To put it closer, the two of them may fight each other in person at any time in the process of conquest to become the king, and in the distance, there is still more than a year to be compared to the Hidden Dragon List, in short, the time left for Li Xunlian is not very abundant, not to mention that he is still bothered by many trivial matters, and he can't sink into cultivation with all his heart.

The more this is the case, the more Li Xunlian has to seize that limited time. After this change, Zhu Tong's cultivation directly threw Li Xunlian out of the seventh-layer realm, and it was not easy to catch up, especially from Guxuan to Lingxi, which was known as the bottleneck that was second only to the ten thousand streams of Tianhe and the Shenhai.

The names of the various realms of Xuan Xiu are very easy to understand, just like the literal meaning, opening Xuan means that the martial artist opens up his own meridians into Xuan Xuan, and can freely absorb the Xuan Qi of heaven and earth. Gu Xuan strengthens his strength by fixing the sea of qi and storing Xuan Qi. Lingxi is the storage capacity of Xuan Qi in the Qi Sea has reached its limit, and Xuan Xiu uses means to make the Xuan Qi overflowing from the Qi Sea not only not return to heaven and earth, but flow in the meridians around the body. As for Tianhe and Shenhai, they refer to the amount of Xuan Qi flowing in the meridians, respectively.

In the realm of the heavenly river, the Xuan Qi is rushing like a vast river, so far it is not common to open gold cracked stones, and it is not difficult to collapse the house between raising your hand. There are also such as the Four Sword Slaves and the Seven Musketeers, those who have mastered a certain stunt, and it is not a problem to destroy the mountains and break the mountains.

Finally, it is the peak of Kyushu Xuanxiu, the realm of the Divine Sea. After the Xuan Xiu reaches the Divine Sea Realm, the Xuan Qi overflowing from the sea of qi can reach the point where it is almost inexhaustible, deep as the vast sea without the root, and vast as the ocean without end. Of course, this refers to the pinnacle of the sea of gods.

At this point, almost any move can kill ordinary Tianhe Realm powerhouses in seconds. And comprehend the power of stunts in the Divine Sea Realm, that is to truly stand at the peak of Kyushu.

To get back to the point, it is said that the solid Xuan to Lingxi is a major bottleneck, and the bottleneck is to control the Xuan Qi that overflows the Qi Sea and transfer it to the meridians into streams, which is the biggest difficulty, and even to some extent, it is more difficult than the Tianhe River ascending into the Divine Sea.

At present, Li Xunlian is quite close to the late stage of Guxuan, according to the current situation, as long as there is nothing to disturb in recent days, a breakthrough is a sure thing. Therefore, what he has to consider now is how to plan from the peak of Guxuan to the Lingxi Realm, this is not something that can be completed after completion, in the Kyushu Xuan Cultivation Realm, there are many people who are stuck in this bottleneck for life. This is the watershed of Xuan Xiu, and it is also the reason why Xuan Xiu can be called a strong person when he reaches the Lingxi Realm.

The next three days were very peaceful, Li Xunlian was happy to be here, and he was bored in his room every day to concentrate on cultivation, and in the early morning of the fourth day, he felt that the sea of qi was boiling, and the signs of breakthrough came as scheduled.

In addition to enduring torture, there was no difficulty for Li Xunlian in the late stage of the mid-stage promotion of Guxuan, and after the breakthrough, he looked inward, and the situation was much better than he imagined, eliminating the process of condensation, and his cultivation was already directly stabilized in the late stage of Guxuan.

As I said before, if the breakthrough of Xuan Xiu is not smooth, you need to endure inhuman suffering, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the more unsmooth the breakthrough, the less time you need to stabilize your cultivation after the breakthrough is completed. This time, Li Xunlian experienced unprecedented torture, and the corresponding cultivation was directly stable.

If it is placed in normal times, this is definitely a happy thing, you know, directly stabilizing the cultivation of the new realm can save him many days of hard work, but Li Xunlian turned his mind and thought of Zhu Lian's seventh-layer realm, and the sense of oppression in his heart became strong again.

However, the inn does not have that kind of secret technique after all, and Li Xunlian is not willing to emulate Zhu Tong through snooping, anyway, there is definitely no harm in playing steadily, as long as he works hard, with his cultivation speed that is not much noticed, but is actually quite perverted and comparable to Jingyuan, he may not have a chance to surpass Zhu Tong.

