Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1627 The First Battle between Heaven and Man
  "You can dodge such a sudden explosion. Such speed is really amazing!" The big hammer on the mountain wall rubbed his head and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Gao Jianli nodded in agreement, "There are indeed many strange people under the farm family."

In such a short time just now, Gao Jianli felt that he was lucky if he could escape. As for taking others with him... he would definitely not run away.

On the top of the cliff on the other side, Zhang Han looked up at the sky.

The sky was still gray, but the heavy rain coincidentally stopped after the explosion.

Qu Shang's strength also exceeded Zhang Han's expectation, but he didn't care.

If he can hide away, that's his skill. His target has never been the farmer.

The members of the Shadow Guard behind him stepped forward and asked, "General, now that there is conclusive evidence that the farmers are fighting against the imperial army and intending to conspire against them, will you immediately organize manpower to encircle and suppress them?"

Although Wang Li's army has not yet arrived, there are still thousands of county soldiers here, plus the main force of the Shadow Guards are also here to launch an operation to encircle and suppress the farmers... Well, there are definitely not enough people.

But now that the farmers are fighting among themselves, it’s okay for the empire to take action first.

Zhang Han's answer was naturally a no, "The duty of the Shadow Guards is to protect the safety of the royal family and ensure the long-term peace and order of the empire. It is not our task to encircle and suppress rebellion...at least the peasants are not our actual target."

"You must keep an eye on every plant and tree in the farmhouse and figure out the... truth behind all this."

"The truth?" The members of the Shadow Guard behind Zhang Han were a little confused, but they didn't dare to say anything. They just clasped their fists and accepted the order, "I understand."

Zhang Han ignored him and couldn't help but replay the various events that happened during this period in his mind.

Songhai's assassination, the civil strife in the farm family, the eldest son's betrayal... He knew the truth behind everything, but there was not enough conclusive evidence.

And he needs evidence now... Even if it is not enough to bring down Zhao Gao, it can at least improve the current situation of the eldest son and prevent it from getting worse.

This is also the real purpose of his coming to Dongjun.

But for now, it seems like it's still a mess - it's not that he has no clue, but that the farmers really don't live up to expectations.

They are just like a bunch of puppets, and you all cooperated obediently without anyone else exerting any effort.

But having said that, although all the forces involved in the situation in East County, except for the farmer's family itself and the net that drives everything behind the scenes, hope that the farmer's family will remain stable for the time being, for the farmer's family, taking this opportunity to cut the knot quickly and completely It would not be a bad thing to resolve the six-tang split that has lasted for many years.

Just like Qin unified the world, it is not a problem to be divided all the time.

Only by giving birth to a new Xiakui can the peasant family reintegrate all the forces of Liutang, and can it really be possible to fight against the coming imperial offensive. Otherwise, they will be wiped out sooner or later.

But... these are not issues that Zhang Han should consider.

"Time to go to the other side."

After gathering his thoughts, Zhang Han gave instructions to his subordinates.

Under the cliff, in the woods on the other side of the mountain stream, Tian Hu looked at Qu Shang and the other three people who were unharmed, and couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

such a pity!
  Why didn't you just blow up these three bastards?

Tian Zhong was not as disappointed as Tian Hu. He felt that he could avoid a thunderbolt and let the Zhu family step on it. It was already very profitable.

"Second Master, according to the analysis of the eldest lady, there are two roads to Luomapo. Since this side is a virtual dart, the other side should be a real dart. Are we now..."

"Well..." Tian Hu nodded, "Let's go there now."

"Ayan said she would arrange the manpower over there, but I don't know if it's reliable or not. We have to go there quickly to avoid letting the real thing slip from our hands."

On the road, Qu Shang and the others had also left.

If you step on the trap, you will step on the trap. The most important thing is to go back and tell the Zhu family quickly and find a way to get the real thing.

Like Tian Hu, Zhu Jia himself was staying near Luomapo, waiting for news from Qu Shang and the others. Although his own strength was not bad, his most famous half-hearted acupuncture pointer was not suitable for fighting people head-on, so he mainly stayed in the middle. Scheduling, preparation and response.

Not long after, Qu Shang and the others joined the Zhu family first.

The little fat man, with a happy face, was hiding in a nearby mountain forest surrounded by a group of disciples. When he saw Qu Shang and the others coming back empty-handed, he said with a smile:

"Looking at the looks of these brothers, it seems like they haven't gained much, right?"

Qu Shang summed it up succinctly, "It's a trap."

Liu Ji spread his hands and narrated carefully, "When we met the tiger demon, Brother Qu easily fought him off. Unfortunately, he stepped on the empire's trap and almost didn't kill the three of us."

