Like a saint ascending to the immortal, the nine halves that reappeared from the pile of rocks stepped on the air step by step, and walked towards Shaohong in mid-air. He slowly approached Shaohong with an indomitable momentum and resolute perseverance, as if the dead man was coming to the end of the journey he was bound to face.

Watching Jiu and a half approaching step by step, some sweat oozed from Shaohong's face. The spell in her hand was ready, but for her at this time, the fear in her heart was far greater than what she was about to face.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Shaohong spoke, and there was already a slight chill in his tone.

Jiu Ban didn't look up at her, but slowly raised the knife in his hand and then stared at the road under his feet, and said in a normal tone: "Why are you afraid of death, my generation has lived for a hundred years, and what I am afraid of is just that life is unexpected." ”

Shaohong pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh?"

Jiuhan's eyes became more and more fierce, "If I kill you, or you kill me, presumably our purpose is the same, so there is no need to talk nonsense." Ten days ago, if I had faced you, I would have died, but today here and now, it is not yet known who you and I will die. ”

Shaohong laughed, "Hahahahahaha, I can be regarded as laughing to death." Then she suddenly restrained her smile and spoke again: "It's a pity, it's a pity, at this time I'm already a celestial and a young rainbow, not a saint." ”

At this moment, Shaohong's eyes became fierce. When Nine and a Half looked up and noticed the change in his eyes, it was already too late. Fighting in the Holy Realm, the slightest difference between breaths can kill you, let alone this situation? At this moment, Shaohong suddenly let go of the momentum on his body, but it did not affect everyone. Despite this, Wu Liangzi and Wei Xicheng, who were not far away, only felt that the pressure on their bodies had increased suddenly, but what Jiu Ban felt was a world of difference.

Celestial beings are different from saints, but the realm of immortals. If Shaohong felt that Jiuhan was just a dragon in the sea, at this moment, she suddenly turned into a divine dragon in the sky, invincible in the world. At this moment, Jiuhan felt that he really had a threat of death.

The most fatal thing is that the two are so close. Different from the distance of about half a mile before, although the two of them are one on the top and one on the bottom, the distance between the two is only three zhang, and this close contact at this time is fatal. The realm of his whole body had climbed to a terrifying point, and the staff in his hand suddenly shone with purple light, and then the purple light turned black, turned into thunder and lightning, and directly slashed down. Thunder and lightning landed from above, which was really terrifying like a thunderbolt from the sky. Nine and a half only had time to withdraw Lu Wu's divine weapon in front of him to resist it, and then collided head-on with the thunderous spell of that day.

There was a loud bang, and then for all the soldiers, it was a long-term tinnitus, and it was dark in front of them, and then they couldn't see anything, and even some people directly bled and fell to the ground. I don't know how long it took, but when the buzzing in their ears continued, their vision returned. A deep pit appeared on the ground in front of him, and Jiu Ban was lying in the center of the pit, and Shaohong was standing next to the pit, facing Hu Qincheng, looking at the people in the pit with pity.

Half of his body was embedded in the earth, and it was in a terrible shape. His black clothes were disheveled, his body was more or less mixed with a little blood, and his eyes were confused and confused, like a dying man.

"You won. He lay there conscious, but he understood that he might never be able to defeat Shaohong. Shaohong has already entered the realm of 'celestials' that is even more terrifying than the holy realm, and the cultivators of this realm no longer belong to human beings, and can be regarded as an existence that has stepped into the realm of immortals. Jiu Ban is just a Saint Realm cultivator, and he only has one Lu Wu Divine Weapon in his hand, how can he fight Shaohong who has entered the realm of heaven and man and has a magic staff in his hand?

He looked at Shaohong with a smile, although there was some unwillingness in his eyes, but more disappointed in himself. The mountains and rivers are vast, and Osawa is soupy, but he is going to die here in the ninth and a half years, and there is almost no room for maneuver. It is still possible to fight with people, but who can fight with the sky? Jiu Ban smiled and said to Shaohong as if he had accepted his fate: "Now, you can kill me." ”

However, unexpectedly, Shaohong showed a hesitant look. She picked up the staff in her hand and put it down again. In the process of picking up and putting down, even Jiuhan saw the hesitation in her eyes, which was very obvious.

"Why can't you do it?" said Jiuhan.

"No, you're really thinking too much. Shaohong lifted the staff in his hand again, and this time, the light on it converged into a crimson sphere, but it turned into the shape of a dagger. "I'm going to kill you, it's as easy as a snap. ”

"So, do it. Jiu Ban smiled disdainfully, in his field of vision, Shaohong had already lifted the staff in his hand, and it seemed that he was going to do it in the next moment.

A streamer suddenly fell, and it bombarded Shaohong's lower back. Shaohong, who had been violently impacted, shuddered, and then the crimson on the staff in his hand disappeared. At the same time, Jiu Ban suddenly felt his body leave the place and float. When he stood up and looked, he found that it was Wu Liangzi standing beside him, and Wu Liangzi was using the levitation technique to take him forward at a rapid pace, fleeing in the direction of the Leyan Mountain Range in the East.

