Witch Wind

Chapter 170 The Duke of Jieshi (Part )

Court of Nations, temporary tribunal.

From within the Tongtian Yuling Banner, Aobai's shrill and desperate roars continued. He was roaring and cursing madly, and black wind kept spewing out from the small banner. Occasionally, half of Aobai's face or half of his body could be seen rushing out of the small banner, but he was captured alive by dozens of bronze, scaly ghost hands.

The thirteen heavenly destiny armors were glowing dimly. Just now, Xing Tianli broke the Southern Dipper and Northern Dipper formations with one sword. The power of the formation backfired, and these armors also suffered serious damage.

Without Aobai as their master, the thirteen pieces of armor were suspended in the air, making a buzzing sound. After a few breaths, the armor was filled with starlight and was about to fly up into the sky and escape. But before they could take off, Xing Tianli shouted loudly, and a bronze tripod appeared behind him. A line of golden light burned rapidly inside the tripod, and a magnificent bronze divine light gushed out from the tripod, firmly absorbing the thirteen pieces of armor.

Without waiting for these armors to resist, Xing Tianli rolled up the Tongtian Miaozhu, and suddenly the seven treasures shone brightly. Strands of hazy light that purified the dust and cut off cause and effect were lingering, and most of the restrictions and runes inside the thirteen pieces of armor were sealed in an instant.

Inside Xing Tianli's body, nine small bronze tripods formed a terrifying formation that suppressed everything and created its own universe. The bronze divine light surged, and in just a breath of time, the thirteen pieces of armor were forcibly swallowed into the bronze tripods and suppressed inside.

Bronze flames swirled, and witch fire burned fiercely.

Xing Tianli activated the fundamental method of "A Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth", and thirteen pieces of armor of amazing quality vibrated together. Waves of extremely strong resistance emerged continuously, and actually resisted Xing Tianli's crazy sacrifice.

Xing Tianli was shocked. The power of these thirteen pieces of destiny armor far exceeded his estimation of the celestial artifacts. Their grade might have surpassed the celestial realm and reached the golden immortal realm!

On the Lingtai Purple Mansion, the broken ancient bronze sword shook slightly, and thirteen extremely fine sword beams crossed the sky and chopped down fiercely.

A sharp whine sounded, and the intelligence of the thirteen pieces of destiny armor was shattered by a single blow, and all the array patterns and runes inside were completely shattered by the sword. The graceful and profound sword art turned into strange sword trajectories that loomed on the surface of the armor. Xing Tianli only tried to figure out the sword intent left on these armors, and his cultivation of the Infinite Sword Sutra suddenly soared a lot.

The transparent bronze witch flame rolled, and the thirteen pieces of destiny armor began to disintegrate and melt.

The vast primordial Qi surged out and instantly filled Xing Tianli's body - Xing Tianli was shocked, the grade of this Destiny Armor was too high, and the primordial Qi obtained from smelting it was more than a thousand times higher than pure gold in terms of efficiency and purity.

Xing Tianli calculated that with these thirteen pieces of armor, he could at least advance his cultivation of the Five Elements Heavenly Witch by several levels.

"Wonderful!" Xing Tianli smiled brightly. He held the Tongtian Yuling Banner in his left hand and raised the Tongtian Miaozhu in his right hand, pointing at Murima who looked miserable. "This Tongtian Yuling Banner of mine has dozens of ghost commanders and hundreds of ghost generals. Although they are fierce, they were just ordinary soldiers of the Qin Dynasty when they were alive."

"So, Mr. Aobai traveled thousands of miles to offer his life. With his top-level cultivation, he can be one of the main generals of the Tongtian Yuling Banner. His future growth limit is hundreds or thousands of times higher than that of the Qin soldiers who were ordinary people in their lifetime."

"So, thank you, Mr. Aobai." Xing Tianli smiled brightly.

Those Qin's soldiers and evil ghosts were only mortal souls in their lifetime after all. Even if they were tempered with miraculous methods and even if the Tongtian Yuling Banner was infused with the "essence" of innate spiritual treasures, the fact that these soldiers and evil ghosts could grow into celestial beings already made Xing Tianli overjoyed. If among them, there could be three or five ghost kings in the golden fairyland, that would be something beyond imagination.

The higher level Taiyi, and even the higher Daluo, and even higher quasi-sages, Hunyuan, etc. These warriors and evil spirits whose roots are just mortal souls, they can't do it.

But Oboi is different. In the Dharma Ending Age, he can still maintain the cultivation of a top celestial being. Oboi runs around without restraint, which shows that he has excellent qualifications and strong luck.

Becoming a Golden Immortal is not a problem.

Taiyi has great hope.

Daluo can also hope for it.

Quasi-saint... ahem, Xing Tianli couldn't imagine what level that was, and didn't know whether Mr. Aobai could achieve that level!

