In Tianqiong Mountain in northern Liangzhou, countless red flying ant colonies cover the sky and block out the sun.
Here, there are also huge red fireworks that fill the sky, burning through nine layers of clouds, forming a huge wall of fire in the sky, preventing the ant colony from moving south.
The flames are released by the magicians of Duten Shrine.
Dutian Shrine is the closest divine sect to Liangzhou, so when the Daluo Ant Clan began to break through the ban on a large scale, Dutian Shrine was the first to respond and immediately increased its troops to Tianqiong Mountain in order to block the Daluo Ant Clan from moving south.
It's just that this monstrous flame is useful for ordinary Daluo ants, but it can't seal those powerful high-level soldier ants.
At this time, it was visible in the sky that there were continuous beams of red light breaking through the wall of fire and fighting with the martial arts cultivators of Dutian Shrine.
The physical fitness of these high-level soldier ants is comparable to that of second- and third-grade martial arts cultivators, and their numbers are huge. The extra powerful individuals among them can even compete with first-grade martial arts cultivators.
Fortunately, those high-level soldier ants have lost their virtual bodies after a long period of confinement and can only fight with their own bodies. Their combat capabilities are generally inferior to those of the same level of martial arts, just like many giant spirits.
Likewise, Sora has a lot of power but can't control it and doesn't know how to use it.
Even so, after mobilizing more than 300 elders from the entire sect, Dutian Shrine can only barely support its defense line.
At this time, at the top of Tianqiong Mountain, Chen Nailuo, the "God's Finger Dutian", who was dressed in red and had a beautiful and almost demonic face, was looking at the northern sky with a cold face.
He didn't seem to take any action, nor did he participate in commanding the operation.
However, all the disciples of Dutianshen Palace knew that their palace master bore the greatest pressure.
The seven super-class divine ants in the opposite ant colony were all suppressed by Chen Naluo alone.
Although this super-first-class man who was once as famous as the ‘Magic Lamp Illuminating the World’ sect has become somewhat quiet in recent years, his reputation has dimmed.
However, in today's battle, the combat power displayed by Chen Nailuo has reached the peak of demigods, close to the near-god level!
He stands on the top of Tianqiong Mountain, supporting half of the sky like a giant pillar.
At this time, behind Chen Nailuo, several elders from the Dutian Shrine Palace were either shouting loudly or passing out talismans, but all of them looked livid and anxious.
"Have the soldiers from Tianyang County arrived? Are they still seventy miles away? Let them speed up and tell the Tianyang County captain not to come if they don't come."
"Are the soldiers from Jingcheng County here? Well done. Jingcheng County Lieutenants are worthy of being disciples cultivated by our Tianshen Palace. Let them set up formations along the fire line and guard against the ground. These ants are very good at digging holes."
"We still have to find a way to recruit some magicians. The fire wall is not strong enough, and we have to prevent them from breaking through the ground."
"Another envoy will go to Yongzhou and order them to send troops as soon as possible. Once these ants are transformed into large-scale parasitic bodies, it will be over! At that time, there will be no distinction between humans and insects in the world, and it will be difficult to distinguish. The blood ant disaster 190,000 years ago,
The entire Western Region of China will surely reappear. There are hundreds of millions of people in the Western Region, not even one out of ten! Those high-ranking officials, generals, and wealthy families, do they think they can survive?"
"Where's the Guiyuan Sword Sect? They haven't responded yet? They're already here. Only nine thousand sword cultivators have arrived, and they're setting up formations at Tianxiang Mountain? Damn it, why did we choose this place? I still expect them to help us cover our flanks."
"Where is Mr. Wuji Sword? Have you notified Mr. Wuji Sword?"
"There are no two days in the sky, no matter the past or present! Only Master Wuji Sword can handle this situation now. He is the successor of Xuejai, and his sword skills have been inherited from Xuejai."
"To put it bluntly, no matter how many troops we mobilize now, it will be useless no matter how many martial arts cultivators we have. Only Master Wuji Sword can defeat ten thousand people with one sword——"
Chen Nailuo couldn't help but look sideways, and looked at the elders of Dutian Palace behind him with cold eyes.
His fellow disciples looked a little embarrassed, and they all turned their heads to avoid looking at him.
