Chapter 1069 Selling a House
However, it was not so easy to avoid the stabbing sword of the master of the God of Transformation. The sword in the air emitted a dazzling light, turned automatically, and continued to chase the city lord. Because the speed was too fast, from a distance, it seemed as if God had struck a lightning bolt that would turn, and it would not be satisfied until it struck the city lord.
This is how the battle between masters of the God of Transformation is. Once they attack, they will 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 training ground. As the sigh sounded, the ground of the military training ground suddenly lifted up, as if a carpet was overturned, and it was also like a wave rising from the flat ground. The yellow soil stood up high to block the sword attack.
Although the sword of the man in black was sharp, 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 clasped his hands together, raised his thumb, index and middle fingers forward, and held his ring finger and little finger together, and stabbed in the direction of the flying sword, shouting loudly: "Break." The sword trapped in the mud wall got extra help, and it made a loud sound, as loud as a dragon's roar, and then broke out of the ground and stabbed the city lord.
The city lord just stood quietly at this time. Although he temporarily suppressed the man in black by borrowing the power of Black Stone City, he did not want to kill him. Seeing the flying sword stabbing again, the city lord just waved his hand lightly, and the mud of the military field instantly became alive, and a huge earth hand quickly grabbed the flying sword.
The flying sword was sharp and pierced the earth hand, but then there was a second earth hand grabbing it, and then there was a third one, finally grabbing the flying sword and 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 earth people, standing quietly, waiting for the city lord's order, and they would attack the man in black.
The city lord whispered, "You go." It seemed that he didn't want to offend the black liao of Guocheng, and actually wanted to let the black-clothed man go.
The black-clothed man heard this, looked at the city lord behind the mud soldiers with a fierce look, and said in a deep voice: "It's just some mud and stones. I have the power to break the sky, but can't I break a pile of stones?" As he spoke, his body flew up, holding the gesture just now with both hands, and flew forward, and whooshed into his own sword.
The sword got the full strength of the black-clothed man, and immediately became much stronger. In a flash, it instantly strangled more than a hundred natives around him, turning them back into mud.
Seeing this, the city lord said in a light voice: "It's easy to break the sky, but it's not easy to break my mud." After speaking, the natives in the military parade ground shattered at the same time, and then flew straight to the city lord, tightly attached to his body, piece by piece, layer by layer, in just a blink of an eye, these countless muds made the city lord into a mud man/.
The military parade ground was huge, and the splashing mud was probably tens of thousands of tons heavy. However, when these tens of thousands of tons or even more mud were applied to the city lord, it seemed to turn into a thin gauze, only lightly covering a layer. The city lord's body did not grow any bigger, and he still stood quietly, looking at the flying sword in the air expressionlessly.
At this point, it was the last blow for both sides. The flying sword disappeared in an instant, and then one after another tiny dots appeared on the city lord's body. There were so many of them that I didn't know how many there were. The old ones had not gone, and new ones appeared again, and soon covered the city lord's body.
These dots were stabbed out by the flying sword. Countless attacks were blocked by a layer of gauze-like mud. Except for leaving many tiny dots, it could not make any progress.
Despite the fierce attack of the flying sword, the city lord just stood still and let it stab. After a while, he said in a calm voice: "Let's stop here." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the flying sword that was originally invisible and traceless. The city lord held the flying sword, looked down, and still had no intention to kill. He exerted force on his hand and whispered, "Come out."
The force of his grip was so great that the man in black was forced out of the sword and fell to the ground in a mess.
The city lord glanced at him and whispered again, "I won't kill you, but I will teach you a lesson." After speaking, a dazzling light burst out from the city lord's hand, scattering outwards quickly, piercing the people outside the field and turning their heads to close their eyes, or raising their hands to block. After a while, the light dissipated, and the fierce and sharp sword no longer existed, not even a trace of dregs was left, and it disappeared into thin air.
The magic weapon that the man in black relied on was broken, and other means of attack were in vain. Standing in the field, his face changed several times, and finally he bowed slightly to the city lord, without saying a word, and turned and flew away.
The city lord saw him go away, raised his arms, and peeled off all the gauze-like dirt on his body, and quickly filled the military parade ground. After a while, the city lord returned to his original appearance, and the military parade ground also showed its original appearance. Except for the lack of a black-clothed man, everything seemed 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, whispering: "I will watch the excitement once a year, and I will ask you to collect spiritual stones next year." After speaking, he walked towards the city gate.
Zhang Pa was amused by this sentence, and thought that this city lord was interesting. From the city lord's demeanor and means of dealing with the enemy during the fight, and the nonsense after the fight, he was very interested, so he developed some good feelings for this ordinary-looking city lord.
The battle lasted a very short time, only about thirty breaths, and several words were said during it. After the battle, the most lively place was the several gambling dens set up outside the military parade ground. Many people surrounded them to ask for the fruits of victory, including Zhang Pa.
Although it was Zhang Pa who paid the spiritual stones for the gambling, and although it was Zhang Pa who bet on the city lord to win, it was Taohua who brought up the excuse, so she openly stole the fruits of victory and ordered her clerk Zhang Pa to exchange the gambling tickets.
