Chapter 437 Victory! (Seeking monthly ticket)

In an instant, the extremely surging momentum exploded, urging the arrow to fly.

The Cloud-Breaking and Sky-Shocking Bow almost burst out with a power comparable to the arrow shot through the mountain by General Xue five hundred years ago. It was as powerful as a rainbow and shot straight at Jiang Su. Jiang Su originally wanted to use three arrows, one at a time, to crush the prestige of Qin Wuhou in front of thousands of troops.

This man cannot be killed.

Then break its dignity.

If words are useless, then rely on bravery.

Progress step by step.

However, he never expected that Li Guanyi's aura surged in an instant, and his arrows flew like rainbows. Jiang Su's arrow and Li Guanyi's arrow almost flew past each other.

The roar of a tiger erupted in the void.

The arrow pierced Jiang Su's shattered left eye.

With a buzzing sound, the arrow stopped, and was almost an inch away from piercing Jiang Su's eye socket, but it was still caught by the hand of the invincible general on the battlefield. The arrow vibrated violently with a buzzing sound, but still could not move forward even a single step.

But the energy contained in the arrow was like a tearing sword.

The protective gear that bound Jiang Su's left eye shattered under this extremely powerful force, revealing the still clear knife marks and the white eyeball. His left eye was still regenerating, but the poison of Fei had caused his eyeball to crystallize.

No matter how powerful a person's martial arts are.

A fragile part like the eyes is still a weak point.

Looking terrifying, like a devil from hell, Li Guan raised his hand to grab Jiang Su's arrow. His palm was torn by the strong wind and blood was flowing. The Jiuli magic weapons, made of layers of gold and iron, blocked the arrow.

The arrow broke through the divine weapon and pierced into the body, but it could not cause any more damage.
Li Guanyi's blood was surging and he still felt annoyed and coughed up blood, but the bloody smell in his mouth could not stop him from feeling refreshed at the moment.

He pulled out the arrow, his brows raised, his aura sharp, without any influence. Jiang Su knew that it was obviously this young newcomer who lost, but the blazing fire in those eyes hurt his heart immensely.

Such a flame had once appeared in his eyes.

Li Guanyi threw down Jiang Su's arrow and shouted, "Grandmaster, God of War!"

"Didn't you have enough food today?"

"Your arrows aren't sharp enough!"

The head-on shooting, at least on the surface, seemed to be a draw. The generals of the Qilin Army who saw this scene were all excited. Just as the rumors said, their lord really had the potential to compete with this invincible military god.

Li Guanyi looked into Jiang Su's eyes, which were filled with cold murderous intent, and said softly, "You shouldn't have been unable to catch this arrow. You shouldn't have reacted only when it was almost in front of you."

"It seems that even for a martial arts legend, if one eye is constantly corroded by poison, it would not be easy and would be affected, right?"

"God of War, Jiang Su."

Words can attack the heart like a sharp sword.

Jiang Su looked at Li Guanyi.

But it was as if I saw the wolf king who was heroic and unrestrained until his death.

And the sword maniac Murong Longtu, who broke his body with his strongest sword when he broke through the realm several years ago.

He used his five fingers to exert force, and the arrows broke into pieces.

Jiang Su finally uttered this word: "Go!"

On that day, Ying State stopped the invasion of Qin Wuhou, but did not choose to go to war with Qin Wuhou at this time. After a brief confrontation, neither side gained the upper hand. Ying State's Grand Tutor Jiang Su chose to retreat fifty miles to defend.

He returned to the capital with only a small group of soldiers and horses, and wiped out the bandits who took the opportunity to start a rebellion along the way. He had more than ten armies of bandits, and pardoned the civilians who were held hostage. He only beheaded the bandit leaders and hung their heads on the city gates for public display, to deter all directions.

As a result, the situation in Ying State, which had been slightly fluctuating, was once again calmed down by this stabilizing force.

On the battlefield, Li Guanyi watched the Ying State's army go away, exhaled, and the Cloud-Breaking Sky Bow in his hand turned into a stream of light and dispersed. The powerful aura flowed around his body, gradually recovering the place where Jiang Su had shot him.

The wind was blowing hard, and the whale fisherman appeared beside Li Guanyi in an instant.

He suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Li Guanyi's shoulder, and with a burst of energy flowing through him, he sneered, "I was wondering how you could be so powerful that you could fight against Jiang Su. Only a dozen days have passed, and you have already activated the legendary energy of martial arts that Chen Fubi left for you?"

"Did I mention that this state needs to be accumulated for a long time before it can be used?"

"Aren't you afraid that your Qi and blood will be disturbed, and your meridians will flow backwards, shortening your lifespan early?!"

"Just the three arrows I shot just now will shorten my life by at least three years."

Li Guanyi said: "I took Hou Zhongyu's elixir of immortality."

"Hou Zhongyu has already paid the price of my lifespan."

"The account is settled!"

Whale Fisherman: “…………”

For a moment, he wanted to get angry and scold him, "Do you think life span is such a casual thing?" However, because of the elixir of immortality, he did not have the right to scold him as an elder. The whale fisherman felt very aggrieved.

I wish I could bring that Hou Zhongyu out and beat him to death again.

It was rare for Old Siming to see the whale fisherman being humiliated, and he felt very happy. He patted the whale fisherman on the shoulder, winked at Li Guanyi, and almost laughed out loud and said, "Well done."

Circling around Li Guanyi, he exclaimed in amazement, and asked, "Breakthrough?"

Before Li Guanyi could answer, the whale fisherman said unhappily, "Breakthrough, bullshit."

After a pause, he said, "We have the quantity, but not the quality."

The old Sima Ming was puzzled. The whale fisherman raised his hand, and the formation flowed, grabbing a piece of cloud. Then, he used the formation to create a small rain. The rain fell and condensed into ice in front of him.

The whale fisherman said calmly: "Only when you condense to this level can you reach the ninth level."

"At this moment, his Qi is surging and majestic, like a rain cloud, but it is only in quantity that it exceeds the limit of the eighth heaven. If he wants to enter the ninth heaven, he needs a qualitative change and needs to be condensed."

"But it only takes a little time."

"Once you take this step, there won't be many people in this vast world who can be your opponent."

Li Guanyi clenched his five fingers together and sensed the surging aura in the Jiuzhou Cauldron. He seemed to hear the desolate sound of the cauldron coming from the highest peak of Juxu Mountain in the Western Regions and the roar of the Nine Cauldrons in the south of the Yangtze River at the same time.

He vaguely sensed that the fortune in the southwest was soaring.

The whale fisherman was still chatting with General Xue and Old Siming. He frowned slightly and said:

"I told him when I was in Anxi City in the Western Regions that as long as one's spirit is condensed and unified, one can break through the barriers and reach the seventh level of the sky. He can be called a master, but if one wants to be qualified to reach the eighth level of the sky, he will need a lot of help."

"And if you want to reach the realm of a grandmaster, you need to have your own path."

"It's just that every Grandmaster has a different way of breaking through."

"The path he took was different from the rest of us. You asked me how he was going to concentrate and take this crucial last step. I don't know either. I can only ask him."

The old Siming looked at Li Guanyi and was about to ask, but suddenly he realized something and laughed: "Haha, looking at your appearance, I think you already know how to do it. Wonderful, wonderful."

Li Guanyi nodded slightly.

As long as the third Nine Cauldrons is cast and the three Nine Cauldrons are allowed to completely resonate and their qi are connected, one can take this opportunity to condense one's own destiny and stand firmly above the Nine Heavens.

At that time, he relied on the martial arts legend left by the Wolf King.

Even if there is a price to pay, there is finally a possibility of confronting Jiang Su head-on.

Li Guanyi clenched his five fingers together. He had been wandering since he was young and had fought for thousands of miles. Finally, he had the foundation to confront his enemies head-on. He turned around and looked at the people and the Qilin Army in the city. He found that the 40,000 Qilin Army soldiers who had followed him to fight were solemnly waiting for something.

Li Guan smiled and suddenly raised his weapon.

His eyebrows were raised, and at this moment he had the passion of a young man again, and he said loudly:

"we won!!!"

There was a moment of dead silence.

Then the loud shout of the strong wind rose into the sky, never stopping and echoing in all directions.

This means that Li Guanyi's troops have truly gained a foothold here.

Representing this territory, it was tacitly approved by the Ying State and belonged to Qin Wuhou and Jiangnan.

Old Siming smiled slightly in the city where everyone was cheering. In such a chaotic era, he finally saw again the glory of those heroes from three hundred years ago, and once again saw the possibility of reuniting the world.

