In a hidden corner near Longquan Water, a black shadow suddenly flew into the air, like a roc spreading its wings and leaping towards the bank of Longquan Water. Its target was Zhu Li and Yuchi Jin, who were enveloped in the ball of light.
"Haha, the magic weapon of the immortals actually developed a selfish mind, hahaha, God helps me." The man laughed wildly, like an owl in the wilderness at midnight. His shrill laughter contained endless chillness, and everyone who heard it felt creepy and terrified.
"Who?" As soon as the black shadow appeared, Geng?m immediately swung his halberd and rushed out, shouting at the same time.
However, before he could pounce, a hurried shout came from behind him: "Come back, General Geng, you are no match for him, you just stay in the formation carved by the old Taoist and take good care of the general."
Obviously, this shout came from Zhu Qia, but Geng Xin couldn't help but pay attention to the words of this magical Taoist.
It was because of this Taoist that he knew that the master he recognized was the Huaihua General Zhu Li; it was also because of this Taoist that he knew what Zhu Li was doing now; what's more, according to the Taoist, whether Zhu Li could survive seemed to depend on the other party's means.
Under such circumstances, how could he not obey the other party's orders? Although he did not think he was incapable, he still stopped when he heard the shout.
The shadow came very quickly. Geng M, who had stopped, immediately joined forces with Han Xun, Yi Cun, and Shu He to instantly build a human wall in the formation and in front of the light group.
"Clang, clang..."
As soon as the human wall was formed, everyone drew their weapons, and several pairs of tiger eyes, all with grim and unfriendly eyes, looked at the black shadow that was flying through the air. Before the black shadow arrived, an aura that could suppress the heavens came over from the air, making people feel like they were in an eight-force gale, almost suffocating.
Even the light shield where Zhu Li was seemed to sway.
The light shield was dim inside and one could not see the scene inside from the outside.
In this hazy light shield, Zhu Li's chest had already cracked, and a golden heart separated from his body, floated up, and slowly drifted towards Yuchi Jin's chest.
At the moment the heart left the body, blood gushed out of Zhu Li's chest like a fountain, and it seemed to be emitting some heat.
The severe pain stimulated his nerves, the blood blurred his vision and seemed to blur his consciousness. He was like a shriveled water bag, no longer showing a trace of vitality.
But the last bit of his consciousness was still staring at Yuchi Jin, the woman he loved most in his life. He wanted to watch his heart sink to her heart and let her live. It seemed that his only obsession now was.
If he had not done enough in his life, if he had not loved often enough, then he could give her his entire heart, and perhaps that would be enough.
A heart also flashed on Yuchi Jin's chest. It was a shriveled, withered heart, without a trace of life. As soon as it appeared, it turned into gray dots of light and disappeared in the light ball.
The golden heart slowly sank into her chest and landed at her heart. As soon as it landed, a faint blush instantly appeared on Yuchi Jin's face, which was as cool as jade, which was full of vitality.
After seeing all this, Zhu Li's last bit of vague consciousness finally sank into darkness, endless darkness.
Outside the ball of light, the black shadow had just flown to the edge of the array pattern when a gray figure suddenly appeared like a ghost, and suddenly stood in front of the opponent, blocking his way.
“Hmph, you’re disturbing me while I’m trying to snatch the destiny. I think you’re tired of living.” Before the voice fell, a huge black hand suddenly turned into a gnarled and ferocious eagle claw, like a dark cloud covering the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the gray shadow’s head.
"Humph." Gray Shadow also snorted coldly and said coldly: "No matter what fate the person that the old Taoist has chosen is, you can never get involved."
With a cold snort, the gray shadow's fingers were as sharp as swords and flew away like a sharp arrow. Before he finished speaking, the sword fingers and black claws collided with each other in an instant.
"Bang" a rapid collision sound suddenly exploded.
Endless air currents surged and swept, bringing with them the gentle breezes from all directions, which suddenly blew past violently, causing several generals who formed the human wall to stagger and look extremely embarrassed.
A strong wind blew, and a black shadow like a crow flipped out, and the gray shadow that suddenly jumped up fell to the ground like a cannonball.
"boom"
"boom"
That was the sound of two people falling and exploding.
When everyone looked, they saw an old man with a black scarf on his face and a black robe on his body appearing not far outside the formation.
The man was wrapped in a black robe, with only a pair of eyes as sinister as a ghost, staring sternly and sharply at the gray shadow standing in front of the crowd.
The gray shadow was none other than Zhu Qia. No one had ever imagined that this Taoist priest who had fled in fear in Huayin County was actually a hidden master.
As the saying goes, an expert can tell the outcome with just one move. The two of them just had a quick collision, and the stirring noise was so intense that even Shu He, Han Xun and others who had been through hundreds of battles almost couldn't control themselves. It can be seen what masters these two are.
"Who are you?" Two sinister and cold rays of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the man in black robe, and he asked Zhu Qia in a sinister tone.
"It doesn't matter who the old Taoist is. What's important is that you will get nothing with the old Taoist here." Zhu Qia stood there calmly, but his voice was firm, as if he already knew the intention of the man in black robe.
