Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 151: Look carefully at this sword (three-in-one)

The old man in ragged clothes had a pair of eyes that were as sharp and calm as those of a giant deer lurking in the abyss, watching its prey.

His exposed torso was unusually thin and solid, and the muscles were tightly twisted like iron ropes, making people's scalp feel numb just looking at it.

A series of intertwined ferocious old and new scars are laid out on this body, covering almost every corner, almost like a pair of close-fitting scales.

This seemingly stooped and thin old man possesses unparalleled power.

His name was famous all over the world.

Great Grandmaster, "God of Death".

Huo Hengxuan.

"!!!"

Su Huaiying's pupils tightened and her heart was shocked. She had never thought that she could see a living Huo Hengxuan standing in front of her!

No...it can't be said to be alive.

The Huo Hengxuan in front of him is just a soul that was called back to the world by the "Recalling Bell".

But with Su Huaiying's original cultivation level, there was no way he could summon a Great Grandmaster like Huo Hengxuan.

Because Huo Hengxuan’s cultivation level is too high!

He is the real Great Grandmaster who was killed from the pile of corpses. He is at the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm and is halfway into the realm of metaphysics.

If it were in its heyday, even Shen Xingzhu would have to avoid its edge.

The city was broken that day. Ultimately, it was because the Liang Kingdom had already collapsed from within. That was why Huo Hengxuan was unable to stand alone and watched the city break open.

And if the matter itself was a bureau, then Huo Hengxuan should have been deliberately showing weakness at that time.

Su Huaiying was able to recall Huo Jiajun because the cultivation of these soldiers was generally only at the enlightenment level, and they were still at the stage that practitioners called mortals.

Just using them to form a formation does not require too high a level of cultivation.

Otherwise, let alone Huo Hengxuan, Su Huaiying would not be able to bring back the souls of those soldiers who were in the middle three grades.

Although Chen Kuang's cultivation level is much higher, he doesn't even know how to activate the "Recall Bell"!

How to recall Huo Hengxuan? !

Su Huaiying was puzzled.

Of course she couldn't figure it out...

What brought Huo Hengxuan back was not actually the "retrospective bell". The latter just acted as a medium, or an introduction.

What really worked was Chen Kuang’s “Poetry Madness” passive.

After he read out the poem, the passive took effect immediately, recruiting the person who best suited the atmosphere of the moment.

The "God of Killing" general of the Liang Kingdom, Huo Hengxuan!

Faced with Huo Hengxuan’s own doubts, Chen Kuang, who blatantly spread rumors, shrugged and smiled nonchalantly:

"You are dead anyway. What you said before you died has nothing to do with you. But I am the living party, so others will definitely believe me."

"It doesn't matter whether you remember it or not, I'll just remember it for you."

Huo Hengxuan snorted coldly: "A living person? I don't think so."

He walked up to Chen Kuang, glanced at the dark army in front, and marveled:

"Although I have known for a long time that you are not a creature of the pond, I did not expect that you can actually stir up trouble to this extent. There are ten armies in the Yang Kingdom, and four of them are coming to surround you, which can be regarded as the strength of the entire country."

"Besieged by four armies, even Grandmaster, if only one person is facing the enemy, he will be like a trapped beast in a cage, like an ant under the elephant, and he will die without any chance of survival."

Huo Hengxuan chuckled and said, "I think you are dead today."

Damn shit, you old bastard, do you think this is a compliment? !

Chen Kuang twitched his lips, but he did not refute that these troops were actually originally here to encircle and suppress the rebels. No matter what happened before, their target now is Chen Kuang.

He looked at Huo Hengxuan and said with a smile:

"General Huo probably doesn't want me to be captured by Yang Kingdom, right?"

Huo Hengxuan said with some surprise: "I don't want the little princess to be caught, and I don't want you to be caught... Boy, are you a little pretentious?"

Chen Kuang spread his hands and said, "Now the Emperor of Yang Kingdom already knows that I took the elixir of longevity. If he catches me, I don't guarantee that he will know anything else."

