Chapter 496: Smallness and Powerlessness
The night wind is fierce.
At the foot of the black mountain was full of tragic firelight, in the little bit of bright and extinguished mango, one by one or excited, or calm, or cold figures reflected in Jiang Feng's eyes, he couldn't help but take a sharp breath of cold air, looked left and right, the rapid breathing of all his subordinates, the sound was in the ears, or deep, or immature, and there was heroism in the shallowness, even the cool night wind could not blow away.
Unemployed, ignorant and fearful chicks.
The finch that has been soaked in time for a long time, but has not been baptized by wind and rain.
At this moment, in the cold wind tonight, on this lonely and lonely, but surrounded by such a noisy little Batu Mountain, we are facing the storm that suddenly swept up here but must approachβ
and torrenting.
If the melee outside Gujing City is called a rehearsal, and the fierce battle outside Renshou City is called the midfield, then today may be called the end or the end, in an instant, thousands of miscellaneous thoughts, along with all kinds of memories of the past, are mixed together in Jiang Feng's restless sea of knowledge, and even thwart the initial powerlessness, making his heart suddenly condense into ice, and he can't help but gush out infinite pride.
If you want to fight, come and fight!
He raised his arms and shouted, and then he caught a glimpse of the monks under him, slaughtering the crumbling and collapsing array, and the splendor of the light was sprinkled, and the figures were swift and fluttering, and they quickly rushed into a ball with the monks who were like a storm and a thousand sharp arrows.
Wonderful words!
Jiang Feng immediately turned on his most proud means of support, but saw that the figures near him were all wrapped in wisps of ghostly light, which was not only the effect of being blessed by the power of the elixir, but also contained the miraculous effect of the "Shenyi Pill", although the strength was still insufficient compared to the other party, but at the moment of contact, it carried the power of the opponent's vanguard, so that the front would not collapse at the touch of a button.
It's time to expose all the means, and even if I keep my secret, what's the point of being here alone?
Jiang Feng rushed into the battle group head-on, quickly looking for an opponent who was similar to his own cultivation, but everything around him suddenly dissipated into nothingness, and what remained in front of him was a lonely and boundless black lake. All the hustle and bustle, all the brilliance, were captured and absorbed by that quiet existence, and there was no trace of it.
What's going on?
Is it the means of the Yuanying monk Gongye Kai?
Jiang Feng looked around, but saw that the top of the mountain where he was originally standing suddenly had a narrow, up and down passage that only allowed a maximum of two people to pass through, and reached the lake that was as quiet as the cold night sky.
The suspension bridge only trembled slightly, and it seemed that Jiang Feng's weight was insignificant.
The people in the sect were still waiting for me to escape from this illusion, Jiang Feng quickly came to his senses, and his spiritual power involuntarily rushed towards the magic weapon in his hand, which was the "White Jade Flying Needle", but the spiritual power seemed to be off the line, and there was no trace of it, and when I looked at it again, the magic weapon on my body had disappeared.
Casting it again, all the spiritual power dissipated, Jiang Feng couldn't help but pinch himself, and found that his originally elastic skin was becoming stiff and gray, like a withered branch over the years. He quickly stopped trying, and his mind was flustered, but he had to keep going, secretly thinking that the secret might be above the lake.
The lake has no ripples, and it is dead and silent.
Jiang Feng leaned over and picked up a handful of seemingly clear lake water, but the lake water did not show a trace, like dry quicksand, turning into black pearl-like droplets, falling little by little, but there was no sound, and there was no ripple.
Where is this, how can this lake be so strange?
He couldn't help but look around, looking around, but saw that in the gray sky, where the lake meets the ground, there seems to be an island, but it is like a gray reef, and the horizon that is also lightless, there is a place that seems to be like a city.
It's a pity that there is no ferry here, otherwise you would have been able to go there.
He thought so, but saw that countless bubbles suddenly appeared in the lake, and a figure quickly emerged from the lake, and when he looked at it again, it was a familiar appearance.
"Keyi?"
Jiang Feng easily recognized the familiar face of the Yi people, and every time in the middle of the night, he also recalled the old days of the two of them, and lamented in vain that they had not been rescued, which made the Yi people regret.
"Master!"
With his hands together, Jiang Feng was about to hug him, but he felt that the originally quiet lake water suddenly surged up a rapid current, rushing towards him like a tide, and he was about to subconsciously retreat, but Zheng Keyi suddenly let go of his hand and pushed Jiang Feng away from the lake.
