Chapter 170: Heavenly Pass
The Three Passes of the Great Wilderness refer to the three dangerous passes that separate the Cangzhou of the Dynasty from the Youzhou of the Demon Clan. From south to north are Longwei Pass, Yantie Pass, and Tianding Pass. The three passes are located in the Shoushan Mountain Range, and the walls of each pass are intercepted and built at the mouth of the high valley. The cliffs on both sides of Tianding Pass are even more like heavenly slashing giant swords that penetrate vertically into the ground, and ordinary people can't climb over them at all. The city wall is built with the most famous red jade boulder in Yanzhou, which is tightly seamless, solid as gold.
Twenty miles north of Tianding Pass, a purple light rose to the sky, like a canopy hanging from the sky, and the light was full of light. There are nine huge stone statues standing among them, all of them sitting on the ground with their eyes closed, their hands folded on the dantian. The nine-toothed heavenly wheels behind each of them emitted a dazzling golden light, which was particularly obvious in the dark purple sword qi. It is the nine stone statues of the immovable king.
This Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Array was originally established when Mu Duanchao Sword locked Youzhou, and it has been a hundred years now. Within a radius of a hundred miles, the places touched by the dark purple aura were all within the scope of this sword array. The sword qi in its array is like a star shuttle, like a ghost coming and going. It is Mu Xuanchao's famous stunt, Ruoyuan Sword Tribulation and Demon Sword Qi.
All demons will die when they enter the battle, and the sword qi is vast, sweeping away the demons without mercy. This made the demons frightened by this, and they didn't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.
The Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Array is certainly domineering, and the formation is a world of its own, making it extremely mysterious for the sword qi to travel back and forth in the array. But after a long time, the formation element will inevitably be consumed, and in addition, there have been countless new exercises and mysteries emerging in an endless stream in the past hundred years, and the power of the original Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Array only exists in the tradition, if the demon clan attacks with all its might, the Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Formation is afraid that it will not be able to stop its footsteps.
Mu Duanchao and Chu Qingxian knew that this was powerful, so they rushed to the Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Array in the starry night to bless it.
And at this moment, there are Yan Yuan and He Huaifeng outside the Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Array, and in addition to the nine statues of the King of Immovable Ming in the array, there is also a statue of the Sword King, and there are two blue and white rays of light flickering on the left and right, which can only be seen clearly when they are close, and the old man in the green shirt on the left has a jade flute tied around his waist, with pine branches and hair, a pale face and a bright head, and a fairy wind of Dao bones. The white-clothed old man on the right was carrying a giant sword, and the reddish-brown sword seemed to have blood veins flowing on it, revealing a burst of simple and solemn intent. Look at the face of this old man with a sword, there are no wrinkles, his eyes are bright, his black hair is like ink, he is young and chic, and his bearing is extraordinary. These two people are the sword saint Chu Qingxian and the old master of the Mu family, Mu Bufan.
Chu Qingxian glanced around, lowered his head and stroked the jade flute and said slowly: "Senior brother, the inner yuan sealed in the nine statues of this sword array has been exhausted, and I am afraid that the oil is about to run out." Rather than you and I forcibly pouring internal force into it and maintaining the sword array for a while, it is better to work together to set up a Three Saints Demon Destroying Array from the side to ensure that there is no danger here. ”
A gust of demonic wind blowing from Youzhou blew a few leaves from the sky above the sword array, Mu Bufan raised his eyes, only to see that the leaves contaminated with demonic qi were instantly swallowed by the sword light, and the dark purple sword qi swept through like a shower of rain slashed across everyone's eyes.
Mu Bufan exhaled lightly and shook his head: "The Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Array can still be so strong after a hundred years, and its construction is rigorous, which can be described as seamless. In my opinion, there is no need to replace. ”
"But in a hundred years, I'm afraid that this array has already been thoroughly studied by the Youzhou Demon Clan, wouldn't you and I waste a lot of energy at that time?" he said and looked at Shao Zhengyang, who was hiding in the statue of the Sword King, and his intention was to ask him to share his opinion on this matter.
Shao Zhengyang is too low compared with the two, so he didn't say a word on the side. But seeing Chu Qingxian looking at him, he slowly said his thoughts: "I'm afraid there won't be enough time to set up the Three Saints Demon Extermination Array now, and although the Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Array looks old, the power is still there after all." Therefore, my generation thinks that it is better for the ancestors to strengthen the Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Formation first, and resist it for a while. It is not too late to find out the movements of the demons, repel the demon army, and start building a new formation. ”
The two of them both nodded and said yes, but they felt that what Shao Zhengyang said was reasonable.
