Originally, Ping Xiangjun and Shuo Guo doctors thought that Li Qiu came to help, Sima Gengjiu, and Keqing Fan Ai joined forces to fight the enemy, and Shuo Guo may not have a glimmer of life.

But who would have thought that Keqing Fan Ai abandoned Shuoguo to save his life and fled, which made their hope of seeing it hard to see shattered again.

In the days that followed, news spread that the nationals who had migrated abroad had been kept out of their borders by other nearby vassal states, and that the Assassins had succeeded in finding the Assassin Order in another country, but that the Assassins had not been able to accept the commission.

The successive blows made the monarchs and ministers of Shuo almost lose all their fighting spirit, and fell into despair.

A few days later, the Red Fire Thieves were about to attack Shuo on this day.

Shuo border, North Shuo Pass.

The cold wind was howling, it was desolate, and the walls of a blue-black city were all poured with molten iron, like a silent beast lying on the ground, guarding the people of the city with its body.

In front of the pass, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in armor looked solemn.

Ping Xiangjun wears armor inside, a crown robe outside, a sword at his waist, and a solemn expression, different from the usual gentle and generous, full of the majesty of the monarch, standing on top of the bronze chariot, his eyes are sharp and inspect the army.

"Soldiers, after the pass are our parents, wives and children, we must not allow the Red Fire Thieves to trample on our land, slaughter our parents, and kidnap our wives and children!

Today, the widows are like you, swearing to defend the Beishuo Pass, lock up the people, and break the pass!"

Ping Xiangjun suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed diagonally at the sky, and shouted angrily.

"Swear to defend Beishuo Pass to the death!" "The people who are locked up are dead, and the people who are locked up are dead!"

Hundreds of thousands of sergeants were enthusiastic and impassioned, shouting together, and their voices soared into the sky, shaking the clouds and spreading for miles!

Although Ping Xiangjun and the others were almost desperate for the outcome of this battle, it was impossible for them not to resist and let their wives and children be taken captive!

After inspecting the tens of thousands of troops, the bronze chariot where Ping Xiangjun was located stopped behind the heavy protection of the army, erected a royal flag several feet high, fluttering in the wind, and hunting!

Hundreds of thousands of sergeants began to raise their shields and prepare to deal with the impending Red Fire Thieves.

Ping Xiangjun held the sword in his hand, looked bitter, and turned to Li Qiudao, who was also standing on top of the chariot.

"Sir, the widow knows that you are a righteous person, and you are not afraid of danger to help our country, but because of the escape of Fan Ai, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, this battle has no chance of victory. ”

"The widow is the monarch of Shuo, these soldiers are all from our Shuo, and it is natural to defend the coexistence of Shuo and the country, but you are not, sir. ”

"If there is danger, you can leave in the clouds, don't lose your life because of our Shuo Kingdom. ”

At first, he wanted to use the gratitude of the people of Shuo to keep Li Qiu and make him embarrassed to leave, because he saw a glimmer of hope to resist Zhanxiong and the Red Fire Thieves and make Shuo Guo survive this catastrophe.

But with Fan Ai's hope of escaping, it has become almost impossible to resist Zhanxiong and the Red Fire Thieves, and Shuo Guo is afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

If Li Qiu stays in this situation, it doesn't make any sense, but it costs Li Qiu's life in vain.

He admires Li Qiu very much, in this world, there are many people who open their mouths and close their mouths to talk about righteousness or use righteousness as a guise to achieve their goals.

There are very few people who really stick to the righteousness, and even act for the maintenance of the righteousness without fear of hardships and dangers!

If such a person can live, it will be a good thing for the whole world.

He didn't know how many years Li Qiu had lived at most, but seeing that he had not shown signs of aging, he should still be relatively young, and most of them would be able to break through to the Dharma phase stage.

At least if something similar happens in the entire north in the future, Li Qiu has the ability to stop it.

Although Shuoguo is in danger today, if Li Qiu survives, he may be able to prevent the incident of Shuoguo today.

Thinking of this, Ping Xiangjun looked sincerely, unfolded the sleeves of his robe, put his hands back on his chest, and bowed to Li Qiu solemnly.

This is a great gift for the princes of the world and the monarch of a country!

"What does this mean?"

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

Ping Xiangjun said with a sad expression.

"Sir, if you want to ask you for something, please agree. ”

"This matter is not only for our country, but also for the world. ”

"Sir, you must be able to break through to the Dharma phase period in the future, please kill Zhanxiong and destroy the red fire thieves after your strength is greatly improved in the future, one is to avenge our Shuo country, and the other is to prevent any more vassal states from suffering the same calamity as our Shuo country!"

"If you encounter danger, please leave quickly and keep yourself useful. ”

Li Qiu understood that Ping Xiangjun wanted him to agree to this matter and let him leave for a while.

He nodded.

