Chapter 215: Tang Wanqiu
The earth trembled, and the sound of swords was loud.
Li Ling controlled the dense golden sword runes, turning them into a bright river of swords, not only impacting Ming Niansheng but also shuttling between all the Wu Xiu present, causing the Wu Xiu of more than a dozen factions to riot.
Each golden sword rune had the power of a full-force blow from a Wu Xiu in the Fourth Realm of the Five Seas.
But the quantity was huge, pressing Ming Niansheng, an expert of the inheritor level, to retreat continuously, unable to maintain his human form, turning into a huge red-haired demon-race body.
When the Zouwu ran to Li Youyi's side, the reins were pulled violently, stopping instantly, its two hooves raised high, and the roar in its mouth spread throughout the South City.
Li Ling flew up, her right hand pinching the rune seal finger method, pressing directly toward Ming Niansheng across the air.
"Swish! Swish..."
The dense golden sword runes overlapped, turning into a ten-meter-long, nearly solid golden giant sword, slashing down diagonally.
The giant sword was heavy, the blade sharp, and the energy domineering.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered.
Ming Niansheng's abdomen was torn open with a half-foot-long blood wound, and he was hit back by the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins with a palm, escaping the disaster of being dissected.
"Whoosh!"
The golden giant sword scattered, turning into countless golden runes, flying around the Zouwu, Li Youyi, and the ghost general.
Li Ling landed back on the back of the Zouwu, her fingers always pinching the seal, her eyes bright with spiritual fire. "Three hundred runes, three hundred soldiers! Who said the Nine Li Tribe is defeated? I am still here, I have arrived!"
Li Youyi saw that the flying golden sword runes were no longer just a rune, but had something carrying them, turning into talismans, not one-time consumables.
"Boom!"
Cang Li could no longer control the fighting spirit in his heart, pushed the door and walked out, unwilling to be a shrinking person anymore. Wrapped in the ghost flag, with blue veins all over his face, he shouted loudly, "Luan-Sheng Lin-You, I'll fight you; Cang Li can still fight. If we fight, let's fight until the last drop of blood."
In the center of the street, Li Youyi, Li Ling, and Cang Li all stood proudly, their eyes sharp.
Although there were only three of them, they did not fear the crowd of enemies.
On the third heaven of Peach Plum Mountain, Yin Jun did not know why his eyes were wet, his fists clenched, and he hammered the stone table heavily.
He knew that the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival was not easy to fight, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic. He didn't expect that for the sake of the honor of the clan, for the responsibility of the clan, the three of them would have to face so many enemies, and be isolated and helpless.
Seeing this scene, Yin Jun only hated that he couldn't be forty years younger and participate in it.
"How many more trump cards does your Nine Li Tribe have?" Zuoqiu Ling couldn't help but ask.
This question was also what the Wu Xiu under the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins wanted to ask.
The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins' eyes were cold to the freezing point, and the murderous intent was even stronger. "Good, since you want to die, I'll send you on your way."
"Swish!"
A white-robed figure appeared like a teleportation on the top of a building opposite the Qin Garden, holding a sword, smiling and bowing to the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins. "Snow Sword Tang Ting's second inheritor, Tang Chen, pays respects to the Young Venerable."
"Swish!"
A second figure appeared, an eagle-headed demon cultivator, arching his hands. "The descendant of the Demon King of Zhuozhou in the North Realm, Yin Suwen, has seen the Young Venerable."
A third figure flashed and appeared outside the Qin Garden gate, strangely crashing directly into the array, as if entering an uninhabited land, sitting on the ground with a thud. It was a pure silver immortal body, with white flames burning on the skin. "The number one person in Tanzhou of the North Realm, Tuoba Butuo."
A fourth figure was a green-shirted girl with countless silver ornaments on her body, hanging full of insect bags at her waist, smiling and bowing. "The number one person in Yingzhou of the North Realm, Wanyan Xiaose."
More than a dozen Seventh Sea powerhouses flashed out one after another, their clothing styles completely different from the common people of Qiuzhou in the Southern Realm, with a very exotic style.
Tang Wanqiu was the last to appear, looking seventeen or eighteen years old, with white fox fur around his neck, a mole on his brow, and bright eyes. Behind him stood six pure immortal-bodied sword-wielding Wu Xiu.
The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins looked at him. "Why, is Snow Sword Tang Ting going to have a decisive battle with me today?"
Tang Wanqiu waved his hands repeatedly and laughed, "I didn't want to get involved, but he praised me as a hero. If I didn't show up, I would definitely turn around and curse me as a worm of the North Realm, ending up with the same fate as the Dragon Palace and Lu Cangsheng."
Everyone knew clearly that the reason Tang Wanqiu showed up was that the Nine Li Tribe's chips were enough!
A Cang Li who could still fight, a Li Ling who could slash Ming Niansheng with a sword.
As long as they were subdued, they would be sharp blades used to deal with the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins.
The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins said, "What if I insist on killing today?"
