Chapter 172: Xuanjian Proves Prestige

Zhao Xiao was originally intoxicated by the mysterious artistic conception, but suddenly a drastic change woke him up.

"Over there...... Horned Cave? Not good! ”

With an exclamation, Zhao Xiao didn't have time to say anything, and flew towards the east.

"Days." Lu Wangji sighed softly, so he had to pick up Yaoqin, abandon the quiet landscape, and fly up.

Zhao Huang drummed up his true qi, and rushed back to Pujia Pass with the wind, and from time to time there was an earth-shattering impact in the direction of Jiaoyu Cave.

Looking up at the sky, the clouds opened like a tide. Even if the Horned Cave was far out of sight, Zhao Xiao could sense a terrifying coercion approaching.

Although he had long known that the seal of the Horn Cave was about to collapse, Zhao Huang had never heard from masters such as Liang Tao or Zhang Duanjing. Previously, Liang Tao haunted Pujia Pass, and Zhao Xiao guessed that the day when the Jiaoyu Cave was broken was approaching.

However, until Zhao Huang ascended the altar to practice the law, cured the plague, and even such a major event as the meteor flying and falling, there was not the slightest movement in the Jiaoyu Cave.

Over time, Zhao Huang himself also left it behind, after all, once the Demon King Horn was born, it would not be Zhao Xiao's turn to deal with it.

It's just that now that Zhao Huang has replaced General Wei in Pujia Pass, it is still unknown whether the Jiaoyu Cave will implicate the surrounding populated settlements after the closure is broken.

But at present, almost the elite in Pujia Pass is exhausted, and the three pavilion leaders who came to help are all gone, and there are less than 5,000 soldiers and horses available in the city, and most of them are prisoners.

Zhao Huang had a premonition of uneasiness in his heart, the current Pujia Pass can be regarded as the emptiest time since the war between the two countries, in case the master of the Jiuli Kingdom left his army and came to attack and harass the Pujia Pass and the Jiaoyu Cave desperately, the consequences would be unimaginable!

When Zhao Huang returned to Pujia Pass, many people in the city were running in all directions, the garrison soldiers were also a little panicked, and the military officials were looking for Zhao Huang inside and outside the palace courtyard, like headless flies.

"When the people return home, don't stay outside!" Seeing this situation, Zhao Xiao stood in mid-air and violently raised his true qi, and his mouth was like a thunderous sound, spreading all over the city: "The soldiers of each battalion will go to the city to garrison according to the rules, and those who escape will be killed immediately!" ”

Zhao Huang, who returned to Pujia Pass, gave up the idea of being out of the dust, and immediately showed a bit of the bearing of a general of the unified army, and gave orders without hesitation.

The soldiers and people in Guancheng looked up and saw Zhao Xiao appearing, as if they had witnessed the arrival of a god, and their hearts suddenly settled. The people packed up their things and hid in their homes, closed the doors, and the soldiers of each battalion quickly distributed their weapons and armor, and climbed the city wall to watch the tower.

For a while, the flag was unfurled, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

"Zhao Changshi, what happened?"

When Zhao Xiao landed in the courtyard, he immediately summoned all the military officials and monks in the city to come, and someone couldn't wait to ask.

"There is an unexpected movement in the direction of the Jiaoyu Cave, and I am worried that the Jiuli Kingdom sent people to attack and disturb it." Zhao Xiao said while packing up the magic things.

Zheng Siyuan was shocked: "Horned Cave? Isn't there a seal forbidden? ”

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xiao thought that at this critical moment, it was still necessary to confess: "The sealing of the Horn Cave is difficult to last long, I am worried that the current change is a sign of the birth of the Demon King." ”

Although everyone present was shocked, almost none of them had experienced the years when the Jiuli Kingdom Witch Zhu Cao Imperial Snake and Insect invaded in a big way. It has been a long time since the seal of the Horn Cave was formed, and for the soldiers and civilians in Pujia Pass, they only knew that there was such a place, and only a few old people still remembered the situation of snakes and insects everywhere back then.