"I'll leave if I'm in danger. If your kingdom is destroyed, I will avenge you in the future. ”

Of course, if he didn't encounter danger, he naturally didn't have to leave, and if Shuo didn't perish, he naturally didn't have to avenge Shuo.

"The widow is the world for the country, thank you, sir. ”

The earth shook, the stones on the ground began to beat, and the sound of thousands of troops and horses came from afar.

The soldiers of Shuo Guo were all nervous, their palms were dripping with a little sweat, they clenched the weapons and shields in their hands, and looked into the distance with solemn eyes.

On the chariot, Li Qiu and Pingxiangjun also turned their heads to look into the distance.

In the distance, the first to appear were the hideous chariots, followed by the foot soldiers armed with long ges and spears.

In the midst of the army, a banner several feet high, embroidered with a red flame fluttering in the wind, looked lifelike from a distance, as if it was fluttering and burning.

The same bronze chariot, in addition to the armor soldiers who drove the chariot and guarded the chariot, belonged to a middle-aged man with flying hair, burly body, ape arms and bee waist, and red complexion, like a demon god, the most eye-catching!

He was wearing battle armor and holding a halberd, both of which shimmered with a faint blue color, standing there like a mountain, exuding an unshakable and irresistible terrifying momentum, and his eyes were extremely predatory to the Shuo army.

Zhan Xiong, the leader of the Red Fire Thieves!

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

The Red Fire Thieves, their weapons and armor marched in an orderly manner, and they were basically no longer bandits who got together randomly, but a real army.

From this point, it can be seen that Zhanxiong is quite ambitious, and he is unwilling to be the leader of just a group of bandits, combined with the rumors about him.

Maybe if Zhanxiong and the Red Fire Thieves continue to develop, constantly plundering the population and increasing their strength, the Red Fire Thieves may really become the dominant Red Fire Country sooner or later, and Zhanxiong will also become the king of a country after breaking away from the bandits!

"It's a pity that Zhanxiong and his Red Fire Thief don't have a ...... future!"

Li Qiu's expression was indifferent, but a chilling glint flashed in his eyes.

The Red Fire Thieves only had an army of almost 100,000, which was much less than the tens of thousands in Shuo, but some of the 100,000 soldiers in Shuo were still afraid and afraid.

Because Zhanxiong alone is enough to kill them all, not to mention an additional 100,000 troops.

"Kill!"

There was a loud shout from the Red Fire Thieves.

A fierce-looking man waved the long Yue (Yue) in his hand and jumped off the chariot, kicked the ground and showed amazing speed, and rushed towards the Shuo army formation first, looking at his appearance, he wanted to impact the Shuo army formation with the strength of one person!

In an ordinary world, it is impatient to attack the military formation alone, but in this world with an extraordinary cultivation system, if a person's strength is strong enough, it is not difficult to say that the impact of the military formation is to slaughter a country by one person!

Wu Ji, a sword-level body refiner with the power of the Five Immortals, is the strongest among the Red Fire Thieves except for Zhan Xiong!

The people in the Red Fire Thieves turned out to be either bandits or slaves, and there were very few really strong people, so in addition to Zhanxiong, just a body refiner with the power of five dragons was enough to be called the strongest.

This is also why when Ping Xiangjun and Dr. Shuo Guo discussed, they first wanted to solve Zhanxiong at all costs or die with Zhanxiong, without considering the people under Zhanxiong at all.

Because there are no very powerful powerhouses under Zhanxiong at all.

The reason why the Red Fire Thieves can make the weak vassal states fearful is, in the final analysis, only Zhanxiong alone, if there is no Zhanxiong, any vassal state can almost wipe out the Red Fire Thieves.

Bang!

In the formation of the Shuo Army, a person wearing armor and holding a spear suddenly jumped out, brave and extraordinary, and turned into an afterimage and killed Wu Ji.

Sun Hao, the general of Shuoguo, is a body refiner with the power of the Six Heavens.

A body refiner of Wu Ji's strength, if he entered the military formation, it would be a massacre for ordinary soldiers.

On the battlefield, there are generally strong people of the same level who come forward to stop them, and the two fight alone.

Clang!

The two figures swept over more than 100 zhang, colliding together, the sound of gold and iron was deafening, the earth in a radius of several zhang under their feet collapsed and collapsed, and the air waves swept away!

The two turned into two afterimages and collided quickly, and the weapon was like thunder with a single blow, and the force shook the sky!

Sun Hao held a spear, stabbing out like lightning with great speed, and Wu Wei wielded his long sword to block his attack with difficulty.

Changyue's weapon is similar to an axe, suitable for opening and closing, and the powerful attack is not suitable for resisting, plus Sun Hao's strength is on top of Wu Yue's Wu Yue, and in just a dozen moves, Wu Yue was forced into a disadvantage, which greatly boosted the morale of Shuo's side!

But at this moment, the army of red fire thieves approached, Zhanxiong stood on the bronze chariot, looked at Sun Hao who was fighting with Wu Ji with cold eyes, and stretched out his hand suddenly.

