Legend has it that in ancient times, the whole world and the land in all directions were all cold worlds. Within the universe, there is only white snow and ice that does not melt for thousands of years. All life is either extinct or locked in ice and snow, dormant for eternity. Rivers, lakes and seas, even endless oceans, are all covered with ice and snow and frozen, connected to the land, and can no longer be separated from each other. Such a world is called: Ice World.

At the same time, according to the old legend, the Zhen clan of the Zhou family's god skill "No Frost Technique" in Wuyang City, as long as you cultivate to the point where you really reach the peak of the Extreme Realm, you can climb to a peak realm called "Glacier Extreme Realm". Everything in heaven and earth can be frozen with a snap of a finger.

However, the so-called "Ice Peak Realm" is really just an ethereal and unattainable legend. Because in the last chapter of the "No Frost Secret" secret book, where it should have been recorded how to cultivate the Glacier Extreme Realm Mental Method, there were only twenty-eight words as simple as that. Is:

Life is not life, death is not death, life is death, life is life. This is not the original, the end is not the end, the original is the end, and the end is returned.

These 28 words seem to be incomprehensible, just like playing a dumb riddle. Therefore, since the Zhou family got this secret book, although with the internal strength and mental method recorded in the first few chapters of the secret book, coupled with the exquisite and sharp sword moves of the "Ice Blade Sword", they have been able to stand alone in the world, establish the great business of Wuyang City, and become one of the eight great families in the rivers and lakes. But no one has ever been able to cultivate the "Ice Extreme Realm" through these 28 words.

Countless smart and erudite people, talented people, even if they have worked hard all their lives, have never been able to understand the mystery, and in the end they can only cry out in vain and die with hatred.

Three years ago, after being defeated by the sword of the autumn night rain, Zhou Xueyu no longer walked on the rivers and lakes, but returned to Wuyang City to retreat and practice. Unless there is something important and has to be brought forward by him, the city lord, he can't say half a step from Wuyang City, and even the door of the practice secret room can not be opened once in a few months.

Zhou Xueyu forgot to sleep and eat so much, just because he wanted to understand the secret of the "Ice River Extreme Realm". However, after three years of hard cultivation, although the cultivation broke through the limits of the predecessors, the length of the Ice Blade Sword was enhanced to the seven-foot realm that had never been seen before. However, it is clear that there is still no way to break through the final hurdle and truly climb the legendary "Ice Extreme".

It wasn't until the King of Extinction came to Wuyang City and found Zhou Xueyu that the dumb riddle was solved.

The Extinction King came to Wuyang City, of course, not specifically to solve the mystery for Zhou Xueyu. He created Wuyang City originally, and defeated the soldiers of the Zhou family in the city, as well as all the Dharma Protector Elders and Keqing Offerings, but did not harm a single person's life. finally alarmed Zhou Xueyu, who was in retreat in the secret room.

As the city lord, Zhou Xueyu has the obligation to protect the children of Wuyang City from outsiders. Although after seeing the skills of the Extermination King, he knew that he was by no means the opponent of the Extermination King, but he still couldn't help fighting. But the King of Extermination didn't fight Zhou Xueyu, he just wanted to say a few words to him in private.

The two then entered the secret room where Zhou Xueyu practiced and closed the door. What exactly the two said, no third person knows. But the two didn't talk for long. In just one hour of tea, the iron door of the secret room was opened. Zhou Xueyu, who walked out of it again, knelt down to the King of Extermination in public, and called him the lord.

Since the city lord has surrendered, everyone in the city naturally has no choice, so they have to follow Zhou Xueyu and pay tribute to the King of Extermination. The Zhou family of Wuyang City, one of the eight great families of martial arts, turned into the help of the King of Extermination. The strong and dangerous Wuyang City has also become the base and base camp of the Extermination King.

The cultivation of the Extinction King is very high, no matter how it is arranged and calculated, it will definitely be among the top five in the world, and maybe it will be able to enter the top three. What's even more coincidental is that the King of Extermination himself has a dual cultivation of ice and fire. The two great masters of Ice Spirit Cold Light Power and Golden Light Fire Gong were already famous all over the world thirty years ago. It is rare to have such a big master, and Zhou Xueyu will naturally not let go of the heaven-sent opportunity. So he took out the ancestral secret of "no frost" and asked the King of Extermination for advice.

