Chapter 195: Evil God Way, Breakthrough to Martial Saint
Agate River.

Tuoba Deyu, the martial saint of the Tuoba clan, reined in his horse and stopped, looking at the densely packed corpses in the snow.

He couldn't imagine what had happened here.

He could only ask his men to write a letter to Dadu as soon as possible.

……

Liangzhou.

"boom--"

The blood mist was already away from people's heads, with only a few dozen feet left.

There are no more birds flying in the sky.

Crows gathered in groups on the eaves and roofs, looking very dense.

The streets, buildings, and even everything within people's sight turned bloody red, as if the world was filled with blood. Depression and suffocation followed one after another, and the huge city fell into an extremely strange silence.

In the mansion of the Marquis of Wuyi.

Siqin Mohua and the two maids were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.

"Master."

Zhao Zhao watched the blood mist getting closer and closer: "What should we do? Are we going to turn into blood soon... I heard that even Chen Sanshi's master is trapped here and can't get out."

"His master is trapped, but doesn't he still have him?"

Ningxiang looked up and said quietly, "This is not just a disaster for Liangzhou, this is a disaster for the whole world."

Great Wall.

"What should I do?!"

The Sixth Prince Cao Huan was so worried that even his hair was a little messy.

He had just ended more than a decade of imprisonment and was finally able to return to the court to do something, but then he encountered such a great disaster in the world. If things continued like this, he would probably be turned into blood soon.

"What's the situation in Youzhou?"

"Not bad. We will be able to capture Licheng Prefecture in the next few days."

"After Licheng Prefecture, there is Zhutuo Pass!"

Cao Huan was exhausted: "Zhutuo Pass is the most difficult to attack. I'm afraid... it's too late!"

"Yes."

Second Senior Brother Cheng Wei fiddled with his abacus, "Inside Zhutuo Pass, there are a hundred thousand defenders, as well as several Martial Saints and Immortal Masters. Jiang Yuanbo and others in the capital are still on their way. With only General Lu and his men, I'm afraid there is little hope."

"First the white robe is damaged, then Liangzhou is lost, could it be..."

Cao Huan opened his arms and said, "Is God going to destroy Dasheng?!"

"Your Highness."

Fang Qingyun interrupted, "General Chen's battle report hasn't come back yet, so it's better not to jump to conclusions."

"General Fang, now that things have come to this, there is no need for you to speak for General Chen anymore. He died for his country, and even if he disobeyed orders first, no one will punish him."

Cao Huan sighed: "What a pity, my twelfth brother!"

Cao Zhi, Prince of Yan.

He watched him grow up.

Although the two do not have the same mother, their relationship has always been the best among all siblings.

Should have known so.

Cao Zhi should not have been allowed to take risks with the Hongze Camp.

No, it should be said that he should not come to Liangzhou!
"Report——"

"A letter from Agate River!"

"Oh?"

Cao Huan was startled: "Quick, are my twelfth brother and General Chen still alive?"

Looking at the current situation.

Even if the entire army was wiped out and only a few senior generals survived, it would be a timely way to stop the loss for the Dasheng Dynasty, which is better than having all the soldiers die.

"Do not……"

The guard who was in charge of reading the intelligence had a trembling voice: "General Chen fought a desperate battle ten days ago and personally killed Yuwen Jingwen. He then led the Hongze Camp to defeat 50,000 enemy troops. Now he has taken the Manju River and is heading straight for Yinshan."

"What did you say?"

Cao Huan didn't react at first.

He was still recalling the name Yuwen Jingwen in his mind, and then he suddenly remembered, wasn't this Yuwen Jingwen, the barbarian martial saint who ruled the Agate River and was known as the first Baturu of the Yuwen clan?
he died? !

Chen Sanshi...

Killed?!

He killed Yuwen Jingwen.

A person at the Mysterious Realm killed a Martial Saint? !

It's not just Cao Huan.

After hearing the news, everyone present was stunned.

"Is this false information?"

Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "You said that training bones kills training organs, I believe it, you said that transforming strength kills opening meridians, I can accept that, but isn't it a bit too absurd to say that Xuan Xiang kills Wu Sheng?
"If this is really the case, then isn't it a bit too shameful for the Martial Saint?
"Could it be that the barbarians are playing a trick on us?"

