This was the method Li Cunxiao used to resist Zhao Zilong's "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix". Zhao Zilong's spear was moving unsteadily, and the secret was that it was extremely fast, making it hard to defend against. In this case, Li Cunxiao used speed to counter speed, and simply ignored the location of Zhao Zilong's silver spear. He just waved his Bi Yan Lao and evolved a protective shield.
In terms of speed, Li Cunxiao is no less than Zhao Zilong, and even faster. He swung the Bi Yan Lao, forming a tortoise shell-like protective shield, covering himself in it, just like a turtle, no matter how hard the wind and rain hit him, I will remain unmoved.
Obviously, this is also the best way to restrain Zhao Zilong's "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".
Sometimes you have to admire the quick wit of these generals. They can come up with the right way to deal with the enemy's offensive in a short time. This is talent and combat wisdom that is incredible.
“Dang, dang, dang… ”
A burst of heavy rain-like collision sounds suddenly rang out. It was the sound of two men swinging their weapons rapidly.
Amid the sound of this rapid collision, Zhao Zilong's "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" was destroyed without even being attacked.
Just at this time, Lu Fengxian came on horseback. He knew that it was Zhao Zilong who rescued him, so he hurriedly nodded to the other party with gratitude, and then rushed towards Li Cunxiao with his halberd in hand like a mad tiger.
On the battlefield, the scene immediately evolved into a battle between two heroes and one fierce one.
The black light was shining, the silver light was glittering; the painted halberd was solemn, the steel hammer was uncast, and there was also a silver spear that was as agile as a dragon, coming and going quickly, strange and inexplicable.
At the foot of Gaobi Ridge, on the battlefield, people were roaring, horses were neighing, grass leaves were flying, and dust was rising.
Every collision can cause the airflow in the surroundings to vibrate endlessly; every fight can make the peaks of Gaobiling rustle, with a magnificent and extremely fierce sound.
Li Cunxiao, Lu Fengxian and Zhao Zilong are definitely rare and peerless generals of this era. If these three people fight, the noise will be huge.
Such a big noise alarmed a group of people on Gaobiling.
On the top of the highest peak in Gaobiling Mountain, a group of Taoist priests with tall hats, long beards and fluttering sleeves gathered here, seemingly having an important gathering.
In addition to the Taoist priest, there were several monks, three or two court officials, and a dozen or so Jianghu celebrities, all of whom listened attentively with solemn expressions.
This group of people was led by the Five Immortals of the World who were discussing Taoism at Gaobiling.
The monks in the lead were obviously a big monk wearing coarse cloth and straw sandals, and this man was Budai Monk.
The leader of the court officials was an old eunuch who was about to die. He was trembling as if he had fallen down accidentally and would never get up again. This man was none other than the old eunuch of the Privy Council, suspected to be Liu Xingshen.
On the left and right of the old eunuch stood a man and a woman. The man was fierce and the woman was gentle. Both of them carried long swords, and their looks and spirits were very different. They were Wang Zhixing and Yu Cuiwei, the ace killers of the Privy Council.
As for the other famous figures in the martial arts world, their descriptions are even more different. Some are as ferocious as crocodiles, while others are indifferent and otherworldly. They have different appearances and origins.
An old Taoist priest with a lanky figure and a celestial appearance was about to speak when he heard a roar from the bottom of the mountain: "Li Cunxiao, I, Lü Fengxian, will not be a human being if I don't kill you today."
The voice was deep, endless, and filled with hysterical anger. It traveled all the way here along the September breeze.
The gaunt old Taoist frowned when he heard the voice and said unhappily, "Who dares to make such a fuss?"
Although the old Taoist spoke calmly about this question, his uncontrollable anger clearly revealed his resentment.
This was not the first time that his thoughts were interrupted one after another, and finally this immortal figure with a celestial appearance came down from his trance.
Altar, want to find a gap in the world.
As soon as the old Taoist asked, the seductive Yu Cuiwei quickly bowed and replied, "Master, the Heshuo Army at the foot of the mountain is confronting the Hedong Army. It should be the general who is challenging them to a fight."