Those dreams when we were young, those desires and pursuits, those things that were sought but could not be obtained like bubbles...

The old Siming lowered his eyes and said softly, "Wait a little longer."

"I'll come find you."

It was as if the whole world was being stripped away from him. This cynical old man, who laughed, scolded, and was free to do whatever he wanted, suddenly had an inexplicable feeling of desolation and loneliness, as if a gust of wind was about to blow him away.

But at this moment, Old Siming was stroking his beard. His clothes were a little torn and he accidentally pulled out his purse. Old Siming was stunned, watching the purse flying out, and he subconsciously reached out to grab it.

The old black tortoise happened to stretch out its front paw.

Old Siming slipped and fell on the city wall with a plop, and he caught himself with his fingers.

The purse slid out with an elegant gesture and hit the protruding part of the city wall. With a clatter, the hundreds of copper coins scattered like flowers from heaven and landed in the soil.

Old Siming: “…………”

The face is distorted.

“My money!!!!”

General Xue was thoughtful: "Is this true? Will the fortune of gambling be taken away?"

"What if I bet like this?"

"If I can meet my Yaoguang."

"Even if I had endless money to spend, lived in a big yard, and ate delicacies every day, I would still be willing to do that!"

"What will happen?"

"By the way, Baimao, I mean... Fifth Brother, when will you fulfill that promise you made?"

After all the noise, everyone relaxed. Li Guanyi let out a breath and looked at the world in the distance. The wind and clouds were rolling, and all things were growing. Li Guanyi's originally tense spirit gradually relaxed.

From the very beginning, it was impossible to confront the God of War Jiang Su.

With ten times the military strength, regardless of the cost, he forced the God of War to turn around in the face of the general trend.

Now, after paying a certain price, he can barely fight against Jiang Su. Li Guanyi can feel his own changes and improvements, and he has finally come to this point after all his efforts.

Li Guanyi took off the water bag from his waist, drank the water as if it were wine, and toasted to the heaven from afar.

"Your heart and my heart are both as strong as iron."

“Jiang Wanxiang, the alliance between you and me has ended. The blood feud between our parents, the hatred between our family and country, and the great wish of the world.”

"One day, we'll see the outcome on the battlefield."

The vast territory, the heroes of the world, and their lofty ambitions all come to an end here.

………………

Qin Wuhou was in high spirits at the front line. Nangong Wumeng was exhausted from the journey, but she finally relaxed. She changed into women's clothes and stretched in the courtyard of the Murong family. Xiangrui restrained his body and ate the green bamboo, a speciality of Jiangnan.

Chew chew chew.

"The green bamboo in the southwest grows wildly, has a rich flavor and is full of juice. Not bad, not bad."

"But the green bamboos in the south of the Yangtze River are also beautiful and tender, with a sweet aftertaste, which is also great."

The iron-eating beast felt a kind of satisfaction in its animal life.

The Jiuli clan never said that there were such delicious foods in the Central Plains and Jiangnan.

If he had told me earlier, I would have come earlier!

Nangong Wumeng held his chin with one hand and said, "You and Xiao Qilin both like to eat, but why can't you two play together?"

Southwest Xiangrui bared his teeth, broke open the bamboo, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and said angrily:

"Him? He actually has to cook bamboo shoots with fire!"

"And sprinkle chili powder and some kind of cumin from the Western Regions on it."

"Heresy, absolutely heresy!"

“It’s worse than not eating bamboo shoots!”

Xiangrui ate with his teeth bared. Nangong Wumeng smiled and lazily treaded on the water, looking into the distance as if in a dream: "It's been three years since I knew him. Time flies so fast..."

"I don't know whether I won or not."

Nangong Wumeng originally wanted to continue to rush to the front line to provide support, but was stopped. Nangong Wumeng's fifth-level martial arts skills had not changed much in the past few years. She was already outstanding among her peers.

Not everyone is a monster like Li Guanyi, Chen Wenmian, and Li Zhaowen.

Galloping across the battlefield, controlling the murderous spirit of attacking cities and destroying nations, making breakthroughs step by step.

However, if you think about it carefully, those heroes in history who suddenly rose up when the world was in chaos and swept across the sky like meteors should be like them.

When thinking of this, Nangong Wumeng suddenly had a trance feeling that he was now in history. He raised his hand to pick up the black hair at his temples and said, "So, how will I be recorded in the books of future generations?"

