240: Skull Carriage
The Divine Soldier Tiger is formed by an unknown alien demon who likes to eat people, and then mixed with the vertebrae of Chiyou's mount, the War Tiger. Therefore, this murderous knife itself also inherits the characteristics of the alien demon outside the sky. Anyone who dies under the tiger's spirit will inevitably be devoured and then transformed into the sword master.
Xiao Sheng didn't know this characteristic of Tiger Spirit beforehand. However, after wielding the divine weapon and killing the two brothers Zhang Chunyang and Zhang Zixuan with one sword, he suddenly felt that there was a warm flow of heat, which quickly poured into his body through the handle of the knife, and then filled his limbs and hundreds of remains.
In an instant, every atom that made up the body let out a cheerful cry at the same time. And then I can't wait to swallow this warm current completely.
However, compared to the overall needs of the body, all the flesh and blood essence of the two great grandmaster-level masters was only a drop in the bucket. After absorbing these flesh and blood essences, the body not only showed no signs of satisfaction, but was stimulated to have suppressed hunger and thirst for a long time, and constantly sent out bursts of hunger and thirst.
Knowing this time, Xiao Sheng understood. For a long time, he had underestimated the Ripple Immortal Dao too much, and he had underestimated his body too much.
The Ripple Immortal Dao, especially the Ripple Immortal Dao that was improved by the fusion of the Fourteen Princes' domineering energy, does not cultivate true qi, and directly starts from the cells that make up the body. The stronger the body, the faster the cultivation realm will improve. On the other hand, the higher the level of cultivation, the more you need a strong body. The two complement each other and are indispensable.
In Mount Tai's Eight Gods Sealing Evil Palace, Xiao Sheng absorbed the power of the gods remaining in the hall and officially stepped into the realm of the Great Grandmaster. If it is said that when he was in the realm of the grandmaster, Xiao Sheng's physical condition was a fish pond, then now, he has become a lake.
However, the amount of water in the lake cannot be increased in a vacuum. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Sheng should actually retreat immediately, keep recuperating, and try his best to increase his water volume. Until the entire lake is completely filled, you can't do anything with anyone to avoid unnecessary losses.
But this brand-new ripple immortal path was created by Xiao Sheng himself. Therefore, how to practice at each step, what new problems will appear after improving the realm, and so on, Xiao Sheng can only cross the river by feeling the stones, and there is no precedent to follow at all.
There is not enough water in the lake, and it is impossible to exert the true strength of this realm. But that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem was that after Xiao Sheng stepped into the realm of the Great Grandmaster, he had no time to retreat at all. What followed was a series of fierce battles in the Sealed Evil Palace.
With the amount of water in the original fish pond, the only way to cover the consumption of a lake is to overdraw the body's origin. On the surface, it seems that there are no drawbacks for the time being. In fact, Xiao Sheng's body has suffered extremely serious injuries because of this overdraft. But for a short time, I didn't notice it.
If this continues, Xiao Sheng's body will definitely continue to fail because he can't bear it. In the end, it is to exhaust the source, run out of oil, and die with a whimper.
But now, the Tiger Spirit ability has completely solved this problem. Zhang Chunyang and Zhang Zixuan, as masters at the level of a great grandmaster, are full of blood essence, and compared with ordinary people, they are naturally extremely thick. Killing them, Xiao Sheng was able to make up for it greatly.
Although, it is not enough to fill the entire lake completely. But at least, the deficit caused by the previous fierce battles has been fully compensated. There is even a slight surplus. This business, obviously, the Fourteenth Prince finally earned it.
I sighed. Xiao Sheng didn't stop. He stepped along, walked towards the iron heart, and smiled slightly.
Tie Xin couldn't bear it anymore, and with the sound of "dang chang~", the dragon scar sword fell to the ground. Before the sound fell, Tie Xin had already hugged Xiao Sheng tightly, and he was reluctant to let go. Suddenly, the hot teardrops were like pearls, one by one, falling down. That strong feeling of attachment seems to have been transformed into substance, and the two are completely connected, and they can no longer be separated.
Some helpless, some ashamed, but at the same time some joy. Xiao Sheng raised his hand and gently stroked Tie Xin's hair, and muttered: "Because you can be extremely affectionate, you can be extremely capable of sword." The sword is the heart, the heart is the sky, so the way of the sword is the way of heaven. Between gains and losses, a sword gives birth to ten thousand laws...... "vaguely, as if there is an understanding.
Although Tiexin heard every word, he listened to it in his ears. But at this moment, she was lying on Xiao Sheng's chest, and she only felt that her whole body was filled with an incomparably warm sense of security. So at this moment, she didn't think about anything. Regardless of whether this mysterious man is his father Nangong Yi or not. Tie Xin only knew that in his mind, his position was no longer replaced by anyone.
"窸窸窣窣~窸窸窣窣~"
A very slight and strange sound suddenly sounded from all directions at the same time. Xiao Sheng noticed it immediately, and Tie Xin immediately woke up. Without thinking, she grabbed it with her backhand, and the dragon mark sword that fell to the ground immediately flew up automatically and was held hard by her. Then he turned around, raised his sword to his chest, and was on guard.
Xiao Sheng smiled and shook his head, reached out and patted her shoulder, signaling not to be nervous. Then look around. I saw that in the dark night, under the embers of the fire clouds, in the south, east, west, and northwest, there were countless black shadows at the same time, forming groups of people, surging densely. At first glance, there are at least a thousand of them.
