Chapter 372: The Sword of the Nation
"Blood Pill!"
The blue giant looked at the sky in the city, at the huge blood ball, with greed in his eyes.
The blood pill refined with the life essence of hundreds of thousands of people is a great tonic for the warriors who strengthen themselves. Even if they cannot break through, they can make their strength go a step further.
If he gets this blood pill, he will be able to advance to the second rank within a decade. And if the blood pill is obtained by the King of Zhenbei, it means that there is one more second-rank warrior on the border for the barbarians.
It is no longer a thorn in the eye, but a deadly threat.
After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the second-rank masters of the barbarians fell, and the middle and high-level masters also suffered heavy losses. The same is true for the northern demon tribe. There were originally two third-rank masters, but now there is only one Zhu Jiu left.
The alliance between the northern demon tribe and the barbarian tribe urgently needs the birth of a second-rank master.
"Break the city!"
Jili Zhigu roared, and the giant sword opened and closed, fighting fiercely with the King of Zhenbei.
Behind him, the cavalry of the Qingyan tribe had already rushed to the city wall. They bit their scimitars in their mouths, each of them took out two spikes like daggers, chiseled the city wall, and climbed up like ants.
The barbarian cavalry were not ordinary people. They could climb the city wall without any defensive equipment.
The soldiers on the top of the city lifted the prepared wood, boulders, and arrows, and attacked from a high position to prevent the barbarians from attacking the city.
On the other side, the red giant python saw the blood pill condensing in the sky, and instantly went crazy. Its single eye shot out a golden light, attacking the city wall magic circle, and the wall continued to crack.
The demon army was in trouble. Not only did they have to face the attack from the city wall, but they also had to face the operation of their dead companions suddenly standing up and attacking their teammates.
......
As time passed, the blood ball in the sky did not continue to expand, but instead condensed, the volume became smaller and smaller, but the blood light became more and more intense. A stream of powerful vitality overflowed from it.
"Gululu..." Yang Yan swallowed his saliva and looked up, thinking that it was the most tempting thing in the world.
Chen Butou and a group of martial artists did the same, looking up eagerly.
On the contrary, the Dali Temple Secretary and the two imperial censors, who were ordinary people, did not show any abnormality, but they stepped back vigilantly, because the expressions of Yang Yan and others at this time were like hungry wolves in the cold wind, with salivating eyes and faces full of ferocity and desire......
Yang Yan's heart was filled with uncontrollable desire, eager to get the blood pill, eager to swallow him.
He was about to take action, when he saw several figures soaring into the air and desperately rushing towards the blood pill.
As soon as their figures approached, they quickly turned into dry bones, and their essence and blood were swallowed by the blood pill.
..... Yang Yan woke up from a dream, trembling all over, knowing that this was not something he could steal, and approaching rashly would only lead to irreversible consequences.
"Don't look, lower your head." Yang Yan roared.
The figure was like thunder, exploding in the ears of the warriors of the delegation. Captain Chen and others woke up suddenly, lowered their heads, and dared not look again.
At this moment, a silver bell-like laughter sounded, echoing in every corner of Chuzhou City. The sound was so charming that people couldn't help but fall in love and long to find its source.
Whether it was the soldiers guarding the city, the barbarians attacking the city, or the living people in the city, all men looked up and looked at the sky.
A misty figure walked from the heaven into the mortal world. She was beautiful, but more charming. The wind stroked her hair and lifted her dress, making her look like a fairy.
Like a fairy from the nine heavens, she stepped into the mortal world step by step.
There is such a charming woman in the world... This thought came to the minds of the men at the same time.
A fairy in white fluttering clothes came in the air, her voice was soft and charming, like a lover whispering in the ear, but it reached everyone's ears: "Thank you, King Zhenbei, for making the wedding dress for our country's master."
......
Above the sea of clouds.
A figure in white fluttering clothes stood in the clouds, overlooking the Chuzhou City below. His face was blurred, and his figure seemed to merge into the surrounding clouds. Standing there motionless, it is easy to be ignored. His presence is like his appearance, vague and low-key, as if he is not in this world.
"After the massacre, seal the soul back into the body, use secret methods to maintain the vitality of the body, and then use the entire Chuzhou city as an elixir furnace, and use the essence and soul of living beings as materials. Everything is normal before the great elixir is refined. Use the secret technique of the Wushen Cult to interfere with the secrets of heaven, and use the great formation in the city to maintain the destiny. What a trick to deceive the world, what a wizard in the spiritual wisdom realm."
