Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 611 Nanhua Ruthlessness
At this time in the Yellow Turban Army camp, Zhang Jue was looking at the moon and sighing, while Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were beside him, but they didn't know why their brother was sighing.

It was obvious that they had the advantage. As long as they defeated the imperial army in front of them, they could roam freely in the vast sky and land. Then they could gather a million Yellow Turbans, and wait until September 8th in autumn, when the Yellow Turbans would rush to Luoyang and kill the incompetent and foolish monarch. They would let the eldest brother sit in that position, and the world would be at peace from then on. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"The sky wants to destroy me, the earth wants to kill me, and people want to kill me." Zhang Jue said lightly, coughing a few times during the conversation. This was absolutely abnormal for him, who had reached the level of a casual immortal and was in an even higher realm. But for him now, it was the most normal thing.

"You can take my life, but I can't accept it! I must go down this road. If I can't make it, there will be people who come after me. I am not alone!" Zhang Jue said resolutely.
After hearing what they just said and looking at their brother's eyes full of guilt, even if Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were slow-witted, they knew that there were some things they didn't know, and they would definitely have to pay a huge price for it.

"We are brothers for life. Wherever elder brother is, we will be there too. Even if we have to die together, we will die together." Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang said resolutely.

From the day they shouted to their eldest brother that the blue sky was dead and the yellow sky should be established, they had already put life and death aside.

"Tomorrow we will set up the altar and let the three of us brothers fight against the heavens." Zhang Jue wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, held the hands of his two brothers and said.

The next morning, Liu Bei and others discovered that the Yellow Turban Army was building an altar.

The entire altar is based on yellow stone and made of yellow earth. It is divided into three floors and is nine feet high. It is quite spectacular.

The three Zhang Jue brothers put on yellow robes, held nine-section magic staffs in their hands, and sat cross-legged on the altar, as if they had merged into one with the entire altar. The Yellow Turban priests performed rituals around the altar day and night, and countless Yellow Turban soldiers followed suit and prayed. Their momentum became more and more astonishing, and even the immortals hiding in the dark were alarmed.

If it were someone else, Huangfu Song and others would definitely think that the other party was playing tricks, but they had dealt with the three brothers of the Zhang family more than once or twice, so they naturally knew that the other party really understood magic and supernatural powers.

An altar of such a scale and such a grand ceremony made them secretly frightened. Even the imperial court troops were on high alert and did not dare to relax at all day or night.

Only Yan Xu knew that the Zhang brothers’ opponent was not the imperial court, but the heavens and the immortals.

Right now Zhang Jiao is trying to go against the will of heaven, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang have to block those immortals for him, and the Yellow Turban Army wants to stop the imperial troops.

It seems thorough, but in fact it is a dead end no matter how you look at it.

But after feeling Zhang Jiao's undisguised determination, Yan Xu suddenly fell silent.

He chose to be detached and walked on the path of detachment. This was his choice and his goal. However, some people chose to give up detachment and go against the will of heaven for some irrelevant people, and even set themselves on fire.

Transcendence is against the will of heaven, practicing is against the will of heaven, everyone can do it for themselves, but Zhang Jue’s choice is not for himself.

You may not understand or support the choices made by these people, but you cannot laugh at their choices, nor can you deny their sacrifices.

Yan Xu admitted that he did not have such a high level of awareness and could not be so selfless, but it was still no problem for him to contribute and beat someone up.

It just so happened that Xu Fu died too quickly and I didn’t even have time to ask. I hope this time I can find someone who is more durable.

When Liu Bei and his two companions arrived, Yan Xu changed into a set of armor, tied his hair with a mustard ring, protected his chest with a Tiandun mirror, had a broken jade hook hanging around his waist, and held the Five Thunder Divine Sword in his hand. His aura alone made it difficult for Liu, Guan and Zhang to approach him.

"gentlemen!"

"After all, I just can't stand it, so let's go fight. You guys go and do your own thing." Yan Xu appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was actually beating faster and faster. Some kind of awareness, some kind of emotion, was brewing deep in his heart, waiting for the moment to explode.

"I hope you will return victorious!" Although Liu Bei didn't know what the master was going to do or who his opponent would be, he knew that the master had made his choice, so he took his two brothers to see him off.

Yan Xu waved his hand, raised the Five Thunder Sword in his hand, and with a roar of thunder, he turned into a ray of lightning and broke through the air.

Yan Xu was not interested in ordinary small fish and shrimps. He followed the cause and effect and went straight to a valley and spoke.

"Old Immortal Nanhua, let's fight."

"An unusual number." The old immortal Nanhua who turned into wind was accompanied by Zuo Ci with a strange expression. At this moment, he stared at Yan Xu with his pair of green eyes. After making some calculations, he showed surprise on his face and said, "An unusual number."

