Chapter 68: The Crisis of the Demon King
"Give it to you!" Zhou Ze thought of something, took out the jade box of Vermilion Bird blood from his arms, handed it to the old man and said, "The Vermilion Bird blood you want. In addition, do you really have the soul of life?"
Zhou Ze always thinks you are like a dead person, how can you have such a tall and noble thing!
The old man took the jade box and opened it and saw the Vermilion Bird blood. The dead face was a bit volatile, as if he was thinking about something, and his expression was a little dazed.
"With you in your hand, some things are easy to do!" The old man murmured to himself, his hand directly towards the Vermilion Bird's blood. Zhou Ze's expression changed when he saw this scene. This is the essence and blood of Vermilion Bird, which contains infinite divine power. Just reach out to touch it?
What surprised Zhou Ze was that this drop of Vermilion Bird blood touched the old man's fingers, just like his own blood. It easily penetrated into the old man's body and then disappeared.
"How could this happen?" Zhou Ze looked at the empty jade box in front of him in a daze, and couldn't help but wipe his eyes. When did the tyrannical Vermilion Bird Blood be so obedient? It seemed like the blood flowing out of the old man, and it easily merged into his body?
The old man looked at Zhou Ze who was stunned, and did not mean to explain it to Zhou Ze. He just said calmly: "Your father asked me to bring you a word!"
"What's the matter?"
"He may not be able to control the Demon-Suppressing Army for too long!" said the old man.
Zhou Ze raised his eyes slightly, looked straight at the old man and said, "What does it mean?"
"Your father is ready to fight to the death and hit a realm. No matter whether this realm can be hit successfully or not, he must put down what he has done first." The old man answered Zhou Ze.
"Put down what you are in your hands?" Zhou Ze's face changed. If the old man really put down what you are in your hands, wouldn't Chu Emperor and Zhou Mie have a chance and could completely erode the demon-suppressing army. Without the Zhou family, what kind of demon-suppressing king is he?
"Your father is about to take that step long ago, but he has been suppressing it, so he has never made any breakthrough." The old man said, "But even if you suppress it now, you can't hold on for long. At that time, he will definitely fight to the death and hit a higher level."
"What will happen if you fail?" Zhou Ze felt a headache.
"Maybe dead! Maybe it's broken! But this is not important. His life and death are the same. If he doesn't take over the demon army, do you know what the royal family will do?" The old man answered Zhou Ze.
"Where is the eldest brother?" Zhou Ze rubbed his head. His father did not take charge of the demon army. The result was too terrifying. If the royal family let the demon army control, would the Zhou family still have a way out?
"What else can your elder brother tolerate except for his cultivation?" the old man asked Zhou Ze, "Are you expecting him to take over the demon-suppressing army?"
"Don't my father throw this to me again, right?" Zhou Ze smiled helplessly.
"He will try hard to suppress his strength and prevent it from breaking out, but he doesn't know when he can't suppress it. At that time, he will have to go into seclusion." The old man said, "And if the demon-suppressing army is not in your hands at this time, the royal family will definitely divide them. Without the demon-suppressing army, how could the royal family be jealous of your Zhou family?"
Zhou Ze knew that if the Zhou family lost the Demon-Suppressing Army, there would be no exception.
"What else did my father say?" Zhou Ze took a deep breath and said, knowing that he could not escape some responsibility, since that was the case, he could only bear it.
"He said: The Demon-Suppressing Army is loyal to him, and you are his first heir. If you have the strength to suppress Zhou Mie, the Demon-Suppressing Army will naturally be on you, and it will not be Zhou Mie's turn to take over."
This sentence made Zhou Ze smile bitterly. He could understand the idea of the Demon Suppressing Army. His reputation as a playboy with a romance and romance had already spread throughout the three armies. The Demon Suppressing Army had long lost confidence in Zhou Ze, so how could those unruly people let a playboy lead them?
However, Zhou Mie, as his adopted son, performed very well. In addition, Zhou Mie was in the same army with them back then, so many people were willing to be Zhou Mie to form a demon-suppressing army.
If Zhou Ze wants to take over the demon-suppressing army, he must first change their impression. He thinks that Zhou Ze is more suitable to take over the demon-suppressing army than Zhou Mi. To do this, he has to prove himself. What proves that he cannot avoid is Zhou Mi. If he can beat Zhou Mi, he will naturally shut up all the demon-suppressing army soldiers.
With the identity of the Prince of the Demon-Suppressing King, he has the power to defeat Zhou Mie, so that Zhou Ze can exclude Zhou Mie and naturally take over the Demon-Suppressing Army.
As long as the demon-suppressing army is still in the hands of the Zhou family, who dares to target the Zhou family easily?
"How long can my father last?" Zhou Ze asked. Zhou Mie is very strong. Zhou Ze doesn't know how strong he is, but he knows that he is definitely not his opponent at this moment. He has a long way to go to defeat Zhou Mie.
"I don't know, maybe half a year, maybe one year, maybe two years." The old man said, "How long can it be suppressed depends on your life!"
The old man used the word "life" to tell Zhou Ze, which made Zhou Ze suddenly tense up. Indeed, his father insisted on the fate of hundreds of people in the Zhou family! If he persisted for a long time, the lives of these people would be able to live longer.
