The battle begins, the last trumpet sound (Part 1)
The rare torrential rain in the beast world has not stopped, and it seems to overturn the sky. Even the soil of the mountains and forests has been saturated with rain and can no longer bear it.
The battle that day was carried out in such an environment.
Diwu Sheng wiped the raindrops on his face. The two armies were facing each other, and the solemn atmosphere made him lose the thought of making a trick to prevent rain. After observing the surrounding terrain, Diwu Sheng sent a voice message to Feng Qinxue:
"The commander guessed right. The beast army has indeed surrounded us near Tianxing Mountain."
Feng Qinxue glanced at the ancestor who was suspended in the front and pressed the battle line in a dark green robe, and nodded lightly.
Qin Ruqing came back that day, her expression was calm, but inexplicably made people feel dangerous. She did not explain too much to everyone, just briefly said a few words.
"The ancient beast king built the blood pool and held a mysterious sacrificial ceremony in order to forge a new body to help him revive."
"The fusion of his soul and the new body is the most critical and dangerous step, which requires a large amount of power from the origin rules of the two worlds. For this, he did not hesitate to use all his strength to launch an unprecedented war. The blood shed in the war will be washed away by the rainstorm, seep into the ground, and finally be led by the blood formation to the Tianxing Mountain Blood Pool for his use."
"The day he starts to merge his soul is our chance."
"At that time, our army will cooperate with the beast army and be surrounded by them to Tianxing Mountain, where a great battle will be held. The tribal leaders from all over the country will go to the battle, and on our side, the Fifth Commander, Commander Feng, and Lord Feng will be responsible for facing the enemy head-on and holding them back."
When it came to this, all the senior leaders held their breath. They heard the unfinished meaning in Qin Ruqing's words.
Several commanders were arranged, even Lord Feng, the ancestor, was arranged, so what about her?
Sure enough, Qin Ruqing then said her own mission: "And I will be responsible for sneaking into Tianxing Mountain and killing the ancient beast king who is the weakest during the soul fusion period."
The tone was flat, no different from telling her that she was going out to collect wind.
There was silence.
Everyone almost thought they had heard wrongly. The commander wanted to sneak into the heavily guarded Tianxing Mountain alone to kill the ancient beast king who had lived for who knows how many years and whose strength was unpredictable?
"No, commander! The soul fusion is the weakest and most critical period, and the ancient beast king will surely make arrangements. By then, Tianxing Mountain will be surrounded like an iron barrel. How can the commander go alone?!"
Several people started arguing. Feng Zun Shang stood in the team with his hands folded, and finally said: "Why don't I go."
Feng Zun Shang is the most powerful person in the world of immortal cultivation. He believes that he is just a patchwork to prolong his life. If he can use this life to kill the ancient beast king, it is worth it.
But Qin Ruqing shook his head: "I said infiltration, naturally someone in Tianxing Mountain will support me."
"And there are many barriers in Tianxing Mountain. The old ancestor's cultivation is too high, there is no need to hide, it will directly trigger the barrier, and then all plans will fail. But I have a way to sneak in quietly. Moreover, the army outside also needs the old ancestor to suppress it. There are more than a dozen demon kings in the seven mountains and eight veins. It is not so easy to deal with. The old ancestor's mission is much more important than mine."
Qin Ruqing made it very clear. Feng Zun has her own important task - to support the human army and fight against more than a dozen demon kings, and also to dispel the doubts of the beasts.
Otherwise, when the two armies clashed, the highest commander of the human race was not there, and the problem would be obvious at a glance.
"Even if the commander can sneak in at the beginning, it is inevitable that the ancient beast king will be alarmed in the last stage, in front of the blood pool on the top of the mountain. At that time, there will be a head-on confrontation. Commander, do you have any way to deal with it?" Feng Qinxue always speaks concisely and directly to the point.
The most critical point of this battle is whether Qin Ruqing is sure to defeat the ancient beast king. If the ancient beast king is not killed, but instead makes her alert and angry, then the human race will be in danger.
Qin Ruqing smiled slightly, "As the descendant of the Taoist ancestor, I have my own trump cards and methods." But he did not elaborate on what they were.