Huo Hengxuan: "..."

Chen Kuang asked again: "General Huo, is it fun to calculate other people's feelings?"

Huo Hengxuan stopped his smile and sighed, "It seems you understand."

The old man and the young man looked at each other. Chen Kuang seemed to be smiling, but Huo Hengxuan had no expression on his face, but there was a vague atmosphere of silence.

Su Huaiying: “…”

The little princess was a little confused.

What do you know? Why do they seem to have suddenly reached a consensus? Am I an outsider?

——Since Chen Kuang is not in reincarnation, things related to Chen Kuang are one of the few blind spots in the little princess’s six hundred years of reincarnation experience. Even with some of Zhang Zhizhou’s guesses just now, she cannot come to a relative conclusion. Complete conclusion.

Chen Kuang said sincerely: "I admire General Huo's loyalty and patriotism."

"If this desperate poem is spread, it can also change the Liang people's misunderstanding of the general. What does the general think?"

Huo Hengxuan sighed and said, "Fame is secondary... that's all."

He half-turned around, clearly indicating that he was ready to help Chen Kuang.

Chen Kuang hesitated for a moment, then transformed into a killing sword and held it out with both hands:

"Does General Huo need a sword?"

Huo Hengxuan glanced at it, and then sneered mercilessly: "You are a useless sword!"

Chen Kuang was not angry because of this contempt. He knew that Huo Hengxuan was probably telling the truth...

Not to mention that he still only has the cultivation level of Ascending Tower Realm, and he really does not have any superior swordsmanship.

The only two swordsmanship skills he knew were the Qinjian taught by Xi Mengquan, and the killing sword taught to him by Huo Hengxuan.

It does feel a bit like playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

But Chen Kuang said this because he saw that Huo Hengxuan didn't have a sword on him.

After all, the killing sword transformed by Cutting Grass Song is hidden in the soul, and Huo Hengxuan doesn't have it with him at the moment, so it probably really doesn't exist.

After being summoned by the "Recall Bell", the soul will definitely be depleted.

Huo Hengxuan is not immune.

But it seems that General Huo is no longer needed.

Chen Kuang took back his killing sword.

Huo Hengxuan turned around, faced thousands of troops, and said calmly:

"Boy, since you can survive until now... you must have never seen Saint take action."

Chen Kuang frowned and said:

"Right here, not long ago, Saint, a female from the Yang Kingdom, blocked a continent's spiritual energy with one finger, and almost killed five million people. Doesn't this count?"

Huo Hengxuan glanced at him and shook his head:

"Then have you ever thought about what if she chose to crush these five million people from the beginning?"

Chen Kuang was speechless.

Indeed.

If the female Saint planned to kill someone from the beginning, and sealed the spiritual energy first and then lowered her finger, she would have had no chance of surviving.

Chen Kuang was hunted because he was carrying the elixir of life, but because of the elixir of life, these people did not dare to kill him directly, for fear that the clues to the elixir of life they had obtained would be destroyed by them again.

As long as the other party has a plan, Chen Kuang can take advantage of it.

Instead, he escaped from death and was killed several times.

Well...except when facing Martial Saint.

Although Martial Saint is a self-willed and self-centered person, he always takes revenge when he has a grudge, and is not hindered by any external interests at all. He does not care about the elixir of life and has no interest in it at all.

In this Cangyuan, it can be regarded as a breath of fresh air...

Chen Kuang suddenly cupped his hands towards Huo Hengxuan and said in a deep voice: "I have learned a lesson."

After repeatedly escaping and even taking advantage of the national luck to cheat Saint, Chen Kuang's mentality inevitably drifted a little unconsciously, so he refuted Huo Hengxuan.

But Huo Hengxuan's words made him alert.

Now that he has self-destructed the elixir of life, it may soon reach Ji Chengtian's ears, and his whereabouts will also be exposed.

The situation in the future will only be more difficult than before.

Must be cautious.

