Savage Foothold Chapter 42: Fierce Battle
More than ten days later, Li Yan and Rakshasa came to a wasteland at the junction of the Three Kingdoms.
In the center of this wasteland, there stands a lonely hill hundreds of meters high, and a stone pavilion is piled up with bluestone at the top of the mountain.
From a long distance, Li Yan saw that there were four figures sitting in the stone pavilion, leaning together in pairs, and seemed to be divided into two factions.
When they landed not far from the stone pavilion and strode over, the four of them all came with sideways eyes, and they couldn't stop glancing at Li Yan and Rakshasa, their eyes were deep and meaningful.
Rakshasa sent a message to Li Yan: "See, those two hairy ones over there are the royal family of the Tang Kingdom, Qin Jun and Qin Wu, the Beast Emperor Technique cultivated by their family is very mysterious, and it is not inferior to the top level of our Li Family's Golden Dragon Technique." ”
Qin Jun is a middle-aged man with red hair, with a full beard, he can't see his face clearly, he is dressed in a black suit, Qin Wu's appearance is similar to Qin Jun, but Qin Wu has black hair and a black beard.
The breath on these two people is also one high and one low, Qin Jun is in the middle stage of foundation building, and Qin Wu is in the early stage of foundation building.
Rakshasa continued to transmit: "The remaining two are the members of the Shen family of the Ming Dynasty, the one wearing the scholar's robe is Shen Jinbao, the father of the Ming Emperor, and the other one is wearing a black robe, I have never seen it, it should be a strong man secretly cultivated by the Shen family." ”
The strength of Shen Jinbao and the other person is also a mid-stage foundation, an early stage of foundation-building, the former is the middle stage of foundation-building, and the latter is the early stage of foundation-building.
The two of them were observing the four of them, and the other party was also looking at them, and after seeing that Li Yan's cultivation was in the middle stage of foundation building, the expressions of the four of them were all solemn.
Li Yan took the lead and stepped into the pavilion with Rakshasa , and the four people also stood up, and the three sides confronted each other, and the temperature in the air seemed to be much lower.
After a while, Shen Jinbao said with a smile: "Everyone, since they are all here, then there is no more nonsense, let's start directly." Is it me Da Ming and Da Zhou first, or Da Tang and Da Zhou Xian?"
"What, don't you two compare?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows and asked.
The red-haired Qin Jun spoke: "It's not that it's not comparable, but it's not necessary, this meeting is mainly to discuss whether you, the new Great Zhou, have the strength to protect your land, if you don't have the strength, you will naturally give up the land." After all, in this land of the world, is there a virtuous person living in it!"
After all, it's just a strange laugh with bad intentions.
When Li Yan heard this, he frowned coldly and said, "So that's the case, could it be that the two of you are planning to join forces?"
As he spoke, his tone became cold, and he had a posture of starting if he didn't agree with him.
Shen Jinbao arched his hand and said: "No, the main thing is that both of us know each other's strength, there is no need to compete again, and the strength of your Li family, we don't know yet, so naturally we have to see a thing or two." ”
"Alright then, I'm not going to talk nonsense, let's get started. On the Li family's side, I will fight the battle, I don't know who you two will send?"
Li Yan took a deep breath and stared at the four people opposite with a cold light in his eyes.
"Boy, don't worry, you haven't said the rules of the competition yet, your Li family, how much land do you plan to take out to gamble this time?"
Shen Jinbao narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Didn't you say that you would bet on a county if you were good? What, you guys have changed your mind?" Li Yan replied coldly.
"It's not. ”
Shen Jinbao shook his head and said: "We just think that the stakes are too small, can we add more, I Daming is willing to bet with you on the land of the three counties, and Datang is willing to bet with you on the land of the two counties, what do you think?"
"Oh, and this kind of good thing, since you want to give my Li family land, why don't I. ”
Li Yan naturally gladly agreed to the fact that the enemy would give him land, anyway, in his opinion, these people could not be his opponents, since he wanted to give him land, then why not!
