Chapter Forty-Eight: Course-Flowing Flowers

The wind blew through the boulder wilderness, bringing a chill to the bone.

Long Feng and Yang Tian sat around the fire in the hall, Gnu served tea and wine to the two of them, and Finse (Feng Ling'er) murmured to the gods beside him.

Yang Tian weakly took a sip of the old rice wine that he forcibly asked for from Qi Zhantian's hand, looked at Long Feng with stunned eyes and said, "Brother, I said that I seem to be in trouble recently. Every time I want to look farther, I always have a terrible headache, why?"

Long Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Normal, normal, the 'Heavenly Demon Qi' is not something that normal people can cultivate. Although you have obtained the mantra and know the method, have you really hated someone? Have you ever been truly angry? Have you really discovered the hope in your heart and used it as the motivation for yourself to break through the bottleneck? If not, you will not be able to go to the next level for a while. ”

Yang Tian lowered his head and said helplessly: "Anger, hatred, it's really hard to say, it seems that I haven't had these emotions since I was a child." So ......"

Long Feng comforted him and said, "It's okay, people will always go through some things slowly...... You grew up in a different environment than me, and when I was fighting with the beast, you were playing with a little girl in bed, how could you have that kind of feeling from me?"

Yang Tian nodded, sighed, and raised his glass to Long Feng, Long Feng returned the salute, and the two raised their heads and drank it.

Gnu took a big sip beside him, and said a little distractedly: "O boulder wilderness, the storm can already roll up stones. It used to be a good time for us to hunt at this time of year. All those beasts hid in caves sheltered from the wind, and one person could kill hundreds of beasts. ”

Finner turned his head and complained, "What a good time, eh, it's so cold......"

Long Feng said lightly: "Go a little further south, and when you reach the sea, it won't be cold." The western continent is closer to the north, so cold spots are the way they should be. ”

Yang Tian suddenly jumped up, turned a few times in the air and said, "Let's go, take the soldiers out for a walk." In the past half a month, what kind of harassment war you said has already made the people of the Black Cloud Empire hurt their brains. Let's go out and have some fun, I'm getting moldy all day in the city. ”

Long Feng and Genu's Xingtou also came, put on their outfits, and ran out with Yang Tian. Finser didn't bother to prepare anything, and followed the breeze that ran as they ran, and floated out like a ghost.

Yang Tian, who had the token specially issued by Wenyuan, effortlessly lit up the most powerful character among the five hundred 'Tiger and Wolf Army' soldiers, stepped on the war horse, rushed out of the south gate in a puff of smoke, and ran out. The crisp sound of horses' hooves made the residents of 'Heavenly Wind' City, who had just been poisoned by the Black Cloud Empire's army, hide aside in terror, trembling all over.

The hundreds of miles between the 'Tianfeng' City and the 'Shuiyun' Port have now become an extremely delicate place. The people of the Black Cloud Empire are waiting for the Celestial Empire soldiers to starve to death or starve to death, and the Celestial Empire is looking for loopholes to exploit and deal a crushing blow to them. The large forces on both sides did not dare to dispatch, but the disturbing troops of the Celestial Empire took the initiative to attack, which made the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire pay a heavy price.

Long Feng noticed that more than a dozen almost transparent black shadows like light smoke followed them not far away, and gave Yang Tian helpless guidance, Yang Tian said a few times: "You really care about me, and you have sent so many masters to protect you secretly." With a few roars, the speed of the horse team immediately increased. He was determined to give the secret camp killers behind him a little hardship.

The horse team galloped to a small village thirty miles away from the city, which was also the outermost part that Yang Tian was allowed to reach, and if he walked further, he might encounter something that was not very pleasant.

Looking at the soldiers of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' who had unconsciously surrounded him, Yang Tian sighed a little annoyed, and galloped towards a small mountain bag at the edge of the village, the gentle slope extended for three or four miles, and when the horse was stopped, he could just see a trace of blue in the distance.

The wind was blowing from behind, and the warriors of the 'Tiger and Wolf Army' were on guard all around, and Finser was abusing the horses under his seat, and kept running back and forth up and down the slope. Long Feng took Gnu, patted his horse to the position of Yang Tian's head, and watched the infinite world in front of him together.

