Chapter 230: Shang Jun's Second Attack
The Master and Qin Mo got along just like old friends when they met.
The two of them did not eat, drink or sleep. The more they talked, the more interested they became, completely forgetting the passage of time.
By the time I realized it, two months had passed.
After the Master passed the calamity and ascended to heaven, the disciples of the academy compiled his words and deeds into a book called "The Analects of Confucius". His discussion with Qin Mo by the stream was recorded in the book by Yan Hui.
It became a popular story at that time.
After the discussion, Qin Mo said goodbye to the Master.
What surprised everyone was that the teacher actually left the stream where he had been meditating all year round and personally sent Qin Mo down the mountain, causing an uproar in the academy.
It even alarmed the two sages Mencius and Xunzi who were also in seclusion.
In this way, Qin Mo's name quickly spread in the Warring States world and became officially known to the world, but it was difficult to associate him with the wanted criminal of the Qin State.
There are undercurrents among the hundreds of sects.
…
After bidding farewell to the teacher, Qin Mo left the academy with Yan Hui. Just as they walked out of Lu, they were stopped in mid-air.
It was Shang Jun who came.
It should be that the news of Qin Mo's appearance in the academy was first grasped by Qin's spies.
It seems that
King Zheng of Qin really hated Qin Mo to the core.
"Qin Mo, we meet again." Shang Jun's eyes were complicated.
It has been just over two years since we last last met, but Qin Mo has already broken through from the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm to the Void Refining Realm. This speed of cultivation is truly astonishing.
"Shang Jun, are you going to arrest me or kill me this time?" Qin Mo was calm.
The moment he entered the academy, he was prepared to be ambushed by the Qin State.
"The King of Qin has ordered that you be killed without mercy." Shang Jun looked expressionless, and then looked at Yan Hui, "I didn't expect that the academy's disciples would also go with Qin Mo."
Shang Jun looked a little hesitant.
The intelligence only said that Qin Mo entered the academy. Who could have thought that the Master's eldest disciple Yan Hui actually accompanied Qin Mo. Shang Jun wondered if the Master had already predicted that he would kill Qin Mo.
This is why Yan Hui escorted Qin Mo back to the south.
"This is a bit difficult..."
Yan Hui knew very well that Qin Mo was most likely the emperor predicted by the Master. He was about to speak up to help Qin Mo, but Qin Mo spoke first, "This matter has nothing to do with the Academy. Please don't implicate innocent people."
"That would be the best." Shang Jun was delighted.
Before coming out, he signed a military order in front of the King of Qin, agreeing to bring Qin Mo's head back to Xianyang to commemorate the dead Nei Shi Teng and Li Si.
"It's a pity that times are different now and you can no longer do anything to me." Qin Mo said lightly.
"Really? I'd like to try it."
Shang Jun didn't believe it. Even if Qin Mo broke through to the Void Refinement Stage, he was still a whole realm lower than him. If he gave his all, how could Qin Mo be his opponent?
Without further ado, he stretched out his hand and a pure white sword appeared in his hand.
This is the sword of the law.
One of the standard magic weapons for disciples of the Legalist school.
"go!"
Shang Jun made a sword gesture with his hand, and the magic sword flew high into the sky, turning into a dazzling white light. In a flash, it spread a net of heaven and earth, covering the area within a radius of ten miles.
With the blessing of the magic sword, the power of the net is even greater.
Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged. He gave Yan Hui a reassuring look and summoned out the brand new Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower, which hung above his head, emitting rays of purple light.
opposite,
Another object appeared in Shang Jun's hand. It was a miniature iron cage. He held it in his hand. It was also emitting bright white light and looked extremely majestic.
"Heaven and Earth Prison!"
Shang Jun put his hands together and pointed, and the cage in his hand swelled in the wind and turned into a huge cage, covering Qin Mo with a powerful confinement force.
Not close yet,
Qin Mo felt that the magic power in his body was not flowing smoothly, and even his soul was a little slow.
It is true that words come true.