Chen Nailuo groaned and turned his gaze forward.
He knew that these people were making insinuations and wanted him to contact Li Changsheng personally and seek help from the Wuxiang Divine Sect.
However, a few years ago, Dutian Shen Palace was among the sects that worked most diligently to block the Wuxiang Shen Sect's inheritance of the "Divine Will Touches the Death Knife".
At this time, how could Chen Nailuo still have the nerve to ask Wuxiang Shenzong for help?
And just ten breaths later, Chen Nailuo let out another sigh.
At this time, no matter how hard I try to lose my temper, I have to do so.
It is better for you to lose face than for your disciples to lose their lives.
The number of Daluo ants that have been unsealed in Wanku Mountain is increasing, and it is no longer something that the power of several divine sects and demon sects can stop.
The power of Duten Shrine can only last for one to two days at most.
If there is no more powerful force to intervene, if this war continues, there will be large-scale casualties in Dutian Shrine sooner or later.
Chen Nailuo took out a purple-gold talisman from his sleeve and turned it into fire and burned it.
That was the first-grade Tiangang Talisman ‘Dream Bubble’ that Dutian Shrine obtained from Hidden Dragon in the early years.
Chen Nai Luo is used here just to make dreams come true and to contact Li Changsheng, the leader of the Wuxiang Sect, who is more than 100,000 miles away.
A moment later, a colorful bubble the size of a fist appeared in front of Chen Nailuo.
Li Changsheng's voice came from inside: "Who is it? Hmm~ It's the Lord of Chen Palace? What's the matter?"
He was obviously confused at first, but then he understood the situation, and there was a hint of hesitation in his words.
Chen Nailuo's thin lips immediately pursed slightly, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his usually cynical, lazy and handsome face. He hummed softly: "Stop pretending to be ignorant, I'm looking for you to borrow a knife! God's will touches the death knife!"
"
Li Changsheng couldn't help but hissed: "Master Chen, is this your attitude when asking others for help?"
He then sneered: "If you want me to help you, please beg me! I'm asking for it in a serious way. Also, when it comes to your affairs in the Western Region, you can't let us help you in vain."
In the past, the Wuxiang Divine Sect fought alone against the Night Wolf Giant Spirit, suppressed the Ten Thousand Demons Cave alone, and suppressed the monsters along the coast of the Two Youji Prefectures alone. Dutian Shen Palace did not come to help.
Even if you help occasionally, it will be paid.
Chen Nailuo's fist suddenly clenched tightly, making a 'click-click' sound, and the force exploded, disturbing the air in all directions.
His eyes spurted out endless anger, which seemed to burn through the sky, and his silver teeth almost burst from his teeth.
However, after a while, Chen Nailuo still took a deep breath and managed to suppress his anger.
His voice was as gentle as possible: "Sect Master Li, although Wanku Mountain is in the Western Region, once the Daluo Ant Clan escapes from trouble, it will bring disaster to the entire Chinese race. Sect Master Li is an upright and unparalleled hero who stands high in the sky. Don't you know that his lips are dying and his teeth are cold?"
reason?
Today, as long as the sect master agrees to borrow the sword, the Dutian Shrine Palace is willing to do three things for your sect. As long as the Dutian Shrine Palace can do it and it does not violate morality, we will definitely do our best to achieve it. In addition, our palace can also promise not to interfere with the imperial line of China from now on.
fight, and would like to respect Chu Xisheng as the contemporary emperor!"
Chen Nailuo's eyes were extremely serious: "I also ask Sect Master Li to ignore the past grudges and send troops to help as soon as possible. I and everyone in the Dutian Shrine Palace will feel deeply grateful!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Li Changsheng smiled: "He is upright and upright, soaring into the sky, a peerless hero~ Tsk, it's rare to hear Palace Master Chen say such flattering words from the bottom of his heart. You might as well say it again, I love hearing it."
Bang!
Chen Nailuo's back molars were instantly ground together, and he clenched his fists again.
Just when the nerves in Chen Nailuo's mind were about to break, Li Changsheng's voice changed: "Qin Xiyan, our sect's candidate for the Blood Jade Qianwu Shenji, has already rushed over. I can't control Xi Sheng, but according to the
I know that he is already on his way to Liangzhou, and now he should——"
Before Li Changsheng could finish speaking, Chen Nailuo waved his sleeves and destroyed the colorful bubbles.
