April muttered: "Why are our lives so miserable? When we return to City No. 10 this time, we must eat hot pot for seven days. No, ten days."
There were good-natured laughters from the crows around: "Boss, they took away all the six-eyed crows in the front battlefield in the south. They are definitely not as easy as us. There is a lot of work this year, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I guess this year
The bonus will not be small.”
A group of extraordinary corpse collectors stood in a bloody battlefield, discussing hot pot and year-end bonuses. The scene was particularly inconsistent.
The crows collected the bodies of the extraordinary ones one by one, and then prepared to continue heading north regardless.
After seeing it, the Great Elder of Huotang asked curiously: "Wait a minute, where are you going?"
April turned around and said strangely: "Of course we will continue to contain extraordinary people. Maybe we can also contain forbidden objects..."
"Huh?" The great elder stroked his beard strangely: "Isn't this your destination this time? There is a field division next door, why don't you go?"
"There's no need to go there," April sighed: "There are people over there who like to use extraordinary people to grow tea, and usually take away the corpse of the extraordinary person directly. We don't want to have a head-on conflict with this person yet, so we plan to boil him to death
, and then go to the tea garden where he was taken in!"
"Ah?" Li Ke was stunned: "The field division next door was handled by Qing's shadow?"
Few people in the Federation knew about Shadow's use of extraordinary people to grow tea, but as a core member of the Li family, Li Ke had naturally heard of it.
Once upon a time, Mrs. Li specially sent people to search for the tea garden, but unfortunately they could not find it.
But what’s a bit strange is that the Forbidden Tribunal actually said it was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with a certain person?
You know, the Forbidden Inquisition is an organization that once housed dying demigods.
Back then, there was a demigod who was about to expire. Because he firmly believed that he would be unable to reincarnate after being taken into custody by the Forbidden Tribunal, he planned to hide in the depths of Forbidden Land No. 001.
As a result, before he could hide in, he was found by the Forbidden Inquisition and was forcibly taken into custody.
The Forbidden Inquisition suffered heavy losses in that battle, but the containment was indeed successful.
The Inquisition rarely does this kind of thing, so much so that many people forget the cruelty of the principles these crows uphold: they occasionally take in living people!
But such a being is unwilling to be an enemy of the Qing family's shadow, and plans to kill the shadow first?
This is too strange.
April thought for a while and explained: "This is a very special existence. He controls time and space at the same time. Fortunately, the world is fair. Such an existence will not exist in the world for too long. We feel that he
The decaying aura on my body, so there’s no need to worry now.”
The Great Elder of Huotang curled his lips: "It turns out that the Taboo Tribunal is also willing to compromise."
April corrected seriously: "This is a strategy."
As we all know, the Forbidden Inquisition was an organization that never talked about strategy.
At this time, Li Yunjing asked: "Is the north your destination?"
April nodded: "This is purely for passing by. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have to work overtime at all... I won't say it anymore, it's almost too late."
The elder of Huotang turned his head and looked to the other side. Ye Wan was walking toward the west with Lin Xiaoxiao on his back: "Hey, boy Ye Wan, aren't you going to the north?"
"No, our mission has been completed," Ye Wan responded calmly.
"Huh? Your boss is obviously going to start a war in the north. If you don't go to help, aren't you afraid that he will die there?" The Great Elder of Huotang gloated: "The Shendai Consortium used two field divisions as bait to kill those who can help him.
Are you all dragging me here thinking about Li Shutong’s life? As far as I know, knights have very long lifespans. A demigod knight like Li Shutong can live at least three to five hundred years.
For those filthy people from the Age of Gods, it is a perfect body...including his disciple Qingchen."
The old man continued to analyze with gloating: "The Gods used such a huge battle, if it was just for a little knight, it would be a bit unjustifiable. So I guess Li Shutong was included in their plan from the beginning.
"
In fact, there is a lot of information that the old man doesn't know, but he is the great elder of Huotang. When he knows that a consortium pays a corresponding price, it must have a plan to match the price.
One Qingchen is not enough to cause such heavy losses to the Age of Gods.
But if it is to capture two perfect bodies, and one of them is a demigod, then the price is justifiable!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Elder of Huotang saw Qin Yi running to the north.
