Chapter 43: Heroes can be proved in troubled times
The sky in the Northern Regions was overcast, which was extremely rare in the Northern Regions, and the powerful aura in the northernmost region seemed to be getting more and more restless, as if it was angered.
The forces of the various factions of the martial arts have been gathered one after another, except for the Iron Lion Sect, which is still on the way, the rest of the factions have arrived, and those top masters have all felt the terrifying aura of the northernmost part.
Xiao Ye is the most scared. As the ninth Buddha, his strength may not be the strongest, but his realm can be called the highest in the world. The pure Buddhist aura made him extremely sensitive to the aura in the extreme northern snow demon zone. Because of this, he knew better than anyone how terrible that breath was. The reason why the Tieli people moved south to Snow Dove City, this monk, who had never been involved in the world, guessed it just because he felt that breath.
What Li Nianyun didn't expect was that it didn't take long for the martial arts conference to gather powerful forces in the rivers and lakes again. Although I didn't see powerhouses of the level of Master Zhang Tianshi and Master Fangzheng, I saw Li Sixiang.
Li Sixiang is more afraid of the cold than Li Nianyun, obviously people in their realm, such cold can be dispelled with internal strength, but these two are always nested in the campfire in the camp.
Li Sixiang is a chattering person, Li Nianyun thinks so. Obviously, Li Sixiang's head was covered with a tent, but he was still looking up at the sky, and his mouth was full of signs that the sky was becoming more vicious.
"Senior Li, you Taoists love to pretend to be gods and ghosts?" Li Nianyun said.
"Master Li, as long as you absolutely fight, you can still change it, but if you ignore it completely, you may also suffer." Li Sixiang's expression was unfathomable.
"Senior Li, what did you see?" Li Nianyun asked.
"It's hard to say, the providence is always scattered, and now although the Tieli people don't dare to march rashly, I'm afraid something will happen to the empire soon."
"One Hanyin Sect can block the Tieli people, senior, now that so many sects have sent elites, we should be able to block the Tieli people casually." Li Nianyun's heart Dao Han Yin Sect is not the strongest, the Xuanji Sword Sect and the Bajian Sect, as well as the Taoist Buddhist Sect are not weaker than the Han Yin Sect, even the Xuanwu Sect and the Iron Lion Sect definitely have good combat power. After seeing the performance of the Han Yin Sect, he became optimistic.
Li Sixiang said: "Master Li, I'm afraid you're wrong, in such a cold weather, the rest of our factions combined will not perform better than the Hanyin Sect." The people of the Cold Hidden Sect can sneak into the snow for days without eating or drinking, but this will make the rest of our factions afraid that they will be frozen in half an hour. ”
Li Nianyun thought about it, but it was also the same reason, if it was placed in the south where the wind and the sun were beautiful, it was really difficult to say who was stronger and who was weak in the combat power between the various factions, but in the northern region, especially this winter, the heavy snow that covered the sky, the temperature that was cold to the bone marrow, and the snow that hindered people's travel. This kind of thing has greatly weakened the other sects, but it has greatly strengthened the Hanyin Sect.
"The predecessor is right, no wonder the Tieli people are so afraid of the people of the Hanyin Sect. However, the Hanyin Sect has been able to block the Tieli army, as long as the Tieli people can't attack it, until the dragon general Xiang Wu's injuries heal, the empire can organize a powerful attack with Xiang Wu alone. Although they are now at a disadvantage, no matter how strong the Tieli people are, they can't be stronger than the joint efforts of the rivers and lakes temples. Li Nianyun thought about it and felt that this battle did not seem to be difficult to fight.
Li Sixiang didn't speak, he did feel uneasy, but he didn't have enough insight to confirm the source of the uneasiness.
At this time, Xuanwu Gate Master Xuansheng Twelve came.
Li Nianyun and Li Sixiang didn't expect this person to come in. Without waiting for Li Nianyun to ask the reason, Xuan Sheng Twelve spoke: "Something happened." ”
"What?" Li Nianyun asked.
"Tie Li sent the most elite troops, the Cloud Cavalry, to surprise from the Hades arm." Xuansheng Twelve Paths.
