Yes!
There is no way out!
By now the rebels were being attacked from both sides and the imperial army was tightly besieging them, leaving them with no way out.
Once there is no way out.
Either the other side surrenders.
Or it's a last-ditch fight.
However-
Rebellion is a capital crime.
Gu Changqing has no other choice but to fight.
That's when.
A guard came in from outside, knelt down on one knee and said, "I have met you all!"
"what's going on!"
"Your Majesty, the rebels have sent the letter of challenge!"
"Send it up."
"Yes!" The guard stepped forward and respectfully handed over the letter in his hand.
Yan Caizhe's eyes signaled, and a general on the side immediately took the letter and then waved: "You can go down now."
"My subordinates, please retire!" The guard respectfully retired.
Subsequently.
The general opened the letter and read all the contents before handing it to Yan Caizhe.
He reached out and took it.
Yan Caizhe looked at the content on the letterhead, frowned slightly, and then sneered: "Gu Changqing is so courageous. At this time, he actually dares to declare a challenge to us!"
After reading it, he passed the letter on.
When it fell into Qin Shujian's hands, he could clearly see the contents of the letter.
Not much content.
Just summarize it in one sentence.
That is, half a month later, the decisive battle will begin in the land of Shanghe.
Regarding the land of Shanghe mentioned in the letter.
Qin Shujian also had some understanding.
There is a vast plain, only on both sides are rushing rivers. It is said that the river is a huge river that runs through the entire Qianshan Mansion.
Wu Tai said in a deep voice: "Gu Changqing should have understood that when he sent the letter of challenge, they have no way out now and are planning to make a final struggle!"
"But I have a question. Until now, there seems to be no big movement among the demon clan. Is there any hidden force behind this?"
Ke Yucheng said with a solemn expression.
Everything is going too smoothly now.
It went so smoothly that the rebels didn't even offer any decent resistance.
As for the strong demon clan behind the opponent.
Apart from causing a lot of trouble for them at the beginning, there really hasn't been much movement until now.
Hear the words.
Wu Tai sneered and said: "Now that the Human Emperor is still here, how dare the demon clan have the guts to interfere too much. The matter has reached this point. Even if Gu Changqing has any back-ups, what effect can they have?"
These words actually made many people nod secretly.
Now the situation is clear.
Facing the imperial army approaching step by step, the rebels no longer had much room for maneuver.
Even if this letter of challenge is not enough.
In a few days, the army will have its troops pointed directly at the opponent's lifeline.
Having said this, Wu Tai turned his head to look at Yan Caizhe and asked, "In Master Yan's opinion, should we respond to Gu Changqing's letter of challenge?"
"Why shouldn't!"
Yan Caizhe shook his head slightly and smiled lightly.
"Gu Changqing dared to declare a challenge, and I, Yan Caizhe, dared to accept it. We can take advantage of this opportunity to stabilize all the cities we have obtained. Then we can consolidate our forces in the land of Shanghe and defeat them in one fell swoop."
In his opinion.
Gu Changqing is willing to declare a challenge, which is the best thing.
That's when.
Everything is on the table, and the two sides compete head-on.
otherwise.
If the opponent avoids fighting and chooses to break out from the side, it will cause a lot of trouble.
But as Gu Changqing.
Clearly disdainful of avoiding a fight.
That being the case.
Yan Caizhe gave the opponent this opportunity and fought in an upright manner, which convinced Gu Changqing to lose.
certainly.
the most important reason.
It was also because the imperial court had captured most of the cities in the hands of the rebels in a short period of time. There were almost no defenders in these cities, which made people's hearts a little unstable and the rear gradually became unstable.
This will take some time to consolidate the rear.
therefore.
Only then did Yan Caizhe agree to Gu Changqing's letter of challenge.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, they had already agreed to the rebels' declaration of war, so no one else raised any objections.
soon.
A reply letter was sent directly to the hands of Qianshan Hou.
This will be the case.
It's settled.
at the same time.
The news that the two armies were about to fight in the land of Shanghe was spread directly through unknown means, and the news spread wider and wider, with a faint tendency to spread throughout the world.
the other side.
Qin Shujian entered a state of cultivation in his new mansion.
For half a month.
With the army going to war.
Although Gu Changqing's forces rarely resisted and basically withdrew completely, it does not mean that there was no confrontation at all.
And every battle.
He had killed many enemies with his formations, and naturally gained a lot of life sources.
Arrive now.
The source of life has reached the level of over 30 million.
only-
Even if the life source reaches a height of 30 million, there is still no plus sign that can be improved in the Guiyuan Ancestor Code.
This is also explained from the side.
If Guiyuan Ancestral Code wants to deduce the next level, it needs at least 40 million life sources.
this matter.
This is not good news for Qin Shujian.
And eliminate the Guiyuan Ancestor Code.
