< Two in one! Eh, it's still seven thousand. >
Only at the moment when the assassin climbed up the tree, he seemed to twist his body and look back. But the crowd did not see it clearly, because everyone's eyes were already attracted by Jun Moxie.
Even Jun Zhan Tian's loud roar of 'Mo Xie …' was only able to form a prelude to the word 'Mo' before everyone's heart was filled with grief. Even Jun Zhan Tian's loud roar of 'Mo Xie' could only form a prelude to the word 'Mo' before he shut his mouth. If one did not listen carefully, it would vaguely sound like Old Man Jun Zhan Tian shouting "Mom …" to the sky.
This was because, in everyone's eyes, this person who had been pierced through the chest should have died with blood splattering everywhere. However, in reality, he was riding on the horse perfectly fine. There was not even a drop of blood on his body. He was completely uninjured!
Everyone was stunned at once. What is going on? They clearly saw a person pierced through the chest, why is he …
The moment Jun Moxie stepped into this range, his heart had instantly raised a warning sign. In his life as an assassin, his mind had long been honed to be incomparably sensitive. His intuition for danger had allowed him to feel the killing intent on this part of the road!
Although Jun Moxie's expression did not change, he was already prepared in his heart!
But even so, the speed of this assassin's movement was still somewhat beyond his expectations!
Really fast!
Almost at the moment when he raised his guard, this person had already turned into a shadow and arrived before his chest. Jun Moxie could even feel the unusually cold temperature of this assassin's sword!
The only thing Jun Moxie could see was a pair of cold, seemingly dead eyes, like the eyes of a dead fish, staring at him from Lengleng.
Other than that, there was only a gray shadow!
This person's speed was so fast that it was already too late to dodge!
In the face of absolute speed, all experience, knowledge, and instincts were useless! It was an absolutely fatal strike!
At this critical moment, Jun Moxie quickly made a decision in his heart. He had no other choice. He no longer cared whether he was exposed or not. With a swoosh, he immediately escaped into his greatest life-saving trump card – the Hongjun Pagoda. But because this sudden change of events happened too suddenly, there was still an afterimage left on the horse. It looked as if someone had pierced through his chest with a sword.
Then, he immediately came out of the Hongjun Pagoda, still sitting on the back of the horse. All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and it was too much for everyone's eyes to take in. But who would suspect that Jun Moxie actually had such a mysterious life-saving method?
Right at this moment, the crowd exclaimed once more!
A streak of dark-yellow light followed the path of the man's attack along the tree that he had just been perched on and shot out like a dragon!
Jun Zhan Tian was already standing in front of his grandson. His body glowed with blue light, and it was obvious that he had pushed his cultivation to the limit. Then, he suddenly punched! His fist tore through the air, producing a thunderous sound. It was clear that the old master had used all his strength in this punch!
However, this all-out attack hit nothing but air.
This menacing yellow light dissipated upon contact, disappearing without a trace. There was actually no power within it.
"This is an afterimage!" Jun Moxie, who was behind him, said slowly. Watching the yellow light slowly dissipate, Jun Moxie's face was full of solemnity!
This man's Xuan Qi cultivation could not be considered very high, only at the peak of the Earth Xuan realm. But his speed was extremely strange. Jun Moxie did not doubt that even the famous Solitary Eagle would only be able to match this man's speed if he exerted his full strength!
He was actually able to leave the Xuan Qi light emitted from his body behind! What kind of terrifying speed was this!
How could a peak of the Earth Xuan realm possess such a supreme level of speed?
Not to mention Jun Moxie, almost everyone around him, who was an expert, could not figure it out either! How could there be someone in this world with such a speed?
Seeing that everyone was on high alert, Jun Moxie smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, with such a terrifying speed, I believe this man can only make one attack! If he can do it continuously, then wouldn't he be even more powerful than Yun Bie Chen? "
Everyone suddenly came to a realization. Such a terrifying attack speed was indeed terrifying, but it should not be continuous. But in this world, there were very few people who could block this attack!
Even if Tian Xuan was at his peak, he would be seriously injured if he were to face this attack. Even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured! How did Jun Moxie dodge it?
What everyone did not know was that right now, Jun Moxie's entire body was covered in layers of cold sweat! He was filled with lingering fear.
