Chapter 157: The Hidden Dragon is in the Abyss
A huge figure slowly emerged from the darkness, silently staring at the faint light.
Compared to it, the dragon looked like a loach in a pond. In the face of powerless coercion, it bowed its head and prostrate on the ground, expressing unreserved submission to the huge figure.
The figure became clearer and clearer, but it was incomplete, and only two eyes could be seen. The eyes grew brighter and brighter, like two bolts of lightning, slowly sweeping around, and finally landing on the faint spiritual light.
The aura cheered and flew around the lightning, like a butterfly wearing flowers, and like a delicate child around the knee.
The surrounding turbulence stirred, as if feeling a great threat, and the water that had been gushing upwards was pulled by an invisible force, reconverging towards the aura, and injecting the aura through the four gazes.
The aura was magnificent, illuminating the huge figure, and although it was not well seen, it was able to identify the real dragon, a dragon that would make any giant feel small.
β¦β¦
Xi Zhicai stumbled and fell to the ground, angry like a gossamer.
Cao Cao took three steps and made two steps, rushed over, picked up Xi Zhicai, and was just about to speak. As soon as his hand was cold, Xi Zhicai stuffed the seven-star knife in his hand, looked at the next 61 drums, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, his lips were dyed blood-red, and he moved indistinctly.
Cao Cao put his ear to Xi Zhicai's mouth, listened to a few words, and suddenly frowned: "Tang Oath"? β
Xi Zhicai nodded weakly and pushed Cao Cao. Cao Cao got up, and while letting people carry Xi Zhicai back to the big tent, he ran to the 61st drum. He was shocked in his heart. Although he is not a great Confucian, he has read "Shangshu", but he would never have thought that the spell used by Xi Zhicai was actually "Tang Oath".
However, it makes perfect sense. "Tang Oath" is the military order of Shang Tang during the summer war. What shocked Cao Cao was that no one thought that "Shangshu" would be a spell, even if he had studied "Shangshu" all his life, he probably couldn't think of this.
Cao Cao forcibly suppressed the surprise in his heart, cut a knife in the palm of his hand, and printed the bloody handprint on the 61 drum. "There is Xia Duo's sin, and the destiny of heaven is urgent. Fear God, and dare not ...... wrong"
Before the words fell, the drum beat suddenly changed. It becomes more vigorous and intense. Cao Cao was shocked. His legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground, but thanks to his good martial arts, he took a step back. Only then did he stabilize his figure.
Xi Zhicai laughed silently. More blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
Cao Cao was stunned. With great joy in his heart, he ran to the 61 drums below. He is quicker than Xi Zhi, and he is stronger than Xi Zhicai. The speed of smearing was several times faster, and in less than a moment, he had painted all the remaining forty-odd 61 drums with bloody handprints. The drum beat loudly, several times stronger than before, soaring into the sky, and the earth shook the mountains.
Cao Cao returned to Xi Zhicai, put away the seven-star knife, held Xi Zhicai's hand, looked at Xi Zhicai carefully for a moment, and saw that although Xi Zhicai's breath was weak, it was quite stable, so he breathed a sigh of relief. "Zhicai, I'm done."
"Do you feel anything?" Xi Zhicai opened his eyes and held Cao Cao back, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a hot palm. He looked down and saw that he and Xi Zhicai were holding hands, and the blood in their palms was mixed together, making a loud sound. He was surprised, and before he could react, his eyes suddenly turned red, and the mountains, which were originally just black shadows, became extremely clear, with grass and trees in full view. It was a moment before the night gathered again.
"Drama Zhi, I ......"
"God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know." Xi Zhicai let go of his hand and smiled slightly.
Cao Cao grinned and smiled. He slapped Zhicai's hand: "You don't live up to me, I don't live up to you." β
β¦β¦
Guan Yu jumped like thunder and scolded: "Xi Zhicai, this sour ding, is it okay?" β
Liu Bei squeezed to the entrance of the cave, looked at the water surface hovering more than ten feet under his feet, and was speechless for a while. The water rose less than three feet again, and then stopped again, and after a long time, it did not rise an inch. He didn't know what was going on, but he didn't get angry like Guan Yu, he believed that Xi Zhicai had done his best.
People are not gods after all, not to mention that Xi Zhicai is just a scholar, and it is not easy for him to do this.
"Yun Chang, this is the will of heaven, manpower is sometimes poor, but the sky is endless."
Guan Yu said angrily: "I don't care what providence or manpower he has, I must kill Liu Wei and grab this first credit." He pushed Liu Bei behind him early, lifted the warship behind him with one hand, and shook it hard. Like a fallen leaf, the warship flew out of the cave, flew more than ten paces away, and fell into the water.
Guan Yu turned his head and roared angrily: "Everyone, come with me!" After speaking, he carried the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, jumped into the water, rowed twice, turned over and got on the boat, didn't care about wiping the water on his face, and shouted: "Come down, jump down for me." β
Liu Bei was shocked, but Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and pushed the stunned soldiers down with a shout. The warriors were caught off guard and fell into the water one after the other like hinges. Forced to have no choice, they had to swim to the warship and get on the ship one after another.