Qin Mo sneered, and with a turn of his soul, he immediately broke the restriction.
In terms of magical power, Qin Mo is indeed not as good as Shang Jun, but in terms of spiritual cultivation, he has a perfect spiritual body, and beating Shang Jun, who is in the early stage of fusion, is like a piece of cake.
How could such soul confinement be effective on Qin Mo?
Qin Mo was not satisfied with breaking the restriction easily, so he controlled the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sha Tower, which also grew with the wind and turned into a 24-meter-high tower, and crashed into the cage of heaven and earth.
Very barbaric.
Shang Jun was shocked. He did not expect Qin Mo's spiritual cultivation to be so powerful. He immediately concentrated his consciousness and controlled the Heaven and Earth Prison to fight against the Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower.
boom!!!
The two magical artifacts collided with each other in the simplest and crudest way.
If you look closely, you'll find there's something fishy going on at the point of collision.
The cage of heaven and earth was glowing brightly with white light, and there was a faint surge of the power of laws, with restrictions one after another.
The Jiutian Xuansha Tower is even more powerful.
Purple thunder has quietly covered the entire body of the tower, and the Tiangang Disha Formation, the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation, and the Kunlongque Formation are activated at the same time to add power to the pagoda.
As they collided with each other, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
The space fluctuated, being continuously cut and shattered, the spiritual energy was shaking, and the energies annihilated each other.
It seems like a moment is eternity.
boom!!!
The cage of heaven and earth was twisted by the impact of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower and was directly knocked away.
“Wow~~~”
His life magic weapon was damaged, and Shang Jun was also damaged. He spat out a large mouthful of blood, raised his head, and looked at Qin Mo with a look of horror, "How, how could this happen?"
"When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes."
Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged. He stretched out his hand and a purple mansion sky thunder appeared in his hand. This was his most proficient Taoist magic at present. He threw it high into the sky, and the seemingly indestructible net was immediately broken.
Dissipated between heaven and earth.
“Wow~~~”
The magic sword fell down powerlessly, and Shang Jun's face became even paler.
Yan Hui, who was standing aside, was stunned. Before this, if someone had told him that a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage could beat a cultivator in the Fusion stage, he would have been stunned.
Yan Hui would never believe it.
But this is the fact...
"Could it be that Qin Mo is really the Human Emperor, blessed by the luck of heaven and earth?" Yan Hui had to make this speculation.
Qin Mo had fought against Mahayana monsters before, so he was not so arrogant because of this achievement. He said calmly: "How about it, do you want to fight again?"
He could defeat Shang Jun, but it was difficult for him to kill a strong man in the fusion stage.
Naturally, I will quit while I am ahead.
Anyway, comparing the progress of their cultivation, the moment Shang Jun was defeated, he was destined to no longer pose any threat to Qin Mo.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower was once again suspended above his head, and against the backdrop of the Purple Mansion Heavenly Thunder, Qin Mo looked extremely majestic.
At this moment,
Shang Jun was even a little dazed and thought he saw the King of Qin.
"Go ahead, I can't stop you."
Shang Jun is Shang Jun after all. He still has some magnanimity and admits defeat decisively.
"very good."
Qin Mo nodded, "Then, can you please convey a few words on behalf of King Qin?"
"you say."
"First, immediately cancel the wanted warrant against me. Second, on behalf of the Kingdom of Yue, I formally invite the Kingdom of Qin to send an envoy to attend the founding ceremony of the Kingdom of Yue." Qin Mo threw over an invitation letter.
Shang Jun took it and looked at it, his eyes fixed.
This Qin Mo has indeed become a powerful figure, and now he dares to announce the Kingdom of Yue to the public.
Luo Wang had vaguely found out before that Qin Mo should have fled to the barbarian land in the south to develop quietly, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to completely disappear from Luo Wang's sight.
"You have killed two important officials of the Qin State in succession. I am afraid it is impossible to revoke the wanted order." Shang Jun knew the character of the King of Qin very well, and he would not easily admit defeat.
What's more, after destroying Zhao, Qin was on the rise.
