Nightwatcher

Yunzhou, located in Qianlong City in the deep mountains, above the turbulent sea of ​​clouds, a huge ship slowly lowered its body.

boom!

The ship shook suddenly, as if hitting a rock.

In the sky above Qianlong City, a "shell" emerged, blocking the uninvited guests who fell from the sky.

The moment the Yufeng boat was intercepted by the defensive formation, the hooded figure in white flew up from the boat and looked down at the entire Qianlong City.

"This formation is composed of seventy-six earth-shaking formations. Even a fourth-rank martial artist can't break through it. It's a little troublesome."

Yang Qianhuan said lightly.

On the edge of Yufengzhou, Nangong Qianrou frowned and said:

"You can?"

Yang Qianhuan stood with his hands behind his back, speaking in an invincible tone:

"Hand in hand!"

The inability of a fourth-rank martial artist to break through does not mean that a fourth-rank warlock cannot do it. He deliberately emphasized so in order to highlight his own uniqueness.

After the words fell, Yang Qianhuan's feet lightly landed on the defensive formation, and round formations lit up on the soles of his feet.

In the eyes of outsiders, there is no difference between these circular formations. They are all based on the eight trigrams, outlining criss-crossing lines and twisted mysterious symbols.

But when Yang Qianhuan's diffused circular formation merged into the defensive formation, the protective formation covering Qianlong City shook violently. There seemed to be something wrong with the structure of the large formation. The seventy-six small formations that made up the entire large formation Array, quickly disintegrated.

In the field of formations, this kind of solidified formation is the easiest to crack, because its structure is fixed, and it's just to find the weak point and crack it directly.

This has nothing to do with the level of the formation builder, the fire formation is the fire formation, the water formation is the water formation, even a high-grade Warlock cannot turn the fire formation into a water formation.

At most, the structure is a little more complicated.

For any formation, there is a corresponding way to break the formation.

Just as Xu Pingfeng was able to break the formations left behind by the prison, Yang Qianhuan was able to break the formations he set up.

Chen Ying, who was standing side by side with Nangong Qianrou, breathed a sigh of relief. Without Yang Qianhuan, this guardian formation alone would have caused them a headache.

Wei Gong's lightning tactics may not be effective.

Chen Ying immediately felt that his thinking was wrong, there would be no surprises in the blitzkrieg, and Yang Qianhuan was the one who requested to accompany the army to raid Yunzhou by name.

It shows that Wei Gong has expected the existence of a large defensive formation.

"Hey, if Duke Wei had been revived earlier, Qingzhou would not have fallen." Chen Ying muttered.

While speaking, the defensive array below shattered.

Drums were beating loudly in Qianlong City, and the defenders staying here quickly restored order after a short period of panic, and gathered in the city with the sound of drums as a warning.

The soldiers at the top of the city adjusted their cannons to face the sky.

"A group of turtles in a urn!"

Chen Ying sneered, and was about to give the order to land when she suddenly saw a figure in white clothes appearing outside Yufengzhou.

The man in white was wearing an iron armor mask, and looked at them silently with a face without facial features. He stretched out his palm and pushed it away violently!

The circle spread instantly and hit Yufengzhou.

In the circular formation, the earth, wind, water and fire lit up one by one, exuding a terrifying aura.

Chen Ying, Nangong Qianrou and other fourth-rank warriors received a crisis warning at the same time, their expressions changed slightly, and their hearts sank.

It's not that the attack power of the formation can threaten them, but that the Yufengzhou under their feet cannot withstand this level of attack.

Once the Yufeng boat is destroyed, the soldiers on board will fall to their deaths.

At this time, the flaws of warriors were revealed. They were not afraid of the lethality of the formation, but they had no way to break the formation with a single method, let alone cast spells to protect Yufengzhou.

At the critical moment, the man who picked the stars every day came.

Yang Qianhuan appeared on the side of the ship, stretched out his palm, gently pressed against the circular formation, and was pushed towards the large formation of Yufengzhou, where it collapsed silently.

The teleportation array under Yang Qianhuan's feet lit up, and he was in front of the puppet in white in an instant. Then, he stretched out his palm and grabbed the puppet's head.

The puppet tried to teleport to avoid it, but after Yang Qianhuan grabbed his face with his palm, all the formations were invalid.

"Xu Pingfeng?"

Under the hood, came Yang Qianhuan's deep voice:

"I heard that you sealed the old prisoner, you did a good job."

A fire formation condensed in the palm, and the flames gushed out, forming a tongue of flame that was more than ten meters long.

