Although the final battle was initially calculated to be tomorrow, everyone knew that tomorrow was just a pre-judgment. The Battle of Heavy Liao was like a fort that had already ignited the line of fire, and it would explode the roar of war at any time.
Therefore, when Gu Mang summoned the army to gather in a hurry, no one was surprised. In fact, some people had already felt that they had come to the school grounds the moment they saw the strange light in the sky.
They all know that there is no sleep tonight, and the first war will be on this night. If they can kill the blood beast at the beginning of its rebirth, then the Liao Army will retreat, if not...
"No can't."
—This is what their coach Gu Mang said. When he said this, he didn't mean any order, but a promise. He is not that tall, and his past sufferings have ravaged him too thin, but he still looks energetic when he is hunting. He said to them:
"I have stood in this position, and fought with my brothers thirty-nine times, big and small. This is the fortieth time."
"Every time before the war, I will give you the same promise, I said - I will take you home. I have kept this promise thirty-eight times, the last time was in Fengming Mountain, I broke my promise, I broke it, I didn't do it. I left 70,000 people on Fengming Mountain, and I even erected a monument for them.
When Gu Mang said these words, he held his hands behind his back. He was full of anger, and he tried his best to bring some freedom and anger that has passed away.
But Mo Xi was standing beside him, and Murong Lian was standing beside him, and they all saw the tears in his eyes.
Gu Mang's eyes were so bright, he said, "I have fulfilled my promise thirty-eight times, but I have missed an appointment. Today is the fortieth time. If you believe me, go with me, listen to my orders, and finish the fight with me. The little milk dog that was born, and then - I'll take you home!"
I will take you home.
With seventy thousand dead souls.
With eternal peace.
As long as you are willing to believe me again, I Gu Mang, whether dead or alive, will fulfill my promise. Excuse me today, call me "Gu Shuai".
I will take you home.
The soldiers below did not speak, their faces were raised, and they looked silently and solemnly at their Lord of the Northern Army, their imperial warrior, and the scarred coach.
Suddenly, the light of Jiaguang suddenly rose, the sword and halberd slammed into the ground, and the mighty voice seemed to be slammed from the depths of the hinterland, oscillating between the heaven and the earth from thousands of chests—
"Life and death together!"
Snow waves swelled like waves, and the vast soup spread all over the land of Kyushu.
"Life and death together..."
When Mo Xi was young, because of the lessons he received since he was a child, he thought that a state without a ruler would be impossible.
However, when Chonghua lost Murong Chen at this time, he was condensed into one place like never before. The calamity is like a dagger, which will make people feel the pain of peeling off the flesh, but it can also wake up many people who were obsessed with sleeping in the past. Let people see the hearts around them who did not know good and evil before.
The soldiers are sensible, and the armor is light and scales, and they are on the expedition. A sword with a handle, a spirit horse carried their masters from the ground, these monks gathered like stars into a galaxy, the more they gathered, the wider they were, and they rushed to the outer suburbs.
Suddenly Murong Lian gave a low "Huh" and said, "What's going on down there?"
Gu Mang looked down, but saw that the Chonghua city gate was open, and under their army of Yujian, countless bamboo warriors and alien beasts were running on the dust under their command, following the main army to the decisive battle.
It's Yue Chenqing!
There are also many monks, nobles, and civilians who have never joined the army in Chonghua. At this moment, under the spontaneous instructions of the city, they all rushed out of the city and rushed to the army camp of Liao Kingdom.
Gu Mang was stunned for a moment and looked at the spectacle he had never seen before. This river has no distinction between Jingwei and Wei, and there is no difference between the poor and the lowly. They converge together and rush towards the enemy.
"I was wrong," he murmured.
Murong Lian: "What?"
"This time, they don't need me to bring them home." Gu Mang said, his eyes were slightly red, "Because this is our home." After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the shore of the mallard water, which was not far away. The biggest barrier to protect the capital of Chonghua is the Imperial City Barrier. Behind the transparent barrier, there are hundreds of thousands of Liao Kingdom Demon Cultivators and the blood demon beasts that are about to be reborn.
Gu Mang snapped his fingers together, speeding up Yu Jian's speed and rushing towards the river of decisive battle.