"Sharp-toothed boy, let me teach you a lesson, and let you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. ”
Qin Jun of the Tang Kingdom walked out and said, "Let me compete with you first." ”
As he spoke, his body turned into a flash of fire, and flew down the hill, landing on the wasteland.
Seeing this, Li Yan nodded at the Rakshasa, and also flew into the wasteland, standing opposite the Qin army.
"Little ghost, I'll let you see my Qin family's Beast Emperor Trick today. Let's see if your Li family's Golden Dragon Trick is powerful, or my Shen Family's Beast Emperor Trick is powerful. ”
As the words fell, Qin Jun was shocked, and there were flames all over his body, and his entire body was also much higher in an instant, his head turned into a lion's head, long red hairs appeared on his arms and legs, and his ten fingers also turned into sharp claws, turning into a strange form of half-human and half-beast.
"What kind of weird secret technique is this?How do you feel that you are not facing a human monk, but a demon beast?" Li Yan was shocked in his heart and muttered secretly.
On the other side, after Qin Jun carried out beast transformation, his momentum skyrocketed, and his voice became much rougher, and he said, "Little ghost, look at the move." ”
He threw a punch forward with one hand, and immediately a flaming fist the size of a water tank rushed towards Li Yan.
"It just so happens that I also want the power of the fact that the Golden Dragon Jin has entered the foundation building realm. ”
In the past few months since Li Yan came back, he has taken the Golden Dragon Pill that his family has entered the foundation building realm, and for the cultivation of the golden dragon jin, he has also entered the foundation building realm.
Although this exercise is far from the Blood Sea Demon Skill, it is always a family secret, and he must practice it.
After the golden dragon jin entered the foundation building realm, his lower dantian position also opened up a golden qi mansion, and the mana in the form of a golden little dragon was wandering in his qi mansion.
As he spoke, Li Yan pushed forward with both palms, bursting out with a strong golden light, and in this burst of golden light, a golden dragon meandered out and collided with the fireball.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the fireball and the golden dragon annihilated each other in the air, and it seemed that there was no winner or loser.
"There are two hits, so let's take this trick. ”
Qin Jun's first move was just a temptation, mainly to test Li Yan's strength, not his killer move, seeing that Li Yan broke this move lightly, the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer.
On top of his arms, thick flames were entwined, and in the next moment, with the wave of his arms, pieces of fireballs, densely packed, covered the sky and the sun, and flew towards Li Yan.
Qin Jun laughed and said, "Little ghost, how about this move?
"The Qin family's exercises are really unique, just by virtue of my cultivation to the early stage of foundation building, I am indeed not this person's opponent, but unfortunately, my strength is not only like this. ”
The blazing fireball that filled his field of vision also made Li Yan secretly frightened, and with a flick of his wrist, three pitch-black balls flew out, circled around his body, and turned into a triple black shield, firmly blocking Li Yan inside.
Thundered!
The continuous fireballs landed and descended on Li Yan, instantly turning into a heavy wave of fire and sweeping away, and the surrounding sparse bushes immediately turned into flying ashes.
"This little ghost doesn't dodge, it seems that he doesn't know the power of my ten thousand beast Chiyan. ”
Qin Jun had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, expecting Li Yan to be seriously injured, but the next moment, his face froze.
After the sea of fire receded, Li Yan didn't have anything to do, and the triple black shield was as steady as Mount Tai, blocking the sea of fire.
"How is this possible? How strong is the defensive power of this magic weapon of his?" Qin Jun stared in disbelief at the triple shield that enveloped Li Yan.
"Attacked me twice in a row, is it time for me to attack?"
Li Yan smiled coldly, the blood light on his chest spurted out wildly, and instantly condensed a sea of blood qi in front of him, and as his thoughts moved, in the thick sea of blood qi, more than a dozen blood-colored chains stretched out, like a spirit snake predator, winding towards him.
"What is this?"
Qin Jun had never seen such an attack before, and the flames outside his body rose again, condensing the head of a flame lion, protecting his body underneath.
The blood-colored chains released by Li Yan immediately melted as soon as they touched these flames, and they couldn't get close.
"The nemesis of the Blood Sea Demon Skill, is it actually a flame?" Seeing this scene, Li Yan frowned slightly.
