From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

Chapter 107: Both sides are hurt, stabbing each other in the ribs, and the sword cuts the small arrow! ( words long chapter)

In fact, just as Zhuge Zhengwo opened his mouth, Fang Yingkan's right hand had already grasped the "Blood River Divine Sword", and pushed the Blood River Sect's supreme classic, the "One Breath Penetrating the Sun and the Moon" magical skill to its peak state.

The entire dim shop was immediately lit up with bright red blood light, and the strong smell of blood filled the air, drawing in the murderous aura, murderous intent, and murderous thoughts between heaven and earth, like a surging river of blood, flowing endlessly.

The principles of "One Qi Penetrating the Sun and the Moon Magic Art" and "Four Doors Screen Magic" are the same, both of which aim to draw on the murderous energy that is overflowing between heaven and earth.

The difference is that the artistic conception of this magical skill originated from the authentic Taoist classics, which says "Heaven and earth have no benevolence and treat all things as straw dogs."

Everything in the world ends with death. As for the various forms of death, whether natural or unnatural, they all come down to the word "kill".

This is exactly what is meant by "when things are in their prime they should be killed".

When man kills another, it is called "killing".

The punishment of heaven is called "Sha".

This ruthless energy that exists in the world is called evil energy. When it is applied to people, it is called murderous energy.

Because of this, the "heavenly and human-killing" energy aroused by the "One Qi Penetrating the Sun and the Moon Divine Art" is not as magnificent as the "Four Doors Screen Technique", but its nature is more refined and can be used directly by people.

Fang Yingkan originally gave the "Tianyu Qigong" to Ling Luoshi in exchange for some of the secrets of the "Screen Four Doors" so that he could practice the "One Qi Penetrating the Sun and the Moon Divine Art" by analogy.

Because of this, his "Blood River Divine Sword" is mixed with a strong aura of brutality and violence among the murderous aura of Heaven that is killing everything in its prime and the pure and only murderous aura of humanity.

That was originally the evil nature of the "Four Doors Screen Technique", but in Fang Yingkan's hands, it turned into a brutal and brutal beastly nature that was greedy for flesh and blood.

At this moment, Mi Cangqiong's hair stood on end and his scalp felt numb.

From the sword that was about to be fired but was not, he even tasted the meaning of "a stick pointed to the sky, all the four elements are evil."

This is Mi Cangqiong's own unique skill!
Mi Cangqiong then realized that he had always underestimated the young marquis's talent in martial arts. He also realized that he had been secretly learning his martial arts!
Compared with the original ruthless artistic conception of "One Qi Penetrating the Sun and the Moon Magic Art", it is obvious that the current swordsmanship that combines the "Four Doors Screen Technique" and "One Stick Pointing to the Sky" is more beastly, fierce and tyrannical, and is more suitable for Fang Yingkan.

Because this handsome and handsome man, who is known as one of the three most handsome young men in the capital along with Wuqing and Di Feijing, is actually a beast at heart.

Or perhaps worse than beasts.

Even towards his stepmother Xia Wanyi, who cherishes him, loves him and cares about him more than anyone else, Fang Yingkan would have ugly desires. If he cannot get her, he will completely destroy this charming beauty.

Fang Yingkan would also have the intention to kill his adoptive father who had given him unique martial arts skills, power and status, as well as the magical weapon "Blood River Sword", just because this person was blocking his way!
Fang Yingkan has a deep understanding of his own nature, but he is not ashamed of it but proud of it.

In his view, what does it matter whether it is a human or an animal?

How are humans different from animals?
Maybe, human beings are the most beastly beasts!
A man who is more beastly than beasts, using sword skills full of bestial murderous intent, immediately burst out with a rough, crazy, primitive and pure power. This power is brutal and powerful, its momentum is so violent that it is irresistible.

This is a power that comes from desire and delusion, and it is also an ugly power, but this power makes Fang Yingkan unreasonably and unconscionably powerful.

Even a standard "Zhuge-level" figure like Mi Cangqiong, whose skills are deeper and better than his, whose stick skills are more advanced than his, and whose actual combat experience is a hundred times more than his, would never be willing to confront him head-on when faced with such sword skills.

But in front of Zhuge Zhengwo's wooden spear, Fang Yingkan's sword had no effect at all.

Not only did it not work, it wasn't even delivered at all.

He was even used against me by Zhuge Zhengwo's marksmanship!

Although Fang Yingkan was frightened away by Zhuge Zhengwo that night, he kept watching Zhuge Zhengwo's every move in the sedan chair when he left.

Therefore, Fang Yingkan witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Zhuge Zhengwo broke off a gnarled and dead branch and then used his internal force to cut it into a straight spear.

The most profound impression that the spear left on Fang Yingkan was just two words:
--upright.

He had never seen such an upright gun, just as he had never seen such an upright person as Zhuge Zhengwo.

At that moment, the man and the gun seemed to be indistinguishable from each other, completely transformed into a standard to measure the world.

