Chapter 64: Road Blockade (2nd Watch)
With Cao Kuang's deployment, Xia Jiang quietly took two people out of the camp. One of them is the bone refiner Juefeng, and now the construction of the city is still in the preparatory stage in all aspects, and he has not yet begun to participate in the construction, while the other person is the fifteenth princess Xia Ziqi.
"Brother Jiu, you have been ignoring me, I thought you forgot about Sister Jiu. Seeing that Xia Jiang suddenly came to her, Xia Ziqi was excited and didn't forget to tell about the bitterness of these days.
When Xia Jiang heard Xia Ziqi say this, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless, it wasn't fun to come here, she insisted on coming along, but after she came, she found that it was not fun at all, and she could only practice diligently all day long, and she also knew this, so Xia Jiang took the opportunity to take her out.
"How can it be, but wait a little longer, when you arrive at the Eagle Mercenary Group, you must pay attention to your princess image, you must know that you are now the image envoy of my Xia Kingdom!" Xia Jiang explained.
"What, aren't we going to play?" Xia Ziqi felt that it was wrong when she heard it, and her excitement suddenly shrank a lot.
"Ahem, I can't figure out how many of us have gone over, and none of us can come back, do you think you're going to play?" Seeing the other party say this, Xia Jiang told the truth.
Sure enough, hearing Xia Jiang say this, Xia Ziqi became scared all of a sudden, but he was scared for a few seconds just now, and then he said seriously: "I don't believe it, besides, there is a ninth brother, and I am not afraid of any of the ninth sister!"
Xia Jiang was speechless, and was about to remind and correct the identity of the fifteenth princess of the other party, but she couldn't help but remember that Xia Yun'er had stopped going back, that is to say, the position of the ninth princess might really be back in her hands, so she simply didn't say anything.
According to the analysis of the intelligence route, several people chose the most remote gravel paths, although there is a detour, but it is not noticeable, there are not many branches on the road, and you can think about some more things.
But just as they came to a small river five kilometers away from the Eagle Mercenary Regiment, seven or eight figures suddenly burst out and intercepted their way.
"Stop!" eight figures approached, completely blocking the way for several people to cross the river.
"Hey, we have to cross the river, why are you stopping us?" Seeing that the other party didn't say a word, he asked them to stop, Xia Ziqi immediately questioned.
Several of them were dressed in an extremely mysterious manner, and their clothes were like a round paper tube that circled themselves, revealing only two eyes.
There were a total of eight pairs of eyes, all of them looked at Xia Ziqi who was speaking, for some reason, they seemed to be curious that she was a little girl, and a trace of hesitation flashed in their eyes, but they still said: "This river is not open to the public now, if you want to go over, just take a detour and cross the mountain." ”
"What?, go around the mountain, who do you think you are, dare to be so domineering?" Xia Ziqi felt very angry when she heard the other party speak so lightly.
Xia Jiang saw that this little sister had never seen anything in the world, and it was hard for her to have such a serious theory with the other party, so she immediately opened her mouth and said directly: "What if we have to go over here today?" As he spoke, Xia Jiang shook the Demon Devouring Sword, and the Demon Devouring Sword went out of his body, and he easily stationed it on the grass.
Xia Ziqi, who was still holding one of Xia Jiang's arms, saw that Xia Jiang was so strong, and instinctively let go of it to the side, and she realized in her heart that these people must be deliberately targeting them, not that her intuition became stronger, but that she felt that her ninth brother Xia Jiang must be justified in making any decision.
"Your Excellency, this is our territory, a qiē is naturally up to us, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, no matter how capable the three are, please quickly bypass!"
Originally, Xia Jiang was not prepared to go around, because after all, this is only a small country, and cultivator-level powerhouses are very rare, so with his current strength, he can simply go sideways by joining forces with the Absolute Wind, and when the other party said this, he suddenly noticed that there were two major problems in the other party's words - the tone was not firm, the heartbeat was unnatural, and they were probably deliberately trying to stop them!
That's right, although he didn't know what Xia Yun'er was doing near the Imperial Courtyard, Xia Jiang's perception was constantly improving, with such a close distance between the two sides, he could clearly hear the other party's heartbeat unnaturally, especially the person who spoke, so he could conclude that these people were targeted.
"Ziqi, you hide to the side, close your eyes if you're afraid!" Xia Jiang whispered, and didn't say more to the other party, the hand holding the Demon Devouring Sword tightened suddenly, and he raised his voice: "I'll only say one last word, do you let it, or don't you let it?"
The power of Xia Jiang's magic sound burst out in an all-round way, and a powerful momentum immediately swept out, only to see that at this moment, these eight people had already covered their ears with their hands almost at the same time, and their eyes immediately widened and looked at the young man opposite them with obvious fear.
"This kid, so strong!" Especially the person standing in the middle, who felt the strongest attack of the magic sound, and a trace of blood had oozed out of his ears, and he thought at the same time: "The above told us to intercept all the main roads within two days, and not let the young people go along, I don't know if it is to stop this little ghost!"
