(Ten thousand-character mega chapter, requesting votes)_3 Lu Luanli mocked him for having a gambler’s temperament, actually putting all his belongings on the line.
The outcome of this battle would either be him annihilating Wen Tiance and Cloud Crane Saber Yienyang’s entire families and clans, or Chu Xisheng losing his canal shares and fleeing West Mountain in disgrace.
Winning would be fine, at least paying off the debt wouldn’t be an issue.
Should he lose, everything would be lost.
Chu Xisheng didn’t feel like he was gambling.
Chu Xisheng looked to his left at Chu Yunyun, then to his right at Lu Luanli.
He then gazed far away, looking at the undercover agents and rebel troops training in the outer courtyard, and that pure-hearted Zhoou Liangchen.
Chu Xisheng thought, with these hidden experts supporting him, it would be hard to lose—
On the night of February 7th, nearing the twenty-day deadline, the government warehouse in West Mountain Town only received thirty thousand dan of rice and forty thousand taels of Demon Silver.
These taxes all came from within West Mountain Town and surrounding areas.
Beyond a three-li range, not even a single coin or grain was received.
Morning of February 8th.
In the quiet room of the Chu Mansion’s backyard, Chu Yunyun sat cross-legged with the Rebellious God Flagpole placed flat on her lap.
In front of her was Chu Xisheng, sitting on the ground half-naked, his entire body burning with white flames.
At this moment, crackling sounds like frying soybeans constantly came from Chu Xisheng’s bones.
If one looked closely, they would see a faint white metallic sheen around the texture of his skin.
The white fire was Chu Yunyun’s “Defying God Fire,” while the metallic sheen was the Outer Firmament condensed by Chu Xisheng.
Chu Xisheng had already used the eleven Fourth Transition Golden Body Pills given by Cao Xuan and had reached the third layer of the “Nine Refinements of Extreme Essence Purple Gold Body” three days ago, now able to preliminarily condense Vigorous Force.
The white fire burned on his body for about half a moment, and Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but frown, his face nearly twisted with pain.
This Defying God Fire had burned into his marrow, altering the composition of all his flesh and five internal organs and six hollow organs, indicating the immense pain Chu Xisheng was enduring.
Just as Chu Xisheng was enduring with all his might, Chu Yunyun withdrew her hand from his back, making all the white fire disappear.
Chu Xisheng’s whole body relaxed, the excruciating pain fading away.
There was a hint of complaint on Chu Xisheng’s face: “I could have endured a bit longer.”
He wasn’t a masochist; the reason he willingly endured this excruciating pain was because the enhancement effects of this “Defying God Fire” were visibly evident.
Chu Yunyun had burned him for just twenty days, and Chu Xisheng’s sword speed had already increased by ten percent.
Not to mention the enhancement of his Golden Body Dominator by the “Defying God Fire.”
Chu Yunyun ignored him, held the Rebellious God Flagpole, and left the room, casually throwing the ancient divine weapon into a corner of the courtyard.
“Everything in moderation, keeping the ‘Defying God Fire’ in your body for too long won’t do you any good.
There is a long way to go; we need to proceed step by step.
Don’t always think you can gulp down a fatty meal all at once.”
She glanced at Chu Xisheng, implying something.
This guy was a typical example of wanting to get results all at once.
He wanted not only a canal but also to swallow the few most powerful local tyrants in West Mountain Town.
And the seven hundred gang members of West Mountain Hall.
Speaking of individual combat and armament, they were not inferior to the Northern Border Army.
However, Chu Yunyun didn’t have the right to criticize Chu Xisheng, as she too had a burning desire to reach the peak again, to avenge herself and the comrades who had fallen in battle on Luofeng Mountain.
So Chu Yunyun never interfered and was glad to see it happen.
Chu Xisheng then pulled out his Demon Pattern Cicada Wing Blade and slashed his own arm.
He used forty percent of his power and thirty percent of his sword speed, only to leave a white mark on his right arm.
Chu Xisheng was still not satisfied: “This Vigorous Force is still not enough.
If the opponent’s sword speed is slightly faster, my Vigorous Force won’t be able to react in time.”
Chu Yunyun glanced at the white mark and couldn’t help shaking her head: “Cultivating the Triple External Skills to this extent is already remarkable.
If you can get better armor, even Martial Cultivators below the Seventh Rank will have a hard time breaking your Vigorous Force.
At least now, ordinary hidden weapons can’t do anything to you.
Besides ‘Pure Yang,’ what more do you want since you don’t have any cross-training dominator talents?”
In addition to ‘Pure Yang,’ Chu Xisheng’s bloodline talents included only ‘Divine Sorrow’ and ‘Burial Sky,’ barely related to cross-training dominator skills.
No, Chu Xisheng’s ‘Time Instant Shadow Body’ could count too.
Once this talent awakened to an advanced level, it might condense the Power of Time, integrating into the Golden Body Dominator, achieving true undying and Vajra Unbreakable.
However, Chu Yunyun estimated it would take until at least the Tenth Rank Time Instant Shadow Body.
Chu Xisheng merely chuckled, thinking it would be best if no one could harm him, and with one swing of his blade, his foes would perish.
—To be invincible in both offense and defense, like Martial Fierce Heavenly King!
It would be even better with the sustainability of Dominating Martial King.
It was said that in a past Divine Tribulation, Martial Fierce Heavenly King was worn out in a battle with multiple powerful gods.
—Hmm, also mastering the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade would mean not fearing group battles.
Like Blood Vengeance Blade Lord, who cut down all the descending gods.
It would be perfect to add an unrivaled escape skill, becoming a flawless six-dimensional warrior.
While Chu Xisheng was delightfully scheming, Chu Yunyun’s expression suddenly changed, looking towards the main courtyard gate.
She sensed Liu Ruoxi walking towards the main courtyard.
This young lady, with her short hair and tight-fitting leather armor, looked imposing as she arrived at the main courtyard gate.
Her face was solemn as she bowed towards the closed door: “Hall Master, all the altar masters and vice altar masters have assembled, awaiting in the Outer Hall.”
