Chapter 675
"Totally dead?"
Li Xuan stopped his howling and poked his head out to look at the "Six Ghosts of Hanhe" on the ground.
The remaining vitality in them quickly died out and turned completely cold in the blink of an eye.
"A third-rank warrior has extremely strong vitality, how could he die so quickly?"
Li Xuan was confused, but soon remembered the knife that Tang Nu had swung.
The fleeting black light just now was indeed amazing. I didn't expect that Old Ye was so good at swordsmanship, and Tang Nu, as his disciple, was an expert in using a knife.
At this time, Tang Nu had already sheathed his sword, then hid the sword at his waist and disappeared.
Only then did Li Xuan discover that the pitch-black belt on his body was actually a magical storage weapon.
"This guy's Tao is quite interesting. It has the meaning of returning to nothingness after swallowing."
The Dao that is comprehended from the Yin and Yang Qi are both extremely domineering.
No matter whether it was Master Ye, Wang Xi, or Tang Nu in front of him, the truths they comprehended were more rare than the other.
Even Wang Xi has the dual attributes of Yang and Earth, and no one knows how he cultivated it.
After confirming that the Three Ghosts of Hanhe River had turned into the Six Ghosts of Hanhe River and had died completely, Li Xuan and his team slowly approached.
Manager Shang and Tang Nu also could not hide the fatigue on their faces.
Manager Shang and Li Xuan had maintained the Mirror Flower and Water Moon until the very last moment.
And Tang Nu's sword strike obviously showed the essence of his efforts, it was not just a casual strike.
Li Xuan was fine. Although he had consumed a lot of his energy, with the nourishment of the Yin-Yang Qi, his spirits soon recovered a lot.
Although the three ghosts of Hanhe are only at the third level of cultivation, the three brothers work together in perfect harmony and can unleash strength far beyond that of ordinary third-level warriors.
This time they were also able to rely on Manager Shang's Dao Realm Mirror Flowers and Water Moons, otherwise they would not have been able to take down these three guys so easily.
Speaking of which, after Li Xuan had cooperated with Manager Shang a few times, he discovered that his realm was truly becoming more and more abnormal.
As long as there is someone cooperating, it will definitely be the strongest control.
This Dao Realm's offensive capability is slightly inferior, but it can create a flaw that can kill a top three rank expert.
This advantage is unmatched by other realms of Tao.
Moreover, even in a one-on-one situation, as long as the difference in strength is not too great, Manager Shang can find countless ways to kill the people in the illusion.
Unless he is a person of strong will, he will not be affected by the illusion at all, and will immediately take measures to consume Manager Shang's strength until he can escape.
Of course, if you really go up against a true second-grade master, the opponent can fight back as long as he also uses the Dao realm, and then it will become a pure war of attrition.
But no matter what, from the team's perspective, Manager Shang's Dao realm is really useful.
"Axuan."
Manager Shang called out Li Xuan.
They all knew what was coming.
Li Xuan already had an impatient look on his face, his big eyes full of anticipation.
He had previously absorbed the Five Elements Cycle of the Western Region Fire Demon with great effort. Although he shared some of it with Old Ye and Sharon, he still couldn't avoid wasting some of it.
But this time, the three ghosts of Hanhe River were only of the third grade. Although the number was a bit large, Li Xuan felt that it should be just enough to be absorbed.
Tang Nu is an introverted person. When he is on a mission outside, he always adheres to the principle of saying less and asking less, and only does what he is told.
Although he didn't understand why Monk Chief Li Xuan was so excited, he knew better than to ask any more questions.
If there is anything he needs to know, Manager Shang will naturally tell him.
"Tang Nu, be alert all around. We will stay here for a while and then go meet up with Wei Zhen."
Wei Zhen was still staying in the government office at this time, protecting Jiang Pu and Old Man Qingsong.
That’s right, Jiang Pu and Old Man Qingsong were not killed by the three ghosts of Hanhe. Everything that happened before was just an illusion shown to them by the chief monk Li Xuan.
It was just that the anchor ghost was careful and noticed something unnatural, otherwise it could have consumed them for a while longer and wouldn't have let them fight among themselves so quickly, causing the Mirror Flower and Water Moon to be dissolved ahead of time.
You know, in the illusory world of mirror flowers and water moons, the enemy's true energy will be continuously consumed. As long as they are trapped long enough, it is not impossible for the true energy to be exhausted.
By then, even if the enemy breaks free from the illusion, he will be a useless person without any ability to fight back.
After all, Wei Zhen is not of the upper third rank, and it would be very difficult for him to get involved in the battle here, so it is most appropriate to give him the task of protecting Jiang Pu and Old Man Qingsong.
Tang Nu received the order and immediately stood guard around him.
Li Xuan had already felt the power emanating from the three ghosts of Hanhe.
Their five elements cycle is about to begin.
"Ah Xuan, I will protect you."
Li Xuan nodded, and then began to absorb the reincarnation power of the three ghosts of Hanhe without hesitation.
He felt the pure water elemental energy being absorbed into his body, and then transformed into yin and yang qi in the blink of an eye.
