Chapter 1147

Moonlight was bright, human shadows were uneven.

Occasionally there was wind, pushing and lifting waves, like when a white silver carp jumped to a high place, glowing with a cool light.

Soldiers stripped naked, bit an air insect in their mouths, jumped into the water, and dived to the bottom.

One red and one black, two human shadows stopped on the rock, watching the soldiers' movements quietly.

Except for people.

Sa, sa, sa...

The forest was light and dark, and a low, continuous gnawing sound rang out in the shadows, fire-red giant ant colonies climbed the cliff, opened and closed their mouthparts, gnawing on rock blocks, turning into a red tide.

Amidst the noise, a giant red ant the size of a finger opened its wings, separated from the red tide, flew onto his index finger, and secreted pheromones.

Zang Yunzhou leaned his nose over and sniffed.

"What did you smell?"

"All of them."

"All of them?"

Ren Ye frowned.

"Whoosh."

Zang Yunzhou put away the red ant with his backhand and looked at the soldiers: "How is the situation?"

"Reporting to the General," the soldier was dripping with water, knelt on one knee, and reported the exploration results, "The total length of the cracks here is thirteen miles! The depth is immeasurable, reaching straight to the rock layer, all are cracks, water gushing out, uneven, and there are seven deep pits distributed, filled with accumulated water, in all directions!"

Ren Ye turned his head.

Zang Yunzhou didn't answer immediately, he stood up, took a deep breath, thought for a moment, pointed his finger at the sky, the giant red ant crawled out of his red sleeve again, flew over his fingertips, and vibrated its transparent wings.

"The visitor can fly, he descended from the sky, split the thirteen-mile canyon with one slash, almost in an instant, wiped out three people of the third realm, three of the second realm, four of the first realm, seven Hunting Tigers, and several Wolf Smokes, including the Heaven-Man Curse Evil Yi Zhi, causing flesh and blood to merge into the earth, indistinguishable from each other.

The black cicada warned in advance, the Corpse Evil reacted quickly, luckily dodging the first wave of attacks, but didn't dodge the second wave, when he fled with the other six Perfected Forms, the opponent used water-type supernatural powers, suspected of having the ability to track enemies, almost at the same time, wiped them all out."

Paused.

Flicked the red ant away with his fingertip, Zang Yunzhou touched the undried water stains on the leaves on his head.

"It was raining in the sky at that time, this place is one hundred and sixty miles away from the Red River, not far, the water vapor was not thick today, the temperature change was not big, there shouldn't have been rain, wind and rain accompanying... it should be like my Red Tide Gu, a means of digging for information."

Silence.

Leaves rustled.

The kneeling soldier heard this, swallowed his saliva, and cold sweat broke out on his back unconsciously.

Curse Evil, Corpse Evil, the dignified twenty-four evil spirits, the peak of Southern Frontier Perfected Forms, both died overnight, even falling extremely quickly, too fast to wait for the support of the Five Gu and Nine Poisons.

Corpse Evil Ren Ze, that is the own son of Black Water Poison Ren Ye!

Actually died like this?

Died in the forest, died quietly... the soldier really couldn't imagine, in his cognition, there is no Jiang Zongshi more powerful than Gu, Poison, and Evil.

Who is it?

For a long time.

Ren Ye sighed for a long time.

"Terrifying Qi volume."

"Yes, terrifying Qi volume."

Zang Yunzhou squinted.

Two moves in total, sixteen Perfected Forms all wiped out, including three Heaven-Men.

Even a child knows that killing an ant is simple, just press your finger down, killing a group of ants requires stepping on them with your feet, grinding them with your palms, if you grind lightly, you will leave many survivors.

To wipe them all out at once, the output must have a large surplus, using twelve points of strength, thinking about it this way, the situation is extremely terrifying, the opponent actually used it!

It makes one suspect whether it was a self-slaying Wu Sheng who made the move.

All these things point to a very terrible fact.

Zang Yunzhou lowered his head, his facial features hidden in the shadows.

"I suspect there are two people, or even three people, but the possibility of two people is higher, the water-type supernatural power that tracks enemies, and the one who caused blood rain on the other side of Ha Long Bay in the evening should be the same person, the opponent's Qi volume recovers extremely quickly, it should be Great Shun's support that has arrived."

"No, it's one person." Ren Ye shook his head and denied.

