Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fire and Sword, Battle

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

The two men broke their silence at the same time and asked.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, and then fell silent.

At this moment, both of them guessed each other's identities, but they didn't know how to speak.

Jiang Shinian put the storage in his hand on the ground in front of him with a gloomy expression, and reached out and began to slowly untie the linen cloth that wrapped his hair in a bun.

When the two horns on his forehead appeared in front of Xuanyuan, Xuanyuan's expression was even more gloomy. He also put the storage Jue in his hand on the ground in front of him, and was about to take off the ornament in his neck to identify himself, when the two storage items on the ground suddenly trembled.

The two pieces of storage kept vibrating, approaching each other, attracting each other, and then sucking together with a "snap".

Seeing this scene, the two were stunned, looking at each other at a loss, unable to understand why this was happening.

After a long time, Xuanyuan reached out and took the connected storage jue and held it in his hand to look at it carefully. As the divine sense penetrated, it was found that after the two pieces of storage were combined, there was suddenly a space in multiple places, but there was some kind of prohibition on it, and it couldn't be opened by itself. After thinking about it, Xuanyuan handed the storage jue to Jiang Shinian and asked him to take a look at it too.

After Jiang Shinian got the storage Jue, he also found the extra space in it, and said to Xuanyuan: "It seems that there is an extra space, but I can't open the prohibition above." ”

Then he looked at the storage items together, and said hesitantly, "Why don't we try it together?"

After hearing this, Xuanyuan stretched out a finger and touched it on the storage jue, and the two of them met in the storage jue, and they joined hands to work together, and the prohibition was shattered.

The extra space is relatively small, and there are only two scrolls inside, one yellow and one red. The two of them each took out a scroll and opened it to look at it, and found that the red one was the technique of making inflammation and transforming the shape, and the yellow one was a set of swordsmanship.

The two looked at the scrolls in their hands, and knew in their hearts that it must be a little trick made by Ding Cong, who deliberately made two identical storage boxes, and put these two scrolls in them in advance, for the sake of today's scene.

The heart was clear, but the two of them still didn't speak, and each opened the scroll and read it carefully. Then the two glanced at each other, and said in unison helplessly: "I don't understand, what about you?"

At this time, the two of them figured it out, so they exchanged scrolls, Jiang Shinian looked at the swordsmanship, and Xuanyuan looked at the flame technique. After a long time, the two of them sighed at the same time, and Xuanyuan spoke first: "I really don't understand what the high priest thinks, this is not something I can learn at all." ”

Jiang Shinian also said indifferently: "I don't have a sword, I can't learn swordsmanship, even if I have a sword, it's useless, and the exercises I have learned are fundamentally incompatible." Then he asked thoughtfully, "Why can I understand this volume?"

Xuanyuan was also thinking about this problem, shook his head and said, "I don't know, the high priest always does things like this, unless he says it himself, no one can figure it out." ”

After speaking, he said to Jiang Shinian with a smile: "But I understand his intentions, but I don't know what you think." ”

Jiang Shinian also said with a smile: "I didn't pay attention to the things back then, but I needed some things to motivate myself when I was young, but now it seems to be a little difficult to ride a tiger." ”

Xuanyuan knew that what Jiang Shinian said was the truth, and if he got along with him in a different place, I am afraid it would be the same.

Now that things have evolved into political events between alliances and alliances, private feelings can no longer play any role, and the end result is war except negotiation. Both of them understood the truth, looked at each other and smiled, and then simply let go of all their emotions and started talking.

The two of them are brothers, and their temperaments are almost the same, so they talk about whether they are happy or not, exchange with each other about the differences between the two places, the advantages and disadvantages of tools, the differences in species, etc., and finally talk about the differences in practice, various experiences, and so on. In short, the night was bright and the east was dawning, and the two still felt that they were not enough to have fun, so they agreed to meet here again in the evening.

There was nothing to say during the day, and in the evening, the two reunited on the top of the mountain and continued to talk about what they talked about last night. In such five nights, the topic gradually led to the division of the world, both of them are people with big hearts and great ambitions, and their views on the world's major events tend to be the same, but whenever the topic of reunification is mentioned, they will choose to avoid talking about it. But tonight there is no way to avoid it, the world's major affairs will eventually be resolved, and the two finally have a dispute over this matter.

Jiang Shi was born on the bank of Jiang Shui, which is a place of four stops, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very advantageous to the terrain. Xuanyuan lives on the bank of Yingshui, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the central and eastern parts are endless plains, with fertile land and abundant products, but there is no danger to defend. The reason why the Yan Department is advancing eastward is precisely because of this point, but it is even more difficult for the Yellow Emperor Department to conquer the Yan Department.

