Chapter Eighty-Five: Break It for Me
Halfway up the mountain not far from Qingwu Academy, Chen Xi looked out from the dilapidated house and was relieved to find that no one was chasing after him. Before, he used the spirit thunder outside the Little Mantian Sect, which was a huge risk. But in the situation at that time, he had no other choice, Zhao Wujing's cultivation was so strong that Chen Xi couldn't resist.
Once Zhao Wujing is allowed to strike first, Chen Xi may not even have the slightest chance of surviving. The use of spiritual thunder is for safety considerations, and the use of spiritual thunder is also for safety considerations, for Chen Xi, this is not something that needs to be tangled at all, just use it. Although he is cautious, he is also decisive in his character. What he needs to do now is to guarantee himself a chance to enter the Nine Shadows Dungeon.
Chen Xi had seen the two red-robed old men guarding the door outside the Nine Shadows Dungeon, and the cultivation of those two people was impossible to guess. It was impossible for Chen Xi to enter with his own strength, and even if he could, he was not at all sure that he would be able to enter the deeper depths of the Nine Shadows Dungeon.
The Transformation Tower and the Nine Shadows Dungeon are a mirror image, and the Transformation Tower is more mysterious than the other layer, so relatively speaking, the Nine Shadows Dungeon must be more dangerous than the other. When the Ghost Nine Master escaped with him, he only told him that his parents were trapped in the Nine Secluded Dungeon, and now Chen Xi didn't know what layers his parents were trapped in.
The old man, who claimed to be a remnant of the soul, said that if he wanted to enter the Nine Shadows Dungeon, he would have to resort to the greed of those outside.
So now all Chen Xi has to do is wait.
This place is relatively remote, and it is not very far from Qingwuyuan. Chen Xi could clearly observe the situation on the Qingwu Academy's side, and once he had the opportunity, he could take the opportunity to sneak in. He wanted to return to the Inner Sect immediately, but he suddenly had a hunch that the current Inner Sect was only afraid of being more dangerous than the outside.
At this moment, Chen Xi saw that there was a sudden chaos on the side of the outer sect.
Apparently, the negotiations eventually broke down.
Chen Xi saw that the dean of the Sixth Academy of the Outer Sect had climbed the wooden pagoda again, and except for the six of them, all the disciples and introductory disciples of the Outer Sect did not appear. The place where Chen Xi was located happened to be able to overlook the Outer Sect, and he found that the six wooden towers of the Outer Sect formed a figure, like a crescent moon and like a scimitar out of the sheath.
From here, Chen Xi saw some people dressed in elder robes sitting cross-legged under the wooden pagoda. The closest Qingwu Temple is the most clearly visible...... Zhou Jiuzhi stood alone on the high part of the wooden tower, and under the wooden tower, there were six old people sitting on the ground around the wooden tower. The six people seemed to form a circle, but Chen Xi observed carefully enough that he found that if they were connected by lines, the six people could form a six-pointed star.
In the distance, there were drums of war in the sky, and the huge chariots and warships began to slowly start. At the foreground was a row of four 100-meter-long warships, with a grayish-black hull that looked like they were made of steel. Each warship could carry at least four or five hundred cultivators, and there seemed to be some special devices on both sides of the warship.
Chen Xi looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly understood what it was. He had seen that kind of thing in the illusion on the seventh floor of the Alteration Tower, a ballista that could fire a giant crossbow tens of centimeters thick. And the crossbow-arrow has runes on it to bless the power, and the power is huge. Even the protection of the Kunlun Divine Tree was almost broken by the giant crossbow, so Chen Xi was particularly worried about Zhou Jiuzhi's safety.
The sound of war drums, each warship has five rhinoceros skin drums, the war drums are two meters in diameter, standing on splints. In front of each war drum, there stood a strong man with a naked body. These men are two meters tall, and their muscles are as palpitating as rocks. The most surprising thing was that the twenty drums on the four warships beat at the same time, without any error.
To the sound of war drums, the huge warship flew over the outer sect. Then the four warships turned around neatly, facing the side of the outer sect. Chen Xi saw that on both sides of each warship, there were eight ballistas. This kind of formation, where it is still a matter of rivers and lakes, is simply a war.
Chen Xi had never seen the Great Chu's army invade foreign countries, but he was sure that these warships were definitely not owned by any family. The weapon of this kind of power can already threaten the safety of a certain city or place. The Great Chu Imperial Family would never allow the following families to have such a thing...... Then there is only one possibility, this is the warship of the Great Chu army.
The ones who could mobilize the army were naturally the thirty-six Templar Generals.
Chen Xi looked at the mast of the warship and did not see the flag. It seems that those people are still cautious and dare not reveal their identities. However, Chen Xi speculated from the people who had met the Zhao family before that the first four warships were transferred from the Huang family of the Holy Church.
It is said that the Thirty-Six Holy Churches have almost reached an alliance in order to deal with the national teacher. The national teachers supported the king of Pingjiang, and they supported the king of Anyang. In fact, there is nothing difficult to guess about this kind of thing, once the prince supported by the national teacher is allowed to succeed to the throne, then the already powerful national teacher is afraid that no one can resist.
The Thirty-Six Holy Church Generals also wanted to maintain their position under the new emperor's rule, so naturally they would not let the national teacher continue to dominate.
But until now, Chen Xi has not seen anyone from the national teacher appear. In the face of such a disaster, the Little Mantian Sect still had only its own people fighting. Chen Xi didn't understand a little, why didn't the national teacher send someone here? Once the Xiaoman Heavenly Sect fell and Shenteng was taken away, wouldn't the national teacher fall into disadvantage?
