Chapter 456: How to Pacify the World (6000)
Nine fire dragons killed their way into the great formation.
Each fire dragon was over three hundred meters long, carrying high temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius and earth-shattering aura; the might of any one fire dragon was no weaker than an Earth-grade magic treasure!
Nine fire dragons suddenly arrived, as if nine "Earth Fiend-level" top-tier True Persons had taken action simultaneously.
This was the power of Fire Red Qilin tribe Great Elder Nuomu Han's natal magic treasure, the "Taicang Nine Dragon Boat"!
After he refined the Tiangang Earth Fiend formation style of his natal magic treasure to Great Perfection, he could divide the formation style into nine, and could also combine the nine formation styles into one.
Now it was the formation style divided into nine, turning into nine burning-heaven fire dragons, two of which respectively pounced toward Qi Zhou and Ji Ji Yifan, and the other seven all killed toward the blood-colored giant Bai Yan had turned into!
Nuomu Han had seen through Bai Yan's planning decades ago, so he took a huge risk and established a connection between his personal destiny and the destiny of all the branches of the Fire Red Qilin tribe.
Therefore, when Bai Yan refined the tens of thousands of people in the Fire Red Qilin tribe branch, Nuomu Han perceived it at the first opportunity.
For the survival and inheritance of the tribe, he could endure.
But with new hatred added to old, this Great Elder of the Fire Red Qilin tribe could endure no longer!
In the situation where the tribe leader and all the elders had left, there was simply no one in the Fire Red Qilin tribe headquarters who could restrain this Great Elder.
Therefore, Nuomu Han left the Holy Mountain and killed his way out.
With his flight speed, he had long since caught up with Bo'erhu's personal guard army.
But he had not shown himself, instead hiding in the dark, just to catch Bai Yan off guard at a critical moment!
But after seeing that Luo Pan in the air, Nuomu Han discovered that his plan to sneak attack was likely to fall through.
This Luo Pan contained a portion of the power of analyzing Dao principles. Although Yun Shu had not arrived at this place in person, this power could still slowly produce an effect.
Its effect was to continuously analyze all information within the range of the light shroud!
Once Bo'erhu's Dao foundation, supernatural powers, Martial Dao Domain, force operation, martial arts weaknesses, and other information were all analyzed thoroughly, for Bai Yan to kill him, it would not require more than three moves!
So-called omniscience is omnipotence; the advantage brought by analyzing Dao principles in battle is very huge.
It could be said that if Bai Yan used such means before the battle started, then his victory over Bo'erhu was only a matter of time!
Likewise, with such power shrouding the entire field, Nuomu Han wanting to sneak attack Bai Yan also became very difficult.
After figuring out this point, Nuomu Han no longer waited and decisively entered the field.
Facing the seven burning-heaven fire dragons that suddenly killed their way over, Bai Yan was not surprised at all.
The blood-colored giant's body suddenly shrank, shrinking from over three hundred meters high to two hundred meters.
Following the shrinking of the body, the blood-colored giant's power became more condensed, and the aura it erupted with was also more powerful!
Facing the seven fire dragons that killed their way over, the black long spear danced, and in an instant, it seemed to have hallucinated into seven long spears.
All seven long spears accurately stabbed into the heads of the fire dragons.
Because the power erupted was too strong, the ground beneath the blood-colored giant's feet collapsed downward violently, the earth shook again, and the gravel splashing toward the surroundings was each comparable to a bullet!
Smoke and dust filled the sky.
All seven fire dragons were blasted apart almost simultaneously!
The sky-filling sea of fire shrouded several hundred meters in radius, and the temperature of the entire battlefield rose a lot, everyone feeling as if they were placed in a furnace.
Blasting seven burning-heaven fire dragons with one move, the blood-colored giant's wrist shook, and the long spear turned back violently, stabbing toward Bo'erhu again.
After two moves, a series of muffled thunder-like sounds of breaking air and explosions finally erupted.
"Bo'erhu, is this all the ability you have?!"
Bai Yan did not pay attention to Nuomu Han, who had suddenly killed his way over; the focus was still on Bo'erhu.
