The female traitor ignored the sarcasm of the five men and said calmly, "You are not here for interrogation."
"How do you know?"
Xu Chong got up from the ground and sat down.
"If you don't wait for your body to adapt to the strength of the rules, you can only go down to the fourth level at best."
The woman continued, "You don't even know this, but you still want to continue. This proves that you are not here for interrogation... Who are you to Dou Tianyuan?"
Xu Chong did not answer, but narrowed his eyes and asked: "You all seem to be very clear about this? Have you all been down there?"
"idiot."
A prisoner who was standing a little further away sneered, "You are so stupid."
Xu Chong glanced at the man expressionlessly.
"I haven't been down there, but I've seen others go down there."
The female rebel seemed very patient, "Whether it's a prisoner, a prison visitor, or you Blood Robe Guards, you will stay on this floor for three days before going down. It's easy to see."
"I see……"
Xu Chong also understood.
It is very likely that in the seven levels of the Imperial Hell, as you go down a level, the strength of the rules increases and the gravity will also increase accordingly.
He didn't feel anything unusual when he went down from the first floor to the second floor because he had lived on the first floor for five days.
From the second floor to the third floor, and then to the fourth floor, he did not stop at all and continued to move downwards against the increasing gravity , which is why he staggered and fell.
After a pause, Xu Chong looked at the female traitor: "What do you need me to do?"
He is both a traitor and a death row prisoner.
He had both, but came to remind him that he was obviously a person of the court.
There is definitely a demand for it.
really.
A smile appeared on the face of the female traitor: "I will tell you in three days."
"Can."
Xu Chong sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.
"Hey, you are a court official, and you want to make a deal with a death row prisoner or a traitor?"
"That's right, he has even less bottom line than us."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the Blood Robe Guards are really rotten to the core."
“…”
All kinds of sneers and disdain.
Xu Chong turned a deaf ear to everything.
The same goes for that female traitor. She should have gotten used to it a long time ago.
Three days passed in a flash.
The spiritual source on the panel finally generated a little bit during these three days.
It is equivalent to restoring it to the standard of the Imperial Observatory's blessed land.
"Sure enough, the further down we go, the faster the spiritual energy is generated."
Xu Chong nodded secretly and opened his eyes.
At this moment, he could feel that his body had completely adapted to the fourth level of gravity, and walking, sitting or lying down would no longer be affected in any way.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Xu Chong looked at the female traitor.
When the others heard the noise, they all came out of the hut and looked over curiously.
Death, they are definitely going to die.
But it would still be very interesting if you could witness the shocking conspiracy of the traitors on death row before you die.
However.
The female rebel raised her lips and glanced at the other five people one by one, "Help me tear their mouths apart."
"That's what I was going to do."
Xu Chong stood up and laughed.
"Are you crazy?!"
"We are all important prisoners, and there are still many secrets that have not been revealed."
"You dare to torture me without authorization, aren't you afraid that Dou Tianyuan will peel off your skin?"
"Asshole..."
Several people were shocked .
It’s not that I’m afraid.
Those who were able to be imprisoned in the fourth level and survive are either really stubborn and have not confessed clearly, or people outside think that they have not confessed clearly.
No matter which one, they had already experienced all the punishment methods of the Blood-Clothed Guards.
They really don't care about the mere physical pain.
But what they couldn't understand was how this Blood-Clothed Guard had such a guts that he dared to make a deal with the rebels in front of them and even help the rebels tear their own mouths apart?
"Say a few more words, and you'll have nothing to say in a little while."
Xu Chong walked without stopping, towards the man who had cursed him the most fiercely in the past few days.
"Humph, here, no one is better than anyone else. If you have the guts, come in."
The man took a stance and sneered, "I'm going to die anyway, so it's a good deal if I can kill a red-skinned dog before I die."
Indeed, without strength, we are all ordinary people and there is not much difference.
It’s just a matter of who has better physical fitness and who has greater strength.
But Xu Chong was not frightened at all and stepped straight in.
Bang!
The prisoner punched Xu Chong in the chest, and Xu Chong punched the prisoner in the eye.
The two of them took several steps back at the same time.
"Come again!"
The prisoner roared and rushed forward.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Every punch hits the flesh.
Xu Chong began to get hurt.
Bleeding from the mouth and nose, redness and swelling of the face.
But his eyes became colder and colder.
This was his first real battle after traveling through time, a battle with someone who was no weaker than himself.
It was only then that he understood.
It turns out that if you only have flesh and blood as a weapon, it would be so difficult to hit another flesh and blood body.
Judging from the time, the people in Yongzhou should be almost wiped out, right?
