One hundred and eighty-seven chapters
A glow, a fiery red glow like a burning flame, accompanied by a huge arc of sword qi slashed through the defeated rout from the front, setting off a flash of light and a loud bang with a mesmerizing vision.
The screams and wails were like a neon phantom glow and loud noise, and the "hell" in front of "Fan Xiu" was completely achieved.
"Fan Xiu" created such a "hell" not long ago. used the only "Ground Splitting Slash" to create a small, insignificant "hell" in the eyes of a few people in the Iron Childish Army.
More than 20 people died, and the scene of stumps and broken arms flying around was like hell for Fan Xiuning Yuan, who was possessed. Later, under the continuous brutal killing, Ning Yuan's feeling began to numb and fade, because this was war.
But at this moment, Ning Yuan was a little suspicious.
Killing and being killed in war is a matter of course. Sometimes it is understandable to kill your own soldiers, such as the Warlords killing deserters, the fears, disobeyers, and so on. But even the most brutal Warlords are only small-scale killers, and no matter how brutal they are, there will be a degree.
The "hell" in front of you is completely different.
It was a murder without a purpose, and it was a torture.
Nearly 100 of the hundreds of Tiezhi Army routs were directly killed, and nearly 200 were cut off by the glorious aftermath.
Corpses, severed limbs, flying entrails, scattered blood plasma, lava ravines filled with red glow, wailing, screaming, dying whimpering, coughing, and bellows-like wheezing.
All of this constitutes "Fan Xiu" and the "hell" a few feet away in front of everyone behind him.
All the surviving Tiezhi army in front of the "Fan Xiu" department had fled to both sides crying, and at this moment, the front of the "Fan Xiu" department was in full view.
Originally, this should have been the best time for the "Fan Xiu" division to break through, because there were no enemy troops in front of them.
But "Fan Xiu" and everyone under his command subconsciously stopped.
The scene of "hell" constantly stimulated everyone's eyes, especially Ning Yuan, who was possessed by Fan Xiu, from the first time he saw his corpse that was bitten off his neck by the Qingfeng wolf and gnawed, he once again had a nauseous feeling of wanting to vomit.
Even if he himself created a little "hell" not long ago, he didn't feel as disgusting and wanted to vomit as he does now.
"Fan Xiu" or more importantly, Ning Yuan can't figure it out, why is this? Aren't they allies? Didn't they come for reinforcements? The direction of the rout of these soldiers is not where they originally gathered, is it?
Why come directly from both sides to intercept these routs? Why is the interception done in such a brutal way? Why did a ground-level cultivator insist on creating such a "hell" when he could kill everyone within his range in an instant with the strength that had been blessed to the limit?
Is Xiu Yuanjun or Fan Xiu really so important in their eyes?
If you want to provoke a war, why do you choose a small "Xiuyuan City" far away from the territory of the "Qin Alliance"?
Looking over the hell in front of him and looking at the two generals standing tall in front of the two troops that were moving horizontally from both sides and lined up a hundred zhang in front of him, Ning Yuan's mind kept circling three words "why".
A bright silver tiger head armor, a seven-foot red ring knife, a proud and indifferent handsome face, and flying half-length red hair.
Ice blue rhino shoulder armor, five-foot broken ice sword, blue hair covering blue eyes, independent posture, elegant and handsome face, evil smile is fascinating.
I have to say that the tall posture and handsome faces of the two earth-level cultivators standing proudly in front of them, as well as the unique temperament that stands out from the crowd, are very eye-catching. If there was no "hell" in front of him, Ning Yuan would definitely have an inexplicable sense of closeness to these two people for the first time.
It's a pity that this discordant and weird and terrifying scene in front of him made Ning Yuan's first sense of the two of them extremely bad. Especially the red-haired young man with a haughty look and an indifferent face.
There is no doubt that this is the maker of the "hell" in front of him. A fire-attribute Ground Rank cultivator.
The two sides watched quietly for a while, and "Fan Xiu" stepped forward, and said in a hoarse and majestic voice: "The two don't seem to be the generals of Tiezhi City?" ”
"The deputy general of the Yanliu City Flame Regiment, the fire belongs to the earth-level school-level cultivator - 'Flame Bursting Knife' Liu Yan." The arrogant and translucent voice of the red-haired youth came.
"Ice Claw City, the deputy general of the Youshui Division, the Ice Attribute Ground Rank School Cultivator - the 'Ice Shattering Sword' Cold Evil." The corners of the blue-haired handsome young man's mouth rose, revealing a charming smile of evil spirit, and continued in a voice that cooled the evil spirit.