"do not care."

Seeing that no one was coming, she clasped her hands together, lowered her forehead, and said softly:
"May the gods bless him to return victoriously."

"If he comes back, I will give him all the wealth he has. If he really doesn't have any, I will give it to him." Nangong Wumeng's black hair flew down at the temples as he prayed quietly. It might not be of any use, he just hoped that his heart could be at peace. It was just a pure wish.

When she was quiet, she was like a standing jade bamboo, a traceless autumn water, a wild goose in the sky lowered its eyes and fell, and all the fish in the pond jumped out.

At this moment, an eagle has already flown across the autumn waters of the south of the Yangtze River.

Battle report arrived.

Great victory on the front line.

………………

When Jiangnan became lively and filled with cheers.

The capital of Ying State, which was supposed to be a great power, was caught in a state of extreme tension.

The Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards have completely guarded the palace inside and outside. All civil and military officials above the third rank have hurried into the palace and knelt outside the hall. Everyone has a look of panic on their face.

There was also a sense of uneasiness and strangeness in the panic.

Human hearts are of all kinds and their schemes are ever-changing, and never is this more evident than at this time.

The palace where the emperor was recuperating was brightly lit with candles.

Jiang Gao and Jiang Yuan had already hurried to the palace. It was not known whether their expressions were sincere or false, but the two princes both looked extremely panicked and worried. They hurried to the palace, only to see the imperial physician of Ying State coming out of the hall after completing the diagnosis.

Jiang Gao went to ask what was going on.

Jiang Yuan followed closely behind.

The two princes surrounded the imperial physician.

The sons and daughters born to Jiang Wanxiang after him were all outside and could not come in.

The imperial physician sighed and comforted them, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Second Prince, don't worry too much."

"Your Majesty has simply lost too much mental energy, and has been disturbed by the current situation in the world, which has caused your mind to lose focus and backfire on yourself. I have just performed acupuncture on you, and your Majesty has taken the elixir, and your breathing has calmed down a little."

"Besides, your Majesty's own martial arts skills have also reached the Grandmaster level and are already recovering on their own."

He paused, and a hint of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face.

He looks like hesitant to speak.

Upon seeing this, Crown Prince Jiang Gao seemed to understand something and said gently:
"Please come here, doctor. I will escort you out."

The imperial physician thanked him and followed Jiang Gao out to a deserted place. Jiang Gao reached out and grabbed the imperial physician's sleeve, whispering, "Imperial physician, there is no one here. What is the condition of our father?!"

There was genuine worry and tension in his eyes.

He held the imperial physician's arm tightly with his hand.

The imperial physician sighed and said, "Your Majesty originally had more than ten years to live. If he is well cared for, it is not impossible for him to live another twenty years. However, before that, the wolf king Chen Fubi came to attack our Daying capital."

"Your Majesty could not bear to use the common people as an obstacle, so he went to the city to confront the Wolf King himself."

"The destiny of the world is the mind of millions of people. After all, the Wolf King is a divine general second only to the Grand Master. He is also carrying the momentum of annexing the world and fighting thousands of miles away. He is attacking with the thought of death."

"Your Majesty may be the Son of Heaven, but on the battlefield, you are no match for the Wolf King."

"That battle had a great impact on your majesty, and you were struck by the fierce aura of the Wolf King."

The imperial physician remained silent for a moment. Because Jiang Wanxiang was generous and magnanimous, and the prince in front of him was always kind, he spoke and said something he shouldn't have said. He said, "Your Majesty takes pills every day, and your blood and qi are still strong, but your mind is weak."

"After all, your Majesty's seventh-level martial arts are different from those of the masters in the martial arts world who devote their whole body and soul to honing their skills. Most of them are achieved by taking elixirs. When a person reaches this age, it is like a thin leather bag filled with water. If it is not injured, it can still be perfect."

"Looks very full of energy."

"Once injured, the essence, energy and blood will flow out like water, and the condition will get worse and worse."

"This kind of thing often happens among the common people. Some old people look energetic and seem to be more capable than young people. They can do anything and it seems that they can live like this for another 20 or 30 years."

"But suddenly one day I fell down, just like a hole in my pocket."

"The spirit and energy leaked out, and within a year or two, he would pass away."

"This is the calamity of old age. This calamity is no different for kings, generals, heroes, beauties, and ordinary people in the market."

