The alarm bells were ringing in the Holy King's Palace.
In addition to the first wave of palace guards who arrived, the Holy King Talos and the Witch God Fu Er mentioned by Sogen Yagyu, the following people also arrived in a steady stream.
There were cultivators from the Kingdom of Ying who entered, as well as royal figures from the Kingdom of Ying, headed by Prince Renhe.
But what was more surging was the constant gathering of guards, accompanied by the cave-heaven dignitaries from the other two palaces.
"Yagyu Sogen, there is indeed something wrong behind your head."
An extremely strong blue-skinned lizard man was wearing purple leather armor from top to bottom, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. When his sword and shield met, there was a huge earthquake sound.
In order to prevent possible battles, auxiliary magic would fall on him from the sky from time to time.
Seeing his body swelling more and more, his aura also increased, and he was on a par with Yagyu Somoto.
"The Brave Kebas."
Yagyu Sogen narrowed his eyes slightly, then moved his gaze away from this powerful lizard man and looked at the only human in the four palaces.
That was the first generation queen of the Beidao royal family of the Ying Kingdom, and the current queen Edney.
After nearly a thousand years, Edney does not look old. Compared with the oil paintings preserved by the royal family, she looks like a normal human being who has entered her twenties and forties, and still maintains her original appearance.
At this time, she seemed a little silent, and did not put too much caution on Yagyu Somoto, but the complex look in her eyes was difficult to understand.
"What I want is relative fairness and freedom of choice. Is there any great master in the world who can't even control his own life like us?"
Yagyu Sogen pointed to the crystal ball in Fu Er's hand. He used to think that the puppet forest was a place of glory, but now he just felt like a tomb when he looked at it.
Relying on this secret technique that made it difficult for other countries to guard against, he survived unimaginable disasters.
But also because of this secret technique, his soul cannot be unified. Among the top figures in many big countries, his strength is inferior to that of many.
As his strength increased and the "Secret Technique of Immortality" reached its climax, he felt a kind of confinement and even a huge risk that was difficult to control, which made him feel quite panicked.
"Cut off my connection with Jianmu, return my soul, and give us the right to choose and give up."
Not familiar with the witchcraft of the other world, even Yagyu Somoto had to rely on these people to lift the confinement of the "Secret Technique of Immortality".
"Jie Jie Jie, you think you can take these benefits when you want to take them, and throw them away when you want to throw them away." Fu Er grinned and said: "Some people before you also thought this way, and now the grass on their puppets has dried up.
It’s been a hundred years.”
"There seems to be someone named Sasaki Jiro, the number one swordsman who is called the number one swordsman by you strangers." Kebas said with a cruel smile: "Back then, I turned him into a scum with one sword after another."
"Unfamiliar white-eyed wolf" Talos also took a sip.
"This is a demon tree that shouldn't exist. I can feel it swallowing our souls, years, and even lives." Sogen Yagyu said unwillingly: "While borrowing its power, we also became its
Fertilizer, it is constantly asking for it from us."
"There is no power for nothing in this world. Compared to death, you have gained too much. Young people, don't be too greedy." Edney finally spoke.
"So I want the right to choose. I have given Jianmu what I have to pay and what I have to take back. You should let go instead of trapping us in this tree."
Yagyu Sogen's eyes swept across the numerous Ying Kingdom cultivators. Some of these practitioners were shocked, confused, and panicked. After listening for a long time, they naturally knew what Yagyu Sogen was talking about.
Even the great masters can't avoid it. There are more backdoors to this powerful secret than they imagined.
"Dissolve the connection between me and Jianmu. You own my life gate, but at this time I also own your life gate. This kind of deal is very cost-effective." Sogen Yagyu pointed to the items hidden in the crystal box.
"Hahaha, Mingmen."
Kebas laughed, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.
"You think that's our fate?" Fu Er also laughed.
"What?" Sogen Yagyu felt a chill in his heart.
