World's Best Martial Artist

On November 25th, mcmau shook the world.

Guo shengquan and the other two advanced, successfully becoming rank-nine Origin Dao powerhouses.

On this day, Xu Gecheng, Chen Zhenhua, and Hu Minghe stepped into the "myriad DAOs as one" at the same time. Although they were not as good as a rank-8, they still had the combat strength of a rank-8.

On the same day, Fang ping advanced to the seventh refinement of the Golden body, which was comparable to a weak rank-9 powerhouse.

In a single day, the world had turned upside down.

"17th of November, mcmau lost magic City catacombs. Huang Jing died in battle. Wu kuishan and Lu fengrou are unconscious.

Everyone had thought that mcmau would enter a low period this time.

"However, it's just like that year. When the old Vice-Chancellor died in battle, everyone thought that mcmau would experience a low period. However, Wu kuishan took over mcmau quickly and did not cause mcmau to fall into chaos.

Similarly, after Wu kuishan fell unconscious, Fang ping quickly took control of mcmau, allowing mcmau to rise from its low point in the blink of an eye.

This was the order of inheritance!

Generation after generation of mcmau's people held up mcmau's sky. For more than 60 years, mcmau had never declined, no matter how difficult the situation was.

……

Mcmau, guest hall.

Fang ping sat in the main seat, while Zhang Tao sat in the guest seat.

There were many powerhouses in the hall, all of whom were mcmau Grandmaster powerhouses.

No one had any objections to Fang ping sitting in the main seat.

Wu kuishan was not around. Fang ping had self-proclaimed himself as the managing Vice-Chancellor and had begun to officially lead mcmau.

Fang ping looked around, his heart filled with joy. He picked up the teacup on the table, stood up, and said with a smile,"Using tea as wine, I congratulate the teachers on successfully advancing!"

Everyone raised their cups and laughed heartily!

It was worth congratulating!

After drinking the first cup, Fang ping raised his cup and looked at Zhang Tao. He said slowly,"To the humans as well! To China! A great victory in jingdou, a joy for Hua nation!"

Zhang Tao slowly raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, but he did not speak.

Fang ping took a sip, and his smile disappeared. He said,"I shouldn't be a wet blanket on a day of great joy. However, Fang ping still had to say that the counterattack should be put on the agenda!

"Since the war between the two worlds, Sino nation has only lost the Tiannan catacombs once. Magic City catacombs is the second time!

"The Tiannan catacombs 'counterattack has taken two years!

"We can't wait two years for the Magic City catacombs to launch a counterattack!

"Our teachers and students need to gain experience. We need some resources. We can't possibly guard against the powerhouses from Magic city's catacombs every day and night when they attack the surface.

If we're not careful and the absolute peak is not here, it may cause a great disaster!"

"Counterattack is necessary, but Vice-Chancellor Wu's injuries have yet to recover. He's still recovering ..." Liu polu said from the right.

Fang ping nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Tao and asked,"Department head, how long will it take for the principal to recover?"

"It depends on luck. Maybe tomorrow, maybe ... Indefinitely!" Zhang Tao muttered to himself.

Fang Ping's expression changed slightly. Very quickly, he said, "I've thought about the date of the counterattack. It's January 1st, 2011! "Take back magic City catacombs on the first day of the new year!

There's still more than a month to go. If the principal still can't recover in this month, we can't keep waiting. "

Zhang Tao looked at him and said calmly,"a counterattack requires strength. Also, a counterattack is not a suicide!" If the losses were too great, the losses would not be worth it even if they brought it back to Magic City catacombs!

"Once mcmau retaliates, it might not just be the 18 rank-9s and 12 cities now. Do you understand?"

Fang ping nodded and said seriously,"once I appear in Magic city's catacombs, it might cause even more powerhouses to rush over from the restricted zone!" Magic city's catacombs was the green wolf King's territory, while the Tianzhi city in Magic city's catacombs was managed by the bamboo King.

I have some understanding of these two true Kings.

