Chapter 87 Colorful Illusory Spirit Gu
Hu Bo thought about it carefully and found that it was this truth. He did not insist there. Zhou Jin's real reason to stop it was not the one. Zhou Jin thought it very clearly that Ming Zhao was killed by himself in an environment where no one was around. No one found it in Black Stone City. The "Lord" was not present at the time, so he would definitely not know the truth, so there was no way to investigate. If Hu Bo arrested Ming Luo and attracted the attention of the "Lord", it would cause him a lot of trouble.
The strength of the "Lord" is unfathomable. If you come to the door, Zhou Jin doesn't know whether the Zhou family can compete, so be cautious first, and there is no need to make other troubles.
Although the Zhou family was worried about Ming Zhao's disappearance, the preparation for the city lord competition was always carried out in an orderly manner. Hu Bo did not notice it, and the Zhou family did not notice it. In the past, such affairs needed Ming Zhao to manage. In a sense, Ming Zhao was the backbone, and everyone regarded Ming Zhao as the real young master.
But during these days of confinement, the Zhou family left Mingzhao and everything was working normally. Everyone suddenly realized that there was no Mingzhao, everything was the same.
Moreover, Zhou Jin's achievements gradually changed the hearts of the Zhou family. The former playboy became the real young master in their hearts, and Zhou Jin became the pillar and hope of the Zhou family in the future.
The head of the family Zhou Yang sent someone to ask Zhou Jin to prepare. The city lord's competition tomorrow will definitely require the father and son to attend together. Zhou Jin has always claimed to be recuperating from the outside world. At this time, it is natural to "return after recovering from injury."
Although Zhou Yang, the head of the Zhou family, has absolute confidence in winning the championship tomorrow, he is still very cautious and practices alone. The Zhou family has completed all the preparations. Zhou Jin, who has returned from injury, has been leisurely, but this leisure has not lasted for too long. Meng Xinxin, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, has arrived.
After Zhou Jin was assassinated by Yu Langjun, he stayed in the name of recuperating from the wounds. He didn't even meet Meng Xinxin when he came to visit him. Both sides had just had a secret relationship, and it was really hard not to meet for such a long time.
When we didn't meet, we wanted to ensure that we were ambushing Ming Zhao, so that we thought we were still recuperating at home. Now that we have achieved our goal, there is no need to continue to disappear. Moreover, if we haven't seen each other for so long, Zhou Jin missed Meng Xinxin a little. It was a human being in two lives, and Zhou Jin had such a relationship with a woman for the first time.
Meng Xinxin was invited into the house by Hu Bo. After seeing Zhou Jin, she didn't know what to say for a moment. The young master of the Zhou family and the eldest lady of the Meng family missed her in her heart before they met, and felt that she had a lot to say to each other, but when she saw each other, she had nothing to say.
The two looked at each other, then lowered their heads, then looked up, smiling awkwardly, but they didn't know what to say. Hu Bo next to him tactfully saw this scene and retreated without disturbing the warm meeting of the couple.
When Hu Bo left, Zhou Jin finally remembered what to say. He leaned close to Meng Xinxin's ears, and Miss Meng's face turned red. This was the first time they were so intimate. Even though they were shy, Miss Meng did not avoid it.
"Ming Zhao has been killed by me." Zhou Jin said softly. He told Meng Xinxin about Ming Zhao's drugging. Sooner or later, the other party will think of this aspect after Ming Zhao disappears. There is no need to hide anything, so it is better to tell the truth.
Meng Xinxin didn't expect Zhou Jin to say this, and was stunned first, then shocked, and looked at Zhou Jin incredibly. Although he had never fought with Ming Zhao, Meng Xinxin was defeated by Qiu Wenwei in one move, and Qiu Wenwei was defeated by Ming Zhao in one move. She knew the difference between them.
Moreover, in order to deal with Ming Zhao, Zhou Jin specially invited his ancestor to take action and asked a strong man of level like Meng Xu, the ancestor of the Meng family, to deal with Ming Zhao. It is conceivable that Ming Zhao's strength is why, suddenly, this perfect and outstanding strong man was eliminated by Zhou Jin himself?
