Volume 10: Fuyao Chapter 167: Ten Years
Fuyao wandered in front of Li Shiyi, causing tiny air currents.
That tiny airflow must have been caused by some extremely sophisticated technique. It could not be shaken off and remained in the air.
So, it became a word.
One word at a time forms a line of words.
A short line of words conveyed a very important message.
The modifier "extremely important" seems a bit too thin.
The people in Dixin City had no idea what had happened at Longcheng Pass.
Li Shiyi didn't know either.
He only knew that the sect master was trying every possible way to kill Soul Lord and Control Lord in order to save Zhong Ling from the predicament.
Li Shiyi believed in the sect leader very much, but when he actually saw the news that Hun Zun and Yu Zun had died, he immediately fell into irrepressible shock and ecstasy.
So much so that, when the sword did not stop moving and when the second line of words appeared in the air, he should have fallen into endless sadness and confusion. Although his pupils suddenly dilated, the shock and ecstasy in his heart actually still existed and did not disappear immediately.
"Hun Zun and Yu Zun are dead." He murmured in a hoarse voice.
"...The Sect Master is also dead."
The emotions brought about by the two pieces of news were so completely opposite that even Li Shiyi, who had lived for three lifetimes, didn't know what emotion he should have at this moment.
So much so that he never thought about a problem.
Since the sect leader is gone, who is controlling Fuyao in front of us?
…
Fuyao's divine soldiers descended from the sky, bringing a turning point for the human race.
Yes, the turnaround was that simple.
As long as Soul Master and Control Master die, it means that the Wujian Realm will soon fall into inevitable civil strife.
This means that the arrogant demon army outside the Changye Mountains will definitely not be able to continue their offensive.
They risked their lives, risked everything, and stared at the demon clan's most powerful offensive for so long. Isn't this hope they are waiting for?
Now hope is not lost, and it is in their hands.
All we have to do is hold out until the chaos breaks out in the Wujian Realm and the demons are forced to retreat.
Although this is also extremely difficult.
…
The other end of the battlefield, or it can be said to be a hidden place behind the demon battlefield.
Lu Qingshan closed his eyes slightly and one hand hung slightly.
He has been in this state for a long time.
The master of Shuiyue Temple, who was standing nearby, looked at the young man's slender figure with shock.
After traveling thousands of miles, crossing the demon-occupied area and the endless spiritual sea, the two of them finally arrived at the Changye Mountains from Longcheng Pass.
But embarrassingly, they were a step too late... or several steps too late.
At this time, there were nearly ten million demon troops blocking them and Dixin City.
Unless he was a sword immortal, no cultivator could cross the army of nearly ten million demon cultivators and enter Dixin City at this moment.
In fact, the strength of Lu Qingshan and the master of Shuiyue Temple can be considered good even in such a battlefield.
However, it was just good, and definitely not enough to change the situation of the battle.
Therefore, whether they can enter Dixin City doesn’t seem to be very important.
That is what they said, but the reality is that Lu Qingshan and Shuiyue Temple Master’s strength was not enough to change the situation of the battle, but the information in their hands did have that power.
Because the news of the deaths of Soul Master and Yu Master will give faith and hope to the human cultivators.
…
Faith and hope are very illusory and vague words.
But it has always existed, real and powerfully.
People with hope can always unleash power that is absolutely unimaginable to the rest of the world.
Just like the human monks who are now defending the Long Night Mountains, they desperately need faith and hope, rather than mechanically and tiredly responding to the siege of the demon army in powerlessness and despair.
…
But if people can't get through, how can the message get through?
...normally it is like this.
But there are always exceptions to everything.
This exception occurs particularly frequently in Lu Qingshan's case.
Just because he couldn't cross the demon army, it didn't mean he couldn't deliver the message to Dixin City.
Because, others cannot pass through, but the sword... can.
Fuyao, who possesses the magical power of [Han Guang], is an invisible and breathless sword.
This is the premise, the premise that the flying sword can cross tens of millions of troops.
