"After fifty years of life, things go by like a dream. Is there anyone in the world who lives forever?"
A shirtless man sat by the lakeside, cleaning his wounds and muttering to himself. In fact, with his level of cultivation, there is no need to clean the wound at all. It's just that he has developed such a habit since he was a child, and it is more like a meaningless little action.
His sword was casually placed aside. It was three feet and three inches long, like a clothes pole. It was a famous sword.
In Fenglinzhou, there is no such thing as a semi-immortal or a fairy. The so-called demon sword or famous sword is roughly equivalent to a semi-immortal, while a divine weapon is equivalent to an immortal. People who can use demon swords or famous swords are naturally not ordinary people.
He was the assassin leader who assassinated Qingwei Zhenren in Xiujing that day.
There are a total of eighteen assassins, all of whom are gods and humans. When gathered together, they can roam Fenglin Continent. As a result, thirteen people were killed, four escaped, and one was captured alive.
He was one of the four people who escaped, named Gui Shanxing, and he was also the person with the highest cultivation level among the eighteen people.
The Taoist sect did not let them go and sent out spiritual officers to hunt them down, including many second-grade spiritual officers. Not long ago, two more of the four people who escaped were discovered by the Taoist sect, and one was shot by the spiritual officers with dozens of sun-shooting blunderbuss. After being beaten into a sieve, one person chose to commit suicide.
The words that Gui Shanxing just said came from the mouth of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven back then.
There are immortal people in the world, but there is no immortal person.
The reason why he was so emotional was precisely because he saw the shadow of the Immortal in Master Qingwei. He even suspected that Master Qingwei was the Immortal, because only an immortal could make him so desperate.
Especially that sword.
Every time there was a flash of blood, someone fell to the ground.
He was also hit by a sword. Although he did not die, it left a penetrating wound on his chest, which has not healed yet. It is like a gangrene attached to the bone that cannot be broken away or shaken off.
Gui Shanxing originally had a death wish and would not hesitate to trade one life for another, but this sword made him realize the fact that even if he took his life, he could not do anything to the Taoist master Qingwei.
So he could only break his oath and choose to escape, so that he could be useful later.
Although he was no match for Master Qingwei, Master Qingwei couldn't put him to death in a short time even if he was determined to escape, and he actually allowed him to escape.
"Who?" Gui Shanxing suddenly grasped his sword and turned around.
Two spiritual officers wearing black armor came out. The complex talismans on the armor showed their identities - second-grade spiritual officers. Their status was equivalent to that of third-grade Youyi Taoist priests, but their strength was equivalent to the immeasurable stage.
Gui Shanxing was not in a hurry to draw his sword and said in the Chinese Mandarin: "You two alone are no match for me."
The two second-grade spiritual officers did not speak, but just raised the tall shields in their hands.
Gui Shanxing immediately realized one thing. The two spiritual officials did not expect to defeat him, but just wanted to hold him back.
Due to the sword wound on his body, his strength was no longer at its peak, at least it had dropped by one stage. It was basically impossible to deal with two second-grade spiritual officers holding large shields in a short period of time.
When Dao Sect designed the Lingguan, it was obvious that defense was higher than offense because of the armor. As for the means of attack, they used firearms to make up for it.
If the group of spiritual officers who had been dragged to the Dao Sect arrived and used various heavy firearms specifically targeting heavenly beings, he would surely be in a tough fight. If another Taoist master takes action, he will most likely perish here.
Thinking of this, Gui Shanxing turned around and left.
Naturally, the two spiritual officers would not let him leave easily. One raised their shields to the left and the other to hit Gui Shanxing.
At this moment, Gui Shanxing lightly stepped on the shield. With a little help, the whole person flew out like a meteor and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Secret Sword Feiyan.
This is the unique skill of Nigan Shingan Ryu, and Katsura Zenyuki is also the last swordsman of Nigan Shingan Ryu.
The bodies of the two spiritual officers suddenly sank, reaching their knees.
After a while, a large group of spiritual officers arrived, the lowest of which was a fourth-grade spiritual officer, holding a long sun-shooting blunderbuss. A single long-sun-shooting blunderbuss might not be able to do anything, but if hundreds of sun-shooting blunderbuss are gathered together, they can defeat the gods. Ordinary heavenly beings were put to death. However, these fourth-grade spiritual officers are only responsible for covering, and the real killing move comes from a group of third-grade spiritual officers.
】
As Gui Shanxing expected, the spiritual officers carried a special artillery, carried on the shoulders by four third-grade spiritual officers, which could fire the "Dragon Eyes A3" shaped like a flying sword, so this kind of artillery was also called "Hundred-step flying sword" does not mean that the range is only a hundred steps, but that within a hundred steps, the heavenly beings in the creation stage will be severely damaged, and the infinite stage The deity will be killed on the spot.
If Gui Shanxing is entangled with two second-grade spiritual officers, he will have to experience the power of "Dragon Eyes A3". Although it is not fatal, it can definitely cause him more injuries. The next thing is very simple. Since you can't kill him with one shot, then fire a few more shots until you are seriously injured and die. Anyway, the Taoist clan is very wealthy and doesn't care about a little peace money. What kind of swordsman is not a swordsman? If he dares to assassinate Qingwei Zhenren, one of the "Three Princes of the Taoist Sect", it is undoubtedly a death penalty. According to wartime regulations, once discovered, there is no need for trial or arrest, and they are directly executed.