Such a lightning-like attack of death! Even in Jun Moxie's previous life, he had never seen such a thing!
Even Jun Moxie, who was a peerless assassin, could not match up to it!
This kind of speed had truly surpassed the limit of what the human body could achieve!
This was not to say that no one could achieve such a speed. If it was someone as strong as Master Shen Xuan, then it would not be surprising. For example, if the Solitary Eagle were to use his full strength, he would also be able to achieve such speed, or even surpass it. But for this speed to suddenly appear on a person who only had the strength of an Earth Xuan, it truly surpassed the limits of the human body!
Jun Moxie had always been very conceited, confident enough to look down on all the heroes of the world. Apart from the fact that his cultivation was limited by his age, he was also very proud of his own speed and reflexes. In his previous life, he had once dodged a bullet fired from a sniper rifle from a distance of ten meters, and was completely unharmed!
Even in this life, with the help of the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune, his control over speed had not regressed. But this time, he was actually unable to dodge that thunderous attack!
Didn't this mean that this person's attack speed had already surpassed the roaring bullet of a sniper rifle? One must know that the speed of a sniper rifle's bullet was nine hundred meters per second! That speed was close to three times the speed of sound!
Jun Moxie's heart was filled with shock. Even though he had safely dodged that thunderous attack, he was still drenched in sweat, and his clothes were drenched in sweat.
Although in his previous life, he had been completely focused, and his feet were on the ground, and he was riding a horse now, the difference was not small. But this person's speed was truly terrifying!
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Jun Mo Xie's mind. [An Earth Xuan's speed is absolutely impossible to reach such a level of speed … unless … it's similar to Hai Chen Feng's unique skill of self-destruction. Or perhaps it's similar to the Great Art of Demonic Disintegration from my previous life. Only then would it be possible to reach such a level of speed in a split second …]
If this was the case, then the previous assassin must have been very weak at this time, and it was not impossible to say that he had sustained severe injuries …
Jun Moxie looked in the direction that the assassin had left, and his eyes gradually became sharp!
[This person is too dangerous!]
Fortunately, there were no casualties in such an unexpected assassination attempt. Everyone became even more cautious on the road. Tang Yuan simply left the group halfway, and hurried back to the Aristocratic Hall to collect the medicinal ingredients.
Jun Zhan Tian couldn't help but ask his grandson when he saw the Jun Family's main gate, "Mo Xie, how did you dodge that attack?" Grandpa Jun had been holding back this question for a long time. He had asked himself, [I don't think I could have evaded that attack. Even I couldn't evade it. So, how did my precious grandson manage to do so?] Jun Moxie admittedly had remarkable abilities, but strength was something that required a lot of time to cultivate. There were no shortcuts. This was the most puzzling point for Grandpa Jun.
Jun Moxie smiled faintly, looked at his grandfather, and earnestly said, "Grandpa, you can rest assured. As long as your grandson doesn't want to die, no one can kill me! Even the Eight Great Masters wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on my body! I'm incomparably confident about this! "
"Ah!" Jun Zhan Tian was shocked on the spot. [This boasting is a bit too outrageous, isn't it?]
"Grandpa, this concerns your grandson's biggest secret." Jun Moxie found this somewhat funny, and blinked his eyes. "It's the last resort that can save one's life under any circumstances! You don't want me to expose it, do you? "
"So that's how it is!" Grandpa Jun let out a long sigh of relief. After the initial shock, he beamed with joy. He no longer asked what this secret was all about. Grandpa Jun was old and experienced. How could he not know that there were some secrets that could only be kept in one's heart? The more people that knew about it, the higher the risk of it being exposed. As long as he knew that his grandson had such a method, then he wouldn't ask for anything else.
"Mo Xie, if such a thing really exists, then consider it your life's biggest secret." Grandpa Jun looked at his grandson with a relieved expression, and exhorted, "Even if you find a wife in the future, don't tell her. Just keep it to yourself. That's your biggest trump card! Only with a secret can you have a trump card! When a secret is no longer a secret, a trump card is no longer a trump card! "
"Grandpa, don't worry. I understand!" Jun Moxie was somewhat moved. Grandpa Jun's unreserved love and care for him was something he had never experienced in his two lives.
