Chapter 171 This guy seems a bit tough [Second update, please subscribe]
Nanjun is located in the south, so although it is winter, there has been no snow.
Instead, the rain became more frequent.
Outside the city of Nanjin.
It rained heavily for three days and three nights, and corpses were lying on the wet ground.
In the dense rainforest, pairs of cold and greedy eyes were exposed, staring at the mottled walls of Nanjin City.
After several days of continuous attack and defense, the defenders in Nanjin City felt extremely tired.
Tang Yimo stood on the top of the city wall with a little fatigue on his face.
This fatigue is not only physical, but also psychological.
After fighting for three days and three nights, Tang Yimo was very tired.
He led the way, and even as a cultivator, he felt exhausted now.
Not only are there a large number of these southern barbarians, but most importantly, among them, there are some barbarians with strange methods.
These strange barbarians hid behind enemy lines and chanted for a while, and they were able to make thorns grow on the ground and pierce the defenders of Nanjin City.
Only the Southern Army can suppress these barbarians with strange means.
The Southern Army fought a fierce battle with these barbarians and suffered heavy casualties, which made Tang Yimo's heart bleed and his eyes turn red.
The Nanfu Army is his hard work and the subordinates he trained.
However, now he died tragically outside the city.
The horn sounded again.
The southern barbarians rushed out of the dense forest frantically again, holding spears and guarding the figures wrapped in black robes.
Tang Yimo stood on the city wall and ordered a charge again.
There was shouting and killing between heaven and earth.
The rain continues without end.
South River City.
Tang Xiansheng was lying in a rocking chair, and Tang Guo was sitting beside him, chewing a piece of fruit.
Read the contents of the letter word by word.
Tang Xiansheng's pale face trembled slightly.
"This is not a barbarian..."
"I have been dealing with barbarian soldiers for decades, and I know very well what methods the southern barbarian soldiers have..."
"What has changed?"
Tang Xiansheng covered his chest and coughed slightly.
Three months after the war in Baiyujing ended, great changes took place in the world. At first, Tang Xiansheng did not understand what the purpose of the man in Baiyujing was.
now……
He understood.
"The three-month suspension of hostilities in Baiyujing is to give Dazhou a chance to catch its breath and prepare to fight against a strong enemy. Did the person in Baiyujing... foresee this a long time ago?"
Tang Xiansheng was coughing.
Tang Guo stopped eating the fruit and hurriedly patted Tang Xiansheng's chest.
This made Tang Xiansheng's coughing ease slightly.
"Someone come."
Tang Xiansheng rubbed Tang Guo's head and shouted outside the courtyard.
A strong man from the Southern Army walked over.
"Send someone to write a letter to report the situation in Nanjin City to the Imperial Capital..."
"As I expected, disasters should have occurred in Xijun, Beijun, and Dongyangjun... The Five Barbarians' Rebellion against the Zhou Dynasty has begun again."
"The little emperor should know about this."
Tang Xiansheng said.
"You should personally deliver this letter to the Imperial Capital, and also... send a copy to Baiyu Capital."
Tang Xiansheng thought about it and said again.
“Yes.”
The strong man from the Southern Army bowed, then left the mansion and went to do what Tang Xiansheng had instructed.
Carrying the letter, he rode at full speed to the imperial capital, changing horses at every post station along the way, without stopping.
If it were an ordinary warrior, he would probably be very tired and his body wouldn't be able to bear it.
However, the practitioner continued to run without stopping in one breath, his fatigue was eliminated, and he continued to run.
It’s not just South County.
The letters from North County and West County also arrived in the Imperial Capital at the same time.
Purple Gold Palace.
Early morning.
Yuwen Xiu sat on the dragon throne, squinting his eyes, listening to the old eunuch reciting the news from the three counties, and a gleam of brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"The Five Barbarians are invading the Zhou Dynasty? Ridiculous... Xiang Shaoyun, Tan Taixuan, and Tang Xiansheng all command armies of cultivators, who are no weaker than my Black Dragon Guards. Why should we fear the Five Barbarians?"
"The Hu people could not cause any trouble during the era of the Hundred Schools of Thought. Now, my Great Zhou has an army of cultivators, so it is even more impossible for us to be defeated!"
Yuwen Xiu sneered while sitting on the dragon throne.
