This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 564 Emerging into Immortality
January 2, the first year of Yuanxing.

Lan Yu returned to Moyun City with his hunter team.

On January 1, after the news spread that the Northern Barbarian King Borhu had died in battle, the chief of the Tianyan tribe had died in battle, and the sacred tree of the Wuri tribe had been cut down, hundreds of thousands of Northern Barbarian troops on the northern front began to retreat.

The hundreds of thousands of Northern Barbarian warriors who had already entered Beichuan Province became abandoned!
After arriving in Beichuan Province, the northern expedition army composed of 100,000 elite imperial guards quickly began to encircle and suppress the northern barbarian warriors in the territory.

Without subsequent continuous support, the fate of these hundreds of thousands of Northern Barbarian warriors was doomed.

Lan Yu and other hunter teams completed their missions and were recalled one after another.

Because too many teammates died at the hands of the Northern Barbarians, Lan Yu and others took the initiative to apply to participate in the subsequent encirclement and suppression campaign.

So it wasn't until a month later that Lan Yu led the team back to the North.

Returning to the familiar city, Lan Yu was filled with mixed emotions.

Many times before, he thought he would never come back.

After returning to the base, he planned to take his brothers to relax.

"Who is Lan Yu?"

A man in military uniform with shoulder straps indicating he was a 12th-level military attaché walked over here and asked.

Lan Yu quickly stood up and saluted:

"Sir, I am Lan Yu."

The surrounding soldiers also stood up and saluted.

A military officer of level 12 is already a lieutenant general in the army. If he has real power, he can be a big man who can lead soldiers!

The visitor looked at him, a smile appeared on his face, and he returned the greeting very politely:
"I am Tao Ming from the Shaman Army. Brother Lan Yu, please come with me. Our commander wants to see you."

Lan Yu felt hot in his heart when he heard this.

He was just a warrior in the Body Breaking Stage, but was promoted to a Level 8 military officer because of his superb spear skills.

How could I have deserved such courtesy from a lieutenant general?

And the other party’s superior wants to see me?

All this could only be related to one person.

A golden figure appeared in his mind.

"Kill the Barbarians"

Lan Yu was a little excited: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Then he followed Tao Ming and left amid the envious gazes of his comrades.

"Master Tao."

"Haha, you don't have to be polite, Brother Lan. I've heard of the famous 'Gun King' before. Just call me by my name."

"Okay, Brother Tao!"

"Haha."

"May I ask which lord wants to see me?"

Lan Yu asked cautiously but expectantly.

Tao Ming looked at him with a bit of envy in his eyes, and whispered:

"Brother Lan, did you meet the Marquis when you were fighting in Beichuan Province before?"

really!

Lan Yu felt certain.

The one who killed the barbarian army only referred to him as the 'Marquis'!
He suppressed his excitement and nodded, "Yes, our team encountered a large group of northern barbarians. We thought we were doomed, but luckily, Jing'an Hou happened to pass by there and saved us and killed those northern barbarians!"

He had already reported this military intelligence and was summoned by many senior generals in the Northern Expedition Army for this.

Today, the people from the Killing Barbarian Army came to find him, and Marquis Jing'an was the commander-in-chief of the Killing Barbarian Army.

Lan Yu couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

"No wonder, Brother Lan is so lucky!"

Tao Ming exclaimed.

"Could it be that the Marquis wants to see me?"

Lan Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha."

Tao Ming laughed and patted his shoulder, "The Marquis is in seclusion and has not shown up in the past month."

"what"

Lan Yu showed a disappointed look and said with a wry smile, "Yes, I thought too much. How could the Marquis specially see a small person like me?"

Tao Ming looked at him and said, "Brother Lan, there is no need to underestimate yourself. Although the person who met you today is not the Marquis, he has a close relationship with the Marquis!"

"what?"

"She is the Marquis's sister, Li Tianyu, the commander of our Killing Barbarian Army!"

Tao Ming said.

The commander is a military officer of level 14, and can command up to people. He is already a truly powerful general in the army.