He opened his palm again and summoned an ancient compass, "Besides, I am not alone, there are also countless heroic souls of our ancestors fighting with me."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the compass in Qin Ruqing's hand. This was, everyone's spirit was shocked... Fusheng Immortal Venerable, the last bit of power left for them before Guixu completely sealed it.
This power may not be really useful, but at this moment, it really gave them great strength.
In the end, all the senior leaders reached a consensus. In the rain, they bowed deeply to Qin Ruqing, and after standing up, they said very solemnly:
"Then we will be on the battlefield, waiting for good news from the commander!"
Waiting for good news.
The sound of rain brought everything back to reality, with a sharp wolf howl, shiny fur, sharp claws shining with cold light, and the six-foot-tall black wolf completely revealed its beast form.
He has five beast pupils, and even the edge of the fifth beast pupil is lined up with a clear flesh scar, like his sixth eye that has not yet opened.
It is the Wolf King.
As the leader of the tribe who received the blood baptism in Guixu and successfully returned to his ancestral bloodline, the Wolf King is the leader of the beast tribes in this battle, and all the beast leaders in the mountains and rivers follow his command.
At this time, he fully displayed his original form, as if he had sent a signal, and the demon kings all let out low roars and followed suit to unfold their beast forms, transforming into huge monsters.
On the human side, Feng Zun Shang's feet floated in the air, standing at the forefront of the team. The old hand held a green sword steadily and powerfully. The sword, which was fed by the blood of countless battles, seemed to have smelled the scent of the war and rang lightly with excitement.
Standing on the left side of Feng Zun, Diwu Sheng made a seal with his hands, and green seals appeared around his body. On
the right side, Feng Qinxue had an indifferent expression and a cold temperament. Countless ice-crystal sword shadows flowed and flashed behind her, making her face look like the Queen of Ice and Snow. The abbot
of the Western Region held a staff in his hand, the leader of Taiyi Sect practiced both sword shadow and compass, and many heads of the Jinpinshi family were scattered in all directions...
The war was about to break out.
The heavy rain made this world even more solemn and quiet. The wolf king's eyes swept towards the direction of Tianxing Mountain obscurely, and then retracted them imperceptibly.
He had done everything he could, and the rest depended on the human himself.
A loud roar. At the same time, Lord Feng raised the sword in his hand.
"Start the war!!!"
"Kill!!!"
Death and bloodshed occurred in an instant, and the collision was too rapid to form a relative stillness.
It was like a slow-motion black-and-white movie.
Only the sound of rain remained, gurgling over the dead souls, holding hands with blood, and flowing towards the secret unknown.
//
At the foot of Tianxing Mountain, there was a group of people hiding on the branches of a tall ancient tree.
Qin Ruqing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and her overwhelming spiritual consciousness spread out. Soon after, she whispered quickly:
"The battle over there has begun, and the blood array has begun to collect blood. We can move now."
Because of this sentence, several people who were also hiding in the branches of the ancient tree moved. Qirong hooked his legs on the tree and stuck his head out upside down. Looking up, there were several people standing side by side on the thick branch that his legs were hooked on.
Lu Wei, Tang Zifeng, Feng Mingyue, Diwu Lingyu, Diwu Youlin... The talented people who competed with her for glory in the past are all here this time.
Seeing their eyes on him, Qin Ruqing paused and emphasized again: "Do you really want to come with me? I am not sure if I can fight against the Ancient Beast King. If you follow me, you may die."
Qi Rong loosened his legs and rolled down the tree. He didn't make any sound when he landed. "If you die, then die." His tone was very nonchalant.
"If you fail, my sister, our entire human race will probably have no way to survive. It's better to die now than to die sooner or later."
"Your brainless brother finally said something decent." Mingying's words drew a dissatisfied glare from Qirong, and she glared back righteously, with her arms around her chest, the purple-red shawl hanging from her forearms shining brightly, "Such an important matter, you can't let the limelight grab all by yourself, you have to give us a share!" Turning to look at
Qin Ruqing, her beautiful eyes took on a hint of solemnity, "Besides, we are not fakes, but geniuses who have competed with you all the way on the road of inheritance and have truly obtained the ancient inheritance."
Not sure which word made Qin Ruqing feel relieved, she glanced at those bright and determined eyes, and made a decision at that moment.