"His Majesty……"
under.
Kong Nanfei, dressed in a Confucian robe, stepped out, frowned and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the letter mentioned that the Five Barbarians all have strange means, and are not weaker than cultivators... Moreover, outside of West County, the Peacock Kingdom and the Guifang tribe have joined forces, and it is worrying that the tigers of West County will bypass the pass."
"The Nanjun Nanman tribe is invading, and the defense line of Nanjin City is also in danger."
"In Beijun, the Western Rong army is approaching, and the Western Rong king is personally leading the army. This is enough to show the seriousness of the situation. I think that perhaps the three parties are not exaggerating or making alarmist statements."
Kong Nanfei's words caused all the officials in the court to murmur.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Yuwen Xiu seemed to be lost in thought.
"oh……"
"Lord Kong, what you said makes sense, but... I think that perhaps the three parties have some hidden agenda and want to force our Great Zhou to go to war."
"Now that our Great Zhou is in decline and in imminent danger, only the Black Dragon Guards can help."
"Send a reply. If Beijun wants my Great Zhou to dispatch the Black Dragon Guards, then General Jiang Li will be used in exchange."
"As for West County and South County, there is no need to bother with them."
Yuwen Xiu said.
As soon as the words came out.
Kong Nanfei below suddenly raised his head and stared at Yuwen Xiu with a focused look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"
Kong Nanfei said seriously.
"The Five Barbarians are causing chaos in the Zhou Dynasty. The ones causing chaos...are your majesty's Great Zhou Dynasty!"
The sonorous words lingered in every corner of the Purple Gold Palace.
A moment.
The atmosphere in the Purple Gold Palace seemed to become tense.
None of the ministers dared to breathe.
They looked at Kong Nanfei, then at Yuwen Xiu who was sitting on the dragon throne, with sad expressions on their faces.
The old eunuch bowed but said nothing.
He has no right to interrupt here.
Yuwen Xiu leaned against the dragon throne and looked at Kong Nanfei.
"I, of course, know that this world belongs to me."
…
North Luo City.
Lu Changkong was dressed in armor, and in his hands were three letters.
From South County, West County, and North County.
He asked the strong men from the three counties to come into the city to drink some water, but they were all rejected. The strong men from the three parties all had to rush back to their respective counties to participate in the war.
Lu Changkong looked solemn and did not try to persuade the strong man to stay. He watched the strong man ride away quickly on his horse.
He finished reading the letter in his hand and let out a long breath.
"The Five Barbarians Rebelled Against the Zhou Dynasty... Is this the purpose of Faner's request to stop the war for three months?"
Lu Changkong held the letter and frowned slightly.
Then, he walked towards the island in the middle of the lake.
Beside him, Luo Yue and Luo Cheng stood.
"Sir... every county is guarded by cultivators. Can the Five Barbarians... be better than the cultivators?"
Luo Chengdao.
Lu Changkong shook his head: "Perhaps, things are not as simple as we thought. If it is really a simple Five Barbarians, then it is fine... But the letter said that the Five Barbarians also have special means, which are not weaker than cultivators."
"Perhaps the purpose of Fan'er issuing the Heavenly Secret Order was to have anticipated this..."
Lu Changkong sighed.
We arrived at the lake and took a boat to the island in the middle of the lake.
On the island.
It's like a paradise.
The peach blossoms are gorgeous and the chrysanthemums are brilliant.
Lu Fan was still in seclusion, Ning Zhao was guarding, and no one could enter.
Lu Changkong did not disturb Lu Fan's retreat. He knew that Lu Fan chose to retreat at this time, perhaps because of something very important.
He found Lu Dongxuan.
"Originally, there was no great calamity in the world. However, due to the young master's seclusion, a great calamity occurred in the world..."
In front of Lu Dongxuan, the tea was emitting hot steam.
"Master Lu, do you have a way to overcome the calamity?"
Lu Changkong, dressed in military uniform and sitting cross-legged, asked.
Lu Dongxuan touched the big gold chain around his neck and shook his head: "I... don't know."
far away.
Lu Mu came over holding a wooden stick.
Beside him, there followed Mingyue, a young girl holding a pipa and with her face covered by a veil.
"I will take Mingyue to Xijun to help Xijun... I will do my best."
Lu Mu replied.