The spiritual officials are here just to kill people.
This move seems unreasonable, but doesn't it show the overwhelming power of the real people? You are also a fake immortal. You don't have that level of identity, and you are not even qualified for a one-on-one private fight. As long as the real people give an order, they can use the power of the Taoist sect to crush opponents in the same realm to death.
This is one of the reasons why Qiniang made up her mind to let Qi Xuansu return to the Taoist sect to develop. There is no big future in the world, so what if she gets into the position of Wu Guangbi and others? It’s not that you have to rely on Taoism to survive.
This kind of pursuit has been carried out several times, and the remaining assassins have not been able to escape the clutches of the Taoist sect. During their escape, they were discovered, tracked, and killed by the Taoist sect's hunting spirit officers. The third assassin was killed last night. At that time, he was killed by two rounds of "Dragon Eyes A-3" and turned into a pile of rotten flesh. He was too dead to die. Only Gui Shanxing, the leader of the assassins, was still on the run.
We can't blame the spiritual officials for being incompetent. It's really because Gui Shanxing's cultivation level is too high. He is a genuine fake immortal. If he hadn't been seriously injured by Master Qingwei's sword and his cultivation level was greatly damaged, these spiritual officials wouldn't even pursue him. his qualifications.
As for why Master Qingwei didn't personally hunt down the Fenglinzhou swordsman, it was because he had more important things to do. A ghost-like pseudo-immortal was not worth taking too seriously.
Master Donghua once said that Qiniang was a troublesome person, and Master Cihang was afraid of Qiniang. It was definitely not because of Qiniang’s level of cultivation. She was just a pseudo-immortal. Even gods like Wu Luo were severely damaged by the Taoist sect and could not suppress a pseudo-immortal. ? Mainly because Qiniang was born in the Yao family, she was the younger sister of the Earth Master, and she was also a high-level member of Qibaofang and Qingping Society. She had a wide network of contacts and great energy. She was really determined to do something, and she could leverage a corner of the Taoist sect.
The same principle applies to Qi Xuansu. If he didn't have this level of Taoist status, it would be too easy to kill him. At worst, the "cook" and his like would take action personally and defeat the weak with the crowd. Class A member "Qing Shi Shi" can kill, but Class B member "Jin Cuo Dao" cannot kill? But Qi Xuansu has this Taoist identity, so that's different. If you want to kill him, you must either have enough cover, or use a borrowed knife to kill someone so that no one can find out; or you must seize the clue and follow the rules and procedures to punish him.
Neither of these is simple.
At this time, Master Qingwei had left Hidekyo and came to Kuraki County in Musashi Province. This was a peninsula that protruded outwards, forming an inland sea with only one strait for entry and exit.
There is a port named Kanazawa in the southernmost part of Kuragi County. It has been blocked by Daomen and has become the military port of Donghai Navy.
In addition to Qingwei Zhenren, Da Zhenren, the head of Fenglinzhou Daofu, the military affairs officer of Donghai Navy, the Taizheng minister representing the Fenglinzhou court, and the chief laozhong representing the Toyotomi family also appeared here. port.
The other entourage, including Taoist priests, great Xuanwu officials, famous ministers, etc., were even more numerous.
"coming!"
Someone shouted, and thick smoke appeared on the line between the sea and the sky.
Then a towering giant ship made of metal appeared in everyone's field of vision, growing from small to large, and gradually became clear. It completely abandoned the sails and replaced them with huge and towering chimneys. Terrible naval gun.
Ironclad ship!
As the armored ship got closer and closer, its shock became greater and greater. It was so majestic and huge that those sailing ships in Fenglinzhou were like babies in front of adults.
The people present in Fenglinzhou let out various exclamations and were greatly shocked.
Among them is Toyotomi Chiyo, the younger sister of the previous generation Guan Bai.
She has a noble status and is respectfully called "Princess". Because of her brother's favor, she not only did not marry, she even entered Fenglinzhou Taoist Mansion and became a female Taoist priest. After her brother's sudden death, some people tried to take advantage of her, but because of the protection of Fenglinzhou Taoist House, they all failed.
Toyotomi Chiyo is deeply influenced by Taoist philosophy. She is no longer like a traditional Fenglinzhou daughter, but more like a Taoist female crown. She usually dresses up as a female Taoist priest, speaks the Mandarin of the Central Plains, and can recite various Taoist classics. She is the most admired The person is Zhang Yuelu.
Because of her special status, Master Qingwei regarded her as a symbol of friendship between Prime Minister Toyotomi and Fenglinzhou Daofu, so she was specially invited here.
This is a complete fleet.
Soon, the frontmost ironclad ship docked. Then a portal opened in its "belly", the size of a city gate, and then slowly dropped down like a suspension bridge on a moat, connecting to the trestle of the pier.
Toyotomi Chiyo stood on tiptoe and looked.
Then he subconsciously covered his mouth.
In this era of prosperous firearms, there were actually cavalry, and they were large groups of cavalry.
It is also black armor, but it is different from Lingguan's armor. The latter's armor has a smooth surface with few edges and corners, making it easy to burn various talismans. The former is just the opposite, with edges and corners everywhere, even giving people a ferocious feeling.
There are no gaps in the whole body, and it is all wrapped in armor. The cold, deep black luster is suffocating.
This is the famous Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry.
