Chapter 397

readx;? Iron lotus flowers bloomed in the frozen lotus fields, and the thick snow on the surface of the lake was thrown up by invisible forces, sprinkling into the dark night sky, the thick ice collapsed and exploded, and the icy lake water like ink kept lapping against the black hole, startling snow-like waves, and then dissipating into the real snow.

In the withered remnants of the lotus bush, Ximen Wang was once again shaken by the air waves, and with the sound of screaming iron pieces shuttling, his mountain-like body broke through the wind, as if he was about to be thrown above the night clouds.

On the cliff on the shore, the maid held the big black umbrella tightly in one hand, grabbed Xu Chen's clothes with the other, lowered her head and closed her eyes, and did not look at the chaotic picture on the lake in front of the cliff at all, but she seemed to be able to clearly capture the location of everything, and whispered two numbers again.

Listening to those two numbers, Xu Chen did not hesitate to bend his bow and arrows, and shot towards the distant night clouds diagonally above, it was pitch black, he couldn't see what was there at all, but he knew that Ximen Wang was there.

There was a blizzard falling in the sky, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see the path of the arrows, only the sharp sound of arrows could be heard, and when people heard the arrows, it was already a matter of the next moment.

The night clouds above Yanming Lake suddenly fluctuated, and the breath of heaven and earth was chaotic, as if a thunder exploded in the black clouds, and the dim clouds fled in all directions.

The night clouds burst and blood splattered.

Ximen Wang fell from a great height, and this time he could no longer maintain his balance, and slammed into the ice, causing several deep cracks to appear on the ice.

A cold, dark iron arrow pierced deep into his left arm.

Because of anger and pain, Simon Wang's eyes seemed to burn, like a wounded beastmaster, he grasped the tail of the iron arrow, pulled the arrow out of his upper arm, and continued to run towards the south bank.

He only had time to take three steps forward.

A powerful explosion occurred again at the bottom of the lotus field and in the mud.

The ice beneath his feet cracked suddenly, nearly swallowing his body into the dark and cold waters of the lake, and the ensuing waves of air and flames and those insidious and terrifying sharp pieces of iron.

When the fluctuations in the lake water reached the feet of the military boots through the ice, Ximen Wang, with the ability of a martial arts peak powerhouse, made the most timely response.

He slammed his boots out of the frozen lake and into the air, then raised his fists in front of him like lightning.

Ximen Wang snorted, and flew upside down for dozens of feet until he withdrew from the lotus field.

Dozens of small pieces of iron appeared on his arms and bodies that his arms could not cover, and blood oozed from the wounds, looking like red grass in the autumn of the wasteland.

Continuously resisting the explosion in the lotus field, especially after continuously receiving Xu Chen's several arrows, Ximen Wang, even if he was a martial arts peak powerhouse, his spirit and qi and blood were also extremely badly depleted.

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi condensed on the surface of his body has collapsed and scattered, and he can no longer protect his body, and his skin is as hard as a golden stone under the action of the Demon Sect's True Qi, and now there are countless wounds on it, although there are no fatal injuries, but the appearance of blood is dripping with blood, and it looks extremely embarrassing.

At this moment, another arrow pierced through the burning withered lotus and the wind and snow, and quietly came to Ximen Wang's side, without giving him any respite.

Simon looked at his palms together, forcibly clamped the terrifying iron arrow in front of him, his body retreated ten feet further on the ice, and the ice and snow splashed all over his body, his face was pale, and more and more blood flowed from the corners of his lips.

Xu Chen stood at the foot of the cliff on the south shore of Yanming Lake, silently watching all the movements on the lake below the cliff, when Ximen Wang was blown up again and retreated, he took advantage of the instant light of the explosion to preemptively determine the position, and after just hearing the position reported by the maid, his fingers stroked the bowstring.

Archery is the most powerful means, but in the past, ordinary bows and arrows did not have much meaning to martial arts practitioners, and once such a weapon appeared in the world, then in a sense, Xu Chen became a nightmare for all cultivators.

Xu Chen's archery action is not fast, but there is a very wonderful sense of rhythm, with that sense of rhythm, from the maid reporting the direction to the iron arrow leaving the bowstring, the process is so smooth, there seems to be no waiting process, and there is a certain reason implied in it.

In the face of this powerful archery, and more importantly, there are maids beside him, no matter how powerful Ximen Wang is, he can't avoid those silent but powerful iron arrows.

He can only resist hard, he can only hold on, and he can only keep bleeding, just to see if Xu Chen's thirteen iron arrows will run out of blood, and whether he can rush in front of Xu Chen.