True fierce generals on the battlefield are all braver the more they fight. Although Bai Yan had practiced with the three Imperial Camp armies for a long time previously, drills are ultimately different from actual combat, so he did not use his full strength at the beginning, but was continuously adjusting the army formation and aura, continuously adjusting his own state.
When Nuomu Han suddenly killed his way out, Bai Yan finally did not hold back anymore and used his full strength!
He stabbed a spear toward Bo'erhu. At the same time the long spear stabbed out, the space around Bo'erhu was suddenly solidified, making him like a mosquito in amber, unable to move at all!
The power Bo'erhu had erupted with previously was strong, but it was only a line stronger than a peak Grandmaster of the Lidao realm.
There was still no small gap from the combat power in the rumors about the other party.
Therefore, Bai Yan knew that Bo'erhu likewise had not used his full strength.
Facing this absolute-kill spear, Bo'erhu's body suddenly expanded, became larger, and the black armor he wore shattered with a boom, all the fragments merging into his body.
Five meters tall, covered in scales, two horns growing on his head, a pair of huge wings growing on his back.
This was Bo'erhu's image at this moment.
He had also beastified without reservation!
"Sure enough."
Seeing this scene, Bai Yan was not surprised.
Forcing the Northern Barbarian King to beastify is equivalent to crippling him, which can be considered as completing the task to a certain extent.
But Bai Yan at this moment did not have the slightest joy.
Because Bo'erhu's beastification was highly likely different from others; even after beastifying, there was no need to pay a heavy price!
The Martial Dao inheritance of the Northern Barbarians is far behind the Central Plains. Although their physique tempering is stronger than Central Plains warriors, and they even have life-risking means like controllable beastification, the difficulty of breaking through realms is far greater than the Martial Dao inheritance of the Central Plains.
The Five Elements Dao foundation, the mainstream of Central Plains Martial Dao, after a thousand years of evolution, has already approached perfection; it is the most solid foundation, the lowest risk, and the lowest difficulty for breaking through realms!
Other regional Martial Dao inheritances, although each has its own characteristics and is stronger than Central Plains Martial Dao in some aspects, can at most be considered narrow paths, not broad avenues.
This is why for over five hundred years, the Northern Barbarians have only produced one Martial Saint.
The Grassland Royal Court in the east and the two great desert nations in the south also rarely produce peak experts.
Under such circumstances, no one in Central Plains Martial Dao has ever been able to possess combat power exceeding this realm at the Grandmaster realm, so why would the Northern Barbarians be able to?
The "Prince-level" of the Western Continent is because of special bloodlines, and Northern Barbarians do not have special bloodlines.
Therefore, the Great Lan Dynasty's judgment on Bo'erhu's super combat power is—beastification!
This is the only reason that can explain his possession of Prince-level combat power.
But Bo'erhu could not possibly cut off his own Martial Dao future just to win a competition; in that way, even if he really unified the Northern Barbarians, it would be impossible to reach the top again.
Therefore, Yun Shu's speculation about him is—because of some unknown reason, after Bo'erhu uses beastification, he does not need to pay a very heavy price, and his Martial Dao future will not be cut off.
At this time, seeing Bo'erhu suddenly use beastification, Bai Yan was even more certain of this speculation.
It was not yet the most desperate time, and the opponent could not possibly choose the most life-risking fighting style now.
Therefore, it could only be that the price of Bo'erhu's beastification was different from others.
The long spear stabbed toward the beastified Bo'erhu, and the opponent rushed toward the long spear.
In the blink of an eye, both sides completed over a hundred collisions in this solidified space!
The black dragon long spear in the blood-colored giant's hands fractured inch by inch again, and Bo'erhu was also covered in blood, both arms fractured.
But his injuries were healing at an extremely fast speed, and the black dragon long spear in the blood-colored giant's hands also re-condensed.
The seven fire dragons that had been blasted apart simultaneously reborn from the sea of fire, killing toward the blood-colored giant again!
On the other side, Qi Zhou and Ji Ji Yifan both unfolded their own Martial Dao Domains, rolling the incoming burning-heaven fire dragons into their domains.