He quickly grabbed the girl and said angrily: "Little ancestor, why are you going?"
"Go help!" Qin Yiyi said.
The great elder was almost furious: "I am irritating them both here, why did I irritate you first!"
This is really a schadenfreude for yourself!
The great elder continued: "Listen to me, it's useless for us to go to the north. It's really useless! Li Yunjing and I are exhausted. If we go there, we will die!"
While talking, the old man took advantage of Qin Yiyi's distraction, knocked her unconscious with a palm, and carried her away to the south: "Everyone, please leave quickly. The gods have lost two field divisions, and there must be real ones."
The main force is here. Ye Wan, no matter whether your boss can survive or not, Huotang’s favor is over anyway! I advise you to go north and help me!"
However, at this time, Ye Wan just thought for a moment and continued walking to the west: "The boss told us to retreat after we have taken care of the field division. In addition, our boss is not as simple as you think. Even if the knights are withered, even if he has already
Even though you are a demigod, you plan how to fight in groups every day."
Fighting in groups seems to be the nature of knights.
If you can fight in a group, you will never fight alone. This is also the tradition of knights from generation to generation.
Many people know that Ye Wan, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Li Dongze were all orphans adopted by Li Shutong, and they were also "messengers" under the Knights organization.
But few people know how many orphans Li Shutong adopted, nor how many messengers there are among this generation of knights.
Just like no one knows that Su Xingzhi, the black market owner in City 18, is also one of the knight couriers.
Moreover, no one knows how many friends a person who upholds romanticism and acts chivalrously and righteously all over the world will have.
…
…
Above the northern snowfields.
After Li Shutong appeared, the snowfield became quiet.
The forces hiding in the dark seem to be weighing and observing, and they are judging whether they should continue to take action.
Life or death, this is a choice that must be made carefully.
Li Shutong stood there and was not in a hurry. He allowed the enemy to think carefully. After all, fighting him was worth making a careful decision.
The master looked at his apprentice curiously: "I just saw you blowing a breath of knight's energy...how did you do it?"
Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "Master, you have been here a long time ago, and then you want to see me being scratched by that white tiger?"
Li Shutong said with a smile: "If there are no injuries on the knight's body, can he still be called a knight? As a master, I have to check the progress of my apprentice. You have grown up faster than I thought. I completed the four life and death tests back then.
, but it took a full two years, and on average, I had to train for half a year before each life-and-death challenge before I could barely meet the qualifications to challenge."
Li Shutong brought the topic back: "First, let's talk about your knightly energy."
Qingchen understood, and Master was envious...
Yes, Li Shutong was very sure that what Qingchen just used was a knight's method, but as the leader of the knight generation, why didn't he realize such a powerful large-scale killing skill?
The ability to cause large-scale damage is every knight’s dream!
Qingchen thought for a while and explained seriously and quietly: "Master, my knight's true energy has accumulated too much after it turned into a gas, so now it has penetrated the whole body and become a liquid. After becoming a liquid, it will naturally have this
ability."
"After the gaseous state, there is also a liquid state?!" Li Shutong raised an eyebrow. How could such a good thing happen?!
He knew that his apprentice was special, but he never expected that he would be special to this extent. He would awaken and liquefy the knight's true energy...
Qingchen thought for a while and figured out the clues: "The ancestor of Qin Sheng went to kidnap the Buddha in the snowy mountains in the southwest, and then took away his accurate reference..."
Li Shutong interrupted Qingchen and corrected him: "He voluntarily gave it to the knight."
Qingchen paused for a moment, and said to himself that his master actually knew that period of history: "Yeah, it was voluntary. There are four sections in total of the quasi-prescription, and the first three sections were discarded because they were useless to the knights. But I
Later, I discovered in the Akiba Villa that after becoming a knight, practicing the quasi-ti method can continue to increase the knight's vitality without challenging the life and death test."
The method of cultivating knight's Qi has always been very simple: after level B, complete the life and death test, and then increase it.
"No," Li Shutong shook his head: "The ancestors have recorded this matter. When knights practice the quasi-ti method, what they get is quasi-ti zhenqi, not the knight's zhenqi."
The prerequisite for a knight to challenge the life and death test is that he must use reverse breathing to return to the state of an ordinary person.
