Chapter 527: Worthy of the Holy Word (I)
Ji Yi bowed his head slightly, in order to resist the sudden arrival of the strong and arrogant waves. Since he was a child, he has known the many advantages of a practitioner in the Great Wilderness and his importance to a country. But in his memory, no cultivator had ever attacked him, so at this time, the sharp arrow shook his eyes.
The cold light made the memory go back to a long time ago, when he could still look at the hibiscus flower with the dwarf branches, and it had not yet bloomed in the cloud lingering palace. At that time, his father was still there, and he would go for a walk in the back garden in his spare time, not to make him happy or praise him, but to teach him some things to know since he was a child.
The people of Li all hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes, let alone the kings of a country? Therefore, my father asked Yi:
"Yi'er, you are going to inherit the throne in the future, do you know what is the most important thing as an emperor?"
Ji Yi was still young at the time, but he was able to tell some truth. He felt that for an emperor, the most important thing must be prestige, but his father shook his head and said that prestige was stable before. What is steady? And how should we do it? The father who existed in distant memories suddenly stretched out his hand and poked him in the eyes when faced with Ji Yi's question.
Yi Yi hurriedly dodged, took a few steps back, and kept blinking, but his father just smiled:
This is the most stable thing an emperor should have. Look, your courtiers are here, and whatever you are facing, you need to stand still. Danger should be stopped by your faithful courtiers, and you must keep the hearts of all men!"
Ji Yi was stunned for a long time at that time, but what if the courtiers around him were villains? The father said that if he couldn't see through the traitors and loyal ministers, this emperor and monarch must be lacking. Some truths are simple, but if you want to understand them, you have to feel and think for a long time. After the death of his father, Yi Yi gradually understood, and also went to the tree in the scorching heat to watch the leaves shuttle, but blinking is an instinct, and he can't deliberately exercise it.
But at this time, Ji Yi's eyes were full of perseverance and confidence. He gritted his teeth and held steady on his horse, his eyes always staring ahead, never shifting in the slightest.
Many soldiers have already spoken out, and some even disregard discipline and run out of the team, eager to save the driver. At this time, it is time to dodge, and there is no need to force stability. And even if a cultivator intervenes to help the Holy Master block the arrows, how can he resist the wave of qi that can be caused? Their Holy Master is not a cultivator!
The people of Daxia were in an anxious mood, while most of the people of the southern kingdom and the shooters admired it. But Xie Helin's eyes were like watching the excitement, Ji Yi was so reckless, and he boasted that he wanted to kill hundreds of people, which was really a fool's dream.
The wind has come, and the ice and snow are following. Although Lin Tian's swift figure came out of Ji Yi's side, and the arrow had also been stopped, there was really a wave of qi that passed through Lin Tian's vitality and headed towards Ji Yi fifty meters behind him from all directions.
"Boom-"
This sound appeared relatively late in Yi Yi's ears, but when the ice and snow around him were lifted again, even if it entered his eyes, his eyes melted, and he did not close them. That stubbornness is because Ji Yi doesn't want to let go of anything in front of him, he wants to seize the opportunity, and he wants to play his ideal role in his first battle.
Beside him, a warrior rushed out, raising his shield in the coming wind and blocking in front of him. A little joy appeared in his eyes, after many years, he did it! This is the first time that Ji Yi has done this, but with the first time, he will be able to come easily in the future, and the confidence that suddenly emerges makes his face more determined.
The vitality on the shield opened, helping Ji Yi to resist most of the impact, and the war horse under his crotch was not chaotic. When many warriors turned around and looked at Ji Yi, they were all extremely recognized, but what were he looking at with his sharp gaze?
It was difficult for Yi Yi to see in the distance through his vitality, but the figure of Lin Tian in his eyes was worthy of being a martial arts wizard that was rare to see in a hundred years of Great Xia. Lin Tian is very young, around thirty years old, but he has already sat in the position of a general, which shows his strong ability. At this time, in Ji Yi's eyes, he was like the sword of Great Xia, splitting the arrow and throwing it aside.
The roar started again, but the qi wave on the side had been pinched by Lin Tian's hand, only causing the ground to sink into an extremely small hole. Then, his gaze went straight through the waves of air, like a hand on the ground reaching into the clouds, and saw the other end. Over there is the iron-faced general of Nanshang, who is a soldier of many generals. They put on a posture with hateful faces, clearly being invaders, but they put on a righteous posture and came to take revenge.
Lin Tian landed with both fists, and his vitality rushed into the ground, causing this plain, which had already been in shambles and had no beauty, to churn like steely thorns.