"Find a way to confirm Chu Xisheng's location."
Chen Nailuo looked behind him expressionlessly: "Try your best to gather manpower. Dutian Palace does not need to be retained. Transfer all the remaining disciples. Before Chu Xisheng arrives, we must guard the area along Tianqiong Mountain."
Several elders behind him looked at each other and said, "Palace Master, there is no problem in guarding Tianqiong Mountain, but in case -"
"Nothing just in case!"
The corners of Chen Nailuo's lips raised slightly, and his smile was resolute and cold: "The foundation of Dutian Shrine is the people of the states in the Western Regions. As long as there are people on this land, the tradition of Dutian Shrine can be passed down and immortalized. But if the people are gone,
So even if we defend our mountain, what's the point?"
Li Changsheng is certainly annoying, hateful, and hateful!
But Chen Nailuo still believed what he said.
※※※※
At Tianxiang Mountain, which is seven thousand miles away from Tianqiong Mountain, Guiyuan Sword Sect's fifteen thousand swordsmen have formed their formation here.
The news from Dutian Shrine is still lagging behind slightly. When the Guiyuan Sword Sect set out for the expedition, it only had nine thousand sword cultivators, but it was sending a steady stream of disciples over.
Thanks to Chu Yunyun's conquest of Yanzhou, the Yuan Yi clan, the overlord outside the northwest Great Wall, had to shrink its strength on a large scale. The Guiyuan Sword Sect's pressure in the north was greatly reduced, and they could dispatch disciples south on a large scale for reinforcements.
They arrived at just the right time. The blood-red Da Luo ant swarm arrived near Tianxiang Mountain and was intercepted by the Guiyuan Sword Sect.
At this time, their battle lines had spread to the north and south of Tianxiang Mountain.
One side wants to take a detour and break through, while the other side blocks it with all its strength, causing the area of 12,000 miles from north to south to be filled with the sharp Gengjin sword energy.
At this time, on the mountainside of Tianxiang Mountain, there was a young man with a fresh temperament and outstanding handsomeness. He was looking around the two sides of the battlefield and whispered softly: "Suddenly, I feel that my sect's sword is not very easy to use. Even if it is to kill the first
It’s a bit difficult to deal with these ants even with the ‘Ten Thousand Killing Sword’.”
That is the leader of Renzhong, the ‘Shenyin Sword Lord’.
In the past, this person who entered the Secret Realm of Time with Chu Xisheng was one of the few Chaotianzhu of the outer sect who escaped from the secret realm intact.
Four years later, Ren Zhongshou also gained a great reputation in the northwest area.
Although he is not as famous as Chu Xisheng and others, he still has a fourth-level martial arts cultivation level, and is even called the 'Shenyin Sword Lord'.
"It seems that this Gengjin killing method still has limitations -"
Before he could finish his words, someone slapped him hard on the back of the head.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The Yaizhen lineage is also a Gengjin method, but it can defeat ten thousand people with one person. All kinds of killing rules have unlimited potential. The Wuxiang Shenzong is just lucky, and it has a blood Yi, and
There is a Wuji Sword Lord."
It was an old man with pale and bushy beard. He blew his beard and glared at Renzhongshou angrily, "As a disciple of our sect, you don't want to improve our sect's swordsmanship and make our sect's swordsmanship surpass that of blood.
What does it look like to say depressing words in front of this military formation?"
Ren Zhongshou heard the words and smiled.
Seeing his fellow disciples around him looking sideways in surprise, he could only pretend to be nonchalant and whispered: "Uncle, please keep your voice down and save some face. After all, I am the leader of the younger generation, and I have been seen a lot."
not good.
I’m just talking. Do you know how much effort I have put into the ‘Prison Niu’ recently? Aren’t I always participating in research and improvement?”
The white-haired old man subconsciously wanted to reprimand angrily, but then he remembered that the guy in front of him had been selected by the sect master as one of the candidates for the next sect master, so he stopped talking.
This guy really needs prestige, and he can't be embarrassed in front of all the disciples.
