Chapter 870: The Enemy Is Getting Stronger
"The slave maid thinks it's unlikely!" Liu Jixiang was also shocked, shook his head as if he wanted to throw all the incredible out of his head, and then said: "Therefore, the slave guessed that Long Fei may not have died at the hands of Xia Fan, but the murderer is someone else." ”
"Are you talking about Bang Ye, Jade Rat and Huang Lao?" As soon as Liu Xingchen heard this, he immediately understood who Liu Jixiang was suspicious of, and he actually had such a guess.
"Emperor Shengming, in the shallow view of slaves, although Xia Fan is insidious and cunning, he also has some strength, but it is impossible to kill Long Fei in the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm, otherwise if he can really do it, why should he blow up when he left a few days ago, Jade Rat and Huang Lao and others came forward to help him see him off, it was simply a fox and a fake tiger, and he wanted to scare Long Fei away. Liu Jixiang said this, smiled coldly and said: "Later, Xia Fan was chased by Long Fei and ran around, which is enough to show that he did not have the ability to fight and win with Long Fei head-on, otherwise he would have killed Long Fei directly, why should he flee for so long in embarrassment." ”
"Even if Xia Fan really has some ability, he can fight with Long Fei and even defeat him, but he may not be able to kill him. Liu Jixiang said: "It is not easy to defeat a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse, and it is even more difficult to kill a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse, unless it is a person who has enough strength to crush Long Fei, otherwise if he wants to kill him, he will not even have a chance to call for help, it is unlikely, according to the slave maid's opinion, people who have both hands-on strength and motivation are just three of Bangye, Jade Rat and Huang Lao." ”
"Well, you're right. Liu Xingchen did not blindly listen to Liu Jixiang's words, but also thought about a variety of possibilities, and finally felt that what Liu Jixiang said was the greatest possibility. Because the three of them have the strength of the middle stage of the Grandmaster Realm, which is enough to crush Long Fei, if you add that you have a heart or not, then it is normal to kill them. On the contrary, even if Xia Fan can fight Long Fei, he may not be able to kill him, so he is the least likely murderer.
"Bang Ye, Jade Mouse, Huang Lao!" At the mention of these three people, Liu Xingchen couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Long Fei didn't kill Xia Fan for a long time, and Liu Xingchen felt that a large part of the reason was related to these three people. When Xia Fan left not long ago, these three guys didn't go to send Xia Fan one after another as if they had discussed it, so that Long Fei wanted to make a move twice but was frightened twice, just afraid that the situation would become very different from now.
At that time, Liu Xingchen felt unhappy, and now that he thinks about it, he feels more and more that these three people went to send Xia Fan with ulterior motives, and even after they sent Xia Fan, it seemed that they went back to their respective homes, and then they couldn't go out of retreat, but maybe they were using a trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and they were in retreat on the surface, but secretly they had secretly joined Xia Fan, and then set up a game to kill Long Fei.
But as long as the emperor is an emperor, there are almost few who are not suspicious, such as Liu Xingchen, who has been the emperor for so many years, and the suspicion is quite serious, so when he thinks about something, he is more accustomed to thinking that there must be a conspiracy hidden in it, so the more he thinks about it, the more suspicious he feels, and for the explosive master who is determined to help Xia Fan and himself, Jade Rat and Huang Lao hate it even more.
If the master, Jade Rat and Huang Lao learned of Liu Xingchen's thoughts, they would definitely be wronged. It is true that they had the intention to help Xia Fan, and indeed cooperated with Xia Fan to do something, just like seeing off Xia Fan to deter Long Fei before, it was agreed in advance, but Long Fei's death really had nothing to do with them.
"The emperor is angry, troops are being used everywhere at the moment, and the court situation is also a little unstable, if you do it to these three people again, I am afraid it will cause greater trouble, and when the court situation is turbulent, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to the emperor's governance of the world. When Liu Jixiang saw Liu Xingchen's murderous anger, it was not difficult to guess his thoughts, and he hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.
"Whew...... What you say is reasonable, that's it, listen to you old man once, and let them go for the time being. Liu Xingchen's face changed several times, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief and found himself a step down. As a dignified emperor, he didn't have the strength to deal with the three of them, but he couldn't help but consider the consequences of doing so.
"Your Majesty, what should Xia Fan do here?" asked Liu Jixiang in a low voice.
"Send a message to Long Teng, tell him not to do anything to the people around Xia Fan first, and wait until he returns to kill him with all his strength as the first priority. As long as Xia Fan dies, those who vassal him are just local chickens and dogs, and they are not worth mentioning at all. When Liu Xingchen said this, he snorted angrily and said: "If it weren't for Eagle Potian's fight against me at this juncture, why would I be so troublesome, and directly sending a large army can easily kill Xia Fan and those lawless rebels and thieves who follow him." ”
............
After killing Long Fei, Xia Fan did not delay outside any longer, but flew straight towards Baishi City.
