Chapter 1628 The battle for the Stone of Fire

Chapter 1628 The battle for the Stone of Fire (continued)

The collision between the qi is often fierce and dull. As soon as the Bagua Tai Chi diagrams with different colors on the two sides come into contact, they just make a muffled sound.

The two clumps of leaves that had been rubbing and colliding with each other in the center of the battle were instantly shattered, and all the energy that the two had vented from the beginning to the end exploded at this moment.

Invisible air waves roared in all directions, and the brute force directly broke all the weeds within ten feet of Xiaoyao Zi Xiaomeng. At the same time, it also broke the roots of the big trees within this range, and blew them all into the distance. Ragged tree roots are left behind.

The rain that kept dripping from the sky was even blown back in the opposite direction, as if it had been temporarily stopped. It took a while before it started falling again.

At the center of the battle, the woods that had lost their color due to the eclipse of Xiaomeng's sky and earth had returned to their original state, and raindrops were falling on the ground normally.

The two of them were each covered with a light barrier of true energy mist, blocking the rain that hit them.

Then the two of them each retracted their weapons, Xue Ji still kept it in its sheath, while Qiu Li unsheathed it by a few inches.

Obviously, Xiaomeng was slightly inferior in this round.

However, Xiaomeng didn't seem to care. She looked at Xiaoyaozi and said calmly, "This is your true strength."

She used this sentence in an affirmative rather than a question, which sounded like she had already confirmed this.

Xiaoyaozi had no intention of further explaining this, and Fuxu said politely:
  "I've heard about your name for a long time, and this is the first time we've met. I accept my offer, junior sister."

"With your cultivation level, it might have been possible to defeat my senior brother Chisongzi five years ago, but it was not the right path after all." Xiao Meng's words always make people's blood pressure soar, and they are labeled as evil.

Xiaoyaozi was also good-tempered and replied calmly, "There is only one Tao, but there are thousands of Dharmas."

"The Human Sect and the Heavenly Sect actually reach the same goal through different paths."

A smile appeared on Xiaomeng's lips when she heard this, and she suddenly took out a mahogany box and asked in a disdainful tone:

"Is this your human sect's path to seek enlightenment?"

Xiaoyaozi frowned slightly when he saw the box - this thing belonged to the Renzong, which was the Renzong treasure that Mu Xuzi took away when he defected.

Now that they are in Xiaomeng's hands, it seems that those of his disciples really died at her hands - although he was basically certain of this before, the evidence is now considered conclusive.

This made Xiaoyaozi feel really angry.

"Summer insects can't talk about ice!" He responded in an angry voice with an aggravated tone.

Xiao Meng gave her own evaluation, "If you are eager for quick success, you can't escape the devil!"

"Killing fellow disciples and treating the common people as stupid dogs, isn't this the right path?"

Xiaomeng's smile did not diminish, she turned sideways and replied calmly, "Life is a lifetime, and the grass and trees are autumn. It is ridiculous that you have been cultivating Taoism for many years and have not escaped from life and death!"

"Tianzong claims to be aloof, so how can he be willing to be a pawn of the empire?" Xiaoyaozi retorted unceremoniously.

"When you pass by the shade of a tree while walking, it does not mean that you belong to this tree. Don't you understand this?"

After Xiaoyaozi was silent for a moment, he asked again, "Junior sister Xiaomeng, what do you want?"

"What I want has been proven just now." Xiao Meng replied casually.

However, her answer was to a certain extent deceiving Xiaoyaozi - she met Xiaoyaozi today for a simple purpose, to weigh each other's worth, and she had already obtained the answer from the previous confrontation.

But of course that's not what Xiaoyaozi wants to ask.

"What did junior sister prove?" Xiaoyaozi asked.

"You don't deserve Xue Ji."

"Xue Ji... If you want it, you can take it now." Xiaoyaozi stretched out his hand and placed Xue Ji in front of him.

"Back then, the two masters made a covenant between heaven and man every five years to observe swordsmanship in Miaotai, and the winner would take charge of Xueji. They wanted to avoid unnecessary conflicts of doctrine and killing each other. I hope you will not go against the painstaking efforts of the ancestors. .”

Xiao Menghun replied nonchalantly, "What's the matter of winning and losing? You're the one who doesn't understand the Patriarch's intention, right?"

"The covenant between heaven and man is to allow the heavenly sect and the human sect to confirm each other's understanding of the right path, so that the one who has gone astray can stop immediately."

Xiaomeng turned around completely, facing away from Xiaoyaozi and continued, "I will take this sword from your hand in front of all the disciples of the Renzong, so that they can witness the great road."

