Chapter 409: Glacier Memory, Stability and Hidden Dangers (4k)
During the conversation between Mo Shoucheng and Huang Zhenwei, Zhao Qing actually only used the second sword, and the speed of his move was quite slow, which was naturally for a reason.
In the eyes of many Six Realm cultivators who had already rushed to the vicinity of the White Aries Cave, it was because her sword had leveraged the power of heaven and earth that was too powerful, so it was extremely heavy, and the sword speed was obviously slowed down, even causing the ice crystal sword in Zhao Qing's hand to crack some cracks.
However, compared to the unstoppable momentum carried by this sword, it should take a while to arrange the changing and complicated sword runes, and pay such a price, which should also be the only reason.
When the blue-white snow curtain dispersed and disappeared, and the extremely cold qi turned to zero, Zhao Qing also began to slowly raise her hand, and the tip of the sword sank slightly, causing a pale blue mountain of vitality to gradually form behind her, and quickly solidified with the passage of time.
The mountain has two peaks, in the middle of which is a canyon, the peak tip is straight into the clouds, showing a crystal white color, like a pile of ice and snow that has not melted for thousands of years, and there are layers of mist, like a fairyland, the mountain is undulating and continuous, and seems to be able to extend to the infinite distance.
Then, with the endless dazzling light released by the burning runes of the entire mountain, the snow and glaciers at the top of the ice peak began to melt, and the snow rushed down, so that in the middle of the blue mountain, a large river appeared.
The glacier is magnificent, and the boiling river rushes down from the top of the snow-capped mountains, stirring up heavy white water.
Naturally, this is not the real glacial snow water, but the tiny sword qi formed by the combination of countless extremely cold vitality and water vapor, which constantly converges together, and finally turns into an incomparably magnificent and colorful sword river under the reflection of holy light.
Although each sword qi was very weak, only the size of an ordinary water droplet, on weekdays, thousands of such sword qi rushed out together, and it was difficult to break through any of the six realms and seven realms of the body protection true element;
However, when the amount of sword qi it had accumulated reached an incredible level, it rushed down at the same time, but it brought an earth-shattering momentum, and there was a tremor in the air, forming an invisible tide between heaven and earth, which was unimaginably large.
And on the edge of this prohibitive and fearful glacier, at the col of this snow-capped mountain, suddenly there is a group of goats that are foraging for grazing by themselves.
Zhao Qing stood in the middle of the flock, following these white sheep grazing while walking, slowly walking in the direction of Xue Wangxu, dozens of zhang away, looking like there was no sign of fighting with others, but like a leisurely outing scene.
This is undoubtedly a situation that is difficult for many people to understand, and they feel that she seems to have misunderstood the situation she is in, and regards this sword competition with the Seven Realms Grandmaster as child's play, and even makes people laugh.
But Xue Wangxu, who faced this sword move, knew very well that compared with the majestic snow-capped mountains and glaciers, the illusory sheep that seemed to be useless and only decorative were actually the key and center of Zhao Qing's sword movement.
The snow-capped mountains on the plateau are undulating, and the glaciers under the mountains are rushing, which is not only an incomparably spectacular and stunning scenery, but also the most perfect artistic conception interpretation of the "Aries Glacier Sword Rune Sutra".
The reason why this sword scripture is called "Aries Glacier" is that in addition to the cold sword river of Haohao soup, it naturally has to be embellished with white sheep, and it should be in the form of "mountain grazing".
In fact, according to the earliest records of the Baiyang Cave, the patriarch who founded this sect was a herdsman who raised cattle and sheep in the snow-capped mountain area at first, and then got some opportunities to get out of the harsh alpine pastoral area and came to Changling to establish a sect.
The current environment where the Baiyang Cave Sect is located is also composed of two green mountains and a canyon with streams flowing in between, but due to the lack of the cold on the plateau, and the fact that the mountains are low and far less spectacular than the snow peaks, people who can comprehend the true meaning of the Sword Sutra are becoming rarer.
