The #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path

The three-foot sword is cold and rustling.

The sword is used to ask questions, but it can also kill people.

Lin Shu held his sword horizontally in front of him, and wiped the blade with his fingers.

The blade of the sword was clear, and the invisible sword intent was aroused inch by inch, and he once again explored all the veins of the Zhezhu sword, and became one with it.

Shang Ling who was beside him said, "Good sword!"

Shangling Jian's saber was also out of its sheath, it was a silver long sword with clear body, its light was like the brightness of a full moon.

If Mr. Meng uses a sword, it must be such a clear sword, and it would be appropriate to replace it with the Shangling Bamboo.

Shangling said simply, "I'm in front of the formation."

After all, he flew up and went to the edge of the barrier.

The densely packed living corpses have all rushed up, crawling on the barrier, biting and hitting the barrier, consuming the spiritual power of the barrier.

The enchantment of a cultivator is like a city wall of a mortal, it must not be broken!

The light of the knife, the light of the sword, the light of the talisman and Taoism, the sound of thunder and thunder, exploded continuously on the barrier, a piece of living corpse was smashed down by the spell, and a new living corpse climbed up, covering the sky and the sun, it was extremely terrifying .

Lin Shu is waiting.

When the disciples of Rumengtang come back, they will bring back information about the specific location and strength of the Northern Xia wizard.

About two quarters of an hour passed, and the disciples in green came back one after another.

Yue Ruohe frowned and said, "There is no trace of the wizard."

Hall Master Yue said: "This 20 army is composed entirely of living corpses, and there are no wizards at the center or at the end. I guess, the Northern Xia wizards either scattered among the living corpses, or hid in the surrounding forests. Hard to find."

Xie Zishe cupped his hands and said, "Leader Yue please lead his disciples to continue the investigation."

Master Yue said: "Naturally, but if you still can't find it, I don't know what to do."

Xie Zishe said: "At present there are 20 living corpses, layer upon layer, if a wizard hides among them, it is indeed difficult to find them. After we have wiped out most of the living corpses, it will be easy to find them."

Hall Master Yue said: "That's good."

Rumengtang continued to explore the front, while the rest of the immortal disciples all devoted themselves to protecting the barrier.

The meaning of the Shangling Jian is to tell Lin Shu not to go down, but to wait at the city wall first, to preserve his strength, and then to fight against the Beixia wizard before making a move.

Therefore, what Lin Shu did was to observe the battle situation in different parts of the barrier, and if he encountered danger, he would use his sword energy to help.

Generally speaking, the Fenghuang Villa's sword technique contains the spirit of Lihuo, which is the most effective against evil and evil. Although he was under the most pressure, he was still able to handle it with ease. He firmly guarded the most critical part of the barrier, and even sent people to help other places.

And the northwest corner of the barrier is composed of a mixture of disciples from small sects. The original strength is slightly weak, and the coordination is not good, and there are frequent crises. It is the area where Lin Shu helps the most.

This barrier for defending the city relies on the formation with the strongest defensive power, the "Star Dou Formation", which can defend against all forms of attacks from the outside world, and can also block the enemy's sight, making them unable to see the scene inside the barrier clearly, so they cannot Know the layout in the enchantment.

The best outcome of this battle to defend the city is that the disciples of the Immortal Dao will intercept the living corpses outside the barrier!

But... still too hard!

These two thousand immortal cultivators, who are weaker, are already struggling to carry several living corpses at the same time. In the late stage of Yuanying, they can fight dozens of people with one enemy.

But the army of living corpses has more than [-]!

Even if a person has more than a dozen hands, he still can't stop them all. There will always be an endless stream of living corpses attached to the barrier, biting and attacking it frantically.The spiritual power of the barrier was constantly being consumed, consumed, and consumed in this way.

This is a war that is destined not to be completely victorious, and the enchantment cannot last for a long time. All they can do is fight to the death!

If one more living corpse is killed, the barrier will reduce the pressure, and if the pressure is reduced, it will be able to support for a while, and support for a while-the other layouts in the city can be improved by one point!

The sun was getting bigger and bigger, and it shone on the person's face with scorching heat.The distant crowing of roosters came from far away in the city, and it seemed that it was almost noon.

In other words, three hours have passed since the zombies began to attack the city!

Immortal Dao disciples suffered heavy casualties, and blood-stained disciples kept falling from mid-air.

The disciples and elders of the academy immediately treated him. Some of them were able to be rescued, some were hit critically and were unable to return to heaven, and some... hadn't breathed since the moment they fell.