"Fan Xiu" frowned slightly, and asked as if he was puzzled, "Yanliu City?" Ice Mantis City? It doesn't seem to be this city-state with a radius of thousands of miles, right? I don't know where the two city-states are located? And why did you meddle in this city-state war launched by Tiezhi City against my Xiuyuan City for no reason? ”
The arrogant and handsome Liu Yan and the handsome and evil Leng Xie glanced at each other, and they both chuckled.
Leng Evil smiled and said in a mocking tone: "When you are captured, you will naturally understand." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gave the order to attack.
"Fan Xiu" raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and said, "Slow!" ”
Leng Xie and Liu Yan's eyes narrowed, and Liu Yan stepped forward and said arrogantly: "What? This is going to surrender? ”
The corners of Fan Xiu's mouth twitched, revealing a sarcastic smile, and said: "If you had known at the beginning of the war that there would be so many different city-states targeting my Xiaoxiao Xiuyuan City, maybe there would have been a plan to surrender at that time. It's a pity that in this situation, the city lord can't surrender. ”
If you surrender before the battle, you only need to explain the situation to the alliance and then hand it over to the alliance to deal with. However, after the start of the war, especially when the letter for help has been issued, surrendering is a complete betrayal of the alliance, and this is the only thing that neither Fan Xiu, nor the high-level people of Xiuyuan City, nor even the earliest group of citizens of Xiuyuan City, can do.
What's more, whether it is from the initiation of the war or the intelligence collected afterwards, it shows that this war is not a question of whether to surrender or not to surrender in Xiuyuan City.
"Since you don't plan to surrender, is your 'slow' voice a death struggle?" Leng Xie surrounded his head, a flash of contempt flashed in his blue eyes, and the evil and cold voice said with a faint contempt.
Zhao Xian's face was angry, and he wanted to speak, but was stopped by "Fan Xiu".
"Fan Xiu" chuckled indifferently and said loudly: "Even if it's a dying struggle." After all, both the 'Burning Knife Soldier' and the 'Ice Swordsman' are elite characteristics, and it's normal for my little veteran of the Far City to not be able to beat them. ”
Hearing "Fan Xiu" point out the true backs of the two Qu troops lined up behind the other party, Zhao Xian and several pro-soldier captains were stunned for a moment, and immediately calmed down.
Although the combat power of everyone has been greatly improved under the high morale, and some soldiers who have just transformed from recruits to veterans have been doubled, no matter how much they are improved, they have not touched the line between elite soldiers and elites. This in itself proves that they are far from the elite.
This is also one of the reasons why "Xiuyuan City" decided to ambush in the first place.
Although the target of the ambush was the siege beast and the mountain destroyer, two forces that posed a devastating threat to the city's defense, if these two forces were divided into two forces, the focus would undoubtedly be the mountain destroyer.
The reason is not because of quantity. To tell the truth, when it comes to the destruction of the city defenses alone, the five-headed siege beast is far greater than the 100-person mountain destroyer. After all, the volume is there.
But when it comes to the degree of threat to the city's defense, the mountain destroyer is far greater than the siege beast. The reason is that the mountain destroyer is a special class.
In the Neno continent, it is necessary to look at the proportion of cultivators in this army and the proportion of cultivators in the unified profession of the army, but to distinguish whether a unit is elite or not, it is only necessary to look at whether the unit has characteristics.
There is an indicator that is close to truth in the comparison of the strength of the armies in the Nino continent, that is, in frontal combat, no non-elite or non-elite troops can definitely defeat an ordinary or even bottom-of-the-line elite army.
Note that it is any, including those units that are theoretically restrained.
Why did the ambush bring something like "blasting stone pellets" that was not very lethal directly?
In addition to the fact that the ambush location was a canyon terrain, it was also because Fan Xiu knew that it was difficult to threaten the mountain destroyers and giant beasts with the attack of the soldiers alone, even under absolutely favorable terrain conditions, and only the "Blasting Stone Pill" could threaten these two with natural power by disintegrating the mountain rocks. Of course, the loud explosion of the "Popping Stone Pill" will frighten the mild-tempered giant beast is also a reason.
Therefore, when they heard that the other party's troops were elite characteristics, everyone in Xiuyuan City completely calmed down.
Hearing "Fan Xiu" point out the troops under his command, Liu Yan and Leng Xie glanced at each other, and a trace of discoloration flashed.
