Chapter 30: Falling Stars in the Ten Tribulations
Xu Han didn't believe Yuan Xiucheng in his heart.
The two ends of the snake's head and the changeable tricks were probably all the impressions that Yuan Xiucheng left on Xu Han, and he naturally couldn't believe that Yuan Xiucheng, who had led an army of 100,000 people, was just to drink with him under the moon.
Therefore, after leaving that place, Xu Han and Liu Sheng accelerated the pace of meeting with everyone, and he even thought that Yuan Xiucheng's move would be the vicious plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and this worry did not dissipate until Xu Han caught up with the safe and sound team after half an hour.
However, after a short period of peace of mind, what welled up in Xu Han's heart was more and more uneasiness.
Xu Han couldn't figure out Yuan Xiucheng's thoughts, so in a sense, in Xu Han's heart, Yuan Xiucheng was a more terrifying existence than people such as Xie Minyu. This is probably the case for anyone, only the truly unknown is the most terrifying thing, and Xu Han is not exempt from this.
In the next few days, the team still headed south towards Liaozhou as planned, and when passing through the three cities of Xiting, Yumian and Chengzhong, Li Dingxian and Ning Yan and others left no stone unturned to try to persuade the people in the city to go with them. I don't know if it's because of the presence of a team of more than 1,000 people, or because it is close to the border, the public opinion offensive in Yanguang City has not yet caused much impact on this place, and the approach of Li Dingxian and others is quite rewarding.
By the time they left the most frontier city, the force of 2,000 men had expanded to 8,000.
After resting, the team began to travel south again, with Jingxiu Pass in front and Liaozhou after here, according to the news they received along the way, although Liaozhou is now isolated and cut off from the Great Xia court, it seems that it has not yet fallen into the hands of the Chu State, and the situation of the group of people displaced may be alleviated when they go there.
Of course, before that, they had to face the biggest trouble, which was the Jingxiu Pass on the Jingzhou border.
If it was only Xu Han and the others, it would not be difficult for them to force their way through, but nearly 7,000 of the 8,000 people were ordinary people who had no cultivation, and it would no longer be easy to take them through.
In fact, when he arrived outside Jingxiu Pass, Xu Han realized that his estimate of the difficulty of this matter was very different.
......
When the team of 8,000 people arrived outside Jingxiu Pass, standing in front of that pass was a mighty army of 100,000, and the person at the head was the Holy Hou Lord who had a relationship with Xu Han in Yanguang City.
Such a formation is naturally terrifying, Xu Han and the others couldn't help but change their faces when they saw this, and those ordinary people were even more chaotic, if it weren't for Ning Yan, Xue Lian and others desperately maintaining it, I'm afraid that these thousands of people would have already dispersed as birds and beasts.
"Xu Han! There is a way in heaven, you don't go, and there is no door to hell, you have to break in! Today, you'd better be arrested, otherwise the thousands of people behind you will have to be buried for you!" When the saint saw Xu Han and the others, the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a cruel smile, and Nayun gathered the strength of his body and shouted towards Xu Han and the others.
As soon as these words came out, the ordinary people who were already frightened by the momentum of the 100,000 army became more and more panicked, which made Li Dingxian and his party, who were trying to maintain order, look ugly.
Xu Han squinted at Li Dingxian and the others, but he was noncommittal, he stepped forward and walked to the saint Hou who was riding on the tall horse, a pitch-black long sword appeared in his hand, and he said in a deep voice: "The person who wants to kill Xu, Your Excellency is not the first, and the person who dies under Xu's sword, Your Excellency will not be the last." ”
Xu Han's words can be described as extremely arrogant, and when he heard the words behind him, his eyes suddenly sank: "Look for death!"
When the 100,000 troops behind them heard the words, they didn't need to say much at all, so they shouted at that time: "Kill!"
Immediately, an army of 100,000 came towards Xu Han and the others.
Xu Han's heart sank when he looked at the army that was killed, and said: "Don't fight for a long time, I will open the way for the forward, and the princes will cover the brigade to rush through the pass!"
Xu Han knew very well in his heart that the 100,000 elite army was not him, even an immortal might have to be consumed by life and death here, not to mention that there was such a saint who was on par with the strength of the immortal in that place.