Today he killed Wen Pei in front of Saint. It seemed reckless, but in fact, he had united with Wen Xian from the beginning - the emperor of the Yang Kingdom had his own backing.

He didn't believe that the king of a country would have no means to deal with or restrict Saint.

Otherwise, the foundation of this country will be unstable from the beginning, and how can it maintain its rule under the threat of Saint's strength.

In fact, at the moment before Wen Pei's death, if Chen Kuang had not read the latter's inner thoughts about the fate of the country, he would have chosen other methods.

The process may be a little tortuous, but tonight, Wen Pei will die in Zangfeng Prefecture no matter what.

Huo Hengxuan snorted, looked at the cloud-like Yang banner, and said lightly:

"For the sake of your understanding, please watch the next sword carefully."

"How much you can learn depends entirely on your own ability."

He said softly: "After all... after today, I will truly disappear from this world."

Chen Kuang was silent.

He had also doubted whether Huo Hengxuan was really dead.

The Huo Hengxuan who appeared in the cave in the mountain col was not Huo Hengxuan's soul, but a wisp of Spirit Partitioning.

The image of the sturdy old general in towering gold armor is completely inconsistent with the image of Huo Hengxuan before his death, which is also a doubtful point.

Spirit Partitioning is a Divine Ability that can be naturally understood in the middle three grades. It is called "Spirit Partitioning". With Spirit Partitioning, there is also the main god.

In other words, there was a chance that Huo Hengxuan was not dead at that time.

But now, using the "Returning Bell" as a medium, the spirit of Huo Hengxuan who exists in the bardo is summoned.

It means that he is really dead.

Today's reunion is the last time.

Chen Kuang took a deep breath and solemnly said: "This sword, this junior will keep it in mind."

Huo Hengxuan's cultivation is not half-advanced as Su Huaiying thought.

When he died, he was a false saint who became enlightened by "protecting the country"! ! !

And his soul also retained the cultivation level at that time. Although it was inferior to the real Saint, half of Huo Hengxuan's feet had already stepped onto the shore from the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Across the Sea of ​​Bitterness is the road bank.

Chen Kuang calls himself a junior and regards Huo Hengxuan as his senior.

Besides Xi Mengquan, Huo Hengxuan can indeed be regarded as his second mentor, but Huo Hengxuan does not regard himself as a master, and Chen Kuang does not intend to become a disciple.

"Rumble..."

The clanking iron hooves of the Yang Kingdom's four armies were like beating a thousand giant drums, shaking the ground, causing the gravel to beat, and eagles to fly and rabbits to flee.

The Yang Kingdom has an army of fifteen thousand men, and the four armies are a total of sixty thousand men!

It has exceeded the number of Black Armored Army that day.

Thousands of horses galloped, and the army lined up in front of them, with the cavalry battalion in front and the infantry battalion behind. The running soldiers raised their dark spears and followed the knights in front to charge forward.

Their expressions were resolute, murderous intent condensed in their eyes, like a solid wall, they rushed forward coldly, overwhelming all obstacles.

Seen from a distance, it looks like a wave of darkness rushing over, shocking the soul and shaking the brain.

While attacking from the front and back, the generals of the four armies, including Jiang Wei, all used force formations!

"boom!"

The majestic spiritual energy surged like a huge storm, covering the sky and the sun, and three different Law Manifestations condensed in mid-air!

"Roar!!!"

The loud shouts of the army, superimposed with the sound of the Law Manifestation waving their weapons forward, were almost deafening.

If it were an ordinary person here, he would probably be scared to death on the spot.

The formation presided over by Su Huaiying finally began to show signs of collapse.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The four god generals attacked the two-faced Law Manifestation at the same time. One of the latter's arms was cut off, a huge wound was cut on the side of his neck, and his chest was directly penetrated.

The Shuiyue Guanyin, as beautiful as the phantom moon, actually shed a tear from her left eye, as if she was lamenting her destiny.

