Martial Cultivator

After leaving Bailuzhou, Chen Chao started to travel north again. This time, he had finished what he needed to do. Since he had entrusted the matter of the human spy to Chixin Temple, Chen Chao would not interfere. With the cooperation of Chixin Temple and the Zhenshou Yamen, it should be fine.

However, Chen Chao did not walk very fast on this trip north. On the way, he actually wanted to take a good look at the Liang Dynasty.

It was not for any other reason, but he probably felt that it would be difficult to come back after going north.

Facing the current situation, he had long been willing to die for his country. It didn't matter if he died, as long as he could win.

So Chen Chao was not in a heavy mood on the way. He walked and stopped, and soon arrived at the border of Weizhou.

Chen Chao has always had deep feelings for Weizhou. In his heart, he probably prefers to regard Weizhou as his hometown. The small courtyard in the remote county town is probably the most comfortable place for him to stay in these years.

In those years, he went out to kill monsters from time to time, and had supper with the county magistrate Mi Ke when he was free. Although Mi Ke was smooth in dealing with things, he was indeed not a first-class corrupt official. Now he is an official in Shendu. I heard that his reputation is still very good, but he is a little older. If he is younger and has a few more years, he may not be unable to become a prime minister.

But Mi Ke never thought that he could reach that step in his life, and he felt that the current situation was also very good.

Chen Chao was a little emotional. After parting in Tianqing County, although the two met again in Shendu, they had too many things to do afterwards, so they didn’t actually sit down and have a good supper.

Thinking about all those miscellaneous things, Chen Chao walked most of Weizhou and finally came to a ferry. Going north here means setting foot on the territory of Changpingzhou, and then going north, it is Xinliuzhou, the northern border.

Standing in front of the ferry, Chen Chao looked gloomy.

Ever since watching the little girl named Xie Ying die in his arms, every time he came to the ferry, Chen Chao would think of a question.

That is, if he had escorted Xie Ying to Bailuzhou at the beginning.

This matter has been Chen Chao's inner demon for a long time. Although he has let it go now, he has not forgotten the matter. Every time he thinks of it, he will feel a little depressed.

Although it is a big Liang Dynasty, in the past, people were eaten by monsters in the mountains and forests every day, but there is still a big difference between seeing and not seeing.

Just when Chen Chao was a little distracted, a ferry had already docked. Many people got off the boat, and some of them were obviously traveling together. After getting off the boat, they originally planned to go southeast. However, after walking a few steps, a woman in a plain robe looked at a figure in the distance and said, "Look, that person looks like the town garrison commander."

The rest of the people didn't even turn their heads to look, and laughed. A man laughed and said, "Wu Yi, you really can't forget him?"

Unlike the man's joke, the other woman was much more considerate when she spoke, "This is human nature. Now it is even rumored in the north that Fairy Li Tang also admires the town garrison commander very much, but it's just unrequited love."

"Haha, if it was another man who treated Fairy Li Tang like this, I, Xu, would definitely scold him for being ungrateful, but since he is the town garrison commander, then... he really deserves to be the town garrison commander!"

The man laughed, and his words also made everyone laugh.

"Xu Yin, I remember you were a rebellious young man in your early years, but now you are full of admiration for the garrison commander?"

Another young man in a green shirt spoke up. His name was also coincidentally called Li Qingshan.

Xu Yin smiled and said, "Is there another person in the world who can drive the demon emperor out of Daliang? Is there another person who can fight three people alone on the battlefield? Of course I admire such a person. But I'm still holding back. If Hai Qing was still around..."

At this point, Xu Yin's voice became a little softer, and he said softly with some sadness, "He would say more exaggerated things."

When mentioning Hai Qing, the emotions of these people were not very high.

"Let's go."

Wu Yi sniffed first and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Let's do it first."

The others nodded, and when they were about to move forward, the young man who was only a back figure before had turned around and looked at them from over there.

Seeing the back before was just a guess, and I had never thought about it. Now that I saw the face, Wu Yi was the first to be stunned.

