Chapter 230 The gods have no merit, the saints have no name
The two square-shaped painted halberds were bathed in source power and kept arcing, like two flames dancing in the dark rainy night.
There was a metallic sound, and the weapon in Lu Lingqiu's hand was held by the diagonal fork on Fang Tian's painted halberd, and Lu Bu suddenly raised it.
Lu Lingqiu's eyes changed slightly. He was forced to let go of the halberd in his hand and flew into the dense rain of falling arrows.
Fang Tian's painting halberd fell to the ground and was stuck on the muddy ground in the heavy rain. The painting pole kept trembling with a buzzing sound.
Lu Lingqiu's body could not move because the sharp blade of the halberd in Lu Bu's hand was pressed against her neck.
The heavy rain washed away Lu Bu's armor, giving it a deep matte finish, like a bronze cauldron washed away by running water.
Lu Bu spoke slowly, his eyes indifferent, as if looking down at a corpse, and said:
"You are no match for me."
"I know." Lu Lingqiu raised his neck and looked directly at Lu Fengxian, who was like a ghost.
"Then why do you still attack me?" Lu Bufeng's eyes flashed with a trace of violence: "Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"
Lu Lingqiu's eyes flickered, head raised and silent.
I am the ‘Broken Army Star’ of Central Continent. Even if I sacrifice myself, I must set an example.
Moreover, I am the only one here who can stop Lu Bu... even to buy a little time.
This little time may become the key to turning the tide of the war!
Mo Yao stood on the ancient city wall and shouted: "Launch!"
Three Mohist siege crossbows were placed on the city wall, and each siege crossbow was manned by two card masters.
During the time Lu Lingqiu fought for, the preparations for the siege crossbow were completed.
The white light condensed the invisible crossbow bolts, and the three crossbow bolts were fired like three powerful laser cannons.
Lu Bu glanced at it lightly, and Fang Tian's painted halberd waved out a majestic crimson light, and the arc light collided with the crossbow arrow.
Boom!!
The light cannon exploded a few meters away from Lu Bu. Hot wind blew in all directions, and white mist rose in the rainy night.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Lingqiu kicked up Fang Tian's painted halberd with his foot, held it in his hand, and used the halberd technique like a turbulent wave towards Lu Bu.
Lu Bu retreated repeatedly but did not fight back. He ordered: "Uncle Feng, Master Yu, take care of the defenders on the city!"
Feilian's speed was astonishing, he stirred up strong winds and swooped towards the battlements, just like a flying knife that took people's lives.
Shang Yang continued to dance, letting the heavy rain fall on the inside of the ancient city wall, as if it was about to collapse the surrounding walls with floods.
Looking at Fei Lian rushing towards him, Mo Yao's face changed slightly, she clenched her silver teeth and took out the glittering vehicle card from the storage card with her backhand.
"You forced me to do this!" Mo Yao poured power into the vehicle card.
The name of this vehicle card is: Giant Machine Man Mohist Giant Type 3000.
The Mohist family has a strict organization, and its leader is the giant. This giant mecha is named after the Mohist giant, and has been developed to model 3000, which is equivalent to a super mecha!
A huge mecha with a height of 20 meters appeared in the city. The whole body was made of bronze and mithril. The core was a source power boiler, and the joints were connected by chains.
Mo Yao was sitting in the cockpit of the 'Moji Juzi', stepping on various pedals with her two long legs, controlling the complex console with both hands, and shouted:
"This is the true form of the Mohist machine technique!"
Master Feng Boyu was stunned, and Lu Bu's expression was also a little frozen.
"There are indeed many things in this era that I don't understand." Lu Bu thought to himself.
The card masters on the city wall looked up at the 'Moji Giant' with shocked expressions on their faces.
"How many black technologies does the Mo family have?"
"Who can resist a Mohist giant who can drive a giant robot?"
"Mojia technology is shocking!"
Bang!!
The right arm of the 'Mo Jia Zi Hao' ejected directly and hit the dancing Shang Yang with its flying fist.
Fei Lian, who was swooping in, was bounced away by the protective shield that appeared around the 'Moji Juzi'.
He single-handedly suppressed the two demonic beasts Fei Lian and Shang Yang. Mo Yao in the cockpit couldn't help but laugh and feel a little distressed.
The Mo family's giant account is good at everything, but it's too expensive... It costs hundreds of high-level source cards to be used once!
With Mo Yao's powerful display, the situation reached a stalemate. Lu Lingqiu took advantage of the situation and retreated to the city.
Lu Bu also ordered Feng Boyu's division to retreat temporarily and reorganize their offensive.
Taotie pulled the Luanyu dragon chariot and crossed the river. Emperor Xin said to him:
"Why haven't you attacked the city yet?"
"You have also seen that there is a bronze man who is like a heavenly soldier." Lu Bu said, "Since we don't know the details, it is better to let Shang Yang continue to dance and use water to attack. The city will be destroyed if it is not attacked."
Water attack is naturally a strategy for stability, but it will consume more time.
Although Emperor Xin was angry, he could not find fault with Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was waiting for the opponent's support to arrive, and then Di Xin had no choice but to fight in person.
