Chapter 427 Aren’t you very good at deception? Su Chen actually talked about Ji Sheng's mentality when he was talking with Mr. boasted of his extraordinary talent, and when his strength improved slowly, he acted as if he didn't care. Pretend to be casual and unconcerned to the outside world. It seems that my abilities have not improved because I am lazy and not paying enough attention. In fact, Ji Sheng’s talent and potential are just that. Ever since the dispute between Su Chen and Tiangang City, Ji Sheng has been resentful towards Elder Shangxuan. For Ji Sheng, being in power today is more like a show of strength to his elders. Show your abilities and tell the elders in Tiangang City how poor their vision is. Standing in the center of the martial arts field, Ji Sheng began to promote his ideas. Give everyone a promise and act in a proper manner. After he finished speaking, everyone around the martial arts field looked at Ji Sheng and still had a bad expression on their face.
He had said everything that needed to be said, but Ji Sheng still had some brains. He knew very well that such empty words would not impress anyone. Coupled with his previous sloppy appearance, he gave people an unreliable feeling. Not to mention the internal sect of Tiangang City. It's the people in the city who mainly know him a little bit. Ji Sheng would lack trust in him. At this moment, Ji Sheng picked up a walking stick and inserted it into the stone in front of him. He began to speak with a serious expression. “I know that you are dissatisfied with me, Ji Sheng, and think that I have led Tiangang City to its downfall. But please look carefully and think about it seriously. Isn’t this Master Shangxuan’s fault? He tried his best to protect Su Chen, and remained stubborn even when he provoked a major sect of the Jin State. Can I, Ji Sheng, be blamed for the predicament that Tiangang City is facing today?" There was a hint of sharpness in Ji Sheng's eyes as he looked up at everyone. “I know Su Chen has some abilities. This disciple used to study under me. I know what he is like. In the past, I, Ji Sheng, looked down on him and underestimated that kid. But no matter how excellent or powerful he is. At most, it’s about the same as I was twenty years ago, right? He should be at the sixth level of Mountain Furnace Realm now.
Given ten years, he would have become a fifth-grade talent with his extraordinary talent. If he is given another thirty years, he will be able to reach the pinnacle of his talent. Forty years have passed since the beginning. Do we have to keep fighting with Wulan Villa for these forty years? He has made many contributions to Tiangang City, but is it worth it? Besides, if we give him ten years, he will probably be much worse than I, Ji Shengzhi, am today. Su Chen is not worth everyone's waiting and expectation. Even if he comes, what will happen?" After Ji Sheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire martial arts field seemed to have changed. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Chen could be known as a genius. But compared with adding the State of Jin, can this title of genius still be preserved? The surroundings were relatively quiet, and in the silence, Ji Sheng began to turn his attention to some people. "Ouyang Chuan, do you think what I said makes sense?" Ouyang Chuan was standing behind the crowd, but was still pointed out by Ji Sheng. Hearing his name being called, Ouyang Chuan took a few steps forward with a slight smile on his face. "Ji Sheng, don't look for any high-sounding excuses. Now that you have sold yourself out, stop saying that you are doing it for Tiangang City or for all of us. If you take over Tiangang City, will the interests of Tiangang City be your primary consideration when you think about things in the future? I'm afraid it all depends on the interests of the forces behind it, just you" Before Ouyang Chuan could finish his words, a powerful master from the Wulan Villa who was at the same time in the state of transformation had already enveloped him in a suppression force. The strength foundation of the Jin State's powerful warriors who have reached the state of transformation is much stronger than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty's warriors. What's more, Ouyang Chuan only has the strength of the fifth level of Xue Yi. In the face of the state of transformation, there isn't much that can be done to struggle. "Ouyang Chuan, your words are very reasonable. I really can't understand why our Tiangang City has to protect Su Chen. This will also damage many interests of Tiangang City. Just for a fifth-rank warrior ten years later? To put it bluntly, I, Ji Sheng, can make a bet with him. Ten years later, if he can beat me. It is okay for me, Ji Sheng, to give up the helm of Tiangang City to him." Ji Sheng raised his eyes and looked at everyone. This once sloppy man seemed to have a bit more arrogance today. Among the crowd, the insiders he had arranged in advance also began to set the pace.