Xu Chong thought, the more he beat them, the more ferociously and desperately they would fight.
A moment later.
The prisoner was pinned to the ground by Xu Chong.
"Mad! Mad!"
"I'm a doomed man, but I'm not as crazy as you!"
"You fucking ..."
Bang!
Before he could finish his words, a punch hit him hard on the mouth.
Then came the second punch, the third punch...
Xu Chong stopped only when he could no longer utter a single word. He stood up, panting, and stumbled towards the second person.
The rest of the people were watching the whole process.
The female rebel was a little surprised.
The other four looked unhappy.
"You just finished a fight. If you come in, you'll die."
The second target said coldly.
"There is no such possibility."
Xu Chong stepped in.
The second battle begins.
And this time, Xu Chong won very easily.
In just a few breaths, the battle was over.
right.
Under these rules, there is no realm at all, and martial arts, secret techniques, and side skills cannot be used.
But he also has tricks from another world.
Although he had not systematically learned any internal or external martial arts, he still remembered a lot of common grappling and fighting theories.
And in the first battle, he gradually mastered these theories.
It is so pleasing to the eye when used at this time.
After a few rounds, the battle was over.
"…This is a trick used by ordinary people. I didn't expect you to be able to do this."
The female rebel was a little surprised, "Why didn't you use it just now?"
“I was just studying.”
Xu Chong answered and walked towards the third target.
After a moment, the number of beings capable of making sounds in the fourth level of the Imperial Hell decreased again.
"That's enough."
The female rebel said, "You can go now."
"I said...I was planning to do this."
Xu Chong panted heavily, but kept walking. "They almost killed me."
"Mad, mad!"
The fourth target cursed fiercely, "We are important prisoners. What if you win? We will be questioned when we get out!"
"You are so naive."
The female rebel sneered, "Do you think the court really can't make us explain?"
"What's the meaning?"
The fourth target's expression changed.
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just the Ministry of Justice's Dao Instrument, the Heart-Searching Rock, can even ask questions about your entire 18 generations of ancestors."
The female rebel said coldly, "It's just that we are not valuable enough for them to use this Taoist weapon."
“…”
The man stopped talking.
The great consumption of physical strength made the fourth battle last a little longer.
Inevitably, Xu Chong was hit a few times, with blood oozing from his mouth and nose.
The female rebel did not try to dissuade him anymore and just watched Xu Chong walk towards the fifth person quietly.
The fifth person stood near the fence gate and said sarcastically, "Come on, come in quickly. I haven't tasted meat for a long time. Today is a good time to try some meat. You have a delicate skin and tender flesh. You should be good to eat raw."
Xu Chong walked closer and looked at the fifth person across the low fence.
"Why, you don't dare?"
The man said with disdain, "If you don't dare, then go away. Go wherever you want to go. You are like a dog, so arrogant..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Chong suddenly reached out and grabbed the other person's collar, pulling him out hard.
This sudden change caught the man off guard, and he lost his balance and fell over the fence.
Instinctively, one foot took a step forward.
"!!!"
The man's pupils suddenly contracted and he tried to forcefully retract his legs, but it was too late.
——Buzz!
Without any warning, a huge force came.
The man flew backwards, spurting blood in the air, and was dying when he landed on the ground.
"You're overacting. Don't you know that fighting also requires strategy?"
Xu Chong clapped his hands.
"What's the meaning?"
The female rebel asked curiously.
"From beginning to end, this person didn't show any emotion at all. Even when he cursed, he was absolutely confident... as if he was the boss of this floor."
Xu Chong said as he walked towards the entrance of the fifth floor, "It is obvious that he is a Jade Pool Seed Daoist. His physical body is stronger than that of an ordinary person. Here, he should be able to have a power equivalent to twenty or so acupoints."
It has a strength equivalent to that of twenty acupoints, and is 20 to 30 percent greater than that of an ordinary person.
And these 20% to 30% are enough to decide the outcome.
So we can only use our wits to defeat him.
"I see."
The female traitor suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Xu Chong with even more surprise.
Is this Blood-Clothed Guard, whose identity is unknown, actually observing everyone from beginning to end?
"I'm leaving."
Xu Chong sank into the vortex without even looking back.
The scene suddenly changed.
Even though Xu Chong had adapted to the fourth floor for three days, when he first appeared on the fifth floor, he was still pressed down so hard that he almost fell down.
"If I hadn't been warned three days ago, I might have died here."
Xu Chong stood up and looked around.
The area of ​​the fifth floor is smaller, and the scene is completely different from that of the fourth floor.
From a cloud lake, it turned into a lake.
