Chapter 577: A man should shed blood on the battlefield, drunk and holding a green blade to pierce the sun's brilliance!

Tu Ming also mastered divine arts and was an existence known as a True Monarch among Nascent Soul cultivators.

He himself was also in a high position with great power, serving as the High Priest of the Hundred Poisons Tribe. The Pale Moon Tribe, the Ancient Vine Tribe, and the Hundred Poisons Tribe are the three largest barbarian tribes in the Thousand Peaks Forest, each with a population of about one million.

But in the entire Thousand Peaks Forest campaign, Tu Ming's achievements were few, his battle results were pitiful, and he only performed in the initial ambush.

He felt very aggrieved; if it weren't for Shen Qinghe's terrifying restraint, he would definitely have had more battle results.

It is a pity that reality is reality; Tu Ming is now hanging by a thread and can only count on reinforcements.

Unfortunately, the Hundred Poisons Tribe is almost entirely specialized in poison arts and is like a chick in Shen Qinghe's hands. The large Poison Pool Mountain was not cleaned out by Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe hated all poison cultivators in the world and had been wanting to hunt down Tu Ming. At this moment, she searched the mountain carefully, searching acre by acre, not giving Tu Ming a chance to escape.

Tu Ming watched as the Clear Spirit Law light was about to shine on him, and couldn't help but fall into despair.

But Shen Qinghe's movements paused slightly.

She received a flying letter, which described the shocking changes on the main battlefield.

"What? General Du was stabbed by Young Master Shengxu again, and his injury is so severe that he can only withdraw the army?"

Shen Qinghe's first reaction was not to believe it, suspecting that this was a plot by Tu Ming and other enemies to deceive her into withdrawing voluntarily.

But the national power aura of the Liangzhu Kingdom revealed by the seal in the flying letter was genuine and extremely difficult to fake.

"It seems that Tu Ming's fate has not yet ended." Shen Qinghe sighed in her heart, then turned into a green light, flew away quickly, and left the Poison Pool Mountain.

The reason she was able to penetrate deep into the Thousand Peaks Forest was because the Liangzhu Kingdom army was standing in the heart of the land, providing Shen Qinghe with room for action.

Now that the army is gradually withdrawing, the speed at which the Thousand Peaks Forest allied forces react is unpredictable. If they react and organize a counterattack, Shen Qinghe would be like entering the enemy camp, which would be very dangerous.

Worried about being besieged, Shen Qinghe could only withdraw.

The defeated army of the Thousand Peaks Forest gathered in one place.

"Xiang Ning! Wuu wuu wuu..." Many soldiers covered their faces and wept, sorrow and hatred intertwined.

The commander died in battle, causing sorrow to permeate the remnants of the army.

It was not just Xiang Ning; the Long Wang Temple line, as the main force of this battle, also suffered the most severe losses in troops.

Chen Lingfeng was carried, already in a state of coma, his physical body twitching violently from time to time, white foam spitting from the corners of his mouth, his eyes rolling white, staring wide, and his eyelids could not be closed no matter what.

This is the price of overusing natural talent.

The latest information was delivered to Lu Hongtu's hands, and he couldn't believe it at first. After confirming it was correct, he shouted and publicized the matter to everyone.

The soldiers had wooden expressions.

After reacting, cheers began to rise, sparse and scattered.

Among them, some cultivators took the initiative to propose taking the opportunity to counter-kill, but there were few responders.

More people refuted, saying that although Du Tiechuan was injured, he was not killed in battle after all. Returning to fight, their side would still face the powerful Liangzhu Kingdom army. What was the difference from before?

The difference is that Xiang Ning has already died in battle!

Who can hold up the overall situation?

Lu Hongtu looked at everyone's reaction and shook his head in his heart: "Military morale is hard to use."

Even if Young Master Shengxu made contributions, Du Tiechuan was seriously injured, and the army was voluntarily withdrawn, it was difficult to change the morale of the Thousand Peaks Forest allied forces. The latter generally had low fighting spirit and were more inclined to stop the war.

"Unless I step forward and forcibly organize an army. Or Xiang Yue would also work..."

"However, the appeal of the two of us can only affect a small part, and it cannot be compared with Xiang Ning at all."

"Forget it."

"Such a result is actually very good!"

Lu Hongtu was happy to see such a development.

He gained many battle merits in this battle, spread his family's reputation widely, and formed good relationships with cultivators and forces from all sides.

It can be said that in terms of diplomacy, he and the Six Caves Sect had an extremely huge improvement in the Thousand Peaks Forest.