The eldest lady of the Meng family didn't think Zhou Jin was lying. The drug method that Zhou Jin told her at the beginning was extremely wonderful. Even if she was a master of poison use like this, she would be amazed. If she followed that method to deal with Ming Zhao, and Zhou Jin himself made so fast, it would be possible.
After thinking about it, the eldest lady of the Meng family couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou, is it true?"
"Of course it's true." Zhou Jin couldn't help feeling a little proud when he answered this sentence. It was really pleasant to show off in front of his lover.
Meng Xinxin blinked and suddenly said, "Has Senior Mo Changshan helped?"
At that time, in order to explain the changes in his body, Zhou Jin used Mo Changshan, a top-level strongman who had long been dead as a reason. Unexpectedly, Meng Xinxin remembered so clearly that anyone would think so. A strongman like Mo Changshan, the Lord of the Snow Mountains and Ice Sea, wanted to deal with Ming Zhao, as simple as crushing an ant.
Zhou Jin laughed dryly and changed the topic away. He asked, "Xinxin, how are your family preparing for tomorrow's competition?"
Meng Xinxin said with a smile: "Our family is not very prepared. Anyway, my father will fight against Qiu Zhenggang of the Qiu family tomorrow, and then lose to his uncle. What preparations are needed?"
The Meng family also saw the strength of Zhou Yang at the celebration. With such strength, the position of the city lord is certain, and there is no suspense. Because of this, Meng Zongyuan, the head of the Meng family, has a relaxed mentality. Anyway, Zhou Yang will definitely win, so just go up and take the form.
The next day, the battle for the city lord was decided by the lights and the battle for the city lord was the most important and solemn event for the city stone city.
Because it is decided to be a city lord, it is also closely related to the Five City Alliance, so the leader of the Five City Alliance and other city lords are coming to watch the battle.
Although the heads of each family will do their best in this competition, it is like a festival for the common people in Blackstone City, with lights and decorations everywhere, vendors shouting and selling, family tours, and even tourists coming from the outer city, which is very lively.
The venue for the competition is in the square in the city. Compared with the bustling and festive atmosphere in the whole city, it is much quieter and solemn. The guards of the three major families have already put martial law in the vicinity. All intersections have been blocked by warriors. All major families and distinguished guests from outside cities and families have all set up corresponding seats on the sidelines.
There is no need to build a arena for the competition at this level of the three masters, but it just circles a spacious space as much as possible.
Zhou Jin and his father Zhou Yang came here first. In this venue, only the head of the family and the young master were qualified to sit in the front row, while the other elders and others could only sit in the back.
The Meng family seats were on the right side of the Zhou family. Meng Zongyuan, Meng Dasheng, and Meng Xinxin came in the second group. Both sides greeted him politely. Although they had a tacit understanding in private, they had to take some form in terms of face. Meng Xu, the ancestor of the Meng family, also arrived at the scene. The father and son of the Zhou family stood up to greet him. The ancestor of the Meng family sat in the second row of the Meng family seats, and he was the only one in the second row, and the elders of the Meng family were all sitting behind.
However, the people from the Qiu family had not arrived for a long time. Meng Dasheng was relatively relaxed and leaned over to Zhou Jin and said, "The Qiu family knew that they could not beat Uncle Zhou, so they were so scared that they abstained from power!"
"Don't be rude." Meng Zongyuan scolded, and Meng Xinxin said, "As the head of the family, he must come to watch the battle even if he abstains. It is impossible for him not to come."
Wen Tiannian, the leader of the Five City Alliance, and the city lords of the other four cities, also arrived. Both sides were intrigued in private, and on the surface they were both polite and polite. Both the Zhou family and the Meng family stood up to salute, and Wen Tiannian also took the initiative to come over and greet Meng Xu, the ancestor of the Meng family.
Zhou Jin noticed sensitively that although the leader Wen Tiannian had a smile on his face, his eyes were extremely cold when he swept over him. As for the new Yutu City Lord Wu Jinbiao, he had no cover up. He stared at Zhou Jin tightly, his face full of hatred.
