Witch Wind

Chapter 194 Extraordinary Request (Part )

Mountains and rivers in four provinces.

The army belonging to the Jieshi Mansion retreated slowly, and the Dongyun vassal soldiers, who were as tall as carrots, grunted and drove countless horse-drawn carriages and mule carts, which were piled with various kinds of gold and silver and countless copper coins.

Behind them, the Zhu Ming army, like a cloud of fire, swept across the mountains and plains.

In front of the Zhu Ming army, the remnants of the Dayu Dynasty government gathered together soldiers and horses, screaming and crying, running around like bandits. Many officials who had thrown away their armor and helmets dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, but were shot dead by the Zhu Ming soldiers without mercy and thrown to the roadside like garbage.

The ruling Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty has already issued an imperial decree - the Dayu Dynasty is corrupt, the people are living in misery, all officials of the Dayu Dynasty, regardless of civil or military, regardless of rank, are guilty of serious crimes; the Ming Dynasty will punish the criminals and conquer the barbarians, in this war, all officials of the Dayu Dynasty will be killed if they do not surrender or offer amnesty!

The army of Jieshi Mansion retreated in large strides, and the Zhu Ming army quickly took over.

Cities were occupied by the Ming army one after another, and countless officials and evil gentry were punished by the censors sent by the Ming Dynasty in accordance with the principle of "strict, severe and quick punishment". They were executed according to the law and all their properties were confiscated.

The water transportation in the four provinces of Shanhe was extremely developed. Huge ships with the Xingtian Wu Ganqi flag flying across the water were everywhere. The Zhu Ming army sent all the property of officials and evil gentry that they had confiscated to these ships. The fully loaded ships blew their whistles with satisfaction and sailed back to Jieshi County in a mighty manner.

Corresponding to this, shiploads of advanced military weapons were continuously shipped out of Jieshi County to the four provinces of mountains and rivers, and handed over to Liu Jin, the general commander of Zhu Ming. For these weapons and the four provinces of mountains and rivers that Jieshi County gave up, Zhu Ming paid countless gold, silver and copper coins. In the end, all these things were put into Xing Tianli's pocket and turned into food for cultivation.

Zhu Ming is scrambling frantically for territory.

The White Lotus Sect, which was originally controlled by Xiangliu Baiwei, changed its flag on the spot and replaced it with the banner of Daxia's "Bear Bear Lifting the Tripod to Sort Out the Ten Thousand Monsters in Heluo Town". The mighty White Lotus Sect members, humming ancient Daxia songs, left the old land in the northwest with their families and headed straight for Fentian City.

Flags of "Bears Lifting the Tripod" fluttered in the north of Dayu Dynasty. Elite troops from the ancestral land of Daxia, carrying their own flags, held their heads high and sang as they marched straight into the site of Fentian City, recruiting laborers and rebuilding the city.

The names of these ancient clans, such as Xingtian, Xiangliu, Zhurong and Gonggong, are once again heard in the north.

Food and military equipment from the Jieshi Mansion were shipped over in shiploads. Each clan conscripted young men to form a large army, which was mixed with the large group of people from Xiangliu Baihu and the White Lotus Sect to form the Great Xia Army, which marched across the north in a mighty force.

In just a few months, more than a dozen provinces around Fentian City were occupied by the Daxia Army, countless officials and evil gentry were beheaded, and their property was confiscated and exchanged for real gold and silver, which were sent to Xing Tianli's Jieshi Mansion in exchange for the food, fodder, and military equipment he provided.

There were also ancient vassal families from the Zhou Dynasty who rose up in the southern border of the Dayu Dynasty.

King Ji Si of Zhou, a direct descendant of King Mu of Zhou, personally led all the princes and aristocratic families of the Great Zhou, left his ancestral land, recruited troops, and launched wars and attacks.

At the same time, in the heart of the Central Plains of Dayu Dynasty, a troop of soldiers flying the flag of the Black Dragon King of Qin suddenly appeared.