If the wanted order were really revoked at this time, wouldn't Qin become a laughing stock among the Shandong states?
"In that case, there's nothing we can do." Qin Mo is going to be king after all, so how could he tolerate being on the wanted list? Wouldn't that be a naked humiliation to the Kingdom of Yue?
"As long as Qin doesn't withdraw the wanted order, I will sacrifice one of Qin's important officials to heaven. Shang Jun, do you think Qin can stop me from killing people?" Qin Mo said.
“…”
Shang Jun didn't expect that Qin Mo would give such a tough answer.
But I can't refute it.
And judging from Qin Mo's previous behavior, he was afraid that he would really do so.
"I can only promise to try my best to persuade the King of Qin to withdraw the arrest warrant." Shang Jun's attitude softened immediately.
This is the respect that comes with strength.
"Then I will wait for good news from Qin. Remember, you only have half a month to consider. After half a month, I will start hunting." Qin Mo was aggressive.
"Of course, Qin can choose not to withdraw the wanted order, and even play the killing game with me. I don't mind, and I will accompany you to the end. It depends on who kills more and faster."
“…”
Shang Yang realized that the real opponent of Qin State had appeared.
…
Three days later, Qin Mo and Yan Hui arrived at Longchuan City.
As early as half a month ago, military advisor Jia Xu had led his troops to attack Yelang Kingdom, and should have already engaged in battle with Yelang Kingdom's army.
I just don't know how the battle is going.
Qin Mo was too lazy to worry about it, so he solemnly introduced Yan Hui to Xun Yu, the minister in charge of preparing for the founding ceremony, and then he was busy with the transportation between the two worlds in order to store as much food and supplies as possible.
All matters concerning his cooperation with Tianshu have been finalized.
After signing the contract, Qin Mo's transportation of materials will become faster and more convenient in the future. Not to mention the Yue State, even supplying the entire Warring States State will not be a problem.
The development of Vietnam is bound to enter the fast lane.
…
Xianyang, Royal Palace.
Inside the hall, after listening to Shang Jun's report, King Zheng of Qin looked gloomy. "I never thought that Qin Mo would unify Baiyue in just two years. It's really hateful."
"I think that Your Majesty does not need to worry about this." The speaker was the new Prime Minister Wei Liao.
"Why do you say that, Prime Minister?"
Wei Liao bowed and said, "Qin Mo was a lone ranger before. He came and went without any scruples, his whereabouts were erratic, and he did not have the reserve of a cultivator. He liked to assassinate people, which was a great threat to our Qin State.
"It's different now. With the ties to the Kingdom of Yue, Qin Mo has some concerns. Especially after the establishment of the Kingdom of Yue, Qin Mo's every word and action represents the Kingdom of Yue, and he can no longer act recklessly.
"In disputes between nations, how could the Great Qin be afraid of a small country like Yue?"
"That makes sense." Qin Wangzheng was in high spirits. "So, the Prime Minister also agrees to cancel the wanted order against Qin Mo and change it to a war between countries?"
"That's right." Wei Liao nodded. "Issuing a warrant for a king is against etiquette and will only make our Qin appear arrogant and disrespectful. If we cancel the warrant now, no one will be able to say anything."
"Then let's do as the Prime Minister says."
King Zheng of Qin had a deep look in his eyes. Although he said so, he was still holding his breath in his heart.
"In addition to revoking the wanted order, I think we should also accept the invitation from the Kingdom of Yue and send people to Longchuan City to watch the ceremony, so as to take the opportunity to find out the strength of the Kingdom of Yue." Wei Liao took the opportunity to say.
The King of Qin agreed with this and turned to look at Shang Jun, cupping his hands and saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Shang Jun to lead the team. We'll make another trip to Longchuan City when the time comes."
Even the King of Qin must give enough respect to someone like Shang Jun.
This is the pillar of the kingdom.
Just like this ceremony, the King of Qin really couldn't think of any other suitable candidate except Shang Yang.
"promise!"
Shang Jun bowed deeply.
