※※※※
Bingzhou Luoshan County is located in a deep mountain 7,000 miles north of the Tiebi Mountains.
Chu Ming's figure flashed, shuttling between the mountains and forests. Her sword energy spread out, sweeping away all the vegetation within a ten-mile radius along the way and turning it into powder.
Just a moment later, the target that Chu Ming was focused on lost the cover of vegetation and could no longer escape.
It let out a roar and pounced towards Chu Ming.
It was a second-grade lower-level ‘Red-Eyed Sword Mantis’. Like a fleeting shadow, it suddenly spanned three hundred feet and appeared in front of Chu Ming.
Those extremely sharp blade arms completely transcend the concepts of timing and Taixu.
But at this moment, pieces of mirror-like sword light flashed in front of Chu Ming.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The more than 300 slashes that the 'Red-Eyed Sword Mantis' made in one tenth of a breath were reflected by Chu Ming by nearly 70%, and in turn split the 'Red-Eyed Sword Mantis' and the void around it into thousands of pieces.
Remaining pieces.
Chu Ming watched as this second-grade subspecies divine insect was cut into tiny pieces, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, showing a hint of satisfaction.
This 'divine will touch the death knife' is really powerful, and when paired with a first-grade and upper-level martial arts body, it is absolutely unfavorable.
This 'Red-Eyed Sword Mantis' is a close bloodline of the divine insect 'Four-Armed Green Mantis'. It is also relatively difficult to deal with. It has superb escape skills and extremely high combat power. Many characters on the Heavenly Ranking may not be able to do anything when they encounter it.
Got it.
However, apart from spending a period of time in pursuit, she only spent one-tenth of her breath and over 300 turns to solve the problem.
"Come out."
When Chu Ming put the sword into its sheath, she made a neat and handsome move. At the same time, she turned her head and looked aside: "Wan Qi commanded me that your hiding method is not clever at all."
"It made the princess laugh."
With a clear laugh, a young warlock suddenly appeared high in the sky in the south.
He hung a hundred feet in the air and looked at Chu Ming in amazement: "In the past year, every time I see the princess, I have been shocked. In just one year, the princess has not only stepped into the first-class forest, but also has this sword skill.
It's getting more and more sophisticated, and those dozens of cuts just now really amazed me."
"It's all because of Your Majesty's love! With so many miraculous elixirs, if I can't enter the first level again, wouldn't I be living up to His Majesty's high hopes?"
Chu Ming's face was calm, and his eyes were indifferent: "And my martial arts cultivation was achieved quickly using medicine and the 'Martial Intention Soul Stone'. I know my own affairs, and I can't do anything with those first-level people who have truly cultivated."
Even compared to Wanqi's command, it is still far behind."
The Wanqi Luohu in front of her had recently become a confidant of the emperor, serving as the commander of Tianya's left wing and temporarily in charge of Tianya's capital.
Later, perhaps with the blessing of resources from the imperial court and Ouchi, his cultivation level also improved by leaps and bounds. He was already a second-grade high-level master, a top ten master on the Earth Ranking, and is expected to enter the top of the Heavenly Ranking in the future.
When Wanqi Luohu saw that she was in high spirits, her face glowed red. She was completely different from the cautious and trembling person she was two years ago.
He laughed secretly in his heart, but there was a look of admiration on his face: "I can't compare with the princess. The reason why the princess used this quick method to achieve physical strength was because she was ordered by your majesty, not because of her own actions."
Less than.
And although the princess's body is borrowed from foreign objects and the "Martial Spirit Soul Stone", the princess has done your best, no matter the strength, true essence, bloodline, etc., have been tempered to the extreme, even if compared with the real first-class
, is only inferior, far surpassing the previous figures in the palace.
It can be seen that the princess's skill is not easy to obtain. Moreover, the princess's 'Immortal Sun Sword' has clearly reached more than 20 levels. In addition, your divine will touches the death sword, and the princess's first-level skill
, enough to rank among the top thirty on the Heavenly Ranking.”