The commander of this army called himself the grandson of Qin's third emperor, Ziying. Holding a long spear and wearing heavy armor, he personally charged into the city amid smoke and fire, and braved a hail of bullets. Over the course of several months, this young master Ying Xin achieved 72 victories as the first to attack the city, personally beheaded three provincial governors of the Dayu Dynasty, and hundreds of other generals, becoming famous all over the world.

Regardless of whether it was King Ji Si of Zhou or Prince Ying Xin of Qin, their armies were expanding rapidly, and all the military equipment they needed was purchased through the Jieshi Palace from hundreds of countries in the far west, mainly from the Kingdom of Yingjishi.

The cities they captured, the wealth they looted, and the many gold, silver, and jewelry they collected all went into Xing Tianli's pocket because of the expensive weapons.

Ji Si, Ying Xin and others didn't care about this.

What they want is land and population, as well as floating wealth. As long as there is land and people, wealth will be generated inexhaustible. What does a little floating wealth count for even if it is given to Xing Tianli?
Four major forces, Si Xia, Ji Zhou, Ying Qin and Zhu Ming, emerged and fought frantically for territory.

The people of the world were shaken, and when the people were shaken again and again, Zhao Song also shyly took action - they married their three daughters to the current crown prince of Zhu Ming, and gave him countless gold, silver and jewelry as a dowry in exchange for a strong army of Zhu Ming.

Therefore, Zhao Song appointed Tong Guan as the commander of the army, Cai Jing as the military supervisor, Yang Nianzu as the vanguard, and Yue Feng brothers as the leading generals. They led the army southward reluctantly, avoiding the territories of Ying Qin and Ji Zhou, and went straight to the southwest area of ​​Dayu Dynasty.

The Zhao Song army had just conquered half of the province in the southwest when it ran head-on into the Li Tang forces that emerged out of nowhere.

The person who came forward by Li Tang was none other than King of Qi Li Yuanji. This man was extremely arrogant and domineering, but he met the extremely sinister and treacherous Cai Jing and his gang of traitors. The unscrupulous Li Yuanji accepted Cai Jing's invitation to a banquet, but as expected, he was poisoned at the banquet!

Li Yuanji and his generals were furious and urged the army to counterattack Zhao Song. The elite cavalry clad in heavy armor ran head-on into advanced firearms. Under the bombardment, tens of thousands of elite cavalry were killed and wounded, suffering a great defeat.

Li Yuanji, who was poisoned and had his cultivation reduced by half, was also severely injured by Tong Guan, Cai Jing, and Yang Nianzu. He fled with his remaining troops in disgrace. The Zhao Song army was in high spirits and pursued them, taking over several provinces.

Even when the whole world was in chaos, some people from Liu Han and Shang Dynasty went out and recruited soldiers with great fanfare.

An imperial edict from the ancestral land of the Dayu Dynasty was like throwing a bomb into the chaotic world that was as chaotic as a pot of boiling porridge, making people all over the world dizzy and speechless.

This decree said: "The world belongs to all people in the world; the sacred artifacts of the country belong to those with virtue and talent; the country is in turmoil, war and chaos, and the people of the world are suffering; all the virtuous and talented people in the royal family, if they can help the people in times of crisis and save the people from suffering, if they can rectify the world and clear the dust, they can be kings!"

In a word, the ancestral land of the Jade Clan has been destroyed. If any member of the Jade Clan has the means and ability to jump out and conquer the world in these chaotic times, then the throne of the emperor will be yours!

This imperial edict was announced throughout the country, and as a result, overnight, dozens of princely mansions scattered across the country in the Dayu Dynasty spent all their wealth like crazy, frantically recruited soldiers and purchased military equipment, and fought hysterically with the three ancient families.

Jieshi County, the mouth of a large river, is a place where the entire Jieshi rock is red.

There were dozens of miles of guard posts, which sealed off the area. On the river, several battleships purchased by the Jieshi Palace at great expense were quietly moored. Occasionally, the whistles would sound, startling the merchant ships from various countries coming in and out and sending signals to salute the warships flying the flag of "Xingtian Dancing with the Ganqi".