In the past hundreds of years, the "frost-free recipe" has been the secret of the Zhou family. All the masters of the Zhou family are cultivating this divine skill that is extremely yin and cold. Its cultivation is high and low, but its upper limit has never reached the level of the "Ice Extreme Realm". Climbing from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, every step of the way is extremely difficult.

But with the cultivation of the Extermination King, of course, he has already stood on the top of the mountain. When he reaches this realm, when he looks back at the road up the mountain, he will naturally feel very relaxed. Therefore, the King of Extermination only deliberated for most of the hour before he stood up and laughed loudly. The secret of the "Ice Extreme Realm" has been completely revealed.

It turned out that the real gist of cultivating the "Ice Extreme Realm" was only one sentence. It is to "put the place of death and live after". Cultivators need to first urge the "No Frost Technique" cold true qi that they have cultivated to seal their second vein. In this way, he entered the state of suspended death of turtle breath. Then he had to break the seal on his own, so that the cold true qi would be dissolved, and the blood would flow again, and he would come back from the dead.

After this cultivation of being born and dying, half dead and half alive, the cultivator's body can condense into an "ice spirit". After that, you only need to cultivate it carefully, and gradually grow this ice spirit, and if you want to enter the real "Ice Extreme Realm", it will be a matter of course, and there will be no difficulty at all.

However, blocking his second vein with his cold true qi is too dangerous. Among the thousand cultivators, not necessarily one person will be able to break through the prohibition he has imposed on him and truly bring the dead back to life. On the contrary, no matter how hard a cultivator tries, he can't break through the ban, and finally the situation of fake death turning into real death is even more logical.

The master who founded the "frost-free formula" was named "Qilin Hidden Man". He has a special physique and great talent. That's why he was able to create a peculiar method for cultivating the "Ice River Extreme Realm", and he stepped into that realm smoothly.

But this master also knew that most of the later cultivators did not have such a physique as himself. If they also rashly come to a self-styled meridian, in fact, it is normal that they cannot cultivate. To be able to cultivate it, it is strange.

In order to avoid the unjust tragic death of future generations, the Qilin Hidden Hero wrote down the twenty-eight words that seemed to be incomprehensible and lived like a riddle. In this way, those with mediocre qualifications cannot bring about their own destruction. However, those who truly have great wisdom and courage still have the opportunity to solve the mystery and comprehend the profound and subtle realm of the ultimate realm of "frost-free formula".

After the Exterminating King Kan broke the secret, he explained the mystery to Zhou Xueyu in detail. Zhou Xueyu just tried it a little, and immediately understood that with his qualifications, he couldn't even pass the level of self-sealing meridians, let alone unseal himself after the turtle breath faked his death. If you want to rely on your own strength to cultivate the "Ice River Extreme Realm", after all, it is just a fool's dream.

But if you can't ask for yourself, you can still ask for it from outside. It's like the Demon Saint Calendar, who can't rely on his own strength to cultivate the "Dao Fetus Demon" of the Demon Gate, so he came up with the method of finding the Ding Furnace and seizing other people's Dao Fetus to give birth to his own Demon Seed, and this finally came to fruition.

Zhou Xueyu couldn't practice the "Ice River Extreme Realm" by himself, but with the help of the Extinction King, everything became different again. At that moment, the King of Extermination personally took action to help Zhou Xueyu self-proclaim the meridians. Then waited for a full six hours, until he realized that Zhou Xueyu really couldn't support it, and was about to change from fake death to real death, the King of Extermination took action again, helped Zhou Xueyu break the ban and unsealed, and then pushed the palace for him, and finally came back to life.

After such a toss, Zhou Xueyu really succeeded in condensing the "ice spirit" that is the most yin and cold in the world. After a few days of recuperation, the highest level of the "frost-free formula" that has been lost for hundreds of years has finally been able to reappear in the dust. And Zhou Xueyu also soared into the sky. Officially among the top masters in the world. Under the command of the King of Extermination, a general has also been officially added.