The sun is getting hotter.

Another hour passed.

The disciples were exhausted from fighting, and more and more people fell down. Even if they could continue to fight, their spiritual power was almost exhausted, and their bodies were wounded, so their combat power was not as good as before.

The enchantment also suffered a great loss. From the beginning, it was radiant and full of breath, and became thin and crumbling.

At this time, four hours had passed since the beginning.

It's been... long enough.

Xie Zishe closed his eyes and said, "Back."

With a sound of falling, everyone in the immortal way retreated and fell back to the top of the city, while the devastated barrier began to slowly close towards the city wall.

On the battlefield, retreat often means defeat.

Among the living corpses, there was howling.

That howl was probably a cry of joy due to victory, but when it fell into the ears of the Nanxia people, it turned into a malicious carnival. The sharp cry pierced the eardrums, and the blood-red ocean surged upwards overwhelmingly. It's like Shura's hell, this situation makes people feel chills in the back.

Someone spread the word, Sir Xie, such-and-such a king, such-and-such lord, and such-and-such lord have fled to Liangzhou with their families. Would you like to send a team of soldiers to intercept it?

Xie Zishe sneered, "Let them go."

After laughing, he said: "In the peaceful and prosperous age, if you want to distinguish between loyal and evil, you still need to spend some effort, but now it is effortless!"

The messenger flattered: "Thank you, Sir, for your wisdom."

Xie Zishe looked forward coldly.

But seeing the barrier shrink layer by layer, gradually getting closer to the city wall, and the army of living corpses slowly moving here - anyone with a discerning eye can see that the barrier can no longer hold.

And once the enchantment fails, Jinguan City will be broken in a matter of minutes, and I can't blame those high-ranking officials and nobles who are floating in their minds and fleeing north in a hurry.

However……!

The Shangling Jian landed on the city wall and said, "Retreat!"

The protective barrier suddenly shattered!

The gate of Jinguan City is wide open, and there is only a small enchantment left, barely guarding the city wall!

The living corpses howled in unison and ran forward!

But what awaits them is not a flat road across the river, but a burial place prepared for them by spending one night in Nanxia, ​​plus the four hours of time won by the talented immortals!

But on the flat ground, there are dozens of trenches hundreds of meters long and nearly [-] meters deep!

At the bottom of the trench are countless sharp barbed wire, long thorns!

The iron thorns are imbued with the spells of the immortal family, making them invincible. Living corpses don't know how to jump and retreat. Once they fall into the trench, they will be pierced by the sharp iron thorns!

The mighty living corpses are like blood-red water. When encountering such a trench, it is like a river suddenly sinking, and they sink in one after another!

All of a sudden, there were sharp and miserable shouts one after another!

Shangling Jian said: "Thank you for your good plan."

"Don't dare to take credit for it." Xie Zishe said: "When I was in the academy, in the Art of War class, there was a day's homework to do ten strategies for defending the city. This is one of the ten strategies made by His Royal Highness Fengyang."

The army of living corpses paused for a moment, and probably the wizard commanding behind also noticed something was wrong and ordered them to stop.

But soon, almost at the moment of stopping, they started moving again!Not only that, but even the speed is much faster than before!

The first trench was filled and level with the ground.

The army of living corpses stepped on the filled trench and continued to move forward.

Second way.

The third way.

... No. 17 Road.

The wizard gave them instructions to fill up the trenches as cannon fodder!

Countless living corpses filled the bottomless trench, and the number of the entire zombie army was reduced by nearly half.

It is true that the power of an immortal cultivator exceeds that of ordinary people, but it is only one person against dozens of living corpses.But such a strategic arrangement can kill tens of thousands of living corpses within half an hour.It can be seen that on the battlefield, when the two armies are facing each other, the power of the cultivators is often just icing on the cake. The success or failure of a real war depends on the strength of ordinary people and the mind of the commander.

However, even though the army of living corpses was greatly damaged, they did not have the fear of living people, they still gathered together and rushed forward!

This time... the front is the real Yimapingchuan.

But seeing them rushing up, they went straight to the city wall of Jinguan City!

Xie Zishe said: "...shoot the arrow."

The messenger got the order, the horn sounded, and the archers on the city wall set up their bows and crossbows. After another horn sounded, the bow became a full moon, and all arrows were fired!

After a round of shooting, add arrows and continue firing.

The rain of arrows fell on the group of living corpses, but it only slightly blocked their speed.