"General Zhao, you are really confused."

Fang Qingyun asked, "Will Hai Dongqing send false information?"

"Your Highness, it's true!"

The guard said excitedly: "Head! Yuwen Jingwen's head has also been sent back, but it couldn't pass through the barrier and is now outside the barrier."

"it is true?"

"Just like the portrait, it's probably real!"

"..."

The big tent fell into silence again.

"Map!"

"quick!"

"Get the map!"

Cao Huan shouted.

He pointed to the location of the Agate River on the map and said, "That is to say, from where they are now, it will take about twenty days to reach the vicinity of Yinshan Mountain. After twenty days, how many troops can the barbarians mobilize here?"

"Counting the original defenders, plus the pursuers behind."

Cheng Wei gave the answer: "About 100,000, there are four Martial Saints, plus the top leaders of the Wushen Cult, and the Immortal Master is unknown."

Hear this.

Cao Huan, who had just gotten excited, felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head.

Ultimately, this is something that is impossible to do.

He estimated.

Even if Chen Sanshi really killed Yuwen Jingwen, he would not be able to face so many martial saints and monsters in the future.

But we can get to this point.

It's worth to admire!

"General Chen, you are truly a brave general and a loyal minister."

Cao Huan looked down at the marching route of Hongze Camp from Tiger Hill all the way north, as if he saw them moving forward in the storm with his own eyes and felt their determination personally.

Even if it ends up being an ant trying to shake a tree, it is still a respectable ant.

"General Fang, you are right."

He let out a long sigh: "No matter what the outcome is, with General Chen's Hongze Camp, there is still hope."

……

Luotian Mountains.

Defensive barrier.

Master Deng looked up, and seeing the blood mist getting closer and closer to the ground, he began to feel a little panicked.

He gritted his teeth and threatened: "You are already on the verge of death, why don't you get enlightenment? In thirty days at most, the blood sacrifice formation will be completely put down. By then, no matter how high your realm is, you will be transformed into nutrients for the revival of the evil veins!"

Blood sacrifice formation.

If there are no interruptions, it should be completed within twenty days.

The center of the main array was destroyed, and the speed was slowed down by unknown times.

But even so, it will be accomplished soon.

"You fart!"

Wen Zhi cursed, "We are outside, and we still have tens of thousands of soldiers! You will definitely fail!"

"madness!"

Immortal Master Deng sneered, "Are you referring to the mortal named Chen Sanshi who led a mere 10,000 people to die? Or is it that there was a Transcendent Warrior named Lu who went to Youzhou?

"it's useless.

"How slow the mortal army is? It's too late.

"Sun Xiangzong!

"I'll give you one last chance. Why don't you continue to work for the Mortal Emperor here? Why don't you take your family and leave with us? Then I can use the blood pill to extend your life for a few more years, so you can enjoy your old age. Isn't that good?!"

in front of them.

The old man just sat cross-legged and recuperated, ignoring all the attention.

"Don't waste your efforts!"

Shao Yujing cursed: "I've already told you, if you die, you will die with us!"

"You are certain to die, but I may not..."

"Om-"

The words have not yet fallen.

The sound transmission note in Master Deng's arms responded. He listened to the words that came into his ears, and a hint of surprise flashed across his pupils, but it was soon covered by contempt.

The mortal named Chen.

He actually killed a warrior at the peak of the Transcendent Realm by himself.

"Iled!"

He looked at the leader of the Wushen Cult beside him and said, "Did you hear everything? Your people are not so useless that they can't even stop a person in the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm, right?"

"Don't worry, Immortal Master!"

The leader of the Wushen Cult said confidently: "By the time he gets there, the army will have already completed the encirclement, and the martial saints of each tribe will also be there, plus the high priest of our Wushen Cult. Even if he has supernatural powers, he won't be able to get close to Wolf Mountain!"

"It better be so!"

Immortal Master Deng said in a sinister voice: "If the evil vein cannot be revived, it will not only affect my ancient demon clan, but you mortals of the heavenly clan will be trapped in the desert forever."

"I know!"

The Wushen Cult leader made assurances again and again.

……

While talking.

Several Jinyiwei with excellent martial arts skills came.

"His Majesty!"

"good news!"

"..."

Inside the big tent.