Otherwise, how could a flying sword be more powerful than a cultivator in the ninth realm?
In addition, with the blessing of the mind and [Chengying], Lu Qingshan's flying sword's range of up to 60,000 miles is a necessary and sufficient condition for the flying sword to cross the demon army.
The battlefield where millions of demon armies were deployed stretched for thousands of miles, with no end in sight. There was no magic that could reach the core of the battlefield from the edge of the battlefield.
Except for the flying sword.
Finally, it is the spiritual nature of Fuyao as a Taoist artifact that allows it to find the most appropriate time on its own and enter the Zhongling formation.
The above three points are indispensable.
Only with the combination of these three factors could Lu Qingshan's sword be able to cross the Changye Mountains and the rolling demonic tide.
Such a sword may not be as beautiful as the flying sword that scares away thousands of troops in battle, but the technical content in it is even better.
If not, the abbot of Shuiyue Temple, as one of the deputy abbots of Tianji Temple, is knowledgeable and experienced. How could he easily reveal his shock?
…
Lu Qingshan opened his eyes, and a certain light flashed in his dark eyes.
He stretched out his hand and spread it slightly in the air.
A sword comes from afar.
A vague sword appeared in his hand.
The sword body is sky blue all over, presenting the texture of fine porcelain.
Soaring.
"Has the message been delivered?" The master of Shuiyue Temple asked subconsciously, not because he did not believe it, but because he was overly surprised.
Lu Qingshan bowed his head gently, "Master, please be at ease."
…
…
"With the death of Soul Master and Yu Master, the demon clan's offensive will definitely not be able to continue. As long as we can defend Dixin City before the demon clan retreats, the human race will win the final victory."
"When the clouds part, the moon will appear."
This news soon spread throughout Dixin City at the instruction of Li Shiyi.
It was like a panacea that could inspire people and boost morale, allowing the defenders of Dixin City, whose morale had been gradually declining, to burst out with new strength that the demon army could not understand.
This is one aspect.
on the other hand.
Li Shiyi immediately asked someone to bring this news back to the Eastern Region, back to Yumen Pass, and back to the Sword Sect through the cross-domain transmission array .
If the deaths of Soul Master and Yu Master could boost the morale of the cultivators in Dixin City, then this step was the real reason why Lu Qingshan was eager to pass the news to Li Shiyi.
As soon as Yu Canghai receives this news, he will quickly gather the strength of human cultivators and reveal this news to the demons.
Yes, this news needs to be revealed by the human race to the demon race.
Because it is conceivable that the people in the Wuxian Realm will do their best to conceal the news of the two deaths.
Although you can't hide it forever, you can hide it for a while.
The city in my heart cannot tolerate this moment.
Therefore, it is up to the human race to add fuel to the fire.
In addition, Yu Canghai will reveal the secret of the inner demon.
The two have fallen, and the inner demon's weakness is revealed before their eyes. Considering the nature of the demons coveting each other, how can they remain as still as a mountain?
At that time, all seven holy demon clans would surely turn into hungry wolves smelling meat, pounce forward and devour the Wujian Realm.
…
Even if some humans fanned the flames and leaked the news, the Heart Demon Clan is, after all, one of the eight holy demon clans in the abyss, and their encroachment on the Infernal Realm is even more extensive.
Therefore, war is never so easy to start, and necessary preparations must be made in advance.
Although the people in Wujian Realm knew that internal troubles were about to arise, it was unlikely that they would decisively give up Zhong Ling, who had already gnawed half of the bone and was about to eat the delicious fat meat.
What they wanted was to quickly take over the Central Spiritual Realm before civil unrest broke out.
At that time, Zhongling will be used as the rear. Even if facing the encroachment of the other seven holy demon clans, we can retreat to attack or advance to defend. At worst, we can give up the Wujian Realm and use Zhongling Realm as the new nest. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
Therefore, the demons did not say that their morale plummeted due to the deaths of Soul Master and Yu Master, but instead they further intensified their offensive.
