The First Marquis of Daxuan

A few days later.

Su Mu, with hundreds of people from Jingzhou Taiping Division, appeared on the way to Daxuan border.

Looking at the message he had just received, Su Mu's face turned slightly pale, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

Five days ago, Marquis Lin, Marquis Jin, Marquis Sui and Marquis Mingyi fought against the Demon Lord of the Demon Court and defeated him.

Lin Hou and Sui Hou died in battle.

The Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Mingyi were seriously injured.

The demon lord retreated with minor injuries.

The defenders of Huju Pass, Hulao Pass, Wangbei Pass and other places went out in full force and paid a heavy price before they were able to barely keep the demon court's army out of the pass.

Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong, Shi Binbin and others circulated the news, and everyone's face turned pale.

Shi Binbin's body swayed and he almost fell off his horse.

"Marquis Lin and Marquis Sui died in battle?"

His whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

A depressing atmosphere spread among the team.

"The Demon Lord of the Demon Court is indeed a seventh-level demon."

Su Mu took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"The four marquises attacked at the same time, two died and two were seriously injured, and only then were they able to repel the demon lord."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "Once the demon lord recovers from his injuries, he will come back again..."

He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.

It took the combined efforts of four marquises to stop the opponent, and now there are only two marquises left. How can they resist the Demon Lord next time?

“The Demon Lord has become a seventh-level demon, and Daxuan is facing the danger of national extinction. Now it is no longer just Daxuan Taipingsi’s business.

There are more than a few Taiping Marquis in Daxuan's fusion realm. As long as they take action, they will definitely be able to stop the Demon Lord."

Dongfang Liuyun said in a deep voice.

The Sword Sect's leader Chen Beixuan, as well as the leader of the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the leader of the Shennong Herb Sect, are all in the Fusion Realm.

There should be some ancestors in the fusion realm still alive in the Daxuan royal family.

"No matter how many fusion realms there are, it will be useless."

Mo Xuesong said, “Unless Daxuan can produce a strong man above the fusion realm, how can it possibly stop the seventh-level monster?”

"Lao Mo, don't encourage others and destroy your own prestige.

The seventh-level monster is strong, but ants in large numbers can kill elephants. We in Daxuan have nothing but a large number of people.

Dozens of fusion realm masters rush forward, I don’t believe we can’t kill it!”

Shi Binbin said.

"How can there be dozens of people in the fusion realm in Daxuan?"

Mo Xuesong said.

"If there aren't dozens of people in the Fusion Stage, how many are there in the Infant Stage? I mean to pile them up to death. Do you understand what I mean?"

Shi Binbin said angrily.

"The news from the headquarters said that Emperor Xuan has personally led the army to fight?"

Dongfang Liuyun ignored their quarrel and looked at Su Mu and said in a deep voice.

Su Mu nodded.

"The fact that he dared to lead the army in person has changed my opinion of him."

Su Mu said.

He actually didn't know much about Emperor Xuan.

In the past, I only knew that Emperor Xuan was weak in character, a good-natured man with no principles, and he didn't look like a monarch.

Later, Emperor Xuan actually asked him to borrow the purple gold beam to build the sea.

Su Mu's impression of him has become that he is a tyrant.

Now Emperor Xuan actually dares to lead the army in person.

Su Mu is now a little unsure about what kind of person this Emperor Xuan is.

But this is normal. People are complex and it is difficult to define them directly as good or bad.

Emperor Xuan might not be a qualified emperor, but the fact that he dared to lead the army in person at this time did not bring shame to Emperor Xuan.

"At this time, if he still hides in the capital, the Great Xuan will have no choice but to be destroyed.

If he leads the army in person, there might still be a glimmer of hope."

Dongfang Liuyun said.

Everyone was silent.

Everyone knows that facing a seventh-level monster, Daxuan’s chances of winning are almost zero.

The only hope is that someone can break through to the fusion realm before Daxuan destroys the country.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Hei Tanhua.

All the hair on Black Tanhua's body stood up.

"If anyone of you tries to fight Hai Zijin Liang, I will bite him to death!"

The black scholar grinned.

"Hei Tanhua, since you can't use it now, why don't you lend it to us first? We will return the Sea-Bridging Purple Gold Beam to you after we kill the Demon Lord."

Shi Binbin spoke.

"You should give up on this idea."

Black Tanhua roared and said, "Unless I die, no one can take away my sea-bridge purple gold beam!"

"It's not robbery, it's borrowing. If you borrow, you must return."

Shi Binbin said.

"I believe you."

Black Tanhua said disdainfully, "You two are not even at the fusion stage. Even if you have the sea-bridge purple gold beam in your hands, can you break through?"