Qi Renzhongshou has indeed put in hard work in the "Cow Prisoner" method.
Prison Ox is the docile among the nine sons of the dragon. It is neither bloodthirsty nor ruthless, and is fond of music.
It can discern the sounds of all things, and it can also destroy all things with its sounds.
If there is any heavenly law that can match the lethality of Yazu among the laws of heaven and earth, the mythical beast "Prisoner Ox" must be one of them.
He shook his head and looked forward with solemn eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense, adjust your breath quickly, and restore your true energy. I'm afraid there will be a hard battle next, and I won't be able to rest for two days and nights. If you are unlucky, you may not even have a chance to rest."
They set out five hours ago and came from the north of Tielzhou. In just five hours, they covered 24,000 miles.
Although they took the magic weapon flying boat, the magic weapon itself still consumed a large amount of their true energy, and they were in urgent need of recovery at this time.
There was a hint of suspicion in Chief Ren's eyes.
He adjusted his breath while asking: "Actually, I don't quite understand why the three generations of Holy Emperors didn't kill all these ants. I feel that killing these Daluo ants is much easier than sealing them."
"Do you think the third generation Holy Emperor didn't want to destroy them? The reason why they chose to seal them was naturally because they couldn't be killed."
The white-haired old man frowned and said with a helpless expression: "I checked the origins of these Da Luo ants before setting off. They were born in the era of chaos, and may be older than the innate gods.
Legend has it that they once swallowed the roots of the mother tree of creation, obtained part of the life source of the mother tree, and lived symbiotically with the mother tree. Therefore, unless the mother tree of creation is cut off, or there is a saint-level death rule to kill it, otherwise their insects
The soul is immortal and will be resurrected among the various trees around it."
Ren Zhongshou looked stern.
The Mother Tree of Creation is a giant tree located in the center of the four sacred mountains in Middle-earth. It is known as the source of all trees and the source of life. Some even believe that it is the source of all life in the world.
It is also said that it has no wisdom, only instinct, but it holds the highest authority over life in the world.
The Mother Tree of Creation is extremely huge, it is at least 300,000 feet high, above the nine layers of clouds, and its crown covers a land equivalent to eight ice states.
It is also where the temples of the major eternal gods are concentrated.
Believers of the gods built their temples on the branches of the mother tree of creation, believing that doing so would bring them closer to the gods.
That is also the area of Middle-earth, where humans are most densely populated.
Hundreds of millions of human beings live around the Mother Tree of Creation. They want to seek shelter from the eternal gods and are the most devout believers of the gods.
"Since they are immortal, why are they afraid of the Bloody Sword Lord?"
Ren Zhongshou still has unanswered questions: "I heard that eight hundred years ago, many Da Luo ants were afraid of blood and ran back to Wanku Mountain to seal themselves?"
The white-haired old man laughed dumbly: "They are immortal, but it does not mean that they can retain their strength after resurrection. The vitality lost after death takes time to recover.
In addition, the number of the Daluo ants is not unlimited. They gnawed at the roots of the mother tree of creation and became immortal from then on, but they also lost the ability to reproduce and expand the population at will. Of course, this is still terrifying.
In the past, the Da Luo Ant Clan had six high-ranking god-level powers in its heyday. However, the three generations of Holy Emperors combined the many talented generals of the human race of that era and killed them all, and no one of the four could be found.
It took another seven thousand years to seal the resurrected Da Luo ants one by one to Wanku Mountain.
Now, 170,000 years have passed since the three generations of Holy Emperors sealed the ant tribe, and their innate divine bodies have gradually recovered, but they encountered the Blood Emperor eight hundred years ago!"
The white-haired old man couldn't help but reveal some emotion and admiration in his words: "Xueyi can wipe out their accumulated power with one knife, instead of wasting the energy accumulated for 170,000 years under the Xueyi knife and being killed continuously.
If they die, they would rather run back to Wanku Mountain.
They used the sealing formation of the three generations of Holy Emperors to isolate themselves from the divine will. What is ridiculous is that the formation used by the Three Generations of Holy Emperors to seal them has actually become a shelter for them to preserve their own power. And now - "
The white-haired old man paused for a moment, then looked up at the swarm of ants in the sky with a complex look on his face: "There are already descendants of the Bloody Eye, but they still dare to take the initiative to break away from the ban. This is obviously a well-prepared move."
