Chapter 168: The Jedi Strikes Back
It was an overly heroic man, and although he was just sitting there cross-legged with his eyes closed, a majestic righteousness emanating from his body filled the entire stone room, as if this space was his, and he was the only correct and undoubted king of this space. That face has the aura of a king overlord written on it, and it is an innate and incomparable aura. If he were standing in the middle of a group of young girls at this time, I am afraid that seven or eight out of ten would bow down to his handsomeness, and the remaining ten or twelve would surrender because of his large and strong pectoral, biceps.
It's a pity that the man here and now has no breath on his body in an instant, and he is already a corpse.
When Jiu Ban and Wu Liangzi first saw this man, they were still taken aback. After all, if nothing else, this place is a candle in the depths of the grotto, and this person is probably the monarch of the country of the imprisoned ox for many years. After all, it is not a good thing to trespass into the forbidden land of the Prisoner Cow Country without permission, not to mention that this person is the Prisoner Cow Country Monarch, I am afraid that he has a cultivation that is not weak compared to Shaohong.
The negative emotions that pervaded were only a momentary situation, and for Jiuhan, that kind of emotion only lasted for a moment, and the next moment disappeared without a trace. But at this time, Wu Liangzi, who was beside him, immediately stepped forward after putting the fainted Wei Xicheng aside, and was about to apologize, but Jiu Ban stopped her all of a sudden.
"What are you doing with Jiuhan, don't you see that this is the monarch?" Wu Liangzi shouted in a low voice, but Jiuhan on the side did not react, he just strengthened his left hand, and stubbornly supported Wu Liangzi so that he did not kneel, and then said softly: "Your monarch has left." β
What Wu Liangzi can't feel doesn't mean that he can't feel it either. The body of the Imprisoned Niu Guojun was still sitting there with his eyes closed, although his body exuded an aura that was almost like a holy realm, but it was only able to deceive a child. The golden armor on his body still shone brightly, but it was nothing more than a faΓ§ade. What could be felt in the nine halves inside was an empty shell without surging spiritual energy, and the spiritual weapons scattered in this space were just relics of the Holy Realm cultivation.
Hearing Jiuhan's words, the expression on Wu Liangzi's face suddenly changed from surprise to sluggishness, and she looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, as if she was looking at an abnormal scam. Jiu Ban gently put down the hand that was dragging Wu Liangzi, and then slowly stepped forward.
"The past, the family and the country, are really an empty dream after death. He looked at the imprisoned cow monarch sitting on the futon with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but let out such an exclamation. Jiuhan's hand unconsciously stretched out, gently reaching out to the armor of the Prisoner Bull Monarch, and stretched out to the shoulder armor. Inexplicably, Nine and a Half were attracted by the armor. There seemed to be a voice in the darkness telling him that he should touch it, or even say ...... Keep it for yourself.
It seemed crazy, but beyond that, he couldn't describe the splendor and rumors of the armor.
When Wu Liangzi had been in shock and didn't react, Jiuhan's hand had already touched the armor. At this moment, he sensed that something was wrong. As an armor, this is too soft to the touch, is it really the armor worn by the king of a country?
The next moment, the body of the Imprisoned Niu Guojun gave him the answer. At the same time that Nine-and-a-half's hand touched the armor, the armor turned into shards like snowflakes, shattered with a bang, and then disappeared. The corpse shattered as the armor shattered, gradually turning into dust in the air and then scattering, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Immediately, change resumed. The dust, which had already disappeared, suddenly gathered, but each dust was the size of a bean, and gradually gathered together, emitting a dazzling golden color. Gradually, a small whirlpool formed within this small space, and the golden dust gathered around the whirlpool, turning into a human form at an extremely fast speed, and then the man's body reappeared.
Only this time he was not an entity but a phantus, and his body was fluctuating as if it was about to dissipate in the next second.
Under the stunned eyes of Jiu Ban and Wu Liangzi, the man who exuded a golden phantom all over his body lowered his head, looked at his hands and found that he seemed to be a phantom now, and then sighed softly: "Could it be that I...... Are you dead?"
Hearing him speak, Jiu Ban suddenly stepped forward and bowed, and then asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but the Prisoner Niu Guojun?"
The golden phantom was obviously the Prisoner Cow Monarch, but at this time his face was completely ignorant, as if he didn't know anything. "Exactly. Who are you?"
At this moment, Jiu Ban and Wu Liangzi behind him knelt down on one knee, and then Jiu Ban said: "In the lower Jiu Ban, this girl behind her is a disciple of Shaohong Guoshi. Mistakenly enter the place where the monarch cultivates, and ask the monarch to atone for his sins!"