Since Zhu Tong is also busy with his cultivation plan now, he was placed first in order to attack Yonglin Pass, so Li Xunlian does not have to rush to advance, it is not necessarily fair to be on the same starting line, only when he starts at the same starting line and starts at the same time, the final victory is well deserved.

Li Xunlian made up his mind that when Zhu Tong attacked Yonglin Pass, he would start from Yuzhou City and go to the next pass.

The sunset and the moon rise and the black flying rabbit walked, and in a blink of an eye, seven days passed, during which his trauma had completely healed, and Mei Wu had also recovered greatly, although he had not healed and his combat strength was not as good as before, but if he encountered any emergency now, there was no need to worry about her.

On this day, the weather was exceptionally bad, the wind howled and rolled up the dust, and the sky was bleak, as if something big was about to happen.

Li Xunlian had just finished practicing the twelfth round of Zhou Tian, and at this moment he was looking into the distance at the head of Yuzhou City, surrounded by Su Qi and Mei Wu.

Last night, the big shopkeeper came to the news, the second shopkeeper has arrived in the south, at this time is searching for Hu Wan's traces in the vicinity of Yuzhou City, if there is no discovery in a few days, he will come here to meet Li Xunlian.

In addition, the imperial court also sent messengers, such as Li Xunlian's request, the Red Demon was released from the Absolute Xuan Prison, and finally saw the light of day.

"Childe, the imperial court didn't let it go before, but at this time, the red devil was released, and the deep meaning is intriguing. Su said with a frown.

Indeed, Li Xunlian told Emperor Qingxiao about this when he was just released from prison, but he did not reply for a long time. Now that the conflict between Li Xunlian and Zhu Tong has escalated, Emperor Qingxiao has chosen to release the Red Devil, which seems to be a face-selling move, but in fact contains infinite scheming.

"I think it must be a ploy by Wei Yuhe's old eunuch. Mei Wu snorted coldly, what she looked down on the most was a half-man and not a woman, although that person was Wei Yuhe.

This matter cannot eliminate the possibility that Manager Wei will tell Emperor Qingxiao what happened between Li Xunlian and the Red Devil, of course, Li Xunlian believes that even if it is really Manager Wei who leaks the news, it will not be deliberate.

"If the Qingxiao Emperor really has other intentions, we have to guard against the Red Devil, helping him get out of the Absolute Xuan Prison is just to repay the favor, although in essence, the two are not worth each other, but this person will never give up the opportunity to use me to take revenge on the imperial court. ”

As Li Xunlian said, while they were standing at the end of the city, on the barren mountains and mountains on the outskirts of the Absolute Xuan Prison, the Red Devil was looking at the south from afar, with a sinister smile on his lips.

Zhu Tong's plan to refine the Yin Dragon lasted for a month, and when his army started again, it was already midsummer, the weather was already hot and unbearable, and the soldiers had to wear heavy armor, and when they were illuminated by the scorching sun, they were like lice, and they were irritable and unbearable.

Compared with Zhu Ming, Li Xunlian's situation is much better. For Xuan Xiu, sturdy armor is not very useful, and sometimes it can become a drag. Of course, if it is made of special materials, it is not the same.

The vegetation in the mountains is dense, and the thick and tall trees block most of the sunlight, and the people and horses walk here, not only are they not irritated, but their hearts are refreshed.

From time to time, birds chirp in the woods, and occasionally a few badger hares can be seen, and a meandering stream begins from nowhere, and it is unknown where it ends up.

Li Xunlian and the four sword slaves walked at the front of the team, they set off the day after Zhu Tong's army started, and this time the target was the remote city located a hundred miles away on the west side of Yonglin Pass.

The partial city is called Xijun, because some time ago, the Yong Lin Pass guard will send 5,000 men and horses inward, and it is a small city with only 3,000 defenders, and now it has also hoarded a large army of nearly 10,000 people.

Xijun is the starting point of the bet between Li Xunlian and Zhu Tong, and the starting point of Zhu Tong is the next pass behind Yonglin Pass, because Yuzhou City was captured by Li Xunlian, so Zhu Tong wants to break through Yonglin Pass, so as to demonstrate the fairness of this bet.