The step from lieutenant general to commander is also known as "leaping over the dragon gate" in the military!
Li Fei asked Li Tianyu to take charge of the Killing Barbarian Army on his behalf, but it was impossible for him to directly promote Li Tianyu, who had not made many military achievements, to a position second only to himself.

Therefore, at the beginning, he was only given the rank of Lieutenant General who matched the opponent's Daoji period combat capability.

Now Li Tianyu has been promoted to commander, one reason is that he has made military achievements in Beichuan Province, and the other is the emperor's grace!
"The Marquis's sister?"

Lan Yu was a little confused.

Marquis Jing'an couldn't see her, so meeting her sister, a commander, was a huge surprise for him!
"Yes, Commander Li asked to see you after learning that you had returned to the city."

Tao Ming hugged Lan Yu affectionately and took him towards the camp of the Shaman Army.

After a while, Tao Ming took Lan Yu into a small building and came to a room on the third floor.

"Sir, Lan Yu is here!"

"Okay, invite him in."

A clear female voice came from inside the house.

Lan Yu walked into the room with some trepidation and saw Marquis Jing'an's sister.

She was wearing a military uniform, with her long hair tied up, and when she looked at him, her eyes were as sharp as a knife!

Lan Yu was startled, and his 'danger perception' almost responded subconsciously, and he almost drew the gun at his waist.

"This Commander Li is full of murderous intent!"

Lan Yu resisted the urge to draw his gun and saluted Li Tianyu:

"General Lan Yu greets Commander Li!"

Li Tianyu also noticed Lan Yu's abnormality and apologized:

"Sorry, I just made a breakthrough and it's not stable yet."

After saying this, she consciously restrained her murderous aura.

"You're welcome, please sit down."

Li Tianyu motioned for Lan Yu to sit down, then picked up a long metal box on the table, handed it to Lan Yu, and said with a smile:
"Before Jing'an went into seclusion, he specifically mentioned you to me. He said he had prepared a gift for you."

"what?"

Lan Yu was stunned and took the metal box at a loss. "Does the Marquis still remember me?"

Li Tianyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, he still remembers you. He said that it was the spirit of you and your teammates in that battle that infected him and made him realize a sword technique. It was with this sword technique that he killed more than 6,000 northern barbarian soldiers with one sword outside Moyun City!"

"My Lord, is that really what you said?"

Lan Yu's voice trembled a little.

"Correct."

Li Tianyu nodded heavily.

"me."

Lan Yu's hands were shaking and his eyes were red:

"Thank you, sir, on behalf of my brothers who died in battle!"

He stood up with sobs and bowed deeply to Li Tianyu.

Li Tianyu helped him up and pointed at the box in his hand:

"Open it and take a look. He said this gift is perfect for you."

Lan Yu wiped his face and carefully opened the metal box in his hand.

Inside was a gun he had never seen before.

"This is."

"This is the newly developed assault rifle from the Western Continent. It can fire bullets continuously, and the magazine can hold 30 rounds."

Li Tianyu introduced.

After receiving the firearms sent by the Western Land delegation, the imperial court had already ordered martial arts masters who were good at refining weapons and possessed the supernatural power of [Refining Objects] to imitate them.

Although it is not possible to produce on a large scale, it is still possible to make a small batch.

These batches of assault rifles will naturally be given to the soldiers with the best marksmanship, so that they can exert their greatest power.

Lan Yu is known as the 'Gun King of the North'. Among the 100,000 troops in the northern border, his marksmanship is the best!

He was naturally the one most qualified to use the assault rifle first.

"I thank Commander Li! Please thank my Lord Marquis for me! I..."

Lan Yu held the gun box in his hands, so excited that he didn't know what to say.

After learning that there were newer firearms in the West, he dreamed of having one himself.

He once made a bold statement that if he was given an assault rifle like this, he was sure he could kill a Dao Foundation Stage warrior on the battlefield!
If a warrior at the Daoji stage kills an enemy at the same stage, he will run out of energy after killing only a few.

And a 'gun king' like Lan Yu, as long as he has enough bullets, he has the opportunity to kill many Daoji period warriors in a war! "You're welcome, such weapons should be given to warriors like you to use."

Li Tianyu said.