"It's just the Fusion Realm. We in Daxuan have plenty of them."

Shi Binbin said.

"Su Mu, is this what you mean?"

Black Tanhua looked at Su Mu fiercely, "Do you want to go back on your word?"

"I didn't say that."

Su Mu said calmly, "Black Scholar, you are at least a sixth-level monster. The Demon Court Demon Lord can break through to the seventh level. Now that you have the Purple Gold Bridge, why are you still at the sixth level?
Is it you who can’t do it?”

"Who says I can't do it?"

Black Scholar was furious and said, "I just haven't figured out the usage of the Sea-Blocking Purple Gold Beam yet.

Once I figure it out, I’ll be able to step into the realm of a seventh-level monster in one go.

What is the Demon Lord of the Demon Court? Back then, I could kill it with just one claw. "

Black Tanhua's tone sounded a little sour.

Compared to it, the Demon Lord of the Demon Court can only be regarded as a junior.

Now that it has come from behind and taken the lead, how can it not be jealous?
"It still doesn't work after all."

Su Mu said leisurely, "When it comes to my understanding of the Purple Gold Beam across the Sea, I'm afraid no one in this world can surpass me.

How about I help you?"

"Are you so kind? You wouldn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to snatch the Purple Gold Beam across the sea?"

Black Tanhua said with a vigilant look on his face.

"Have you forgotten who gave you the Purple Gold Beam?"

Su Mu smiled disdainfully and said, "If I wanted it, I wouldn't have given it to you in the first place.

If I don't give it to you, can you still snatch it from me?"

"Black Scholar, according to our agreement, you need to protect me before I break through to the Fusion Realm. But with your current strength, do you think you can protect me in front of the Demon Court Demon Lord?"

Su Mu asked.

"You are just a mere Nascent Soul Realm person, what are you doing in front of the Demon Lord of the Demon Court?"

Black Tanhua said, "As long as you don't encounter it, I can protect you in other situations!"

"What if?"

Su Mu said, "The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. What if I'm unlucky and run into the Demon Court Demon Lord?"

"That's your bad luck."

Black Tanhua curled his lips.

"That's your fault."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "If I really encounter an invincible enemy, I will naturally bear the consequences.

But now, you clearly have the hope of defeating the Demon Lord of the Demon Court, but because of your own suspicion, you don't do it.

Of course, if you insist on breaking your promise, I can't do anything to you." "I break my promise?"

Black Tanhua said angrily, "How did I break my promise?

Is there another monster in the world who keeps his promise as well as I do?

I said I would protect you, and I will definitely protect you!
But breaking through to the seventh-level monster is not like eating and drinking water, how can it be that easy?"

"It's precisely because it's not that easy that you need my help."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "Give it a try. Even if you fail, you won't lose anything.

If you succeed, you will be the second seventh-level monster.

If you kill the Demon Court Demon Lord by then, you will be the only seventh-level demon in the world!"

There was a hint of excitement in Heitanhua's eyes.

It has been guarding the Purple Gold Beam for decades. What is its purpose? Isn't it just to break through to the seventh level?
Ever since it got the purple gold beam across the sea from Su Mu, it has been thinking about it.

But I haven't figured out any solution.

Su Mu was able to take away the Purple Gold Beam that spanned the sea, so maybe he really had some tricks that could help him.

If Su Mu wanted to take back the Purple Gold Beam across the Sea...

Humph, he is just a Nascent Soul warrior, I can kill him with just one claw.

If he really dared to seize the Purple Gold Beam of Jiahai, he would be the one breaking his promise first, and he naturally wouldn't have to keep his promise. He could just kill Su Mu.

Everything is in your control.

Black Tanhua thought confidently in his heart.

There was a look of contemplation on its face.

"Even without you, I would have found a way if I had just spent a few years figuring it out."

Black Tanhua said, "But since you have asked me so sincerely, I will give you a chance to perform.

If you can really help me break through to the seventh level monster, I will promise to help you kill the Monster Court Monster Lord."

It looks like I know what you are thinking.

Don’t you just want me to deal with the Demon Lord of the Demon Court?
I promise you.

The premise is that you can really help me.

I, Grandpa Hei, have always been fair in everything I do.

When they heard that Heitanhua agreed, everyone's eyes lit up.

Facing the Demon Lord of the Demon Court, no one in Daxuan can defeat it alone.

And it is almost impossible to expect someone to break through to a level above the fusion realm.

If Black Tanhua can also become a seventh-level monster, then they will have the power to control the Demon Lord of the Demon Court.

Although Black Tanhua is also a monster, after getting along with him for some time, they unconsciously regarded Black Tanhua as one of their own.