However, he didn't take this setback seriously, and flew out of a black big tripod directly in his hand, and flew towards Qin Jun, and saw that in the black big tripod, black light suddenly gushed out, and rolled up at Qin Jun's body, and those scorching flames immediately dissipated.
At the same time that Qin Jun was shocked, those rays of light curled up, and the person was tightly tied, making him unable to move.
"How? Did I win?"
Li Yan walked over and asked with a smile.
"Hmph, little ghost, you actually have the best magic weapon in your body, since that's the case, then you win. ”
Qin Jun's body was imprisoned by the black glow, and it was very unbearable, so he could only agree to admit defeat.
"That's good, I'll let you go now. ”
Li Yan smiled lightly and took back the black glow.
Qin Jun looked depressed and returned to the stone pavilion with Li Yan.
Several other people witnessed the battle between the two of them, but they didn't expect it to end in just a moment, and they were all staring at Li Yan with deep eyes.
Li Yan stared at Shen Jinbao and said with a smile: "How is it, it's your turn next, right?"
Shen Jinbao was also a little surprised that Li Yan defeated Qin Jun so easily, but he was also very confident in his helper, and said with a smile: "Of course you can." This friend of mine has drifted to this continent from overseas fairy islands, and his exercises are unfathomable, so be careful, but don't die. ”
"Yes, overseas fairy island. ”
When Li Yan heard this, he stared at the black-robed old man with interest.
From the very beginning, the black-robed old man was indifferent, whether it was Shen Jinbao or Li Yan, he was friendly, after watching Li Yan's competition just now, his expression was a little more solemn, and he said to Li Yan: "I have heard everything you said just now, but I want to change the bet?"
"How do you change it?" Li Yan asked after two deep winks.
"It's very simple, I have taken a fancy to the magic weapon in your hand, I want you to win me, I also have a superb magic weapon here, I can give it to you, what do you think?"
The black-robed old man said with blazing eyes.
"Okay!"
For someone to give him a treasure, he naturally will not refuse, with his current strength, as long as he does not encounter a demon beast in the Dan stage, a cultivator at the foundation building level is generally not his opponent.
"Alright, let's go down too. Don't blame me for not reminding you, my strength is much stronger than that waste just now. ”
The black-robed old man was stunned and flew down.
Li Yan followed closely.
After landing on the ground, the black-robed old man said: "Little ghost, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you are still in time for the number of people now, if you see my methods for a while, then it will be too late for you to cry." ”
"Yes, I really want your best magic weapon!"
Li Yan was-for-tat, and was not impressed by the other party's language.
"Hmph, sharp-toothed little ghost, look at the move. ”
The black-robed old man brushed over the storage bag on his waist, and saw two black lights flashing, and on his left and right sides, a tall zombie came out from each.
This zombie looks indifferent, but the breath on his body is all foundation building, and one of them is even in the middle stage of foundation building, which is the same realm as Li Yan.
The black-robed old man said arrogantly: "Little ghost, don't say that I bully more and less, our Corpse Yin Sect is practicing the method of envoy zombies, if you obediently admit defeat, you can come, if I really do it later, it will not be so easy for you to admit defeat." ”
When Li Yan saw the two zombies, he was also secretly frightened, and said: "This sentence is exactly what I want to say, I hope you can see my methods and don't regret it." ”
"Hmph, little ghost, it seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin. Give me and tear him up. ”
The black-robed old man's face turned pale, and he gave an order to the two zombies.
"Jin Toad, come out too, you've been sleeping for half a month, it's time to exercise. ”
Li Yan also took out the golden toad from the storage bag on his waist and threw it out directly, at the same time, he released the sea of blood qi, and also released the blood spirit giant crocodile who had been sleeping in the qi mansion, and said, "You go out too, go and meet those two zombies." ”
"This kid, does he actually know how to raise demon beasts?"
Seeing Li Yan take out two demon beasts that were more powerful than the zombies he released, the black-robed old man's face changed, and he gave the order to attack the zombies.
These two zombies are his proud, even if they are not the opponents of the other party's demon beasts, there should still be time for delay.
