Chapter 61: The Dark Tide (I)
As the participating teams of the two empires gradually approached the venue of the finals of the Continent-wide Soul Master Advanced Competition, the dark mockery also surged.
Qian Lingxue slowly raised her head and whispered to the black shadow in front of her, "She didn't let me do it, but arranged it herself?" ”
The dark shadow lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Your Highness...... If the elders of the temple do not come forward, we cannot reverse His Majesty's decision. ”
Qian Ling Xue sneered, "Is that woman crazy, let's say, how many people are you going to send, the Heaven Dou Empire is not easy to deal with this time, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, Dragon Gong Snake Woman, and ...... The Raaste that lurked in Lu Yuan's body. ”
"With the amplification of the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda with Ning Fengzhi, how could they break through the protection of Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo and assassinate Lu Yuan, not to mention that the mysterious powerhouse named Layast in Lu Yuan's body is not easy to mess with, Tang Hao was killed by him alone."
The real cause of Tang Hao's death was only known to Qian Lingxue, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo and others, and in the eyes of outsiders, Tang Hao's cause of death came from two aspects, the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect and the isolation.
With the two Title Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect and Ning Fengzhi, the continent's first auxiliary soul master, it was enough to kill Tang Hao.
After all, no matter how powerful Tang Hao is, he has only been promoted to Title Douluo for more than ten years, and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are not ordinary Title Douluo who almost stay at level ninety-one soul power and level ninety-two soul power like Poison Douluo.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo are the peak Douluo of the ninety-fifth level of soul power, and even if the name of Haotian Douluo is resounding with this, it is not the capital that can resist the joint attack of the two peak Douluo.
In addition, in this era, the news is closed, and it is difficult for outsiders to know the situation of the day.
So in this case, others would only think that it was Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo who sneaked out of Heaven Dou City anonymously, and then teamed up to design a trap to besiege Tang Hao.
And this has led to the fact that the existence of Raaste is also unknown.
But the others don't know, but it doesn't mean that Qian Lingxue doesn't know, after all, Ghost Leopard Douluo was present and saw the existence of Layast. (Don't ask how you know the name, when Layast beat Tang Hao, he shouted his name and the thief rang!) )
"Not to mention that Lu Yuan himself is not simple." As soon as Qian Lingxue thought of Lu Yuan, her eyes were blazing.
This boy she watched grow up with since she was a child gave her too many surprises, and even sometimes she was looking forward to what surprises Lu Yuan could bring her.
"Yes, it is precisely because His Highness's intelligence mentions these strong people other than Layast, so His Majesty's next action is not to kill the kid named Lu Yuan, but to seriously injure him as much as possible." The black shadow suddenly said in a deep voice.
"And the palace has also gathered a large number of strong men and men."
"Oh? Who did she summon? Qianyue asked.
"The ones who are responsible for leading the team are Golden Eagle Lol Diarra and Lingfeng Meng Kite, and those above the title Douluo are the three elders who mobilize Ju Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Demon Bear Douluo......" The black shadow suddenly said truthfully, "There are also two thousand deacons of the Martial Spirit Palace, and they are all at least the level of purple clothes or above......"
The most basic members of the Wuhun Hall are the deacons, and their status and rank are also the same as the bishops of the Wuhun Palace, divided into white, yellow, purple and black.
A great soul master like Pixel Yuntao is at most a yellow-clothed deacon, and a deacon of the Martial Soul Hall above the soul venerable is purple-clothed.
Qian Lingxue narrowed her eyes, "It's really a lot of effort, but ...... Is it worth it to pay such a big price just to seriously injure Lu Yuan? ”
"Your Majesty said that this is for the honor of the Martial Spirit Hall in the competition." The dark shadow said with his head bowed.
"I guess it's for her precious apprentice......" As soon as she said this, Qian Lingxue couldn't help but laugh at herself, "It's really enviable, let them absorb the soul bones, and also sent more than two thousand purple-clothed deacons to seriously injure their opponents in advance......
But what she didn't know was that Bibi Dong's move was not entirely for Hu Liena and the others to defeat Lu Yuan.
