Chapter 341: Four Symbols Listen to Order, Sun and Moon

~14 min read 2,762 words

"Array in the South, Zhu Que listen to the order!"

As soon as the words fell, a point of Zhu Que divine fire ignited on the Qin Huaihe, and then the fire burned the whole river, and the spiritual machine of heaven and earth gathered.

Three Yang Taiyin Zhenhuo, Feng Yangzhen Fire, Zhu Que Divine Fire, Three Flavors Taiyin Zhenhuo, Sentient Being Thought Fire, all kinds of true fires gathered with the aura, shooting out from several pavilions in the city. Threads of fire entangled and burned the Zhu Que Bridge, making it retreat from its stone quality and turn into an ancient copper sparrow.

"It really is the magic treasure Copper Sparrow on the Copper Sparrow Terrace of Cao Wei in the past!" Qian Chen smiled slightly.

Four Symbols suppressing the earth, each has a magic treasure suppressing it. The Master Sword in Xuanwu Lake, the golden lock in the well behind the Three Mao Temple on Zhong Shan, he couldn't move, the Imperial City had Sima Shi suppressing that magic treasure he didn't dare to move, but the Zhu Que Bridge pressed by your aristocrats on the Qin Huaihe, he couldn't touch it?

The two copper sparrows on the heavy building built by Xie Xuan were obviously the keys to starting the formation and refining this ancient copper sparrow.

When Qian Chen passed the Zhu Que Bridge that day, he saw it at a glance.

Otherwise, he really thought he was so bored to show his demonic nature to scare two little copper sparrows? He was warning them not to intervene...

"It's a pity that it's just one of the seven magic treasures of the ancient copper sparrow. If it were the spirit treasure level copper sparrow, I would dare to fight Sima Shi now." Qian Chen reached out to summon, the sky was like fire, and it was thrown into his hand.

The fire light dissipated, and everyone saw a long spear in his palm, with red copper all over, and fire tips on the sparrow wings, burning with Zhu Que divine fire, domineering and incomparable. Wherever the spear tip pointed, a bit of red light was flaming.

Zhu Que Spear—one of the changes of the ancient copper sparrow.

"Speaking of which, the Master Sword is the most suitable for me, but in terms of spear technique, I also have some attainments!"

Qian Chen shook a group of spear flames like fire birds from the Zhu Que fire tip in his hand, and the red tassel was transformed by divine fire. When shaken open, it was like a Zhu Que spreading its wings.

In the fire light, Sima Shi saw the Zhu Que fire tip spear stabbing at his face. Nine kinds of true fires condensed at the spear tip, turning into golden-red Zhu Que true fire... without any feeling of heat, but carrying a trace of deep destructive power.

Being stabbed by this spear tip, he would not only suffer the power of the ancient copper sparrow itself and Qian Chen's joint efforts, but also be suppressed by the Jiankang formation.

Even if Sima Shi was the Primordial Spirit, he would be seriously injured.

Sima Shi took out the iron ring in his hand, hit it on the spear tip, the true fire scattered, the iron ring trembled slightly, spinning around the spear tip, using its own binding ability to lock the Zhu Que fire tip spear firmly.

Sima Shi snorted, cleaning up a junior, but repeatedly frustrated, which already made him a bit annoyed!

"Fight!"

A true word, suppressed, Qian Chen, whose Zhu Que fire tip spear was bound, tried his best to hit a Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, but in a blink of an eye, it was defeated by this true word.

The thunder light scattered, Qian Chen was hit hard, if he hadn't lightly shouted at the critical moment, using the Xiyi Divine Thunder to resolve 90% of the remaining power of this true word, I fear he would have been seriously injured!

Qian Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, facing Sima Shi, without any fear, laughed loudly under the night sky: "Is this the Sun and Moon Co-birth, Thousand Spirits Heavy Yuan, Heaven and Earth Boundless Qiankun Circle?"

"That's funny enough!"

Twisting the spear handle, Qian Chen swung the long spear and shouted angrily: "Array in the North, Xuanwu listen to the order!"

In Xuanwu Lake, the yin and yang spiritual light chased each other, turning into yin and yang fish rising into the high sky, and then projected towards Qian Chen. The Xuanwu Seven Mansions in the sky dropped starlight, turning into a spirit flag, floating beside Qian Chen.

The yin and yang qi bit each other's tails, turning into a bigger ring, falling outside the spirit treasure iron ring and locking it.

The iron ring shrank to the size of a ring and was locked under the spear tip.

"Array in the East, Green Dragon listen to the order!"

The spear handle swung into a semicircle, with the momentum of splitting the mountain, smashing towards Sima Shi's head. The dragon qi of Zhong Shan in the East rushed into the sky from the well in the backyard of the Three Mao Temple. The golden lock trembled, making a clattering sound. The Daoists in the temple hesitated for a moment, but did not suppress this dragon qi.

The Green Dragon Seven Mansions projected down, making this dragon qi turn into a Green Dragon.

