The second-grade cultivator, who was equivalent to an eighth-level player, was indeed very powerful. He would force Liu Dangren to pick it up with just a snap of his fingers.
There are actually not many third-grade ones in the world today, maybe only about thirty in the world. Liu Dangren had recently killed many third-grade monks from the imperial court, but he had not seen any third-grade monks defect to him. As a result, Guan Shanting, a fourth-grade monk, had always been the second-ranked figure in the army.
In fact, this is not the first time that Old Liu has dealt with a second-grade monk. At that time, he had a conflict with the examiner Wang Anmin because of the imperial examination fraud case. The other party tried to kill someone but was defeated by Liu Dangren.
But that time was too short, and Liu Dangren would definitely be at a disadvantage if it continued.
Secondly, Wang Anmin is considered the weakest among the second-grade monks.
Xie Dingguo is different. Generally speaking, the emperor's uncle Xiao Tianming is number one in the world, while Xie Dingguo and Ma Zhongliang compete for second place.
So, this guy is really strong.
It was so strong that Liu Dangren gritted his teeth and fought, but he was at a disadvantage with the first blow. He felt the fear of the soldiers behind him, and also felt the fear in his heart.
Who in the world is not afraid of a second-grade monk?
If you have fear in your heart, how can you coordinate your mind and fight against it?
Liu Dangren cursed his mother, raised his knife and fought forward to kill.
"Your courage is commendable." Xie Dingguo laughed loudly, and hundreds of runes flew out from his hand, forming seven long swords around him.
The Xie family has seven kinds of cultivation techniques.
The Tao of calligraphy and painting, the Tao of poetry, the Tao of music theory, the Tao of war, the Tao of magic, the Tao of etiquette, and the Tao of heaven and humanity. They respectively correspond to the inheritance left by the ancestors of the seven Xie family who once became first- and second-grade monks.
However, Xie Dingguo's generation didn't come up with much new things. He just integrated the seven cultivation techniques, used calligraphy and painting to imitate talismans as soldiers, added the killing spirit of the art of war, and turned the seven cultivation techniques into seven talisman swords.
Against Liu Dangren, he was more cautious and took out all seven swords at once.
The calligraphy and painting sword is like a mass of ink, leaving countless traces wherever it goes, connected to each other, which are the talismans and ink paintings.
In the painting, thousands of horses gallop towards Liu Dangren.
Liu Dangren pointed his spear far away, the meteor fell, and he swung the Emperor Wu sword with his troops. Although he was a little embarrassed by the impact of the war horse and characters, he still succeeded in breaking the first sword.
The second sword is coming soon.
The sword exploded in front of Liu Dangren and turned into lines of poetry. In an instant, the wind and snow in the north, the scenery in the south, spring rain, summer, lotus, autumn and winter all came towards Liu Dangren with sword energy in their mouths.
The armor was shattered, and blood scattered in the air like mist.
He blocked the sword alone. He was injured and refused to kiss, but he continued to charge forward with his own soldiers behind him.
The third sword came with the sound of music.
The music was exciting and distant, making everyone's hearts beat together, and countless soldiers were directly shocked to death.
The remaining armor on Liu Dangren's body was completely shattered.
With a flicker of purple energy, he was wearing new armor again. But Xie Dingguo frowned slightly, feeling that he still underestimated Liu Dangren.
The remaining four swords came together in no particular order.
The two swords of Fa Li bound Liu Dangren's limbs, and the Heavenly Sword weakened his defense. The art of war is to take Liu Dangren's throat with one sword.
The long knife fell and blocked a sword.
Guan Shanting, who had followed Liu Dangren at some point, broke through to the third-level realm with a single blow, but he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Liu Dangren abandoned his sword and gun, and only had time to shout for the remaining soldiers to lead Guan Shanting to retreat. He pulled out the two swords at his waist and charged forward again.
Xie Dingguo recalled the two swords of the Art of War of Heaven and Man, looked at Liu Dangren who was extremely brave, and said: "The enemy is exhausted, who will step forward to take his life?"
He was not sure how much fighting power Liu Dangren still had, so he planned to test it with his hands first.
Just now, Guan Shanting caught his sword and broke through. Who knows if Liu Dangren, who is one step away from the second grade, will do the same.
So two third-level monks went up to kill them under the command of Xie Dingguo.
Liu Dangren cut them all with one hand and one sword.
It's really fierce. Xie Dingguo shook his head: "Withdraw troops."
How could he, with his rich body, fight for his life against this person? The worst case scenario would be to act as an assassin and slowly kill the rebel generals and officials. Why do we need to decide the outcome here?
But Xie Dingguo forgot how fatal his withdrawal was to morale.
The 100,000-strong army actually collapsed during their retreat.
Liu Dangren pursued bloody pursuit, but the army actually became more and more abundant. Relying on the strength of the military formation, he successfully forced Xie Dingguo away in embarrassment.
Of course, he knew this was only temporary.
When Xie Dingguo returns from recuperation, if he doesn't confront him and the army head-on and continues to assassinate the officers and himself, who can stop him? In the end, we could only evacuate Yangzhou and hide in the mountains to plan for the future.
However, spring plowing can be completed.
After fighting until now, Liu Dangren could finally sigh.
In Youzhou, after bidding farewell to Zhang Dingyang, Wu Hui began to accept refugees here according to the original plan, control the army, and began to collude with officials from neighboring counties. Relying on his outstanding force and intelligence, he successfully gained a position on par with the imperial governor in Youzhou.
Of course, the governor would not cause trouble again after accepting Wu Hui's bribe.
This officialdom really sucks. Before Wu Hui wanted to do anything, he had to send some money to help. Fortunately, Ren Yin specially produced glass perfume, soap and other items, and formed a caravan to sell them to make money. Only then did he have the financial resources to quietly control Youzhou.
All the money earned was used to buy food, grass and weapons, or was used to bribe officials in the continent.
The governor was originally responsible for supervising Wu Hui. Now it's easy to get along with them. I have to say that it is really obvious that the Great Xia Dynasty is coming to an end.
That is, those second-grade monks who think they are superior to others think they can suppress everything by force. As everyone knows, force can only accelerate the collapse of order, but it cannot restore order.
"How many years do you plan to spend if you continue like this? Do you want to wait until you reach the second level of cultivation?" Ren Yin was not very satisfied with this.
Wu Hui: "The second level is indeed very strong. We can only officially activate it when they are incapacitated."
Ren Yin pushed the bridge of his nose: "Wang Anmin went to Mount Tai, Xie Dingguo went to Jiangnan, Ma Zhongliang sat in Xiliang and refused to move. Only Prime Minister Yuan and Uncle Xiao were left, and no one wanted to leave Luoyang."
"As long as we don't object in person in Youzhou, they won't send second-grade people over."
"Well..." Wu Hui said: "I am one step away from the third level. I planned to wait for a while. But now it seems there is no need."
"I'll kill those thorns. You take Xiaoyue to see the governor of Youzhou. No matter what method you use, just control him." Ren Yin stood up: "Of course, I think you should have already get ready."
Wu Hui: "Just dragging people into the water. Simple."
The world is in turmoil, with beacons of smoke rising from all directions. No matter how strong the force is, if you have just pacified one area and have two areas rebelling, what else can you do?
PS's strength improvement in this game is temporary and will not be brought to the outside world. In other words, only a small part will be taken to the outside world.