The whole city is like an elixir furnace. The "elixir" containing the essence and blood of 380,000 people has been refined for a whole month and is finally close to success.
The sorcerer is an expert in alchemy. It is not surprising that such a great elixir takes a month
to refine.
The moment he saw the strange phenomenon in the city, the sorcerer, who is good at scheming, immediately understood the cause and effect.
The King of Zhenbei colluded with the Wushen Cult, and the latter helped him refine the essence and blood to deceive the world.
The King of Zhenbei's purpose is very clear, swallowing the essence and blood, pushing his cultivation to the third-grade perfection, and then taking away the princess's spiritual essence and advancing to the second grade. So, what is the Wushen Cult planning?
"It's Zhu Jiu..." The white-robed sorcerer suddenly realized.
Dafeng has a historical feud with the Wushen Cult, but because the northeastern countries are mainly human, and the northeast is rich in products, they can hunt and farm.
Although there are certain ambitions of aggression due to population growth, they generally prefer to live and work in peace.
The same is true for Dafeng, so it will not go to war easily. There are constant frictions at the border, but no large-scale wars.
On the other hand, the northern demon tribe bordering the northeastern territory is extremely aggressive and likes to devour humans. They often invade the border and towns.
"Help the King of Zhenbei to be promoted to the second rank, and then form an alliance. The coalition forces of both sides went north to kill Zhu Jiu. But now it comes by itself..."
The white-robed sorcerer suddenly frowned: "No, this formation is not made by the Wushen
Cult."
.......
The woman in the white skirt stretched out her hand and reached for the blood pill. When she was about to pick the fruits of victory, something strange happened. Below, a black lotus covering a range of dozens of miles emerged and then slowly bloomed. The lotus flowed with black viscous liquid, and each petal symbolized corruption and evil. The woman in the white dress stiffened, and a layer of ink stained her fingertips, which quickly spread, and the white and tender lotus arms were stained with a dark and ugly color, and her eyes turned red uncontrollably.
In an instant, she turned from a fairy who was floating in the air into an ugly and evil witch.
Behind the woman in the white dress, a fluffy and huge fox tail emerged, followed by the second, third, and fourth... Every time a fox tail appeared, the black faded a little. After the nine tails appeared, she eliminated all the corruption from her body.
The nine fox tails were like a peacock spreading its tail, slowly stroking behind her.
In the center of the black lotus, the black viscous liquid gathered to form a human figure. This
figure was made of dark mucus, and his eyes were full of evil colors, full of malice and
corruption.
The woman in the white dress narrowed her eyes, staring at the dark figure, and asked in surprise: "Are you Jinlian, the leader of the Earth Sect?"
The dark figure said lightly: "I am Hei Lian."
The woman in the white dress said: "I didn't expect that you would eventually become a
demon."
Hei Lian sneered: "Good deeds will not bring good results. The world is dark forever, and human nature is evil. I just follow the will of heaven and come into being."
The woman in the white dress stood on the cloud, slowly swinging her nine fox tails, covering
her mouth and laughing softly: "If the leader of the Heaven Sect heard what you said, I'm afraid he would have to discuss Taoism with you first."
Hei Lian snorted coldly: "I have seized the greatest evil in the world and made a further step
in the way of magic. Sooner or later, I will unify the Taoism and be the only one who is
supreme."
The woman in the white dress snorted coldly: "A mere clone dares to speak wildly."
The fox tail stood up and pounced down. In an instant, it was as if the sky had fallen. The whole Chuzhou City trembled slightly and the houses shook.
In the center of the lotus, the black figure raised his hand and retorted: "A fox tail dares to be
so rampant."
The lotus petals burst into black light, emitting the power to corrode everything and corrupt everything, rising against the sky to block the woman in white skirt.
The two forces collided and collided in the air.
The shock wave turned into a strong wind, pushing down the nearby houses, rolling bricks
and broken wood into the air, and razing the area within a radius of ten miles to the ground.
The duel between the two top masters created a scene like a natural disaster.
In the inn.
The princess sat at the dressing table by the window, stunned.
The boy left in the morning, and now it was dusk. She had just asked the waiter in the inn that
this was Pennsylvania, located in the heart of Chuzhou.
It was more than 300 miles away from Chuzhou City. Relying on her intelligence, the princess
judged that Xu Qian'an would take about three or four days to reach Chuzhou City.
