Troubled Times Chapter 32 The Chu Army is Coming

"Oh, I see, then I can try to condense two at the same time next time. Li Qiutong nodded.

Even Ren Xingtian was helpless at this time, and he didn't know what to say.

"However, the eldest brother's martial arts are indeed magical, and there is no way to do it. "Fortunately, Yang Ruiyun has long accepted Li Qiutong's perversion.

"Then I wish the three heroes a great success, and the poor road will leave first. With that, Ren Xingtian was about to leave.

Suddenly, there was a noisy voice outside, "Run, the Chu army is attacking the city, everyone flee." ”

A few people who were surprised hurriedly came to the street, and Ren Xingtian's expression was the most nervous.

At this time, the streets were chaotic, with people on horseback, walking, and cars, all kinds of transportation. The old and the young, fleeing in one direction in groups.

Ren Xingtian grabbed a fleeing citizen and asked urgently: "Uncle, what's going on, how could the Chu army attack Beacon City?"

"Oh, who knows! They broke through the gate to the east of the city, and the defending army was gone. We need to run as fast as possible, or they'll be killed. The old man said hastily, and after saying that, he took his simple luggage and ran out of the city.

The number of people fleeing on the street is not very large, after all, there is basically no garrison in Beacon City, once the city is broken, there is only a dead end, in order to survive, almost everyone fled in the direction of Jietian City, after all, there are a large number of troops stationed, enough to resist the Chu army to protect them.

After listening to the old man's words, Ren Xingtian silently stood in place and thought: No, the Beacon City has no resources, and the geographical location is not superior, how could the Chu State suddenly attack the city, there is no warning at all. Wait a minute, is there anything in the east of the city. I definitely overlooked something.

"Big brother, I'll run away too. After all, this doesn't have much to do with us," Yang Ruiyun said.

Li Qiutong thought about it and decided to flee with the crowd, after all, the safety of Zhou Guo had nothing to do with them. After nodding in agreement, Li Qiutong turned around to find Ren Xingtian again, ready to take him with him, but the main purpose was actually to find a way to find a way.

"Brother Ren, let's run away quickly. It's safer if we're together. (The author complained: Li Qiutong didn't pay for the meal.) )

"It's a beacon monument. Ren Xingtian suddenly shouted loudly, making the three of them stunned for a while.

"What monument?" Li Qiutong could only ask.

"Beacon Monument, the purpose of the Chu State must be the Beacon Monument. ”

Seeing that he was so excited, Yang Ruiyun approached and asked, "What is the Beacon Monument?"

Ren Xingtian calmed down at this time and explained: "The Beacon Monument is a stone monument standing in the eastern part of the Beacon City, and its history is extremely long, enough to trace back to the Age of the Gods. It is rumored that during the period of the gods, there was a demon beast that was desolate and cruel and plagued the common people, and she was in cahoots with Yin Shang at that time, making the people of the world miserable. After Shang was destroyed, Taoist Tianzun remembered that he was a family of divine beasts and left him alive. Then she was suppressed by the Taoist disciples at that time under the beacon monument, and used her thousand-year-old divine power to ensure that the land was smooth and to make up for her sins. Now that the seal is still there, once the Chu army breaks the seal, the entire southern part of the Zhou State will suffer a catastrophe. We must stop them. ”

"It's just a legend, Shang was a thousand years ago. Yang Ruiyun questioned.

However, the Taoist priest shook his head and said affirmatively: "This is not a legend, I once heard my master say this. Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at the three of them seriously, "Poor Dao asks the three of you to help me stop the Chu army, for the sake of the common people in the world, I must not let that demon beast escape." ”

After listening to his request, the three of them remained silent, after all, this is not a simple matter of righteousness and bravery, and even their lives may be lost.

Yang Ruiyun and Deng Zhanxuan finally looked at Li Qiutong, as if waiting for him to make an idea.

Li Qiutong looked at Ren Xingtian, who looked eager but his eyes were full of anxiety, and finally made up his mind: "We can help you, but once something happens, I will put saving my brother before saving Zhou Guoren." ”

Although this answer is not so ideal, it is too good news for Ren Xingtian.

"Thank you three brothers, I can't thank you enough. Today's events, success or failure. As long as Poor Dao is alive, I can do my best to meet your three requests. Ren Xingtian said solemnly.

"Alright, let's get over there as soon as possible. We'll talk about the rest later. didn't care about Ren Xingtian's promise, so Li Qiutong and the three of them pulled him towards the east of the city.

"You lead the way. After speaking, Li Qiutong condensed the wind bird again, carried four people, and flew towards the east of the city with wings.

At this time, next to the beacon monument.

"Is this what Han Xin said about the Beacon Monument?" asked a man on a black war horse.

"Report to the king, this is the Beacon Monument. The soldier on the side, who was also riding a heavily armed warhorse, replied.

"Then go ahead and destroy this thing. ”

"Great King, this has the protection of the enchantment that Taoism once left behind, and it may take a little time. ”

The man called the Great King nodded and said impatiently, "As soon as possible." ”

"Yes. ”

When the Chu army began to attack the military formation, the four had just flown into the air.

"In other words, when did the Shang Kingdom be. I've never heard of it. Li Qiutong asked curiously.

