Chapter 416 Haha, I’m leaving!
Ivory Mountain.
There is a vast mountain outside the city of Jixiangfu, which is named because it looks like a giant elephant standing upright, especially with a pair of giant tusks that are particularly prominent. According to legend, this is where a precious elephant god from ancient times sat in the human world and his body turned into mountains and rivers.
Some even say that on full-moon nights, one can often hear the immortal cry of the precious elephant's spirit.
After all, Jixiang Prefecture is the capital city, with the Northern Cold King in charge. Those gangs can engage in small-scale fighting, but if they want to engage in large-scale fights, or even a battle of powerful men... it would be too arrogant and would be tantamount to self-destruction.
Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in Jixiang Mansion that all large-scale battles will be resolved in Xiangya Mountain.
As for the aftermath of the battle and matters like dealing with corpses, there is no need to worry at all, as someone will naturally take care of it and nothing will be left behind.
The ones cleaning up the battlefield are from Cangyue Villa.
This villa has only appeared in Xiangya Mountain in the past 20 years, and it is very mysterious. There are all kinds of activities such as eating, drinking, whoring and gambling inside, and it specializes in the business of gangsters. No matter whether you are from the black and white world or demons and ghosts, as long as you come, it will receive you.
When a battle begins, Cangyue Villa will cooperate in setting up formations and sealing off the mountain, and taking care of miscellaneous matters, which is quite considerate. In gratitude for this convenience, the Jianghu people in Jixiang Prefecture will regard this villa as their own power and come to patronize it frequently, and the business of the villa is becoming more and more prosperous. As for those who want to deal with Cangyue Villa, they will be resisted by everyone.
The owner of Cangyue Villa is called Madam Xie.
In the Northland, everyone knows that she is graceful and good at dancing, but no one knows her past. This woman can stir up the whole Jixiangfu and even the Northland with her own strength, but her past is always a mystery.
Many prominent figures in the underworld have admired her, but no one has ever been able to touch her clothes.
There were also some people who wanted to approach her using more radical means, but later those people died, but she is still alive.
This night.
Cangyue Mountain Villa has activated the mountain sealing formation again.
This mountain-sealing formation does not mean that all roads in Xiangya Mountain are blocked, because if that were the case, the originally scheduled battle could not be fought.
Instead, a red cloud that obscures all auras will rise, blocking all sights of the mountain. Anyone who frequently visits the mountain will know that another war is about to begin, and will naturally stop going up the mountain.
If you are not afraid of death, you can of course get closer, but you will have to bear the consequences at your own risk.
On a full moon night, on top of Ivory Mountain, within the red clouds.
In the lobby of Cangyue Villa, a middle-aged man with a halo on his head, accompanied by a large young man, had already arrived here early.
"I always feel that... there is something dangerous tonight."
The middle-aged man sat on a tall chair with a solemn expression.
Click, click...
The huge young man just held a fruit and ate it quietly without saying anything, as if the middle-aged man's words were not directed to him.
"What are you worried about, brother?"
Before he finished speaking, a silver bell-like laughter came from outside the house.
Before the person arrived, the laughter was heard. A tall and graceful middle-aged beautiful woman had already walked in. She was wearing a purple tasseled dress, her hair was tied up in a high bun, and she wore several dazzling hairpins. She had a silver face, phoenix eyes and eyebrows, and she was beautiful with a stunning charm.
This woman is Madam Xie from Cangyue Villa.
And that man turned out to be the overlord of Jixiang Mansion, the most mysterious Uncle Kun of Xicheng!
Judging from the way Mrs. Xie addressed him, their relationship didn't seem simple.
If this news were to be released, it would probably give Jixiang Mansion a slight shock.
Uncle Kun, also surnamed Xie!
"I wonder if this would be a good time." Uncle Kun pondered, with worry in his eyes.
"You have long wanted to annex Nan Batian and bring Nancheng under your control. This will be an important step for you to dominate Jixiang Prefecture. Without Nancheng, your power will never be able to surpass Bald Liu and Fourth Master Zhao."
Mrs. Xie came closer and sat opposite Uncle Kun.
"But Nan Batian has a lot of connections. You were worried that when you dealt with him, the other two would find a chance to intervene, which would make it difficult to deal with. That's why you kept your troops on hold for a long time."
"This time, that young man who came from nowhere suddenly showed up and took over the entire Nan Tyrant's forces... It was really a good opportunity. If you don't declare war first, Bald Liu and Mr. Zhao will do the same after a while. By then... maybe everyone will have to share the fat piece of meat in Nancheng."
With just a few words, she guessed Uncle Kun's thoughts completely.
"Haha, my dear sister, people say that I am good at planning. In front of you, I really have no secrets at all." Uncle Kun smiled and said, "Then do you know what I am worried about?"