Both of them were Grandmasters of the Shengji realm; unfolding their Martial Dao Domains within the great formation, they received a certain suppression, so they were temporarily entangled by the burning-heaven fire dragons.
In the air, Mi Han's natal flying sword suddenly divided into over a thousand sword lights, continuously passing through the black dragon's body, causing the scales and flesh on its body to be continuously stripped away, like slow slicing!
Wuri Wuri Tianji used his natal magic treasure to contend with Mi Han's flying sword, while simultaneously mobilizing the power of the great formation to suppress Qiu Qiu Zian, thereby allowing those five immortal blood shadows to entangle the other party.
For a time, the top combat power on the battlefield was temporarily restrained.
Li Fei and the other four Martial Arts Masters, as well as the two Zhengfa Pavilion True Persons, were likewise continuously rushing forward.
Three Martial Arts Masters were responsible for commanding the three Imperial Camp armies; at this moment, they were within the blood-colored giant, so the remaining high-end combat power of the Barbarian-Slaying Army was only the seven of them.
They likewise had the ability to change the situation on the field!
On the mountain peak, following an order from Wuri Wuri Tianji, one after another, powerful Badu experts leaped down the mountain peak.
There were a total of fourteen powerful Badu experts in the Northern Barbarian King's personal guard army, two of whom were True Persons, who were currently assisting Wuri Wuri Tianji in maintaining the Twelve Heavens Blood Fiend Great Formation.
Five powerful Badu experts had just chosen to sacrifice themselves, so the remaining powerful Badu experts who could take action were seven, which just happened to correspond to the Barbarian-Slaying Army side.
However, besides these seven powerful Badu experts, there were over thirty Tudu warriors on the Northern Barbarian side who chose to sacrifice themselves, becoming immortal blood shadows.
These thirty-plus Tudu warriors could not block Grandmasters, but they could cause influence on Martial Arts Masters.
And besides them, there were over ninety Tudu warriors in the personal guard army!
At this moment, these hundred-plus people followed the five powerful Badu experts and leaped down the mountain peak, launching a charge toward the direction of the Barbarian-Slaying Army.
"This is your reliance?"
Bai Yan swept a glance at the situation on the mountain peak and asked Bo'erhu.
Bo'erhu did not speak, just rushed toward the blood-colored giant again.
After beastifying, in the head-on collision, he actually suppressed the blood-colored giant!
Added to the seven fire dragons assisting, he finally occupied the upper hand in the confrontation.
Bo'erhu likewise noticed the situation on the mountain peak.
Nuomu Han following in the dark, this matter he knew.
And he also knew that even if the Great Lan Dynasty organized an elite team like the Barbarian-Slaying Army to carry out decapitation on him, the number of Tiandu experts sent would not be too many.
The number of Tiandu experts on the surface of the Great Lan Dynasty was several times that of the Northern Barbarians!
Even setting aside those experts in the Jianghu, the Tiandu experts belonging to the imperial court likewise had quite a few.
If these Tiandu experts all killed their way into the Northern Barbarian lands this time, Bo'erhu would surely die!
However, he was very clear that this was impossible.
Just like even though he had already obtained the public allegiance of eleven tribes, after issuing the order for full support, besides the Fire Red Qilin tribe Great Elder choosing to take risks and take action because of hatred, the remaining ten tribes combined did not send a few Tiandu experts.
The Great Lan Dynasty looked like it possessed so many Tiandu experts that could be commanded, but in reality, at critical moments, how many could truly be counted on?
The comprehensive strength of the Great Lan Dynasty is indeed far stronger than the Northern Barbarians, but various internal strife and various internal friction are likewise far stronger than the Northern Barbarians!
It is a very simple principle: Xu Jing is likewise a Grandmaster, but Li Fei joined the Barbarian-Slaying Army; even if Xu Jing were willing, the Emperor could not possibly send him to join the Barbarian-Slaying Army again, nor could he send Martial Arts Masters related to the Lu family to join.
The other experts in the Barbarian-Slaying Army also had similar considerations.