Everyone who heard this no longer hesitated, and they all took a stand at that time.
Xu Han, who was the leader, took the lead and jumped high at that time, and three thousand golden sword shadows wrapped around his body, and he drank: "Great Cold Heaven!"
As soon as this sound fell, the temperature on the battlefield plummeted, and it was clearly the end of August and autumn, but at this moment, everyone on the battlefield seemed to be in ice and snow. Then one after another, the ice crystals wrapped in the majestic sword intent fell rapidly, and those soldiers who rushed to the front were only slightly touched by the impact of these ice crystals, and they were torn to pieces by the violent sword intent.
"Let's go!" the army was torn open by this ice crystal, and Xu Han shouted violently at that time.
This is a good opportunity, Fang Ziyu, Liu Sheng and others also stepped forward quickly to guard the gap that was opened by Xu Han, leaving enough space for the people to move forward.
But Li Dingxian and others, who drove the people, made a mistake at this time.
In the final analysis, the more than 7,000 people were just ordinary people, and this scene of real swords and real guns flying flesh and blood was really too impactful for them, how could they dare to enter such a battlefield? Therefore, although Li Dingxian and the others shouted loudly, there were very few people who were willing to listen to them, and most of the people were still afraid, and there were even some people who wanted to flee from here.
The impact of the second wave of the army soon came to the front, and the pressure on the people who held the gap suddenly doubled, and even the whining had to turn into a real body at this time, turning into a huge black wolf more than ten zhang in size, it roared loudly and flew with its claws, and every swing of the wave wiped out the lives of dozens of soldiers.
Seeing this, the Holy Lord who was sitting on horseback flickered between his brows.
"Crossbow arrows!" he roared loudly, and at the back of the team, huge ballistas were pushed out of that level, and the core parts of the huge ballista were inlaid with purple glittering demon cores, which were spars that had absorbed enough demonic power, which could greatly increase the power of this ballista, and when an arrow was fired, its strength was almost no less than the full force of a Heavenly Hunting Realm powerhouse.
"Release!" was accompanied by a shout from the herald.
Hundreds of crossbow arrows rang out, whistling and shooting at the people.
Although everyone's cultivation is profound, this crossbow arrow may not really hurt them, but in the face of a fierce blow that is almost equivalent to that of a strong person in the Heavenly Hunting Realm, they have to mobilize their minds to defend, and they are inevitably a little hurried for a while, although they still hold this gap, but it is not a good strategy to continue like this in the long run.
"Let's go!" Seeing this, Xu Han's heart suddenly piled up with anger, and he shouted violently at Li Dingxian and his party who were still trying to drive away those people, and the anger and dissatisfaction in that tone could be understood by anyone.
Li Dingxian and the others also turned pale at that time, they naturally understood the current situation, although they had done enough homework for these people yesterday, but when the big war was approaching, the sword and axe were in touch, some fears were obviously not pale A few words of assurance could be dissipated.
If it drags on like this, it is very likely that not only will these people not be saved, but even they will be dragged down. But at this moment, Li Dingxian and the others were still unwilling to give up the 7,000 lives, and they shouted loudly: "Everyone listen to me, we will definitely protect you..."
But the sound was quickly drowned out by the exclamations of the crowd and the cries of children.
Xu Han frowned, the people under him were struggling to support themselves under the second impact of the army and the pouring of crossbow arrows, although they had not yet shown fatigue, but it was obviously only a matter of time before they were defeated like this.
He had to gather the internal strength of his body again, and shouted: "Great cold day!"
As a result, a second round of ice crystals poured out, once again repelling the second onslaught of the army and relieving everyone's pressure.
The Holy Hou squinted at the battle situation, but he did not have half a discoloration because of the slaughter of everyone, he looked at the group of young people and girls of the same age behind him, and said in a deep voice: "It's your turn. ”
As these words came out, the eyebrows of the group of young boys and girls suddenly showed a look of hesitation, but this hesitation was quickly replaced by a touch of fanaticism.
"For Your Majesty!"
They shouted, and their bodies began to swell, their clothes tore, and purple scales poured into their skin, but in the blink of an eye they turned into purple monsters.