When the flames were extinguished, the metal puppet in his hand was burnt red, and the head was melted into bright molten iron.

This puppet is only at the fourth stage, and the formations that can be used are the formations engraved by Xu Pingfeng at the beginning of refining, the number and power of which are not large.

And Yang Qianhuan is a senior warlock who can attack third-rank celestial masters, and there is still rank suppression in the same system.

Nangong Qianrou immediately gave the order to land, and the four thousand soldiers on board were ready to go. The cavalry also had the upper hand in the fierce battle in the city. As for the street fighting, the most important thing was to abandon their horses.

Without their horses, they are still invulnerable heavy armored infantry.

On the top of the mountain, in a tall courtyard full of attic pavilions, a middle-aged man in purple climbed to the attic, and under the protection of the shadow guards, looked at the giant ship slowly descending in the sky.

"Immediately send a message to the surrounding villages to return to Qianlong City."

The middle-aged man in purple said solemnly.

He wasn't too panicked. Yesterday, the front line came back with good news that the Yunzhou army took down Yongzhou City without bloodshed and completely occupied Yongzhou.

The army will be able to push to the capital in no time, and fight against Dafeng to end the battle.

Although Qianlong City is currently being invaded by enemy troops, it may also be Dafeng's last dying struggle.

In the past year, Dafeng first experienced the Battle of Jingshan City during the autumn harvest. One hundred thousand elite soldiers died in the north.

To this day, how many strong soldiers and fierce generals are there in Dafeng?

There are still 5,000 elite soldiers in Qianlong City, plus those in the surrounding villages, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in total.

Enough to defend against the enemy.

"Ma'am, ma'am"

In the quiet small courtyard, a maid hurriedly rushed in and pushed open the door of the quiet room.

There is only one beautiful woman who meditates in the room, with a graceful demeanor, fair skin and beautiful appearance.

"Madam, follow me to the basement to hide, the enemy is coming in."

The servant girl cried out in panic.

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, and then her expression was complicated, she couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow.

She has lived in a deep boudoir for a long time, and was forbidden to go out here. She can only pass and receive news through the maids around her, and she has some understanding of the war in the Central Plains.

After the news came back yesterday, Qianlong City was boiling up and down, from the top to the common people, drinking happily, looking forward to leaving Qianlong City and entering the capital.

The Lord of Qianlong City once promised the people in the city that after winning the world in the future, all the people in Qianlong City can migrate to the capital and become noble people at the foot of the emperor.

"Do you know who the leader is?" the beautiful woman asked anxiously:

"Is it Xu Qi'an!"

The servant girl looks anxious:

"Where does the servant know? Hurry up and hide, or those soldiers who rush in will kill you, regardless of your identity."

As she spoke, she dragged her master and hurried towards the basement.

The various cottages outside Qianlong City are now caught in a fierce battle.

Crowds of heavily armored infantry climbed up against arrows and firecrackers. Projectiles and arrows hit them, shooting out sparks. They were powerless to deal with this group of armored soldiers who were almost flawless after wearing face armor.

After Yang Qianhuan observed the location of Qianlong City, he drew a simple map based on the feedback from the Qi Watching Technique, marking the location of Qianlong City and the surrounding villages.

Nangong Qianrou and several generals gathered together and divided the heavy cavalry into two groups, quietly deployed all the way around the periphery, and then hid in ambush. After the war broke out, they immediately captured the villages around Qianlong City.

On the other hand, he went out with Yufengzhou all the way and airborne directly to Qianlong City.

This is also because of the limited load of the Yufengzhou, it is impossible to put a heavy cavalry with a man and a horse into Qianlong City. In fact, even the vanguard army that was airborne got two loads.

north.

The robbery cloud formed a magnificent fire cloud, the fire spirit in the air condensed at a frightening speed, the temperature quickly warmed up, entered the scorching midsummer, and continued to climb, turning this world into a huge melting pot.

The most violent and terrifying thunder and fire calamity is coming.

Chichi The accumulated water on the ground quickly evaporated. One moment it was still covered with mud, and the next moment it dried up and cracked.

Bai Di squinted his eyes and stepped back a short distance, the high temperature made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The water spirit in the air was almost dispelled, and its water spirit spell could not be used in such an environment. Fortunately, it could also control thunder and lightning.

Between the horns, a thunderball that collapsed inward took shape, ready to go.

Luo Yuheng raised her head, the red clouds were reflected in her black pearl-like pupils, and a trace of regret and sadness flashed in her eyes.

