Chapter 49: The Power of the Divine Sword (5th Update, 4300 words)
Contemporary Confucian saint name Lu An, the word Chengping, one hundred and nineteen years old, born during the period of King Xiao of the An Dynasty, originally an ordinary Confucian student, because of the chance encounter of a seriously injured knight when he went to Beijing to catch the exam, after reaching out to help, he got his practice inheritance.
Lu Chengping's talent is ordinary, and he didn't take martial arts very seriously at the beginning, just as a means to increase his spirit and assist in reading, after all, he stayed up all night and read the sage books wholeheartedly, in order to cultivate himself and level the world, not to be a martial artist who can only dance the three-foot sword in his hand.
With his own talents, Lu Chengping has the confidence to become a jinshi, serve the country, be benevolent to the people, govern the water and soil, and become a good official who is loved by the people...... At least that's what he thought at the time.
That year is the second year of Yongning, the filial piety king has not been gone for a long time, the new emperor revitalized the dynasty, opened Enke, selected talents, Lu Chengping said goodbye to his wife and children who had just given birth for a long time, bid farewell to the old mother at home, and bowed down several times in the ancestral ancestral hall on the incense, and then traveled with luggage.
Along the way, he felt quite strange, first of all, almost all of the cars and horses on the road were going to Nantianjing, but there was no flow of people leaving from Nantianjing, and there were teams of black-armored janissaries patrolling the checkpoints and docks along the way, as if they were supervising something.
Lu Chengping was still a Confucian at the time, and his martial arts cultivation was not good, but he could also see that which forbidden troops basically had quite strange 'qi'...... How so? Unlike people, those qi are more similar to plants, and vaguely reveal a strange sense of danger to him.
At that time, Lu Chengping was not as sharp as he is now, and his heart and eyes were clear, although he felt wrong, he still got on the official ship and began the journey to Nantianjing by waterway - the so-called sense of danger is estimated to be the prestige of the government, after all, who is not afraid of these armored sergeants?
Because it is a ferry opened by the government, there are naturally guards on board, and the atmosphere on the ship is very strange, both the crew and the guards look at them with strange and smiling eyes, and the enthusiasm is not like that of ordinary official ships - he thought it was a preferential treatment for students who were rushing to take the exam, and he was quite complacent.
Until that day.
"I'm so thirsty."
On the day when he could already see Nan Tianjing from afar, Lu Chengping heard a guard make such an extremely depressed voice that seemed to be unbearable anymore: "No, I'll eat one...... Just eat one! ”
When Lu Chengping heard this, he wanted to chuckle, thinking that these martial artists really couldn't do it, and he couldn't bear it...... But what does he want to eat? Fruit?
Thinking briskly about the whole question, he saw that the guard, whose voice had become more hoarse and strange, pounced on one of the merchants in the next moment, opened his mouth, and bit the other man's neck!
Boom - vines flying, roots spread, the merchant wanted to scream, but in an instant there was no breath - and under Lu Chengping's extremely frightened and stunned gaze, the merchant's body immediately turned into skin and bones in the flesh and blood wriggling, and the aura on the guard's body soared, and then began to slowly transform into wood qi, merging into the heaven and earth.
Immediately afterwards, there was a carnival - "Zhang Lao Er has eaten one, let's eat it too!" "Anyway, as long as you send enough back, it's enough, steal a few and no one cares." "Eat, eat, hahaha!"
Lu Chengping didn't remember very well how he escaped from this malicious and murderous official ship and rushed back to his hometown in despair, he only knew that at that time, he couldn't kill even a demon soldier with all his strength, even if he escaped, he was very reluctant, the other party just didn't bother to go into the water to chase him, and released a few arrows from afar.
"No, this world is going to be chaotic!" Lu Chengping, who was incognito and planned to return to his hometown, was extremely frightened, he saw that the towns along the way were lit with beacon fires, and a team of people with a strange atmosphere rushed into the city, and then the whole city sounded shouting and crying - seeing this, even a fool knows that this day is going to change, and why is it changing, why is the world suddenly changing in the three generations of Chengping without any foreign enemies...... The Book of Sages never teaches this.
He doesn't understand.
Worried about his hometown's old mother, wife and young son, Lu Chengping galloped all the way, but the manpower was too slow, he only hated that he disdained to practice martial arts back then, and he didn't carefully study light skills, but what is the use of regretting it now?
By the time he returned to his hometown, it had long since burned out into ruins.
Corpses, ruins, blackened bones, scattered limbs, fragments of skulls that have been chopped down or even trampled on...... How could Lu Chengping not know what had happened to this still thriving town? He just couldn't believe it, Lu Chengping howled angrily and ran to his house, where everything had been turned into ruins, he picked up the collapsed bricks and stones, the man didn't want to find anything, he just wanted to see nothing, so he could lie to himself and tell himself that they had fled here and didn't ......