When Chu Ming heard what he said, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips again, and a slight smile appeared in her eyes. Apparently, she was quite impressed by Wanqi Luohu's words.
"Top 30 on the Heavenly List?"
She pressed the long knife with her hand and murmured softly, her eyes slightly gloomy: "But this is far from enough! Chu Xisheng is already in the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking, and he can even kill Huang Tianting. It is said that not long ago, he was alone
In Buzhou Mountain, the Nantian Emperor was also chasing and injured his hand."
She originally thought that after her martial arts was promoted to the first level, she would have the strength to compete with Chu Xisheng, or even surpass him.
However, the Battle of Cangzhou more than a month ago completely shattered her illusions.
Wanqi Luohu felt sarcastic in his heart.
This woman actually wanted to compete with Junior Brother Chu by relying on her martial arts obtained through heretical methods.
There was no strange color on his face, and he said in a high-spirited voice: "Why does the princess need to feel depressed? The secret methods in my palace are different from those heretical methods spread in the world, and the consequences will be much less. The princess's body has been promoted.
After the first grade, the lifespan is as long as eight hundred years, which is enough time to make up for the deficiency of the foundation.
As for Chu Xisheng, although he is very popular now, he is actually like a raging fire cooking oil and cannot last long. Presumably all the forces will never allow him to continue to advance. The path ahead for this person is more dangerous and difficult than ever in the past. I am afraid that he will achieve great things in his life.
That’s the end of it.”
When Wanqi Luohu said this, a hint of worry could not help but appear deep in his eyes.
This is indeed what he has been worried about recently.
All the elders in the sect were also worried about this.
Chu Ming didn't notice it, and a smile appeared on his face again.
She waved her sleeves slightly: "There is no need to say any more nonsense. After all, this is northern Xinjiang, and your current status is very inconvenient. Let's get straight to the point. Tell us, why did you come here this time?"
Wanqi Luohu's face changed, and he raised his hand to lift a letter with magic power and sent it to Chu Ming.
"The princess will know the truth after reading the letter your Majesty gave you."
After taking it, Chu Ming tore open the letter and looked at it intently.
Her eyebrows could not help but raise slightly, showing a bit of surprise.
The first piece of paper was actually a gift list, which listed all kinds of precious geniuses and treasures, elixirs and rare treasures, as well as various medicines that can improve physical fitness and strengthen the true essence.
"How well does Your Majesty treat me?"
Chu Ming looked flattered: "It's called no reward for no merit. Before, with your majesty's help, I was already feeling uneasy when my martial arts rose to the first rank. Now I have not made any contribution to the court, and I have no help to your majesty. How can I dare to do it again?"
To receive such a great gift?"
"Your Majesty indeed loves the princess very much and has high expectations for her. However, most of the things on this gift list were donated to the court by local medicine merchants in the Youbing Prefecture, and were delivered to the princess by His Majesty's decree."
Wanqi Luohu smiled and offered the gift: "These things are hidden in a private house in the southeast corner of Yan'an County. If the princess has time, she can pick them up according to the address on the gift list."
Chu Ming nodded slightly and turned to look at the letter written by Emperor Jianyuan himself at the back.
She pondered: "Return to protect the medicine merchants in Youbingzhou and Wang'an and keep the trade routes between Youzhou and Wang'an smooth? Your Majesty really gave me a difficult problem."
In fact, she had already made a rough guess after hearing Wanqi Luohu's words just now.
Although the Far East Ice City collapsed at this time, the trade route between Youzhou and Dongzhou was not cut off.
Although grain from Dongzhou, Wuzhou, Ningzhou, Feizhou and other places can no longer be transported to Youzhou by sea, the medicinal materials in Youzhou are not restricted.