The Daoist leader of the previous generation, her father, died in the final thunder and fire calamity.

Among the four-phase calamities, the thunder-fire calamity is the most domineering and terrifying. It is not like the golden core calamity, which has ninety-nine and eighty-one ways, nor is it like the other three calamities in the four-phase calamity, which are weak at first and then strong, and intensified layer by layer.

It has only one.

If you survive it, you will be a land god. If you can't survive it, your whole body will be exhausted, and your soul will be scattered.

"It hurts me to death."

The charcoal dust on Xu Qi'an's body surface peeled off, revealing the tender white skin.

Baidi's waterspout and lightning strike almost caused him to die on the spot, and he flew up on the spot.

Fortunately, Wufu's endurance is not covered, the dead cells are replaced by new cells, and the injury recovers quickly, so there is no problem.

It's just that this kind of repair consumes his physical strength and energy, so his breath is weakened.

Nearly one-third of the spiritual resources collected by the flower arrangements are still hidden in the body, and they have not been fully activated.

His strength has reached the peak of the second rank, and the threshold of the first rank is further ahead, which is obviously not something that the spirit of the flower god can do.

Xu Qi'an wiped the ashes in his hand on Luo Yuheng's feather coat, then held her little hands, and said with a smile:

"Don't be afraid, after passing through the calamity, we will be the couple of gods and immortals in the happy world."

Feeling the warmth from his palms and seeing his bright smile, Luo Yuheng didn't pursue him for soiling his robe, and said softly:

"What if it fails?"

She had some shadows about Lei Huo Jie, seeing her father turn into ashes in the fire.

"Then be a Taoist companion in the next life." Xu Qi'an said with a smile.

If one dies and one is injured, then he will be an undead knight... At a critical moment, his mentality is very stable.

The four eyes are facing each other.

Luo Yuheng's flawless beauty was no longer aloof, but more tender.

Just at this time, in the layer upon layer of calamity clouds, a thick pillar of fire from a water tank soared to the sky,

It was so powerful that it distorted the surrounding air, and the heat waves it set off ignited the clothes and manes of the superpowers present one after another.

It instantly engulfed Luo Yuheng and Xu Qian, the "idiot man and woman", turning the ground under their feet into roiling lava.

Right now, from between the horns of Baidi, the thunder ball that was ready to go suddenly shot out.

The lightning flashed, and the bright thunderball shot away, leaving arcs of electricity along the way.

boom!

The thunder ball dispersed the pillar of fire, and tongues of flame shot in all directions. In the gap between the pillars of fire being dispersed, Baidi did not see Xu Qi'an and Luo Yuheng, they disappeared.

The next moment, the pillar of fire returned to its original shape, scorching the earth.

At that time, a high-pitched dragon chant came from the sky, and the superpowers present looked up, and vaguely saw a huge golden dragon flying straight up against the sky fire in the pillar of fire.

on top?

What does he want to do?

Baidi and Jia Luoshu frowned, and the latter stopped, for the time being, spared Asuro, who was beaten by his mother, who didn't know him.

In the flames, Xu Qi'an hugged Luo Yuheng and rushed higher and higher against the pillar of fire.

Luo Yuheng is already a body that will last forever, and her physical body is well preserved in the pillar of fire. This does not mean that she is safe and sound. In fact, she is enduring unspeakable pain, and her four phases and physical body are on the verge of collapse.

Once it can't bear it, it will turn into ashes.

It's so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable. Luo Yuheng's fair skin is getting paler, no, it's not pale, but transparent. Her whole body is like a statue made of colored glass.

If this continues, she will completely burn out her vitality, and then be wiped out, just like her father.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Xu Qi'an whispered in his ear.

Luo Yuheng's heart suddenly stabilized, like a flat boat in a violent ocean, entering a sheltered harbor.

She looked sideways and saw a scorched human figure.

Xu Qi'an's skin was charred quickly, and the outer layer of ashes peeled off, revealing the tender flesh with blood in it. The tender flesh was carbonized again, turned into ashes and peeled off again. After repeated several times, Luo Yuheng saw his red-hot skull.

The next step was to burn the primordial spirit. She was about to prop up the dharma form and resist the calamity fire for him, when she suddenly felt a strong vitality rising from his body.

This huge and pure vitality is like a clear spring, pouring into the exhausted bodies of Luo Yuheng and Xu Qi'an.

Xu Qi'an closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on polishing his body, blood and spirit.

