Chapter 267: The Past Was Before, The Present Is Now
The border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Western Frontier, which had once fallen into an eerie calm for a long time, once again fell into a battle of arms and arms as the Shrek Special Monitoring Group arrived in Heaven Dou City to meet the Heavenly Soul Emperor.
The reason why the Heavenly Soul Empire did not launch a second campaign after the first large-scale attack was frustrated was not because it was unable to support the war, but because it knew that it did not make much sense, and there were more urgent needs to be invested in precious treasures.
Knowing that the other party has a number of Title Douluo in charge, it no longer makes much sense to rely on the regular army to accumulate the number. The life form of Title Douluo has undergone a qualitative change, and in this era when air defense means can basically only be launched by soul masters, even if quantity fights quality, at least it is necessary to form a soul master group or mobilize a large number of soul saints and soul douluo to effectively fight.
In other words, before one of the Titled Douluo-level combat forces of one of the two sides completely lost its combat effectiveness, the result of the battle between the conventional armies was of little significance, and Titled Douluo had the ability to change the situation of the war at any time.
The reason why the Heavenly Soul Empire did such a thankless thing again was purely to attract firepower to the Shrek Special Inspection Group, so that they could successfully infiltrate the depths of the Western Frontier Kingdom.
Under the canopy of a large locust tree that shaded a large area of sunlight, several young men and women dressed as civilians stood in different directions, cautiously watching for any slight movement in their line of sight.
Their own posture and spirit are very different from the civilian appearance on their bodies, as if they can no longer be found when they enter the crowd, this group of inner court disciples who are either noble-born or about to be born in an extraordinary future Although they are already trying to play the role of ordinary people, they unconsciously reveal the temperament they have cultivated for many years.
"Elder Xuan, let's go another seven hundred miles north to Xining City, but...... Now it's actually closer to the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire. ”
Under the shade of a tree, Wu Ming spread out a map and explained to Xuanzi, who was eating chicken legs, pointing out the current location of the special inspection team.
In view of the extreme danger of this special monitoring mission, the special monitoring mission did not divide its forces after entering the territory of western Xinjiang, and has always maintained a loose formation on the outside and a tight formation on the inside.
At the beginning, Zhang Lexuan and his party of more than a dozen people killed a 100,000-year-old soul beast, rounding it up, even if you don't count Xuan Lao's combat power, according to the Shrek Inner Court student algorithm, this special monitoring group can at least be worth at least two or three Titled Douluo of about level ninety-four.
"Hmm...... Very good, the attention and manpower of the evil soul masters have been attracted to the east by the Heavenly Soul Empire, and now the emptiness inside has created an opportunity for us. ”
Xuanzi glanced at the map, picked up the wine jug in his hand, took a sip of the low-degree rice wine he specially carried this time, and wiped his mouth.
Wu Ming looked a little absent-minded and nodded silently.
Since the Heavenly Soul Empire once again sent troops to contain the enemy's strength and attention on the border, the Shrek Special Monitoring Group has been low-key and sneaky all the way here, and has not made any moves on the way except for killing a few unavoidable patrol evil soul masters, this abnormal style makes Wu Ming even wonder if Xuan Lao has really changed his sex after learning a lesson.
His eyes swept over the faces of the disciples with different expressions, and Xuanzi suddenly smiled.
"Children, are any of you wondering why we, as a special monitoring group, didn't pounce on the enemy to clear out the evil soul master after entering enemy territory?"
Some people nodded silently, some people revealed their thoughts with their eyes, and some people just habitually cast admiring glances at the Seagod Pavilion Master.
"This time and that time!" Xuanzi laughed and rubbed his clothes with his palm.
"What was it like when you were a member of the Mission? The local officials support us, there is an army ready to support us at any time, and there may be a passing soul master who draws his sword to help at any time, and now? We're probably in a worse situation than the Evil Soul Master we've been hunted down by us. ”
This is true, and the disciples of the inner court who are willing to sign up for the special inspection team have long known about it.
"Children, let me ask you, do you really think that if we kill a few evil soul masters who are no more than Soul Saints, how much can we do to the current situation on the mainland?"
The disciples of the inner court silently did not answer, and each had their own thoughts in their hearts.
With their current staffing and the habits they had retained when they participated in the monitoring mission before, what else could they do if they didn't stare at those soul masters who were no more than soul saints?