Among them, the seven monsters are more than ten zhang tall, and their arrogance is surging, obviously they are all transformed by the so-called Holy Son, and the remaining hundred or so purple monsters are about three to eight zhang in height, and they are thought to be transformed by the Holy Soldier.
Such a group of people who are at least from the Dust Realm, and the strongest have already surpassed the combat power of the half-step Immortal Realm to reach the battlefield, even if they will fight with everyone, but the mighty power is enough to make most of the people present turn pale.
Su Mu'an jumped high, and the long knife in his hand was like snow, illuminating the world.
Fang Ziyu stood out of thin air, several long swords flying back and forth under her drive.
Meng Liang's eyes sank, and the purple fierce sword called the evil dragon shone brightly.
Liu Sheng's muscles bulged all over his body, and he even went straight into the enemy formation, and every punch carried the power of opening the mountain and breaking the mountain.
The four masters no longer kept their hands, but they still couldn't break the impact of those purple monsters, not to mention that they were still distracted by the cold arrows that shot from behind everyone from time to time.
Therefore, it was inevitable that a few sanctified saints rushed out of their defense line and killed the crowd behind them.
Li Dingxian and Ning Yan had to temporarily put aside the matter of comforting these people, and stepped forward one after another to resist the incoming holy soldiers. However, Li Dingxian's cultivation was acceptable, and he could entangle with one or two holy soldiers, while Ning Yan's cultivation was uneven, and soon there were casualties, and those holy soldiers began their killing like wolves entering a flock of sheep.
There were casualties among civilians, and the fear inevitably spread among the crowd like wildfire, and the people who were already related to each other began to scatter uncontrollably like birds and beasts, and such behavior inevitably allowed them to get out of the protective circle of Xu Han and others, and greater casualties appeared, and more intense fear began to spread, and it seemed that everything entered an increasingly vicious circle at this time.
Xu Han naturally felt this, but at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to it, his eyes were staring at the seven ten-zhang tall purple monsters, he knew that he had to stop them, otherwise once these seven combat power beyond the half-step immortal realm joined the battlefield, it would bring almost devastating disasters to Xu Han and the others.
He stared at the seven huge purple monsters, and at the moment when their footsteps were about to step into the battlefield, a loud shout came out of Xu Han's mouth, and he said, "Rise up the dragon snake!"
The ice crystals scattered on the ground immediately turned into golden sword shadows, surging to both sides of Xu Han and turning into a dragon and a snake, and two sword shadows were entrenched on Xu Han's side, and with Xu Han's loud shout, the sword dragon and the sword python roared away, killing straight towards the seven huge monsters.
The sword intent wrapped in the sword dragon and the sword python is incomparably majestic, and the two purple monsters that bear the brunt of the brunt were pierced through the chest by these two at that time, and fell straight to the ground, but after killing the monsters turned into two holy sons, the sword intent around the sword dragon and the sword python seemed to be consumed most of it, and the purple monsters behind him saw that their companions were killed and immediately fell into exposure, and they all stepped forward to fluctuate with the sword dragon and the sword python, although it was inevitable that the skin and flesh were torn apart by these two, but the sword python and the sword python were also constantly weakened in such fluctuations, and from time to time there were sword shadows that were knocked out of it and flew upside down to all parts of the battlefield。
And Xu Han, who was connected to this sword dragon sword python, couldn't help but turn pale at this time, obviously the consumption of these successive shots was also not small for him. This big cold sky and the dragon snake are the swordsmanship that Xu Han had an epiphany after experiencing Mr. Wei's tragedy and the fact that Canghai Liu and others helped him fight the sky, every move and style implies Qiankun, the power is huge, far from the ordinary sword moves are comparable, but it also consumes a lot, if you can't kill the enemy after making a move, it is likely that you will fall into a predicament, and now Xu Han is obviously in such a situation.
Xu Han knew this situation, and the Saint Hou Lord on the side, who had never made a move, was also clear.
He knew it was time to break the delicate impasse.
I heard him shout at that time, and as soon as he stepped on the horse's back, he jumped up violently, and the horse that sat down could not bear the force of the Shenghou's kick at all, and let out a wail, and then turned into a puddle of rotten meat and fell to the ground.
