Hongqiao Town
The drizzle is falling, and the mountains are filled with mist. The small town is at the foot of Qixuan Mountain, which is the only way to enter the mountain. It is a bit quiet today, and dogs barking can be heard from time to time, but it is even quieter.
From time to time, a few men in raincoats stopped at the intersection and looked around.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. In the mist-like rain, these cavalrymen were all dressed in coir raincoats. They seemed to have been strictly trained and their formations were basically maintained.
Xie Chengdong rode towards the town on horseback. He looked very young, but his eyebrows were slightly raised, showing a cold look. His eyes were straight, his hand pressed on the cold hilt of the sword, thinking.
A winding river flows in front of the town. The rain hits the river and splashes the water. On the bank there are fishermen wearing raincoats fishing in the river. Everything is normal.
Xie Chengdong was followed by several captains. These captains all had a brave aura and looked around from time to time to check the situation.
Xie Chengdong's face was expressionless, and his heart was in turmoil.
"I still have feelings in King Lu's army, and I didn't have any whims on the way back to the mountain?" Xie Chengdong was surprised, his face became a little gloomy, and he crossed the bridge into the town.
At this time, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly came over him. Xie Chengdong's face changed drastically and he shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, everyone turns and retreats."
Following Xie Chengdong's words, the cavalryman just turned around without saying a word.
There was a continuous drizzle in the sky. Someone in the town saw Xie Chengdong turning around to escape. Fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded. Looking at this signal, not far from the town, a crowd of cavalry stood up. Pei Ziyun sighed: "Xie Chengdong , I don’t want to still feel it at this time.”
He laughed again: "Xie Chengdong, not only am I going to kill you today, but even Qi Xuanmen won't let you go. Where are you going to escape?"
After that, he waved his hand: "Taoist official, cast a spell!"
"Yes!" Dozens of Taoist officials responded to the order, and Zhang Ling was among them. Not only were all the dozen Taoist officials from the Central Daolu Department requisitioned, but all Taoist officials from nearby counties were also requisitioned, a total of seventy people. .
Following the Taoist magic, the spiritual light lit up in the hands of the Taoist official, and there was a "buzz" sound. These lights fell on the cavalry, and all the cavalry felt their whole bodies shaken and full of energy.
"Kill!" The horse's hooves stepped on the soil, and the cavalry formed three rows and rushed a few hundred meters away. The cavalry who had accumulated horsepower kept accelerating. The horse's hooves kicked up the slippery soil caused by the rain, and splashed on the armor. , rushed towards the enemy.
As soon as Xie Chengdong looked back, he saw the cavalry coming towards him. When the captain behind him saw it, he immediately changed his color and moved forward: "Zhenjun, the enemy is in a buff state and has accumulated horsepower. His speed is much faster than our long journey. This time But there is no way to escape.”
"Once they escape, they will all be hacked to death. The only way to survive is to resist."
Xie Chengdong was also resolute and decisive. Naturally, he knew that his horses were tired and he could not escape. He might as well fight while he had the remaining strength. He immediately ordered: "Concentrate immediately, form a formation, and prepare for a countercharge."
"Yes!" The horn sounded, and King Lu's cavalry also arranged in three rows in a short period of time. They slowly accelerated and ran for a while. The horses neighed and the hoofbeats sounded like thunder as they rushed over quickly.
Due to the rapid response from both sides, the entire earth trembled under the iron hooves!
Then, smoke and dust billowed, and they collided in the blink of an eye. The screams were filled with screams. At the moment of impact, there was a continuous muffled sound of flesh colliding, mixed with the crisp sound of broken bones, and dozens of people fell out.
"Poof!" The captain's spear instantly pierced an enemy soldier. The powerful momentum broke the enemy open, and blood spurted onto the bodies within this range.
In front of them, they were fighting desperately. Pei Ziyun and Xie Chengdong looked at each other with cold faces. Pei Ziyun's five hundred cavalry were blessed by Taoist officials and immediately suppressed Xie Chengdong's cavalry.
In just a few minutes, 70% of the fallen cavalry were King Lu's cavalry. Seeing that they were at a disadvantage, King Lu's army suddenly seemed to be stimulated. Several captains' eyes turned red and they shouted.
"Boom!" For a moment, the terrifying aura spread almost suffocatingly. The captain exuded an angry aura, and the spear light suddenly danced, and a sharp whistle came out, covering up the screams.
A simple and violent attack, a flat cut, the smell of blood rose into the sky, five or six imperial cavalry flew out immediately, their chests were dented and they were no longer alive.
"Kill!" Not just one place, but at least three captains let out deep roars. In an instant, blood mist flew everywhere, and with just one breath, more than ten people were killed.
"What is this?" Pei Ziyun felt for a moment that these three people seemed to have turned into peerless ferocious beasts. This was at least the body that laid the foundation for Dzogchen.
"No, it is stronger than the foundation of Dzogchen. This fully unleashes the potential of the human body, and it is even burning, burning at the expense of lifespan."
"Impossible, no one would train like this."
With his keen eyesight, he could even see a small amount of blood oozing out from the skin every time the captain slashed. This was such a violent action that the skin was torn. In the blink of an eye, dozens more people were slashed in the direction of the spear. kill.
"Is this aura the evil spirit from the mysterious space last time?" Even Da Xu's five hundred elite cavalry, blessed with Taoism, could not gain the slightest upper hand in the face of this. With the bloodshed and killing, King Lu The army became more and more courageous as they fought. Wherever they went, flesh and blood flowed with the rain. Some fallen corpses were immediately trampled with flesh and blood flying everywhere. Pei Ziyun suddenly understood: "No wonder Uncle Zhongqin was defeated so quickly."
