Chapter 55: The Beginning of the War
At the right time, Ruzhou City, South Gate.
In the sky, a light rain drifted down. The figure of two teenagers, a man and a woman, appeared at the city gate, the young man was dressed in a green shirt, his body was thin, and his hair was pulled up at will; the girl was wearing a decent white satin-cut beard, embroidered with peonies, the bun was loose and loose, and the lead was lightly made up, adding a bit of fresh color to this impetuous summer. The two held oil-paper umbrellas, held hands, and slowly walked on the wet road. The ancient stone road, full of the precipitation of the years, carries countless joys and sorrows, and deep dents, witnessing the changes of history. The crevices of the dog's teeth are covered with moss, which makes this ancient road more and more profound.
The two of them walked out of the city gate, walked all the way to the stone bridge of the moat, stopped and looked into the distance, and waited quietly. The city gate, which used to be extremely noisy, is extremely quiet today, and even makes people feel a chill in the quiet, and the whole air is filled with a solemnity like late autumn, only the occasional cicada singing frog in the distance is still reminding people that it is midsummer at this time.
On the city walls, there was a crowd of people. There are soldiers guarding the city, there are many warriors, and there are many secret agents, and at this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on the two teenagers. On the tower in the middle of the city gate, a graceful and dignified woman in palace clothes, looking at the railing, staring into the distance, it was Shangguan Wanqing. Standing beside her was a warrior dressed as a general in Mingguang armor, who was Li Sizhong, the guard general here.
"It's almost here, and it's already past the Ten Mile Pavilion. This matter has alarmed the imperial court, and General Zuo Weiwei has passed down the general order, strictly ordering me not to interfere in this matter, this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. Li Sizhong said to Shangguan Wanqing, his words full of regret.
"Brother Li, you have helped me a lot, Wanqing is grateful. You have a duty to do it, so you don't have to say anything superfluous, I totally understand that. Shangguan Wanqing said calmly. Li Sizhong didn't speak again, and only silently stayed by Shangguan Wanqing's side.
The rain, the more it falls, the sweeter it gets, and there is no intention of stopping.
"What do you want?" Yue'er asked curiously when she saw that there was a slight smile on the corner of Liangchen's mouth.
"Your birthday is coming soon, I'm wondering what to give as a gift?" said Liangchen with a smile.
"You, are you really not worried at all?" The war is imminent, and Yue'er is very puzzled by Liangchen's cranky thoughts at this time.
"I only care about what I should do, not about the possible outcome. If you can't fight, just surrender!" said Liangchen with a grin.
Yue'er: "••••••" She thought that Liangchen would say something bold to show her manhood, but she didn't expect that Liangchen would be this kind of virtue at this time, and Yue'er was also a little speechless by Liangchen's ruffianism, and gave him a deep look.
In the distance, several black dots gradually appeared in everyone's sight. The black dots are getting bigger and bigger, and they are vaguely discernible as human outlines, about dozens of them, all of them riding fast horses and clustering around a few carriages, galloping towards the city gate.
"Obedient, wait for me here, I'll talk to them. When the horse team was a hundred feet away from the two, Liangchen explained to Yue'er.
"Watch out for yourself, and remember what I said before. Yue'er said solemnly, she knew that Liangchen's personality was a bit extreme, and she was afraid that he would really lose his life for this.
Liangchen shook his head with a smile, took a step, walked to the end of the bridge and stood still, took out the Qingyun Sword Box, and put it erected beside him, and what was hidden in the box was the eighteen Dao swords.
The powerhouses of the Wuji Pavilion had already seen Liangchen from afar, but the speed of the horse team did not slow down at all, and they did not take Liangchen in their eyes. These people have the lowest cultivation, and they are also masters of the Spirit Realm, and this horse team composed of them does have the capital to run rampant.
When the distance between the two sides was dozens of zhang, a Dao sword shot into the horse team like lightning, and the strong man in the cave realm at the head was pierced by this sudden flying sword, and he never dreamed that he would die in such a daze under the sword of this seemingly harmless young man. The power of the flying sword was not extinguished, and the strong man who was stabbed quickly flew backwards, and crashed into the body of a strong man of the Spirit Realm behind him, and the two strong men were pierced, stringed together like a sugar gourd, and smashed on the body of the third strong man, smashing it off the horse, before exhausting the remaining momentum. At this point, the horse team finally stopped advancing.
"Boy, the person who dares to kill my Wuji Pavilion, you are tired of it. Who are you? "Capture the thief and capture the king first, scold the person first scold the mother, another strong man in the realm of the cave master of Wuji Pavilion pointed at Liangchen and scolded, and the rest of the strong people also stared at Liangchen with fierce eyes, just waiting for the order to attack.
The powerhouse of Wuji Pavilion did not wait for Liangchen's answer, what he was waiting for was another flying sword, which was faster and more powerful than the first one, with a piercing roar, and attacked directly, and the target was the strong man who shouted. The strong man was already on guard, and hurriedly adjusted his spiritual power and took out his blade to block. But what he didn't expect was that this sword directly shattered its blade, instantly breaking through its spiritual defense, and still piercing it, killing it head-on. Several strong men behind him worked together to block the attack of the flying sword.