The medicinal materials were much smaller in size. They were transported by high-speed airships and sailed on the vast sea. It was difficult for the court to capture their location.
This business road not only provided abundant financial resources for the Iron Banner Gang, but also provided a large amount of secret medicine to the members of the Iron Banner Gang.
Nowadays, the number of seventh-grade martial arts cultivators in the armies of the Iron Banner Gang is increasing day by day, and the soldiers at the bottom are basically below the eighth-grade level. Both in terms of physical fitness and ordnance level, they are on par with the frontier troops.
"Princess Lao, thank you for your trouble." Wanqi Luohu raised his hand: "This is a stupid idea that the imperial court came up with due to its helplessness. Instead of giving the secret medicine of Bingyou and the two states to the Iron Banner Gang at a cheap price, it would be better for the imperial court to organize it.
Drug dealers from all over the country purchased it at high prices.
Nowadays, the Wuxiang Shen Sect does not clearly stipulate where these drugs must be sold. They must not dare to do such bad things, otherwise there will be endless disasters.
The only thing that is in the way now is the decree of the Northern Territory Grand Administrative Office, but the princess is fighting with it and taking action to protect the medicine merchants in the two places, so she will not violate the Wuxiang Shen Sect's sect rules."
Chu Ming's scalp felt numb.
Wanqi Rahu is talking about lightness.
However, her opponents are Qin Muge, the "unparalleled blue-eyed military governor" and Chu Xisheng, the "unparalleled commander of the past and present"!
However, Emperor Jianyuan spent so many resources to train her, so he must use her.
Chu Ming was also happy to see the court crack down on the trade routes of the two Youdong states. She knew that if Chu Xisheng's power was allowed to continue to grow, the Daning court might one day be unable to withstand it, and her revenge would be far away.
"I can agree."
Chu Ming looked at Wanqi Luohu steadily: "But I need your Majesty to give me three more 'Nine Apertures Mingxin Pills' or six 'Xuan Yuan Miao Enlightenment Pills'."
The 'Nine Apertures Mingxin Pill' and 'Xuanyuan Miaowu Pill' are much more precious than the things on the gift list. They are also pills that can really help her.
It can greatly improve her understanding, enhance her martial arts and heavenly power.
The shortcomings of Chu Ming's physical strength cannot be made up for in a short time, so he can only find ways to deal with his bloodline, martial arts and heavenly rules.
In the future, as long as she makes enough achievements in the north, she might have the opportunity to learn the follow-up moves of the Divine Will Touch Death Knife, and even if it doesn't work, she can deduce it herself.
The ridicule in Wanqi Luohu's heart became even stronger.
This Chu Ming is simply greedy. I wonder what the dog emperor will think after hearing this?
He frowned slightly, with a look of hesitation on his face: "This -"
"If Commander Wanqi does not have sufficient authority, you can help me report directly to His Majesty."
Chu Ming pressed the knife with her hand and her eyes were cold: "Your Majesty has spent so many resources to promote me to the first level, isn't it because he expects me to compete with Chu Xisheng in the future? But now, I am losing to the rules of heaven.
As you said, it will be difficult for Chu Xisheng to enter the second rank in his life. As long as I can suppress him in the future with the help of Jiajuan Celestial Rules and Bloodline, I may not be able to eliminate this scourge for the court and pacify the north——"
But just when she said this, she heard a chuckle from the distance: "Chu Ming, you are so ambitious! But I don't think you have this chance."
This pure and clear voice was so familiar to Chu Ming that it was engraved in his bones.
What is different from the past is that the voice at this time still contains the domineering majesty of the only one. It is sonorous and powerful, and the sound of the chime is resounding.
"Chu Xisheng?"
Chu Ming instantly trembled, and goosebumps appeared on her skin.
She immediately used her soul and consciousness to sense Chu Xisheng's position with all her strength.
However, no matter how Chu Ming searched, he could not sense where Chu Xisheng was until Chu Xisheng took the initiative to appear a hundred feet away.
