Chapter 37: The Battle of Tiger Tomb
The sting thundered, and Cang Geng began to sing. But after seeing the rain in the mountains, the peach blossoms on the branches are thick with smoke and dew.
Recently, LΓΌwen City has been fighting in the south and north, invincible, recovering lost territory one after another, and fighting in Huling at Dugu Ye's headquarters, and the two armies looked at each other across the city walls.
"It's been all the time, don't come unharmed?"
Dugu Ye looked down at each other from the city tower and said, "Lu Wencheng, are you here to kill me too?"
"Ah Ye, this Tiger Tomb is the Northern Underworld Realm, and I must recover it. Lu Wencheng paused and said, "If you retreat at this moment, I will never lead the army to pursue." β
"Murong Ye has already died in the disaster that wiped out the door back then, and now standing in front of you is King Zhaoxin of Taichen Kingdom. β
"Taichen's army has already leveled the four roads, and the west of Hanzhong is full of hunger. Lu Wencheng asked rhetorically: "Isn't the blood of so many people enough to fill the cold abyss in your heart?"
"Who are you? How dare you come here to lecture me. Dugute said mercilessly, and then began to chant and cast spells. "Senfa Jianchuan. β
For a while, the wind was fierce, and the clouds in the sky turned into long swords in the sky, and then fell from the sky. The armies of Hanzhong, Jiangnan, and Huaibei lined up in front with shields, so there may be casualties.
"This has come to this, and we have to fight. Immortal Law β’ Ten Directions Wood Realm. β
Lu Wencheng kicked away the flying long sword in the air, and then slowly turned around and landed. I saw him pull out the scarlet peach wood, the artifact that had been guarded for generations, from the palm of his hand, and half-knelt on the ground and completely inserted it into the soil.
The scarlet peach wood was actually a finger-sized half-dead branch, which didn't seem to be unusual.
However, it is a sacred tree brought by the two gods of the Bai clan from the former heavenly realm, and it ranks third among the ten major artifacts in the world, second only to the Hanyu Okan Flower and the Kyushu Sword of the Yu Yan Lord.
Soon after, the roots of the dead tree grew and suddenly became a peach tree that broke through the ground and appeared to be a slender canopy, whose leaves covered half of the castle tower in the northeast corner.
The sword river that came from the front was blocked because of this, and they all turned into mortal iron and fell.
At the same time, the edges of the walls were quietly entwined with black-brown tree roots. By the time Dugu Ye saw the roots of the tree wrapped around the red pillar beside him, the northern city wall had collapsed.
Three thousand fallen leaves rose with the wind, and after landing on the ground, they turned into tree men who were attacked by the armor and attacked the city. After seeing this, the army of Hanzhong took the lead in the seven generals stationed in the city.
The Jiangnan Jiedu made Hua Buluo and the Huaibei Jiedu made Yang Xian divide their troops into two ways, and began to advance together, but they encountered the dark demon riders and the Sky Wolf Demon who came from the east and west sides of Huling City.
Hua Buluo immediately stared at the young man in front of him with a crown of jade, and said: "You don't have a demonic aura on your body, you are clearly from the human race, why bother to work for the monsters?"
"Under is the master is the national teacher of Taichen, so ...... Well, that's a long story. The two of you fight one, and you don't have a good face. Li Yixuan smiled slightly and replied, "Why don't we make three chapters of the law, wait until I finish fighting with this little brother, and then learn martial arts with you?"
"Who is with you as a little brother? You demon thief is clearly begging for beating, and you are here for your life. Yang Xian suddenly spoke sharply, and with his twin swords in hand, he was about to catch up and stab him.
However, Li Yixuan unhurriedly took off the wine bag and took a sip, raised the feather fan to block the sword, and said to him: "Little brother's swordsmanship is not bad, but he lacks some heat. β
"Your Excellency's prestige is far and wide, but I have heard of it a little below. But don't underestimate me, beware of dying under my sword. β
"Okay, then let's have a try. Immortal law: The wind is thousands of miles. β
"Immortal Law Water Dragon Yin. Yang Xian was also not to be outdone, chanting a spell and casting spells, and rushed forward with the water dragon. Seeing that the two of them were fighting, Hua Buluo knew that this person's cultivation was very powerful, and he was afraid that Yang Xian would make a mistake, so he immediately stepped forward to suppress the formation.
