Chapter 526: They Return from Abroad
In the battle of Burial Hualing, almost half of the seven half-saints who came to encircle and suppress Tang Ji were killed, and the four people who survived were also seriously injured.
After a full hundred years of peace in the Sacred Word Continent, it was rare for the world to see such a large-scale scene of demi-saint death.
Since the autonomy of the human and demon races in the north and south of the territory, until today, there are generally only two or four demi-saints residing in human countries.
For example, Wei Guo has Lu Sanjiao, Bai Jianqiu, Xu Huanzhi, and Jinguo has Wang Xianzhi, Wang Ningzhi, and Hu Bei, while Qingguo only has Hua Zikai and Chen Hao.
They are Liu Lingfeng, Ouyang Duoduo, He Yang who appeared today, and Zhou Ji who died in the Battle of the Yellow Crane Tower.
If you add up all the half-saints of the ten kingdoms of mankind that are now left in the northern region of zài, it will be about twenty or thirty people, but today they have lost one-tenth of them in the burial flower ridge!
Don't underestimate this tenth, you know, the holy path of Wendao is hard to find, the more you go up, the more difficult it is, the human civilization and Taoism in a hundred years, it has only achieved so many semi-saints, and one tenth of them died in one day, which can already be regarded as the martyrdom day of the entire Wendao world!
∫
But in fact, this is not the most painful loss of mankind in the world of literature today.
In other words, although it seems that the formation of the Burial Flower Ridge today is very large, not only with the arrival of the seven Semi-Saints, but also the arrival of eight Saints, in fact, in the future in the history books, the Burial Flower Ridge is by no means the only place worth writing today.
Because at the same time. In a certain city southeast of Fuhualing, a battle took place that is worth remembering for future generations.
Historical name: The Battle of Bishui.
Just when Tang Ji was encircled and suppressed by the Seven Semi-Saints led by Liu Lingfeng. At the head of the city of Bishui Pass, seven figures also appeared.
Each of them had a brilliant golden glow burning on their bodies. It is hotter than the scorching sun, more brilliant than the stars and the moon, as if the entire Bishui Pass has been plated with a layer of golden light, which makes people feel awe.
These seven people are all half-saints.
But except for Xu Huanzhi, Bai Jianqiu, Fei Zhao and Chen Hao, who had been stationed in the gate from the beginning, the other three were all fresh faces.
Perhaps even in the hearts of today's patriotic subjects, they have long forgotten who they are and what they have done for the defense of the country. Forget why they disappeared from the world for decades.
Forget it, they are the defenders of the country, the whole of mankind, and the most singable and weeping heroes of the entire Sacred Word Continent.
But Shenmu Mountain will not forget them, the tea saint Lu Yu will not forget them, and the holy area will not forget them.
Emperor Canglan has never forgotten them.
They had returned from the Sanctuary, and for the first time had decided to defend their kingdom with their lives after decades of guarding the continent.
Today's Bishui Pass is more than in the past. It seems extremely depressed and desolate, because originally in Xu Huanzhi's plan, this city was ready to be handed over to Emperor Canglan.
All the people in the city have already been evacuated, and all the supplies have been taken away. Those who couldn't take it away had already been burned clean, and the allied forces led by the Zhennan Army and the Northern Army had already been ambushed in the Sunset Plain, waiting for a decisive battle with the Three Kingdoms Alliance led by Emperor Canglan.
But the unexpected happened suddenly.
Tang Ji had doubts before when he faced the encirclement and suppression of the Seven Semi-Saints. In the grim form of today's civil war, these seven demi-saints infiltrated the territory of the Patriotic State. Didn't it arouse Lu Yu's vigilance? Didn't even Xu Huanzhi find out at all?
Of course not!
If it were really that easy, this battle would simply not have to be fought. As long as Emperor Canglan sent a few half-saints to go deep into the rear of the country, and come to the inside and outside, the Bishui Pass would have been broken long ago!
So the only answer is that Liu Lingfeng and several other half-saints were deliberately put in by Lu Yu and Xu Huanzhi!
Why?
It's just a matter of turning the tiger away from the mountain.
At the same time that Liu Lingfeng, Wang Xianzhi, Lin Ce and other half-saints went to the Burial Flower Ridge to arrest Tang Ji, Emperor Canglan had already become a loner!
This may be Xu Huanzhi's only chance.
It is also the only chance to defend the country.
So at the moment when the Seven Semi-Saints landed in Hualing, Xu Huanzhi had already led Bai Jianqiu and the others to stand at the head of the city of Bishui Pass, looking at Emperor Canglan's gaze, as if looking at a dead person.
Standing in front of Emperor Canglan today, there are not only the first half-saint of the country, Xu Huanzhi, but also the only flower path half-saint in Qingguo, Chen Hao, the strongest chess half-saint in the Tang Kingdom, Fei Zhao, and one of the guardians of Shenmu Mountain in the past century, Bai Jianqiu.
In addition, what Xu Huanzhi values most is the figure of the three who returned from abroad.
Because in the three of them, there are more things that others don't have, that is, the indifference to life, the indifference to life and death, and the killing intent that Xu Huanzhi is extremely afraid of.
There are a total of six demi-saints in the country, and now except for Lu Sanjiao, who is imprisoned in the Changtian Holy Temple, the remaining five people are all gathered, in order to kill the Canglan Emperor here!
Xu Huanzhi saw it very clearly, as long as Emperor Canglan died, the danger of the civil war would be solved!
For this reason, he even allowed the seven demi-saints to sneak into the territory of the Patriotic Kingdom and ignore them.
For this reason, he even gave up the plan of the decisive battle on the plain where the sun never sets, and instead defended the Bishui Pass.
But the premise of this qiē is that the Canglan Emperor is willing to fight.
And now, under the hands of Emperor Canglan, there are still more than 200,000 troops to suppress him!
Therefore, Xu Huanzhi needed to give Emperor Canglan a reason, a reason to fight with the seven of them regardless of a qiē, and a reason for Emperor Canglan to want to kill him.
"Ji Nantian, do you remember me?"
This is the first sentence that Xu Huanzhi, as the chief general of the First Army, said to Emperor Canglan since the beginning of the civil war.
To this, Canglan Huang's answer was very simple.
Or rather, so understatement.
"I know who you are, but to say let me remember, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're not qualified enough. ”
The cotton robe on Xu Huanzhi's body swayed slightly, and he didn't feel ashamed because of this, but said in a deep voice: "In this case, my father Xu Qiuchao, do you remember?"
This time, there was finally a hint of surprise in Emperor Canglan's expression, because this was indeed a very unexpected answer.
It turned out that Xu Huanzhi was a Tianlan person.
It turned out that Xu Huanzhi was the son of Xu Qiuchao, the general of Tianlan State.
But even so, it is not worth the Canglan Emperor's jealousy, the left and right are just cutting the grass without eradicating the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows, his goal is to become the emperor who unifies the entire Sacred Word Continent, how can he be moved by just an avenger?
Until Xu Huanzhi immediately said the following sentence.
"If you have forgotten this, then have you ever remembered your first wife, the poor girl who committed suicide by swallowing a hundred poisonous herbs on the first day of marriage, Jiu'er!"