Fang Yingkan knew that he was also an expert in spearmanship who had practiced the "Wuri Divine Spear". So when he saw the wooden spear, he knew that Zhuge Zhengwo's spearmanship had reached a level that he could hardly match.

Therefore, Fang Yingkan gave up the futile idea of ​​challenging Zhuge Zhengwo with the "Wuri Divine Spear" and from then on focused on the "Blood River Divine Sword" that he had practiced since childhood and in which he was most confident.

This decision seems to be the same as giving up the "Thirteen Secret Skills", but the underlying logic is completely different.

Yuan Xian gave up his Thirteen unique skills because he believed in his "Sad Little Arrow", or in other words, he bet all his chips on this unique skill he created.

But Fang Yingkan gave up the Wu Ri Divine Spear because in his opinion, although the Wu Ri Divine Spear was the unique martial arts of the Jin Dynasty royal family, it was still not enough to deal with Zhuge Zhengwo's martial arts.

In Fang Yingkan's mind, the only person who can rival Zhuge Zhengwo is his adoptive father Fang Juxia. He placed his bets on his adoptive father's unparalleled skills.

However, this time, Zhuge Zhengwo's spear skills were different from before.

Fang Yingkan could not feel the slightest bit of "integrity" from the wooden spear.

From this angle, he could see clearly that the "wooden gun" was more like a crooked, branchy, bare tree branch than a gun.

It was as if Zhuge Zheng was too lazy to even sharpen the branch. He just broke off a dead branch and stabbed it out casually.

This casualness, however, has a natural and spontaneous charm.

This is no longer the gun of "integrity".

It is the gun of "nature".

But this kind of "nature" is not perfect. It is like a lifelike landscape painting, with mountains, flowing water, moving clouds and waterfalls. Although it can describe movement with stillness, it ultimately lacks a lively vitality.

I may not be unable to handle a gun like this!
When Fang Yingkan thought of this, he felt extremely excited.

His eyes seemed to burst into blood-red flames, his hair danced wildly, his clothes fluttered, and between his fingers shone a bright light like the red sun. The "Blood River Sword" had already broken free from its sheath a little, revealing a line of crystal blood light.

But just when Fang Yingkan was building up his strength to the extreme and his sword energy was about to burst out, something strange happened.

The "Blood River True Energy" that was lingering around the man and rising to the extreme suddenly flew up, leaving Fang Yingkan one step ahead, like a young swallow flying into the arms, and straightened Zhuge Zhengwo's wooden spear.

This river of blood revolved around Zhuge Zhengwo's "gun barrel", which was the dead branch, and spun like a tornado. In the process of spinning, it continued to condense and finally turned into a gorgeous red flower.

During this process, Zhuge Zhengwo's "spear" was also ground into a spear head. The tip of the spear seemed to be flowing with crystal light, without any sharpness, but more like some dewdrops in the early morning.

As soon as the red flowers meet the dead branches, they immediately burst out with vigorous vitality, as if even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, and the mountains collapse and the earth cracks, they can still exist independently like this, becoming a wonder between heaven and earth.

Fang Yingkan then realized that the vital vitality actually came from himself!
This is no longer "nature", but a kind of "freedom" that is unrestrained by heaven and earth and can do whatever one wants, or it can be said to be "freedom"!
This is exactly Zhuge Zhengwo’s spear of freedom!

Faced with this superb and miraculous shot, how could Fang Yingkan, who had been deprived of all his internal strength in that instant, resist?
With one shot, a big hole was torn in Fang Yingkan's chest, and it was vaguely visible that his internal organs had been completely rotten.

The young marquis fell on his back, his life completely gone.

At this time, a long stick stretched out from the side, carrying with it a "void disaster" force that was omnipresent and all-encompassing, as if it wanted to destroy the heaven and earth and destroy everything, and it came towards Zhuge Zhengwo's wooden spear.

It was Mi Cangqiong’s “stick to the sky”!
Faced with Zhuge Zhengwo's fierce shot, even though Mi Cangqiong had mastered the "finger stick", he was absolutely unwilling to resist it with his mortal body.

Therefore, his most instinctive reaction was to take out the stick first and then hit it with his own "stick to the sky".

Although Mi Cangqiong's stick can be extended and retracted and will not be restricted by the terrain, he is not like Fang Yingkan, who is anxious and always holds the hilt of the sword tightly, so he cannot launch the "stick to the sky" in the first time.

In fact, for a master like Mi Cangqiong, taking the stick should be as easy as breathing, done in one go and naturally. Even masters of the same level as him would never be able to grasp the moment of ups and downs.

But in Zhuge Zhengwo's eyes, the interval of a "breath" or a "moment" is already a huge gap.

Because of this, Mi Cangqiong's "stick to the sky" ultimately failed to arrive in time to save Fang Yingkan's life.

Zhuge Zhengwo's shot had really taken into account Mi Cangkong's instincts and Fang Yingkan's reactions to the extreme, which led to such a result.