I saw that the two zombies stepped on the wasteland with heavy steps, like drumsticks, and made a huge sound, rushing out like two cannonballs, but in the next moment, a scene that made the old man in the black robe feel hot in his face happened.
I saw that the golden toad opened its mouth lazily and swallowed a zombie directly into its stomach.
On the other side, the blood spirit giant crocodile in the late stage of foundation building, the blood light of its claws flashed, turning into two huge hammers, and the moment the zombie pounced, it directly hung the zombie on the ground, smashed it down with a hammer, and smashed the zombie to pieces in two or three strokes.
A few months ago, the Li family had mobilized a large-scale manpower, and after searching for tens of thousands of miles in the area near the Crossing Valley in the Blackwater Swamp, there was no news for two months, and then they had to recall the manpower from the Blackwater Swamp.
The young man in front of him, although he is quite similar to the rumored Li Yan, still has to confirm one or two.
"Proof?"
Li Yan muttered, thought about it sideways, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and said, "Is this enough?"
As he spoke, the Split Yuan Hu that he held in his hand slowly flew out, spun and swirled, swelled up, became three or four zhang in size, and floated in the air of the tent.
"Could this be the legend, the Li family's most powerful high-grade magic weapon, the Split Yuan Hu?"
The white-robed young man opened his mouth in shock, looking at the huge gourd in amazement, already believing Li Yan's words.
"It's not a split yuanhu, what else can it be?"
A faint smile hung on the corner of Li Yan's mouth, and with a gesture, he took the split yuan hu back, and asked, "Now you can tell me, what the hell is going on, right?
"I've seen the second son. ”
The white-robed general bowed respectfully, showing his sincere admiration, and said: "Second Prince, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Blood Snake Legion, under the leadership of Marshal Li Xiong, have entered the central region of the Great Song Kingdom at this moment, and have started a decisive battle with the royal army......
Half an hour later, after listening to the white-robed general's statement of the changes in the situation in the Great Song Kingdom in the past few months, Li Yan fell into deep thought with emotion.
"I didn't expect so many things to happen in the past few months since I was away, it seems that my original plan is going to change......"
Since that day when Li Xinren broke through the realm of foundation building and returned to the Li family with Li De, their century-old plan for the royal family began to be implemented.
In only half a month, the Li family integrated all the troops, gathered the soldiers and horses of the four counties belonging to the Li family in the original eight western counties, gathered them together, and formed an army of 600,000, and then before everyone in the Great Song Kingdom had time to react, they launched a thunderous offensive and attacked brazenly.
The remaining four western counties, in the case of the Li family's army approaching the city, a little lobbying, there are two directly against the water, join the Li family's camp, and then they use the strength of the six counties to jointly attack the remaining two counties, it only took half a month, all the way straight in, like a bamboo, the Li family will unify all the military horses in the eight western counties.
At the same time, in the southern region of the Great Song Kingdom, the Zhao family, one of the three major families, also openly declared their rebellion against the royal Yang family, and they gathered the troops of the three counties to launch a fierce offensive from south to north.
A few days later, the Li family announced that they had formed an alliance with the Zhao family, and with the help of the Li family, the two families attacked the north and the south, and the combined army soon occupied the territory of the nine southern counties.
At this point, the alliance of the Li family and the Zhao family has occupied half of the Great Song Kingdom, forming an army of one million, leaving only the six eastern counties, as well as some areas in the middle, which are still firmly in the hands of the Yang family.
As for the ten northern counties, it has always been a chaotic place, with mixed dragons and snakes, and the people are fierce, although the Zhu family, one of the three major families, occupies the land of the two counties, but after the head of the family, Zhu Di, came back from the Black Water Swamp, he was seriously injured, and he was unable to suppress the people with ulterior motives in the other eight counties, in the case of the Li and Zhao families' flagrant rebellion against the royal family, these areas directly rioted, and the army of the Zhu family was busy dealing with these riots, exhausted, and could not care about the resistance of the Li family and the Zhao family.
If these two families don't secretly cause trouble for them, their Zhu family will burn high incense.
