Chapter 1: Sunset and Dusk

Next Chapter

The remnant sun is like blood, the western town of the Tang Empire, the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion in Xiliang City, the city lord Ximen Zhan is sitting on the main seat wearing a set of blue armor, and on his left and right, there are more than ten men sitting on his side, each man's face is full of heaviness, except for the young man who is sitting at the end.

The young man was very good-looking, different from the men in armor around him, he was only wearing a white robe, his long black hair was tied behind his head, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand.

The city lord Ximen Zhan, who was sitting on the main seat, glanced at the young man at the end and sighed softly.

The famous General of Ziyang I gave birth to such a waste son?

When he was born, the meridians were blocked, and he couldn't cultivate martial arts, even if he couldn't cultivate martial arts, this Wen Tao was also mediocre, and he was almost twenty years old, and he couldn't even make the simplest limerick poem, and the Three Books and Five Classics were even more of a mess.

However, with the power of the Zi family, it is nothing to raise such a waste, but this bastard boy is so bold that he dares to flirt with the princess of the dynasty in broad daylight, isn't this looking for death?

If it weren't for His Majesty's sympathy for General Ziyang's countless contributions to the empire over the years, he would have been pulled out and divided into corpses.

No, the death penalty is forgivable, the living crime is inevitable, General Ziyang sent him to Xiliang City in a fit of anger, here is the first line to resist the grassland demons, if it is an ordinary person, being assigned here, it is naturally a life to die, in this border place, the most important thing is cannon fodder, but after all, he is the son of General Ziyang, how dare he really let him be cannon fodder?

arranged a position for him as a strategist, hoping that this kid would have some military merits and go back to give an explanation to General Ziyang, but this kid is good, he doesn't stay in the army for two days a day, but he does evil in Xiliang City, flirting with women from good families everywhere, thinking of the various complaints he has received in the past few months, Ximen Zhan has an urge to let this kid join the death squad.

But why didn't this kid go out today? Instead, he wanted to attend a military meeting for the first time? Could it be that he had heard that the demons had surrounded Xiliang City? and persuaded himself to abandon the city and flee for his life? With the style of this bastard boy, such words are not unspeakable.

"Ahem......" Ximen Zhan coughed softly, attracting the attention of everyone present to himself, and then continued to speak:

"Everyone, the situation outside the city is clear now, so let's talk about our opinions......

Everyone was still silent for a while, half a month ago, the 100,000 army of the grassland demons raided Xiliang City, and in just three days, the towns around Xiliang City were completely destroyed, and all roads were cut off, and there was no time to send messages to Xiliang City.

Xiliang City, as an important border town, has 30,000 troops stationed all year round, as well as 20,000 militiamen, logically speaking, it is not a problem to hold Xiliang City with such a force, after all, conventional battles, all siege battles, the ratio of offensive and defensive casualties is generally three to one, not to mention that most of the grassland demons are cavalry, and they are not good at attacking cities at all.

But this time, an immortal master appeared in their ranks.

Immortal master, that is the legendary can call the wind and rain, it is said that except for the peak martial artist realm of the strong, otherwise anyone who meets the immortal master, the end is a death, after all, the immortal master's random spell is not an ordinary martial artist can bear.

The Tang Empire was founded by martial arts, with hundreds of millions of citizens and countless warriors, which are divided into several realms such as martial apprentices, warriors, martial artists, and martial artists.

Among them, martial apprentices are only the most basic realm, as long as they start to cultivate martial arts, they can be counted as martial apprentices.

If you have reached the realm of a samurai, you can be considered a true warrior.

Samurai are divided into one to nine levels according to the strength of the true qi in the body, and generally a samurai who reaches level five or above can be regarded as a master, in the Tang military, a samurai above the fifth level is already qualified to serve as a partial general and command a thousand-person army, and any martial artist who has reached the ninth level, as long as he can comprehend a martial art, then he can become a martial artist.

A martial artist can already be regarded as a real master, a hundred enemies are not a problem at all, if you can integrate the three martial arts, and eat them skillfully, then you can become a great martial artist, any great martial artist, already has the strength of a thousand enemies.

In the huge Xiliang City, only the city lord Ximen Zhan has reached the realm of great martial artists, and most of the others are still lingering in the realm of warriors.

As for the innate realm above the great martial artist, it is even a super-first-class master, and he must open up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, turn the innocence of innocence into innocence of true qi, form a small circulation in the body, and the true qi is endless.

Innate martial artists, even among the armies, can come and go freely!

As for the peak martial artist, it was already the peak of the secular martial artist, and now the four most powerful generals in the empire, including General Ziyang, were only in the peak martial artist realm.

It is rumored that an immortal master is something that only a peak martial artist can deal with, so you can imagine how powerful an immortal master is.

It's just that what makes everyone puzzled is that the immortal master, they are all people from the Qingtian Dao Gate, when did the people from the Qingtian Dao Gate and the Prairie Demon come together?