Under such a rain of arrows, the flesh and blood of mortals would have been bloody and bloody without shield protection, but living corpses are different, and the damage caused by shooting arrows to them is probably just tickling.

The people on Nanxia's side could already imagine the sneer on the corner of the mouth of the wizard of Beixia when he saw this scene.

But... who said that the purpose of these rounds of salvos was to stab the corpse man?

The deputy general of the Jinguan City garrison said to Xie Zishe: "My lord, the fuel bombs are exhausted."

Xie Zishe looked at the sea of ​​corpses below, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Light it up."

The deputy general shouted: "Change the artillery!"

But seeing the sound of the machine, the top of the city has been erected, and the heated torch mouth spewed out hot air, and there were a few loud bangs, and scorching fireballs spewed downward!

The archers also changed their arrows. The arrows were tied with burning torches and shot down the city.

The ball of fire fell to the ground and exploded immediately!

On the battlefield, smoke filled the air, and the monstrous fire spread rapidly!

——It turned out that in the first few rounds of salvo, the arrows were tied with kerosene bags. After the arrows hit the living corpses, the kerosene bags burst, and the kerosene was splashed on the living corpses. The body was dripping with kerosene.At this time, if you ignite it with artillery and torches, the fire will rise immediately, and it will be out of control once it is fired.

Xie Zishe said: "Your Highness is not only proficient in the art of war, but also familiar with the magic of immortality, so there is such a method. When I first saw this method, I thought that the conditions for this method were harsh, and it could only be used in isolated cities. Although it is wonderful, But it can’t be implemented...I didn’t expect it to be really useful for a day.”

She didn't take the credit, but said that this was an assignment Ling Fengxiao did in Art of War class a few years ago.

Lin Shu thought, Ling Fengxiao is naturally reliable, his method is reliable, and the person he chooses is also very suitable.

If it wasn't Xie Zishe who replaced him with other veterans, he might just stick to his defense and would not use such a strategy.

But seeing the ten li radius below the city, it burned into a blood-red sea of ​​flames.

The kerosene is not ordinary kerosene, but has been added with the elixir of immortality, which is a hundred times more violent than ordinary fire!

And evil things like living corpses are most afraid of fire!

They could no longer move forward, but rolled and howled in the fire.Once rolling, they will inevitably collide with their companions. Therefore, those living corpses that are not stained with fire oil and barely survived in the sea of ​​​​fire are also affected by their companions, stained with fire, and start rolling with them Howling, no one was spared.

The screams of the living corpses were deafening.

Shangling Jian waved down a small barrier, blocking the piercing voice.

The flame continued to burn, making a sound of hunting in the wind. The color of the flame was bright red, like thousands of red lotuses blooming on the earth, and there was no time to decay.

On the side, several girls from Phoenix Mountain Villa were treating each other's wounds, meditating to restore their cultivation, and talking at the same time.

"The owner said that we will gain something by defending the city this time. Do you feel it?"

"Sure enough, there are. We used to discuss and practice martial arts, but it was like talking on paper. Just now, I was fighting to the death, and I finally understood the deep meaning of many moves!"

"Not only that," Ling Baochen said, "Have you noticed that every time you are exhausted, you can recover a little by using your mental skills? And at the moment of life and death, our Phoenix Villa's sword skills seem to be stronger than usual."

Ling Baoqing, who was the oldest in the grade, said: "The Phoenix Mind Dharma originally meant Nirvana. When it is strong, it will be strong, and it will survive adversity. Only at this time can it be manifested."

The girls nodded in agreement, stopped talking, and concentrated on comprehending.

Everyone else, especially those disciples who haven't left the academy and haven't really fought with others, also sit in meditation and gain something.

The sea of ​​fire was still burning, the footsteps of the living corpses stopped moving forward, and the atmosphere on the top of the city temporarily relaxed.

Xie Zishe breathed a sigh of relief.

She asked Shangling Jian: "We... blocked it."

Shangling Jian shook her head: "Not yet."

Xie Zishe: "Why?"

Shangling Jian said: "The battle to defend the city begins with the extinguishment of the fire."

Xie Zishe said: "When the fire goes out, the living corpses should die."

Shangling Jiandao: "Master Xie doesn't know something. Among Bei Xia's corpse refining techniques, there is a technique called 'Fire Refining'. The method of Fire Refining is to throw a living corpse poisoned with blood into a raging fire, and let it die alive." Corpses are originally afraid of fire, and they will die completely after burning for an hour, but out of about ten ordinary living corpses, there will be one who was tempered by the fire, but has extraordinary talents and survives."