"It's nothing more than..."
Madam Xie thought for a moment and said, "How high must the cultivation level of this guy be to have defeated Nan Batian in that battle? In order not to miss this opportunity, you hastily declared war. If his strength is really beyond imagination, then you will end up losing more than you gain."
"That's right." Uncle Kun nodded with a smile on his face.
"You don't seem to be worried again?" Mrs. Xie asked.
"Because I know that since you, my sister, have already thought of this, you will definitely help me prepare, right?" Uncle Kun asked with a smile.
"Haha, we are not siblings." Madam Xie also laughed and said, "We are just relatives. How do you know that I would offend others for you?"
"We are relatives after all, but you and others are not even relatives." Uncle Kun seemed to be certain of something, and said, "I am sure that apart from me, no one else would keep a force like Cangyue Villa after unifying Jixiang Mansion, right?"
"That's not necessarily true..."
Madam Xie replied without comment, and then continued: "I will definitely not help you deal with others, but tonight is the night of the full moon. Legend has it that the precious elephant fighting spirit of Ivory Mountain often awakens at this time..."
Without further ado, I’ll just stop here.
Uncle Kun is also a smart man, so he naturally understood what she meant.
He couldn't help but feel relieved, and smiled, "I have already paid a great price to ask a sword cultivator of the Great Snow Mountain to help us. I shouldn't have any more worries after I asked that kind of existence to come. If you... um, happen to have the help of the revived fighting spirit of the Ivory Mountain, then it would be a sure thing."
“No matter how powerful that newcomer is, he can’t be a terrestrial immortal, right?” Mrs. Xie’s eyes moved, full of confidence.
"There is absolutely no such possibility." Uncle Kun said firmly.
If he were an immortal on earth, why would he go through so much trouble? He could just come to find him himself and all problems would be solved.
After a pause, he continued, "Perhaps, there is no need for these two beings to take action. My own strength alone is enough to defeat this fool."
"Oh? Is there any deeper meaning behind your arrangement, brother?" Mrs. Xie asked again.
"Don't play dumb. How could I hide my arrangement on the mountain from you?" Uncle Kun said with a smile.
"I'll have the main road up the mountain cleared, without any defenses, leading straight to the Summit Villa. And on the dangerous roads up the mountain on both sides, more than a thousand elite soldiers are ambushed. When the time comes..."
There was a sinister and cunning gleam in his eyes.
"Ordinary people would not dare to go up the mountain directly from the main road when they see that the main road is clear and empty. They would definitely suspect that I have an ambush on the main road. But as long as he walks onto the small road, haha, the heavy killing will begin."
"With your help, I have the best time, the best location, and the best people on this Ivory Mountain." Uncle Kun sneered, "How can I lose?"
"Even if he manages to kill his way here, my son is still here..."
He looked at the young man who was crunching fruit nearby.
Just at this moment, he had finished eating the fruit in his hand. The man threw away the core and searched in his clothes, but found that it was gone.
So he stood up and said, "Dad, I'm going to the orchard."
"..." Uncle Kun's momentum was lost, and he rolled his eyes and said, "You only know how to eat!"
When they were talking enthusiastically, suddenly, an abrupt question was heard at the lobby door.
"Excuse me……"
"Is Uncle Kun from Xicheng here?"
Uncle Kun looked over in the direction of the sound and was suddenly startled.
The person standing at the door was actually a young man in brocade clothes with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Judging from his appearance, he was very similar to the new leader of South City described by his subordinates.
But……
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Uncle Kun asked sternly.
"My name is Wang Qi. I received your declaration of war and came here specially to join the war." Li Chu replied politely.
"What?"
Uncle Kun was surprised.
He looked behind Li Chu and saw that it was empty, without a single person, and felt somewhat confused.
"Are you here alone?"
"Yes." Li Chu nodded, "Because I don't have many men, I don't want them to come to this kind of dangerous and unknown battle. It would be bad if it caused casualties."
What he said was genuine, but it sounded strange to Uncle Kun's ears.
If you don’t want to use your men to fight in dangerous battles… then what do you want them for?
Just shouting 666?
He asked again, "How did you get up here?"
"Just... walk all the way up along the main road." Li Chu was also a little puzzled as to why this uncle kept asking strange questions.
However, out of self-restraint, he still answered seriously.
"Just walk all the way up here? Aren't you afraid of an ambush?"
Uncle Kun was suddenly confused. He couldn't figure out whether the person in front of him was too naive or too smart.
This young man, is he really not afraid of an ambush? "Why should he be afraid?" Li Chu looked at him strangely, "I'm just here to beat people up, right?"
As for who they are, how many people there are, and where they are...