The armor soldier on the side immediately respectfully handed over a spear.

Zhan Xiong took the spear, locked on to Sun Hao from afar, and threw it violently!

The spear turned into a cyan lightning bolt, and let out a scalp-numbing scream that tore through the sky, attacking Sun Hao fiercely!

"Be careful!"

In the formation of the Shuo State Army, Geng Jiu's face changed drastically and reminded loudly.

But in the end, it was a step too late.

Sun Hao was shocked in his heart, turned his head to look in the direction where the scream came from, and almost at the same time, the spear pierced through his chest, pierced through his chest and flew over a hundred zhang, shooting into the Shuo State army formation.

One shield after another was pierced like papier-mâché by a spear that was not stopping! Nearly 100 armor soldiers were directly killed!

There was an extra terrifying blood hole in his chest, and Sun Hao felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he couldn't help but freeze in place with a spear in his hand.

Wu Jian showed a cruel smile on his face, as if he had expected to swing the long sword in his hand!

Swish!

Sun Hao's head was cut off, and he flew out a few feet and fell to the ground and rolled far away.

The headless corpse was bleeding from its neck and fell stiffly.

"Despicable!"

Geng Jiu shouted angrily.

"Actually sneak attack from the sidelines. ”

Ping Xiangjun also looked angry, clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his knuckles turned white.

They felt that Zhan Xiong was despicable and shameless.

But he also knows that he Zhanxiong, a big man who invades countries and kills people like hemp, can't talk about benevolence and righteousness.

Seeing Wu Yu kill Sun Hao, Zhanxiong showed a cruel smile on his face, and slowly withdrew the arm that threw the spear with satisfaction.

He also knew that he didn't have any decent strong men under him, and only Wu Ji could barely handle it, so it was impossible for him to let Wu Ji be killed.

This has happened several times, and after he threw a spear and hit the other party hard, Wu Ji immediately killed the killer, and he was able to cooperate seamlessly!

"Let me kill you!"

Geng Jiu jumped out of the military formation, the earth cracked under his feet, and he held the bronze Changge in his hand, and killed Wu Ji fiercely!

The two fought, Geng Jiu was stronger than Sun Hao, and almost a single shot made Wu Ji fall into the disadvantage, and he retreated again and again to dodge.

A fierce glint flashed in Zhanxiong's eyes.

He was not ready to throw spears again, and Sun Hao's death had already made Geng Jiu on guard.

There is a big gap in strength between him and Geng Jiu, but it is not so big that even if Geng Jiu is on guard, he can kill Geng Jiu with a spear in the air!

He is ready to take action personally and kill Geng Jiu!

As the two armies got closer, the bronze chariot got closer and closer to the two men fighting.

Zhanxiong jumped off the chariot with a bronze halberd in his hand, and strode fiercely towards Geng Jiu, who was fighting with Wu Ji!

Seeing Zhanxiong jumping off the chariot, Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, and the vitality of the sky under his feet was born, condensing a dark blue auspicious cloud, supporting him to suddenly rise into the sky, tearing the cloud qi and killing Zhanxiong!

Ping Xiangjun saw Li Qiu suddenly fly out of the clouds, and his face changed drastically.

"Sir......"

He didn't understand why he had just said so much to Li Qiu, and repeatedly persuaded him not to keep his useful body for a while, why Li Qiu still rushed out and took the initiative to meet Zhanxiong.

Isn't that asking for danger?

He only hoped now that Li Qiu could retain the last trace of sanity, only attack Zhanxiong at a high altitude, and escape at any time when the situation was not good.

But the next moment, he watched Li Qiu fall lower and lower, and in the blink of an eye, he passed the safe height of fighting against a body refiner of Zhanxiong's strength.

Alas!

Ping Xiangjun remorsefully hammered the chariot and shook his head.

Zhanxiong was holding a halberd, and he wanted to kill Geng Jiu and kill him.

But suddenly he saw a figure in the distance, riding the clouds and rising at an astonishing speed, tearing the clouds and flying towards him.

He stopped, clenched his halberd, and looked at Li Qiu with a fierce gaze.

"Is it Fan Ai, the guest secretary of Shuo Kingdom?"

"But I heard that Fan Ai, the guest secretary of Shuo Kingdom, is just practicing the usual qi refining method. ”

Zhan Xiong had some doubts in his heart.

He didn't take Shuo itself seriously, and before deciding to attack Shuo, he didn't do a detailed investigation of the strong people of Shuo, but only investigated whether Shuo had anything to do with which big country, and after finding out that there was none, he set it as the target of the next raid of the Red Fire Thieves.

found that Li Qiu was a little inconsistent with the rumored characteristics of Fan Ai, and Zhanxiong didn't think much about it.

He knew that there were a few strong people in the nearby vassal states who could defeat him, and Li Qiu was not among them.

Li Qiu finally stopped at a height of more than ten zhang, and looked down at Zhanxiong on the ground with cold eyes.