Emperor Longqing sat on a cushion, and the Longyuan Sword seemed to sense the blood sacrifice formation and kept humming.

He slowly opened his eyes, and instead of answering, he said calmly, "Read it."

"Your Majesty, this..."

Because of his excitement, Eunuch Hou read the contents intermittently.

"He really let him cross the Agate River."

Emperor Longqing narrowed his eyes and said, "Xuan Xiang killed a Martial Saint. This is the first time in the world."

He did not comment much on this, but asked, "Where is Lu Ji?"

"We are attacking Licheng Prefecture. There will be results within ten days!"

……

Youzhou.

Lifu city.

Under the dark clouds.

With the help of catapults, huge rocks fell from the sky, countless barbarian soldiers were turned into meat paste, and huge gaps appeared one after another in the solid city walls. Fires broke out everywhere in the city, and it was in chaos. There were corpses and smoke everywhere, which was like a scene of purgatory on earth.

The Northern Liang army's siege lasted for several days.

Fortunately, there are new developments every day, so we are not completely trapped outside the city.

Inside the Chinese army's tent.

Covered in blood, Lu Ji raised his head, looked at Fan Hailing who rushed in, and asked, "What's the situation?"

Fan Hailing replied, "Before Mr. Xu evacuated, he secretly left a hole in the north wall. It was vulnerable to attack. After a few rounds of catapults, half of it collapsed. The barbarians couldn't repair it even if they wanted to!"

"Well done, Mr. Xu!"

Lu Ji praised it, and then picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji:

"General Pei!"

"General Fan!"

"Follow me, go first!"

"..."

"kill--"

"Kill--"

"..."

The Beiliang cavalry, like a black tide, rushed towards the city like crazy. At the front were three main generals. One was as tall as a mountain, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, one was dragging a broadsword with a smile on his face, and one was not riding a horse, holding a Mo Dao in his hand, and he could leap dozens of feet.

"General!"

"Lü Ji and the others are coming!"

"Get on top of me!"

"..."

"boom--"

There are two barbarian martial saints left in the city.

Fight with it.

The true energy was surging, and hundreds of soldiers were killed in the aftermath alone.

The city wall was already in ruins.

After a while, it finally collapsed.

Pei Tiannan and Fan Hailing teamed up to suppress one person.

Lu Ji was fighting alone against a barbarian martial saint from the Murong clan who was holding two swords.

Every strike of the Fang Tian Hua Ji was like the power of a dragon or an elephant. It was so powerful that the double-sword martial saint could not raise his head and was defeated. The knuckles of his hands holding the swords were covered with blood and he might lose his weapon at any time.

After ten rounds.

Both sides distanced themselves.

Lu Ji ran forward wildly, and suddenly inserted his Fang Tian Hua Ji into the ground. He turned over like a dragon or elephant, leaped into the air, pulled out his Fang Tian Hua Ji, and then smashed it down from a height of dozens of feet.

"Rumble--"

This time.

Finally, Murong Wusheng could no longer hold on, and could no longer hold the two swords. His body floated backwards like a kite with a broken string, killing dozens of soldiers in succession and smashing the chevaux de frise before falling heavily. Blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth like a spring.

Both are martial saints.

But this person couldn't last more than ten rounds in front of Lu Ji!

Saw this scene.

All the barbarian soldiers fell into great panic.

Lu Ji attacked again, and was about to use his domineering true energy to take Murong Wusheng's life directly.

Just now.

A red light suddenly shot out from the sky.

"Ok?"

Lu Ji immediately changed direction, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji and the red light collided.

In an instant.

The terrifying force was transmitted to his body through the weapon, and he could not help but retreat backwards. His legs dug into the stone road, leaving two grooves more than ten feet long.

Look up again.

That red light was actually a flying sword with a bloody aura.

There was also an "immortal" wearing a black robe, with black veins on his cheeks and bloodshot eyes floating in the air. He just calmly hooked his fingers, and the flying sword automatically returned to his front.

"This……"

"Is this the demon that the barbarians invited from another world?!"

"..."

See this.

The Northern Liang army was a little stunned.

"Demon, die!"

