Chapter 151
The three-foot sword is rustling.
The sword is used to ask, but it can also kill.
Lin Shu crossed the sword in front of him and wiped the blade with his finger.
The sword's body was clear, and the invisible sword intent was aroused every inch, and he once again explored all the veins of the Zhezhu sword and became one with it.
Shangling beside him said briefly: "Good sword!"
The saber of the Shangling Slip is also unsheathed. It is a silver long sword with a clear body, and the sword light is like a full moon.
If Mr. Meng used a sword, it must be such a clear sword. It would be appropriate to replace it with a Shangling Slip.
Shangling Jane said: "I'm sweeping in front."
After that, he flew up and went to the edge of the barrier.
The densely packed living corpses have all rushed up, crawling on the barrier, biting and hitting the barrier, consuming the spiritual power of the barrier.
The barrier of a cultivator is like the wall of a mortal, it must not be broken!
The light of the sword, the light of the sword, the light of the Taoist law, the sound of thunder and the roar of thunder continued to explode on the barrier, a piece of living corpse was smashed down by the spell, and a new living corpse climbed up, covering the sky and covering the sun. .
Lin Shu is waiting.
When the disciple of Mengtang came back, he brought back news about the specific location and strength of the wizard of North Xia.
After about two quarters of an hour, the disciples in green came back one after another.
Yue Ruohe frowned and said, "No trace of the wizard can be found."
Hall Master Yue said: "This army of 200,000 corpses is all composed of living corpses. There are no wizards in the center or at the end. It is speculated that the North Xia wizards may be scattered among the living corpses or hidden in the surrounding mountains and forests for a while. , Difficult to find out."
Xie Zishe arched his hands and said, "Please, Hall Master Yue leads the disciples to continue the investigation."
Hall Master Yue said: "Naturally, but if I can't find it, I don't know what to do."
Xie Zishe said: "There are 200,000 living corpses right now, layered on top of each other. If a wizard hides in it, it is really difficult to find. When I wait for most of the living corpses to be wiped out, and then look for them, it will be easy."
Hall Master Yue said: "That's good."
Ru Mengtang continued to explore the front, while the rest of the immortal disciples all plunged into and guarded the barrier.
Shangling Jane meant to let Lin Shu not go down, wait at the city wall first, save his strength, and then take action when he is about to confront the North Xia wizard.
Therefore, what Lin Shu did was to observe the battle conditions in different places of the barrier, and use his sword to help him if he encountered danger.
On the whole, Phoenix Villa’s sword technique contains the aura of freedom from the fire, the most yin and evil, the overall strength of the martial art, and the Phoenix Village master who has the roots of tribulation repairs for them, so the front of the villa’s defense, Obviously, he was under the most pressure, but he was able to do his job well, firmly guarding the most critical part of the enchantment, and even sending people to help other places.
The northwest corner of the barrier is composed of a mixture of disciples of the small sect. The original strength is slightly weak, and the cooperation is not good, and there are frequent dangers. It is the area where Lin Shu helps the most.
Relying on the strongest defensive formation, the "Stars Fighting Array", this defensive enchantment can defend against all forms of attack from the outside world, and can also block the enemy’s line of sight, making them unable to see the scene in the enchantment. Know the layout in the enchantment.
The best result of this battle to defend the city was that the disciples of the Immortal Dao intercepted the living corpses outside the barrier!
But... still too difficult!
These two thousand immortal cultivators are a little weaker. One person can carry several living corpses at the same time, and they have already left and right. In the later stage of Nascent Soul, they can only be an enemy.
But the army of living corpses has more than two hundred thousand!
Even if a person has more than a dozen hands, he can't stop them all, there are always living corpses attached to the barrier, and they bite and attack wildly. The spiritual power of the enchantment was continuously consumed, consumed, and then consumed in this way.
This is a war that is not destined to be completely won, and the barrier cannot be sustained for a long time. All they can do is fight to the death!
Killing one more living corpse will reduce the pressure of the enchantment, and reduce the pressure, and it will be able to support for a moment, and support for a moment-other layouts in the city can be perfected!
The sun is getting bigger, and it shines on people's faces with a searing meaning. There was a distant rooster cry from the city, and it seemed that it was almost noon.
In other words, three hours have passed since the living corpse began to attack the city!
The immortal disciple suffered heavy casualties, and there were continuous bloody disciples falling from mid-air.