Xie Zishe said: "In this way, there are many living corpses in the city, and there will be many surviving?"

"Exactly," Shangling Jian looked at the sea of ​​flames below the city, "The fire was burning. After the 'Fire Refining', ordinary living corpses died, and the survivors' physiques had changed. Bei Xia called it 'Fire Refining Corpse'. Ordinary living corpses were no more than It is an ordinary monster, and it can be defeated with strength, but the fire refining corpse is equivalent to a person with a golden core cultivation."

Xie Zishe frowned: "Ten thousand."

There were about [-] living corpses that were still alive, so after the fire refining, about [-] "fire refining corpses" will be born!

Ten thousand fires to refine corpses is a person with ten thousand golden core cultivation bases.

There are pros and cons to this fire.

One hundred thousand was reduced to ten thousand, and the pressure of defending the city dropped sharply, but the strength of this ten thousand fire corpse refining was greatly enhanced, and it was a new danger.

Xie Zishe said: "For the present plan..."

Shangling Jian said: "Fight hard, delay time."

Xie Zishe nodded.

The Academy of Arts distributed healing pills to the immortals so that they could recover as soon as possible.

Lin Shu looked at the sea of ​​flames, and when he estimated how long the fire would last, two people suddenly fell down beside him.

Ling Su said: "Pavilion Master!"

Qing Lu stuck out his head tentatively behind Ling Su: "Master."

Lin Shu: "Why are you here?"

Lingsu said: "After the pavilion master went to Jinguan City from Longting, I went back to Jiange, but Qing Lu missed the pavilion master very much and wanted to follow the pavilion master. Elder He agreed, so I brought him here."

Qing Lu looked very aggrieved, as if he was afraid of being punished.

Lingsu looked around: "Master, this is..."

Lin Shudao: "Zhan Luan."

Ling Su said: "The pavilion master will make a move?"

"En." Lin Shu said.

After thinking about it, Lingsu belongs to Jiange, and is a born person, so he shouldn't participate. He said, "Go back."

Lingsu said: "I am the sword servant of the pavilion master, so I should follow the pavilion master around."

Qing Lu said: "I am a disciple of Master..."

Lin Shu thought, whatever.

Lingsu's cultivation base is high enough to protect himself, Qing Lu's cultivation base is shallow, but as long as Jinguancheng is guarded, he will be fine, even if he can't guard it, he can also take people into the Qingming Cave, and nothing will happen.

He said, "Take care of yourself."

Lingsu said "yes", then stopped talking, and stood by Lin Shu's side.

Yue Ruoyun said to Yue Ruohe: "You are a handsome fairy sister."

A while ago, everyone looked at Lin Shu differently.

It is one thing to know that he is the Lord of the Jiange Pavilion, but another thing to actually see him.

A fairy like Lingsu, who is so strong in cultivation and transcends the world, respectfully calls him "Pavilion Master", and even says that she is just his maid, which shows the high status of the Pavilion Master of Jiange Pavilion.

Time gradually passed.

The fire gradually became smaller.

The wails of the living corpses in the fire also gradually died down.

However, the texture of the sound seems to have changed.

The fire is out.

The land outside the city was scorched black.

And on the pitch-black land lay countless dry corpses scorched by fire.

Most of them stopped moving, however, some living corpses trembled and climbed up from the corpses of their companions!

Their color has changed, no matter the head, body, limbs or face, they are all dark gold like brass. The distorted posture looks extremely terrifying.

The first fire-refined corpse stood up unsteadily.

Many fire corpses stood up unsteadily.

Shangling Jian suddenly said: "No!"

Lin Shu also felt something was wrong.

Where is the aura emanating from these fire-refined corpses at the Golden Core Realm?

It has clearly reached the stage of the Nascent Soul!

1 golden elixirs, although difficult, can be dealt with!

1... Nascent Soul?

Xie Zishe seemed to have a premonition of something, his face was pale: "The news just now is wrong?"

Shangling Jian took a deep breath: "I'm afraid...they are all in the Nascent Soul realm."

Xie Zishe lost his voice: "What?"

Even people who came from Confucianism and Taoism and spent seven years in the academy know the classification of immortal cultivators.

1 Nascent Soul corpses.

You know...there are only a thousand immortal cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage on the top of the city at this moment!Moreover, they were all seriously injured in the battle just now!

Shangling Jian said: "Beixia's blood poison has changed compared to what we know..."

Xie Zishe said: "This...how can we win?"

Everyone looked at the corpses below the city, their faces full of panic.

