After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 484 The battle is over! The setting sun is like blood!

Becoming a saint is an insurmountable mountain for all warriors. Every martial saint stands at the top of heaven and earth, and can enter and leave the court, enjoy high positions and generous salaries, and be granted titles of nobility and king.

You can retreat to dominate the world and create a foundation.

A Martial Saint can almost dominate an entire state, and can even create a powerful family that lasts for thousands of years, such as the six major families and the five major immortal gates, etc., which is why he is superior to others.

It is because of the inheritance of the Martial Saint that we have such an honor.

In addition, for warriors, the holy realm is no less than a transformation from mortal to immortal. It is often said that a martial saint dreams for 800 years, which means that a martial saint can live for 800 years.

This is even longer than the lifespan of a dynasty.

Watch the rise and fall of the world and laugh at the changes of dynasties.

To enjoy freedom and ease can be called the path to eternal life.

This is the honor of being a Martial Saint. Not to mention transcending the tribulation and becoming a saint, even just watching is a rare opportunity for most people. After all, there are tens of thousands of warriors in the world.

Those who can enter the innate state can be said to be one in a hundred.

Those who can become saints are all heroes who have emerged from millions of people.

At this moment, even the Red Blood Demon Lord, Qi Tianzhong, Zhao Xianzhi and other Yuanshen Lords were staring at the movements in the void with burning gazes, with unspeakable expressions flashing in their eyes.

After all, their biggest goal is to become a Martial Saint.

As the world fell into silence and the lightning in the sky gradually dissipated, everyone's eyes were focused on the void, even the great master of Baiyue.

You could hear a pin drop, and there was total silence all around.

After about a few breaths.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and only a ray of blood-red light rushed towards Jiang Che. At this moment, everyone's face sank, and they guessed Li Chengguo's fate.

Under the thunder tribulation, both body and soul are destroyed!
Only one of the previously promised blood-origin divine beads remained.

“Oh, what a pity.”

"The thunder tribulation is truly a natural chasm that only ordinary people can cross."

"Li Chengguo committed treason and rebellion, but he died in the thunderbolt. It can be said that he got what he wanted."

As the thunder tribulation came to an end, everyone sighed.

Although Li Chengguo is an opponent, as warriors they still want to see Li Chengguo survive the thunder tribulation and achieve the holy realm of Yangshen. But in the eyes of some people, this is actually the best outcome for Li Chengguo.

If he had not fallen under the thunder tribulation, he would not have survived even if he had become a saint.

He died in a thunder calamity and could be considered a local hero.

Jiang Che did not have any great feelings about this result, because long before Li Chengguo underwent the tribulation, he had guessed that Li Chengguo's end would most likely not be good.

If he was in his prime, there might still be some hope, but now, his body and soul are both severely damaged, and he has no holy soldiers to protect him. How difficult is it for him to survive the nine levels of thunder tribulation?

Reaching out to take the Blood Source Pearl, Jiang Che took a quick look at it with his mind, and he felt a powerful blood and energy force from within the pearl, which was extremely refined, like a holy medicine.

If it is swallowed, it will definitely be a tonic.

After all, this blood source divine bead is condensed from the essence and blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Under normal circumstances, such a large amount of essence and blood is enough to turn into a pool of blood, but now it has been refined into the size of a fist.

One can imagine the power it contains.

After obtaining the Blood Source Divine Pearl, Jiang Che's harvest this time was enormous. Not only did he obtain this treasure, he also had tens of thousands of Zhennan Army under his command, and also had Li Chengguo's dying words.

After that, he will conquer the rest of the Zhennan Army by simply issuing an order, which means his power will increase dramatically.

However, where there are gains there are losses. Not to mention the six great masters who died on Jiang Che's side, he had successively used the Qi family's Soul-Calming Bell and the Martial Saint Jade Doll, and now they have all disappeared into the turbulence of the void.

The damage is not insignificant.
Looking around, Jiang Che's voice spread throughout the world:
"Sound the horn. Retreat!"

The war has come to an end, and the next step is to properly deal with the aftermath. He still has a lot of things to do. At the same time, the Baiyue coalition forces have also begun to retreat in an orderly manner.

Only half of the troops were left, and they looked in a very miserable state.

All the Baiyue soldiers and even the grand masters looked depressed, like eggplants hit by frost. After all, they came out in full force this time, but not only did they fail to achieve any merit.

On the contrary, the losses were heavy.

It can be expected that the national strength of the Baiyue countries will be greatly damaged in the future, and several countries that have lost several Yuanshen masters may even face the danger of overthrow.

The black-robed Martial Saint of the Witch God Temple, who was standing in the void, turned around and left with an expressionless face. In fact, the reason why he stayed here was that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.