"Ren Suiyun of the Bajian Sect and Wen Su of the Xuanji Sword Sect have led the disciples of the Bajian Sect and the disciples of the Xuanji Sword Sect to stop them, and my disciples have also hit the road. The Buddha Sect also sent eight monks from the Xiaotiandi Arhat Formation. ”
The battle came faster than these two Li imagined.
"I didn't expect the Tieli people to dare to take that road. However, it is also the case that the Cloud Cavalry is a very well-known combat force in the entire continent, and now that the Tieli people have taken medicine, the danger of this Hades Arm may no longer pose a threat to the Cloud Cavalry. Li Sixiang said.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go, this protagonist can finally show his skills." Li Nianyun has long wanted to experience such a thing as killing enemies on the front line.
"Master Li, you stay, I just came to the ward to visit Daoist Li." Xuan Sheng Twelve said.
"Huh? Why did I stay, let me tell you, don't look at me as the head of Yunci Valley, my ability to kill people is better than saving people. ”
Xuansheng Twelve was meticulous in his thinking, and he never rushed forward in his life, he said: "Now that there is no one else around the dragon general Xiang Wu, if the Tieli people send a master to cross the defense line of the Hanyin Sect and take the life of the dragon general, the empire will be defeated before the battle." ”
Li Nianyun said angrily: "So you want me to protect General Xiang Wu?" ”
Xuansheng Twelve nodded and said: "Daoist Li and Sikong Du Sikong Cook can form a three-life Ten Thousand Things Array, the three-life Ten Thousand Things Array of the top Taoist master is by no means a match for any of us, my Xuanwu Sect disciple has copper muscles and iron bones, and is also suitable for hand-to-hand combat, but Master Li, you have the power of immortal regeneration, and you are also a medical skill, and you are the best candidate to protect the dragon general." ”
Li Sixiang didn't expect that Xuansheng Twelve would know the Three Beings Ten Thousand Things Array. However, this is indeed the reason why Daomen sent him to cook Sikong Du, and the strongest three-life and all things array in Daomen is the "Zhang San Li Four Kings Five" passed down by the rivers and lakes, that is, Zhang Tianshi Li Sixiang Wang Xuanmeng. No one knows how powerful these three people are in using the Three-Life Ten Thousand Things Array together. However, even the three-life array of the two brothers, Li Sixiang and Sikong, should not be underestimated.
"Listening to you say this, it's also what the protagonist should do, Cheng, Brother Xuansheng, Senior Li, come on, if the war is urgent, I will use this fireworks to send a message, only I Yunci Valley is the one left in the camp, and I will come with the whole sect this time." Li Nianyun handed over the unique messenger fireworks of Yunci Valley to Xuansheng Twelve.
Then the three of them left. Li Nianyun suddenly felt the need to learn the Book of Changes, and asked Li Sixiang to learn divination, and just after discussing the number of days and lives in the camp tent, it didn't take long for the Tieli people to attack. It's just accurate to cheat.
……
The Great War began again, and the battlefield changed from the vast ice fields south of the Frost River and north of the Fog Prison Valley to a narrow and dangerous Hades arm. Although the Cloud Cavalry is a cavalry, the temperature in the Northern Regions this year is too low, except for the mounts of the generals, the rest of the horses can't bear the cold at all. But the strength of this force lies in the soldiers themselves, each soldier is one out of ten good hands, and the Cloud Cavalry has always been the force that the empire considers the most threatening.
Especially after taking the drug, the strength of such a troop and the ability of individual soldiers are close to that of a martial artist who has just entered the martial arts. A full 10,000 cloud cavalry marched from the arm of Hades, and for the empire, the crisis it faced this time was far stronger than the previous battle. The Cloud Cavalry, which had been hidden in the snow for a long time, was half wiped out by Xiang Wu, but even if there were only 10,000, in the heaven and earth of the Northern Regions, even if the empire exerted all its remaining forces, it would not be able to stop the Cloud Cavalry.
This is a desperate situation.
