Both Li Chengdao and Wild Wolf misjudged each other's strength.
When they were in the snowy mountain, Li Chengdao was beaten by Long Chen and fell off the cliff as soon as he made a move. He looked very weak.
In addition, Li Yuanba's cultivation was average among the generals in the past, so the wild wolf developed a contempt for him, and dared to shout to kill Li Chengdao with three white wolves.
Li Chengdao, on the other hand, was ignorant. At first he thought that Wild Wolf was a subordinate of the Martial Saint, and must be a master. He should not be able to defeat him, so he wanted to seek peace and avoid war.
Unexpectedly, after the fight started, we found that the wild wolf was nothing more than this.
The wild wolf is an assassin, good at surprise attacks and assassinations. Li Chengdao protects his body with a turtle shield. He is surrounded by snowfields and there is no hiding place. The wild wolf cannot attack suddenly. His attack method loses its effect and he is restrained by Li Chengdao.
After discovering that the wild wolf's attack was no more than that, Li Chengdao became arrogant again and relaxed his vigilance. As a result, the wild wolf attacked and bit his neck.
As an assassin under the Martial Saint, as long as there is the slightest chance, the wild wolf can successfully attack.
His neck was bitten tightly, and the wolf's bite force was amazing. Li Chengdao felt that half of his neck was torn open, and the blood was sucked into the mouth by the wolf.
If the stalemate continues, it's not certain who will die.
Li Chengdao felt dizzy, and the fear of death made him try his best. The spirit snake suddenly exerted its force, swallowing the wild wolf into the air, and absorbed the wild wolf's true energy with force, and even sucked out the vitality and blood of the body.
The wild wolf hugged Li Chengdao tightly with both hands, and kept biting and sucking blood. When Li Chengdao was about to faint due to the wolf poison and blood loss, the spirit snake suddenly reversed and swallowed him.
The essence and blood are sucked out and swallowed.
Yelang was startled. He remembered that the Li family practiced Xuanwu Jue.
It is said that this technique has a highest level, which is swallowing.
Devouring by spiritual snakes, transforming by black turtles, the supreme mystery of Xuanwu Art.
It's a pity that Li Yuanba's qualifications are mediocre and he failed to reach the highest level of cultivation.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuanba's descendants actually realized the devouring process when they were about to die.
The pores on the wild wolf's body are like leaky sieves, constantly leaking Qi and blood. The white Qi and red blood are mixed together, and are continuously sucked out by the spirit snake. The strong wild wolf gradually becomes shriveled and thin.
"you..."
Finally, the wild wolf was sucked dry, the body's strength disappeared, and his mouth and hands were released. Li Chengdao grabbed the wild wolf's neck and hands and tore them apart fiercely.
The body split open, but no blood flowed out because it had been sucked dry.
"You bitch, you bastard!"
Li Chengdao frantically tore at the body of the wild wolf, cursing incessantly, until he ran out of strength and sat on the ground.
The body of the wild wolf was broken into pieces and scattered on the ground.
Li Chengdao carefully raised his hand and touched his neck. The wound was very serious. The canine teeth went deep into his throat and almost bit off the cervical vertebrae.
However, after absorbing the blood essence of the wild wolf, the wound healed quickly and the wolf poison dissipated.
"Swallow, this is swallow..."
Li Chengdao burst out laughing. He felt that he was a blessing in disguise, and he actually understood the supreme meaning of Xuanwu Jue at the moment of life and death.
Gao Qinhu said that Li Chengdao had mastered the supreme secret that Li Yuanba could not practice.
"Heaven will not fail me!"
Li Chengdao looked up to the sky and laughed, feeling that God had finally been kind to him.
The ancestor Li Yuanba's qualifications are not as good as those of Long Yuan and Di Feng, so he cannot realize the supreme secret by practicing Xuanwu Jue.
But after becoming emperor, after four hundred years, the qualifications of his descendants continued to improve.
As an emperor, you can marry the most beautiful and intelligent women. With each generation improving, the qualifications of your descendants will definitely get better and better.
Some of the founding emperors were short and poor, but within a few generations they became rich and handsome.
Of course, there are also future generations who cannot do it.
Li Chengdao's qualifications are getting better and better, surpassing Li Yuanba and attaining the level of Devouring.
Li Chengdao slowly stood up and entered the basalt state. The basalt turtle shield was no longer transparent, but had turtle patterns. The spirit snake poked its head out from under the turtle's back, and its two eyes glowed red.
