There is no strong support outside and there are injuries inside.
Zhu Li was extremely anxious and at a loss as to what to do.
How he wanted to rush forward immediately and rescue Zhu Ya from the darkness; but the cruel reality made him powerless.
It was with this kind of mood that he became anxious and uneasy unconsciously.
He desperately hoped to dispel the inky darkness and see if Zhu Ya was safe.
Just when this urgent desire reached a certain level, a mysterious force suddenly surged in the boundless space, it was an illusory force.
As soon as this mysterious power appeared, it rushed towards Zhu Li's heart.
Energy is mysterious, colorless and invisible, so ethereal and elusive that people cannot feel its existence, as if it does not exist at all.
This is the power of desire, this is the power of persistence, it comes without reason, but it does exist.
The Zhu Li in the past did not possess such ability. Could this be the so-called power without beginning
So, what is the power without beginning
There is an old saying: Tao comes from no beginning and ends.
The Buddha also said that things are born from causes and conditions and also destroyed by causes and conditions, and that "causes" are something that always come and go without you noticing.
From this perspective, the origin and extinction of cause and effect also have no beginning and no end.
The power without beginning is close to Tao and similar to Dharma.
According to ancient legends, those ancestors who had attained enlightenment were able to make things happen as they spoke. This shows that the power without beginning is an ability that only those who have attained enlightenment and become saints can control.
Zhu Li is just an ordinary person, but because of the so-called dragon wood, he has gained the ability to use this power that is close to Taoism. Is it a blessing or a curse
Of course, we don’t have time to discuss this issue now.
Due to his urgent desire to rescue his adopted second brother, Zhu Li unknowingly gathered an inexplicable force in his heart.
This power is unknown, but it exists.
The invisible force gathered very quickly. In just a moment, Zhu Li's heart was filled with this inexplicable power.
Just as this unknown force, which came from nowhere and gathered together, accumulated to its peak, it burst out instantly because Zhu Li was eager to dispel the darkness and find out Zhu Ya's current situation.
Coming without form, going without trace, sending and receiving by the heart, this should be the beginningless energy mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas; when that kind of energy was released, Zhu Li was surprised to realize the existence of this energy.
It was a long story, coming and going so quickly, but in fact it was just a matter of Zhu Li's thoughts.
However, after releasing that kind of energy, Zhu Li immediately had a feeling of heart failure and being hollowed out; that feeling was empty and lifeless, as if he had no interest in anything anymore.
Could it be that this is the price to pay for using a higher power that cannot be controlled
This question arose in Zhu Li's heart, but it was destined that no one would explain it to him.
Looking at the place covered by the black curtain, the old priest in the darkness, like a ghost in the midnight, had already sneaked up to Zhu Ya.
Zhu Ya, who suddenly entered into darkness, knew nothing about all this.
Looking at the Han general in front of him who had a confused look on his face and was in a daze like a fool, Qiu Gu snorted coldly in his heart, and a hint of disdain quietly emerged in his heart.
For him, it was easy to catch such a stupid young man.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the old man was filled with murderous intent; however, due to his disdain for Zhu Ya, he did not even bother to condense the giant bone hand.
He just stretched out his big hand which was as dry as a bird's claw, wanting to strangle Zhu Ya to death silently to relieve the anger in his heart.
But at this moment, the inky black curtain suddenly disappeared completely; yes, it disappeared inexplicably without a trace, leaving no trace.
This sudden change made Qiu Gu, who was controlling the behind-the-scenes, stunned immediately.
He has been active in Konoha Mountain for so many years, and his unique skill, Black Prison, has never been broken by anyone. As long as he does not disperse it on his own initiative, others have no way to break it.
Even Liu Haichan from Yanshan, a master who was equally skilled as him, would be trapped for a while once he fell into his black prison.
But today, he clearly did not disperse the Black Prison, and his own Black Prison disappeared inexplicably. How could he not be shocked
At this time, a shocking scene appeared where the two men were confronting each other.
Zhu Ya was seen standing there in a daze, seemingly very curious and interested in the phenomenon of black and white transformation.