There were six rank-9 powerhouses under the green wolf king's command, the kind that were directly under its command.

On the bamboo King's side, there were only 4 rank-9s directly under him.

As for their direct divine generals, under normal circumstances, one of them would be on standby in the true king Palace, while the other would be in charge of the Royal domain.

"That's why the war broke out so quickly. The two true Kings nearby can at most transfer eight rank-9s to help. "

Zhang Tao nodded slightly when he saw that he had even included this.

Fang ping continued,"also, after leaving Magic City catacombs, there's a Royal City near Mount Royal sea. It's a Royal City belonging to the heavenly mandate Royal Court. It's about 4000 miles away from Mount Royal sea.

With a rank-9's speed, if the Imperial City came to help as well, the Lord of the Imperial City, or Hope City, would be able to travel more than 6000 miles if he went all out.

If he wanted to maintain his combat strength, he would need at least three hours to get here.

The subordinates of the two true monarchs weren't always on standby at the defensive Sea Mountain. If they had rushed over, they would have arrived at about the same time.

In other words, there were a total of nine forbidden zone rank-9s who might come to help.

"We need some time, about three hours. If we can end the battle within three hours, the reinforcements might not arrive. Even if they do, they might not dare to join the battle!"

Fang ping took a deep breath and said,"but I'm worried about one thing now. Once mcmau retaliates, what will the attitude of the true Kings of the catacombs be?" Are you going to join the battle directly, or are you going to ignore us and let us kill each other as usual?

If the true king joins the battle, then the so-called counterattack will become a joke. We are definitely not the true king's match. "

Zhang Tao smiled faintly and said,"the true king of the catacombs ... Recently, the true king of the catacombs may not have the time to take care of the outer region!" "Before you left, you caused a huge commotion at the king battle arena. Fate King and the others have all rushed to the king battle arena. The two kings of the catacombs might be awakening soon.

Compared to the war in the outer region, these people were more concerned about the situation in the king Battle Ground. As long as it wasn't a large-scale crushing attack, these true Kings might not care.

Of course, rank-9 was not something that could be given up so easily. Once the battle reached its climax and the other party suffered too much losses, the true king would not really leave them be.

When that time comes, there'll be something to talk about. "

As Zhang Tao spoke, he paused for a moment before continuing,"in addition, we might need to discuss the time of the counterattack you mentioned!" "The intelligence you brought back last time said that there might be unrest in the Western frontier and the West Mountain catacombs in the near future.

Once there was unrest, Sino nation would not be able to wage war on the three major catacombs at the same time.

"The wars of today are no longer limited to the territory of a single city. It's common for battles to break out within a single cave!"

"The West Mountain catacombs isn't that big. There are only 8 cities in total, and 16 rank-9s! "On the other hand, the catacombs in the Western border are not small. There are a total of 11 cities and 22 rank-9s.

If a war broke out, they would have to consider the possibility that all the other parties would participate in the war. At this time, they could no longer think about the fact that the Tian Ming clan would not participate in the war.

No matter how many nobles the two imperial courts had, they were now working together. Some of the battles in the outer domain had probably reached the ears of other experts.

Tiannan's catacombs had suffered heavy losses. Forbidden city's catacombs had been destroyed. Capital city's catacombs had suffered heavy losses. Magic city's catacombs had also suffered heavy losses ...

No matter how stupid these outer region city Lords were, they would not sit by and watch others die at this time.

"It's possible that they're not putting in any effort, but as long as the war goes smoothly, these powerhouses in the catacombs are still very strong when it comes to winning battles.

" 38 rank-9s might start a war at the same time, and that's not even considering the demons from the forbidden Lands."

After Zhang Tao finished speaking, he continued,"adding on the 18 from Magic City, that's 56 rank-9s!" And the battle could happen at the same time! This possibility was very high!

"If a battle erupts here and the catacombs feel the pressure, the reinforcements might not arrive quickly, but in order to weaken Sino nation's strength ...