"Send someone to deliver the letter to General Wei immediately." Zhao Xiao handed a handwritten letter to Lieutenant Zhang, and at the same time said: "Almost all the monks of the pavilion have been transferred out of the city, and now there is a shortage of manpower, so I will personally go to the altar to practice the Dharma to guard against enemy attacks.

Zheng Siyuan, you take out all the magic charms that you can use right now, just in case you need them urgently. Lu Daoyou, please also ask you to guard the west of the city on your behalf, if there is a demon and witch of unknown origin, don't talk nonsense, just knock it down. ”

Zhao Huang gave a few instructions, and everyone went away according to their orders, and he personally came to the altar by the well.

Just as Zhao Xiao was about to ascend the altar, Ling Xiao suddenly said, "You still plan to ascend the altar?" ”

"At this moment, where can I retreat and avoid?" Zhao Xiao said: "Don't persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind!" ”

……

Wu Luo raised his left hand high, and his five fingers were clenched, and he heard him praise in a loud voice:

"All the dancers are recruiting Lin, and they are holding on to their might. The fireflies shine on the rotten valley, and the thunder rushes and beats the drums! ”

After singing an ancient witch ballad, dark red lightning appeared in his hand out of thin air. As Wu Luo threw down with all his might, lightning struck a dense mountain forest.

The smoke was gone, the trees were gone, and the scenery of the mountains and forests was nothing more than an illusion maintained by magic. After the spell was broken, a deep cave surrounded by high mountains on all sides was revealed. The dark red lightning struck down quickly, slashing into a layer of sealing barriers.

However, the seal did not break in response, but quickly mobilized the immortal spirit and clear qi, and condensed into a sky-high brilliance by itself. Wu Luo and the others hurriedly retreated as expected, watching the sky-rushing light destroy the clouds in the sky.

"Humph! After all, the seal is just a dead thing, even if it can fight back on its own, it doesn't know how to fight the enemy! Wu Luo tore off his robe, revealing the right half of his body that was possessed by the flesh and blood of the demon god, and the other five people in the company were either sarcoma growth, or covered with green hair, in short, none of them looked like normal living people.

Wu Luo shouted in a deep voice: "We have touched the Horn Cave Seal, and the masters of Huaxu Kingdom will arrive soon, everyone will do their best to force the seal to run out of qi." Once it's broken, set up a summoning ceremony! ”

When the words settled, the six witches were full of divine light, gathered and gathered, and turned into a phantom of a cow's hoof in mid-air, with a radius of more than a mile, as if the mountain was pressing on the top, and fell heavily towards the seal of the Horn Cave.

Shenwei is in the world, and the seal in the Horned Cave is like being induced, and it operates on its own, and the remnants of the valley are clear, turning into a counterattack offensive, erupting like a volcanic eruption, and confronting the Oxhoof Phantom.

Two immortal forces collided at the mouth of the narrow cave, immediately causing the surrounding mountains to shake and shake, the rock foundations squeezed each other, and for a time the landslide flowed, and the earth seemed to become a cloth that was easily lifted and moved, and the impact quickly spread outward.

Fortunately, the Jiaoyu Cave has long been designated as a forbidden place by Huaxu Country for dozens of miles, and there are no populated settlements around, and no people have been affected.

And the seemingly strong and indestructible Horned Cave Seal also came to an end, only to fight back in two waves, completely exhausting the already thin immortal spirit qi, the entire forbidden seal collapsed like a broken cup, and the terrifying power poured out.

The towering peaks around the entrance of the cave were directly slashed and blown apart by this force in an instant, and countless rubble fell in all directions, making Fang Yuan a mess.

Seeing that the seal was broken, the six people led by Wu Luo immediately rushed into the smoke and dust, regardless of the agitation.

After a while, the earth shook and stopped, and a round light like a mirror suddenly appeared in mid-air, Liang Tao stepped out of it, with a purple robe and a jade crown, obliquely pulling Ruyi, and the eagle eyebrows and falcons were cold and sharp, looking at the rolling dust waves below.