To tell the truth, Xijun is the horn of Yonglinguan, Li Xunlian's attack on this place will definitely indirectly bring convenience to Zhu Tong, but Li Xunlian doesn't care about these, although it is a life contract with Zhu Tong, but it will not be a baht, he will not, and Zhu Tong will not. Regardless of the grievances between the two, it is undeniable that they still have a lot in common.

The rapid march must also have a degree, blindly advancing will only make the horses tired, and it is estimated that in the end, even if they resist Xijun at an unexpected speed, the brothers will not have the strength to go into battle to kill the enemy.

The team has traveled more than 30 miles, and seeing that it is about to go out of the dense forest, thinking that it has been a whole night since last night, Li Xunlian decided to rest and adjust here, and wait until he has enough energy to advance again.

It just so happens that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful and cool, and resting here is a great help to the recovery state, otherwise this dense forest will be barren mountains and mountains, and it is not a pleasant thing to be exposed to the sun.

Since the last time he fought with the Black Dragon Guard, Li Xunlian has conducted rigorous and systematic training on the team's regularity and execution, although this kind of training is not an overnight effort, but in terms of the current situation, it has also played a good role.

This can be seen from many details, the Li family guards have lost the spirit of the rivers and lakes, and they have gradually developed the kind of solemnity that only serious soldiers have, and the speed of camping this time is much sharper than before, although it is not a major progress, but it can also reflect that they are changing their habits according to the correct trajectory.

When the camp tent was settled, the brothers took out dry food and water to eat and drink, and the brothers in charge of patrolling spontaneously began to patrol the neighborhood according to the usual practice, and Li Xunlian didn't have to worry about everything, although it was not as good as the Black Dragon Guard, but everything was already in order, showing the sense of order that the army should have.

Li Xunlian and the four sword slaves sat together, each eating dry food, and everyone discussed about Zhu Tong here, to be precise, it should be small talk. The opening of Zhu Tong's army shows two situations, first, the plan to refine the Yin Dragon failed. Second, Zhu Tong had already completely refined the Yin Dragon.

Although these two possibilities are very average, everyone agrees that Zhu Tong will not fail, whether they dislike it or despise it, but everyone is a clear-eyed person and knows Zhu Tong's perseverance and ability.

Then the question arises, Zhu Tong has successfully refined the Yin Dragon, what kind of level will his current strength reach?

Li Xunlian stretched out his palm to mobilize the Xuan Qi, and a white air mass mixed with black mist emerged, and as his mind thought again, the color of the air mass turned to ice blue, which could completely seal the black mist.

"Childe is about to reach the peak of Guxuan. Kun Shan glanced at the air mass a few times and asked.

Nodding, Li Xunlian replied: "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be so fast, but some time ago, I suddenly had a great understanding of the Xuanyin Qi, which is easy to exist in the ordinary Xuanqi, and to some extent it is similar to the Pure Xuanqi, and it is precisely because of this that I will still maintain a rapid cultivation progress when the Xuanqi of Heaven and Earth is becoming increasingly difficult to absorb." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xunlian paused for a moment, and said with a little loss: "But compared to Zhu Tong, it is still far behind." ”

The four sword slaves glanced at each other when they heard this, although their son was a young man in Kyushu, but after all, he was still a ten-year-old young man, and he was still in an unstable mood occasionally.

However, Li Xunlian is Li Xunlian after all, and he quickly put away that kind of thought, and then his face was tenacious, and he said to himself: "I can't lose to Zhu Tong if I lose to anyone, as long as I work hard enough, I will definitely be able to overtake him." ”

"Childe, I see that your Xuanyin Qi seems to be a lot stronger, does it have anything to do with your comprehension? I don't know if Su wants to divert the topic, so I asked a very idiotic question.

This is natural, everyone has said that they suddenly have a great understanding, how could the Xuanyin Qi not enter the realm. Su Ke's question provoked the roll of Mei Wu's eyes, but it also succeeded in turning the atmosphere back.

In fact, Li Xunlian's current mastery of Xuanyin Qi is not just a lot stronger. Since the last time he passed through Chief Wei to freeze the demon root, the demon root parasitic in Li Xunlian's sea of qi has grown more and more slowly. But no matter how slow it is, it is all growth, and the Ghost Devouring Heart Seal, which should have occurred once a month, has now been dragged to two months.