More and more related arguments began to emerge. In fact, to put it more seriously, Ji Sheng was plotting a rebellion. Su Chen has become Ji Sheng's excuse to blame Master Shang Xuan. In fact, the major sects of the Great Zhou must make decisions independently. It is only natural to protect the disciples under the sect. Su Chen is the talented disciple of Tiangang City. If we just give up, which talented disciple will be willing to belong to Tiangang City in the future? Here, Ji Sheng only talked about the value of Su Chen as a disciple. Talk about Su Chen’s future and what he can bring to Tiangang City in the future. There was no mention of what Tiangang City would lose if they ignored the sect's talented disciples. If they can't even protect the genius disciples, then other ordinary disciples have no hope of getting the sect's protection. As the noises around him became increasingly chaotic, Ji Sheng smiled. From the current perspective, his arrangements and deployments are very effective. In the crowd, Su Chen heard this and a smile appeared on his face. This Mr. Ji Sheng still looks down on me. And he always has a mysterious confidence in himself, as if he has such superior talents. In his words, he belittled himself to the point of being worthless. Looking at so many people around him, Su Chen knew that he had to show off. My performance will be of great help to Master Shangxuan. I want to let so many people present know that my future as Su Chen is limitless. If you make friends with yourself, you will surely get countless benefits in the future. In the center of the martial arts field, Ji Sheng spoke again, preparing to make some summary remarks. “Actually, after thinking about it, I think what I said before might have been conservative. Ten years later, as long as Su Chen dares to come back. If I respond with my current strength, he can fight me to a draw. Then I, Ji Sheng, am willing to give up the helm position. I also hope that he has this ability and does not bring any trouble to Tiangang City." After saying this, Ji Sheng seemed to be ready to leave the martial arts arena. Almost everything that needs to be said has been said.
The next step is to be formally appointed and accept the position of helmsman. It was obvious that the people around still had a lot of disputes and no consensus. For Ji Sheng, these are acceptable. As long as they are not overwhelmingly against him. Just took two steps forward. Su Chen had already taken off his disguise and leapt to the center of the martial arts field. "Mr. Ji, ten years is a bit too long. Then why not have a competition today?" Just a few words, not loudly, made the entire martial arts field quiet in an instant. Many people were stunned when they saw Su Chen in the center of the martial arts field. Su Chen had offended Wulan Villa, a major sect in the Jin State. In order to find Su Chen before, Wulan Villa directly arranged people to search various cities in Da Zhou. That kind of arrogant behavior and the aura that no one dared to provoke had scared everyone. No one expected that Su Chen would dare to appear in front of everyone so blatantly. On the high platform, the eyes of the powerful master of the Wulan Villa lit up instantly. He was bored just now, but now he was slightly excited. "This person is Su Chen?" Hearing his question, Ji Sheng's confidants beside him nodded repeatedly. "Interesting, interesting~ I spent so much effort looking for him, and he was always hiding, but I didn't expect that he would show up today. I don’t know what’s in this young man’s mind~” In a moment, Mr. Ouyang jumped in front of Su Chen. He had just stood firm when Gu Feng, Gu Wei, and Senior Brother Wu Yi and the others came. He also stood in front of Su Chen, helping to shield him. "Go now! Immediately! The powerful master of Wulan Villa is on the high platform!" Ouyang Chuan's face was full of tension and anxiety. It's normal to feel anxious and worried, and there's nothing wrong with that. As long as Su Chen is caught by the people from Wulan Villa, his life will be in no control. It’s just that Mr. Ouyang is too optimistic. I can't escape by relying on them alone.
In addition to the people from Wulan Villa, there are also powerful people in the state of transformation arranged by the royal family of the Great Zhou. "Mr. Ouyang, dear friends. Please rest assured. If I didn't have the confidence, how could I dare to show up here?" After hearing what Su Chen said, Ouyang Chuan and others seemed to be slightly relieved. If Su Chen didn't have some confidence, why would he show up? After hiding for so long, didn't he just fail at the last moment? After some hesitation, Ouyang Chuan and his companions withdrew from the martial arts arena. But his expression was still somewhat serious, paying attention to everything in front of him. At this moment, Ji Sheng waved his hand and took out a long sword. With some leisurely steps, he walked back to the center of the martial arts field and stood in front of Su Chen. "It's interesting that you think ten years is a bit long. Is it because he has not been caught by Wulan Villa in this year, so he has gained some confidence? " Looking at Su Chen, Ji Sheng's face was indifferent. In the indifference, there seems to be some unintentional arrogance. From beginning to end, Ji Sheng never took Su Chen seriously. Not to mention, compared with Ji Sheng. Ji Sheng is twenty-two years older than Su Chen. He is of the same generation as Long Yunyun's mother. With more than twenty years of practice time, coupled with his own talent. Ji Sheng believes that he is definitely one of the top five strongest people below the level of transformation in Tiangang City. Except for a few elders in Tiangang City, most of the others are no match for Ji Sheng. It was a bit arrogant for him to take over the helm of Tiangang City, after all, he had not yet reached the realm of perfection. But when Su Chen came to challenge him, he was not afraid at all. “I have gained some confidence recently, so I would like to ask for your guidance, Mr. Ji. Looking back, I’m glad I didn’t work under Mr. Ji. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the confidence I have today.” Ji Sheng didn't seem annoyed at all when he heard these words. "Su Chen, you probably heard too much disparaging talk about me from other people. People around me are always talking about my shortcomings and problems. After talking so much, I ended up believing it myself.