"Okay." She nodded. "Then, let's go together." After
Qin Ruqing finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
It was as if fate was being drawn at this moment, and the hand lurking in the dark reached down in the void and clenched fiercely. Everyone's heart sank, and from this moment on, they truly realized what it meant to fight to the death.
Qirong was extremely uncomfortable with this atmosphere, because it was quiet, and the movement of the war not far away seemed to have come over. He half wanted to relax the atmosphere, and half asked in confusion: "Since the blood array can absorb the blood of war, why don't we destroy it? Wouldn't the ceremony be unable to proceed in this way?"
"It will alarm the enemy." It was Feng Mingyue who answered. She stood in the shade of the tree with a sword in her arms like a shadow, not speaking, and had almost no sense of existence.
This is exactly the most amazing part. Sword cultivators are very aggressive and have the highest presence.
Feng Mingyue can conceal herself to this extent, which shows that she has truly made up for her shortcomings and has achieved great success in sword cultivation.
Qin Ruqing nodded to Feng Mingyue and agreed with her.
"Once the blood array is destroyed, the Ancient Beast King will naturally know that humans have spied on his plan. At that time, he will definitely choose another time to fuse his bodies, and the guards will be more strict afterwards, making it even more impossible for us to succeed."
"Only now, when everything goes smoothly according to the Ancient Beast King's plan and he is sure of it and begins to try to fuse souls, do we have a chance."
Qin Ruqing said as he squatted down, placed his hands flat on the wet ground washed by rain, and sensed it carefully. After confirming that everything was correct, he said firmly, "It's time, let's go up the mountain immediately."
His extremely black eyes looked around at everyone and explained, "This time, our purpose is not to fight with the people guarding Tianxing Mountain, but to sneak all the way to the top of the mountain and assassinate the ancient beast king who is fusing his body."
"There is only one chance, everyone give me your all, even if it costs your life. This battle can only be won, not lost!" At
this moment, Qin Ruqing was no longer the peer who competed with them in the past, but the only descendant of the Taoist ancestor, the true leader of the human race.
Everyone stood up, "We will obey the commander's orders!"
"Move!"
Qin Ruqing hooked his hand and took the lead in the front. Behind him, more than a dozen black shadows flashed to the position behind Tianxing Mountain like lightning.
At this time, a team of patrol soldiers in armor passed by, unaware of the movement here.
If Tianxing Mountain is divided into the "front gate" and the "back gate", the front gate is the white jade staircase leading up the mountain.
However, the staircase is not wide, and there are soldiers patrolling all the time. When people walk on it, their traces can be seen at a glance, just like "Come and catch me" written on their body.
Qin Ru used elemental transformation to explore the road early in the morning. The place they chose to go up the mountain this time was the back of Tianxing Mountain.
Tianxing Mountain is steep, and the back is a straight, nearly 90-degree vertical mountain wall, so it is the most sparsely patrolled area.
Standing in front of the cliff, Qin Ruqing raised his chin: "We have a quarter of an hour. In a quarter of an hour, the patrol team in the southwest corner will search here. In a quarter of an hour, we have to climb from here to a place that they can't see with their naked eyes
." "How do we climb this way?" Little Pink Flower put one hand on the smooth cliff. As far as she could see, there was almost no place for hand climbing, and she looked embarrassed.
"Hurry up." Qin Ruqing hugged his chest, with a relaxed look on his face, "I forgot to say that the first barrier is easier to pass, but there are many restrictions. Flying spiritual weapons cannot be used in the barrier. There are rules and restrictions. And there are flying beast soldiers in the air."
With a clang, Feng Mingyue pulled out a short dagger with a cold glow, "If there is no place for hands to climb, use a sword." His tone was calm, with the Feng family's usual crispness. After saying that, he looked at Qin Ruqing, "What about the first barrier?"
"Because the range is too large, it covers the entire Tianxing Mountain without any blind spots, so the first barrier is the most common protective barrier. How to get through it specifically..." Qin Ruqing raised an eyebrow, "Do you need my help?"
"No need." Feng Mingyue refused in a calm voice. Her hand was on the slender curved sword at her waist, so fast that people couldn't see how she made the move. When she reacted, the sword had returned to the sheath, and Feng Mingyue was already standing in the barrier.