This was the most common way for Wood Walkers to attack, but unfortunately it was not only it that was churning in the earth, but also countless rock fragments. The rising and falling stone pillars and stone cones intercepted these thorny vines in the middle of the road, but there were people on the side of Great Xia who intervened, so that the land in the center of the two armies exploded in an instant, becoming a grand pit.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Yi drew his sword and raised it, and then caused it to fall, and then the arrow shot out like a shower, covering the sky as before.
No soldier in the Great Wilderness could compare to the archery skills of the crossbowmen of the world, and the speed and strength of their archery were unparalleled in the world, plus the increase of a rune array, which immediately descended on the heads of the southern merchants.
Buzz –
The battlefield in which cultivators intervene is often less simple and rude, just like the number of runes above the head of the Southern Merchant at this time, forming a rune array. As it tossed and turned, all the arrows were blocked, and the arrows of the Great Xia Alliance stopped.
"Follow my path!"
When a person roared, the arrow carrying the vitality was like a meteor, but the orbit was strange, rising from the ground, and then slashing through a huge arc in the air, and finally slammed heavily on the rune array. This kind of vitality had nothing to do with the talisman array, but after that, thousands of arrows caused violent ripples in the talisman array with their powerful force and the rapid frequency of continuous impact.
The Southern Merchants under the rune array were moving forward, but after the ripples of the rune array above their heads continued to increase, the rune master who had set up the rune array did not expect to be broken like this. But it doesn't matter what, for people who are high-level enough, Nanshang is just playing with Great Xia. This could not be more apt, and it is also a good excuse for them to underestimate their enemies.
"The cavalry pierced from the side, and the first detachment followed me!"
"Yes!"
Under the command of the order, the war horse quickly swept through the northern part of the pit full of thorns and gravel, and Ji Yi, who had a horse's belly between his legs, went around from the south with Lin Tian and his troops. The cultivators were not so particular about it, and went straight through the pit to engage in a fierce battle.
This place is destined to become a grave today, but it is too small and shallow to be filled by both the soldiers who died in Great Xia and the victims of Nanshang.
The Xia family army is the second detachment, but Xia Xiao still moves forward with Ah Candle. Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu looked at it, quite worried, but they didn't keep it, they just watched it for a long time, waiting for them to withdraw, and the moment when they were on top.
Xia Xiao and Ah Candle are brave and sassy, but if they participate in a battle, there will be one less chance like this. But before leaving, just like Xia Xiao said, he will definitely hurt Nanshang with his own strength, and if he doesn't kill him, thousands of people will be sorry for eating so much food.
Ji Yi rushed forward, wielding the blade in his hand not like a battle-hardened veteran, or even like a rookie who had not experienced any training, but he was not a soldier himself, which was not surprising. It is the banner, it is the head of the spear, and the place it points to, there must be cultivators who will attack quickly, and this is enough.
As a great general, Lin Tian was naturally in the ranks of cultivators beside him. The iron sword in his hand was good at tearing, and as soon as the battle began, there were Nanshang soldiers who lacked arms and legs, and Yi Yi stabbed a sword when he fell, although the movements were much clumsier than expected, and he was not very handsome. But when he saw a stream of blood splashing out of his body, the pleasure was extremely strong. However, when he saw that his soldiers had died at the hands of Nanshang, he dismounted after killing four of them, and rushed with his sword in both hands.
The young emperor had never slashed anyone, and the cultivators and soldiers around him were like a steel fortress, tightly protecting it. But his initial silence was gradually replaced by the roar of murder, as if it was not himself who drove him to drop the sword in his hand, but the hatred of the entire Great Xia for the Nanshang invaders and the dead of the deceased soldiers.
"Kill—"
Killing one person, killing ten people, the armor and robes were full of blood, and killing the twentieth person, Yi Yi was finally able to smoothly complete the two seemingly simple sword drops and stabbing movements.
As the cultivators continued to move forward, he gradually reached the forefront of the entire alliance army, and his influence increased again, causing countless soldiers to roar and rejoice, and they were about to rush forward. They wielded swords and looked like villains from hell, but the Great Xia Alliance was guarding their own homeland today, not invading other people's lands. Therefore, under the steps of Ji Yi stepping forward and the rest of the people following closely, the alliance army of the first detachment was extremely excited, and the battle was extremely happy.
