"impossible!"
Cao Qiu lowered his head and looked at the two swords inserted into his chest, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The three swords clashed just now, and his long sword was cut off without any resistance. The two divine swords pierced into his body, destroying everything with devastating force.
"Ahem..."
He struggled and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood mixed with his internal organs. Suddenly he seemed to see a certain figure, and he immediately understood: "This... is not... your power! Relying on foreign things will definitely suffer backlash in the future. You will... all your lives... The ultimate goal of the hopeless swordsmanship..."
After saying this curse, he closed his eyes and his breath suddenly died.
This former swordsman, the world-renowned great swordsman, lay dead on the spot, but his back was still straight and straight, like a spear.
"The way of swordsmanship reaches the realm, bah!"
Kurozuka spat disdainfully. He was originally a barbarian and had no intention of dedicating himself to swordsmanship. The sharper the divine sword was, the happier he was.
However, Gai Nie was shocked. Looking at the water sword that exuded a blue and icy feeling, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Not far away, Mo Ge poked his head out of the soil and looked at this scene in horror: "Impossible... Cao Qiu is a swordsman of the generation, but he can't stop the swords of two servants?"
At this thought, he no longer dared to show off his strength and ran away directly.
This Five Elements Escape Technique was secretly taught by his master and was a life-saving skill. At this time, there was no drag from Cao Qiu. He was as fast as the wind and as powerful as lightning. He was far away from the military camp and came to the outside world in an instant.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a violent tremor, like an earth dragon turning over.
A strong sense of danger struck, making Mo Ge shiver all over.
Around him, the soil that was originally as soft as water seemed to turn into steel plates in an instant. Huge pressure surged from all directions, making him seem like an insect sealed in amber.
"Impossible... How could my master's Five Elements Escape Technique fail?"
Although he couldn't move his mouth, he was roaring in his heart.
Unfortunately, no one came to answer his question.
In the darkness, I didn't know the passage of time, couldn't see or hear anything from the outside world, and couldn't even move my hands or feet.
This kind of torture can completely drive a normal person crazy.
But at this time, even if Mo Ge wanted to ask for mercy, he had no chance.
Tap!
Above the soil layer, Fang Yuan paused his feet: "Another little bug has been cleaned up... I'm afraid that no one will think that a person will be buried underneath and directly embedded in the rock layer after thousands of years, right? Shan Those who live in water die of drowning, that’s true!”
Just now, it was naturally him who took action from a distance and saved Wang Zipan's life.
Otherwise, Heizhong and Gai Nie alone, even with the help of the power of the water and fire swords, would not be enough to defeat Cao Qiu.
"This calamity was originally a bit troublesome for Wang Zipan, but with the joining of the military leader Chi, it is like a breeze blowing on the face, and there is nothing to fear anymore!"
Fang Yuan glanced around and immediately saw that in the business camp, luck was gathering, strands of mysterious black energy were boiling, turning into the shape of a flying bird, and there were several bright rays of light on his body, twinkling like stars.
"The merchant army's military morale has skyrocketed, and the Dongyi Allied Forces are in trouble!"
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan nodded secretly, and suddenly looked to the northwest again.
There, there is also a ray of luck rising into the sky, like a pillar of heaven, with a purple phoenix in the middle, spreading its wings and singing.
"The Kingdom of Western Zhou... moved?"
With just a glance, Fang Yuan knew a lot of information with his piercing eyes.
"Wang Zipan must defeat Dongyi immediately and regain his strength, otherwise... Wang Ji will change drastically! The world will be turned upside down!"
…
Western Zhou Dynasty.
The Marquis of Western Zhou looked rosy and high-spirited, with a long sword made of colorful stones hanging on his waist, looking down at the princes from all over the world who came to congratulate him.
Ever since he obtained the heaven-given sword armor, Fengming Qishan, almost all the nearby vassal states knew about it due to his deliberate publicity.
At this time, it was through the destiny that he could subdue many princely states and attack the great merchants together.
The princes were sitting on the high platform, watching the military exercises below. Carriages and soldiers were passing by, and many people's expressions changed continuously.
After all, in order to show his majesty, the Marquis of Western Zhou exposed most of his family wealth.
Those thousands of chariots and tens of thousands of elite soldiers can only be matched by the merchants of Dayi. The other princes can only have the strength of a thousand warriors at most. The thought of being attacked by the Western Zhou army of thousands of warriors if they do not obey the covenant The scene of entering the country made everyone shudder.
"Everyone, are our soldiers strong?"
The Marquis of Western Zhou Dynasty was drinking wine and asked suddenly.
"nice!"
The princes were frightened by the power of the army and could only agree one after another.
"Are my soldiers sharp?" the Marquis of Western Zhou asked again.
"It's profitable..." Some of the princes had already guessed what the Marquis of Western Zhou was going to say next, and couldn't help but tremble.
Sure enough, the next moment, the Marquis of the Western Zhou Dynasty drew his sword and stood up: "The great merchants are unethical, the Shang king and Emperor Xin are cruel and lustful, and they demand too much from the vassal states. The world has been suffering from merchants for a long time. Now that I, the Western Zhou Dynasty, have received the destiny, I have strong soldiers and horses, and I should do the justice of heaven." , to fight against the tyrannical merchants, are the princes willing to make an alliance with me and swear to fight against the merchants?"
See you in the picture!
At this moment, almost all the princes regretted that they should not have come here after listening to the call of the Western Zhou Hou in order to see the legendary colorful stone sword.
Looking at the soldiers in full armor around them, some princes had already begun to tremble.
Obviously if the negotiation breaks down, the Marquis of Western Zhou may arrest them all and throw them into cells in the next moment.