The leader of the alliance and the city lords sat down, and the other aristocratic families and the masters of the other cities were sitting behind. What surprised Zhou Jin was that the Northern Region Blue Port also sent someone over here. The Northern Region Blue Port sent a man in his thirties, wearing a black robe, with a blue edge on the hem and cuffs of the robe. After the arrival, from the leader of the alliance Wen Tiannian to the heads of the family below, they all greeted him politely and sat in the front row.
When he heard that it was the representative of the Northern Region Blue Port, Zhou Jin immediately noticed that this man was called Manager Zhang and his status was not too high. Zhou Jin could also hear that Manager Zhang was completely different from the "Lord" and did not have that shocking style.
Zhou Jin noticed that although everyone in the field greeted him, the attitude of the leader Wen Tiannian and the lords of each city were very cold and seemed to not want to get close to each other. Although the position of manager Zhang was not high, when facing nobles such as the leader of the leader, the city lord and the head of the family, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, not to mention that he was sitting so far.
Seeing Zhou Jin's attention, the head of the family Zhou Yang whispered: "Do you know why Wen Tiannian was anxious to capture the five cities? Now the Beiyu Blue Port is getting deeper and deeper in the five cities, and even the decision to the city lord has to send someone to participate. Wen Tiannian treats the five cities as his own territory, and he will definitely not feel comfortable, but what can he do? The Beiyu Blue Port is too strong."
"Father, will the people from Blue Port in the Northern Region interfere with the ownership of this city lord?" Zhou Jin asked.
"Of course not. Beiyu Blue Port just needs to reflect its own existence. They don't want Wen Tiannian to integrate the five cities to fight against them. They don't care about the individual cities. As long as we do business with them, we can just be at ease with the vassal." The head of the family Zhou Yang explained with a smile.
This statement is similar to Zhou Jin's own analysis. A large force like the Northern Region Blue Port did not have the interest in annexing the Five Cities Alliance, but he did not want the Five Cities Alliance to integrate and oppose him. Zhou Jin was about to speak, but suddenly felt something and turned his head to look aside. The people from the Qiu family arrived.
In secret, life and death were fought against each other, and on this occasion, everyone did a good job on the surface. When the Qiu family entered the venue, the Meng family, the Zhou family and the outside guests all greeted each other. Everyone did it normally and couldn't tell what was different from the past.
Many people in the scene noticed that Ming Zhao did not come. Although everyone did not ask questions, they whispered a lot, but everyone did not talk for too long. During this period, Zhou Jin's reputation became more and more powerful. Everyone thought it was natural that the most outstanding young man in the aristocratic family was a foreign surname.
Zhou Jin has been paying attention to the manager Zhang from the Northern Region Blue Port, and always has to be prepared for the situation. However, this manager Zhang is doing a normal job and can't tell who he pays special attention to. It seems that he is just taking the form of his visit to Black Stone City.
Before the competition, an elder in the city said a few clichés to the opening ceremony. This was nothing more than the prosperity of Black Stone City. Everyone should stop hurting the harmony and talk about the rules of the competition. This is also very simple. The three heads of the family fight each other, and the two heads of the family who won two games competed for another battle to decide the city lord.
Waiting for the elder to come to an end, the competition began. As arranged in advance, the first competition was when Meng Zongyuan of the Meng family vs. Qiu Zhenggang, the head of the Qiu family.
Meng Zongyuan, the head of the Meng family, nodded and smiled at the direction of the Zhou family, and then got up to act. He understood this attitude very clearly. I will definitely do what I promised in advance.
Zhou Yang, the head of the Zhou family, sat there confidently, and judged with a smile: "Lao Meng and Lao Qiu have similar foundations, but Lao Qiu's flame technique restrains the Meng family's poison skills, but it is difficult to distinguish without taking hundreds of moves."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yang's expression became solemn. Zhou Jin, who was listening to the lecture easily, found something wrong earlier! On the Meng family seat on the side, he heard Meng Xu's "Huh" sound, and his tone was extremely shocked.
The level of martial arts can be seen from many details, such as the behavior and demeanor of a person. Qiu Zhenggang, the head of the Qiu family, got up and entered the venue. His steps were filled with murderous aura, which was shocking. Except for someone who saw it, the originally noisy venue immediately became extremely quiet at the moment when Qiu Zhenggang stood up, and everyone was shocked by this momentum.
