Zhang Xiaoyu stared blankly at the many sword cultivators retreating towards Nanyi City with the sword light, as well as countless people pouring out of the green mountains.
Although it was already night, there was skylight falling from the solitary peak in the distance and sword light spreading in all directions nearby. It was possible to clearly see the scene on the entire land between Nanyi City and Daze.
Not only were human soldiers clashing, there were also many witches, ghosts and Taoists mixed in there.
In each small formation of a thousand people, there will be dozens of wizards and ghosts at the rear, chanting witchcraft, blessing the soldiers, and delaying the departure of the Lingnan sword cultivators.
This is the most classic advancement tactic on the land on the other side of Daze.
When Huai'an was in Li Asan's hands, he had also learned from them. There were many people from Taoist sects mixed in the army, so the two were naturally not as simple as one plus one.
It's a pity that after Kamigawa, both the spiritual world and the human world have experienced a long development.
I thought that this kind of promotion strategy that combined the secular world and the spiritual world had long been forgotten by the world.
Unexpectedly, I could see it here again.
Fortunately, those outside the city today are not secular troops, but serious sword cultivators.
Someone turned into sword light and fell behind. While attacking the advancing formations, they were covering the retreat of many sword cultivators.
After Zhang Xiaoyu came back to his senses, he sat on the top of the city, dressed in white clothes, raised his hand and pointed under the sword grid of Parrot Island, and then the Taoist rhyme poured out from his body, turning into Taoist inscriptions and branded on the sword. On the body, it suddenly slid towards the tip of the sword, and thousands of inscriptions fell on the sword body.
Then he pointed his finger in front of him and silently recited the sword formula.
Although the Parrot Island was not defeated, mountains and rivers appeared faintly around the long sword. The long sword turned into sword light from the mountains and rivers, passing through the still dark green mountains outside the city extremely brightly, and shot towards The edge of the great swamp.
The sword light enveloped the mountains and rivers of Taoism, and it was naturally all-powerful. In an instant, many of the shaman and ghost arts that were surging around the swamp were broken by that sword. Many sword cultivators trapped in it accelerated their speed and headed towards Nanyi City. And go.
The long sword has been dragging its tail light on the edge of the swamp, cutting through many witchcrafts, and the mountains and rivers of the sword body have gradually dimmed.
The wizards who followed Bingjia also noticed the existence of this clear sword.
So many witchcraft and ghost arts all fell on that sword.
Naturally, Zhang Xiaoyu would not be stupid enough to resist those attacks. The long sword swung in the swamp, and then suddenly turned into a stream of light and fell back into his hand.
The blade of the sword was blazing red.
A faint flame was already burning on the surface.
Zhang Xiaoyu directly caught the hilt of the sword, and Daoyun covered it, so the blazing heat was instantly extinguished like water.
Fortunately, the sword body was still intact, otherwise Zhang Xiaoyu would be embarrassed to return it to Nan Dao if it was burned like the Peach Blossom Sword.
Although most of those wizards are in the minor witch realm, there are naturally many great witches who are equivalent to the minor realm.
Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly became eye-catching, and naturally he would no longer be as ostentatious as before.
However, it also successfully attracted a lot of attention from those Lingnan sword cultivators.
But in the green mountains of the vast swamp, there are still soldiers and armors pouring out.
Looking from the top of Nanyi City, the entire land is like a sugar cake covered with ants. Many ants are still running, and some have their legs stuck to the syrup, so they fell to the ground and never crawled again. stand up.
But fortunately, the Lingnan sword cultivators responded in time. As soon as they saw the thousands of troops, they began to retreat towards Nanyi City. Therefore, among both sides, there were only a few who actually came to the point of close combat. .
Zhang Xiaoyu's brows relaxed a little, and he finally raised his head to look at the sky where the sword lights of the sword sect brothers had gone.
What happened there?
It's a pity that after the sword light disappeared into the mist and clouds in the distance, it disappeared again.
Zhang Xiaoyu stood at the top of the city with his sword in hand, looking over there against the cold night wind.
It seems that some fluctuations of sword intent can be faintly felt.
But very far away.
Zhang Xiaoyu stared at it for a while, then finally lowered his head and looked at the ground again.