"This time, His Majesty will certainly mobilize his troops!" In the Jun Residence's main hall, Jun Wuyi, who didn't attend the Scholarly Autumn Autumn Banquet, listened to the grandfather and grandson's narration. Then, he slowly said in a tone that made it impossible to guess wrongly, "Moreover, His Majesty will summon a general this time! Otherwise, even if the sky were to collapse, His Majesty wouldn't have lost his voice at that moment. "
Grandpa Jun nodded with a heavy expression, but didn't say anything. Ever since Jun Wuyi had recovered and succeeded as the Family Head, Grandpa Jun had never spoken out about the family's decisions. He had always tried his best to let Jun Wuyi shoulder the family's heavy responsibilities by himself. Grandpa Jun would only participate in the family's matters if there was something he couldn't handle or if there was an unexpected omission. Even if he did participate, he would only touch on the surface and stop there. He would never interfere too much.
"It seems that I will have to make preparations." Jun Wuyi chuckled. His eyes glowed with the desire to fight, and a long-lost aura of war appeared on his body.
"Why?" Jun Moxie was smart and vigilant, but he still couldn't understand why Jun Wuyi would have to make preparations if the Emperor wanted to mobilize his troops? The news of Jun Wuyi's recovery was only known to a few people. In the eyes of the world, the Third Master Jun was still a disabled person.
"In fact, this Golden Scholarly Feast can't be considered as a Scholarly Feast in the strictest sense!" Jun Wuyi sneered and said, "This Feast is for you, Jun Moxie! The duration is short, the number of events is few, and you're the main target. You'll only be able to accept the humiliation if you don't. Otherwise, you'll be exposed no matter how you perform. You wrote a poem and a couplet. Even though they're crude, you were able to come up with them in such a short period of time. That's a sign of talent! The Golden Scholarly Feast was over after you answered. Moreover, His Majesty had personally stopped it! This means that he has already achieved his goal. This is the conclusion! "
Jun Wuyi smiled deeply, "Mo Xie, you haven't experienced the strife of the Imperial Court. The Imperial Court has been in a much more chaotic situation than today's. Why didn't His Majesty show such impatience? Therefore, I'm certain that His Majesty's objective for this Golden Scholarly Feast is our Jun Family! Since it's the Jun Family, and Mo Xie has shown some clues, His Majesty's suspicious nature will naturally think: Why? He will never think that we're doing this to protect ourselves from his suspicions. He will only think of one thing: Enduring so patiently, he must be plotting something big! It doesn't matter if it's true or not! "
Grandpa Jun let out a deep sigh and turned his head away. It seemed as if he didn't want to listen anymore. In fact, what Jun Wuyi had said was something that Grandpa Jun had already thought of. He hadn't mentioned it before because he was holding onto a contingency plan. But now, his hopes had been dashed. So, he didn't want to say anything. They had been brothers for decades. Yet, they were plotting against their own family … How could they endure this?
"His Majesty has always been suspicious and cautious. I believe that he won't immediately take action. Therefore, he'll gradually weaken our Jun Family's strength! And, I'll be the first to bear the brunt of it. The Xuan Beast Tide in the Southern Heaven City will provide him with the perfect excuse … Therefore, this time, it's my turn, "Jun Wuyi said indifferently. His eyes emitted a sharp and cold light. It was profound and breathtaking.
Jun Moxie sneered and said, "If he really thinks so, then he's gravely mistaken. … Third Uncle, if you really go to war this time, I'll go with you. The Tian Fa Forest is an excellent place for me and our Jun Family. "
Jun Wuyi narrowed his eyes and said, "You're going too? I'm afraid that you won't be able to go even if you don't want to. My only worry now is … "He looked at his father and said," If Mo Xie and I are dispatched to the South, and you're alone at home … "
Jun Zhan Tian laughed and said, "My son, you don't need to worry about this. He won't act rashly before our Jun Family loses its power. Otherwise, why would he use you as a test? "
Jun Wuyi patted his head, "I didn't think of this …"
Jun Moxie smiled, "Third Uncle is too worried and confused. It's not that he didn't think of this."
The three of them had come to a decision. Now, all that was left was to deal with changes by remaining unchanged.
The three of them also felt that this matter … was not a big deal.
Especially for Young Master Jun. What was there to be worried about when faced with an unforeseen event that was already in his grasp?