The Green Dragon circled and came, throwing itself directly under Qian Chen's feet,

Feeling that boundless magic power descending from the seven mansions of the Azure Dragon and blessing his own body, Qian Chen was somewhat surprised.

This support from the seven mansions of the Azure Dragon seemed to exceed his imagination.

Qian Chen rode the dragon and brandished his spear. With the Azure Dragon's diving force added to the long spear, everyone in Jiankang City below felt a heavy pressure weighing on their hearts, and they watched the falling spear shaft in terror.

If Sima Shi did not block this spear, the entire city of Jiankang would be smashed to pieces.

But Sima Shi only sneered. His horsetail whisk slid out from his sleeve and was raised to his forehead, parrying the falling Zhu Que Fire-Tipped Spear. However, he could not maintain his stance and staggered, nearly falling to one knee.

Sima Shi's face flushed with shame. He actually flicked his whisk, unloading this immense force, and smashed it toward the city of Jiankang at his side.

"Ruthless enough!" Qian Chen praised, withdrawing his spear and turning back.

Finally, he roared: "Form the array in the west, Bai Hu, obey the order!"

The entire imperial city shook. Beneath the Taiji Palace, a golden qi of the Bai Hu stirred, about to soar into the sky. In the Bureau of Astronomy, the Grand Historian led a group of spirit platform officials to the armillary sphere. Everyone cast spells together, using this magic treasure to completely suppress the earth vein disturbance in the imperial city.

Inside the Taiji Palace, a spirit treasure enshrined in the main hall also gave a soft hum, cutting off the starlight projected downward by the seven mansions of the Bai Hu.

In the Sima family's base, not only did the Bai Hu fail to return to its position, but it also restrained a trace of the Four Symbols Zhou Tian Array's changes.

Sima Shi roared: "Four Symbols Zhou Tian, you really think it's your own family's property!"

He flicked his whisk, entangling Qian Chen's Fire-Tipped Spear, and exerted his magic power to pull. Qian Chen also gritted his teeth, and only with the Azure Dragon's blessing did he avoid letting the long spear slip from his hand.

"To be able to ride the Azure Dragon, it seems you are also someone with great fortune... It's just a pity that fortune is not everything, and it is no match for the crushing momentum of divine abilities!"

Sima Shi formed a seal with one hand and shouted: "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Shu, Zu, Qian, Xing..."

The nine-character mantra struck Qian Chen's heart word by word. The nine characters combined were Sima Shi's full-force strike, capable of interrupting rivers and splitting seas into abysses. Under this powerful force, Qian Chen could only feel his own helplessness.

He patted the Azure Dragon beneath him and said: "I'm not used to this posture. Come, baby, change into another form!"

The Azure Dragon let out a low hum, glanced sideways at Sima Shi, and its dragon body spiraled and rapidly shrank, soon transforming into two rotating rings beneath Qian Chen's feet.

Stepping on the Azure Dragon rings, Qian Chen raised his spear and thrust out. The Zhu Que circled and descended toward the imperial city. The Lesser Yang and Lesser Yin intertwined, restraining the Bai Hu's restlessness.

"Greater Yin!"

In Xuanwu Lake, the reflected bright moon's jade ring spun rapidly, drawing down all the power of the Greater Yin. A pillar of light reaching the sky fell from the near-full Greater Yin star in the heavens, landing in the heart of Xuanwu Lake.

In the lake, the tortoise and snake intertwined and roared at the sky.

"Greater Yang!"

Zhong Shan shone like purple gold. Above the peak, the Supreme Eight Scenery Furnace opened, and a furnace of Greater Yang pills burned, soaring into the sky and transforming into boundless Yang qi. Throughout Zhong Shan, the mountain's momentum was like a dragon, supporting a great sun rising in the east. Above Jiankang City, the sun and moon shone together.

The Greater Yin and Greater Yang intertwined, like two giant ice and fire balls, chasing each other above Jiankang.

"Sun and Moon Born Together, Thousand Spirits Heavy Origin, Heaven and Earth Boundless — Fire-Tipped Spear!"

The Greater Yin and Greater Yang intertwined, the Four Symbols Zhou Tian transformed into Two Yis, and the array's power was poured entirely into Qian Chen. With a point of the spear tip, boundless flames were released. Apart from this sharp shout, the entire city of Jiankang could see a giant Zhu Que take shape and fiercely pounce toward Sima Shi. At the head of the Zhu Que, a point of extreme golden-red light condensed.

"So you're the one they call Nezha!"

A young man's hoarse voice roared out.

Qian Chen had roared too much after all; his voice was somewhat hoarse!

The spear tip pierced the horsetail whisk, and countless green threads rolled out, burned to nothing by the golden flames.

A bald whisk handle snapped in two. Sima Shi was exceptionally disheveled, even somewhat covered in dust. The rolling thoughts of the living people and the true dragon of the Jin Dynasty's national fortune suddenly manifested and merged into his body.