But if there is Zhenqi in the body, then even if the reverse breathing technique is turned on, the knight is still not an ordinary person.
If you are not an ordinary person, there is no point in completing the life and death test.
Only after becoming a demigod, and the knight's true energy spreads all over the body, can the Zhunti true energy be forcibly absorbed into the knight's true energy. But by then, the knight's true energy has already spread all over the body, and any further practice of the Zhunti method will be accompanied by pain in the meridians.
.
Therefore, the knight abandoned the first three breathing techniques.
But now, Li Shutong was moved. He wanted to try it despite the pain in his meridians to see if the knight's true energy would turn into a liquid state if it reached a certain level.
If possible, then the knight's demigod level will add a new method.
On the other hand, Qingchen was thinking that his B-level cloud energy was already very terrifying, so what would happen if a demigod-level master used it?!
Li Shutong smiled and said: "I didn't expect that there would be something new to gain before the fight started."
The two masters and apprentices even started chatting on the battlefield.
The next moment, Li Shutong raised his head and looked ahead. There was a tauren over four meters tall, carrying a huge nine-ring sword, slowly walking towards him.
The ground trembled with every step he took.
Li Shutong smiled and said: "Nutau-headed Rakshasa."
As the bull-headed Rakshasa breathed, his breath formed mist in the cold air, like a steam engine.
On the left, a short dwarf with black fur all over his body was jumping up and down.
"The Military Headquarters."
On the right, there is a young man carrying a huge wine gourd, with red hair and bare feet on the ice and snow.
"Swine swallowing boy."
Behind him, a tall, strange monster with a red face and a long nose, wearing a monk's robe, high-toothed wooden clogs, and holding a feather fan and a hammer, was staring closely at Li Shutong.
"The Great Tengu."
Li Shutong smiled and said: "They are all old turtle's shikigami. It seems that old turtle has made a decision. Disciple, you have dealt with these onmyojis, right?"
"Yeah," Qingchen nodded.
"To give you a little common sense, among the Onmyoji shikigami, there are many shikigami with the same name as our mythical beasts, such as Guhuotiao and Zhu Jiuyin, but they copied them. Of course, they like to control shikigami.
We can't control what they are called, but Master will teach you a way to distinguish them. Ours are gods, and theirs are ghosts."
Qingchen smiled and said: "This method of distinguishing is quite simple."
…
…
In an instant, Li Shutong beside Qingchen disappeared.
Just like a 155-caliber artillery suddenly fired, the huge recoil kicked up the snow and smoke behind him. Qingchen had no choice but to cover his eyes with his arms, and the snow and wind blew his clothes and hair back.
When he put down his arms, he suddenly saw Li Shutong appearing in front of Shutun Tongzi.
Punch out.
As he shook his fist, the wind and snow surged.
The red-haired boy crossed his arms in front of him in an attempt to block the punch, but before he could cross his arms, the punch had already passed through the gap between his arms.
roar!
Trembling!
Shuten Doji rolled and flew dozens of meters as if he had been hit by a howitzer in the face.
A terrifying wave of air blasted away a radial trace in the snow behind Shuten Tongzi.
Qingchen watched helplessly as his master struck with all his strength, completely stunned.
This shikigami is different from the ones he fought before. The ones he fought were either B-level or A-level, but this is a real S-level shikigami.
But still in front of Li Shutong, he didn't even have the ability to block!
He thought that when his master was at full strength, he might become the pinnacle of human martial arts like Kame Sennin, and that was about it.
Qingchen never expected that when his master was at full power, he would be in Super Saiyan, One Punch Man mode!
It's not over yet.
However, they saw the commander of the army roar loudly, and hundreds of steel halberds suddenly appeared in the sky, covering several hundred meters of Li Shutong's area in matrix mode.
Hundreds of halberds fell, as if they were going to collapse the ground and penetrate the center of the earth! This is the power of S-class shikigami!
But Li Shutong did not dodge, he held up a few snowflakes from the air and shot them into the sky, smashing the halberds that were shot around him.
He stood in this matrix of halberds pouring down like a torrential rain, unscathed.
It was as if the military commander deliberately avoided Li Shutong when attacking.
In an instant, Li Shutong caught a halberd from mid-air with his bare hands and threw it towards the commander of the army!