Those Contra Douluo and Title Douluo, how could they easily appear in the wild? With Xuan Lao leading the team, even if the city is stormed, it is nothing, but once the action does not go well and is dragged down, the consequences are really unpredictable.
"Kids, I'll tell you again, times have changed!" Xuanzi was serious, his face was serious and serious, even heavy, he didn't look like he was usually a drunkard.
"The Evil Soul Master is no longer scattered everywhere as before, but already has its own organization and backbone. Before their Title Douluo was all killed and the organization fell apart, no matter how many lackeys and pawns they killed, they couldn't fundamentally change the situation, and these consumables were very easy to cultivate. ”
"So...... The academy sent troops as a last resort, and we are here to boost the morale of the people of the Three Kingdoms, and it is just a matter of killing the evil soul master. It is our mission to defeat the top combat power of the Evil Soul Master; Children, what you have to do is to learn from experience, hone your mentality, and wait until you have achieved success in your studies and are promoted to the title, and then you will bury these bastards! ”
"Maybe there is a little guy who thinks that we have not killed a lot of evil soul masters along the way...... You remember! In the end, the monitoring team wants to protect the interests of Shrek, and you are the most valuable asset of the academy. I hope that you will remember this journey as a rare experience in your life, and continue to spur yourself to improve in the future. ”
Seeing that Xuan Lao seemed to have really made great progress, and knowing that these inner court disciples were just trying to have fun facing the organized evil soul masters, the internal atmosphere of the special supervision group couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.
As long as Elder Xuan really has a brain, then his cultivation that no one among the human race can control is the most reliable reliance on everyone.
Xuan Lao also put away the wine jug, and the expression on his face was relaxed and happy.
Shaozhe is still too tender, how could I not think of anything he can think of?
But what he didn't expect, I thought of! As long as Shrek's monitoring team shows everyone the substantial efforts, it can greatly boost the hearts of the Heavenly Soul Empire who are already a little tired.
Wu Ming, who is usually arrogant and hot-tempered, is as famous as Ma Xiaotao, and cooperatingly praised: "Elder Xuan, then what should we do next?" ”
"The next step is our last step."
Xuanzi stretched out his hand and pointed to a place marked with a conspicuous sign on the map: "The old man will take you to Maple Leaf City to find the evil soul master to spread the wild!" ”
"Further west of here is the Sun and Moon Empire, and two steps to the south is the Star Luo Empire. The old man will take you to break this city, and it will definitely shake the whole territory of Western Xinjiang! ”
"The special monitoring team has gone so far that it can not only stop all parties from talking about it, but also give an account to people with lofty ideals throughout the continent. The old man will take you to slaughter the evil soul master in the city and fly at full speed, and you can enter the Star Luo Empire in a quarter of an hour, you are not only heroes who have returned victorious, but you will also get the incomparable courtesy of the Heavenly Soul Empire. ”
Maple Leaf City is located in the southwest border of Western Xinjiang, bordering the Sun and Moon Empire, and is the most important supply city for the Western Frontier army of the original Heavenly Soul Empire, and it is also the meeting place for exchange students at the beginning.
"Xuan Lao Gaojian!" Seeing Xuan Lao's progress, Wu Ming applauded in admiration.
"Xuan Lao Gaojian!" The Special Monitoring Group applauded.
It turns out that there is no need to fight with the evil soul master all the way, and Xuan Lao has already made a plan to completely withdraw after one shot, so let's say it earlier, Bai has worried everyone for so long.
"Haha, let's go, the old man will take you to see Maple Leaf City! Three years ago, Shaozhe led a team there to meet Jing Hongchen, how could he miss the old man to visit in person? ”
Shrek and the others packed up, maintained the appearance of ordinary people, and walked in the direction of Maple Leaf City - the goal of the soul master flying at high speed in the sky was too obvious, and the flying soul guide should be saved for evacuation.
In Maple Leaf City, the city lord appointed by the Holy Spirit Sect was playing with the jade in his hand, and his chubby fingers were wearing colorful rings.
Although due to the strict measures of the Western Frontier Kingdom to restrict the movement of people and the current attitude of the merchants of the Sun and Moon Empire towards the Western Frontier, the streets of Maple Leaf City, which was originally prosperous in commerce and trade, have been deserted a lot, but no matter how you say it, a lot of oil and water can be fished out.