Xing Tianli laughed wildly. He had just forcibly taken away thirteen pieces of Heavenly Fate Armor. There was also rolling black wind wrapped in countless black sands swirling around him.

These black winds and black sands were not magical powers, but a heavenly artifact that Aobai had refined himself. Xing Tianli also roared, and the shadow of the bronze tripod behind him floated, easily collecting the heavenly artifact.

As the bronze witch flame rolled, the black wind and black sand let out a shrill wail, the primordial Qi surged, and the growth speed and refining efficiency of the Five Elements Heavenly Witch Blood in Xing Tianli's body suddenly reached a new level.

The small bronze tripod slowly expanded.

The golden light in the cauldron gradually grew stronger.

The primordial Qi differentiates, the light and agile Qi rises to nourish the soul; the heavy and turbid Qi descends to strengthen the body; the neutral Qi permeates the five internal organs, improving the vital bloodline bit by bit.

Xing Tianli's eyes flashed with bronze light as he looked straight at Murima.

"Mr. Murima, you and your elder brother were friends for life... After he died, you didn't want to be the only child, right? You are brothers from the same father and mother. How could you be so shameless and linger on after he died?"

Xing Tianli smiled brightly.

Murima let out a strange howl, and coffin nails flew out from the vital points on his body one by one, turning into a flash of cold light a few feet long and piercing Xing Tianli. Murima's body swelled, reaching a distance of 18 feet in an instant. The dragon robe on his body shattered, and Murima roared, trying his best to escape from the temporary court.

Xing Tianli laughed loudly, pointed at the Tongtian Miaozhu, and a flash of cold light flew into the air. With the sound of "clang", the coffin nails were broken into two by his casual hit. The broken coffin nails were also good things of the celestial artifact level. The small bronze tripod accepted all of them and took them in, smelting them madly.

Xing Tianli strode forward and was behind Murima in one step. The Tongtian Miaozhu emitted a cold light and pierced Murima's fatal point on the back.

"Slow down, slow down. You are too cruel." Mi Xiangjun let out a clear whistle, drew his sword with his right hand, and a clear sword light pierced Xing Tianli directly.

In an instant, Xing Tianli seemed to see the surging river and the sparkling cliffs. On the top of the cliff, facing the wind, rain, frost and snow of the four seasons, facing the strong wind and thunder, a bunch of plain orchids swayed. No matter how time washed away or how the world tempered it, this bunch of lotus flowers remained as fragrant as before, coexisting with the river and the cliffs.

As a result, the wind, frost, rain and snow of the four seasons all lost their color, the turbid flow of the world rolled away, and only this bunch of extremely simple and elegant orchids remained in the world, quietly emitting fragrance.

Xing Tianli was slightly stunned.

Mi Xiangjun's sword...his swordsmanship was just ordinary, but the rhythm of the sword almost made Xing Tianli intoxicated.

Kendo is the understanding of the sword, and it is the ultimate power that a person can achieve while holding a sword.

Like the "Infinite Sword Sutra" practiced by Xing Tianli, one sword can shatter the three realms, annihilate the starry sky, destroy the heaven, earth and universe, and reopen the chaos to earth, water, fire and wind.

This is Xing Tianli's swordsmanship. When practiced to the extreme, it is the supreme realm of a saint.

Although Mi Xiangjun's swordsmanship was indeed exquisite, when she used it, Xing Tianli saw only an ordinary sword of a human immortal - this sword could kill a dragon, cut off a river, split a thousand-foot-high mountain, and pierce a golden city...

That's all.

But that sword rhythm.

The rhythm of sword is so beautiful. It represents the inner cultivation of the person who wields the sword. It is the culmination of certain thoughts, ideas and obsessions in his mind.

Just like the same sage's sword, when someone wields it, it is sublime and ethereal; when someone wields it, it is sharp and powerful; when someone wields it, it is filled with murderous aura; when someone wields it, it is overwhelmingly evil...

Just like Xing Tianli's sword, his sword is indeed strong and sharp, with infinite killing power, but his sword rhythm is as dry as sugarcane residue that has been squeezed ten times by a juicer, pale and bleak, and totally uninteresting.

And Mi Xiangjun's sword is beautiful, noble, and exudes a faint fragrance...

However, Xing Tianli could also feel that Mi Xiangjun's sword rhythm was probably not something he had comprehended by himself, but something he had copied from one of his elders.

His sword rhythm was beautiful, but the inner sword meaning was awkward and stiff, just like a child who was learning to paint for the first time, which always had a bit of a vague feeling.