At this time, their true king powerhouses would also join forces and launch a simultaneous attack from multiple catacombs!

"The other catacombs may not have formed an alliance yet. They need some time to work together. However, the three major catacombs that I mentioned already show signs of joining forces. If the true king gives the order now, they will quickly reach an agreement."

" 56 rank-9!"

Everyone's expression changed slightly. Old man Li frowned slightly and said,"Minister, are you saying that once mcmau retaliates, the probability of the three catacombs attacking at the same time is very high?"

"Extremely big!"

Zhang Tao said slowly,"among the 24 catacombs that have been opened in Sino nation, other than the three major catacombs in Tiannan, capital city, and the Forbidden City, the remaining 21 catacombs may all make their move at that time!

"These 21 catacombs have a total of 208 cities. There should be less than 400 rank-9 powerhouses now. Some cities only have one rank-9 powerhouse at the moment.

"As of now, there should be around 380 to 390 rank-9s. There are some places that we have not explored clearly.

"With so many rank-9s, there should be 100 origin Dao powerhouses.

Therefore, if a full-scale war broke out and the paragons didn't make a move, humanity would definitely be defeated!

"However, you all know the situation in the catacombs. Mount Royal sea has been sealed off for many years. The jurisdiction of the catacombs 'two Royal Courts in the outer regions is not as strong as before. Many city Lords in the outer regions are not willing to risk their lives for the Royal Courts ..."

Fang ping waited for him to speak for a while, then frowned and said,"Minister, you're trying to say that once mcmau retaliates, it's very likely that a slight change will affect the whole situation, leading to an all-out war in the entire outer region?"

"Not bad."

Fang ping gritted his teeth and said,"are we just going to let it go like this?" "So what if Magic city's catacombs are lost? Could it be that the Minister was going to stay in Shanghai all the time? However, once there was unrest in Mount Yuhai and the Minister left Shanghai, would they allow those people to attack the surface?

In the catacombs, they were afraid of death!

However, on the ground, these rank-9s were not afraid of death. By then, their combat power would increase dramatically!

A rank-9 who was not afraid of death was the most terrifying!

Once 18 rank-9s invaded Magic City, the entire city would be destroyed very quickly!

"Therefore, the Magic City catacombs will fight no matter what!

"This isn't just mcmau's personal grudge. If the Minister can guarantee that he'll stay in Magic City, then I won't be in a hurry to launch a counterattack on Magic City catacombs. I can wait, wait until mcmau has accumulated enough strength!

But we can't afford to wait!"

Fang ping took a deep breath, then exhaled. He continued,"Right now, Magic City catacombs is like a time bomb. It can blow up Magic City at any time, not just Magic City, but also some of the nearby provinces!

At that time, hundreds of millions of people would lose their lives. Mcmau could not afford to take the responsibility, and neither could Fang ping!

So even if there are some sacrifices, this battle must be fought!"

After Fang ping said that, he looked at old Zhang again.

"Losing Magic City catacombs is equivalent to planting a bomb for Sino nation. A bomb that can go off at any time. You understand this better than I do.

Zhang Tao glanced at him and said lightly,""I didn't expect to lose the Magic City catacombs either. "Don't look at me like that anymore. I don't want Magic City catacombs to be lost either. At that time, I thought that I could just go to Mount Yuhai alone. Li Zhen will stay behind to guard the catacombs. We can't lose Magic City catacombs.

"Kid, don't try to deny yourself. You, kid, have produced more than ten true Kings on the king Battle Ground. This is the main reason why Li Zhen went down to the catacombs.

By then, it would be too late to change the plan. The battle in the capital city had already broken out. In the entire China, only Zhang Weiyu could fight.

However, the Magic City catacombs was full of danger. They were already on the losing side. There was no reason to let Zhang Weiyu take the risk!

You provoking three to five true Kings is still within my calculations, but provoking a dozen or so is not my plan. "

Zhang Tao had had enough of this guy. He said impatiently,"There are more than ten true Kings, even Heavenly King Zhen couldn't mess with them. You are more capable of messing with true Kings than Heavenly King Zhen ..."

