, but his actual combat skills are even more incredible. The value of that move is really too high."

"In other words, the value of each move is very high, and it is worth our thousands of challenges and thousands of attempts to figure it out. Moreover... Senior Brother Zhang's inner demon is far inferior to Senior Brother Zhang's."

After saying this, he took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and concluded:
“Although my cultivation has not improved significantly, and although I was beaten badly, I am sure that if the current me met the previous me, I would be able to defeat him in ten moves.”

"Old Lu, you understand what I mean, don't you? Even though I'm in such a miserable state now, it will only take two or three moves for me to take you down and kill you."

You just brag... Lu Jin glanced at him, too lazy to refute, and said:
"Hedgehog, you come to protect me. This time, it's my turn."

Although Lu Ci's experience was terrible, the more terrible it was, the greater the improvement would be.

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything," Lu Ci said, "but I want to remind you, when facing the other party, don't be impatient and show enough respect."

Although he and Lu Jin's family often disliked each other and often had conflicts, that only happened in small matters.

If they encounter any situation, they can trust each other. On this kind of issue, Lu Ci will not trick Lu Jin by letting him enter the inner scene to provoke the "National Master" and then be beaten out.

Lu Jin nodded seriously, "That should be the case. He has saved our lives time and again. Even if it is Senior Brother Zhang's inner demon, we should give him enough respect."

After saying this, he sat cross-legged in meditation, entered the inner scene, and respectfully went to pay homage to the "State Master".

After about an incense stick of time, Lu Jin also opened his eyes. His situation was similar to Lu Ci's before. He rolled on the ground in pain.

In order to ease the pain, he even entered a reverse life state, but he never expected that the pain did not subside at all, but became more and more intense.

Reverse Life can heal physical pain, but it has no effect on mental damage. In fact, maintaining Reverse Life may damage the mind and make the pain worse.

Lu Jin quickly released his reincarnation and stayed still for a long time before coming to his senses. He lay powerlessly on the ground, looking up to the sky and laughing:
"It feels so good. It feels so damn good!"

"What's the result?" Lu Ci asked.

"Thirty rounds, about the same as you!" Lu Jin replied.

In fact, he is slightly worse than Lu Ci.

Lu Ci is an extraordinary person who is skilled in manipulating the power of force.

And he relied on his reverse state to overpower others.

When the reverse life state is not activated, the power exerted by the "National Master" is almost the same as his own.

But after he entered the reverse life state, the "National Master" automatically increased his strength to the same level as his reverse life state, and he suddenly lost all his advantages.

Therefore, he was even more miserable than Lu Ci. He was killed by the "National Master" with one move and never could hold on for the second move.

However, the difference between one move and two moves is not that big, so he told Lu Ci that it was almost the same.

Lu Ci did not suspect anything. The two exhausted guys walked back to the Tianshi Mansion with their arms around each other's shoulders. They were too lazy to attend the evening class and just went back to lie down. Zhang Zhiwei did not go to the evening class. He went to ask about the gossip about Aunt Lan and Uncle Zhang Yi.

When Zhang Huaiyi was attending the evening class, he found that Lu Jin and Lu Ci were not there, and he immediately knew that they had gone to test his senior brother's inner demons.

After the evening class was over, he went to find Lu Jin and Lu Ci and learned about the situation of the "National Master" from them.

After getting a general understanding, he began to try to enter the inner scene, to try to overcome his brother's inner demon.

"Again?"

The "National Master" stared at Zhang Huaiyi with flaming golden pupils, looking at him with great interest. He saw clearly that compared with the previous two, the one in front of him was much stronger.

"Please give me some advice, Master!" Zhang Huaiyi bowed deeply.

"You take action!"

The "National Master" said that its method of observation is outward-looking. The more people who come to observe, the more complete it becomes, so it accepts no one.

Zhang Huaiyi did not take action, but bowed again and said in a deep voice:

"Master, I have a request. I don't want a simple competition. I want to follow my brother's path again. Treat me the same way you treated my brother!"

The "National Master" was stunned for a moment, then grinned: "You..."

The corners of its mouth opened to its ears, and the smile became wider and wider. Its mouth became larger and darker, as if it was connected to a bottomless abyss.

The abyss swallowed up the heavens and the earth and submerged everything.

Zhang Huaiyi was distracted for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he was no longer in the hall, but came to a place with gloomy wind and falling blood clouds.

"What's going on? It's so eerie. Is this where my brother and his inner demon are fighting?"

As his thoughts were fluctuating, Zhang Huaiyi heard the sound of water. He followed the sound and saw a stone tablet in front of him.

The stone tablet was slightly tilted, with the words "Huangquan" written on it.