The pillar industry here has turned from bright to dark, and the high profits of smuggling have attracted many people to change careers to make a living, and the city lord's mansion has done its best to fish for sustainable purposes, regularly arresting people and extorting fines, but it is also very disciplined and never kills people and cracks down on smuggling industries, which is not like the absurdity of a city ruled by an evil soul master.
In addition to smuggling, another major emerging industry in Maple Leaf City is smuggling - smuggling from the Western Frontier Kingdom to the Sun and Moon Empire, but after these people are caught, most of them are sold into slavery, and the city lord and the local garrison soul master will give priority to choosing what they like.
He was calculating how much bribe he would give to the Titled Douluo Lord who had just come to inspect two days ago, but the city lord suddenly felt that the entire city lord's mansion seemed to be slightly shocked, and the fat on his stomach suddenly trembled twice, proving that this was definitely not an illusion.
The next moment, the voice of the majestic old man that resounded throughout the city poured into his eardrums, making the city lord's heart cold.
"I am the master of the Seagod Pavilion, Xuanzi, and today I am leading the Shrek Special Monitoring Group to sweep away the evil soul master of Maple Leaf City. The common people closed their doors and watched how the supper generation suffered the curse of heaven today! ”
The panicked city lord was about to rush to the tunnel to hide and escape, but a loud thunderous bang exploded in the air.
The three-story City Lord's Mansion, which looks magnificent, as the most conspicuous building in the city, turned into powder under the blow of Xuanzi, who suddenly appeared in the air, and the terrifying coercion of the ninety-eighth level spread throughout the city, and the fat in the main body of the city splashed everywhere At the same time, the civilians who were originally doing their own thing on the Maple Leaf Square screamed and fled for their lives.
As a resident of the town, there are probably very few people who don't know the prestige of the Lord of the Seagod Pavilion. Such a strong man is by no means something they should stay on the side to watch the battle and watch its might, and the aftermath of a casual blow may turn the fragile body of ordinary people into a mess of meat.
Maple Leaf City suddenly became a bell, and the emergency mechanism that originally took the possible face-turning raid of the Sun and Moon Empire as the main target of the response began to stumble into operation.
But when they learned that the person who came was actually the Lord of the Seagod Pavilion, the evil soul masters stationed here were cold in their hearts - they were also the soul guards who had gathered superior forces to defeat the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the situation they faced today seemed to be even more terrifying than that of the unlucky people who went to hell first.
A series of figures with extraordinary temperament appeared behind Xuan Lao, and with Xuan Lao personally taking action, these inner courtyard disciples only needed to suppress the formation and encourage the momentum.
There are even disciples in the inner courtyard who took out the photographic soul guide they carried with them, ready to record the heroic posture of Boss Xuan, and send it to the Three Kingdoms to boost morale after he returns.
Even though they knew that they were not the same enemy in the face of the Seagod Pavilion Lord, the Evil Soul Masters still mustered up the courage to rush to their respective garrison posts - if they were afraid of the enemy, the Holy Church would let them know that there were many more terrible things than death.
One after another soul guide rays shot towards Xuanzi's figure in the sky, but it was obvious that they all dissipated invisibly away from Xuanzi.
"Alas...... How did this unfortunate errand end up on me? ”
Next to the city lord's mansion, which had been reduced to ruins, an old man with dark skin, two eyebrows, one high and one low, and the word "king" on his forehead walked forward slowly, shaking his head helplessly and sighing, while crushing the rod-shaped soul guide in his hand.
"Xuanzi, Lao Tzu will meet you!" At the same time as Xuanzi was slapping his palm at the barracks, a deep voice sounded in the city.
After the Shrek disciples heard this voice, their originally relaxed faces became slightly more solemn.
Knowing that the Lord of the Seagod Pavilion dared to face Xuan Lao, the other party should at least be a Super Douluo.
I didn't expect the idea of this trip to be so handy, although the Heavenly Soul Empire had already confirmed that the Western Frontier Kingdom had the support of multiple Titled Douluo, but as soon as Xuan Lao made a move, he happened to encounter the Super Douluo Evil Soul Master who happened to be stationed here, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.