Jiuhan's voice was a little excited, after all, with the birth of the Imprisoned Niu Monarch, I'm afraid everything will be much easier. Although at this time, he still couldn't determine whether the Imprisoned Niu Guojun was alive or dead, he had also heard of the saying of "Immortal". The so-called "Immortal Man" is almost the same realm as Shaohong's current realm. Although they are not identical, the "Celestials" are the realms before they take a step forward and become immortals, while the "Immortals" are a small number of "Celestials" who are still lucky to survive after the failure of the catastrophe and survive in the world in the state of human beings, but have lost their qualifications to become immortals. The realms of the two are different, but their cultivation is almost the same, not to mention that the identity of the Prisoner Niu Guojun is there, as long as he has him, he will be able to completely suppress Shaohong.
Prisoner Niu Guojun smiled a little miserably, his face was sad, "It's okay, it's okay, what time is it now, how long has Shaohong been in charge of the state on my behalf?"
Jiu Ban had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Shaohong National Teacher has been in charge of national politics for more than ten years. β
"Oh...... I see," said the Prisoner Cow Monarch softly, "It turns out that I have been dead for so many years. β
When these words reached the ears of Jiu Ban and Wu Liangzi, the cold sweat on the backs of the two suddenly fell. For more than ten years, could it be said that the Imprisoned Niu Guojun had died more than ten years ago, and Shaohong had been hiding the news?
"You and I are also fated to meet," the phantom of the Imprisoned Niu Kingdom Monarch suddenly took out a stool out of nowhere, and then sat in front of Jiu and a half like that, "Come, tell me about the past few years, my time is running out." β
For Wu Liangzi, this is also the first time she has seen the imprisoned Niu Guojun. As a prisoner of the cow country, Wu Liangzi trembled and knelt behind the nine halves without daring to say a word, and even dared not breathe more. Instead, Nine and a Half stepped forward and explained the ins and outs of everything clearly.
He started with the country of the loser, and then told about the chaos of the countries, and then when the two countries were defeated, the king of the imprisoned Niu country sighed. But when he talked about the battle between the two in Shiwang City, the eyes of the Prisoner Niu Guojun gradually became serious, and it was not until he explained the cause and effect one by one that the other party's brows gradually relaxed.
After listening to the narrative of the ninth and a half years, the Prisoner Niu Guojun finally let out a long sigh: "This is really ...... If I had helped Shaohong find that child back then, wouldn't there have been so many incidents now? It seems that it is not only a sin for me to go mad and die, but also a crime that I deserve. β
Listening to the monarch's sigh, Wu Liangzi finally came to his senses after a long time. She suddenly took a step forward and then continued to kneel on the ground, and said to the imprisoned Niu Guojun: "I still hope that the monarch will go out of the customs and save the people from fire and water." β
"You're trying to say that you want me to go back to the land of the cows?" the monarch shook his head, the huge helmet still glowing golden. Although there are phantoms all over the body, in the eyes of Jiu Ban and Wu Liangzi, the helmet does not seem to be a phantom, and it is still real.
"Yes. Wu Liangzi said firmly.
But the Prisoner Cow only smiled lightly and refused. "Impossible, kid. I'm just a lonely ghost who has been dead for a long time, and if you hadn't happened to come across my corpse and dispatched the last thing I left in this world, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a chance to say a few words to anyone else. To tell you the truth, I'm afraid I have to thank you. Listening to the words of the Imprisoned Niu Guojun, the expressions of Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng dimmed suddenly. They were already outlaws, and they had no choice but to flee into the forbidden land. Now hope has just appeared, but it has been shattered in an instant, so wouldn't it be even more hopeless to defeat Shaohong?
The figure of the Imprisoned Niu Guojun gradually dimmed, and gradually became thinner to a point where it could not be seen, but the helmet was still held on the head by the phantom, but at this moment, he stepped forward and circled around the nine and a half and then said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, you already have the Holy Realm cultivation?"
"Yes. Nine and a half replied in a deep voice.
The Imprisoned Cow Monarch laughed, and then put one of his hands on the top of Jiuhan's head, "Child, I'm about to disappear, and I can't interfere with the changes in either the Prisoner Cow Country or this world." But you are different, you are already a Saint Realm cultivator, even if Shaohong has arrived at the Saint Realm many years ago, at least now I can help you so that you have the ability to compete with it. Forget it, just think of it as a chance for me to give you. β
Immediately, he looked at Wu Liangzi and Wei Xicheng, who were half-kneeling on the ground, and Wei Xicheng, who was unconscious, raised his hand, and a spiritual light entered Wei Xicheng's body, and then the prisoner Niu Guojun sighed softly: "It's not easy to practice, don't die easily." β
After speaking, the figure really began the process of complete dissipation. The golden helmet slammed to the ground, and the figure of the Imprisoned Niu Monarch started from his feet and slowly turned into ashes from the bottom to the top and drifted away. The gray powder continued to separate from it and then spread out in all directions, but in contrast, a golden aura slowly came out of it, and passed through its hands on the nine-and-a-half head and into its body.
This is the method of empowerment.
On the head of the nine-and-a-half, the gold intensifies. When the golden light shone and then filled the room, suddenly all the light disappeared, and everything was calm in an instant, except for a little candle in the grotto, which shone between the light and the extinction.
Jiu Ban was completely kneeling there, kneeling in front of Wu Liangzi with his back to her, his head hanging down.
