The Fourth Financial Crisis

Although Tan Sijun is not good at head-to-head confrontation, his real strength is no less than Chen Ming. With the increase of high-level skills, he can still suppress the extremely powerful Mountain Eagle Sword. And this is high-level skills. The advantage of the law.

When the natal flying sword hit the Zhongshan Eagle Sword, Tan Sijun changed the moves of the flying sword in his hand again. Two sharp sword energy shot directly into Chen Ming's head, bringing with it a cold wind that made his skin numb.

Facing Tan Sijun's sudden change in the fierce attack, Chen Ming raised his brows, silver light flashed under his feet, and he took a few steps back in an instant, and slashed hard from bottom to top with the Mountain Eagle Sword in his hand, almost like inertia.

The two figures quickly passed each other in the air!

As the figures of the two Golden Core monks returned to their original positions like ghosts, it was as if nothing had happened just now.

Obviously, neither side could hurt the other.

Although the two people had just fought for a short time, it was quite dangerous. As long as there was a slight mistake, serious injuries would occur. The degree of danger was not obvious to even Liu Hanxing, except for Fu Meng, who had a vicious vision. Only two figures could be seen intersecting quickly, and then falling to the ground respectively, forming a confrontation situation again.

Although the short and fierce confrontation between the two sides was a 50-50 draw, Tan Sijun stared at Chen Ming, who was standing proudly with a sword in one hand, his face looking extremely ugly.

In the confrontation between the two, it was Tan Sijun who was clearly the first to attack, but Chen Ming relied on his extremely rich combat experience to strike later and failed to let the other party take any advantage. Although the two sides seemed to be evenly matched on the surface, Tan Sijun clearly understood Realized that he had lost all his money.

Chen Ming must have noticed Tan Sijun's embarrassment, and sneered and challenged Tan Sijun: "Elder Tan, my first three moves have already been defeated!"

Tan Sijun was furious at Chen Ming's ruthless ridicule.

He wanted to continue to launch a strong attack, but someone reached out to stop him. The person who stopped him this time was not Liu Hanxing, but Fu Meng, the late Jindan cultivator with the highest cultivation level in the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Although Tan Sijun usually behaves domineeringly, he is not willing to provoke Fu Meng, a late-stage Jindan master. Seeing Fu Meng taking the initiative to stop him, Tan Sijun was a little annoyed and said: "Elder Fu, why are you stopping me?"

Fu Meng shook his head and replied very concisely: "I'm afraid you are no match for Chen Ming!"

"But--!"

"When we just fought, Chen Ming didn't use the real power of the flying sword in his hand at all, and every time he made a move after you made the first move, and then he responded with a second move. Even so, you couldn't take advantage of the confrontation. You have the upper hand. What Chen Ming just said is right, if there is a real sword and gun fight, you will never survive five rounds!" Fu Meng did not save Tan Sijun any face, directly interrupted the other party's defense, and also pierced the layer. Window paper.

Fu Meng has always been the kind of person who doesn't like to talk much, but what he says always hits the point.

Tan Sijun's face turned red and white, but he didn't know how to refute the other party, so he had to forcefully explain for himself: "When I fought against the old thief Li Feiyu, I accidentally damaged the foundation of my cultivation, and my cultivation fell from the fifth level of the golden elixir to where it is now. , if I am in good condition, how can Chen Ming be my opponent?"

Chen Ming just stood with his sword in hand, showing a look of disdain to argue, while Fu Meng also sighed deeply, obviously very speechless to this elder Tan Sijun who only had a tough talk.

Although both of them are elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, and even Fu Meng's cultivation level is higher, Tan Sijun is a direct disciple of Elder Qiu Longbo. Even when he came forward to arrest Li Feiyu, he not only received the divine protection granted by Qiu Longbo himself, He has a strong body, and can also shout around and give orders to the two Golden Core monks who are cooperating with his actions. His status is obviously extraordinary.

On the other hand, Fu Meng's master, Elder Luo Shen (the author of "Regulations on the Management of Zhongzhou Sects"), had passed away more than two hundred years ago, and he was an isolated monk with no backing.

Seeing that Tan Sijun was hit by Chen Ming's provoking method and insisted on rushing over to kill him, it would be wrong for Fu Meng to stop him, and it would be wrong not to stop him. If he stops him, Tan Sijun will think that Fu Meng is looking down on him. If he doesn't stop him, Tan Sijun will think that Fu Meng is jealous of his status in the law enforcement hall and wants to make fun of him deliberately.

