Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 993 Reed Marsh

Before the Xu family rushed to Beiliang, the princess went to the palace alone, facing dozens of first-class masters while pregnant.

As a result of the battle, the princess was seriously injured and suffered an incurable illness. She first gave birth to Xu Fengnian and then to the twin brothers Xu Longxiang and Xu Tianjiao, and then died young.

Back then, more than a dozen first-class masters besieged the Princess of Beiliang, half of them were from the inner court and half from the underworld.

No one would believe that there was no conspiracy behind all this by the old emperor of the Liyang Dynasty.

Xu Xiao and the princess were already pregnant with two daughters, but they let it go just because they wanted to touch upon the foundation of the Liyang Dynasty.

But if Xu Xiao had a son, the situation would be very different.

According to Xu Xiao's prestige in the army, these thirty Beiliang cavalrymen will certainly be loyal to the prince.

This was something that the royal family, who had long regarded the 300,000 cavalry as their own, would not allow.

That's why he carried out such a despicable plan, intending to kill the Princess of Beiliang and make Xu Xiao extinct so that he could take over the Beiliang army in the future.

Most of the hermits and masters who participated in this matter had their families destroyed when the Xu family rode on horseback, or they were ancestors who were supported and worshipped by the ten major families and wanted to avenge their country and family feuds.

There is no better way to relieve hatred than to deal a fatal blow to Xu Xiao when he is at the peak of his power.

But they all didn't expect that for the pregnant princess, the sword crown from the Wu family's sword tomb would actually be transformed from a worldly sword into an out-of-this-world sword that night.

When a warrior's realm exceeds the celestial phenomena and he becomes a land-based swordsman, he can no longer be judged by common sense.

In the long run, that battle was a lose-lose situation with no winner.

The Northern Liang cavalry, which had been loyal to the dynasty, now had an irreparable rift with the imperial court.

If Xu Xiao hadn't been thinking about the people of the world who had just enjoyed peace, he would not have been willing to start a war for his own personal vengeance.

I'm afraid that the 300,000 most elite cavalry of Beiliang have already headed south and are heading straight for Tai'an City.

The Li Yang Dynasty suffered heavy casualties because they did not expect that the princess had entered the land of sword immortals.

Among the dozen or so masters, one third died suddenly one after another, and none died of old age.

The rest are also recorded in the Xu family's roster, waiting for the opportunity.

This time, Xu Fengnian went to Jiangnan and Xu Xiao went to Tai'an. It was an opportunity for all forces.

As long as this prince is killed, even if Xu Xiao wins the hereditary throne by going to the capital this time, he will be powerless to save the situation.

Xiangfan will be the key point in Xu Fengnian’s trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhao Heng, the Prince of Jing'an who guarded this place, was also a popular candidate for the throne at that time.

After his failure in the fight for the throne, he was granted the title of King of Jing'an and Xiangfan became his foreign territory.

Over the years, he has been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, pretending to be harmless.

In fact, this prince has always been waiting for an opportunity.

Waiting for the opportunity to return to that city.

And this opportunity is today.

In a reed marsh thirty miles outside Xiangfan City, three people gathered here from different directions.

In the center, a man dressed as a wealthy young man sat on the "Tianbo Kaijing" archway in the reed marsh, with four talisman generals in red armor under his feet.

It was he who had sent Shui Jia to conduct the test before.

This man's name is "Zhao Kai" and he is from Tai'an City. He is the illegitimate son of the current emperor and a woman from Jiangnan.

He lived alone with his mother in his childhood and suffered from contempt, but he never complained. He lost his mother at the age of nine. After digging a grave and burying his mother who could not rest in peace, Han Diao Si came to the grave and brought him into the palace. At the age of twelve, he secretly climbed up to Wuying Palace to watch the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He was caught and almost sentenced to death. Master Han Diao Si knelt down and pleaded with the emperor to save him. He studied at Shangyin Academy and played chess with Xu Weixiong, winning 5 and losing 5. He was rated by Huang Sanjia as "carrying the luck of the Zhao family, and the luck in the world is second only to Jiang Ni."

As the leader of the siege of Xu Fengnian,
On the east side, there was a middle-aged man with an unprepossessing appearance like a farmer, with a bundle of golden soft swords wrapped around his waist.

His name is Wang Mingyin, and he was once ranked the eleventh best martial artist in the world.