Bibi Dong's move also means to avenge Yu Xiaogang, and it is with this hatred that she is willing to put in so much effort.
"My place in her heart...... Not as good as her students? Qian Lingxue couldn't help but hoarse at this time and said.
She seemed to be talking to herself, and it was like she was questioning Bibi Dong's biological mother.
The black shadow was silent for a moment, and between Qianrenxue and Bibi Dong, it was a huge problem that no one else could insert.
He was a pawn and couldn't speak at all.
Qian Ling Xue took a deep breath, and then said, "Then I'll watch the show quietly, and let our majesty suffer for a while...... It's good... That's good! ”
Her last voice felt like it was squeezing out of her teeth.
……
Lu Yuan looked at the majestic border pass that was gradually moving away behind him, Zhennan Pass, which was the last fortress in the ruling area of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Martial Spirit Palace, located outside the Heaven Dou Empire, and was guarded by the Duchy of Hull, which was subject to the Heaven Dou Empire.
As for Jialing Pass?
It wasn't until Lu Yuan came to this world and learned some geographical knowledge about the Heaven Dou Empire that he knew that Jialing Pass, which was very important in the original text and was an important battlefield in the Battle of the Two Gods, was not the border pass between the Heaven Dou Empire and Wuhun City.
The reason why Jialing Pass will eventually become the place where the final battle between the Wuhun Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire will be.
It was because the Wuhun Hall had rebelled against all the kingdoms and principalities of the border generation of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire at that time, and such an important border pass as Zhennan Pass directly fell into the hands of the Wuhun Empire, which led to such a situation.
Jialing Pass was the last fortress in the Heaven Dou Empire, and after breaking through that fortress, it was followed by the Zhili District of Heaven Dou City.
"Out of the border pass, it's not far from Wuhun City." Ning Rongrong suddenly appeared, and then said.
"But when you get out of the border pass, you have come to the territory of the Wuhun Palace." Lu Yuan shook his head.
"Xiao Yuan, do you think that after we go out to the border pass, the Martial Spirit Hall will do something?" Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "It's unlikely, although there is a contradiction between the Martial Spirit Hall and the Empire, the Martial Spirit Hall is not the Star Luo Empire after all." ”
The reason why the Wuhun Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire are at odds is nothing more than because the Wuhun Palace, as a soul master organization independent of the two empires, is not loyal to the empire, but has been competing with the empire for soul master resources over the years.
In this world where force is supreme, that empire is willing to have such a force to wander outside the empire, and at the same time, it is constantly robbing its own soul master resources.
That is to say, the Wuhun Hall is still big now, and the two empires dare not speak out, if the strength of the Wuhun Hall is not so strong, Xue Ye will definitely want to send troops to encircle and suppress the Wuhun Palace.
It is almost equivalent to the White Lotus Sect in a certain dynasty in the previous life, directly calling it a cult, and then exterminating it with heavy troops.
Not to mention the snowy night, even Lu Yuan will think so when he ascends to that position in the future, but he will not kill them all, he will only make them change their minds, be loyal to themselves, and use them for him.
The Wuhun Hall is a soul master force, not an empire, so the Heaven Dou Empire has always only focused the war mobilization on the Star Luo Empire, a behemoth that is also an imperial power.
No one would have thought that the Wuhun Palace, which had always been on the continent and only served as a religion and balanced forces, would have the idea of becoming an empire and unifying the continent in the future.
"The Star Luo Empire is not a strong enemy, the Martial Spirit Hall is, and no one could have imagined that their ambitions would be so big." Lu Yuan chuckled and said.
"Xiao Yuan, you said the ambition of the Martial Spirit Palace? What is that? Ning Rongrong suddenly continued to ask curiously.
"Dominate the mainland, unify and gather all forces on the mainland." Lu Yuan said softly.
"But in fact, for the entire continent, the unification of the Martial Spirit Hall is not a bad thing, provided that it ......" the corners of his mouth outlined a trace of arc, "That woman is not really crazy, she wants to destroy everything." ”
The unification of the continent by the Wuhun Hall is indeed not a bad thing, at least the Wuhun Hall does not want all the sects and academies to be wiped out, and the four sects such as the Holy Dragon Sect and the Elephant Armor Sect are loyal to the Wuhun Palace, nor are they miserable.