Right behind Zhu Ya, there stood an old priest with a strong skeleton, with his bird claws stretched out, as if he wanted to grab Zhu Ya; but because his unique skill was broken, he was stunned there, with an expression of disbelief, astonishment and confusion on his face.
As if he finally realized something was wrong, Zhu Ya turned his head suddenly and saw Qiu Skull standing in a daze, with his bird claws stretched out, looking stunned.
When did this old guy come behind me
Although he was young, Zhu Ya knew that the other party had run silently behind him with the intention of doing something bad to him.
As soon as he realized the other party's sinister intentions, he let out a strange cry and shouted, "You old thief, you actually hid behind me, what do you want to do?"
"You are such a bad guy, I will kill you with my sword."
Before he finished shouting, he suddenly swung the Overlord Spear in his hand, like a pillar of heaven, tearing through space, shattering the airflow, and smashing it down on Qiu Skull's head.
The wheel gun is like stepping on the sea, and the dancing gun is like collapsing the sky.
Coupled with Zhu Ya's unparalleled strength, the gun whistled like a vast ancient snake, pouncing straight towards Qiu Kuxiao.
Qiu Gu, who was in a state of shock, came to his senses only after hearing the sharp whistling sound of the wind.
With his skills at this level, if Qiu Gu had directly fought against Zhu Ya, he would naturally not be afraid of the opponent; but just now, he was in shock and his reaction was naturally half a beat slow.
It was precisely because of this negligence that he was forced to fight hastily and took Zhu Ya's powerful blow head-on.
"Pong"
With a sound of collision, the old man with a skeleton retreated rapidly, dragging his feet on the ground like the tail of a galloping horse.
At the same time, the old fellow's face turned pale. It was obvious that he had suffered a loss in the previous fight, and the breath in his body became disordered.
"You old thief, where are you going!" After gaining the upper hand with one shot, Zhu Ya was unwilling to give up. If it weren't for the old guy in front of him, he might have killed Mu Chen long ago. He killed two people in one battle, and they were two powerful generals. It would be so face-saving for him to mention it to his elder brother later.
It was all because of this old thief who ruined his good deeds. Naturally, Zhu Ya was full of resentment.
Following a shout, a ray of golden light appeared, as fast as thunder, like a river hanging upside down in the sky, streaking across a golden streak, and immediately chasing after the violently retreating Qiu Skull.
While Zhu Ya was chasing, a huge pale bone claw suddenly appeared. As soon as it appeared, the bone claw brought with it a whistling wind and attacked Zhu Ya without hesitation.
"boom"
The space was shaking violently, and the surroundings were swaying; the wind was raging and the air currents were running wildly.
Just as the hurricane was raging, a pitch-black curtain appeared out of nowhere again, like thick black smoke, rolling in and instantly submerging Zhu Ya in it.
Using the same trick again, the skeleton retreated violently, unwilling to let Zhu Ya take the upper hand.
Although he was shocked and suspicious that the Black Prison was broken into, it didn't mean that he was easy to mess with.
As soon as he saw the Black Prison engulfing Zhu Ya, Qiu Gu quickly stabilized his body and immediately prepared to shoot out, rush into the Black Prison, and kill that stupid boy Zhu Ya.
The disappearance of Black Prison just now made him think it was an accident; it was definitely an accident, and he couldn't think of any other reason.
But at the moment when the Black Prison emerged, Zhu Li, who was standing in the Heshuo shooting and concentrating on the battle situation, immediately became worried, and once again eagerly hoped that Zhu Ya could turn the danger into blessing and return safely.
As soon as this feeling emerged in his heart, the ethereal and invisible mysterious power gathered again, instantly filled to the peak, and then immediately released.
Just when Qiu Gu stabilized his body and was about to shoot out into the Black Prison, the pervasive black curtain suddenly dissipated again, as if it had never appeared.
When such a situation happened again, Qiu Gu's expression changed drastically with horror.
"Who, who is making trouble?" The old man finally panicked. If the first time was an accident, but this accident happened twice in a row, it didn't make sense.