"It is worthy of being from the 'Qincheng' pro-military camp, and I really have some knowledge." Liu Yan took a step forward and said proudly, "It's a pity that it's just a personal soldier." ”
Ning Yuan, who possessed "Fan Xiu", said secretly: "Sure enough." ”
In the memory information, there is only a simple information about the relationship between Fan Xiu and the Qin Alliance, and the city lord of the small city-state "Xiuyuan City" under the command of the "Qin Alliance", and there is no other more specific information, and there is not even any description of when "Xiuyuan City" joined the "Qin Alliance" for what reason. This brought a lot of trouble to Ning Yuan's calculation of why he chose "Xiuyuan City" as the starting point of the war.
Now Ning Yuan finally knew that Fan Xiu was originally from the pro-soldier camp in the main city of the "Qin Alliance", although the specific information was not yet known, maybe it was just an ordinary pro-soldier as the other party said.
No, it can't be an ordinary pro-soldier. Based on what Ning Yuan had learned after entering the Nino Continent and what he had learned from the memory of the boundary line, it was impossible for an ordinary soldier to have a "city knot". Even if they obtained the "City Heart" by virtue of their own chances, the "Qin Alliance" would never simply let their subordinates take the "City Heart" to build a city on their own, and also included it in the alliance's protection.
Moreover, ordinary pro-soldiers can never be the reason why the other party must target the small city-state of "Xiuyuan City".
Therefore, Fan Xiu's identity is by no means as simple as an ordinary pro-soldier.
But none of this matters for the time being. What matters is how to get through the current hurdle.
There is no doubt that the two armies rushed to kill, not to mention the manpower of "Fan Xiu" at the moment, even if all the Xiuyuan troops on the battlefield were gathered, they would not be the opponents of the two characteristic corps that suddenly appeared on the opposite side.
Surrender willingly? Then everything Ning Yuan did before would be meaningless, and once Fan Xiu was captured, that unhappy ending would definitely happen.
Therefore, even if Fan Xiu dies in battle, he must not be captured, this is the final bottom line.
If you want to pass this level, you can only start with the practitioner himself.
"Since everyone is a ground-level cultivator. Your purpose is to capture the lord of the city. Then we might as well fight the generals. ”
"Fan Xiu" said loudly to the two opposite.
"Fighter?!"
Hearing "Fan Xiu's" proposal, both the enemy and the enemy were stunned.
"No! My lord! Zhao Xian was stunned for a moment and hurriedly transmitted the voice "Fan Xiu" and said, "My lord, one against two is too dangerous, and you just used that trick not long ago, if you use it again, your body will not be able to stand it." ”
Hearing Zhao Xian's sudden sound reaching his ears, Ning Yuan, who was possessing Fan Xiu, was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that after stepping into the middle of the military rank, cultivators had been able to transmit messages to each other to avoid being heard by others.
"I'm ......!" Ning Yuan didn't know what to say in his consciousness at all, and he even forgot the most basic common sense of a cultivator, and he was really drunk.
But seriously, you can't really blame Ning Yuan. Whether in the realm line memory or now in this Neno continent, which is equivalent to reality, after becoming a cultivator, he is a person, and it can be said that there is no object of transmission at all. And in this sand table illusion, he has been thinking about how to accomplish the goal as much as possible, and has not noticed the aspect that the cultivator can transmit sound.
Ning Yuan, who came back to his senses, did not reply to Zhao Xian, but continued to ask aloud to the other side, "How?" One-on-one, one-on-two. ”
Liu Yan's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and he said contemptuously: "Do you really think that you will be the opponent of the two of us?" ”
Leng Xie laughed evilly, and sneered: "You really look down on the two of us." ”
"Fan Xiu" pulled the corners of his mouth, raised a slightly self-deprecating arc and said, "You have to allow this city lord to struggle, don't you?" ”
Liu Yan and Leng Xie glanced at each other and nodded.
Leng Xie sneered, "Okay." We accept the challenge. And in order to convince you, one-on-one, two. And you have half a quarter of an hour of pranayama time for each session. ”
"Fan Xiu" looked at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan smiled contemptuously and nodded in agreement.
"I have one more request." "Fan Xiu" eyes flashed slightly, and he spoke again.
Liu Yan and Leng Xie frowned slightly.
Liu Yan said impatiently and coldly: "Don't get an inch!" ”
Fan Xiu was unmoved and raised a finger.
"One last request. And I also vaguely guessed the purpose of you and Tiezhi City, so it's better to listen. ”
Liu Yan was a little irritable and wanted to move, but was gently held down by Leng Xie.
The cold evil looked at "Fan Xiu" indifferently and said, "Say! ”
("That's what it sounds like.") Ning Yuan smiled lightly in his mind.