Jiang Shinian sighed and said, "I agree with your governing philosophy, but you can't subdue all the tribes by relying on these alone, and you will ultimately have to rely on conquest." But if you want to conquer other small tribes, it is easy, the most difficult is my Yanbu and Jiuli, Jiuli is not to mention, how can you attack Jiang Shui?"

After hearing this, Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes stood up, and he said with some displeasure: "Then you mean that you have more advantages than me?"

Jiang Shinian smiled and said: "The Yanbu occupies the terrain, and it is much easier to unify it, you just need to keep moving eastward, and there is no worries." Once the attack is frustrated, it is enough to retreat. ”

Xuanyuan frowned and asked, "But after all, there are not many people in your Yan Clan, and if you go east, you have to raise your clan to come, how can you still have the strength to defend the rear?"

Jiang Shinian was also amazed in his heart, and in just a few days, Xuanyuan knew his predicament from the conversation between the two. As Xuanyuan said, although the land of the four stops has a great defensive advantage, after all, someone must defend it. The clansmen brought by this eastward advance are all light and strong people, and the alliance's remaining strength is weak, if it weren't for Jiang Shinian's sweeping of the surrounding tribes a few years ago, he really wouldn't dare to go east easily.

Jiang Shinian said with a smile: "Indeed, as you said, the rear of my Yan Department is empty, but now who else but you knows? Even if they know, will they really dare to occupy my Yan Region?"

"If I give the news to Chi You, do you think he will be interested?" Xuanyuan was a little annoyed by Jiang Shinian's words, and then mocked slightly: "You and I both know Chi You's heart, even if he doesn't copy your back road now, what about after you and me fight?" Do you dare to say that he will definitely attack me first?"

This is not unreasonable, Jiang Shinian also knows that the strength of the two sides is almost the same, once the war starts, the end will inevitably be a defeat for both sides, and if Chi You takes advantage of the weakness, no matter who he attacks, it will be a ruin. If Chi You had a thorough grasp of the situation, he would definitely attack Jiang Shui first and then go east to Yingshui. It's just that it's far and dangerous to go to Jiang Shui, but who can tell what he plans to do? Xuanyuan's words are already a little heartfelt, which makes Jiang Shinian very unhappy.

Jiang Shinian's original practice was anger, although his temperament was calm, but the anger was still quite big, and when he heard the unpleasantness, he couldn't help but be angry, and his blood was churning and the flames were rolling and overflowing, instantly melting the mountain stone behind him into magma.

When Jiang Shinian's aura soared, Xuanyuan subconsciously summoned the Xuanyuan Sword to stand in front of him, and also relied on the Xuanyuan Sword to block it in front of him, otherwise it would be really difficult to take it this time.

After a buzzing sound on Xuanyuan's sword, all the lava in front of the sword remained, while the mountain stone behind Xuanyuan remained.

In this way, Xuanyuan also became angry, originally the war between the two clans was his heart disease, but now it is good, Jiang Shinian actually started directly without saying a word, looking at the lava in front of him, he was also deeply jealous, if this was burned on himself, what might it look like.

Jiang Shinian was also startled when he saw that he had inadvertently made such a big move, thinking to himself when did his practice be promoted? Originally, the angry flame when the anger surged was in vain, it might be terrifying for ordinary people, as long as the cultivator who practiced for a period of time would not really be injured, but now he actually melted Xu Fangyuan into magma in an instant.

Jiang Shinian was pleasantly surprised by the breakthrough in cultivation, and a slight smile naturally appeared on his face, and he actually forgot that there was still Xuanyuan sitting in front of him with an angry face. Jiang Shinian was overjoyed and suddenly remembered the piece of dark iron that his uncle gave him some time ago, although it was later restored to its original state, but according to the master, the things in it had been integrated into his palm, and he didn't know what benefits it would bring, in short, Uncle Shi's gift would definitely not be bad. Thinking of this, Jiang Shinian looked down at the faint white marks in his palm.

Just when Jiang Shinian was happy in his heart, Xuanyuan's sword moved, and the long sword that was originally opposite his back suddenly turned angled, and the sharp blade in the cold light flickered from bottom to top, and the tip of the sword was slashed against the horns on Jiang Shinian's forehead.

Xuanyuan looked at Jiang Shinian with a smile on his face, although he was angry, he was also very measured. When he didn't know why he suddenly made a move, he only gave a slight warning when he took out his sword, so the tip of the sword seemed to be about to cut off the horns, but in fact, it was just the tip of the sword brushing. It's just that he didn't expect Jiang Shinian to suddenly make a bowing movement, and as his head leaned forward slightly, the horns just met the tip of the sword.