Ren Zhongshou was frightened and frowned.
These Da Luo ants must be confident of dealing with Chu Xisheng, so they dared to break the seal and escape from trouble.
I wonder if Chu Xisheng can handle it this time.
There is no two days in the sky, no matter the past or present - that guy, he should not disappoint anyone.
※※※※
At this time in Wanku Mountain, Concubine Zhuang was also frowning.
Within the mountain of Wanku Mountain, more and more Da Luo ants are flying out from various channels. There are tens of thousands of them, and the buzzing sound of their wings is even enough to shake people's eardrums.
crack.
Concubine Zhuang was not happy at all.
At this time, the Queen Ant's consciousness came into her mind: "Isn't that Chu Xisheng showing up yet?"
"Never!"
Concubine Zhuang shook her head: "There is news that this person has arrived in Liangzhou, but we still don't know his location."
It's strange to know.
Eight hundred years ago, if Lord Xue Yaidao wanted to hide his whereabouts, no one would be able to find him except for a few gods in the world.
Although Chu Xisheng is still far behind Xuejai, he is already the Lord of the Ten States and has a powerful dragon energy protection that can block the induction of the gods.
The problem is that the secret method they prepared, the secret blood method that killed Chu Xisheng with one blow, was launched by gathering the power of the entire clan!
The more complete the power of the tribe is preserved, the more powerful this secret method will be.
Then they are now fighting in several directions, with the human race's Dutian Shrine, the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and the Yu Shen Sect and other divine sects.
Even the Divine Flame Palace in the Demon Sect sent as many as 25,000 disciples to press against the west side of Wanku Mountain.
This not only put great pressure on them, but also caused a large number of death and injury to their soldier ants.
There are few people around Mankuo Mountain, there is not much blood food for them to recover, and there are not even many trees.
Even if these soldier ants who died in battle came back to life, they would not have much strength left.
Therefore, the power of this bloodline secret method continues to decline.
The later Chu Xisheng appears, the lower their chance of killing Chu Xisheng in one blow.
"According to the information you have collected, we can see that this person has a temperament similar to that of Xue Yan, has a heart for the world, and is righteous and benevolent. Not only is he a hero of the Chinese people, but theoretically speaking, he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore Liangzhou."
The queen ant's voice immediately changed: "But we may have forgotten one thing. He is still a king who rules over ten states and has an army of 20 million. A king like him, no matter how benevolent and righteous, will never
No matter how much he loves the people and cares about things, his thinking cannot be the same as that of Xue Yan."
Concubine Zhuang was stunned when she heard this, and then her eyebrows lowered: "What the queen mother means is that he may want to use these Western Region sects and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to consume our strength?"
"It's also possible that he wants to use our help to attack potential opponents like Dutian Shrine. These people are all obstacles to him becoming emperor in the future."
The queen ant sneered: "Never underestimate the power of a human king. I'm afraid we have to be prepared that Chu Xisheng won't show up before we break through the human defense line."
Concubine Zhuang's eyes couldn't help but condense: "But if this happens, our clan will inevitably suffer heavy casualties."
Before entering those densely populated areas with many creatures, every bit of their power is precious.
"So there is no need to keep it anymore."
The queen ant spoke hoarsely and resolutely: "I have an ominous premonition. If we return to the ban this time, we may not have a chance to come out. So at this point, our clan has no room to retreat. We can only fight to the death. Let's see.
Can it be finalized?
I have awakened all the male ants in Wanku Mountain, what you have to do next is to lead them to break through the human race's defense line as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhuang immediately knelt down with a solemn expression: "My daughter will never let her mother down."
The male ants in the Da Luo ant tribe are superior to the worker ants and soldier ants, and have the right to mate with the queen ant.
Their combat power is extremely powerful, even surpassing those elder-level soldier ants.
Concubine Zhuang then looked up to the south.
She understood what her mother meant.
We can't let it go on like this any longer. The Daluo Ant Tribe cannot afford to fight this war of attrition.
They must smash the opponent's defense as quickly as possible and force Chu Xisheng to show up!