It was still on the road, but she was already worried.
"The King of Huai is a third-rank official, the pinnacle in the eyes of Dafeng's warriors. Xu
Qian'an must not be too stubborn. If he dies, I..."
The princess was suddenly stunned. She sat there for a long time and emphasized to herself in
the mirror: "I will have no place to go in the future. After all, I am just a weak woman and I
don't have any money. If he dies, what should I do?
"Yes, that's right. I am worried about my future."
Finally, she sighed softly: "You have to punish the King of Zhenbei, but remember to come
back. "
Li Miaozhen flew down the valley with her flying sword.
She wanted to capture a few barbarian cavalrymen at random, and then leak the news to them,
and let them report back to the tribe, so as to complete the information leakage work simply
and crudely.
But when she approached the border, she was surprised to find that the cavalrymen of the Qingyan tribe were heading south in a big way, heading towards Chuzhou City.
She herself was almost discovered by the leader of the Qingyan tribe, or perhaps she had been
discovered, but the other party was too lazy to pay attention.
Out of caution, she continued to fly north, and saw the red giant python on the official road
dozens of miles away. It was crawling in the mountains, just like a red road.
In this situation, Li Miaozhen subconsciously made some inferences. It took her a quarter of
an hour to infer a series of question marks, and then she hurried back to report her experience
to Xu Qian'an.
In the cave, Shentu Baili, Li Han and others who heard the noise ran out with a vigilant look on their faces. After seeing Li Miaozhen, they felt relieved.
Li Miaozhen glanced at them and looked at the cave: "Where is Xu Yinluo?"
Zheng Buzhengshi walked out of the cave and said: "Xu Yinluo said he went to Chuzhou City
to investigate the case, so we waited again."
11
Li Miaozhen opened her mouth, her expression frozen on her face.
After about three seconds, her eyes suddenly turned red, and before everyone could react, she
flew away on her sword.
Stinky man, stinky man, stinky man... She gritted her teeth, and a sense of grievance and fear
surged in her heart for no reason. The grievance was that she felt that he had deceived her again. Although she felt aggrieved because of a man, such a mentality was obviously problematic, but she was not in the mood to delve into it now.
The fear was the fear of seeing the scene in Yunzhou again.
The figure with feather arrows all over his body, leaning on a knife, standing on a mountain of
corpses, is still clearly imprinted in the heart of the Saint of Tianzong.
You must live, you must live, I don't want to repeat the scene in Yunzhou again.
Dang!
The Zhenbei King cut open Jili Zhigu's giant sword with a knife, and no longer lingered in the
battle. He rushed back to the city in the air and pounced on the blood pill that was becoming
more and more solid and exuding an alluring breath.
As soon as he approached the blood pill, a golden light suddenly came from the north,
covering the King of Zhenbei.
His heavy armor melted in the golden light, and his skin turned red, showing signs of burning.
But this could not stop a third-grade warrior from moving forward.
The King of Zhenbei opened his palm and made a grabbing motion, and the blood pill flew
towards him.
The woman in the white skirt stretched out her palm, and the twisted aura condensed into a
huge palm, grabbing the blood pill from the side, trying to intercept it.
The black humanoid formed a seal with both hands, and shot out a filthy and evil turbid
stream, corroding the translucent giant palm and melting its aura.
"Hu..."
At that time, when the King of Zhenbei was about to get the blood pill, the giant sword flew
over in a rotation, and the target was not the King of Zhenbei, but the blood pill as big as an
adult's fist.
Bang!
The blood pill shot out and embedded in the surface, still emitting silent blood light, without any damage.
Amidst the rumbling sound, the green giant smashed through the city gate and rushed into Chuzhou City. With a wave of his hand, he recalled the giant sword and held it in his palm.
To the north, the red giant python climbed up the city wall and swam quickly along the horse
path of the city wall. The protruding parapet was broken like paper, and the wall was
constantly cracking under its body and could collapse at any time.
The city defense array of Chuzhou City was broken.
This was expected. It was not expected that the array could always block the third-grade
masters.
The head of the Earth Sect, the new generation of the ruler of the Wan Yao Kingdom, the King of Dafeng Zhenbei, the mysterious master of the Wushen Sect, the third-grade masters of the Barbarians, the red giant python of the demons... All the masters gathered in Chuzhou City, and the terrible aura enveloped them, making the living people in the city tremble and kneel
on their knees.
"I wondered where you got the confidence to attack the second grade, but it turns out you have helpers."