The King of Extermination was imprisoned for thirty years in the prison of "Invisible Heavens". In the past 30 years, in addition to practicing, what he thought about day and night was nothing more than what he should do after he got out of trouble one day, so that he could get back what he had lost step by step.

Therefore, this time he really got out of trouble and reappeared, and the King of Extermination had already made a plan in his chest. Everything is also going according to plan and in an orderly manner.

The first step of the King of Extermination was to rob the Son of Heaven. Then he used the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch to find the four heavenly demons of the Demon Gate Extreme Dao Sect, and then contacted the four heavenly kings of the Demon Gate Wuxiang Sect. Let Zuo Wuwei plus the Demon God, the Demon Immortal, and the Doljia Heavenly King and other masters, go to the east road to attack the East Fort.

Immediately afterwards, the King of Extermination asked the demon and a small number of demon disciples to go to the west road. Forge the illusion that a demon gate is also attacking Xizhen. But in fact, it was just a false shot, and he took the Right Wuwei and the Nine Shadows Divine Monarch, as well as the Erotic Heavenly King Banchabana, to the North City together.

After subduing Zhou Xueyu, the King of Extermination ordered Zhou Xueyu to lead the soldiers of Beicheng, plus the rebels of the Right Guard, to send troops to attack Renzhiguan together.

Zhou Xueyu, who has cultivated the "Ice River Extreme Realm", really lives up to expectations. After the three generals who persuaded the surrender to stop the pass failed, they made a decisive move and killed the three generals. And successfully took down the human stop pass and dedicated it to the King of Extermination.

The King of Extermination swaggered and entered the human gate. Zhou Xueyu and the Dharma Protector Elders of Beicheng, as well as Keqing Worship, etc., went separately to collect and rectify the soldiers who stopped the pass, and at the same time took over the defense of the city. After working for about half a day, everything was done.

Zhou Xueyu took the Tiger Talisman of the General Soldier in his hand and came to return to the King of Extermination. The Extinction King, who was sitting in the main hall of the main hall of Guancheng with his eyes closed, saw Zhou Xueyu coming, and immediately nodded. Then he accepted the tiger talisman and praised: "Xue Yu, well done." It is really a great blessing for this king to have your help. ”

Zhou Xueyu said respectfully: "It's just a little thing." The lord praised falsely, and Xue Yu was ashamed. ”

The King of Extermination stood up and said, "Now that everything is ready, it is time to go and greet our distinguished guests." Xue Yu, come with this king. Not much to say, he raised his hand, pulled the cloak on his body, and walked out.

Zhou Xueyu hurriedly followed from behind. The two of them climbed the wall of Renzhiguan again, one after the other, but came to the north wall on the side facing the grassland desert. Leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, the two of them felt refreshed at the same time.

The King of Extermination sighed: "But let the dragon city fly general, and do not teach Huma to cross the Yin Mountain." Hey~ Even though General Fei is powerful, he can only defend himself. And there is only one flying general, but between the Central Plains and the desert, there is a border that stretches for 10,000 miles. How can General Fei cover up thoroughly? No matter how powerful he is, he can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. ”

Zhou Xueyu bowed his head and said: "What the prince said is extremely true. Therefore, his subordinates didn't like the flying general Li Guang very much since he was a child, but he admired the general Wei Qing and the champion Hou Huo to get sick. It was these two who took the initiative to wave their troops to attack the grassland, which reversed the strong and weak offensive and defensive momentum between the Han and the Xiongnu, and laid the foundation for the great martial arts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. ”

The King of Extermination smiled slightly: "It's a pity that the grassland is too vast and the desert is too spacious. Although there are many Xiongnu, they are placed on this grassland desert, which is tantamount to a drop in the ocean. Even if there are more troops in the Central Plains, it is impossible to annihilate all these barbarians on the grassland. There will always be fish that slip through the net.

