The Monk

Chapter 1,069 Selling a House

But how could the master's stabbing sword be so easily avoided? The sword in the air emitted a dazzling light, turned around automatically, and continued to pursue the city lord. Because the speed is so fast, from a distance, it seems as if God has struck a lightning bolt that can turn, but it will only hit the city lord.

This is the battle between masters in the transformation stage. They attack with all their strength and never hold back.

The city lord sighed softly. It should have been a soft sound that no one could hear, but his sigh was clearly heard by everyone in the military field. As the sigh sounded, the ground of the military field suddenly lifted up, It was like a carpet being turned over, or like waves rising from the flat ground, and the yellow soil stood up high to block the attack of the sword.

Although the man in black's sword was powerful, it could not penetrate this layer of soil that did not look too thick and was trapped in it. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black held his hands together, raised his thumb, index and middle fingers forward, hugged his ring finger and little finger, and stabbed the sword in the direction of the flying direction, shouting: "Broken." The sword caught in the mud wall received extra boost and roared loudly, as loud as a dragon's roar, then broke out of the ground and stabbed the city lord.

The city lord just stood quietly at this time. Although he used the power of Black Rock City to temporarily suppress the man in black, he did not want to kill him. Seeing the flying sword stabbing again, the city lord just waved his hand slightly, and the soil in the military field instantly turned into a living thing, and a huge earth hand quickly grabbed the flying sword.

The flying sword was sharp and pierced the earthen hand, but then a second earthen hand grabbed it, and then a third one, and finally caught the flying sword, blocking the fierce attack of the man in black again. At this time, looking at the military field again, the ground was full of tall natives, standing quietly, waiting for the city lord's order to attack the men in black.

The city lord whispered: "Let's go." It seemed that he didn't want to offend the Guo Cheng Black Lao, but actually wanted to let the man in black go.

Hearing this, the man in black looked fiercely at the city lord behind the soil soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "They are just some soil and stones. I have the power to break the sky, but I can't break a bunch of stones?" As he spoke, his body flew away. He stood up, held the gesture just now with both hands, flew forward, and suddenly flew into his own sword.

The sword gained all the strength of the man in black and immediately became much stronger. In a blink of an eye, it strangled more than a hundred natives around him and turned them into clay again.

Seeing this, the city lord said quietly: "It is easy to break the sky, but it is not easy to break the soil like mine." After saying this, he saw the natives in the military field shatter into pieces at the same time, and then flew straight towards the city lord, tightly Sticking to his body, piece after piece, layer after layer, in just the blink of an eye, these countless pieces of dirt turned the city owner into a clay figure.

The military exercise field is huge, and the splashing mud may not weigh tens of thousands of tons. However, when these tens of thousands of tons or even more mud stick to the city lord, it seems to turn into a gauze, only lightly covering the city lord's body. His body didn't get any bigger, and he still stood quietly, expressionlessly looking at the flying sword in the air.

At this point, it was time for both sides to strike the last blow. Feijian disappeared in an instant, and then he saw tiny marks appearing one after another on the city lord's body. They were densely packed and he didn't know how many there were. The old ones were not gone, but new ones appeared again, and they were quickly spread. All over the city lord’s body.

These marks were made by flying swords. Countless attacks were blocked by a layer of gauze-like soil, leaving behind many small marks, making it impossible to make any further progress.

Despite the fierce attack of the flying sword, the city lord just stood still and stabbed it. After a while, he said softly: "Just come here." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to copy the flying sword, which was invisible and traceless. Copy it in your hand. The city lord held the flying sword and looked down to see that he still had no murderous intention. He exerted force on his hand and whispered: "Come out."

His grip was so powerful that he forced the man in black out of the sword and fell to the ground in a panic.

The city lord glanced at him and said in a low voice: "If I don't kill you, I will teach you a lesson." After saying this, a dazzling light burst out from the city lord's hand, quickly scattering outwards, stabbing everyone outside the venue. Turn your head and close your eyes, or raise your hands to cover. After a moment, the light dissipated, and the fierce and sharp sword no longer existed. Not even a bit of dregs was left, and it disappeared into the invisible.

The magic weapon that the man in black relied on was destroyed, and other attack methods were in vain. Standing in the field, his expression changed several times, and finally he slightly cupped his hands to the city lord, without saying a word, turned around and flew away.

Seeing him walking away, the city lord raised his arms, and all the gauze-like soil on his body was peeled off and quickly filled the military training field. After a while, the city lord returned to his original appearance, and the military training field also showed its original appearance. Except for the fact that there is only one man in black missing, everything seems to be the same as before the fight.

The city lord looked at the tens of thousands of people watching and shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "We watch the excitement once a year, and I will ask you to collect the spirit stones next year." After speaking, he walked towards the city gate.

Zhang Wen was amused by these words and thought that this city lord was a bit interesting. From the city lord's demeanor during the fight and the way he dealt with the enemy, to the nonsense he said after the fight, he was very impressed, and he developed a good impression of this ordinary-looking city lord.

This battle was very short, only thirty breaths of time, and several words were said during it. After the battle, the most lively place was the gambling stalls located outside the military exercise ground. Many people gathered around to claim the fruits of victory, including Zhang Ai.