Bo'erhu likes to read history; after becoming the Northern Barbarian King, he could even more appreciate one point:
The strength of a country or an organization cannot just look at its paper data; what truly needs to be looked at is how much synergy it can form at critical moments.
An army that can make two or three tenths of its warriors united as one, absolutely obey orders, and dare to fight to the death, is already a strong army.
All officers and soldiers dare to fight and struggle, daring to fight to the death until the last person—Bo'erhu searched through history and did not find a few such armies.
As for such countries or organizations, there is not even one!
Bo'erhu's own personal guard army, in such a dangerous moment, still did not have many people willing to take the initiative to beastify and sacrifice themselves to the great formation.
Therefore, he also did not believe that the Great Lan Dynasty could send many experts to kill him.
As long as he, Wuri Wuri Tianji, and Nuomu Han could temporarily block all the Tiandu-level experts of the Barbarian-Slaying Army, in the battle between the remaining Badu experts and Tudu warriors, he believed that his side was occupying the advantage!
If it really didn't work, his personal guard army still had over ten thousand warriors, among whom at least two or three thousand were willing to beastify and sacrifice themselves for him.
This was also a force that could not be ignored!
This was Bo'erhu's reliance; his tactic was learned from the war examples of the Western Allied Forces invading the Great Lan Dynasty back then:
Use lower-level military force to influence the middle level, then use middle-level military force to influence the upper level, rolling layer by layer in this way, using the method of rolling a snowball to lay the foundation for victory!
The distance of three li, even if it is not flat ground, with various hills and trees, for Martial Arts Masters, does not need too long to cross.
Li Fei, under the condition of performing Sword State: Heaven and Earth Without Restraint, had a faster movement speed than the other several Martial Arts Masters.
He rushed to the very front, taking the lead!
The Golden Silk Jade Red Qilin Armor on his body had already entered combat form, turning into a complete set of golden scale armor, wrapping his entire body.
He intentionally avoided the battlefield of the three Grandmasters. After climbing over another hillside, on a hillside several hundred meters ahead, he saw a Northern Barbarian warrior leaping high, jumping to a height of over twenty meters.
Subsequently, he fell heavily, landing over two hundred meters away, smashing a large pit in the ground!
This person was clearly a powerful Badu expert of the Northern Barbarians, likewise taking the lead, rushing to the very front of his side.
He was over two meters tall, wearing a piece of light brown animal skin, holding a pair of heavy hammers in both hands, with blue lightning flashing all over his body, looking astonishing in aura.
After he fell from the air, only thirty-plus meters remained from Li Fei.
For two Martial Arts Masters, this distance was no different from face-to-face.
This powerful Badu expert revealed a ferocious smile and roared loudly in the Central Plains language:
"I am..."
Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed, and he turned around violently to swing his heavy hammers toward the right side.
Li Fei appeared instantly on his right side, blasting a punch over!
This powerful Badu warrior's reaction speed was extremely fast, and his movements were truly like lightning, completing the turn and swing of the hammers instantly, and the blue lightning on his body surface was all concentrated on the heavy hammer in his right hand.
This was his supernatural power 【Mysterious Thunder】!
It could convert force into a special lightning power, which not only had extremely strong killing power but could also significantly enhance reaction speed, movement speed, and attack speed.
Besides this, it could also significantly enhance physical strength, could operate this lightning power at a speed far exceeding the flow of force, and could even use this lightning power to repair a damaged body.
Similar to Li Fei's 【Hunyuan Golden Palace】, 【Mysterious Thunder】 was also a comprehensive supernatural power.
The fist flashing with golden light collided with the heavy hammer flashing with blue lightning, and the ground beneath the two collapsed downward instantly!
The huge shockwave shattered the surrounding trees and rocks completely.
Because the 【Mysterious Thunder】 supernatural power could significantly enhance physical strength, and this person's cultivated Dao foundation also focused on physical strength, so in the head-on collision, he was even stronger than many 7th-grade exotic beasts!
But when Li Fei's fist smashed into his heavy hammer, a massive force far exceeding his imagination struck!