It was a fluke that the Evil Soul Master was able to cultivate to the Title Douluo, but as a result, a Super Douluo was bumped into by them, and Xuan Lao's luck was really ......
"Zhang Peng!" Seeing the opponent who rose into the air to face the battle, Xuanzi immediately reprimanded angrily.
"You dare to appear in the world. Have you forgotten how Mu Lao let you go in the first place! ”
As soon as the black-clothed old man closed his hands in front of his chest, a black ball of light immediately appeared in the palms of his palms, two yellow, two purple, and five black, and nine soul rings quickly rose from under his feet, and a loud cry came out of his mouth.
"Back then, thanks to Mu Lao for letting me go, this kindness, the old man always remembers. In Mu Lao's lifetime, I was never born. Now that Mu Lao is gone, the lights are extinguished when the natural person is dead, let alone Xuanzi, you took the initiative to bully the door, do you want me to be killed! ”
Wu Ming, the oldest in the inner courtyard, savored it for two seconds after hearing this name, and then his face changed slightly, "Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng??" ”
Many disciples were still confused, and Wu Ming explained in a deep voice:
"This person is called the Scorpion Tiger, and his martial soul needs to constantly devour animal blood in order to evolve. Relatively speaking, the evil is not too much. Mu Lao once caught him, because the evil aura of his martial soul was not strong, and he had never harmed anyone, so he finally decided to let him go. I haven't seen him for so many years, and his cultivation seems to have entered the ranks of Super Douluo. ”
"However, it is precisely because the evil attribute in his martial soul is not too strong that he can cultivate to the realm of Super Douluo, and pure Super Douluo evil soul masters are extremely rare."
The dark clouds brought by Super Douluo quickly dissipated in the hearts of the disciples in the inner courtyard, since the other party's ability itself was not too strong, and it was suppressed by the Xuan Elder level, there was nothing to worry about.
The battle between Xuan Lao and Zhang Peng also confirmed Wu Ming's statement, Zhang Peng was forced out of the martial soul by Xuan Lao almost as soon as he entered the battle, and his body suddenly skyrocketed, turning into a black giant tiger in an instant.
Dark clouds gathered in the air, and with Zhang Peng's roar, he only heard countless roars in mid-air. Clusters of black shadows continued to release from the dark clouds below him, turning into different forms of soul beasts, and pounced on Xuan Lao with a terrible chirp.
Xuanzi's laughter echoed in the sky above Maple Leaf City: "Haha, this is interesting. Zhang Peng, use your head to sacrifice the flag for my Shrek, I think there is anyone else in the world who dares to slander my Shrek? ”
With a wave of Xuanzi's big hand, Zhang Peng attacked with all his strength as soon as the battle began, and he didn't even force out Xuan Lao's martial soul true body, and he was resisted one by one. At the level of Super Douluo, regardless of the existence of Extreme Douluo, the general level gap will be crushed without the power to fight back when it reaches two levels, and it may be easily killed when it reaches three levels.
Zhang Peng, who knew that there was no way to retreat, frantically leaned towards Xuanzi what he had learned all his life, but he was always easily resisted by Xuanzi's mockery.
"Zhang Peng, Mu Lao let you go in order to make you change your mind and change your life, but I don't want you to make mistakes again and again!"
"Today, I will make up for the mistake of Mu Lao's soft-heartedness back then!"
Xuanzi sneered, let out a long whistle, and his figure rose to the sky again, looking at Zhang Peng condescendingly. A strong yellow-brown light bloomed from him, and a strong aura suddenly erupted, and the entire sky of Maple Leaf City was covered with a yellow-brown curtain that seemed to be descending from a sandstorm.
The dark clouds around Zhang Peng's body were compressed to an extremely pitiful point, and the yellow-brown light in the face of Xuanzi could only be extremely weak and gathered together.
Zhang Peng's face was extremely gloomy, and in the face of the strong coercion of level ninety-eight, the fear in his heart was almost uncontrollable, but even if he was faced with the desperate situation that he might be killed in a few rounds, he knew that he must not run, otherwise it would be the destruction of Maple Leaf City and the drifting departure of Shrek.