Only Lu Ji was not afraid at all. He pulled out the Fang Tian Hua Ji that was inserted into the ground and walked directly on the wall. When he reached a sufficient height, he kicked hard and broke half of the wall into pieces and reached high into the sky. With his arms tightly grasping the Fang Tian Hua Ji, under the surging true energy, he transformed into a giant dragon-elephant beast with tremendous momentum.

"You are just a Transcendent Realm warrior. I want to see how capable you are."

The ancient demon cultivator floating in the air was not in a hurry. He just waved his sword and the blood-colored flying sword collided with the dragon-elephant beast. A wave of air burst out, which seemed to distort the void.

After a few breaths.

The blood-colored flying sword successfully penetrated the dragon-elephant beast. Lu Ji fell like a meteor, smashing into the midst of thousands of troops, leaving a huge dent more than half a person's height on the ground. He knelt on one knee on the ground and was about to get up.

In the earth, the magic power fluctuates.

One after another, blood-red vines grew out, like chains, and instantly wrapped around his legs and arms, making him unable to move.

And that blood-colored flying sword was sent out again at some point and had already arrived in front of him.

"Boss!"

Nie Yuan exclaimed.

But he was too far away from them, and was entangled with two generals by his side, so he had no time to catch up.

"boom--"

Between the lightning and flint.

Suddenly, bursts of purple air burst out from Lu Ji's body. The purple air was like a raging fire, melting the vines that restricted his movements, and then enveloped his entire body, making his hair stand on end with anger!

Look from a distance.

It was as if a purple flame was burning on the surface of his body.

Even the dragon-elephant beast transformed by the true energy on the Fang Tian Huaji was no longer an invisible object, but emitted a rich purple aura. It slapped the flying sword directly, causing it to lose control. After flipping irregularly for several weeks, it finally returned to its owner's hand.

"Incense Shinto?!"

The ancient demon monk showed surprise on his face: "You also practice the way of incense and fire? Haha, that's right. The way of incense and fire is probably the only way to practice in this spiritually barren place. But unfortunately, you are still too weak! Hmm?"

He was about to go all out.

The sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air came from behind.

The ancient demon monk hurriedly took up his sword to block.

Sneak attacker.

They are Fan Hailing and Pei Tiannan.

The tremendous power of two martial saints.

The ancient demon monk couldn't resist and his body lost center and fell toward the ground. He hurriedly made hand gestures and chanted spells, and a pair of wings transformed from evil spirit spread out behind him, and he forcibly regained control of his body.

But at the same time.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji had been waiting for a long time.

The three Martial Saints cooperated with each other to attack the cultivator from the ancient demon clan.

"You warriors are so despicable! I won't play with you anymore!"

The ancient demon monk was soon unable to hold on.

He cast a spell to release a poisonous fog, forcing the three Martial Saints to retreat. Then he grabbed the injured Murong Martial Saint and flew into the air on his sword. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared at the edge of the sky, leaving only one sentence echoing in his ears.

"If this is all you three are capable of, then don't even think about getting through Zhutuo Pass. Just wait patiently for our cultivators to descend on Dongsheng Shenzhou and refine you into tonics!"

"These monsters can fly, there's really nothing we can do!"

Fan Hailing cursed.

Pei Tiannan and Lu Ji once again charged into the enemy camp.

One general of the city defenders died and one fled, and the barbarians were quickly defeated and collapsed. The Northern Liang Army successfully recaptured Lifu City.

"General Lu."

Fan Hailing said: "In this battle, our army killed 10,000 enemy soldiers and captured 10,000. Another 30,000 people knew they couldn't hold the position last night, so they fled ahead of time. I guess they also went to Zhutuo Pass."

"Let's clean up the battlefield first."

Lu Ji gave the order and paused, "By the way, is there any news from the Agate River? Is there any accident with my junior brother?"

"General!"

"The intelligence on the Agate River was delivered just before we started the war!"

"General Chen broke through the Agate River, killed Yuwen Jingwen, and then headed straight for the Yinshan Mountains."

"and many more."

Lü Ji interrupted, "What did you say? Who did General Chen kill? Yuwen Jingwen?"

"Is the news guaranteed to be true?"

Fan Hailing was dumbfounded: "If I remember correctly, there were 50,000 enemy troops in Manju River, and Yuwen Jingwen was a fierce general of the Yuwen clan, and General Chen was only at the Xuanxiang realm for the time being. He...he killed Yuwen Jingwen?!"