Whether it's elite soldiers or warships, they are just guarding against mortals.

In the white reed marsh around Jieshi, there are 1800 flying swords about a foot long, which are made of refined steel and gold. There are also twelve three-meter-high archways made of bronze distributed around it, and thirty-six ghost generals at the peak of the celestial realm holding flags, standing guard in the archways.

This is the 'Twelve Yuanchen Secret Demon Inverted Sword Formation', which has the functions of both an illusion formation and a killing formation. There are thirty-six celestial immortals guarding the formation. Even if an ordinary golden immortal accidentally enters the formation, if he does not know the exquisiteness of the sword formation, he will be fascinated and lose himself in space and time. Eighteen hundred flying swords soar into the sky and strike together. If an ordinary golden immortal does not have a precious treasure to protect his body, he will be in danger of falling.

Especially in this Dharma Ending Age, even if a Golden Immortal has a precious treasure to protect his body, if he cannot quickly break the sword formation and escape, and wait until his own magic power is exhausted, he will be at the mercy of others.

This kind of sword formation can be regarded as an unstoppable killing weapon in this Dharma-Ending Age.

Xing Tianli sat cross-legged on the Jieshi, and the Tongtian Yuling Banner was enlarged to a height of about a hundred feet. Countless soldiers and evil spirits roared in low voices, frantically devouring and digesting the billions of skeletons plundered from Duoduo, as well as the endless evil and negative energy contained in them.

The four old ghosts, Aobai, Murima, Shang Kexi, and Kong Youde, had their intelligence wiped out and turned into evil ghosts, and they had already reached the ultimate state of the peak of the celestial immortals. They were like four black holes, madly devouring the huge amount of resources that Duoduo selflessly contributed. The qi in their bodies was faintly showing signs of breaking through the extreme and entering the golden immortal realm.

Xing Tianli’s opportunity is too strong.

The bronze ancient sword hanging high in the Lingtai Zifu had already shattered, but the good fortune it brought to Xing Tianli was something that ordinary cultivators could not even imagine. The "essence" of the countless innate spiritual treasures contained in the bronze ancient sword had already been injected into the Tongtian Yuling Banner.

The 'essence' of the Tongtian Yuling Banner, or its 'roots', has been elevated to an incredible level.

As long as there is enough nourishment to replenish it, the Tongtian Yuling Banner will be able to grow into the legendary innate spiritual treasure, or even the level of the legendary innate supreme treasure.

As for the four evil ghosts, including Aobai, they have already merged perfectly with the Tongtian Yuling Banner, and their cultivation potential has also been immeasurably enhanced.

Golden fairy?

Taiyi?

Da Luo?

Who knows? Anyway, Xing Tianli has the confidence to try to achieve the level of cultivation that they could never achieve while they are alive.

The army of the Jieshi Duke's Mansion gave up a large area of ​​territory and became a middleman between the Kingdom of Yingjishi and various major forces. Countless military equipment flowed into the hands of Zhu Ming, Zhao Song, Ji Zhou and other forces through the hands of the Jieshi Duke's Mansion, supporting their plans for the world. In exchange, they received mountains of gold and silver, incalculable copper coins, and huge amounts of steel.

Xing Tianli, the middleman, was a bit black-hearted. He sold the arms sold to him by the Kingdom of Yingji at market price to Zhu Ming and other forces at ten or even twenty times the price. Even though Zhu Ming, Zhao Song and others frantically tried the officials and evil gentry in the captured territories and looted their wealth, it was still unable to offset the cost of these arms.

Therefore, in the territories occupied by these powerful forces, countless mines became the nourishment for Xing Tianli's cultivation. Countless workers frantically mined the mines, and countless transport ships traveled day and night on the river, transporting mountains of metal ore to Jieshi County, which were continuously smelted by the nine small tripods in Xing Tianli's body.

Before, Xing Tianli's Five Elements Witch Blood had been condensed to the ninth level, and his physical strength had exceeded 50 billion tons.