In the night, they could see Liao Kingdom's Gorefiend Rebirth Array more and more clearly, absorbing the lives of sacrifices at the other end of the river, and at the same time bursting out with more and more brilliance. A huge translucent phantom has already risen in the center of the magic circle. It looks like a high mountain and a strange peak. It is the blood demon beast in the rebirth.
Gu Mang hovered on the edge of the barrier of the imperial capital, hunting, looking up at the prototype of this giant beast. It was at this moment that he felt a pain in the side of his skull, and the phantom of Shen Tang from a hundred years ago flashed before his eyes again.
Hundreds of years ago, the battle of life and death was the same as today, and it was also by the water, by the river.
Shen Tangjian lowered her eyebrows and stared at Hua Po'an coldly: "You are planning too much, how can I tolerate you."
Gu Mang closed his eyes because of the severe pain on the side of his skull, but this time was different from the previous ones. Having recovered all his memory and consciousness, he knew very well why he could see the figure of Shen Tang a hundred years ago—
The root of this connection originated from five years ago. He was ordered to enter Liao to investigate the secrets of the black magic in the Liao Kingdom, especially the secret techniques related to blood beasts. It took him a long time to finally gain the trust of the highest guard of blood beasts and establish a personal relationship with him.
During that time, he often visited the remaining essence of blood beasts. Even though the blood beast was still a fragment of silver mist at that time, its soul, strength, memory... were all incomplete, but Gu Mang still felt its most powerful and evil spirit power.
"Hey, Brother Gu, look, our country has been trying to reawaken it all these years. As long as it returns to its state, the entire Kyushu will be firmly in the hands of Daliao!"
Gu Mang stared at the cloud of silver mist and smiled calmly, "Yes."
What the garrison said is not wrong at all. If the blood beasts are allowed to return to the world, it will be a catastrophe. Even if all the 27 countries of cultivation are united to fight against it, there will definitely be thousands of sacrifices.
At that time, he had not yet fully discovered the true intentions of his lord, but he already vaguely felt that no matter which country or individual owned a terrifying weapon like a blood beast, it was extremely dangerous. He can temporarily believe in your Majesty and help your Majesty try to grab the power of the blood beasts, but he will not give this power to Murong Chen so easily.
Even from the first time he saw the blood monster Yinwu in the Liao Kingdom secret room, he was wondering if there was any better way to ensure that things were foolproof.
Even if one day, the blood beast really returns to the world, no matter whether it is resurrected by Liao Kingdom and loyal to Liao, or re-engraved by Chonghua and loyal to Chonghua, he will have a way to end it with the smallest sacrifice.
This is the most comprehensive way.
During the days and nights of Liao, Gu Mang made many assumptions and speculations.
In the end, there was only one way left for him:
Shared heart.
In fact, there is nothing complicated, it is not a great spell. Speaking of which, his original purpose of creating this spell was still childish and naive.
He once had a beautiful vision, and even if he knew that the future was short, he hoped that he could spend a lifetime with his younger brother. Just like what they said when they were half-joking, there is a home, three cats and dogs, and a peach tree in the yard—they get rid of their armor and return to the fields together, grow old together, and die together.
Although he knew that it was impossible, Gu Mang couldn't help but quietly created this technique of sharing one mind. Once this technique is performed, he can share his will with Mo Xi. As long as they are willing to each other, they can see the past in each other's life, and share each other's memories, emotions, wishes... and even life.
A magic spell that requires infinite trust and intimacy on both sides, ideal to the point of absurdity.
Gu Mang thought it was absolutely useless, and he was just playing around, chatting to pin some of his beautiful illusions.
But when standing in front of the blood beast spirit body, he suddenly understood—
It turns out that the destiny has already been destined, and the destination of the cohesive art is actually not for company, but for separation.
In the end, he took advantage of the weakness of the blood beast, and quietly entered this secret method into its spiritual body. At the moment when he showed his common heart, he felt a maddening flow of evil and evil pouring into his blood.
That is the dirty life of blood beasts.
With countless sacrifices, sphenoid beauty seats, and the souls of evil beasts forged by the lives of ordinary humans - symbiosis in his body.
At that moment, he seemed to have become it. He saw how it was forged by flowers. A hundred years ago, the canyon was used as the furnace, the thunder was used as the fire, and tens of thousands of living people were sacrificed. This monstrous beast was created.
