Chapter 227: A Difference Between Heaven and Earth
"The farmers are here." Tian Mi, with a faint blush all over her body, silently sorted out her clothes. After struggling, she finally made her choice.

Compared to the decayed farmhouse, she chose Yang Chong. Even though she was already poisoned at this time, she wanted to give herself a chance, a chance to start over or write her own ending.

"Who is coming?" Yang Chong asked with some surprise.

Is this Tian Mi’s choice?
Although Yang Chong was a little surprised, this direction of the story was not bad. After all, Yang Chong didn't want to do anything like forcing the flowers to bloom, as that was too cruel.

"The Six Sages of the Farming Family." Tian Mi answered without any sign of uneasiness on her face. When she made the choice, her fate was no longer in her control, or rather, she had never controlled her own fate.

At the moment, she just put her fate in the hands of Yang Chong. She was just a weak woman. When she could not control her own destiny, she only hoped that her destiny could be handed over to a powerful person she trusted.

"Why do they threaten you with your life?" Yang Chong asked. Although he already knew everything, there were some words he had to hear from Tian Mi.

"How does the master know that they are threatening me with my life?" Tian Mi asked in surprise.

"Is it strange for farmers to do such things?" Yang Chong asked back.

"Not surprising." Tian Mi nodded, and then continued: "They want me to lead the master out of the mansion, preferably out of the city, so that they can attack the master more conveniently."

"It's just a boring calculation. If they can really kill us directly in this mansion, I will look up to them." Yang Chong sneered.

"The farmhouse has indeed become corrupt." With all the memories about the farmhouse in her mind and what happened today, Tian Mi had to admit this fact.

The farmers' plan was simple. They did not dare to confront the army under Yang Chong, so they needed to create an opportunity for themselves to attack, and using Tian Mi was the best means. It was a pity that they still underestimated Tian Mi, or rather, underestimated women.

"If you continue to do this, I will be led out of the city by you." Yang Chong said.

"Master, the martial arts of the Six Sages of the Farming Family are extraordinary. Although your martial arts are also very powerful, it is hard to predict the outcome when facing the six of them. A gentleman does not sit in a hall..." Tian Mi said hurriedly. She chose to confess everything just to let Yang Chong break the current deadly situation and make Yang Chong the person who will protect her in the future. She did not want Yang Chong to die.

"Those old guys in the farm family thought so too, so they were wrong. Just continue to do what you should do next. There is no reason to let the prey that has been delivered to your door escape. I haven't used the energy-absorbing technique for a long time." Yang Chong said.

Are the Six Sages of the Farming Family a threat to Yang Chong? Yes, but crises and opportunities also coexist.

Although there are many people in the world, there are not many masters like the Six Sages of the Farmer Family. What's more, these six old guys have lived to a very old age and have accumulated so much skills that they have almost reached the limit of first-class masters. Yang Chong was also very tempted by such fat prey.

He has been looking forward to reaching the Grandmaster level for a long time.

The martial arts that Yang Chong practiced are the strongest martial arts in the world, so naturally he wants to become the strongest person in the world.

"Yes."

……

When Tian Mi left the shop, the six sages of the farming family moved away immediately. Although they felt that Tian Mi would never betray them, they naturally did not dare to stay in the city for the sake of safety. After all, if Tian Mi betrayed them, what would be waiting for them would not be Yang Chong who had fallen into the trap, but Yang Chong's army. That would be a lot of fun.

In this world, no one is not afraid of being surrounded and killed by a large army.

There are thousands of elite armored soldiers in Dong'a City. Even the Six Sages of the Farming Family have to avoid their sharp edge.

On the bank of a small lake outside Dong'a City formed by the diversion of a river, the autumn reed marsh is filled with a distant and desolate atmosphere against the backdrop of the sunset. A red sun is half hidden between the western hills, and it is the time when the day is about to end and the night is not yet here.

"Tian Mi won't betray us, right?" Yu Tu, one of the Six Sages of the Farming Family, was hesitant. He was not very confident about Tian Mi, let alone trust.

"He dare not." Shennong replied. He was very confident about his poison. Medicine and poison are inseparable. He was sure that no one in the world could cure his poison. As long as Tian Mi still wanted to live, she would never betray them.

