"I can't keep you. Mr. Li, I've watched you grow up. I don't want to harm any of the Marquis's descendants, but I really can't keep you alive!"
The bones of Qiu Tianhai's hands were all broken from the center of the palms. If the skin and flesh were not still connected, they would have fallen to the ground.
He was unaware of the severe pain in his palm, and his eyes were full of horror and fear.
The fear of the Martial Saint!
Even if a human immortal comes, the shock in Qiu Tianhai's heart will not be so strong.
But now the fear that Jiang Li brings to him is ten times more than that of a human immortal.
A frail young man who had been trapped in the Marquis Mansion for more than ten years, with bones, flesh and body that was almost fully grown, with no foundation or support, in less than a year, he had the strength to compete with the Martial Saint.
Even reaching the realm of Yiwu, the physical strength is unprecedented.
This kind of situation cannot be believed unless you see it with your own eyes and witness it scene by scene from beginning to end.
After all, it is different from Wen Qi strategy and Qi pulse.
To temper the physical body with martial arts, one can only gradually progress step by step. Every step is extremely difficult to make tricks and breakthroughs.
No matter how hard you practice martial arts, your physical body needs enough time to recuperate.
The foundation must be built with great care, as a slight negligence will directly cut off the path to martial arts.
This is why, the children of aristocratic families and noble families practice martial arts since childhood, soak in secret medicines and swallow them, and even have Qi meridians to sort out their meridians and blood... With all kinds of blessings, they can advance to the Sixth Realm of Innateness when they reach adulthood. It is already extremely outstanding and rare.
But Jiang Li?
In less than a year, he was physically promoted to Yiwu, and his martial arts artistic conception reached the pinnacle of Yiwu.
Except that the potential of his brain has not been stimulated, he is almost a strong man at the peak of the divine transformation realm or even a semi-saint.
With such a speed of improvement, I'm afraid it won't take more than a year to reach the realm of a true martial saint.
In three years, he is expected to become an immortal!
A twenty-year-old immortal?
Even in ancient times, it never appeared!
Such a character, Mr. Hou?
He was afraid that he could only be suppressed by Jiang Li with one hand.
Can't stay, absolutely can't stay.
As the essence and blood circulated in the physical body, Qiu Tianhai's broken bones began to slowly heal, and the wounds on his palms quickly scabbed and new flesh grew.
This is the terrifying power of regeneration that the spirit of the fist spirit attaches to the physical body and fully controls the changes and operations of all the tiny particles in the physical body.
The same is true of physical sanctification, but the changes brought about by the spirit of fist and mind are completely different.
It didn't take more than a stick of incense for Qiu Tianhai's hands to return to their original state, but he couldn't wait any longer.
The moment Jiang Li exists in the world, the threat to the Marquis becomes even greater.
Qiu Tianhai jumped up from the ground with a roar, as if the space was being pulled and the air was being sucked out.
The turf, dust and even the earth on the ground also rose with a bang, leaping into the air with Qiu Tianhai.
He swung his right leg in the air and hit Jiang Li directly on the forehead. The ground quilt was also lifted up, turning into a python and a dragon, and was thrown towards Jiang Li.
The ground rumbled, and the soil dozens of meters deep was thrown towards Jiang Li by Qiu Tianhai.
The spirit of the fist is attached to the rolling soil, and seems to have transformed into the new limbs of Martial Saint Qiu Tianhai.
"Control the land!"
Jiang Li held the knife in front of him to protect him. With a thought in his mind, the ground beneath his feet shook with a rumble.
Boundless sand flew up from the ground around him, and like thousands of troops, it condensed into a huge palm and directly collided with the earth and rocks controlled by Qiu Tianhai.
There was a huge earthquake, like two huge mountains slamming together, and the sand and soil exploded like a downpour, scattering throughout the camp.
Dust was flying, and wisps of dust fell.
"There is an enemy situation!"