"What's the detailed process?"

Pei Tiannan asked.

"do not know."

The subordinate replied: "But it is indeed true." "Hiss..."

Fan Hailing and the others all gasped.

In this world.

There is actually a mysterious image that kills a martial saint? !
Then, wouldn't all these years of training for these martial saints be in vain? !

"Boss."

Nie Yuan said with emotion: "Our little junior brother is really too evil. He was just a little Hua Jin more than two years ago, but now... Hey, do you think he can fight with you?"

Hear the words.

A solemn look flashed across Lu Ji's eyes.

"But General Chen's situation is still not optimistic."

Fan Hailing pointed at the map and said, "With such a big commotion in the Agate River, most of the barbarians will definitely get the news as quickly as possible and prepare in advance. Once he arrives, it will be a real problem."

"It seems……"

Pei Tiannan said: "General Chen has done his best, but in the end, he still has to rely on us."

"Now, most of the troops are concentrated in Zhutuo Pass. We are not afraid of the number of people, but mainly..."

Nie Yuan sighed, "Today, there are at least four demons in Zhutuo Pass. Together with the Barbarians' Martial Saint, it is almost impossible for us to break through the defense line. Seeing that the blood sacrifice formation is becoming more and more mature day by day, what should we do?"

"Mr. Xu."

Pei Tiannan cast his eyes on the old scholar: "Do you have any clever ideas for the next battle?"

"Zhutuo Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there is only one way to go."

Xu Wencai shook his head gently: "I am helpless too."

"We can't delay any longer. No matter how difficult it is, we have to fight. There is no time for us to hesitate."

Lu Ji quickly made the final decision. He placed his palm heavily on a wide plain. "Right here, we will fight the barbarian army to the death. Even if our entire army is annihilated, we must take down Zhutuo Pass and destroy the core of the formation!"

"Actually, there is another question."

Xu Wencai stood up and pointed in the direction of Liangzhou City with his feather fan.

In their field of vision, most of the world turned red, and from afar, it seemed that there was only a narrow gap left for people to survive.

He said: "Even if we can win and open a lifeline at the edge, I'm afraid we only have a few days left to retreat. How many people can leave? In a sense, we..."

In fact, we have already lost.

"At least, His Majesty can leave, Master and the others can leave, and for the rest, we can only save one at a time."

Lu Ji said in a deep voice: "General Fan, General Pei, you and Mr. Xu, after you have replenished your supplies, you should set out tonight. General Nie and I will follow soon."

"it is good."

Fan Hailing agreed: "There are still 10,000 prisoners in the city. How should we deal with them?"

"Don't worry about it, just leave as soon as possible."

Lu Ji urged.

That night.

The Northern Liang army hurriedly left Licheng Prefecture and rushed to Zhutuo Pass.

Inside the city.

The Xuanwu Camp and the Baihu Camp are the rear guard.

"Big brother."

Nie Yuan followed beside him: "If there are really three or four monsters ahead with the same strength as today, I'm afraid our battle will be very dangerous. Senior Brother, where are you going?"

He watched Lu Ji leave the city.

Outside the city.

It is the military formation of the Xuanwu Camp.

In the army formation, there were separated barbarian soldiers and captives.

"Brother, you are right."

Lu Ji came to the high platform and looked down at the army in front of him: "With our current strength, we are not enough to compete with the monsters, so I have to improve my strength as soon as possible."

"Big Brother, what you mean is..."

Nie Yuan was confused.

"My incense god is about to break through."

Lu Ji's eyes were deep: "As long as we speed it up, it will be useful in the final battle."

Hear the words.

Nie Yuan suddenly recalled something: "You want..."

"Ah."

Lu Ji said calmly: "Only the massive sacrifices of the Evil God Way can help me break through in a short period of time."

"Brother, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Nie Yuan said: "The Evil God Way is a crooked and evil way after all."

"Whether it is a crooked way or not depends on how it is used."

Lu Ji narrowed his eyes and said, "Besides, these are barbarians. Have you forgotten that they want to refine us in this war? In addition, given the current situation, how can they send troops to guard the prisoners? It would save a lot of trouble if we can solve the problem here."

"These barbarians really don't deserve sympathy."