Wu Liangzi stood up and stepped forward, she gently lifted the head of the nine and a half, but what she saw was a pair of golden eyes. What imprinted on her mind at the same time as her golden eyes was the majestic and surging energy in her nine-and-a-half body. She felt that in Jiuhan's body, both momentum and cultivation were climbing steadily, straight into the sky, but Jiuhan only had exhaustion on his face at this time, as if he had just experienced a serious illness, and his face was pale.
"I might ...... It's time for some sleep. Nine and a half said weakly, and then fell to the ground, dizzy.
Wu Liangzi was shocked, she thought that the other party was exhausted at this time, and she was about to take out her magic staff to treat Jiuhan, but at this time, Wei Xicheng's voice came from in front of her: "Don't move, let him rest for a while." β
Wu Liangzi raised his head in a panic and looked at Wei Xicheng, "Brother Wei? Is it really okay for Jiu Ban to be fine?"
At this time, Wei Xicheng had already woken up, and his face was a little pale, but it was much better than that of a coma. At this time, this sturdy middle-aged man seemed to have recovered his body under the aura of the imprisoned Niu Guojun, and he leaned against the wall in the grotto and said to Wu Liangzi: "It's okay, it's just an empowerment technique, just like the master did to me back then......
His voice grew quieter and quieter, and his eyes shifted from nine and a half to his hands, as if to evoke memories.
In the depths of the grotto, there is only an ever-bright lamp and three people here, as if they are born people, unaware of what is happening in the outside world.
In the twilight, in the south of Huqin City, the mighty 30,000 troops camped and camped, stretching endlessly, and the momentum was like a rainbow. Among them, the war horses neighed and gathered like thunder, as if they were about to fight a tough battle.
Dozens of small groups of rangers came out of formation, quickly approaching Chengtou, stopping in the area south of Huqin City where the archers were firing, and then looking up as if to observe the enemy's situation. These small bands of rangers came and went as fast as they could, coming and going like the wind as if they were trying to dismount each other.
In Huqin City, something that had never appeared before now appeared. The cost is expensive, and it is said that ten crossbows can be worth a city at this time, and there are more than 30 crossbows aimed at the enemy. Its range is so long and so powerful that it far exceeds everyone's imagination. In fact, the rangers sent by Jin Zhuzi's troops had already entered the range of the sky-turning crossbow, but the defenders in Huqin City did not move, and did not want to make meritorious contributions first.
Gradually, the number of rangers increased. The Nasir Rangers were constantly out of range of the archers, shouting at the head of Huqin City, as if trying to lure their troops out of the city, but never received a response.
"Huqin City's wreck, come out and fight with grandpa?"
"Don't be still nestled in the girl's bed now, right?"
"Hey, isn't that Shaohong just a girl!hahahahahaha......haha
The shouts continued, and just as the number of rangers gradually increased to nearly a thousand, Shaohong suddenly appeared above the city. The moment Shaohong appeared, all the rangers were silent. Without looking, they immediately reined in their horses and ran in the direction of their own camp, without any intention of stopping, and in an instant they were out of the range of the crossbow.
At the same time, in Shaohong's field of vision, there was a person in the enemy's tent who slowly reined in his horse, this person's expression was indifferent, but his face was no longer young. One by one, the Rangers passed by them silently, as if they had already reached a consensus.
That man was none other than the Golden Bead.
At the same time as Jin Zhuzi rode out of the camp, dozens of huge catapults appeared from the camp of Jin Zhuzi at the same time, slowly advancing with his pace, and together they stopped outside the range of the archers at the head of Huqin City.
The Sky Overbow can kill a Half-Saint powerhouse in a single hit, while the Catapult's range is terrifying. Although the defenders of Huqin City were able to destroy the catapults with the sky-turning crossbows, the crossbows fired by the sky-turning crossbows were crossbow arrows after all, which could kill people but destroyed artifacts were still much worse;
In this way, the country of the imprisoned cattle has fallen behind.
Jin Zhuzi rode a horse and stood still, and shouted to Shaohong at the head of Huqin City: "Shaohong National Master, haven't you surrendered until now?"
Shaohong did not respond.
"I am only 30,000 soldiers, but I can come to your Huqin City unscathed, don't you understand what is going on at this time? If you resist stubbornly, I am afraid that the people in Huqin City will suffer from the war. β
Jin Zhuzi was able to lead the army to come here unharmed, in fact, thanks to Tan Yiju's credit. Tan Yiju has a certain attainment in illusion, although it is not as good as the eight feathers, but it is still effective for ordinary soldiers. Every time he passed through a city, he first cast an illusion on the defenders so that they could open the door and let them pass. As for the so-called two-person soldiers divided into two roads, it was just a pretext to let them out, in fact, the 30,000 troops came to Huqin City under the protection of Tan Yiju, and Shaohong approached.
There is a pot of Tan, which is also where Jin Zhuzi's confidence lies, although he has never seen the figure of Jiuhan, but presumably the two armies will fight, and it is inevitable.