If the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect is willing to declare allegiance to the Martial Soul Palace, presumably the Martial Soul Hall will definitely not forcibly dissolve the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect.
But for Ning Fengzhi, it may be a little uncomfortable......
Similarly, for Lu Yuan, he didn't want to be subservient, although a certain stepfather killer in his previous life was not of good character, he was quite right.
"The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under the people for a long time."
Lu Yuan didn't want to cross this trip by himself, he just wanted to become someone else's courtier.
"Which woman?" Ning Rongrong continued to ask.
Lu Yuan immediately rubbed his eyebrows, "It's hard to say, you will know when the time comes, although it is a poor person......"
Ning Rongrong blinked, "Oh, can't you make it clear?" ”
"Haha, do you want to ...... compared to this" Lu Yuan paused, his eyes blazing, "Meet my second martial spirit?" ”
"The second martial spirit?!" Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that Xiao Yuan, you are ......?"
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "Actually, I didn't intend to hide it from you...... And this continent-wide soul master advanced competition is just to show everyone...... My potential! ”
"I've already decided, when it comes to the finals, I will only use my second martial soul who hasn't had a soul ring yet!" Then he whispered......
"All blades are subservient to Chaos!"
The blazing wind and chaotic fire were forged into a peerless blade, which was displayed in front of Ning Rongrong.
……
The journey was peaceful, and the ten days passed quickly.
After leaving Zhennan Pass, more than half of the journey to Wuhun City had passed.
The five hundred Royal Knights were as good as the royal family, and everywhere they went, they were received in the best form by any city, and they did not encounter any trouble on the way.
Today is the eleventh day of the rush.
However, there were still many people in the fifteen teams who were working hard to cultivate, and probably only Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong were idle, because they didn't have that much pressure.
While Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong were laughing and talking, Layast's deep voice sounded in his head, "Boy, you're in big trouble again!" ”
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, stopped talking to Ning Rongrong with a solemn face, frowned and asked in his heart, "Layast, what's the trouble?" ”
Ning Rongrong saw Lu Yuan's face change, and immediately asked curiously, "Xiao Yuan, what happened?" ”
"There are several very powerful auras, coming towards you, and there are thousands of soldiers-level units surrounding you!" Raast said.
"Wuhun Palace?" Lu Yuan muttered softly.
Then he solemnly pulled Ning Rongrong back into the carriage and woke up the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team who were immersed in cultivation in the carriage.
"Wake up, everyone, stop cultivating!"
"There is an enemy attack, prepare for battle." He said in a deep voice.
Suddenly, Dugu Yan, Yan Zhuyin and the others were awakened, and when they heard Lu Yuan's words, they were stunned for a moment.
"What? No, Lu Yuan, this place is almost to Wuhun City, who will attack us? Dugu Yan suddenly frowned and said.
Graphite Stone Mill was also a little incredulous, "Yes, boss...... And how do you know that someone is coming to attack......"
"Anyway, we're about to provoke an attack, so get ready." Lu Yuan said in a deep voice. "And maybe the people who attacked them were the ones you all thought were no."
He didn't think it was child's play, in a large battlefield, Sword Douluo and Poison Douluo might not be able to completely protect them.
Lu Yuan was confident that he would protect himself and protect Ning Rongrong, while he didn't dare to guarantee that the others would be able to save it.
"Rayast! How many powerhouses above the title Douluo are there in total! As he got out of the carriage, he asked Layast in his heart.
Suddenly, before Raaste could answer, a cold aura came from not far away.
Most of their team walked official roads, and only took some remote paths where they could get close.
And at this time, it is time to cut corners.
It is located between two small hills, and it is said that it can save dozens of miles by crossing from here.
Moreover, although the mountain is narrower, it is also flat, and there is no problem for the carriage to walk through.
The gloomy and cold aura came from the mountains on both sides of the hill, and this aura was now very obvious, reaching the level of unscrupulousness!
