Chapter 368: Beheading the King
Back then, the human race traveled thousands of miles across the northern border wall to the Snow Region, intending to make peace with the demon race.
In order to prevent this and form an alliance with the barbarians, the war faction led by the chiefs of the Scaled and Fang tribes attacked the delegation at night.
The attack had a very high chance of success, considering the right time, place, people, and strength of the demon generals. However, who would have thought that it would end in failure.
The reason is because of the human in front of him named Ji You.
It is said that it was because he had guessed the attack in advance and made arrangements in advance that the human delegation was delayed until His Majesty made a decision.
What is most surprising is that Shuhe, the demon general who is best at assassination, also died at his hands.
Shuhe's strength ranking among the demon generals is not high, but because of his natural ability to appear and disappear at will, he gives these celestial demons a headache.
But at that time, Ji You's strength was only at the level of a spiritual demon, not even at the level of a mysterious demon, yet he killed Shu He alone. After the news came out, several people in the tribe found it incredible, and believed that it was a deliberate exaggeration by the human race to show off its military power.
But Asakura and Yetaku, who personally participated in the battle, knew that the demon general Shuhe was really killed by him alone.
However, they also didn't know how the human named Ji You did it.
But that incident happened so long ago that Asakura and Yotaku had already forgotten about this person. They never expected to meet him here again today.
After not seeing each other for more than three years, he almost killed a barbarian soldier king with his physical body.
In fact, this was also something that was unbelievable to the soldier king named Dawa, because the last time they met, he was shot by the soldier king's bow and arrow and could only be protected by others. He fell into a coma after taking the soldier king's sword. However, he did not expect that he had now injured a soldier king with a punch.
In fact, not only the barbarians and demons felt confused, but also the disciples of the aristocratic families.
They still don't understand why Ji You's fighting power is so high. The most important thing is that they haven't seen him for only half a year, but his aura has become stronger.
“They are all old acquaintances…”
Ji You looked at Dawa, Asakura, and Yetuo, feeling a little sentimental.
The only regret was that he didn't get to see the soldier king who had once seriously injured him with a single blow.
He held the spirit in his hand, feeling the fighting spirit coming from all directions, and the sword energy in his body began to roar.
Although they were old acquaintances, their relationship was not friendly after all. He knew that there was no reminiscing between them, and perhaps the next moment would be a greeting filled with murderous intent.
Sure enough, with a sharp roar, the barbarian king moved.
He suddenly threw off the cloak from his shoulders, his muscles bulged and knotted, his blood surged like dragons and snakes, his tremendous power gathered in one punch, he suddenly stepped on the hillock and stood up, his majestic body pounced like a giant beast, pressing down with a bang!
Going deep into Zhongzhou to steal treasures is risky, after all, this is the territory of the human race.
But having taken such a big risk, they couldn't return empty-handed.
In an instant, a terrifying pressure suddenly filled the valley, the cliffs along the coast exploded, debris flew everywhere, and smoke and dust rose into the sky.
All the muscles in his body were bulging and tense, and his thick blood vessels were stretched outward, gathering a majestic force that roared into the air.
Seeing the murderous intent coming, Ji You instantly turned his wrist and the green sword trembled, emitting a deep sword chant.
The people in the valley came back to their senses instantly and felt their shoulders sink.
Some people with lower cultivation were knocked to the ground with a "thump", their faces changing drastically.
"boom!!!!"
The Dao sword, like a small mountain, came crashing down, colliding fiercely with the soldier king's iron fist.
The powerful energy was like a rushing river, causing a fierce hurricane, breaking the surrounding ancient trees and collapsing the high cliffs.
The first fight was completed in an instant. The squeezed air exploded instantly, spreading suddenly in a ring shape, making a sharp buzzing sound and rushing out of the forest.
Feeling the oppressive feeling of the initiation descending, the disciples of the aristocratic families in the valley immediately clenched their fists and opened their eyes in horror.
Only then did they realize that the two punches that almost killed You Fusheng were not his top fighting power at all.