Only in this way can casualties be reduced, and then all their power can be used to kill Chu Xisheng!
※※※※
As the queen ant expected, Chu Xisheng had arrived in Liangzhou. He was hiding three thousand miles south of Tianqiong Mountain and was sitting still watching the battle at Tianqiong Mountain.
He looked calm, and even though the battle in Tianqiong Mountain became more and more intense, he had no intention of taking action.
At this time, there was another person standing next to him.
That is none other than the leader of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, the ‘Judao Sword Master’ Xie Tianqing!
Chu Xisheng was looking at Tianqiong Mountain, but Xie Tianqing was looking at him.
After a moment, Xie Tianqing's eyes widened and he said, "I wonder what Lord Dao's purpose is in calling me here during the war?"
Chu Xisheng held the Tianli Zhaoran knife in his hand and looked sideways at Xie Tianqing: "I predict that within half a day, those Daluo ant tribe will come out in full force and make a desperate move. I would like to ask Xie Zongzong to take a detour and come from inside Wanku Mountain.
Destroy the Holy Emperor’s ban.”
He emphasized his tone: "What I want is thorough, complete, and unreserved destruction."
Xie Tianqing was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned: "What does Lord Dao want? Those Da Luo ants cannot be truly killed."
Unless the mother tree of creation is cut off, or there is a saint-level ‘god of death’.
But none of these human races can do it.
There is no God of Death in the human race. The concepts of 'netherworld', 'hell', 'nine netherworlds' and 'underworld' all come from the giant spirits of Middle-earth.
After the death of human beings, their souls will naturally dissipate between heaven and earth, never return to the Nine Netherworld, or enter reincarnation.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to have a saint-level ‘god of death’ appear.
Only tens of thousands of years ago, there was an extremely powerful being who became the master of all demons and monsters in China. He once competed with several gods of death from the giant spirits for the Nether Hell, but failed for some reason and fell short of success.
"Just because we can't kill them doesn't mean we can't solve these problems."
Chu Xisheng smiled slightly: "If they are allowed to stay in Wanku Mountain, they will eventually be a source of disaster in the future, and I think your sect will not be able to feel at ease."
Xie Tianqing thought for a moment, then nodded decisively: "Okay!"
His voice was decisive.
Before today, it was almost impossible for them to use external force to break the ban imposed by the three generations of Holy Emperors.
After all, even Xue Yan from eight hundred years ago couldn't do it.
The problem is that when the Da Luo Ant Tribe escaped from trouble, they used the 'Da Luo Blood Seal' to destroy the ban, which caused a huge flaw in the ban circle.
Chu Xisheng was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Xie Sect Master is so cheerful, don't you suspect that I have ulterior motives?"
Their two sects are mortal enemies.
Xie Tianqing, the 'Sword Master of the Ultimate Sword', shook his head slightly when he heard this: "Sword Master has come all the way, and there is absolutely no way he is going to trap us to death. You can just sit back and watch, why bother?"
Xie Tianqing turned his head again and looked forward.
"But Lord Dao, please pay attention. These ant tribes may have means to deal with Lord Dao. Also, once these ant tribes come out in full force, Dutian Shrine may suffer heavy casualties."
"I understand that they are desperate and must use all their strength."
Chu Xisheng smiled: "Sect Master, don't worry. Although the Daluo Ant Clan has accumulated a lot of experience, the world has never known or seen the limits of Chu's sword technique."
‘The Ultimate Sword Master’ Xie Tianqing’s heart trembled upon hearing this, and he sensed the boundless confidence and the fierce and peerless edge in Chu Xi’s voice.
"As for the Dutian Shrine, I will contact the Master of the Chen Palace later."
Chu Xisheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "This battle cannot be left to them, no matter how heavy the casualties are, they have to defend. However, the number of casualties in Dutian Sheng Palace in this battle actually depends on the speed of the destruction of Sect Master Xie."
Xie Tianqing was speechless after hearing this. He nodded slightly with a calm face, thinking that this was the so-called "kindness does not control soldiers".
This Wuji Sword Lord is indeed ambitious.
Although he has a benevolent heart that loves and protects all people, he also has ruthless and decisive methods.
This chapter has been completed!