Once Li Chengguo becomes a saint, he may change his mind and fight again. If Li Chengguo fails to survive the tribulation, he will want to take away the blood source divine pearl.

It was a pity that Yao Yue and that old madman were watching him too closely. He had a premonition that if he took action, he would be besieged. He couldn't help but make some guesses about the situation on the northern border of the Central Plains.

Perhaps, the Central Plains court blocked it.

However, it has nothing to do with him now. After all, at this point, he can't do it even if he wants to, and can only admit defeat honestly.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared between heaven and earth.

Xie Changan, dressed in black, sighed and turned his gaze towards Gu Zhen and Qing Qing:
"Let's go back to the temple."

Qingqing hesitated to speak. She actually wanted to take the opportunity to say hello to Jiang Che, but she knew that now was not a good opportunity. Baiyue suffered too much loss this time.

As a goddess of the temple, she would be punished if she had secret dealings with foreign enemies.

I could only nod with a frustrated look on my face.

As for Gu Zhen's idea, it was much simpler. After the previous battle, he had already set his future target on Jiang Che, and he wanted to become such a peerless strong man who could sweep away everything.

As the Baiyue coalition forces retreated in large numbers and Li Chengguo failed to survive the catastrophe, tens of thousands of Zhennan troops bowed their heads in silence and beat their armor in an orderly manner with the backs of their swords.

This was to see Li Chengguo off.

No one spoke during the meeting, which seemed extremely solemn.

"Humph!"

Yin Suxin, who was hiding in the dark, kept cursing Li Chengguo in her heart. She borrowed the resources of the Qingtian Sect, but in the end she gave the Blood Source Divine Pearl to Jiang Che and also gave the Zhennan Army to Jiang Che.

Are you worthy of the cultivation of the Holy Religion?
He is simply an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

It's a pity that no matter how angry she was at the moment, she could only rage in her heart. As the battle was about to end, she didn't even dare to reveal the slightest breath.

It burrowed silently into the ground.
"Thank you very much for the help from the National Master and the old Sword Saint. I will remember it in my heart. Please come into the city for a chat." The war was over, but Jiang Che did not forget to thank Yao Yue and the old Sword Saint of Jiange.

If they had not stepped up to support him this time, he would certainly not have been able to stop the Martial Saint of Baiyue, and this battle would have been declared a defeat, and the entire Yuezhou might have fallen into the hands of the barbarians.

Both the people of Yuezhou and himself should express their gratitude for this.

The old man in white looked at Jiang Che, showing no emotion:
"I am not doing this for the imperial court, but to defend the borders of the Central Plains. Envoy Jiang, you don't need to thank me. If we are destined to meet again in the future, I will take my leave."

After saying this simple sentence, the old man in white slowly turned into a ray of spiritual light and dissipated between heaven and earth. He didn't even give Jiang Che a chance to say hello. Jiang Che didn't know what to say.

I can only bow:
"Farewell, old Sword Saint." Yao Yue did not leave with the old Sword Saint, but slowly descended from the void, her cold eyes fixed on Jiang Che for a few moments, and said lightly:

"Although the Blood Source Pearl is a powerful medicine, it is still an external object. Use it with caution."

"Thank you for your advice, Imperial Master."

Jiang Che nodded.

"I came here on the orders of His Majesty. I arrived before you started the war. However, the Martial Saint Covenant is in place, so I cannot interfere at will."

As if not wanting Jiang Che to have any misunderstanding, Yao Yue explained calmly.

“Jiang naturally understands this matter, but no matter what, I still want to thank the National Master for his help. Counting the time in the capital, the National Master has helped me twice.

It's a pity that Jiang is now too weak to repay you."

Jiang Che was indeed grateful to this cold and aloof Imperial Master.

Yao Yue glanced at Jiang Che and said casually:
"There will be opportunities in the future."

Jiang Che nodded:

"Okay, then Jiang will remember this first, and I will definitely repay the Imperial Master's kindness twice in the future."

"Ah."

Yao Yue nodded slightly and said no more.

Jiang Che had nothing to do at the moment. The soldiers below were all returning to bury the dead and treat the wounded. No one would come to disturb his conversation with Yao Yue at this moment.

But the atmosphere at the moment was somewhat strange. Jiang Che thought for a moment and asked in a low voice:
"Does the Imperial Master know how the war in the north is going?"

Jiang Che knew before that it was not just the Baiyue coalition that was invading the Central Plains this time, but the most dangerous were the barbarians in the north, so the imperial court could not spare much manpower.

"I don't know either, but the situation shouldn't be too dire."

Yao Yue replied casually.