Moreover, the army did not move, and the grain and grass went first. The Central Plains army is different from the barbarians on the grassland, and every time it goes out, it costs countless money and food. The short-term war can still be sustained, but if the war is fought for a long time, the national treasury will not be able to bear it for the first time. In the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the people of the world were exhausted, and although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was eloquent, he also had to make an edict against himself, precisely because of this. ”

Zhou Xueyu suddenly said: "I see. I've always been weird in the past. Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fight the Xiongnu and win successive battles, but in the end he still needed to issue an edict to punish himself? But my lord, according to this theory, will the Central Plains never be able to completely destroy the enemy in the desert?"

The Exterminating King smiled lightly, "Of course not. However, there is not necessarily only one way to destroy the enemy. Sometimes, if you think from a different perspective and from a different direction, you may be able to make new discoveries. Hehe, this road doesn't work, so why go another way?"

Zhou Xueyu bowed and said, "Yes." The teachings of the Lord must be taken to heart by his subordinates. ”

The King of Extermination waved his hand and said, "There is no need to say these words of praise for merit and virtue. Xue Yu, it's almost time. Signal. ”

Zhou Xueyu's eyebrows showed an extremely excited and nervous expression. He nodded vigorously and said in a condensed voice, "Yes." Do as the Lord commands. He took two steps back, reached into his bosom, took out a cylindrical salute, raised it high into the sky, and then lit it with a fire breaker.

I only heard a "呯~" explosion, and a little dazzling meteor was shot out of the salute, and it rushed into the air. Then it exploded "bang~". The fireworks scattered in all directions, and they just condensed into a huge "extinguish" word in mid-air. Although it was still daytime, this huge word "extinguished" hung high in the sky, within a radius of more than ten miles, no matter how far or near, it was clearly visible.

After a while, I saw a little fireworks rising in the northern grassland. Then farther away, a third firework is raised. And so on little by little, and so on. In just an instant, the news had spread to at least hundreds of miles away.

The King of Extermination pressed his hands on the battlements, his deep gaze looking into the depths of the grassland, his body like a rock, and he remained still. I don't know what he's thinking. After Zhou Xueyu let off the fireworks, he also took back the fire fold casually, and stood behind the King of Extermination with his hands down, waiting patiently.

The waiting time does not take too long. About half an hour later, the earth suddenly shook slightly. Immediately afterward, the rumbling sound of the tides of the sea spread rapidly to the ears as the ground moved. After a few moments, the roar became stronger and stronger, as if countless scorched thunders formed a huge wave in the sky, rushing towards the side of the people.

On the distant horizon, a black line appeared in response. The black line approached like a huge wave, and its outline became clearer and clearer. Finally, when the people stopped, all the soldiers could already see clearly. What kind of waves are these?

A sturdy war horse, carrying an even more sturdy knight on his back. They wore felt hats, scimitars at their waists, horned bows, and quivers hanging from their saddles, in which were arrows with ominous luster. The body is covered in pitch-black leather armor. It is the famous "Black Wolf Army" in the desert. All they could do was blood and corpses. Where their hooves go, they will always be ruined and destroyed. In the minds of many people, the symbol of this army is death!

However, although the "Black Wolf Army" is elite and fierce, there are never many of them, only 10,000 places, and whenever a Black Wolf sergeant dies in battle, it will immediately be replenished from among the warriors of the entire Qiyan clan. Let the number always be kept at 10,000. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems as if it is an army that will never be truly wiped out. Its nickname of "Immortal Army" also comes from this.

As the first line of defense in the northern part of the Central Plains, the number of times the soldiers in the pass fought with the Black Wolf Army has already been too many to count. It can be said that the two sides are a pair of old enemies, mortal enemies.

Goodbye to the Black Wolf Army at this moment, although the Renzhiguan has just changed hands, the soldiers in the pass are still subconsciously vigilant. There was no need for anyone to give any orders, just to act according to inertia, and the whole person was ready for battle immediately. As long as the Black Wolf Army dares to crash into it, it is guaranteed that they will hit their heads on the spot like they have tried countless times before.

However, while on guard for battle, the soldiers and officers in the Renzhi Pass also felt very strange. Because as we all know, the number of the Black Wolf Army is only 10,000. Although it is very elite, the number of troops is small after all. And the beggars, like all the overlords who once dominated the grassland desert in the past, are only good at field warfare like a swift wind and thunder. But when it comes to attacking cities, it's not their forte.