The faint sand and dust were swept up by the wind, and Yang Tian suddenly opened his arms and whispered, "I want to fly ......"

Long Feng shook his head slightly, revealing a hint of a smile and said, "Flying, it's very easy, the spells of the Western Continent, if your strength is enough, you can fly." ”

Yang Tian stared at Long Feng a little angrily and said, "It's rare to have a little feeling, don't bother me, okay?"

Long Feng laughed, stretched out his right hand, and brought up a cloud of wind, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the sand and dust on the mountain bag were gradually rolled up by the wind from Long Feng's palm, and the whistling wind inexplicably brought a vast chill.

Long Feng said loudly: "Don't think about the sky, you look at your feet first, your feet ......"

Yang Tian jumped off the horse, paused on the ground a few times, squatted down, grabbed a ball of dirt, let it go away with the wind from the dragon wind, shook his head and said, "It's soil, what else?"

The dragon wind slowly floated up, slowly landed on Yang Tian's body, retracted the small tornado in his hand, and said in a low voice: "It's not soil, but land...... You see, these lands, above the land, countless people multiplied, and at the end of the land, there is a vast ocean, and in the ocean, there are other continents, countless lands, countless people...... From ancient times to the present, countless heroes and heroes, for these lands and these people, have been born and died in blood and fire, and one country has prospered and one country has been destroyed...... Look at the whole land, the earth trembles under the hooves of these heroes, and history is so colorful and charming because of these heroes, these glorious countries......"

Yang Tian took a deep breath.

Long Feng said with great admiration: "In the place where I came, a long, long time ago, there was a great monarch, his iron cavalry traveled all over the east and the west, his prestige shrouded countless lands, and his orders decided the survival of countless people...... From the east where the sun rises, to the west where it sets, is his land. One of his rages can make the princes and grand dukes thousands of miles away tremble......"

Yang Tian gently grabbed a handful of soil and threw it into the sky, gently popping out a strong wind, smashing it to pieces.

Long Feng exhaled and said lightly: "When that monarch was a child, he was a prisoner, and his wife was once snatched by the enemy and gave birth to a child who was not his flesh and blood...... But all remembered him only for his title: King as vast as the sea. ”

Yang Tian tilted his head, showed a hint of a smile and said, "I also imagine that he is like this, and let these lands and people become my objects. But ......"

Long Feng shook his head and didn't say anything more. Yang Tian nodded and didn't say anything more. Only Gnu was inspired by the story of that king, and a trace of strange air currents continued to roll around his tall body.

More than a dozen fast horses suddenly ran over from the side of 'Tianfeng' City, and gave a loud order: "The commander has an order, everyone hurry back to the camp." ”

In the distance, more than a dozen black military flags suddenly emerged from the horizon, and a hussar swooped down overwhelmingly. Gnu's face changed, he set up Yang Tian and got on his horse, and Long Feng sent out more than a dozen huge fireballs to attack the cavalry of the Black Cloud Empire in the distance, and fled on his horse.

The small horse team fled towards the 'Tianfeng' city in a panic, listening to the thunderous sound of horses' hooves in the distance behind him, Yang Tian asked in surprise: "How is it possible, how can they suddenly attack with a large army? Don't they know that we still have the advantage now?"

Long Feng shook his head again and again, gritted his teeth and said, "God knows what happened, go, go." ”

Suddenly, more than a dozen colorful dragon flags appeared in front of them, or the two-winged galloping horse banner of the Green Empire, or the black blood-character banner of the 'Tiger Wolf Army', and more than 300,000 cavalry troops surged, bypassing them and killing the cavalry legion of the Black Cloud Empire more than thirty miles away.

Yang Tianyi gritted his teeth and led the team to a small hill a mile away, and stopped his horse to watch what was going on.

Far away, the cavalry of several other cities dispatched one after another, forming three huge arrowheads, and slaughtered the cavalry legions of the Black Cloud Empire. Long Feng closed his eyes slightly, and clearly felt the strange flow of energy in the air, it seemed that those monks of the Great Black Heavenly God Sect used some strange means to transmit information to each other, so that the cavalry of the Celestial Empire Alliance could cooperate with each other in such a timely manner to meet the invading Black Cloud Empire cavalry army.