In terms of spoils, Lu Hongtu also gained quite a lot.

Overall, the gains outweighed the losses.

The biggest loss of the Six Caves Sect was in the line of the Master of the Demon Heart Cave. The beloved son of the Master of the Demon Heart Cave, Lin You, died in battle, and the Master himself only escaped with his Nascent Soul.

And the Master of the Blood Shadow Cave and the Master of the Poison Scorpion Cave were worthy of being the figures Lu Hongtu carefully selected; both fought on the front line and survived.

"The two great Soul Transformation-level combat powers dispatched by the Liangzhu Kingdom this time are one dead and one injured, and they will not raise troops again in a short time."

"The Ginseng-Bearded Long Wang chose to attack the Old Monster of the Stone, and his hostility is prominent. Although it is not the real Old Monster of the Stone, in essence, the Thousand Peaks Forest has already fallen into civil strife."

"The upper-level forces have suffered a lot of losses, resulting in a confrontation, and they are unable to take care of themselves; isn't this the perfect opportunity for my Six Caves Sect to expand and continue to rise?"

Lu Hongtu evaluated the major forces of the Thousand Peaks Forest.

The largest Long Wang Temple line suffered the most severe losses. As the external signboard of the Long Wang Temple, Xiang Ning's death in battle was a huge loss for the Long Wang Temple.

Among Xiang Ning's former right-hand men, Wu Hen had been captured alive, and although Chen Lingfeng survived, because of his own chaos, he caused considerable trouble and losses to his own army, lost trust, made enemies everywhere, and his reputation plummeted.

In this situation, Xiang Ning's political legacy had no successor in his own faction, and it strangely transferred to an outsider—Xiang Yue!

Therefore, Lu Hongtu estimated: "Xiang Yue obtained Xiang Ning's legacy, and his personal strength increased greatly. And his performance in the second great battle won him much respect and recognition, and he will be the representative among demon cultivators."

"And I am the leader among human cultivators in the Thousand Peaks Forest."

"The barbarian forces have suffered heavy losses!"

"The Ancient Vine Tribe's Bi Tengyi died in battle, escaping with his Nascent Soul. The Pale Moon Tribe's Di Lu died earlier, and even his Nascent Soul is gone. Only Gu Ya is left to support the overall situation. And the Hundred Poisons Tribe??"

"I don't know if Tu Ming is dead? If he died in Shen Qinghe's hands, then the Hundred Poisons Tribe will also move toward comprehensive decline and must cede many of its original territories."

"Even if he didn't die, according to his performance in this battle, he was defeated almost every time, and his reputation plummeted."

The more Lu Hongtu thought, the hotter his heart became.

The old forces that originally filled and occupied many territories have all suffered significant declines in strength.

The Six Caves Sect and the Pale Barbarian Cultivator Group, having benefited from the war, will surely rise!

"Military Advisor Lu, if Lei joins your sect, what can I get?" A spiritual sense secretly transmitted to Lu Hongtu.

It was Li Jiuqu!

This Gu cultivator was restrained by Mo Yechen's myna in the great battle, lost many Gu insects, and his strength and reputation fell quite a bit.

He also saw the rising trend of the Six Caves Sect and took the initiative to ask to join.

"With such a demonic powerhouse joining, my Six Caves Sect will surely see a great increase in strength!" Lu Hongtu couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

He was about to lead his subordinates to show his ambition, and before he actually took action, he had a big opening victory.

It's really great!

At the same time, in another place...

Nascent Soul True Monarch Bai Ling leaned against a pine tree, looking at the cultivators around him.

They were Ju Bing, Qian Ye, and Jin Tunhe, respectively.

Bai Ling spoke slowly: "I called you all together because we are all demon cultivators."

Bai Ling himself was from a white crane, Ju Bing was a wild boar, Qian Ye was a fox, and Jin Tunhe was a toad.

Ju Bing and Qian Ye looked at Bai Ling intently, while Jin Tunhe yawned, his eyes sleepy. He had eaten too much in this battle and needed to sleep to digest it quickly.

Bai Ling glanced at Jin Tunhe: "I will keep it short. This great battle, although the Liangzhu Kingdom army withdrew, they preserved their strength very well."

"Our side has already failed twice on the main battlefield. Just now, we suffered heavy losses."

"You and I are all demon cultivators, liking freedom and living alone. But I fear that the Liangzhu Kingdom will raise troops again in the future; by then, will our Thousand Peaks Forest still have such luck?"

Ju Bing asked directly: "So, Lord Bai Ling, what do you want to do?"

