Martial Arts: Zhiruo breaks off the engagement and realizes the immortality

The worldview accumulated over most of my life collapsed.

He is really reading the classics!

And it's not just a cursory read, but you can also grasp the essence of it!

But it only takes a cup of tea!

Mastered a classic book in such a short time!

It's simply a monster!

He didn't expect that Xie Xiaoxu could comprehend the mental skills left by his predecessors at such an astonishing speed.

Huang Shang looked at the young people around him and felt deeply moved.

I thought of Xie Xiaoxu’s achievements these days.

It took only more than half a year since his debut when he soared all the way from a grandmaster to a level above the immortals on earth, and he is even now known as a living immortal.

His men are stained with the blood of the immortals on earth.

Even the evil emperor Xiang Yutian from 200 years ago was killed.

This can no longer be described as a monster.

There is no other word other than divine that can accurately describe the young man in front of me.

Just when Huang Shang was distracted, Xie Xiaoxu's figure wandered among the bookshelves again.

The 3,000 volumes of Taoist scriptures here record Taoist classics from the past thousand years and the works of many Taoist masters.

Even Huang Shang himself would need several months to finish reading it, and to fully understand the mysteries contained therein, it would take decades of accumulation and comprehension.

However, Xie Xiaoxu showed amazing speed and understanding.

The figure kept swaying between the bookshelves.

His fingers danced, and his fingertips slid quickly across the words, as if he was deciphering the mysteries in the Taoist Canon.

His eyes were sharp and focused, without a trace of distraction.

My eyes scanned the pages quickly, as if I could understand the essence of the book with just one glance.

Thoughts seem to flash through my mind faster than words.

Thoughts flashed in his eyes, his brows knitted slightly, sweat oozed from his forehead, but he had no intention of stopping. He kept reading and exploring.

"this!"

Huang Shang was so stunned when he saw this scene that he was speechless.

In my heart, I was even more amazed at Xie Xiaoxu's talent and gift.

"I actually witnessed an immortal god flipping through the Taoist scriptures with my own eyes."

At this moment, Huang Shang's eyes were full of admiration.

As expected, he is the fourth young master of Excalibur Villa!

It is indeed a terrifying existence that can kill powerful immortals on land!

He was completely convinced.

He also realized that his knowledge of Taoist scriptures was just the tip of the iceberg, and Xie Xiaoxu's talent and knowledge far exceeded his imagination.

If he continues at this speed, Xie Xiaoxu will be able to finish reading the entire Taoist Canon in just three days!

……

And at this moment, outside Yanmen Pass.

Yelu Hongji led a huge army southward, conquering several cities along the way, with great momentum, and marched straight to Kaifeng City.

The dark army slowly approached.

The heavy sound of horse hooves made the earth tremble, and the sharp swords and guns flashed coldly in the sun, exuding an unparalleled murderous aura.

The flag with a ferocious wolf head painted on it fluttered in the wind, and its arrogance almost crushed the entire city.

Even a seasoned general would go weak in the knees at the sight of this scene.

Yelu Hongji sat on the horse, looking at the Kaifeng City not far away with a smug look and a sneer on his face.

"Cowards of the Song Dynasty, your Liao grandfather is here! Open the city gates if you want to survive!" Yelu Hongji mocked loudly.

Inside Kaifeng, Zhao Gou and his ministers stood on the city wall, witnessing the might of the Liao army. Their faces were filled with fear.

The Liao army's Tiger Division was extremely powerful, and the Song army was like weak lambs in front of them, ready to be slaughtered.

The Song army suffered countless casualties when they broke through the pass before.

But with several city defense lines, Zhao Gou thought he could hold on for a while, but he didn't expect the crisis to come so quickly.

"Your Majesty, the Liao Dynasty has made a huge investment this time and will not stop until the Song Dynasty is destroyed. What should we do?"

"Yes, the Liao army is full of experts, and there are also some underworld forces involved. I am afraid that our Song Dynasty is in danger."

"I heard that the Liao Dynasty is full of barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood. If he were allowed to enter the city, the consequences would be disastrous."

For a moment, all the ministers were talking about it, and their words were filled with fear and worry.

For hundreds of years, the Song Dynasty had never been directly attacked by any force in its capital.

This is the first time.

Moreover, the ferocious momentum of the Liao army, like wolves and tigers, made them tremble with fear.

What's even more terrifying is that they heard from spies that masters from the Liao Dynasty were heading here!

Martial arts are respected in the Shenzhou continent today, and the number of the most powerful people in the Liao Kingdom has also increased rapidly in recent years.

It is far beyond the capability of the masters of the Song Dynasty to contend with.

Moreover, the martial arts masters of the Liao Dynasty practiced extremely domineering horizontal training techniques, which made it extremely difficult for the Song Dynasty to deal with them.

"What about state affairs? Where is the state teacher? I want to see him!"