"The garrison commander..."

The others heard this and looked over there. As expected, they saw a young man in black shirt looking at them with a smile.

"The garrison commander!"

Xu Yin was the first to speak, a little excited.

Chen Chao walked towards them and said with a smile: "Fairy Huang, Fairy Wu, Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Li, long time no see."

These people were the ones Chen Chao had met in the North before under the pseudonym Chen Ling. Of course, they also knew his identity later.

In Qingyue Mountain, Chen Chao once said that if the demon race broke through the Great Wall of the North, he would be the first person in the Dead Country. At that time, many cultivators felt their blood boiling and left the North for the North.

These people were like this at that time, but there were seven people at that time. Now...

Chen Chao frowned, "Fairy Han, Fellow Daoist Hai, and Fellow Daoist Zuo?"

Xu Yin's eyes were dim and he couldn't speak.

Huang Ying then said softly: "The first time the demon clan attacked the city, Hai Qing, Han Chan and Zuo Mu died on the top of the city."

Chen Chao remained silent.

Hai Qing, a close disciple of the Qianhu Sect's leader, is a pure martial artist. He is regarded by the Qianhu Sect as the next leader. The same is true for Zuo Mu, who is also regarded as the successor of the Snow Mountain Sect.

Compared with these two men, Chen Chao actually had a deeper impression of Han Chan. This was not because she was a woman, but because she was a rare female martial artist with an extremely forthright personality. She even thought about marrying Chen Chao. The Lord Guardian is comparing his sword skills.

When we said goodbye that day, no one thought it would be the last time we saw each other.

"A few of them sacrificed their lives for the country, and I admire them very much."

Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "At this moment, I can only say these polite words."

Li Qingshan, who had always been silent, said: "Hai Qing, that stupid guy, was still saying before he died that the Lord Guardian did not hide behind us, but stood in front of us. Just for this reason, Hai Qing... Qing will die without regrets.”

"Han Chan said that her biggest regret was that she could not stab the guardian envoy."

Huang Ying's eyes were moist and she was speechless.

They were the ones who stayed with these two people when they were dying. As for Zuo Mu, he died during the war without leaving any last words.

Chen Chao said: "I, the court, and the people will remember them."

Xu Yin wiped his face and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you remember it or not. Anyway, we did this voluntarily. It is not aggrieved to die in the north. If you feel sad, you will only feel that you have not killed enough monsters." !”

Huang Ying glanced at Chen Chao, then changed the question and asked: "The guardian envoy is traveling alone, are you going back to the north?"

When they went south, they also heard a lot of things along the way, including the destruction of Yinshan Mountain in Yingzhou. All of this was done by the guardian envoy.

"After we finish our work, we have to return to the north. The situation there is still a bit dangerous."

Chen Chao asked: "What about you?"

"We are going to Huanglongzhou now, and then we will return to the north."

Wu Yi said: "That silly big guy from Haiqing is from Huanglongzhou. He has always wanted to return to his roots. We brought his bones back, which can be regarded as fulfilling his dream. However, this guy was obviously born in Jianqi." It doesn’t make sense that he is not a swordsman in a strong place.”

In the early years, they had been joking that there were too many strange things in the world. Hai Qing, who was born in Huanglong Prefecture, was actually a martial artist, and Li Qingshan, who was born in Bailu Prefecture, was not a scholar but a swordsman.

At that time, Hai Qing would only smile innocently, and Li Qingshan would probably ignore it.

The rest of the people would laugh together.

I just thought it was unusual at the time.

Xu Yin said: "I came back this time to take a look at my hometown. Even if I come back, I will die after that, so I won't bother you."

Wu Yi rolled his eyes at him, "Do you think you're dead and we're going to treat you like that piece of wood from Hai Qing?"

Huang Ying smiled slightly. She had long been accustomed to the bickering between the two people, so she didn't speak to them.

But Chen Chao looked at them and said, "If possible, try to live as long as possible."

Li Qingshan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord Guard. We have already seen through such matters as life and death."