“Hmph, since I came to this world, I have never met an opponent in my life. I’m afraid you can’t stop me!” Before he finished speaking, the man in black robe moved suddenly, his body like a ghost, fierce and sinister, and his momentum was as great as a startled wild goose.
His speed was indeed very fast. Even masters like Geng Xin and Yi Cun could not see the opponent's figure clearly. But as fast as he was, Zhu Qia was even faster.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Qia suddenly turned into a hazy gray shadow and rushed forward as fast as a meteor.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Rapid collision sounds continued to be heard.
The area where the two men fought was filled with flying sand and rocks and surging waves.
Several generals standing not far away suddenly felt that the breeze between heaven and earth was getting stronger and stronger. If they did not use the skill of holding the stakes to secure their position, it seemed that it would be very difficult for them to even stand.
Looking around, there were dark shadows everywhere in the battle group, and sharp claws everywhere, as if they wanted to tear through this space and tear apart everything in the world.
Under the heavy claw shadows, a grey light swayed suddenly, the fingers were like swords, the sword intent was cold, the light was cold in all directions, sweeping across the whole area.
The battle seemed to last for a moment, but also seemed to last for a long time. When the two separated again, they both looked very embarrassed.
The black-robed man's robe was torn almost everywhere, and there were faint drops of scarlet liquid dripping down from his black face mask.
Zhu Qia's robe became even more tattered. If his robe could barely be considered a robe before, now it was just a piece of rag that he wrapped around his body in an awkward manner.
"This concerns the destiny of our Li Tang nation. If you give up now, when our Li family rebuilds the country, we will definitely establish Taoism as the state religion. In the future, you will be the national teacher of our Li Tang. What do you think?" The man in black robe looked at Zhu Qia and suddenly made a solemn promise.
Obviously, in the confrontation just now, the old guy suffered a loss and had to bow to Zhu Qia.
Zhu Qia was resolute and unmoved when he heard this. He said calmly, "You led tens of thousands of Di people to attack the northern border just to get rid of the thorn in your side; you instigated Liu Hanhong to attack Yang Xingmi, and persuaded Zhang Quanyi to attack Zhu Quanzhong, deliberately provoking the Central Plains to kill each other. Is this your Li's good strategy to pacify the world?"
Hearing this, the man in black robe narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling confused and uncertain.
The things Zhu Qia mentioned were all things he secretly instructed his disciples to do, and the things were carried out very secretly. Why would this sloppy Taoist priest in front of him know so clearly
However, right now, it is more important to seize the Mandate of Heaven. Who says that the Li Dynasty will only last a few hundred years
Now that he has escaped from that general's soul space and returned to the dynasty he is familiar with, he will never watch the Li world fall into the hands of others.
"These vassal states have been scheming against each other and attacking each other. I am just using a small trick to speed up their demise. What's wrong with that?" The man in black robe gave a rare explanation.
"Humph, what a joke. Even if all the feudal lords in the world deserve to die, what about the common people? Have you ever thought about them?"
"The Yellow River is flooding, and the people in the Central Plains are already suffering. You are adding fuel to the fire. With your disregard for the people, the Li family will never be restored." Zhu Qia looked directly into the other party's eyes and answered with great firmness.
Before Zhu Qia finished speaking, a violent and fierce aura spread out from the black-robed man not far away. He glared at me and growled with gnashed teeth, "Damn Taoist priest, are you deliberately going against me?"
“So what? As long as I am here, if you don’t retreat, I will spare your life even if I have to injure you severely. If you don’t believe me, just try it.” Facing the fierce man in black, Zhu Qia was not afraid and even directly declared that he would spare the other’s life.
The two of them had only fought a few quick rounds, and Zhu Qia had already inflicted a minor injury on his opponent. If the fight continued, the man in black might really be defeated.
Faced with Zhu Qia's fierceness, the man in black robe's eyes flickered. On one side was the fate of the dynasty, and on the other was his own life. How could he be willing to accept this
However, it was useless to play with his life. After a long time, he finally gave up on snatching the so-called "fate" and left a message in a sinister tone: "You stinking Taoist priest, just wait. I will never give up."
Before he finished his words, a black shadow was seen quickly fleeing into the distance, and in an instant, it disappeared from everyone's sight.
Not until they could no longer see the other party did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. This man in black was too terrifying. If Zhu Qia was not here, everyone here would probably be torn into pieces in an instant.
Everyone relaxed and slowly looked towards where Zhu Li was.
But at this moment, the light curtain was no longer there, and the scene that came into everyone's eyes made them tremble in their hearts.
Yuchi Jin lay peacefully on the brocade cushion, her chest rising and falling steadily, like a sleeping queen. Yes, she was a queen. With the heart of a blue dragon, she gave people the aura of a queen.
On the rubble pile to one side of the brocade mat, a Taoist with a high bun was holding Zhu Li's head with his hands, with a sad face, immersed in sorrow.
Zhu Li, who was in the Taoist's arms, was as pale as paper. He was completely silent, and his green clothes were all blood red, like a corpse bathed in blood.