Dozens of large cages were floating on the lake.
The cage is made of the same material, with five bars and a circular hole the size of a washbasin at the bottom.
Among the only three people, one had just fished out a few waterweed-like plants from the hole and had a delighted look on his face.
If nothing unexpected happens, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating will all be solved through this hole.
Xu Chong took a look and then sat cross-legged on the lake, waiting quietly.
Compared to the five chatterboxes on the previous floor, the three old men on this floor seemed much quieter. Although they were all paying attention to Xu Chong, no one started a conversation.
Time goes by day by day.
In just two days, the panel generated 1 spiritual source.
To be on the safe side, Xu Chong stayed on the fifth floor for six days, increasing his spiritual source to 56 points.
Two days and a little later, it is already better than the Imperial Observatory.
There are sixth and seventh floors behind.
Xu Chong looked determined and stood up.
The three prisoners looked surprised and talked in low voices.
"Is it really going down?"
"Is there anyone still on the sixth floor?"
"There shouldn't be any left, right? I've been here for ten years and I haven't seen anyone go down there."
"Uh...if there's no one on the sixth floor, is he going to the seventh floor?"
"Although I can't believe it, this should be the case..."
"Isn't the seventh floor a place of death?"
"Who said it was a place of death? Dou Tianyuan must have been there before, and he was fine."
"Dou Tianyuan is at least a ninth-level golden body. Look at his age, can he compare with Dou Tianyuan?"
"That's right... Then what is he going to do there?"
“I don’t know.”
“…”
Death place?
Xu Chong didn't care.
If it could help him collect spiritual energy faster, he would give it a try even if it meant death.
then.
Under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, Xu Chong stepped into the vortex.
…
…
Yongzhou, Fenggu County.
The raging fire spread throughout the entire county town and its surrounding areas.
The air was filled with the aroma of burnt meat.
Millions of refugees, not one escaped, not one survived.
The 800,000-strong relief team was reduced to only about 100,000 people.
Nearly 700,000 soldiers and officers, along with millions of refugees, were slowly transformed into nutrients in the fire and remained on this land.
It is conceivable that in a few years, the area around Fenggu County will become the most fertile place in the entire Daqing, supplying a steady supply of grain to the imperial court.
Lou Youzhi sat upright in the carriage, the flickering firelight illuminating his expressionless features.
The war lasted for seven days, and he watched for seven days.
Seeing the refugees filled with hatred, even if their limbs were cut off, they would wriggle like maggots and approach the officers and soldiers.
Seeing the officers and soldiers killing people in all directions, they went from confusion, to anger, to bloodthirsty, and then to the collapse of military morale.
If he had not been stimulated by death at the last moment and had not made a desperate move, the outcome of this battle might have been uncertain.
"For seven whole days and nights, until all the refugees were dead, that method of control had not yet failed."
"This is definitely not something that can be done by external objects, nor can it be done by orthodox methods or side techniques."
"so."
"Does the legendary magical power really exist?"
Lou Youzhi recalled the rumors he had heard.
Kung Fu, true Kung Fu, orthodox methods, martial arts, secret martial arts, and side skills.
These are names that appeared after the ancient times were overthrown.
Before that, there was no such detailed division.
Supernatural powers are the product of ancient times and belong neither to the orthodox system nor to the unorthodox system.
Because the time is too long, the method of inheritance and the method of obtaining are unknown, and it has always been regarded as just a rumor.
But now it seems that this is more than just a rumor.
"Since it is possible to bewitch millions of people at lower realms or even those without any realm, then can it bewitch... one or two strongest people?"
Lou Youzhi was in deep thought.
At this time, a middle-aged scholar walked outside the carriage and said, "Sir, may I ask what should we do with the food we brought?"
"food……"
Lou Youzhi came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's burn them together."
"Uh, burned?"
The middle-aged scholar was shocked when he heard this.
Millions of shi of grain is not a small number.
Although the value will not be too high, it will take a lot of effort to raise it.
It would be such a pity to just burn it like this.
"Your Majesty owes them this."
Lou Youzhi said.
"This...but the food is our own..."
The middle-aged scholar hesitated to speak.
"Yes, we got the food ourselves."
Lou Youzhi narrowed his eyes, "So, now His Majesty owes us."
Such outrageous words sounded like heavenly music to the middle-aged Confucian scholar.
Surprise, shock, and desire burst out from his pupils.
"I understand!"
The middle-aged scholar bowed deeply.
In this way, millions of stones of grain were thrown into the sea of ​​fire.
The fire grew rapidly, flames shot up into the sky, roaring silently.