The stick that Mi Cangqiong just struck was due to the pressure from Zhuge Zhengwo's spear, and he acted instinctively.

Therefore, it was not until the stick and the gun officially collided that his consciousness really became active and he had room to think.

Mi Cangqiong's first reaction was:
--shock!

He really couldn't understand how Zhuge Zhengwo could burst out with such a powerful force under the suppression of the "Six-Harmony Azure Dragon Universe Array", so that Fang Yingkan, a master, couldn't even deliver a single sword and died in disgrace?

Mi Cangqiong could even feel that the power coming from Zhuge Zhengwo's spear had greatly weakened compared to its heyday.

But the more this happened, the more surprised and even frightened he was!

The two men confronted each other with their sticks and spears. Mi Cangqiong raised his arms, and the tip of the long stick drew a circle in the shop and fell to the ground.

This move of his was not intended to hurt the enemy, but to directly shatter the house to alert Cai Jing and others in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Mi Cangqiong knew very well that he had been overwhelmed by Zhuge Zhengwo's momentum. If the fight continued, he would be killed by Zhuge's gun in just three or two moves.

So, he has to send out a signal for help!

As the head of Youqiao Group and one of the few people closest to the pinnacle of power in the Song Dynasty court, Mi Cangqiong has always regarded Cai Jing as a great enemy of the court, and is even more wary of the powerful underworld forces in the hands of this grand master.

But at this moment, Mi Cangqiong would rather Cai Jing had more and more masters in his hands, preferably so many that they could rush forward and directly beat Zhuge Zhengwo to pieces, making him never to be reborn!
——If not, who could have predicted what kind of changes this person could undergo in such a desperate situation?
Mi Cangqiong really hated this feeling of powerlessness, where everything was not under his control and he could only worry in vain.

But as soon as his stick started to spin, it was blocked by the shock wave coming from Zhuge Zhengwo's gun.

Just as Mi Cangqiong was about to shake again, he felt the pressure on his hand suddenly lighten. Zhuge Zhengwo actually left at the critical moment when the internal forces were colliding with each other. He twisted his wrist and pulled his forearm back, withdrawing the wooden spear.

Mi Cangqiong groaned, feeling as if he had punched cotton. He felt powerless and had nowhere to start. He staggered back a few steps before he supported his body with a long stick.

As soon as Mi Cangqiong stood firm, he saw Zhuge Zhengwo, dressed in a white robe, stepping over the threshold and walking into the dim shop.

He shook the spear in his hand, picked up the "Blood River Sword" that had fallen to the ground, and it fell into his palm.

Zhuge Zhengwo took a look at the Blood River Sword and showed a satisfied look. He threw the famous divine weapon out of the shop and said casually:
"Yu'er, keep it."

Outside the shop, it was Wuqing who was pushing his wheelchair alone without the four sword boys to serve him.

Hearing Zhuge Zhengwo's instructions, he nodded, raised his hand and waved it. A thin silver thread shot out from his sleeve and wrapped around the hilt of the "Blood River Sword" exactly, suspending the sword in the air for a moment, and then leisurely put it into his arms.

Such an effortless technique made Mi Cangqiong secretly frightened and even more alert.

Everyone in the world knows that Wuqing has no internal strength and has always been famous for his hidden weapons and mechanisms.

The power of this thing might be enough to deal with ordinary people in the martial arts world, but in the eyes of a peerless master like Mi Cangqiong, it is only worthy of the description of "strange and clever skills".

But after seeing it today, Mi Cangqiong realized that a person without any internal strength could actually wield hidden weapons so skillfully.

What a sophisticated technique this is!
Although such ruthlessness was still not enough to pose a threat to him, it could be considered "troublesome".

In a battle with a strong man like Zhuge Zhengwo, even a little bit of "trouble", just a little bit, is enough to be fatal.

After Mi Cangqiong realized how serious the situation was, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He looked at the wooden spear with blood-red "red flowers" in Zhuge Zhengwo's hand and asked in a deep voice:
"Is this a stunning shot?"

Now facing Zhuge Zhengwo, Mi Cangqiong didn't even dare to shout loudly, or use the method of shattering the house to warn Cai Jing and others as he did just now.

It was only because he had seen the brief moment when Zhuge Zhengwo had just pointed out that Fang Yingkan was about to die, and his sharp edge had faded and his stamina was not yet sufficient, that he dared to take the risk, but in the end it was still in vain.

Now Zhuge has put away his gun and is gathering his strength, obviously having taken full precautions.

Mi Cangqiong thought to himself that if he dared to be distracted and waste his energy on such things, and revealed the slightest flaw, he would be killed on the spot.

Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head and said calmly:

"If you ask me to use the stunning shot, Fang Yingkan is not worthy of it. But...your 'stick to the sky' is barely qualified."