"Hmm?"

"Ren Ze, as a Perfected Form, didn't feel the danger in advance, but relied on the black cicada to warn, the opponent is at least Heaven-Man Six Heyi, only then is it possible to reduce his own 'ripples' and do this.

Wind and rain accompanying, can fly, slashing techniques, water-type moves, Heaven-Man Six Heyi Perfected Form, astonishing Qi volume... these characteristics are indeed very different, difficult to concentrate on one body, but in fact, in the world, there is indeed such a person, all of which can be matched, and he is in Great Shun!"

Zang Yunzhou's heart tightened.

His gaze passed through the canyon gaps, all the way up, seeing the crescent moon in the sky without obstruction.

He knew who Ren Ye was talking about.

"Is it really one person..."

"Great Shun has come with a formidable person, the blood rain in Ha Long Bay was the declaration of his arrival, it's just a pity that we didn't see it." Ren Ye turned his head to look at the kneeling soldier, "You heard all the conversation between the two of us? Ride fast, go back and report to the Tusi, state the situation and battle damage here, shrink the battle line, above Perfected Form, whenever you go out, always carry Blood Hidden Gu, always be on guard, don't let anyone catch your tracks again!"

"Yes!" The soldier recorded them one by one, only one thing was unclear, "Two Generals, still don't know... who are we guarding against?"

Ren Ye looked into the distance with his hands behind his back.

"Great Shun's First Marquis, Liang Qu!"

Crimson wind flowed, chasing in the long sky, leaving rainbow light, like a touch of sunset remaining in the sky.

The sun hung high above his head, the scorching sun was hot.

Ling Xuan lowered his body, stuck to the horse's back, his beard was scruffy, he traveled south all the way from the Imperial Capital, gradually stripping off the thick velvet clothes on his body, and changed into breathable and comfortable thin silk clothes.

One south and one north, one summer and one winter, it's like two worlds.

"Almost there."

A corner of the map fluttered.

Ling Xuan put away the map and looked at the ground.

The common people were crowded in front of the porridge shed, pushing and noisy, some were shirtless, revealing their ribs, obviously without external injuries, but they attracted dense flies, they were black, with white spots on their heads, squeezed together, falling on their pupils without moving.

Flies are the insects most easily aware of death.

Lower.

Children's crying, officials' shouting, women's spitting, men's fists and kicks, tiles falling and shattering... all the sounds mixed together, no need to look at the map to know that he had arrived at South Sea Commandery.

This is the current situation in the south.

The Southern Frontier pushed the battle line from the Lucang River to the Red River, more than a thousand miles, causing a large number of common people to migrate north and east, once migrated, leaving their homeland, naturally losing the land they rely on for survival.

Population, population.

People have a mouth, they have to eat every day, these needs are all piled up in South Sea Commandery.

Along the way, Ling Xuan saw neighboring prefectures constantly raising food and grass, sending them to the south.

Scanned a few times, judged the direction, Ling Xuan silently withdrew his gaze, he is not a person who likes to pity the world, let alone a person who likes to waste extra emotions, that would only affect his judgment, he believes that people just need to do their own duty, it's just a pity that too many people in this world can't even do their duty.

"Many mountains and many waters..."

The azure mountain range extended to the distance, the white water line was bright and clear, that is a tributary of the Lucang River.

Sleepless, not eating or drinking, day and night without stopping.

Even fed Chishan a lot of elixirs, for six days and seven nights.

Didn't go to the South Sea Prince's Mansion.

At such a critical juncture, going to "question" the South Sea Prince about the fall of Qinzhou would only increase distrust between each other, opening his mouth rashly, it is very likely to be fatal to the current situation.

No matter the reason, no matter the process, in the end, whether it is handled lightly or settled afterwards, he must start from the details and figure out the truth.

Go to the front line first!

Qinzhou Grandmasters must know.

"Chishan, to the left..."

"Good news, good news! The imperial court's support has arrived, the front line has won a great victory over the Southern Frontier, beheading thirty-five Grandmasters, Marquis Baron Xingyi is unparalleled in the world, beheading fifteen alone, capturing one alive, Corpse Evil fell, Curse Evil captured! Corpse Evil fell, Curse Evil captured!"

"Good news, good news! The imperial court's support has arrived, the front line has won a great victory over the Southern Frontier, beheading thirty-five Grandmasters..."