And yet he found it.
Two charred and shrunken female corpses that had been scorched by the heat, and small corpses that had been thrown in a corner at random, as if they had been trampled to pieces.
Who is it?
More than 70 years have passed, and Lu Chengping, who is already gray-haired, still has a deep memory of that moment...... The king led the beasts to eat people, and led the beasts to eat people! What Meng Sheng had said, he didn't really understand until then.
The family is ruined, the country is destroyed, the society is dead, the world is vegetarian, who is the chest learning to report to? What is self-cultivation, peace and peace?
Who and how can they pacify this world that has been plagued by demons?
Bang! Above the sky, thunder exploded, and the tall contemporary Confucian stood on the bow of a true qi airship, the wind mixed with the torrential rain blowing on his clothes, just like those days when he ran wildly in the wind and rain many years ago.
The cold and damp rain reminded Confucius of his most painful memories of the year, shaking his head slightly, he woke up from his memory, and then looked around.
The engines roared, the propellers danced, and a total of twelve huge True Qi Flying Ships were flying under the clouds, with a loud sound.
Between the rolling clouds, the pouring rain fell from the gray-black rain clouds like a curtain of water, and on the twelve True Qi Flying Ships, dense figures with internal qi breath stood on the edge of the ships, looking down at the huge checkpoint below them, and the ships and soldiers on the other side of the river, who also began to gather.
Nanjiang Tianguan.
Nearly eighty years later.
The Confucian saint Lu Chengping once again embarked on the journey to Nantianjing - together with 120,000 righteous soldiers, 1,124 acquired martial artists, 17 grandmasters and three other great grandmasters, embarked on a journey called 'Acting for the Heavenly Path' and 'Pacifying the World'!
And this time, what he has to do is to burn the city and the demon tree, as well as the demon emperor who has already fallen into the Infernal Demon Path, all of them!
"-Emperor-Wudao!"
I could hear that on the opposite side of the riverbank, in the midst of the neat army, the roar of a warrior sounded: "- the common people - the charcoal!" ”
In the next moment, on the twelve True Qi Sky Ships, a voice echoing the slogan below sounded.
"-Our Hundred Schools--On behalf of the Heavenly Path--Seek Demons and Eliminate Rebellion!"
In the distance, you can see that on the Nanjiang Sky Pass, there are demon soldiers gathering, a series of city defense equipment are pushed up the wall, and one after another warships are also released from the city entrance of the checkpoint, confronting the hundred righteous troops across the river, they are also shouting slogans, and there are also demon generals who control the spirit plant demon beasts to rise into the sky, to go to block the march of these twelve true qi empty ships.
But their sound is just too small, too small, too inaudible.
At this moment, the shouts of 100,000 righteous soldiers shook the sky: "After that, the world will be peaceful, and the times will be in turmoil, and all the people of this world will be peaceful——"
Whew——On the four core True Qi Sky Ships, four internal qi aura suddenly lit up, which was the inner qi aura of the four great grandmasters, and their strength was like a clarion call to guide the attack, igniting the flames of war in an instant!
"Reopen! Taiping! ”
"Fire!" The voice of the Dao Saint was like thunder, and the violent sound waves danced with the gale, spreading throughout the battlefield: "Let go of the bomb!" ”
With this command, the lower ends of the twelve True Qi Sky Ships all revealed a gap, and one after another huge shuttle-shaped iron bullets fell straight down with a roar that broke through the air, and fell towards the top of the Nanjing Tianguan!
Rumble! At the moment when the iron bullet fell and shattered, countless red-white phosphorus powder burst out like this, and then, a pure fire spirit power jumped up at the core of the projectile, and suddenly all the flames within a radius of tens of meters were ignited, bringing dazzling fire and scorching heat!
Dozens, hundreds of phosphorus fire iron bullets fell, smashed down on the originally impregnable Nanjiang Tianguan, and in an instant, the entire level was turned into a forest of flames, and the dazzling flames endured even in the torrential rain, bringing countless demon soldiers to howl miserably!
Even, not only that—in the positions along the river, dozens of trebuchets and several times as many true qi cannons were raised in the hundred positions, although these trebuchets were called stone throwers, but this time they were not loaded with large stones that were enough to destroy the city wall, but instead carried some vessels containing black viscous liquid.
The moment the trebuchet was ignited by the flames at the Nanjiang Tianguan, it was also thrown at the same time, bombarding the hundreds of cans of black liquid on the ships of the demon army—and then, the true qi cannon bombarded, and the phosphorus fire exploded, and the same fire spirit qi exploded, and the entire river began to burn fiercely, turning half of the river into a raging purgatory!
For a while, in the raging hell, only the screams of the demon army begging for death resounded on the battlefield...... But all this did not stop the rebels from attacking wildly, but more like the sound of war drums that made them frenzied forward!