Just when Chen Xi thought of this, the attack began.
......
......
Open!
Open!
Open!
After three slow, neat war drums, the offensive began. The ballistae on the four warships began to wield, and in an instant, twenty huge crossbows-arrows were shot out. Those crossbow-arrows were like black pythons that suddenly swooped down from the sky, with a terrifying aura.
At the same time, the dean standing on the wooden tower of the Sixth Courtyard raised his arms at the same time and slowly held it up, and then Chen Xi was surprised to find that a huge light shield rose from the ground, and with the gestures of the six deans, it quickly rose into the air, covering the entire Sixth Courtyard of the Outer Sect. It was a pale blue curtain of light that rose at an extremely fast rate. Just when Chen Xi had the illusion that the twenty heavy crossbows were about to hit the building of the Sixth Courtyard, the light curtain bounced all the heavy crossbows back.
Chen Xi's position was very good, and he clearly saw the brilliance coming out of the six elders sitting cross-legged under the wooden tower, and the runes appeared on the ground, the lines were connected, and it was a six-pointed star pattern. There are also intricate runes in the pattern, flashing one after another, and then transmitting the power through the guò wooden tower to the heights.
Chen Xi had seen these wooden towers before, and thought they were just ordinary buildings for lookouts. Now he realized that the outer sect of the Little Mantian Sect was not as vulnerable as he imagined. When he saw those huge warships, his first reaction was that the Outer Sect simply couldn't resist such a powerful army.
But now, he suddenly found that he didn't know anything about the Little Mantian Sect at all. He originally thought that he was born in the Inner Sect, and his father was the sect master of the Little Mantian Sect, and he knew this sect better than anyone else. He thought that the outer sect only had some introductory cultivation in the Void Breaking Realm, and it couldn't stop the attack of the army at all.
But what he thought was a qiē stemmed from his ignorance. He found that the Little Mantian Sect was unfamiliar, not the Little Mantian Sect he was familiar with. He had never seen any of the dozens of elders sitting cross-legged under the wooden pagoda that suddenly appeared. Are these people usually there? Is the purpose of their existence to deal with such a war?
The light curtain rises, and all the heavy crossbows cannot be broken. A loud horn sounded from the ship, and then the second salvo began. Twenty more heavy crossbows attacked, and the heavy crossbows that came over this time were obviously different. It's a little smaller than the first heavy crossbow shot, but it's more powerful!
One of the heavy crossbows was bounced away by the light curtain, and Chen Xi saw that the heavy crossbow flew towards him, swept over the roof and landed in the mountains and forests, and then a strong light flashed. A moment later, hurricanes poured out of the mountains and forests, each flying several meters long, easily leveling the mountains and forests within a few hundred meters. Those large trees that were originally hugged together were vulnerable at this time, and being swept by the wind blade was like cutting off a cucumber with a quick knife.
A wind blade flew towards this side, and Chen Xi immediately subconsciously lowered his head. The wind blade neatly cut off the roofs of half of the houses, and then swept down six or seven more trees in front of the yard. With such a powerful attack power, Chen Xi felt a chill in his heart. With this level of attack, even if he tried his best, he might be able to barely block one. Or is it because his Aoki sword is a Kunlun artifact, and if he relies on the power of cultivation, he is afraid that he will not be able to stop it. However, not being able to block it does not mean that it cannot be avoided.
It can also be seen how strong the protective shield supported by the dean of the Sixth Academy of the Outer Sect is.
After Chen Xi avoided the wind blade, Chen Xi raised his head and looked over there. It was discovered that the ships had apparently changed tactics after failing to break through the defenses with two volleys. One of the ships began to turn around, with the bow facing the light curtain. Then Chen Xi saw a person swept up the mast, standing on the highest place in the cold wind, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but as soon as he appeared, people felt that he was a real soldier.
From a distance, you can see that the man is wearing a gray robe, he is standing on the mast, one hand is stretched out in front of him, and the other hand is slowly pulled back, and then a huge bow ten meters long appears in the void in front of him! The bow is blurred, his left arm is stretched out, but he is not holding the bow, and his right arm is pulled back and does not hold the bowstring. But as he moved, the huge curved bowstring pulled like a full moon.
Chen Xi's eyes widened instantly, and he felt the terrifying aura on the bent bow from such a distance.
A feather arrow, which was also ten meters long, conjured up, and as soon as the man let go, the feather arrow turned into a streamer and shot directly towards the place where Su Xiaosu, the dean of the Huangluan Academy, was.
Perhaps this person thinks that Su Xiaosu is the only woman among the six deans, and subconsciously feels that women will be slightly weaker. But no matter who he chosen, the arrow was enough to be feared.
The feathered arrow slammed into the light curtain, and although it was blocked, it could be seen that it was still rushing forward. The light curtain was pressed downward, and Chen Xi even had the illusion that he heard an overwhelming click.
The six elders sitting under the Suxiao Sumu Pagoda got up at the same time, and then took a step forward, and all six of them stretched out their hands and clasped them together, forming a circle. The six-pointed star pattern on the ground changed, and a circular circle of light appeared in the six-pointed star, and the aperture rose rapidly, and a powerful force was injected into Su Xiaosu.
The robe on Su Xiaosu's body fluttered, and the still beautiful face looked solemn. She raised her hands upward, and the light curtain bounced upwards with her arms. Maybe the person who sent the arrow outside didn't know at all, although she was a woman, she had never lost to any man around her in her life.
Chen Xi heard a cold snort from the man on the warship, and once again condensed the longbow and fired three arrows in a row!
"Break it for me!"
A roar resounded through the heavens and the earth.