Qirong's mouth opened wide, obviously shocked by this move, "Fairy Mingyue, how did you do this? Using sword energy, won't it trigger the barrier?"
Feng Mingyue looked at Qirong, but before she could answer, a voice came from the side, "As long as it's fast and sharp enough, it's fine."
It was the party minister. As he spoke, his hand unconsciously touched the sword at his waist, his expression was measuring, as if he was comparing his own attack to see if he could be as powerful as Feng Mingyue. "To put it simply, it is to take advantage of the barrier's carelessness..."
As if to demonstrate to Qirong, he also drew out the sword with a whoosh. The sword flashed, and Dang Qing was already in the barrier.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Qirong raised his thumb in agreement, "You sword cultivators are still powerful!" Then he became worried, "But what should we do if we are not sword cultivators?"
Next, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers. The Buddhist disciple Huineng recited a passage of scriptures, and a "ε"-shaped spell appeared around his body, and then he swung through the barrier.
Tang Zifeng was even simpler. He summoned a bell and sat on it cross-legged. The bell floated up and carried him through the barrier. Apparently he could even avoid the restriction of not being able to use flying spiritual tools.
In the end, the only people who didn't pass the barrier were Lu Wei and Xiao Fenhua.
Lu Wei was very calm and said, "As an alchemy cultivator, I really have no way to deal with this barrier. Although I can use a sword, I probably can't do it to the extent that it can be broken without being alarmed."
Xiao Fenhua also shook her head in shame: "This, I can't do anything about it."
She can use luck to avoid many risks, even more than directly achieving her goals, but the barrier is a dead object, so her ability is a bit inappropriate.
Qin Ruqing said nothing about this, but walked forward with a smile, holding one of them at a time, with invisible waves surging around him, and just openly holding the two of them into the barrier.
Mingying couldn't help but sneer: "You are quite playboy-like with your arms like this."
Qin Ruqing just raised an eyebrow at this teasing, and turned to look at Tang Zifeng, "How come you are the only one who can ride a flying spiritual device?"
Tang Zifeng said: "You said that flying spiritual devices are restricted in the barrier, but there are bird-beast patrol soldiers patrolling in the sky, and the barrier does not restrict creatures that can be seen in the air."
"Hey, does this have anything to do with Brother Tang's bell being able to fly?" Qirong asked.
"Because, my bell instrument is not an instrument." Tang Zifeng replied briefly, patted the bell wall, "Time is running out, I will carry everyone, let's fly up together."
Qin Ruqing motioned for others to go up first, knowing clearly in her heart.
Tang Zifeng said that his bell instrument is not an instrument. According to her understanding, it is the "biomimetic technology" of the instrument refining version. The barrier determined that Xiao Tang's bell instrument is not an instrument, but a kind of flying bird, so it can naturally pass.
Riding on the bell instrument, flying over a hundred feet, Qin Ruqing called a stop, put his hand on the mountain wall for a while, turned around and said:
"Open up this mountain wall, and inside is the second layer, where the ordinary blood pool is. The beasts guarding here are all demon king-level beasts, and the barrier of isolation is very special. You must hold a brand to pass through without injury."
Spreading his palm upwards, a golden beast head rune appeared in the center of his palm.
"Isn't this the mark they used when the Beast God blessed them last time?" Feng Mingyue said.
"That's right."
Diwu Youlin didn't ask where Qin Ruqing got the mark from, but just pondered and showed embarrassment, "But we don't have this mark."
"I have studied this mark. The core lies in the original law of the beast world. As long as this law is copied, this mark can also be copied." Qin Ruqing said.
Before he could show his joy, he heard Qin Ruqing say: "The most difficult place is at the top of the mountain, at the third barrier. According to the information I have received, in addition to the ancient beast king, there are six demon kings guarding the top of the mountain."
Six demon kings, not including the ancient beast king... Everyone's heart sank.
Tang Zifeng looked at Qin Ruqing and said in a deep voice, "We can help you hold back the demon king. This is the meaning of our companionship with you." He
removed all obstacles for Qin Ruqing so that she could concentrate on fighting the ancient beast king.
"Yes, we hold back the six demon kings. Sister, your side is the most important. Keep your strength to attack the beast king with all your strength." Qi Rong followed up.
