Chapter Twenty-Three: Recovering the Rivers and Mountains
Seeing the image of himself reflected in the bright sword body, Miko reluctantly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and looked up at the sky concentratingly, the crescent moon mark in his palm was shining, and he was ready to strike with all his strength at any time.
Above the straight Son of Heaven Sword, someone stood with his hands in his hands, the air flow swept the hem of his clothes, and the long hair behind his back flew lightly.
Behind the man in the robe, there was a woman standing on the left and right of the guard's entourage, the former was petite and ethereal, and the latter was graceful and charming.
Miko's pupils shrank slightly. He felt a heavy oppressive force from the other party. That's not just because the other person is standing high enough.
Such an oppressive force Divine Son had never encountered before, just at a glance, he knew that the other party's cultivation strength was higher than any strong man he had seen before.
Under the backdrop of the two stunning women, the man in the black robe, who was already tall, gave birth to a lot of romantic spirit out of thin air. Shenzi is not an ignorant girl or an empty young woman, but at this moment, he can't help but secretly praise a good young man.
He himself is a peerless handsome man with unparalleled demeanor, not to mention the countless praises he gets on weekdays, but the autumn waves secretly passed to him in the eyes of the warbler and the swallow, and he is also as prosperous as the stars in the sky.
However, at this time, he had to be impressed by the other party's demeanor.
That's definitely not because the other party gave birth to a good skin, the important thing is, of course, temperament - looking forward to self-righteousness and free and easy. One look like an emperor in the world, the second looks like an immortal, the third looks deep like the sea, the fourth looks at the high mountains, and then you can't see it.
Seeing too much is a blow to my self-confidence.
"King An of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ye!" Even if it was the first time they met, Shenzi confirmed the identity of the other party in the blink of an eye. He really couldn't imagine that there was anyone else in the world who could have such a look except for King An, who called for wind and rain in the Tang Dynasty and changed the color of the heavens and the earth.
Shenzi was the first to speak: "The person who came must be Li Ye, the king of An? It is a great pleasure to meet you today. ”
When he spoke, he bowed with Tibetan etiquette, and his movements were impeccable and full of aristocratic demeanor.
He had to speak first, he really didn't want to continue to confront the other party like this. A high position made him very uncomfortable, even uncomfortable, and if he continued to maintain such a state, there would definitely be no good results - he would not be able to help but shoot.
However, he could not act rashly. The other party's sense of danger is as strong as the oppressive force, and he is not sure of victory when he makes a hasty move.
Therefore, he can only speak first and salute first, so as to break the deadlock and then test it.
Li Ye looked down at the Divine Son, and said with a smile: "You are the Divine Son of the Moon God Sect?" Yes, you have a bit of a good temperament. ”
As he spoke, he slowly fell from mid-air, and finally landed his toe on the hilt of Lu Gujian. As his figure settled, Ha Zhan's clothes were smoothed out. He looked Miko up and down, looking very appreciative.
Hearing Li Ye's words, Shenzi's mood was even more difficult. Li Ye's tone and posture are clearly condescending, just like the emperor of a big country facing the envoys of his subjects.
Especially Li Ye's eyes, which made Shenzi extremely unhappy. In Tibet, this is how the warriors look at the beasts. At such times, the warrior always wants the beast to be stronger, so that he can let go and fight more happily.
In the end, of course, it was the warriors who trampled the beast under their feet.
"It is said that the Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, but King An made a sneak attack, which is inevitably a gentleman's style. "Miko tries to keep her demeanor as much as she can. He found it not easy to do so, as if no matter how hard he tried, he was destined to have no match for the other person.
This annoyed him.
In any case, he would not admit that he was jealous of Li Ye and was secretly ashamed.
It was an emotion he had never had. In his previous life, he always stood on the highest place and accepted the worship of everyone, and only others were jealous of him.
He thought that one day he might face an opponent he had never seen before, standing in his way, making it easy for him to defeat at the crucial moment when he was fulfilling his ambitions.
That is the fate of a strong man, it is a mountain that must be crossed to achieve great causes, and if you win, the road ahead will be smooth, and if you lose, you will die.
Miko never doubted that he would defeat that powerful enemy and trample that mountain under his feet. In fact, he had imagined the battle with this opponent countless times, and many times in his mind had the image of himself standing on a high peak and roaring in the sky.
The day came quickly, earlier than expected.
Miko didn't care about that.
The only thing he didn't expect was that before he could engage the opponent in front of him, he lost his normal heart.
"If I'm going to sneak attack, you're not going to have a chance to stand here and talk to me. ”
Li Ye shook his head, denied the statement of the Divine Son, and smiled
He said again: "As for the Tang Dynasty, it is indeed a country of etiquette, but it is also a country of tigers and wolves. Etiquette is internal, and of course our own people salute each other and love each other; tigers and wolves are external, and when dealing with our enemies, we will only strike with thunder, and we will never be soft. ”
Shenzi was stunned, but he didn't expect Li Ye to explain like this, "Han people are tigers and wolves?"