His flesh and blood were continuously burned and regenerated. During this process, his spirit, energy, and spirit were tempered over and over again, and quickly merged. In just a dozen breaths, he completed what others had to walk for decades.

In this catastrophe battle, there are nine deaths and one life, no, ten deaths and no life, Yunzhou Chaofan thinks so, and Dafeng Chaofan thinks the same way, and it turns out that it is true.

If there is no backup, Leihuo Tribulation is the end of Xu Qi'an's life, if Luo Yuheng doesn't bring him into the scope of the Heavenly Tribulation, Xu Qi'an has already died in Baidi's hands at this moment.

And Luo Yuheng didn't have the chance to consolidate his cultivation. After passing through the Jindan Tribulation, he had to help Xu Qi'an defend against the enemy, and then wait for the next round of Heavenly Tribulation to come, because his mana was exhausted and he failed the Dadu Tribulation.

Either ignore the life and death of Xu Qi'an and others, and hide to consolidate their cultivation. The price is that Xu Qi'an and others will fall and destroy the country.

Luo Yuheng himself, on the contrary, might survive.

Luo Yuheng chose the former, but the former is still a dead end.

So live to die.

But how?

The idea proposed by Xu Qi'an is to use the crossing tribulation to advance to the first rank.

It was he who was promoted to the first rank.

When Asuro, Jin Lian and Zhao Shou heard his proposal, they almost thought that this kid had lost his mind.

It's only been half a month after being promoted to the second rank, but you want to step into the ranks of first rank martial arts?

You are disrespecting your practice, disrespecting the superpowers in the world, and disrespecting Kou Yangzhou.

But Xu Qi'an's next words convinced them to make a desperate decision to take the risk with Xu Qi'an.

The inspiration for Xu Qi'an's determination to be promoted to the first rank came from Luo Yuheng's detailed description of the Heavenly Tribulation that night when the Chaofans discussed it. When she mentioned the Thunder Fire Tribulation, Xu Qi'an had a bold idea in his heart.

Before the Tribulation Battle, he went to Southern Border to ask Shenshu how to advance to the first rank, and got the answer from him.

Normally speaking, it is a long process to use the body as a furnace to temper the three elements into one, to achieve a first-class physique. This road must be full of dangers and limited by talents, not all first-rank martial arts can become half-step martial gods.

As a person with national destiny, Xu Qi'an definitely has no shortage of talent, but what he lacks is time.

Whether it's upgrading from the early stage of the second rank to the peak of the second rank, or refining the spirit, it will take time.

But for his hard work in flower arrangement, he was gifted by the flower god, possessed spiritual resources, and comprehended the "Tao" that gets stronger as he fights, which can just make up for his lack of cultivation.

Although the peak of the second rank is not normal, sooner or later it will fall back to the normal state.

He intends to seize this short-lived state, use thunder and fire to temper his body, integrate the spirit, energy and spirit, and successfully rank up to the first rank.

Such an operation is tantamount to completing the slow tempering process in one step, basically tantamount to suicide.

At this time, the benefits of working hard to arrange flowers appeared again. As long as he saves the consumption of his spiritual energy and keeps a part of it in his body, the flower god's spiritual energy will be his greatest reliance when the thunder fire quenches his body.

This is the soul of the undead tree.

In addition, he still has dragon energy, all the dragon energy obtained from traveling in the rivers and lakes.

The dragon energy enters the body, and the fortune is deep!

Coupled with the half of the National Games that already existed, Xu Qi'an felt that he could take a gamble!

The reason why the three of Asuro agreed was because they thought they could take a gamble.

During the repeated burns of Lei Huo, a real golden dragon rushed into Xu Qi'an's body. He gradually carbonized, and his powerless body rejuvenated with vitality, and continued to endure the tempering of Lei Huo.

Luo Yuheng held Xu Qi'an's hand tightly, even in the most painful moment, he never let go.

After more than ten breaths, the terrifying thunder fire began to weaken, and the thick pillar of fire in the water tank slowly shrank, becoming the size of a bowl, then becoming the size of a fist and chopsticks, and finally dissipated completely.

High in the sky, Luo Yuheng was wearing a feather coat condensed with spells, his hair and robe fluttered, and he was holding a coke-like human figure without any life fluctuations.

"I've been promoted to land immortal." She whispered to herself.

Click! The coke cracked and peeled off one after another, and a body as white as jade appeared in front of everyone.

Xu Qi'an looked down at the Jialuo tree, Xu Pingfeng's puppet and Baidi below, the corners of his mouth twitched, his eyes were cold:

"I have entered the first grade!"