The blue giant Jili Zhigu, with his big copper bell eyes, swept through the enemy lineup and sneered: "That wizard looks only a third-grade wizard. No one can match him in deploying troops. In a one-on-one fight, he is not even enough for me to fight with one hand."
The red giant python seemed to respond to him, and swept his eyes with golden light,
sweeping down a figure wrapped in a black robe and wearing a hood. The wizard of the Wushen Cult emerged from his hidden state.
"I'll kill him!" The red giant python opened its dark red giant mouth and spit out human
words.
The northern demon tribe and the Wushen Cult have a deep hatred.
At Zhu Jiu's arrogant tone, the mysterious wizard sneered and said slowly: "Today is a good
day for alchemy, weapons, and killing Zhu Jiu."
At this time, the King of Zhenbei suddenly laughed, opened his left hand without a weapon,
and said: "Sword!"
Rumble... In the distant tower, a golden stream of light whistled and fell into the hands of the King of Zhenbei.
This is a bronze sword with a simple shape. The sword spine is engraved with ancient patterns, and the sword body is wrapped in a layer of light golden, like a thin film of light.
The moment the bronze was held by the King of Zhenbei, it trembled joyfully, as if it had
found its master.
"Zhenguo Sword!"
Jili Zhigu screamed, with real fear and hatred flashing in his eyes.
"Hiss..."
The giant python on the city wall raised its head high, but it did not pounce, but shrank
suddenly, as if it was frightened.
The nine-tailed woman in the air quickly raised her altitude, her exquisite face was extremely
serious, staring at the bronze sword in the hands of the King of Zhenbei.
Isn't the Zhenguo Sword in Dafeng Capital? When was it secretly sent to Chuzhou... Her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and there was a strong fear in her eyes. The King of Zhenbei held a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, and smiled as he
scanned the enemy masters, saying, "Since I have decided to be promoted, how can I not make a foolproof plan?
"It's fine if you didn't find Chuzhou City, I will be promoted accordingly. And if the secret of
Chuzhou City is known to you, it doesn't matter, the Sword of the State is waiting for you
here.
"Now the whereabouts of the princess is unknown, and the lack of her spiritual essence can only be made up by one of you."
The wizard wrapped in a black robe and a hood smiled coldly: "I have read a fortune today,
and it is a good omen, otherwise how could I let the locals stay here."
As soon as the voice fell, he raised his hand, aimed at the giant python on the city wall, and
said leisurely: "Die!"
Puff puff puff...
The scaleless giant python's body kept breaking apart, and blood flowed, dyeing the wall red.
When you reach a high-level wizard, the curse killing technique no longer needs a medium,
and can be used as a means of attack that works every time. Of course, if there is the
opponent's flesh and hair, the power of the curse will be even better.
The scaleless giant python roared in pain, swam quickly on the city wall, leaped over half of
the city, and pounced on the wizard. In the process, the vertical eye on the forehead burst into
golden light.
The black-robed wizard could not avoid the golden light that was as fast as lightning. The whole person was shrouded in golden light, and his limbs showed signs of melting. The wizard was not panicked. He pinched the magic formula with his hands and summoned a less real phantom in the void and merged with it. At the same time, his blood and energy surged, his muscles tore through the black robe, and turned into a giant several feet tall. Ninth-grade blood spirit: maximize the potential of oneself, the degree of increase depends on personal cultivation; stimulate blood and energy, so that the vitality is not inferior to that of a warrior, the degree of stimulation depends on personal cultivation. Fifth-grade sacrifice: can summon the heroic spirits wandering between heaven and earth, or the heroic spirits of ancestors, and turn them into one's own use. Note: Usually, only warriors, demons, and ancestors of their own system can be summoned.
It is impossible to summon the spirits of powerful Buddhists; summoning Confucian spirits will be counterattacked by the spirits; it is impossible to summon the spirits of the first generation of supervisors, because they will be wiped out by the current supervisors. It is possible to summon the spirits of Taoist predecessors, but it will be very dangerous, such as summoning a spirit of the head of the earth sect who is possessed by demons, or a spirit of
the head of the human sect who is entangled in karmic fire. The spirit of the head of the
heaven sect has never been successfully summoned.
The high-quality warriors on both sides fought fiercely, and the Chuzhou City was turned into
a ruin.
No one tried to take the blood pill, but everyone locked the blood pill. No matter who picked it
up by force, they would be attacked by everyone.
