Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 424: Encirclement and Annihilation of Qin and Song
After everyone drew their lots, Ji Ren led everyone to the huge open space in front of the academy temple.

The square in front of the temple is huge, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

In the field, everyone had already set up a formation. Mysterious and complicated formation patterns appeared on the vast field, dividing this huge space into eighteen parts.

There are eighteen examination rooms.

One country has thirty-six names of Suns, and six countries have two hundred and sixteen names.

There are twelve candidates in each examination room.

They take turns to fight, each winner gets one point, and the top three with the highest points enter the second round.

Try to avoid as much as possible that powerful geniuses are eliminated early due to bad luck.

Everyone prepared according to the numbers they drew.

Ji Ren took the Da Qi warriors who had not yet started their performance to sit in the audience seats nearby. He looked around and then glanced at the figures on the podium.

Emperor Wu of Han and the wise counselor Zhang Hui.

Li Wancheng and Laozi, the military gods of the Tang Dynasty.

Bai Wuzhong, the Wu'an Jun of the Great Qin.

The Great Ming Heart Saint.

The Immortal Nanhua of Da Qi, Zhuge Qinglan, and the Moon Goddess.

Master Zhu of the Song Dynasty.

The six extraordinary people of the six countries sat on a high platform, overlooking the overall situation, like gods standing on the clouds, overlooking all living beings.

"I thought Ji Ren from Da Qi was already invincible among the younger generation. The champion of this year's Tianjiao Battle has not even started. I didn't expect that there is still one hidden in your Tang Dynasty. This time it is a fight between your Tang Dynasty and Da Qi. It's interesting." On the high platform, Bai Wuzhong looked at Li Wancheng and joked.

Among the six countries, Tang and Qi formed an alliance, and now the Tang and Qi are competing with each other, which is obviously in their interests.

"It's interesting. In this battle, the first place will be either Ji Ren of the Great Qi or King Zhao of our Tang Dynasty. The champion of the Han Dynasty is incomparable and brave, so I think there will be no problem in taking the third place. By that time, the genius of your Great Qin will not even be among the top three. I wonder if your Majesty can accept it." Li Wancheng said with a smile.

Although the top of the Tianjiao Battle list fluctuates every year, the top three are generally from the Han, Qin, Tang and Three Kingdoms periods.

Only in very rare cases would a genius emerge in the Lower Three Kingdoms.

For example, Su Li of the Song Dynasty, who had reached the peak of the Jintai Marquis realm, could have taken the top spot in previous years.

It’s just that this time the geniuses from various countries were too powerful.

Normally speaking, Yutai Hou is the undisputed number one, but now there are people from all three kingdoms, and Da Qi even has a king.

But no matter what, Daqin is about to fall out of the top three.

It's not a big deal, but it's always worth laughing at.

"It's just the outcome of a battle between geniuses. Why would Your Majesty care?" Bai Wuzhong pretended to be disdainful. He was thinking in his heart that if he couldn't even make it into the top three, His Majesty would definitely not be happy. Although there would not be any substantial punishment, it would not be a good thing.

"But compared with Ji Ren, your Tang Dynasty is a little abnormal." Emperor Wu said.

He saw everything that happened just now, it was not normal.

"His Royal Highness Prince Zhao has extraordinary talent, but he has a simple heart and often acts foolishly." Li Wancheng said.

"A pure heart? That means you're mentally retarded," Bai Wuzhong said bluntly.

"Bai Wuzhong." A hint of murderous intent suddenly appeared in Li Wancheng's eyes.

"What's wrong? Before the kids do anything else, you want to fight me first? Okay." Li Wancheng raised his eyebrows and showed a provocative look. He really wanted to fight with Bai Wuzhong, but there was a big man between the Qin and Tang dynasties, so there was no chance for a big battle.

It would not be bad to have a one-on-one fight with Bai Wuzhong now.

"If you want, it's not impossible. Fight alone or lead troops?" Bai Wuzhong said. He was also very interested in Li Wancheng, but he never had the chance to fight.

"If you want to fight, go outside and fight. Don't keep me here while I watch kids fight." Emperor Wu said calmly.

Bai Wuzhong and Li Wancheng looked at each other and stopped talking. Although Qin and Tang did not get along, in a sense, they were allies.

Chinese.

Being the first among the six nations is no exaggeration.

For four hundred years, the talents of the Eastern and Western Han dynasties were already formidable, but they continued to absorb figures from other dynasties, such as Liu Song of Liu Jienu, and even the rebel kings related to Liu, such as Liu Heita, who was known as the famous general crusher of the early Tang Dynasty.

Zhuge Qinglan sat aside without saying a word from beginning to end. He just glanced at Qiao Qingyu and Qiao Qingyin beside Ji Ren, and thought to himself that if King Zhao had met his junior brother in advance, the top three would have nothing to do with you, so what's the point of arguing here?

However, Zhuge Qinglan was still relatively restrained. After all, they could tolerate someone making a fortune in silence, but if he made a fortune and then taunted them, then Da Qi would really be doomed.

Low-key.

The immortal Nanhua was sitting next to Laozi. For some reason, he felt that all the confusion he had been experiencing in his practice for many years was solved, as if he had a sudden enlightenment.

But as long as he is with Laozi, he has this feeling. Is this called long-term enlightenment? Nanhua Laoxian vaguely feels that he may be able to reach a higher level.

But what’s wrong with this old guy? Extraordinary?

Is there anything so outrageous and extraordinary?
And I still have no expression on my face, looking down at Ji Ren and King Zhao of the Tang Dynasty. Is this hatred that transcends time and space going to end here?