Qin Ruqing did not refuse pretentiously. She nodded and agreed with this statement, "Then assign each of us to fight. If we divide it again at the top of the mountain, it will be too late."
They could not start discussing how to fight when the battle started.
Before Qin Ruqing could speak, the silent Fifth Lingyu said, "I can fight a demon king alone."
Everyone looked at him.
Qin Ruqing did not object, but only reminded: "The one who was chosen by the ancient beast king to stay by his side to protect him is undoubtedly the most powerful one, and he has already brainwashed him, and he is willing to die for him. If you fight alone, it will be very stressful."
"Did my two Qinglian Dao bodies swallowed in vain? When I was in the sixth domain, Daozu also gave me a gift. Now I can master the power of chaos, and with the heart of Xuanming, it is not a problem to fight a demon king alone." The fifth feather glanced at Qin Ruqing and explained lightly.
"Okay. Then you fight a demon king alone." Qin Ruqing nodded. She knew that although the fifth feather had been perverted for a long time and had a free and easy personality, he was arrogant. Since he took the initiative to ask, he would definitely not let down.
"I can also use my natal bell to trap a demon king." Tang Zifeng said. When Qin Ruqing looked at him with disapproval, he emphasized with unprecedented firmness, "Don't worry. You also know that my bell can attack and defend. If it's about attacking, it's still a little bit lacking, but in terms of defense, after the combination of man and weapon, it has reached the level of a divine weapon. Not to mention defeat, it is still capable of trapping a demon king." "But
if the man and weapon are combined, the weapon will be destroyed and the person will die. Even if the weapon is not destroyed, the person will be seriously injured." Qin Ruqing frowned.
"Okay." Tang Zifeng looked at Qin Ruqing and only replied with two words this time.
Qin Ruqing slowly exhaled, "Okay."
At the last moment, everyone was fighting with their heads held high, and everyone was determined to sacrifice their lives, including herself.
She couldn't be soft-hearted.
"I can also trap a demon king alone." Feng Mingyue's tone was calm, but it was convincing.
Needless to say, this person's combat power was the best after Qin Ruqing.
"I..." Mingying just uttered the first word, but when everyone looked at her, she inexplicably felt a little lacking in confidence. She knew that this was not the time to brag, so she bit her lip and changed her words, "I can hold back a demon king together with another person."
Her eyes swept over the remaining people who had not made any arrangements, and finally stopped at Qirong, "Qin Qirong, can you cooperate with me?"
"I'm a magic cultivator, and you go with the extreme force. We are one hard and one soft, which is just right for us."
Qirong exclaimed and scratched his head, "Meββ!" Looking at Mingying glaring at her, with an attitude of "If you dare to go against this fairy, I will kill you", she obeyed, "Okay."
Mingying breathed a sigh of relief.
Dang Qing also took the initiative to select his partner, "Young Patriarch, can we go together?"
Diwu Youlin nodded without hesitation, "Of course, no problem."
Rui Hehua looked around and found that there were only four people left, her, Qin family Lu Wei, Lu family saint Lu Zhiyao, and Huineng, the Buddhist son.
Lu Zhiyao frowned and looked at Huineng, "Buddhist son, can we go together?"
Huineng put his hands together, "Good."
Rui Hehua said with a bitter face, "You have divided the six demon kings into a circle, it seems that you have finished the division, then what should Fairy Lu Wei and I do?"
Qin Ruqing glanced at her and made the decision herself: "Third sister is responsible for healing everyone's injuries. Master Rui... you have to use luck to help us avoid fatal injuries when each of us is injured."
Rui Hehua looked up in surprise... How did the commander know her ability?
How could she know that when Qin Ruqing was in the Sixth Domain, she had already seen her calculating her luck like a miser every day.
Gritting her teeth, she dared not refuse at this juncture, "I obey the commander's order!"
Everyone's tasks were assigned, needless to say Qin Ruqing's, she had to bear most of the dangers when she was fighting the Beast King.
Spreading out the palm, the golden mark emerged. Qin Ruqing took a deep breath and quickly formed a seal. Soon, golden beast heads with the same aura appeared on everyone's palms.
"Everyone, be on high alert." Qin Ruqing ordered calmly, "Go in!"