"Nine-and-a-half, go quickly, go as far as possible!" Behind him, the sound of violent collisions kept coming, and the voice of the defender Xicheng also came at the same time. When he looked back at Jiu Ban, he found that Wei Xicheng behind him was already fighting with Shaohong. But how can Wei Xiyan, who is sanctified in the flesh, defeat Shaohong, who is already in the realm of heaven and man? But Wei Xiyan's body method is ghostly and abnormal, Shaohong has cast multiple spells one after another, but he has not hit Wei Xicheng at all, but has been forced to retreat far away by it.

"Don't think about it, come with me, there's no time. Wu Liangzi beside him didn't talk nonsense, and dragged him and began to run in the direction of the Leyan Mountain Range. In the middle of his mind, Jiu Ban also figured out the point of the problem, he hurriedly turned around and followed Wu Liangzi towards the direction of the Leyan Mountain Range.

Behind him, only the sound of Wei Xicheng and Shaohong fighting was left.

In the ancient Leyan Mountains, the black soldiers marched towards the mountains like ant colonies, and they were sweeping through the carpet in order to find out where the three people were.

At this time, Wu Liangzi, Wei Xicheng and Jiu Ban, who had escaped from the southern battlefield of Huqin City half an hour ago, had already penetrated deep into the center of the outer periphery of the Leyan Mountain Range. They scurried like headless flies, but they eventually distanced themselves from the army of imprisoned cattle behind them. If it comes to Shaohong, he is really willing to spend his money. There were not many mobile troops in Huqin City, and at this time, there were as many as 2,000 troops who went into the mountains to search for a group of three, which left the three of them with little room to escape.

Among the three, although Jiuhan and Wei Xi were all injured, it was Wu Liangzi who worked harder. Half an hour ago, she turned her back on her master, and even more so on the organization behind herself and her master, the "reverse wheel", and risked her life to save Jiuhan from Shaohong, just wanting him to live. Although Wei Xicheng had some support before and gave the two of them time to escape, when Wei Xicheng escaped from Shaohong's hands, he also lost an arm and a leg. This fashion is not to mention running away, it is a bit difficult for Wei Xicheng to walk. If it weren't for Wu Liangzi supporting the two of them all the way with the levitation technique, maybe the three of them would have been captured by the army of the Prisoner Cow Country at this time.

Gradually, when the branches in the woods were pulled out by the setting sun for a long shadow, Nine and a Half woke up leisurely. At this time, the three of them had arrived on a platform, and in front of the nine and a half group of three people was the place they had come to, and it was also the grotto where the monarch of the country of the imprisoned cow retreated. Somehow, the guardian who was standing next to the grotto has disappeared, and after Jiuhan woke up, all he saw was Wu Liangzi, who was panting on one side, and Wei Xi, who was unconscious on the other side.

After looking at the surrounding situation and finding that there was no danger for the time being, Jiu Ban said to Wu Liangzi, "Why are you here?"

"If I don't come, won't you die?" Wu Liangzi glanced at Jiu and a half fiercely, and then said: "What about the next half? Shizun's subordinates are chasing soldiers for a while and a half, and I am afraid that they will not dare to come up, but staying here all the time is not a long-term solution." ”

Nine and a half turned around, and sure enough, he saw the light of a little torch in the distance behind him, presumably where the army of the Prisoner of the Ox Country was located. He looked back at him, and a huge stone blocked the entrance to the cave.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the place where the Imprisoned Ox Monarch retreats?" Jiu Ban said, but the Lu Wu Divine Soldier in his hand was clenched.

Wu Liangzi looked at him and then at the huge mountain rock at the entrance of the retreat place, his eyes showed puzzlement, "Yes, that's it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiuhan's hand was raised. I saw that he raised and fell with his hand, and with four swings, he split the huge mountain rock that blocked the door. There was a loud bang, and after the curtain ended, a long tunnel appeared. It's just strange that there is a little warm light at the end of the tunnel.

Looking at Jiuhan's actions, Wu Liangzi's eyes widened in surprise and fright, and shouted, "Jiuhan......, are you crazy?

"We have no way out," Nine Half's eyes were firm, unquestionable. "After that, there are chasing soldiers who are as fierce as tigers and wolves, do you still want to turn back and fight at this time? I almost have no strength to fight, and Brother Wei is in a coma again, and we have no chance of winning. ”

Wei Xicheng, who was unconscious next to the ninth half, said that he had lost one arm and one leg, but after all, it was not a broken arm and a broken leg, and he must still be able to act after recovering one day. But at this time, Wei Xicheng was unconscious, and there were Shaohong and his men chasing soldiers behind him, and there was really no more suitable hiding place for Jiuhan and his party than the retreat place of the Imprisoned Niu Guojun.

After thinking about it, Shaohong finally sighed softly, and then stepped forward and helped Wei Xicheng with Jiuhan, who was trembling and barely supporting his body to stand up, and walked towards the cave.