He had been dealing with Long Fei before, firstly, in order to buy time to kill the Sky Swallowing Worm in the Boundary Breaking Bell, and secondly, he knew very well that as long as he and Long Fei did not distinguish between life and death, then those hidden dragon guards who sneaked into his territory were unlikely to do it. But now it's different, as soon as Long Fei dies, then the crown prince, more precisely, the emperor of the Han Dynasty will definitely know that he will definitely order someone to retaliate when the time comes, so it is not appropriate for Xia Fan to stay outside now, and it should be more important to rush back to preside over the overall situation as soon as possible.
The place where Xia Fan and Long Fei fought was still located in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and it was not far from the sphere of influence controlled by Xia Fan, just as he was flying back at full speed, he accidentally glanced down, but he couldn't help but exclaim, and his body flew down after a slight pause.
It turned out that at this time, Xia Fan happened to see that there was a town not far from the river below that was being burned, killed and looted, and the people who were doing these things were precisely his soldiers, and at the same time, Xia Fan also condescendingly saw that there were many boats parked in the river next to him, and immediately understood that this group of people was Ge Changhe who was brought into the Holy Dragon Kingdom by his own order to destroy the navy.
"What about Ge Changhe, let him come and see me quickly?" Xia Fan's figure appeared on the bow of the boat in a flash, and ordered a sailor soldier who was stunned by his sudden appearance.
"Yes. "On that day, Xia Fan defeated Lan Haolin on Yunhuan Lake, and was in awe of his own and local sailors, and now many of the sailors under Ge Changhe's command are the sailors of the Blue Jade Country at the beginning, so they are naturally in awe of Xia Fan. The sailor recognized Xia Fan at a glance, and of course he would not treat him as an enemy, so he hurriedly agreed loudly, and then ran away in a hurry.
Although Ge Changhe is the general who commands the army, and he is basically in charge of this naval army, he is not honestly staying on the flagship of the naval army now, but is attacking a nearby military camp with a group of elite soldiers carefully selected by him in the naval army.
The order Ge Changhe received before was only to sabotage, and did not emphasize letting him kill the enemy or attack the city and seize the land, but Ge Changhe was really idle, and more importantly, he needed to absorb all kinds of bloody qi through continuous fighting to make himself stronger and stronger, so he began to improvise, at first it was just a dozen enemies rescued on the shore, and then he became more and more bold, and the scope of the attack became larger and larger, and at the same time he continued to go deeper into the hinterland, and the target of the attack gradually changed from ordinary people to the army.
During this period, Ge Changhe of course also encountered several powerful enemies, even the powerhouses of the Divine Spirit Realm. It really made him go through a hard battle, and he was even injured because of it, but after killing the enemy, he also benefited a lot, and his strength was greatly improved.
Today, Ge Changhe aimed at a military camp again, and was thinking that after defeating it, he would snatch the supplies in it and replace the equipment of the sailors in his hand, but he didn't expect that suddenly a herald under his command hurriedly ran over, and shouted from afar: "General, it's not good, the Lord is coming up and looking for you." ”
"Damn, it's going to be bad now!" As soon as Ge Changhe heard that Xia Fan was coming, he immediately secretly screamed that it was not good.
Ge Changhe was worried that Xia Fan would blame him for making his own decisions, but the general who led the troops left his post without permission, which made him feel a little uneasy before he met Xia Fan. But when Xia Fan saw him, he didn't blame him for this, which made Ge Changhe secretly relieved, but after feeling the powerful aura emanating from Xia Fan's body, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Lord, you ...... Could it be that he is already a half-step Grandmaster!?" Ge Changhe subconsciously asked this, and the consternation and disbelief on his face could not be concealed.
Although he has not followed Xia Fan for a long time, the two of them have had the experience of fighting side by side in the cave of the Great Wilderness Ancestor, plus Xia Fan helped him take revenge, which made the relationship between the two quite good, and he clearly remembered that when Xia Fan went to the Great Wilderness Ancestor's cave with him, he was still in the Divine Spirit Realm, even if his strength was stronger than himself, it was not much, but now it has reached the point of a half-step grandmaster, and the gap between the two has been pulled to a big extent, and it has not been long before and after.
Vaguely, Ge Changhe remembered that before the war with the Holy Dragon Kingdom, Xia Fan seemed to be only a triple god realm, and then he was ordered to wreak havoc in the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and he hadn't seen Xia Fan much since then, but he didn't expect that when he saw it again, there was already a huge difference in strength.
"That's right, I got some opportunities not long ago, so my strength has improved faster. Xia Fan nodded, then reached out and patted Ge Changhe's shoulder and said, "You have to work harder, our enemies will become stronger and stronger, and if you progress too slowly, you will be left behind quickly." ”
"Yes. What else could Ge Changhe say at this time, of course, he nodded his head again and again, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: It's not that we are making too slow progress, but that your strength is growing too fast. Many cultivators may not be able to step from the Divine Spirit Realm to a half-step Grandmaster in their lifetime, but what about you, how long has it been, it will only be two or three months before and after, or even shorter, who can catch up with such a divine speed?
Of course, thinking in my heart is thinking in my heart, Ge Changhe is not stupid enough to say it to his face. But then he asked, "Why did the Lord come here today?"