"If your majesty can survive this night, you will have another year or two to live."

"But if I can't make it through tonight..."

Jiang Gao's face turned pale, and he grabbed the doctor's wrist tightly: "What will happen?!"

The imperial physician looked at the prince in front of him with regret and said:
"Your Highness, please spend more time with His Majesty."

Then he stood up and said goodbye. Jiang Gao's face was pale, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He felt as if his mother's death was just yesterday, and today his father, who seemed forever young and full of endless energy, was about to leave.

I was dazed for a moment and wanted to go back, but I didn't see the steps in front of me.

He staggered and nearly fell.

Inside the inner hall, the Second Prince Jiang Yuan drove away the eunuch who brought the medicine. He placed the medicine on the table and opened the lid of the cup. The medicine soup was black and had a hint of bitterness.

It is a tonic elixir.

However, this elixir can only fill a person's spirit, but if it leaks out too quickly and too violently, it will be powerless to save the situation.

Jiang Yuan looked at his father quietly.

Father, you are old...

As he thought about it, a ripple appeared in his heart.

The father who was always brave, always generous and never gave up will also grow old, and that majestic and domineering gaze still surrounds him all the time.

Father and mother have a very good relationship, they are like a normal family of four. As the emperor, Jiang Wanxiang has grown up with them. Mother is too gentle, and Jiang Yuan is sometimes too naughty, but his brother spoils him and his mother can't stop him.

At that time, all his father needed was a look to make Jiang Yuan freeze there, lowering his head and not daring to say anything.

Later, his mother passed away, and his father had to start taking concubines for the sake of power. The relationship between father and son gradually became distant, and Jiang Wanxiang was also busy with the affairs of the world and gradually could not often be by his side.

Therefore, the father in Jiang Yuan's memory will always be the brave and mighty emperor who was with his mother.

But you will also grow old like this.

Jiang Yuan looked at Jiang Wanxiang who was lying quietly with his eyes closed. The eternal lamp on the candlestick beside him flickered, making Jiang Wanxiang's face look gloomy, and also making Jiang Yuan's face look gloomy. His palms were covered in his sleeves.

He held a medicine bottle in his sleeve.

A jade bottle.

There was a flowing liquid in the bottle, as if it still had a heartbeat and vitality after eight hundred years. It was the blood poison of the Fei.

The last bit of Fei’s hard work.

Jiang Yuan looked at his father, at the medicine cup on the table next to him, and at his father's face, which was illuminated by the eternal lamp, with a changeable look. He had heard before that the emperor and the grand master were discussing the future successor.

The Grand Tutor suggested that the prince remain as the new crown prince so that the country can have time to recuperate.

Originally, Yuwen Lie should have died on the battlefield, but the beast He Ruoqinhu actually brought Yuwen Lie back. Jiang Yuan vaguely felt that the situation he had was not secure enough.

If it were according to my father's thoughts, the eldest brother might still be the one in the end.

Unless the emperor dies and the imperial edict is forged.

He has already made contact with the prime minister and has been struggling for a long time. Although he dislikes his brother Jiang Gao, the blood relationship between father and son makes it extremely difficult to make this decision.

But Jiang Yuan has gone too far on this path.

Like a rolling stone on a mountain.

can not stop.

It started with the hostility towards his brother and the first time he secretly attacked his brother. The innocent Jiang Yuan in his childhood is gone. Desires and greedy pursuits will only gradually increase. The struggle in between is only temporary, and constant decline is the norm.

In fact, it was not started by Mr. Pojun.

It was Emperor Chen Dingye who gave him the medicine personally. The incompetent, venomous Emperor Chen told him with a gentle and elegant smile that with his talent, he could defeat Duke Taiping and the Wolf King, so why couldn't Jiang Yuan do the same.

Yes, Chen Dingye can do it too!
His talent and courage are far superior to Chen Dingye!
Why, no!
The expression on Jiang Yuan's face changed. Chen Dingye's words were like the venom of a poisonous dragon, taking root in Jiang Yuan's heart. The shadow swayed, and Jiang Yuan's shadow seemed to be shrouded by another deeper and colder reflection.

Finally, he slowly took out the jade bottle, opened it, and poured the blood inside into the medicine.

In the quiet palace, the voice of his son was heard.

"Father."

He said, "Drink the medicine."