Even the city walls of ordinary inland small counties, if the Black Wolf Army wants to take it, they must pay a heavy price to do it. Even if all the 10,000 black wolf troops die under the wall, they can't shake the people at all.

Therefore, in the past, when the beggars attacked, they had to pioneer a large number of servant troops to ascend first, so as to consume the troops and equipment in the pass. Wait until it's almost consumed. The Black Wolf Army will be dispatched. As long as the damage exceeds a certain percentage, the Black Wolf Army will not hesitate to retreat, and will not drag mud and water.

But right now, outside of the human stop, there is only the Black Wolf Army, and there is no trace of any servant army. What's going on here? Could it be that the beggars have developed some powerful new weapons that can allow the Black Wolf Army to attack people without relying on the servant army?

I couldn't help but think about it, and in the blink of an eye, the Black Wolf Army was already approaching the place where Zhizhi was only about a mile away. Suddenly, there was a whistle, and tens of thousands of troops at the same time restrained their horses and stopped advancing. But at the same time, there were thirteen particularly majestic and fierce horses, carrying thirteen knights wearing black cloaks and covering their faces with hoods, and Shi Shiran rode out.

Outside the wall on the north side of Renzhiguan, there is a ditch that is three zhang wide and five zhang deep. Beneath the trenches, countless sharpened trees were arranged. Although, this kind of trench is actually not a real master. But if an ordinary soldier unfortunately falls into it, either falling to death or being stabbed to death, there is no third way to choose.

In an instant, I saw that the thirteen horsemen and horses came to the front of the trench, and they all stopped their horses. Naturally, they are arranged in a shape similar to an arrow. The one at the top of the arrow slowly raised his head and looked over the pass. At the same time, he also reached out and pulled his hood open, completely revealing his true face in broad daylight.

I saw that this man was about forty years old, and he wore a fur hat on his head, but he had skinned the whole wolf. The eyes are shining, and the edge is revealed. Two short haircuts on his lips. The whole person showed a powerful momentum that was not angry but mighty.

Zhou Xueyu practiced the "Glacier Extreme Realm", and his cultivation was so high that he was already a rare top master at that time. But even so, when his gaze suddenly met the person's gaze, Zhou Xueyu still couldn't help but feel a shock all over, only to feel his heartbeat like a beat, and like a thorn in his back, naturally, there was a very strong sense of uneasiness and fear.

On the grassland desert, it is obvious that someone who can have such a powerful and domineering spirit can only be one person! And this person is ......

"The Great Khan of the Desert Realm, the head of the thirteen wings of Qiyan, the blue wolf Tie Mu is really here. Whoever invites Ben Khan to meet him, please show up. ”

The King of Extermination looked solemn and took a step forward. Luck raised his voice, and Lang Lang said: "This king is the crown prince of the Great Wei Dynasty in the Central Plains, a hundred miles of Xiangyu." You are Tie Muzhen, the beggar's wolf Khan, fortunately. ”

"Hmm, you are the King of Extermination!" the blue wolf Tie Mu Zhenyuan's eyes widened, and in his pupils, there was a fierce light. An unprecedentedly powerful battle intent erupted violently. The remaining twelve winged people around him also seemed to be unable to resist such a powerful momentum, and they all rode their horses to the left and right to avoid it.

The horse's hooves had not yet stopped, and he only heard a long roar from the sky of the blue wolf Tie Muzhen, his body was like a sharp arrow off the string, and he took off in response to the sound, and suddenly rushed to the level of the city wall of Renzhiguan. He shouted: "It is rumored that the King of Extermination is the number one master of Great Wei? It's a good time, eat Ben Khan's punch first!

Before the cheers fell, the blue wolf Tie Muzhen suddenly burst into flames. His whole body was wrapped in flames, and he slammed into the sky to kill the King of Extermination on the Human Stop. The giant arm clenched his fist, and he couldn't help but say that it was a punch that burst out, the momentum was like a meteor in the sky, and the god of fire came into the world, as if he was going to smash the King of Extinction and this person with one punch!