Naturally, Lu Yuan was not alone.
The captain of the team led by the Royal Knights shouted, "Everyone be on alert! There is a case! ”
The members of the Royal Knights who were guarding the Soul Master immediately raised the knight's spear in their hands, and they immediately did their job with strict military discipline, their muscles quickly tightened, and their bodies exuded a fierce murderous aura.
However, the members of the Soul Master Academy were relaxed, they were all stunned, and they didn't know the cruelty of the battlefield at all.
They would only feel that with so many genius soul masters here, what did they need to worry about?
Although in terms of numbers, these cadets are much smaller than the Royal Order.
But if you really want to fight, the strength is not proportional at all. What's more, there are many strong teachers in the various academies, and there are at least a dozen soul masters at the sixties and seventies.
Such a team is enough to face a large army of more than 10,000 people.
It's just that the slightest negligence on the battlefield can lead to extremely regrettable consequences, and sometimes these consequences come at the cost of lives!
Lu Yuan and the members of the Heaven Dou team left the carriage directly at this time, and quickly made a fighting posture on the spot.
"Nine treasures turn out to have glass!" Ning Rongrong was behind Lu Yuan and directly summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda full of treasures.
"Under the flaming bow! The piece of armor does not exist! ”
"Emerald Snake Martial Spirit Possession!"
"Xuanwu Zhenshi!"
"Flowing Water Whip Blade! Appear! ”
Everyone directly summoned their martial spirits, and Lu Yuan was no exception.
"God's will! Supreme Authority! Lu Yuan roared sharply.
Then the huge blue, purple, and gold scythe appeared in his hand, and the voice of Layast came to his head at this time.
"I won't talk about the miscellaneous soldiers, there are three powerhouses above the title Douluo opposite, and they stopped at the end, and they don't seem to have the intention of making a move immediately!"
"And at the head are twenty Soul Saints and two Contras! They're coming around you! ”
At this moment, countless falling rocks rolled down from the hills on both sides like raindrops, and these falling rocks not only appeared very abruptly, but also very neatly, and came down quickly.
In an instant, a group of careless other Soul Master Academy students panicked!
"First Soul Skill! Death Star Shattering Slash! Lu Yuan's voice suddenly sounded, drawing everyone's gaze over.
"Nine treasures are famous! One said: Force! Ning Rongrong's movements were not bad at all, the first soul ring lit up, and the fifty percent increase in strength was directly added to Lu Yuan's body.
Then the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a purple energy light slash about ten meters wide, and the light slash slashed directly into the air!
Lu Yuan hadn't used this initial soul skill for a long time, but at this time, the power of this soul skill was much greater than in the past, I don't know how many times!
Coupled with the increase in Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda......
In an instant, the sound of explosion sounded in the sky, and the falling rocks instantly turned into powder in the air!
When it falls again, it is like a huge dust that has been raised and scattered on everyone.
Then, everyone saw Lu Yuan's terrifying soul ring matching, after the two yellow soul rings......
It's all black 10,000-year-old soul rings????
There are four 10,000-year soul rings?
This was the first time that most of the contestants on the scene saw Lu Yuan's soul ring matching, and they were all stunned in place.
But at this moment, Lu Yuan turned around and roared angrily, "Why are you still stunned?!" Enemy attack! If you don't want to die here, just move me! ”
At this time, these outstanding students who were still in the ivory tower woke up like a dream, and they summoned martial spirits one after another to prepare for the battle.
But at this moment, falling rocks followed!
The terrain in front of them was very unfavorable for the whole team, and the captain of the Royal Knights hurriedly gave the order to speed up.
"The rockfall here is handed over to our Royal Knights." He shouted.
Lu Yuan nodded.
Immediately, the falling stones were handed over to the five hundred members of the Royal Knights.
At this time, the overall quality of the Royal Knights was revealed.
Although they are not all soul masters, their overall strength is very strong.
"Others! Get ready to break out! Lu Yuan also shouted directly at this time.
As soul masters, they have to face not these falling rocks, but those opponents who are also soul masters!