Tang Wanqiu saw the firmness and sharpness in the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins' eyes, and really didn't want to have a decisive battle with the far-west ash region now, restraining the smile on his face. "Li Youyi, tell me one reason why I must save you today."
Li Youyi picked up the two invitations on the thunder-method black ice. "If you get Cang Li's invitation, the Zuoqiu Gate will never have a chance to collect all the Dragon Bone tickets and Dragon Seed tickets of the Southern Realm."
"The Dragon Palace and Lu Cangsheng of the East Realm are just withered bones in a grave, only knowing how to restrain each other, and it is even more impossible to collect them all."
"Zhu Yibai of the West Realm is the deadly enemy of the far-west ash region, destined to have little achievement."
"In other words, as long as you get Cang Li's invitation, all the old guys on Peach Plum Mountain will only be able to watch Snow Sword Tang Ting stand out alone, and only you can unify a realm. The Zuoqiu Gate, as the host, can only be out early. This is the first reason."
"Second, protect us for ten days. Ten days later, if Snow Sword Tang Ting goes to war with the far-west ash region, the Nine Li Tribe will definitely fight to the death. A deep blood feud cannot be left unavenged."
"Third, if the Nine Li Tribe and the Zuoqiu Gate are out, the next target of the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins and Ge Xiantong will be you. You cannot afford to gamble on this possibility."
"Haha! I only wanted one reason, but you said so much; how can I refuse? I can't refuse at all."
After Tang Wanqiu laughed, his expression quickly became serious. "Ten days is too long; seven days, I will protect you for seven days at most. Seven days later, no matter how much your injuries have recovered, if Snow Sword Tang Ting goes to war with the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins, you must participate."
"Good!"
Li Youyi agreed.
These seven days were too precious!
Tang Wanqiu continued, "Second, Cang Li must swear in the name of the God of Nine Li that during the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, the Nine Li Tribe will never be an enemy of Snow Sword Tang Ting."
"As long as you don't act unrighteously first, I agree!" Cang Li said.
Tang Wanqiu said, "Third, you, Cang Li, Li Jiufu, and Li Ling, must help Snow Sword Tang Ting fight a decisive battle. Don't worry, I won't let you go to war with the Zuoqiu Gate."
Cang Li was hesitating.
Li Youyi said first, "This is what we owe, and it should be so."
Li Youyi secretly sighed that the gap between Tang Wanqiu and Zuoqiu Ting was too large. In the current situation, wouldn't it be better to let them owe a favor?
But now it had become a business deal.
Very good.
What Li Youyi feared most was owing favors.
Cang Li also figured this out and hurriedly agreed, then asked, "What about you? How do I know whether you will go back on your word during these seven days and put us in an unrighteous position?"
Tang Wanqiu laughed, "Snow Sword Tang Ting is fighting for the world, not the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. If what I say is equal to farting, Snow Sword Tang Ting had better not leave the North Realm, lest it lose face."
"Luan-Sheng Lin-You, are you going back to heal your injuries, or are you having a decisive battle today?"
Cang Jin rushed from afar and appeared among the crowd of Wu Xiu, transmitting his voice to the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins with magic power: "The high-level Wu Xiu of the Zuoqiu Gate and the imperial court are both wounded and have stopped fighting. Zuoqiu Ting and Zuoqiu Lancheng are rushing here."
The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins' expression did not change, their eyes shifting between Tang Wanqiu and Cang Li, and finally falling on Li Youyi. "The Hidden Dragons of the present world are only you and me. Go!"
The Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins stuck the silver spear heavily into the ground, turned around and left, extending a finger. "I give the spear to the only one; the others are not qualified to take it."
The Wu Xiu of more than a dozen factions retreated like a tide.
The eyes of many Wu Xiu in the North Realm fell on Li Youyi.
Li Youyi's teeth were almost broken. It was one thing for the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins to have terrifying combat power, but their methods were too sinister, and they even used such a strategy of "praising to kill" before leaving. It was completely preparing to advance by retreating, borrowing a knife to kill.
On the third heaven.
Despite the tragic defeat, Yin Jun and the elders of the Zuoqiu Gate all let out a long sigh of relief and became high-spirited.
"Being able to force an enemy like the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins to retreat is simply a miracle," Zuoqiu Ling, as the head of the Lingxiao First Rank, understood the mentality of an invincible person too well.
To make an invincible person yield and retreat is harder than defeating him.
An old guy clapped and praised, analyzing, "First use the Empty Residence Strategy to buy time, then explain the pros and cons, planting the seeds of retreat in the heart of the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins. Finally, anticipate that the people of Snow Sword Tang Ting must be nearby, and exchange the Longevity Pill, Dragon Seed, and Dragon Bone, as well as their own value, for seven days of breathing room. Any one of these links is indispensable to fight for a path of survival from a desperate situation."
Another old guy said, "The most important thing is the person; such courage and intellect are really hard to find in the younger generation."