Xiang Wu didn't want the martial arts forces to play a dominant role in this war, because firstly, this meant that the empire would owe a lot of favors to the Jianghu forces, and secondly, he was not optimistic about the Jianghu forces, there were not many masters of the nine major factions, and the total number of people was less than a thousand, and the Bajian Sect and the Xuanji Sword Sect were friendly because of the relationship between Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan, although the two should have been rivals in the eyes of the world, but the loneliness between the strong made the two become confidants, and they also made friends with the Northern and Southern Sword Sects.
The Bajian Sect led a hundred disciples by Ren Suiyun, while the Xuanji Sword Sect led by Wensu and also led a hundred disciples of the Xuanji Sword Sect. Xuansheng Twelve is the same, he personally led the elite of Xuanwu Sect to one hundred, and Taoist Buddhism each produced thirty disciples, but Taoist Buddhism is more special, whether it is the Buddhism Small Heaven and Earth Arhat Formation, or the Taoist Three-Life Ten Thousand Things Formation, the power is unusual, far from being comparable to the numerical advantage.
The most important thing is that Li Sixiang Sikong Du Sikong Cook is the strongest in the world, and Li Sixiang himself is the top ten in the world for two terms.
On the contrary, it is the Buddha Sect, although the eight little Arhats are all in the Eight Leaves Realm, but in comparison, it seems that the lineup is not very strong. But Li Nianyun knew that the Buddha Sect actually dispatched a peerless powerhouse that had been hidden for a long time this time.
The elites of each faction with less than 1,000 people now have only one task, to resist the 10,000 cloud cavalry led by Tie Li's third general, Ebony, the second general, Heleiyue, and the sixth general, Kunke.
In the eyes of the commanders of the two armies, this duel on the arms of Hades will directly determine the outcome of the war.
Therefore, the main battlefield has changed from the ice field to the Hades Arm, which seems to have to change the route in order to avoid the Cold Hidden Sect. So no one thought that although this gathering of the Tieli people was a real attack, it was also a feint to divert the tiger from the mountain.
On the vast ice field south of the Frost River and north of the Fog Prison Valley, the disciples of the Hanyin Sect hid in the wind and snow, so that the Tieli army did not dare to advance, but the Tieli people did not give up this battlefield.
……
Forty masters of the Cold Yin Sect, all of them are not low. But not long ago, when the martial arts factions were heading to the arm of Hades, in the snowstorm, a man in a cloth appeared.
There was no one to see under the hat, which was covered with snow, and he carried a sword, the shell of which was already covered with a layer of ice. His gait is slow, but each step is extremely far. The figure suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared, and one step was dozens of feet.
In a short time, he had already arrived in the snowy region where the disciples of the Cold Yin Sect were lurking.
"Sometimes I don't understand you asceticism, let the good people don't do it, you have to be a ghost." The clothed guest said alone to the wind and snow.
There was no one around, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
"But since you have become a ghost in this world, you should be a demon. But you just can't get along with yourself, blindly cultivating until you die, and keeping your ability to rot in the slush, it's ridiculous. ”
The Clothier continued walking, this time not so far as he went, stepping in the soft snow with every step, but leaving no footprints.
The temperature of this snowfield suddenly became cold, and the cloth guest could not feel it. He seemed to be as fearless of the cold as a disciple of the Cold Yin Sect. His voice disappeared into the wind and snow, and there was no living creature in the extremely cold snowfield, and he walked as if he were walking in this ruin, and no one answered. The clothed man sneered, and he used his sword as a staff to gently tap the long sword in his hand into the snow.
The strong internal strength made the wind and snow stand still for a moment, and after the Demoiselle tapped on the snow, dozens of figures suddenly emerged from the snow in the originally desolate snowfield, and they surrounded the Demoiselle. These Hanyin Sect masters who were unscathed in the face of tens of thousands of Tieli soldiers, several of them were actually injured.
Lingyi Ke said disdainfully: "Hiding in the snow and letting the body feel cold is the first link in cultivating the frost and cold qi, you are all masters of the sect, and this link must have been perfected." ”
"Who are you?" The first elder of the Hanyin Sect asked.
"You, you're not worthy to talk to me." The man continued to walk forward, his posture was very similar to that of the old man of Huangquan, using his sword as a cane, slowly walking through the snow.