The disciples and elders of the academy immediately treated them, some could be saved, some were hit and were unable to return to heaven, and some...from the moment they fell, they had no breath.
The sun is getting hotter.
Another hour passed.
The disciples are already unable to fight, and more and more people are falling. Even if they can continue to fight, their spiritual power is almost exhausted and their body is wounded, and their combat power is not as good as before.
The enchantment was also greatly depleted. From the beginning, it was radiant and full of breath, becoming thin and shaky.
At this time, four hours have passed since the beginning of the distance.
It's been... long enough.
Xie Zishe closed his eyes and said, "Retreat."
With a sound of falling, the people of Immortal Dao evacuated and fell back to the top of the city, and the devastated enchantment began to slowly close to the city wall.
On the battlefield, retreat often means defeat.
A group of corpses howled.
That howl was probably a joyous cry for victory, but when it fell into the ears of the Southern Xia people, it all turned into a malicious carnival. The sharp screams pierced the eardrums, and the blood-red ocean was overwhelming. It was clearly in the world, but It is like Shura hell, this situation makes people feel cold behind their backs.
Someone spread the message, Lord Xie, Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie and his family have fled to Liangzhou with their family members. Are you sending a team of soldiers and horses to intercept?
Xie Zishe sneered: "Let them go."
After smiling, he said: "In a peaceful and prosperous age, it takes some effort to distinguish loyalty and traitor, but now it is effortless!"
The messenger slid his beard and patted his horse: "Master Xie is wise."
Xie Zishe looked forward with cold eyes.
But seeing the barrier shrinking layer by layer, gradually moving closer to the city wall, the army of living corpses slowly moved here-anyone with a discerning eye could see that the barrier couldn't hold up.
Once the barrier cannot be held up, the Jinguan City is broken overnight, and can't blame those high-ranking officials and nobles who are thinking about fleeing in a hurry.
however……!
Shangling Jian fell on the city wall and said: "Close the battle!"
The guardian barrier suddenly shattered!
The gate of Jinguan City opened wide, and only a small enchantment remained, barely guarding the city wall!
The living corpses howled in unison and ran forward!
And what awaits them is not a smooth journey in Pingchuan, but Southern Xia spends a night, plus the four hours of time that the people of the immortal way above have won, a place for their burial!
But above the flat ground, there are dozens of trenches that are hundreds of meters long and nearly 100 meters deep!
At the bottom of the trench are countless sharp iron thorns, long thorns!
The iron thorn is blessed with the magic of the immortal family, and it is invincible. The living corpse does not know how to jump and retreat. Once it falls into the trench, it is pierced directly by the sharp iron thorn!
The mighty living corpses are like blood-red water, encountering such a trench, it is like a river suddenly sinking, they have sunk in!
All of a sudden, the sharp and miserable callsigns one after another!
Shangling Jian said: "Thank your sir for a good strategy."
"Don't dare to take credit." Xie Zishe said: "In the old days in the learning palace, in the art of war, one day's homework was to do ten strategies for defending the city. This is one of the ten rules made by His Highness Fengyang."
The army of living corpses paused, and the wizard commanding from behind also found that something was wrong and ordered them to stop.
But, soon, almost the next moment they stopped, they moved again! Not only that, even the speed is much faster than before!
The first trench was filled and was flush with the ground.
The army of living corpses stepped on the filled trench and continued forward.
Second way.
The third way.
... The seventeenth way.
The instructions the wizard gave them were used as cannon fodder to fill in the trenches!
Countless corpses filled the bottomless trench, and the number of the entire army of corpses was also reduced by nearly half.
The power of the immortal cultivator is indeed greater than that of the mortal, but it is only one person against dozens of living corpses. But such a strategy and arrangement can kill tens of thousands of corpses in half an hour. It can be seen that on the battlefield, the two armies are facing each other and the power of the immortal cultivator is often just icing on the cake. The success or failure of a real war depends on the strength of the mortal and the mind of the commander.
However, even though the army of living corpses was greatly damaged, they did not have the fear of living people, they still gathered in one piece, still rushing forward!
This time...the front is a real Pingchuan.
But seeing them surge up, head straight to the wall of Jinguan City!
Xie Zishe said, "...Let the arrow go."
The horns sounded, and the archers on the wall set up their crossbows. After the horns sounded, they bowed into a full moon and sent all arrows!
After one round of shooting, the arrows were added and the volley continued.