It is very convenient for cultivators to use their vitality to kill people, but most of them only kill half of the Nanshang soldiers and hand them over to Yi Yi. Most of the people killed by the latter are like this. As an emperor, although this is a show of heart and morale, he should complete the quota of one hundred Nanshang soldiers as soon as possible, and then go back to the town. If he stayed on the battlefield all the time, Lin Tian and they wouldn't be able to let go at all.
Compared to everyone's clear minds, Ji Yi can't think so much now. For the first time, he threw himself into the noisy battlefield, and he used to stand on the city wall, worried about the soldiers, and wondered why some people were stunned and reacted for so long before taking action. Now he realized that from the moment he stood here, his brain was extremely confused.
The hustle and bustle around him was very chaotic, and he couldn't hear what it meant, but in the screams of grief, he saw the Great Xia soldiers not far away fall with a bang.
The fallen soldier roared, pulling out several extremely long streaks of blood between his red teeth, and then rose up to slash the sword in his hand, breaking the leg bone of the southern merchant who was about to leave. Seeing it rolling on the ground, the soldier finally took his last breath with satisfaction. Such sacrifices are countless, and Ji Yi looked around, and in this moment alone, dozens of people died.
There are many places that you can't see, so at this point, it is not an exaggeration to say that the number of dead people is more than 500. Some of the wounded soldiers lay on the ground, begging for help, no one wanted to die, but no matter how much they called their mothers, their relatives would not see their previous bravery and their misery at this time.
Eventually, someone understands the significance of this time. He turned over violently, and with a very rough gasp, he used the weapon around him to cut down all the southern merchants around him, but he also spat out two mouthfuls of blood under the sharp weapon, and said goodbye to this world.
The roar was extremely loud, and Yi Yi cut off the head of the Southern Merchant with a knife, looking at the blood spurting out after his neck was broken, full of resentment and anger. He Daxia has always only guarded the land left by his ancestors, and does not take advantage of others, but even so, there are still livestock like Nanshang, trying to encroach on their homeland.
The cultivators of Nanshang were like ghost leopards at night, rushing out of nowhere, and swept away the cultivators around Ji Yi. This feeling made him lose his ability to judge instantly, was he knocked down for himself? Or was the target of the enemy warrior himself? Yi Yi felt that it was the former, but he couldn't interfere with the warrior's battle at all.
"Holy Lord, come on!"
After Lin Tian said this, Ji Yi hurriedly turned his head, and when he saw a person coming towards him, he held his sword in both hands and stabbed at him. Ji Yi's strength was not great, and his body was a little skewed, but the sword in his hand still pierced the man's body.
With his feet spread apart, Ji Yi stabilized his body, looking at the painful expression of the southern merchant, without the slightest pity, he just threw it heavily on the ground. Then, when his arms were sore, he walked quickly to the practitioner who had been pounced on earlier.
"Can you stand up again?"
If he wasn't a saint, no one would want to play this kind of game with him at such a critical time, but it was precisely because of his identity and courage that the cultivators lying on the ground looked at him with reverence in their eyes. He reached out and grabbed Ji Yi's hand, was pulled up by him, and turned to fight together.
Since such a reckless approach was agreed to by the ministers and advisers, it must be carried out. In his heart, he kept counting a number, and each time it increased, it got closer to a hundred, which made him work harder. The latter is very self-aware, his strength is very poor, and he must hurry to reach that amount, otherwise the soldiers on his side will suffer heavy losses.
The sword rose and fell, and Ji Yi showed some anxiety, which made the iron-faced general of Nanshang want to laugh when he saw it. The kings of a country have all gone to the battlefield, what kind of decision and plan is not ashamed? Seeing this, Lin Tian turned around and said:
"Holy Lord, there are already a hundred, please come back quickly!"
Ji Yi only counted to eighty-nine, but many cultivators beside him also said the same words as Lin Tian. Although Ji Yi said that he had some bad feelings in his heart, but now if he wanted to help his army, he had to leave quickly, so he turned around and left, and rode away towards Xiyang. This farce written and directed by himself should also come to an end.
"Protect the Holy Lord, leave!"
This is something that Lin Tian doesn't say, and everyone understands.
Not only the Great Xia people, but all the people in the alliance got out of the way. When the young saint passed by them, the cold, snow, and smell of blood on his body made the soldiers know that this was not a joke. This saint who came from a high hall is an iron-blooded man like them, and he is a soldier who can defend his family and country. It's just that now the Holy Admiral has gone back to take charge of the overall situation, and they should still stand at their posts.
The vision of the saints and the things to be done are not understood by these vulgar people. But they are extremely admired, the so-called sacred, is noble!