The whole camp was shaken. The soldiers were on guard with knives and wanted to rush to the center of the earthquake for help. However, the dust kept falling, and everything in their sight was dim and they could not tell the direction.
Shangguan Qingyan, Mo Yunliang, Old Man Tu and others walked through the dust and arrived near Jiang Li's main tent, but were suppressed by Qiu Tianhai's Wu Shengwei more than a hundred meters away and could not get closer.
"What kind of method is this!"
Qiu Tianhai was also shaken back. Qi and blood surged in his body, as if he had really hit a huge mountain.
Wu Sheng struck with all his strength, but was knocked out again by Jiang Li.
Even the Demon Sword Human Slaughter was not used.
"Impossible, I can't kill you anymore!"
Qiu Tianhai couldn't believe it, and murderous intent arose in his heart. As a martial saint, he was repelled twice by martial artists in the Yiwu realm.
If he cannot win completely today, his will and confidence in martial arts will be frustrated.
"Boom"
However, before Qiu Tianhai could land and rise again, a huge gap suddenly opened in the ground beneath his feet.
There was no support on the ground for his feet, and Jiang Li's body, which was knocked back by the shock, also fell towards the depths of the cracks in the earth.
"The fist is like a rainbow!"
Qiu Tianhai ignored his hands that had not yet recovered. He clenched his fists towards the cracked space under his feet and punched out with a fierce force. The air was like a rainbow, and the fist edge exploded into pieces. The terrifying force knocked open the air and formed a continuously rotating air drill.
Relying on this counter-shock force, he flew upward.
"Ho ho ho"
But before he could fly out of the ground, nine ten-foot-long red gold giant dragons were roaring in the dust, carrying blizzards all over the sky and fierce winds.
There were even billows of yellow sand hitting his head and face.
These yellow sands are not ordinary. Each grain is condensed countless times after being tempered by great magic power. One grain of sand weighs more than dozens of kilograms.
They hit Qiu Tianhai together, like a small mountain pressing down directly.
If it were normal times, if a mountain peak really came, it would not be able to shake Qiu Tianhai in the slightest.
But at this moment, his feet were in the air, but he lost the support of his strength.
The warrior tempered his body, and no matter how strong he was, he could not get his feet into the air and was knocked back directly.
The nine giant red gold boats entangled Qiu Tianhai tightly.
"What are these means? Martial veins, Qi veins, and the literary Qi of the Literary Saint are nothing. Why can you control the earth and the sky? Do you have other inheritances left behind in the medieval era? "
"Jiang Li, tell me where your strength and methods come from!"
Qiu Tianhai roared angrily, struggling hard with his incomplete arms, and opened them fiercely. The nine red-gold dragons shattered in response, turning into countless air currents that surged in all directions, and the earth walls on both sides continued to explode due to the impact.
Amid the dust, a destructive sword intent that chilled people from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet was slashed from the air.
Qiu Tianhai was shocked and could only cross his arms to resist.
With just a clang sound, Demon Sword Rentu chopped into pieces the flesh and blood of Qiu Tianhai's arm, cut into the arm bones that were harder than divine iron, and embedded the blade into them.
The huge pressure forced Qiu Tianhai's figure to fall deeper.
"Jiang Li!"
Qiu Tianhai shouted angrily. He looked up and saw that at the end of the demon knife, Jiang Li was holding the knife in both hands. His eyes were cold and calm, without any trace of murderous intent.
But the power on the blade is fierce, decisive and merciless.
To be fair, Qiu Tianhai had no deep grudge against him.
In the Hou Mansion, the old man looked like he was dying, and he behaved the same way towards everyone.
Even compared to those handymen who bullied others, he gave Jiang Li some help.
but
That's all.
The moment Qiu Tianhai had murderous intentions against him, it was absolutely impossible for Jiang Li to let this Martial Saint survive in the world again.
Such people are firm in heart and extremely loyal.