Is it important? Uncle Kun looked at the man in front of him and realized that it seemed difficult to communicate with him effectively through words, so he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Aqiang! Go!"
Since you dare to come to the meeting alone, I will break your sword! Let you, a young man, feel the dangers of the martial arts world! "Hah!"
The huge young man next to him shouted, his muscles tensed, and his momentum suddenly soared! When he was eating fruit just now, he looked harmless. But now he entered the fighting state, and suddenly he exuded the breath of a wild beast!
"roar--"
A beast-like roar sounded from deep in his throat, and he paused with his right foot, and his body shot out like a cannonball!
There was a sudden ripple in the air, and the figure disappeared from the spot.
This impact, the mountain split and the rocks shattered! Li Chu felt that the opponent was coming fast and fiercely, and he did not dare to treat it lightly. He saw him concentrate, use all his strength, and raise a finger very seriously.
"Certainly."
Bang! Ah Qiang's figure flew up into the air, then suddenly stopped, his momentum completely gone. Then there was another bang, and he fell headfirst to the ground.
"call……"
Li Chu let out a light breath and retracted his index finger.
That was a close call.
"this……"
Uncle Kun's own cultivation was not very high, and when he saw his son, who was invincible in the city, suddenly being subdued by a finger, his eyes widened.
So terrifying! But it was meaningless to say anything else at this time. He quickly glanced at Madam Xie who was also shocked, and then shouted: "Baoxiang Fighting Spirit! Mingjian Tianzun! Please make a move!"
boom--
Following his command, it seemed as if something ancient had walked out of the ancient tomb.
Amid the rumbling sound, the entire hall seemed to disappear, and the light of the stars in the sky suddenly shone in. A huge elephant soul standing tall appeared outside, with a pair of huge eyes filled with raging flames of war.
Uncle Kun and Mrs. Xie in the lobby disappeared.
Only Li Chu was left, and in its eyes, there was only Li Chu! The appearance of this precious elephant fighting spirit did not come to the real world, but dragged the entire Ivory Mountain and Li Chu into the virtual world. Between the real and the virtual, it was resurrected from the dead! Return to the ancient times!
At the same time, another bright sword light pierced through from the sky.
For a sword cultivator at the level of Zhanxu, crossing the virtual and real is not a difficult task. Above the sword light, a man in a wide robe and big sleeves was seen standing in the air, laughing loudly: "Haha, here comes the master!"
It was Uncle Kun who had spent a lot of money to invite the Great Snow Mountain Sword Cultivator to take action! For a sword cultivator of this level, you can't invite him just because you are willing to pay a price. You must have enough connections to introduce him. However, as long as you can invite him once, it may be decisive for the life and death of a faction.
This famous sword master was one of the most worldly sword masters in the Great Snow Mountain, and he left many legends of his sainthood in the North. He was a direct disciple of the Red Eyebrow Sword Master, and his strength was unquestionable.
At the same time, the fact that Uncle Kun was able to invite this person is enough to show his strength.
"roar--"
The precious elephant's fighting spirit roared, its eyes fixed on Li Chu, and its huge elephant foot as big as a mountain was raised, and was about to fall down to cover the sky and the sun!
Li Chu finally felt a little pressure, pointed his halberd to the sky, and shouted: "Sword Control Technique!"
call out--
A silver light like a meteor streaked across the sky and appeared in this virtual world in an instant.
laugh--
A sword! It pierced through the forehead of the Treasure Elephant Fighting Spirit, and like a swimming fish, it swam through its body, went straight all the way, and instantly emerged from behind its spine! Indestructible!
boom--
The huge elephant's foot was less than ten feet above Li Chu's head and was about to fall, but the body of the precious elephant fighting spirit suddenly froze.
Then……
Slowly like a mountain collapsing! The flames of war in his eyes were extinguished.
Kill with one sword!
The Sword Master in the air was just thinking about his own identity and had not yet taken action with the Treasure Elephant Fighting Spirit. Instead, he stood on the sword light and watched with his hands up.
I never expected to see such a horrifying scene.
Boom boom boom——
When the Treasure Elephant Battle Spirit collapsed like a mountain, it suddenly shattered and turned into starlight all over the sky! Seeing this, Li Chu turned his gaze to the Famous Sword Heavenly Master in the air.
The pupils of the Famous Sword Master shrank, and his eyes were fixed for a second. Then he showed the excellent mental quality of a sword cultivator... He did not show the slightest panic, but suddenly waved his robe sleeves and laughed loudly again:
"Haha, I'm leaving now!"
A flash of sword light disappeared into the distance, showing a calm and unrestrained look, as if he was just an unrelated enthusiastic passerby who was watching a great event.
Wave your sleeves and not a cloud is taken away.