Gnu muttered, "It's strange, if they suddenly go crazy and desperate, where will their infantry go? They only have about 600,000 cavalry here, but on our side, there are all millions of cavalry. They still have an army of about three million people, what are they going to do?"

Long Feng gently drew a five-star in front of his eyes, a mysterious purple light flashed in the air, and a bright air mirror appeared, and the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire in the 'Shuiyun' port were hurriedly boarding their transport ships, and the large troop carriers that were obviously overloaded didn't have time to wait for the partners behind, so they hurriedly drove out.

There was a dull sound of footsteps, and the infantry of 'Tianfeng' City had already driven to the vicinity, and the phalanx of 200,000 people bypassed the hill and pressed forward. Just ahead, the cavalry armies of the two sides were already approaching, millions of arrows shooting at each other, and Long Feng locked the spirit of the battlefield and even saw countless arrows colliding with each other in the sky and falling to the ground.

Layers of blood flashed from the ranks of both sides, and countless cavalrymen overturned their mounts and were trampled into pulp by their companions behind. The warriors of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' roared angrily and threw their spears at the same time, then drew their swords and rushed forward with a roar. The spear with a piercing sound dealt a heavy blow to the Black Cloud cavalry ten feet away, and more than 50,000 people, including men and horses, were nailed to the ground by the spear infused with powerful impact.

The iron flow of the two sides crossed together in an instant, and the Celestial Cavalry, which was obviously stronger than the Black Cloud Cavalry in terms of equipment and personal ability, occupied a lot of advantages, and countless Black Cloud Knights were cut off their horses. In the area where the dragon wind spirit was most concentrated, more than a dozen black cloud knights were split into two pieces by General Long's big sword, and the sword qi also affected the companions behind them.

But the cavalry of these subject countries such as the Green Empire, compared to the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire, the Green Empire is still good to support, the more than 100,000 cavalry of the three subject countries trembling hands and feet were rushed into it by a cavalry team on the flank of the Black Cloud Empire, and they were tightly dressed in soft leather armor They fell off their horses in the fierce assassination of the other party, and after a while, they immediately scattered and fled, but impulsively rushed to the cavalry brigade of the Green Empire, and were killed by the other party taking the opportunity to lose a lot.

The two iron streams are now completely entangled together, and the fierce cavalry of the Green Empire, although they are obviously not the opponents of the other party, but relying on their partial numerical advantage, they have bitten the left side of the Black Cloud Empire, allowing a force of more than 10,000 Celestial Empire iron horsemen to sprint back and forth behind them, scraping away the power on the left side of the Black Cloud Empire little by little.

The dull sound of artillery suddenly rang out, and the new artillery, along with a large pile of old artillery, was pushed up by the follow-up troops. The new artillery was set up under the mountain peak, firing at the dense cavalry of the Black Cloud Empire in the distance, and those old artillery could only be used against the opponent if they were pushed up at least ten miles.

Clusters of fire flickered in the densest places of the Black Cloud Empire's knights, each time sweeping away all the creatures within twenty zhang of the vicinity.

Clusters of dark clouds slowly gathered in the air, and hundreds of monks of the Great Black Heavenly God Sect with sinister faces slowly walked to Yang Tian's side, the black light flashed in their hands, and those dark clouds slowly slashed lightning towards the cavalry of the Black Cloud Empire below. The knights in heavy helmets screamed that they were scorched by electricity, and the power of a bolt of lightning was enough to completely incapacitate hundreds of nearby knights.

More than a dozen wind dragons suddenly emerged from the crowd of the Black Cloud Empire, wanting to blow away the dark clouds in the sky, but immediately a lifeless Celestial Dynasty knight rushed over and slashed over the mages of the Black Cloud Empire hidden in the crowd, and then he was also chopped to pieces by countless black-eyed black cloud knights nearby. The horsemen who had lost control of the tornado swept through the vicinity and slowly vanished.

A middle-aged black-clothed monk who was standing not far from Yang Tian's side suddenly shot out red light in his eyes, and as soon as he raised his hand at the battlefield in the distance, a red thunder fire immediately slashed down, and the bursting fire ball completely wiped out more than 3,000 knights nearby, and then the monk immediately collapsed with sweat. The nearby monks followed suit and raised their hands one after another, and more than twenty red thunderbolts slashed down from the dark clouds, while the other monks who were not skilled could only continue to attack the unlucky Black Cloud Knights with lightning.

