Chapter 32: Disobeying martial ethics and launching a sneak attack!

"You..." Zong Shichang was about to use thunder to hit someone, but he lost his target in an instant.

It wasn’t that Zhao Xing ran too fast, but that a lot of straw men suddenly stood up on the ground around him.

The yellow straw man was almost the same color as the earth, and Zhao Xing also covered it with some sand, so it could not be found at all!

This guy actually buried a straw man underground as Voldemort!
"What's the point of weaving so many straw men? Humph, the straw man technique is nothing more than a trivial trick!"

"I can easily destroy it!"

Zong Shichang used thunder to attack.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning came down from the clouds and hit the straw man accurately.

But the effect surprised Zong Shichang!
He found that the golden straw man only had a charred spot on his chest, and there was no smoking or burning as he had imagined.

"What's going on? A straw man can withstand the thunder?"

Zong Shichang felt it was a bit ridiculous.

He was not good at the straw man technique and he had always looked down on this kind of magic, thinking that the technique was cumbersome and complicated, and Young Master Zong was not capable of doing such delicate work like a woman.

Who would have thought that the straw man made by Zhao Xing was completely different from any he had seen before!
“Boom! Boom!”

Several more lightning bolts struck down, and Zong Shichang took a lot of effort to get rid of one of them.

"How many thunders can you attract?" Zhao Xing stayed under the cover of the straw man, looking at Zong Shichang with a smile.

This was just a straw man he placed at the edge of his territory for warning. It was crudely made and not even as strong as the first level.

The 20 powerful Vajra who emerged from the bamboo forest are the real guards.

"Give Master Zong some strength."

Twenty powerful Vajra rushed forward.

"What? There are still so many?!"

Zong Shichang was suddenly shocked.

The 20 straw men that appeared later were obviously not the same kind as the previous ones.

Each one is golden instead of yellow, and they look strong and full of charm.

Zong Shichang took a look and saw that the powerful King Kong could jump three or four meters in one step. Is this the mobility a straw man should have? !
"The wind is coming!"

Zong Shichang didn't have time to attack anymore. He had to stop these powerful warriors first.

Even though he had already reached the fourth level of Ju Yuan, with strong Qi and blood and considerable strength, he did not dare to allow himself to be surrounded by these straw men.

Si Nong's melee ability is relatively weak. Besides, who among those who cast spells would engage in hand-to-hand combat like a warrior?

"Woohoo~"

A strong west wind blew towards Vajra.

Zong Shichang's wind control skills were pretty good. He blew up the sand and stones on the ground without letting the wind go too far downwards and causing waste.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

The sand and stones hit the straw man's body, making a sound of metal clashing.

It did block it for a bit, but the effect was far from what Zong Shichang expected.

Instead, the dust blinded his vision and he did not notice two straw men quietly approaching behind him.

“Sosososo…”

There was a different kind of movement in the wind.

"What the hell is that?!" Zong Shichang tilted his head and saw that there were two vines moving on the ground like snakes!
Every tree and grass is an enemy, entangling the straw man!

A winding straw man made of green vines that can extend the vines to trap the enemy.

"Snap!" A cane whipped Zong Shichang's right arm. Although he dodged it, a red mark appeared on his right hand. "What kind of straw man is this?!" Zong Shichang jumped away, but before he had time to think, the second and third canes whipped him.

He dodged once and twice, but was ultimately unable to dodge more of the canes.

Zong Shichang's hands were tied, one on the left and one on the right, and pulled tight.

He was unable to cast his spell, so the wind and thunder disappeared.

He tried to break free, but found it was useless. The green vines were incredibly tough, with triple toughness! It was difficult to get rid of the straw man after wrapping him around.

The next moment, his feet were also entangled and pulled apart to the left and right.

“Ahh…”

Young Master Zong was suddenly forced into a split, and then he did a split in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Sigh~"

Everyone who knows a man's pain knows it. Zong Shichang was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak.

At this time, Vajra rushed over.

Without saying a word, he punched Zong Shichang.

"I think……"

Before he could even admit defeat, he was knocked down.

"I surrender!"

Zong Shichang shouted loudly, fearing that Zhao Xing didn't hear him. He knew that the straw man was executing the orders of the caster and would not stop until the goal was achieved.

Fortunately, after he lay down, Vajra stopped moving.

The dust settled, the straw men parted, revealing Zhao Xing's leisurely figure.

"Brother, how is it?"

"You have no moral principles and actually attacked me." Zong Shichang said calmly, "I still have many secrets that I haven't used yet. I just accidentally got tricked by you. Besides, what's your skill with a straw man? When Si Nong fights, how can you fight with your hands?"

The man was lying on the ground with his mouth still stubborn. He was lying on the ground in a posture of being torn into pieces by five horses, but Zong Shichang still refused to accept it. Zhao Xing immediately asked back: "You said there would be no restrictions, so how can there be a sneak attack? Besides, isn't the straw man technique considered a farmer's magic?"

"I..." Zong Shichang was speechless. Even if he despised the straw man method, he had to admit it. That would be too ungentlemanly.

Snap! Zhao Xing snapped his fingers, asking the straw man to let go of Zong Shichang, then turned and walked towards his own territory: "Brother Zong, if you haven't had enough, you can fight again another day. I'll wait for you to break my straw man technique."

Zong Shichang watched Zhao Xing turn around, and suddenly lost his composure. He looked down at his crotch with a grin, and reached in to touch it again.

"Phew, luckily it's just a little skin broken, it won't affect anything, it won't affect anything..."

The battle between Zong Shichang and Zhao Xing came and went quickly.

In addition, there was flying sand and dust during the process, so only a few people could see it clearly.

"Is his straw man so powerful?" Wen Nanxing watched the battle from the bottom of the well. "Zong Shichang didn't even last two rounds. He was defeated after only using Lightning Induction and Strong Wind. It seems that I have to re-examine my straw man method."

Wen Nanxing also ignored the straw man method. Over the years, the number of straw man methods passed down by the court became fewer and fewer. At the beginning, there were dozens of straw man methods, but later there were only a few.

But after seeing Zhao Xing use the straw man, Wen Nanxing's view of the straw man changed greatly.

"Interesting, he's also good at using straw men." Xiao Ze's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, and he became more curious about Zhao Xing. "The powerful Vajra was mentioned in Liu Chuan's 81 Techniques. I didn't expect that he could actually use it... Should I ask him for advice?"

Xiao Ze was eager to learn it, he also liked to use the straw man spell, but his teacher didn't know many, only a few. It took Xiao Ze a long time to learn three, and now that he saw it, he couldn't help but want Zhao Xing to teach him.

"Forget it, let's wait until the assessment is over." Xiao Ze held back. Not everyone is as jumpy as Zong Shichang. The most important thing now is to get a good ranking in the Beginning of Autumn assessment.

On the exam platform, Gao Linong looked at Zong Shichang's limping appearance and felt terrible. He was gloating a second ago, thinking that Wen Nanxing and Xiao Ze had their vitality stolen by Zhao Xing, but he didn't expect that the next second it would be his disciple's turn to suffer.

What's more, it happened in public, and his favorite student couldn't even beat a straw man. It was really embarrassing. Who knows how happy those two old guys, Tang Wanchun and Pang Yuan, were in their hearts!

Gao Linong took a furtive glance and found that the corners of his two colleagues' mouths were harder to suppress than a waterwheel.