"The most beneficial natural treasure in the world is actually a top third-grade warrior."
Li Xuan absorbed the water element energy that was constantly dissipating, and couldn't stop feeling emotional.
This world is also amazing. After the death of a top three warrior, all his cultivation will be returned to the world through the cycle of the five elements.
The strength of all warriors comes from the nurturing of this world.
The Qi and blood power of the lower three grades originate from one's own innate foundation, that is, the physical body created by one's parents.
The third level of true Qi is achieved by comprehending the five elements of heaven and earth and imitating and learning from the small world within the physical body.
The third level of Taoism begins with the process of touching the ways of the world, connecting heaven and earth with the true Qi in the body, and using the mysteries of the Tao to perform unpredictable methods.
But even the most powerful one with destiny cannot achieve immortality. After all, he is still in the cycle of reincarnation and must return his strength to the world that gave birth to him.
"Interesting, am I part of this cycle now?"
Li Xuan absorbed the five elements of reincarnation of the three ghosts of Hanhe River comfortably, and his thoughts were a little scattered.
The true qi of the three ghosts of Hanhe River are all of water attribute, and the principles they have comprehended are also very similar, which greatly reduces the difficulty for Li Xuan to absorb. Now he only needs to simply enjoy the process.
After Li Xuan consolidated his fourth-grade tranquility state, he discovered that his absorption ability had become significantly stronger.
At least he could absorb the Five Elements Cycle of the Three Ghosts of Hanhe River effortlessly. He felt that he would have some strength left even if he absorbed all the power at once.
And the absorption speed seems to be much faster than before.
Li Xuan closed his eyes tightly and carefully circulated the Yin and Yang Qi in his body.
The Yin-Yang Qi was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye it was enough to offset his months of hard work.
After reaching the Jing Qi state, the quality of the Yin and Yang Qi in his body improved significantly, and his physical body was further strengthened.
After Li Xuan broke through to the fourth level, he felt that he had become a better container. Not only could he hold more Yin and Yang Qi, but his strength from the inside out had also been comprehensively improved.
But after all, he had just been promoted to the fourth rank not long ago. After absorbing the reincarnation power of the three ghosts of Hanhe today, he had no idea whether he could successfully reach the limit of the fourth rank.
After these water elemental forces are transformed into Yin and Yang Qi, their proportions are almost reduced to one tenth.
This conversion ratio is indeed somewhat touching, but for Li Xuan it is already a great opportunity.
"Never mind, just clean it up first."
Li Xuan wanted more than anyone else to be promoted to the upper third level and comprehend his own path.
Now the struggle between Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng has reached a fever pitch, and only the top three ranks are qualified to participate in the frontal battle.
Even though Li Xuan is the chosen one, due to his lack of strength, he can only play a supporting role now.
If he were promoted to the third rank, he would directly raid the lair of King Zheng and wipe out all the scum under his command. Let's see if he still has the nerve to do that.
Time passed quickly as Li Xuan was lost in his thoughts.
When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but squint.
The sky was already bright and it was already the second day.
Li Xuan turned around and saw Manager Shang smiling at him.
In the distance, Tang Nu was standing with his back to them, keeping watch on his surroundings.
"call--"
Li Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
The bodies of the three ghosts of Hanhe had disappeared from the ground, without even a trace of blood left.
The blood and hair of the top three warriors are all the essence of qi and blood, and naturally they will return to heaven and earth with the cycle of the five elements.
Unfortunately, all these forces were intercepted by Li Xuan halfway and taken into his possession.
"Ah Xuan, is everything going well?"
Although Shang Zongguan saw that the Five Elements Reincarnation did not happen, he still did not forget to confirm with Li Xuan. Li Xuan nodded heavily and said:
"It went well, meow."
"That's good." Butler Shang also breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no need to explain much about Li Xuan's importance. The operation can fail, but he cannot have any problems.
If they had enough time, they could have waited for Li Xuan to grow up before dealing with King Zheng.
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.
The thousand-year-old dynasty of Daxing is running out of time.
"Let's go back."
"Wei Zhen must be getting impatient."
Wei Zhen protected Jiang Pu and Old Man Qingsong alone for the whole night, and did not wait for Li Xuan and the others to come back, so he must have been anxious.
"Tang Nu, you can go now."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Manager Shang greeted him.
Tang Nu immediately turned around and nodded.
He saw that the bodies of the three ghosts of Hanhe had disappeared, nor did he see their reincarnation of the five elements after death, but Tang Nu did not ask any more questions and followed closely behind the monk chief steward Li Xuan.
They walked back with a lot more ease.
The government office is in a mess now, and many people have come out to clean up the mess from last night.
Although the officials and servants were just working silently, anyone could sense the panic-stricken atmosphere.
The government office has been in turmoil these past two days. First, there were rebels causing chaos when the emperor was on a southern tour, and now there are even villains who dare to directly assassinate the prefect.
Fortunately, the prefect was protected by an expert, otherwise he would have really fallen into the hands of the villain.
I just think that the prefect was also frightened last night. After ordering everyone to clean up the government office, he hid in the side room and did not come out.