He was hanging at a height of twenty feet, looking down at Chu Ming with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"At the first level of Gongti, the level of the Tianxia Shenyi Sword just now is also very good. I have been too busy recently, and I didn't pay much attention to you for a while, which actually made you a bit awkward."
At this time, Wanqi Luohu's expression had already changed. When Chu Xisheng's words came, he immediately formed a magic seal on his sleeve, and his magic power echoed that of Time sequence Taixu.
Chu Ming was also secretly frightened. The escape technique shown by Chu Xisheng made her completely unable to grasp the doorway, and her scalp became numb for a while.
Her Divine Will Sword Heart could not sense any hostile killing thoughts from Chu Xisheng.
However, Chu Ming immediately sensed a thought transmitted by Wanqi Luohu.
This person is using the magician's artifact to perform a super-grade Tiangang escape method, but this will take a certain amount of time.
She immediately summoned up her courage, widened her eyes, and glared at Chu Xisheng: "You came just in time! I was just trying to settle the matter with you for killing my mother and brother. When you had a secret marriage with Qin Muge, was it?
What does His Majesty's instruction have to do with my mother and brother?
I know you have resentment in your heart. However, under the pressure of the emperor at that time, the entire Chu family was helpless. Furthermore, Chu Xisheng, you were about to expire. Even if it hadn't been for that incident, you wouldn't have been able to live long. It would be better to save the Chu family with your life.
The public discussion of each house in the Chu family is not my father's family.
We are indeed at fault in this matter, but the crime is not worthy of death. Even if you want revenge, normal punishment is enough. Chu Xisheng, you ignored the family ties and dared to do such a vicious thing to my mother and brother. You are simply a wolf-hearted and a snake-hearted person!
I, Chu Ming, will not be a human unless I kill you!"
Chu Ming's eyes flashed sharply.
She had wanted to say these words to Chu Xisheng for a long time.
She thought that since the other party's traces were found today, she would reason with him by the way.
This man with a human face and an animal heart is simply insane.
How dare he bury his mother and brother alive!
Chu Ming's hatred for Chu Xisheng was so intense that even the entire world could hardly compare with it!
In addition, this is also to delay Wanqi Rahu.
As long as Chu Xisheng opened his mouth to argue with her, he would fall into her scheme.
As long as this person is willing to listen, Wanqi Luohu can have enough time to activate the spell.
Chu Xisheng actually listened.
He was holding his hands behind his back in the distance, his expression unwavering, as cold as ice.
"Have you finished speaking?" Chu Xisheng looked at Chu Ming with a hint of ridicule in his eyes: "That's a lot of nonsense! For your future and prosperity, Chu deserves to be buried, right? Just because I can't live long.
, should he be buried alive by you?
If you want to say that, then please come and fulfill Chu. People will eventually die, and you, Chu Ming, are no exception. Why not die under my sword today and fulfill my secret ritual of Yaizhen."
Just as he finished speaking, the void around Wanqi Luohu was cut open by an extremely powerful sword.
"The flying body of the super-grade Tiangang method is a wishful thinking!"
The blade was extremely sharp and contained the magic-breaking power of Shen Shang. It not only tore apart Time Order Taixu, but also caused Wanqi Luohu's magic power to be violently disturbed.
Chu Ming had been on full alert for a long time and had been gathering momentum for a long time.
He immediately slashed out with his sword and used all his strength to intercept Chu Xisheng's sword.
A pair of brilliant golden wings stretched out from behind her, and the light of the sword seemed to be a bright stream of light.
The Chu family in the west of Beijing specializes in the art of stars.
Chu Ming used to practice the 'All Stars Falling Sword' created by Chu Lingxi, the military god of the Chu family. However, she did not have the bloodline of Wanxiang and did not have the power to control the stars. It was difficult to push this sword skill to its peak.
.