As for Shura Xiang, he was still struggling to hold on, with a ferocious green face and red eyes. He suddenly exposed his fangs and began to tear the arm of the nearest god general, and actually tore his arm directly off!

Su Huaiying's face turned pale, and a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth, but the rest of the blood was swallowed back into her throat.

Chen Kuang knelt down, patted her back and said, "Let's lift the formation."

Su Huaiying took a deep breath and nodded.

The double-sided Law Manifestation in the sky fell backwards with a crash, and then turned into countless fragments with a halo, and just dissipated in mid-air.

The four divine generals immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack, slashing at everyone with different huge weapons.

The sound of the wind was suppressed and frightening.

The thin and ragged old man standing in front of them bore the brunt of the attack.

The old man raised his head and pointed to the sky.

He stretched out two fingers, two fingers that were as thin and powerful as bamboo joints. They came together like this and stabbed straight into the sky.

The old man's spine was straight, as if there was nothing straighter than this in the world.

He is no longer thin, but extremely tall!

His figure seemed to extend endlessly toward the sky, until he reached the pitch-black sky. Not even the sun, moon, and universe could hide his figure.

Hold the sky and stand on the ground.

At this moment, he was like a sword that penetrated heaven and earth.

Huo Hengxuan spoke. He seemed to be talking to Chen Kuang behind him, but he seemed to be just mumbling to himself.

He said softly: "I actually never know how to use a sword."

"Someone once told me that I was not good at learning swordsmanship. It would be ugly and useless to play with swords, so I didn't learn swordsmanship."

"I have never touched any of the many sword techniques in Jialan Temple. All I have learned is boxing and kicking."

"Later in the army, I had to pick up a sword because the only weapon I could use was a sword."

""The Song of Killing Grass" has never been about swordsmanship, it's just about killing people."

"It doesn't matter what weapon you use, it matters how many people you kill."

"The more people you kill, the stronger you become. The stronger you are, the higher your status is, and the more you get... I have to fight for it. When I come back to that person, even if it is an ugly sword, she will It has to be said that it looks good."

Huo Hengxuan raised his head, looked at the sky, sighed, and said:

"That's what I always thought."

"But later I discovered that was not the case."

"After I became successful, so many people flattered me and complimented me on how good I am with the sword against my will. I was not happy at all... It turned out that I didn't want to win over others, I just wanted her to talk to me."

"It's a pity...there will never be such an opportunity again."

The old man had no expression on his face, lowering his head and looking at the huge army in front of him, as if looking at a swarm of ants:

"In this life, I only know one sword."

"Everyone thinks it looks good when they see it."

Huo Hengxuan moved his hands, and his sword fingers, which were brought together, slowly split the world from top to bottom.

He said: "Behead!"

The old man's posture is extremely simple, even crude, and he does not have any fancy special effects such as spiritual energy surges, colorful brilliance, or the like.

I didn't see a huge long sword condensing in mid-air.

No more overwhelming swords were seen following the old man's summons.

It's so simple, even...a little ugly.

But then, Chen Kuang was shocked to realize that this sword was not slow.

On the contrary, it is incredibly fast.

Because the army in front of us has begun to roll back.

Yes, rewind.

This is not a metaphor, but a real phenomenon.

The overwhelming force of thousands of galloping horses that came over like a wave, hanging in the air for thousands of miles, all "rolled" back at the same time as the sword was swung down.

The horse's limbs were curled up, like a watermelon bug that children love to play with, rolling towards the back.

The cavalrymen on horseback were also rolled into the horse, like the fillings in rice rolls.

The same goes for the four divine generals in the sky. No matter how huge, terrifying, or intimidating they are, they have all become seaweed wrapped on a rice roll.

Flags, horns, people, armor, and dust flying all over the sky.

They all rolled back in an instant.

At the same time, things at the back are curling forward as well.

Same on the left, same on the right, up and down, front and back!

Countless things fold and curl towards a central point, as if they have changed from a three-dimensional object to a flat surface.

And those involved don't seem to understand what's going on.