The Lingnan sword cultivators have retreated to the green mountains outside the city.
Once here, even if they haven't entered Nanyi City yet, the threat from the advancement of the Witch Ghost Soldiers is much smaller.
The view outside Nanyi City is naturally wide.
However, there are many small green hills in the surrounding area. This kind of terrain is naturally the most suitable place for individual combat for sword cultivators.
What's more, the rear is conveniently backed by Nanyi City, and support from the city is much faster than from Daze.
So when those southern soldiers crossed the messy taro sea and stopped in front of those green mountains, they also slowly stopped.
Those armored soldiers are all black.
It is the garrison stationed on the other side of the endless deep ocean all year round.
When they stopped in front of Nanyi City's Qingshan in darkness, they looked quite imposing.
Zhang Xiaoyu frowned. He had been paying attention to the number of black armored soldiers.
However, so far, only about 300,000 people have appeared here.
So where's the remaining half a million?
Zhang Xiaoyu naturally wouldn't think that only 300,000 yuan came.
The endless deep ocean is over there in Nanchu.
Therefore, he has a close relationship with the witches of Nanchu, and there is no possibility that when those shamans who are ready to make a move plan to cross the swamp, they will only come with 300,000.
Either they don’t come, or they all come.
So where did the remaining half a million go?
Zhang Xiaoyu turned his head to look at the Youhuang Mountains with a solemn expression.
The distant but extremely majestic mountain range stands to the west of Nanyi City.
Or did they choose to cross the Youhuang Mountains like Li Asan did?
But Li Asan’s army back then.
Strictly speaking, it is the prototype of the current 300,000 Qingjia.
It is an existence that encompasses the most pinnacle craftsmanship in Huaian.
Zhang Xiaoyu didn't believe that Huang Liang's black armors could jump down from that high mountain and jump directly into Nanyi City.
So where are they?
...
The story goes back a quarter of an hour.
When Yao Ji was still standing on the cliff with the man with the sword stuck in his heart.
A long cross-country transmission began in this green mountain of Daze.
The first landing point was on the other side of Yunmengze, and the last landing point was in Daze Mountain outside Nanyi City.
And all the landing points in the middle are in the sky hanging high above the green mountains.
A scholar named Ziyuan held the scroll and leaned quietly on the edge of the rock on the solitary peak of the mountain. He tilted his head and looked quietly at the advancing formation that kept flickering in the clouds and mist below.
It was a complete crossing route from one end of Daze to the other.
Those figures from Huangliang landed at the previous landing point. Before they could fall into the clouds, they were suddenly sent away by the next crossing formation.
Extremely fast.
Originally this should be impossible.
The landing point of the Yue Xing Grand Formation naturally needs to be practical.
But this is Wushan.
The location of the ancient Chu Wu ghost and god sect.
Coupled with the resurrected goddess, the power of the Styx is naturally so strong that it can carry those large formations out of thin air.
It was originally according to what Wugui Dao thought.
The Sword Sect will naturally come to Qingshan Daze to find a place to stay, but when Young Master Wubei and others also appear in Daze, they will naturally not dare to use the sword light to travel.
Without the sword light, he would never reach the sky, and naturally he would not find the landing point of these crossing formations.
It stands to reason that this is the case.
However, such a large-scale transmission, the power of the diffuse Styx, even after it was scattered from the sky to the human world, there was still a lot of movement.
It was this kind of movement that aroused suspicion among the senior brothers who were searching in the green mountains and rivers.
So a certain senior brother, after hesitating for a long time, took a gamble and turned into sword light and headed towards the sky.
During this period, this move was naturally attacked by countless great witches hiding in the green mountains.
But the reason why a senior brother is a senior brother.
Because they are disciples of the Human Sword Sect.
If they weren't worried about the existence of the spirit witches in Qingshan, they wouldn't be hiding like this.
So the senior brother transformed into a sword light, killed several great witches, and left in style.
Then many senior brothers also guessed his thoughts.
But they also headed towards the sky together.
This was the scene that everyone in Nanyi City saw before.
The story that follows is what the scholar Ziyuan saw out of boredom.