At this moment, the true horror of the King of Generals' power was revealed.
But at this moment, Ji You was not weak at all.
The size difference between the two is very obvious, but after a fight, Ji You looks more like a beast.
Killing them all with one punch, Danba stomped the ground with his broad, dark feet, and the armor on his body made a violent sound. At the same time, his strong arms pressed out ripples in the air, and his iron fist came down again, colliding fiercely with the Taoist sword that was as bright as the moon but as heavy as the mountains.
In an instant, the surface of the valley cracked open, leaving a deep scar that stretched for several miles.
Ji You's white robe fluttered, and the sword in his hand bloomed continuously.
The power from his physical body, plus Xiao Chongshan's own energy, made the void rumble with every sword strike.
Everyone around, humans, monsters, and even barbarians were all surprised.
Because they found that in these confrontations, it was Ji You's swordsmanship that suppressed Wang Danba's iron fist.
"Kuchi Kang..."
"Kuchi Kang..."
"Kuchi Kang!!!"
Danba roared in horror as he raised his fist, and suddenly felt an oppressive force. Only then did he suddenly understand why Xingchuan Shisi couldn't even take his punch.
That kind of power is simply not something that humans can unleash.
Ji You also stared intently at this moment, and the iron sword in his hand trembled violently.
Because apart from the group from Xueyu, this was the first time he felt an opponent who could truly fight against him with his physical body.
The sword light roared and gathered, as if the dawn light pierced the darkness. Ji You flew over with the sword in hand, and chopped down Wang Danba's legs with a terrifying circle. The angry roar continued to resound through the night sky.
"careful!!"
At this moment, the disciples of the Tianshu Academy outside the forest let out a rapid shout.
In the rolling air waves, Asakura, who was originally on the west side of the hill, had already flown up. A flash of cold light came first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon.
They are allies of the barbarians, at least on the surface, so they will naturally lend a hand at this moment. As for the matter of the immortals, they naturally do not intend to return empty-handed.
Amidst the violent vibrations, the iron spear pierced through the night, directly breaking through a barrier of air and heading straight for Ji You who was attacking General Wang Danba.
At the same time, the moment he attacked, his transformation into a demon was complete, and his stronger body infused the iron spear in his hand with even stronger murderous intent.
The distance between them was too short, and Asakura's iron spear was too fast. Under the circumstance of being restrained by the barbarian soldier king, Ji You had almost no way to escape.
But at this moment, a hand stretched out from the violent air wave and grasped the void.
An iron sword flew through the wind and slashed towards Asakura, causing the demon general's pupils to shrink suddenly into a line.
With a bang, the extremely fast sword suddenly flew and slashed, directly causing the iron spear in Tianyao Chaocang's hand to tremble violently. The flying body was instantly knocked back three steps, and he immediately became alert.
He chose the right moment to shoot, but he never expected that his reaction would be so timely.
At this moment, a burst of hot breath suddenly burst out among the flying sand and rocks. Ji You suddenly escaped from the center of the position where he was attacked from both sides, and fell on the cliff with a bang like a meteorite.
After breaking free from the cover of the wind and sand, everyone could see clearly that several spiritual swords were floating around him, surrounding him and vibrating wildly under the blessing of sword energy.
really.
Those people from the aristocratic families in the valley couldn't help but whisper, thinking that they had expected this to happen.
As for the soldier king Dawa holding the black bow, in his mind emerged the forty-nine sharp swords coming like starry sky from the speeding human carriage in the dark night of the wilderness.
But in a flash, everyone's attention was drawn back to the swirling sandstorm.
Because they found that even after Ji You had distanced himself from them, the air in the wind and sand was still hot.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—
Like the sound of beating drums, a rhythmic muffled sound was heard in the wind and sand.
As the wind and sand quickly dissipated, Wang Danba appeared breathlessly, but his figure was very different from before.
I saw his body suddenly grow three feet taller, and his whole body became abnormally tall. The teeth that were originally exposed at the corners of his lips now protruded from his chin. Bone spurs grew on his shoulders and arms, and his blood was almost boiling.