"Fan Xiu" looked at the Ice and Fire Legion behind the two of them and said, "For the sake of fairness, the legion behind you will retreat two hundred zhang, and the command of the city lord will also leave, so that the military spirit within the scope of the competition will be completely dispersed." You have to let the cultivators give full play to each other's strength, don't you? ”
Liu Yan and the others raised their eyebrows, glanced at each other, and nodded, which was regarded as agreeing to "Fan Xiu's" request.
"Your Excellency!" Zhao Xian was a little anxious.
However, before Zhao Xian could say anything, he was interrupted by the transmission of "Fan Xiu".
"Don't say anything. You will lead everyone to continue to chase and kill the defeated soldiers of Tiezhi City later, and then lead everyone to break out. After breaking through, he immediately broke into pieces and went to Mojia Village, from the secret passage of Mojia Village to Anliu City, and then went to the nearest alliance city-state through Dunjia Gate, and asked them to contact the alliance leader, and said that the 'people from the north' moved. Remember to be sure to get the word in. Certain! ”
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and asked Zhao Xian to lead his subordinates away.
Those words just now were information that suddenly appeared in Ning Yuan's consciousness, if he didn't guess wrong, it should be Fan Xiu's own consciousness.
However, the specific situation of the 'people of the north' is completely unknown. It seems that this is information that Ning Yuan does not need to know.
Ning Yuan knew that since he had just said that he had guessed something, then the other party would definitely send someone to hunt down Fan Xiu's subordinates.
However, Ning Yuan had confidence in Zhao Xian.
According to the information given by Fan Xiu in his consciousness. Zhao Xian was originally a top scout in the Qin Alliance, and he was very good at how to track and counter-track, as well as pursue and counter-pursuit operations.
And this can be regarded as the last fight between Ning Yuan and Fan Xiu, if this is not good, then it can only be said that everything is doomed.
After "Fan Xiu's" subordinates left, Liu Yan and Leng Xie also ordered their troops to retreat separately, and to the surprise of "Fan Xiu", the two troops not only retreated a hundred zhang more, but also did not have any superfluous actions.
Seeing that the other party was so honest, "Fan Xiu" frowned slightly.
("It seems that there are other backhands that have not appeared.) Is this really a perfect preparation? ”)
Thinking like this, Ning Yuan walked and said to himself in his consciousness:
"Hey, master. This level is completely delivered by me controlling your body. And I'm afraid it's not much better on your own. So, cooperate. ”
"I know you're there. You also see what I'm capable of. So don't squeak. ”
"I'm still a rookie cultivator who has just condensed the sea of qi outside, although I have some of your experience, but it's really not good for ground level battles, and I use a gun, this big knife is a bit uncomfortable."
"Although my strength and combat experience are very good, but my two abilities are very useful, right? If it weren't for my two abilities, we wouldn't be where we are now. ”
"If I really want to say it, I've done everything I can in this space, and I can be at ease whether I'm dead or alive next. But who would want to die if they could live? ”
"I don't know what kind of state you are now, but you're definitely not dead, are you? So cooperate. ”
"You come to fight, I will calculate, whether you are dead or alive, you will fight with all your might."
"Hey! Hello. ”
Just as Ning Yuan was tirelessly talking to himself in his consciousness, a piece of information appeared in his consciousness.
("Yes.") ”)
The two simple words made Ning Yuan laugh heartily in his consciousness.
"The one with the blue hair and the evil smile on his face. Tuke water, ice is also water, easy to point. ”
After getting Fan Xiu's agreed-to-agree reply, "Fan Xiu" said loudly:
"Then I'll ask this cold evil general for advice first."
Leng Xie sneered and stepped forward with his sword, and a cold aura spread to the surroundings, and there was a faint hoarfrost on the ground where he passed.
("Oh, it's the first to strike.") Because Fan Xiu was in charge of the specific battle that followed, and everything that should have been done had already been done, Ning Yuan was completely relaxed at this moment. Therefore, seeing the ability of cold evil to faintly change the environment, he can easily make fun of it in his consciousness.
Perhaps it was Ning Yuan's relaxed posture that infected Fan Xiu's original consciousness, and Fan Xiu, who had not had many "words", rarely responded to Ning Yuan's nonsense: ("Power doesn't know how to converge. The first few months of entering the ground level are basically this virtue. ”)
"Huh?! So you're not new to the ground? Ning Yuan said curiously. When he first began to absorb memory information, it was said that Fan Xiu was also a newcomer to the ground level.