"I don't believe in fate!" Zhou Ze took a deep breath, stared at the old man and said, "Life should be in his own hands!"
The old man did not answer Zhou Ze. In his opinion, he was just saying something, and the rest were Zhou Ze's own choices.
"Your father has done everything he can do, you are his prince, and the first heir is naturally you. As long as you have the ability to make those soldiers recognize you, the life of the Zhou family is in your own hands." The old man said.
Zhou Ze clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said nothing, sat cross-legged and started practicing.
Of course, Zhou Ze asked the old man from time to time about the ancient path of cultivation. He didn't know that he had been cheated and devoted himself to practicing, and did not try to break through the realm of divine sect. Instead, he worked hard to achieve the three conditions of the old man.
Of course, with the old man's guidance, his understanding of nirvana is getting deeper and deeper, and the rapid progress of nirvana is not an exaggeration to describe it as a thousand miles a day.
When the old man looked at Zhou Ze, he naturally knew how difficult it was to walk the limit of ancient times. Even in ancient times, not many people dared to take this path.
If it weren't for the amazing soul of Zhou Ze, the old man wouldn't have suggested that he take this path. But it would be a pity not to take this path now. The old man was surprised that Zhou Ze's soul was so powerful that it was almost formed.
Of course, the old man would not really think that Zhou Ze could meet all the conditions, but any one that reaches the limit is enough to dominate the same level in this era.
Zhou Ze benefited a lot from the old man's advice, but Zhou Ze still felt panic when such a living dead person was in his room. Of course, there were many people who felt this kind of feeling, such as Fatty Hua and others. Since the old man appeared in the Jiawu Hall, they had inexplicably suppressed them and wanted to find out the reason, but they could not find it at all.
After staying in the Jiawu Palace for a whole week, Zhou Ze was approached by Fatty Hua and told Zhou Ze that today is the regular class time for the school every month.
The students in the academy are quite free and practice according to themselves. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask the teacher. There are example classes every month, and example classes are concentrated teaching. Of course, there are also various competitions, activities, and notifications from the academy, which will be arranged on this day.
Zhou Ze and a group of students from the Jiawu Palace have been cured during this week's cultivation. After they left the Jiawu Palace, they felt that the depression disappeared inexplicably, which made the group of people suddenly become cheerful and excited.
"I heard that freshmen can go to the Battle Skills Pavilion to choose a set of combat skills for the first time."
"Yes! Finally, I can have combat skills!"
"Let's wake up. Although you can go to the Battle Athletics Pavilion, it is rumored that no more than 30% of the students who get combat Athletics Pavilion every time you go to the Battle Athletics Pavilion, and most of them are the lowest-level yellow-level combat skills."
"Maybe I'm lucky. If I can get the mysterious combat skills, if I go against the will of heaven, I might get the earth-grade combat skills."
"Wake up! Just your character, stop dreaming!"
“…”
A group of people went to the Battle Skills Pavilion while fighting, and Zhou Ze also learned from them that the freshman came and there was such treatment, which made Zhou Ze somewhat interested in this sample class. It would be good to get a set of combat skills.
When he arrived at the Battle Athletics Pavilion, Zhou Ze found that many new students gathered in front of the Battle Athletics Pavilion. There were probably thousands of people. Moreover, there were still people coming over.
The Battle Skills Pavilion is very large and covers a vast area. Although it is known as a pavilion, it is a group of palaces, and it is probably not a problem to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
"This is the Battle Skills Pavilion!" Looking at the majestic palace group in front, some practitioners who had never seen before could not help but exclaim.
"Freshmen can only enter with the jade tablets of students. Remember that everyone can only stay in it for one hour. Each student can only get one set of combat skills, and they can bring out combat skills, but they must be returned within one month." The teacher guarding the combat skills pavilion said the rules.
Zhou Ze followed Hua Fatty and others, took out the student token and entered the combat skills pavilion with them. As soon as he walked into it, Zhou Ze seemed to be in an empty place.
There is really no item in this empty palace, it is really empty.
"Is this the Battle Skills Pavilion?" Zhou Ze, Fatty Hua and others frowned, thinking that they had never seen one of the combat skills.
"Swish..." At this moment, a light broke through the empty space. The light was not slow. It passed by everyone's eyes and disappeared in an instant.
"Every set of combat skills here is wrapped by the heaven and earth's vitality. If you want to get it, you have to break the heaven and earth's vitality." A voice sounded out of thin air in the combat skills pavilion, "The heaven and earth's vitality comes from the demon crystal. If you cannot break the intention of the demon crystal, you cannot get the combat skills. Of course, not every qi of combat skills is wrapped with combat skills. Some are just simple heaven and earth's vitality and do not have combat skills. Everything depends on your luck. I wish you good luck."
"Damn!" Many students couldn't help but curse. At this moment, a ray of light shot out. A practitioner of the innate realm suddenly published a book and smashed it hard towards the light.
This practitioner is not weak. He smashed it out with one palm and smashed the beam directly, and an item dropped from it.
"The Yellow-level Low-grade combat skills Mantis Fist!" The practitioner looked sad and stared at the combat skills in his hand. "The heaven and earth vital energy just now had a power comparable to that of the innate realm. What fell out of such a power was actually a yellow-level low-grade combat skills?"