These dark shadows, at first glance, seem to be human. But he was covered with only a piece of cloth around his waist as a cover. His skin is as dark as iron, his hands and feet are long, he crawls on the ground, and his movements are extremely agile. With sharp fingers and claws, a head of red hair like fire, a fierce light in their eyes, and a mouth full of fangs, it is very reluctant to say that they are human. It's better to say that this is simply a group of large spiders in human form, which is more appropriate
In a moment, a large group of humanoid spiders had surrounded Xiao Sheng and Tie Xin. However, they did not pounce on them, but only bared their teeth and kept roaring at the two of them as a threat.
Tie Xin is the first of the top ten heroes in the rivers and lakes, and he has just broken through the limit because of his emotional outburst and cultivated to the next level. Therefore, this large group of ugly monsters that are neither human nor ghostly, although they are around, cannot wander. Tie Xin didn't have the slightest fear, but felt a little disgusting. She frowned and said, "These...... What exactly,"
"It's people. Or rather, once a person. ”
Xiao Sheng frowned with a faint sense of anger, and said slowly: "With a variety of special drugs, coupled with extremely cruel training methods, people are deliberately refined into monsters who have no self-awareness, only know how to obey orders, and are not afraid of pain and death. It is also very convenient to use as a slave and a tool for killing. ”
Tie Xin was taken aback and blurted out: "Refining people into slaves, this ...... This is too hurtful. Could it be that it's the Heaven and Earth Alliance again," In an instant, she remembered the Heaven and Earth Alliance's Earth Venerable Envoy Fierce Hades, and the group of half-human and half-beast demon beast legions under his command.
Xiao Sheng shook his head, and then raised his head: "Not only is he the master of the beast slave, but he can also mobilize the dignified and upright master of the sect for his own use, and your Excellency must also be a person with great status." In that case, why hide your head and tail again, sneaky, if you want a tiger, come and get it yourself. ”
"Hey, hehe, hahahahaha~~"
A burst of arrogant laughter suddenly erupted in the night sky in the distance. Immediately afterwards, the sound of chariots and horses sounded. The mastermind behind everything tonight is finally about to reveal the true face of Lushan.
In a few moments, a dark carriage appeared on the other side of the road. The carriage is simply decorated, but the horses that pull it are by no means simple. Under the moonlight, Tie Xin could see clearly. What kind of horse is this, it's just a skeleton of white bones.
"The dark night lurks in the shadow of the dragon, and the white bones open the way to the underworld. Raise your eyebrows to kill the world, and King's Landing is in charge of Jiuding. ”
A long groan of arrogance resounded through the night sky. Thousands of beast slaves, prostrate on the ground at the same time, bowing down to the carriage. I only heard a sharp sound of "quack~" passing, and the skeleton horse retracted its hooves and remained motionless. Immediately afterwards, the curtain of the carriage moved lightly, and a proud figure walked out.
With a crown on his head, he is wearing a golden dragon robe, and he is full of royal spirit and is colorful. Appearance, but thirty. The facial features are handsome, but the face is black, and the long hair is all dark on the left and snow-white on the right. The contrast is strong and eerie.
Xiao Sheng's eyes flashed. Clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Sima, I am glad to meet." ”
This yin-yang-faced man in a dragon robe originally looked like no one in his eyes. But Xiao Sheng's sentence "Brother Sima" was immediately like a blow to the head, completely beating the arrogance between his eyebrows. In an instant, all the muscles on his face became extremely stiff at the same time. The face that was already weird now looks like a mask.
"Haha, hahahaha~~ Okay, good. Nangong Yi, I underestimated you. ”
In just a few breaths, the man had fully regained his composure. He stepped on the back of the skeleton horse, put his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "This king, Sima is free." The fifth grandson of Emperor Gaozu Xuan. Knighted King Zhao. Jin Xigong, don't come forward to see you yet,"
Emperor Gaozu Xuan is Sima Yi. At that time, as Cao Wei's minister, he staged a coup d'état and actually took over the power of the country. After the efforts of his sons Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, he finally officially usurped the Wei State and established the Jin Dynasty during the time of his grandson Sima Yan. Sima Yi was posthumously crowned emperor because of this.
Five indiscriminate China, barbarians invaded the Central Plains. The court of the Great Jin Dynasty was forced to cross to the south, and the capital was Jiankang, which was known as the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history. Sima Rui, the first emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was the fourth grandson of Sima Yi. As for the current emperor who is sitting in the Dragon Court, he is the sixth grandson of Sima Yi. Sima Xiaoyao claimed to be the fifth grandson of Sima Yi, so he was the uncle of the current emperor. The dignity of status is unmatched in the royal family.
In addition, the Jin Dynasty was knighted, and there were princes and marquises. In order to win over the Nangong family, the Great Jin Dynasty canonized Nangong Yi as a duke. The fief is Jinxi County, to which Taihu Lake belongs.
So now, Sima Xiaoyao calls Xiao Sheng the Duke of Jin Xi, but he secretly reminds the other party that there is a difference in the dignity and inferiority of each other, Sima Xiaoyao wants to use this behavior to suppress Xiao Sheng, and at the same time, he also uses this to redeem a little, because he is called to break his identity and slightly lose the momentum.