He raised his head again and looked at Mi Cangqiong who was waiting for the battle. He drew his gun, shook his rod, held his head high and showed an unprecedented arrogant attitude. In an unquestionable tone, he calmly declared:
“Now that my senior brother and second senior brother are here, the disciples of Zizai Sect have surrounded this place. Eunuch Mi, you have nowhere to escape.

A true warrior like you should not die in an encirclement. I will give you time to recuperate and fight me fairly.

The best outcome for you is to perform the strongest "stick to the sky" and then die by my gun.

This is a fair fight, and no outsiders will interfere."

Wuqing nodded, responding to Zhuge Zhengwo's assurance, and pushed the wheelchair backwards, exactly three feet, to show his attitude that he would not interfere.

Zhuge Zhengwo's attitude was so frank that no one could have imagined that his senior brother was busy breaking the "Liuhe Qinglong Formation" and helping to cover up the sound of the battle so that the movement here would not be noticed by Cai Jing and others, and he had no time to be distracted.

And his second senior brother never actually came.

When Mi Cangqiong heard this, he didn't doubt it at all.

After all, if "Master Lancan" and "Mr. Tianyi" had not come here, the "Six-Harmony Azure Dragon Formation" left by Wei Qingqingqing would not have been cracked so easily.

If there were no powerful reinforcements, how could Zhuge dare to take the initiative to charge out of the Shenhou Mansion when surrounded by powerful enemies?

Although Mi Cangqiong understood the reason, he felt it was extremely strange deep down in his heart.

It was because in his impression, with Zhuge Zhengwo's humble character, even if he was about to face a life-and-death battle, he would never be so arrogant, let alone say such arrogant words.

But looking at the gun in Zhuge Zhengwo's hand and remembering the scene of him dominating the Grand Tutor's Mansion a few days ago, Mi Cangqiong suddenly realized that perhaps, this attitude of "an old man relaxing in the midst of youthful madness" was the true nature of this divine marquis.

Just think about it, how could a strong man who could single-handedly support the righteous path for so many years and single-handedly build up such a huge foundation as the Divine Marquis Mansion not have his own pride?
What's more, everyone in the world knows that Mi Cangqiong's master, Huaiyin Zhang Hou, is the enemy of Wei Qingqingqing, the founder of Zizai Sect.

"A Stick Hitting the Sky" was also created by Zhang Hou, specifically targeting Wei Qingqingqing's "Qian Yi".

Given the temperament Zhuge Zhengwo displayed today, it is understandable that he wants to defeat "Chaotian Yigun" head-on and help his master defeat Zhang Hou.

Mi Cangqiong took a breath, calmed himself down, and did not answer. He just nodded and devoted his whole body and mind to the peak showdown that was about to unfold.

He took a deep breath, and a fierce and ferocious aura surged out, dyeing his hair, eyes, skin, and even the luxurious official uniform on his body a dull yellow.

"A stick pointing to the sky" is a very vicious killing move. If Mi Cangqiong wants to push it to the most extreme and peak state of exterminating life, he must hurt himself before hurting others.

Obviously, the next move has entered the realm of desperate.

In the generation of Mi Cangqiong's grandfather, the Mi family was a prominent family. However, because of their bitter remonstrance, they were convicted, demoted to poverty, and exiled to the frontier. They were not able to return to the capital until fifty years later.

Therefore, when Mi Cangqiong was a teenager, he wanted to expand his family's reputation and revive his family's reputation. However, before he grew from a teenager to a young man, his parents were killed for offending the powerful.

Mi Cangqiong himself was noticed by the previous emperor because of his handsomeness at a young age. He was locked up in a silkworm room and brought into the palace to become a eunuch, thus ending his hope of carrying on the Mi family's bloodline.

Therefore, Mi Cangqiong has always hated the Song court deeply.

Since he could no longer accomplish his original intention, he had to completely destroy the Song Dynasty and give himself and the Mi family a grand funeral.

Therefore, Mi Cangqiong placed his hopes on Fang Yingkan.

Because he saw that Fang Yingkan had the potential to be a great general and a future big man, he wanted to use this young man to achieve the dream that he would never get in his lifetime.

That’s why Mi Cangqiong supports Fang Yingkan.

But Fang Yingkan was dead.

Died by Zhuge Zhengwo's gun.

Given Mi Cangkong's age and the current complicated situation in the court, he was almost certain that he would not be able to find another partner like Fang Yingkan.

Therefore, it can be said that from today on, Mi Cangqiong's only remaining obsession has been broken, and now he only thinks about one thing:

revenge!

Take revenge on Zhuge Zhengwo who destroyed my last obsession!
It was this determination to perish together with his enemies that pushed Mi Cangkong's momentum to an unprecedented height.

The old man's originally upright figure gradually became hunched, wrinkles appeared on his smooth skin, and he aged rapidly, as if all his vitality had been injected into the long stick.

The stick was buzzing, and the head of the stick was shaking slightly, drawing out small circles one after another, spreading out a shrill whistle like the wailing of gods and ghosts. The sound waves could hardly spread out, and could only roll bigger and bigger in the shop.

