The Collection of The End

——AD 178——

"You...are actually willing to risk your life to protect that foolish king?"

After dozens of rounds of fighting, Zhang Jiao still couldn't take down Tong Yuan. After another "magic" failed, he frowned and asked.

At this time, Zhang Jiao is no longer the person he was twenty years ago who had no cultivation and could only rely on luck and desperate determination to fight against warriors. Perhaps his level of immortality is still not the opponent of the veteran "immortals" Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, but for Ordinary "unparalleled generals" who have not yet taken "that step" can be completely suppressed, such as making them confused, confused, or even obeying your orders.

However, Tong Yuan relied on the phantom of the phoenix that appeared around him to eliminate Zhang Jue's spells that hit him. From Zhang Jue's current perspective, it can be seen that he is completely burning his life force to fight. After such a long time After the fight, his originally strong vitality had already turned as gray as burnt charcoal.

At this time, the flames ignited by the phoenix shadow became more and more intense, making Tong Yuan's movements more powerful and faster. If he opened his angle a little, the dragon-like spear would go straight to his face, throat, and... In order to deal with such attacks, Zhang Jiao had to phantom himself and continue to cast restriction and control spells.

If this continues, there is no need for Zhang Jiao to really defeat him, just turn around and leave, and this "magic gun" will die directly because there is no enemy to inspire the shadow of the phoenix, or in other words, it will burn up, and even his body will turn into Ashes, that’s why I ask.

"Haha, what I want to protect is not the money-grubbing emperor, but the thousands of Han people." Tong Yuan didn't care about the words "risking his life": "He can be the eunuch or his relatives. Even if you die after taking the wrong elixir, you will never die at the hands of someone who has understood the 'unparalleled'. With the wisdom of a great sage, you should know what the consequences will be."

What else could the consequences be? It is simply that the successor emperor is afraid that someone will do this again, which will greatly strengthen the restrictions and control on "unparalleled" people. As a result, many conflicts will arise, and in the end only ordinary people will be unlucky.

"Ha, since we are on the same level, if you have any last words, you can say them as soon as possible." Zhang Jiao did not pick up Tong Yuan's words and changed the subject.

Of course, they are at the same level. Only if they are equal in realm, can Tong Yuan be able to resist the spells of his "immortal". However, there is no clear title for those who enter the Tao through martial arts. "Sword Master" and "Magic Spear" are just A stopgap measure.

Over there, Tong Yuan burned his life away, but Zhang Jiao was not much better here. "Introduction of Qi into the body, body and Qi combined", in a sense, he was also burning himself when he used spells, and, He had used so many spells on this "magic gun" just after he was promoted. If he didn't rest for a few months after this battle, he might not be able to use any spells at all - but this was a little tolerant of Tong Yuan's wishes.

"When I look at Taiping Dao's actions, I have absolutely no intention of doing evil or disturbing the world," Tong Yuan said directly, "No matter what the great master wants to do in the future, please be sure to 'never forget your original intention.'"

The original intention of establishing Taiping Dao is... "to propagate enlightenment on behalf of heaven and save the world."

Speaking of which, Zhang Jiao thought belatedly that the "Southern China Fairy" must have known about the situation like this. Then, how would she separate? She obviously didn't want to continue the fight, but she had to because whoever retreated first would die. Are you and Tong Yuan continuing to fight?

Sizzling——

When Zhang Jiao and Tong Yuan attacked each other again, they heard a sound like subtle thunder and lightning coming from above their heads.

Before the two of them could react, a Fangtian Painted Halberd made entirely of red lightning and as huge as a city wall appeared out of thin air and struck down hard without stopping.

That seems to be the weapon used by "Lu Bu" that I saw a long time ago? Has he grown from a simple man of great strength to such a level of unparalleled warrior?

Even if the "thunder halberd" struck in the air caused his hair to stand on end,

Zhang Jiao still stood there thinking, and even when Tong Yuan withdrew his gun and jumped, and fled the affected area in a slightly embarrassed manner, he deliberately adjusted the grip of the Nanxian Staff to look confident.

boom!

Thunder and lightning hit the ground with a huge roar, and white light overflowed. Everyone present could not see it, but Zhang Jue felt nothing. No, to be precise, he felt that he was being guided to sit down by some soft thunder and lightning.

The lightning dissipated the next moment, and Zhang Jiao found himself sitting on a bamboo chair in a not very gorgeous, even simple brick house. Tong Yuan, who had just escaped, had a look on his face. Standing in confusion in the courtyard of this tile-roofed house.

When looking out of the courtyard, the original clearing in the forest has turned into a small village in the forest, just like the wonderful mountain village in the Julu Mountain forest. However, no one lives in it, even with Zhang Jiao. With today's eyes, I didn't realize how the empty land had changed before.

However, compared to those insignificant things, that person also appeared suddenly in the middle of the tile-roofed house, with long silver hair, wearing black clothes, wearing a snow-white hood and cloak, holding a cane like a peach branch, and with unknown pink colors all over his body. The girl with falling petals firmly attracted Zhang Jiao's attention.