But something unbelievable to the masters of the Hanyin Sect happened.
Every step he took, a master of the Cold Hidden Sect was frozen. Then he took another step, and the master of the Han Yin Sect who was frozen into an ice sculpture shattered his body into ice slag.
"You...... Why is it the frost and cold of my sect? The Elder of the Cold Yin Sect asked.
The Clothier did not answer, and as he had said, he did not think that the group was worthy of a conversation with him. To fight the Han Yin Sect, he is only interested in one person, and if he wants the empire to lose this war, there is another person who will interest him. He was now heading south, his gait was safe and slow, as if the endless cold weather in this snowy field contained a beautiful scenery that made people linger.
If it weren't for the terrifyingly powerful cold energy that attacked the masters of the Cold Hidden Sect with every step he took, no one would even be wary of him, because although he came from the north, he was a native of the Central Plains.
The clothed guest walked eleven steps, and there were still twenty-nine masters left in the Hanyin Sect.
"Extremely ...... The frost and cold air under the realm! The elder exclaimed.
"Evacuate!" Another elder's fearful voice echoed through the snowfield.
In the entire continent and even in the entire history, the realm of extreme intention is also very rare, and only people with the highest talent can enter the extreme intention by continuing to practice and meet by chance.
The disciples of the Hanyin Sect are the most aware that the Heavenly Frost and Cold Qi under the Extreme Intention Realm can completely freeze the opponent in an instant, and none of them have reached the Nine Leaves Realm, facing the Extreme Intention powerhouse whose realm is more than ten times or even dozens of times stronger than them, even if they have a huge advantage in numbers, they will never have a half-point chance of winning.
"It's a pity that none of you can leave." The Clothier chuckled.
The terrifying energy is all over the world of this snowy field, and all the masters of the Cold Hidden Sect are in an extremely cold realm, and the heavenly frost and cold qi are practiced to the extreme, and they can freeze everything in the realm. The old man of Huangquan used such a magical power to deal with the black tip.
The old man of Huangquan, who stepped into the extreme with half a foot, was extremely powerful, and even if the black tip was at the peak of the eight-leaf realm, he had no ability to resist in the ice and snow.
And although the masters of the Cold Yin Sect all have resistance to the cold that is so strong that they are almost immune to it, although their realm is not low, mostly in the six-leaf realm and the seven-leaf realm, but in the face of the strong people who have really entered the extreme intention, they have also practiced to the extreme Heavenly Frost and Cold Qi, even they are condensed into ice in an instant, and if the cold qi freezes their blood and even their souls.
In just a few breaths, the already unbearably cold snowfield seemed to turn into an extremely cold hell in an instant. All the masters of the Cold Hidden Sect were frozen.
The clothed guest calmly drew his sword, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and these frozen masters of the Han Yin Sect would be completely shattered by the sword qi.
But suddenly, an ancient and desolate aura condensed the wind and snow between heaven and earth into a barrier. Blocked a sword from the clothier.
An old man in a yellow shirt appeared in the wind and snow, the old man had no hair at all, and his expression was extremely old, and he looked at the man in the cloth with a heavy sigh.
The two of them looked at each other in silence, and even the entire snowfield fell silent. The silent confrontation between the two seemed to make the ruthless and ignorant wind and snow in heaven and earth fearful. Two of the coldest people in the world get together, but it makes the cold world quiet.
In the end, it was the Clothier who broke the silence first.
"Master, long time no see."
"Qianye, I didn't expect that after many years, you still haven't realized yet."
These two people are naturally the old man of Huangquan and Xiao Qianye.
"Master, I finally know why so many people in the rivers and lakes like to use their opponents' martial arts to defeat their opponents, I have to say that there is a special pleasure in returning the other person's way." Xiao Qianye did not take the words of the old man Huangquan, the so-called enlightenment, after all, people are different, the Tao is different, and the understanding is naturally different.