Although Black Tanhua has been saying that it will leave Su Mu once Su Mu breaks through to the fusion realm.

But according to experience, as long as it continues to follow Su Hu, it will be subdued by Su Hu sooner or later.

If it is not a demon pet, it will become a demon pet.

Su Mu raised his hand and took the purple gold beam from Hei Tanhua's back.

After he gave the Purple Gold Beam to Hei Tanhua, Hei Tanhua had been carrying it on his back. However, he didn't have a storage ring and didn't know how to refine the magic weapon into his body.

Su Mu held the purple gold beam that spanned the sea and stroked it with his fingers.

Every magical weapon is full of mysteries. Even Su Mu dare not say that he knows this Sea Purple Gold Beam well.

The more Su Mu studied it, the more he felt that the person who had forged the purple gold beam across the sea had a very clever idea.

The person who forged this sea purple gold beam must have attained far greater attainments in the art of forging weapons than he did.

"The seventy-two divine weapons represent the seventy-two blessed places."

Su Mu thought to himself, "How can it be possible to break through a realm just by refining a magic weapon? Even if this magic weapon contains space."

Weapons are just weapons. Although they can enhance a warrior's combat effectiveness, they themselves have nothing to do with the warrior's realm.

But Black Tanhua looked so confident that he didn't seem to be lying.

That could only mean that this Sea Purple Gold Beam had some secret that I didn't know about.

Su Mu calmed down and began to explore the function of the purple gold beam across the sea again.

…………

The group traveled day and night and finally arrived at Huju Pass.

There are several border passes between Daxuan and the wilderness, including Huju Pass, Hulao Pass, Wangbei City...

The demon court invaded on a large scale and attacked these border passes at the same time.

The reason why Su Mu chose Huju Pass was because he was familiar with it.

Along the way, even when he was on the road, Su Mu was studying the purple gold beam that spans the sea.

"Su Mu, I told you, you can't do it."

Black Tanhua still remembered that Su Mu had said that it was not good enough, so he would take revenge when he got the chance.

"It's up to me to build the purple gold beam across the sea.

If I concentrate on studying for two to three years, I will definitely be able to achieve the seventh level.

Until then, just stay in a safe place.

I'm not bragging, even if those monsters in the Demon Court break into your city, I'm here to keep you safe.

We can't defeat a seventh-level monster, but we can still run away."

Black Tanhua did not deny that he could not defeat a seventh-level monster.

Isn’t it normal that a sixth-level monster cannot defeat a seventh-level monster?
"If it really comes to that, I'll really have to rely on you to protect me and get away."

Su Mu was not angry and said calmly.

Although the Black Scholar cannot defeat the Demon Lord, it is still a sixth-level demon after all. With it, the Tiger Pass will be more secure.

"Alright, give me back the Purple Gold Sea Beam. You won't be able to figure anything out with it."

Black Tanhua said.

It looked at the majestic city ahead and felt a little panicked.

Humans are afraid of monsters, and monsters are afraid of humans.

There are countless powerful humans in this majestic city.

Even if it is a sixth-level monster, I still feel unsure.

If I could have a magic weapon in my hand, I would be much more confident.

Su Mu glanced at Black Tanhua and seemed to see through its thoughts.

"You go into the city first."

Su Mu turned and said to Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong, Shi Binbin, Luo Anning and others.

"Black Tanhua and I go to a place for a month or two at most, or ten days or half a month at least."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

"What are you going to do? The border is in danger. We may not be able to hold on without you."

Shi Binbin said.

There were waves in Dongfang Liuyun's eyes.

"Have you found a way?"

“It may not work, but you can give it a try.”

Su Mu said.

Shi Binbin wanted to say something, but Dongfang Liuyun had already helped him.

"Don't worry, we will do our best to defend Huju Pass until you come back."

Dongfang Liuyun said in a deep voice.

Su Mu nodded, jumped from the horse and landed on the back of Black Tanhua.

Black Tanhua shrugged his back, trying to throw Su Mu off.

"It's an emergency, so just make do with it."

Su Mu said, "I already know how to use the sea-bridge purple gold beam to turn you into a seventh-level monster."

Black Tanhua was so stunned that he even forgot to throw Su Mu off his back.

Su Mu patted the back of Black Tanhua's head again.

"You are fast, come on, take me to a safe place where no one will disturb me."

Su Mu said.

The Black Tanhua let out a low growl, leaped up with all four hooves, and disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.

"Riding a tiger, Black Tanhua has really become a demon pet."

Shi Binbin looked at their disappearing backs with envy. (End of this chapter)