Secretly sensing the change in the artistic conception of this sword used by Zhao Qing, Xue Wangxu couldn't help but realize that he knew the true meaning of the "Aries Ice River Sword Rune Sutra":
A place with cows, sheep and pastures, although cold and lonely, is also a place of hope.
When Zhao Qing led the white sheep and kept walking forward, the glacier flowing beside her was no longer a simple glacier, but the hardships and obstacles she had experienced in life; The various colors of light in the glacier also revealed a more mysterious side, condensing into the brightest light in memory.
The dazzling sword light refracted in the glacier, reflecting the frozen memories, turning the entire world into a colorful glass world, evolving endless scenes, and giving people an indescribable sense of purity and holiness.
In the boundless silence and cold, a bit of soft and warm sword light faintly revealed, at this moment, it seemed to overflow in the hearts of every onlooker, everywhere, pervasive.
It was only at this moment that they realized that like the sword used by Xue Wangxu before, Zhao Qing's style of "Ice River Becomes Memories" was also a rare move supplemented by cold and brilliance, breaking the inherent impression of many people.
Even, even the Moshou City, which was dozens of miles away, was vaguely affected by the light scattered by this sword, and was shocked and amazed.
With his eyes, he could naturally see that the momentum of the surging glacier, after pouring down from the top of the snow-capped mountain, had a tendency to gradually decrease with the increase of distance.
However, when the Holy Light Realm like a glass Dharma Realm was formed, under the blessing of the continuous brilliance, there was no longer the slightest sense of weakening, on the contrary, it was constantly accumulating more energy, and the power was getting bigger and bigger, gradually breaking through its original limit.
A sword with such characteristics, even if it takes a long time to cast it, it can still be said to be a top-level move comparable to any peerless skill due to the formation of a small world with its own cycle and the fact that Binghe can bend and pursue.
……
With the overwhelming brilliance, when the cold and lonely sword river finally rushed in front of Xue Wangxu's body, this white-haired old man who had been silent in Changling for many years and seemed to have been forgotten had no intention of retreating and dodging.
Because of his understanding of the "Aries Ice River Sword Rune Sutra", he always felt that Zhao Qing's sword was a little unfinished, maybe it was not her full strength, at least it was definitely much faster in terms of moves. However, it is not known how much is hidden.
However, there was no doubt that Xue Wangxu wanted to resist such a sword, even if he used all the strength he could, he was not sure at all.
But as long as you do your best, you will have no regrets.
I saw him take a hard breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he bowed slightly, and the white jade sword in his hand that exuded a cold aura and dazzling light quickly lifted up, gushing out a cloud of white vitality.
It was as if a giant white ram's horn was coming out of his sword.
This white ram's horn was slightly curved, and the sharpest horn did not directly pierce the sword river rushing forward, but only grazed over it.
The widest part of the white sheep's horn, like a shield, blocked in front of Jianhe, leaned on it, and resisted it stubbornly.
A loud bang suddenly sounded in the sky, and there was a massive roar of heaven and earth vitality like a mountain.
In an instant, the icy sword river rushing down from the top of the towering snowy peak seemed to have hit another insurmountable and equally steep and upright mountain, and it couldn't help but begin to slow down and stagnate slowly, and even had a tendency to reverse and flow back.
Many of the students in the Aries Cave below have recognized this trick as the "Aries Hanging Horns" they once learned.
"Aries hanging horns" is the most ordinary, the entry can be awarded in the Aries Sword Sutra, the most ordinary style, but it is also the most extraordinary style, avoiding its edge, intended to hold each other, it is really the most weak sword in the Aries Cave.
Although its reputation is not obvious, it is clumsy, even if you look at the world, it is also one of the most stable and lasting sword moves in the world.
However, at this moment, Xue Wangxu's sword still couldn't completely hold the sword momentum that Zhao Qing had accumulated for a long time, but was constantly penetrated by the soft light emitted by the other party, and the huge wide horned body quickly decomposed and dissipated.