"Although I expected that you would be desperate to attack the Horn Cave, I didn't expect that in order to break the seal with one blow, you would actually let that old Kui Niu parasitize his body to prolong his life." Liang Tao sneered and snapped his fingers: "Aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to swallow your immortal soul to strengthen himself?" ”

I saw Liang Tao snap his fingers, and a little cold star flew down, forcing the dust waves away, revealing the dilapidated horn hole.

At this time, at the bottom of the deep cave, there is a giant snake spinning on the ground, the scales of the whole body that are more than stainless steel are reddish and black, and a pair of meat wings are hugged on the back, and the single horn on the top of the head is sharp, rough as rock.

"After being trapped for many years, how does it feel to be hundreds of thousands of fellow clans and masters?" Liang Tao smiled calmly: "This kind of appearance is not as vigorous as in the early years. ”

The Horned Demon King knew everything about people, but he didn't speak, his huge head slowly raised towards the sky, and a trace of fire erupted from his mouth, dripping to the ground with poisonous saliva, and even the hard rocks couldn't withstand corrosion.

"What? There are only six of you left? Liang Tao looked at the six people who were standing in their respective positions around the corner, and asked with a sneer: "With a blow from the star, the pond turned into scorched earth, and those who followed the red plague king to send the plague were probably also bombarded to the point that their flesh and bones were gone?" ”

"Liang Tao, do you think you will win?" Wu Luo struggled to support the sacrifice, and the qi and blood on his body continued to dissipate, and his face gradually turned pale.

"I really think I don't know your little thoughts?" Liang Tao raised one hand falsely, the Daming Treasure Mirror hung high in the sky, the mirror shone under the mirror, twenty-four pillars of light shrouded the deep cave, and the power of wind, thunder, water and fire gradually accumulated.

"I just think it's ridiculous." Liang Tao still had time to laugh while running the formation: "The dark candle is just a wisp of light alternating between heaven and earth, and the natural law of yin and yang rotation. It's sad and sad that the immortal soul is wasted in such a place! ”

When this statement was settled, the weather on Sunday was full of immortal power, and thousands of wind knives rained down.

And the demon king's horned dragon was also prepared, and his body hovered up, leaning on his iron and stone body, blocking countless wind knives for the six people of Wuluo. Each wind knife is enough to decapitate the heart, and make the horned body explode and ignite sparks.

The scales of the demon king were broken and shattered, like an abandoned palace room withstanding a night of strong winds, and the tiles fell one after another.

Liang Tao's eagle eyebrows were lightly raised, he saw that the demon king's horned dragon was a little weak, so he no longer reserved the temptation, and sacrificed the cloud pattern Ruyi in his hand, and submerged into the Daming Treasure Mirror above.

As soon as the mirror surface sparkled, a snowmane cloud beast appeared, with a large mouth in the blood basin, roaring and roaring, causing the avalanche of ten thousand frosts to fall, enough to dump the mountain peaks and freeze the rivers.

Although the Demon King's horned dragon is strong, he doesn't dare to be careless in the face of the real Wan Jun pressure, and a raging poisonous fire erupts from his mouth.

Ice and fire intersected, and a large area of hot mist suddenly exploded, filling the deep cave in a blink of an eye, and mortals who were in it were afraid that they would immediately burn their skin.

And Liang Tao's qi prohibition skill also spread into the cave along the hot mist, trying to seal off Wu Luo and the others, so that they had nowhere to hide.

But at the same time, the divine power fell from the sky, and the Great Ming Treasure Mirror was actually covered with a layer of shadow, and outside the twenty-four meteorological arrays of Zhou Tian, it was shrouded by another force.

"Iron barriers? Wrong. Liang Tao immediately noticed that something was wrong, and all the qi engines in the radius of heaven and earth were quickly pumped, and the light and shadow scenes in the distance also became dim and unknown.