When the night breeze blew, it was cold to the bone, and every soldier was shivering from the cold. Guan Yu was completely fine, and shouted loudly: "Boating, drumming, I want to kill Liu Wei and grab the first credit." β
The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and they took their positions one after another and paddled hard. The warship adjusted its direction and sped away towards Liu Wei.
Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife upside down in his right hand, pulled his long beard in his left hand, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Liu Wei in the distance.
Behind him, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei did not dare to slack off, and successively pushed the warship into the water and killed Liu Wei.
β¦β¦
Sun Jian saw Guan Yu's tall figure from a distance, and couldn't help but sneer: "Ignorant horseman, just with the piece of mortal iron in his hand, he also wants to kill the evil dragon?" He stroked the Wu knife and smiled faintly: "Push the warship into the water, and we will also set off, but don't be too anxious, and let Guan Yu try Liu Wei's true colors, and we will come from behind and decide the outcome of the battle." β
"Whoa!" Huang Gai laughed, pushed the warship into the water, and arched his hand to Sun Jian: "Fujun, let me go first." He arched his hand to Cheng Pu again, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhongde, you are the first to ride the battle, but I am the strongest in the water battle, so I will take the lead." β
Cheng Pu smiled slightly: "Be careful." β
"It doesn't matter." Huang Gai rolled over and swam to the warship.
β¦β¦
"Crossbowmen, prepareβ" Xun Yu shouted loudly, and countless forbidden army soldiers raised their crossbows and pointed at the warships coming from both sides. Halfway up the mountainside to hide the warship, this thing is indeed weird enough, but there are too many strange things encountered today, they have become numb, and the only thing left in their brains is to obey the order and protect His Majesty, Xun Yu gave the order, and they raised their bows and crossbows.
Xun You stared at the rapidly approaching warship for a while, and stared at Liu Wei for a while. Liu Wei is still in place under the protection of Konoe Lang, but he is now completely submerged in the water, and he has not seen him show his head for a long time. Xun You didn't even know if he was still alive, he could only believe that he was still alive, and only in this way would he have the courage to fight.
Of course, Liu Wei is still alive, but he doesn't know if he is still alive.
He was clear about everything around him, but he didn't want to react in any way. His entire mind was in the depths of the Dragon Abyss, fighting against that growing force.
He could feel that there was a stronger force flowing into it, and even the real dragon could not be suppressed lightly for a moment. This power was even more intense and stronger, and even in the depths of the icy dragon abyss, he could feel the heat emanating from this power.
His emotions were a little uneasy, and that little bit of aura also flickered a little. The sudden heat did not make the aura brighter, but showed signs of extinguishing it.
Liu Wei was immersed in his consciousness, immersed in the depths of the dragon abyss, he didn't see that his body trembled slightly, and the water surface rippled, round and round, and countless bubbles appeared, like water about to boil.
The guard standing in front of him clenched the weapon in his hand and stared at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, and no one noticed this. But Wei Guan, who was standing beside him, saw it. He held his breath and stretched out his hand, wanting to lift Liu Wei out of his hand. These bubbles made him feel that Liu Wei might be drowned.
As soon as his fingers touched the water, he stopped. He thought the bubbling water was surprisingly cold, even colder than ice. He gathered his eyes and looked beneath the surface of the water by the light of the fire around him.
He saw Liu Bian's face, saw Liu Bian's black knife in front of his knee, and saw the dragon egg that Liu Biao held in the palm of his hand and placed in front of his abdomen. He saw that the dragon egg was split in Liu Wei's hand, and it seemed that a black shadow swam out of the dragon egg, swam around the broken dragon egg twice, and suddenly flicked its tail and disappeared into the water.
Wei Guan was shocked, and his heartbeat stopped instantly.
β¦β¦
The huge figure shuddered, and suddenly shrank sharply, shrinking to only a tenth of its original size.
Liu Wei finally saw the whole picture.
It's a black dragon, and it might not be accurate to say black - it's a color that sucks up all the light. In the depths of the dark dragon abyss, there was no figure to be seen, only the pulsation brought by its stirring of the abyssal water. It swam slowly around that bit of aura, and the huge dragon's tail stirred the current, and the current pressed over like a mountain, shaking his body.
The fiery force was separated by the flow of water, and Liu Wei calmed down again, so cold that it was almost dead silent. The dragon's eyes became more and more indifferent, and the original gentleness disappeared incompletely, leaving only indifference. An icy chill rose from the depths of the dragon abyss, almost frozen. The flickering aura did not move, and stopped quietly in the space, as if waiting for something. The black dragon swam unhurriedly around the aura, as if it was about to swim until the end of time. Every time I swim around, the aura is brighter, and gradually people dare not look directly.
Suddenly, that bit of spiritual light skyrocketed hundreds of times, shining brightly, bright and cold, without a trace of human energy.
Liu Wei's eyes were snow-white, empty, and physically and mentally cold. It's extremely bright and cold to the extreme, but it confuses all beings, making people reluctant to take their eyes off for a moment. It's like the black dragon that sucks up everything in the world, endlessly...... (To be continued......)