Fortunately, the two died at the same time, and it is currently unclear who will control the Wujian Realm.
A game of intrigue and conspiracy ensued among the Heart Demon Clan, which resulted in the Demon Clan knowing that they should further increase their military investment in Zhongling and take over Zhongling Domain as soon as possible, but they did not do so because they were not united.
…
The demons did not receive any reinforcements.
But the human race does.
After learning the news of the deaths of Soul Lord and Control Lord, the human race once again saw the opportunity for victory.
The Lord of Zhongtian Domain used this as an excuse to send out the second batch of Zhongtian cultivators after Yulin Guards, to support Zhongling and Dixin City.
Just when the battle to defend Yudixin City reached its most difficult point and the balance was tipping towards the demons, reinforcements arrived.
At this time, although Lu Qingshan and the master of Shuiyue Temple could not reach the heart city, they had been wandering outside the battlefield for a long time.
During these days, countless demon cultivators had been killed by Lu Qingshan's sword - those demon cultivators who were fighting hard and charging the city would never have imagined that there would be attacks coming from behind.
And it is an invisible attack.
In order not to expose his identity, Lu Qingshan used Fuyao to draw his sword, while the master of Shuiyue Temple simply did not take action to kill the enemy, but instead focused on assisting Lu Qingshan.
Under this situation , Lu Qingshan no longer had any thoughts of hiding his strength, and he used many deadly moves.
Because of this, the Master of Shuiyue Temple had the honor of being the first outsider to truly realize how terrifying the combat power and potential of this youngest and lowest-cultivation Taoist master in the history of the human race was.
Although hope is right before our eyes and the human race can hold on by relying on their willpower, the damage to the intermediate spiritual practitioners is still quite severe.
Not to mention the casualties among the monks who were undergoing the tribulation, even the monks in the ninth realm began to fall.
In this great change of heaven and earth, there is both death and rebirth.
The battlefield is the place where transformation is most likely to occur.
In this battle of attack and defense of Zhongling, which served as the prelude to the Second Dao-Demon War, monks of the Eighth Realm and Ninth Realm who continued to make new breakthroughs emerged.
Even in a war of this level, ordinary eighth-realm cultivators are no better than dogs, and cultivators who have just broken through to the ninth realm can hardly change anything. But the emergence of new forces means that the human race is developing in a good direction.
Lu Qingshan also gained a lot from such a high-intensity battle.
Apart from the massive amount of experience points gained, the biggest gain is that the progress of Lu Qingshan's soul and body integration has been greatly improved.
Coincidentally, Lu Qingshan's soul realm has always been stronger than his own cultivation, and most of his methods consume his soul power. Therefore, although he often runs out of mana, it is rare for his soul power to be exhausted.
Now he and the master of Shuiyue Temple are wandering on the outside of the battlefield. In order not to expose their bodies, they have no choice but to use Fuyao and fly swords to harvest the heads of the demon cultivators.
The flying sword itself is a means of attack that consumes both the soul and energy, and the more precise the control, the more soul power is consumed.
For the first time, Lu Qingshan's spiritual power was exhausted, but his Yuan power was still abundant.
Such high-intensity and high-frequency consumption of spiritual power, and then recovery of the spiritual power, is in itself a process that subtly forces Lu Qingshan to become familiar with his physical body and become one with his soul.
Naturally, it is also of great benefit to the progress of the unity of man and nature.
This greatly advanced the time for Lu Qingshan to be promoted to the eighth level.
…
The vigorous and massive battle to capture Dixin City, which was destined to go down in history, began.
The eighth year of Tianyuan, spring.
The siege and defense of Dixin City had lasted for a whole year.
Avici City.
In the darkness of night, in the palace that once belonged to Soul Lord and Yu Lord, stood the thrones belonging to the two.
Today, one of the thrones has been dismantled.
The other throne was occupied by the real body of the Sirius Demon Lord.