"Hehe, just hope you're all right." The Zhu family replied with a smile, stroking his beard, "This way, the arrangements for the other route will not be in vain, which is good."

"What about now?" Situ Wanli asked.

"Of course I'll go take a look." Zhu Jia replied with a smile.

………………

The other side of Daze Mountain.

Xiaoyaozi, who had parted ways with Gao Jianli before, was walking alone in the mountains and forests, looking for Xiaomeng's breath in the rain.

Suddenly he stopped and his eyes under the fence were staring ahead. He saw that in the mountain forest where leaves were constantly flying and falling under the ravages of wind and rain, everything seemed to be frozen.

Raindrops, fallen leaves, forest trees, and even the wind seemed to have stopped.

In the depths of the mountain forest, which was deserted except for Xiaoyaozi, a faint aqua-blue light continued to spread towards Xiaoyaozi's position. Wherever the light passed, everything faded away and turned into a stagnant gray-white static picture. , as if time has stopped.

Soon, Xiaoyaozi was also swept by the blue light, and he was 'washed out' without exception.

The only difference is that he can still move freely. Looking at the forest that had turned into a static ink painting, Xiaoyaozi couldn't help but admired, "Junior sister Xiaomeng is indeed a Taoist genius. This skill of blending light with dust is probably only available in Beiming." He is under the title of Master Uncle."

As Xiaoyaozi's voice spread, a looming and graceful figure emerged in front of him.

Then, among the gray and white, the only color finally appeared. Xiao Meng, dressed in a green shirt, stepped on high heels, held the Qiuli Sword, and walked slowly towards Xiaoyaozi.

As she walked, the stagnant leaves and raindrops in the air automatically moved to both sides to make way for her, and then automatically returned to their original positions after she passed by.

Finally, Xiaomeng stopped about fifteen steps in front of Xiaoyaozi. Looking at Xiaoyaozi who had been deprived of his 'color' by the eclipse of heaven and earth, he asked calmly:
  "You can fight against my senior brother Chisongzi, but this is not the only level you can compete with."

"Are all human sects so hypocritical?"

"Junior sister Xiaomeng, then use the human sect's rejuvenation of all things to make your world eclipse." Xiaoyaozi didn't mind Xiaomeng's harsh words and responded to him clearly and calmly - the people of Tianzong are just not polite and sophisticated. , this is especially true for a young genius like Xiaomeng who has been in seclusion for ten years. Others may mind, but as the head of the Renzong, he doesn't need to worry about it.

Xiaoyaozi put the index and middle fingers of her left hand together, drew a few arcs in the air and placed them in front of her chest. Her whole body was shocked, and the surrounding environment, bound by Xiaomeng's Heaven and Earth Eclipse, immediately began to tremble slightly.

Then the bamboo hat on Xiaoyaozi's head flew automatically to Xiaomeng who was opposite, but Xiaomeng raised his hand and pinched the lotus seal, and the bamboo hat immediately flew back at a faster speed, rubbed Xiaoyaozi's side and was stuck in a tree behind him. On the tree trunk, the edge is obviously thick and soft, but it still penetrates three-thirds of the way into the wood, like an ax cutting into it.

Then Xiaoyaozi waved his right hand and lifted off the pure black cloak that had been covering the outside, revealing the Taoist robe he was wearing and the peculiar Taoist leader's token - Xue Ji.

Holding Xue Ji behind his back with his backhand, Xiaoyaozi's body began to glow with a little golden light, and then just like the blue light that swept across his body before, it quickly spread to his whole body with his heart as the center. Color' is also restored.

Tianzong's Heaven and Earth Eclipse is essentially to use the superb control of Qi to interfere with the influence, and even control all the Qi around you, including the Qi of the martial arts practitioner.

People who are not strong enough will be like these dead objects such as leaves, water drops, etc., having everything controlled and their colors taken away. But if they are strong enough, they can get rid of interference to a certain extent, and even move freely like Xiaoyaozi.

However, as long as he is within the realm of eclipse of heaven and earth, he will definitely be disturbed by Xiaomeng's true energy. It's just a matter of degree.

When facing a master like Xiaomeng who is no less powerful than him, even a little interference may change the outcome of the battle. Moreover, it is not good-looking, so Xiaoyaozi uses the rejuvenation of all things to erase the eclipse of heaven and earth covering himself. .

The rejuvenation of all things in Renzong is completely opposite to the eclipse of heaven and earth. The two restrain each other and can resolve each other.

To put it in a layman’s terms, the debuff is the result of the loss of the sky and the earth, and the buff is the rejuvenation of all things.