Then she revealed a cunning look: "But the bullets needed for this assault rifle are also specially made, and currently only my Barbarian Army has enough bullets."

"Ok?"

Lan Yu looked up at Li Tianyu.

Li Tianyu smiled and said, “I mean, are you interested in coming to me to kill the barbarian army?”

Such a gun king happened to have a connection with Li Fei, so of course she had to find a way to "dig" him over.

"I"

Lan Yu really wanted to agree to repay Li Fei for saving his life and giving him the gun.

But he is not just one person, he also has a group of brothers who are willing to share his life with him.

It must not be a big deal for him to go and kill the barbarian army alone.

But if we bring a group of people with us, it would probably be difficult for both sides.

Li Tianyu saw his concerns and said with a smile:
"You just came back, so you don't know yet, but His Majesty has officially appointed Marquis Jing'an as the general, and the army to kill the barbarians will be expanded to 50. So if you and your teammates want to come and kill the barbarians with us, as long as there are no more than people, I can make the decision."

Lan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay! Then I'll go back and ask my brothers for their opinions and get back to you as soon as possible!"

Li Tianyu nodded.

After seeing Lan Yu off, she looked out the window with some emotion.

Her dream since childhood was to become a female general and fight on the battlefield in the future.

When I was a child, I fantasized about leading an army of tens of thousands of people. But the older I got, the more I understood the difficulty of it.

After being admitted to Wuhan University, Li Tianyu's dream became to become a lieutenant general leading an army of 3,000.

A lieutenant general is also considered a general in the army.

However, now, she has really become a military commander capable of leading an army of 10,000 people!
And this was not because of her efforts.

After January 1th of this year, Li Fei will only be 18 years old.

If the 24-year-old hereditary marquis Wangti is given a higher title, then there really is no more titles to be given.

In terms of official position, he is the Blue Patrol Envoy and the Blue Patrol Pavilion Master, a level 17 civil servant, and is only one step away from reaching the top.

Therefore, the emperor gave Li Fei the most military rank in this great victory in the northern border:

Feng Zongbing, a military officer of level 16!
The Shaman Army expanded from 10,000 to 30,000, with an additional 20,000 ordinary soldiers.

Both civil and military officials hold multiple positions.

There are precedents in the history of the Great Blue Dynasty.

But there are very few people like Li Fei who have both a level 17 civil official and a level 16 military general, and have absolute power on both sides!

Even the emperor felt that the reward was not enough, so he gave an additional reward to Li Tianyu, who participated in the war in the northern border.

Promoted 12 levels from a level 2 lieutenant general, jumped over the dragon gate and became a level 14 commander!
The sister of an army commander should have avoided suspicion and not served in the same army.

Not only did the emperor not transfer Li Tianyu, he also promoted her out of turn, making it easier for her to help Li Fei lead the army.

It seems that he doesn't mind killing the barbarian army and turning it into the "Li Family Army".

Just as he was thinking, a person suddenly appeared in front of Li Tianyu.

She widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "Xiao Fei, you're out?"

Li Fei nodded.

During this retreat, he first digested the insights gained from the great battle.

The fights with Borhu and Zhenhe Tianwang, as well as Ning Qingman's teaching of swordsmanship, all brought him benefits.

Although his realm has not improved, his sword skills and personal combat power have actually improved a lot!
In addition to this, [Lie Shan Jia] was cultivated to the Divine Transformation Stage, completely integrated into the body of the flying sword, and could be incorporated into the new implant.

Li Fei has already deduced the implant to be incorporated next -

A sixth-grade medium-grade earth-attribute implant in the magic category, [Black Rock Ear].

This implant came from the sixth-grade exotic beast, the Black Rock Hundred-eared Beast, which happened to be found in the Northern Barbarians.

Li Fei had asked Li Tianyu to help him capture this strange beast a month ago, and there should be news now:
"Sister, did you catch the Black Rock Hundred-eared Beast that I asked someone to capture earlier?"

Li Tianyu nodded: "It has been caught and made into an implant according to your request."

She doesn't even need to go to the Northern Barbarians in person. There are plenty of experts in the barbarian army who are willing to serve Marquis Jing'an.

Li Fei smiled and said, "Okay, have someone bring it to me."