The arrow rain fell on the group of living corpses, but only slightly blocked their speed.
Under such a rain of arrows, the flesh and blood of mortals would have been bloody without shield protection, but the living corpses are different, and the damage caused by shooting arrows to them is probably just scratching it.
People on Southern Xia can already think of the North Xia wizard's sneer when he sees this scene.
But... who said that the purpose of these volleys was to stab the corpse?
The deputy general of the defending army of Jinguancheng said to Xie Zishe: "My lord, the kerosene bomb has been exhausted."
Xie Zishe looked at the sea of corpses below, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Let's light it."
The lieutenant said loudly: "Change the artillery!"
But seeing the sound of the machine, the city's head has been erected, and the heated fire tube spouts hot air, a few loud bangs, and a hot fireball is ejected downward!
The archers also changed their arrows. The arrows tied a burning torch and shot down the city.
The fire ball fell to the ground and exploded immediately!
On the battlefield, smoke was filled, and the monstrous fire spread quickly!
——It turns out that in the first few rounds of volleys, the arrows were all tied to kerosene packs. After the arrows hit the living corpses, the kerosene packs ruptured and the kerosene was poured on the living corpses. After a few rounds of shooting, there was already a lot of life. The body was dripping with kerosene. At this point, if you use artillery or torches to ignite, the fire will rise immediately, and it will be impossible to control.
Xie Zishe said: "His Royal Highness is both proficient in the art of war and the magic of immortality, so I can have such a method. When I saw this method, I thought that the conditions of this method are harsh, and it can only be used in the dangerous pass of the isolated city. Although it is very wonderful, But it can't be implemented...Unexpectedly, it was really useful last day."
She did not take credit, but said that this was an assignment that Ling Fengxiao had done in the art of war a few years ago.
Lin Shu thought, Ling Fengxiao is naturally reliable, his method is reliable, and the person chosen is also very suitable.
If it weren't for Xie Zishe, but for another veteran, I'm afraid he would just stick to it and would not use such a strategy.
But seeing the city below the city, it burned into a blood-red sea of fire.
That kerosene is not ordinary kerosene, but is added to the elixir of immortality, which is a hundred times more fierce than ordinary fire!
And living corpses are most afraid of fire!
They can no longer move forward, but are rolling and wailing in the fire. Once you get up and roll, you will inevitably collide with your comrades. Therefore, those living corpses that were barely alive in the sea of fire without being tainted with kerosene were also affected by their comrades, caught fire, and began to roll with them. Wailing, no one is spared.
The screams of the living corpses were deafening.
Jane Shangling waved her hand and dropped a small barrier, blocking the harsh sound.
The flame continued to burn, and the sound of hunting in the wind, the flame color was bright red, like thousands of red lotus blooming on the earth, there is no time for decline.
On the side, several girls in Phoenix Villa were dealing with each other's wounds, and they were talking while meditating to recover their cultivation.
"The owner said, this time we defend the city, we must have something, can you feel it?"
"Sure enough, we used to learn from each other and practice martial arts, and it was like talking about soldiers on paper. Just now I was fighting for life and death, I finally understood the meaning of many moves!"
"Not only that," Ling Baochen said: "Have you found that every time you are exhausted, your mind can recover some of it? At the moment of life and death, the sword skills of our Phoenix Villa seem to be better than usual."
Ling Baoqing, the longest grader, said: "Phoenix mental art originally has the meaning of Nirvana, when it is strong, it will be strong, and it will come to life from desperation. Only at this time can it be expressed."
The girls nodded and said yes, stopped talking and focused on understanding.
The rest, especially those disciples who have not left the learning palace and have not really fought with others, also sat meditating and gained something.
The sea of fire was still burning, the walking corpses no longer moved forward, and the atmosphere above the city was temporarily relaxed.
Xie Zishe let out a sigh of relief.
She asked Shangling Jian: "We... blocked it."
Shangling Jian shook his head: "No."
Xie Zishe: "Why?"
Shangling simply said: "The battle to defend the city starts from the fire."
Xie Zishe said: "When the fire extinguishes, the living corpse should be extinct."
Shangling simply said: "Master Xie doesn’t know. In North Xia’s corpse refining technique, there is a technique called “fire refining”. Originally afraid of fire, the fire would burn for an hour, and it would die completely, but about ten ordinary living corpses, there will be one that was tempered by the fire, but he was talented and not dead."
