On the lower reaches of the river in Daliang City, Lu Xiao, who had escaped by diving along the river, finally emerged from the river.
From this position, we can only see the distant view of the dragon boat fleet. Unless Yuwen Tuo can cross the river, it is absolutely impossible to catch up, and he probably doesn't have the time to pursue it now.
Walking ashore from the river, Lu Xiao shook off the water droplets on his body, used the water-based Ghost Valley Taoist technique to analyze the water in his clothes, condensed it into a ball of water, and threw it back into the river.
Lu Xiao used the eyes of the eagle to see the chaotic scene of the dragon boat fleet, and orange-red fire began to spread among the fleet.
Looking at the soldiers who were busy putting out the fire, Lu Xiao's lips curved in a subtle way: "Yang Guang, feel what happened to Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi."
When he sneaked into the lower part of the dragon boat flagship's cabin, Lu Xiao secretly left some fire in some flammable cargo. While jumping into the water, he used magic to ignite the cargo in the cabin, and the fire quickly spread to the entire fleet.
.
This brief contact made Lu Xiao once again improve her evaluation of Yuwen Tuo.
Although the Xuanyuan Sword cannot be compared functionally with the Donghuang Bell, which has the ability to create and destroy the world, as a conventional weapon, perhaps only the Pangu Ax can barely compete with it.
Yuwen Tuoben is the reincarnation of the ancient artifact Kunlun Mirror. He was born with powerful spiritual power and talent. He was able to suppress Gongshan Tie, the number one person in Guigu Taoism at that time, with the Xuanyuan Sword before he was 30 years old. His strength is unfathomable.
After receiving Yuwen Tuo's sword head-on, Lu Xiao had a more intuitive understanding of his strength.
The abilities of the two ancient artifacts combined into one, Yuwen Tuo should be unmatched by anyone in this era, at least no one can defeat him in a head-on conflict.
According to the opening animation of Tianzhihen, we can know that Yuwen Tuo was already famous all over the world before he was even weak.
More than ten years ago, the elders of the Chen Kingdom of the Southern Dynasty gathered under the call of Chen Jingchou's father, and pulled together an army of more than ten thousand people to start a showdown with the famous Sui Dynasty general Yang Su.
But at that time, Yang Su only brought a few dozen cavalry to the battlefield, which angered the leaders of Chen State and created an opportunity for them to kill a famous general of the Sui Dynasty.
However, these more than 10,000 troops were all killed in the hands of a young man holding a golden sword.
According to Gong Shantie's description, this young man was Yuwen Tuo, who later became the Grand Master of the Sui Dynasty.
At such a young age, he relied on the terrifying power of the Xuanyuan Sword to almost wipe out the entire Chen army with just one blow, leaving only a small number of remnants to flee in panic.
It can be speculated from this rumor that Yuwen Tuo's previous attack was obviously not full force, and perhaps he restrained himself in consideration of Yang Guang on the dragon boat.
"It's just a bug..."
Lu Xiao looked at the gaps in the swords of Eden with distress.
When he was in the Xingyue World, thanks to the blessing of the Noble Phantasm Legend, these two weapons helped him a lot. Unexpectedly, he suffered an opening lightning strike shortly after arriving in the new world.
Consus, who was residing in Lu Xiao's body, comforted him: "Don't worry so much. After all, the Holy Sword of Eden is just a mass-produced weapon made by Hephaestus. It will naturally be damaged when encountering more powerful divine weapons.
"
"Hasn't Aletheia already started building her own laboratory? This time she goes back just so she can practice repairing the two damaged Holy Swords of Eden."
Lu Xiao nodded in relief, but the troubled look on his face did not completely dissipate.
"Even the Holy Sword of Eden cannot stop the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, let alone the weak defense of the Immortal Sword. It seems that we must seize the time to find an artifact that can compete with the Xuanyuan Sword."
From a standpoint, both Lu Xiao and Yuwen Tuo want to seal the Sky Mark, but having the same goal does not mean that they will definitely cooperate.
As a dignified Grand Master of the Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Tuo could not condescend to be on an equal footing with Lu Xiao, a common man of unknown origin. His identity and status did not allow him to behave in such a dissolute manner, and Lu Xiao had no interest in condescending to others.
Moreover, Lu Xiao was not interested in Yuwen Tuo's desperate measures to save the world. The inhumane six blood beads of all spirits were destined to prevent Lu Xiao and Yuwen Tuo from peeing in the same pot.
Unable to find the Donghuang Bell, Yuwen Tuo made a desperate decision and adopted the advice of a certain spy.