"Mo Xie, don't you think you should think about it for a while? The training of the three-hundred-strong guards should be relaxed for a while. They're already very tired from the high-intensity training every day. More haste makes waste …" Jun Wu Yi had a serious expression on his face as he raised this matter.
Jun Moxie was startled. He became silent and slowly said, "I understand Third Uncle's concerns. But, the intensity of their training is still far from what I want! I will only strengthen it step by step. I won't relax them even a little bit! The ones who can endure it are the ones with the strongest combat power I want! "
Jun Wuyi was stunned. That inhumane training still needs to be strengthened? If this group of people were placed on the battlefield, any one of them could become a standard killing machine. How could he say that it was still far from what he wanted?
Just what kind of freaks was his nephew trying to train?!
And, could those soldiers really endure it?!
…
On the field, there were a hundred people divided into two teams fighting against each other. All of them were sweating profusely. Ever since he had returned from the outskirts of Tian Fa Forest, Jun Mo Xie had come up with a training program that was twice as intense as the original. He had been training day and night without rest, twenty-four hours a day. In fact, Jun Mo Xie's timing had been precise down to the second!
Now, all of them had extra sandbags tied to their legs and arms. Even when they were eating or sleeping, they were not allowed to take them off. Every day's combat training was a direct battle of life and death!
If there was an outsider here, he or she would be shocked. This was no longer like a fight between humans, nor was it like a training between soldiers. Instead, it was like a group of wild beasts, crazily biting each other. Everyone's eyes were filled with an ominous glint. Their murderous aura was awe-inspiring. It was as if they were facing an irreconcilable mortal enemy.
After an entire afternoon of brutal combat training, the Xuan Qi cultivation within their bodies had been completely used up in the time it took to burn a stick of incense. At present, they were only relying on their body's instincts. They were completely using their physical strength to hit and endure the other party's attacks!
The Jun Residence's huge field was unexpectedly not even a speck of dust could be seen! During this period of training, every inch of the field had been soaked in sweat and blood thousands of times. Bodies were constantly smashed into the ground, creating human-shaped holes. Then, large holes were smashed into the ground one after another, and then flattened. Up until now, only a small mark could be made on the ground with a hammer. The entire field had turned into an oily color …
What a terrifying scene!
By the time Jun Moxie arrived, the battle had clearly reached a white-hot stage. In fact, no one had much strength left in the confrontation.
One of the burly men roared as he pounced on the other, fiercely punching and kicking. That burly man neither dodged nor gave way. Two bangs resounded as he took the blows head-on. Then, he similarly punched and kicked. Both of them fell back at the same time with a loud bang. Then, they got up at the same time and fought fiercely again. It was like two rhinoceroses fiercely colliding with each other …
The Jun Residence's pond had turned dark at this moment. There were dozens of huge iron pots on the side. They were constantly boiling and boiling medicinal herbs. People were constantly pouring the boiled medicinal water into the pond. Then, they would add more water and continue to steam.
Nearly a hundred big men were soaking naked in the pond. Their eyes were closed, and their faces were solemn. Naturally, they weren't bathing. Instead, they were undergoing another kind of training. During this period of time, Jun Moxie had thrown a large amount of medicinal herbs into the pond every day. The entire pond would be changed once every three days. These big men would jump into the pond and soak their bodies in it after their daily training. They would absorb the medicinal herbs and recover from their fatigue.
The reason why this was considered another kind of training was because the temperature of the hot water in the pond was close to boiling. If their bodies hadn't reached a certain level, they would've been cooked if they stayed for a while. It was also because this medicinal water contained a large amount of precious medicinal herbs. Not only did it dispel the soldiers' fatigue, but it also nourished and conditioned the soldiers' bodies. This allowed them to withstand such harsh training.
Of course, they had to pay a corresponding price for using such good water. Even the task of changing the water was done by them. Moreover, they weren't allowed to take up the training time!
Jun Mo Xie's training methods couldn't even be described with the word 'cruel'. Even Jun Wu Yi, who had always been a strict commander, felt that Jun Mo Xie's training methods were somewhat 'cruel and inhumane'.
Jun Moxie was hidden at the side. He was carefully observing each and every one of them. During this period of time, he would change the intensity of training almost every day. These big men would be surprised to find that the intensity of training that they had adapted to yesterday was no longer able to withstand today's training …
Limit! There was a limit at every moment!