Anyone could imagine that his next move must be the pinnacle of his life's hard work.

But at this moment, Zhuge smiled slightly and said softly:
"I lied to you."

Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Zhengwo took a step forward, seized the moment when Mi Cangqiong's momentum reached its peak and his self-injury was the most serious, and thrust out with his spear!
"Zhuge Zhengwo, you!"

Mi Cangqiong never expected that Zhuge Zhengwo, with his status and position, would actually use such unscrupulous means in a "fair battle"!
It was only then that he realized that Zhuge Zhengwo's pretentious arrogance and unruly words were all a disguise!

Zhuge Zhengwo, with his good image and excellent acting skills, successfully convinced Mi Cangqiong that he had known the real Zhuge Zhengwo, a Zhuge Zhengwo who was old, wise, experienced, but still proud and high-spirited.

A Zhuge Zhengwo would naturally not launch a sneak attack when facing a duel concerning the honor of his school.

It was this mentality that created the next opportunity for Zhuge Zhengwo to kill!

Mi Cangqiong's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it but had to believe it.

It’s because Zhuge Zhengwo is the most elusive person in the world!
But after all, he is an old man who has practiced for many years, and his experience and maturity are absolutely incomparable to Fang Yingkan.

People like Mi Cangqiong would definitely be on guard even if he trusted Zhuge Zhengwo. This was an instinct he had developed through long-term court struggles.

It was this instinct that made Mi Cangkong finally launch this attack!
Even though the accumulated power has exceeded the limit that Mi Cangqiong's body can bear, he can still control it and release it completely by relying on the pent-up resentment and anger in his chest!
This time, "A Stick to the Sky" did not miss the opportunity, but intercepted Zhuge Zhengwo without any error, and even broke the wooden spear in his hand into pieces, and it did not even break, but directly turned into ashes.

Mi Cangqiong was surprised to find that this divine marquis, who had been invincible since he took action, was actually weaker than he had imagined. He was empty and looked like a rotten branch.

Although Mi Cangqiong didn't know what exactly happened, he keenly sensed that something was wrong.

——Because in the fight between the two of them just now, although the internal strength displayed by Zhuge Zhengwo was not as strong as before, it was still considered powerful, otherwise he would not have been able to control Mi Cangqiong's attack just now.

Naturally, such power cannot be completely dissipated in a short period of time. It must have somewhere to go.

——Where did you go? Where did you go?

As soon as this doubt emerged in Mi Cangqiong's mind, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Behind Zhuge Zhengwo, Wuqing, who was originally sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly jumped up!

Under Wuqing, the wheelchair, which was rumored to contain countless hidden weapons and was one of his two magic weapons to defeat his enemies, exploded completely.

This young man with no internal strength and disabled legs, at this moment, suddenly burst out with strength and speed beyond everyone's imagination. Holding the Blood River Sword, he rushed into the sky like a trapped dragon, and chopped off Mi Cangqiong's head.

This kind of power does not come from internal strength, but purely from the ruthless body!
At this moment, the power and speed unleashed by the cripple Wuqing were so great that they exceeded Mi Cangqiong's imagination.

Wuqing just deliberately displayed his hidden weapon skills and took over the Blood River Sword. It was also a disguise to deceive Mi Cangqiong.

The purpose is to make him focus his mind and energy on guarding against hidden weapons that may come from nowhere.

But who could have thought that Wuqing actually regarded himself as a hidden weapon, or an open weapon, or even a killing weapon!
The Blood River Sword in his hand burst out with a strong blood light, and the "red flower" at the tip of the wooden spear was attracted and turned into a blood river again, moving along with the "Blood River Sword".

Faced with such a sword, Mi Cangqiong, who had put all his energy on Zhuge Zhengwo, was completely unable to resist!
The gorgeous scarlet sword light flashed and disappeared.

Wuqing's face was pale as he passed by Mi Cangqiong. Behind him, an old man's head flew into the sky, blood splattering everywhere.

The half-struck "stick toward the sky" was completely stopped, and instead injured itself, completely shattering the remaining old body of Mi Cangqiong, which exploded and scattered.

In fact, when Zhuge Zhengwo threw the "Blood River Sword" to Wuqing, he had already injected all of his remaining internal strength into the sword, laying the groundwork for this fatal sword.

And what Zhuge Zhengwo said just now was not only to let Mi Cangqiong use his internal energy to hurt himself and create the best opportunity for battle, but also to make him concentrate and not be distracted so that he could not distinguish between his own strengths and weaknesses.

It can be said that Mi Cangqiong’s death was entirely due to the perfect cooperation and acting skills of the master and apprentice Zhuge Zhengwo and Wuqing.

The most important point is that, apart from the people in the Shenhou Mansion, no one knows that Wuqing's legs have recovered.