After devouring the wild wolf, Li Chengdao could clearly feel that his cultivation level had improved.
"Ghost Fetus, Long Chen..."
Li Chengdao stood in the snow and laughed wildly for a long time. He had not been so happy for a long time.
The bodies of the wild wolf and the white wolf were torn into pieces and buried in the snow. Li Chengdao slowly moved northwest, looking for the ghost fetus.
...
The empress ran wildly in the snow, chasing the direction in which the ghost fetus was escaping, with Long Chen following behind.
After chasing for unknown distance, the empress fell down on the snow. Long Chen stepped forward to help the empress up and let her sit down slowly.
The empress looked at the vast expanse of ice and snow, her eyes full of unwillingness.
The emperor's spirit was in the snowy mountains, but was transferred away by the ghost fetus. Even though he knew that the queen mother was still alive, he could not save her.
The empress hugged Long Chen and cried bitterly.
Long Chen patted the empress on the back, not knowing how to comfort her.
Long Chen deeply understands the pain of losing a loved one.
After she finished crying and venting her emotions, the empress leaned against Long Chen weakly and remained silent without saying a word.
The empress who looked down upon the world looked like a helpless little woman at the moment.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Even though I know it's impossible to rescue my mother, I still insist on coming."
The empress knew that it would be impossible to save the emperor's spirit, and the ghost fetus would definitely transfer.
Long Chen sighed slightly and said: "This is the filial piety that should be fulfilled, not stupidity."
Knowing that his biological mother is imprisoned, as a child, he will definitely rescue her.
As for whether he can be rescued, it depends on ability and luck.
The empress slowly let go of her hand. Long Chen wiped away the tears of the empress and said: "The people have moved away and it is difficult to search. Why not go back to the snow mountain and see if we can find some clues."
"Gao Qinhu and Ji Zhang are not here. They probably have other plans."
Long Chen was well prepared to deal with Gui Fei, Li Chengdao, Gao Qinhu, and Ji Zhang.
As a result, wild wolves were killed halfway, and Gao Qinhu and Ji Zhang disappeared.
Even if Gao Qinhu dies or is no longer seriously injured, Ji Zhang should be here to help with the siege.
Because Ji Zhang had just surrendered to Guitei, he had to act as a pawn and sacrifice his life in order to show his loyalty and his complete break with Long Chen.
But Ji Zhang didn't show up, which was very strange. He must have gone to do something else.
The empress stood up slowly, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back."
It is no longer possible to find the emperor's spirit. The empress's emotions have been vented and her inner thoughts have become clear.
As the sky darkened, the two of them walked back slowly.
...
To the south, Rhinoceros City.
This place is located on the southwest border of Nanliang and is the junction of Nanliang and southwest barbarians.
Rhinoceros City is rich in rhinoceros leather armor. It was originally the capital of a small country. Later, after it was conquered by Nanliang, it became a military town of Nanliang in the southwest border.
After Ji Xianxian arrived here, he captured Rhinoceros City and became the city actually controlled by Ji Xianxian.
After the fall of Nanliang, the barbarians in the southwest gathered their forces in an attempt to break through Xicheng and reoccupy it.
Ji Xianxian gathered his troops and defeated the besieging southwestern barbarians. The main force of the army was stationed in Xicheng, preparing to regain his homeland and rebuild a powerful Qielan Kingdom.
In the Commander's Mansion in Rhinoceros City, Ji Xianxian held a secret report in her hand, Ya'er sat next to her, and Xiaoqin was also there.
"Father really left Yanmen Pass and joined the ghost clan?"
Ji Xianxian put down the secret report and sighed helplessly.
Xiaoqin said carefully: "For now...the information we have received is this, but it may not be accurate. I will ask again."
The news was sent to Xicheng from Yanmen Pass, and Xiaoqin immediately reported it to Ji Xianxian.
After reading the secret report, Ji Xianxian felt tangled in her heart. The situation she was most worried about had happened.
Ji Zhang defected to the ghost clan and stood on the opposite side of Long Chen. The two sides fought to the death.
Based on her understanding of Long Chen, Ji Zhang will definitely not end well if he goes against Long Chen.
"Where are the others? They also went outside the customs?"
Ji Xianxian knew that Ji Ba was taken in by Ji Zhang and was still treating Ji Ba's injuries. Wu Yue, Zuo Si and the others also returned to Ji Zhang's command.