"only!"
At this time, a prince suddenly came out and bowed to the Marquis of Western Zhou: "Lü Bo is willing to worship the Marquis of Western Zhou as the leader of the alliance, and jointly send troops to attack the ruthless merchants!"
"Lord Lu, please rise!"
The Marquis of Western Zhou hurriedly helped Lu Bo up with both hands, and said in a friendly manner: "I am very relieved that your uncle understands the righteousness! Please take a seat and rest, and we will swear an oath together later!"
"Damn it...this is obviously the dark room that the Marquis of Western Zhou found..."
The mere state of Lu had less than 300 chariots and only 5,000 soldiers, so it was just a make-up.
The princes suddenly came to their senses and realized that this was obviously the shill that the Western Zhou princes were looking for.
It's a pity that even though they knew this, many princes still had to borrow donkeys from the slope to bow to the Marquis of Western Zhou: "Wei!"
"Ha ha… "
The Marquis of Western Zhou looked up to the sky and laughed: "Please join me later in swearing an oath to raise the army and hand over the military talisman to your personal followers. I will send soldiers to return home with them. They will be safe and sound."
The princes trembled, knowing that they were being forcibly taken hostage by the Western Zhou lords.
At this time, a dark and thin prince on the outermost side suddenly said nothing and rushed towards the outside with his sword.
"He is the uncle of Qi State!"
came an exclamation.
The princes looked sideways and saw that Uncle Qi was agile and guarded by dead soldiers. He actually rushed out of the encirclement and was invincible.
"It is said that Uncle Qi once learned swordsmanship from the Sword Master and was praised by Cao Qiu as his successor. He is indeed very elegant..."
For a moment, there was a slight commotion in the venue.
The Marquis of Western Zhou looked at this scene expressionlessly, but he was neither sad nor happy.
"Chirp!"
Just when Uncle Qi and his party were about to break out of the encirclement, a clear cry that pierced the sky and broke through the clouds suddenly came from above the nine heavens.
A ray of purple light fell, dragging a long flame tail, dividing the colors of the five elements.
Inadvertently, a sharp claw stretched out and grabbed it quickly.
Uncle Qi screamed and was pushed directly into the ground, his flesh and blood turning into mud.
"This is... Feng?"
The princes watched Uncle Qi's death and kept silent.
"That's right... I have been destined to be the future king of the Western Zhou Dynasty. I am also protected by the purple phoenix. Who in the world can defeat me?"
The Marquis of Western Zhou laughed: "What do you think?"
"Meet the leader!"
The princes looked at the tall five-element purple phoenix and couldn't help but grab it, so they bowed down to the Marquis of Western Zhou Dynasty.
"Okay! But in our alliance of nations, we don't need to be careful!"
The Marquis of Western Zhou pointed at the three of them with a stern voice: "Zou, Wei, Qu... you three monarchs have always been close to the Shang Dynasty, or was it a special arrangement of the Shang Dynasty among the Western princes, right?"
"Carp, you are so slanderous!"
These three countries are all small countries, and the king only has the title of "Zi". Hearing this, he couldn't help but curse.
"You have forgotten that I can calculate Yi Dao. How can I hide such things?"
The Marquis of Western Zhou's expression remained unchanged as he ordered: "Drag him down and kill him!"
"promise!"
Suddenly, a group of soldiers came forward and dragged the kings of the Three Kingdoms and their followers out. Not long after, several screams were heard, and the soldiers came over to present their heads.
Seeing their chatting and joking companions turn into bloody heads, many princes turned pale and felt like retching.
"The Western Zhou Dynasty's attack on Shang was to do justice for heaven, and it was definitely not an unjust war to conquer the country. Qi State has a thousand chariots, and Zou, Wei, and Qu combined also have a thousand. If you divide these lands, the Western Zhou Dynasty will not be able to do anything. Don’t take it!”
The Marquis of Western Zhou Dynasty couldn't help but calm down when he saw the crowd.
"Is this true?"
When they heard about this opportunity to expand their territory, several princes' eyes lit up.
"Of course, after we form an alliance, we can make a tripod and swear an oath!"
The Marquis of Western Zhou agreed immediately.
Naturally, he didn't take this little benefit into consideration. What the Western Zhou Dynasty really wanted to do was to cut flesh with a knife!
After all, in the world at this time, theoretically only the King of Shang had the power to enfeoff the princes and determine the boundaries!
"only!"
At this time, the gathered princes, some were afraid of the Western Zhou army, some were in awe of the destiny, and some were greedy for the land and population of neighboring countries. After looking at each other, they all agreed.
"Haha... Come here! Set up an altar to worship heaven! After the oath of alliance, we will fight against the ruthless businessmen together!"
The Marquis of Western Zhou Dynasty was overjoyed. He and the other princes came to the rooftop that had been prepared, offered three animal sacrifices, and personally held the ox's ears, cut the blood into the wine, and all the princes drank together.
At this time, the leader is the leader of the alliance.
"Meet the leader!"
The princes drank the blood wine and bowed down one after another.
"good!"
The Marquis of the Western Zhou Dynasty raised his long sword high: "Immediately recruit the people of the country and swear to attack the Shang Dynasty. At this time, the Shang Dynasty army is marching south, and the Shang Dynasty is empty. We must attack directly and decide in one battle!"
"promise!"
The princes nodded one after another. The reason why they succumbed so quickly this time was that Dashang's lack of strength was also a very important aspect.
At this moment, above the Temple of Heaven, the clouds appeared in the shape of Ganoderma lucidum and became colorful. It was an auspicious sign and immediately aroused everyone's awe. The Marquis of Western Zhou was overjoyed and determined to start immediately!
