Locust

Chapter 85 Killing Game

"Well said……"

Cao Cuo leaned back on the chair, smiled and said, "Lu Qian, Hao Jiantong, what you two said makes sense."

He was condescending, looked at the two kneeling, and said lightly:

"That's how it is, I will counteract your two suggestions, kill one person and keep the other..."

Hao Jiantong was startled: "Master, this is absolutely impossible!"

"This... really kills a Foundation Establishment?"

Lu Qian was also taken aback, this script is not right.

Lu Jingnan smiled and said, "The leader is wise, it should be like this."

The two kneeling were shocked and begged for mercy:

"Master, please forgive me, please allow us to make meritorious deeds..."

"I ask the Lord to be magnanimous..."

no, no...

Hierarch, how could you mess around without following the script?
How many Foundation Establishment cultivators are there?
If we really kill us, wouldn't the strength of the Stone Sect be greatly damaged?Don't you understand the reason behind this...

"Ok?"

Cao Cuo was expressionless and calmly said:

"Do I still want you to teach me how to do things?"

Everyone in the hall was silent, the needles could be heard, only the two Zhu Ji kowtowed still...

"Hoo!" A blue short sword was stuck on the ground, right between the two of them, and the cold air was overwhelming.

Cao Cuo spoke softly and smiled:

"Now we are playing a game, a very interesting game. Your mana has been banned, and now you are just like ordinary people. There is a dagger on the ground, and I only want to see one person alive. As for how to choose, you decide ..."

"Master..."

"This is……"

The two looked at each other, and naturally knew the meaning of this game. If two people kill each other, one will live and the other will die, it depends on who can strike faster...

But the two have known each other for many years and have become confidants, how can they turn against each other and kill each other?

The cold voice of the leader of the Stone Cult came again:
"My patience is limited. If you don't start playing this game again, I won't keep a single person alive..."

The hearts of the two of them shuddered, their spines shivered, and their bones were chilled...

"what……"

Ouyang Zhen's eyes turned cold, and he roared:

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry for you..."

He stretched out his hand violently, and grabbed Lan Qiu's dagger...

"In your dreams……"

Unexpectedly, one of Zhao Tuo's hands came first, and grabbed the Lanqiu sword. Without hesitation, the tip of the sword stabbed fiercely at Ouyang Zhen...

Zhao Tuo's face was ferocious, and he said viciously: "Hehe, I knew the surname Ouyang... You bastard is unreliable. Since you must earn a life and death, of course I will let you die. I live..."

"Do not……"

Seeing the dagger piercing towards the center of his eyebrows, there was no time to dodge, Ouyang was shocked and said:

"don't want……"

Sudden.

The blue short sword was an inch away from Ouyang Zhen's eyebrows, and suddenly stopped, motionless...

"what?"

Zhao Tuo was shocked, only an inch away, no matter how much strength he used, the blue dagger couldn't get through...

He said angrily, "What's going on?"

Now, his hands are out of control at all.

The blue short sword slowly turned upside down, and instead slowly cut towards Zhao Tuo's own neck...

In the eyes of outsiders, it was Zhao Tuo who was holding the short sword steadily, gently touching his throat...

"Stab!"

A blood flower bloomed.

Zhao Tuo's throat and mouth sprayed bright red blood at the same time...

"Cough...cough! Master..., I am the one who wins..., I am the one who wins,...why do you want to kill me, why..., it's not fair...it's not fair..."

Zhao Tuo looked at the leader on the stone seat, and his heart was full of unwillingness, resentment, doubt, and fear...

Ouyang Zhen next to him narrowly escaped death, and was sprayed with blood on his face again. He was confused, surprised and happy, and a little at a loss...

"madness!"

Cao Cuo's face was flat, looking at Zhao Tuo who was struggling to death, he said coldly:

"Did you get the rules of the game wrong? The only person who can decide the life and death of the two of you is me, so the key to this game is not who kills the other first, but who can please me first..."

Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of unwillingness, and he said with difficulty:
"Why... I lost..."

If he doesn't understand the answer, he will die with regret...

"You really want to know? It doesn't hurt to tell you..."

Cao Cuo smiled lightly and said:

"Just now your hideous expression was too ugly, it affected my mood..."

"ugly……"

Zhao Tuo didn't expect such a ridiculous answer. With his last breath, he shouted hoarsely:
"You... are a devil..."

Zhao Tuo died in a fit of utter despair...

Ouyang Zhen narrowly escaped death, and when he thought of the demon leader on the stone seat, his body trembled slightly, and he repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude:

"Thank you, the leader, for your life..., thank you, the leader, for your life..."

"No fun!"

Cao Cuo waved his hand and said: "Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be forgiven. Ouyang Zhen, I will punish you for a month of illusion. Are you convinced?"

"Convinced by heart, convinced by heart..."

Ouyang Zhen didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, even if the big devil wants him to commit suicide on the spot, he might not hesitate...

There is only one reason why this person is so unbearable:
He's been hit.

The two of them fell into the illusion at the same time just now, and the endless fear between life and death added to their bodies, while Ouyang Zhen's magic was deeper and he couldn't extricate himself. This was also the key to his survival.

From now on, it is impossible for this person to have any ulterior motives. He will be a loyal lackey of Shijiao for the rest of his life.

Unless he breaks through the alchemy realm, there is a little chance of breaking away from Cao Cuo's illusion...

"Zizzizi..."

A group of bright red flames spewed out from Zhao Tuo's seven orifices, and instantly reduced his body to ashes, leaving only a small karmic red lotus...

