Chapter 175: Conspiracy for the People, the Last Son

When Lu Youxian saw the Qilin stepping out, the black armor, and the raised halberd, he was dazed for a moment, but the next moment, he immediately raised the sword in his hand, pointed it forward, and said: "Press forward!!!"

"The Qilin is a strange beast that has been sealed away for a long time. And the battle in the palace has depleted its vitality."

"He's not unbeatable."

Just as he guessed, and just as Li Guanyi said when he asked Qilin to fight Xiao Wuliang, Qilin's vitality has been greatly damaged at this moment, and its strength must not be as good as it used to be. However, the last level is right in front of him, and Qilin roars and summons up his remaining courage.

The magic weapon in Li Guanyi's hand burst out with power. In a trance, he really brought into the state of mind of the overlord's last battle. The Qilin roared, and the Qilin fire burned all the rain, ignited it, and turned it into clusters of golden red flames, rising towards the sky.

When the Qilin stepped on the ground, the accumulated water instantly evaporated.

The Qilin Armor emitted flowing light, and all the blockades in front were broken. Arrows fell like rain and were ignited by the Qilin Fire. Then Li Guanyi stopped retreating. The arrows that could pierce the heavy armor of the Jinwu Guards like a hedgehog now hit the Iron Pagoda heavy armor on his body and were directly bounced away.

In the rain, this inky steel-like fortress charged forward.

Arrows could not get close, and those who blocked them were defeated. Rain and arrows were knocked away, forming a visible air wave. The magic soldiers swept across, and all the enemies blocking the front were blown away. Li Guan shouted, "I am a general under General Yue, humph, hiding in the Xue family."

"But that old thief from the Xue family saw through it!"

"I was planning to hold the little princess hostage, but you guys ruined my plan!"

"Now, General Yue has been rescued. I have no interest in Guanyi City. You guys are ruining my plans. Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Li Guanyi separated himself from the Xue family.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, on the one hand because of General Yue's matter, and on the other hand because this person was just planning to leave, so the determination to fight to the death in their hearts immediately weakened several levels, and Lu Youxian's cheek twitched slightly.

"Using words to confuse the people and disperse the army's morale..."

"Is he a subordinate of General Yue, or is he the descendant of Duke Taiping?"

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

He thought to himself, then drew out the knife in his hand, and combined it with a purple-gold phoenix-patterned long stick to form a long-handled sword. Then he rode on a tiger-like beast and rushed towards Li Guanyi: "Then, Marshal Yue's general..."

Lu Youxian said: "Come and fight with me."

It’s just like the attire of Duke Taiping back then, and he can fight with such a person.

The warrior wishes.

The sword and the halberd collided. Even with the help of the Qilin's power, Li Guanyi could hardly hold the halberd. However, the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd burst out with the sharpness and hardness that a divine weapon should have at this moment.

The long-handled black weapon in Lu Youxian's hand was directly cut off.

The blade fell to the ground, making a clanging sound.

So the defenders of Guanyi City all changed color, thinking that their commander's weapons had been cut off. The power of Qilin was constantly being divided, and it no longer cared about its own vitality. Just like it was transmitted to Li Wanli, the Duke of Taiping, it was now transmitted to Li Guanyi.

The young man was covered in armor made of Kirin fire.

A red light rose outside the Iron Pagoda, and the Qilin roared. Li Guanyi and the Qilin moved forward together. The Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd in his hand swept suddenly, and the unique skill of Juantao reappeared. The Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd tore the flowing light, and the energy turned into whirlpools.

The red-gold flames turned into a wave and surged around Li Guanyi.

Finally, the ruins of the mountain temple disappeared with a loud bang. Li Guanyi turned his hand back and swung his halberd with the power of [Destroying Mountains] and with the help of the mighty momentum of the Kirin's charge, he hit Lu Youxian directly. Lu Youxian resisted this move.

But the Qilin's power was too great, and it shook the general's mount to death.

With this push, Lu Youxian had to jump down, and at this moment, Li Guanyi had already rushed out, waving the halberd in his hand continuously, with red-gold Qilin fire surrounding him. At this moment, he who was controlling the power of Qilin had more destructive power than a mere second-level warrior.

Lu Youxian rolled on the ground, and the Qilin fire on his armor could not be extinguished. He finally stopped it by using his inner energy to suppress it. His face was burned black, but he still had a cold fighting spirit and rode his mount again.