In this way, attacking Di Xin will be foolproof.
When it comes to backstabbing, Lu Fengxian is a professional!
*
A tributary of the Yellow River, along the Weishui River.
Forgetting the affairs of the secular world, Jiang Shang did nothing and continued to fish by himself.
The Banjiao Qingniu swung its tail and chewed weeds under the big tree next to him. From time to time, it looked at the Taoist priests fishing along the river.
Ever since he was a child, Jiang Shang has had bad luck, and he often falls into the air force when fishing. According to the master who taught him Taoism, this is because Jiang Shang has "weak luck."
Everyone's destiny is determined by heaven. With Jiang Shang's destiny and luck, he was not suitable for spiritual practice, but he still followed the Tao with integrity.
According to Jiang Shang, this is because he is too lazy and Confucianism is not suitable for him. It is Taoism that travels away from the world and is more leisurely and happy.
Fate gave Jiang Shang very bad luck, but gave him extremely high talent.
Because his character coincides with the Taoist philosophy, he does not need to fight or hone his skills. He can steadily improve his strength by fishing every day.
But at the seventh level, when heading towards the eighth level holy realm, we encountered a bottleneck.
The materials for the Divine Whip to break through to the eighth level have obviously been prepared, but Jiang Shang's own source of power has stayed at the peak of the seventh level, and he has been unable to break through for a long time.
Due to the turmoil in Central Continent, there was an urgent need for Jiang Shang to step into the Holy Realm to replenish his fighting strength, so Jiang Shang also began to force himself to practice.
But the more Jiang Shang desires, the slower his strength grows. Sometimes he retreats instead of advancing, which only makes him laugh bitterly.
In the end, Jiang Shang decided to transfer the position of Wu Quxing to Lin Xiao, and returned to the Weishui River to fish in the turbulent times.
Although it is shameful to escape, it is useful.
Gradually, amid the swaying reeds and the gentle evening breeze, Jiang Shang temporarily forgot about the sufferings of Zhongzhou and became passionate about fishing every day, but he never caught any fish in a day.
Jiang Shang felt that he was like a tank full of water. Every day a drop of raindrop fell from the eaves, falling on the full water, causing ripples, but it never overflowed.
At this time, all you have to do is wait...wait for a gust of wind to blow up.
Thick dark clouds floated in the sky in the distance, and there was a surge of evil spirits. The Weishui River was shocked and the fish jumped out of the water.
"Moo!" Banjiao Qingniu looked up at the sky, roaring like thunder, with a solemn look in his eyes.
The enemy is not far from here...it is also located in the Yellow River Basin, probably in the Guanzhong area.
Banjiao Qingniu looked at Jiang Shang's back, wanting to remind him to go to support, but saw that his back was as still as a pine tree, holding the bamboo fishing rod like a statue.
The bamboo fishing rod trembled slightly, rising and falling. The thin Taoist priest concentrated on adjusting the slender fishing line, as if he was afraid that any breath would startle the fish that took the bait.
The shadow of a fish can already be seen under the water...not a water plant, not a dragon, just an ordinary river fish.
However, Jiang Shang was filled with sadness.
Lifting the pole with a roar, Jiang Shang looked at the big fish that soared into the air, like a pair of wings, and drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and exhaled a sigh of relief.
He seemed to let go of his grudge and had an epiphany. He looked at the big fish falling into the water again, with a smile on his face.
A perfect person has no self, a god has no merit, and a saint has no name.
For me, if I want to be a saint, I just need to have nothing in mind.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the spirit of freedom surged out of the slim Taoist priest.
Banjiao Qingniu noticed the strange aura and opened his eyes like bells.
I just caught a fish and let the fish run away, but in the end, I achieved a breakthrough?
It's so easy to become a saint...it's strange for a Taoist priest!
Jiang Shang patted the green bull's horns, sat sideways, and said gently:
"Let's go to Guanzhong and have a look."
Looking at the ominous sky, Jiang Shang's eyes were clear and he murmured:
"If you can't fight, just run away..."
My field is not as good as Lin Xiao, and I have almost no lethality. But I still have no problem protecting everyone.
…
In the dark night, Shang Yang dances.
The torrential rain was like a reservoir opening its gates. Tens of thousands of tons of water fell in the center of the city, and the water had already reached the city walls.
If they leave the city, they cannot defeat Lu Fengxian. If they continue to defend the city, they will not be able to deal with Shang Yang. If they retreat, they will not be able to protect ordinary citizens.
Mo Yao glanced at the card "Mo Family Giant" in his hand, gritted his teeth and said:
"Let me attack again."
Lu Lingqiu tried to dissuade him: "Wait a moment... Lord Greedy Wolf Star said Lord Wu Quxing is coming this way."
Mo Yao was startled: "Lin Xiao is rushing this way?"
Lu Lingqiu nodded.
Although it was good news... Mo Yao glanced at the majestic Luan Yu dragon chariot in the distance with complicated eyes... But there was still an enemy in the dragon chariot who had not yet appeared.