"It's not the power of a candle." Liang Tao judged: "Using divine power to demarcate the enchantment, the Qi Machine, and the light of the sky are obviously to deal with me. ”

"Not bad!" At this time, listening to Wu Luo below shouting, blowing away the white mist, at this moment, his whole body was almost covered with wriggling flesh and blood, only a hideous face remained, and he looked up to the sky and smiled: "A person like you who cultivates immortals, if you want to perform magic, you must have internal and external senses and qi collusion. If you have no external qi, only one body of true qi mana, and no exhalation and cultivation, I think you can support it for a long time?! ”

Liang Tao was silent for a while, and looked at Wu Luo with a little compassion: "You have been thinking about it for so many years, and you have come up with such a way to deal with me?" ”

"Up!" Wu Luo didn't talk nonsense, the form of the six people changed greatly, and at this moment they were all covered in wriggling flesh and blood, their limbs were plump and strong, and some of their arms simply turned into sickles.

The six Wuluo and the demon king Jiaoyu did not hold on, but approached Liang Tao in unison, intending to fight in close quarters.

Liang Tao raised his hand to withdraw the Zhou Tian formation, and the Daming Treasure Mirror fell into his palm, and he saw him caressing the mirror, as if he was blind to the approaching strong enemy.

Wu Luo galloped along the huge body of the Demon King's horned body, his right arm covered with a layer of iron, and smashed towards Liang Tao like a sledgehammer.

Qiang――

But I heard a sword roar and a flash of blood, and Wu Luo was directly forced to retreat.

Fixing his eyes again, Liang Tao held the long sword, and the star Dou brilliance turned into a rune and loomed on the sword body, and at a glance, he knew that it was extraordinary iron.

At this moment, Liang Tao's appearance has also changed, and he does not see the original graceful and luxurious purple magic suit, but changes to a black arrow sleeve suit, reproducing the appearance of the sword patrol in the past.

"You are fortunate to wait for three lives." Liang Tao's eagle eyebrows added three more points of heroism and two points of rebelliousness: "If you can see the majesty of my Xuanjian, I will let you wait here today to prove the strength of my sword!" ”

……

With the help of the altar soldiers, Zhao Xiao saw the fighting method in the direction of the Jiaoyu Cave from a distance. However, the fierce battle made the qi disordered, yin and yang disordered, and it was difficult for the altar soldiers to get close.

Zhao Xiao could barely see Liang Tao appear in the Horn Cave, and then a divine power fell from the sky, isolating the inside and outside of the Horn Cave, and also frightened Zhao Xiao to quickly withdraw the soldiers.

"I didn't expect Jiuli Kingdom to really take the initiative to attack the Horn Cave." Zhao Xiao was shocked, but he was not too frightened.

Seeing Liang Tao come to the Corner Cave in person, Zhao Xiao felt a little relieved. No matter how disgusted he was with Liang Tao, he couldn't deny his immortal cultivation.

Even if he sensed that the gods of the southern soil might intervene again, uu read the book But with Zhao Xiao's understanding of Liang Tao, this person's backhands are endless, and it is not his turn to worry about him.

It's just that this risky attack of the Jiuli Kingdom made Zhao Huang feel puzzled - how crazy must these barbarians have to be to abandon the army and go straight to a place like Jiaoyu Cave alone?

Even if he is a master who can fly to the sky, he cannot be said to be without scruples. And compared with the head-on attack, Zhao Xiao felt that the other party's means of sending plague and epidemic were more difficult to deal with.

What's more, the Jiaoyu Cave is fixed, and a master like Liang Tao must be prepared in advance, just waiting for the master of the Jiuli Kingdom to go straight to the Jiaoyu Cave, and maybe he will take the opportunity to exterminate it in a battle.

The masters of the Jiuli Kingdom did not have the cover of the army, lacked the fortified city walls as a way out, and went straight to the Jiaoyu Cave alone, which was doomed to a dead end.

"If I were the commander of the enemy army, I wouldn't attack the Horned Cave alone. I can't say that I have to send a master to go straight to the empty Pujia Pass......"

Before Zhao Xiao's words fell, he raised his eyes and saw a figure flying straight over the south of the city.