Ji Ren had no idea what the people above were thinking. He just sat in the spectator seats and watched the geniuses of the six countries come on stage one by one to compete.

They were all generals from the Sun Realm, and their fights were not very entertaining to Ji Ren.

Just judging from the battle, the strength of the Great Qi Tianjiao, although not inferior to that of the Song and Ming Dynasties, is indeed slightly inferior to that of the Han, Tang and Qin Dynasties.

The next generation of Da Qi has a long way to go and a heavy responsibility.

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a light sound. On the arena, a powerful spiritual power surged, and Wen Huan, one of the Eight Days of Taiping, was directly knocked high up. Then his opponent flew up high at an even faster speed and punched Wen Huan hard on the chest. Wen Huan fell heavily to the ground, creating a deep pit with dust flying everywhere. Wen Huan spurted blood from his mouth and fell unconscious. I don't know how many ribs on his chest were broken.

Seeing this scene, the people of Da Qi changed color, but the opponent was calm and said: "If you have a noble spirit in your heart, no evil can invade you. If you don't study the righteous law, you will only have martial arts skills, how can you protect yourself?"

After saying that, the opponent looked at Da Qi and his group with disdain and disgust, then left.

"Damn it! This bastard did it on purpose!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jingshou was immediately furious. Although fists and feet in the ring are blind, but this action and this look were clearly intentional.

And Wen Huan was one of the Eight Great Days of Peace. If he had not been severely injured by this man, even if he lost, he would have had a very high chance of entering the top three.

This directly eliminated Wen Huan.

"Save Wen Huan first." Ji Ren suppressed Zhang Jingshou. Although that guy did it on purpose, fists and feet have no eyes in the ring and no one died, so there was nothing he could say. There was no point in being angry and revenge was the right thing to do.

As for the genius of the Song Dynasty, if you keep competing like this, you will meet him sooner or later.

If he doesn't meet him, it would be no problem for Ji Ren to go over to him in the dark at night and hit him a few times before leaving.

Saving people is the right thing to do now.

After hearing Ji Ren's words, Zhang Jingshou controlled his temper, replaced Wen Huan, and asked a specialized doctor to treat him.

But just as the rescue was completed, there was another loud noise from another arena. Ji Ren and others turned around and saw another warrior from Da Qi being knocked out, falling to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth and falling into a coma.

The warrior showed disdain, made a gesture of wiping his neck towards the remaining warriors of Da Qi, and then left arrogantly.

"Damn, this guy did it on purpose." Zhang Jingshou became even more angry when he saw this.

Two consecutive heavy blows were not aimed at winning, but at completely preventing the players from Da Qi from participating in the next round.

On the high platform, Nanhua Laoxian and Zhuge Qinglan also looked unhappy. They looked at Master Zhu and Bai Wuzhong unhappily and said, "The six countries are fighting, and they stop when it's enough. Is this the way Qin and Song duel?"

The first one is a scholar from the Song Dynasty, and the second one is a general from the Qin Dynasty.

They are all specifically targeting the warriors of their Da Qi.

"Old Immortal, Prime Minister, what do you mean by this? In the arena, fists and feet have no eyes. Isn't it normal to lose control of strength for a moment? No one died and no rules were violated. Why are you so excited? Are you the only warriors of Da Qi who can hurt people, and the rest of the warriors can't hurt you?" Master Zhu pretended to be puzzled.

Ji Ren and Huo Wuji's visit to Beijing trampled on the reputation of the Song Dynasty.

Huo Wuji couldn't afford to offend, let alone Emperor Wu of Han, so naturally he had to regain his face from the Great Qi.

It’s not possible to target Ji Ren, no one in the Song Dynasty is his opponent, but all the players except Ji Ren are possible.

As for Ji Ren’s revenge?
When you meet Ji Ren, just admit defeat before going on stage.

Usually, players go on stage because they have hope of winning. After all, cultivation does not necessarily equal combat power. In actual combat, there are more factors that affect the outcome. Although cross-level challenges are rare, they do exist. But facing a superstar, the Song Dynasty players do not even have a glimmer of hope of winning. In this case, what are they going on for?
And if Ji Ren really dared to retaliate privately, then Ji Ren would be in the wrong. With Da Qin around, Master Zhu really dared to kill Ji Ren directly.

"Yes, that's the truth. Fists and feet have no eyes on the ring. In my opinion, life or death doesn't matter. My Great Qin is a country of tigers and wolves. If we do, we will either not fight or we will not hold back." Bai Wuzhong also smiled.

Today, Daqin is surrounded by the Han Dynasty, the strongest of the six kingdoms, and the remnants of the six kingdoms. Only the Song Dynasty is timid and keeps giving money. If the neighboring Qi Dynasty becomes stronger again, it will be disadvantageous to Daqin.

Suppress it while you're at it.

"Okay, this is what you two said." Zhuge Qinglan nodded and gave Ji Ren a look. Ji Ren nodded to show that he understood.

Master Zhu and Bai Wuzhong saw this, but their expressions were calm, without any sign of abnormality.

Ji Ren alone cannot turn the world upside down.

The rest of the people, including Li Wancheng who had formed an alliance with Da Qi, all kept silent when they saw this scene.

Firstly, what Master Zhu and his men did was indeed within the rules. Secondly, the suppression of Da Qi was beneficial to them.

The final results of the Tianjiao Competition among various countries will depend not only on the performance of the top talents, but also on the overall performance of the personnel.

Ji Ren is already in the top two. If the rest of the Da Qi people also perform exceptionally well, then both the resources that Da Qi will get and the amount of sacrifices to heaven that will be reduced will far exceed that of the last time. So who will fill this gap?
So the suppression of Da Qi helped them.

Between countries, interests come first.