"As a general, you should be loyal to your country."

"Obeying military orders is the most important thing, gentlemen!"

Lu Youxian gritted his teeth, his eyes calm: "Surround and kill him!"

"Before I came here, I had already reported to the court that there are already divine generals on the way, riding on flying beasts, rushing to support us at full speed. All we need to do is stop them."

Li Guanyi rode the Qilin and galloped across the battlefield. The Qilin's energy delivery strength was slowly but steadily decreasing. It had been tortured for ten years and had just fought with the fifteenth top general in the world. It had reached its limit. At this moment, like Li Guanyi, it was supported by a fiery fighting spirit.

The halberd was swung, and whoever blocked it was knocked away.

Looking from the sky, it looked like a fierce general was cutting through the army in the city.

The city gate is in front.

The walls of the Death City are extremely thick, and there are soldiers on them, holding air-piercing and armor-piercing arrows directly extracted from the armory, and even giant Mohist mechanical crossbows that are more than ten meters long. They are legendary terrifying war weapons that are capable of hunting exotic beasts.

No matter how strong the city is, it will be smashed to pieces.

Li Guan gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Youxian!"

He finally understood why Mr. Xue and Yue Qianfeng called him Old Turtle.

Lu Youxian simply refused to make mistakes.

Back then, tens of thousands of troops were unable to capture his isolated city.

The commander of the opposing team was so angry that he vomited blood and cursed the old turtle.

At this moment, the archers and crossbowmen led by young generals and captains had already pulled their bowstrings to their full potential. If they leaped into the air and were exposed without the cover of houses, the Mohist giant mechanical crossbow would shoot out and attack them in an instant.

Li Guanyi grasped the halberd.

The Qilin's flames suddenly surged, and the boy's pupils were dyed red-gold. The dark golden visor changed as a result. His left hand broke away from the Qilin's mane, and he held the halberd in both hands and turned in the air.

White tiger, red dragon, black tortoise, blue phoenix, and unicorn.

The five Dharma aspects all converge here.

One move with all your strength.

Be upright, break through the city gate and rush to the world!
Li Guanyi grasped the halberd, and the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd burst out with bursts of excited and joyful roars, which was just like what had moved the Chixiao Sword before. The Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd finally saw the same spirit and aura in this young man as the White Tiger clan of all generations.

Lu Youxian's eyes were red with anger, Qilin's running speed was like lightning.

Every attempt he made to stop it failed.

The fact that the reinforcements had not arrived was totally inconsistent with Lu Youxian's judgment of the imperial generals and the flying beast. Could it be that the force used to assist the four directions was delayed? No, that force would not participate in the grand sacrifice or any celebration at all.

Their loyalty was to the State of Chen rather than to the emperor.

But why not?!

Lu Youxian saw that his blockade was about to be broken. The young man seemed to have been taught the art of war. He did not choose to hide and escape in the city. Instead, he reversed his thinking and rushed directly to the city gate which was obviously a death trap, trying to survive.

why?
Lu Youxian suddenly felt something was wrong. The reinforcements had not arrived. He had heard that the imperial guards were stopped by the people. The people suddenly woke up and spontaneously blocked the road. The news was transmitted faster than normal...

Including the success of Yue Qianfeng, Yan Xuanji and others learned during the contact.

His Majesty, who is always calm and suspicious, never doubted Gu Daohui...

With your majesty's magical power, you were not able to injure Gu Daohui in an instant, and then asked your subordinates to kill him? Instead, you let him live.

All these things kept appearing in Lu Youxian's mind.

Then put them together, each one seemed like a coincidence.

These are naturally possible things that can happen.

However, the probability is not high. If they appear at the same time, it is absolutely impossible, unless...

Someone is behind this.

Plan all this.

Lu Youxian suddenly understood. He held his weapon and said angrily:

"Who is the scholar who dares to plot against the world?!"

"Who is the chess player who dares to put the emperor and generals on the chessboard!!!"

The famous general held his weapon, looked up at the sky, and said angrily:

“Zu Wenyuan!”

He was so angry that his internal energy exploded, and the rain was even dispersed.