(Because of the appearance of Yi Ye Shu and others, he fell out of the list of the top ten masters in the world.)
There is another identity, that is, the former Xiangfan defender, Wang Yangming's brother. In the tragic battle of Xiangfan, 200,000 people made one man famous. How is he different from the hostile butcher?
When he heard of this tragic ending, he was in Beimang at the time. He did not rush to Beiliang to seek revenge. He just said that the Xu family was not allowed to enter Xiangfan again.

Originally, he didn't want to get involved in the feud between the two vassal kings, but King Jing'an Zhao Heng asked him to take action with the box containing Wang Mingyang's eyeballs.

Xu Fengnian entered Xiangfan again, and naturally he had to fulfill his promise.

The man in the southwest, dressed in a green shirt, was none other than Wu Liuding, the contemporary Sword Master of the Sword Tomb, who had clashed with Xu Fengnian and his party on the river before.

Behind him, the sword attendant Cuihua appeared, walking with eyes closed. Wu Su, who carried the second most famous sword in the world, outclassed the 160,000 swords buried in the sword tomb throughout the ages.

As the target of these people, Xu Fengnian had already received the intelligence and was fully prepared.

He brought a group of people to this reed marsh and met Princess Jing'an Pei Nanwei, who had asked him to meet there.

I received the handwritten letter from Prince Jing'an from Princess Pei.

After reading it, Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "I will send you a thousand miles away. It seems that this uncle Jing'an wants me to die."

Pei Nanwei laughed and said, "Your Highness is so scheming. For so many years, he has really been pretending to be stupid in front of stupid people. If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

"Please rest assured, Princess. Before I die, I will definitely take you with me." The unruly Xu Fengnian teased Princess Pei again.

At this time, Wu Liuding arrived first with his sword servant Cuihua.

A war between the two sides is about to break out.

Wu Liuding alone entangled Li Chungang, the strongest fighter among Xu Fengnian's group.

Then, four Fu Jiang and Hong generals rushed out.

Wei Shuyang, who was on high alert, set up a battle formation and cooperated with Lu Qiantang, Shu Xiu and Yang Qingfeng to surround and kill the two talisman generals Hongjia, Wood and Fire.

Wang Mingyin appeared last and appeared in front of Xu Fengnian, who had no other masters by his side. Fortunately, Ning Emei led a hundred guards from the Feng Camp to stop him.

But the price was that Wang Mingyin single-handedly repelled two waves of charges from the Feng Camp's light cavalry, causing heavy casualties to the Feng Camp, while he himself was not hurt at all.

She has been Xu Fengnian's maid. Bluebird made her first move. The inherited spear, the spear of the Immortal King, cooperated with Ning Emei

During this period, Tujia, who was lurking underground, wanted to launch a sneak attack, but he didn't expect that Xu Fengnian had received guidance from Li Chungang during this period and his strength was much stronger than before.

Xu Fengnian first used the move that Li Chungang had used to break the water armor that day, "One Sword to Make the Immortal Kneel". He then used the power of the Chunhu Knife to severely damage the earth armor.

He then struck out sixteen times in succession, each of which was the essence of swordsmanship that Xu Fengmian had absorbed during this period.

The earth armor was chopped into pieces.

At the same time as the earth armor was broken, the wooden armor was also broken with the help of the formation by Lu Shuxiu and Yang Qingfeng.

As the earth and wood elements are broken, a series of chain reactions are triggered.

When Wang Mingyin saw that the second group was broken, he realized that the situation could not be delayed any longer.

In order to kill Xu Fengnian, he used all his strength, successively injuring Ning Emei and Qingniao, and then attacked Xu Fengnian who had just dealt with Tujia.

Seeing that Xu Fengnian was in a critical situation, Li Chungang no longer held back and started to beat Wu Liuding and Cuihua.

However, distant water cannot quench the near thirst.

Reed marshes are flammable, enhancing the power of fire armor.

Lu Qingtang and the other two were blocked by the fire armor and were unable to offer assistance.

Suddenly, a black light flashed before the eyes of the three people.

"Squeak~" Before they could react, the fire armor that had been fighting with the three people for a long time was cut in half.

A cold green sword broke through the red armor without losing its force, and stabbed right in front of the former eleventh-ranked master in the world who was about to charge at the Prince of Beiliang.

"Who!?" Wang Mingyin, who was blocked by Qing Feng but determined to win, shouted.