Fan Yue and Xie Xun, among the ten elders of Nanhua, were ordered by the sect master to travel thousands of miles from the Taiyao Sect to help, but they were stopped by the Heavenly Wolf King Upaqi, Wei Jiqian, and the captains of the Dark Demon Rider.
If they fight alone, the cultivation of the two elders is even better, and they will naturally win. It's a pity that the current situation is compelling, but they can't withstand their overwhelming numbers.
At this time, Lu Wencheng sat under the peach tree and urged the piano, and his timbre was vaguely wrapped in the intention of killing. Peach blossoms flew all over the battlefield, and the corners of his clothes hunted in the angry wind.
Thousands of troops and horses flew in the battle, and the fallen leaves that came with the wind slit the throats of the monsters. Dugu Ye, on the other hand, was heading towards the other party, and those sharp blades were burned to ashes by the invisible flames before they could get close.
"Ah Ye, I didn't expect that when you and my senior brother saw each other again, we could only draw our swords against each other. Lu Wencheng got up slowly and said, "Thirteen years ago, it was indeed my fault that my brother failed to rush to save you. However, the people of Nanhua are innocent, and they can no longer withstand the chaos of war. β
"In the next one, they were ordered to go east, and they can only be blamed for being born at the wrong time. Dugu Ye replied: "In this glorious and troubled world, we have no choice. β
"Ah Ye, don't help the abuse anymore. Emperor Daozhi was indeed a great man, but he was not a benevolent monarch. Lu Wencheng said, "The flames of war can only convey suffering, but it cannot change everything you have experienced." People who can't let go of the past are also difficult to free themselves. β
"I don't want you to live with a grudge against the world, it's a painful thing. From now on, give up revenge, and go back to Hanzhong with me, Yan'er is also waiting for you there. β
"It was too late. Dugu Ye said to him, "Even if the broken mirror is reunited, the rift on it is still difficult to bridge." Our hearts are already devastated, and we can never go back to the way they were. β
"The master is dead, and you and Yan'er are the people closest to me. Lu Wencheng's eyes suddenly became sad, and he said, "There are enough people who have died in the war, I can't watch you make a big mistake." Since you don't want to change your ways, then I can only let you stop there. β
"In today's world, few people dare to speak so disrespectfully to me, and admire the courage of Lord Lu. Dugu Ye smiled slightly and said, "However, the siege of the city is not between three words." This is a rare opportunity, so that I can learn your methods. Immortal Law: All kinds of glass fire. β
Dugu Ye slowly walked forward with the Easy Sword, and a magnificent flame like glass rose up to the sky beside him, and the wall of fire condensed into a leaf shield surrounded the scarlet peach wood.
"Immortal Method, Sword Dance Flower. Lu Wencheng thought about it, and suddenly helped the wind and rain. The raindrops that splashed on the blade of the sword immediately turned into transparent jasmine flowers, and shot away with the wielding sword qi, and then exploded one by one beside Dugu Ye's body, and a little droplet of water pierced the surrounding stone wall Defeated oak.
However, before they could touch Dugu Ye's body, they were evaporated by the nearby heat, causing him to fly out of the dense mist with his sword.
Lu Wencheng immediately drew his sword with one hand to block it, looked at the pits and holes on the armor around the other party, and suddenly smiled: "I thought that General Zuo would be able to survive unscathed, relying on his own cultivation, but I didn't expect that the armor was stronger." β
"Lord Lu's spells are very good, so I naturally know it. I just don't know, do you remember the duel with me on the gossip platform that summer?"
"Oh, how can you be so decent, and suddenly ask about this?"
"Because from that day on, I began to work hard to fight the sword in order to one day defeat you. Dugu Ye suddenly said: "After many years, how far can a genius like you cultivate swordsmanship? β
"Relying on the sword to talk about the fame of the mountain, how much cold and snow no one knows? The current opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why don't you and I compete here?"