Time seemed to stretch, everything and the world were so quiet, smoke from cooking slowly rose up, and was dispersed and disrupted by the rain, Li Guanyi rode a Qilin to charge into the front, his halberd drawing out streaks of black evil spirit; in the east, Yan Xuanji, carrying Yue Pengwu on his back, walked through the mountains and forests, and the mountain army from the State of Chen, which was expected to react quickly, did not appear.

It was as if this group of elite troops just happened to avoid Yan Xuanji when they were patrolling. So Yan Xuanji gritted his teeth and rushed forward, feeling that Yue Pengwu's vitality behind him was becoming more and more stable.

The seriously wounded Yue Qianfeng was discovered by the rest of the Chen army. He took the initiative to attract attention for Yue Pengwu and others. After several hours of siege, he was finally exhausted and fell into the cliff waterfall. The army went down to look for him, but could not find his body, so they were all at a loss.

Luzhou Sword Immortal...

There are many heroes in the world.

This kind of thing keeps happening everywhere.

The State of Chen was a large country with a vast territory. Even if a country like this had become rotten as the Regent said, it still had elite and brave warriors, a large population and various basic systems, and it still had officers and generals who adhered to principles.

It is still a giant, covering tens of thousands of miles and numbering tens of millions of armored soldiers.

If it dies, it can still shock the world. It can take the surrounding Western Regions and Turkic borders with it to die together, and then bite Ying State fiercely.

A mere few people fell in front of this huge force. Even if they were divine generals or masters, they could kill hundreds or thousands of people, but they would still die. The divine generals were powerful, but there was no shortage of good players in such an army. They could surround and kill the enemy with ten warriors of a weaker level, and then have a thousand people as their assistance.

The price paid was terrible, with thousands or even tens of thousands of lives lost.

I can always drag these generals to death.

What's more, he was seriously injured in the battle with Xiao Wuliang. But even in such a situation, the huge Chen State was still running like a malfunctioning machine. There were always completely reasonable coincidences that should not appear at the same time, as if the extremely precise calculations allowed these people to survive.

The post riders galloped on the road, then pulled higher. The roads crisscrossed the ground. Dark clouds pressed down, and the falling rain made the whole world dim. Thus, the crisscrossing roads of the world looked like a chessboard.

Snapped.

A chess piece fell gently.

The rain is quiet.

It fell on the floor of the Taoist temple, so quiet that it seemed to reflect the sky and the sea of clouds. The eyes of the Taoist statue were covered with cloth. The lamps that were lit one by one had used up their oil and then went out quietly, leaving only the last lamp.

The white-haired Zu Wenyuan quietly put away the chessboard.

As the rain fell, someone came over holding an umbrella. Under the umbrella was the young Taoist priest Zhuiyue, whom Li Guanyi was very familiar with. However, at this moment, Zhuiyue's eyes were filled with indifference and desolation. He was Zhuiyue, but he was no longer Zhuiyue.

Zu Wenyuan looked up, not seeming surprised: "Senior, you are here."

"Ah."

Zhuiyue nodded calmly, walked forward, and sat opposite Zu Wenyuan, with a calm demeanor, "It's raining."

Zu Wenyuan said gently: "Yes, when I first met you, I was very young and it was raining heavily like this. I didn't expect that when I saw you again, it would still be raining heavily like this."

"Come with the rain, go with the rain, this is also my path."

"Senior Dao Zong."

Dao Zong, one of the four great martial arts legends, looked at the white-haired old Taoist priest and said, "You have schemed against the world and used unorthodox methods. Your life span has been ignited. I'm afraid today will be the last time we see each other."

Zu Wenyuan said, "Senior, you are here to ask me whether I have solved the problem you gave me in the pavilion when the rain fell that year?"

"Why don't we play one last game of chess?"

Dao Zong replied in a cold voice: "Those who calculate need to be rational and calm so as not to be affected. You made a wrong move."

Zu Wenyuan moved the last lamp over. He was slightly out of breath, and then took out the black and white chess pieces. Dao Zong remained silent, but still took out the chess pieces. Zu Wenyuan also took out the white chess pieces. The two played chess quietly, and the candlelight swayed in the wind and rain.

Finally, Dao Zong picked up the chess piece and asked, "Why did you do this?"

Zu Wenyuan asked, "Why?"

Dao Zong said calmly: "Calculation can only save people... However, to save those people, what you can do is just an external thing, just like pushing open a gap. Whether they can survive is simply a matter of twos, and you can never get your price back."