It's hard to say which one is right or wrong in the dispute between principles, but Xiaomeng's side is really big, that's absolutely right.

After saying that, Xiaomeng stepped away. After taking two steps, his figure gradually became illusory and transparent, disappearing from Xiaoyaozi's sight. Finally, he left a vague and illusory words:

"Taiyi Mountain Viewing Platform, at this point, Renzong will have no value in continuing to exist."

Xiaoyaozi put away Xueji again, stared at the direction where Xiaomeng disappeared with a solemn expression, and sighed in his heart.

It doesn't matter to him who wins or loses in the covenant between heaven and man, and Xue Ji, the Taoist leader's token, is not a necessary thing for him, but he does care about Xiao Meng's thoughts.

This made his desire to win a lot higher - if he could directly win the contract between heaven and man, the two sects of heaven and man might still be able to maintain peace in the past five years.

But whether they can win is another question.

Although he won the round of competition just now, it did not mean that his strength was really higher than Xiaomeng.

It was just a Qi competition. He was so many years older than Xiaomeng and had an absolute advantage. It could even be said that if he had lost, there would be no need to fight that day - he would definitely not be able to defeat Xiaomeng!
  Now that he has won this round, it only means that Xiaomeng's internal strength is not as good as his, but in actual combat, it is hard to say what the outcome will be.

After all, true energy is only one aspect of strength.

The thoughts of an eighteen-year-old girl are really unpredictable!

………………

Daze Mountain, on the other road to Luomapo.

At this time, it can be described as a gathering of winds and clouds and a gathering of heroes.

The real Zhong Limei was driving a carriage, escorted by nearly a hundred guards, escorting the Stone of Enlightenment and was passing here.

In fact, Zhang Han's arrangement for the Yin Yang Dart this time was quite rough. Not only did he arrange the two groups of people so close to each other, but the size of the personnel was also uneven. The real darts looked more reliable than the virtual darts.

There is only one reason for this situation - Zhang Han himself is not very interested.

There are two reasons why he doesn't care.

First of all, the Stone of Enlightenment is indeed not the focus of his attention. If this thing is lost, it is lost. The main responsibility belongs to Bai Tu and Wang Li, and it cannot be blamed on him.

Although he was the one who asked for the Yinghuo Stone to be escorted in advance, and he was the one who arranged the Yin Yang Dart plan, but... he could put the blame entirely on Bai Tu.

In officialdom, you must be proficient in how to let others take the blame for you.

Zhang Han has never done this before, because the special nature of the Shadow Guard makes it difficult to find a suitable candidate to take the blame, and he is not someone who likes to shirk responsibility.

But this time, the opportunity was just right, and Bai Tu didn't have any psychological burden on him. It didn't hurt to deceive the other party, just to purify the officialdom.

Secondly, even if he seriously planned this escort operation, it would be meaningless.

Bai Tu's military camp is like a sieve, with holes everywhere. Unless he calls all the Shadow Guards to escort him, the plan will be leaked no matter what.

In that case, why should he bother anymore?
  In places where Zhong Limei couldn't see, at the surrounding cliffs, stone walls, woods and other places, a large number of people from Shennong Hall and Chi You Hall were watching this road and the escort convoy driving on this road.

In addition, there are also Shadow Guards, Gui Gu Zongheng, and Zhong Limei's good brother Han Xin. They are all hiding around and watching the next development of the situation. On a certain stone wall, Tian Hu crossed his arms and scanned the road below with squinted eyes, muttering:

"The empire's team has arrived, where are the people arranged by Ayan?"

"Don't make mistakes for me at this time!"

Hearing this, Tian Zhong comforted him and said, "Second Master, don't worry. The eldest lady has always been clever and resourceful, so there will definitely be no problem."

While the two were talking, the manpower arranged by Tian Yan finally appeared.

A round figure ran out on the road, holding this lollipop in his hand, wearing colorful clothes, with a big belly, two swords on his back, and a colorful windmill stuck behind his head. Wandering around - none other than Ah Ci.

As for why he appeared here... he was naturally ordered by someone else!
  Tian Hu and his party didn't know this cute little fat guy with a silly smile at all, and they were a little confused at the moment.

"This...this is the person arranged by Ayan!?" Tian Hu's voice was more worried than before.

A little fat guy who doesn’t look very young, and he has such a...smart smile on his face - he must be a disabled person! ?

Is Ayan planning to use this silly fat man to win sympathy and trick people in the empire into handing over the Stone of Fire?

After being dumbfounded, he quickly asked Tian Zhong, "Who is this person?"

"No...I don't know!" Tian Zhong was also confused at this time, "I have never heard of...there is such a person in Lieshan Hall!"