Bai Ling smiled slightly: "Very simple, we must join forces and watch over each other."

Qian Ye: "Should we contact the Elephant King? He is also a demon cultivator."

Bai Ling was silent for a while: "Xiang Yue's whereabouts are unknown, but according to his strength, unless he encountered a Soul Transformation level. Let's discuss it first, then go contact him."

Boom boom boom...

Xiang Yue chased Unlike Ning Zhuo all the way, every step he took, the ground shook, making a roaring sound, with soil and rocks flying, smoke and dust rising.

He sent a spiritual sense message: "Unlike Ning Zhuo, you brat, where else do you want to flee? Stop quickly and tell me the matter. If you dare to play tricks, I will definitely tear you in half!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "Elephant King, don't be anxious, it's still close to the battlefield here; let's go a bit further, it's safer and steadier."

Xiang Yue was already impatient: "You have said this several times; do you think this King is easy to fool? Stop for me!"

Saying that, Xiang Yue suddenly made a move, performing martial arts, his speed soaring, and after a few steps, he caught up to behind Unlike Ning Zhuo.

He extended his big hand and grabbed directly at Unlike Ning Zhuo's neck. If this grab were solid, Unlike Ning Zhuo would be lifted up like a little chick.

At the critical moment, a voice suddenly came out: "Elephant King, don't be impatient."

Bang.

Zhu Xuanji suddenly appeared and clashed fiercely with Xiang Yue head-on.

The two retreated a step each, forming a confrontation.

Xiang Yue looked at Zhu Xuanji with a surprised face: "A mere Golden Core, actually on par with me? Who are you?!"

Zhu Xuanji's several divine arts quietly faded, shaking his numb fist: "I am a member of the Nandou Kingdom royal family, Zhu Xuanji."

Xiang Yue thought for a while: "Nandou Divine Catcher?"

He clenched his fist: "Come again!"

Xiang Yue's muscles bulged, performing martial arts, and blood-fire burned on his fists, swinging his fists again.

Zhu Xuanji was not afraid, his divine arts erupted, and for a time, golden light added to his body, jade qi spread, and in the golden qi, mountains and forests appeared faintly, each one was a golden branch and jade leaf, gorgeous and noble.

Bang.

The two clashed again, both retreating, on par with each other.

Xiang Yue had a serious face, because Zhu Xuanji only used his physical body, divine arts, etc., to fight him, and did not use any magic treasures or national artifacts on his body.

"Although I didn't use all my strength, it was about the same."

"The key is that twice in a row, Zhu Xuanji and I both retreated a step; what does this mean?"

"This means he didn't use all his strength either, just looked at my strength and then exerted the same strength!"

Thinking of this, Xiang Yue whispered: "Good."

He dissipated his fists, his arms hung down naturally, and he quickly recognized Zhu Xuanji: "Is my meeting with Hongfeng an arrangement of the Nandou Kingdom?"

Zhu Xuanji: "Elephant King, all this is just a coincidence, and my Nandou Kingdom is just going with the flow, dropping a spare move."

Xiang Yue's heart sank; Zhu Xuanji admitted it frankly, making him have to re-examine the lover he thought about day and night.

"Hongfeng..." Xiang Yue was a sentimental person, not to mention that Hongfeng was pregnant with his child.

The Pale Barbarian Elephant tribe has difficulty in reproduction. In order to breed the tribe, Xiang Yue has repeatedly sought the Elephant Pulse Fertility Pill.

And there is a rule in this world that the higher the cultivation, the harder it is to breed descendants.

Xiang Yue, as the Elephant King, stacked two factors, and the possibility of giving birth to descendants was quite low. He couldn't help but track down his lover and descendants!

"Sigh!" Xiang Yue sighed deeply, glanced at Unlike Ning Zhuo, and stared at Zhu Xuanji: "What do you Nandou Kingdom want this King to do?"

"Wait a moment." Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly waved his hand, "I will take my leave first, you two lords talk slowly."

Although Unlike Ning Zhuo was close to Zhu Xuanji, and the Nandou royal family Zhu family and the Ning family also had an alliance, Unlike Ning Zhuo never lost the sense of proportion that should be there.

Zhu Xuanji represented the Nandou Kingdom and laid out in the Thousand Peaks Forest; this is a state secret, and Unlike Ning Zhuo did not want to know too much.

But Zhu Xuanji indicated: "It doesn't matter."

Unlike Ning Zhuo gave a dry laugh, still chose not to stay, but took the initiative to retreat.