"You shouldn't be here!
"This ......" The black lake water still didn't pass the surface of his feet, although there was no pain of dissolving, Jiang Feng felt as if he was about to merge with this pool of lake water, becoming an indispensable but ordinary part of it, and countless resentments, joys, or arias, or sinking thoughts in his mind quickly merged into the sea of knowledge, entangled, trying to tear Jiang Feng's original memories and make him silent in the years.
At this time, Jiang Feng suddenly swelled up in the sea, scattering all the chaotic and disorderly existences, his eyes suddenly became clear and dust-free, and he subconsciously took a step back and returned to the suspension bridge that connected with the lake.
"You can't come here, you have to live, this is Huangquanhai!"
Zheng Keyi's hurried voice came, and the familiar figure was immediately swallowed up by the whirlpool that suddenly surged from nowhere. Jiang Feng was startled, and touched his cheek again, but there was no cold sweat.
I'm in a dream!
Jiang Feng quickly made a decision, so everything in front of him quickly rotated, collapsed, and dissipated with his epiphany, revealing its original face. The cool breeze of dawn was dancing wildly, bringing countless bloody and filthy gases, and the barbaric hillside in front of him was full of corpses, horizontal and vertical, and the vitality was gone, and without looking closely, he caught a glimpse of some familiar figures, the old voices, smiles, or restraints, all vividly.
Scold!
Are they all dead?Jiang Feng flew forward, wanting to do his last bit of effort, but suddenly felt several breaths locking him, and he couldn't help but look back, but he saw two familiar figures.
"Jia'er?"
He almost didn't dare to be sure, and even thought that he was still in a dream, and when he saw the two figures behind him, he was originally slightly happy, but he couldn't help but tense, it was Yan Shujia's mother Chu Mingxin, and his master Qi Zhengfeng.
"Is it a big deal?"
"It's fine. Jiang Feng reluctantly replied, seeing the beauty, a wisp of joy, but it was difficult to resist the sadness of the loss of the sect, just as Yang Qingze had warned himself at that time, but now, it has really become a reality,
Loner!
Even if the Asa Mountain Sect is not lost, with those dozens of monks who can only engage in general affairs, how many days can it last?
"He's not the head of the house anymore, and he's not worthy of you. But he heard Chu Mingxin take a step forward and pull away Yan Shujia, who was originally leaning up, "After this battle, the Asshan Sect will not survive for three months. β
"Mother!"
"He promised me to quench the golden pill into more than three grades, do you see that he has a little effort?"
"I ......"
"What I am, I guess all my thoughts are spent on the vixen, Jia'er, don't be deceived by this kid. β
"Jia'er, you have to believe me!" Jiang Feng felt sad in his heart, and was about to rush forward, but he was stopped by Qi Zhengfeng in the oblique thorn, "Boy, don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, let's do a casual cultivation with peace of mind!"
"No, no matter what, I want to be with Jiang Feng!"
Hearing Yan Shujia's sudden expression, Jiang Feng hurriedly struggled to bypass Qi Zhengfeng, who was bad for his own good deeds, and met Yan Shujia, although he lost the sect, but Jia'er still had to be with him, he couldn't give up this emotion, but it was a wisp of coolness to start, and when he looked at it again, how could there be any Jia'er, he leaned over and looked, except for the corpses everywhere, there was no half of a figure.
"Why did you choose the Xiao family in the first place?"
In the air, he suddenly heard a voice sound, and when he looked back, it was Xiao Mingzhen, but he saw her skirt fluttering, revealing an intoxicating graceful figure, "I am sincere to you, but I can't get you to give up, or even a little promise." Now that you have lost everything, without the Xiao family to help you find the support of the Li Sect, you will end up in today's situation, do you regret it?"
"I just don't dare, I'm afraid it's unbearable. Jiang Feng sighed slightly, he had already realized that this was still in a dream, since it was a dream, let's resolve this knot in a dream.
"Gutsless!"
Jiang Feng didn't care about the reprimand of the Yi people, took a few steps forward, and grabbed Xiao Mingzhen, "You know my intentions, but my cultivation is too poor, I'm afraid I can't protect you thoroughly." β
"Hypocrisy! Then what do they do? You can't protect everything?" Xiao Mingzhen broke free from Jiang Feng and pointed behind Jiang Feng.
But behind him, three women were stopping and watching, it was Su Jin, Qiu Zhenzhen and Mu Qingchuan.