No one knew that this useless man, who had been disabled since childhood and had difficulty practicing normal internal skills, had already become a powerful physical practitioner with extraordinary strength.

These past few days, no matter how severe the situation was, Zhuge Zhengwo had always insisted on being ruthless and forbearing, and he must not reveal the fact that his legs had recovered, let alone his cultivation of the body-refining method, all for this moment.

This hidden trump card, which had been kept hidden until now, indeed produced an unrepeatable and extraordinary result just as Zhuge Zhengwo had expected.

After Zhuge Zhengwo and Wuqing cooperated to kill Fang Yingkan and Mi Cangqiong successively, the "Two Shu and One Shi" also, under the command of Ye Aichan, completely broke the "Liuhe Qinglong Formation".

Also, the "Liuhe Qinglong" who presided over the formation, and the "Eight Sword Kings" who were stationed in the formation were killed silently by the four people in the most covert way.

In the end, these experts in charge of surveillance were unable to pass on any information to the outside world.

This was an extremely incredible and difficult thing to do, but under Ye Aichan's insightful command and unfathomable martial arts, it became an indisputable reality.

Therefore, as soon as Zhuge Zhengwo and Wuqing walked out of the shop, they saw Ye Aichan with a pale face and the "Two Shus and One Shi" with Geshu Lancan.

In order to suppress the "Qiankun Formation" and cover up the noise made by Zhuge and others, Ye Aichan had to exert a lot of effort.

Moreover, he took this opportunity to set up a large formation to confuse the spies who were paying attention to this place, making them think that there was nothing unusual happening here.

After all, Ye Aichan and others did not have the time and energy to eliminate all the spies, so they could only use this method to delay time as much as possible and make Cai Jing and others get the news slower and slower.

Even with Ye Aichan's skills, it was not easy to complete such a series of major tasks all at once. What's more, he had to do it quietly without causing any noise?
He knew that time was running out, so he spoke very quickly:
"The 'God-confusing array' has been completed, retreat quickly."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded. Ye Aichan flicked his long sleeves again, and a cloud of smoke emanated from his body, covering everyone. In another flash, the group of people disappeared without a trace, vanishing on the spot.

Ye Aichan's method of blending in with the world has been cultivated to the point where he can not only blend into the universe and human nature, but he can also use this power on other people and escape without anyone noticing.

Therefore, by the time Cai Jing reacted and led a group of experts to the scene, the huge Shenhou Mansion was already deserted, and a row of corpses were neatly lined up at the gate.

They were Mi Cangqiong, Fang Yingkan, "Liuhe Qinglong", "Eight Sword Kings" and others.

Seeing this scene, Cai Jing took a deep breath, closed his eyes first, and then suddenly opened them. His eyes suddenly lit up with a bright red, as if his eyes were burning.

After taking a look, he understood:
"The Mysterious Array, hey, it turns out that Ye Aichan is here."

There was no trace of anger in Cai Jing's words, but rather an indescribable joy.

Ye Aichan's disguise skills are world-famous. Anyone would be unable to sleep or eat well when facing such an ever-changing enemy.

Cai Jing was no exception. For this reason, he specially invited a master who had an old grudge with Ye Aichan to sit in his mansion.

It's a pity that although this master's martial arts and methods are outstanding, because of his friendship with Zhuge Zhengwo, he is unwilling to take action against this wise man himself, and is only willing to help Cai Jing kill Ye Aichan.

But how can guarding against thieves be better than being a thief? Now that Ye Aichan has appeared, Cai Jing will naturally take this opportunity to finish his task in one fell swoop and completely eliminate future troubles.

Cai Jing turned around and told Long Ba:
"Send a message to Grandma Tang, telling her that Ye Aichan has appeared and is helping Zhuge Zhengwo escape."

Hearing the name "Grandma Tang", the mask of "Ten Thousand Enemies" shook slightly, the eyes of "Old Zhang Fei" widened, "One-Line King" raised his eyebrows, and the Seven Absolute Swords showed a look of surprise.

Obviously, even they did not expect that the ancestor of the Tang Clan in Shu would be in Cai Mansion at this time.

Only the hidden "King of Heaven" and Yuan Xian, who doesn't care about anything, remain unmoved.

Long Ba nodded, and just as he was about to perform his skills, he heard an old voice saying:

"No need, I'm already here."

Although the voice was heard, there was no figure in the field. The other six people in the Seven Deadly Swords were all shocked, while the rest remained calm, as if they had expected it.

At this moment, Yuan Xian, who had kept his eyes closed and never spoke, suddenly opened his eyes and looked far away towards somewhere outside the city.

His eyes were extremely empty, even to the point of nothingness. Only in the deepest part of his eyes was there a faint light that flickered and seemed to be there and not there.

After taking a look, Yuan Xian did not communicate with anyone. He just took a step forward and suddenly disappeared from the spot, as if he had turned into a powerful arrow, using the heaven and earth as a bow, and shot out angrily.