Lu Dongxuan nodded, "Okay."
far away.
Jing Yue walked over holding the Jingtian Sword tightly.
"Then I will go to Nanjun."
Jing Yue said: "I feel that my sword intent has reached a bottleneck. Perhaps... I can gain something from this trip."
Lu Dongxuan glanced at Jing Yue in surprise.
"good."
Jing Yue smiled and inserted the Jingtian Sword into the sword case made by Gongshu Yu, with light surging in his eyes.
Ning Zhao didn't say anything.
She had no intention of leaving the island to help the counties.
Her purpose is just to protect the landing fans.
On the island, Yi Yue and Ni Yu did not leave. They were Lu Fan's maids, and they could not leave without the master's permission.
Bai Qingniao held her chick in her arms, her face a little panicked, "Uncle Lu, is Uncle Jiang in Beijun? Is he in danger?"
She ran to Lu Changkong and asked.
Lu Changkong was startled, then nodded slightly, "Although Jiang Li is in Beijun, his life is not in danger. Tan Taixuan is not going to kill Jiang Li. As long as Beijun is not destroyed, Jiang Li will be safe."
"Then I still have to go to Beijun!" Bai Qingniao said seriously.
Xiao Fengyi's chicken head popped out from the gap in her chest and kept screaming.
"Sister Bluebird, I'll go with you!"
In the distance, Nie Shuang, with his upper body naked and beads of sweat all over his body, walked towards them and said.
The white bluebird nodded.
"Luo Cheng, go with them and protect Qingniao and Shuang'er."
After hesitating for a while, Lu Changkong nodded and said.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Luo Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Then the white bluebird ran away, and after a while, it returned with a basket on its back. In the basket were two fluffy chicks that blinked their curious eyes.
…
Baiyujing, the second floor of the pavilion.
In the sky, there were bits of white snow floating down, covering the entire world with a silver-white blanket, as if the entire world was wrapped in a fluffy coat.
The calm Beiluo Lake was covered with a layer of white mist.
There seemed to be an invisible airflow on Lu Fan who was sitting upright in the wheelchair. The snow fell down and was bounced away before it landed on Lu Fan.
Buzz...
Lu Fan slowly opened his eyes.
He was wearing a crane cloak, which was quite warm. Lu Fan understood that it must have been Ning Zhao who secretly put it on him.
He twisted his neck and waved his hand.
The bronze wine glass placed on the nanmu table came flying over and landed in Lu Fan's hand.
The bronze wine cup was icy cold, and a hint of icy feeling flowed along Lu Fan's fingertips and spread throughout his body.
Lu Fan's mind moved.
The wine in the bronze goblet began to boil and roll automatically.
Lu Fan raised the corner of his mouth: "It seems... it can derive attributes."
The plum wine in the cup was warm, emitting a misty heat. After taking a sip, the sour taste flowed into the stomach through the mouth.
His eyes shifted to look at Beiluo Lake.
At the bottom of the lake, the origin of the plane is getting bigger and bigger, and has gradually become the size of a basketball.
There seemed to be five-colored energy slowly condensing within it.
Lu Fan leaned back in his wheelchair, not seeming to be in a hurry.
The lines in his eyes fluctuated and changed, and in an instant, his sight encompassed the entire Zhou Dynasty, and he was in control of everything.
"A wanderer?"
"It's a good whetstone."
…
West County.
The tiger is circling the pass.
The Overlord was wrapped in dark demonic energy. He held the long axe and swung it. The axe blade wrapped in black energy suddenly swept out, and several Guifang warriors who were unaware of pain were directly chopped into pieces.
The Overlord held a long axe and a halberd and rushed to the front.
He was like a god or demon, wielding the Gan Qi, and no one could stop him.
Behind him, the Xiang family army and the Xiliang cavalry were fighting with red faces. Under the leadership of the Overlord, the Xijun army, which had been in a weak position under the oppression of the coalition forces, actually gained the upper hand!
In the Guifang army, the blond man on the chair looked at the bald Buddhist monk on the chair on the giant elephant's back.
Both of them had the urge to take action.
Looking at each other from a distance, the two seemed to be asking each other questions.
Who will strike first?
The blond man smiled, bowed slightly and waved his hand gracefully.
It was as if he was saying to the monk, you go first.
The Buddhist monks of the Peacock Kingdom said nothing.