"This is not only a strategic failure, but also a tactical failure."
"Such a demonic spirit is unbelievable."
"I originally thought that the Earth Immortal was determined to kill Xie Chengdong because the Earth Immortal himself was narrow-minded and intolerant of others, and if Xie Chengdong wanted to become an Earth Immortal, he had to seize the cave."
"The Earth Immortal doesn't know that Xie Chengdong already has the Blessed Land of Cave Heaven, so he is bound to be at odds with each other."
"The basis of my calculations lies on this."
"But now it seems that this evil spirit is also a major reason - when did King Lu get connected with this evil spirit? There is no description of this in the previous life!"
For a moment, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but feel panic. He calmed down and looked at Xie Chengdong: "Xie Chengdong, what is your relationship with this evil spirit?"
In the distance, Xie Chengdong had no expression on his face, but in fact he was filled with despair. He knew all three captains, Zeng Zhongzhong, who lost his father at the age of three and his mother at the age of seven. His tribe forced him to commit suicide for property, and then he defected to the army. Promoted for meritorious service.
Huo Ziying was born as a soldier of King Lu. She didn't show much at first, but recently she gained the rank of captain.
Cai Lou, surrendered general.
These three people have little contact with each other, but now this aura, violent and cruel, with a hint of animal shape, must come from the same place. This is the first time Xie Chengdong has seen it in person, and he suddenly understands in his heart - King Lu's army has been victorious one after another, unexpectedly , but I feel uneasy. Now it seems that this is the reason.
But there is more confusion: "Although this energy is unfamiliar, it is somewhat familiar. What kind of power is this?"
I couldn't think of it for a moment, so I looked at the mountain again. He was a very smart man, and he suddenly understood: "Even if the master is jealous, they will not join forces with Pei Ziyun to kill me. This strange aura must be one of the main reasons."
He wanted to defend himself, but he knew that the Earth Immortal had already been suspicious, and he fired his bow without turning back. He suppressed his panic, took a deep look at the battlefield, and already had a plan.
Distant hillside
The drizzle hit the trees, and the wind blew through it, forming mist, which filled the air and made it look like a fairyland on earth.
There is a pavilion on the mountain with red pillars and black tiles. Couplets are engraved on the left and right sides of the pillars. There is only a stone table and chair in the pavilion, and there is a Taoist sitting there, who is the clone of the Earth Immortal.
At this time, the Earth Immortal clone was already extremely old, with wrinkles on his forehead and white hair. Two Taoists stood on the left and right, one of whom was Yu Kan. He followed him respectfully and looked down the mountain.
Xie Pei's army fought fiercely. Among Xie Chengdong's King Lu's cavalry, several captains were invincible and gradually drove the imperial army back.
However, the Taoist officials of the court kept taking action, casting spells and blessings. The leading general roared repeatedly and took the lead in a bloody battle with the captain, but it was difficult to win and could only resist.
The Earth Immortal looked at it and saw that the aura of King Lu's army was filled with evil energy. These evil spirits were like tentacles, constantly twisting and circling in it.
"It's true." The Earth Immortal sneered and looked towards the imperial army. Murderous intent rushed out from the sky above the imperial army, but it was pure.
Killing, bloodshed, suppression, popular morale, and official morale are all integrated into one, in response to destiny, it is still the military morale of a true dragon's subordinates.
The Earth Immortal made a distinction in his mind, but he did not make a conclusion at this time and asked: "Yu Kan, you have been dealing with this kind of evil worship these days, can you tell whether it is this kind?"
"Yes!" Yu Kan looked at it, gritted his teeth, and said coldly, "Zhenjun, you are not wrong. It is this kind of evil spirit that penetrated our sect, causing the loss of five elders and more than ten core disciples."
"Really? I was originally optimistic about Xie Chengdong, but I didn't expect him to be such a person. This kind of subversive traitor, whether intentional or not, seems to be the only way to get rid of him." The Earth Immortal nodded, originally leaning towards Xie Chengdong, but I don't want the Xie family's father and son to become a scourge to the family.
After thinking about it here, he looked towards Pei Ziyun not far away. Seeing that neither Pei Ziyun nor Xie Chengdong entered the battlefield, he couldn't help but point and smile: "Look at these two thieves, they are really careful. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."
Then he turned around and asked another Taoist: "Have you brought all the physical bodies I want?"
"Yes, True Lord, all the physical bodies you want have been brought and prepared. However, they are all stained with evil spirits. You must be careful when using them."
"Humph, these evil worshipers may be infected with you, but they are no problem to me!" After hearing this, the Earth Immortal clone took a deep breath, and for a moment, the white hair turned into jet black, the wrinkles gradually faded, and the face The upper body was smooth, and with just a few breaths, the whole person became the peak of about twenty years old.
Yu Kan and another elder lowered their heads, and their hearts trembled. They knew that if the body's potential was stimulated in this way, even if they didn't fight, the body would definitely die when the return of light was over.
Of course, in the eyes of the Earth Immortal, this body is just a tool, and there is no sense of pity at all. He just moves forward. This step is very fast, and he reaches the bottom of the mountain in just a few breaths.
The rain falls, and you can't get close. It slides and spreads around you. The whole person seems to be floating in the dust, and seems to be the only bright spot in the dark and gloomy rain.
No matter how ruthless or calculating, this is the charm of the Earth Immortal.