Now she has inherited what she learned from Qin Li, the director of etiquette in Daning four hundred years ago. She has changed her mind and cultivated the 'Immortal Sun Sword', which has made great progress in the art of swordsmanship.
Although Chu Ming does not have the Wanxiang bloodline, in the past ten years, with the help of family resources, he has awakened several powerful star bloodlines, and with the help of the elixirs provided by Emperor Jianyuan, he has pushed the power of these bloodlines to more than the twentieth level.
You need to know that the sun is also a star!
Therefore, Chu Ming is fully confident that her ‘Immortal Sun Sword’ is enough to fight against Chu Xisheng for a moment!
It can last at least three to five hundred rounds.
But when the two sides actually fought, Chu Ming knew that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.
The gap between them was so big that Chu Ming despaired.
At this time, not only were the Yang Yan sword lights she slashed out, they were all destroyed by Chu Xisheng's Heaven-Destroying Saber. The sword light even chased Shuo and killed everyone around him.
Chu Ming was completely powerless to resist. Her true energy, her divine will, her body, and even the first-grade lower-level sword in her hand were also among those killed.
Chu Xisheng didn't even draw the sword, but concentrated the sword's energy with his will.
He mainly targeted Wanqi Luohu, but only used part of the remaining sword power to sweep towards Chu Ming.
However, this was already a burden she could not bear.
Chu Ming was at a loss. After being promoted to the first rank, she thought very highly of herself, but it turned out that she couldn't even catch Chu Xisheng's sword.
She thought that Chu Xisheng had such power, no wonder he acted calmly after showing up, and was not worried about them escaping at all.
However, just when Chu Ming thought that Wanqi Luohu would definitely die, Wanqi Luohu's facial features and seven orifices suddenly spurted out blood.
At this moment, by stimulating the power of his blood, he forcibly activated his own spell - the super-grade Tiangang method 'Flying Body Holding Trace'.
Wanqi Luohu not only made himself disappear in front of Chu Xisheng in an instant, but also escaped into the void with Chu Ming, flying thousands of miles away in an instant.
However, Chu Xisheng's escape technique is also outstanding! And he has an extremely strong body that is not inferior to that of a first-grade martial artist.
He actually followed the two of them into the void, locked them with his sword and continued to pursue them.
Fortunately, the power of magic to travel through Taixu is ultimately more convenient than martial arts. Chu Xisheng has not mastered the method of Taixu in the Eight Classics.
Wanqi Luohu's magic power grew stronger and stronger, and finally gradually threw Chu Xisheng away.
When Chu Ming couldn't sense Chu Xisheng's sword intention, her mind suddenly relaxed slightly.
In the end, they saved their lives because of Chu Xisheng's negligence.
But in the next moment, Chu Xisheng's voice reached her ears from afar: "It's interesting that you escaped with your body today. But Chu Ming, where can you escape to? Wang'an City? That dog emperor can't
I can't protect you. Although this world is big, there is no place for you.
Your mother and brother are dead, and now it's your turn. Cherish these last moments. Within three months at most, I will definitely find you and take your life!"
Chu Ming's heart suddenly sank, and his internal organs felt like ice cubes.
She knew that what Chu Xisheng said was true.
Chu Xisheng's martial arts has reached this point, and he is not afraid of group attacks, so he doesn't need to worry about the consumption of his true energy.
If this bastard wanted to kill her wholeheartedly, he might not be able to protect her even in Daning Capital.
Just a moment later, Chu Xisheng broke away from the void and returned to the void wall.
He stood on the top of a mountain and looked at the direction where Wanqi Luohu and Chu Ming were going away with a half-smile.
Just a moment later, a golden light flashed from the horizon and came to Chu Xisheng's side.
That was Lu Luanli. She was riding the Sun-Bathering Divine Boat, hovering in mid-air.
"It seems that your affairs have been settled?"