And that sound like a drum came from the strong heartbeat in his body.
"General Danba has become a barbarian..."
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes trembled, and they couldn't help but look at Ji You again with his whistling sword energy.
Especially the barbarian soldiers and generals at the scene, their eyes showed a hint of astonishment.
From the time General Wang Danba took action to the time Demon General Chaocang joined the battle, Ji You only used twelve, thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen swords.
The reason why it cannot be accurately determined is that two of the swords are extremely fast, making it difficult to tell whether it is one sword or not.
But even with fifteen swords, the result was shocking.
Because Ji You only used fifteen swords to force the barbarian king to become barbaric himself. For the barbarians, they had never seen such an existence before.
In the valley, the children of the major families in Zhongzhou were also staring at the sword-wielding figure with their eyes slightly stunned.
Because of the barrier of the northern city wall, humans rarely pay attention to the barbarians and demons, and many people even subconsciously do not care about the existence of these two races.
Later, because the barbarians attacked the northern border and the demon tribe wanted to trade, they gradually gained some attention.
But in their eyes, both the barbarians and the demons were like savages, stupid and old-fashioned. In their eyes, they were all unintelligent races, and they had an innate contempt for them in their hearts.
It was not until the northern border was breached and the two states of Youyun were occupied that Heaven gave the three tribes an opportunity to be on the same stage, allowing them to truly come into contact with the demon tribe and the barbarian tribe today.
But it was also during this encounter that their faith in Taoism was almost crushed by the powerful fighting force of the two tribes of barbarians and monsters.
Because the elders of the clan were killed, the head of the family was on the verge of death, and the immortal spirit was taken away, they were not only helpless but also filled with fear after being beaten.
Unexpectedly, Ji You's arrival instantly turned the situation around and calmed the entire situation.
On the outskirts of the dense forest, Qiu Hanyue stared for a while, and then fell into deep silence.
These women did not need to participate in the fights between the aristocratic families, but since such a big thing had happened here and their family members had not returned for a long time, they naturally had to come and check it out.
However, they never expected that they would once again see a figure that made them feel complicated and indescribable, but was imprinted in their minds.
Thinking back to when she secretly asked someone to break off the engagement in the Xianxian Garden, Qiu Hanyue always thought that she would have nothing to do with him from then on.
After all, she had never heard of Ji You before. If it weren't for the marriage arranged by the He family, she would probably never know him in her life. After rejecting the resisting in-laws, it was natural for them to go their own way.
But she never imagined that in the years that followed, her world would be filled with news about him, because the entire Qingyun was filled with news about him.
Tear apart the Heavenly Dao Sacrifice and kill the previous Holy Son of Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion...
The Qiu family lived in Shiguang County, which was close to the county government, and they usually visited the prefectural government relatively closely.
Some time ago, when she was chatting with the people in the prefecture, she heard that because of Ji You, the laws of Daxia regarding the four words "private cultivation in the countryside" were revised, and there was a clear ban on their indiscriminate use.
"The situation is critical."
Although they were amazed, the expressions of many humans began to become more solemn at this moment.
Ji You might have a chance of winning against the barbarian king named Danba, but with the addition of the demon general Chao Cang, the situation is actually very dangerous, not to mention that both of them are now using the racial talents of their incarnations.
Thoughts are much faster than words, so even the most complex emotions only last for a moment.
At this time, the wind and sand had just dispersed, Asakura's iron spear was still vibrating, and the rumbling sound rose into the sky again.
After becoming a barbarian, Danba displayed an even more terrifying aura, and his more powerful iron fists poured down like a torrential rain, pouring down along with his flying figure. At the same time, Asakura's iron spear also chopped down with a burst of air explosion.
Ji You was instantly caught in a pincer attack from both sides. He suddenly swung out a sword, then turned sideways, picked up another sword and flew towards Asakura.
With a clang, sparks flew, and the iron spear and Taoist sword slashed with a sharp roar that resounded in all directions.