Only then did he break this spear and avoid injury.

In the imperial city, the 'bedridden' Emperor suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion visibly wilting. The eunuchs in the hall cried out: "Your Majesty!" The Emperor waved his hand and said: "For the Sima clan, this is worth it!"

The eunuch sobbed and stepped forward to wipe the bloodstains for him.

The Emperor looked up worriedly toward the direction of the Zhu Que Bridge.

As the firelight dissipated, Sima Shi's eyes were full of madness, while the place where Qian Chen had been was empty. Under the gaze of countless noble families and commoners below, Sima Shi's face turned purple. He roared in shame and anger, and the broken whisk in his hand slashed down toward the Bronze Sparrow Tower, pointing directly at Li Chong.

Xie Xuan and Wang Rong were shocked. The two joined forces to activate two magic treasures, blocking the strike Sima Shi used to vent his anger.

Xie Xuan said loudly: "Zangshan Laozu Sima, please think twice. Li Chong is an envoy from Northern Wei. Does the Zangshan Laozu want to start a war with Northern Wei?"

Wang Rong also said: "This person cannot be killed!"

Only then did Sima Shi's madness dissipate slightly. He snorted angrily, and his figure instantly disappeared. Xie Xuan looked at the Qin Huaihe, which was missing a Zhu Que stone bridge, and sighed: "He even took away our family's Bronze Sparrow..."

"Young people these days are truly extraordinary!"

"Even with Sima Shi making a move, he was still able to escape!"

Wang Rong also appeared beside Xie Xuan. He comforted Wang Longxiang, but this grand-nephew of his was silent, and no one knew what he was thinking. At this time, he also lamented: "The Sima clan has lost such a big face; I'm afraid their days will not be easy from now on!"

"With such arrogant flames, how can it not remind us of the time when Sima Yi was around?"

"It is time to clean up the various regions and commanderies!" Xie Xuan also said: "The Sima clan acts perversely. If there are still people who want to follow them and remain stubborn, that is their fate!"

Wang Rong suddenly frowned and said: "This person can actually use the Jiankang Array?"

He felt an irrepressible heaviness in his heart and thought to himself: "Could it be a technique realized from the 'Eight Trigrams Map' I showed him... No, how is this possible? To master the array map in just a few days, is he a reincarnation of a Daoist Lord?"

Qian Chen shook his long hair, emerged from the Xuanwu Lake like a lotus rising from the water, spat out a mouthful of lake water, wiped his face, and climbed onto an unmanned small boat drifting in the lake.

At the last moment, when Qian Chen saw Sima Shi blessed by the national fortune, he realized that his strongest strike could not hurt this person, so he decisively triggered the Yin-Yang changes to escape...

If he didn't leave after this, what else was there to fight for!

Qian Chen had decisively triggered the Four Spirits under the cover of the Zhu Que, whispered: "Four Symbols Zhou Tian, Escape!" and wrapped the Azure Dragon's spiritual light with a massive force, fleeing toward the southeast. He himself used the cover of the sun and moon to shift into Xuanwu Lake.

Turning his hand to put away the Dragon Sparrow Ring, Qian Chen muttered: "The Sima family is truly ruthless! To seize national fortune like this, are they treating the Emperor as a consumable? No wonder the Emperor is seriously ill. Even if he weren't ill, this time he would at least lose ten years of his life!"

He raised the Fire-Tipped Spear in his hand and looked at the iron ring locked on it, unable to help but feel a headache.

Now there was a red lotus stuck on it.

The Fire-Tipped Spear, the Yin-Yang qi in Xuanwu Lake, and the Red Lotus of Karma combined their efforts to barely suppress it. But in the end, Sima Shi did not recall the spirit treasure because he wanted to use this object to sense Qian Chen.

When it could no longer be suppressed, the iron ring would be activated remotely by Sima Shi to take his life.

Now this thing in Qian Chen's hands was not a treasure; it was a root of disaster that would take his life.

At this moment, Qian Chen also felt a great headache. Could he only enter the Samsara Space to cut off Sima Shi's sensing?

"Using the Xuanwu Lake dragon vein, it should be able to be suppressed for three more days. There is still some time before the next Samsara mission begins. If I enter the Samsara Space too early, the Sima family will also realize something is wrong. They have allies in the Samsara lands who can use this iron ring to plot against me."

"Neither side is safe. I'm truly defeated!"

Qian Chen injected true qi into several hidden acupuncture points. The muscles on his face and the bones all over his body changed, transforming into the free and easy young swordsman from the Great Tang world — Li Taibai!

He leaned against the small boat, took out a pot of wine, and drank wildly toward the moon.

The one who never drank was Qian Chen; the one who loved wine like his life was Li Taibai!

This was also why Qian Chen never used the Green Lotus Sword Song under the identity of Qian Chen. Only in this way could he prevent people with eyesight like Wang Longxiang and Sima Shi from seeing the origin of his sword techniques.