Shout out to the cloud.
He is it, and it is he.
With the eyes of blood beasts, he saw all kinds of past. He saw Hua Po An standing in front of Refining Demon Peak in the past, and saw the gloomy and bewitching face a hundred years ago.
—
"The king of Chonghua made me a slave, and made him a nobleman of the Murong family. It's really ridiculous!"
Hua Po'an once murmured to the blood beast that was taking shape, pouring all his hatred into it.
"Since I've been sensible, I've been very curious, why am I a scumbag who serves others, while some people are born rich? Those bad old men told me that this is destiny, and that's what my destiny should be."
"But am I really meant to be like this? I'm more diligent than those nobles, and I'm more talented than all of them. What kind of destiny is this? Isn't it strange?"
Hua Duan's face is so distorted.
Only such hatred can breed such evil beasts.
He said to the blood beasts who were still pregnant: "Jingchen, do you know... During those years as a slave, I read books in Chonghua's academy, and dug the roots of this state little by little. I want to know why the surnamed Murong is a nobleman, and the rest of us are servants... I really found the reason, but that reason makes me extremely angry!"
"It turns out that at the beginning of the founding of China, the original two brothers served as commanders together. They led their subordinates to suppress Fanbang and established this country. They cut the people of Fanbang who refused to submit to slavery and deprived them of their status as slaves. They cultivate the power to prevent these people from rising up and overthrowing the state they built in the future.”
"But the slaughter did not end. One mountain does not allow two tigers. After a brief period of stability, the brothers and sisters who lived and died together fell into a deadlock over who would take over the throne. An internal fight, intrigue, and finally the elder brother lost his way and became a The defeated general. So his younger brother cut off all his crony, and the heirs were also treated as the most despicable slaves, abolished the spiritual core, branded the slave mark, and never turned over."
"I'm a descendant of that line - very unwilling, isn't it?"
He sneered: "It is clear that I have the same blood as Murong's, because of the defeat of one person, the selfishness of one person, and the dispute between the two people, I have been reduced to the point where no one even knows my own name." Po An sensible said, "It's you, can you calm down?"
The blood beast pure dust burst into a fire in the furnace, as if answering his question. The firelight illuminated Hua Duo's dark eyes even brighter.
The world seems to be destroyed in those crazy eyes.
"I've never been reluctant to live such a life. So even at the beginning, I had a plan for the spirit core to run wild. I figured out Shen Tang, that ridiculous person, who was soft-hearted, he would definitely not have the heart to kill me, and would even think that I was good-natured. Pitiful, plead for mercy to Your Majesty on my behalf, and allow me to make an exception to repair."
The firelight of Refining Devil Mountain is like the tongue of a devil, rushing out from hell, dancing frantically, reflecting the dark face of the past - desire, hatred, ambition...
Gu Mang saw that it was the blood beast's first impression of the world, and Hua Po An poured it into it.
"Jingchen, I smelt you, just want you to take back Chonghua for me."
"This country, I can also be the king!"
It is a vicious beast forged by hatred and desire. The flesh and blood of the dead became its flesh and blood, and Hua Po An’s ambition became its ambition. Now it empathizes with Gu Mang for its evil. Pressed into hell.
Gu Mang was extremely disgusted.
But he still insisted on being with it.
only for…
The horn sounded, and the drums of war thundered. Gu Mang turned his head and looked at Chonghua Haotangtang's army, his brother Pao Ze, those who had lived and died with him in the past, those who he had promised to bring them home, those who called him Gu Shuai. .
Stars of fire fluttered on the flaming battlefield, and his heart was surging, carrying a secret that no one knew - of course he could win, of course he could win.
In this world, who else knows blood beasts better than him.
Even Hua Po An himself is only its master, not sharing soul and life with it.
"Yu Shouxiu, the left and right flanks reinforce the barrier of the imperial capital, each team is healed as an eye, the Pegasus battalion goes to the north camp of the Liao Army to disrupt the army formation, and the northern army follows me."
"Yes!"
Gu Mang narrowed his eyes and looked down at the Liao Army company camp with the sword reflecting the moon.