As for their current training, every moment of every day, they were surpassing their limits! The strength of their bodies would rise a little every day or two, and the profound energy in their bodies would increase a little every few days. Even though it might not be very obvious, it was an abnormally real increase …
Such a speed of improvement was simply shocking!
The Xuan Qi in their bodies wasn't very high. The strongest among them was only at the pinnacle of the Gold Xuan realm. In fact, most of them were stuck at the Silver Xuan realm. However, the strength of their bodies had reached a terrifying level!
A little further away, a row of fifty big men stood at the foot of the wall in a horse stance. Their eyes were closed. Beside each of them, there was another person holding a thick wooden stick. They were gnashing their teeth and swinging it with all their might. The wooden stick carried a sharp sound as it hit every part of their bodies. It was as if the wooden stick was slapped on cowhide. However, they didn't seem to be in pain. At most, their faces would twitch a little, or their brows would furrow. Other than that, they didn't have any other reaction!
Their bodies were still standing firm and strong!
After each of them had been slapped over a hundred times, they finally breathed out heavily. They stopped their horse stance and twisted their necks to move their wrists and ankles. Suddenly, a series of violent slapping sounds could be heard. It was as if firecrackers had been set off. Then, they picked up their wooden sticks. The fifty men who were originally responsible for beating the men stood at the position of the men who were beaten. They closed their eyes, got into a horse stance, and lowered their hands. The muscles on their bodies immediately tensed up.
Whistling sounds could be heard again. However, the positions of the men who were beaten and the men who were beaten had changed …
After the two teams had finished taking turns to beat the men, an order was given. The hundred men were divided into two groups and entered the field. The hundred men who had been fighting desperately on the field also lined up neatly under the order. Everyone was panting heavily as they moved neatly towards the foot of the wall. Then … they would either beat the men or be beaten …
Under the command, these 100 people started a terrifying brawl without any hesitation. Every punch and every kick was aimed at the vital points: the chest, the throat, the temple, the back of the head, the genitals, the knees, and all the other joints …
One could imagine how tragic the situation would be if one of them could not block the attacks. However, these burly men were all used to it. They accurately blocked their opponent's attacks and looked for any possible gap to attack the opponent in front of them. Even if they were hit, they would try their best to maintain their position where their skin was thick and their flesh was unimportant.
Occasionally, someone would be punched in the nose by his opponent, causing blood to flow. However, regardless of whether it was his opponent or himself, their expressions did not change. Their gazes were cold. It was as if the ones who were bleeding were not themselves or their comrades, but the enemies!
With a whistling sound, nearly a hundred men in the pool stood up at the same time. They put on their clothes and lined up on the shore. Everyone in the field stopped fighting at the same time. They took off their clothes and entered the pool in an orderly manner.
As for those who had just come ashore, they began an even crueler sparring session. This time, it was not one-on-one. Instead, it was a crazy fight between two teams without a target. It was either one against several, or several against one.
At this moment, they were still being attacked by several people. In the next moment, they had joined the ranks of several people attacking others. The scene was chaotic and indescribable. From time to time, a man could be seen being kicked in the chest or stomach. Then, he flew out and crashed into several people. However, in the next moment, he would rush back in with vigor and fight crazily …
Throughout the entire process, apart from the loud shouts of orders, there were only the sounds of rough fighting. Not a single person spoke. When they spoke, they used another method. They used their fists, feet, elbows, and even shoulders …
The three groups of people went through each other's training again and again. This was only the training during the day. At night, apart from cultivating profound energy, the other training was even crueler than the training during the day … because that was the training of weapons!
Everyone gritted their teeth, risked their lives, and used all their souls to accept the training. In their minds, there was only one thing that was very clear: They must reach the standards of the Young Master! Because the Young Master had said that the assessment was getting closer and closer! When the time came, those who did not pass the assessment would be kicked out. They would continue to do the work of guarding the house and cooking!
After tasting the sweetness of rapid progress and seeing the clear hope of becoming a strong person, no one was willing to go back to the decadent life of the past! That was a disgrace!
This team of steel, after going through the test of death like a phoenix rising from the ashes, was finally about to take shape!