Lu Luanli looked Chu Xisheng up and down, then glanced in the south direction, and then shook his head: "I really don't understand, why would you go to all this trouble if you can just kill her?"
Chu Xisheng burst out laughing when he heard this: "This is my secret ritual of Yaizi. Yaizi will definitely retaliate. Anyone who insults me, bullies me, or harms me will be repaid tenfold!"
It was also because the original owner of this body was too small-minded and was filled with resentment for being buried alive.
When Chu Xisheng first came out of the tomb, he often dreamed of the scene of being carried into the coffin, and then was awakened by nightmares.
He still has fresh memories of his resentment and anger in the dream and cannot forget it.
"also--"
Chu Xisheng paused for a moment and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "I am still very interested in the evil corpses that have reached the first level, mastered the death-touching knife with divine will, and have the possibility of promotion."
"Evil corpse?"
Lu Luanli was stunned and his eyes were horrified: "You mean that dog emperor might refine Chu Ming into a evil corpse? This is unlikely, Chu Ming is his nephew."
"Otherwise, how can he circumvent the prohibitive restrictions of the Wuxiang Divine Sect and master the death-touching knife of divine will?"
Chu Xisheng's face was dull: "He slaughtered all his brothers, even his own queen and prince, let alone a niece. I guess this dog emperor has prepared a cemetery and coffin for Chu Ming.
Let her die in the most painful and unwilling way."
"Will Emperor Jianyuan bury her alive?"
Lu Luanli thought for a moment and felt that this might be a big deal. Her eyes flickered: "When will it be exactly? Xisheng, can you control Chu Ming after she turns into a corpse? How sure are you?"
Lu Luanli couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.
It's no wonder that Chu Xisheng has ignored Chu Ming in the past few months, and this time he intends to let Chu Ming escape.
Is this his secret ritual?
As expected, hatred must be repaid.
"It depends on how scared Emperor Jianyuan and Chu Ming are of me. The greater the pressure on them, the faster it will take for me to get what I want."
Chu Xisheng dodged and came to the Yuri Shenzhou: "As for the method of controlling Chu Ming, it is of course 100%! How can Emperor Jianyuan be satisfied? By the way, congratulations to Luan Li for being promoted to the third rank today!"
Lu Luanli had clearly taken the third-grade secret medicine, which caused a large amount of Qi, blood and true energy to leak out.
Lu Luanli snorted softly.
Her promotion to the third rank was still behind Bai Xiaozhao and Xiao Pingtou, so what is there to congratulate?
"Where are you going next?" Lu Luanli looked sideways at Chu Xisheng: "Do you want to go to the ruins?"
She guessed that Chu Xisheng wanted to push Xiao Pingtou to the position of the true spirit of Yaizhen.
In Guixu, there is a withered statue of "Yai Can" made by Pangu in the past.
If this statue could be found, not only would Xiao Pingtou benefit a lot, but Chu Xisheng would also benefit a lot.
Lu Luanli also happened to want to go to Guixu to have a look.
She had completed her body promotion, and now she had some patience and walked around with Chu Xisheng.
"I definitely want to go to Guixu."
Chu Xisheng smiled slightly: "But before that, we have to go near Wang'an City to get some things left by the former King Wulie."
Lu Luanli's eyes were confused: "Are you ready to collect the treasure of King Wu Lie?"
Her mood suddenly became bad.
Lu Luanli knew that Chu Xisheng had mastered the location and secret key of King Wu Lietian's treasure.
However, the key to the treasure is in Chu Yunyun's hands.
"There is no such thing as a fierce king's treasure."
Chu Xisheng shook his head: "There is only one lone army that is always victorious and undefeated in life. You will be shocked when you go there. The hatred and determination of King Wu Lietian and his subordinates towards the giant spirits is beyond your imagination.
"
He originally didn't want to enter that place so early.
However, the plan failed to change, and Chu Xisheng had to get one thing inside first.
This chapter has been completed!