As for the question of whether Tian Mi wants to live, it is too obvious. In the past, Tian Mi could devote herself to her enemy Yang Chong in order to survive. Why can't Tian Mi betray Yang Chong this time in order to survive?
"Don't think too much. Our plan this time is foolproof. It doesn't matter even if Tian Mi betrays us. As long as we lure Yang Chong out of Dong'a City, Tian Guang and his men will raid Yang's Mansion. We may not be able to take down Yang Chong who is prepared, but Yang's Mansion, which is like a tiger leaving its den, can't stop Tian Guang and his men." Another person said.

"Yes, the strongest of the women in Yang's mansion is only the former Luowang Tianzi first-class killer Jingwei. As for the rest, they are at most second-rate masters. As long as Yang Chong is not here, it will not be difficult for Tian Guang to take them down. We only need one side to succeed."

The Six Sages of the Farming Family had a very clear plan and it seemed that they had already plotted against Yang Chong.

They believed that if Yang Chong was deceived by Tian Mi, he would definitely be led out of Dong'a City. If Tian Mi betrayed them, Yang Chong would also leave the city, because they believed that Yang Chong, who had ambitions to rule the world, also had plans for the farmers. If they stayed in Daze Mountain, Yang Chong would have no way to deal with them even if he wanted to. But now they took the initiative to come to Yang Chong's territory. If Tian Mi really betrayed them, then Yang Chong would have even more reason to take action.

"Not bad."

"Calculation? What is calculation? It's just a little cleverness. Those six old guys are all petty. They don't understand that a plan is not perfect the more calculations you make. If a plan is too complicated, it may seem perfect, but it will have more flaws. If I were them, I would have attacked Dong'e City the first time I arrived there. It would be simple, crude, and upright, leaving us no time to react."

At the Yang Mansion, Zi Nu, Yan Ling Ji, Nong Yu, Niu Shang, Tian Mi, and even Cai Die, who were gathered together, listened to Yang Chong's voice and showed a listening attitude.

"Not everyone is as arrogant as you." Zi Nu shook her head and laughed. She believed what Yang Chong said because Yang Chong had done so in the past. The biggest victim was the powerful general Ji Wuye of Korea.

“Only those who truly possess power can do this. After I leave, the farmers will most likely cause trouble for you, so you must be prepared.” Yang Chong warned.

"Don't worry, we are not the canaries you raise. If those farmers really think we are easy to bully, I will make sure they know how fire burns." Yan Lingji said eagerly.

Since coming to Zhao State, as Yang Chong has completely established his foothold in Zhao State, Yan Lingji has not taken action for a long time. This is not a good thing for her who is active by nature. She has been itching to do it. Flames need to burn, and only when they burn can they bloom with the most brilliant colors.

"Be careful not to fall into a trap." Yang Chong had to remind Yan Lingji. Yan Lingji was an optimistic person to begin with. She had been living a life of luxury over the years, so it was inevitable that she would become a little unbridled and might not be as cautious as she was in the past.

"Impossible..." Yan Lingji wanted to refute, but her mouth was covered by Yang Chong. "Don't say that, it's weird." Yang Chong teased. At this time, he was in a good mood. Although he had the pressure before the war, he didn't have the anxiety before the war.

For Yang Chong, pressure is a motivation to do better, not a way to make himself anxious.

Seeing that Yang Chong still had the mind to joke, Zi Nu felt a little more relieved.

"Since there is danger, why don't we just use a large army to encircle and suppress it?" Niu Shang, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly said.

"That doesn't sound like something you would say." Yang Chong looked at Niu Shang with a little surprise. If one were to say who had the most indifferent and cruel character among those present, it would definitely be Niu Shang. Apart from caring about her two children, there was really nothing or anyone she cared about, even Yang Chong was the same to her.

Facing Yang Chong's seemingly surprised but actually teasing words, Niu Shang explained in a rare way: "When facing assassins, the safest way is to give them no reason to attack, so that they will retreat when they see the difficulty. Once the assassin attacks, there is no longer any guarantee of success."

When saying these things, Niu Shang was very professional. After all, when it comes to the professional qualities of a killer, no one present could compare to her.

"What Niu Shang said makes sense. We really have no reason to take risks now." Zi Nu nodded. They could completely adopt another way to deal with the threat from the farmers. Yang Chong is no longer alone now. He has a lot of power to borrow.

"A good sword is forged from repeated grinding. Although we have a lot of things now, we must not forget that the first thing we have is the sword in our hands. This is our foundation. I can't wait." Yang Chong said.