At this moment, Zhao Gou no longer cared about the demeanor of a king, and was eagerly shouting to see the imperial teacher.

Only when the national master is around can he feel at ease about anything.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master is reading the Taoist Canon with the Immortal!"

A minister reminded.

"Yes, the state affairs are accompanying the Great Immortal, and the state teacher is accompanying the Great Immortal!"

Zhao Gou then remembered that Huang Shang had already accompanied Xie Xiaoxu to the library.

He suppressed his uneasiness and continued, "The Liao army is approaching, and our Song Dynasty is in danger. I can't care too much at the moment. Send someone to summon the Imperial Master to see me."

……

In the palace library.

Xie Xiaoxu put down the last book.

A look of satisfaction appeared between his brows.

He had never expected that the Taoist secrets were so rich. The Taoist insights contained in these books were enough for him to comprehend for several months.

"This training is really worthwhile." Xie Xiaoxu secretly praised himself in his heart. He clearly felt that he had taken an important step on the road to Taoism.

“Perhaps after I fully comprehend the Dao Canon here, my cultivation will be able to break through again!”

Xie Xiaoxu was filled with emotion. The realm of cultivating immortals was indeed different from that of martial arts.

It can even be said that there is a huge difference.

It only took three or four months to break through to the level of a land immortal.

And this was just a small stage of foundation building that held him back for about two months.

Fortunately, I was lucky.

This time he came to the imperial palace library to seek higher-level cultivation methods and to draw more inspiration and opportunities from it.

The library here did not disappoint him.

It is worthy of being the accumulation of hundreds of years of a great dynasty!

The foundation is indeed profound!

At this moment, Xie Xiaoxu felt an immense joy and satisfaction in his heart.

As long as I continue to study these Taoist scriptures, breaking through the peak of foundation building will not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Xie Xiaoxu was filled with passion. He left his desk without hesitation, found an open space, closed his eyes, and began to silently concentrate his inner strength, sinking into thinking about the Taoist Canon.

His breathing gradually became steady, and his state of mind gradually entered a state beyond the world.

Time passed by unknowingly. Xie Xiaoxu was immersed in his own world, unaware of anything in the outside world.

……

The Kaifeng city wall at this time.

The sky was blood red, and a series of fierce and imposing figures were approaching rapidly.

Three celestial masters in tight red robes came together. They were from the Liao Dynasty and were recruited masters of Tantric Buddhism.

Leading the group was the majestic Tibetan Dharma King. He was tall, with a face as angular as a knife, and eyes as sharp as lightning, revealing a cold murderous intent.

The robe fluttered slowly, like a flaming flag, looking extremely shocking against the blood-red background.

The two celestial beings behind him also had extraordinary auras, emitting a powerful and majestic aura. They had expressionless faces, and were intimidating without even getting angry.

The appearance of the three celestial beings instantly made the atmosphere tense. The moment they approached, the air seemed to freeze, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on everyone's chest, causing them to hold their breath and concentrate.

At this time, the Tibetan Dharma King finally spoke: "Huang Shang of the Great Song Dynasty, don't be like a turtle, come out and fight me!"

Chapter 105: One Word to Stop the War

And in Kaifeng city.

When Emperor Zhao Gou heard this loud shout, his heart trembled.

I didn’t expect that the master from Liao would arrive so quickly.

"Report!"

However, at this moment, a spy came to report again.

"An urgent document from 800 miles away, the Liao army marched south and conquered several passes in succession, and our army suffered heavy casualties! The Liao army is still sending more troops!"

"what!"

Zhao Gou exclaimed immediately.

It turns out that what Yelu Hongji said was true!

The document was sent urgently over eight hundred miles, which meant that the Liao Dynasty below was not lying.

The Liao army was invading the south with all its might, and its target was the Song Dynasty. Zhao Gou was in a panic.

What should I do?

The Song Dynasty was now impoverished and weak, and had no ability to fight the Liao Dynasty.

What’s more, the Liao Dynasty launched such a rebellion that the Song Dynasty was caught off guard.

Zhao Gou tightly grasped the document in his hand, frowning.

Looking at this secret report, I suddenly felt a heavy heart.

The Liao Dynasty actually chose to move south at this time, which meant that the Song Dynasty would face a strong threat from the north. What worried him even more was that there was no one available in the court to deal with such a crisis.

As expected, there is only the national teacher.

But the imperial master alone cannot turn the tide.

Zhao Gou was in an extremely heavy mood. He knew that if the imperial teacher was defeated again, the Song Dynasty would be in danger and might never have a chance of recovery.

He fell into deep thought, analyzing the situation at hand.

Although there are some generals in the court, most of them lack sufficient strength and wisdom. To fight against the powerful enemy from the Liao Dynasty, a person with superb talents must be led to protect the safety of the Song Dynasty.