On the city wall, Que Yongxiu, who split the Qingyan warriors with a knife, was not angry but
happy that the Chuzhou City that he had guarded for more than ten years had turned into
ruins.
Destroy it.
Chuzhou City was reduced to ruins by the barbarians and the monsters. The people of
Chuzhou were killed in the battle between the high-ranking masters. All traces will be buried in this battle.
What does all this have to do with me, Que Yongxiu?
And he, guarding Chuzhou City, fought bravely with the King of Zhenbei, and made a great
contribution, which made him famous all over the world.
The aftermath of the battle between many masters rushed to the top of the city. If the soldiers
were not careful, they would die in the terrible shock wave.
Yang Yan led the delegation and retreated to the bottom of the city wall one step ahead,
trying to escape from the nearest city gate along the city wall.
"Dang, puff..."
The King of Zhenbei brushed past the blue giant, and the giant sword in Jilizagu's hand broke.
A deep sword mark appeared on his chest and abdomen, and his internal organs were vaguely
visible.
The wound did not heal, and the light golden flame burned quietly, destroying life.
Jilizagu roared in pain.
Holding the Zhenguo Sword, the King of Zhenbei had the upper hand and completely crushed
Jilizagu, leaving scars on his body. Sometimes he could also help the wizard and cut the giant
python's body with the Zhenguo Sword.
This was a hunting game. The King of Zhenbei not only wanted to be promoted to the second
rank, but also wanted to kill the barbarian master and become famous.
The 380,000 people in Chuzhou City were the stepping stones on his martial arts journey and
the necessary sacrifice for him to reach the top. They died for what they deserved.
Puff!
The Zhenguo Sword pierced Jilizagu's heart and crushed that strong heart.
Jilizagu showed a ferocious smile. He held the hilt with his backhand. At the same time, the
red giant python ignored the wizard's attack and burst out unprecedented golden light from
its vertical
eyes.
Chi Chi.....
The King of Zhenbei showed signs of melting in the golden light, and a large area of his skin
melted.
The nine fox tails of the woman in white skirt swelled in the wind, like tentacles, entangled
with the Sword of State, and exerted force together with Jilizagu.
Boom!
In the loud sound of the explosion of Qi, the King of Zhenbei could no longer hold the Sword
of State, allowing it to be rolled up into the sky and nailed to the ruins in the distance.
"Hoohoo..."
Jilizagu panted violently, and the broken heart condensed little by little, eliminating the golden flame.
Zhu Jiu and the woman in white skirt finally got precious breathing time.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable. If they continue to fight for the blood pill,
someone will definitely die. But if they retreat at this point, the King of Zhenbei will swallow
the blood pill and will definitely come to kill with the Sword of State, taking away the bloodn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
essence of Jilizagu or Zhu Jiu.
He will not miss the opportunity to be promoted to the second rank.
Dilemma.
King Zhenbei sneered: "The Sword of the Nation is alive, not a dead thing. Only the people of
my Dafeng royal family can use it. You are fighting like a trapped beast, but you are just
delaying your death."
After that, he stretched out his right hand, as if to show it to everyone, and shouted: "Sword!"
A hand with five slender fingers grasped the hilt and pulled it out.
King Zhenbei looked at his empty right hand, turned his head in astonishment, and looked
into the distance.
King Zhenbei's cold face showed rare shock, anger, astonishment, and confusion... It was the
first time he saw someone other than the royal family pull out the Sword of the Nation. The severely injured blue giant first tensed up, as if facing a great enemy, and then found that
the Sword of the Nation did not return to King Zhenbei's hand. He turned his neck in
confusion and looked over with a blank look.
The wizard and the giant python both stopped, and the former retreated several miles, his
eyes always in one direction, in one place, where the Sword of the Nation was. The latter raised his head, adjusted his snake body, and couldn't help squinting his golden
vertical eyes, as if he felt that one eye couldn't see clearly.
In the center of the lotus, the black figure stared at the Zhenguo Sword and the person holding
it with malice.
Only the woman in the white dress had a complicated expression, staring at the figure
infatuatedly, with a look of joy and sorrow.
The one holding the Zhenguo Sword was a man in green clothes with an ordinary appearance.
He pulled out the Zhenguo Sword as if he had done something insignificant. His eyes were fixed on the King of Zhenbei, and the corners of his mouth slowly cracked into a
smile that seemed ferocious, angry, and sad.
"Very good, I can use this sword too."
