Chapter 2: The Vanishing City of National Colors
The Great Stygian Heavenly Knife fell, and with a flash of sword light, Zhao Longcheng, who fell to the ground, was in a different place.
I saw that the body he left on the ground, and the head that rolled to the side, turned into a dark light and dissipated at the same time, leaving only the harpoon that dared to be pitch black in place.
This is actually a god soul clone.
However, Li Xiangyun did not seem surprised by this scene.
He looked in the direction where the dark void light had fled, and then looked up at the [Great Heavenly Dome Isolation Killing Array] that was still shrouded in the air.
Then he looked at a dry poplar tree on the left side of the alley, and said, "Your doppelganger master is already dead, and you haven't shown up yet, waiting for someone to collect the body?" ”
And there was no response.
Li Xiangyi directly brushed his sleeve over.
Before Li could get closer, the dry poplar tree rose from the ground and turned into a tall tree man more than three feet tall, and suddenly rushed towards him.
Sou!
The tall tree man instantly rushed in front of Li Xiangyun, his left hand was a claw, and with a slight grasp, the entire dark alley seemed to be caught by it.
And its right hand clenched into a fist and struck out fiercely, and its huge fist was like a dark moon in the darkness, enveloping Li Xiangyi's retreat in all directions.
"It's actually a half-step Saint Realm tree puppet, and it really looks up to me."
Li Xiangyi whispered, but he did not retreat, but his figure floated, and he took the initiative to step forward, and while dissolving the treeman's left hand, he hit a hundred long fists and punched against the treeman.
"Bang-"
With a muffled sound, the tall tree man and Li Xiangyi flew to the ground at the same time.
"This hundred patriarchal fists don't work, it seems that I don't have the talent to practice boxing, if I change Xiao Ye, I will definitely smash this tree man with one punch." Li Xiangyi shook his head and said.
But this punch tested the depth of this half-step Saint Realm tree puppet.
The tall tree man failed to strike and did not stop, his body turned into a green whirlwind, and rushed towards Li Xiangyi.
Li Xiangyi's eyes showed a hint of war, raised the long knife in his hand, and met him.
The two met in the air, the sword qi and the shadows of the trees were intertwined, and the surrounding earth, rocks, dust and sand were scattered and flying, chaotic and cross-flowing.
The tall tree man doesn't seem to have much mind, and attacks and kills people rely on instinctive reactions, but each blow is very fierce, like a martial artist who is not afraid of death, and between his fists, there are some laws of the Holy Realm.
Li Xiangyi's figure was like lightning, dodging the attacks of the tall tree men, and at the same time quickly swinging his sword to return fire, each with a thunderous might.
If there is a sword emperor from Beizhi Gezhou here, you can see at a glance that Li Xiangyi's sword technique is very similar to the guy who claims to be a swordsman and has the ability to suppress all sword emperors.
Even in the same vein.
It's a pity that there is a [Great Heaven Dome Killing Array], and no one knows what happened in the alley outside Wenqing Street.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiangyi, who had turned into a swordsman, fought with the tall tree man of the half-step holy realm for more than 100 rounds, without a victory.
Although the tall tree man entered the half-step Saint Realm, due to his lack of sanity, his combat power was greatly reduced, and he was only equivalent to a Ten Realm Great Grandmaster.
Li Xiangyun held the Great Stygian Heavenly Sword, but the more he fought, the stronger he became, the more he fought, the more he looked like a pure swordsman.
He has no talent in martial arts, and he is ready to fulfill his childhood wish and become an invincible swordsman.
Soon, more than two hundred rounds passed, and Li Xiangyi, who was wielding a sword like a rainbow, actually slowly suppressed the tall tree man of the half-step Saint Realm.
When the battle reached the hearty place, Li Xiangyi shouted steeply: "Look at me breaking ten thousand laws with one sword, kill!" ”
"Brush!"
A brilliant sword light seemed to fly from the Nine Shadows, shining throughout the streets and alleys.
When the sword light disappeared, Li Xiangyi, who was pretending to be a swordsman in a green shirt, stood still, and the tall tree man had already fallen and turned into two.
Li Xiangyi happily put away his sword, looked at the tall tree man on the ground who no longer had any divine sense fluctuations, and said casually: "You can fight with me Li Dao Emperor for three hundred rounds, you can be regarded as very remarkable, but it's a pity that I am too invincible, and you, who are in the half-step holy realm, can only be reduced to my whetstone, which is really a pity." ”
As a tree puppet, the tall tree man couldn't speak, but at this time, he was scattered on the ground, speechless.
There is only one scholar in green shirt who is making a knife for the first time, enjoying the comfort of being a swordsman.
"Ah Xiao said that I have no future in practicing swords, it is better to study, how do I think I can double cultivate swordsmanship? Maybe in the near future, I will be able to surpass Ah Xiao on the way to the knife and become the new number one swordsman in the world. ”
Li Xiangyi thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not impossible.