Li Ye smiled brighter and brighter, "If not, how did we get our thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? Could it be that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was achieved by reasoning with foreign countries?"
The truth is true, Shenzi nodded, and said seriously: "I can consider myself a country of tigers and wolves, it seems that King An can still look up to me, and he didn't say some high-sounding words to cover up hypocrisy." ”
This is the way that only smart people can talk to each other, and when dealing with stupid people, smart people have always deceived with righteousness and morality.
Li Ye laughed out loud when he heard this, and laughed very happily.
Miko felt inexplicable.
He could hear the contempt in Li Ye's laughter.
Shenzi frowned and said, "What are you laughing at, am I not right?"
Li Ye smiled and said seriously: "Of course it's not right." I'm not telling you this because I can afford you. ”
Miko held back his anger: "Why is that?"
Li Ye had a joke in his eyes: "Because you and your Tubo people are about to be wiped out by the Tang Dynasty." I am not hesitant to tell the truth to those who are dying. ”
Shenzi's forehead was bulging, and he said word for word: "I want to remind King An, this is Hexi!"
"How's Hexi?"
"The power of the moon god has shrouded this land, here, the combat power of your Tang monks will drop by thirty percent!
"Does the Son of God think that if you are alone, you will be able to win?"
The Son of God was finally furious, his murderous aura erupted, and his clothes and hair danced wildly, "Li Ye! You are too arrogant! Today, this seat will let you know that the Tubo warriors are the strongest warriors in the world!"
Shouting these words, Miko suddenly calmed down, and his heart was no longer angry and irritable.
He suddenly realized that even if his demeanor was not as good as Li Ye's, what should he do? He is a Tibetan warrior, why should a warrior compete with the Tang people? A warrior only needs to defeat his opponent!
Seeing that his body was full of fighting spirit, but his mood suddenly calmed down, Li Ye not only did not have any jealousy, but nodded with satisfaction: "This is a bit of a hero." If not, Lone may not be able to afford you. ”
Since Gao Piao died in battle, Li Maozhen was attached, Wang Jianbing was defeated and shrunk in a corner, and there was no opponent of Li Ye in the Tang Dynasty. Drawing his sword and looking around at the invincible hand, the sword in his hand is useless, and what if it is sharp? When there is no hero, Li Ye has already felt lonely.
Now that he has set foot in Hexi, seeing that Shenzi is a bit heroic, how can Li Ye not be satisfied?
The more the battle intent of the Divine Son boiled, the more peaceful his mind became, "Nonsense, don't mention it, fight first!"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly roared, threw his arms forward, and the crescent moon in his hand spun and flew out.
The new moon is not two, but one after the other, and each round is bigger than the other.
Every time the crescent moon flew out, a ravine as deep as a foot deep appeared on the ground! With countless crescent moons attacking Li Ye with various trajectories, like sparks flying indiscriminately, the ground was full of ravines and ravines beyond recognition!
There are ravines, but there is no smoke and dust.
Just because the smoke and dust can't rise, it will be annihilated in the aura!
Su Emei, who was supported by Shao Si's life, was shocked when she saw this, and her surprise was beyond words. Although she was surprised, she had not lost her temper, and the expressions of the True Human Realm cultivators around her changed drastically, and they exclaimed in surprise.
Shenzi's offensive at this time was even stronger than when he fought against Su Emei!
If it is said that against Su Emei, the Divine Son is doing his best, then at this time, he has exerted twelve percent of his strength!
Realizing this, everyone couldn't help but be terrified and worried about the situation that followed.
Li Ye's eyes lit up, and the color of satisfaction in his eyes was even stronger. With a wave of his long sleeves, he signaled the eldest young master to retreat with Su Emei, and he rose from the ground, like a wild goose in the air. I didn't see him make any movements, and Lu Gujian, which was inserted into the ground under his feet, let out a high-pitched and loud dragon groan, and flew up from the ground on its own.
To be exact, it was not Lu Gujian who flew up, but a cyan dragon.
At the same time, Li Ye made a big move, and an invisible and massless huge round mirror appeared in front of the green dragon.
Celestial Realm.
The green dragon jumped out of the heavenly realm, and it was already incarnated into thousands of people, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the scene was ten thousand dragons going to sea, but it was much smaller.
When Wanlong greeted the countless crescent moons, between heaven and earth, they once again fell into the extremely bright aura light, and the whole world seemed to sink in white light.
In the eyes of the True Human Realm cultivators who were far away, the battlefield within a radius of more than a thousand zhang was gone, and there was only the ultimate light.
This time, the True Realm monks were finally able to confirm that the battle lasted only for a moment, and all the light burst like soap bubbles.