"Which senior is passing by? Please come out and see me." Qiu Gu, who was in panic, naturally thought that there was a master hiding in the dark, helping Zhu Ya, which was why his Black Prison was dissipated frequently.
However, according to his reasoning, it does make some sense.
Yanshan Liu Haichan is a master at the same level as him, but he doesn't have such mysterious means. He broke into his Black Prison silently. The person in the dark must be a senior.
"You old thief, what are you yelling about?" As soon as the conspiracy emerged, it disappeared without a trace; Zhu Ya was naturally happy.
Although the sight of black and white reversal was interesting to him, it made him very uncomfortable, so it was naturally better for him to see with his two eyes.
As soon as he was able to see his surroundings clearly, he saw Qiu Ku, who looked terrified and yelling at the air. He was very confused and naturally asked a question.
Although he was puzzled, he had no intention of giving up. With his spear as fast as lightning and as quick as a running arrow, Zhu Ya launched an attack towards Qiu Gu again without any hesitation.
But at the same time Zhu Ya attacked, Zhu Li, who was standing in the distance, frowned; he had already felt the power of that infinite energy and the initial method of using it.
In short, wherever the thought comes, that ability can be stimulated instantly.
However, the use of this kind of eternal power is not without its drawbacks. Every time Zhu Li uses it, he feels as if everything is empty and life is meaningless.
This is an extremely negative and pessimistic mood.
Being immersed in this kind of emotion frequently will inevitably affect a person's state of mind. A good person can be driven crazy and want to die by that kind of atmosphere.
Using that kind of ability with such drawbacks is definitely not a good thing for Zhu Li.
Just imagine, the citizens of Wuqi country were infertile and immortal, but later disappeared. Why did they disappear
Perhaps, it was precisely because of the frequent use of the Wood of Unenlightenment that brought them such negative effects that, as time went by, they all committed suicide one by one.
Although this is just a speculation, it is definitely possible.
Moreover, every time this ability is used, it not only has negative effects, but also brings symptoms of mental weakness and heart failure. Under such symptoms, people live like zombies and become even more boring.
After realizing the disadvantages, Zhu Li did not want to use this ability frequently, but the situation he faced forced him to use it.
For Qiu Gu, Black Prison is his unique skill, which he can use without limit; and if Zhu Li wants to help Zhu Ya dispel the influence of Black Prison, he has to rely on Wu Shi's ability.
If this continues, Zhu Li's final outcome, even if he doesn't die from exhaustion, is that he will go crazy under the influence of such negative emotions.
Considering this, Zhu Li couldn't help but wonder, could this ability be used directly on the other party
As soon as an idea comes to mind, Zhu Li does it. This is his habit.
Just as Qiu Skull was shouting in suspicion, and just as Zhu Ya took advantage of the situation to rush towards the old priest, the abundant energy in Zhu Li's heart disappeared in an instant. This time, its target was obviously to rush towards the old priest.
At this moment, Zhu Ya's spear was like a dragon flying in the sky, whizzing down from the air and piercing straight into Qiu Gu's chest.
The frightened old priest was in no mood to fight with him. He was worried that someone was helping the other party in secret, and he had already begun to think of retreating.
Facing Zhu Ya's sharp shot, the old priest didn't even look at it, but condensed a huge bone hand and instantly grabbed the Overlord Spear.
It was obvious that Qiu Gu had no intention at all when he made this move.
Ninety-nine percent of his mind was focused on sensing the darkness, but he still couldn't find any trace of the so-called "master", which made him even more horrified.
Of course, the sensing ability of the environment is so strong that, to put it bluntly, even if there are two mosquitoes two or three miles away, the old guy can watch a live pornographic show for free if he wants.
With such a powerful sense, he still couldn't find any trace of the "master" in the dark. How could he not be horrified? What's more, he had already determined that there must be a master in the dark, otherwise, who could break his black prison.
At this time, his gaze had already turned to the location of Yelu Shilu and others, and his intention to retreat was very obvious.