Cai Jing knew that Yuan Xian must have found the way out of Zhuge and others, so he only ordered:
"Chase!"

Upon hearing the order, the "Seven Sword Gods" immediately displayed their skills and followed Yuan Xian closely. "Old Zhang Fei" and "One-Line King" looked at "Jiao Tianwang" and saw that he nodded slightly and followed him.

Suddenly, the moon in the distance dimmed, and the moonlight illuminated a slender figure, as if Feng Xu was riding the wind, walking in the air, and suddenly went away. It was obviously the "Grandma Tang" who had not revealed his whereabouts just now.

For a time, only "Ten Thousand Enemies" and "King of Calls" were left by Cai Jing's side.

In fact, the three of them were also going to chase after Zhuge Zhengwo and kill him, but just as they were about to take action, they all felt an inexplicable feeling in their hearts at the same time and stopped abruptly.

Only a majestic and clear voice sounded from a distance:

"Very decisive and resolute, what a Zhuge Zhengwo."

A burly man in a plain white robe and with a heroic appearance came from another street, clapping his hands.

Behind him followed a handsome man with a tall and graceful figure, a tall and majestic man wearing a crimson cloak, and a tall and thin man with a sad, lonely face.

The visitors were none other than Zhao Lie, and his three generals, the "King of Extinction" Chu Xiangyu, the leader of the Tang Clan, Tang Shiwu, and the "King of Desolation" Changsun Feihong.

The moment he saw Zhao Lie, Cai Jing showed an expression as if he was pricked by a needle. He could never have imagined that the person who came forward to stop him from chasing would be this person.

Cai Jing frowned and warned threateningly:

"Zhao Lie, Zhuge Zhengwo is not dead yet!"

Zhao Lie stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Cai Jing who was solemn and ready for battle, shook his head and sighed:
"As far as I am concerned, why should Zhuge Zhengwo die? At least, he doesn't have to die today.

Cai Yuanchang, Cai Yuanchang, haven’t you figured it out yet?
In fact, the one who really needs Zhuge Zhengwo is not me, but you and Zhao Ji!"

In fact, although the court of the Song Dynasty is now full of complex factions, the only three people who are truly qualified to decide the general situation of the world are Cai Jing, King Zuo Wu, and Zhuge Zhengwo.

The emperor and Cai Jing are two sides of the same coin.

What Emperor Zhao Ji wanted was nothing more than to get rid of the responsibilities of being the Son of Heaven, enjoy the benefits brought by power, and indulge in sensual pleasures.

Cai Jing was the emperor's perfect assistant. He could provide the emperor with all the enjoyment and deal with the unpleasant but good advice from many loyal ministers.

Taking this opportunity, Cai Jing was able to hide under the emperor's wings and let the emperor protect him from wind and rain, so that he could do whatever he wanted.

From this perspective, Cai Jing and the emperor needed each other.

He absolutely did not want to see the emperor pass away and the world fall into complete chaos, but as long as he could still live in peace in a corner, he would not care how chaotic other places were.

Zhuge Zhengye also needed an emperor, but what he needed was not the emperor himself, but the legitimacy that the emperor represented, so as to restrain King Zuo Wu and prevent him from truly ascending the throne.

So, strictly speaking, Zhao Ji and Cai Jing needed each other, but what they really needed was Zhuge Zhengwo, the white jade pillar that supports the sky and the purple gold beam that spans the sea.

However, over the years, Cai Jing's obsession with Zhuge Zhengwo was so deep and he took him too seriously that he lacked some sensitivity towards other people.

It's not that he doesn't know what King Zuo Wu is thinking, but in Cai Jing's mind, King Zuo Wu is nothing more than the second Fu Zongshu, the second Ling Luoshi. He has long been prepared to fight a decisive battle with King Zuo Wu.

But at least that shouldn't be now, it shouldn't be today.

If Prince Zuo Wu was really an ambitious person like Fu Zongshu and Ling Luoshi who was eager to replace Cai Jing, then he would know that getting rid of Zhuge Zhengwo was the top priority at the moment.

But it is obvious that King Zuo Wu is not that kind of person, or rather, he is not just that kind of person.

He had only one goal from the beginning, which was to kill the emperor and take the throne himself.

If Zhuge Zheng was not here, no matter how big the capital was or how many masters there were, no one would be able to stop Prince Zuo Wu from assassinating the emperor and completely changing the dynasty.

Although King Zuo Wu had a strong desire to kill Zhuge Zhengwo, he would never let this divine marquis go if he had the chance.

But he was much calmer than Cai Jing, and had no obsession or hatred towards Zhuge Zhengwo personally.

Because King Zuo Wu wanted to kill Zhuge Liang not out of hatred, but simply because this man was blocking his way, that's all.

In fact, if it weren't for the different political views and paths of the two sides, King Zuo Wu would really be happy to be friends with someone like Zhuge Zhengwo.

