Chapter 1,634 The battle for the Stone of Fire (continued)
The collision between the qi is often fierce and dull. As soon as the Bagua Tai Chi diagrams with different colors on the two sides come into contact, they just make a muffled pop sound.
The two clumps of leaves that had been rubbing and colliding with each other in the center of the battle were instantly smashed to pieces, and all the energy that the two of them had vented from the beginning to the end exploded at this moment.
Invisible air waves roared in all directions, and the brute force directly broke all the weeds within ten feet of Xiaoyao Zi Xiaomeng. At the same time, it also broke the roots of the big trees within this range, and blew them all away into the distance. Ragged tree roots are left behind.
The rain that kept dripping from the sky was even blown back in the opposite direction, as if it was temporarily stopped, and it started falling again after a while.
At the center of the battle, the woods that had lost their color due to the eclipse of Xiao Meng's sky and earth had now returned to their original state, and raindrops were falling on the ground normally.
The two of them were each covered with a layer of light mist of true energy, blocking the rain that hit them.
Then the two of them each took back their weapons, Xue Ji still kept it in its sheath, while Qiu Li unsheathed it by a few inches.
Obviously, Xiaomeng was slightly inferior in this round.
However, Xiaomeng didn't seem to care. She looked at Xiaoyaozi and said calmly, "This is your true strength."
She used this sentence in an affirmative rather than a question, which sounded like she had already confirmed this.
Xiaoyaozi had no intention of further explaining this, so he said politely:
"I've heard about your name for a long time, and this is the first time we've met. I accept my offer, junior sister."
"With your cultivation level, it might have been possible to defeat my senior brother Chisongzi five years ago, but it was not the right path after all." Xiao Meng's words always make people's blood pressure soar, and they are labeled as evil.
Xiaoyaozi was also good-tempered and replied calmly, "There is only one Tao, but there are thousands of Dharmas."
"The Human Sect and the Heavenly Sect actually lead to the same destination through different paths."
A smile appeared on Xiaomeng's lips when she heard this, and she suddenly took out a mahogany box and asked in a disdainful tone:
"Is this your human sect's path to seek enlightenment?"
Xiaoyaozi frowned slightly when he saw the box - this thing belonged to the Renzong, which was the Renzong treasure that Mu Xuzi took with him when he defected.
Now that it is in Xiaomeng's hands, it seems that those of his disciples really died at her hands - although he was basically certain of this before, the evidence is now considered conclusive.
This made Xiaoyaozi feel really angry.
"Summer insects can't talk about ice!" He responded in an angry voice with an aggravated tone.
Xiao Meng gave her own evaluation, "If you are eager for quick success, you will never escape the devil!"
"Killing fellow disciples and treating the common people as stupid dogs, isn't this the right path?"
Xiaomeng's smile did not diminish, she turned sideways and replied calmly, "Life is a lifetime, and the grass and trees are autumn. You have been practicing Taoism for many years and you haven't escaped from life and death. It's really ridiculous!"
"Tianzong claims to be aloof, so how can he be willing to be a pawn of the empire?" Xiaoyaozi retorted unceremoniously.
"When you pass by the shade of a tree while walking, it does not mean that you belong to this tree. Don't you understand this?"
After Xiaoyaozi was silent for a moment, he asked again, "Junior sister Xiaomeng, what do you want?"
"What I want has been proven just now." Xiao Meng replied casually.
However, her answer was to a certain extent deceiving Xiaoyaozi - the purpose of her meeting with Xiaoyaozi today was very simple, to weigh each other's worth, and she had already obtained the answer from the previous confrontation.
But what Xiaoyaozi wants to ask is of course not this.
"What did junior sister prove?" Xiaoyaozi asked.
"You don't deserve Xue Ji."
"Xue Ji... If you want it, you can take it now." Xiaoyaozi stretched out his hand and placed Xue Ji in front of him.