Fu Meng was not very good at dealing with people. Faced with this situation where he was not human inside and out, he couldn't think of any good solution except a wry smile. However, this wry smile fell on Tan Sijun's ears, just like a parent seeing his child. The bitter smile when he was disobedient made Tan Sijun feel that he was despised again.

Tan Sijun glared at Fu Meng and said, "Senior Brother Fu, what did you mean by sighing just now?"

Hearing this, Fu Meng even wanted to die.

Not only was everything he said wrong, he couldn't even sigh. This was too difficult!

However, in the face of Tan Sijun's questioning, Fu Meng could not say a word, so he had to use all his emotional intelligence to deal with it reluctantly: "Junior brother Tan, we law enforcement monks always pay attention to the speed of the soldiers when doing things, and there is no need to say anything to the suspect. Wude, everyone can just go up together, so as not to have long nights and too many dreams!"

"Are you teaching me how to do something?"

"I didn't mean that. It's just that this place is not far from Yuehua City. Chen Ming is challenging you to a duel. He clearly wants to delay time. We can't fall into his trap!"

Tan Sijun wanted to say something more, but Fu Meng didn't dare to give him another chance to speak. He cupped his hands toward Chen Ming and said, "I'm Fu Meng from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Wuliang Sword Sect. I'm here to learn Master Chen's clever tricks!"

Chen Ming originally wanted to fight with this idiot Tan Sijun a few more times and continue to delay the time. Unexpectedly, Fu Meng had seen through his plot and forced Tan Sijun back.

At this moment, seeing Fu Meng preparing to take action personally, Chen Ming couldn't help but said solemnly: "Oh? Fellow Taoist Fu also wants to spar with me?"

Fu Meng shook his head and said: "This is not a competition, and I won't hold back! In fact, I don't want to be an enemy of Master Chen, but Governor Liu came with the order of Elder Qiu Longbo, and it is my duty to do so. Please forgive me, Master Chen!"

Although Fu Meng has some emotional intelligence, it is obviously not enough.

His original intention in saying these words was to make Chen Ming understand his difficulties, so as not to bear the infamy of being in conflict with the leader of the vassal sect, and not to offend Cheng Shuying, the powerful ancestor of the Yuan Ying period of the Wuliang Sword Sect because of today's events. .

However, after hearing these remarks, Liu Hanxing, who was originally expressionless, now turned a bit ugly: "In the entire Law Enforcement Hall, you are the only one who wants to be a good person. Fu Meng wants to be a good person. Leader Lin Jianxing and Elder Qiu Longbo are giving blind orders." Can't?

Fu Meng took the blame for his immediate superior, and he did so in front of his immediate superior's confidants. This level of political incorrectness is beyond the sky. It would be fine if he was just a messy person like Ma Kezhang, but as an immeasurable person Fu Meng, the top late-stage golden elixir monk at the top of the Sword Sect's pyramid, has no qualifications to show off!

The current scene is very obvious. The people from Cheng Shuying's family and the leader's family are fighting. You, a late Jindan cultivator from the Law Enforcement Hall, still don't want to join the team of your own Law Enforcement Hall?

Such traitors on both ends of the spectrum are simply unreasonable!

But after all, Liu Hanxing was not a pure idiot like Tan Sijun. He also knew that only Fu Meng could deal with Chen Ming, and now was not the time to engage in internal strife.

Therefore, he just kept a dark face and said nothing, silently keeping the account in his mind, and also grabbed Tan Sijun who was about to get angry. After settling the matter, he came to trouble Fu Meng again.

Seeing that Fu Meng, the strongest opponent, was about to take action, Chen Ming no longer looked as relaxed as before: "I have also heard of the name of Fellow Daoist Fu, but a law enforcement general like you will not go overseas to arrest Zhongzhou wanted people. He was a criminal, but he was used as a gunman to attack our own people in Zhongzhou. It would be a waste of talent!"

Fu Meng said in a deep voice: "Things have to be prioritized. I happened to encounter this matter today. I really can't sit idly by and ignore it!"

"So Elder Fu also knows what priorities are?"

Chen Ming shook his head and said with disapproval: "In recent decades, Zhongzhou has countless high-level monks who have fled overseas. Since Tian Daxiao took charge of Huoyunzhou, the assets of Huoyunzhou have become more expensive every day. The average price of local caves The price has more than doubled. Even I heard it in Tianshu City. You Wuliang Sword Sect Law Enforcement Hall ignores these obvious worms, but you are still keen on engaging in internal fighting. This is what you say The so-called priorities?”

Faced with Chen Ming's accusation, Fu Meng was unable to refute.

As the business backbone of the Law Enforcement Hall, he actually knows more about the situation than Chen Ming.