("It's just a claim to the outside world.") Although I am also a newcomer, I have already gathered my strength. 'Kun Shi Change' is mastered after completely converging forces. ”)
"In that case, there should be some odds of winning." Ning Yuan muttered, and then said: "Later, I will use all my strength to activate the 'Sunset' detail reproduction ability, and then 'Yanyan' will calculate the weakness of the other party, fortunately, it is now a common body, otherwise I really can't see your tricks clearly." ”
"By the way, you can synchronize my mind, right?" Ning Yuan asked.
("Yes.") ”)
"That's good. ' Kun Shichang's burden on the body is too great, and the duration is limited, so it is recommended to use it again on the arrogant red-haired man. In addition, whether we win or lose, we have to find a way to survive a quarter of an hour. ”
Without waiting for Fan Xiu to ask questions, Ning Yuan said to himself: "I have calculated, according to Zhao Xian's current combat strength, it will take at least a quarter of an hour to break through, and the place to break through should be the forest I calculated in advance." ”
"Fortunately, the Iron Infant Army is only that squadron of wolf cavalry, and most of them have been scattered by the soft slate, and it will take a while to recover."
"The forest is hidden, which is conducive to everyone breaking into pieces. Behind the forest is the 'Sand River', and Zhao Xian should know that there is an undercurrent under the 'Sand River', including the 'Spring River' that connects more than ten miles away, I think a lieutenant-level cultivator can still do it after holding his breath for an hour or two. ”
"When you get to the 'Spring River', you don't have to worry about the enemy chasing you for the time being. The rest of the matter also depends on the providence. ”
"Whether the enemy has a back hand or not, we will have to survive at least a quarter of an hour. I think you know the dangers of the ladder better than I do. ”
("Yes.") I know better than you do. ”)
After Fan Xiu replied to Ning Yuan in his consciousness, his wrist turned slightly, the big knife was slashing across the ground, and a dark yellow sword qi brought up a crack and hit the cold evil who had just stepped into the range of ten zhang.
Leng Evil laughed, and the Ice Shattering Sword in his hand struck forward. A pure white sword qi struck forward with a path of frost.
The sword qi and the sword qi met in the middle of the encounter, and they clashed violently, a flash of brilliance flashed, the sword qi dissipated, and the sword qi also disappeared after rushing out three times.
"Not full force." Ning Yuan calculated.
("I'm already doing my best.") ”)
Fan Xiu, who had recovered Ning Yuan, had already crossed the middle distance at this time, intersecting with the Cold Evil Sword and fighting.
Fan Xiu's state was even worse than Ning Yuan had expected. The fatigue caused by many days of non-stop running, the physical exertion during the battle just now, and the weakness caused by the sequelae of the 'Kun Shi Change', the current Fan Xiu is estimated to be only fifty percent or less of his peak combat power at most.
Although the natural restraint of the earth attribute true element against the water attribute true element, the ice attribute is different from the ordinary water attribute after all, so after more than ten or twenty rounds of mutual back and forth, Fan Xiu was gradually suppressed.
"I thought it was so powerful." Liu Yan, who was watching the battle, raised his head arrogantly, looked at Fan Xiu with some contempt and said to himself, "It seems that I don't need to make a move." ”
Then he relaxed and turned his head to look in the direction where Fan Xiu's corporal had disappeared.
"Do you really think you'll be able to escape? There's another staircase there. ”
Although the battle situation fell into passivity from the beginning, neither Fan Xiu nor Ning Yuan was in the slightest hurry.
Sure enough, after more than thirty moves, Fan Xiu, who was holding a big knife, began to faintly grasp the initiative, although he still defended more and attacked less, but every counterattack was stuck in the uncomfortable place of the cold evil, and every counterattack would knock out the momentum he had accumulated.
After a few times, Leng Xie strangely found that his momentum actually began to decline faintly.
And at this moment, Fan Xiu's attack changed from the previous defensive counterattack and began to become violent, and the sword ignored the key points of the cold evil.
The evil smile on Leng Xie's face disappeared, his face became embarrassed, and after forcing Fan Xiu back with several swords in a row, his footsteps retreated sharply.
Stepping back, Leng Xie stood still, and looked at Fan Xiu with a cold face: "Sure enough, I have some ability." ”
After speaking, the middle finger of his left hand flicked in the middle of the spine of the ice-blue Ice Shattering Sword, and a ball of ice blades suddenly exploded on the Ice Shattering Sword, and his left hand wiped on the ice blade again. The irregular star-shaped ice blade spun in vain, and then the spinning ice blade shot towards Fan Xiu.