For several months, Xing Tianli suppressed the condensation of the Five Elements Witch Blood, and all the surging Primordial Qi was integrated into the bone marrow to stimulate the improvement of the other seven original witch veins.

Now, in Xing Tianli's life essence and blood, in addition to the colorful brilliance released by the five elements' origin, there are also seven other kinds of strange lights flowing faintly, which merge with the five elements' brilliance little by little, and gradually interweave into a chaotic and blurry, indescribable strange brilliance.

The nine small tripods vibrated and roared, and their size had expanded to about one hundred and twenty feet high. Divine light surged thousands of feet on the surface of the small tripods, and bronze transparent witch flames rose thousands of feet high. The patterns of countless sun, moon, stars, mythical beasts and birds became more and more complex and lively, as if they could jump out of the small tripods at any time and evolve into a real small world.

Xing Tianli knew that when the twelve original witch veins were completely integrated, his life essence would be greatly and incredibly improved. In the Primitive Witch Scripture, the witch patterns were shining and colorful, explaining the integration of the twelve original witch veins. Such a bloodline was honored in the primitive witch clan as Little Pangu!

Even in the ancient mythological era of the Yu Dynasty, 'Little Pangu' was only a theoretical existence among the ancient great wizards. Even among the human leaders of the Yu Dynasty, the strongest among them was only the Five Elements Heavenly Wizard.

Xing Tianli vaguely realized that this world was the end of the law and the laws of heaven and earth were weakened to the extreme. Even if he inherited the ancient bronze sword, he could not become a "little Pangu". Before he succeeded, even when his twelve original witch veins were initially integrated, an incredible catastrophe of heaven and earth had already descended and turned him into ashes.

He didn't understand what kind of mysteries of heaven and earth were hidden in this.

He didn't want to understand the mystery of it.

Anyway, he took all the benefits.

What kind of mystery of heaven and earth is hidden here, and what does it have to do with him?

Countless gold, silver, copper coins, iron ingots and ore sands were rapidly smelted in the small bronze tripod. The rolling primordial Qi roared and swept through the whole body. The heavy and turbid Qi tempered the flesh, the neutral Qi nourished the five internal organs, and the clear and light Qi went straight up to the spiritual platform and purple palace, turning into rolling purple Qi, wrapping the soul.

All around Lingtai Zifu, boundless chaos surged and shook. Countless pitch-black tentacles roared out from the boundless chaos and lashed towards Xing Tianli's soul viciously.

Sword lights surrounded the Lingtai Purple Palace and killed the tentacles one after another. The pitch-black tentacles were swallowed by the nine small tripods, and infinite soul origins were easily melted out. They were absorbed by Xing Tianli's soul. Under the nourishment of the purple air transformed from the clear and light air, the influx of soul origin easily merged with his own soul.

Xing Tianli's soul emitted a brilliant golden light, and wisps of the golden immortal's unique and indestructible aura spread faintly.

As a result, the boundless chaos in his mind became more and more crazy, and even the faces of evil spirits appeared in the dark chaos, roaring and rushing towards Xing Tianli's spiritual palace, but they were also cut through one by one by the sword formation.

"Curse! Hey!" Xing Tianli had received the complete inheritance of the Bronze Ancient Sword, and he had understood the origin of the terrible chaos in his mind. This was clearly a curse cast by an incredible existence, who had chased the Bronze Ancient Sword all the way, almost destroying it, and forcing it to merge with the newly ascended Xing Tianli.

This boundless chaos is what happened when the 'original soul' of the ancient bronze sword was destroyed by the curse.

Therefore, Xing Tianli was able to use the small bronze tripod to swallow and smelt it, returning it to its original state, turning it into the origin of his soul, and integrating it into his own soul - this was the greatest legacy left to Xing Tianli by the remnant soul in the ancient bronze sword.

Looking at this boundless chaos, Xing Tianli couldn't imagine, how incredible a realm had the Lord of the Ancient Bronze Sword reached in his cultivation during his lifetime?
Taiyi, absolutely.

Daluo, steady.

Even...above Daluo?
Xing Tianli shuddered, not daring to think about it, really not daring to think about it. Such a powerful being was destroyed by a curse. What kind of terrifying existence was the opponent he was facing?