Although a small amount of sword qi at the front of the Icy Cold Sword River was blocked, this did not affect the vast majority of the sword qi after it to display its power, forcibly crushing it when the flaws of the "White Aries Horns" were revealed.
With a dull tremor, Xue Wangxu's whole person slid backwards sharply in mid-air, turning into a bright meteor in an instant, crossing a distance of dozens of miles, and finally falling between the mountains and forests in the distance.
Thousands of nearby onlookers looked up at the sky.
They saw clouds in the sky forming huge rings that were spreading outward.
The sky is exceptionally blue.
Only Zhao Qing was still standing alone in this place where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was twisted by the sword intent, his expression was calm and natural, and he lightly reached out with a large Yuan Qi hand and grabbed the white jade sect master's small sword that fell from mid-air.
The winner is decided.
But the audience was silent, and no one felt that Xue Wangxuan was too embarrassed by the defeat, so he was contemptuous.
There are even many people who believe that the two sides of this battle are probably stronger than the battle in which Tianjian Tiansi Yece coldly killed Zhao Chu a few days ago.
In fact, under such a peerless blow, it is beyond the imagination of many people to be able to not be bombarded into a blood mist and have no bones left.
The strength of the Seven Realms Mountain Moving Grandmaster can be seen from this.
At the last moment, although it could be seen that Zhao Qing had no killing intent and had no reason to hurt his life, Xue Wangxu still resorted to the means of abandoning the sword and unloading his strength, further urging the "Aries Hanging Horns" to ensure that he would not be seriously injured by the aftermath of this sword.
Seeing Xue Wangxu's resistance from afar, and the response to resolve the remaining strength, Mo Shoucheng was also amazed, in his opinion, purely in terms of the understanding and application of swordsmanship, the other party had surpassed the vast majority of the Seven Realms Lower Grade Grandmasters in the world, but his strength was insufficient due to old age.
Even if it was replaced by himself, in such a situation, because he was also an old man with insufficient strength, it was impossible to do better than Xue Wangxu.
And the opponent he was facing, it was naturally much stronger, although the glacier lightsaber he used seemed to be quite restrictive and needed time to accumulate strength, but as long as he had the cooperation of a reliable companion, he might be able to temporarily force back a top-level grandmaster of the Seven Realms.
As for Zhao Qing's sudden appearance and doubts about her identity, when she used the secret sword scripture that was more authentic and comprehended more deeply than the Aries Cave Sect Master, there was naturally nothing to question.
After all, although there are many stories of geniuses recorded in the cultivators' classics, being able to create a new trick that has never been seen before in the sect is the only way to see and comprehend the Sword Sutra that only the legendary sword leader of the world in the Bashan Sword Field can do.
Moreover, due to the essence of the true swordsmanship of the Aries Cave, after this appearance, it can almost reach the extreme in the relevant field, and imitate and innovate it without flaws, even if the king was resurrected back then, it should be impossible to do it, right?
"The Lushan Alliance is imminent, and what the Great Qin Dynasty needs is stability and no chaos." Looking at the direction of Baiyang Gorge for a while, Mo Shoucheng turned his head and looked at Huang Zhenwei, who couldn't see the details of the battle clearly, but was also deeply shocked by the power of the collision of sword qi, and slowly spoke:
"It is very likely that Bai Shanshui, Zhao Si, Zhao Yi and others lurking in the Changling area are the hidden dangers that Daqin urgently needs to solve now."
"After seeing that such a cultivator with combat strength comparable to the Thirteen Marquis has emerged in the Aries Cave, the queen should choose not to continue to interfere in the affairs of the Aries Cave, at least, after the completion of the alliance."
"But just in case, after the Shendu Prison has registered the relevant dossier of that Aries Cave Grandmaster, it's best to show me a copy."
With the support of the Fa change and many unparalleled cultivators, Emperor Yuanwu weakened the power of all the old magnates, and destroyed the Zhao, Han, and Wei dynasties in succession.