The speed of the arrow is so amazing that it travels far faster than the sound travels, so it is only when it hits the target that the sound of the arrow will travel diagonally in both directions.

On the wooden bridge on the west bank of Yanming Lake, the reeds shook suddenly, and the cyan robe on Ye Tong's body fluttered and floated, and then she heard the arrow roar.

"Arrows?"

Ye Tong's expression was slightly grim.

She had seen arrows on the snowy cliffs of the wasteland and on the shores of Daming Lake, and she knew what kind of power this talisman arrow possessed that concentrated the wisdom of the Blue Kite Pavilion of the Dushan Sect.

However, tonight the wind and snow were chaotic, the reeds were shaking, and in the afterglow of the arrows, her Tsing Yi robe was whirring, and she found that in just one year, Xu Chen's arrows became more terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of explosions in the lotus fields of Yanming Lake reached the snow bridge.

She frowned and said, "What is this?"

Explosions after explosions, flashes of firelight, terrible iron pieces swirling and screaming, and the terrifying arrow intent in the night snow made her face paler and paler.

She looked at the lake in the east, and suddenly said something very incomprehensible: "I am dead." ā€

Pan An and Tang Xiaotang have been standing at the end of the wooden bridge.

They were silent as they watched the battle on the lake, worried about Xu Chen and the maids.

Ye Tong didn't know what the explosion was, but Pan An was the one who had seen the small iron kettle test, but he didn't explain it.

Just as Ye Tong said those three words, he looked at the arrows and thunderous fires in the distance, and said with a complicated expression: "I'm also dead." ā€

They are still standing on the wooden bridge, and naturally they are not dead.

But when they heard the sound of explosions and arrows coming from Yanming Lake, they all said the same thing.

I'm dead.

Ye Tong is a Daoist of the Western Jin Dynasty, and Pan An is the youngest Great Cultivator of the Knowing Destiny Realm in the world, and the two of them are the most talented and powerful young people in the Dao Sect.

The reason why they would say that I was dead was because they watched the battle in silence, confirming that if they were in the position of Ximen Wang, facing Xu Chen's painstaking preparation for fifteen years, from summer to winter, they could only support until this moment at most, and they would die.

Wind and snow on the city walls.

Ye Tianming said: "I never thought that a cultivator of the Sixth Realm would be able to make such a big noise, it seems that I still underestimated Xu Chen, but what happened to the explosion in those lotus fields?"

The elder brother did not speak.

As the senior brother of the Dushan Sect, he naturally knew what those explosions were about, but like Pan An, he would not tell others about the little junior brother's ability to press the bottom of the box.

Ye Tianming looked at the direction of Yanming Lake, was silent for a long time, and slowly shook his head and said: "Xu Chen's methods are really a weapon to kill if they are used against other cultivators, but it is still not enough to kill Ximen Wang with talismans and arrows and these strange explosions. ā€

The snow on Yanming Lake gradually stopped, and the wind and snow in the palace continued.

The hall under the night snow is brightly lit, the crows are silent, and naturally there is no chilling cicada chirping.

Everyone knew what was going on in the capital, so the expressions of everyone inside and outside the hall were a little strange, the guards held the cold hilts in their hands, vigilantly stationed outside the hall, and the eunuchs and palace maids walked slowly with their heads down, ensuring that when the soles of their feet landed, there would be no sound.

Emperor Chaoyang did not wear his regular clothes tonight, but wore a bright yellow dragon robe, leaning on the soft collapse, holding a scroll in his hand and reading, but he didn't know if he could read it.

The queen sat in the chair beside the couch, her gentle and luxurious face in the past, but today there was no expression, and worry and anger could be faintly seen in the depths of her eyes. Chaoyang National Master Li Yin and Imperial Brother Wuchan Master sat calmly opposite each other in front of the imperial couch, and today the strong people in the capital are gathered, so these two most powerful and trustworthy masters of the imperial court must be in the palace.

His Majesty the Emperor slowly put down the scroll in his hand, looked at the snow falling in the night outside the hall, and looked in the direction of Yanming Lake in the south, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Although Ximen Wang is the queen's unknown brother, in terms of emotional tendencies, His Majesty hopes that Xu Chen can win, because His Majesty has always regarded himself as a master and a student, so in his opinion, Xu Chen is his little junior brother.

"What a majestic breath. Li Yin felt the fluctuations of heaven and earth vitality coming from the side of Yanming Lake, and said, "Xu Chen's talisman arrow is really terrifying. ā€

The Empress Niangniang suddenly raised her head, looked at His Majesty the Emperor and said in a trembling voice: "Gather the wisdom of the mountain behind the mountain of the Sect of the Sect of the Sect, and gather the power of the rising sun to create such a talisman arrow, is this fair?"