The old Taoist in a bad mood was none other than Yu Cuiwei's master, Tan Qiao, also known as the Immortal Huating.
The Taoist priest sitting cross-legged next to Tan Qiao was an old Taoist priest with silver hair and beard. When he heard the news, his brows furrowed and he asked in confusion, "I remember that the Heshuo Army had been fighting in the northern border. Why did they suddenly attack Hedong?"
This person was none other than Liu Haichan of Yanshan, also known as Jinchanzi and Jinchan Laoxian.
Before Liu Haichan finished speaking, he turned to an old Taoist with a high Taoist bun and coarse linen clothes. This man was the one who beat the bamboo, and was known as the Bamboo-beating Immortal.
"Old Toad, don't look at me. I don't know why either." Although Ji Zhuzi didn't look up, he seemed to be able to sense that Liu Haichan was looking at him. He turned his head to glance at Budai Monk and found that the other's eyes were also full of confusion, so he responded helplessly.
Liu Haichan naturally knew that Ji Zhuzi and Budai Monk were close friends of Zhu Li, which was why he asked this question. He did not expect that even the other party did not know the reason, which made him unhappy.
A war would mean that countless people would suffer. This old Taoist priest, who lived in seclusion but had his heart set on the world, seemed dissatisfied with Zhu Li's wanton attack on Hedong.
"Li Cunxiao is the Taoist's favorite disciple. Does the Taoist know the reason?" Liu Haichan was unwilling to accept the fact and turned to ask an old Taoist with a solemn and cold expression.
The Taoist was Shi Jianwu, also known as the Huayang Immortal. Shi Jianwu devoted himself to self-cultivation and did not interact with others. No one could have imagined that his disciple was Li Cunxiao, the most powerful general in the late Tang Dynasty.
Shi Jianwu, who called himself Qizhenzi, was a native of Hongzhou. He also had a nickname called Yanxiake. When he was young, he was in poor health, so he devoted himself to seeking the truth and cultivating his body and mind. Unexpectedly, he gradually achieved success and became a famous immortal.
Seeing Liu Haichan asking him, Shi Jianwu remained calm and said indifferently, "I don't know."
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded. It turned out to be the old eunuch who spoke. His face was gloomy and he said in a cold voice: "Zhu Li had a history of attacking Hejian without reason. After Li Sigong rebelled, the court accepted his explanation and just rehabilitated him. I didn't expect that he would still have evil intentions and actually harassed Hedong again. He really deserves to be killed."
"Please forgive me for not agreeing with what Master Liu said." Before the old eunuch finished speaking, Budai Monk started to refute, "As far as I know, the Di people led 200,000 soldiers to attack Lulong, and the feudal lords in the world were just sitting there doing nothing. No one sent troops to help and resist the Tartars. Only Zhu Li rose to the challenge and conquered Lulong in three battles."
"The Khitans were still determined to destroy Fengzhou the following year. Zhu Li led his troops to fight a bloody battle in the northern border and pacify Fengzhou."
"Looking around the world, people's livelihoods are becoming increasingly poor nowadays. Only the people of Heshuo can give a monk a little comfort, because the life of the people there is what is called living. Mr. Liu wants to kill Zhu Li, but I'm afraid that millions of people in Heshuo will not agree." The cloth bag monk glanced at the old eunuch and said dissatisfiedly.
Budai Monk's statement made everyone present silent, and they all fell into deep thought.
There were only three old eunuchs, their eyes flickering and full of indignation.
"Under Li Keyong's governance, the people of Hedong lived in peace and tranquility. Zhu Li launched a war in Hedong, making the people of Hedong suffer. Shouldn't he be killed?" As the old eunuch's number one thug, Wang Zhixing angrily questioned the Budai Monk when he saw that he dared to refute the old eunuch.
"No." Before Budai Monk could respond, Jizhu suddenly said, "Li Keyong himself
Since he took office as the governor of Hedong, he has not been idle. As everyone knows, he has been engaged in a bloody battle with Meng Fangli. "
"At the beginning of the year, he led his troops south again and wreaked havoc in Guanzhong. As far as I know, the reason why the emperor came to Fengxiang was because he was frightened by Li Keyong, Wang Chongrong and others."