A group of senior brothers turned into sword lights and quickly passed through the cover of the green mountains and clouds, and appeared at the place where the crossing formation was.
He used his sword very simply to cut off the witch mark connection at that point.
This also resulted in the subsequent black armors not having time to appear on Daze's side.
The Sword Sect brothers fought quickly, picked up their swords, struck and ran away.
By the time Young Master Wubei, Chen Nu and others arrived, they had already fallen back into the green mountains and swamps like scattered stars.
Ziyuan just held the book and tilted his head and looked at it, saying nothing or doing nothing, just like sitting on the shore watching the scene of jumping fish after a rain.
From Ziyuan's height, the scene really looked like a jumping fish.
The sky was as bright as rain, and the clouds and mist turned into water.
So the fish suddenly jumped up, flicked their tails and fell down again.
So Ziyuan laughed as he watched.
This was in sharp contrast to the ugly faces of the two spiritual wizards Chen Nu and Shu He who arrived later.
The more Ziyuan read, the more interesting it became, so he put the scroll and pen aside, stood on the vine bridge, lowered his head and quietly watched the subsequent developments.
Perhaps he felt that this would be a loss of face.
Huang Liang's three spirit shaman figures quickly pursued in different directions in the clouds and mist.
And soon, at the spot where the witch marks originally left by Shan Lai appeared next to the damaged Yuexing Formation, a great witch from Southern Chu appeared.
It's just that I haven't had time to repair the damaged witch marks.
But another sword light appeared in the clouds and mist.
Before the spirit witch could react, he passed directly between his eyebrows.
When Ziyuan saw this, he was stunned for a moment. He followed the direction of the sword light and landed on a sword cultivator walking slowly at the foot of Qingshan Mountain in Daze. He smiled softly and said, "Interesting .”
...
Huai Min stood calmly on the mountain path for a while, until the long sword fell into its sheath from the sky, and then he walked forward quietly.
However, the next moment, he looked warily towards the sky.
Just when the sword came back, Youdao's eyes also fell on the green mountain.
Huai Min was silent for a while, as if he understood where that look came from.
So he pretended that he didn't see anything, lowered his head and walked forward quietly on the mountain road.
At the same time, Young Master Wubei, who was walking on the top of the green mountain, suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
To be precise, not above the sky.
Just above the green hills.
Those places where the sky's light pours in, guarded by thousands of mountains.
"Ziyuan..."
Young Master Wubei said softly.
...
The Lingnan sword cultivators have settled down in the green hills outside the city, and the black armors have stopped outside the mountain. Although there are not many sword cultivators along the river leading to Nanyi City, many sword cultivators in the mountains naturally don't know how to do it. Let them pass through the Nanyi River like this.
Qu Shaming and the others did not return to Nanyi City.
After all, they were serious sword cultivators in the Qinglian realm, so they naturally did not need to stay away from the center of the battlefield like Zhang Xiaoyu.
The three of them looked back at Zhang Xiaoyu who was on top of the city. Although the latter was far away from the city, the sword light attached with Taoism was not inferior to the others. It was just double casting, which naturally consumed more energy. It's more serious, so he has already sat down at the top of the city to absorb vitality to fill the divine sea.
"I don't know how the other senior brothers are doing." Qu Shaming said slightly worriedly.
Nan Dequ looked into the green mountains of Daze and said slowly: "If it's just Young Master Wubei, there won't be any big problem."
"Just now we have seen that among those people of the Witch and Ghost Path, only a very small number are from the Northern Witch Path, and most of them are Southern Chu witches. Since there are so many Southern Chu witches, then naturally there will also be Southern Chu spirits. The arrival of the witch." Mei Quming said, holding two swords and leaning against a tree.
"The entire Huangliang spirit witches are actually mainly concentrated in Xuanxuyuan." Nan Dequ said calmly, "As long as nothing happens to Dean Qingxiang, the pressure Nanyi City will face is actually not that big."
"I heard that he has left Nanyi City for a long time. There has been no news for so long. I guess something happened, but it is not serious enough to bring down the hundreds of xuanxieyuan in Huangliang. Out of control."
Qu Shaming said softly.