"This is also what I like, look at the sword. Dugu Ye stepped forward quickly, only to see the sword qi surging, like a wave rising frequently. Lu Wencheng, on the other hand, turned sideways, and the sword light shook slightly in front of him.
The two sides moved to the fencing as fast as thunder, and the two fighting figures suddenly came and went, and there were no less than hundreds of rounds of swords, but they were always up and down. Surrounded by ruins, the branches and leaves are broken.
Later, Dugu Ye suddenly put away his sword and retreated, and with one hand, he smiled slightly: "Immortal Law, Black Burning Day." But when he saw the black light from his palm reach the firmament, the blood and fire began to burn the clouds of fish scales in the sky. A huge black sun appeared above everyone's heads, as if the end times were coming.
"Aren't you crazy! Do you know how many innocent soldiers will die if you cast such a spell on the Tiger Tomb in Pingchuan? There are also warriors of the demon clan here. β
"In that case, then be merciful and save them all. β
"Ah Ye, you have really changed a lot. Immortal Law Luoying Ten Miles. Lu Wencheng frowned slightly, and then pulled out the Wood Demon Book from his palm, using this to urge the artifact Crimson Peach Wood behind him.
After that, I saw thousands of peach trees rising from the ground and suddenly spreading their branches. For a time, the flowers bloomed for ten miles, and the peach blossoms filled the sky. The peach trees that cover the plains form an enchantment with crimson peach trees as an array of eyes, so as to protect all the creatures in the land of Tiger Tomb.
When the black sun fell, it burned a large peach forest, and Lu Wencheng immediately bleed from the corner of his mouth, and then secretly pinched and cast a spell, continuously drawing spiritual power from the scarlet peach tree, so that the peach trees destroyed by the fire suddenly withered and grew new branches and leaves rapidly, until its heat was exhausted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dugu Ye immediately stabbed at him with a sword. Lu Wencheng's injured left shoulder was suddenly bleeding, and he had to hold the other party's sword blade and retreat for the time being.
However, at this time, he suddenly noticed that a stone base with lotus patterns appeared under his feet, and when he was about to flee from the wind, the dense eaves of the square stupa immediately fell from the sky.
The burning tower resembles a pillar of fire, and the figure trapped in it is faintly visible between the bright gates of the tower, and then gradually disappears in the firelight. And Dugu Ye looked at the fire tower in front of him, as if he had seen something from the firelight, but he did not reveal the slightest sadness and joy.
Who would have thought that Lu Wencheng stood on the crown of the peach blossom tree with his arms crossed, and calmly asked the other party: "Could it be that in your heart, my death is a thing to be thankful for?"
"Is it the forbidden technique of the great god Hanyu, the golden cicada shedding its shell?" Dugu Ye recalled that when the dark sun fell, Lu Wencheng drew spiritual power from the scarlet peach wood, and the figure standing there moved slightly, and suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency's method of casting spells is really amazing." β
The two were about to fight again, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves behind them started, and they both stopped.
At this moment, the drum suddenly beat loudly, like thunder. More than 100,000 iron horses rode black horses, outflanking from the left and right wings of the Tiger Tomb.
The leader wears a demon mask with white hair and two pointed red horns. Presumably, underneath that mask, there is also a cold face. I saw him holding a whip and coiling his horse, taking advantage of the chaos to wave the dragon bone whip, and after stabbing Elder Fan Yue to death in one fell swoop, he led the whole army to expel the besieging team.
After they rendezvous with the dark demon cavalry under Dugu Ye, they came out of the corner and rushed into the enemy camp to fight back and forth. On the other hand, the Terran soldiers suffered heavy losses under the enemy's front and rear attacks, and gradually collapsed in the storm of war.
After seeing this, Lu Wencheng's expression was suddenly shocked, and he suddenly felt a chill.
Those cavalrymen had carp tattoos on their necks on the left, and this was the most elite unit from Taichen Yizhou, the Ghost Warrior Cavalry. As for the leader who was able to kill Fan Yue in one fell swoop, the identity behind his mask was naturally self-evident.
The one who came was the god of war of the Taichen Kingdom, the right general Ying Chengyin.