Jiang Feng woke up in shock.
He felt as if he was missing a right hand, and on his left leg, there should be more than one penetrating wound, and although the medicine had been applied indiscriminately, the granulation grew extremely slowly, which was a sign of poor medicine.
A slightly warm hand was groping around in his robe, as if he had not been able to find the point for a long time. He quickly cleared his throat and tried to make a little sound, but a lot of blood bubbles poured in, and only an urn sound came out.
However, the hand trembled, and the figure quickly fled, kneeling in front of him.
"Fu ...... I ......"
The figure hurriedly stepped forward, and Jiang Feng smelled blood, with a hint of fragrance. He felt his head pillow against something, and only then did he catch a glimpse of the other in the dim light.
It's Chen Qingluo.
Although there was not much blood on her face, and there were still mottled blood marks between her hair, Jiang Feng still recognized this young female cultivator as one of the eight spiritual-level monks brought by his wife Su Jin's marriage, and the only one among the eight monks who traveled south to participate in the war.
"Why...... Here?"
"It was Elder Wei who asked me to come, he said......" The figure trembled a little, as if it was afraid of something.
"Say...... What?"
"Say that while the boss is not dead, give it to you...... Leave it for later. β
"Nonsense!" Jiang Feng was furious, a mouthful of blood almost choked, but his chaotic thoughts cleared up a little, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the immature face and stare for a moment.
"Actually...... It was Laizi Wu Tiande's idea. I ......" The voice grew lower and lower.
"Stand down...... Tell them...... I woke up. β
Exhaled a breath of death that had been held for a long time, Jiang Feng finally broke free from the haze in his heart, and completely woke up from the nightmare, he finally remembered all the details of the war, including the old things of his own urging Gu Bao, regardless of life and death, and frustrating two Jin Dan of the same level in a row, Gongye Kai, who was watching, went down in person, wanting to kill himself, but was blocked by Qingdao Zi, who intercepted as promised, and failed to do so, and Lu Zhongxian stopped the powerful red-haired Jin Dan, so that his party was able to escape from the gap in the northwest direction, but the loss was not small.
Xuan-level monks Wang Xiandao and Wei Chengyu fell, spiritual-level monks Nie Xiaofan, Wang Chengzhi, Wang Yi, and Meng Kun died, and countless people were seriously injured.
Call!
The muscles and veins are broken, and it may take some time to recover, Chen Qingluo retreated, and after a while, he saw Wei Ruoguang, who had a haggard face, staggering in to greet him.
"Do you have ...... What's the problem?"
"It doesn't matter, with the help of the senior invited by the head of Lai, I broke free from the demon and rushed to the battle, and the six-grade golden pill fell to the fourth-grade, but it was not a big deal. Although the realm is vague and unstable, it should be relatively stable. β
"Where?" Jiang Feng barely snapped a finger.
"Yu Mang Meadow. This is the arrangement that Shen Lang and others accidentally discovered when they were exploring the path, the head of the sect, you urged the spiritual power to be too strong, and the strength was exhausted to the point of coma, and the Elder Xiandao fell, so I made my own decision and led everyone here. There is a temporary shield here, although it is not tough, but a few remnants of the enemy can still deal with it, but the state of the crowd is ......"
"I understand. Hurry up and ask for ...... Dou Jinqiu. β
Now that the injury is inflicted, I am afraid that only Dou Jinqiu can be treated quickly, including the monks in the sect, must recover as soon as possible, otherwise this remnant army, if it is hunted down and killed again, the sect is afraid that there is no future at all.
"There is no need to worry about the head of the family, the people of Lizong have already arrived. β
"Lizong?"
When this time comes, I'm afraid there is something else, the corners of Jiang Feng's mouth wrinkled slightly, but he could only snort, and he was silent for a long time, dismissing the feeling of powerlessness in his heart, and then only said:
"Who is it?"
"Originally, it was the people of the Xiao family, they helped when they broke through, and just now, the people of the Bai family also arrived. β
............
Qing Yuzong, the eastern front, and the entanglement with Tianluomen continued.
Although there were victories and defeats with each other, each time it was a small-scale contact, which made every monk on the Eastern Front very anxious, including the heads of the three sects, Su Liqing, Zuo Zichan and Zheng Jiasheng.
However, on this day, Wan Yuting suddenly summoned everyone.