Chu Qingxian stretched out one finger, and countless streams of firefly phantom light flew and entwined around his fingertips. These sparkling rays of light finally converge in one place to form an intense glow. And as his fingers bent, the light detached from his fingertips and hung smoothly in the air.
Mu Bufan nodded slightly, and then Chu Qingxian launched a single palm, and the light instantly split into nine, which were injected into the nine stone statues of the Immovable Ming King. The Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Array suddenly shone brightly, all the stone statues opened their eyes, and the nine-toothed heavenly wheel behind them broke away from the stone statues and began to rotate regularly around their respective stone statues.
Mu Bufan pulled out the giant sword behind his back with one hand, drew an inverted arc in mid-air and slammed it into the ground.
The earth began to tear apart from the position of the sword body in all directions, and countless intense red lights burst out from the cracks in the ground, extremely dazzling. The nine stone statues were illuminated by red light, and the skin of the stone body was shattered and dissipated, revealing the original golden body. Its hands and feet stretched out even more, and they stood up with a bang, their hands sealed, and their eyes bowed.
Originally, the chaotic sky was not opened, and the dark cloud sky was instantly broken by the purple qi rushing out of the array, and there were beams of sky light shining down in the gaps, which made people feel warm. And the dark clouds also slowly rotated with the purple qi in the array, looking from afar, mysterious and shocking.
At this moment, on the wall of Tiandingguan, the defenders are witnessing this rare wonder in a hundred years.
There were scouts hurrying back from the front and hurrying up the city walls. At this moment, Yang Yi is in the army's big tent, not here. The commander of the city guard took the letter, saw that the cold paint of the letter was engraved with the word urgent, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he only glanced at both sides, and ordered the soldiers on his side to continue to pay attention to the movement in the direction of the Nine Shadows Sealing Demon Sword Array, and he went down to the city tower and sent the letter to the big tent where Yang Yi was.
Yang Yi was discussing the battle with the adjutant in the tent at the moment, and when he saw that the commander of the brigade guarding the city had opened the tent and came in before he could pass the ceremony, he hurriedly stopped the topic and frowned and asked, "But what news is coming from ahead?"
The brigade commander handed the letter to Yang Yi and replied, "The person who delivered the letter is in a hurry, it should be a major matter ahead. ”
Yang Yi and the adjutant glanced at each other, broke the lacquer, and unfolded the letter paper for a quick scan.
Seeing that his expression was getting more and more ugly, the adjutant beside him hurriedly asked softly, "General, what is the letter about?"
Yang Yi forwarded the letter to the adjutant, closed his eyes and sighed: "It's a letter from a spy lurking in Rover City." He said in the letter that the follow-up army of the demon clan had already driven out of Rover City, but the goal was not to set the pass in my heaven, but to divide the troops and march to the east and west. ”
"East and West?" both of them were shocked when they heard this, but they didn't know what the intentions of the demon army were.
Yang Yi also shook his head and said: "The follow-up army of the demon clan did not converge with the former army that arrived in Shuozhou, which shows that the goal is not only my Tiandingguan. It is rumored that the Linggang in the east of Youzhou has been training a naval army, and although the polar region of Iceland in the west is very bitter cold and difficult to march, it is not impossible to break through. Among the three generals who came to support our Tiandingguan this time, Jin Yang and Han Chang were guarding Binghe Gorge and Ningpu Port. If the Demon Clan's front army is feinting in Shuozhou, then Binghe Gorge and Ningpu Port are their targets!"
"I see, if it weren't for the general's reminder, the two of us would still be kept in the dark!" The adjutant and brigade commander all nodded yes after listening to what Yang Yi said.
At this moment, there was a sudden rebuke from outside the tent: "Who are you! How dare you break into our army's tent?"
Before the words fell, they heard the sound of weapons falling, and the three people in the tent hurriedly pulled out the long sword at their waists, and saw a person rushing open the tent, and his feet fell to the ground half on his knees, and he bowed: "In Mu Yuncheng, Longxiang Mufu, Xiayunzhou, there is an urgent military report!"