"Maybe... it's the master newly recruited by the eldest lady?" Tian Zhong put forward a guess.

When Tian Hu heard this, he immediately sneered and asked, "Do you think he looks like a master?"

"Uh..." Tian Zhong hesitated for a moment, but he didn't have the nerve to give a definite answer.

It really doesn’t look like it!

"Then let's..."

"Hiss..." Tian Hu touched his chin and gritted his teeth and replied, "Let's take a look first..."

He decided to trust his eldest niece... If it didn't work out, they would temporarily take over.

Fortunately, I still have Mr. Jin with me, so I am not left unavailable.

Gui Gu Zongheng, who was also watching the situation on the road, and Zhang Han's reactions were completely different from Tian Hu's.

"Why is it him..."

On the cliff, Gai Nie, who was standing side by side with Wei Zhuang, could not help but twitch his eyelids. He was very surprised to see Aci here.

Wei Zhuang on the side also raised his eyebrows, obviously not knowing that Ah Ci would appear here.

Gai Nie glanced at his junior brother's reaction and saw that he probably didn't understand the situation, but he still asked:
  "Do you know what's going on?"

"Maybe... it's a surprise?" Wei Zhuang shrugged and answered casually.

He was wondering in his mind whether this was some extra help arranged for him by Gu Xun - of course it didn't refer to Aci. This child rarely acted alone, and there must be others following him.

Gai Nie was speechless.

It's also a surprise... Do you want to translate for me what a surprise is?

On the cliff on the other side, Zhang Han's reaction was similar to that of Gui Gu Zongheng. He looked at Ah Ci who suddenly appeared and didn't know what to say.

After smacking his lips, Zhang Han turned back to look at his subordinates:

"Why is this child here?"

"No... I don't know, General, I haven't received any relevant information."

Zhang Han couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with a headache - before coming here, Gu Xun said that he had arranged some help for him, could it be this child?

It feels unreliable...

Of course, this was just a joke. Zhang Han thought about it and realized that Ah Ci was mostly related to the help Gu Xun had prepared for him. It was impossible to really let this immature child help him.

But he was a little curious about what kind of help it would involve this child...

At this time, Zhong Limei's team below also began to approach Aci.

Looking at Ah Ci not far away who seemed to be out for fun, Zhong Limei was also a little confused - he didn't know Ah Ci.

It seemed that he was just a fat passerby who appeared here by chance, and he seemed a bit stupid, but he seemed to have a weapon behind him, and when he saw them, the imperial soldiers had no intention of hiding, and he seemed to be heading towards them. of.

After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and shouted loudly, "The whole army is on alert!"

Then he began to slow down the carriage, and the entire team slowed down with his movements. Finally, it slowly stopped not far in front of Aci.

If he was sure that the person blocking the road was an enemy who came to intercept the Stone of Fire, he would drive directly into it without caring about it.

But now he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to stop the convoy to find out more.

"Who are you who dare to intercept the imperial army?" Sitting on the carriage, Zhong Limei stared at the silly little fat man in front of him and asked in a solemn voice.

"Me?" Ah Ci, who was bored on the road, pointed at himself after hearing Zhong Limei's words, and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for someone, oh no, I'm waiting for something."

"Hehehe, sister asked Ah Ci to wait for a box here..."

"Hey, big brother, it seems to be the box behind you?"

Azhi tilted his head and took a closer look, confirming that the box behind Zhong Limei was his target. He immediately became excited, scratched his head and asked with a silly smile:

"Brother, can you give me that box? I can..."

Ah Ci looked around, and finally reached out his lollipop with great distress, "I can give you the candy back, hehehe."

Zhong Limei's brows trembled. He couldn't tell whether the farmer had found a fool to insult him, or whether the man in front of him was pretending to be stupid to insult him.

But at least one thing is certain - the other party is indeed coming for the Stone of Fire!

Then don’t worry about whether you are stupid or not, just take down the person first!

"Come here, capture him and take him back for strict interrogation!"

Immediately, several soldiers dismounted and approached Azi with weapons in hand.

He glanced at the soldiers with some fear, and asked timidly, "Don't you want to give the box to Azi?"

The only response he got was Zhong Limei's cold command, "Get him!"

After hearing this, the soldiers quickly surrounded Aci and wanted to arrest him.

Then Zhong Limei only felt a flash of sword light in front of his eyes, and couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, the soldiers surrounding the silly little fat man who he thought was no threat all collapsed to the ground powerlessly, and blood flowed from them. It flowed out from under them.

Looking at the fat man again, he was clearly holding a sword in each hand, a red broad sword and a green thin sword. The moment he saw it, he was not ordinary.