Otherwise, why didn't Ah Xiao teach him to practice knives?
It must be afraid of being surpassed by him.
In the end, he shook his head, put this thought aside for the time being, looked at the remains of the tree man on the ground, and said, "For the sake of you accompanying me to practice the knife, I will accept you." ”
After putting away the broken tree man, he looked up into the dark sky.
At this time, in the streets and alleys, there was no hidden Zhao Longcheng's backhand, and it was a little tricky to break through the [Great Heaven Dome Isolation Killing Array] in the air.
This formation is not based on killing, but for isolating heaven and earth.
Just as Zhao Longcheng's clone said, with this [Great Heaven Dome Separation Killing Array], even if the realm of the Donghua Mountain Divine Lord was high, it would be difficult to detect the changes in his qi when the two continents were separated.
This is the person behind Zhao Longcheng, specially set up to isolate the cloud twilight divine thoughts.
Li Xiangyun can probably guess why the person behind this scene wanted to kill him.
Either because he contributed to the rectification of heaven and earth, or because he entered the "Amazing World List" of the Great Dao Gold List, or because he traveled to a continent with the god lord of Donghua Mountain at the Wandering God Meeting.
It must have been one of these three things, or maybe they all combined had touched some 'big man' hiding in the dark, trying to kill him before he could grow up.
This murderous intent must have existed long before the end of the three-continent war.
But he waited until he left Beizhige Continent before he made a move, and gave the [Great Sky Dome Separation Killing Array], which can be described as deliberate.
Zhao Longcheng's Divine Soul Clone also has the combat power of the Ten Realms, if it is not restrained by Li Xiangyi's surprise, slashed, and let him launch it with the tall tree man of the half-step Saint Realm, plus this large array in the air, then Li Xiangyi will be very dangerous.
It was precisely because Li Xiangyi realized that there was still a powerful existence hidden in the array, so he would directly use his hole card - the Blood Sword Emperor to cut off his hand and destroy one first.
Now, all that was left was the Great Isolation Array overhead.
He thought about it for a while, and felt that just in case, he still had to borrow the Blood Sword Emperor to cut off his hand.
So he used the Great Stygian Heavenly Sword as a guide, and without hesitation, he stimulated the sword intent contained in the Blood Sword Emperor's severed hand.
"Boom!"
The Blood Sword Emperor's severed hand exploded directly, and the [Great Sky Dome Isolation Killing Array] in the air was also exploded, and the isolated sky light instantly tilted into the dark streets and alleys.
Li Xiangyi saw the light of day again.
As for the Blood Sword Emperor's severed hand, there is only one palm left, and at most it can be used again.
He put away the bloody palm, and then the green shirt flashed and disappeared into the alley.
Not long after he left, many powerful monks heard the movement and flew by.
……
In the north of Yangzhou, in a big city thousands of miles away, a tall and burly scholar stood on a high tower and looked in the direction of Yangzhou.
This person is none other than Zhao Longcheng who came from Beizhige Zhou.
His deity did not follow him to Yangzhou, but came here in disguise.
Standing on a tall building, he seemed to be able to see what was happening thousands of miles away.
"It's a pity, the Divine Soul clone of the Ten Realms, plus a half-step Saint Realm tree puppet, actually failed to kill Li Xiangyi, and he was on the "Amazing World List", in addition to his atmospheric luck, his strength is not to be underestimated." Zhao Longcheng whispered.
His vicissitudes of life were a little pale, and it was obvious that the killing of the soul clone had caused him a lot of backlash, but he had a smile on his face.
"Next time, you're not going to be lucky."
He whispered again, and as soon as his words fell, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes.
It turned out that he saw that near Wenqing Street in Yangzhou City, on a high-rise building called Wanghe Tower, a green-shirted swordsman dressed as Li Xiangyi was looking at him faintly.
"It's worthy of the legend of Hanshan, and you can actually find me." Zhao Longcheng praised.
At the same time, he sent a smile to Li Xiangyi.
Thousands of miles away, on the Wanghe Tower in Yangzhou, Li Xiangyi made a singing gesture to the smiling Zhao Longcheng.
And attached a sentence: "When I return to Beizhigezhou, I will cut you under the sword." ”
The smile on Zhao Longcheng's face was even stronger, and he replied, "I'll wait for you." ”
Li Xiangyi snorted coldly.
Immediately, the "talks" between the two were cut off.
Li Xiangyi went down to the Wanghe Tower and went to Wenqing Street.
Zhao Longcheng's deity is thousands of miles away, and he needs to rush to Nanmeng Huazhou as soon as possible, today's account can only be remembered first, and then he will wait for him to return to Beizhigezhou.
Anyway, he didn't suffer today.
On the contrary, it was Zhao Longcheng, who might feel distressed for a while, and died of a doppelganger of the Ten Realms, and broke a puppet of the Half-Step Saint Realm, which was a big loss.