He sat cross-legged on the back of the giant elephant and chanted a Buddhist name.
Suddenly...
As the giant elephant took steps, the ground began to shake and rumble under its feet, as if it was about to crack.
Some numb old monks covered in red cloth were walking in front of the giant elephant.
He walked barefoot step by step towards the direction of Overlord.
The Overlord chopped off the soldiers of the Peacock Kingdom with one axe, but the Peacock Kingdom's army left behind corpses and dispersed like a tide.
The Overlord stared, his strong body standing still, looking forward.
The giant elephant trampled forward, and the monks and Buddhas kept walking.
"Prefect!"
Xu Chu stared and said.
"Where is the Xiang family army?"
The Overlord twisted his neck, and veins covered his entire body.
"war!"
Boom boom boom! The Xiang family soldiers behind him were all clashing swords and shields, roaring.
The Overlord did not hesitate and led the Xiang army to charge out.
When I stepped on it, the ground seemed to crack.
He held an axe in one hand and a halberd in the other.
A low roar exploded on the battlefield.
The Overlord rose from the ground and stepped on the head of an old monk wrapped in red cloth, crushing his head to pieces.
And the Overlord used this strength to continue charging towards the giant elephant.
Xu Chu waved two huge iron balls with sharp spikes and rushed into the group of old monks wrapped in red cloth together with the Xiang family army.
These old monks had numb expressions on their faces, chanted Buddhist mantras, and fought together with Xiang's army.
In the Guifang army.
The blond man watched with interest.
For a mere Qi Condensation Realm being, it didn’t matter whether the blond man took action or not, because there was no suspense at all.
It can only be regarded as a lucky draw.
Sengfo likes to subdue demons, so he, the Lord of Light, gives Sengfo a favor.
Huh? Suddenly.
The blond man's heart skipped a beat.
He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky.
Faintly, they seemed to feel that there was a pair of indifferent eyes in the sky watching them.
The feeling of being watched made the blond man feel nervous.
"This is just a low-level martial arts world... maybe I'm too sensitive."
The blond man muttered.
On the battlefield.
The Overlord crushed the ground with his feet, held the halberd in his hand, and rushed out to kill.
The giant elephant raised its trunk.
The Overlord stepped on the giant elephant's trunk and used the force to fly in front of the monk.
And at this moment...
The Buddhist monk in a cassock with his palms clasped together...was looking up at the sky in a daze.
The Overlord fixed his eyes, taking advantage of the other party's daze.
He swung the long axe in his hand fiercely.
The sharp axe blade chopped off the monk's neck.
“Crack…”
It was like the sound of bones breaking.
Although it was not cut off, the monk's neck seemed to be strangely twisted.
His body was like a cannonball, chopped off by the Overlord's tremendous force, and fell on the ground of the battlefield after being cut off from the giant elephant's back.
The Overlord did not rest.
The feeling this Buddhist monk gave him was no weaker than the ancient statue in the central palace of Longmen.
Therefore, he did not dare to neglect it.
To seize opportunities, we must expand our advantages.
The Gan Qi dances.
The Overlord jumped off the giant elephant's back.
He stomped hard on the monk who was staggering to his feet from the ground.
The monk's eyes seemed to finally regain focus.
"magic?"
A strange smile appeared on the monk's lips.
Release your clasped palms.
It turned into a clenched fist.
Smash it out suddenly.
Boom!!! The invisible fist shadows gathered into a phantom, transformed into a huge fist, and smashed out fiercely.
The Overlord jumped down from the back of the giant elephant, and his pupils shrank when he saw the punch.
A heavy shield blocked in front of him.
The Buddha's fist hit the shield.
There was a loud bang.
The shield exploded.
The Overlord's body flew backwards, fell to the ground, and rolled over for more than ten times.
The monk was sitting in a horse stance, swinging his fists continuously, with a rather evil smile on his face.
This punch...
If you are only at the Qi Condensation Stage, you will surely die.
but……
Soon, the monk's eyes fixed.
because……
He discovered that the Overlord, who had been hit by his concentrated punch, actually slowly climbed up from the ground.
"Tizo..."
The Overlord stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of madness and excitement, and his muscles bulged slightly.
"Finally, I feel a little pressure."
The monk was startled.
This guy...seems a bit tough.