Xie Zishe said: "In this way, there are many living corpses in the city, and there will be many undead?"
"Exactly," Jian Shangling looked at the fire below the city, "The fire burned. After the'fire refining', the ordinary living corpse died, and the survivors had changed their physique. North Xia called it the "fire refining corpse." Ordinary monsters can be overcome by force, but the fire to refine the corpse is equivalent to a person who cultivates a golden core.
Xie Zishe frowned: "Ten thousand."
There were about 100,000 corpses that were still alive, so after fire refining, about 10,000 "fire refining corpses" will be born!
Ten thousand fire refining corpses is a person with ten thousand golden cores.
This fire has pros and cons.
One hundred thousand was reduced to ten thousand, and the pressure to defend the city was drastically reduced, but the strength of this ten thousand fire corpse was greatly enhanced, and it was a new danger.
Xie Zishe said: "For the present..."
Shangling Jian said: "Strong fight, delay time."
Xie Zishe nodded.
The theater distributed healing pills to the people of Immortal Dao so that they could recover as soon as possible.
Lin Shu looked at the fire and estimated how long the fire would burn when two people suddenly fell down beside him.
Ling Su said: "Pavilion Master!"
Qing Lu tentatively held out a head behind Lingsu, "Master."
Lin Shu: "Why are you here?"
Ling Su said: "After the pavilion master went to Jinguan City from Longting, I will return to the sword pavilion, but Qinglu misses the pavilion master very much, and wants to follow the pavilion master. Elder Crane agreed, so I brought him here."
Qing Lu's appearance is very wronged, as if he is afraid of being punished.
Ling Su looked around: "Pavilion Master, this is..."
Lin Shu said: "War chaos."
Ling Su said: "Pavilion Master will make a move?"
"Yeah." Lin Shu said.
After thinking about it, Lingsu belongs to the sword pavilion. He is a born person and should not participate. He said, "You go back."
Ling Su said: "I am the pavilion master sword servant, and I should follow the pavilion master."
Qing Lu said: "I am a master disciple..."
Lin Shu thought, nothing.
Lingsu cultivation base is high enough to protect himself, Qinglu cultivation base is shallow, but as long as Jinguan City guards, he will be fine.
He said: "Protect yourself."
Ling Su said "yes", then stopped talking, standing next to Lin Shu.
Yue Ruoyun said to Yue Ruohe: "Good-looking fairy sister."
A moment ago, everyone looked at Lin Shu with different eyes.
It is one thing to know that he is the master of the sword pavilion, it is another thing to really see.
Lingsu is such a high-powered and vulgar fairy who respectfully calls him the "Pavilion Master", and even says that he is just his maid, which shows that the position of the Pavilion Master of Sword Pavilion is high.
Time gradually passed.
The fire is getting smaller.
The wailing of the living corpses in the fire gradually became smaller.
However, the texture of the sound seems to have changed.
The fire went out.
The land outside the city was charred.
On the dark ground, there are countless dry corpses scorched by the fire.
Most of them stopped moving, however, some living corpses trembled and got up from their companions!
Their color has changed. Regardless of their heads, bodies, limbs or faces, they have become dark gold like brass. At first glance, they look like golden arhats in the temple. The twisted posture is extremely terrifying.
The first Huolian corpse staggered to his feet.
Many Fire Refining corpses staggered to their feet.
Shangling Jian suddenly said: "No!"
Lin Shu also felt that something was wrong.
Where is the aura from these fire-refining corpses?
Obviously it has reached the stage of Yuan Ying's early stage!
Ten thousand golden pills, although difficult, they can be dealt with!
Ten thousand... Yuan Ying?
Xie Zishe seemed to have a premonition, and his face was pale: "The news just now is wrong?"
Shangling Jian took a deep breath: "I'm afraid...they are all in the Nascent Soul Realm."
Xie Zishe lost his voice: "What?"
Even people who came from Confucianism and Taoism, spent seven years in the learning palace, know the level of the immortal cultivators.
Ten thousand Yuanying corpses.
You know... At this moment, there are only one thousand Yuanying stage cultivators on the city! Moreover, they were all seriously injured in the battle just now!
Shangling simply said: "North Xia blood poison, compared to what I know, there are changes..."
Xie Zishe said: "This...how can I win?"
The crowd looked at the group of corpses under the city, their faces full of panic.
The first fire-refined corpse jumped from the ground and rushed straight into the city wall!