Therefore, after King Zuo Wu learned that Zhuge Zhengwo had escaped from the siege of Cai Jing and others by unknown means and successfully escaped, he immediately decided to change his target and attack Cai Jing.

Before today, Cai Jingdu had always believed that at the two ends of the chessboard in the capital, there were only himself and Zhuge, and the rest of the people, no matter how strong their martial arts skills or how high their status, were just chess pieces.

But it was not until today that Cai Jing suddenly realized that the real players were only Zhuge and King Zuo Wu.

In the end, he, Grand Tutor Cai and Prime Minister Cai, was nothing more than a chess piece in the eyes of the two.

Thinking of this, Cai Jing calmed down and said in a deep voice:

"If you attack us at this time, aren't you afraid that both sides will suffer losses and Zhuge Liang will strike back?"

Although Cai Jing did not expect that King Zuo Wu would really attack him at this time, he never let down his guard against King Zuo Wu, so he gave up chasing Zhuge Zhengwo and stayed with "Ten Thousand Enemies" and "King of Heaven".

Because they were all afraid that King Zuo Wu would launch a sneak attack at that moment.

Judging from the situation on the field alone, the three peerless masters on Cai Jing's side, even if they are no match for the other four, can still put up a little resistance and fight while retreating, so the probability of their escape is definitely not zero.

And once they are determined to fight to the death, it will be enough to make King Zuo Wu and others pay the price in blood.

If King Zuo Wu loses his troops in this battle, even if he kills the emperor and ascends the throne, how will he face Zhuge Zhengwo who has returned?

This is also the reason why Cai Jing was confused.

In his opinion, with King Zuo Wu's wisdom, he should not have resorted to such a bad strategy, unless... he had other means.

Hearing Cai Jing's question, King Zuo Wu just raised a finger, shook it gently, and said with a smile:

"Both sides suffer? No, no, no, Cai Yuanchang, this term does not apply to you and me.

For you, I have a better idiom, it is called - stick a knife in your ribs! "

As soon as these four words came out, Cai Jing suddenly felt that two forces, one on the left and one on the right, were rushing out from behind him and were about to hit him hard in the back!
The one who made the move was unexpectedly "Ten Thousand Enemies" and "King of Calling Heaven"!
-

After leaving the capital, Zhuge Zhengwo and his group headed towards Tianshan, seven hundred miles away.

There was the battlefield finally chosen by everyone from Zizaimen.

All of them were experts, and even though they were extremely fast on foot, they were over a hundred miles away from the capital in just a short while.

But at this moment, Zhuge Zhengwo seemed to sense something. He suddenly turned around, looked towards the direction of the capital city behind him, and let out a long sigh.

Ye Aichan knew what he was looking at and said unhappily:

"Why, you can't bear it anymore at this time? In my opinion, people like Zhao Ji deserve to die."

Zhuge Zhengwo sighed again:
"After we leave, Zhao Lie will definitely attack the palace directly. With his methods, he will surely be able to make the capital city as solid as an iron wall. It will be difficult for him to attack us again in the future..."

"If you ask me, that's not necessarily the case."

A young and confident voice suddenly came from the cold night wind.

Except for Ye Aichan, everyone was familiar with the owner of this voice, and they couldn't help but look up and look towards the source of the voice.

But then a young man in blue clothes, with a face as handsome as a god and eyebrows as sharp as a knife, slowly walked out of the woods.

Next to him stood a skinny old monk with white eyebrows. They were Xu Xing and Tian Jue who had come all the way from Northern Shaolin.

After saying this, Xu Xing raised his head again and uttered a soft "Oh!"
"What a great energy!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his sleeves and waved his hand casually. A strong wind blew up on the ground. A large amount of air was swept up by his sleeves in the whistling wind, surging and rolling. A circle of transparent outline visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared around him.

The air currents gathered and condensed, as if it was a frosty iron sword condensed from the void, reflecting the cool moonlight, making it even sharper and more fierce.

The "Qi Sword" cut through the air, soaring into the distance and colliding with an unknown object that came from a very far distance, creating a hurricane that swept in all directions, and also emitting an extremely piercing and sharp roar.

Zhuge Zhengwo and others saw clearly that the object that collided with the "Qi Sword" was actually a thin hair.

Xu Xing flicked his sleeves again to calm the turbulent air flow and looked into the distance.

With his eyesight, he could naturally see clearly that the person who shot out this "green silk arrow" was still three miles away.

He was a tall and thin man with a lonely face. In his hand was a small and pocket-sized wooden bow that looked like a child's toy.

It’s hard to imagine that the shocking and thrilling arrow just now was shot from such a bow!

Even if there are countless masters in the world, only one person can shoot such an arrow.

It’s the “crazy rich” Yuanxian!
He and Xu Xing looked at each other, and there was no fluctuation in his expression, only a clear consciousness.

——You want to save him?
Xu Xing did not answer, but just grinned and smiled contemptuously.

Yuan Xian nodded.

——Then you will die first.