In the past twenty years, although he had had intermittent contact and had heard about her activities and deeds, it was not until "Merlin Fairy Lin Hao" appeared in front of him with the same appearance as before that Zhang Jiao became aware of "her." "He is an immortal" has an intuitive impression.

Recently, I heard that many people who have been helped by her call her "Bodhisattva". Although it is ridiculous, it probably tells the truth to a certain extent. As long as "sweeping the floor and cherishing the lives of ants, cherishing moths and covering lamps" should be changed to Her attitude towards mortals is almost the same.

"[Hey...it's really a 'Noble Phantasm against the City' in the literal sense...]" Lin Hao seemed to mutter something quietly, and then turned to look at Zhang Jiao and Tong Yuan, his attitude was just as cordial as Zhang Jiao remembered. , Wen Wen: "[Intruding into other people's caves at will and wreaking havoc. Such extremely rude behavior. Even if the owner kills him, there is no way to defend it. The two 'immortals' don't know this, right?]"

The Immortal Family is really a good name. If it were placed among the hundreds of schools of thought, no one would dare to be ranked in front of it.

Zhang Jiao glanced at Tong Yuan, who was facing a formidable enemy, and secretly decided not to explain to him. He probably couldn't change his mentality of thinking that when he saw an extremely powerful person, he might be disadvantageous to him.

When he was still a mortal, he looked up to Lin Hao, but now that he has become a "fairy", he still looks up to her. Judging from Tong Yuan's performance, although he has been famous for many years, he is probably not as good as his predecessor. Click.

Therefore, if you want to know how strong this "fairy" is, the test is not your own strength, but how high your vision is. If you want to describe what kind of existence she is, the test is not your understanding, but your vocabulary. quantity.

"[Tong Yuan, right?]" After "Shenqiang" entered the tile-roofed house and took a seat and reported his name, Lin Hao asked him: "[Do you know that not only have you exhausted your lifespan, but also I owe 350 million yuan... Well, I also owe an additional life span of three lives and three lifetimes. I want to 'extinguish the light after death', but I can't.]"

"Then, what will I... do?" Tong Yuan himself has no fear of death, because his determination to die was already determined when he intercepted Zhang Jiao, but his excessive consumption affected the "innocent" afterlife. He couldn't accept it.

"[Probably, in every reincarnation, you will learn the 'Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear' by various chances and coincidences, and use it in some emergency situation when you are young or in your prime, and then die young. , admired by future generations.]" Lin Hao replied thoughtfully: "[You will not re-enter reincarnation until the overdraft years are made up.]"

"This..." Tong Yuan was speechless for a moment, after all, this was completely beyond his understanding.

Zhang Jiao, who had nothing to do with himself, secretly wrote down: Lin Hao has the ability to detect and influence "the underworld and reincarnation". As for the extent to which he can influence it, it is currently unknown.

Oops, did I secretly think "it's none of my business" just now?

"[And you,]" Lin Hao turned around almost at the same time: "[It took twenty years to be promoted to 'Sanxian'. You don't want to consolidate your realm, but you plan to assassinate the emperor?"

Oh, "Loose Immortal", is this the title given to an immortal who has just stepped into the extraordinary realm and mainly uses spells?

"In order to prevent the people of Taiping Dao from being oppressed, Pindao has no choice but to do this." Zhang Jiao said seriously; "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go."

"..." Lin Hao's shoulders seemed to have slumped a little, but he didn't seem to say: "[Not to mention that your chance of success is very slim. Even if you successfully assassinate the emperor, you will not be able to escape the pursuit of the 'Sword Master'. Taiping The Tao will also flow like a river of blood. Although 70% of this cause and effect will be attributed to me, only the remaining 30% is enough for you to be with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva forever.】"

"Fu Shui and pills..." Zhang Jiao stopped mid-sentence. If the Sword Master and Shi Chang Shi took action, how could they let the seriously injured escape? And just as I had thought, the imperial court would definitely suppress the first person or organization to do such a thing until death.

"[You will stay here for the time being and recuperate. If Mr. Tong doesn't go out, you don't have to worry about lifespan.]," Lin Hao slightly raised the staff in his hand, and the surroundings of the village and the sky were covered with an almost completely transparent layer. of enchantment.

There seems to be no measures taken against oneself at all? Zhang Jiao thought for a moment and then laughed to himself. When he was still a mortal, it might not have been easy to monitor him, but now he has become a "celestial being". It would be as obvious as a torch in the night. Moreover, as a gift to himself, he had three volumes of heavenly books. , and the "Southern China Fairy" who had a lot of concern for Taiping Dao didn't even need a reason to issue orders to him.

"This fairy sister~" The child brought by Tong Yuan seemed to finally understand why Tong Yuan had "no extra life", and ran to Lin Hao with his wooden gun in his arms: " I know how to use the 'Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear', can you share my lifespan with Master?"

Zhang Jiao was surprised to see a smile on Lin Hao's face, like an iceberg melting or a glacier thawing: "[Yes, yes, but I will give half of Xiaoyun's lifespan to your master."

"I'm not afraid!" The child responded in a clear voice.

"[This is not a question of whether you are afraid or not. You have to know that your lifespan is only... one hundred and forty years?]"