Xu Yin quickly waved his hands and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I still don't want to die, but sometimes I have to die."

Chen Chao smiled, changed the subject and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, have you seen Yu Xiyi at the top of the city this time?"

Li Qingshan nodded, "I've seen him from afar, but I haven't been able to talk to Yu Dajianxian."

Chen Chao smiled and said: "This time when I return to the northern border and meet that guy Yu Xiyi, I will talk to him and try to get you two to sit down and have a drink together."

"That doesn't matter, I just hope that Sword Immortal Yu can kill a few more demon kings with his sword, so as to gain face for us sword cultivators."

Li Qingshan thought for a while and said: "If possible, the guardian envoy could mention to Sword Immortal Yu that there is a swordsman named Li Qingshan who fought side by side with him at the top of the northern city."

Chen Chao nodded.

Wu Yi suddenly spoke weakly, "Lord Guardian, can I make a request?"

Chen Chao smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter."

"Master Guardian, can you give me a message to that Guanzhu Yun? Just say... just say that Wu Yi has always liked him."

Wu Yi's face was a little red, but he still mustered up the courage to say such words now.

In fact, this is not an unexpected thing. Yun Jianyue has always had no shortage of women to like him outside Fangwai. After all, with his appearance, his background, and even his personality, as long as he is short of Taoist companions, he will already have a big one. He threw a lot of women into his arms.

Chen Chao had a strange look on his face. He just remembered what Yun Jianyue said about having an heir. However, after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud to disappoint him. He just smiled and said, "The words will take care of it."

Then Chen Chao took the initiative to look at Huang Ying and asked, "Where is Fairy Huang?"

Huang Ying shook her head and joked: "I don't think I will definitely die. I won't say such last words."

Chen Chao smiled and nodded, "That's right."

After that, several people said goodbye at the ferry. A few people were going south first and then north. Chen Chao, on the other hand, wanted to rush directly to the north.

After the two parties said goodbye, Chen Chao walked north along the river, while a few people here stood and watched.

Xu Yin couldn't help but sigh: "No one is like this, right? You have reached this level, you are still so young, and your future is obviously limitless, but you still have to put your head on your waist and fight for your life. Is it difficult to do it?"

"Otherwise, why would so many people admire him?"

Huang Ying smiled.

After that, the group of people headed south. Xu Yin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Huang Ying, did you buy a portrait of Lord Guardian in Shendu before? What did you do with that thing?"

Huang Ying said calmly: "You take care of me."

"You don't like Lord Guardian, do you?"

Xu Yin joked, with a smile on his face.

Huang Ying did not answer this question honestly, but just said: "How many women in the world don't like him?"

Xu Yin thought about it for a while and found that this was indeed the truth.

…

…

After leaving the Demon Clan's royal city, he had not yet returned to Mobei, but had just reached the lower reaches of the Onan River where the Red Sleeve Demon Lord and the Bai Jing Demon Lord met again.

This demon king, who has a high status in the demon sea in the north, is actually not that bright now. After all, on the battlefield before, he was almost trampled to death by the young warrior with a casual kick. Many demon clans saw it. It's true. In addition, those Fuyun demons have also appeared on the battlefield.

With such an existence appearing, Bai Jing naturally becomes less memorable.

The red-sleeved demon king looked at Bai Jing straight to the point and said with a smile: "I'm sure you won't refuse if I make a deal."

Demon Lord Bai Jing narrowed his eyes. His views on this eldest princess were never simple, "What kind of deal?"

"You bring all the tribes from the Demon Sea to Mobei and listen to my orders. Once you break the Great Wall in the north and destroy the human race, the southern border will help you ascend to the throne of God."

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord took out his bargaining chips without any hesitation, and also made an offer that the Bai Jing Demon Lord seemed unable to refuse no matter what.

Demon Lord Bai Jing did not answer the words of Demon Lord Red Sleeves. Instead, he asked: "Why do you want to destroy the human race? Don't you like their culture and customs very much?"