"Humph." Wang Zhixing snorted coldly upon hearing this. He was about to continue to refute, but was suddenly interrupted by an old Taoist with a ruddy face and bright eyes: "If you want to keep arguing, why not take a look?"
This old Taoist is also a famous Taoist. His name is Peng Xiao, also known as the Yin-Yang Immortal. He advocates the dual cultivation of sex and life. Although he is quite old, he has many beautiful concubines. Many of the most popular girls in brothels and ladies in the boudoir in Shu have ambiguous and unclear relationships with him.
However, his cultivation was unfathomable, his Taoism was profound, and his status was very respected. Since it was he who proposed to investigate, everyone present nodded silently.
While the two heroes were fighting Cunxiao at the foot of Gaobi Ridge and Gaobi Ridge was trying to find out the truth of the matter, Zhu Li had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as Zhu Li entered Fenzhou, he heard that Lu Fengxian had already attacked Gaobiling, so he hurried over with Yuchi Jin and his two servants.
As soon as he arrived at the foot of Gaobi Ridge, he heard that Lu Fengxian had challenged Li Cunxiao and was defeated. Fortunately, Zhao Zilong came to his rescue and he was lucky enough to save his life. Lu and Zhao were fighting fiercely with Li Cunxiao in front of the battle.
This news made him feel relieved, but at the same time, he couldn't help but worry. Li Cunxiao was a tough guy. In this era, he was the synonym of invincibility. With Lu Fengxian and Zhao Zilong both fighting against Li Cunxiao, how could Zhu Li not be worried.
Without thinking, he brought Yuchi Jin and the other two directly to the front of the Heshuo Army's formation.
The entire Heshuo army was excited about Zhu Li's arrival, and morale instantly became much higher. The impact brought by Lu Fengxian's defeat disappeared without a trace in an instant. This was the confidence that the entire Heshuo soldiers had in Zhu Li.
At this moment, even facing mountains of swords and seas of fire, these Heshuo soldiers dared not frown, but advanced enthusiastically and bravely.
On the battlefield, although Li Cunxiao was extremely brave, he was still not slack in the face of the siege from Lu Fengxian and Zhao Zilong.
Lu Fengxian's attack was extremely powerful, and Zhao Zilong's skills were exquisite. The cooperation between the two was seamless, which made his fierce attacks fruitless and he could not retreat. He was obviously at a disadvantage. If this continued, Li Cunxiao would inevitably be defeated.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Li's heart finally settled down and he breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Fengxian and Zhao Zilong were indeed worthy of their reputation. The two of them could actually tie with Li Cunxiao together, which was already amazing.
But at this moment, a group of people quietly walked down from Gaobi Ridge. The old eunuch in the crowd saw that Li Cunxiao, who belonged to the Hedong Army, was being suppressed. He narrowed his eyes and immediately winked at Wang Zhixing and Yu Cuiwei beside him.
How could Wang and Yu not know the old eunuch's intention
Before everyone noticed, Wang Zhixing and Yu Cuiwei immediately quickened their pace and quietly moved towards the battlefield. While moving, Wang Zhixing secretly locked onto Lu Fengxian, while Yu Cuiwei also locked onto Zhao Zilong.
Zhu Li, who was watching the battle, instantly sensed a faint murderous aura directed towards Lu Fengxian and Zhao Zilong. Shocked, he quickly looked in the direction where the murderous aura came from.
At a glance, he saw Wang Zhixing, and of course Yu Cuiwei.
Zhu Li was deeply impressed by Wang Zhixing. How could he not have a deep impression of this man who almost took his life
As the saying goes, enemies are particularly jealous of each other when they meet, and this enemy seems to be plotting something bad and wants to deal with his generals in Heshuo. How could Zhu Li let him succeed? Without even thinking, he immediately rode out with his spear in hand, rushing towards Wang Zhixing and Yu Cuiwei.