But at this moment, Danba's iron fist calmed the waves caused by the collision, and punched Ji You on the shoulder. The powerful force poured down from his shoulder and blasted him away.
"Bang!!!"
Amidst the loud bang of the cliff being shattered, Ji You fell to the ground. Then he saw the fiery iron fist and the cold iron spear attacking him again, so he jumped up from the ground.
The sword energy in the sky was woven into a huge net at this time. Several small mountains poured out like moonlight, creating a huge wave of energy.
But Danba and Asakura, who had become barbarians and demons, were not afraid at all. They attacked with a mighty thunder and wind, and used all their strength to hold up the mountain-like beast, and then tore it to pieces with angry roars.
Then the iron fist pressed down, and the iron spear also came with a cloak.
Ji You kept striking with his sword, and as the sword energy whistled around him, he gradually fell into a passive defense.
In fact, Ji You had used his sword countless times along the way, but he had rarely paid attention to defense. The reason was that his body was strong enough and ordinary means could not hurt his vital points at all.
But at this moment he knew clearly that the two people in front of him had the ability to inflict serious damage on him.
With a dull thud, Ji You slashed the mighty Barbarian King back with a single sword, but the iron spear that came through the wind in front of him emitted a strong murderous light and pierced his chest.
"puff!!!!"
Blood gushed out, and Ji You turned over and smashed the cliff.
For a moment, blood bloomed on his chest and continued to spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But Danba and Asakura did not give him any chance to adjust his breath, and once again crushed the cliff and attacked fiercely.
Seeing the three figures colliding continuously and the murderous intent like a tsunami, the eyes of the aristocratic families in the valley narrowed slightly.
They could see that Ji You was in a very bad condition, while the attacks of the General King and the Heavenly Demon were becoming more and more fierce, and almost every move was fatal.
This is not surprising, because Zhongzhou is the territory of the human race. They know that the longer they delay here, the more likely they are to attract reinforcements from the Immortal Sect. They must succeed and retreat as soon as possible.
Under this fierce and rapid attack, Ji You obviously could not hold on for too long, because everyone saw that he could only defend and had no chance to fight back.
But only He Ye and Zuo Qiu Jingyun were staring at the scene silently, waiting silently.
During the battle at the human altar in Rihua County, they were also on the city wall and witnessed Ji You tearing open the Tiandao Sacrifice and breaking in.
However, due to the obstruction of the evil spirit to the divine consciousness, they have never known how Ji You killed Chu He under such strong restrictions, but they know that Ji You's methods are definitely more than that.
Even though Ji You was in deep trouble and in constant crisis, they still felt that Ji You still had some strength left.
While he was thinking, a loud noise was heard.
Ji You was shot down by a spear, the sword in his hand trembled violently, and then he was fiercely attacked by the barbaric king.
"Atonement, Kuchikan."
Danba released a murderous intent, his blood surging all over his body, and smashed hard into Ji You's forehead.
But how could Ji You give him a chance? He suddenly punched him back and used the force to fly back, flying south along the collapsed valley.
He was extremely fast, and his powerful body created ripples in the air, but he was unable to get out of the valley because Asakura, who was waiting there in advance, blocked his way with an iron spear.
Seeing this scene, countless human beings felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, knowing that fatal disaster was approaching.
Otherwise, with Ji You's personality, he would definitely not subconsciously try to escape.
But there are also some people who have a hint of expectation amidst their complex emotions.
Because Ji You has never been a fellow traveler of these human cultivators, and they have even been in deep conflict over the years, many people would think that it would be a good thing if Ji You died.
But if Ji You died here, the immortal spirit would most likely fall into the hands of the barbarians or demons.
At this moment, Danba and Asakura rushed over in the rushing air waves.
Their energy and blood have been stimulated to the peak, and the full aura is so strong that people dare not look directly at it. At the same time, their positions are very tacit. They used the same method that succeeded last time, one in front and one behind, to cut off all of Ji You's ways of survival.