All he did throughout the day was order the servants to deliver food, and other than that he never showed up again.
"Sir, it's already been a whole night, and there's still no news?"
Jiang Pu asked anxiously.
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
"Those who deserve to die can't escape, and those who deserve to live don't have to be afraid."
"Just wait patiently."
Wei Zhen sat at the table, enjoying the fruits that were served to him.
"This... ugh!"
Seeing that he was talking nonsense, Jiang Pu was too lazy to say anything to him. He just walked around the room by himself, unable to stop for a moment.
Old man Qingsong was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, meditating and recuperating.
He was seriously injured last night, fortunately Wei Zhen rescued him in time. The three ghosts of Hanhe seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, talking to themselves, and then turned around and left.
At that time, Jiang Pu was scared as if he had seen a ghost, but Old Man Qingsong knew that they were probably trapped in the realm of Tao.
Jiang Pu had said before that he had a backup plan, but it seemed that this backup plan was not under his control, so the thrilling scene last night happened.
But no matter what, Old Man Qingsong was relieved to have managed to survive.
Although he is old, he is still very afraid of death, especially dying at the hands of these evildoers. If it gets out, his reputation for life will be ruined, and the Yuqing Sect will also be disgraced.
Old man Qingsong doesn't want his disciples to bear such a heavy hatred for his old bones.
At that time, the Yuqing Sect must avenge itself in order to continue to gain a foothold in the martial arts world. However, with the strength of the Three Ghosts of Hanhe, even if the Yuqing Sect pays a price, it may not be able to succeed.
Fortunately, this dilemma does not have to happen.
Elder Qingsong was experienced and saw that Wei Zhen was a master from the Imperial Palace, so he didn't ask any questions and just sat there all night to heal his injuries.
He can only rest and recuperate from this injury, there is no rush.
But Old Man Qingsong finally repaid Jiang Pu's debt of favor, and even made Jiang Pu owe him money.
Although last night was dangerous, Old Man Qingsong felt it was worth it.
The Yuqing Sect can gain favor from Jiang Pu, and will be able to develop more smoothly in the future.
Just at this moment, Wei Zhen looked towards the door and put down the fruits in his hands.
Li Xuan lay on Manager Shang's shoulder and entered the room with the two of them.
Jiang Pu was so nervous that his heart was in his throat. Old Man Qingsong also opened his eyes silently and touched the sword on his knees.
When he saw that Wei Zhen knew the two of them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are finally back."
Although Wei Zhen just casually evaded Jiang Pu, he was still worried in his heart.
Now that he saw them return safely, he removed his disguise.
"Don't worry, everything will go well."
Manager Shang patted Wei Zhen on the shoulder and nodded at him.
Then, he turned to look at Jiang Pu and said:
"Master Jiang, the three ghosts of Hanhe will not come to you again."
"The chances of someone harassing you again are not high, but they are not impossible."
"You better be more careful yourself."
"We have to go back and report. We'll take our leave now."
Manager Shang bowed and prepared to take his men away.
"Etc., etc……"
"That's it. What if they send more people?"
Jiang Pu said anxiously.
After all, it concerns his own life, how can he not be anxious?
Seeing his cowardly appearance, Wei Zhen said disdainfully:
"Do you think that third-rank masters are cheap? Only three of them have died. Can you expect to find more?"
"Three third-rank officials didn't kill you. Who do you think they'll send next time?"
"Besides, does he dare to send it?"
Wei Zhen knew that Jiang Pu was just a two-faced villain and he had never had a good impression of him.
If it weren't for the order from Emperor Yongyuan himself, he wouldn't have bothered to care about Jiang Pu's life or death.
But God is so blind that this villain not only became a high-ranking official, but also had some real abilities.
Otherwise, not to mention Emperor Yongyuan, even Wei Zhen would not tolerate him.
After saying that, the three men and the cat left the government office and went after Emperor Yongyuan's southern tour team.
Jiang Pu looked at the direction where the three people disappeared, his face full of bitterness.
"Prefect Jiang, this matter is over."
"It's time for me to return to Yuqing Sect."
When Old Man Qingsong saw Manager Shang and the others leave, he also stood up from his bed, holding his sword and said goodbye.
"Ah this!"
"You were seriously injured last night. You should stay here with me and recuperate for a few days."
"Why rush it?"
Jiang Pu hurriedly dissuaded him.
As a result, Old Man Qingsong had made up his mind.
"It is because of this serious injury that I have to rush back to Yuqing Sect."
"There is a secret medicine for healing in the sect. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the injury is delayed."
"Last night, I was not sure whether Magistrate Jiang was out of danger, so I stayed here."
"It's time to go back now."
Hearing what Old Man Qingsong said, Jiang Pu couldn't force him to stay, so he just forced a smile:
"Well, let me take you there then."
Old Man Qingsong fulfilled his promise, and after hearing what Wei Zhen had said before, he naturally did not dare to stay in the government office for long, for fear that Jiangpu's enemies would really send out masters more powerful than the Three Ghosts of Hanhe.
No matter how kind or inhumane you are, you have to survive first.