Except for this person, although the other people were lighter, they were also extremely uncomfortable, and they couldn't help but retreat.
The other party was wearing strange clothes, as if there was an effect of hiding cultivation, and it was only after Xia Jiang shouted out at this time that he fully understood the cultivation of several people, and they were all only about twenty, and their cultivation was actually lower than him.
And the bone refiner on the side, after seeing the reactions of several people on the other side, also knew the true strength of his young master, and only then did he know that the other party really didn't go all out in the competition that day, and it was really hidden.
Xia Jiang shouted, lifted the Demon Devouring Sword, and stepped out.
It stands to reason that Xia Jiang's momentum of never looking back was enough to shock a few people back, but he saw that a few people were not moved at all, but after glancing at each other, they all took out their magic weapons.
It's also strange, the magic weapons of these people are all the same, all of them are transparent balls, crystal clear, like a delicious fruit, but when they perceive the fluctuations emitted on it, they know that they are the best magic weapons.
However, Xia Ziqi, the weakest of the three, seemed to have seen this thing, and said: "This is the water freeze ball, it can release a lot of powerful water freeze, and it can absorb combat damage!" She was not very good at expressing it, but she also told the mystery.
After all, the distance was so close, Xia Jiang immediately heard what Ziqi meant, and understood the true intention of these magic weapons, which had no lethality at all, but they could effectively hinder their actions.
Sure enough, before Xia Jiang could draw his sword, several people immediately united, and eight magic weapons called 'Frozen Balls' were thrown above their heads, and immediately, waves of fluctuations emitted out, and the eight Frozen Balls immediately rotated, and continuously shot out water columns and fine frozen particles in all directions.
Some of the particles came towards Xia Jiang's side, but before they could get close to Xia Jiang's body, they were absorbed by the Demon Devouring Sword.
Absorbing this unknown particle, Xia Jiang immediately knew that once these things encountered water, they would turn the water into a semi-solid form, which was completely able to block the explosion of sword qi that could be slashed out by a weapon like his.
"They just want to stop us from advancing, Nine Kings, I suspect that these people may be members of the Earth Wolf Legion, but I'm afraid that something will change on the side of the Eagle Mercenary Regiment!"
When Xia Jiang heard this, he also felt very suspicious, they really rarely saw these two forces appear on a large scale recently, according to the information they received, this is very abnormal, then it may be that something is happening between the two sides.
"No, we have to hurry over and see what is going on!" secretly thought in his heart, Xia Jiang couldn't hold back the Demon Devouring Sword in his hand any longer.
At this moment, under the continuous spreading of the water waves of the eight water freezing magic weapons on the opposite side, all eight of them had been wrapped, and a thick wall of water had been built in front of them.
【Spin Spike・Volley】
Xia Jiang's whole person jumped high and shot the most concentrated demon-devouring power [Spinning Spike] towards the wall, and suddenly, the huge demon-devouring power began to frantically absorb the power of the water freeze, and the demon devouring sword instantly turned into a huge water freeze body, because several people were all associated with this water freeze wall, so this huge absorption force, like a black hole, was about to be absorbed into the demon devouring sword!
When several people saw this terrifying and strange attack, their eyes widened, and they hurriedly roared, all of them used all their strength, and suddenly the power of water freezing broke out again, and the eight magic weapons burst out like rain and water freezing particles like a downpour!
Xia Jiang also knew why they were guarding this river, it was set up according to their magic weapon, if they guessed correctly, on several other roads, I am afraid that there would be other people who would also block their progress.
However, even if there is such a large amount of frozen water like a mountain, Xia Jiang is still unmoved, he has long been prepared, after the spinning thrust is played, the [Heaven Breaking Slash] is followed by it, and it is directly slashed out in mid-air, almost a mountain of water is frozen, and he broke a huge opening!
"You guys go over first!" Xia Jiang shouted.
Hearing what Xia Jiang meant, Xia Ziqi hurriedly took out his magic weapon, which is also a magic weapon of the water system, the power of the blood vein can make water waves turn into water bubbles, and has various magical transformation abilities, the most obvious of which is that it can convert air into a similar effect to hydrogen, so that the balloon can float.
Xia Ziqi blew out a large bubble to wrap himself, and his speed immediately increased, and he rushed over with the bone refiner who was wrapped in a black cloak.
When the two of them took the opportunity to rush over, Xia Jiang didn't bother to entangle with them anymore, mainly because now they relied on this river, with the assistance of the water element, and the eight people "Water Frozen Ball" magic weapon combined together, it would be very difficult for the Demon Devouring Sword to absorb, and he didn't want to waste time here.
"I'm sorry, my son won't accompany me!" Seeing that the two of them completely left the scope of the magic weapon, Xia Jiang's demon-devouring power erupted again, and the whirlwind slash cut and absorbed towards the river, and when the whole person's body was backed by the river, the demon-devouring sword, which had become like a large jelly magnified ten thousand times, was slashed in the direction of the eight people!
Knock knock knock -
The eight people, along with the eight magic weapons, were all wrapped in an even greater water freeze, and I believe that they would not be able to get out for an hour or two.