After all, he is a person born with a fire appearance, and the vision on his body is a gift from heaven, and this body has been cultivated for many years, and it is also extremely tenacious. The moment the horns and the tip of Xuanyuan's sword met, sparks shot out, and the sharp friction sound was even more piercing, followed by a slight pause in Xuanyuan's sword momentum, and then it immediately slashed again.

There was a soft sound of "pop" and "poof", and the horn on the right side of Jiang Shinian's head broke off, and he disappeared in an instant when he fell into the lava.

Jiang Shinian was stunned, reached out and touched his broken corner, this time he couldn't bear it anymore, and a sharp stinging pain continued to cone the nerves in his head. Jiang Shinian's forehead was bruised, and the flames of his whole body rose out, and the white-gold flames were actually glowing with black and purple light.

Xuanyuan's sword was still on the action when he was raised, and Xuanyuan's arm still had a slight feeling of soreness when he cut through hard objects, so he held the sword and watched blankly as the corner of the sword entered the lava, and Jiang Shinian turned into a burning man. Then knowing that the big battle was inevitable, Xuanyuan Sword quickly returned to his chest, ready to meet Jiang Shinian's angry blow first, and then explain.

Jiang Shinian was completely burned by anger, and he didn't see the shame on Xuanyuan's face at all, nor did he see that Xuanyuan Sword was just taking a defensive position. In Jiang Shinian's eyes, Xuanyuan had completely opened his posture and was ready to strike head-on again.

Jiang Shinian no longer hesitated, and slowly pushed out with his palms stretched out. The reason why it looks like slow motion is that he is constantly pushing his palm, so repetitive and fast creating the illusion of overlapping.

A thick wall of fire appeared between the two, and a wall of platinum fire with a deep purple color slammed into Xuanyuan. The Xuanyuan Sword was too late to cut out, so it could only be pushed over like Jiang Shinian, and the soul power attached to the sword quickly wrapped around the whole body with this push, like thick armor. But still unable to resist the momentum of the wall of fire, Xuanyuan was pushed back and forth, and the hard rocks under his feet were ploughed out by his feet into two deep furrows. As the wall of fire progressed, the deep ditch turned into lava and was slowly filled.

Xuanyuan was forcibly pushed to the edge of the cliff, and he couldn't borrow his strength, so he simply pushed out with both arms, and used the force of the reverse thrust to accelerate himself out of the top of the mountain and fly down the valley. When the wall of fire lost its block, it swooped down like a dragon on the opposite mountain. The mountain peak did not collapse after being hit by the wall of fire, but slowly melted, and in a moment the fiery red lava flowed through the valley, and the flames raged, leaving a sea of fire in its pass.

Xuanyuan rose up with the sword in mid-air, glanced at the terrifying scene under his feet, and was shocked in his heart, knowing that Jiang Shinian's blow had used all his strength without reservation, his flames were too terrifying, if it wasn't for Xuanyuan's sword to resist, I am afraid that it would be over in one round as the high priest said.

At this time, Xuanyuan was also a little angry, even if Jiang Shinian was angry because of his accidental injury, he would not be able to launch his full strength, this was clearly to be desperate. Since Jiang Shinian has done his best, if he has any reservations, I am afraid that he will die here tonight.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan flew high in the air and slashed at the burning man-like Jiang Shinian. The sword was in his hand, and the sword qi flew out from the sword, like a huge silver-white hook flying towards the top of the mountain. The sword qi was originally strong and substantial, but this sword qi was made by Xuanyuan using soul power to simulate and attach spiritual power, it was really sharp, and the sword qi came in an instant, slashing at Jiang Shinian's body fiercely.

Jiang Shinian punched out with a single fist with his left hand, and condensed the fireball behind the back of his right hand, at this time, the sword qi had arrived, and the huge fire fist collided with the sword qi and was extinguished at the same time. Shielded by the flames aroused by the two energies, the fireball in Jiang Shinian's right hand behind him was quickly thrown, passing through the flames in the air and flying towards Xuanyuan.

As soon as the fireball broke away from Jiang Shinian's right hand, Xuanyuan felt a terrifying force lock on him, and it was too late to avoid it. In a hurry, he suddenly remembered that there was a sword technique taught to him by the high priest that could burst out of all his strength, but after using it, there would be a short loss of strength. At that time, the high priest said, don't use it until you have to, and don't use it until you have no worries about the victory. But now it's too late to think about the follow-up, so I can only fight it first.

Xuanyuan gritted his teeth, and the soul power of his whole body flowed into his right arm through the special meridians, his elbow slightly returned to his front body, and his left hand held his right wrist and swung it at the fireball flying towards him. The moment he waved, Xuanyuan felt that the strength and soul power of his whole body had been drained at the same time, and a white sword qi that was not so huge flew out.