Didn't they always regard the grassland people as demons? The name "demon man" still came from the Qingtian Dao Gate?

It's just that the doubts are doubts, and when I thought of the black-clothed immortal master's earth-shaking technique yesterday, it directly collapsed a section of the city wall more than ten meters wide, and now everyone is apprehensive, if it weren't for the timely response of the city lord, the most elite Tsing Yi army was dispatched to block the gap as soon as possible, I am afraid that those grassland iron horsemen have rushed into Xiliang City.

To deal with the grassland demons, the biggest reliance is the city wall, but the other party now has an immortal master who can shake the earth, even if it is just an immortal master who knows the realm for the first time, the city wall is basically useless, and it only takes a few earth shaking techniques to break a hole more than 100 meters long, so with this army in the city, it is impossible to resist the iron horse of the grassland demons, at this time, what can be done?

Seeing the silence of everyone, Ximen Zhan sighed softly again, these are the elites of the Tang Empire, they have fought bloodily on the edge of the empire over the years, I don't know how many grassland demons they have killed, that is, a year ago, the grassland demon Dahan personally led an army of 200,000 to besiege the city, and they were not afraid, but now, because of the appearance of an immortal master, they are helpless.

Can they be blamed for this?

In the face of mysterious and powerful immortal masters, how can they be blamed?

That's not a mere existence that mortals can resist at all?

"Isn't it just 100,000 grassland demons? Look at you one by one, my father led 30,000 iron horsemen to the grassland, and was surrounded by them with an army of 200,000, did they come back differently? Now we still have the city wall, what are you afraid of?" At this time, a still somewhat immature voice sounded in the huge hall.

Hearing such a voice, everyone's eyes turned to the end, to the young man in white who was holding a folding fan and had an indifferent face.

"Do you know a fart? General Ziyang's martial arts are world-famous, don't say 200,000 troops, even if a million troops can kill seven in and seven out, if you have the strength of General Ziyang, we won't worry......"

"That's it, ignorant child, I really don't know how General Ziyang can have a waste son like you......"

"Yes, what else can you do besides stealing chickens and dogs and molesting women from good families?"

All of a sudden, the audience was filled with righteous indignation, and the silent people pointed the finger at Zichen one by one, he is the son of General Ziyang, yes, but this is not the imperial capital, this is the army on the border, they only respect the strong, they respect General Ziyang, but they will never be polite to a waste.

"Hehe, I'm really a waste, but no matter how useless this young master is, he dares to make a statement, what about you? As soon as I heard that there was an army of 100,000 besieging the city, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to breathe, I really don't know how you got into the position of general......" Facing everyone's mockery, Zi Chen snorted coldly, with a look of disdain.

"What are you talking about......" As soon as he heard that Zi Chen, a waste who had no true anger, actually scolded himself and the others, one of the deputy generals of Ximen Zhan, Luo Yun, who had the most short temper, stood up directly from his seat.

"The city lord asked you to come here for a discussion, but you are all silent and don't speak, isn't it because you are afraid that you don't dare to take a breath?" In the face of Luo Yun's murderous aura, Zi Chen was not afraid at all, he was also the son of the four great generals of the empire, General Ziyang, so he didn't believe that these people really dared to kill him here.

"You ......"

"That's enough......" Luo Yun was about to go crazy, Ximen Zhan, who was sitting on the main seat, suddenly spoke, and slapped his palm on the solid wood table next to him, and the table made of mahogany was smashed on the spot, not exploded into wood slag, but directly turned into powder, the tiniest wood chips.

Countless sawdust was sprinkled on the ground, except for Zi Chen, the hearts of everyone present were inexplicably beating, and the strength of the city lord was refined?

"Zi Chen, do you have any good strategies to break the enemy?" Ignoring Luo Yun, who was sitting down, Ximen Zhan said to Zi Chen, although he didn't think that Zi Chen could say any good ideas, but after all, he was a staff officer, and there was a Ziyang general behind him, so he always had to worry about his face.

"It's very simple, capture the thief and capture the king first, since the other party's immortal master can cause great damage to the city wall, isn't it okay to kill that immortal master?" Zi Chen said lightly, and the folding fan in his hand shook his head gently.

"It's easy to say, Immortal Master, that's a Cun ZĂ i that only a peak martial artist can deal with, our strongest is only in the realm of a great martial artist, and we don't even have an innate master, how can we kill that Immortal Master?" Luo Yun, who had suppressed his anger just now, snorted coldly.

If it weren't for the face of the city lord, he really wanted to teach this second ancestor who didn't know the height of the sky, yes, in the eyes of everyone, Zi Chen was a second ancestor.

"Who told you that you have to be a peak martial artist to be able to deal with an immortal master?" Zi Chen sneered.