"How can I be unusual? I just can't stand it. I want to see what kind of person General Tiangong's master is." Yan Xu smiled on the surface, but he was actually tense. The old immortal Nanhua was not a rookie, nor was he a fake like Xu Fu. How could he dare not be careless?

"I am not his master. I just passed on three volumes of the heavenly book to him. Now the opportunity has run out." The old immortal Nanhua said expressionlessly.

"Yes, three volumes of heavenly books, a few vows, and the death of a potential earthly immortal. It was quite a good move." The encounter between the immortal Nanhua and Zhang Jue was a perfect template for the protagonist's adventure.

Zhang Jiao was originally a failed scholar. When he went into the mountains to collect herbs, he met an old man with blue eyes and a childlike face, and he looked like an immortal. Naturally, he bowed down to him and worshipped him.

The old man was not vague and specifically called him to a cave. After all, adventures cannot be separated from caves, so if there is no cave, he will have to find one now.

In the cave, the old man gave him three volumes of heavenly books, which were the "Taiping Yaoshu".

At the same time, he also said, "If you have obtained it, you can spread the teachings of heaven in this era and save the world; if you have any other thoughts, you will surely receive bad retribution." After he finished speaking, he turned into a gust of wind and left.

The whole process was trouble-free, the only problem was the oath.

What seemed like a warning became an oath to bind Zhang Jue the moment he bowed and accepted it. This was easy for the immortal Nanhua, who had broken through the ordinary boundaries of the earth.

If Zhang Jue had followed his original destiny, he would have continued to develop the Taiping Dao as he did at the beginning, and eventually it would have become the ancestral home of Taoism. He would also have achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven, becoming one of the four great heavenly masters.

However, in the process of preaching, Zhang Jue was gradually influenced and began to empathize with the sufferings of the lower-class people, and eventually embarked on a completely different path.

If there were no oath to constrain him, even if he took this path, Zhang Jue would not be so miserable, let alone so passive.

The most important thing is that the old immortal Nanhua has revealed his calculations since Guangzong until now. His act of denying that Zhang Jiao is his disciple and drawing a clear line between them also allows Yan Xu to act without any scruples.

"Old Immortal Nanhua, come and die!" Yan Xu shouted loudly, and the Five Thunder Swords in his hand turned into thunder of heavenly punishment, hitting the head of Old Immortal Nanhua directly. Zuo Ci, who was standing aside, was afraid of being caught in the fish pond, so he ran away long ago.

Faced with this earth-shattering blow, the old immortal Nanhua, holding the rattan stick, remained calm.

"Close the moon."

With a whisper, the old immortal Nanhua disappeared without any warning. No matter how strong the thunder was, it was useless if it couldn't hit.

The old immortal Nanhua came out on the moon and swung his staff, with fire all over the sky. Yan Xu tried to block with his magic weapon but was easily beaten back.

However, with the protection of the Najie Ring, he could not be hurt. It was just that no one knew the origin of this Nanhua Immortal. He seemed real or illusory. He could turn into wind and disappear with the moon. His attacks were like lightning and fire. He could not resist with just a wild goose stick.

This is not because the other party is a martial arts expert, but because his control over the Tao is superior to his, which is a suppression of his realm.

If the difference in levels between the two sides was not so big, if the old immortal Nanhua was not an expert in attack, and Yan Xu took the path of combining martial arts and techniques, and had a magic treasure to protect himself, he would have been taken down by the opponent long ago.

But this is better, because Yan Xu needs an opponent who can put enough pressure on him without killing him.

Unfortunately, although the reaction of the Heavenly Dao was slow, it was not dead, especially with the operation of the old immortal Nanhua, so it didn't take long for Yan Xu to feel vaguely rejected.

However, Yan Xu also understood the way of the immortal Nanhua at this time, which was to follow the will of heaven and be ruthless, which were the standard characteristics of cultivation.

Following the will of heaven allows the Nanhua Immortal to accurately grasp the pulse of heaven's laws, do things in accordance with the trend, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Being ruthless allows the old immortal Nanhua to calmly and rationally pursue benefits for himself and not miss any opportunity due to emotions.

This was his plan for Zhang Jue. He followed the will of heaven, bestowed three volumes of heavenly books, and made the other party swear an oath to spread the teachings of heaven and save the world, which was perfectly in line with the trend of heaven.

However, he used humans as bait to lure Zhang Jue into the world of mortals and made him unable to extricate himself, and eventually he chose his own death, which was a complete plot.

The only question now is what the Immortal Nanhua is planning and what secrets Zhang Jue is hiding.

Seeing that Tiandao was getting more and more pressing, Yan Xu frowned. If that was the case, just ignore him and stop bullying others.