"You all ignored Cang Li and Li Ling; if it weren't for their strength being strong enough, root!"
Yin Jun's worries disappeared, and he couldn't help but be a bit proud. "Whose family doesn't have a daughter with high natural talent?"
Zuoqiu Ling said, "What about that flag? Its origin is not small; it is definitely not an object of the Lingxiao Life Realm."
Yin Jun said, "Are you finished? My Nine Li Tribe is an ancient tribe of ten million; what treasures don't we have? Do you really think we are cats and dogs?"
Zuoqiu Ling nodded. "In this battle, the Nine Li Tribe indeed displayed the style of an ancient tribe of ten million, and no one will ever look down on you again. The younger generation has won back face for the people of Lizhou."
Li Ling collected all the talismans into the spiritual world of her brow.
Yin Jiu, Yin Ten, Yin Fifteen, and Yin Sixteen were carried out by the Wu Xiu of Snow Sword Tang Ting, and they prepared to avoid the North City for seven days.
Tang Wanqiu opened the two invitations, took out the Longevity Pill tickets, Dragon Seed tickets, and Dragon Bone tickets inside, and returned the invitations to Cang Li, laughing, "The Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival still needs to be participated in; after the Lantern Night battle, we must drink a few more cups."
Zuoqiu Ting flew down to the street opposite, standing far away at the entrance of the alley, covered in blood, and did not approach.
"I'll go talk to him," Li Youyi said.
Tang Wanqiu stared coldly at Zuoqiu Ting in the distance. "Being able to withstand the attack of the imperial court's eight prefectures is truly a character. Brother Youyi, don't be abducted by him; I'll wait for you here, and we'll drink first tonight. Cang Li will forget it for now; with his full-body injuries, how much he drinks is how much he leaks."
Li Youyi and Zuoqiu Ting sat on the stone steps under the eaves by the long street.
Zuoqiu Ting said while healing, "Sorry, the worst situation happened; the Zuoqiu Gate was overwhelmed and couldn't lend a helping hand at the critical moment."
Li Youyi said, "Being able to withstand the imperial court's attack is already quite good! Who could have imagined that Ge Xiantong and the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins would join forces?"
"Qing Yin is dead!"
Zuoqiu Ting's face was bitter and extremely painful.
Li Youyi was also stunned; that was a figure of the inheritor level. "Your sister didn't take action?"
"If she hadn't taken action, the Zuoqiu Gate would have only been able to kneel and beg for mercy last night... She and Ge Xiantong were both wounded... uh..."
Zuoqiu Ting's chest heaved, and a mouthful of blood was spat out of his mouth, and the disguise technique on his body could not be maintained.
Li Youyi said, "Hurry back and heal your injuries; after today, the pattern of Qiuzhou Prefecture City will definitely change greatly. By the way, we are temporarily going to the North City to take refuge; the young Wu Xiu of the Nine Li Tribe in the South City can only be taken care of by you. Also... help me find Li Jiao."
Last night, the Nine Li Tribe was mainly fighting with high-level Wu Xiu.
Yin Eleven fled, life or death unknown.
"Rest assured, this is what the Zuoqiu Gate should do."
Zuoqiu Ting's hand suddenly reached into Li Youyi's sleeve and quietly stuffed a pill bottle into his hand. "This is a healing pill refined by the ancestor; he is one of the best alchemy masters in the Lingxiao Life Realm, and it will definitely help Cang Li and Li Jiufu recover their injuries quickly. In addition, you have been in the limelight enough today; there are countless people who want to kill you, so don't jump around anymore."
After dropping these words, he turned around quickly and flew onto the roof, disappearing.
He joined Tang Wanqiu, sat in the carriage, and headed toward the North City.
Cang Li could no longer hold on and fell asleep in another carriage prepared by Snow Sword Tang Ting, taken care of by Li Ling.
Tang Wanqiu grabbed Li Youyi's hand, intimate and inseparable. "Youyi, if you had practiced for two more years, this Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival wouldn't be led by the Luan-Sheng Lin-You twins and Ge Xiantong. Are you interested in joining Snow Sword Tang Ting and plotting for the world together?"
Li Youyi laughed, "With our current cultivation, how can we talk about plotting for the world? By the time we grow up, the world will have long been settled."
"Not necessarily; with the help of Dragon Seeds and Longevity Pills, everything is possible..." Tang Wanqiu said.
At this time, a veiled woman flew into the carriage and presented a secret letter to Tang Wanqiu.
After reading it, Tang Wanqiu's eyes became much more solemn. "Zuoqiu Hong, this should be the foundation of the Zuoqiu Gate! There is actually one more person of that level; it is truly a destined immortal era."
Li Youyi looked outside the carriage, his thoughts gradually settling down.
Daylight arrived, the battle ended, and the street became lively, with heavy traffic and lion dances and gongs.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone put on new clothes.
Clearly in the same city, it was like living in two worlds, just like the cruel chaotic world outside and the brocade prosperity in the city.
Another 7000+ words... asking for monthly tickets.