Zhu Xuanji showed a confident and calm smile: "Unlike Ning Zhuo, it doesn't matter if you don't want to listen, but don't rush to leave; I have news about your mother. And this information is of great value to you."

Unlike Ning Zhuo was stunned, and after reacting, his expression changed drastically, unable to hide his excitement: "Is what Lord Zhu said true?"

This time it was Xiang Yue's turn to give a dry laugh: "Is this the style of the Nandou Kingdom Divine Catcher?"

He was gripped by the handle and had to comply, but seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo also caught by the weakness, he couldn't help but reduce his bad feelings for the latter, and took the opportunity to mock Zhu Xuanji.

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not have much bad feelings for Zhu Xuanji, but felt grateful: "Old Zhu is one of the few people who knows my true purpose. I didn't expect him to secretly collect information for me and do so many things. As expected of Old Zhu, a good man."

Unlike Ning Zhuo still took the initiative to stay away, letting Zhu Xuanji and Xiang Yue talk privately.

He came to a hillside and looked at the mountain scenery.

The sunset glow, the setting sun like blood.

This great battle started from the morning and lasted until the evening.

A strong mountain wind blew, stirring the pine waves between the mountains like a tide, and also blowing Unlike Ning Zhuo's long hair and clothes fluttering.

The glow reflected on Unlike Ning Zhuo's whole body.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was in a white robe, stained with blood, having just escaped from a great battle, his whole body's hot blood was still rolling, his eyes were bright, and he was energetic.

Recalling the scenes on the battlefield at this moment, thinking of the life-and-death battle between the enemy and us, each character appeared on the stage, showing their abilities, wonderful and brilliant.

The Mechanism Princess was willing to be a mainstay, Mu Lan's divine arrows were fierce and pressing, Xu Dali fought hard, Zhao Xi fled cleverly, Xiang Ning sacrificed himself in battle, Xiang Yue was destructive, Li Jiuqu was treacherous and poisonous, Chen Lingfeng was enchanted and crazy, Jin Tunhe had extraordinary talent, Lu Hongtu was old and steady, Ding Pi and Jia Wan had hidden murderous intent, Du Tiechuan had Soul Transformation power, Young Master Shengxu overturned the battle situation...

There were also the Fire Cloud Camp burning countless enemies, the White Jade Camp wiped out, the Three Generals Camp becoming more and more experienced, and the Red Flower Camp having many battle results...

Such things flowed through his heart like a flower-viewing horse, stimulating his emotions to rise, and he couldn't help but let out a soft whistle.

The young man's soft whistle stirred in the mountains and forests, causing a mountain wind to rise from the ground, rolling up the green sea.

"Without traveling, how can one personally experience such a wonderful life."

"I still want to experience such a battlefield."

"Fighting with all kinds of outstanding people, in the life-and-death struggle, racking my brains, trying my best to bloom my own brilliance, and also witnessing the highlights of others, just like drinking a strong wine, making people can't help but be intoxicated by it."

"Boss, I suddenly understand you."

Unlike Ning Zhuo sent a spiritual sense message to Sun Lingtong: "Is this the excitement you are pursuing?"

Sun Lingtong suddenly triggered his inspiration, his eyes rolled: "This is called: A man should shed blood on the battlefield, drunk and holding a green blade to pierce the sun's brilliance."

Unlike Ning Zhuo chuckled: "It's rare for the boss to have poetic interest."

Sun Lingtong giggled and shouted: "I just thought of this sentence."

Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Then I will complete it for the boss."

He thought for a while, and in just three breaths, he chanted: "Divine arrows collapse the clouds and fire shines on the glow, wild knives drink blood and iron blooms flowers. Three armies thunder and destroy mountains and peaks, one whistle wind gallops and rolls yellow sand. A hundred battles, why refuse to turn into ashes, a thousand tribulations, the spirit remains like a cliff. A man should shed blood on the battlefield, drunk and holding a green blade to pierce the sun's brilliance!"

As soon as the voice fell, Zhu Xuanji appeared and praised: "Good poem!" ===== CHAPTER 578 =====

He thought for a moment, and after only three breaths, he chanted in a low voice: "Divine arrows shatter clouds, reflecting the sunset's glow; wild blades drink blood, iron blooms like flowers. The three armies thunder, crushing mountains and peaks; one roar, the wind gallops, rolling up yellow sand. In a hundred battles, why refuse to let the body turn to ash? Through a thousand calamities, the spirit remains like the horizon. A man should spill his blood on the battlefield, drunkenly brandishing a green blade to pierce the sun's brilliance!"

As soon as the voice fell, Zhu Xuanji appeared and praised him: "Good poem!"
