Chapter 122: The Beginning of the War
The next day, the morning breeze blew, the flag was unfurled, and under the Zhenwu Holy Mountain, a thousand palace guards lined up in a row, all of them were cultivators of the Qi Sea Realm, holding purple gold and wearing purple gold armor, magnificent, so not majestic.
In front of the palace guards, there is the palace honor guard, the mountain sacrifice ceremony is not trivial, the battle of the hundred cities is the opening scene of the mountain sacrifice ceremony, it has always been paid special attention, and Wu Changkong, the ruler of the Zhenwu Dynasty, personally attended.
This is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties, wearing a purple and gold crown, wearing a sword at his waist, his eyes are as sharp as an eagle's falcon, his nose is straight and his lips are thick, and he has a beard more than three inches long.
Not only did King Wu personally attend, but the harem concubines, princes and princesses were also lined up one by one, with solemn expressions.
Wu Tong, the founding ancestor of the Zhenwu Dynasty, was a highly decorated general, who was sent to a remote frontier for breaking the law, and after being tortured, he rose up angrily and rose up in the southwest frontier, and after half a lifetime of conquest, he laid the foundation of the dynasty.
Since the establishment of the Zhenwu Dynasty, the disputes with the surrounding areas have never stopped, therefore, the Zhenwu Dynasty is still martial, the military is strong, and the people are also cultivating and producing talents.
In recent decades, border disputes have gradually subsided, and the focus of the entire dynasty has shifted from foreign wars to internal affairs, but the militant atmosphere cannot be changed in two times.
For example, the current martial king has always been a sword that never leaves his body, and his Shang Fang sword is not a decorative one, but a real mysterious weapon, which is incomparably sharp, slashing strong enemies on the outside, and punishing ministers on the inside, I don't know how much blood it has stained.
The Zhenwu Dynasty did not have any totemic beliefs, if there was, it was a strong ancestor worship, recalling the ancestors, praying for the blessing of the ancestors, so it also attached great importance to the mountain sacrifice ceremony.
King Wu is energetic, the harem has a queen three concubines and nine concubines, and all have children, the total number is more than thirty, the eldest son Wu Meng has been established as the crown prince, located in the East Palace, practicing martial arts and literature, and has outstanding ability.
It can be said that the current Zhenwu Dynasty is reaching the strongest stage since the establishment of the dynasty.
For hundreds of years, the dynasty has been held back by foreign wars and has no intention of taking care of the country, which has given the Jianghu sect a long development time and a broad soil for development, and there are many sects, with a total of thousands.
Among them, the Mayfly Palace is the most imposing, and there are signs of confrontation with the royal family, and friction and temptation between each other occur from time to time, but the conflict has not yet broken out in full force.
King Wu has his own ambitions, but Han Ying, the palace master of the Mayfly Palace, is also ambitious, as the so-called prosperity must decline, all undercurrents are surging, the Zhenwu Dynasty is going to experience this change after all, as for who wins and who loses, it is still unknown.
Qin Wuyi and a total of 300 other young talents who participated in the Battle of the Hundred Cities have now been inspected, assembled, and stood respectfully opposite the Martial King, one by one with their eyebrows lowered and their heads bowed, and they didn't dare to come out, many people had never seen such a big battle in their lives.
The entire Zhenwu Holy Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and the main peak of it, Zhenwu Peak, is more than a thousand feet high, in order to cooperate with the Battle of the Hundred Cities, the places within a radius of dozens of miles have been heavily guarded.
At a certain moment,
The drums sounded, and it shook the heart.
"The hour has come, and the Battle of the Hundred Cities is about to begin. ”
The person in charge of presiding over the Battle of the Hundred Cities was the great general Ning Ze.
In front of Ning Ze, there was a square altar with a thick top and a thin bottom, and a purple crystal ball was placed on the altar, and the light in the crystal ball surged, that was a full three hundred soul seals.
Each soul seal was also marked with a serial number, and now Qin Wuyi and the others stepped forward one by one to extract their own soul seals, and this serial number represented the direction where everyone entered the battlefield.
The battlefield of the Battle of the Hundred Cities is the deep mountains and dense forests in front of him, the battle is opened, three hundred people are lined up, and they are marching towards the depths of the dense forest, considering that the people participating in the battle are all at the peak of the strength of the Chong Pulse Realm, and the speed cannot be separated by too much difference, so the position between each other is very important.
And in order to avoid the situation of forming a gang at the beginning, the form of drawing lots is adopted, and no one knows which direction they will be assigned to.
It is very likely that as soon as you enter the dense forest, you will directly start to do it, and the person who is standing next to you will immediately become an opponent.
"This battle of the hundred cities lasted for a total of five days, and after five days, the share of salt and iron in each city next year will be determined by the number of soul marks in the hands of the surviving people.
The mysterious beasts in this dense forest, General Ben has personally led people to clean them up, and according to the king's will, he naturally left some as a test for you.
The strength of these mysterious beasts is in the martial arts realm, if you are alone, it will definitely be dead, but if you can join forces with the two of you, you can get away with it, and if three or more people join forces, you can even fight back.
The beast crystal of the Xuan Beast is a good thing, not to mention anything else, just the rapid recovery of the Xuan Qi and the growth of cultivation are enough to be useful to you.
In addition, in the deepest part of this dense forest, there is a purple gold dragon flag, and within five days, whoever can win the purple gold dragon flag will also receive an additional reward approved by the king himself.
The above are the rules of the Hundred Cities War, now, everyone according to the serial number on the soul seal, immediately arrive at the designated place, beat the drum as the number, and the battle begins. ”
General Ning Ze explained the rules simply, the voice fell, three hundred people acted immediately, on the periphery of the dense forest, there were soldiers guarding, and the position where each soldier stood corresponded to a serial number, just find the soldiers.