"We are different," Edney whispered, "Immortality and immortality are different from the beginning. The setting point of immortality is only a guarantee of safety. Being destroyed will not cause any damage to our bodies."
"Kneel down and accept surrender," Talos said, "Or, you choose death."
"You" Yagyu Sogen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Talos, and switched to Dongyue dialect and said quickly: "Your virtues to convince people are of no use. Did Old Ghost Yan and the others tell you how to kill these people completely?" ?”
"You ask me, if you break two fingers again, you still have to keep your word," Xu Zhi, who was hiding more than a hundred meters behind, said.
"I will not disgrace the Yagyumon. As long as I live, I will keep you safe and send you back to your country."
Facing Talos, Yagyu Sogen slowly lowered his body. His movement seemed to be surrendering, but he used another language in his mouth, which made Talos a little more suspicious.
"What are you talking about, sinner?" Talos said.
"Kill them twice in a short period of time and they will be dead. It is best to destroy their corpses completely. That will avoid killing them a second time." Xu Zhi shouted from afar: "Remember to destroy the contents of the crystal box first." .”
"I am praying for the health of the Holy King." Sogen Yagyu bowed down submissively, and the naginata hanging at his waist was instantly unsheathed.
A white sword light flashed in the air, and a cyan sword light swung down.
Sogen Yagyu slashed at Talos with his sword, while another sword light swung at Fuer who was holding the crystal ball.
"boom"
The magical barrier suddenly appeared, accompanied by a crack and Fuer's sharp scream.
There were swords and shields intersecting again, and three golden arrows pierced through the air.
In the blink of an eye, the flames began to spread, the fire exploded, and the rapid white light fell heavily, starting to repair the large wounds caused by the raid.
"Juzi Wenyi, why are you here? Damn it, if I had known there would only be one great master left in the outside world."
someone exclaimed.
Obviously, the two great masters of the Ying Kingdom chose to attack at the same time, and Ju Ziwenyi used his own tricks to sneak into this group of cultivators.
There were quite a few people passively involved in the instant battle.
Compared to the precise strikes of Sogen Yagyu and Bunichi Kikuji, the survivors chose more ranged strikes and assistance, whether it was magic, witchcraft, or martial arts.
Some cultivators from Ying Kingdom fell, some palace guards were attacked, and some people who were barely qualified to participate in the battle intervened.
Qian Tong and Xu Zhi were qualified to watch the battle, while Gu Yuxi and Yan Jinbai had to keep retreating. As the four people who were well prepared, they just brushed against the side and quickly withdrew from the center of the melee.
"We are free now, let's leave quickly."
"Where can I go? In the area outside Jianmu, there is the Yamata Snake God, which is wandering around with its little brother. It will look for food for a month. There is still a long time left. Whoever touches that thing will be unlucky."
"Which one of them can win?"
"How long will the fight last?"
The four of them were mumbling, but their footsteps did not stop. The immortals in the ruins were fighting with the great masters from outside. The outcome was hard to say.
The ability of outside cultivators to fight alone is much greater than that of the powerful relics.
But this is the gathering of four immortals, with the power of cooperation.
Sogen Yagyu and others had the upper hand in the initial sneak attack, but they also had a vital part of their life in their hands.
Both sides still have powerful abilities to resurrect and repair injuries at this time.
It's hard to know the final outcome until the last moment.
"Crush the souls of the guilty subjects into pieces and kill all the remaining ones."
With a huge earthquake, the Holy King's Palace in the fighting area began to collapse, and the angry roar of Holy King Talos could also be heard from the ruins.
Xu Zhi looked behind him at the palace guards who had just been escaping from each other in a friendly manner. But in the blink of an eye, the eyes of these lizard guards and werewolf guards turned green.
In the field, Sogen Yagyu let out a scream, and the sword light that flashed across from time to time instantly turned into a tornado-like wave of swords. Anyone or anything involved in it would be shattered in an instant.
A heavy humming sound was heard, and an immortal light flew high and hovered in the sky.