That is, nearly half a month ago, the Demon Devouring Heart Seal had an attack, and the pain was inevitable, but Li Xunlian had been able to suppress it by himself through the Xuanyin Qi, although it was very laborious, but it was still completed by him after all.

It is worth mentioning that the second shopkeeper had also come to Yuzhou City at that time, and he was protecting the Dharma next to Li Xunlian at that time, and when he saw that Li Xunlian had suppressed the Demon Devouring Heart Seal by himself, he began to praise it again and again, because in his understanding, it was unprecedented for Li Xunlian to be able to do this at his age.

Speaking of the second shopkeeper, Su took over the conversation again, smacked his lips and sighed: "I don't know where Hu Wan's kid has gone, the second shopkeeper had better find him." ”

As soon as Hu Wan was mentioned, Li Xunlian's mood was extremely bad, not only because Hu Wan fell into the devil's path, but what made Li Xunlian feel even worse was that they couldn't even find out the reason, which means that even if Hu Wan was "arrested", they did not have an effective and guaranteed way to rescue Hu Wan from the demon sea.

However, these things can't be solved by thinking about it after all, and the more important thing at the moment is to end this southern expedition quickly, after all, the aspects involved in the southern expedition are not only the royal family, but also the demon clan and the three shopkeepers, and it may even involve the Western Barbarian wolf clan, only by solving these, Li Xunlian can really withdraw and put all his thoughts on Hu Wan.

Otherwise, everything will be on your mind, everything will have to be distracted, and the end result will be that everything is not done well.

After resting for about five hours, the men and horses started again, and now they were only three or five hundred miles away from Xijun, and they could reach it in three days.

According to normal circumstances, the Xijun guard would never have thought that Li Xunlian's strange army would have such a speed, and if he launched a surprise attack under the premise of surprise, the success rate would increase a lot.

However, this is based on the premise that the other party is not very cautious, if the other party thinks things through, then the second plan can only be activated, such as dealing with Yuzhou City, to capture the thief and capture the king.

The rush march is to take it by surprise, so the night march is very suitable, just imagine, last night the enemy army was still three or five hundred miles away, and when you wake up the other party has already driven within a hundred miles, what it will be like.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, although the Li family's guards are all elite, but such a speed is absolutely difficult to do.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Li Xunlian and the others had already entered the hinterland of the continuous barren mountains, and they only needed two more days to cross the barren mountains and mountains in this area, so as to reach the distance where they could directly launch a surprise attack on Xijun.

At this time, it was noon, and after the shade of the dense forest was missing, the scorching sun directly scorched on the skin, and everyone was sweating profusely, and their mood became irritable.

Counting the distance traveled between this night is not close, it is simply convenient to rest here again, fortunately, the boulders here are craggy, and it is not impossible to find a sheltered place, all the soldiers found a satisfactory place to rest, Li Xunlian jumped on a boulder as high as ten zhang and looked into the distance.

With Li Xunlian's action, a figure on a certain rock flashed a few times, and then hidden.

However, Li Xunlian didn't look at the place where the figure was hiding, and he didn't even notice it, what he was looking at now was the white dot in the sky that was rapidly approaching this place. The white dot soon entered a clearly visible range, and Li Xunlian saw that the white dot was nothing else, it was the carrier pigeon he had carefully fed.

The direction in which the carrier pigeon came was the direction where Shenjian Peak was located, and the big shopkeeper had his own carrier pigeon, so this letter was either written by the old lady or written by a fool.

Since Gu Panxi was sent back to Shenjian Peak by the big shopkeeper, the two have not been in touch for almost a month. Li Xunlian couldn't help but complain and hope in his heart, and today he finally came to the letter.

Sure enough, Li Xunlian was not disappointed, the letter was written by Gu Panxi, although the content on it was still outrageously simple, but Li Xunlian couldn't help but smile after reading it.

Gu Panxi wrote "Why don't you write to me!!", Li Xun immediately replied after reading it, "Didn't you just write to me!"

This kind of small awkwardness often happens between Li Xunlian and Gu Panxi, but it is said to be awkward, in fact, both of them can't help but have wonderful sweetness in their hearts, and Li Xunlian is like this at this moment, so that he doesn't notice at all that in the dark corner of the nearby rock, a pair of miserable white and pupilless eyes are flashing with greedy light, locking him firmly......