"Xuan Lao Animal, I heard that you took a team of inner courtyard disciples into the Star Dou Great Forest back then, and in the end, you actually drank and made a mistake, so that more than ten students who were almost destined to become titles were torn into rags by 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and in the end, only three or two kittens remained, and I never had the opportunity to verify it before, so I will ask you in person today, but is there such a thing? Hahahaha! ”
Zhang Peng's voice resounded throughout the city, and he knew that he was invincible, and he laughed wildly to stimulate Xuanzi's state of mind.
The civilians and soul masters hiding in various buildings looked at each other, and then their faces were different, which was extremely exciting, because the Seagod Pavilion Lord actually confirmed this statement himself.
"Zhang Peng, you evil beast! As disciples of Shrek's inner courtyard, even if they die in battle, the children are extremely glorious, and what are you! I will kill you here today, you evil soul master is destined to be spurned by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of generations! ”
Xuanzi roared angrily, and the terrifying pressure swept towards Zhang Peng.
"Ahaha! Even if I, Zhang Peng, die thousands of times, I can't change the fact that you, an old brute, have killed at least ten future titles before, and today I will kill dozens more geniuses! You just wait to become a laughing stock with my infamy and pass it on from generation to generation! ”
Zhang Peng's figure swelled again, desperately meeting Xuan Lao's attack.
The dark clouds around Zhang Peng suddenly expanded tenfold, protecting him. But Zhang Peng and Xuan Lao's faces changed at the same time.
A man in black who was covered in a cloak and couldn't see his face clearly rushed towards Zhang Peng, and the dark clouds nearby expanded a few times again.
After a while, Xuanzi couldn't help but laugh angrily:
"A thing that isn't even a Super Douluo, and he dares to use his mantis arm as a car?!"
Zhang Peng frowned: "Dark clouds, you ...... It's hard for us to beat him together. ”
The Heipeng man, known as the dark cloud, snorted, and coughed up blood while resisting Xuan Lao's attack with Zhang Peng.
"It's okay...... It's enough to help you block this, hehe......"
The face that was indistinct suddenly cracked in an exaggerated arc, and the dark clouds smiled, looking at the aura around him, as if he was the master of this heaven and earth. After a few breaths, a burst of laughter interjected.
"The two of you are hard to worship, just leave it to me as the master of the Seagod Pavilion. As for the rest...... Hmph, I have to work hard for the two of you. ”
"Seagod Pavilion Master, don't talk so much about killing people and setting fire to other people's houses, it seems that Shrek has indeed never done anything to hide, and he doesn't even know such common sense."
A purple-eyed man with short fine silver hair stepped in mid-air with his hands behind his back, forcing back the yellow-brown curtain that had originally enveloped the entire sky.
Reaching out and taking off the black mask on his face, he revealed a face that could be called handsome, and an indescribably deep aura emanated from him.
was hit by the other party's performance in the battle of breath, Xuanzi's complexion changed greatly, and he couldn't even take care of Zhang Peng and Wuyun, and his eyes were fixed on the man opposite.
The other party looks very young, but Xuanzi has a faint intuition that his rank is probably not much different from his own.
"Evil Soul Master...... How is it possible to have a character like you?! ”
"Shrek has been fighting against the Evil Soul Master for 10,000 years, and he has never been able to resist the existence of this pavilion master before......"
Although Xuanzi suppressed his voice, anyone could hear the horror in his voice.
"How is that possible? How could it be! Thank you Shrek for raising me, how can I have my wife without Shrek? ”
The silver-haired man took a relaxed and immediate posture, and slowly took out a national teacher's scepter in his hand.
"The past is the past, the present is the present, if you have to compare the past with the present, why don't you compare it with the time when the Killing Capital has not disappeared?"
"Hahaha!"
"I have seen the Lord of the Seagod Pavilion, I am Zhong Liwu, the national teacher of the Western Frontier Kingdom, the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, and the husband of the deceased Feng Ling, the dean of your academy."
"Ever since I knew that the Lord of the Seagod Pavilion was going to personally lead a team to the door to fight, I couldn't wait for you to behead me in the palace all day long. How do you know that you don't even have the courage to come to this Maple Leaf City to take the prestige of Super Douluo? It's really an eye-opener! ”
Zhongli Wu raised his scepter and pointed at the Shrek disciples behind Xuanzi.
"You said you came to the door alone, and you even brought a gift...... It's not in vain that I rushed to meet you when I received the news in Xining City, which is really polite. ”
