Chapter 16 - The Fall of Xuanle

Xuancheng Palace, which once symbolized the prosperity and decline of the Qi Kingdom for more than 300 years, is now facing the greatest catastrophe in history, with the moment the powerful Mingyi envoy with a giant hammer stepped into the Xuancheng Palace, the end of the Xuancheng Palace has been doomed. More than 20 Xuan Lejun's most personal Zijin forbidden soldiers were guarding Xuan Lejun's side with swords and shields, while Xuan Lejun was standing alone in front of the main hall of the Taiji Hall of the Xuancheng Palace.

Twenty years ago, at the age of seventeen, he ascended the throne of God, inheriting the will of his father and ancestors, determined to carry forward the Qi country, which has also become his lifelong ideal and goal. The State of Qi has reached an unprecedented level in his hands, in which the State of Qi has faced many catastrophes and tribulations, internal rebellions and external aggressions, the State of Qi has persevered, and not only that, but has become stronger. But now, the biggest enemy in the history of Qi has appeared, Qi may not perish, and there are still his most concerned wife and unborn children in the southern city. But he was Xuan Lejun, who had already made up his mind to live and die with Xuancheng, and his life seemed to have come to the last step of his life.

The power of the giant hammer wielded by Mingyi was extremely great, even the Purple Gold Forbidden Army could not withstand such an unprecedented ferocious attack, but the last twenty or so Purple Gold Forbidden Army beside Xuan Lejun also fell under the giant hammer of this Mingyi Envoy, at this time, Xuan Le Jun woke up like a dream and stared at the legendary Adjutant of the Dark Legion Mingyi Envoy, who was a person taller than him, he couldn't help but gently lift the Shang Fang Sword resting beside him, and said indifferently: " Your Excellency, is it the lieutenant of the Dark God, one of the two Bright-clothed Envoys?"

The bright-clothed envoy with the giant hammer in his hand laughed wildly, in his subconscious, this Xuan Le Jun that he needed to lower his head to see was already his hammer revenant. Of course, he also noticed a red lock made of gold and jade hanging from Xuan Lejun's neck, and he was even more sure of Xuan Lejun's identity. "You are Xuan Lejun, the monarch of Qi State, I am one of the two messengers in Mingyi, are you obediently tied up or wait for me to kill you?"

Xuan Lejun's face turned to the sky, his face showed a resolute expression, and he muttered to himself at the last moment when he closed his eyes: "Yun'er, you have to live well without me." ”

"The Kingdom of Qi will never perish because of my death!" Xuan Lejun retracted his grief and turned into a kind of determination that he would not look back. He roared loudly, and the Shang Fang sword in his hand turned and stabbed straight at this Mingyi envoy who far surpassed him in strength in both stature and size, he knew that the outcome of such a battle would inevitably be death, but he also had to face his final outcome head-on.

The Mingyi envoy glanced contemptuously at Xuan Lejun, who was moving quickly, and the giant hammer in his hand slashed towards the steps of the Taiji Hall in front of him, striking the guardrails on both sides, and the guardrails shattered in response to the sound, and the marble fragments moved in front of Xuan Lejun with the giant hammer of the Mingyi envoy, blocking his walking steps. Xuan Lejun pointed at his feet with his sword, cut through the broken and falling stones, turned his body and slashed horizontally with his sword, aiming directly at the Mingyi envoy in front of him.

Mingyi raised the giant hammer in his hand with both hands and struck hard, seeing the huge hammer hit down, Xuan Lejun hurriedly retreated, the giant hammer did not hit Xuan Lejun but smashed all the stone slabs and marble steps he stepped on, Xuan Lejun retreated four or five steps before he barely stabilized his body and was not shocked by the powerful fluctuations and retreated. But even so, the fragments of the shattered marble and blue brick steps were easily attracted by the Mingyi envoy with a giant hammer, and he launched another powerful attack on Xuan Lejun.

Xuan Le Jun swung his sword in his hand and smashed the marble rubble flying towards him, and then met the extremely burly and powerful Mingyi envoy head-on with a fierce hammer.

After this hammer, Xuan Lejun's arm was numb, and his arm had even lost consciousness, and Ming Yi made the force of the giant hammer smash down from mid-air that was absolutely impossible for people to resist, and the Shang Fang sword in Xuan Lejun's hand was vigorously bounced out and shattered to the ground. Xuan Lejun's face turned pale, he thought that he would be able to hold on for a while, but he never thought that the strength of this Mingyi envoy was transcendent to an incomparable realm, he had only resisted two or three moves, and he had already clearly felt a feeling of powerlessness, his feeling became stronger and stronger, and there was still a trace of luck that might be able to escape from this Mingyi envoy's subordinates, and it seemed that it was unlikely to be realized anyway.

Xuan Lejun raised his head miserably and stared at the northern sky that was gradually engulfed in darkness, and he sighed silently, as if he had foreseen his upcoming fate. He silently raised the scabbard of Shang Fang's sword in his hand, his body half leaning on the scabbard, his eyes staring blankly into the distance, and he could no longer see any life at all.

Seeing that Xuan Lejun had lost his fighting spirit, he immediately judged that Xuan Lejun had now lost the courage to confront him, and he directly picked up the giant hammer on the spot and smashed it on the top of Xuan Lejun's head.