The old man Huangquan said: "Back then, you split the Hanyin Sect and let Biluo lead half of the masters of the Hanyin Sect to break away from the Hanyin Sect, I don't blame you, she can be moved by you, she has a demon barrier in her heart." But now, the war between the empire and the Tieli people has begun, the empire is in danger, once the frost river is lost, it will be a perennial war, Qianye, now you appear here, what do you mean? ”
Xiao Qianye laughed:
"Master, you are old, once people are old, they will become waste, waste will only think about peace, back then I divided the Hanyin Sect, just because the nine major factions were too boring, after the incident in Lotus Sky City, the martial arts were depressed and the rivers and lakes were silent, this era is already so boring, even the rivers and lakes are so boring, it really disappoints me. I thought that Biluo had ambitions and could establish the Tenth Great Sect, but she couldn't become a climate after all, and with a group of masters, she just formed a killer organization. Now that this organization is gone, I want to come to Shizun You and Biluo have already had a battle. ”
The old man of Huangquan said sadly: "The people of my Hanyin Sect have cultivated the Tao with penance to reduce the sins of the dead, and the act of falling is only to add to the sin. ”
"Hahahahaha, hypocrisy! Master, it is a sin for the Tieli people to go south, but it is not a sin for the empire to scandalize the Tieli people? What sin is there in this world? Innocence is nothing more than a desire that is not strong enough to transcend so-called morality. The Tieli people went south in order to survive, if this battle is lost, will they end up in the end, Shizun, will you know? Xiao Qianye said.
The old man Huang Quan was speechless.
Xiao Qianye said: "More than ten years ago, I was recruited by the empire as the master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion to suppress the forces of the rivers and lakes, I have done a lot of things, and splitting the sect is just one of the things. Over the years, I have tried my best to form the tenth faction and disturb the balance of the rivers and lakes. But Biluo disappointed me, Qi Tianhe's courage was too small to waste this place in Qinzhou City also disappointed me, the world is not chaotic, the rivers and lakes are not chaotic, what is the meaning of such an era? ”
Old Man Huang Quan didn't understand why Xiao Qianye would mention Qi Tianhe. But back then, the strongest Huangquan Biluo of the Hanyin Sect was forced to separate, and it was indeed because of Xiao Qianye's secret obstruction.
"Master, after the Hanyin Sect left, I heard that you were lucky, and you also found a genius, it seems that it is a child named Bingzhi. You didn't bring this child this time, it seems that you entrusted the future of the Han Yin Sect to that child. Xiao Qianye said.
The old man of Huangquan took a step forward, and a powerful aura suddenly emanated.
"Even if you fight for your life, I won't let you hurt that child."
Xiao Qianye waved his hand and said: "I am full of expectations for the future of the Hanyin Sect, there is one thing that you are mistaken, I have never been the enemy of the nine major factions, although the strength of the Hanyin Sect was not known to the world, but I understood that the world underestimated this sect, so I split the Hanyin Sect and wanted to establish the tenth major faction of martial arts, what I wanted was just troubled times, not the destruction of the Hanyin Sect." ”
The old man Huang Quan said: "What good is the chaos in the world good for you? ”
Hearing this question, Xiao Qianye felt very ridiculous, and he was indeed laughing, standing up to the sky with his sword and laughing, his expression looked a little crazy, and there was some kind of absolute and complete evil in the madness.
"As a theater watcher and an angler, you can get a glimpse of the excitement of the times in troubled times. In this era, there are many masters and geniuses, and each sect has a strong man who is enough to change the world. And in the rivers and lakes of Nuo, and even in the temples of the court, there are many strong people who are not inferior to them and were born in this era, such an era of starry coexistence, but everyone is doing boring and boring practice, in the final analysis, it is just that this world is too peaceful. ”
"The world is a pool of stagnant water, what is the meaning of such an era, such a world? It is said that heroes are born in troubled times, but now there are many heroes but there are no troubled times, so why are they heroes? If the world is not chaotic, how can we let the talents of the world's heroes be brought into play? Since the world is not chaotic, then it is up to me to stir it up, it doesn't matter if the heroes of the world don't understand me, but they will bloom in this era because of me! ”
Dangerous to the extreme, for the sake of chaos and chaotic evil, as well as absolute wildness and conceit, the old man of Huangquan sighed heavily, but he moved the killing intent, the man in front of him made him feel an unprecedented uneasiness, the old man of Huangquan is very old, in his long career in the rivers and lakes, he has seen many people, there are the world's first Chi Yannan, the previous generation of dragon general Xiang Wu, the general of Chu State is tired of leaving, the world's overlord Ning Wuxie, the strongest swordsman in the world Yun Cangxuan, many of them are not weaker than Xiao Qianye in front of them.