He decided to use the blood beads of all spirits to outline a huge six-pointed star formation on the land of China.
In conjunction with the two Tengu eclipses and the construction of the Tower of Babel that has already begun, Yuwen Tuo plans to complete the Road to Babel that runs through the entire land of China before the last moment arrives, and replace the Void Formation to enter the Scarlet Demon Star that is about to cross the sky.
.
If you want to complete the Earth Hexagram required to complete the Road to Babel, you must obtain the All-Spirit Blood Bead at the six vertex positions of the formation. Each All-Spirit Blood Bead needs to be refined with the blood essence of 60,000 creatures.
Lu Xiao can understand the painful choice Yuwen Tuo made under no choice, but understanding does not mean agreement.
Lu Xiao considers herself not a good and compassionate person, nor is she a holy bitch who likes to point fingers at other people’s lives with a magnifying glass.
But 360,000 lives will be sacrificed at one time. As long as you are not born with an antisocial personality, you cannot simply nod and accept this.
If possible, Lu Xiao plans to stop Yuwen Tuo before the Wanling Blood Beads begin to be refined.
"Donghuang Bell and Pangu Ax."
Lu Xiao put his chin in his hand and thought about it: "After getting the Shennong Cauldron, I must first go to the East China Sea Immortal World. I hope there is still enough time."
…
Lu Xiao's sudden sneak in was like pouring cold water on the head of Yang Guang, who was enjoying himself.
The fire spread rapidly among the chained fleets.
Fortunately, Yuwen Tuo, the Grand Master of the Sui Dynasty, was sitting on the flagship. He first advised Yang Guang, who was angry and displeased, to leave the ship for a while, and then used Guigu Taoism to divert water from the river.
The Taoist rain falling from the sky quickly extinguished the fire in the fleet, but the originally orderly dragon boat fleet was inevitably "disfigured" on a large scale. The scorched marks everywhere in the fleet made Yang Guang, who was extremely proud of himself, very angry.
Angry.
"Check! You must find out the person who set the fire!"
A cold light flashed in Yang Guang's eyes, and he ordered Yuwen Tuo, who was respectful to his subordinates: "Yuwen loves you, you must bring the assassin who set the fire to me, and I must execute him with my own hands!"
Yuwen Tuo raised his hands and said without changing his expression: "I obey, Your Majesty!"
The dark dragon boat made Yang Guang feel embarrassed. His original interest in leading the large fleet to visit the Yellow River was greatly weakened. He could only angrily get off the boat and stay in the palace in Daliang City. As the dragon boat fleet dispersed, the occupied river was finally cleared.
came out.
Although the assassins' invasion of the dragon boat made Yang Guang very angry, it was not entirely a bad thing for Yuwen Tuo. At least it avoided Yang Guang's more wasteful behavior and Yuwen Tuo's painstaking advice.
When Lu Xiao was about to set off to the lower reaches of the Yellow River to find Yongzhen to meet up, two teenage boys and girls happened to take a boat from Lujiadu in the upper reaches to Daliang. They were Chen Jingchou and Yu Xiaoxue.
The chaotic atmosphere in the city left the two of them a little confused. A tall man with a beard who was accompanying him frowned. He had rich experience and told the two friends to stay in the city first while he went out to find out what happened in Daliang City.
Not to mention Chen Jingchou's unexpected reunion with Mr. Gongshan's family in Daliang City. Lu Xiao, who was about to board a boat to leave, encountered a small trouble.
A dashing girl in red stood in front of Lu Xiao with an angry look.
Although she is not yet fully grown up, and her face and temperament are still a bit immature, her exotic beauty has already allowed Lu Xiao to roughly guess her future.
This is a troublesome beauty that will surely attract countless bees and butterflies to chase her.
He roughly guessed the identity and purpose of this beautiful girl, but Lu Xiao pretended to know nothing and asked doubtfully: "Girl, why did you stop me?"
"How dare you say that!"
The girl in red is from the Xianbei tribe in the north. Compared with the Han women, she has a more aggressive personality and speaks outspokenly.
The girl in red with upturned eyebrows pointed at Lu Xiao with her arms akimbo and asked, "Did you set the fire on the dragon boat before?"
"oh?"
Lu Xiao smiled calmly and said, "How do you say this? I am a good citizen who abides by the law."
“Stop pretending!”
The girl in red raised her head and snorted: "I saw you walking out of the river with my own eyes. Although you didn't know what tricks you used to change your appearance, I, Tuoba Yu'er, will never mistake you for the wrong person. You are the one who set fire to me."