Seeing that Fang ping was about to speak, Zhang Tao waved his hand and said, "You've provoked so many true Kings not just because of you, but also because the king battle arena is special. The two kings may be hiding there, so there have always been true Kings keeping an eye on that place.

Anyway, this matter is over. No one should think about it, so stop overthinking it. "

Fang ping took a deep breath and said,"I'm not thinking about this. I'm discussing serious business with the Minister now." "We have to fight our way back to the Magic City catacombs. Otherwise, the passage will grow and be disrupted.

However, there were many passages opened now. Even if they disturbed the passages, it was only a temporary measure. They would be restored very soon.

"As long as Magic city's catacombs isn't taken down, the entire Magic city's cultivation environment will deteriorate. If Magic city's martial artists want to improve, they can only go to other places. By then, Magic City will be considered a waste.

"There are many martial artists and martial arts universities in Magic City. There are more than 100000 martial arts university students gathered here. There are also many casual martial artists and government martial artists.

Hundreds of thousands of martial artists gathered in Magic City. Without the catacombs, many plans would be completely messed up.

"Back then, when Tiannan catacombs was breached, the Head of Department was also clear about the situation in Tiannan. Tiannan martial artists went to various places, but because they were not familiar with the other catacombs, they suffered heavy losses. Many of them went to other catacombs for the first time, and the death rate was extremely high.

I don't want Shanghai to be like this. There are hundreds of thousands of cultivators in Shanghai. If they really go to various places, there might be a great chaos. "

Zhang Tao tapped the table lightly and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he was indeed in a dilemma.

"If we don't take down Magic city's catacombs, they'll be a threat.

"However, once we counterattack the Magic City catacombs, Wars will quickly break out in other places as well. This might not have happened in the past, but now ... The probability is very high.

"Time, speed!"

Zhang Tao said slowly,"we have to be quick!" "If we want to take down Magic city's catacombs, we can't be too slow! It had to be fast, so fast that even if the true king passed down an order, the catacombs would not be ready for a full-scale war!

"Settle the great battle in Magic City within an hour. After that, your people will head out of the catacombs to reinforce the other parties and quell the battle."

"One hour ..."

Fang ping frowned. Zhang Tao said slowly," 1 hour!" "At this time, in other catacombs, the city Lords of some of the cities in the depths might still be hurrying towards the front lines. War might not even break out.

"If at this time you can return to the various sides and provide them with strong support, the catacombs martial artists are not stupid. They will not continue fighting even if they know that they are going to die.

This was also the plan with the least losses!

"However, if you drag this out, full-scale Wars will break out in other places as well. Fang ping, you have to understand that the current humans are no match for these people."

Below, old man Li said,"it's not an easy task to defeat the enemy in an hour!" "Why don't we gather Sino nation's rank-9s and attack together? we'll work together to defeat the powerhouses from Magic city's catacombs first, and then quickly return to help the other parties!

"Compared to the catacombs, our only advantage is that we can mobilize our troops quickly through the surface. Their catacombs are too large, and they have to transit through Mount Royal sea. They don't have such an advantage."

"It's not that simple,"Zhang Tao said softly," some rules still exist! "The true Kings of the catacombs are not willing to start a full-scale war with us at this time, but they also won't let us slaughter the other party at this time!

In other words, we're actually still restricted.

"If rank-9s are to be deployed, other than the powerhouses who must stay behind to keep watch, it's not difficult for Sino nation to deploy 20 rank-9s. With everyone else from mcmau, it's not a problem to defeat Magic City catacombs.

"However, once we do that, we'll soon face the counterattack of the entire outer region, including the ninth-rank forbidden zone!"

"The Forbidden Zone doesn't care about the outer zone now," Zhang Tao said."That's because a Great war is coming. In fact, the Forbidden Zone also has the intention of consuming the outer zone's strength and our strength.