"This sword is wonderful." Xing Tianli still exclaimed in admiration, and gently tapped the Tongtian Miaozhu, and performed sword moves such as "Sword One" and "Sword Ten" in succession. Then, sharp sword beams suddenly burst out, and more and more sword beams broke through the air like meteors, piercing Mi Xiangjun with unconditional murderous intent.

'Sword One', Mi Xiangjun shook his wrist lightly and broke it easily.

'Sword Ten', Mi Xiangjun smiled and broke it with a flick of her finger.

'Jian Bai', Mi Xiangjun frowned slightly, looking a little flustered.

'Jian Qian', Mi Xiangjun looked serious and took three steps back.

"Sword Ten Thousand", Mi Xiangjun whistled softly, his body surging with brilliant light. "Sword Hundred Thousand", Mi Xiangjun's sword power was already scattered, and sword beams pierced through the air. He used all his strength to control the long sword in his hand, "clang clang" constantly colliding violently with the Tongtian Miaozhu, causing countless sparks.

Mi Xiangjun only felt that what Xing Tianli was holding in his hand was not a sword, but a huge thunder hammer. Every blow was extremely heavy, and every blow made his right arm tingle and ache. There were faint flashes of golden stars in front of his eyes, and his steps were unstable, and he kept retreating backwards.

Before the move "100,000 Swords" was completed, the long sword in Mi Xiangjun's hand had already fallen to the ground. The double dragon jade beads beside him suddenly flew into the air, and the black and white qi spread, transforming into the shadow of the Tai Chi image that filled the void, blocking Xing Tianli's subsequent attack...

Mi Xiangjun raised his head suddenly, and Xing Tianli's sword knocked the sword out of his hand. He actually stopped the sword and did not continue attacking!

The Twin Dragon Jade Jewel exuded tremendous power, and the black and white Tai Chi protected the area several feet around it, but not a single attack was launched.

"You!" Mi Xiangjun's face flushed and she was extremely angry.

With a "puff", in a short time, they had rushed out more than ten miles and escaped to Murima on the river. A sword light flashed across his neck, and Murima's head as big as a water tank rushed up dozens of feet high. Amidst the blood splattering, a large group of ghost generals and ghost generals rushed up and forcibly dragged Murima's soul back to the Tongtian Yuling Banner.

Shrill cries continued to be heard from the Tongtian Yuling Banner, and soon, Murima, like his elder brother, had his true self wiped out, and his soul was transformed into a main soul in the banner.

Xing Tianli clapped his hands and exclaimed: "What a beautiful swordsmanship. May I ask who you are?"

Mi Xiangjun pursed his lips tightly and stared at Xing Tianli for a long while, then he laughed: "Forget it, forget it, I wanted to find an excuse to fight for justice and ask for more Jiazi offerings from Dayu Dynasty, but I didn't expect to meet a master like you."

"Hey, hey, judging from the noise here, you are right, and Mi Xiangjun is not an unreasonable person."

"Come on, Princess Yihe, remember this. I saved your life, so you should at least increase the Jiazi tribute to my Great Chu... ahem, my Great Zhou by 10% or 20%, right? 50% or 60% would be best... 70% or 80% would be fine with me!"

Mi Xiangjun put away the double dragon jade pendant, picked up his sword, sheathed it in a very elegant manner, and smiled brightly at Princess Yihe: "Remember, our time in the world is limited. In this Dharma Ending Age, if we breathe a little longer here, we will die sooner... Hurry up and raise the sixty-year offerings so that we can go back and report back."

Xing Tianli smiled.

Mi Xiangjun broke his spell and originally thought that he was going to cause trouble for her, but unexpectedly, the reason for his interference was so simple - he just wanted to find an excuse to get more Jiazi offerings.

Ah!
Anyway, it's not Xing Tianli who pays the money, so why does he care how much offerings Mi Xiangjun asks for?
Xing Tianli coughed lightly, bowed to Mi Xiangjun, turned around and looked at Fisherman and others who were stiff and silent.

These high-ranking officials from the hundreds of countries in the far west actually saw many ghost generals and ghost commanders rushing out from the Tongtian Yuling Banner and forcibly dragging the "souls" of the brothers Aobai and Murima into such a small banner.

It turns out that evil spirits really exist.

So, do gods really exist?
O Most High and Merciful Virgin!
Fisherman and the others looked at Xing Tianli as if they were worshipping a god. Especially Peterman and Greenman, they vaguely understood why Augustus, Disi and the others treated Xing Tianli so highly.

For a being with such incredible power, among the hundred countries in the Far West, at least more than one hundred countries are willing to marry their royal daughters with the most noble bloodline to Xing Tianli and give him the title of regent or even the powerful title of supreme king!

Princess Yihe and Xing Tianqingshu were trembling with fear and dared not speak.

Yang Tianji shrank aside cautiously, trying his best to reduce his presence.

Oboi was killed.

Murima was killed.