With a buzzing sound, the halberd seemed to resonate with the space. When the halberd fired, the air it drove pushed away the snow below, just like a speedboat breaking through the waves of the sea.
The dwarf soldier was hit in the head by his own halberd and flew backwards!
The Big Tengu and the Bull-headed Rakshasa moved, and they headed straight for Qingchen.
Qingchen felt like he was standing on his head with every hair on his body. The moment the S-class shikigami took action, he even had an idea that he couldn't avoid!
There's no way to avoid it!
will die!
"roll."
Li Shutong said casually.
This just happened in an instant. Qingchen didn't even realize what happened, and Li Shutong had already returned to him.
The big tengu who was originally carrying drumsticks to kill Qingchen, and the bull-headed Rakshasa who was carrying the nine-ring knife to chop Qingchen, saw that Li Shutong had returned to Qingchen, and immediately stepped back in horror.
The high-toothed clogs were crushed underfoot!
At a certain moment, Qingchen suddenly had a feeling that there are actually subdivided realms within the S-level, such as S-level, SS-level, SSS-level are all S-level...
And sss and s are very different...
Previously, he was still thinking about what the master should do when faced with the twelve S-level shikigami of Kamdai Old Oogway, but now he realized that he was worrying too much!
If Li Shutong hadn't protected him on the battlefield, the remaining big tengu and bull-headed Rakshasa would have suffered heavy losses.
Only then did Qingchen remember what his master had just said: Did you see it? This is the knight!
Li Shutong stood next to Qingchen, red flame lines spreading on his cheeks, his breathing was even, and there was no sign of exhaustion at all.
This means that the battle just now was just a warm-up...
"Master, why can't this S-level shikigami die?" Qingchen asked with a frown.
In front of them, the dwarf soldier leader clearly had a halberd stuck on his forehead, but he still slowly struggled to stand up.
In this way, wouldn't the battle be endless, and we must find the Onmyoji behind them?
Li Shutong thought: "Only four of the twelve shikigami were released. What was the old turtle planning?"
Qingchen asked from the side: "Master, am I holding you back?"
If it weren't for him, Li Shutong could have rushed to find the old turtle's true body. After all, to kill the Onmyoji, he had to kill the true body first.
But Li Shutong had to protect Qingchen, and he couldn't take Qingchen with him.
As a result, Li Shutong could only continue to guard here.
Li Shutong smiled and said: "There is nothing that can hold us back. Just stand here and watch."
While talking, Qingchen suddenly looked into the distance, where a strange man stood quietly, with bare hands, but he was particularly eye-catching.
At first glance, this person is obviously very small in the field of vision, but he cannot be ignored.
The natural focus, the center of the world.
Qingchen had the same feeling about Li Shutong, just like when he was in Prison No. 18, he noticed Li Shutong's difference at a glance.
That is the sense of harmony in which the demigods gradually merge with the world after transcending the mortal world. They breathe the heaven and the earth and overlook all living beings!
"Master, is this the old turtle from the Kamishiro family?" Qingchen asked.
Li Shutong said with a smile: "No, this is the younger brother of the head of the Kashima family, Li Bingxi. It seems that after the old turtle and the shadow deal failed, he found the Kashima family and must have paid a huge price. Qingchen, it's not you who dragged me away.
Hind leg, maybe they came for you at first, but after Jindai Yunhe found a way to pass on the news that you are the successor of the knight, this game became prepared for me."
"Isn't Shendai Yunhe dead?" Qingchen frowned.
"No, you broke one of his arms, and he just installed a mechanical prosthesis in City 22 a few days ago. The old guy from the Qing family spared his life, maybe because he wanted to keep it to continue to sharpen you," Li Shutong laughed.
Said: "If you want to talk about ruthlessness, this one is more ruthless. You must be careful with him, he has no feelings."
Qingchen was stunned for a moment. This so-called "old guy" of the Qing family is probably the head of the Qing family, right?
Before this, Shadow had never mentioned anything about this old man to him, but now Li Shutong revealed a little bit of the secret to him.
At this time, Li Bingxi came slowly from the distance. A Kashima demigod, a Goddess demigod, and a knight demigod all gathered here.
Qingchen guessed that this kind of battle might only happen once in a century.