However, there was still a direction behind Ji You where he could escape. Even if he couldn't retreat successfully, he might still have a chance of survival.
But what was surprising was that he did not choose to turn around and escape, but instead stood on the hill.
Crash——
With a wave of his sleeves, a sky full of spiritual swords were released from his storage gourd and hung in the air.
Everyone frowned when they saw this, and a hint of confusion appeared in their eyes.
Ji You's sword-wielding skills showed great combat power when clearing out the zombie tide, and it was shown in front of countless people, but this move was obviously a large-scale attack on the enemy group.
However, when there are only two enemies with equal strength, increasing the number of spirit swords will not increase the chances of winning much, and may even quickly deplete the spiritual energy.
But the next moment, as Ji You soared into the air, everyone couldn't help but stare at him.
The fifty-plus spiritual swords seemed to be coated with a layer of golden color, and then they kept moving amidst the vibrations.
Looking down from a high altitude, it seems that they have combined into a huge golden wheel, and the swords seem to be constantly resonating with each other.
Qian, Kun, Li, Kan...
The air made a creaking sound, and then a terrifying murderous intent suddenly rose up, causing everyone's face to change drastically.
Because countless people felt a breath of destruction from it, and the intensity of this breath far exceeded Ji You himself.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this?"
"Very strange..."
Ji You stepped up and flew towards the enemy in the wind and waves, while the spiritual sword behind him burst out with a strong light, as if it was going to pierce through the sky and pressed down with a destructive aura.
There is spiritual energy between heaven and earth, unlike in the human altar, which can only use itself as energy because of the obstruction of evil spirits.
Besides, his size has actually shrunk a lot during this period.
The Immortal Sword Formation.
Amidst the whispers, a vast ray of immortal light slashed out with a "hum" sound, shaking the mountains and rushing forward to kill.
General Wang Danba had already killed him close to him, but because of instinct he suddenly felt his whole body tremble. But before he could react, the golden light suddenly bloomed in his eyes.
With a loud bang, the barbarian king flew away, and strange green blood splattered on the spot. When he fell to the ground with a bang, all the barbarian soldiers were shocked.
Because they found that the left half of General Danba's body was torn into pieces and blood was constantly flowing out of his mouth.
It's a familiar smell...
Danba's eyes were bloodshot.
Having led troops in the North for many years, he knew very well that the aura was almost the same as the large formation on the North's city walls.
huff huff
Ji You landed gracefully on the ground, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, and his chest rose and fell regularly with his heavy breathing.
Although he had deliberately weakened the Shocking Immortal Sword Formation, its mechanism of actively absorbing spiritual energy was still a heavy burden for him, which was why he was reluctant to use it.
However, in terms of effect, this sword formation is still as good as the last time it was used.
Ji You clenched his fist lightly, and the golden sword formation behind him slowly rotated like a huge golden plate, and the deadly murderous intent contained in it continued to flow.
At this time, the valley was dead silent.
Everyone froze in the room, staring at the man surrounded by sword energy in disbelief, their eyes filled with astonishment.
They knew that Ji You was very strong, and some people even made a special assessment of his physical combat power, which was said to be above the middle level of the boundless realm.
But they never thought that Ji You would be so strong, and they felt that the method he just used was far beyond their imagination.
He Ye and Zuo Qiu Jingyun also fixed their eyes, and the scene of the sword formation killing kept repeating in their minds, and their faces turned pale.
They had no way of telling what kind of sword technique it was, but it did not affect their fear at all.
Chu Xian had been a brilliant talent for thirty years, and it was indeed a fitting death for him to die at his hands...
At the same time, on a huge flying sword passing through the sky, Zuo Qiuyang and the elders of Tianshu Academy were coming here.
When masters fight, countless murderous intentions will emerge in a few breaths, so it didn't actually take too much time from the beginning of the fight to Danba's defeat.
The fact that Tianshuyuan arrived so quickly showed that its response was quite fast.
However, this is also due to the fact that among the three major immortal sects in the northern part of Qingyun, the closest one is Tianshuyuan.