Across a majestic river and a barrier that connects the sky and the earth, the armies on both sides of Chong Liao are facing each other. Liao Kingdom had already prepared for the Chonghua meeting to attack at any time, so their assembly was not slow at all. Gu Mang looked at the fish-scaled armor underneath, and understood that as long as he led his army through this barrier, the fighting would begin. .
He took a deep breath, and under the bright moon in the sky, he said sternly, "Cross the barrier!"
"Yes!!"
Following this order, Chonghua cultivator swooped down from the sky like a hunting bird covering the sky, and the moment he passed through the barrier, the black magic spell that attacked the cultivator on the opposite side was like a rain of arrows flying in the sky, countless domesticated The black demon beasts were released from the beast-taming camp by them. The corpse dog with black wings and the demon falcon whose beak was full of venom slashed towards the Chonghua cultivator like arrows.
On the ground, the army of bamboo warriors led by Yue Chenqing was like a herd of horses migrating across the grassland, wading through the surging moat and mallard water, and dashing towards the Liao Army camp on the opposite bank.
Chonghua's vanguard army was like a sharp knife, and threw it fiercely at Liaojun's shield. Immediately after the shield protruded, it was the counter-kill confrontation of the Liao Kingdom attacking the monks. The roar was loud and blood was flying.
"Kill!"
Like countless meteors falling to the ground and fireworks in an instant, it was such a brutal battle, but under the velvet night, a magnificent and dazzling beauty was born for no reason.
The corpse soon soaked the banks of the mallow water into a rouge color. Gu Mang killed the demon bird that was flying towards him with a bayonet, and said sharply, "Don't love the position, follow me to the smelting place of blood beasts!"
Next to the smelting ground of the blood beasts, there is a huge sacrifice cage, which is densely detained with the sphenoid beauty seats that the Liao Kingdom has captured and cultivated over the years. They were escorted one by one by Liaoren and walked towards the central magic furnace, like iron ore for swords, marble... source of power.
"Uuuu... mother..."
"I don't want to die...I don't want to die..."
These human sacrifices were crying and crying, but Liaoren didn't feel any compassion because of their pleading. They had already seen the young shadow of the blood beast and knew how it would be a vicious beast that could change the world. They shouted, pushed and urged, and sent these living people with some ancient demon blood in their bodies into the rolling furnace.
A beautiful and beautiful woman saw that it was her turn, and her eyes were filled with large tears. Due to her bloodline, her tears were golden—this was also the biggest proof of Liao Kingdom's search for the beauty seat over the years. He has blood in his body and tears in his eyes.
"Please let me go!" She suddenly collapsed and grabbed a Liao Xiu, "I'm pregnant, I want my child to survive... Please... Please..."
What responded to her was Liao Xiu's laughter: "It's better to be pregnant! The demonic energy of being pregnant is even greater! Hahahaha!!!"
The woman's eyes were full of tears, and in despair, a blue light suddenly fell from the sky, and a powerful enchantment rose to the ground, covering all the remaining beauties behind the enchantment. The woman was both surprised and delighted. She looked up and saw a group of Chonghua cultivators approaching with swords in the sky. The leader was in silver armor and black boots. His eyes were blue and bright, and he was hunting with red tassels on the top.
The blue and gold silk belt representing the blood of heroes and martyrs was worn upright under his forehead—it was Gu Mang, the son of Wang Shu and the patron of the Northern Army.
And beside him were Xi and Jun Moxi who were wearing black clothes with golden borders and their robes flying, and blue clothes with golden borders, looking at Shu Jun and Murong Lian frivolously.
"It's disgusting to use a living person to refine a beast." Murong Lian said, "It's worse than me, I'm convinced."
Mo Xi summoned Suiran, flew the snake into the air, and entrenched the black devil's cage trapping these human sacrifices, violently shaking it into pieces!
"Flee." He lowered his black eyes and said to the bewildered human sacrifices.
The sacrifices were stunned for a while, and suddenly they reacted. Like fish in a pond, they began to surging anxiously. Some people folded their hands, bowed to the sky and worshipped the ground, and shouted loudly. Mo Xi ordered a team of imperial guards to escort them to a safe place. All of a sudden, these people could be heard saying, "Thank you... Cultivation of Immortal Monarch..."