The heavy hammer indented inward, and the blue lightning on it scattered.
This powerful Badu expert's tiger mouth cracked immediately, his wrist fractured, and the heavy hammer in his hand was blasted back to strike his own chest!
His chest indented downward, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, his whole body flashed with electric light again, instantly tearing through the air, retreating backward at supersonic speed.
While retreating, he used Mysterious Thunder to heal himself.
A golden human figure appeared on his retreat route, drawing his saber to slash at him.
This powerful Badu expert felt a huge crisis and was about to perform other supernatural powers immediately.
But he suddenly felt his heart and mind shake, and a sea of blood appeared before his eyes...
Golden saber light erupted in the jungle, slashing through countless trees and rocks along the way, ultimately stopping only after spreading for over two hundred meters.
In front of Li Fei, the powerful Badu expert using heavy hammers had already been split in two by him!
A three-supernatural-power Martial Arts Master, not even having time to use all his supernatural powers, was killed instantly just like that!
Li Fei's body expanded; he had already entered the "Blood Demon State," and consumed 580 blood souls to perform 【Blood Rage】.
However, he did not use the Vajra Seal for either of those two strikes just now, only relying on the extreme strength his body could bear to crush his opponent.
After killing this opponent, Li Fei did not stop, continuing to charge forward.
While charging, the words Bai Yan had said to him before the battle surfaced in his mind:
"In this battle, the ideal situation is that our several Grandmasters and top-tier True Persons take action to resolve the battle. But it is also possible that a situation arises where our top-tier combat power is temporarily restrained; at this time, you need to break the deadlock.
I am clear about your abilities; at that time, you might become the most critical link on the battlefield!"
The situation was indeed as Bai Yan predicted, needing the power of the Martial Arts Master level to break the deadlock.
Li Fei looked ahead; his behavior just now immediately attracted the attention of the experts on the Northern Barbarian side.
Three powerful Badu experts killed toward him simultaneously!
This is the battlefield; there is no talk of one-on-one.
On the battlefield, the more dazzling one performs, the closer one is to the god of death!
Li Fei did not dodge, rushing forward to meet these three powerful Badu experts.
Just as the three powerful Badu experts were about to complete the encirclement, Li Fei suddenly disappeared in place, and then appeared behind one of them.
Possessing the 【No Distance】 supernatural power, he was not afraid of being besieged at all!
Behind Li Fei, it was as if a "Heavenly Gate" had opened, and massive heaven and earth origin energy surged into his body. He held the Ghost-Slaying Saber with both hands, the Blood Rage power equivalent to 1160 blood souls erupted, and he slashed down with the saber!
The powerful Badu expert he was attacking did not turn around; a round iron shield covered in thorn patterns suddenly appeared behind his back.
Bang!!!
The Ghost-Slaying Saber slashed onto this shield, erupting a large cluster of sparks.
The shield appeared with a gap, but it was not slashed open by Li Fei.
Not only that, Li Fei also felt a massive recoil force coming from the shield!
Supernatural power—【Thorn Shield】.
The effect is that it can reflect all physical attacks!
The Ghost-Slaying Saber in Li Fei's hand shook violently, and the golden light on his body surface cracked; Sword State: Golden Body and Jade Marrow was broken by his own attack!
However, with the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl transferring the damage, he was not injured by his own reflection.
Looking at the gap on the thorn shield, he knew that this supernatural power of the opponent was not unsolvable; he could use 【Blood Might God】 to attack their heart and mind, or break their damage-bearing limit.
But he had no intention of entangling with such an "iron turtle" opponent. Just as the opponent turned around to prepare for a counterattack, the Ghost-Slaying Saber suddenly bloomed with ten thousand rays of golden light.
【Infinite Brightness Fire】!
The golden light shrouded several dozen meters around, and all three powerful Badu experts were hit simultaneously.
Li Fei did not seek to injure the enemy with this move, only seeking to temporarily affect the opponent's perception and hinder the three from joining forces.
Taking advantage of the fact that the brightness had not yet dissipated, he had already appeared behind another powerful Badu expert, holding the saber with both hands and slashing down.