In the distance, after a short period of recuperation, Shaohong finally arrived nearby. When Shaohong arrived nearby, a sergeant immediately stepped forward to report the situation: "Report to the national teacher, those three have fled to the king's retreat." In the face of the forbidden land, our army did not dare to step forward, so we asked the national teacher for instructions. ”

After understanding the situation, Shaohong was silent. The retreat place of the Imprisoned Cow King is an absolute forbidden place for the Imprisoned Cow Country, and no one dares to approach that place, but now the three of them have broken in. At this time, Shaohong, who had just recovered some vitality after the battle with Jiu Ban, was betrayed by his disciples, and his heart was numb for a while, and it was difficult to choose. And in fact, deep down in her heart, she still couldn't kill Nine and a Half.

Although he would be able to achieve nine and a half lives if he fought hard into the grotto, this was something that could not be done. Once Shaohong personally enters the retreat of the monarch, even if there is no reaction from the court, the people will inevitably discuss this matter like a fried pot. She shouldn't do this, whether it's public or private, and she can't do it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shaohong finally sighed softly. At that moment, a herald approached her, accompanied by the sound of galloping horses' hooves. When the herald arrived here, he immediately dismounted, and then knelt down on one knee and hurriedly said to Shaohong: "Report to the national division, a large army has appeared fifty miles south of Huqin City, and the right prime minister asks the national division to return to the city immediately to discuss the military situation!"

"Is this serious?" asked Shaohong anxiously. Although it was expected that the army behind the Nine and a Half would come quickly, who would have thought that it would be so fast, it was simply not a room for people to breathe.

The herald didn't look up and said, "Yes!"

Shaohong, who received an affirmative answer, raised his head and said to the commander behind him: "Collect the troops and go back to the city!"

The black troops retreated like a tide in the forest, and the Leyan Mountains were temporarily peaceful, and so was Shaohong.

After carrying Wei Xicheng into the grotto, he finally settled down temporarily. When he came to his senses, Jiu Ban collapsed to the ground again, and at this time he was finally exhausted, even if someone came to assassinate him, he was afraid that he would have no power to fight back. The sweat on his forehead slowly oozed out, and Wu Liangzi hurriedly stepped forward when he saw this, and used his sleeve to help him wipe away the sweat beads.

Tired with a sigh exhaled, Jiu Ban smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect to go around, after all, you are still by my side." ”

Wu Liangzi looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Nine and a half...... Actually, I want to say, you better give up borrowing the sky. ”

Jiuhan exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face, "What did you say?"

Wu Liangzi hesitated, "I said, you better give up borrowing the sky." Shizun didn't attack the grotto this time, so he must still want to let us live after all. Her strength is already so terrifying, how can you ...... it alone?"

As Wu Liangzi spoke, the expression on Jiuhan's face slowly sank. When Wu Liangzi's tirade was finished, Jiu Ban opened his mouth and only said one sentence, "What is the reason?"

"Reason?" Unconsciously, Wu Liangzi asked rhetorically, but immediately felt that he seemed to be a little speechless.

Jiuhan's face was still gloomy, but he tried to breathe hard, trying to relieve the fatigue in his body, "Yes, what is the reason? persuade me to give up borrowing the sky, there must be a reason, right?"

"This ......" Speaking of this, Wu Liangzi was speechless. It's impossible for her to say the real reason, but when it comes to this, she can't make up a reason on the spot, which is ridiculous.

"If you can't say it, don't say it, that's the end of the topic. Jiu Banqiang stood up and refused Wu Liangzi, who wanted to be supported, "Didn't you notice that something was wrong here?"

Wu Liangzi also frowned, and seemed to have some uncomfortable feelings. "You mean, the aura that spreads out here?"

"Yes, that's it. Jiu Ban said, "It stands to reason that if the Imprisoned Niu Guojun is locked up here, the aura will definitely be condensed but not dispersed. But at this time, something was wrong, this aura was just scattered in the air, although it eventually pointed in the same direction, but it was too weak and too divergent. I'm afraid there is a secret in this grotto, and we need to go and find out. ”

Wu Liangzi objected to Jiuhan's point of view: "Is it necessary? At this time, Shizun's subordinates have retreated, I don't think we need to go deeper into the grotto, right? If we really find out what ......?"

Jiu Ban smiled slightly, as if he had thought of something, "Haven't you noticed that something is wrong? The country of the imprisoned cow has always been Shaohong in charge of state affairs, and the monarch has been in retreat for more than ten years and there is almost no news at all? Is this possible? If my guess is true, I'm afraid there is ...... deep in this grotto?"

As Nine and a Half narrated, the path leading to the depths of the grotto seemed to become more and more gloomy. Wu Liangzi unconsciously approached Jiu Ban, she leaned next to him and asked, "Really...... What?"

"Well, it's very likely that this is the case, but I can't say for sure. Let's go investigate. ”

This time Wu Liangzi didn't refute, she just nodded lightly. Immediately, Wu Liangzi used the levitation technique to take Wei Xicheng behind him with him, and then the followers walked towards the depths of the grotto step by step.