However, if we have the absolute advantage, the situation will be different. "

Fang ping continued,"that's why we can only do as the Minister said. We'll defeat the other party within an hour and go back to support the other parties!" "Also, we can't have too many rank-9s. Since there are 18 in the catacombs, we can only send out 18 rank-9s at most?"

"I won't give you the chance," Zhang Tao said calmly. "Once the humans send out 10 powerhouses above rank-9, it'll be a decisive battle! Therefore, the number of people had to be as small as possible!

So few that the opponent's true king thinks they have a chance of winning!"

As Zhang Tao spoke, he laughed again,"do you really think that the true Kings of the catacombs are idiots? They did not know that li Changsheng was very strong. Could he be regarded as an origin path martial artist? I wonder if Wu Chuan can take on two at once and is comparable to two origin path martial artists?"

"They know! Thus, if you want Wu Chuan, Zhang Weiyu, and the rest to enter and kill the other party, it would be best if you had fewer people! "The catacombs know quite a bit about our situation. They know what kind of strength those rank-9s have!"

"Therefore, we can't let the other party think that we're going to lose. We must immediately unite the thoughts of all parties. "The true Kings of the catacombs are the kind that care about their reputation. If they feel that they can win, they won't ask the other true Kings to cooperate for a while. That would be embarrassing."

Zhang Tao was very clear about the thoughts of these true Kings. He smiled and said,""Try to limit the number of rank-9s to below 10! Moreover, they could not allow the strongest to appear. Zhang Weiyu and the rest had better not appear here!

The green wolf King and the bamboo King saw that the chances of winning were very high. At this time, they might not even send their own ninth-level directly to help!

They wouldn't have immediately called for everyone to attack as soon as you entered!

It was a time difference!

"If you defeat the other party quickly, the Magic City catacombs will no longer be able to fight. If you return to help the other sides, the battle will not break out so easily."

After Zhang Tao finished speaking, he added,"also, don't just look at rank-9!" "In the 12 cities of Magic City, there are about 30 rank-8 martial artists and about 100 rank-7s. These people are nothing on their own, but if they work together, they're extremely powerful!"

Fang ping fell into deep thought and did not speak for a while.

After a few seconds of silence, Fang ping asked,"If we defeat the powerhouses of the 12 cities this time, do we have any hope of getting their mineral veins?"

"The constant Wars that humans have waged in the outer regions are one of the reasons for weakening the catacombs 'strength. In reality, the main reason is for the sake of resources.

The war had been going on for so many years, and resources were the most important!

Otherwise, the humans would not have initiated the war.

However, if there were no wars, based on the situation of the human race, the energy was thin and there were almost no energy stones.

Under such circumstances, if they didn't kill the enemy and seize the spoils, how could the human race have so many martial artists?

Not to mention the 4 million martial artists in Sino nation, if they were to continue to defend without attacking, then it would return to the situation a hundred years ago, where there were 10000 martial artists!

That was why humans fought with all their might. Even if they were no match for the other party, they would often take the initiative to wage war. In fact, a large part of the reason was to seize resources and strengthen themselves so that humans could have the strength to fight for a chance in an all-out war.

The glory of the new martial era was also built on the foundation of counterattacks.

If they had followed the strategy of the Saturn era, there would not have been the prosperity of the neo martial era, nor would there have been the four million martial artists in China today.

More than ten paragons, at most, would be able to obtain some resources for their own descendants. The others completely relied on their own cultivation, and it was difficult to even reach rank-3.

"Mineral vein ..."

Zhang Tao shook his head and said,"do you really think that the catacombs martial artists are idiots? They can tolerate us seizing a portion of the resources to cultivate and strengthen ourselves. They also know that we are in urgent need of resources.

There were a lot of humans. China had a population of more than one billion, but were only a few million people suitable for martial arts?

Absolutely not!

The main thing is that we can't afford it!

If they could afford it, in one out of ten, China alone would have 100 million martial artists!

"That's why in every war, the catacombs don't care how many people die. They don't care about other things, but they definitely care about one thing. They definitely won't allow humans to obtain a large amount of resources. A mine vein might be able to give birth to hundreds of thousands of martial artists!