But in the following bloody storm, countless cultivators of the Great Qin Dynasty died, many powerful armies died, and even the Bashan Sword Field, which had faintly become the first sect in the world, completely disappeared into the long river of history.
Taking advantage of this great injury, Emperor Chu and his Great Chu Dynasty won a victory over Qin, and in the great war of the third year of Yuanwu, the Qin army was annihilated by 200,000, lost countless chariots, and suffered a great defeat, so that they had to cede land and sue for peace.
So far, the severed Yangshan County has not been recovered.
The Great Chu Dynasty only sent an unloved prince to stay in Changling as a proton in accordance with the covenant at that time.
One son is 600 miles of land, and he is also a son who is not loved by the king of Chu for 600 miles of fertile land and hundreds of thousands of Qin people, this matter is a shame for all Qin people.
At the same time, in order to avoid years of endless wars, the four strongest dynasties in the world signed a non-aggression pact, and for a period of nine years, they made another alliance in Lushan.
It is related to the struggle between the Great Qin Dynasty and the three major dynasties of Chu, Yan and Qi, and the Lushan Alliance, which will be held next spring, is undoubtedly a first-class event.
And since the emperors of various dynasties and many of the world's top cultivators will gather together, battle wits and courage, and reveal each other's deepest strength, it will also be a grand event that will be rare in the ages.
"The stakes are very high this time, and the next Changling will depend on you to guard it. Hope everything is okay and there are no accidents. Thinking of the news related to the Lushan Alliance, Huang Zhenwei replied respectfully, and at the same time, he secretly hid a little worry in his heart.
What Changling needs most now is stability, although having said that, considering that if the Aries Cave and the queen's family clash again, the queen may not regard the two grandmasters of the Aries Cave as a potential hidden danger and calm the incident before the Lushan Alliance.
As she used to do in the early years of Yuanwu, she was unexpected, quick to act, and ruthless in her methods.
In fact, Huang Zhenwei even knew of a secret matter, Emperor Yuanwu and Empress Yuanwu had already formulated a plan to raid and recapture Yangshan County, which had been ceded for nine years, before the Lushan Alliance was officially convened, to show the other three dynasties the great strength of Great Qin.
And about Yangshan County at the junction of Qin and Chu, in fact, there are many hidden things that he doesn't know, but he knows about the city, for example, Wang Jingmeng was born in Yangshan County, because of that person's influence, Yangshan County was actually the first area of the Great Qin Dynasty to complete the change.
After launching the Changling Rebellion, Zheng Sleeve handed Wang Jingmeng a letter, the content of which was that if he did not go to Changling, she would order the army to slaughter Yangshan County, slaughter the thirteen cities of Yangshan County, and not even let go of women and children.
In order to convince Wang Jingmeng of her determination, she directly slaughtered a city, planted the blame on the Chu army, and ceded Yangshan County to Chu afterwards. Emperor Chu got a big benefit in vain, so he didn't make a sound, and let his Chu army carry the black cauldron.
This appalling past, the current entire Great Qin, except for the god-killing army that started at the beginning, I am afraid that only a few people know, the reason is very simple, those who know have basically died in Zheng Sleeve's follow-up methods, and they have been brutally wiped out.
In the past, when the cultivation realm of Moshou City was still above Zheng Sleeve, he actually tried his best to prevent many such tragic events, and gave some compensation to some victims, secretly disobeying many orders of the other party;
But when Huang Zhenwei became a disciple of Moshou City, and Zheng Sleeve also reached the peak of the Seven Realms, he suddenly found that he had an extra weakness exposed in front of some people, and he could no longer act as freely as before.
Perhaps, like Xue Wangxu, or the Aries Cave Grandmaster who is suspected of deliberately showing his combat power and provoking the queen, he doesn't have to bear too much responsibility, which is exactly the life I yearn for?
Just as Xue Wangxu was constantly kneading his body that was hit by the pain in the mountains, and Zhao Qing, who was driven over, took him back to the Aries Cave, Mo Shoucheng sighed silently and thought of it in his heart.