On top of the burning world, in the roar of the boiling Nanjiang River, the Hundred Righteous Army launched the final war against the Demon Dynasty, and the warriors took the huge flying warship driven by the True Qi Casting Furnace to drop the burning phosphorus fire, pouring black fuel oil, and turning the entire Nanjiang Tianguan into a sea of fire in an instant!
They came for revenge, for righteousness, and for the peace of eternity, and vowed to turn the entire Xinnan Tianjing and the Immortal Banyan of the Divine Tree into ashes together!
But even so, the Demon Dynasty is not without means of resistance...... With angry shouts, accompanied by the shaking of the jungle after the Tianguan in Nanjing, the unusually tall trees wriggled and plucked their roots, turned into huge banyan giants, and strode towards the front line - these thirty-meter-tall banyan giants were clinging to wooden centipedes, like living armor, they pulled up the trunks of trees along the way, and with a single cut of their palms, they sharpened them into sharp wooden spears.
Then, these giant demon generals born from the power of the Divine Tree aimed their wooden spears at the True Qi Sky Ships high in the sky, and they swung vigorously and bombarded the sky, intending to smash those annoying flying ships that released a sea of fire to the ground!
In such a battlefield filled with flames, demonic energy, and strange demon spirit plants, Su Sun stood at the forefront of an airship, in the wind whistling with the propellers, in the thunder that constantly flickered in the clouds in the sky, and in the ticking sound of the torrential rain falling on the deck, his blue and purple vertical pupils scanned the earth.
The demon hunter smiled silently.
In this storm, he could hear countless voices, whether it was the roar of the Hundred Righteous Army's imposing battle roars, or the strict orders of the Demon Army, he could hear them all, all of this information gathered in his mind, and finally allowed Su Sun to perceive all the movements without 'looking'.
"Watch out for the impact!"
As soon as his ears moved, Su Sun turned his head, his eyes pierced through the clouds and rainstorm, and saw the danger that was coming—Su Sun loudly announced to the warriors behind him: "We are going to prepare to land!" ”
And in the next moment, a huge wooden spear soared from behind the Tianguan, it was like a sharp thorn that rose to the sky, about to poke a hole in the clouds, and with a strong wind, it galloped towards the flying ship where Su Sun was!
The outer layer of the True Qi Sky Ship, the huge Lan Wind Pattern suddenly lit up, and the shield that was originally used to block the high-altitude wind was certainly shattered under the bombardment of the wooden spear, but it also deviated the accuracy of the wooden spear, causing it to pass by the air ship - after an instant, at the order of Su Sun, the huge flying air ship took up a dangerous arc, like a large meteorite, and fell downward!
Immediately afterwards, the other eleven flying ships that had finished throwing fire bombs followed the flying ship where Su Sun was, carrying thousands of warriors, and landed at an angle in unison!
However, before the airship landed, there was already a figure jumping directly from a height of hundreds of meters - Su Sun stretched out his arms, laughed and jumped directly from the top of the skyship, his body lit up with a blue and purple Lan shield, and the power of the wind helped, not only did not slow down the speed of his fall, but accelerated, and the speed of his fall was rapidly accelerated!
Fall with the rain, even faster than the rain, faster than the wind!
It can be seen that the place where Su Sun pounced was a huge banyan giant, this banyan giant had just thrown a wooden spear, and was looking for a suitable big tree on the ground at this time, ready to continue throwing and bombarding, but suddenly, its heart, which had become stiff due to assimilation with the giant tree, suddenly sounded the alarm bell.
The giant looked up, and it was stunned to see a small figure stumbling down towards him, one hand pressed to his waist, pressed against the hilt of a divine sword that shone with fire and thunder.
Su Sun looked at the shocked Rongmu giant, he felt the rushing wind and torrent around him, and held the divine knife that could kill the immortal and call for thunder and fire, he showed a hideous smile at the familiar, huge but 'weak' figure in front of him.
"The Magic General—"
Time seemed to stand still, and only the light of the sword like thunder and flame passed in a flash.
Rumble! The divine knife was sheathed, and Su Sun landed on the ground with the roar of the ground collapsing, even with the help of the wind, he directly smashed a half-meter-deep pit on the muddy ground!
Behind him, a golden-red line of fire appeared on the body of the huge banyan giant—the next moment, the line of fire exploded, and the banyan giant burned in a terrible wail, turning into a torch!
After that, a huge True Qi Sky Ship fell in the wind, crushing the burning corpse of the Banyan Giant to the bottom of the ship, crushing it into powder!
"Hurry up."
Su Sun laughed, he picked up a dark green ghast in one hand, and then swallowed it in one gulp—the Demon Devourer Lord urged the warriors behind him who were constantly jumping from the empty boat: "Our goal is to rush to the Cloud Heavenly Palace and slaughter the Dog Emperor!" ”
"The Divine Sword can't wait to drink the blood of the Demon Emperor!"