Mei Quming laughed and said: "If this is true, it is indeed good or bad news. I hope his old man will not be killed in Huangliangyin. Although the spirit wizards in Xuansheyuan are not good at learning, they can't stand them. There’s a lot of people.”
The three of them did not doubt that Qing Xiang would be on Huang Liang's side.
Although he is a serious demon.
But he built the Huai'an Avenue, which has always been inconsistent with the way of witches and ghosts. Otherwise, he would not have stayed in Nanyi City for so many years.
The three of them chatted for a while, then looked at the black armors gradually gathering at the edge of the river.
"It seems that Huaimin and the others have found a certain landing point." Mei Quming said softly, "otherwise they wouldn't hesitate here."
The three of them looked at the sky above Daze.
After those sword lights surged into the sky, no more black ants emerged from the swamp.
The miles of green hills outside the city have also become the last barrier to Nanyi City.
"But we can't keep dragging it on like this." Qu Shaming said softly, "We have to move to reduce the pressure on them."
Nan Dequ looked at Qu Shaming and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Let's go to the rear and let the Lingnan sword cultivators disperse their formations with hundreds and thousands of people." Qu Shaming thought for a while and said, "Disperse their formations as much as possible. The smaller the number, the more advantage we have." .”
Mei Quming nodded and said, "Okay."
So many sword lights circulated in the green mountains, and then shot towards the rear of the black-armored camp.
Of course, it is not just Mei Quming and the other three who can transform into sword light.
It will naturally be possible after you achieve enlightenment.
It's just that the strength of the sword's intention is quite obvious.
Zhang Xiaoyu was far above the city. He opened his eyes and saw the restless flow of people in the green hills outside the city, as well as the sword light flying out of the green mountains. He probably guessed what the senior brothers wanted to do.
So he stood on top of the city again, his white clothes fluttering, and the Taoist sword technique once again carried the sword intention away.
After a brief silence outside Nanyi City, they fell into the second confrontation.
Those sword lights suddenly fell into the witch ghost camp behind the army, and figures emerged one after another, raising their swords and heading towards the witch ghosts.
Mei Quming was surrounded by two swords, and his sword intent was like a screen. However, he directly ignored the many witchcraft directed at him and headed towards those at the back who were using ghost magic.
Because ghost arts are generally more powerful, but the techniques are long and cumbersome, so no matter what time, you always stand at the farthest place.
Mei Quming's two swords shuttled around him, cutting a path of blood. He stepped on the sword wind and passed directly through the wizards. In order to save his energy, he didn't even use other means. He just wrapped up the sword intention and left, and then stopped at those wizards. Still in front of everyone chanting ghost arts.
With a sneer, he raised his hand to hold a sword, and then his figure suddenly became illusory. The three-foot sword, with its mighty sword intent, slashed directly at those people.
However, just like the classic showdown between Young Master Wubei and his senior brother.
People who practice ghost arts are often good at the art of transcendence.
Therefore, when the sword fell, there were traces of witches appearing together, and then appeared surrounded by heavy armies.
Mei Quming originally wanted to talk about martial ethics.
Just think about it carefully, others have come to your doorstep.
What kind of martial ethics are you talking about?
Without thinking much, he directly raised his hand to hold the second sword, then turned around and slashed out with both swords.
Qu Shaming was not far away, but she was silent for a while now. Watching Mei Quming's two swords slash into the crowd, she said slowly: "Senior brother, what kind of sword is this?"
Mei Quming held both swords in his hands, holding a sword flower upside down in his hands. He looked at Qu Shaming and said calmly: "Maybe it's called double swords?"
Qu Shaming was stunned for a moment, then raised the sword in his hand and said, "Maybe it is indeed the name, but senior brother, didn't you notice one thing?"
Mei Quming was stunned and said, "What?"
"Whose sword are you holding?"
Mei Quming looked down and realized something was wrong. It turned out that one of the swords was Qu Shaming's sword.
"...Sorry, I got the wrong one." Mei Quming laughed awkwardly and threw the sword back to Qu Shaming, but was stunned again.
Because what Qu Shaming was holding was not his own sword.
"What kind of sword is that of yours?"
"I don't know either, I just took it casually."
"..."