In his soul, the indestructible golden light became increasingly intense, and Xing Tianli's soul was undergoing a fundamental transformation.

The immortal and indestructible qualities of the soul were even integrated into the physical body, affecting the condensation of the witch blood. The speed of the fusion of the twelve colors of light in the blood essence gradually accelerated, and the bloodline of 'Little Pangu' was about to condense.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and Xing Tianren rode his old turtle, passing through the Twelve Yuanchen Secret Demon Reversed Sword Formation and came to the Jieshi. Xing Tianren jumped up, jumped onto the Jieshi, strode to Xing Tianli, and saluted him: "Brother, there are two golden-haired people outside looking for you, one is called Augustus, and the other is called Disi."

Xing Tianli raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed with brilliant light, and finally turned into a deep and ancient bronze color.

With a "click", the twelve colors of wizard blood in Xing Tianli's body suddenly merged, and various colors of dim light settled in the wizard blood. Finally, his wizard blood turned into the same color as his eyes, ancient and deep, like a dark bronze color that had been baptized by time.

The essence and blood of 'Little Pangu' condensed.

In the nine small tripods, the mountains of gold, silver, copper, iron and other resources were burned up in an instant, and the incredible primordial Qi was swallowed up by Xing Tianli in one gulp.

The first transformation of little Pangu's blood essence, the strength of his physical body, was 360 billion tons, which was comparable to the weight of Mount Tai in Xing Tianli's previous life.

Xing Tianli nodded slowly, he stood up, and his body had expanded to more than three meters tall.

He took a deep breath, and with the sound of a low dragon roar, his body was compressed back to its normal six feet. He shook his arms lightly and said with a smile: "Hey, from now on, let's call it, the power of a mountain?"

With all his strength, he can lift a static, motionless Mount Tai that has no magical powers or restrictions. It is appropriate to call it the power of a mountain.

Pinghai City, Jieshi Mansion, front yard living room.

The aura around them was surging, obviously because their strength had increased too quickly and they were unable to control it. Emperor Si and Augustus were sitting carefully on the chairs, holding the teacups carefully and sipping the fragrant tea in small sips.

Even though the two had tried their best to control their strength, when Xing Tianli walked slowly into the living room carrying the Tongtian Miaozhu, they were so excited that with a 'pop', the teacups in their hands turned into ashes, and the rosewood official hat chairs under their buttocks also turned into green smoke. Even the floor under their feet, which was paved with the same gold bricks as the imperial palace, exploded with two 'bangs', creating two large pits with a diameter of three meters.

Xing Tianli's elegantly decorated reception hall was instantly shattered by the leaked aura of the two people.

Xing Tianli looked helplessly at the blue sky and white clouds above his head and coughed twice: "It's been a long time since we last met, Excellencies. Why are you here to demolish houses right after we meet? In the past few months, I have had a pleasant cooperation with the two Consuls Generals, Joe Peter and Greenman... We have all made a lot of money."

Disi and Augustus looked at each other, and Disi said, "Respected, Marquis Heiyun, we are friends, aren't we?"

Xing Tianli narrowed his eyes and smiled.

friend?

This word is very luxurious.

He said softly, "Of course, we are friends. We have always gotten along well, right? So why do you two have such questions?"

Augustus said in a deep voice: "Well, let's be frank. We are friends, so we hope that you can make greater progress. We fully support you to become the new emperor of this land. What do you think?"

Xing Tianli's heart skipped a beat.

He said in a deep voice: "Do you know what the situation is like in the Eastern Kingdom of Shenzhou now? The power of the three ancient families has broken free from the last barrier, and they have already started fighting for the world."

Di Si said casually: "The Three Ancient Families? Of course we know them. Have they finally emerged from the gutter where they were hiding? Then, let's destroy them!"

"Kill them all, and we will support you to become the new emperor of this land!" Augustus said proudly: "This is our decision. We bring the greatest goodwill. We hope that you can accept our most sincere friendship."