"No, Qiu Zhenggang's martial arts realm cannot be so high!" Zhou Yang exclaimed in a low voice. Zhou Jin could also see that the martial arts realm of the Qiu family head had a great breakthrough at this time.
However, Zhou Jin noticed other details. The martial arts realm of the head of the family Zhou Yang and the ancestor of the Meng family Meng Xu was enough to sense the difference between Qiu Zhenggang. Among the people watching the game, there was another person who also had this realm, namely the leader Wen Tiannian, but he always smiled and had no expression changes. You know, the strength of a warrior at the level of Qiu Zhenggang suddenly increased sharply. No one would be surprised by such incredible things. Wen Tiannian was so calm, obviously he knew about it.
Although Qiu Wenwei, the young master of the Qiu family, had a gloomy face, he did not look excited and excited. The father-son blood relationship and the changes in his own father would definitely know that Qiu Wenwei was so calm and should have known about it in advance.
What exactly happened? Zhou Jin's mind was lit up. In his observation, Qiu Zhenggang's martial arts realm was no longer inferior to Zhou Yang.
Many people don’t know how specific it is, but the pressure emitted by Qiu Zhenggang can be felt. Everyone’s faces showed a look of surprise, and the people on the Meng family’s faces changed from relaxed to solemnity, or even to worry.
Even the people around him were like this, Meng Zongyuan, who was facing Qiu Zhenggang in the audience, felt the oppression coming to his face.
"Brother Qiu has become so diligent, I didn't expect it!" Meng Zongyuan said coldly. In his opinion, the head of the Qiu family must have hidden his strength in normal times and did not fully show it until this time.
Qiu Zhenggang squinted his eyes when he walked into the venue until then, and he opened his eyes directly, with black and white eyes, but there was a little flame in the deepest part of the black pupil. If you look closely, you will find that there is actually a huge fire! Meng Zongyuan subconsciously took a step back to avoid the fire that was coming to his face. When he stopped, he realized that this was just a feeling.
"Why did it suddenly get hot?"
"Do you smell the burnt?"
"Go and have a look, there's a fire outside!"
Even the people on the outside had no idea what was going on, and they were asking loudly there, and some people were running back and forth to find the fire that did not exist.
After all this, Meng Zongyuan did not dare to be careless at all. He stared at the other party with full vigilance. Meng Zongyuan waved his hands forward, and a faint green mist emerged out of thin air. After the green mist appeared in the air, it seemed as if he had his own life, twisting towards Qiu Zhenggang.
The green fog moved forward, Meng Zongyuan's body changed, and the hidden weapons came out. Some hidden weapons were poisonous dart poison needles, and some hidden weapons were small projectiles. The projectiles exploded directly in the air. After the explosion, unknown gas was emitted. The color of the fog began to change. What's even more strange is that as the color changed, the activity of the fog became more intense, as if the vitality had been strengthened. The poisonous dart poison needles did not shoot directly at Qiu Zhenggang, but instead collided and hovered in the air, blending with the fog.
At this time, the fog seemed like a monster without a body, changing its body shape and radiating. But everyone would notice that although the fog was bright in color, it represented a fatal toxin, not to mention that there were sharp hidden weapons inside. Outsiders seemed to have Meng Zongyuan, who was constantly swimming, had already gained the advantage. The poisonous fog seemed to be another part of his body, and now there was two-on-one in the field.
"Colorful Phantom Spirit Gu..." Zhou Jin whispered the name of the moves used by Meng Zongyuan, but the voice was not loud, but the head of the family Zhou Yang, the Meng brothers and sisters on the other side, and the ancestors of the Meng family could hear it clearly.
The Meng family looked at Zhou Jin with extremely shocked eyes. They were surprised why Zhou Jin knew this name. Of course, there were ten reasons that would attribute the reason to Mo Changshan, the Lord of the Snow Mountains and Ice Sea. The head of the family Zhou Yang looked over with questionable eyes, hoping that Zhou Jin could explain it clearly.