"Back then, the two masters made a covenant between heaven and man every five years to observe swordsmanship at Miaotai, and the winner would be in charge of Xueji. They wanted to avoid unnecessary conflicts of doctrine and killing each other. I hope you will not go against the painstaking efforts of the ancestors.
.”
Xiao Menghun replied nonchalantly, "What's the matter of winning and losing? You're the one who doesn't understand the Patriarch's intention, right?"
"The covenant between heaven and man is to allow the heavenly sect and the human sect to confirm each other's understanding of the right path, so that the one who has gone astray can stop immediately."
Xiaomeng turned around completely, with her back to Xiaoyaozi and continued, "I will take this sword from your hand in front of all the disciples of Renzong and let them witness the great road."
It’s hard to say which one is right or wrong in the dispute between principles, but Xiaomeng’s side is really big, that’s absolutely right.
After saying that, Xiaomeng stepped away. After taking two steps, her figure gradually became illusory and transparent, disappearing from Xiaoyaozi's sight. Finally, she left a vague and illusory words:
"Taiyi Mountain Viewing Platform, at this point, Renzong will have no value in continuing to exist."
Xiaoyaozi put away Xueji again, stared at the direction where Xiaomeng disappeared with a solemn expression, and sighed in his heart.
It doesn't matter to him who wins or loses in the covenant between heaven and man, and Xue Ji, the Taoist leader's token, is not a necessary thing for him, but he does care about Xiao Meng's thoughts.
This made his desire to win a lot higher - if he could directly win the contract between heaven and man, the two sects of heaven and man might still be able to maintain peace in the past five years.
But whether we can win is another question.
Although he won the round of competition just now, it does not mean that his strength is really higher than Xiaomeng.
It was just a Qi competition. He was so many years older than Xiao Meng and had an absolute advantage. It could even be said that if he had lost, there would be no need to fight that day - he would definitely not be able to defeat Xiao Meng!
Now that he has won this round, it only means that Xiaomeng's internal strength is not as good as his, but in actual combat, it is hard to say what the outcome will be.
After all, true energy is only one aspect of strength.
The thoughts of an eighteen-year-old girl are really unpredictable!
………………
Daze Mountain, on another road from Luomapo.
At this time, it can be said that there is a gathering of winds and clouds and a gathering of heroes.
The real Zhong Limei was driving a carriage, escorted by nearly a hundred guards, escorting the Stone of Enlightenment and was passing here.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, Zhang Han arranged the Yin Yang Dart this time very roughly. Not only did he arrange the two groups of people so close, but the size of the personnel was uneven.
The real dart looks more reliable than the virtual dart.
There is only one reason for this situation - Zhang Han himself is not very interested.
There are two reasons why he doesn't care.
First of all, the Yinghuo Stone was indeed not the focus of his attention. If this thing was lost, it was lost. The main responsibility belonged to Bai Tu and Wang Li, and it could not fall on him.
Although he was the one who asked for the Yinghuo Stone to be escorted in advance, and he was the one who arranged the Yin Yang Dart plan, but... he could put the blame entirely on Bai Tu.
In officialdom, you must be proficient in how to let others take the blame for you.
Zhang Han has never done this before, because the special nature of the Shadow Guard makes it difficult to find a suitable candidate to take the blame, and he is not someone who likes to shirk responsibility.
But this time, the opportunity was just right, and Bai Tu didn't have any psychological burden on him. It didn't matter if he deceived the other party, and it was considered as purifying the officialdom.
Secondly, even if he seriously planned this escort operation, it would be meaningless.
Bai Tu's military camp is like a sieve, with holes everywhere. Unless he calls all the Shadow Guards to escort him, the plan will be leaked no matter what.
In that case, why should he bother anymore?
In places where Zhong Limei couldn't see, at the surrounding cliffs, stone walls, woods and other places, a large number of manpower from Shennong Hall and Chi You Hall were watching this road and the escort convoy driving on this road.
In addition, there are also Shadow Guards, Gui Gu Zongheng, and Zhong Limei's good brother Han Xin, who are all hiding around and watching the next development of the situation.