The other six martial arts that have reached the divine level in the Lingwu Chapter all have plus signs that can be improved.
but-
Qin Shujian did not put his life source into these techniques.
Because there is no need for that.
Judging from the situation of deducing and improving the Guiyuan Ancestor Code.
Even if 30 million points of life source were all thrown at one skill, it would be like being promoted to the seventh or eighth level of the Spiritual Martial Arts Chapter.
Judging from his current spiritual strength.
When a skill reaches this level, it can't achieve much increase.
Unless it is before swallowing the Black Messenger, it will still have some effect.
But after swallowing the Black Messenger.
The spiritual god has broken through to thirty feet, and has already undergone a transformation.
so.
Qin Shujian had a premonition.
Even if you add one skill to it, it won't be of much help.
For this mysterious sixth sense.
He was convinced.
That being the case.
It would be better to keep the source of life, and then find a way to deduce the ninth level of the Guiyuan Zudian Lingwu Chapter. Then, if you practice further, you will undoubtedly get more bonuses.
more importantly.
The remaining six techniques are all of divine quality, pointing directly to the realm of divine martial arts.
That is to say.
On the premise that there is no improvement in the source of life, one can still slowly improve it through one's own practice.
Don’t say anything else.
Judging from his own cultivation talent, Qin Shujian is quite confident.
Even if he is not within the scope of the Liangshan Spiritual Domain and does not receive the blessing of the Domain Lord title, his cultivation speed is not slow at all.
This is also proved from the side.
Even without the source of life as an auxiliary means to improve his strength, he is still a genius.
at this time.
Qin Shujian's spiritual thoughts suddenly moved.
Immediately, the fourth-grade golden lotus floated above his head, and the golden shield covered his entire body.
Also at the same time.
The white sword blade cut through the secret room and directly hit the golden shield.
boom-
The shield is broken.
The sword slashed towards Qin Shujian without stopping.
But when it was blocked by the Golden Lotus, the blade had been weakened a lot. When it was about to approach, the Wuchen Immortal Clothes suddenly came into play, and another layer of air wall shield was propped up, blocking the blade. Blocked.
Things happened too fast.
Only when the sword blade broke did Qin Shujian open his eyes.
The next moment.
Then he saw a man wearing a silver mask coming to kill him. A seal appeared on a long sword, and a fatal threat emerged from his heart.
There was no hesitation.
The moment Qin Shujian turned around, a large formation fell down with a wave of his hand, covering the man in the silver mask.
However-
In less than two seconds, the formation shattered.
The man in the silver mask rushed out of the formation barrier, shortening the distance between the two in one step, and pointed his sword directly at Qin Shujian.
That's when.
Su Mingyang, who had been guarding the mansion, also noticed the movement, and with an angry roar, a terrifying spiritual state erupted, attacking the man in the silver mask.
Shenwu Shenwu's divine thoughts exploded.
The power is enough to shake the earth.
The man in the silver mask obviously knew how powerful he was, so before the long sword touched Qin Shujian, his body was already running away in the opposite direction, and in less than half a breath, he had already disappeared into the night sky.
Everything comes quickly.
It goes quickly.
When Su Mingyang arrived completely, Qin Shujian was the only one left standing there.
As for the secret room where he originally practiced.
It was completely broken at the moment.
"Sect Master Qin, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Qin Shujian shook his head slightly, but his expression was a little cold.
Just had a brief encounter.
He then understood how terrifying the opponent's strength was.
It can break the defense of the fourth-grade golden lotus with one blow, and can even break the formation he set up in an instant.
Such strength.
Even the Dark Envoy, who was half a celestial being at the time, was a bit weaker before he used the method of suppressing the bottom of the box.
Thus.
The person with the silver mask is at least half a celestial being.
As for whether he is a strong person in the heaven-human realm.
Qin Shujian is not completely sure.
After all, it's hard to say whether the opponent retreated because of Su Mingyang's appearance because he was afraid of Su Mingyang, or because he was worried about being entangled by the opponent and was afraid of him, the formation master, and other strong men in Dingxiang City.
Su Mingyang's face didn't look good at the moment, and he said coldly: "The other party who dares to assassinate must be a strong man from the demon clan. With the methods of Qin's master, he can't even keep him. His strength is not simple!"
"At least he's a half-step celestial being."
"It seems that Gu Changqing has written a challenge in advance, and has the intention of letting us temporarily relax our vigilance, and then send people to assassinate us!" Su Mingyang just changed his mind and roughly guessed the other party's plan.
Make a statement on the bright side first to stabilize people's hearts.
Then he sent someone to assassinate Qin Shujian.
The purpose is to let the imperial court lose one Formation Master before the war begins.
It's time for the war to begin.
They can take advantage of many advantages.
It was at this time.
The huge movement just now attracted the attention of other people in the mansion and even in Dingxiang City, and then they rushed here one after another.