The Yehuo Red Lotus slowly extinguished, revealing one of the green locust Gu, flapped its back wings, and turned into a green light, which fell into the hands of Cao Cuo on the stone seat.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Cao wrongly played with the green locust on the back of his hand. This green locust had not been seen for many years.

The red lotus burning corpse just now is an improved eating method of the green locust. After all, it is too bloody and cruel, and the painting style is not correct...

"The leader is indeed a devil..."

This is the perception of everyone under the stone seat. Today's game is a bit exciting, and they didn't realize that the leader used illusion to add some material.

They watched one Ji Ji die with reluctance to rest in peace, and the other Ji Ji was terrified and shocked...

Both of them are foundation-building monks in the sect!
This kind of scene is really impressive and will never be forgotten for a long time...

This is also the effect Cao Cuo wanted. After today, the "cohesion" of the Stone Sect will definitely rise to a higher level.

His requirements are not high, as long as he does a good job of clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments, maintaining sufficient deterrence, and allowing everyone in the teaching to maintain execution.

Today, Hao Jiantong is the great enshrinement of the shrine building in Shiling City, and his power in the city is overwhelming.

Zhao Tuo died, and Ouyang Zhen was confinement for a month. Hao Jiantong naturally had a way to cover up this little change in personnel so that no one would be suspicious...

……

Ouyang Zhen has been imprisoned, and when he left, his steps were much lighter...

Cao Cuo put away the green locust Gu on the back of his hand, looked at everyone in the hall, and said:

"Most of the first thing has been done, and there is still one Ji Ji remaining in Iron Cloud City. What's the situation with the other two things?"

Lu Qian took the initiative to come out and said: "The second thing is: a foundation cultivator from the Yin family of Yingshan Fort, through Hou Shan's channel, said that he wanted to meet the leader, said that there was a big sale, and wanted to talk to the leader."

"Big deal?"

Cao Cuo asked: "Do they know that the talisman in Hou Shan's hand comes from the Stone Sect?"

"Master Hui, the Yin family probably doesn't know..."

Lu Qian analyzed: "The stronghold of Iron Cloud City has not used the name of Shijiao to do things, and Yingshan Fort should have no way of knowing."

Cao Cuo nodded and said: "It's okay to see it, the family of the Stone Sect is getting bigger and bigger, and these alchemy forces will have to contact sooner or later."

Lu Qian went on to report: "As for the third matter, it was also in Iron Cloud City. The foundation-builder Liu Jing over there reported that someone had seen a red ginseng plant in the Guannantian secret storehouse, and the medicine was nearly ten thousand years old. ..."

"An elixir close to ten thousand years old, very good."

Cao Cuo said with a half-smile: "As for Liu Jing? Interesting..."

"..."

Everyone in the hall didn't know why, but they didn't dare to ask in detail. After the leader left the customs this time, his power became more and more powerful. Everyone tried to be careful in doing things, "games" or something, don't play...

Cao Cuo flicked his sleeves, and two fiery red pills flew out and hovered over Lu Jingnan and Lu Qian respectively.

"These are two Chijing pills, which have a miraculous effect on Shi Gong's promotion. You two are my old Yuan Cong. You have made a lot of contributions over the years. You can take one each, which will increase the probability of foundation establishment by [-]%..."

A total of six of such Chi Jing Dan Cao Cuo have been practiced, which are used to enhance the foundation of the Stone Sect.

The owners of the five pieces have already been determined, namely: Lu Qian, Lu Jingnan, Chu Hongxiu, Lu Yunfei, and Qingshuang.

Lu Qian and Lu Jingnan have the highest cultivation bases, Chu Hongxiu has continued to use elixir in recent years, and his cultivation base has also come from behind. They are not weaker than the two of them. Lu Yunfei has a middle-grade Taoist bone, and Qingshuang has the blood of Shenpeng...

These five people have the most hope of building a foundation, as for the others, they can only gamble on their own fate.

"Thank you, Master!"

The two of them took the elixir and saluted to express their thanks. With this Chi Jing elixir, their confidence in breaking through the barriers of the Foundation Establishment Realm has increased a lot.

"Hao Jiantong, this is yours..."

On the stone seat, a booklet flew out and hovered in front of Hao Jiantong

"This is the essence of alchemy that I sorted out, together with some insights into exercises from [Poison Classic Pharmacopoeia], it should benefit you..."

"Thank you, Master!"

Hao Jiantong accepted it readily. In his opinion, the origin of this leader is mysterious, and his understanding of alchemy and exercises must be far better than his own. Being able to get the guidance of the leader will definitely benefit a lot...

Seeing that everyone had accepted the rewards, Cao Cuo asked:
"What's the current situation in Nanyi?"

Hao Jiantong replied after hearing the words:
"As the leader expected, the He family is ambitious and has already clashed with the famous sword villa. The two sides have already made a move, but they have all been ordered. There are no casualties of the real person..."

"The disciples of both Qi training and foundation building realms are constantly rubbing against each other on Xiliuyuan. There are many casualties. The conflict has intensified. It shouldn't be too long before the two sides fight each other..."

"In Shoushanfang City, the owner of Shoushanfang still can't retreat. Due to the conflict of interests, Yingshan Castle and Huanlou have constant conflicts, and even the He family can't mediate..."

"The various forces in Qinyun Mountain, under the persuasion of the Yin family in Yingshanbao, have fully moved closer to the He family. The current He family is in full swing, and it is the most prosperous period since the establishment of Nanyi..."
