Chapter 323: Blood Spirit Array

There are many heroes in Shu.

It is said that the Jianghu people of Shu are all people who can give up their lives for righteousness.

This Chen Ming is a famous wandering hero in Shu; in Shu, where there are sword immortals everywhere, his carrying pole appears extremely alternative.

But it is precisely this guy who uses a carrying pole to hit people who has a very good reputation in Shu.

He even earned the domineering nickname "Carrying the Sun and Moon on One Shoulder."

"World Martial Arts Evaluation, four hundred and seventy-first."

Li Rui was shocked in his heart.

Chen Ming is even higher than Jiang Linxian in this World Martial Arts Evaluation; his strength is unquestionable, and the exaggerated scene now is enough to prove it.

Those who can make a name for themselves in Shu not only don't want to die but also have to be able to survive.

Otherwise, if their methods couldn't keep up with their heroic spirit, they would have long been dead.

The small boat under Chen Ming's feet did not move a single bit, and with a shoulder pole propping up the large ship, he managed to lift it five feet high.

It was simply violating the laws of heaven and earth.

"Give him a fulcrum, and he can lift the whole earth?"

Li Rui remembered the words of a certain great power from his previous life.

The reason Chen Ming could do it was by relying on incomparably thick true qi; he wrapped the small boat under his feet with true qi, which was how he could keep the small boat from sinking.

In such a situation, he could still let his imagination run wild.

Naturally, it was because he had a count in his heart.

Chen Ming dared to report his name, which instead proved that nothing would happen today; if he really came to kill, he should have been wearing night clothes, sneaking onto the ship, and taking action directly, rather than the current scene.

Soon.

He Qiannian and Nie Siming both appeared on the deck.

They heard He Qiannian snort coldly.

"Drop!"

The huge ship body fell with a boom, returning to the river surface, the ship body swaying left and right.

Looking at the river surface again, where was there any "Carrying the Sun and Moon on One Shoulder"? That Chen Ming had long since drifted away.

Leaving only a ship full of people looking at each other in dismay.

Just this?

The momentum was so great, but in the end, he lifted a ship and left; it was somewhat anticlimactic.

At this time.

The Wu Kingdom Third Princess, wearing a veil, surrounded by several Wu Kingdom maids, walked onto the deck: "Everyone, no need to panic, that Chen Ming came for me."

Nie Siming frowned slightly:

"Third Princess, what do you mean by this?"

Xia Yun said slowly: "That Chen Ming has a good friend who was once a swordsman in my Wu Kingdom. I was the employer, and he died while performing one of my tasks. I heard that Chen Ming traveled ten thousand miles to behead that enemy. Coming here today, it should be to vent his anger for his friend."

Nie Siming was silent.

If this matter were placed elsewhere, it would be considered a sick brain.

But if placed in Shu, it became very reasonable and nothing could be more normal.

After all, Shu has produced quite a few ruthless people who traveled ten thousand miles and exhausted their lives just for a promise.

Otherwise, "there are many heroes in Shu" would have become a joke.

In comparison, Chen Ming's actions today were already very restrained.

Nie Siming had only heard of it; he was from the military and had always been a pragmatist, always sneering at such chivalrous behavior.

He impatiently said to Li Rui:

"If such people come again next time, shoot arrows directly."

Li Rui nodded: "Yes."

The reason he didn't choose to take action directly just now was actually because he had long recognized Chen Ming's identity, which was why he was so calm.

Unlike Nie Siming.

He certainly wouldn't do such behavior, but it didn't prevent him from appreciating it.

The Jianghu is wonderful precisely because of these wandering heroes.

Li Rui felt that this trip out of Qinghe was worth it.

In Qinghe, where could one see such a heroic scene?

Just treat it as gaining experience.

On the other end.

By the Chijiang, in the woods.

"Elder, are we still going to take action?"

A young man in a black robe looked at the hooked-nosed middle-aged man.

These two were subordinates of the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu of the Guiming Sect.

They were ordered by the Xueying Laozu to investigate the situation.

The Xueying Laozu wanted to disrupt the marriage alliance between the Yu and Wu kingdoms this time, and it would be best to kill that Wu Kingdom Third Princess directly.

For this, the Xueying Laozu even took action personally, training a gang of water bandits into blood corpses and setting up a Blood Spirit Array under the Chijiang.

They even disguised themselves as water bandits, deceiving the officials who came to search.

They had been ambushing here all along.

But just when they were about to take action, a Chen Ming who carried the sun and moon on one shoulder ran out, catching them off guard.

For a time, they couldn't figure out if that Chen Ming was here to disrupt the situation.

The hooked-nosed man narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a long time.

Finally, he gritted his teeth:

"The plan remains unchanged, continue to prepare, take action tonight."

"Those in Shu are all madmen; that Chen Ming has a grudge against that Wu Kingdom Third Princess, it won't affect our major event."

After saying this, he added a hesitant exhortation: "You go and send people to watch."

The young man on the side nodded and flattered at the right time:

"Elder is wise."

The words Chen Ming said just now were heard by them from far away; with such a big commotion, it was no gift at all, clearly it was to make that Wu Kingdom Third Princess uncomfortable.

Both sides must have a grudge.

Otherwise, although Chen Ming was one of those madmen from Shu, he wouldn't have done such a thing that offended the imperial court.

Of course.

What Chen Ming did just now was already crazy enough.

It was just because of the Shu background that it appeared normal.

The young man turned and left.

The hooked-nosed man looked at the large ship on the river, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

He naturally understood why the Blood Shadow Xueying Laozu valued the marriage alliance between the two countries so much, even risking the danger of being discovered by that Saint of War to come to Yunzhou.