Even if Wu Quxing arrives, he will still have to face the attacks from Shang Yang, Fei Lian, Qiong Qi, Taotie, and the two Chi You envoys at the same time.
Mo Yao couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
Among the black clouds, a green bull with flat horns flew towards it.
If you look closely, you will find that it has clouds and mist at its feet and a human figure on its back.
A trace of speculation flashed through Mo Yao's heart, and she looked surprised.
"Jiang Shang?"
After experiencing an epiphany on the banks of the Weishui River, Jiang Shang possessed the eighth-level strength of a saint. He found Mo Yao and others and ordered the Banjiaoqingniu to fall on the city.
Jiang Shang briefly summarized the current situation to Mo Yao and Lu Lingqiu, and said that he had mastered the field and could barely participate in a battle of Lin Xiao and Lu Bu's level.
"The top priority is to deal with the 'Rain Master' Shang Yang." Lu Lingqiu said: "Otherwise, the entire city will be flooded!"
Jiang Shang nodded: "I'll try my best."
The magic whip is bathed in golden light and floats into the air.
Jiang Shang raised the magic whip and controlled it out of thin air to fall towards the dancing Shang Yang, but was blocked by Lu Bu's halberd.
Lu Bu stared at Jiang Shang and thought to himself, although he is not as good as Lin Xiao, he can still force Emperor Xin to take action.
Silver light suddenly pierced out, and Lu Bu, bathed in unparalleled aura, raised his halberd to kill Jiang Shang in mid-air.
Jiang Shang did not hesitate and expanded his own domain, "The Nameless Saint".
The red field spread in all directions. Lu Bu was shocked to find that his speed had slowed down, but he still thrust out a halberd.
Jiang Shang quickly retreated, turned his sleeves and threw out "Tiangang Magic: Flying Sand and Rocks", causing Lu Bu to lose his way temporarily.
The domain effect of "The Nameless Saint" is to weaken the opponent's domain until both domains become ineffective.
After all, in the eyes of Zhuang Zhou, who inherited Laozi’s thoughts, ‘sages’ were not worthy of being respected, as long as they followed Tao and nature.
"The Nameless Saint" can also invalidate multiple eighth-level domains at the same time, analogous to "I don't want to be a saint, and you shouldn't be either."
But even without a domain, Lu Bu is still an unparalleled strong man in the world.
Relying on Tiangang's magic and exclusive domain, Jiang Shang and Lu Bu kept fighting and seemed to be at a disadvantage.
However, Lu Bu did not act cruelly, as if he was playing tricks on his enemy.
Di Xin couldn't bear it anymore and ordered:
"Qiongqi, Taotie, you two take action together!"
Two of the four evil men attacked Jiang Shang together. Even if Jiang Shang stepped into the sanctuary, the situation was still precarious.
The flat-horned green bull on the city wall growled uneasily, but saw waves several feet high suddenly explode on the Yellow River where the black wind was roaring.
Lu Lingqiu's pupils shrank: "What is that?"
"roar!!"
The giant ape with a green body and white head, snow teeth and golden claws stood in the middle of the turbulent Yellow River, bared its fangs towards Feng Boyu Master, and let out a furious roar.
This giant ape is more than 20 meters long, bigger and bigger than the 'Moji Giant', and its visual effect is more domineering and ferocious than Taotie and Qiongqi.
Jiang Shang was shocked and confused, not knowing whether this giant ape was an enemy or a friend.
Even if it was Lu Bu, he was a little unsure about paying attention.
"This is the God of Huai River, Wuzhi Qi!" Mo Yao's voice was unbelievable.
But why did He appear here?
Could it be that... Wuzhi Qi also obeyed Chi You's orders!
On the city wall, everyone's nerves were tense again. They looked up at the giant ape and let out a breath of air.
"No." Lu Lingqiu said quickly: "This is not Chi You's subordinate. Taotie and Qiongqi attacked it!"
Facing the giant ape that suddenly appeared from behind, the two ferocious beasts turned and looked back, sharing the same hatred and rushing toward Wuzhi Qi in the Yellow River.
The situation was once very chaotic: the Yellow River, the coast, and the city were fighting in three directions.
"roar!!"
Wu Zhi Qi was extremely powerful, grabbing the relatively small beast with two sharp claws, and slammed Taotie and Qiongqi together, smashing them into pieces.
"Wuzhiqi... seems to be helping us?" Mo Yao said in surprise.
"It's not Wuzhiqi who is helping us..."
Lu Lingqiu looked up at the dark sky, and a light flashed in his eyes:
"It's Master Wu Quxing."
In the gloomy sky, pale lightning flashed, and heavy rain fell on the roaring Yellow River.
Under the sky, a pitch-black realm spread out in all directions. A man in black armor carried a big sword on his back, overlooking the battlefield from a high position.
The beaded curtain of the extremely luxurious Luanyu dragon carriage was opened, and a man wearing a crown and looking like an emperor stepped out.
Di Xin looked at Lin Xiao, seeming to appreciate it, and slowly said:
"Serve a few people, and I will make you a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."
Lin Xiao was speechless. He picked up the big sword covered with dark flames, swooped down like a meteor, and slashed with sword power!
