Chapter 235 - Horror
"Close!"
Just as everyone was talking, Tuoba Lei quickly made a handprint in his hand, and the gate of heaven above his head closed in response, and then slowly disappeared between heaven and earth.
"This ...... Is that the end of it?"
"Did the seal fail?"
As Tuoba Lei's Gate of Heaven dissipated, the towering tree that everyone thought would be sealed before was still standing there in good shape, and it didn't seem to be harmed at all.
However, Tuoba Lei didn't have the slightest sense of missing a hand, took a step forward, and said with a smile on his face: "Friends of the Tianyuan Empire ahead, I don't know if I can prove my identity and strength now?"
"Uh......" Everyone in the Tianxuan Empire has a black line.
This move "Heaven's Gate" proves that Tuoba Lei's identity is not fake, but the strength is ...... Seems a bit far-fetched.
However, just as this idea was born, a sudden change arose, and the leaves, branches, and trunks of the originally green and vigorous tree all aged and turned yellow at a rapid rate.
Call......
A breeze blew, the dead leaves were scattered all over the sky, and they quickly decomposed and differentiated with the wind, and at the same time, the lonely tree pole also seemed to be made of wind and sand, gently fluttering with the breeze, and finally completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
Grunt!
A series of swallowing saliva sounds came and went, and everyone, including Qin Feng, opened their mouths wide, looking at the lonely freshly baked giant pit in front of them, and kept telling themselves in their hearts that a moment ago, there was a towering tree here.
But in the blink of an eye, in a few breaths of time, the giant tree was blown away by a gust of wind!
That's right, blow, melt, it's over!
"Friends of the Tian Yuan Empire ahead, I wonder if you can prove my identity and strength now?" Ignoring everyone's shock, Tuoba Lei smiled and repeated the previous question again.
"Yes...... That's it!"
A black-robed man appeared in the dense forest ahead, came to everyone in a few flashes, and bowed slightly to Tuoba Lei:
"In the next is Xuanyuan Ying, the eighth prince of the Taiji Empire, who came here to receive friends from all walks of life in Tianyuan on the order of the prince, but the Heavenly Demon disciples are treacherous and cunning, so they have to be stricter. ”
Tuoba Lei heard that the person who was in charge of the Taiji Empire was the person in charge of the introduction, and he was overjoyed, and the hand behind his back couldn't help but give Qin Feng a thumbs up, but his face did not change color and said:
Xuanyuan Gongzi laughed, in extraordinary times, everyone is thinking about safety, so why blame. ”
"Son Tuoba, please come with me. Xuanyuan Ying was actually polite, nodded slightly, and then led everyone towards the depths of the dense forest.
"Hey, since this is a phantom array!"
Under the leadership of Xuanyuan Ying, the group quickly came to a stone wall and stopped, Qin Feng's consciousness was running Qimen gossip and found that there was not a stone wall at all, and it was suddenly a phantom array.
Sure enough, at the next moment, Xuanyuan Ying stretched out his hand and took out a formation talisman on top of the ring and threw it, and the stone wall in front of him suddenly fluctuated, and then quickly spread to both sides, revealing a huge whirlpool.
After doing all this, Xuanyuan Ying turned around and explained: "After all, the Hengduan Mountain Range is the lair of the Heavenly Demon Gate, for the sake of safety, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially arranged a phantom array, through this stone wall, it is the place where the major forces of Tian Yuan live. ”
"Fu Gongzi is thoughtful, let me wait for shame!" Tuoba Lei arched his hand, without hesitation in praise.
Entering the phantom array, what caught my eye was a white camp tent of different sizes, about five or six hundred, sporadically and randomly built between the rolling hills and woodlands.
Among them, there are also some tents that are relatively concentrated together, ranging from twenty to thirty, and the largest number of tents has at least sixty, there is no doubt that it is the camp of the Taiji Empire.
After all, the Taiji Empire, as the largest second-rate empire under the command of the Tian Yuan Empire, has reached a terrifying seventeen third-rate empires alone, which is more than four times the size of the Taixuan Empire.
The total number of the Eight Great Princes alone is close to more than one hundred and fifty people, and now there are more than sixty tents left, which is not surprising.
Under the leadership of Xuanyuan Ying, the group went straight to the camp of the Taiji Empire.
The leader of the Taiji Empire's trip to the Hengduan Mountains this time was the crown prince Fu Qingfeng, Fu Qingfeng was a generation of powerhouses even in the Tianyuan Empire, and even surpassed the winning battle of the Ying Dynasty.
is only twenty-four years old, and now he is already the peak powerhouse of the ninth stage of the Martial King, and according to the grapevine, Fu Qingfeng's strength is far above that of cultivation, and he once had a proud record of fighting against a long-famous Martial Emperor alone without falling behind.
Obviously, Xuanyuan Ying had sent back the news of the arrival of the Taixuan Empire in advance, and when the group approached the camp of the Taiji Empire, Fu Qingfeng had already gone out to greet him in advance, which could be said to have given enough face.
However, seeing that there were more than 20 people in the Taixuan Empire, Fu Qingfeng was obviously stunned, and then said with a grudge on his face:
"Brother Tuoba, our three major empires have all been beaten to the ground when they join forces, but your Taixuan Empire has been thriving all the way!"