Zu Wenyuan said: "Do you need a reason to save people?"

He picked up a chess piece, with a look of guilt and apology on his face, and said, "In fact, I still couldn't figure out what my senior taught me back then... I also wanted to learn everything about the arithmetic, but then someone knocked on my door, and I opened it, and saw that the world was completely dark."

“I saw the people in great pain, and I saw bones lying around.”

"They are crying, they are asking for help, they want to live."

The old man picked up the chess piece in his hand, put it down, looked at Dao Zong in front of him, and said softly: "They asked for help, so I want to lend a hand. This world is dark, so I don't want those lights to go out here."

The old man lost this game of chess.

Zu Wenyuan stretched out his hand, picked up an ant crawling on the table and put it on the ground.

"The world is dark, I wish to light a candle."

"Senior, I can't figure out that page of the arithmetic scripture after all, but please take a look at my life..."

The old man smiled. He stretched out his hand and slowly raised the bronze lamp. The last bit of candlelight flickered, and the big sun in the sky was rotating. People always say that the emperor, the son of heaven, is like the sun in the sky.

but!

What about the emperor?

Although it is destiny, isn't it human power?
The old man raised the bronze lamp in his hand, covering the sun. He was obviously an unskilled fortune teller, but when he opened his mouth, he was full of heroic spirit, as if he had swallowed up the sun, and the whole world suddenly became dark.

The army that was tracking Yan Xuanji and Yue Pengwu suddenly lost their sense of direction, so the monk shouted and ran forward. This time, the Buddhist disciples, with Yue Pengwu and the golden-winged Roc, flew to a more distant sky.

Yue Qianfeng was washed into a cave by the waterfall and was seriously injured and unconscious, but he survived and was not discovered by other troops of Dachen.

As Li Guan charged into the formation, the Five Spirits Dharma Image suddenly became blurred. The so-called Dharma Image was just something that all the heroes did, regardless of everything, and tried their best to drain their will and spirit, turning it into a blazing flame that rose up.

The five Dharma images from other heroes suddenly dispersed and surrounded the young man like clouds. He shouted angrily and stabbed out with the spear in his hand. In front of him was an extremely hard city gate made of special materials.

Li Guanyi gave up everything and quickly gathered all his energy and spirit.

Then, a blurry claw stretched out from the clouds surrounding him. It was a dragon claw, but with claws like a phoenix or a falcon, and a palm like a white tiger.

The sound of a low dragon roar resounded, and in the clouds around the young man, scales were moving, but they were as golden as the pupils of the fire and earth unicorn and the white tiger.

It was looming, with dragon horns like a unicorn, as if it was the gathering of the five spirits, the purest dragon. Li Guanyi roared and thrust out his halberd. In the moment when the sky and the earth were dark, he tore the gate of Guanyi City apart.

In just a moment, the Dharmakāya split into five again.

The young man and Qilin finally fought their way out of the army.

My mind suddenly becomes broad.

Towards the world!

Zu Wenyuan held up the bronze candle, and in a trance he saw the darkness ahead.

Then he saw the backs of one person after another. Those who were walking in the front had already passed away. He saw Yue Pengwu, Yue Qianfeng, Li Guanyi, Chen Wenmian, and the backs of young people one by one. They strode forward, trying to tear apart the darkness.

The old man stood on this side of the door, holding a candle, watching them stride into the light. His own candle was about to go out, but these young people would continue to walk forward. One day, the world would be at peace.

But I can't see it anymore.

Suddenly he thought of his youth, when he met Dao Zong in the pavilion. That rainy night trapped him for life, but he did not succeed in solving the mystery of the arithmetic in the end. But, did he regret it? He turned around, as if he could still see his younger self.

My young self said: 'I will calculate everything!'

"I want to become the strongest in the arithmetic, and then defeat you, Senior Dao Zong!"

"Have you reached your goal?"

Then the old man laughed, he laughed loudly.

So the heavy rain of this life finally stopped.

The sun reappeared.

Still so majestic in the sky.

when!
The bronze lamp fell heavily to the ground, the candlelight flickered, and the last light slowly went out.

Dao Zong held the chess piece in his hand, stunned and unable to speak or make a move.

Zu Wenyuan's hands fell to the ground, his head drooped, and the light in his eyes slowly disappeared.

Senior, I will use this life as a chance to create a glimmer of hope for this world.

how?!!