But you have never thought that so many people say that I, Ji Sheng, am not good enough. Why doesn't anyone come to challenge me? There are so many hall masters in Tiangang City. Do you think they don’t want to surpass me in strength? If you had followed me obediently, at least you wouldn't have done these stupid things. I, Ji Sheng, will at least teach you how to accurately assess where your strength lies." As he spoke, Ji Sheng was already approaching Su Chen with the sword in his hand. With a helpless look on his face, he shook his head and walked closer. “Today’s lesson is the last lesson I, Ji Sheng, will give you. If I have the chance, I will be more careful when judging people. Don't think you understand me, Ji Sheng, just because you hear a few words from others. In the end, I couldn’t handle even three or two moves.” Suddenly, Ji Sheng swung the sword in his hand. His face remained casual. When Ji Sheng looked at Su Chen, his arrogance and confidence remained the same. The strength of the fifth-rank Xue Yi has been revealed, but this casual sword indeed lacks some pressure. Seeing this, Su Chen also responded with the long sword in his hand. The sharpness of the top-grade long sword seemed to suppress Ji Sheng. Ji Sheng, who was somewhat casual in the sword fight, actually felt a little exhausted. His originally nonchalant look now looked a little more serious. “It seems that he gained some benefits outside, and now that he has this top-grade weapon in his hand, he has gained more confidence. But these are not enough. Su Chen, aren't you very good at deceiving people? Use it today, and let me feel how well you have mastered it." When he was still under Ji Sheng's command, he participated in the competition among young disciples. In that competition, Su Chen used the Lin family's swordsmanship. He used the key points of the deception to defeat Hou Chenfei. It also made all the people in Tiangang City marvel and left a deep impression on them. As for Su Chen, the previous cheating methods had already evolved. The essence of Lin family swordsmanship lies in deceptive moves.
The key to a deception lies in the truth or falsehood. Su Chen has already gone deeper into both reality and illusion, so it would be no harm to use it to fight with Ji Sheng. The people watching around seemed to frown unconsciously. Ouyang Chuan and other people who wanted to help Su Chen had all kinds of plans in their minds. The first thing that came to my mind was to go find Master Shang Xuan. Although Master Shangxuan was injured, he could provide more help than these people. Just looking back, Ouyang Chuan had already discovered the problem. After Su Chen appeared, no one was allowed to leave the martial arts arena. Even Ji Sheng’s people were not allowed to leave the martial arts field, let alone those of them who wanted to tip off the information. The more Ouyang Chuan looked, the more panicked he became. Senior Brother Wu Yi, Senior Sister Yao Xiaoyu and the others are in much the same situation. Su Chen’s opponent in front of him is Ji Sheng. He is already a senior and has practiced for many more years. Ji Sheng is one of the most talented people in his generation. In the martial arts arena, Su Chen really did as Ji Sheng said. The long sword in his hand swung out, and the sword shadow lingered. Within the phantom, there are fierce and real moves. The real moves seemed extremely powerful, but in fact they were mixed with countless fake moves. Ji Sheng thought that if he got serious, he could quickly put an end to this farce. The sword in his hand moved like a dragon and attacked with one sword. In the midst of its fierceness, it really seemed as if a shadow of a swimming dragon appeared. The body movements and sword moves complement each other. With sharp eyes, Ji Sheng also felt that he had already seen through Su Chen's moves. After all, he is a junior. But when the swords came into contact, Ji Sheng felt something was wrong after just one glance. What he thought he had seen through was just another illusion left to him by Su Chen. Anyway, because of his confidence, he left a lot of loopholes. (End of this chapter)