The scattered air currents brought the smell of blood on the battlefield, and Yang Tian took a deep breath of this slightly sweet breath and exhaled. Long Feng opened his hands, closed his eyes and said, "Look, feel the killing intent and death qi coming from that direction, something red and red, constantly distorting......"

Yang Tian's spirit followed the bridge that Long Feng had built for him, and came to the sky above the battlefield, looking down at the countless soldiers who were falling against each other below. A strange aura mixed with a thick murderous aura and the resentment of the dying people enveloped the entire battlefield, stimulating all the warriors to work harder and desperately to slash and slash the warriors in front of them who were not in the same array as themselves.

Just where Yang Tian was paying attention, a cannonball suddenly fell, it can be said that under Yang Tian's eyelids, more than a dozen knights were blown into meat sauce, and the broken pieces of meat were scattered by the shock wave, pasting on the bodies of their companions or enemies nearby, and a strong smell of blood and gunpowder smoke was directly felt by Yang Tian.

With the spirit of Yang Tian, Long Feng flashed around this battlefield for a radius of 100 miles, watching all kinds of death scenes.

A small cavalryman of the Kingdom of Asia, who was definitely no more than sixteen years old, was smashed to pieces in the head with a giant axe by a hideous-looking Black Cloud Knight, and then the Black Cloud Knight, who had already inserted three spears in his back, roared wildly and slashed the little warrior's horse, and was immediately thrown high by the three spears, falling to the ground like a tattered meat pocket...... Looking at the badge on his body, he is a high-ranking general commanding 100,000 cavalry, if he is in the Western Continent, at least a nobleman above the earl.

Long Feng faintly conveyed the following message to Yang Tian: "Are you excited?Are you happy?Are you excited?Look, those soldiers who died tragically...... Whether they were noble nobles or lowly people, they all died on the same land now...... Their lives were even so easily spilled with their own blood just because of an order from a monarch thousands of miles away......"

Yang Tian, who was stimulated by the scene in front of him, took a deep breath, and the 'Heavenly Demon Qi', which had been stagnant for more than a month, suddenly surged happily, with a trace of bloody and rapid circulation, constantly strengthening, strengthening, and strengthening...... Long Feng clearly felt that Yang Tian's spiritual strength was constantly strengthening, and he no longer needed his help, so he could completely envelop this battlefield and watch the Shura battlefield below.

Yang Tian frantically absorbed the energy nearby, and those dark breaths made the monks of the Great Black Heaven God Sect who did not know what to do with it ecstatic, desperately accumulating these dark powers, and launched a strong attack on those knights of the Black Cloud Empire.

The mages of the coalition forces who arrived one after another were extremely surprised to find that all their strength was suppressed by a strange energy, and they were unable to launch their own offensive at all.

Yang Tian's spiritual energy increased crazily, and after Long Feng carefully transmitted a little bit of energy in the magic crystal to him, Yang Tian's spirit was like a tyrannosaurus that had been living in the abyss for countless years, violently breaking through the sky, far beyond the atmosphere of this planet, and rushing into the vast space.

Yang Tian's eyes were filled with tears in his eyes, and he was intoxicated by the magical universe that his spirit perceived......

Endless energy erupted from the front, and even more distant to immeasurable fireballs, gently nourishing their spirits, and those negative dark energies surged with joy from the endless depths of the universe, injected into their bodies, and slowly strengthened and transformed their own **.

Yang Tian felt that another more powerful energy, a trillion times more powerful than his own spiritual energy, suddenly burst out from the surface of the blue sphere below and caught up with him. As soon as he came into contact with this spirit, he immediately knew about the arrival of Long Feng.

The two strands of spiritual energy of the same blood merged into one, skimmed the nearest star, caught up with a comet that flew by the edge of this planetary system, analyzed its composition in an instant, and then playfully changed its orbit and threw it into the big fireball in front of him......

Yang Tian's spirit suddenly plunged headlong into a huge planet, paraded happily on its surface, and was stunned to find the same human beings as on the Western Continent, they were fighting each other with rudimentary bronze weapons, a huge man laughed wildly and hacked everyone around him, grabbed the trembling woman who was tied to the pillar, tore off her clothes, and stepped forward......