The waiter Zhang was afraid that he had already been subdued by Master Taohua's female power, so he came over to receive the spirit stone in despair. Because there were many people who suppressed the city lord, Zhang Aoi received a total of 290 spiritual stones including the 200 capital.
Zhang Ao took the spirit stone back to the beast cart and sat down. Heizi standing by asked curiously: "Who is in the car?" Zhang Ao said quietly: "Female family members." Heizi said "oh" to express his understanding and followed. He also said: "The city lord is very powerful. That clay armor is even more powerful than my transformed armor."
Armor? Zhang Ai looked at Heizi's metallic-glossy skin. Could this skin be compared with the city lord's mud wall? What would happen if you compared it with your own bones? After thinking about it for a moment, neither the city lord's mud wall nor Heizi's so-called transformation armor is as strong as the original bones. After all, the cultivation level is there, one is a god-level eighth-level master, and the other two are god-level cultivations. There are too many differences and there is no comparison. He shook his head without saying anything and drove the beast cart home.
Heizi did not leave. He stood there and carefully thought about the battle just now. After pondering for a quarter of an hour, he confirmed that he could not defeat the city lord no matter what method he used. He felt slightly disappointed at the moment, sighed softly, and walked home.
Zhang was afraid that he would not care what Heizi thought, so he drove the beast cart all the way back to the courtyard. Just as he closed the courtyard door, Taohua had already jumped out of the car, spread out his beautiful white and tender palms and said: "Bring it here." Zhang Ping sighed and threw over the two hundred and ninety spiritual stones. After receiving the spirit stone, Taohua was very happy and gave half of it to Chaolu first: "Everyone who sees it has a share." Then she said to Zhang Awei: "Next time something like this happens, you must be more careful."
It's over, and a brand new gambler has been cultivated, and he is a gangster-style gambler who will not even return the borrowed principal. Zhang Ai shook his head helplessly and went to untie the two unicorns first, then hurried to the front yard to rest.
As he spends time with Taohua, he becomes better and better at being lazy. I was lucky today. From the morning when the competition ended and I was lazy until the evening, I didn't see any peach blossoms to bother me. When the sun was setting, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Zhang was afraid that his consciousness would be released, so he knew it was Heizi, so he opened the door and welcomed him in. But Heizi didn't enter the door and stood outside the door to express his intention.
Heizi came to say goodbye to him, saying that he would leave Black Rock City temporarily and return to his hometown to practice again. When he achieved success, he would challenge the city lord again.
This kid’s dream is really lofty, and it’s not the city owner’s fault. After sighing, Zhang Ai felt vaguely that Heizi seemed to have something to say, but was embarrassed to say it out, so he asked, "Is there anything you can do?" Heizi's face turned red, he nodded and said, "I have something to trouble fellow Taoist." Then he looked back at his home.
Zhang Ain immediately understood that if Heizi left Black Rock City, this yard would be useless.
There is a rule in Black Rock City that as long as a house is empty for a month, the city owner will take it back and sell it again. Heizi naturally didn't want his spiritual stones to go down the drain. Even if he sold them cheaply, he could get some spiritual stones back and buy some elixirs, magic weapons, etc. to improve his cultivation. But he was anxious to go back to his hometown to practice, so he wanted to trouble Zhang Ao to sell it on his behalf.
Zhang Ping said, "How many spiritual stones did you buy for this yard? It's in my name for now, and I can sell it slowly in the future."
There is another rule in Black Rock City: no matter how rich you are, no matter how powerful you are, and no matter how big the population is, each family can only own one residence in the city, and the difference is the size of the house at most. All Zhang Ai can do is to sell it on behalf of the house, and he must find a seller within one month. Otherwise, if the house remains vacant for one month, it will also be taken back by the city government.
When Heizi heard this, he was greatly moved. He thanked him repeatedly and went to the city lord's palace with Zhang Ao to complete the delivery procedures. He also lowered the price, lest Zhang Ao suffer a loss. This made Zhang Awei feel that this person was good, and thought to himself: Cultivators are not all selfish and bad people, there are also many good people.
After the delivery procedures were completed, Heizi said a few words of thanks, said goodbye, and went back to continue his experience. And Zhang is afraid that he will have an extra job, selling houses.
The problem is that Zhang is afraid of being lazy and doesn't care much about money. He just leaves the house there and doesn't care about it. He thought that it would be worth it if the city lord took it back, but losing some spiritual stones would not be a big deal.
But thinking like this, he couldn't resist the kindness of someone, so he had to be busy.
When he went to the city lord's mansion to go through the formalities, he was seen by many people, including a guard who was restrained by him when he came to search the house a few days ago. The guard learned that Zhang Wear was going to sell the house on behalf of others, and immediately told the other five guards the news. After everyone thought about it, they could not let their powerful backers suffer, so they took the initiative to contact Zhang Wear about selling the house.
What they thought was that this time they were doing Zhang Wen a favor. If they asked him for something in the future, they might as well ask for help, right?