Although it was the spirit stone gambling money that Zhang Wen paid for, and although it was Zhang Wen's victory as the city lord, Taohua brought it up, so she openly stole the fruits of victory and ordered Zhang Wen to exchange the gambling tickets.

Zhang Pa, the clerk, had long been subdued by the female power of Taohua, and came to collect the spirit stones in a dejected manner. Because there were more people who pressured the city lord, Zhang Pa received a total of 290 spirit stones, including the 200 capital.

Zhang Pa received the spirit stones and returned to the beast cart to sit down. Heizi, who was standing beside him, asked curiously: "Who is in the car?" Zhang Pa said in a calm voice: "Female relatives." Heizi said "Oh" to show that he understood, and then said: "The city lord is very powerful, that mud armor is more powerful than my armor."

Armor? Zhang Pa looked at Heizi's skin with a metallic luster. Could this skin be compared with the city lord's mud wall? What if it was compared with his own bones? Thinking about it for a while, whether it was the city lord's mud wall or Heizi's so-called armor, none of them were as strong as his own bones. After all, their cultivation was there. One was a god-level eighth-level master, and the other two were only at the level of transformation. There was too much difference between them and there was no comparison. He shook his head and said nothing, and drove the beast cart home.

Heizi didn't leave. He stood there and thought about the battle carefully. After thinking for a quarter of an hour, he was sure that he couldn't defeat the city lord no matter what method he used. He felt a little disappointed, sighed softly, and walked back home.

Zhang Pa didn't care what Heizi thought, and drove the animal cart all the way back to the yard. Just after closing the gate, Taohua jumped out of the cart, spread out her beautiful white and tender hands and said, "Give it to me." Zhang Pa sighed and threw two hundred and ninety spiritual stones over. Taohua was very happy to take the spiritual stones, and first gave half to Chaolu: "Everyone who sees it has a share." Then he said to Zhang Pa: "Next time there is such a thing, you must bet more."

It's over. A brand new gambler has been cultivated, and he is a robber-style gambler who doesn't even return the borrowed principal. Zhang Pa shook his head helplessly, first untied the reins of the two unicorns, and then hurried to the front yard to rest.

As he got along with Taohua for a long time, he became more and more good at being lazy. I was lucky today. I was lazy from the end of the fight in the morning until the evening, and I didn't see Taohua come to bother me. When the sun was setting, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Zhang Pa sent out his consciousness and knew it was Heizi, so he went to open the door and welcome him in. But Heizi didn't enter, and stood outside the door to tell him his intention. Heizi came to say goodbye to him, saying that he would temporarily leave Black Stone City and return to his hometown to gain experience again. When he has achieved something, he will challenge the city lord again. This child's dream is really far-reaching, and he must be the city lord. Zhang Pa felt that Heizi seemed to have something to say after sighing, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he asked, "Is there anything?" Heizi blushed, nodded and said, "I have something to trouble you." As he said that, he looked back at his own home. Zhang Pa immediately understood that if Heizi left Black Stone City, this courtyard would be useless. There is a rule in Black Stone City that if a house is vacant for a month, it will be taken back by the city lord and sold again. Heizi naturally didn't want his spirit stones to go to waste. Even if he sold it at a low price, he could get some spirit stones back to buy some elixirs and magic tools to improve his cultivation. But he was anxious to go back to his hometown to practice, so he wanted to trouble Zhang Pa to sell it for him.

Zhang Pa said, "How many spirit stones did you buy this yard for? Put it in my name for now, and I can sell it slowly in the future."

There is also a rule in Black Stone City. No matter how rich you are, no matter how powerful you are, and no matter how many people there are, each family can only own one house in the city, and the difference is at most the size of the house. All Zhang Pa can do is to sell it for him, and he must find a seller within one month, otherwise the house will be vacant for one month and will also be taken back by the City Lord's Mansion.

Heizi was deeply moved when he heard this, and thanked him repeatedly. He went to the City Lord's Mansion with Zhang Pa to complete the transaction procedures and lowered the price a little, fearing that Zhang Pa would suffer a loss. This made Zhang Pa feel that this person was good, and he thought: not all cultivators are selfish and bad people, there are also many good people.

After the formalities were completed, Heizi said a few more words of thanks, bowed and said goodbye, and went back to continue his training. Zhang Pa had an extra job, selling houses.

The problem was that Zhang Pa was lazy and didn't care much about money. He just left the house there and didn't care about it. He thought that at most the city lord would take it back, but it would only cost him some spiritual stones, which was not a big deal.

But even though he thought so, he couldn't resist the kindness of others, so he had to be busy.

When he went to the city lord's mansion to handle the formalities, he was seen by many people, including a guard who was intimidated by him when he came to search the house a few days ago. The guard learned that Zhang Pa was going to sell the house for someone else, and immediately told the other five guards the news. Everyone thought that they couldn't let the powerful backer suffer, so they took the initiative to contact Zhang Pa to sell the house.

They thought that this time they were doing Zhang Pa a favor, so that if he had something to ask him for in the future, it would be easy to ask, right?