You can't surrender, you can only kill!
"Turn stone into gold!"
Jiang Li opened and closed his lips slightly, and a strange force spread along the broken arms of Qiu Tianhai along the Demon Sword Rentu.
The glimmer of light passed by, and the wounds that had been splattered with blood instantly condensed, and the blood and muscles were converted into iron in an instant.
The strange force traveled all the way down the broken arm. Wherever it went, flesh and blood turned into metal, irreversibly.
"Jiang Li, what did you do to me!"
Qiu Tianhai was heartbroken. He could clearly feel his feelings fading in his arms, and his arms gradually became heavier.
His physical body is being lost bit by bit.
Jiang Li actually transformed his flesh and blood into metal bit by bit!
What kind of unnatural means is this?
No.
It cannot be called a means, but a magical power!
Only supernatural powers can do this!
"Qiu Tianhai, go with peace of mind, Jiang Shirong will be with you soon!"
Demon Sword Rentu shook slightly, and his arm that turned into metal was shattered by it.
The blade moved forward and inserted inch by inch into Qiu Tianhai's chest, directly splitting his heart in two.
"Export Yuanyang!"
Jiang Li pressed his hand on Qiu Tianhai's body, and the majestic life essence and Yuan Yang's true breath from Wu Sheng's body flew out one by one.
In Qiu Tianhai's glazed eyes, one after another Zhenyuan Dan emitted golden light was condensed.
It's an eerie feeling that's hard to describe.
As far as he could see, he felt his body being transformed into elixirs by Jiang Li.
"Devil, you are the devil!"
The high spirits and unyielding will in Qiu Tianhai's heart seemed to completely disappear the moment his heart was cut off.
It's not that his strength is far inferior to Jiang Li's.
But Jiang Li's various unnatural methods completely crushed him by downgrading him.
That is a magical means that exists in another dimension.
It cannot be overcome by simply accumulating strength.
Perhaps only human immortal means can compete equally.
"Devil? Is he a devil who possesses supreme supernatural powers? Or is he a devil who uses his own flesh and blood as an opportunity to become a human-immortal barrier?"
Jiang Li smiled coldly: "Jiang Shirong was able to be promoted to Martial Saint, to have such a status now, and even to have a glimpse of the Immortal Path to Heaven. Everything was given by my mother. He is ungrateful, but bullies me like this?
"You respect him as a marquis, but in my heart he is worse than a beggar on the street begging for food. He keeps saying that I am extremely naughty, a hidden danger to the Zhou Dynasty, and the most naughty heir to the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion.
"But what am I doing? What is Jiang Xuanluo, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, doing? Hundreds of thousands of sergeants in the Liangzhou General Camp and the Holy Emperor's plan against Beimang will be destroyed in his hands. Who is the big one? Zhou’s hidden dangers and sinners?”
The coldness in Jiang Li's eyes became stronger and stronger.
"The eldest son is just blinded by hatred and his mind. What do you know? Could it be that Chi Luo and Tuoba have already noticed and are going to take action against the Liangzhou General Camp!"
Qiu Tianhai was startled. He saw an unprecedented coldness, edge and madness in Jiang Li's eyes.
"I want to see how Jiang Shirong, a master of Neo-Confucianism and impartiality, will deal with his son fairly and justly!"
Jiang Li smiled: "Don't worry, I won't kill Jiang Xuanluo. Even if one day he comes to provoke me and humiliate me, I will not kill him. I will leave him to Jiang Shirong.
"As an eternal sinner who ignored military orders, neglected his duties, and ruined the imperial court's century-old strategy, Jiang Shirong, who is the Minister of the Ministry of War, will selflessly chop the knife on the neck of his eldest son!"
"You can't, you can't do this!"
Qiu Tianhai's heart was trembling as he was split in half. He couldn't imagine such a scene.
If Mr. Hou is really in that position...