But only Xiao Qianye made this old man feel the most intense evil, like a black fog, and then slowly invaded this era. He didn't know what Xiao Qianye had done, but this feeling made him understand that today's battle might be of great significance to the entire Jianghu.
Xiao Qianye didn't care.
"Master, if you leave now, I can let this group of people go, I don't want to target the Hanyin Sect, if this group of people dies today, the weakening of the Hanyin Sect is not a good thing for me, I am still waiting for the nine major factions to fight each other, before that, I can't let any faction break my bones."
"The victory of this war belongs to the Tieli people. I mean providence, and you'd better not disobey me. ”
The old man Huangquan said: "Although you have entered the extreme intention, but you are still far behind the master of the Ning Sect compared to Master Fangzheng, although I am old, I am willing to remove you for the order of the world." ”
Xiao Qianye said: "Ning Wuxian is very strong, whether it is him or Xiang Wu, it is not something I can match now, but now that Xiang Wu is seriously injured, it is a good time to kill him, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Master, now you are no longer my opponent, as long as you are willing to evacuate and no longer let the Hanyin Sect interfere in the war, the rivers and lakes will at least be nine major factions." ”
The old man of Huangquan exclaimed: "You actually want to assassinate the dragon general!" ”
Xiao Qianye sneered: "You don't know that the person in this world who wants the dragon to die the most is not in the military camp of Tieli Kingdom, but in the mansion of the empire. I killed the dragon general, in fact, I was entrusted by someone. ”
The old man Huang Quan said: "It seems that there is only one person between you and me who can live today. ”
Xiao Qianye smiled: "Master, do you think the empire can really win?" ”
"Back then, I didn't succeed in disturbing the rivers and lakes, but I was jealous of Xiang Wu and Yanfan, at that time, my strength was not strong enough, I went to the Western Regions for more than ten years, and I have done a lot of interesting things in addition to the improvement of martial arts over the years. Now that the Western Regions have been lost, and there will be a city that will be destroyed, the empire now has only 30,000 troops, and I want to see how the empire can win. ”
The old man Huangquan pondered for a moment, and his old eyes showed horror.
Haotian Sect. As the cold ice and fire among the nine major sects, the Hanyin Sect and the Haotian Sect are the most low-key sects, the old man of Huangquan doesn't know what Xiao Qianye has done, but the Haotian Sect in the Western Regions must be a pawn for him.
Xiao Qianye said: "Master, you really want to kill me, but I have to tell you, if the times are chaotic one day, it is definitely not because of the desires of one person, but the desires of everyone in the world. ”
Violent energy poured out from Xiao Qianye's body, and the snow field that had calmed down instantly became stormy, and the terrifying whistling sound was like the roar of some kind of beast.
Xiao Qianye in the realm of extreme intention showed overwhelming strength.
The old man of Huangquan did not retreat but advanced, and the horror under his eyebrowsless eyes became more and more intense, but there was also a trace of determination to die.
In the wind, Xiao Qianye was wrapped in the energy of materialization, like a layer of black mist, as if he was a demon king crawling out of hell. He held his sword and said with an extremely sacred look:
"The progress of the times is beyond the power of manpower, Master, you are too weak."
The old man of Huangquan said: "Even if I die, I will never let you assassinate the dragon general." I'll get rid of you before you mess with the world. ”
The figure of the old man Huangquan looked thin and fragile, holding a cane in his thin hand, as if he would be hidden in the wind and snow at any time, but the terrible chill and majestic energy between heaven and earth did not lose to Xiao Qianye at all.
"Hahahahaha......"
Xiao Qianye's wild laughter echoed in the wind and snow, and then he said proudly:
"You can't kill me. What I do is just to release the nature of this era, troubled times are inevitable, and I am just the guide before the arrival of the era! ”