Yang Tianji's cultivation level is comparable to Murima's, but far inferior to Aobai. If Xing Tianli can kill them easily, he can definitely deal with Yang Tianji easily.

At this moment, their life and death can be said to depend entirely on Xing Tianli's thoughts.

Don't say that they don't have evidence that Xing Tianli has cheated them several times in a row, don't say that they don't have evidence that Xing Tianli has taken away the family accumulation of many partners of Xing Tianqingshu. Even if they have evidence, they dare not say any nonsense now.

As a result, Fisherman successfully issued one ruling document after another.

Jin Santan, as well as officials such as Joe Peter and Greenman, together with many bureaucrats of the Dayu Dynasty, signed their names and stamped their seals on the judgment document. All of Xing Tianli's requests received full support from officials of both sides.

Even Princess Yihe and Xing Tianqingshu, who were stiff all over and looked like dead, signed their names on the judgment document and used their own private seals.

Even though they knew that once they signed these rulings, Xing Tianli could do whatever he wanted to them legally - but what would happen if they didn't sign? Xing Tianli's current strength could easily manipulate them into 36,000 forms, and they had no power to resist!

Xing Tianqingshu's whole body was trembling.

He already knew that 'Li Li' was Xing Tian Li, the only legitimate son of Xing Tian Tongming who should have died ten years ago.

The title of Marquis Pingbo and everything that belonged to the Xingtian family in Pingyuan Hall of Nanxun Town should have originally belonged to Xing Tianli - now they were all returned to Xing Tianli. Xing Tianqingshu had no objection, he really didn't dare to have any objection.

But, but, but!

He actually owed Xing Tianli 100 billion taels of silver?
This debt actually has unlimited joint liability? Xing Tianli can wantonly demand this debt from everyone related to Xing Tianqingshu, all his relatives and family members, even his close friends and acquaintances?
Even the old man Fisherman gave this astronomical debt a ruling in the judgment document, which is very characteristic of the Dayu Dynasty, "nine out and thirteen back", which is an interest calculation method that is extremely unpredictable.

Xing Tianqingshu stood there stiffly, dazed and dazed, unable to even cry.

Princess Yihe's performance is better than Xing Tianqingshu's.

Even though Fisherman had ruled that the entire Jieshi County, every inch of territory, every drop of water, every city and town, including all state-owned assets on this land, had become Xing Tianli's private property.

Princess Yihe still gritted her teeth, and on her face, which looked as dead as a dead person, she still managed to force out a stiff smile.

She looked at Xing Tianli, who signed all the documents that were required of her and cooperated with her in carrying out a series of legal procedures. Her eyes occasionally flickered, and her gaze was gloomy and cruel to the extreme.

She firmly believed that the powerful Dayu Dynasty would not allow Xing Tianli to be so arrogant.

In the Dharma Ending Age, the ancestors of the Dayu Dynasty were unwilling to take action, and they even allowed the secular Dayu Dynasty to be wantonly invaded and bullied by the barbarians from the hundreds of countries in the far west.

But being unwilling to take action doesn’t mean they can’t take action.

As long as Xing Tianli's actions truly endangered the fundamental interests of the Dayu Dynasty, Princess Yihe believed that those ancestors would walk out of their ancestral land and use their extraordinary power to easily crush Xing Tianli to pieces.

The Jieshi County was obviously not enough to support those ancestors.

The death of Oboi probably wouldn't make those cunning old ancestors come forward to fight.

So, how can we increase the losses of the Dayu Dynasty and force those ancestors to come out from their ancestral lands to cause trouble for Xing Tianli?
Princess Yihe's smile gradually became brighter.

At nightfall, Xing Tianli finally completed all the legal procedures. He grabbed an astronomical amount of wealth and became the master of the entire Jieshi County in legal terms.

At this moment, a dozen young eunuchs who were left behind at the weaving office rushed in hurriedly.

They hurriedly knelt down before Xing Tianli, smiling brightly: "Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. The Queen Mother's decree came from Fentian City. Your loyalty to the country and your diligence are commendable. You have also made great achievements in Black Borneo and Dongyun Island, spreading the prestige of our dynasty overseas and greatly boosting the morale of our people. Your achievements are greater than the sun and the moon, and there is no one to surpass them."

"My Lord, Jieshi County is your fiefdom. All the people in Jieshi County are your fiefdoms. You can decide their life and death, honor and disgrace with just one word."

"My Lord, the Empress Dowager has issued an imperial decree, and the current Emperor has used the imperial seal. You are a legitimate member of our Great Jade Dynasty, a first-class Jieshi Duke!"

Xing Tianli looked at the group of smiling young eunuchs in astonishment.

The foundation of the Dayu Dynasty should not be underestimated.

The old witch Queen Mother's reaction was so quick!