The bricks of the city wall were broken into pieces by it!
It began to climb up quickly.
Where did Qing Lu have seen such a scene, he immediately persuaded, "Ah", hiding behind Lingsu.
The cat even screamed and slammed into Tu Longwei's arms. The force was so powerful that the innocent Tu Longwei staggered a few steps back.
Lin Shu: "..."
You two are shaking together.
He took out his sword, "sometimes drifting", waved his sword energy in the air, and cut down the fire-refining corpse.
Shangling Jian said: "I and Phoenix Village Master are on separate sides."
Lin Shu nodded.
Originally, their cultivation base for the robbery was reserved for the wizards of North Xia.
Since North Xia has invaded, wouldn't it send a few wizards who have been in the robbery cultivation base?
But now, it was used to deal with these ten thousand fire-refining corpses-after the cultivation base was exhausted, what should do when go to the North Xia Cross Tribulation Wizard?
A tribulation wizard is equivalent to a corpse of living corpses. At that time, Southern Xia is no longer there. What should do?
Poor mountains and rivers, nothing more than that.
Lin Shu looked at Shangling Jian.
Shangling Jian nodded to him, his eyes solemn.
Lin Shu knew that he was also prepared for the worst.
The worst preparation...The city is destroyed and people die.
Or the tens of thousands of people in Jinguan City have all turned into living corpses and ghosts.
He calmed down, crossed his sword, and planned to start using "Sauvignon Blanc."
After the mentality of "Sauvignon Blanc" started working, all the sounds between the heaven and the earth disappeared, and everything was silent.
In this empty silence, he suddenly heard the western ground trembling slightly.
He looks to the west!
At this time, the sky was dusk, and a round of bloody sunset hung on the sky, half swallowed by the horizon.
A line of black tide is coming from the horizon to this side!
A new army of corpses? Lin Shu thought.
Xie Zishe who was beside him also noticed, looking there, his face became paler.
The wizards of North Xia also discovered this, and the movement of the fire corpses stopped.
No, it's not.
Lin Shu opened his eyes slightly.
He saw that under the huge bloody setting sun, a man in red was flying, riding a white horse!
Ling, Feng, Xiao.
In his heart, he thought every word.
Zhao Ye is a rare horse in the world, and it didn't take a moment before he was near.
They also saw clearly what was behind Ling Fengxiao!
It is an army.
A black army.
The cavalry wears heavy black armor, with a green complexion, and a black energy on his body, not like a living person!
And the horses are tall and terrifying, with pitch-black fur and blood-red eyes, just like monsters!
The first one, riding a tallest war horse with a burly figure, said solemnly towards the city wall: "Meng Jian! Don't come here unscathed!"
Shangling Jian said: "General Dugu...long time no see."
General Dugu.
The lone general in Min Prefecture?
When the Min Prefecture rebelled, Shangling Jian went to quell the rebellion. At the same time, Changyang City in the north was in a hurry. In order to quickly help Mr. Dream, Shangling Jian killed the entire city of Min Prefecture with a forbidden technique.
——Min Prefecture turned into a ghost town, and all the people who died in vain in the past became Shura ghosts, and they couldn't save them.
But Ling Fengxiao actually asked them to help.
Lin Shu thought, the ghost city and himself have some connections.
He came into this world since the ghost town.
When met Ling Fengxiao, was also in a ghost town.
But seeing the hoarse of the fierce horse, tens of thousands of black cavalry rushed down from a height, rushing to the group of fire-refining corpses!
One side is a ghost, one side is a living corpse.
Lin Shuyao looked at Ling Fengxiao in the distance.
Seeing blood under the setting sun, among thousands of horses, Ling Fengxiao stopped and looked up at him.
His eyes met, and there was nothing to say.
In Ling Fengxiao's eyes, there seemed to be a bloody setting sun.
In Lin Shu's consciousness, Ling Fengxiao would never, never bow his head, and would never fail.
No matter what kind of crisis, what kind of dangerous situation, even if it is the situation that has just been exhausted, it can be reversed by this person alone.
But at this moment, looking at Ling Fengxiao, looking at his eyes, Lin Shu suddenly felt that such an indestructible, invincible, proud and beautiful person, at this moment looking at him, is easy to break and easy. Hurt.
It has nothing to do with home country, victory or defeat, success or failure.
Ling Fengxiao asked him with his eyes.
—Would you like to see me?