Nie Yuan agreed with the view, but still had some concerns: "What happens next? Last time when you came back from Ziwei Mountain, I also read the cultivation method of the Incense and Fire Sect that His Majesty gave you.

"In theory, you can return to the true path of God at any time.

"But it is said that the evil way can bewitch people's hearts. Once..."

"Do not worry."

Lu Ji said firmly: "This is the only time. After the breakthrough, I will return to the right path of God."

"it is good!"

Nie Yuan agreed: "This is the only solution for now."

Lu Ji took out a parchment scroll from his bosom and handed it over: "Build the altar according to the record above, and try to complete the sacrifice within three days. Then I will retreat for ten days, which is enough time for a breakthrough."

……

Daqing.

royal palace.

"Sister, you've been reviewing memorials for a whole day and night. Don't you want to take a break and eat something?"

The Queen of Daqing looked at the eldest princess sitting in front of the table, feeling helpless.

"Need not."

Gu Xinlan held the red brush in her slender hands and handled the matter in an orderly manner: "Didn't you ask me to learn these things? Isn't it okay for me to listen to you? Look and see where I made mistakes."

"Okay, I'll go."

The empress closed her eyes and said coldly: "I promise you, I will go to Langjuxu Mountain to take a look, but I don't care about anything else. The most I can do is to save his life."

"Okay."

Gu Xinlan then put down the red brush, stood up and held the empress's hand: "Sister, you can't do this. No matter how much you practice, you can't ignore your relatives. He is your brother-in-law, and I see that you like Duhe very much, don't you?"

"It's just for my sister's sake."

The empress said expressionlessly: "I will go.

"You can leave the affairs of state to those old ministers first. There are also several female dead servants hiding in the palace to protect you. If you really have trouble, just crush this talisman and I will come back."

"Okay, I remember everything."

Gu Xinlan pulled the empress to the back door of the palace: "Go quickly."

"What's the meaning of love?"

The empress shook her head slightly, raised her hand and changed her clothes. A flying sword appeared and turned into a stream of light and flew away.

She looked at the red light in the direction of Beiliang.

“I’m afraid no one will be spared.”

"I also need to find an opportunity to take my sister and the others away from this troubled place."

……

The wolf lives in Xu Mountain.

The formation operates day after day.

The weather is getting colder and colder, to the point where your eyes will freeze.

In the snow.

There was a raging fire inside the big tent.

Four barbarian khans gathered around the campfire to keep warm, while arguing about the subsequent division of territory.

"After the evil vein is revived."

"In less than two years, the Ancient Demon Immortal Master will be able to control the entire Dongsheng Continent!"

"By then, Sheng Dynasty will belong to my Tuoba clan."

"Ridiculous! My Yuwen clan contributed the most in this battle, so it should belong to me, and it's good enough for me to give Dongqing to you."

"Xiqi belongs to my Duan family."

"In this case, I, Murong, can only accept Nan Xu reluctantly."

"We don't have to stick to this."

"Dongsheng Shenzhou is vast and rich in resources."

"After we take over the four kingdoms, we can continue to advance. Everything in the world will be ours!"

"Well said!"

"According to the time, there are only a few days left!"

"The old emperor of the Sheng Dynasty is also in there."

"Haha, the most important thing is Sun Xiangzong. That old immortal is also trapped in the city. In his lifetime, he has killed countless people of my Celestial Clan. Now that he has turned into blood, he deserves it."

"Where is his apprentice?"

"Yuwen Jingwen, did you press the man surnamed Chen to death in the Agate River?"

"..."

"Report!"

"Something bad happened!"

"My Lords, something terrible is happening!"

A barbarian came in with intelligence and repeated the story of Manju River. Finally, he added: "Now, Chen Sanshi has led his people and is heading straight for Langjuxu Mountain!"

After a brief silence.

Tuoba Khan slammed the table and stood up, pointing at the white-haired Yuwen Khan: "Yuwen Jinglian, isn't your fourth brother known as the strongest man in your Yuwen clan? The strongest man, with 50,000 troops under his command, died at the hands of Xuan Xiang?"

"Fourth brother, my son..."

Yuwen Jinglian was immersed in the bad news.