"That's right, so I'm not surprised that they are getting stronger little by little, and I won't be surprised that they will become even stronger in the future. That's why I want to destroy them all the more."

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord smiled and said: "I was not able to sit on the throne of God at the beginning, but the blood flowing in my body is the blood of the royal family after all. These are my people, how can I watch them be enslaved by the human race in the future?"

Bai Jing sneered: "Since they are all said to be your people, don't you think what you said before is ridiculous?"

"That's what I say, but I have a grudge against my nephew. It's not like you don't know. Women are always petty and easy to hold grudges. This is not a strange thing."

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord smiled and said, "You don't have to believe it, but if you don't make this deal with me, you won't have much chance of becoming the Demon Emperor."

Bai Jing was still very cautious, "I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to die in his state."

"Since he is the strongest, he is naturally the most eye-catching. It is no secret that the human race wants to kill him. But on our side, those Fuyun demons, do you really think they came up with it themselves? They were coerced into doing things by others. Everyone will feel annoyed, and if they are annoyed, they may take action.”

The Red-sleeved Demon Lord said: "Even if you don't die, you will still be seriously injured. When the time comes, you will lead the southern Xinjiang army, not to mention a 100% chance of winning, at least 80%."

"By the way, you even have the demon sea clans. Who doesn't know that those guys over there may not listen to anything else, but they will never listen to you, Bai Jing."

Bai Jing asked: "How do I know if you will lie to me?"

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord smiled calmly and said: "Some things are just like this. I say a thousand words and ten thousand, no matter how guaranteed it is, should you doubt it or not? This kind of thing is only up to you to consider. What do you think, that is what it is."

Bai Jing didn't say anything. In fact, if the Red Sleeve Demon Lord used any means to make things perfect, he would feel that something was wrong. In this way, he felt that there was no problem.

"You must know that those Fuyun demons are not interested in the throne, and the others do not have your prestige. No one can compete with you."

When the Red Sleeve Demon King said this, he paused and said with a smile, "That's all."

After saying this, the Red-sleeved Demon Lord walked toward Mobei, leaving Bai Jing alone.

I don’t know how long it took, but the Red-Sleeved Demon Lord had only walked a few dozen feet away when Bai Jing’s voice came from behind.

"make a deal."

The red-sleeved demon smiled and said nothing.

Some people are easy to deceive because they are very persistent about something, so even if you tell a lie that is full of loopholes, they will believe it.

The hardest people to deceive are those who have no idea about anything.

The Red-sleeved Demon Lord did not turn around, but just pulled a wild flower at her feet, held it in her hand, and smiled. She was almost certain that Bai Jing would not survive until the end of the war.

Because there is another saying that the less people want to die, the faster they die.

…

…

When the red-sleeved demon king arrived at the Chinese army's tent that was moving forward, the high priest was relieved.

The war is about to break out, but the Red Sleeve Demon Lord has not yet arrived as the coach, so the high priest must be worried.

The Red Sleeve Demon Lord joked: "Jing Zhu, this is the first time I see you worrying about me. I must keep it up in the future."

The high priest said helplessly: "As the coach of the demon clan, it is difficult for me not to worry if you are not here at the moment."

"Is this all there is?"

Red Sleeve Demon King blinked his big eyes, looking pitiful.

The high priest turned around and ignored her.

Red Sleeve Demon King smiled.

"I know you are a piece of stone."

Red Sleeve Demon King walked forward a few steps. From this position, he could actually see the top of the northern Great Wall from a distance.

"People are going to die again."

Red Sleeve Demon King rubbed his knuckles and said with some regret: "Why didn't this battle start more than two hundred years ago?"

At that time, there was no such thing as the Daliang Dynasty in this world.

The high priest just asked: "This time, is it still a full-scale siege?"

In the first battle, the demon clan spared no effort to send heavy troops to several important passes, but in fact, they chose to fight to the death with the general's mansion.

At that time, they probably thought that if they broke through the general's mansion in one fell swoop, they could completely defeat the morale of the Daliang border army, and things would be much easier afterwards, but in the end it was still a little bit worse.