No
Never show up!
"Jiang Li, as an important minister of the imperial court and the most trusted young general of Emperor Jing, you cannot just watch the destruction of the Liangzhou General Camp. You have to consider not only Jiang Xuanluo but also the hundreds of thousands of soldiers!"
Qiu Tianhai shouted urgently: "Take your 60,000 troops and horses to support, rush to support!"
"Why can't you just watch the Liangzhou camp collapse!"
Jiang Li suddenly smiled, and the cold and iron-blooded expression on his lips even made Qiu Tianhai feel a creepy feeling in his heart.
"This Northern Expedition is a key move that will affect the Zhou Dynasty's foundation for thousands of years in the future. Any small decision made by the court and Emperor Jing may affect the changes in the entire war situation!"
Jiang Li said calmly: "Since Emperor Jing abandoned me and adopted Jiang Shirong's opinion and let Jiang Xuanluo take my place, I should have considered everything, including gains and losses!"
"I ask myself to this day, I have not betrayed any trust from the imperial court and Emperor Jing. Even if I am in charge of the Liangzhou General Camp, my meritorious service is not an exaggeration. But what did I get in exchange?
A mere fourth-grade guard commander in charge of thousands of troops, harassing the Mang tribe as a ranger? Don’t you even have the opportunity and qualifications to participate deeply in the entire Northern Expedition? "
Jiang Lixiao asked, "Don't you think that I will accept all this calmly and without any complaints?"
"You, you did it on purpose!"
Qiu Tianhai felt a thorough chill.
"Of course not, but there is no need for me to change my plan and give up my gains and losses just because King Jing's strategy went wrong!"
Jiang Li said coldly: "Emperor Jing chose Jiang Shirong and Jiang Xuanluo, so he should bear all the consequences. How I do it must naturally be based on my own interests and choices.
Why should I sacrifice my own interests to pay for the mistakes of others, just because of the lives of hundreds of thousands of Zhou soldiers?
It was Emperor Jing, Jiang Shirong, and Jiang Xuanluo who pushed them into the abyss and death, not me! "
"you you……"
Qiu Tianhai was speechless.
He looked at the young man in front of him and realized once again that he had underestimated Jiang Li.
He may have never had any thoughts of rebelling against Zhou.
Even though he knew that he was a descendant of the former Qin royal family.
But he had no intention of swearing allegiance to Da Zhou.
Everything you do is based on your own will.
Anyone who betrays him will suffer the corresponding consequences.
Even Emperor Jing is no exception.
There is no imperial power in his heart, only a scale!
If the balance is tilted, Emperor Jing can still kill him!
Madman, devil!
Such people would be nothing more than warriors and ghosts and immortals who control absolute power.
But his abilities definitely don't stop there.
etc.
Since he didn't want to directly rescue the Liangzhou camp, why did he gather so much strength.
There are even soldiers from the Western Regions and the Tuoba Tribe!
Boom, boom
The earth in the distance began to shake, and it seemed that large armies were rushing towards the camp, very fast, but without any murderous intent.
"How many troops have you collected?"
"Jiang Li, you want to be independent!"
Qiu Tianhai finally understood.
Yes.
Emperor Jing betrayed Jiang Li.
Since he has not received the treatment he deserves for his continuous achievements, he has the strength and power to make Emperor Jing and Dazhou take him seriously.
"Master Hou, you are really wrong this time!"
Qiu Tianhai sighed. He really wanted to return to Shengjing and Zhenwu Marquis' Mansion now and tell the Marquis everything.
But there is no such chance!
The life essence and true Yang breath in his body had been completely exhausted, and they were all transformed into true essence pills by Jiang Li.
The body that looked like a god had long since withered.
When Jiang Li slowly withdrew the demon knife Rentu that had pierced Qiu Tianhai's body, the last vitality disappeared from the martial saint's body.
With worries about Mr. Hou.
Total demise.