"At dawn tomorrow, the whole army will attack, travel a hundred miles, and behead all the enemies. β
"Alliance leader, what about Liu Shizhou?" Ding Luojin in the crowd asked loudly, he was another Jin Dan of the Biyun Sect, and the repeated retreats had already worn out his initial sharpness.
"Don't worry, if he goes out I will fight him, and if he dares to fight, I will let him go and not return, but if he does not come out, you can advance the line two hundred miles, but you must avoid plunder. β
How to boost morale, more than one person in the crowd looked suspicious, but they heard Chen Kun say loudly: "All the territories obtained from this battle will be incorporated into the alliance for all monarchs to share." β
I see.
It seems that the alliance leader has a chance of winning against Liu Shizhou, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, without saying a word, only Su Liqing said: "The situation on the western front seems to be anxious, which does not match what I expected before, I don't know what the alliance leader has planned?"
"The success or failure of the Western Front is also decided tonight, so there is no need to worry. From now on, all arrangements on the eastern front will be made by Su Zhangmen. β
The expected unison did not appear, but Wan Yuting didn't care, and only waited for everyone to retreat before he played the soundproofing note, "Find a way to let that Song Zixun escape, remember to let her take away the magic weapon of Gongye Kai." β
"This ......" Su Liqing had already booked the magic weapon "Tianwai Qiluo" that could hide the monks in his heart, and Wan Yuting explained this, which made him very unhappy.
"It's a matter of success or failure. If the Golden Light Pavilion does not retreat, our chances of victory on the Western Front will not be great. The reason why we worked hard and deliberately entangled with Tianluomen on the eastern front was not to believe the information brought by Jiang Feng, but to wait for the main force of Jinguang Pavilion to reach the front line, sit on Tianyin Temple's ambition to betray the three sects of Wei, and then completely defeat the Tianyin Temple that betrayed and separated from their relatives. And took advantage of the situation when Tianluomen was isolated and helpless, and was afraid that the Qi State would not dare to exert its full strength, so he just took more territory. I think Master Su should understand this truth. β
"What about Liu Shizhou?" Tianyin Temple's ambition Su Liqing didn't know, Jiang Feng didn't say this at the beginning, but he had already known it from other sources yesterday, which also made him a little jealous, thinking that as a disciple of the ninth old man Xu Funing, Jiang Feng knew it early on.
"With the deterrence of the Qi State, Liu Shizhou will definitely stick to it this time. So, the affairs of the Eastern Front will be left to you. Now that I'm here, I think Liu Tingjian should have some explanations, right?"
"Yes, but not much. β
Su Liqing didn't expect Wan Yuting to be able to understand everything, although he had some secret contact with Liu Tingjian's envoy yesterday, but in addition to knowing some secrets of Tianyin Temple, he didn't get a new order, of course, this means that the original plan of "promoting the Jincheng League to the south" has not changed.
Since Wan Yuting handed over the command of the Eastern Front to himself, it means that he handed over the initiative to Liu Tingjian, who was behind him. Looks like it's time to use the hidden power in your hands.
Of course, this also shows that Song Xianghong, who is behind Wan Yuting, has reached an agreement with Liu Tingjian. Su Liqing stood silently in the tent for a long time, and only after Wan Yuting and Chen Kun left, did he withdraw from the military tent gloomily.
Alas!
I'm just a pawn at best.
Although this was not the first time, it still made him breathe a little hard, but he immediately abandoned the resentment in his heart and began to think about what the Kaneshiro faction would gain from it if the Eastern Front was victorious, and how to arrange it and how to reduce his own losses.
............
Yu Mang Meadow.
An elderly white-robed monk brought by the Xiao family gave Jiang Feng a simple treatment, which allowed him to finally sit there and face the two envoys of the Li Sect.
To be precise, it is the envoy of the Xiao Bai family.
Although the sleeve of his right arm was empty, Jiang Feng knew that it was only a matter of time before he recovered, and Shen Lang, the monk who went to invite Dou Jinqiu, still set off, this battle had already witnessed his loyalty, and under the pressure of urgency, he was promoted one after another, reaching the eightfold level of qi training, and he was regarded as a monk at the high level of qi training.
"Let's get straight to the point!"
Law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao is dead, and Wei Ruoguang is the only one who can refer to the military aircraft, looking back on the previous things, and considering the impact of Wang Xiandao's death on the Wang family, Jiang Feng called Wang Yanzhi, Qin Xiaokuan, Lu Tianming, and Wu Tiande, who has not yet been promoted, into the account for joint reference.
Immature, not natural, this is a good opportunity.