When facing opponents of the same level, the effects of both are very limited and can only be said to be better than nothing. Therefore, the reason why the two sects of heaven and man created these two unique skills is probably to compete with each other.

Looking at Xiaoyaozi who had regained his 'color', Xiaomeng chuckled and said, "This looks pretty cool."

After saying that, she slowly closed her eyes and shook the dust of the Qiuli sword in her hand. The water droplets on the surrounding leaves that had lost their color immediately rushed towards her under the influence of invisible force, shrouded in the aqua blue light of true energy. Gather into a ball.

Opposite Xiaoyaozi was similar to her at this time. He also gathered a group of leaves in front of him and wrapped it with golden infuriating energy. However, the objects he controlled were all restored to color.

The two are obviously going to have a fight now, but now is not the time for a sword debate between heaven and man, and naturally it is not the time for real action.

Therefore, the two of them had a tacit understanding and chose a more peaceful way of fighting - competing with each other.

It was somewhat similar to the previous competition between Xiaomeng and Fu Nian, but it was not entirely the same.

After a few breaths passed, the momentum of the two of them was almost built up.

Xiaoyaozi placed Xue Ji in front of him and took off his hands. He used his true energy to control it to float horizontally in front of him and spin slowly. Then he put his hands together and lightly slapped the sword on the position of the sword grid. The true energy in his body surged again. Successfully, the leaves wrapped in true energy rushed towards Xiaomeng with golden light all over the sky.

Xiaomeng opened her eyes, turned around, waved Qiuli and gently pushed it on the zhenqi leaf mass in front of her, and the aqua blue light burst out, also facing Xiaoyaozi.

The two masses of true energy came towards each other lightly and slowly, intersecting between the two, and immediately erupted into a violent collision of true energy, forming two spherical barriers with different colors, and the light undulated in waves.

The agitated true energy spread out in all directions, blowing the leaves and suppressing the grass, restoring a little 'life' to the forest that had fallen into a dead silence.

Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Xiaoyaozi made seals with both hands and once again fired out a stream of gilded Qi to replenish the front.

Xiaomeng's pressure suddenly increased and she took half a step back without warning.

Then she immediately launched a counterattack, letting go of the Qiuli Sword, and also spinning it horizontally in front of her, and also used an extra burst of energy to compete with Xiaoyaozi.

The situation between the two sides was once again in a stalemate, but the friction and collision between the two qi became more intense, creating an effect like a strong wind passing through the surrounding area.

The tall green grass on the ground was almost completely crushed to the ground, and the surrounding trees were shaking as if they were on the verge of collapse.

The two strands of true energy clashed fiercely, clearly distinct, but closely connected, forming a giant Tai Chi yin-yang fish with Xiaoyao Zi and Xiaomeng as the yin and yang eyes, flowing endlessly and in a cycle.

Faced with a stalemate, the two of them simultaneously made the choice to continuously increase the input of infuriating energy - there was only one way to compete with infuriating energy.

The gold and blue intertwined Tai Chi yin and yang fish continued to grow and expand, and finally even faintly evolved into a whole Tai Chi Bagua picture.

The true energy that was constantly escaping and flying around was gradually increasing, and even began to destroy the surrounding environment. Leaves and vegetation were all destroyed and shattered bit by bit.

The powerful force generated by the collision of zhenqi directly formed a huge hemispherical barrier covering the two people within a dozen feet, blocking all raindrops.

The rain hit the barrier, causing gray-white water splashes to appear as densely packed as ink spots.

At this time, Xiaoyaozi and Xiaomeng began to further increase their efforts!

The two of them started to form seals in unison, and their true energy flowed and lingered at their fingertips, and then flew around their bodies, turning into golden or blue characters.

Xiaoyaozi's side started with one row, and then directly multiplied to two rows, four rows, eight rows, and even covered the area in front of him.

Xiaomeng was similar to him, starting with one line, then multiplying to two, four, and eight lines, until the entire area was covered.

It seems that except for the different colors, everything else on the two sides is exactly the same, but in fact there is a big difference - the characters they condensed with their true energy are all from the Taoist classic "Zhuangzi", but what Xiaoyaozi wrote is "Human World" "The World" chapter, while Xiaomeng wrote the "Equality of Things" chapter.

After the two people finished spreading out their 'articles', they also changed their handprints at the same time. The characters in the sky immediately began to meander around the two people, intermingling and blending. Finally, they all gathered in front of the two people, evolving into a small Tai Chi Bagua. picture.

In the end, the two pushed two Tai Chi Bagua diagrams to each other at the same time - this was the final round of their first meeting.