A saint who has cultivated to a powerhouse that is already infinitely close to the Earth Immortal Realm, his shot, even if it is just a fist wind, that mighty power is enough to make everyone around him feel a terrible sense of oppression that they have never felt before. And Xu Han, who was the target of his attack, felt that the qi around him was locked up with the attack of the Holy Hou, and he seemed to only have a punch to shake this immortal realm powerhouse, and there was no other way out.
Seeing Sheng Hou's fist getting closer and closer, and the almost overwhelming coercion also hit layer upon layer, Xu Han's face was ugly.
"Dragon Snake!" he gritted his teeth and let out a loud shout, urging the two sword pythons and stegosaurus that were fighting with those purple monsters again. As if they were spiritual, they got rid of the entanglement of those purple monsters, and quickly escaped from the ground, rolling up those scattered golden sword shadows along the way, and also tearing apart the flesh and blood of the enemy soldiers on the road, and then rose from the ground from the feet of the Holy Candidate, wanting to attack and kill the Holy Candidate below.
But this practice had already fallen into the eyes of the holy waiter, and his killing pace paused slightly, and with a flash of his body, he avoided this killing move, and the sword dragon and sword python that attacked and killed him staggered, and rushed straight to the dome.
Shenghou squinted his eyes at Xu Han, who didn't know whether it was because of excessive internal friction or because he missed a blow and his face turned pale, and said with a cruel smile: "The slightest plan, you want to hurt me, I have the protection of the Holy Emperor!"
With that, the body of the Saint Hou moved again, and this time the punch he swung out was even more powerful, and Xu Han, who had not yet reached the Immortal Realm, thought that he would not be able to take such a punch no matter what.
And just when he saw that his punch was about to hit Xu Han's door...
"Meow!" a long call resounded through the battlefield, and suddenly rose up.
......
On Yaqi Mountain, in the Taiyin Palace.
Yuan Xiucheng stood side by side with the black shadow.
There was a black whirlpool in front of them, and the scene projected in that whirlpool was the battle that took place outside Jingxiu Pass at this moment.
The expressions on the faces of the two of them were cold, staring at the battle, no matter how bloody and cruel things happened in the light and shadow, no matter how terrible the wails came from inside, their eyes did not change even the slightest.
"The dragon snake. After Xu Han shouted violently and summoned a sword python and a stegosaurus, Yuan Xiucheng's gaze finally changed slightly.
"It's another trick. Yuan Xiucheng said with a chuckle, the light in his eyes flickering, as if he was extremely familiar with this set of swordsmanship that Xu Han had realized by himself.
The black shadow beside him, or the supreme true human god of the Taiyin Palace, after hearing this, turned his head to look at Yuan Xiucheng at that time, and said softly: "Some things are always destined, like him... Like you and me, we can't escape after all. ”
Yuan Xiucheng shrugged his shoulders, he didn't seem to like the topic that Shen Wushuang had provoked at the moment, he glanced at the other party and turned his head to look at the scene in the light and shadow again. At this time, the Holy Hou just avoided Xu Han's killing move, and once again stirred up the power of the sea to attack Xu Han, looking at such a scene, the corners of Yuan Xiucheng's mouth suddenly sketched a smile.
He muttered, "It's a cold day... The dragon and the snake..."
But when he said this, but there was no follow-up, Yuan Xiucheng's always calm face actually showed a look of confusion, he stretched out his hand and patted his head vigorously, as if he was annoyed by something, and finally he could only reluctantly turn his head to look at Shen Wushuang beside him and ask, "Who is behind this?"
Hearing this, Shen Wushuang glanced at Yuan Xiucheng, and then turned his head to look at the young man in the light and shadow.
With Xuan'er's long call, a yellow figure Mu Ran jumped out from behind the young man, turning into a five-zhang behemoth, and the big guy clenched his fists with both hands and slashed Huashan with an axe. And at this moment, the young man's clothes agitated, the majestic sword intent surged, and a nine-petal lotus phantom appeared behind him, and his eyes lit up, like flames, like thunder, like all the scorching and unbeatable things in this world.
Kami's mouth opened at that moment, and he muttered.
"Dragons and snakes rise in the cold sky..."
"Falling stars in the Ten Tribulations..."