Now the Guiming Sect and the Southern Border Qi Clan have merged. Most of the Guiming Sect experts have gone south.

Could it be to restore the glory of the Great Xuan of the past? Who would have thought that the Great Xuan, which had been dead for a thousand years, was actually going to restore the country.

This made many people in the Guiming Sect unable to sleep at night.

The Guiming Sect Qi Clan and the Southern Border Qi Clan were originally of the same clan, and now they had the same goal; the people of the Guiming Sect, upon hearing it concerned restoring the country, naturally worked even harder, and were even willing to risk their lives for it.

Still that sentence.

Being able to be a proper imperial family, who would be willing to be an evil cultist?

If the marriage alliance really succeeded, and that new prince's consort walked around in the capital, it might really prompt the Holy Lord of the Yu Kingdom to agree to send troops and join forces with the Wu Kingdom imperial court to suppress them.

"Since you won't let us live well, then I have to let you die."

The hooked-nosed man's killing intent was chilling.

As if he had already seen the scene of the Third Princess's corpse lying in a pool of blood.

【Note: This line appears to be a garbled anti-piracy placeholder.】

Chijiang, large ship, deck.

Dusk.

The red setting sun illuminated the Chijiang into a piece of red; this was the origin of the Chijiang.

Li Rui stood on the deck.

At this time.

A Wu Kingdom maid walked over: "Official Li, the Princess invites the official to enter the room for a chat."

Li Rui nodded.

He was not surprised by this.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Chen Ming, the Third Princess would have likely looked for him earlier.

Once tonight passed, the large ship would dock.

By then, he would return to Qinghe, and the matter with the Third Princess should also have a result.

Immediately, he followed the maid into a room that was gorgeous to the extreme; gold and silver were everywhere, and even the screens were made of fine brocade, worth a thousand gold.

In the room, a peerlessly beautiful woman with exquisite features, wearing a red dress embroidered with gold thread, and a bright pearl hanging on her forehead, was being served by several maids.

Li Rui bowed and saluted:

"Third Princess Highness."

Seeing Xia Yun again, she was a completely different person from that night at the Anning Guard Commandant's Mansion.

Truly bright and peerless, sinking fish and falling geese.

Clearly, Xia Yun used some kind of disguise technique.

Xia Yun smiled lightly: "Official Li, my sudden visit that night was truly abrupt; I apologize to you."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

The dignified Wu Kingdom Third Princess actually apologized to him, a Fifth-Rank little old man.

Truly a fresh event.

But the more enthusiastic Xia Yun was, the more vigilant he became.

Xia Yun looked at Li Rui sincerely: "Official Li, you have great talent, why not enter the capital with me and display your talent?"

Li Rui remained unmoved, completely different from his usual gentle and detached attitude, firmly shaking his head:

"Thank you for your kindness, Highness."

"I am thin in fortune."

Hearing this, Xia Yun sighed lightly; although she had long guessed it in her heart, she still felt lost when Li Rui rejected her, and also understood that wanting to recruit Li Rui was likely hopeless.

Although she was the Wu Kingdom Third Princess, favored by thousands, the biological elder sister of the new Emperor of the Wu Kingdom, her status and position were extremely noble.

But her situation was not as good as the world imagined.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have voluntarily come to the Yu Kingdom for a marriage alliance.

Her purpose had already been written on the table, which was to persuade the Emperor of the Yu Kingdom to send troops; but precisely because everyone knew her purpose, this matter was even more difficult.

The Emperor of the Yu Kingdom was not a mediocre person, and those in the imperial court were all human spirits; her status as the Third Princess of the imperial family would no longer be so useful in the imperial city.

Therefore, she needed a helper.

Those big figures in the court wouldn't easily take a side, so the best way was to cultivate one herself.

The war in the Wu Kingdom would not end in a few years, so she had plenty of patience.

Xia Yun didn't get angry from embarrassment because of the rejection, smiling:

"No matter, since Official Li is unwilling, I won't force it. Official Li can rest assured, this matter will not be known to outsiders."

Seeing Xia Yun so straightforward.

Li Rui didn't intend to shirk and cupped his fists: "Then this old man thanks the Third Princess."

Just as he was preparing to turn and leave.

A terrified and distorted shout came from the deck:

"Stop them quickly."

"They... are coming up."

The large ship that was breaking through the river stopped in the middle of the Chijiang, and the river surface at this time was boiling like boiling water.

What was even more eerie.

The ten-zhang radius around the large ship turned completely blood-red.

It appeared incomparably eerie under the moonlight.

One Anning Guard soldier after another stood on the deck, their eyes full of fear.

They saw.

One corpse after another that had rotted to the point of almost appearing like a giant's view jumped out from the bottom of the Chijiang and crawled toward the deck.

"Fire arrows!"

Ning Zhongtian, who was guarding the night, gave the order to attack without hesitation.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

This time, the Anning Guard was equipped with heavy crossbows; for a time, crossbow arrows fell like raindrops, hitting those monsters that were neither human nor ghost.

The monsters were hit by arrows and dragged into the river by great force.

But soon, they jumped out of the river again and continued to climb up the large ship.

Immortal body!

Seeing this scene, the Anning Guard soldiers could no longer remain calm; they had never seen such terrifying means.

Soon.

The monsters jumped onto the deck, and for a time, the scene was incomparably chaotic.

Nie Siming heard the commotion and walked out of the room.

Looking at the monsters before him.

His expression became incomparably ugly.

He slowly spat out four words from between his teeth:

"Blood Spirit Array!"