"The colorful phantom spirit Gu is a type of poisonous abilities, which is equivalent to fusion of toxins by itself. The human body is ever-changing, and toxins are also ever-changing. Moreover, because it is combined with itself, this phantom spirit Gu is in harmony with the warrior's mind and spirit. Because of its certain consciousness, it can flexibly respond to attacks on the field. Because toxins are ever-changing, even if the enemy responds, it often cannot keep up with the changes in the toxin. Moreover, the toxins can attack independently. Those hidden weapons are actually used for the phantom spirit Gu, but the real power is not here. The real power lies in the fact that after the phantom spirit Gu is used, the warrior can perform another martial art by himself. In a sense, there are two people in the field!" Zhou Jin lowered his voice and explained there. He deliberately controlled the sound so that he would not be heard by the people in the field.
Meng Zongyuan was moving quickly, and the poisonous fog was moving, and he had already acted with Meng Zongyuan. Qiu Zhenggang had been standing there without moving. Meng Zongyuan's hands were already wrapped in blue smoke, which was swaying in his hands.
"Brother Meng actually practiced the magical smoker. I really didn't expect it." This time, the head of the family Zhou Yang couldn't help but exclaim, and then whispered: "Without Xiaojin, you have a good relationship with the Meng family, and without the key points of the second half of the 'Gold and Stone Scroll' you gave you, it would be difficult to face him for your father."
The "Colorful Phantom Spirit Gu" and "Miscity Smoke Hand" must at least be able to practice in the "solid stone" realm. Zhou Jin knew that the attack of the "Miscity Smoke Hand" was very difficult. If it was touched by the blue smoke, the person would immediately become numb. If it was inhaled, the internal organs would be corroded. If it was hit by the hand, some of the power would even be absorbed!
Meng Zongyuan has been hiding his strength. If he hadn't cured the ancestor of the Meng family and cured Meng Dasheng, they would have owe a great favor. If Zhou Yang had not practiced the second half of the "Gold and Stone Scroll", it would have been difficult to deal with Meng Zongyuan.
But Zhou Jin was not surprised by the strength shown by Meng Zongyuan. He focused on Qiu Zhenggang, the head of the Qiu family. From the beginning, Qiu Zhenggang did not move and watched Meng Zongyuan attack coldly.
The "Colorful Phantom Spirit Gu" in the air had expanded large enough to wander around Qiu Zhenggang. Meng Zongyuan had already reached behind Qiu Zhenggang. The smoke from his hands suddenly condensed and pounded towards Qiu Zhenggang's back. At this moment, the shape of the poisonous fog suddenly changed and suddenly rose outward. The hidden weapon inside shot out. The color of the poisonous fog suddenly turned black and wrapped around Qiu Zhenggang while the rest,
In an instant, this phantom spirit Gu really seemed to have a spiritual monster. The black poisonous mist wrapped Qiu Zhenggang in it, and Meng Zongyuan's fists hit Qiu Zhenggang heavily on the back.
Surrounded by poisonous fog, miasma and poison entered the body, and it was possible that ordinary warriors would become bloody at this moment. Qiu Zhenggang was attacked motionlessly. This was too strange.
Meng Zongyuan succeeded in one blow, and some people exclaimed, but none of the Meng family cheered and cheered, and the ancestor of the Meng family frowned even more.
Zhou Jin noticed that when Qiu Wenwei, the young master of the Qiu family, saw that his father was hit, there was no worry on his face, but he was watching the battle with a gloomy expression. Zhou Jin looked at the battlefield and suddenly discovered something. He didn't see clearly because of the toxic fog. I don't know when, Qiu Zhenggang actually closed his eyes. He kept closing his eyes to meet the opponent's attack, and he was so arrogant.
In a very short moment, the poisonous mist wrapped around Qiu Zhenggang, and Meng Zongyuan gathered Qiu Zhenggang. At this moment, Qiu Zhenggang opened his eyes!
It was not a pair of eyes, but two flames, a hot and bright flame!
The black fog wrapped around the past suddenly retracted. This "Colorful Phantom Spirit Gu" was indeed spiritual. It had realized the danger and the condensed black fog suddenly dissipated.
But it was too late! Qiu Zhenggang just punched forward and hit the black fog. With a sudden sound, the black fog burned in the air. Everyone around him smelled a burnt smell, but those who could smell these smells were already considered strong people. Most of them were retreating because the temperature in the field suddenly increased a lot, and many people felt the flames rushing.
Chapter completed!