His Majesty the Emperor was silent, he didn't want to make his wife even more sad.

Master Wuzen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke and said calmly: "It's fair, it's just that Xu Chen has been preparing for a longer time, and he has been preparing for fifteen years. ā€

After saying this, he and Li Yin left their seats and walked towards the night snow outside the palace, leaving this quiet and complex atmosphere of the palace to His Majesty and the Empress.

There is a pavilion behind the side of the main hall, and there is an ancient bell hanging between the pavilions.

There is a thick layer of snow on the eaves of the pavilion, and a shallow snow on the ancient clock.

Li Yin and Wuchan walked into the pavilion and stood beside the ancient bell.

Li Yin looked at the south, frowned deeply and said, "It's still not enough." ā€

The Zenless monk said, "I didn't expect you to also hope that Xu Chen would win. ā€

Li Yin said: "People's emotional tendencies are uncontrollable, although Ximen Wang is an elder of my Daomen, Xu Chen is the only heir of Senior Brother. ā€

Then he said lightly sadly: "He has been preparing for fifteen years, but it still doesn't work." ā€

The Zen monk stretched out his palm to gently wipe the snow on the ancient bell, and said: "When Xu Chen entered the Fu Dao, he once came to the pagoda and asked me, I also hope that he can win, but he has a thought, and things can't go as he wishes, if whoever prepares for a long time can win, then what's the point of practicing?"

The blizzard stopped suddenly, the air waves generated by the explosion gradually subsided, the night wind became much gentler, the Yanming Lake in the middle of the night was quiet, and the night clouds on the lake gradually revealed a gap, and a few stars probed out of the gap, looking curiously at the ground, wanting to see what had happened before.

Most of the night dome is covered by thick black clouds, and those few stars appear and disappear, but they shed some light, and they can see a little sight, only to see a wolf on the ice of the snow lake, the withered lotus has long been broken into powder, and dozens of faint black holes have appeared in the lotus field, which makes people shudder.

A burly man knelt on one knee on the ice, kneeling in front of the black holes, his clothes in tatters, holding dozens or hundreds of pieces of iron, blood flowing from his body and eventually flowing onto the snow on the lake, staining the snow around his knees red.

The red on the night snow and winter lake is actually more like black.

The place where the burly man knelt was only a hundred zhang away from the south bank of Yanming Lake.

Xu Chen stood on the cliff by the lake, staring at the lake.

For fighting and archery, his black hospital uniform, sleeves and trousers were tied tightly by the maid with cloth ropes, and his body, especially his right arm, was trembling violently, so the black hospital uniform whirred in the lake breeze.

The use of arrows requires a lot of physical strength and mental power, at the beginning Xu Chen could only shoot a few arrows, but now he has achieved great cultivation and can shoot all the thirteen iron arrows in the arrow box, which is still a great burden on him, plus the hundreds of talismans in the lakeside house, the small iron kettle in the mud at the bottom of the lake, he used all his means, and at this time his mental power in the sea has been almost exhausted.

His eyes were unusually bright, his face was unusually pale and haggard, his right arm was extremely weak, his right shoulder was painful as if it had been torn open, and he was weak and could collapse at any moment.

But he didn't fall.

He waited for Simon on the lake to fall first.

Ximen Wang fell on one knee on the snow lake, and he finally failed to block Xu Chen's last arrow, the cold and dark iron arrow, which passed directly through his calf bone.

If it was an ordinary cultivator who was shot by this iron arrow, his leg would definitely be broken.

Ximen Wang was no ordinary cultivator, his leg was not broken, and the iron arrow did not even pass through his leg, but this only caused him more serious injuries and greater pain.

Ximen Wang stretched out his right hand to hold the iron arrow on his calf, trying to pull out the arrow, but his hand trembled a little, and he couldn't succeed.

He had a blank face and a left hand.

The two iron hands violently exerted force, and the hard iron arrows were broken by him!

This action is bound to bring great pain.

Ximen Wangtie's eyebrows were raised sharply, like a bloody lip coated with rouge opened, and a very poignant howl burst out.

The terrible and terrible howl echoed above the quiet snow-capped lake, shaking the snow and ice flying wildly, and even the cold willows on the shore were flying.

Simon looked at his knees and stood up.

At this time, he was covered in blood and looked embarrassed and miserable, but once he stood on the snow lake, he was domineering, like an indestructible mountain.

It's more like the blood flag outside the courtyard gate on the north shore of Yanming Lake.