As the economic situation in Zhongzhou deteriorated, a large number of cultivators realized that the situation was not good, and began to recklessly plunder the wealth of mortals and low-level cultivators in Zhongzhou, and then took away the cash and wealth and fled overseas, leaving a large number of people in Zhongzhou that no one could clean up. mess.

Fu Meng repeatedly proposed to take action against these people.

However, in order to establish the status of Huoyun State as a "safe haven for cultivation capital", Tian Daxiao, the current leader of Huoyun State, is willing to protect these exiles from Zhongzhou at all costs. The difficulty of cross-state law enforcement by the Wuliang Sword Sect is countless times more difficult than when Tian Shangcheng was in power. .

In addition, Lin Jianxing, the contemporary leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, also adheres to the concept of pacifying the domestic situation before fighting against foreign aggression. He is unwilling to break out into conflict with Huoyunzhou and only targets the opposition forces within Zhongzhou. Therefore, in recent years, Luo Hui and those who have fled have The intensity of hunting down criminals has dropped significantly compared to the past.

Fu Meng has not planned an overseas law enforcement operation for a long time. The only overseas pursuit operation he planned in recent years was to hunt down Li Feiyu.

The reason why Li Feiyu was desperately hunted by the Wuliang Sword Sect had nothing to do with what he did in Arctic State, but because after he defected, he openly slapped Head Lin in the face, which made Head Lin furious. Already...

Although Fu Meng didn't want to engage in infighting within Zhongzhou every day and make people panic in Zhongzhou's cultivation world, but his own leader had already set policies and he could only obey orders.

Seeing Fu Meng's silence, Liu Hanxing took the initiative to take a step forward and explained: "Master Chen's words are wrong! Chasing the fugitive overseas is important, but so is promoting the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system and improving the governance system of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Importantly, wouldn’t the reform of Zhongzhou’s social security system ultimately benefit all the mortals in Zhongzhou? These measures are also working for the common interests of all mortals and all cultivators in Zhongzhou, but the focus is different!”

Chen Ming snorted coldly and said: "What a mortal in the name! Mr. Liu can hold a high position, and his theoretical skills are unparalleled. But I am afraid that some people, in the name of a mortal, can do what they do with their hands." It’s all my own business.”

Liu Hanxing said calmly: "Headmaster Chen is just trying to taint someone's innocence out of thin air! If he makes malicious speculations based on this method of free mental testimony, then there will probably be no good people in Zhongzhou."

Chen Ming immediately retorted: "In today's Zhongzhou cultivation world, I'm afraid there are really no good people! Not to mention the Zhongzhou cultivation world, which of our generation of cultivators is not one who does not care for others and will be punished by heaven and earth? It's just that some people are willing to take the initiative to admit that they are not perfect. , and some people become bitches and build a memorial arch for themselves!"

At this point, Chen Ming almost pointed at Liu Hanxing's nose and cursed him. Since the two sides have broken down to this extent, there is nothing left to say.

Liu Hanxing glanced at Fu Meng and said, "Elder Fu, Master Chen seems to have made up his mind to prevent our Wuliang Sword Sect from performing official duties. With your strength, you should be able to settle this matter quickly!"

Fu Meng said angrily: "I'll do my best!"

Having said that, Fu Meng did not give Liu Hanxing a chance to continue arguing with Chen Ming. Instead, he pulled out a strange natal flying sword that was exuding black mist from the storage bag in his arms.

This flying sword is obviously not an ordinary thing. The black mist it releases even distorts the surrounding light. And if you can observe carefully, you will find that it is not the light that is distorted by the black mist, but the light that is distorted by the black mist. The space itself.

What's even more weird is that this flying sword clearly has the power to distort space, but it doesn't release any breath.

Being able to use the method of concealing aura to such an extent is a strength that can only be obtained by inheriting and practicing the Shura Sword of the Wuliang Sword Sect to the highest level. It can even be said that compared to Qiu Longbo, a Shura Sword Nascent Soul Stage monk, Fu Meng is only The only difference is the level of cultivation, at least in terms of Shura sword attainments, the two sides are already on par.

Seeing Fu Meng pointing this strange flying sword at him from afar, Chen Ming's eyes became sharp. He tightly held the Zhenpai Immortal Artifact Mountain Eagle Sword in his hand, and his whole aura quickly increased. He was much stronger against Tan Sijun just now.

At this time, even Tan Sijun realized that when Chen Ming fought with him just now, he probably didn't use his full strength at all. The face of this arrogant elder of the Law Enforcement Hall instantly became extremely ugly.

And as Chen Ming and Fu Meng's momentum reached its peak, a battle at the late Jindan level was unavoidable!
