Chapter 17: The Manifestation of the Immortals

In the year 572 of the Rui calendar, 400,000 cavalry of the Long Kingdom invaded the boundary and knocked on the Juling Pass.

At that time, it was the Spring Festival in Ruiguo, and it was the occasion of family reunion, and the people of Longguo were also very face-saving, and they specially chose this time to pay New Year's greetings.

On the morning of the second day of the first lunar month, as soon as the sky was bright, the walls of the Juling Pass were full of Longguo soldiers who climbed the ladder.

The Ruiguo Northern Route Army threw stones and arrows on the city wall, and attacked the invading enemy head-on. The 100,000 iron cavalry of the Central Army of the Swiss Kingdom clashed under the city, engaging the enemy in close combat.

The two armies were strewn with corpses and rivers of blood. Both the attack and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.

Chen Ruoping, deputy commander of the Central Army of the Rui Kingdom, took the lead, a black dragon whip in his hand was whipped horizontally, the strong wind was whistling, and the four-meter-long whip body was fiercely whipped on the Xianbei cavalry who came to invade. Under his leadership, the iron cavalry of the Central Army constantly changed formations, besieging and killing the enemy's vanguard.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Murong Duo, the commander of the Long Kingdom, immediately asked the two Demon Sect masters under his command to come and attack Chen Ruoping. The Demon Sect is the cultivation sect of the Long Kingdom, it is equivalent to the Lingyun Mountain to the Rui Kingdom for the Long Kingdom, these two masters are the disciples of the head of the Demon Sect, the ancestor of Xue Lun, and they belong to the Venerable level within the Demon Sect, and the cultivation of the Demon Sect is unfathomable.

Unfathomable, at least for the average person.

The two masters slowly walked towards Chen Ruoping, but before the person arrived, an invisible fluctuation of qi was already coming. Chen Ruoping suddenly felt that his hands and limbs were entangled by something, and he felt uncomfortable.

The two masters got closer and closer, and the power of this invisible qi became greater and greater. Chen Ruoping swung his whip towards the other party, but was shocked to find that he couldn't even lift his hand, and the long whip he threw out couldn't match the usual strength. It's like being in a nightmare, trying to do your best when you're in danger, but you're powerless.

The surrounding comrades-in-arms gradually felt the restraint of this strange power, and they gathered around Chen Ruoping one after another, huddling together to compete with this strange power. The Xianbei cavalry saw that their masters showed their might, and immediately rushed over to take advantage of the momentum and slash.

Chen Ruoping and several comrades-in-arms struggled to resist, but every move they sent out was as light and powerless as slow motion, and with a few muffled sounds, Chen Ruoping's arms were stabbed and bleeding, and two or three comrades-in-arms died on the spot.

"Naru Na Dove, Hello Talk!"

A master suddenly muttered something, and the handprint suddenly turned outward, and he pressed it three times in the air.

Three golden handprints transformed from the state of nothingness and flew towards Chen Ruoping one after another.

Disheveled!

A strong surge came, and Chen Ruoping's body was forcefully repelled for several feet, and he snapped onto the cliff on the side of the city wall, and there was no way to retreat. His throat was sweet, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his internal organs were as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea.

The strong wind is blowing, and the second palm force has followed. At the same time, several Xianbei soldiers also approached and slashed down with their swords.

Chen Ruoping knew that the other party was an unprecedentedly master, but he still stubbornly stretched out his palm to resist it, and at the same time swung his long whip and struggled to resist the several steel knives that slashed in front of him.

At the critical juncture of life and death, the heaven and earth suddenly blew fiercely, flying sand and stones, only to hear the cang, gurgling, several steel knives fell to the ground at the same time, and the second palm power of the opponent's attack, together with the strange power that restrained the hands and feet, suddenly disappeared into invisibility.

Chen Ruoping felt light, and the long whip that he swung out suddenly regained its usual strength, and several Xianbei soldiers who were bullying were swept by the slender whip one by one, and suddenly their bones and tendons broke and fell to the ground, and a few of them even died on the spot.