Of course, more than 20 people are not very strong, if they really compete with the Taiji Empire, I am afraid that they can be killed in one round.
As the leader of the second-rate empire under Tian Yuan, more than 150 people in the Taiji Empire entered the Hengduan Mountain Range, and there was a strong man whose strength was comparable to that of the Martial Emperor, and there were only more than 60 people left at this time!
Regardless of personal strength, the Taixuan Five Kingdoms survived forty people, and now more than half are left, which makes people depressed to think about.
Tuoba Lei naturally heard the sour taste in Fu Qingfeng's words, and said with a haha: "When I first entered the Hengduan Mountain Range, I encountered a little accident and delayed the trip, and then hurried all the way, but fortunately I finally caught up with the big army." ”
"Oh, so Brother Tuoba is a blessing in disguise?"
Brother Fu smiled. ”
Next, everyone will resist the Heavenly Demon Gate together, so Fu Qingfeng doesn't want to make a fuss, and simply complains, Xuanyuan Ying led everyone to find a vacant place to build a temporary camp, and Tuoba Lei was brought into the big camp.
Tai Chi Empire, inside the big camp and big tent. Zhou Heng of the Taizhou Empire and Yin Jiuyou of the Taiyin Empire are almost all there, and everyone is gathered around, as if they are discussing some topic.
Seeing Tuoba Lei coming in, although he wondered why the Tianxuan Empire was so late, he was also a representative of the top ten second-rate empires of Tianyuan, and he didn't look up to see him, and the two of them also stepped forward to salute enthusiastically.
After some unnutritious politeness, they sat down one after another.
Fu Qingfeng said with a smile: "After a short period of investigation, everyone has some understanding of the deployment of the Heavenly Demon Gate, but Brother Huyan has just arrived and doesn't know the details, so I will simply repeat it."
In this eight-hundred-mile defense line, the Heavenly Demon Gate has invested a total of one million evil cultivators, and the specific number of people is about 300,000 people in the first line of defense, 300,000 people in the second line of defense, and 400,000 people in the last line of defense.
And from the mouth of the evil cultivator who was captured before, I know that all the high-level martial kings who missed in the first and second lines of defense will not re-arm, but will directly rush to the last line of defense, this Brother Tuoba should have also discovered this, right?"
"Indeed, except for the fact that I encountered an ambush at the peak of the ninth rank of two Martial Kings at the same time at noon, I had hardly encountered an evil cultivator above the middle rank of the Martial King on the way. Tuoba Lei didn't hide it, and nodded directly.
"Brother Tuoba is really a blessing!" Hearing Tuoba Lei's words, Zhou Heng and Yin Jiuyou couldn't help but feel jealous.
Tuoba Lei smiled, and very sensibly used his trick - silence is golden.
Fu Qingfeng coughed lightly and continued to analyze: "Since Brother Tuoba said so, then most of the news will not be false, 1 million evil cultivators, according to the standard configuration of normal top sects, martial spirits occupy 70%, martial sects occupy 25%, and martial kings occupy 5%, that is, 50,000.
Of the 50,000 Martial Kings, 60% of the beginners, 30% of the intermediate ranks, 9% of the high-ranks, and 1% of the peak Great Perfection, then there are 500 Martial Kings of the Ninth Rank of the Peak Cultivators, and 4,500 High-level Martial Kings!
Of the 5,000 high-level martial kings, we deduct 1,000 wounded and killed, and now there are at least 4,000 people in the third line of defense who can fight.
4,000 people, 800 miles of defense line, that is to say, even if it is evenly distributed, there will be 5 high-level martial kings every other mile. And the high-level Martial King's qi induction is at least 10 miles.
In other words, no matter from which point we break through, in an instant, we will be besieged by at least 100 high-level martial kings within a radius of 20 miles. ”
"Shhh
Listening to Fu Qingfeng's analysis, Tuoba Lei obviously gasped, the third line of defense is very strong, he is prepared, but it is so strong, it is indeed beyond Tuoba Lei's expectations.
5,000 high-level martial kings! No wonder the Heavenly Demon Sect dared to shout at the major forces of the entire Tian Yuan Empire, no matter which second-rate empire such strength was placed in, it was almost very sweeping.
Tuoba Lei swallowed his saliva and asked a little worriedly: "Dare to ask Fu Gongzi, what is our strength now?"
Fu Qingfeng didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "How many people are left in the Taixuan Empire of Tuoba Gongzi, and how many of them are high-level martial kings?"
Tuoba Lei replied without thinking: "On the trip to the Hengduan Mountain Range, our Taixuan Empire dispatched a total of thirty-eight people, and now there are twenty-three people left, six of whom have the cultivation of high-level martial kings. ”
"!" As soon as Tuoba Lei said this, Zhou Heng and Yin Jiuyou couldn't help but roll their eyes again.
The most depressed is Zhou Heng, the Taizhou Empire occupies a geographical advantage, and in addition to the more than 70 Eight Great Princes on this trip, he also specially put together a team of 100 people in the military camp, including many high-level martial arts sects, and even strong martial kings.
But originally one hundred and seventy-two people, such a mighty team, although the rest are almost all elites, the total number is now less than fifty!
More than 100 of his own people were killed and wounded, but Tuoba Lei told him that only 15 people died, and this gap made him feel the urge to cut people.