It took him a long time to react, and he refuted with gritted teeth: "Tuoba Hongxin, without knowing the whole situation, what right do you have to insult my fourth brother? Who knows, what trump card does that Chen have in his hand?!"

"If I remember correctly, your little son was captured alive for the second time, right? And by the same person!"

Tuoba Hongxin sneered: "I think your Yuwen clan is not far from being destroyed!"

"you……"

Yuwen Jinglian stood up and was about to say something when he was interrupted.

"You two, please stop arguing."

Khan Duan advised: "The most urgent thing is to make good arrangements and prevent him from really coming to the mountain. If something goes wrong with the formation, all the efforts I have made for so many years will be ruined!"

"Yeah, if you two quarrel over a mere junior, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

Khan Murong pointed at the map and said, "Chen Sanshi is currently at this position. There are still a few tribes ahead. Even if we can't stop him, it will be enough for us to deploy heavy troops at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain in advance. In the final analysis, it is just a mysterious phenomenon."

"Just count it as if he has broken through to become a Martial Saint!"

Khan Duan said: "There are only 15,000 people, plus several martial saints and high priests. If he dares to come, he can stay here forever."

"You're right."

"This man is best at using conspiracies and tricks. We should not act rashly. Let's set up the formation here and wait for him!"

……

Snowy desert.

The Hongze Camp marched hard in the ice and snow.

The further you go, the lower the temperature becomes.

Even the soldiers who trained and practiced martial arts every day suffered from frostbite and had to stop frequently to make fires to keep warm.

"I'll give this horse to you, Senior Brother."

As Chen Sanshi spoke, he handed the reins of the Black Wind Horse to the other party.

"Okay."

Wang Zhi couldn't let it go, tried riding it on the spot, and exclaimed: "This horse is a treasure. Is it from that old man Yuwen Jingwen? I guess there are only a few of them on the grassland."

He looked down at the horse and remembered that the person sitting on it not long ago was a martial saint.

This junior brother.

It's really exaggerated.

He was in fear in the camp at the time, and soon after, he learned that Yuwen Jingwen had died...

"grown ups!"

Zhao Kang rode over to report: "There is a camp of the Yuwen tribe ahead, but the troops are not many, only about 2,000 people, and the general in charge is not even at the Martial Saint level."

"Sir, what should we do?"

After the battle of Agate River, Chu Shixiong no longer had any doubts in his heart and completely integrated into the Hongze Camp: "There is no Martial Saint in front of us, and there are not many soldiers. How about letting me lead the charge and charge in directly?"

"Go back."

Chen Sanshi rejected the proposal. He waved his hand, signaling the Ninth Prince who was not far away to come over.

The Ninth Prince Yuwen Xin is not at the Hua Jin realm, so there is no need for special guarding methods such as black iron chains that penetrate the acupoints. He just needs to put down his weapons and let Xu Bin and others watch him.

Moreover, Yuwen Xin was very honest and would not lose track even for a moment while riding on horseback.

"Chen Sanshi, you...what did you ask me to come over for?"

He swallowed and said vigilantly: "I am a prince, you can't kill me!"

"I won't kill you."

Chen Sanshi threw a piece of dried meat over and said, "Do you know the commander of the camp ahead?"

"Natural recognition!"

The ninth prince said: "The commander is called 'Xi Ri Gou Li Ge', and he is a subordinate of my fourth uncle."

"That's right, no need to waste time."

Chen Sanshi ordered: "Go and open the gate of the stronghold and ask them to surrender. We will leave after we have eaten and drunk our fill."

There are not many troops at the front.

But if we can reduce casualties, we should naturally do so.

The Ninth Prince Yuwen Xin asked tentatively: "I'll go knock on the door, will you let me go?"

"You still have to show the way."

Chen Sanshi said, "It's so white here. If you're not a local, you really can't recognize the road. But don't worry, as long as you do what I say, I promise I won't kill you."

He brought several barbarian soldiers with him, asking for directions separately and then gathering again to prevent anyone from playing tricks.

In today's situation, time is of the utmost importance.

soon.

Under Xu Bin's "protection", Yuwen Xin rode a horse to the front of the big camp.

Inside the Dazhai.

The sentry immediately drew his bow and said, "Stop!"

"Don't shoot, it's me! I'm Yuwen Xin!"