Why would they give us a chance?

They would dare to start a full-scale war and kill until blood flowed like a river just because you seized the mine!

"All these years, we've only managed to seize some energy mines in capital city and the catacombs in Magic City. Those were also the prices that King Huai paid. He felt that he could win, so he gambled on a mine vein!

However, after the first time, there would be no one to gamble with you the second time.

The key was that he couldn't create the same situation as before and invite the battle ahead of time. Once that happened, everything would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to overcome the time difference.

"If you don't come to an agreement with the true Kings of the catacombs in advance, you won't be able to seize their mineral veins.

They would rather destroy it than give it to humans.

Some small mines are not included, but if we can take down some of the subsidiary cities, towns, and villages, we can also take some small mines. These are our main source of resources for the past few years. "

Fang ping furrowed his brows. If that was the case, seizing the mine would not work.

"If that's the case, the rewards we'll gain from conquering magic city's catacombs this time will also be limited.

After thinking for a while, Fang ping suddenly said,"maybe ... I can try again!" Minister, I'd like to go to the boundary of Magic City first. Yi is not dead yet! It had almost died at King Huai's hands the last time, so it was definitely unwilling!

If I were to contact the church ... I might be able to contact a group of demons!

There's no need for them to fight head-on. If we fight and let these demons break through the city from behind, the demons in the forbidden land might not dare to do it ... But what about the demons in the inter-world realm?"

Fang Ping's eyes flickered."There are also a large number of demons in the precinct. If a war breaks out, the demons in the precinct will leave the precinct, attack the major cities, and seize the mineral veins ... Even the true king might not dare to kill a large number of demons, right?"

Everyone was stunned. You still want to contact the referee?

Last time, I almost lost my life because of you. It's hard to say if I'm still alive.

King Huai had punched through the air and destroyed his opponent's golden body. Was he really still alive?

Even if I'm still alive, would I still have the guts to continue working with you?

Moreover, Yi was only a rank-8 demon. One rank-8 demon might not be able to change anything.

Although there were demons in the precinct, under normal circumstances, those demons would never leave the precinct. Fang ping was not a Demon King, so how could he negotiate with these demons?

"Chi ..."

If Fang ping had not mentioned it, Zhang Tao would have almost forgotten about this monster.

When he heard Fang ping say that he wanted to enter the precinct and work with this monster beast, Zhang Tao could not help but laugh."You won't stop until you've killed it?"

Fang ping shook his head and said,"it's just a cooperation!" Richard was not stupid. It would only do things that were beneficial to it! We'll kill them while they go and steal the ores. This time, it'll really be easy for them to steal the ores!

If we can really seize the 12 ore veins, then there's more to talk about!"

Fang ping licked his lips and smiled."If Jiao seizes the mine, it'll probably return to the precinct. But can it hold on?" It didn't have a storage ring. No matter how much it devoured, how much could it devour?

When the time comes, I'll go to the precinct and directly take those mines ... With a change of hands, the mines will still be ours!"

Everyone looked at him. What a black-hearted man!

He had almost killed that demon the last time, and he was going to do it again this time. As for how Fang ping would enter the boundary, if he did not use the passageway, he could only go through Mount Royal sea. Perhaps he could coordinate from the inside and the outside.

"Also, the war hasn't even started yet, and you've already taken care of the mine vein. You're really confident.

Zhang Tao thought for a moment and said,"we'll see. Mcmau hasn't confirmed it yet. In addition, this matter needs to be discussed with many parties. I'll give you an answer in a few days!"

"Alright," he said.

Fang ping responded and did not say anything else. This matter was indeed not something that could be decided on a whim.

"It might not be feasible for me to count on mcmau to take down Magic City catacombs alone.

Perhaps ... He would need a group of reinforcements!

"Old Wang's nmau, old Yao's first military school ... These two guys are the leaders of their schools. Perhaps it's time to make a move!"