The first fire corpse leaped from the ground and rushed straight to the city wall!

The bricks of the city wall were smashed into several pieces by it!

It began to climb rapidly.

Qing Lu had never seen such a scene before, and she immediately faltered, "ah", and hid behind Lingsu.

The cat let out a scream and stabbed into Tu Longwei's arms with such force that the innocent Tu Longwei staggered back a few steps.

Lin Shu: "..."

Hug and shake, both of you.

He drew out his sword, and swung his sword energy in the air in the "sometimes drifting" style, chopping off the fire corpse.

Shangling Jian said: "I and the owner of the Phoenix Villa are on the two sides."

Lin Shu nodded.

Originally, their cultivation of transcending tribulation was reserved for the wizards of Beixia.

Since Bei Xia invaded, how could he not send some wizards who have overcome the tribulation?

But now, it was used to deal with the tens of thousands of fire-refined corpses—after exhausting their cultivation base, what should they do against the North Xia Transcending Tribulation Wizard?

A wizard who crosses the robbery is equivalent to an army of living corpses. At that time, there is no one in Nanxia, ​​how should we deal with it?

The mountain is poor and the river is absolutely perfect, but that's it.

Lin Shu looked at the Shangling Jian.

Shangling Jian nodded to him from afar, her eyes serious.

Lin Shu knew that he was also prepared for the worst.

Prepare for the worst... The city is destroyed and people die.

Or the tens of thousands of people in Jinguan City will all turn into living corpses and ghosts.

He calmed down, crossed his sword, and planned to start using "Sauvignon Blanc".

After the mental method of "Long Lovesickness" was activated, all the sounds in the world went away, and everything was silent.

In this empty silence, he suddenly heard a slight tremor on the western ground.

He looks west!

At this time, it was dusk, and a round of bloody setting sun hung in the sky, half engulfed by the horizon.

A line of black tide is rushing here from the horizon!

A new zombie army?Lin Shu thought.

Xie Zishe beside him also noticed, looking there, his face became paler.

The Northern Xia wizard also discovered this, and the movements of the fire corpses stopped.

No, it's not.

Lin Shu opened his eyes slightly.

He saw, under the huge blood-colored setting sun, a person in red clothes was flying around, riding a white horse!

Ling, Feng, Xiao.

In his heart, he thought word by word.

Zhao Ye is a rare steed in the world, and he will be approaching in just a moment.

They also saw clearly what was behind Ling Fengxiao!

is an army.

A black army.

The cavalrymen were dressed in black heavy armor, their skin was ashen, and their bodies were entwined with black energy. They didn't look like living people!

And the war horses are tall and terrifying, with pitch-black fur and blood-red eyes, like monsters!

The one in the lead, riding the tallest war horse, had a burly figure, and said in a deep voice towards the city wall: "Meng Jian! Don't come here unharmed!"

Shangling Jian said: "General Dugu... Long time no see."

General Dugu.

General Dugu in Minzhou City?

When Minzhou rebelled, Shanglingjian went to quell the rebellion. At the same time, Changyang City in the north was in a hurry.In order to quickly rescue Mr. Meng, Shangling Jian killed the whole city of Minzhou with forbidden techniques.

——In this way, Minzhou turned into a ghost city, and all the people who died in vain all became Shura ghosts, and they could not be saved.

And Ling Fengxiao actually asked them to help.

Lin Shu thought that the ghost town and himself also had some connections.

He came to this world from the ghost town.

When I met Ling Fengxiao, I was also in the ghost town.

But seeing the hoarse horses, tens of thousands of black cavalry rushed down from the heights, rushing towards the group of burning corpses!

One side is a ghost, and the other side is a living corpse.

Lin Shu looked at Ling Fengxiao from afar.

Seeing the setting sun like blood, amidst thousands of troops and horses, Ling Fengxiao stopped his horse and looked up at him.

Their eyes met, and they were speechless for a moment.

In Ling Fengxiao's eyes, there seemed to be a setting sun like blood.

In Lin Shu's consciousness, Ling Fengxiao will never, never bow his head, and will never lose.

No matter what kind of crisis, what kind of danger, even the desperate situation just now, can be reversed by this person with his own power.

But at this moment, looking at Ling Fengxiao, looking at his eyes, Lin Shu suddenly felt that such an indestructible, invincible, proud and beautiful person, at the moment when he looked at him, was fragile and easy Hurt.

It has nothing to do with family and country, victory or defeat, success or failure.

Ling Fengxiao was asking him with his eyes.

—Would you like to see me?