This powerful Badu expert did not have a supernatural power like 【Thorn Shield】, but he did not dodge either; his figure changed, and two more heads suddenly appeared behind his back, along with four more arms.
Supernatural power—【Three Heads and Six Arms】!
The two extra heads, one was full of compassion, and one was full of anger.
The compassionate face's eyes shone with white light, looking at Li Fei, making the fighting intent in Li Fei's heart suddenly diminish, and the erupted Blood Rage power also decreased by a portion.
Even the force and True Power on the Ghost-Slaying Saber dissipated by a portion!
The compassionate face controlled two arms to clasp together, clamping the slashing Ghost-Slaying Saber.
At the same time, the angry face's eyes shone with red light, also looking at Li Fei.
Wherever the gaze reached, the golden light on Li Fei's body surface immediately weakened by a notch.
The angry face also controlled two arms, two fists flashing with red light, together blasting toward Li Fei's chest.
Boom!!!
The ground beneath the two also collapsed downward.
Li Fei was punched in the chest, the defense of Golden Body and Jade Marrow was broken again, but the Golden Silk Jade Red Qilin Armor on his body blocked the remaining power, so he was not affected at all.
The Ghost-Slaying Saber he slashed was clamped by the opponent's hands, but even the weakened power still exceeded the opponent's expectations.
1160 Blood Rage power plus the Hunyuan Vajra Force fused with sword aura True Power, highly concentrated in the Sword State!
A flash of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the compassionate face.
The saber edge forcibly slid past the opponent's palms, slashing toward the compassionate face's head, splitting it from the middle!
The remaining power slashed into the opponent's body completely.
Without the compassionate face's head, the two arms clamping the saber edge disappeared immediately; this powerful Badu expert spurted out a mouthful of blood, hurriedly dodging to one side.
Li Fei was lost in thought; it seemed this 【Three Heads and Six Arms】 supernatural power not only allowed them to have two more sets of combat systems that could cooperate with each other, but also allowed them to have two more lives?
It was not even a second, and the disappeared head and arms reappeared!
It looked like the opponent also had a supernatural power similar to 【Regeneration】.
Another one that was not easy to kill!
Li Fei's eyes were biting. Seeing the three powerful Badu experts about to rendezvous, countless sword auras suddenly surged from within his body.
A golden sphere shrouded all four people within it.
Sword State: Hunyuan Sword World!
Both the Northern Barbarian and Barbarian-Slaying Army experts noticed this golden sphere on the battlefield, seeing that this was a small world formed by human hands.
Such a small world is difficult to break from the inside, but very easy to destroy from the outside!
Both sides quickly rushed toward this position, wanting to support their own people.
The Northern Barbarian side had people possessing flight supernatural powers, so all the experts on the Barbarian-Slaying Army side were forbidden from flying, so ultimately a powerful Badu expert possessing flight supernatural powers was the first to fly above the Hunyuan Sword World.
Just as he was preparing to take action to break Li Fei's small world and give Li Fei a heavy injury.
The golden sphere suddenly unraveled on its own.
A golden human figure rushed out from within, and then appeared instantly on the crown of a large tree.
This person was Li Fei.
Only to see him holding the saber in his right hand, holding a human head high in his left hand, letting out a long roar!
The long roar resounded through the entire battlefield.
Three powerful Badu experts, two of whom had supernatural powers skilled in life-saving, fortunately, the third one was not.
Thus, within the Hunyuan Sword World, the other two were blocked by sword aura, and this person was targeted with full strength by Li Fei, seizing the opportunity to use 【Blood Might God】 to forcibly control him, and then beheading him with one saber!
In less than a short minute, Li Fei killed two powerful Badu experts in succession!
At this moment, all the top-tier experts fighting on the battlefield could not help but look toward Li Fei's side.
Li Fei, after the long roar toward the sky, only felt incomparably refreshed.
In his mind, he could not help but recall that gold medal "As if the Emperor were present," and then the scene of the day he was enfeoffed as a Marquis.
Marquis of Jing'an.
How to pacify the world?
Only by holding the saber and standing by the horse!