"Hmm? Stop for a moment!"

Chishan stood in the air, breathing violently.

Ling Xuan stroked the horse's neck and looked into the distance.

The scorching sun was burning, a black horse cast a silhouette, crossed the bright white river, "flew" into the city, waving the good news, wherever it went, there were cheers, and the human voices were boiling.

So fast?

Hearing Marquis Baron Xingyi's name and the good news, Ling Xuan was not without surprise, the time for Chishan to go back and forth was limited, almost no gap, a rough calculation, Liang Qu just arrived in the Southern Frontier and made such a contribution?

Thirty-six Perfected Forms, how many did the entire Lucang River front line gather?

An astonishing ratio, perhaps approaching one-tenth!

Efficient, precise, powerful, like a steel needle.

Strange.

This scene is familiar.

"Go see him on the way."

No need to work together, endure the torment caused by the other party's delay, Ling Xuan thinks Liang Qu is quite good.

If the Southern Frontier war can end early, it is a good thing.

"Go!"

Ha Long Bay front line, the south bank is depressed, the north bank is celebrating.

White Ape died suddenly, the world is in chaos.

Xu Haitao and other front-line Grandmasters suffered for half a year, resisting the Southern Frontier pressure on one side, bearing the imperial court pressure on the other, once counterattacked, suddenly like a spring breeze coming overnight.

Originally planned to attack one or two strongholds, behead half of the enemy, estimated results were no more than eleven, twelve, thirteen, who would have thought that Liang Qu and his wife would appear out of nowhere, and the results would directly expand to an astonishing thirty-six!

Long Eying, Long Binglin, Long Yanrui replaced Liang Qu's original position, at the same time Liang Qu broke away, crashing like a monster, tearing a shocking crack in the stalemate.

If the war hadn't stopped, Xu Haitao would have wanted to fire cannons to celebrate in advance.

Although it is not very clear how Liang Qu managed to finish the fight without knowing who the other party was, it doesn't matter, the heads are here.

A sneak attack directly pulled back the advantage that the Southern Frontier had fought for.

The first move was to attack the heart, the second move was the fact of the results, morale was greatly boosted!

"Third Prince, quickly taste our South Sea specialty grouper."

"Umm, delicious, delicious, delicious!" The Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong's cheeks were bulging, swallowing and chewing in large mouthfuls, vaguely, "Two more! I want spicy flavor! Heavy, heavy, heavy spicy!"

"Third Prince, Third Prince, tell us after you've eaten, how did Marquis Baron Xingyi do it? My son is so curious."

"Yes, yes."

The soldiers put the dishes on the table, surrounded the Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong and talked all at once.

"Hai, there's nothing to tell, my boss is too powerful, things are too simple, it's just a horizontal and a vertical! One spear and one stroke, people died, not even scum was left, smeared all over the ground, just like you having diarrhea."

The soldiers touched their stomachs.

"What about the twenty-four evil spirits? Wasn't there a more exciting exchange process?"

"It's the same! Horizontal and vertical is just one spear down, piercing his gallbladder, picking his brains, otherwise you think you're reading a storybook, fighting for three hundred rounds." The Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong was proud, although it followed Long Eying and didn't see it with its own eyes, it knew its boss's consistent style, "Don't say sixteen Perfected Forms, there are twenty-four evil spirits, even if the Five Gu and Nine Poisons come, all fourteen people come up, it's also one spear down! Chopping melons and vegetables, swish, swish, swish!"

Everyone's eyes shone.

Wei Lin passed by, swept a glance: "Five Gu and Nine Poisons, there are not fourteen."

"Eh, are there not." The Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong raised its tail, raised its four dragon claws, and broke them one by one, "One, two, two, three, right, it's thirteen!"

Soldier: "..."

"Haha." The Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong flicked its tail, four claws on its waist, "Hmph! You must think I, the Third Prince, can't count, actually I did it on purpose, five plus nine is fourteen! Only A-Fei would be so stupid, that firebird actually deceived this master, is it jealous that my boss is more powerful than you!"

Wei Lin's temple veins bulged: "Five Gu, take snake, centipede, scorpion, toad, spider, the strongest person of each of the five types of Gu insects. Nine Poisons, take the nine major tribes, the first Perfected Form of each tribe!"

The Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong thought for a while, suddenly realized: "I understand, the Five Gu and Nine Poisons overlap!"