"The underworld?"

Zhang Huaiyi continued to move forward following the sound of water. Since he knew in advance that this was an inner scene, he had nothing to fear. He just needed to stay true to himself and not be distracted, and then it would be no big deal.

As he continued forward, the sound of water became louder. After a few steps, he saw a rushing river. The water was dark and turbid, and there were numerous hideous ghosts struggling and wailing in it.

This horrifying scene made Zhang Huaiyi lose his mind for a moment. He quickly recited the Heart Purifying Mantra to calm his mind.

As soon as he calmed down, he found a large bluestone in front of him. On the stone were three ancient and bright red characters - Three Lives Stone.

The Three Lives Stone, according to legend, can illuminate a person's past, present and future lives.

And he was right in front of the stone.

Zhang Huaiyi looked at the stone in front of him.

Quickly draw lines on the stone to reflect the picture.

Zhang Huaiyi instinctively wanted to look away, but found that he couldn't do it at all. Even closing his eyes was not an option. He was forced to look at the San Sheng Stone.

The image on the San Sheng Stone became clearer and clearer.

It was a figure with thick eyebrows and big ears, and it was him standing there.

This Three Lives Stone does not reflect his past life or future life, but like a mirror, it reflects his present self.

Zhang Huaiyi looked at the figure inside, puzzled: "What does it mean? What will happen next?"

Just as he thought of this, he saw the figure inside the stone bending down and looking towards him, his eyes were cold and even full of resentment.

This scene made Zhang Huaiyi terrified and felt cold all over.

At the same time, great panic descended upon him. He felt as if the world was spinning upside down. He seemed to be inside the stone, looking at himself outside the stone.

The self outside the stone still maintained the previous action.

"Hallucination, everything is an illusion!"

Zhang Huaiyi felt a little flustered and struggled subconsciously, but found that he could not move except his eyeballs.

Looking outside, I saw that outside the stone, my originally dull self was gradually becoming more human. At first, it was a little stiff like a puppet, but later it became more and more flexible.

As if adapting to the current body, the self outside the stone turned his head and looked at him, still smiling at him, a smile that was so cold and weird.

"I was swapped bodies with something in the stone?"

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Zhang Huaiyi looked around hastily, but found that it was dark all around him. The panic in his heart surged like a tide and was difficult to suppress. However, the self outside the stone had a mocking smile on his face.

"What's going on? Why am I here? I am in the inner world, the spiritual world. It is impossible for my body to be replaced. Everything is false."

Thinking of this, Zhang Huaiyi suppressed the fear in his heart, stopped thinking about those horrible things, and began to use thunder magic, trying to break the shackles of the stone, escape from the cage, and return to nature.

"Boom, boom!"

The thunder roared and the San Sheng Stone was shaking.

It’s done. It’s not difficult to get out. Zhang Huaiyi was delighted and immediately attacked the stone harder.

At the same time, he stared at himself outside the stone fiercely, and swore that after he got out, he would kill the guy outside.

However, the strange thing was that the harder he bombarded, the more violently the stone trembled, and the smile of himself outside the stone became more exaggerated, even to the point of hysteria.

"Laughing, what is he laughing at? What's so funny?"

Zhang Huaiyi was puzzled, but at this moment, he saw the low-hanging clouds in the sky outside suddenly surge, and a huge face occupying half of the sky slowly took shape, and it was the appearance of his senior brother.

The giant face's eyes slowly moved down and stared at him.

"Oh no, did my attack on the stone cause any changes? Did something more terrifying appear?"

"What you fear will come true. I have always regarded my senior brother as my target, so I act like my senior brother."

"What about Senior Brother? What did Senior Brother see at that time? How did he deal with it? Break the restraints by force?"

Zhang Huaiyi’s mind was full of thoughts, and then he saw the giant face in the sky open its mouth and utter the word "Chi" in a loud voice.

The next moment, the sky and the earth shattered, his consciousness changed, and he was in a trance for a moment. When he woke up again, he was back in the kasana room.

"what's the situation?"

Just as he was puzzled, he felt a sharp pain in his body and suddenly woke up. He carefully checked himself and found that the Qi was flowing backwards in his meridians. His whole body was severely damaged and he was almost on the verge of collapse.

He quickly adjusted his breathing and returned his Qi to its original position, while reviewing what had happened previously, trying to figure out what had happened.

At this moment, a terrible thought came to my mind.

"Just now, I seemed to be breaking the restraints of the Three Lives Stone."

"I actually broke my own body."

"If that big face hadn't appeared, I would have smashed my body to pieces. It was that big face that saved me."

"But if that's the case, then that big face is..."