Although anxious, Ren Xingtian still explained seriously: "The Shang Kingdom was almost a thousand years ago, and it is said that the main ruler of the Dongwu Continent at that time was the Shang State, and the rest were some small countries. But then there was a tyrant in the Shang Kingdom, who constantly oppressed people and caused a lot of hatred. Later, my Taoist sect could not bear the people of the world to be like this, so he concentrated all anti-Shang forces, with the Zhou State as the core, and finally completely eliminated the Shang State. And all the meritorious ministers have also been enshrined as gods and entered the divine realm, continuing to guard the Dongwu Continent. ”

Although Li Qiutong didn't understand too much, he still found a point that he cared about, "Are those martial artists called gods powerful?"

"God is not actually a warrior, or there was no warrior in that era. At that time, people cultivated by absorbing Wu Yuan, and there were no move skills. That's why they're called practitioners. Ren Xingtian explained again.

"Is there still a god now? I used to hear my grandfather say that there is no god in this world. Li Qiutong asked again.

Ren Xingtian nodded to indicate that it was correct, "Three hundred years ago, the strength of martial artists developed to the peak. Many warriors are reluctant to accept the rule of the gods. Under the leadership of one of the strongest martial artists, he slaughtered the gods and slaughtered all the gods, and there were no more cultivators from then on. This battle is also known as the War of the Gods. ”

This secret news has never even been heard of by Yang Ruiyun and the others, after all, these amazing histories are like stories, which are hard to believe.

"Is this true? How do you feel like you're kidding. Li Qiutong was skeptical.

"Of course it's true, but there are only a few ancient countries that have some bits and pieces of records about practitioners and gods. Ren Xingtian said to the three of them.

Knocking on his head, Li Qiutong sighed: "It's really a complicated relationship. I'd better figure out what's in front of me first. ”

Cultivator is actually a kind of cultivation method that has been eliminated by martial artists, because there is no martial arts as the guidance of martial arts, so its entry threshold is extremely high, the requirements for people are also very high, and the cultivation period is also very long, so almost all practitioners have lived in seclusion outside the world, cultivating hard, and it can only be achieved for decades. Rumors about them rarely reach the ears of ordinary people.

It wasn't until the battle of the gods that the cultivator appeared in the eyes of the world as an immortal. However, after the end of the war, all the cultivators were eventually canonized as gods and ascended to the divine realm. Descriptions of them are also considered myths and legends.

Later, with martial arts as the guide, the martial artist who condensed the martial arts was born. Compared to cultivators, the threshold for martial artists is very low, and almost everyone can cultivate, but their achievements are different. And some powerful martial artists were finally able to step on the top of their own martial arts and have the strength to fight with the immortals. This is also an important reason why the practitioner is finally defeated.

"Brother Li, it's on the plain ahead. Ren Xingtian pointed in one direction and said.

As I looked in that direction, I was greeted by a stone monument tens of meters high, standing high in the center of a clearing. It is engraved with a strange font, which is completely different from the script commonly used on the continent today.

As a few people slowly approached the stele, everyone found that there was an army of about 500 people in black armor standing around the stele.

"But don't be an overlord iron rider. Ren Xingtian could only pray silently in his heart.

"We're ready to land. Li Qiutong reminded.

"Shall we kill it from the outside?" asked Deng Zhanxuan, who carried the giant axe to his shoulder.

Li Qiutong smiled, "Let's fall directly between them, anyway, it's about the same." ”

Yang Ruiyun said suspiciously: "If you are besieged, you won't be able to escape." ”

"Trust me, I'm going to get you out. With that, the wind bird began to descend, and the troops below also spotted the big bird in the sky.

"My lord, do you want to take him down?"

"No, he's on the move. Xiang Yu watched with interest as the wind bird slowly fell.

Immediately after, a group of people landed steadily in front of the stone monument, that is, directly in front of this black-armored unit.

The five soldiers in front rode forward and surrounded the four who had fallen from the sky.

"Who are you?" the lieutenant general just now stepped forward and asked sharply.

Li Qiutong stuck the Yin-Yang Dragon Pattern Stick on the ground and said loudly: "Come and stop your people." ”

These domineering words directly made the soldiers of the Overlord Iron Cavalry speechless for a while, and looked at the inexplicable four people like fools. After all, even the strongest martial artist in the world would not dare to put down such arrogance directly against the five hundred overlord iron horses. As the world's No. 1 army, they have this confidence.

Identifying that the troops in front of him were the Overlord Iron Cavalry, and the leader was also the person he didn't want to see, Ren Xingtian sighed helplessly, sorted out his mood, and was about to negotiate with the other party, but he was so angry by Li Qiutong's words that he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Hurriedly grabbed Li Qiutong and whispered: "Don't die, that's the five hundred overlord iron horsemen led by the overlord." ”

Also recognized the overlord was Yang Ruiyun, but in addition to shock, Yang Ruiyun was looking at the overlord in front of him more. His whole body was covered with jet-black armor, and the armor was not composed of ordinary armor pieces, but completely connected together, there was no trace of splicing, and the heavy halberd in his hand was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and it was hard to imagine how the overlord held it. When Yang Ruiyun looked into his eyes, an arrogant and domineering aura came to his face, making people directly unable to raise the idea of fighting him.

"Is he the overlord?" Deng Zhanxuan also looked at the legendary figure with a serious face, and his heart also set off turbulent waves.