The blood flag whistled and danced in the cold wind, but it never seemed to fall.

Simon looked at the south cliff.

There was no expression on his pale countenance, and there was obvious pain in his trembling voice, but what he said still revealed an unstoppable sense of strength.

"Xu Chen, is that all?"

"That's all you have?"

"You think you're going to kill me?"

"I haven't come up with my most powerful means yet, don't say you can't do it. ā€

The mournful howling echoed on the snow lake, and Ximen Wang walked towards the south shore of Yanming Lake in the night, because of the injury to his leg, he walked very slowly, and his voice was a little trembling, but his steps were still so steady, and his bearing was still so powerful.

Xu Chen, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, looked at Ximen Wang, who was walking slowly on the ice of the night lake, without any expression on his face, but his mood was a little strange, feeling the cold brought by the wind and snow.

The arrows in the arrow box have been shot, the hundreds of rune papers that have been accumulated for two years have turned into yellow waterfalls and colorful storms in the courtyard of the house on the north shore of the lake, and the small iron kettle in the silt at the bottom of the winter lake has all been detonated, and his most powerful means seem to have been completely used, but he still can't kill Ximen Wang, and he can't even stop this person from slowly walking towards the south bank.

This is the strength of the peak powerhouse of martial arts?

The snowflakes falling on the walls are much thinner.

The senior brother looked at the direction of Yanming Lake, his clean eyebrows and eyes couldn't hide his worried expression, and the old cotton jacket on his body trembled slightly, as if he was hesitating to float up.

Ye Tianming's expression was slightly cold, he didn't expect that this battle on the Lake of Winter would present such a situation, from the beginning to the present, Ximen Wang would actually be fully controlled, and he would be so seriously injured.

"I have to admit that Xu Chen gave me a lot of surprises, the master's closed disciple is really not an ordinary person, but it's a pity that he will die tonight after all. ā€

He looked at the senior brother and said, "Unless you make a move." ā€

Senior Brother understood the meaning of this sentence.

Tonight, the world's powerhouses gathered in the capital, and he was the only one in the Dushan Sect who came forward, in order to create a fair environment for Xu Chen, responsible for watching the Chaoyang military, and he was responsible for watching this peerless genius of Haotian Daomen, correspondingly, he and were also watched by the other party.

If he makes a move, then Ye Tianming will inevitably make a move.

I don't know what I remembered, but the expression on the senior brother's face gradually calmed down.

"The teacher often asked me to learn from the younger brother, and I was always thinking about what I should learn, and now I think about it, I want to learn his attitude when he encounters difficulties. ā€

He looked at the direction of Yanming Lake and said: "The most admirable thing about the little junior brother is himself, he is his own sky, there is no limit, when everyone in the world thinks that he can't do it, he can often take another step forward, and climb another step on the stone steps, this is the case when he enters the Duishan Sect, when he climbs the old Duishan Sect, and when he enters the Blue Kite Pavilion on the mountaineering road, how can there be an accident tonight?"

A lot of torches were lit outside the Yulin Army barracks, illuminating the surroundings extremely brightly, and the snow bridge outside the camp looked like a jade belt, and the man wearing a high crown on the snow bridge looked like an immortal on the jade belt.

As the wind and snow drifted by, the time kept passing.

From daytime to late at night, I don't know how long it has been, and the confrontation at the snow bridge has continued.

Xu Shi, the general of Zhenguo, and the powerful Yulin army have been staying under the snow bridge.

General Xu Shi leaned on the railing under the snow bridge, looked at his senior brother sitting cross-legged in the snow on the bridge, coughed painfully twice, and said: "Xu Chen's challenge to Ximenwang, in my opinion, is a provocation to the dignity of my Chaoyang military, so I want to prevent this battle from happening." ā€

Senior Brother slowly raised his head and looked at the leader of the Chaoyang Army, the thin snow on his eyebrows fell, and said, "Since the battle has begun, words are unnecessary. ā€

"Yes, it's not necessary. ā€

Xu Shixue's eyebrows gradually floated, and she looked at him and said angrily: "So you must Xu Chen die?"

The senior brother said: "Since the battle has begun, there is naturally life and death, and as a soldier of the rising sun, don't you still understand this simple truth?"

After a pause, he said with an indifferent expression: "Besides, Ximen Wang is not a great character, who dares to say that my little junior brother will definitely lose?"

In the eyes of Mr. Dui Shanzong, the Chaoyang King General Ximen Wang may indeed not be a too terrifying opponent, but now it is Xu Chen who is fighting against Ximen Wang.