"Although the first siege failed, the consumption was successful for the human race. This time they will definitely be more stretched."

Red Sleeve Demon King glanced at the high priest and smiled: "But Jing Zhu, you are right. Although you have a big family and a lot of money, you can't squander it casually."

Red Sleeve Demon King took a deep breath and said with a smile: "This time, I will use my brain more. After all, it is the last time."

...

...

The demon army was stationed a hundred miles in front of the Northern Great Wall, and the Red Sleeve Demon King and the high priest came to a place not far from the city.

On the top of the city, a group of Northern generals including General Ning Ping were looking at the Red Sleeve Demon King at this moment.

Red Sleeve Demon King raised his head and smiled: "Why not surrender? So many people will not die."

Ning Ping smiled and said: "Has this happened in the past two hundred years?"

"Oh."

Red Sleeve Demon King smiled and said: "I almost forgot that your Daliang is different from before."

Ning Ping smiled but said nothing.

"But I still have one thing to say. If you don't surrender, when the city falls, none of you will survive."

Red Sleeve Demon King looked at the top of the city, but in fact his eyes were not on Ning Ping, but on Xie Nandu who was farther away.

"Don't worry, if the city really fell, we would have died anyway."

Ning Ping shook his head and said, "If you are really afraid of death, why come here?"

Red Sleeve Demon King whispered, "It can't be defended."

As the commander of the demon army said this, several terrifying auras spread over the demon army behind her.

That was a group of demon kings, the number was so large that it was jaw-dropping.

What is the power of the whole clan? Now this is the power of the whole clan.

However, a sword light flashed across the top of the city in an instant. A young great sword fairy rubbed his nose, appeared on the top of the city, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I can kill a few."

A Taoist appeared and looked forward.

The master of Wantian Palace.

A middle-aged scholar opened his tired eyes.

Beside him, there was a great sword immortal holding a flying sword with a blade as thin as a cicada's wing.

Further away, several old sword immortals with haggard faces smiled at each other.

Obviously, the number of this group of Forgetful Ends was still not as large as that of the demon clan over there, but no one felt afraid.

Red Sleeve Demon King did not speak, but several more terrifying auras appeared in the sky.

That was an existence above the demon king, and even the demon clan did not know how to call that existence, so they could only call it the four words Fuyun Great Demon temporarily.

If it was the Forgetful End, the human race could still forcefully resist it, but what about the Forgetful Above?

How to resist?

With these terrifying auras permeating, did any of these people on the top of the city dare to say that they could fight?

Yu Xiyi pulled the corner of his mouth with disdain.

What if my realm is not as good as yours? I still disdain it.

But that terrifying aura still weighed on everyone's heart.

Until the next moment, a sword light broke through the sea of ​​clouds and shattered a large area of ​​demonic energy. Everyone felt relieved.

A tall man appeared on the top of the city. He stood with his hands behind his back and had long hair draped over his shoulders. His hair was mixed with black and white.

As soon as he appeared, it was as if a real unsheathed long sword appeared between heaven and earth, sharp as a razor!

In the past thousand years, in terms of the level of swordsmanship, there may be doubts about who is the leader, but in terms of who has the highest realm and the strongest killing power among sword cultivators, there is no doubt that it is this person.

The leader of this generation of the Sword Sect, the real number one swordsman in the world!

When he appeared on the top of the city, everyone felt relieved.

Then on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, there was a scholar and an old man.

Three Fuyun.

Although the number of people is still not enough, but... at least it is much better than the first battle when Chen Chao was alone.

The Red Sleeve Demon King just watched quietly and didn't say anything.

Because the protagonist has not appeared yet.

As expected, at this moment, a young man in black slowly appeared on the top of the city wall, glanced at the Red Sleeve Demon King on the ground, and then glanced at the vaguely visible demon army in the distance.

Not long ago, the young warrior who had leisurely walked through the demon army exhaled a breath of foul air and said calmly: "Try it."