But at this moment, Qiu Gu, who had already begun to think of retreating, suddenly bent down. For no apparent reason, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The feeling was as if someone had suddenly shot an arrow through his heart, and his entire body suddenly spasmed and bent in pain.
Beads of sweat the size of beans suddenly overflowed all over the old face. The skeleton, with its body bent like a river shrimp, could no longer spare a trace of mind to control the giant white bone hand that was condensed.
The giant bone hand that was flying in the air suddenly lost the control of the skull, and suddenly it dimmed and dissipated in an instant like snow scattered on the water.
At this moment, Zhu Ya, with the Overlord Spear in his hand, galloped like a dragon and roared like a tiger, passed through the dissipating giant bone hand, and instantly rushed to the side of Qiu Skull.
"Puff"
There was a clear sound of a sharp weapon passing through the body.
Zhu Ya thrust his spear into Qiu Gu's shoulder without any force. With his divine power, the Overlord Spear pierced through the opponent's shoulder in an instant, and the bloody spear tip emerged from the opponent's back.
There is no need to think about it. Such a piercing would definitely shatter Qiu Ku's arm bone.
The bone-eating pain immediately diverted the old priest's pain; under the severe injury, he suddenly raised his head, staring at Zhu Ye with a pair of bloodshot old eyes viciously.
That look was as if Zhu Ya had cheated on him; at the same time, Qiu Skull instantly waved his dry bird claws and slapped Zhu Ya hard.
"Pong"
The Overlord Spear pierced Qiu Gu's body, and Zhu Ya naturally came in front of Qiu Gu; at such a close distance, with Zhu Ya's skills, he had no way to avoid the opponent's attack.
Qiu Gu's strikes were accurate and in an instant Zhu Ya was knocked flying along with his gun.
Zhu Li, who was standing far away and saw all of this, shouted loudly as soon as he saw Qiu Gu was seriously injured: "Cheng Huaixin."
"I'm here." Hearing Zhu Li's call, Cheng Huaixin bowed without thinking.
"Immediately lead a group of Yue cavalry, go around behind Yelu Shilu, and cut off his retreat." Zhu Li looked at the battlefield and gave the order with a cold face.
"Yes." Cheng Huaixin did not dare to question Zhu Li's order at all. He immediately took the order and turned away.
"Jing Ming!"
"I am here."
Ever since Zhu Li woke up, Jing Ming no longer had to carry her on his back; but this loyal man, together with another ghost guard leader, Wang Chong, still stayed by Zhu Li's side.
Upon hearing Zhu Li's order, Jing Ming quickly responded.
"Can you still fight?" Zhu Li looked at the other party and asked in a gentle voice.
"General, don't worry. I am only slightly injured. It will not be a problem for me to lead the troops to attack." Jing Ming replied quickly with confidence.
"Okay, you immediately lead a group of Yue cavalry and go around the rear of Yelu Xiadi and Puguzhi to cut off their retreat." Upon hearing that Jing Ming still had the ability to fight, Zhu Li was very excited and immediately gave instructions.
"promise"
Although they experienced life and death during this journey north, they completely disrupted the Khitan's deployment; the palace troops originally stationed around Shangjing were all lured out by the Wolf Guards and dragged away.
Internal strife broke out among the Khitans because of the bad conduct of Yelu Huage, which led to the current internal emptiness of Shangjing.
This is a God-given opportunity. If he doesn't take advantage of it to do something, he would be really sorry for the chance God has given him.
“Wang Chong!”
"I'm here!" Wang Chong responded quickly, "Don't worry, General. I'm just a little injured like Commander Jing. I will have no problem leading the troops to attack."
Without Zhu Li asking, Wang Chong immediately explained.
"Okay, you will immediately lead a group of sword and shield soldiers, along with more than a thousand archers, to attack from the side to help Yue Yun and get rid of Yelu Xiadi and his men as soon as possible."
"Yes." Jing Ming immediately took the order and left.
"The rest of you, come with me to meet Yu Yue from Khitan." Zhu Li greeted everyone confidently.