After he finished speaking, Jiang Che nodded, and for a moment he didn't know how to bring up the next topic. After all, Yao Yue looked like she didn't want anyone to approach her, so it was really difficult to communicate with her.

Just as Jiang Che was thinking secretly, suddenly, the void that had originally fallen into calm suddenly changed again, as if the void collapsed, and a terrifying power suddenly erupted.

Jiang Che's eyes focused instantly, and he was about to take precautions, but when he saw that Yao Yue's expression did not change at all, he immediately felt relieved and quickly retreated behind Yao Yue.

But what was beyond Jiang Che's expectations was that this time the void was shaken not by a powerful Martial Saint, but by two holy soldiers working together to break through the void barrier, one bell and one tower.

The bell is the Qi family soul-calming bell, and the tower is the nine-story blood tower.

At this moment, two holy weapons broke out from the void, and then each of them emitted light. Before Jiang Che could speak, Yao Yue on the side had already made a move, and suppressed the two holy weapons with a wave of his hand.

It's like two toys, held in the hands.

"The Qi family's underlying strength that you used before has been exhausted. These two things should be their last resort, and they are delivered to you." Yao Yue said softly.

"Oh?"

Jiang Che's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

He originally thought that he had completely lost all his qualities as a Martial Saint, but now it seems that is not the case. Although the power of the Martial Saint Jade Doll has dissipated, the Nine-story Blood Tower seems to have become his.

He had just seen with his own eyes that this nine-story blood tower destroyed the Soul-Suppressing Bell with just one blow. It was obvious that its power was extraordinary. If he could control it, he would definitely have a support.

"The Soul-Suppressing Bell is fine, but the evil spirit from before was suppressed in this nine-story blood tower. You have to be careful when controlling it. If you can subdue it, it can be a means of self-protection."

As she spoke, Yao Yue had already handed the two holy weapons to Jiang Che, and reminded him to be careful.

Jiang Che's thoughts flooded into the Nine-story Blood Tower, and he immediately felt a brutal murderous intent hidden in it, which made him feel very nervous. He immediately nodded solemnly.

"This tower has a spirit, and it is not easy to tame it. You should get familiar with it for a few days first, and then I will help you."

Yao Yue said casually.

After finishing speaking, Yao Yue didn't waste any more words. She turned around and flew away, leaving behind only a burst of fragrance.

However, Jiang Che obviously did not have too many feelings. At this moment, his eyes were still on the Nine-story Blood Tower. If he could conquer this tower, he would no longer have to rely on the Qi family's holy soldiers in the future.

If the Martial Saint does not come out, he can run rampant in the world.

Of course, even if the Martial Saint came out, he might be able to compete with him by self-destructing the Holy Soldiers. However, it is too early to say this now, because the Holy Soldiers are not so easy to subdue.

Especially the holy soldiers who possess the Holy Spirit, who can be said to have their own consciousness. He really cannot subdue this thing by himself.

After putting away the two holy weapons, Jiang Che looked into the distance. At this moment, as the troops of both sides retreated, the sky and the earth were empty, with only bloodstains and broken limbs on the ground.

The setting sun looks like a blood-red sunset.

A desolate mood filled the world.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Che was deeply touched.

This great victory was not achieved by his own efforts. It was won by the desperate fighting of dozens of great masters and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. However, the price was also extremely cruel.

Countless people lost their lives here.

Standing with his hands behind his back, his robe fluttering, Jiang Che looked towards the south and whispered:
"One day, Jiang Che will avenge you all and wash Baiyue with blood, so as to live up to the kindness of all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for me."

This victory was a pyrrhic one.

Jiang Che will never forget these grudges, and one day he will repay them tenfold or a hundredfold.

"You're right. One day, we will surely massacre all the Baiyue people." The voice of the Red Blood Demon Lord sounded slowly, with a solemn look on his face. This time, most of the 30,000 Blood Armor Army he led were killed or wounded.

There are less than ten thousand left, and because of the use of the magic secrets, even if the remaining people can survive, they will suffer backlash every day in the future. It is no exaggeration to say that life is worse than death.

Even though he had a heart of stone, he was still deeply touched.

"How are those soldiers?"

Jiang Che looked at the Red Blood Demon Lord.

The Red Blood Demon Lord sighed and narrated everything. Jiang Che fell silent after a long while.

"What I promised before was a promise that all the Blood Armor soldiers, whether alive or dead, would have their future taken care of by me."

The Red Blood Demon Lord grinned:
"It's not just the Blood Armor Army, there are more than 100,000 wounded and disabled people."

Jiang Che looked solemn and said in a deep voice:

"Now that I have won this battle, I am the true King of Yuezhou and can afford it."

At the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket!