The wind came and went, and everything returned to normal. Chen Ruoping escaped death and felt like a nightmare. He rubbed his eyes, but saw that the legs of the two masters were broken inch by inch, and their heads were crooked to the side, and they were all dead of anger.

"Lord Chen, how are you hurting?"

"The sky has eyes, and the gods have manifestations!"

Chen Ruoping's surviving comrades-in-arms ran over one after another, some checking his injuries, and some worshipping the sky.

At the same time, several Xianbei cavalry rushed up, but they did not come to attack Chen Ruoping and them, but to snatch the corpses of those two Demon Sect masters. There were only two dead corpses, and the soldiers of the Central Army didn't care about it, seeing that they came just to retrieve the corpses, they didn't desperately stop them.

Several Xianbei cavalrymen surrounded the two dead bodies and ran back to the Chinese army formation without stopping. It didn't take much effort, and the sound of Mingjin suddenly sounded on the side of the Xianbei camp.

Watching the enemy retreat like a tide, all the generals of the Central Army were confused. They led their subordinates to follow the enemy's ass for a period of mad pursuit, and won countless victories, until the Xianbei people suddenly turned around and put on an offensive posture, and then they retreated.

"The intelligence said that there were masters from the Demon Sect among the enemies this time, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Hey, I didn't expect to meet in a narrow way, only to know that they were so powerful, and they couldn't resist it at all. Chen Ruoping looked left and right as he spoke, and his heart palpitated, "If it weren't for the strange wind just now, I am afraid that several of us would have been murdered." ”

"Haha, I'll just say, not only does the enemy have the Demon Sect to protect the country, but we also have the gods on our side. Master Chen, you usually blame me for talking nonsense, is this credible?" said a scar-faced officer with a smile.

"Well, it was a bit weird just now. Unfortunately, it happened suddenly, and I didn't see anything. Chen Ruoping nodded seriously.

"Immortals, if you can see us, then you won't be called immortals. The Scarface officer laughed.

"That's right, hehe. Chen Ruoping also smiled.

He turned over and dismounted, bowed to the sky, and said respectfully: "Regardless of whether it is a fairy manifestation just now, Chen Ruoping is very grateful!"

After speaking, he bowed three more times to the cliff.

"My lord, the sergeants have already returned to the city. Your wounds are so bad, you must go back and treat them as soon as possible, or the enemy will be too late to attack again. Another officer advised.

"Well, the enemy is only temporarily retreating, and a second offensive may be launched at any time. Chen Ruoping nodded, "He Ming, let the soldiers hurry up and have breakfast, and be ready to fight back at any time." ”

"Yes, sir!" replied the officer named He Ming.

Chen Ruoping looked up at the slippery cliffs.

The cliffs rise majestically into the sky.

"How high is this mountain, and are there really gods on it?" he thought silently, leading his horse slowly into the city.

Behind him, the gates slammed shut.

On the side of the Long Kingdom, the corpses of the two Demon Sect masters were quickly sent back to the Demon Sect Castle, and when the ancestor of Sharon saw the corpses, his face was like ashes.

"Look at it like this, it's that old guy from Lingyun Mountain again. He said with a deep face, facing south.

"Master, isn't that old fellow not on the mountain?" asked a disciple next to him.

"Hey, who knows if you're here or not?" Sharon Ancestor sighed, "It's been three hundred years, and that old guy has been so scheming. You think he's there and don't dare to go over, but he isn't there at all. You think he's not there, and you can send someone over boldly, but he will jump out to show his existence. Hey, such an opponent... I can't beat it and I can't get around, it's too difficult. ”

"Master, something so big has happened in Ruiguo, I'm afraid that old guy is not on the mountain now, right?" the disciple asked.

"Well, he may be in the capital of Ruiguo at this time, but when our people set off from here to rush to the Giant Spirit Pass, it will be difficult to say. Sharon Ancestor said.

The disciple was silent, he originally wanted to suggest that he take advantage of this time to send a few more people over to kill the carbine, but seeing that Shizun was so jealous of that old guy, he couldn't say anything more.