In his hand, there was a gray wheel.
The power struggle and game of games that lasted for a whole year in the Wujian Realm finally came to an end.
Demon Lord Sirius became the new king of the Wujian Realm.
However, the new king has just ascended the throne and is facing the biggest crisis in the history of the Wujian Realm... How can this be a headache?
…
The tenth year of Tianyuan, winter.
The alliance of Sirius Demon Lord failed, and the seven holy demon clans finally confirmed that Soul Lord and Control Lord were both dead. They found a good excuse and finally bared their fangs towards the Infernal Realm.
The seven holy demon clans attacked together and stockpiled troops at the border. The threat this brought to the Wujian Realm can be imagined.
In desperation, the Sirius Demon Lord had to recall his army from the Infernal Realm, which he had originally not deployed for the purpose of bluffing.
He made a bold move and gave up most of his territory, only holding on to the three most core and richest kingdoms, Fuxin Kingdom, Beimang Kingdom and Dongchao Kingdom.
The Fuxinwang Realm is where the Avici City is located. It is the birthplace of their Heart Demon Clan and must not be lost.
As for the Beimang Kingdom and the Dongchao Kingdom, they are connected to the Fuxin Kingdom and can be directly connected to Longcheng Pass.
Demon Lord Sirius has very clear ideas.
It doesn't matter if most of the territory of the Wujian Realm is lost. As long as they can defend these three king realms, they can then take over the Zhongling Realm as the new territory of the Wujian Realm. Then their Wujian Realm will only be bigger and richer than before.
However, facing the covetous eyes of the seven holy demon clans, the Heart Demon Clan simply does not have any spare energy to send out demon troops to support Zhong Ling, unless they are willing to completely abandon the Wujian Realm.
Obviously, they were reluctant.
They could only try their best to hold on to this corner of land and wait for good news from the rear.
In the eyes of Sirius Demon Lord, this choice was definitely not a wrong one.
After all, with such a huge gap in combat power, Dixin City should be breached soon, right?
Judging from a high enough perspective, it was the indecision of the Heavenly Wolf Demon Lord at this time that ruined the Wujian Realm's last chance of victory.
But from the current perspective, the choice of Sirius Demon Lord can only be described as a gamble with great chances of winning.
…
Autumn of the twelfth year of Tianyuan.
It is the fifth year of the battle for Dixin City.
The situation changed again.
Due to the civil war, the demons are temporarily unable to focus too much energy on the human race.
Of course, due to the huge gap in combat power, the human race is unable to launch a counterattack.
But this at least allows them to have enough energy to send monks to support Zhong Ling.
Everyone knows the principle of "the lips and teeth are interdependent". If there is no other way, who would be willing to sit back and watch Zhongling fall?
Now that they have some strength left and Zhongling is still holding on, this batch of reinforcements quickly rushed to Zhongling's heart city.
The impact of the deaths of Hun Zun and Yu Zun is further fermenting.
…
Spring, the seventeenth year of Tianyuan.
As the offensive and defensive battles lasted for ten years, the demon army suffered incalculable losses, and faced with the dilapidated Dixin City that was always difficult to capture, they finally began to feel a lot of fear.
In addition, there was no reinforcement, the Wujian Realm was being besieged by the seven holy demon clans, and the news of the deaths of Hun Zun and Yu Zun could not be concealed and reached their ears, which made their morale plummet.
The demon army of the Wujian Realm can no longer pose much of a threat to the reinforcements sent by the major domains and the Dixin City Guards, which are mainly composed of middle-level spiritual monks.
finally.
From the center of the demon army, which was still considered powerful, came the sound of the bugle call that both the human and demon cultivators had been waiting for for a long time.
The demon cultivators of the demon coalition army looked at the human cultivators in Dixin City with extremely complicated expressions, extremely unwilling, and a little bit of awe.
But in the end, they retreated tiredly towards Longcheng Pass, which was a million miles away.
Just like the rising tide, after a long period of raging, it finally recedes.