Qin Wuyi, Yue Renjie, and Kang Jialuo were all scattered, and even Lei Hong, who he had only met yesterday, was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Ang, there is only one person between him and Qin Wuyi, so there is a goal.
Knock knock!
The winter wind blows, and the war drums beat.
Without a moment's hesitation, three hundred people set off in unison and ran towards the depths of the dense forest, as long as I ran fast enough, others couldn't catch up with me, so at least I could find a safe place to hide, even if I hid directly until the end of the war five days later, I could save a soul mark.
And those who are more confident in their own strength are thinking about finding a place to set up an ambush early to see if they can intercept an opponent and get off to a good start first.
Qin Wuyi's speed was very fast, and he was windy
As soon as he entered the dense forest, Qin Wuyi jumped directly in the direction of Chen Ang, since he was so close, he had to stare at him to death.
After the soldiers cleaned up, there are basically no mysterious beasts on the periphery of the dense forest, so you can move forward with confidence, running and running, and you hear the sound of a fight in front of you, so soon you will hand it over?
Qin Wuyi slowed down his speed, leaned over quietly, and hid his figure behind a big tree, it turned out that Chen Ang and a young man who had entered the dense forest next to Qin Wuyi had already taken the lead in handing over.
Obviously, when Qin Wuyi was heading in the direction of Chen Ang, Chen Ang was also heading in the direction of Qin Wuyi, but Qin Wuyi's target was Chen Ang, and Chen Ang's target was the person adjacent to Qin Wuyi.
Those who dare to take the initiative are undoubtedly extremely confident in their skills, compared to Chen Ang, the young man who was the enemy was a little blindsided, he didn't expect to be targeted so quickly.
Chen Ang didn't give his opponent a chance to speak at all, he made a killing move as soon as he came up, his weapon was an iron fan, the iron fan itself was indestructible, and there was a sharp blade hidden in it, and the sharp blade appeared from time to time, all under Chen Ang's control.
As the saying goes, one inch is short and one inch is dangerous, the fan itself is difficult to control, and it must be close to the enemy when fighting against people, which puts forward extremely high requirements for cultivators, and without considerable proficiency, it is easy to play with themselves.
Let's see this black iron fan flying up and down in Chen Ang's hand, and sometimes the cold light flashed, that is, the mechanism of the sharp blade was triggered, and the young man on the opposite side was in danger.
That young man is also the strength of the peak of the Chong Pulse Realm, at first, he didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly and so suddenly, so he was a little flustered to deal with it, but when he gradually stabilized his body and saw Chen Ang's moves, the disadvantage was not so big.
The young man's weapon was an iron rod, simple and rude, wielding a tiger and a tiger, chopping, stabbing, and picking, and he was extremely skillful in using it.
Since the snipe and the clam were fighting, Qin Wuyi was not in a hurry to expose himself, he carefully hid and watched the battle attentively, especially keeping Chen Ang's martial arts routines in mind.
Qin Wuyi's weapon is the Silver Soul Spear, and it is a long and short duel with Chen Ang, if he can gain insight into the opponent's tricks and routines in advance, he will undoubtedly take a great advantage.
Unconsciously, half an hour has passed, and at such a time, it is not the peculiarity of the tricks, but the respective heritage, in this regard, Chen Ang is more powerful than his opponent, after all, he is from a cultivation sect, and he usually comes into contact with more things, and the Wushuang Sect is the overlord of Xizhou County, and it is not comparable to ordinary sects.
Chen Ang saw the opportunity, went up with a fan, sealed his throat with a sharp blade, and killed his opponent.
Killing an enemy, Chen Ang didn't care if the young man was carrying anything valuable, he just quickly took away his soul seal, and prepared to get up and set off again.
Qin Wuyi came out, and he didn't play falsely, but stopped directly in front of Chen Ang.
By this time, most of the people who set off together had already run to the front, and only those who chose to go directly to the war would fall
In the back, I'm not too worried about the emergence of any more yellow finches.
Qin Wuyi wants to have a real duel with Chen Ang.
Chen Ang didn't expect someone to jump out at this time.
He had just killed an enemy, and it was a bit of a drain, and he was not suitable for continuous combat.
He raised his head and stared at Qin Wuyi, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, naturally because of the birthmark on Qin Wuyi's face.
It's ominous.
"I am the young master of Wushuangmen in Xizhou County, my brother gives face, all the property on this dead man belongs to you, and our well water does not interfere with river water. ”
Chen Ang said.
"Wuji Sect Qin Wuyi of the Western Regions City, I am here for you, between you and me, I have to lie down one more. ”
Qin Wuyi said bluntly.
"Wuji Sect, Yue Tao, this old thing, actually invited someone from Wuji Sect to make a move?"
Chen Ang was a little surprised.
"Chen Diancang is your grandfather, right?"
Qin Wuyi asked.
"It's your grandfather!"
Chen Ang thought that Qin Wuyi was swearing, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be very right, Chen Diancang was indeed my grandfather.
"What, you know my grandfather and his old man?"
"I don't know, but I have a grudge against him, because my ancestor is called Ying Yufeng. ”
A smile rose at the corner of Qin Wuyi's mouth, which was extremely cold.
"Ying Yufeng, the only alchemist in Western Regions City, what does it have to do with my grandfather?"
Chen Ang was puzzled.
"You don't understand your grandfather's business, but you can't hide from this battle between the two of us!"
Qin Wuyi's voice fell, and he directly attacked first, and the spear in his hand danced wildly and rushed towards Chen Ang.