It's not that the momentum is not big or long, but the attacks of both of them broke out in an instant. Every green dragon and every crescent moon, even if the direction is different, is extremely fast, almost colliding at the same time.
The monks looked at each other, and many shivered.
Such a Qinglong and Crescent Moon offensive, if they face it, Mo said that they will deal with it one by one, and they will not even have the space time to dodge.
After the light dissipated, the ground was empty within a radius of more than 1,000 zhang.
It's not that there's nothing, it's that even the land is gone.
There is only a bottomless pit.
Li Ye stood on the edge of the pit with his hands in his hands, and his demeanor was still the same. Lu Gujian was already in his hand, as steady as a rock.
At his feet, there was a puddle of blood.
It was the blood of the Son of God.
As for the Son of God, he is no longer present.
The True Realm monks were once again confused, not knowing what the outcome of the battle would be.
At this moment, in front of the world, they can fly to the sky and escape to the earth, powerful as the masters of the gods, and they find themselves weak like ants. It's also a battle in the real realm, they don't say anything about meddling, and they can't even understand it.
Only Su Emei and Da Shao Si Ming caught the god son who ran away quickly with his bloody shoulders and disappeared in the sky in the moment when the light dissipated.
The son of God who fled for his life in a panic didn't even have time to drop a tough word.
Looking at the direction in which Shenzi disappeared, Li Ye sighed leisurely, put away Lu Gujian, and flew to Su Emei to check her injuries.
"Why don't you chase?" Su Emei asked with concern first.
The eldest young man looked at Li Ye, obviously having the same question.
Li Ye shook his head: "What are you chasing." Chase down, life and death unknown. ”
Seeing that the three of them were confused, Li Ye smiled dumbly: "Is it true that when the power of the moon god descends on Hexi, suppressing our Sancheng cultivation strength is an ornament?" If there is no such restriction, I can naturally kill him, and now it is already an all-out effort to repel him." ”
Although the battle was short, the intensity was far from being as simple as everyone saw. Even Su Emei and Da Shao Si Ming can't fully understand the subtleties.
The two rounds of crescent moon in the hands of the Divine Son are not weaker than the artifacts given by the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, and Li Maozhen's Chixia spear, the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Sword, and the Heavenly Shield in Li Ye's hands are at the same level.
The cultivation strength of the two, one is the peak of the Yang God True Person, and the other is the high-level perfection of the Divine Servant Realm, and they have reached the top of the laws of heaven and earth, and it is impossible to go further, so they are almost the same.
Therefore, the cultivation strength that Li Ye can exert is actually three percent weaker than that of the Divine Son, and if it is a completely head-on battle, Li Ye will only be defeated.
Just been able to injure the Son of God, he relied on the Heavenly Realm to face the enemy head-on, and the Heavenly Sword concealed and sneaked attack.
The Heavenly Sword injured the Divine Son and weakened his qi, which allowed the Qinglong Sword Qi to confront the Crescent Moon head-on, and finally formed a draw situation.
The same invisible Heavenly Sword did not kill the Divine Son with one blow, allowing him to avoid the key point at the critical moment. Li Ye didn't know whether to lament the great life of the Son of God or slander the power of the Moon God.
If he does not pursue the Son of God, it is also because he is afraid of the power of the Moon God, who knows what powerful hole cards are in the Great Temple? He boldly pursued and killed the past, and went deep into the enemy territory alone, without any benefit.
"What's next?"
Although he didn't understand it very well, the Great Commander still didn't get to the bottom of the battle situation, and instead asked about the next course of action.
Li Ye was relieved to see that Su E's eyebrows were fine, but his aura was exhausted. Hearing this, he looked in the direction of Minzhou, and said, "Of course, I went to Minzhou." ”
Speaking of this, he smiled: "The Divine Son is not lightly injured this time, so he has to hide back in the temple to recuperate for a while." As long as there are no accidents in Minzhou, we have won a big victory so far. Taking advantage of this opportunity, of course, we want to consolidate the existing gains and recover the rivers and mountains as much as possible!"
Recovering the territory of Hexi was the highest goal of the operation.
Li Ye can't go to the Great Temple now, but it's not realistic for the Divine Son to go to war.
Hexi can recover at least part of it.
Su Emei asked again: "When Shenzi's injury recovers, can you hurt him again?"
If you can, of course it's fine, if you can't, it's a nuisance.
Li Ye was silent.
Heavenly Realm, Heavenly Sword, Heavenly Shield, these things, the cooldown time is too long after using it once, and they will definitely not be able to be used again within three or five months. This time, the heavenly shield was not launched, and it can be used for self-protection next time, but Li Ye no longer has the ability to replicate the battle situation in front of him.
But Li Ye is not worried.
He also has a big dependence.

Auspicious New Year!
If there's anything I wish for the New Year, I'm hoping to keep changing...