In the blink of an eye, a sharp and fierce light suddenly flashed in Xuan Lejun's eyes, and he suddenly took off the Qi Kingdom Royal Soul from his neck, the golden Jade Immortal Lock, which he had never used. With his right hand, he threw it against the sledgehammer that was about to fall above his head.

The Jade Immortal Lock opened a large golden net in the air, supporting the giant hammer in the hand of the Mingyi envoy in the air, Xuan Le Jun used the strength of his whole body to support this large net, he knew that once he gave up, he would definitely die. And although the Mingyi envoy in front of him lacks IQ, he is very loyal, he knows that the real purpose of the master's launch of this Rising Star Battle is to obtain seven artifacts on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, open the seal of the labyrinth, and release the real main force of the Dark Legion, and he is also meticulously carrying out the task assigned to him by the director. He was now afraid that if he hammered down, not only would Xuan Lejun die, but the Jade Immortal Lock would also shatter and lose its effect. It was precisely because of this rat trap that only the seventh-order Jade Immortal Lock was able to withstand the attack of this ninth-order instrument soul cultivator, who was not necessarily his opponent.

Xuan Lejun actually felt that the giant hammer in the hand of this Mingyi envoy did not use all his strength, of course, Xuan Lejun didn't know why this Mingyi envoy didn't use all his strength to deal with him, but this kind of oppression of him but not defeating him made Xuan Lejun feel deeply humiliated, he wanted to die of exhaustion, but now it doesn't seem realistic.

Since there was no possibility of victory at all, Xuan Lejun's eyes tightened, and he made a decision that he couldn't even believe in his heart. He lowered his hands, withdrew the Jade Immortal Lock, and threw it vigorously into the face of the bright-clothed envoy in front of him. Just hit this Mingyi and caught him off guard, he subconsciously withdrew his hammer and grabbed the jade immortal lock that flew towards him in the air with his hand.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xuan Lejun suddenly turned his head and stood up with his hands on the ground and went straight to the Taiji Palace, his goal was quite clear, that is, the two nine-pattern dragon gold inlaid jade dragon pillars at the entrance of the Taiji Palace. And when this Mingyi envoy grabbed the jade immortal lock and came back to his senses to pay attention to Xuan Lejun's whereabouts, he unexpectedly found that Xuan Lejun had fallen in a pool of blood, he did not flinch or fear when facing an opponent far stronger than himself, and finally chose the last dignified death that belonged to him. He is Xuan Lejun, the monarch of Qi State, and he is also a name worthy of everyone's memory, Xuan Le Jun Tian Yi.

At this point, Xuancheng, the capital of Qi State, was pressed by the army of the Dark Legion and breached, Xuan Lejun, the monarch of Qi State, died in front of the Taiji Hall of the King of Qi's Palace, the two deputy generals who defended the city, Shi Lanbo and Lu Deng, were seriously injured and captured, and another deputy general, Nangong Yun, encountered resistance when he attacked the camp of the Dark Legion, when the road back to Xuancheng had been blocked by the returning Dark Legion, and in desperation, Nangong Yun could only choose to flee to the north, and the humanoid soldiers of the Dark Legion could not stop her footsteps with her speed. The 50,000 elites who were originally stationed in Xuancheng were killed more than 13,000 in battle, 20,000 troops were blocked and captured by the Dark Army on the way to the emergency south, and more than 5,000 people fled scattered all over the country, and 12,000 soldiers who really retreated south. The first large-scale battle of the Dark Legion on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent ended in a complete victory for the Dark Legion.

The two Mingyi envoys also got their wish and got his Soul Jade Immortal Lock from Xuan Lejun's hands, which was the most orthodox Soul Inheritance in Qi Kingdom, and the Jade Immortal Lock was also one of the key keys to open the seal of the Lost City. After the battle, the army of the Dark Legion entered Xuancheng and began to change Xuancheng in their own way, preparing to use it as a logistics base. At this time, the two Mingyi envoys also received news from the north, and the 100,000 troops from the country went south from the Tianhai Mountains on a large scale, and now they have occupied Licheng, which has almost no garrison, and their goal is now also very clear, that is, to block the back road of the dark army. As for the departure from the country to adopt such a strategy, the two Mingyi envoys naturally had already anticipated the enemy's opportunity, and they immediately ordered the main force of the Dark Legion to stay in Xuancheng temporarily, while the two of them led three elite special Dark Legion troops to the north overnight to prepare to seize the Qingming Umbrella from the hands of Chen Xinyu, the lord of the country, and the vital Nine Domains artifact - Qimen Bagua from Feng Yuchong's hands. Once these two artifacts are in their hands, they are only a stone's throw away from final success. This is also their real purpose.

The fall of Xuan Lejun indicates that the future of Qi will be more difficult and unpredictable, but Qi's resistance to the dark army will not end because of Xuan Lejun's death, on the contrary, Xuan Lejun's heroic and decisive death has, to a certain extent, inspired the remaining Qi soldiers and civilians, Qi is unprecedentedly united, and everyone is willing to sacrifice everything to defend their country and land. This was something that the Dark Legion did not expect.