The cultivation of a sixth-grade implant is very difficult. It would take at least one or two years for other top-level masters to completely integrate a sixth-grade implant into their own magical weapon.

But Li Fei can take drugs at any cost, and he also has an unprecedented flying sword body, so his cultivation speed is extremely fast.

This time, it took only two months to complete the practice of [Lie Shan Jia].

The next step is to incorporate [Black Rock Ear], which Li Fei estimates will also take two to three months to complete.

"Report——"

Li Tianyu was about to call someone when a messenger suddenly arrived outside the door.

The other party was startled when he saw Li Fei, and quickly bowed:

"I've met the Marquis!"

Li Fei looked at the other party: "Any military intelligence?"

The messenger quickly handed over the wooden box in his hand: "My Lord, this is the first-level military intelligence from Lan Lingcheng!"

"Level 1?"

Li Fei's expression changed slightly.

The Military Affairs Council divided military intelligence into three levels from low to high: level two, level one, and special level.

The attack of a million-strong Northern Barbarian army is top-level military intelligence.

Although the first-level military intelligence was not that serious, it still made Li Fei's heart rise when it came from Lanling City at this time.

He quickly took the wooden box and took out the telegram inside.

Li Tianyu walked up to him and read with him.

After reading the telegram, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

This information can indeed be considered level one, but it is not known whether it is good or bad for the Great Blue Dynasty.

"again."

He looked up into the distance.

Lingxu Mountain.

This mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and the peak is not visible.

This is a famous Taoist mountain, where the Yuhua Sect, one of the three Taoist sects, is located.

It has been eight hundred years.

At the top of Lingxu Mountain there is a pavilion a hundred feet high, named Dengxian Pavilion.

The heads of the Yuhua Sect of all generations would try the final step that the Taoists had been seeking for their entire lives here—

Become immortal!

This step is a step to the top. In the history of Taoism, only the Taoist ancestor has stepped into this legendary realm.

Of course, this is just the Taoist’s own statement.

The leaders of the Yuhua Sect in all generations are True Lords. There are two types of people who seclude themselves in the Dengxian Pavilion in order to seek a breakthrough.

One is that one’s realm has reached a bottleneck and there is no further progress, so the only option is to seek a breakthrough.

One is that one’s life span is about to end and one has no choice but to break through and seek survival from death.

The current head of Yuhua Sect, Wuxun Zhenjun, belongs to the latter.

In fact, he could also choose to wait until his life span was over, place his true spirit in his natal magic weapon, and then let the Yuhua Sect nurture it.

Then he still has a chance to live another hundred years.

But none of the successive leaders of the Yuhua Sect had ever chosen this way of life.

Rather than lingering on and watching his realm continue to decline every day, he would also waste the sect's treasures and luck.

It is better to die in pursuit of the truth!

This day, outside the Dengxian Pavilion.

The current headmaster of the Yuhua Sect, Wuhui, all the elders of the sect, and thousands of true disciples all gathered here.

True Lord Wuxun has been in seclusion in the Dengxian Pavilion for more than five years.

Today, the acting headmaster Wu Hui suddenly summoned the entire sect and said that the headmaster Wu Xun Zhenjun will take the last step today!
Everyone waited quietly outside the Ascension Pavilion.

At a certain moment, Wuhui suddenly looked up at the top of the Dengxian Pavilion.

A ray of brilliant light shot up into the sky and went straight into the clouds!
Boom——

The heaven and earth were shaking, as if the gates of heaven had opened.

The clouds from the sky are descending!

All the true disciples looked up, showing expressions of shock and anticipation.

But this strange phenomenon did not last long, and Huaguang suddenly died!
The sea of ​​clouds rolled and heavy rain poured down.

Like the sky crying.

Wu Hui looked sad and slowly closed his eyes.

January 2, the first year of Yuanxing.

The head of Yuhua Sect, Wuxun Zhenjun, attempted to ascend to heaven in Dengxian Pavilion, but ultimately failed and passed away!
Acting headmaster Wu Hui officially took over the position of headmaster of Yuhua Sect.

At this point, only one of the three Taoist True Lords remained.