In the snow, the Ninth Prince shouted, "Go, call Xi Rigoulige out to me!"

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince?!"

Xirigolige looked at the prince dressed in mink, which was within his expectations. He had received the news of the great defeat at the Agate River not long ago, and did not expect that he would come so soon.

Inside the village.

There are only five thousand people.

He knew he couldn't defend it, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness! Don't worry, I will go out and fight them to the death, and do everything I can to protect you!"

"Open the gate!"

In the strong wind, the Ninth Prince said, "As long as you surrender your weapons, we will not kill you! After the Hongze Camp has eaten and drunk enough, they will leave!"

"Your Highness? What did you say?!"

Xi Rigoulige suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"You only have 5,000 people, and you can't defend the city. Why are you sending yourself to die in vain?"

Yuwen Xin said as a matter of course: "Let them go to Dadu to die!"

"..."

Xi Rigoulige was speechless.

After their prince said such words, the soldiers in the camp no longer had any will to fight.

If we insist on taking action at this time, it will be a real massacre.

Xi Rigoulige had no choice but to do as he was told.

The Hongze Camp was able to rest and keep warm in a large village filled with bonfires.

Chen Sanshi continued to practice.

[Kung Fu: Dragon Spear, Martial Saint]

【Progress: 60/100】

The previous battle with the Martial Saint Yuwen Jingwen was also quite helpful for his cultivation insights.

According to normal calculation, he would be able to break through to the Martial Saint level within two months.

But there was clearly no time.

The next day is dawn.

The Hongze Camp continued its march.

Chen Sanshi came to the uninhabited land with Qianxun.

Open the furnace and make alchemy!

Refined the Zhenwu Pill.

He was 100% sure that he would break through to the Martial Saint realm before reaching Yinshan Mountain.

"boom--"

A red fire dragon appeared.

The area within a radius of several feet became warm like spring, and the ice and snow on the ground melted quickly.

Chen Sanshi began to add rare treasures into it in order.

After a specific time, he placed his hands on both sides of the alchemy furnace, injected magic power into it, carefully catalyzing the medicinal materials inside, and at the same time tried his best to use his "spiritual consciousness" to perceive and control the changes inside.

"boom--"

The alchemy furnace exploded.

Chen Sanshi woke up in shock.

The second attempt to refine the Zhenwu Pill failed.

He took a deep breath and reignited the fire.

When it was almost finished, the furnace exploded again.

"almost."

Chen Sanshi opened the storage bag.

There are still materials for the last two Zhenwu Pills left.

But he should have an extra one this time.

"boom--"

Red flames and array patterns lit up.

This time.

Chen Sanshi steadily controlled 7749 major changes and 8864 minor changes. Even his so-called "divine consciousness" seemed to be enhanced, and he could see the scene in the alchemy furnace a little more clearly.

"Buzz!"

at last.

Several hours passed again.

The strange fire went out and the array pattern dimmed.

Chen Sanshi opened the alchemy furnace nervously and looked inside.

I saw.

On the bottom of the furnace, a dark green pill lay quietly, with a faint glow flowing on its surface.

Zhenwu Pill.

become!
[Skill: Alchemy (Level 1)]

【Progress: 0/500】

[Effect: The pill is effective as soon as it is completed]

[The elixir is of the highest quality as soon as it is refined]: There will be no inferior or good quality elixirs. As long as they are successfully refined, they are of the best quality.

After getting this entry.

Chen Sanshi basically doesn't need to worry about waste in the future. If he can control the changes, he can refine multiple pills in one furnace and ensure that there will be no inferior products.

That's it.

He gently took out the pill and slowly put it into his mouth.

The elixir from the immortal world does not need to be chewed.

After entering the mouth, it will automatically turn into a stream of light that goes down the throat to the abdomen, and then you can clearly feel that strands of coolness begin to spread, and within two breaths it will spread to the limbs and bones, especially to the meridians, which has great benefits.

When you breathe again.

Chen Sanshi seemed to be able to feel the changes in the eight extraordinary meridians. The energetic qi generated by it became extremely pure, as if it would undergo a qualitative change at any time.

He quickly put away everything, took out his spear, and began to practice his spear skills on the spot.

I have been practicing martial arts for more than three years.

He is finally going to break through to the realm of Martial Saint!