Their expressions were still so resolute, and their faces were full of murderous intent, as if they were the enemies they wanted to kill in front of them.

The horse's limbs did not stop, and were always running hard.

Even their eyes still reflected the appearance of Chen Kuang and others.

In the reflection, their spears and swords were stabbing at the latter, and victory was close at hand!

But in reality, they were getting farther and farther away from Chen Kuang and others, until they were drawn into the center, and a strange gap was revealed.

That gap seems to be the center of everything, and also seems to be the origin of everything.

It seems to be black and it seems to be white.

Everything becomes chaotic and indistinguishable.

And everything involved in it becomes part of this chaos and can no longer leave.

So Chen Kuang finally understood.

Huo Hengxuan's sword cut away this space!

Chen Kuang was shocked, but he couldn't do anything.

Because at this moment, he could only watch the extremely slow sword continue to fall.

He was too slow and could only be located in this space, but could not reach Huo Hengxuan and the space where the Yang Kingdom's army was.

Of course, if he touches it, he may not escape death.

Huo Hengxuan's eyes were calm and his movements were calm.

He just calmly made a gentle stroke from top to bottom with his sword finger, and then dropped his hands naturally.

With one sword, it was over.

The world in front of me has become extremely quiet and peaceful.

Because except for the three of them, everything else except heaven and earth disappeared...

Chen Kuang looked at the scene in front of him almost dumbfounded, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

Damn it...

The land was bare, barren of grass and flat, and the buildings and everything else had disappeared.

It was as if the 60,000-strong army had never appeared.

"Huhu..."

The sound of the wind was particularly loud in this remote wilderness.

Chen Kuang and Su Huaiying looked at each other, feeling trembling and helpless.

Huo Hengxuan in front of him turned around and asked:

"Do you think this sword looks good?"

Chen Kuang and Su Huaiying immediately nodded sharply: "It looks good, it looks so good."

Huo Hengxuan let out a long breath: "It's another lie."

Goosebumps suddenly appeared on Chen Kuang's back, and a chill ran from his spine to the back of his head.

Huo Hengxuan chuckled and glanced at him: "Why are you so nervous?"

Chen Kuang laughed dryly.

Huo Hengxuan suddenly said:

"There was something I wanted to ask you, but I didn't have time at the time...and I felt ashamed of you, so I didn't say it."

Chen Kuang immediately nodded solemnly: "You say it!"

Huo Hengxuan's figure gradually began to dissipate, turning into fragments and disappearing in mid-air.

Chen Kuang breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

It seems that Huo Hengxuan is finally leaving this time...

Huo Hengxuan's voice came from the void and rang in Chen Kuang's mind: "Now I give you this sword, and I will take it as a reward."

"Do one thing for me."

Chen Kuang looked at the extremely empty world in front of him and responded silently: "Senior, please speak."

Huo Hengxuan said: "When you get to Jialan Temple, help me find someone."

"Show her this sword and ask her if it looks good."

…

Chen Kuang walked with Su Huaiying for ten minutes and finally walked out of this wilderness with nothing left.

But Zhang Zhizhou doesn’t know where he is now.

Chen Kuang decided to find a place to hide first and wait for this guy to come and join him.

After searching for a long time, I finally found only a ruined temple.

Chen Kuang sat down, lit a fire, and remembered that he seemed to have missed the leprous-headed Taoist priest again this time.

Chen Kuang had already inquired through Monster Race when he was preparing for a joint venture.

There is no one in the palace anymore.

After Wen Pei led his army into Zangfeng Prefecture, the first one to respond was the Prince of Jingnan, where almost all the combat forces had joined Wen Pei's army.

At this moment, there is only an empty garden in the palace.

The leprous-headed Taoist priest had already taken the opportunity to run away...

Chen Kuang was thinking so.

"Hey, are you looking for Pindao?"

An unfamiliar hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

Chen Kuang turned around suddenly and saw a grinning Taoist priest walking out from behind the pillars of the ruined temple. He was old and ugly, with shackles on his hands and feet.