As Yang Chong becomes more and more involved in this game, the time left for him becomes less and less. He must improve his martial arts to the point where he is not afraid of anyone, not even time, in the shortest possible time.

Especially in this world with the power of mythology, who would be interested in being just a mortal?

The world is certainly a man’s romance, but immortality is the dream of all living beings.

"Is this why men are always teenagers?" Nanyue teased. The once gentle and considerate Nanyue was becoming more and more lively, although she seemed a little older now.

"Naughty." Yang Chong glared at Nong Yu. He was becoming more and more disrespectful. Where did the Nong Yu from the past go?

"In short, you have to be careful. Don't worry about us. As long as you are fine, we are fine." Zi Nu reminded. Since Yang Chong has made up his mind, all they can do is help Yang Chong do things to the best of their ability.

"I believe this." Yang Chong said.

After so many years of training, Yang Chong has some confidence in the strength of Zi Nu, Yan Ling Ji, Niu Shang and Nong Yu. Even Cai Die has acquired the strength of a first-class master through cheating. Although Cai Die is the weakest among the first-class masters, she is enough to deal with the weaker ones among the six hall masters of the Nong family.

After all, top-notch masters are rare anywhere and are not everywhere.

……

The sky was clear, there was a light breeze, and the sky was blue with white clouds. A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove out of Dong'a City, running on the paved official road. The carriage was very stable amid the rumbling sounds.

There were pedestrians walking on the road, and their eyes under the bamboo hat were looking at the passing carriage with a gleam of light. It actually appeared.

As the news spread, the farmers' troops lurking in Dong'a City began to take action, and a large net was laid out.

"Is this the place you were talking about?" By the lake, Yang Chong walked out of the carriage and looked at the reed marsh in front of him, as if looking for something.

"Master, please come out. I have already brought the people to you." Tian Mi walked out of the carriage and quickly distanced herself from Yang Chong.

"Is this your choice?" The military leader, whose whereabouts were exposed by Tian Mi, walked out from the reed marsh. He had a bad temper and looked very angry.

This was not an ideal place for them to ambush Yang Chong. They had not yet led Yang Chong into the ambush circle. It was originally a six-to-one situation, but now he had to face Yang Chong directly. However, he was not worried about this. He was confident that Yang Chong was at most slightly stronger than himself. It was impossible to capture him in a short period of time. However, the other five people could arrive in a few breaths, and then Yang Chong would be doomed to die.

"Master Bingzhu, I have no choice. If there is no sufficient reason, I really can't think of a way to lure the master here!" Tian Mi argued confidently, and her reasons were very sufficient.

The Lord of Arms wanted to say something, but Yang Chong had already made his move. In his eyes, Yang Chong suddenly drew his sword, and a surge of sword intent burst out, turning into a torrent of sword energy that rushed towards the Lord of Arms.

"How is this possible?" The Lord of Arms was horrified. Yang Chong's sword seemed to want to destroy all living things. It was cruel and ruthless. It was a truly heartless and unrighteous sword.

More importantly, when Yang Chong swung his sword, it was as if he was swung out tens of millions of swords. Amid the whistling sword energy, the Lord of Arms felt that this was an unsolvable sword technique that he could not break, so he could only resist.

Realizing that Yang Chong's swordsmanship was unbreakable, the Lord of Arms raised his skills to the limit in an instant, with blood-colored aura rising from his body, and he took a defensive stance.

Just as the dazzling sword energy was about to collide with the blood-colored aura of the Lord of Arms, the Lord of Arms instinctively felt a chill of death.

"No, I've fallen into a trap." The next moment, the Lord of Soldiers was shocked. Yang Chong's figure suddenly appeared in the torrent of dazzling sword energy, but what filled the Lord of Soldiers' sight was no longer Yang Chong's sword, but Yang Chong's palm.

Yang Chong swung his palm down, without any smell of fireworks, and pressed directly on the protective qi of the Lord of Arms. However, this palm that seemed to have no power made the Lord of Arms truly smell the breath of death.

Yang Chong's palm was not intended to break the Bingzhu's protective qi, but to strengthen it. The circulating Six Void Force surged into it, instantly increasing the defensive power of Bingzhu's protective qi.

"No!" The Lord of Soldiers' eyes were bloodshot. He now understood what Yang Chong was going to do, but it was too late.

With a loud bang, the Master of Arms was torn into pieces. The blood mixed with the power of the explosion was all grasped in Yang Chong's palm and turned into nourishment for his energy-absorbing technique.