When he went to Wenqing Street, which is known as "Bookstore Street", Li Xiangyi visited several bookstores, bought three latest poetry anthologies, and bought more than a dozen old books, which can be said to be full of harvest.
He hurried back to the Ferry Dungeon before the teleportation array to the southern border of the Midway Divine Continent was opened.
An hour later, he took the teleportation array and arrived at Tiannan City, the southernmost point of the Middle-earth Divine Continent, and from there he transferred again to Nanmeng Huazhou.
This time, there was no change in Tiannan City, and Li Xiangyi smoothly sat on the transcontinental teleportation array to Nanmenghuazhou.
When night fell on Donghua Mountain in Beizhou, Li Xiangyi set foot on the land of Nanmeng Huazhou.
Beiwangcheng, where the cross-continent ferry port is located, has also been shrouded in night.
Li Xiangyi did not delay, and when he left the teleportation underground palace, he bought a map of the whole continent of Nanmeng Huazhou, "Nanzhou Yutu", and then went to Tianxiang Country, where Guose City was located.
Tianxiang is a big country in the middle of Nanmeng Huazhou, although the national strength has declined in the past hundred years, but it is still a strong country in the middle of Nanmeng Huazhou.
Unlike most countries in Nanmenghuazhou, Tianxiang did not establish Taoism as the state religion, but advocated the purpose of farming and establishing the country by farming and warfare.
Its country name "Tianxiang" is because of the wide planting of various flowers in the territory, the fragrance floats thousands of miles, such as the arrival of the scattered flower goddess.
Guose City is the former capital of Tianxiang Country.
However, because of several major changes, the former national capital has become a small city that is not much mentioned.
Li Xiangyun actually asked Xiaowen why Jiuzhou Pavilion would set up its subordinate third-branch stronghold in such a small city in the old capital, instead of the current capital of Tianxiang Kingdom.
Xiao Wen, who is the general manager of Jiuzhou Pavilion, told her that she didn't know that the various strongholds of Jiuzhou Pavilion in the world were personally selected by the pavilion master.
Xiaowen didn't go on, but Li Xiangyun guessed that there should be some secrets of Jiuzhou Pavilion involved.
In short, the national color city, the old capital of Tianxiang country, is not simple.
Its sudden disappearance should attract quite a few people's attention.
When Li Xiangyi bought "Nanzhou Yutu", he also bought several copies of the Xianjiadi newspaper of Nanmenghuazhou, but he did not see any information about the disappearance of Guosecheng in any of the Xianjiadi newspapers.
It's the owner of Di Bao, don't you know?
Or is it being covered up?
With this suspicion, Li Xiangyun quickly went to the place where Guose City used to be.
A little haoran, a thousand miles of fast wind.
At dawn, Li Xiangyi arrived at Qianli Xiang County in Tianxiang Country.
This Qianlixiang County is the northern state and county of Guose City, he did not go directly to Guose City, but found a tea house and had a morning tea.
In the process of eating breakfast, he heard the news he was expecting.
The disappearance of Guose City has caused a great shock in the surrounding areas, not only in Qianlixiang County in the north, but also in Linjun in other directions of Guose City, which has also discovered this matter very early.
The city disappeared overnight, first shrouded in clouds and mist, and then a mountain of unknown origin appeared.
Many curious people wanted to find out, but they disappeared into the mysterious mountain and never reappeared.
As soon as this incident happened, the surrounding counties such as Senlixiang County reported the situation to the imperial court.
But what is surprising is that the court of Tianxiang Kingdom is very secretive about this matter, and Qianlixiang County Shou wrote to ask, and the above only asked him to appease the people in the county, and other matters were waiting for the court to arrange.
"Then dare to ask the old man, what arrangements has the imperial court made?" Li Xiangyi asked.
The old man sitting next to him shook his head: "There is no follow-up, so the people in the neighboring states and counties in all directions are panicking, speculating about the disappearance of Guose City, whether even the imperial court is helpless, and they are worried that it will cause a catastrophe." ”
"There was no follow-up?"
"Yes, for this reason, the county guard lord went on seven twists and turns a day, but he didn't get any response, there was no way, the lord had to move the villagers around Guose City away, and then set up a checkpoint with other counties outside the mysterious mountain, so that no one could get close."
"This old man is really a good official."
"Isn't it? If the eldest master was not here, we and other ordinary people would have been unable to sleep well, so we were afraid that we would have fled to other places overnight. ”
"Thank you for your answer, I invited you for today's morning tea!"
After thanking him and dropping a piece of broken silver, Li Xiangyi said goodbye and left.
The original site of Guose City was shrouded in clouds and mist first, and then a mysterious mountain appeared, which is really weird.
Obviously, the disappearance of Guose City is inseparable from this mysterious mountain that appeared later.
He was going to look for an opportunity to investigate.
But as soon as he was about to leave the city, he met the old man in the old man's mouth.
This county guard turned out to be a woman.