Yang Tian's spirit suddenly left the planet again, flying towards a yellow planet in front of him. Long Feng followed him closely, protecting him, and entered the atmosphere of this planet...... Countless knights in white armor and bursting with holy light power swarmed to kill a tall warrior covered in black armor and holding a giant sword bursting with black energy...... The samurai waved his weapons with ease, and hundreds of knights were suddenly reduced to the most basic particles in the black storm...... Yang Tian laughed wildly, and in his thoughts, he summoned a thick white lightning bolt and slashed at the head of the laughing warrior, and the violent light power turned the black warrior and his sword into ashes...... When those knights fell to the ground on one knee and muttered prayers, Yang Tian had already rushed out with the dragon wind again......

It seems to be a long time, in fact, it is a matter of an instant, Yang Tian is under the support of the dragon wind, the 'Heavenly Demon Qi' is almost complete, all he needs is to continue to strengthen his energy in the future. At the same time, the dragon wind transmitted to him all the methods and methods of energy application......

Yang Tian, whose mood had changed greatly, used pure energy to simulate his body, standing proudly in the outer space above the Western Continent, stretching out his hand from afar, hugging this beautiful blue planet with his own energy, and then quickly returning to his body.

In the distance, the old-fashioned cannons also began to roar, bringing the spark of death to the knights of the Black Cloud Empire. The Black Cloud Knights' Legion, whose strength was gradually dwindling and their morale was nearly exhausted, retreated to the rear as the infantry of the Celestial Empire coalition army gradually approached the battlefield, leaving nearly half of their companions on the ground.

The Celestial Empire coalition forces pursued frantically, gradually leaving the range of Yang Tian and the naked eyes that they could see.

Yang Tian wiped his tears with a smile, and said very naturally to Qi Zhantian, who had a slightly ugly face next to him: "I'm sorry, it's the first time I've seen so many people die, it's a little sad." Qi Zhantian, who was ordered to lead people to protect him, could only sigh deeply in his heart and never say anything more.

After paying more than 100,000 casualties, the cavalry of the Celestial Empire annihilated about 300,000 Black Cloud Cavalry, and under the leadership of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' cavalry who killed the red eyes and killed the real fire, more than 950,000 cavalry teams with combat effectiveness pursued the remnants of Black Cloud and left. They didn't know that the infantry of the Black Cloud Empire was urgently boarding and retreating.

After galloping for about fifty miles, Wen Yuan of the Chinese army in the rear was about to give an order to stop the cavalry in front of him, when a vigorous cavalry of the Black Cloud Empire, which exceeded 500,000, suddenly roared from the direction of 'Shuiyun' Port and rushed to kill. The fleeing Black Cloud Cavalry went around in a circle and attacked the Celestial Empire cavalry brigade from the side.

The infantry of the Celestial Empire chased after them as fast as they could, just catching the tired Black Cloud cavalry, and the dense crossbows made countless knights fall off their horses with a miserable howl......

It was another desperate fight, and the Celestial Empire coalition without the support of artillery and mages, relying on the advantage of their own troops, as well as the strength of their individual combat power, gradually consumed the strength of the Black Cloud Empire's inexplicable army.

After a long time, after throwing down more than 100,000 corpses, the two Black Cloud cavalry in front and back turned their horses' heads one after another and retreated towards the 'Shuiyun' port......

Halfway through, a small infantry corps intercepted the Celestial Empire coalition army, and after a delay of half an hour, all 50,000 people of this group of infantry troops were killed, and the Black Cloud Empire cavalry brigade that had almost rested after joining forces was killed again, and after a period of fighting, they finally began to retreat completely.

Wen Yuan, who deeply thought that it was a ploy to lure the enemy, did not dare to continue the pursuit, and before the secret agents in front did not have the latest news report, he ordered to collect his troops and return to the city. This time, the Celestial Empire coalition annihilated 500,000 Black Cloud Empire troops, and his own casualties were less than 200,000, which was a big advantage, and Wen Yuan was already very satisfied.

Six hours later, they finally received definite news that the Black Cloud Empire had completely withdrawn its troops, and when the stunned Celestial Empire generals ordered to turn around and hurry in pursuit, it was too late.