Wei Lin snorted coldly and turned away.

"Stinky fart! Pfft, pfft, pfft." The Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong stuck out its tongue.

Inside the big tent.

Liang Qu and others surrounded the sand table, discussing the next combat plan.

New here, able to achieve such beautiful results, mainly relying on Xu Haitao's preliminary work, equivalent to providing coordinates for missiles, all three strongholds were destroyed, the rest are not so easy to handle.

At the same time, it also depends on the Southern Frontier's reaction after the matter ferments.

The only pity is that there is a Wu Sheng sitting in Qinzhou, otherwise Liang Qu could have killed his way in directly.

"Yesterday's great victory will inevitably cause the Southern Frontier to be alert, sending out the Five Gu and Nine Poisons, the strength is completely different..."

"General Xu, Five Gu and Nine Poisons, how is the strength compared to the Northern Court Eight Beasts?" A Southern Zhili Jiang Zongshi asked.

Xu Haitao thought for a while: "Southern Frontier Five Gu and Nine Poisons, excluding the likes of Sick Tiger, the overall strength is actually stronger than the Northern Court Eight Beasts."

"Why is this? The overall strength of the Southern Frontier should be inferior to the Northern Court."

"The overall strength of the Southern Frontier is indeed inferior to the Northern Court, but the scope of the two types of titles is different. Northern Court Eight Beasts is a title for those who have military merits in the Northern Court's transfer of good hands to the Shuofang Terrace to fight Great Shun. There are so many people here, Marquis Baron Xingyi has participated in the Northern Court war, should know, when fighting, the Eight Beasts are basically all on the front line."

"It is so." Liang Qu nodded, "Rather than a title, it's better to say it's the eight positions of Shuofang Terrace, Great Shun and Northern Court fight, they must go to the battlefield."

Xu Haitao continued: "Five Gu and Nine Poisons are different, they are the top experts of the entire Southern Frontier, selected from the nine major tribes, if the Northern Court was the same as the Southern Frontier, all selected from the Northern Court's eight tribes, that would be different."

"So that's it, then in this way, Five Gu and Nine Poisons are not all on the front line?"

"Yes, Five Gu and Nine Poisons, a total of eleven people, currently known, six are participating in the war, as for now..." Xu Haitao glanced at Liang Qu, "It will probably be seven."

Liang Qu understood the meaning.

Corpse Evil Ren Ze's father, Black Water Poison Ren Ye!

The son is dead, the father cannot be indifferent, he will inevitably come to intervene.

A top expert suddenly appeared on the opposite side, the people present didn't have much reaction, after experiencing the "don't know who the twenty-four evil spirits are" incident, everyone had a little understanding of Liang Qu's strength.

An immortal descending to the world, not knowing what year it is today.

"Where does the moon shine?"

"Clouds open in the West Ridge!"

The password outside the tent rang.

Hot wind rushed out, sunlight penetrated.

The tent curtain was lifted, the soldier knelt on the ground: "Reporting to the General, scouts report, the Southern Frontier battle line is shrinking! Perfected Forms everywhere are concentrating towards Ha Long Bay."

Everyone's face cleared.

"Good, very good, the feng shui turns." Xu Haitao was overjoyed, "We have shrunk for half a year, today it is finally their turn! Marquis Baron Xingyi is the feng shui wheel."

Shrinking the battle line, concentrated in Ha Long Bay?

Liang Qu captured the keyword, his heart stirred.

"By the way, has the identity of the Perfected Forms killed by Marquis Baron Xingyi been found out? What a big military merit." Xu Haitao laughed endlessly, thought of this halfway, and asked again.

"Part of it." The soldier lowered his head in shame, "Currently, only ten can be clearly identified, the remaining six are still being confirmed, but please rest assured, there will definitely be no less."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Liang Qu waved his hand, "Don't let the scouts go too deep, and lose their lives instead."

Military merit, military merit, empty words have no proof.

He said sixteen, the corpses brought back are not that many, naturally he can't say how many there are, fortunately Perfected Form Grandmasters are not cannon fodder, their strength is there, just like high-ranking officials and dignitaries, if they die, it can be confirmed from the side, it's just a matter of time.

Now Liang Qu is more concerned about other things.

"General Xu, you said last time, there is no Wu Sheng in Ha Long Bay, right?"

"Uh... there is not."
