The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 242 Equality
Although Emperor Jianwen had made up his mind, he would not really use what Ji Tianrui gave him on himself.

Emperor Jianwen did not trust Ji Tianrui. Ji Tianrui had never shown him anything that could win his trust. If she said she really wanted to be loyal to Emperor Jianwen, Emperor Jianwen himself would not believe it.

Things have changed and people have changed. Even the Xiaoling Guards formed by Taizu himself had to be forced into a desperate situation before they dared to follow him in the rebellion, not to mention Ji Tianrui, the bloodless and tearless witch.

Therefore, the action of Emperor Jianwen swallowing the poisonous insect was actually fake.

As soon as the poisonous insect entered his mouth, he wrapped it with his true Qi, and at the same time secretly observed Ji Tianrui to see if she had any unusual movements.

boom!
boom!
boom!
In a small space, a series of explosions sounded.

Li Miao and Ji Tianrui were fighting with the emperor.

Each of them had an injured arm, and the emperor, in shock and anger, attacked with all his might. The two men immediately showed signs of weakness, but they fought desperately to hold on to the emperor, preventing him from getting close to Emperor Jianwen.

It was as if they really placed all their hopes of a comeback on Emperor Jianwen.

Emperor Jianwen was still worried, but he saw that the emperor was about to break through the obstruction of the two men and would be in front of him in two or three moves.

He had no time to hesitate.

Emperor Jianwen looked at Ji Tianrui deeply and attached the insect to his Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming.

In an instant, something strange happened.

A subtle stream of alien energy came out from the insect's mouthparts and entered Emperor Jianwen's meridians.

The true Qi that Emperor Jianwen left in the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming began to boil violently the moment it came into contact with this alien true Qi.

Then, it exploded with a loud bang!

boom--

The Qi that remained in his meridians was assimilated the moment it came into contact with this alien Qi, and traveled along the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming to the Heart Meridian, and then spread throughout the body.
At the first moment, Emperor Jianwen secretly thought that something was wrong, thinking that he had finally fallen into Ji Tianrui's trap.

But the next moment, Emperor Jianwen no longer had this idea.

Because as this alien true qi blended perfectly with his true qi, his body "woken up".

What is it like to become a "Jie Zi"?
Before becoming a Jiezi, the true qi and strength, the moves and the inner strength are like water and oil in a cup, clearly separated. In order not to go astray and to perform the moves, the cup must be held steady, without the water and oil mixing or spilling a drop.

Trembling with fear and treading on thin ice, not daring to cross the line even a little.

But after becoming a Jie Zi, his true Qi, strength, moves and internal power all blended together perfectly without any barriers.

Emperor Jianwen felt like an old man carrying a heavy load, finally unloading the burden and straightening his back. His Qi and strength were as good as his arms and fingers, without any lag.

At the same time, the nature and life are combined, and "Sumeru", "Vajra" and "Silence" also become stronger.

Four routes into one.

The emperor slapped out with his palm, forcing Li Miao and Ji Tianrui to retreat, but he never looked at them again. His eyes were fixed firmly on Emperor Jianwen, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip from it.

His greatest support was broken.

Emperor Jianwen reached the same level as him.

Although Emperor Jianwen had just broken through, his realm was unstable, and he had not created his own martial arts, he was not an "illusion master" like the emperor.

When Emperor Chengzu was fighting against the rebellion, he personally participated in the battle and slaughtered all the celestial beings under Emperor Chengzu, causing a river of blood. Yin Ruihua was so frightened that he couldn't recover for more than a hundred years. He was definitely not lacking in experience in life-and-death battles.

One side's realm is lacking, and the other side's state of mind is lacking.

Li Miao and Ji Tianrui were also watching eagerly from the sidelines.

The situation has tilted towards Emperor Jianwen.

Seeing that Emperor Jianwen had finally broken through, Li Miao and Ji Tianrui stopped pestering him and quickly retreated, leaving the battle.

Emperor Jianwen glanced at the two of them and then turned his gaze back to the emperor.

The emperor also shifted most of his attention away from the two of them and stared at Emperor Jianwen.

"Jianwen Jun, you really dare to use this person's methods."

The emperor said slowly.

"When facing life and death, if you are as hesitant as you are, you will only make others laugh."

Emperor Jianwen said.

He no longer looked like a mummy, and his voice was no longer hoarse and sluggish. He had regained the young and cold voice he had more than a hundred years ago.

"You lose. 'He' loses, too."

"His descendants can't even survive until the day I die."

The emperor's expression became increasingly gloomy. He moved his feet slightly.

"You can't leave."

"You didn't listen to what they said just now. Then I will explain it more simply and clearly."

Jianwenjun said indifferently.

"If you think of running away, you will only die faster at my hands."

The emperor stopped walking, his face gloomy.

His thoughts were revealed by Emperor Jianwen.

Unlike Emperor Jianwen, he was not without a way out. After leaving the imperial mausoleum, he was still the master of the country and could mobilize the tributes and imperial guards at will. As long as he risked the leakage of his skills and mobilized the army and all the tributes to come here, even Emperor Jianwen would be killed.

However, since he came here alone, he had actually cut off his own retreat.

In the martial arts competition, if you don’t win, you will die.

The more you fear death, the more likely you are to die.

Not to mention that "silence and enlightenment" is a state determined by the mind. The weaker the state of mind, the more fragile the illusion.

Just talking about the moves, if the mind is weak, the power will immediately be greatly reduced. Even if the fight was originally evenly matched, the winning trend will be tilted accordingly.

This principle was something that any veteran in the martial arts world could explain clearly, but no one could explain it to the emperor.

It was not until Emperor Jianwen reminded him that he came to his senses.

The emperor immediately put aside his weak thoughts, and with his true energy surging, he stared intently into the eyes of Emperor Jianwen.

Emperor Jianwen actually nodded.

"That's good."

"bring it on."

Emperor Jianwen slowly clenched his fist.

"This has trapped me for one hundred and forty-two years. The bet between me and him..."

"It's time to end today!"

The two figures suddenly disappeared.

Then, they collided suddenly!
boom! ! ! !

At the same time, the illusion of "mountains of corpses and seas of blood" originally created by the emperor was also slowly distorted.

The corpses turned into blue bricks, the weapons slowly transformed into lampstands, and then the shapes changed back in a winding and twisting manner, over and over again, making people dizzy and almost nauseous.

After Li Miao and Ji Tianrui withdrew from the battle circle, they stood aside on their own.

No matter how many methods the two of them had, they could only perfect two paths. There was an almost insurmountable gap in strength between them and the two emperors who had combined all four paths.

Today's victory or defeat seemed to have nothing to do with them.

“He really dares to use it.”

Taking advantage of the sound of the two emperors' fight to cover it up, Li Miao finally stopped making eye contact with Ji Tianrui and said with a sneer.

"Even if it's a leaf, I would look closely to see if it can grow legs. He dared to put the insect you dug out into his mouth."

"People's character is a matter of opinion."

Ji Tianrui said with a chuckle.

"If this poisonous insect is given to the emperor, he will never use it, because he will never let his life be threatened. On the contrary, Emperor Jianwen will not hesitate at the critical moment of life and death and will definitely use my poisonous insect."

"So, the second step is also completed."

Li Miao looked at the two who were fighting and said calmly.

"Your ability to scheme against others is not inferior to your martial arts."

"Mr. Li, thank you for your compliment."

Ji Tianrui smiled sweetly.

"We can't intervene now. Let's wait and let the two majesties fight for a while."

"The next step will be life or death."