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not, if you really need a peak martial artist to be able to deal with an immortal master, then in the face of so many immortal masters in the Qingtian Dao Sect, wouldn't you have already dominated the world, but for so many years, the Qing Tian Dao Sect has never dared to be an enemy of my Tang Empire, why is this?" Zi Chen snorted coldly.

"This ......" Don't say that Luo Yun was speechless, everyone present was speechless for a while.

Yes, there are only a few peak martial artists on the surface of the empire, but how many immortal masters are there in the Qingtian Dao Sect? As far as they know, there are more than a hundred, if the immortal masters are really that powerful, then wouldn't the Qingtian Dao Sect already dominate the world?

"Immortal masters are indeed very powerful, but their strength lies not in themselves, but in their spells, the reason why it is said that the peak martial artist can deal with the immortal master, it is because the peak martial artist's body has been able to resist the magic power of the immortal master, but if you want to kill an immortal master, especially an immortal master in the realm of beginners, any martial artist, even an ordinary person, can kill him......"

"How is this possible?" exclaimed everyone present except for Simon Zhan.

Immortal Master, that is an extremely mysterious and powerful being, even a martial artist in the innate realm is difficult to deal with, let alone an ordinary person?

"Why is it impossible? Immortal masters are also human beings, ordinary immortal masters who have just known the realm, their physical strength is not even as good as that of an ordinary martial artist, what is so difficult to kill him?" Zi Chen said lightly.

"How do you know?" it was Luo Yun who asked.

"Hmph......" Facing Luo Yun's question, Zi Chen just snorted coldly.

The others suddenly realized one by one, who is he? He is one of the four great generals of the empire, the son of the Ziyang General, the Ziyang General is the peak martial artist, in addition to the conquest of the grassland demons, he has also led the army to fight with the southern country, the southern country, this is the sphere of influence of the Qingtian Daomen, it is said that there were no less than three immortal masters who died at the hands of the Ziyang general, who else knows the weaknesses of the immortal master better than him?

As the son of General Ziyang, even if he is a waste again, he has heard General Ziyang mention it somehow, right?

"Even if the immortal master's physical body is weak, but he is heavily protected by the grassland demons, how easy is it to kill him?" At this time, it was another officer who spoke.

"No matter how difficult it is, I have to kill it, if that immortal master doesn't die, Xiliang City will be broken, Liang Yin, tomorrow you are responsible for defending the city, Luo Yun, Tian Xing, tomorrow you two will go out of the city with me, and attack and kill that immortal master with all your might......" At this time, Ximen Zhan, who had been sitting on the main seat, spoke.

"General, this must not be ......" As soon as they heard that Ximen Zhan was going to go out of the city to kill the immortal master in person, everyone was shocked, you know, the other party has 100,000 iron horses, on the plain, the iron horse of the demon is almost invincible, even if it is located in Xiliang City, which is located on the border, the cavalry that can deal with the demon iron horse is only the 3,000 Tsing Yi army belonging to the city lord's mansion, even if the city lord leads all the 3,000 Tsing Yi iron horsemen out of the city, and wants to kill the immortal master in the 100,000 army, it is also an egg to hit the stone?

"Yes, general, you are the commander of the whole army, and the Chinese army needs you to be in charge, how can you risk your life and leave the assassination of the immortal master to my old Luo?" Luo Yun jumped up even more, as the deputy general of Ximen Zhan, how could such a dangerous thing let Ximen Zhan go?

"How sure are you that you can complete the task?" Facing Luo Yun's request, Ximen Zhan just said lightly.

"This ......" Luo Yun was silent for a while, although he was also a fierce general, but his cultivation could not reach the fifth level of a warrior, and he was really not sure that he would behead a general among tens of thousands of iron horsemen?

"Don't say anything about coming to see me, I know your loyalty, but this matter is related to the safety of my Xiliang City, and I can't afford to lose anything, I must go to ......" Ximen Zhan said categorically.

As the number one master of Xiliang City, he must take on this responsibility at this time.

"General, please redeem the juniors bluntly, even if you go in person, you are not sure that you will kill the immortal master, if my expectations are not bad, that immortal master should stay by the side of the demon commander, even if the general's martial arts are world-famous, I am afraid that it will be difficult to rush to the front of the handsome banner, right? Even if the general really rushes to the front of the handsome banner, how can there be no master by the other party's side?" At this time, Zi Chen spoke again.

"Even if I don't know much, I have to go, otherwise once that immortal master destroys the city wall, this little force in the city will not be able to support the arrival of the general at all......" Ximen Zhan's eyes were unprecedentedly firm.

"Actually, there is no need for the general to risk his life at all, I can recommend one person, who can definitely kill that immortal master......" Zi Chen's face was indifferent.

"Who?" Don't talk about the Ximen Battle, everyone present looked at Zi Chen, in the entire Xiliang City, is there still a master who can take the head of the general among thousands of troops?

"I ......" Zi Chen straightened his chest, shook the folding fan in his hand vigorously, and shook his head even harder, it was really coquettish in the world......