The army of the Black Cloud Empire discarded almost all of its grain, grass and baggage, and left the Western Continent with an overweight load at the risk of the transport ship sinking. Wen Yuan asked: "It is understandable that they sacrificed so many elite soldiers to cover the retreat of the army, but what is wrong with them, they would rather fight hard with the Celestial Empire Sailor in the 'Yin Wind' Strait than retreat?"

The generals shook their heads.

Yang Tian, who got the confirmatory news, explained to Gnu in his warm hall: "If they all retreat rashly, they will definitely be detected by spies, if we take the opportunity to suddenly attack after half of them have already boarded the ship, then they will lose at least sixty percent of the army, but it is better to use elite cavalry to attack, which can be used as a suspicious soldier." Let us not dare to march rashly, and we can also kill and wound some of our soldiers, and let out some resentment. The question is, what is wrong with them, such a hasty retreat? Their sea transportation channels are still in our hands. ”

Half a month later, the Yun Empire's troop fleet fought a fierce battle with the naval divisions of the Celestial Empire blocking the strait, and after losing ships loaded with about 500,000 soldiers again, they returned to their continent in a panic.

At the southern end of their central continent, several cities made almost entirely of human bones towered deep on the plain, and countless skeletons, zombies and other monster soldiers howled and attacked the defense line of the Black Cloud Empire. And those remnants of the nobles who were wiped out by the Black Cloud Empire took the opportunity to gather troops and began a vigorous restoration movement. It wasn't until these two million troops who slipped back from the Western Continent returned to their aid and bloodily suppressed these aristocratic armies that the Black Cloud Empire was able to concentrate the country's energy and start fighting against these undead monsters. Now, the only thing their emperor prays to the dark god they believe in every day is: "The army of the Celestial Empire must not sail to our continent now, otherwise, we will be finished......"

In one day, Yang Tian had already mastered all the mysteries of Western magic, and began to use low-level or high-level magic for fun at will.

The Celestial Empire coalition army, which had received a large amount of grain and grass, was relieved to settle down in the Southern Plains, and began to plan to increase the population of the Southern Plains and open up more farmland and mines. Wen Yuan was ambitious to believe that in just twenty years, the entire Western Continent would become the most stable source of grain and minerals for the Celestial Empire, as well as the most stable source of soldiers.

The sailors of the Celestial Empire continued to sail towards the 'Yin Wind' Strait, preparing to establish a permanent fortress in that sea area. Emperor Tianyou believed that if the Black Cloud Empire attacked again, he would only be able to make a detour to the waters south of the 'Yin Wind' Strait and gamble on his luck with the violent sea conditions there, that is to say, the Celestial Empire now had no threat from foreign enemies, and could already let go of the development of those strange technologies left by Yang Wei......

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

For three consecutive months, Yang Tian practiced with the soldiers of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' every day, and his body, which was too slender before, was now much stronger, and his height was on par with Long Feng. The daily training, coupled with the continuous transformation and strengthening of the 'Heavenly Demon Qi' internally, gradually made Yang Tian's body have the momentum of a battlefield veteran, which also made Wen Yuan and other generals who had followed Yang Wei happy.

Just when the winter of the Western Continent was slowly passing and spring was coming soon, Yang Tian's opportunity had finally arrived. A hundred-foot-long ironclad giant ship made entirely of steel came to the port of 'Shuiyun' and was ordered to return to the Holy Capital to listen to the reward. Yang Tian casually mentioned a few words to Wen Yuan, saying that he wanted to see the scenery of the Celestial Empire, and by the way to see if he could find a way out in the Celestial Empire......

Wen Yuan agreed without hesitation, and began to think with Qi Zhantian and others about how to give Yang Tian a good foundation for a good start in the Celestial Empire......

Therefore, when the spring breeze began to blow across the Western Continent, Yang Tian, Long Feng, Gnu, Finse and the other four followed Wen Yuan on a journey to the Heavenly Pilgrimage Holy Capital. Yang Tian left a letter for his mother, and Finse and Long Feng performed a courtship skit that almost made the people in the neighborhood faint, and got a more convincing excuse to follow Yang Tian to the Celestial Empire.