The pregnant beauty Xi repeatedly bowed, and was urged by Chonghua Yushouxiu to leave quickly, and with tears in her eyes, she looked back at them again, and then turned to leave.
However, just as Gu Mang suppressed this Liao Army with overwhelming force and released the human sacrifice, he suddenly heard a shrill and heaven-shattering music sound in the sky—
Gu Mang was the one who responded the fastest to this voice. He was shocked when he heard it, and raised his head suddenly: "Storm?!"
In the distance, a semi-voided figure approached, also holding a sword, standing high in the sky.
The man was dressed in white, and his clothes were open and unrestrained, and he held a rusty copper-colored magic weapon with white silk flying in his hand. He raised his face, holding a handsome face, black eyes shining, and a wild smile.
This time, even Mo Xi and Murong Lian were stunned.
"Gu Mang?!!"
The half-phantom standing on Yujian was actually Gu Mang! ! Moreover, it is a young, valiant Gu Mang who has not been tempered by any black demons!
"What, what's going on?" Murong Lian asked in shock.
But Mo Xi understood immediately after being stunned for a moment. His eyes were slightly red, staring at the figure of the old friend, and said in a low voice, "Jiumuqin..."
"what?"
"The nine-eyed qin of the national teacher of the Liao Kingdom." Mo Xi said, "There are nine eyes hidden in the qin, and each eye is the power of a monk." He said, his fingertips trembled slightly, sinking into his own palm.
The voice was suppressed to the point of inaudibility because of the heavy hatred: "This is just made by Gu Mang's stripped-down Chonghua technique."
Murong Lian: "!!!"
He turned his head to look at Gu Mang, but Gu Mang didn't have too much expression, as if "peeling" the two bloody and painful two, which meant that the skin and bones were cut open in the prison, the pain of spiritual power being pulled out, and the pain of being pulled out. It doesn't seem to matter. Gu Mang just stared at the semi-illusory "self" who was able to use Chonghua spells and summon Shenwu Storm.
For a moment, he said calmly: "It seems that although the national teacher is holding the rebirth ceremony of blood beasts in the dark, he can't sit still at this moment, and he actually sent me to deal with myself."
"… "
"I seem pretty handsome."
"..." Murong Lian said, "Generally speaking, a little worse than me."
Gu Mang smiled, and just as he was about to say something, he saw that "myself" raised the suona again, and pressed his fingertips against the suona eyes. Gu Mang couldn't be more clear about that posture. He immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted:
"All open up the sound barrier!"
The monks behind him acted according to the orders, but after all, not everyone was so fast. The formation was only halfway through, and "Gu Mang" blew the tune.
"what!"
Although the sound of the suona was thin, it penetrated the clouds and penetrated the sun, and instantly swept the entire army. Those who didn't have time to open the enchantment array let out a series of screams, suddenly fell from Yu Jian, and fell to the ground. Some were forced to bleed by the voice of Shenwu, and some were unconscious for a while.
Gu Mang cursed inwardly. Although he had regained his consciousness, his spiritual power could never be returned. All he could summon was a magic dagger, but although the dagger was powerful in a single fight, it was completely incomparable before the military formation. The sound of the storm.
The scene was chaotic in an instant, and at this moment, the Liaoguo Moxiu who had been suppressed violently fought back, and the battle situation was immediately overwhelmed from one side.
Some Liao Xiu caught up with the human sacrifices that fell at the end, grabbed the screaming sphenoid beauty seats one after another, and threw them into the spiritual power furnace one by one. The color of the molten flow in the furnace was already extremely bright, and in the rebirth position not far away, the phantom of the blood beasts became more and more distinct.
"Catch more! Catch some more!" a high-level Liao Xiu shouted almost frantically, "It's about to be reborn! It's about to be reborn! It's still a little bit!"
Mo Xi wanted to summon Tuntian to the world, but Tuntian's strength was too powerful. The number of times he could be summoned in a year was actually that many times, and he had already used it to the limit. Coupled with the previous confrontation with Murong Chen, the loss of swallowing the sky was too large, and at this time, he could not be summoned smoothly at once.
However, at this critical moment, Mo Xi heard another sound of breaking the formation behind him.
He turned his head abruptly, and Gu Mang also looked back in surprise.
The person who played this breaking music was... Murong Lian? ! !