"This fucking madman, brothers, go up together and slaughter this kid. The last remaining Cave Master Realm powerhouse hurriedly shouted. This time, there were three cave realm masters who led the team, and before they had time to show their skills, they were reimbursed by Liangchen for two. Many Spirit Realm masters are not stupid, even the Cave Realm was seconded as soon as they came up, and this idea in front of them was a little surprisingly hard. Everyone cowered, and no one dared to attack first.
Above the city walls.
"This kid is a monster, it's too strong••••••" Seeing Liangchen kill the two cave realms in seconds, everyone on the city wall exclaimed, this kind of leapfrogging instant kill is unheard of. "Wuji Pavilion is arrogant and infamous, this time it can be regarded as a kick to the iron plate••••••" "I heard that this person is the top of the list this time, and he really lives up to his reputation••••••"
"It seems that your friend does have some strength. But this character is too extreme, ordinary people don't agree with each other before they do it, this guy didn't even say a word, he came up to kill, leaving no room for maneuver. Li Sizhong was shocked by Liangchen's cruel methods.
"Liangchen does things, he has his own reasons, he is not a cruel and indiscriminate killer. Everything he does, it's for his ends. "Shangguan Wanqing is intelligent, knows Liangchen very well, and trusts him very much.
"It's no wonder that the general gave a death order and strictly ordered us not to interfere, and I think we got some information. Li Sizhong said thoughtfully, most of the people who led the troops were insidious and cunning, and they were all human spirits among the human spirits, and there was more than one pair of eyes on the back of their heads.
Corner towers of the city walls.
"It seems that we still underestimated this kid, if he really wanted to take your life that day, I guess he would have done it a long time ago. This person sees the situation very thoroughly, what to do and what not to do, and he is very accurate, and he is a talent. After seeing Liangchen's ruthless methods with his own eyes, Shangguan Zhi praised from the bottom of his heart.
"You overestimate this kid a little, this person's strength is indeed very strong, but he acts like this, leaving no room for embarrassment. Shangguan Hu replied respectfully.
"He's helping us make choices. Shangguan Zhi said with a smile.
"My subordinates admit that this kid's strength is indeed stronger than mine, but my subordinates think that Hu Dana is a master of the Ming Realm, and it is definitely not something that he can deal with as a Spirit Realm. In Shangguan Hu's cognition, the possibility of crossing the two-level challenge does not exist.
"Whether you can or can't will soon know. If I were Dana Hu, I would have taken action myself at this time, and I wouldn't have to add these dozens of lives in vain. The balance in Shangguan Zhi's heart is slowly tilting, and interests are what he is ultimately pursuing.
"What do you mean is that he will kill all these people in the Wuji Pavilion? Will this be detrimental to my Shangguan family? After all, this kid has the backing of the Qingyun Sect, and the Wuji Pavilion will easily and never start a war with the Qingyun Sect. Shangguan Hu was extremely shocked by the words of the head of the family, he really couldn't believe that Liangchen would be so ruthless. Although the Shangguan family is one of the eight great families, compared to the two behemoths of Qingyun Sect and Wuji Pavilion, it is a piece of cake, and neither end dares to offend.
"As long as Hu Dana doesn't die, we won't be in trouble, and when it matters, I will take action. Shangguan Zhi analyzed, and he looked confident.
"The head of the family is far-sighted, and his subordinates are very respectful••••••" Shangguan Hu patted his ass loudly, and was stopped by Shangguan Zhi waving his hand, he is a practical person, and he laughs at the high-sounding flattery.
On the battlefield.
"Fearless, die. Give it all to me, hang him alone, and one person and one knife can chop him up. The Cave Realm powerhouse shouted loudly. The pawn is more afraid of the enemy than the enemy, and the enemy is more afraid of the enemy than the general's defeat, and it was popular at that time to behead the team, which was very cruel. Although everyone was afraid of the young man in front of them, they were even more afraid of the order, they looked at each other, their hearts were horizontal, they scattered the formation, occupied all directions, each looked for an angle, and slashed towards Liangchen with a knife, and at the same time, the secret weapon of the occult kept beckoning to Liangchen.
Dozens of Spirit Realm cultivators shot at the same time to deal with one person, what a spectacular scene, in the eyes of everyone on the city wall, Liangchen was the first to take the opportunity to take it by surprise, so that he had the opportunity to kill the two Cave Realm in seconds, and now there will be no more opportunities for such tricks, it will definitely not last long, it will be slaughtered by the powerhouses of Wuji Pavilion. This kind of scene has been seen by Liangchen when he was on the Celestial List, and more than once. Although these cultivators are all old rivers and lakes who are used to licking blood with knives, they are still a little worse than those geniuses in the battle for the Supernatural List. Now that you have seen the majesty of the sea, how can you fear the slightest wave in a small river?
Liangchen took the overlord double gong in his hand, absorbing the experience of being kited in the previous battle against the law enforcement team, these people are very scattered, and they must try to lead them into a group, so that they can be wiped out with lightning speed. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, Liangchen did not show his true strength, but only frequently dodged the opponent's attacks and passively blocked the defense. Seeing this, many strong people only regarded it as the power of the mystical skills made by Liangchen before, and their own strength was not against the sky, and they became more and more high-spirited, and gradually they didn't care much about the position, and they swarmed after Liangchen to slash.
The battle seemed to turn into a one-sided crush.