On a certain stone wall, Tian Hu crossed his arms and scanned the road below with squinted eyes, muttering:
"The empire's team has arrived, where are the people arranged by Ayan?"
"Don't make mistakes for me at this time!"
Hearing this, Tian Zhong comforted him and said, "Second Master, don't worry, the eldest lady has always been clever and resourceful, so there will definitely be no problem."
While the two were talking, the manpower arranged by Tian Yan finally appeared.
A round figure ran out on the road, holding this lollipop in his hand, wearing colorful clothes, with a big belly, two swords on his back, and a colorful windmill stuck behind his head.
Wandering around - none other than Azhi.
As for why he appeared here... he was naturally ordered by someone else!
Tian Hu and his party did not know this cute little fat guy with a silly smile at all, and were a little confused at the moment.
"This...this is the person arranged by Ayan!?" Tian Hu's voice was more worried than before.
A little fat guy who doesn’t look very young, and he still has such a...such a wise smile on his face - is he a disabled person?
Is Ayan planning to use this silly fat man to win sympathy and trick people in the empire into handing over the Stone of Fire?
After being dumbfounded, he quickly asked Tian Zhong, "Who is this person?"
"No...I don't know!" Tian Zhong was also confused at this time, "I have never heard of...there is such a person in Lieshan Hall!"
"Maybe... it's the master newly recruited by the eldest lady?" Tian Zhong put forward a guess.
When Tian Hu heard this, he immediately sneered and asked, "Do you think he looks like a master?"
"Uh..." Tian Zhong hesitated for a moment, but he didn't have the nerve to give a definite answer.
It really doesn’t look like it!
"Then let's..."
"Hiss..." Tian Hu touched his chin and gritted his teeth and replied, "Let's take a look first..."
He decided to trust his eldest niece... If it didn't work out, they would temporarily take over.
Fortunately, I still have Mr. Jin with me, so I am not left unavailable.
The reactions of Gui Gu Zongheng and Zhang Han, who were also watching the situation on the road, were completely different from Tian Hu's.
"Why is it him..."
On the cliff, Gai Nie, who was standing side by side with Wei Zhuang, could not help but twitch his eyelids. He was very surprised to see A Ci here.
Wei Zhuang on the side also raised his eyebrows, obviously not knowing that Ah Ci would appear here.
Gai Nie glanced at his junior brother's reaction and saw that he probably didn't understand the situation, but he still asked:
"Do you know what's going on?"
"Maybe... it's a surprise?" Wei Zhuang shrugged and answered casually.
He was wondering in his mind whether this was some extra help arranged for him by Gu Xun - of course it didn't refer to Aci. This child rarely acted alone, and there must be others following him.
Gai Nie was a little speechless.
It's a surprise... Do you want to translate for me what a surprise is?
On the other side of the cliff, Zhang Han's reaction was similar to that of Guigu Zongheng. Looking at Ah Ci who suddenly appeared, he didn't know what to say.
Zhang Han smacked his lips and turned back to look at his subordinates:
"Why is this child here?"
"No... I don't know, General, I haven't received any relevant information."
Zhang Han couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with a headache - before coming here, Gu Xun said that he had arranged some help for him, could it be this child?
It feels unreliable...
Of course, this was just a joke. Zhang Han thought about it and realized that Ah Ci was mostly related to the help Gu Xun had prepared for him. It was impossible to really let this immature child help him.
But he was a little curious about what kind of help it would involve this child...
At this time, Zhong Limei's team below also began to approach Aci.
Looking at Aci not far away who seemed to be out for fun, Zhong Limei was also a little confused - he didn't know Aci.
It seemed that he was just a fat passerby who appeared here by chance, and he seemed a bit stupid, but he seemed to have a weapon behind him, and when he saw them, the imperial soldiers had no intention of hiding, and he seemed to be heading towards them.
of.
After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand and shouted loudly, "The whole army is on alert!"
