Chapter 549: Snatch and Take
Miao Jian and Shen Su, who were originally in Nanjia Region, have now arrived in Donggui.
This was obviously not Zhao Qing's bad luck in trying the Ruyi Sword again...
"Junior Brother Miao and Junior Sister Shen, did you see the sword shadow in the mist over West City earlier?"
Zhao Qing looked at Shen Su in confusion and spoke, temporarily interrupting the exclamation exchange between Miao Jian and Li Wushuang.
Even though Miao Jian now knew that he was extremely special, he was still surprised and curious about Xia Yuchan's defeat, and he discussed it with everyone.
But Zhao Qing had long been accustomed to this. Back when he was in the kitchen, Miao Jian was no pushover, always asking questions...
Although he is much more stable now than before, he has also lost a lot of his sharpness, just like an ordinary cultivator who has fallen into the mundane world.
"seen."
"Thirteen Swords, Cutting Clouds."
Shen Su smiled and spoke casually, but her beautiful eyes looking at Zhao Qing seemed to have some deeper meaning.
Seeing the topic shift, Li Wushuang also became interested: "What is this Cloud Sword Formation?"
"Many of my Li family's disciples have heard rumors outside the city that Ji Mengxing's sword formation is very unusual."
But before Zhao Qing could finish his explanation, Miao Jian showed an expression of understanding and began to explain in detail with a smile.
"Brother Wushuang is from Jizhou, so it's not unusual for him not to know about it."
"There is a Ruyi Secret Realm in my Nine Swords Holy Land, where the mysterious sword tradition from before the Dao Tribulation is preserved..."
Miao Jian and Shen Su exchanged glances and pondered for a moment. He chuckled as he glanced at the curious expressions of Xiang Qin and Yao Siyu, and then glanced at the playful looks of Hong Ning and Shu Yue...
He then continued after careful consideration, "Ancient Sect Ruyi once dominated the fourteen states of the southeast, and it is said that he possessed fifteen magical swords that could protect the states."
"The so-called Fourteen Ruyi States are the present-day Yongning, Quyun, Luanguang, Qianhuan... these newly inherited states that are extremely far away from Zhongzhou."
Miao Jian's expression and words at this moment seemed to be keeping someone in suspense.
After he recently reunited with Senior Brother Zhao, he and his wife also made many new friends such as Li Wushuang and Xiang Qin, and it seemed that the loneliness and old age in him had faded a little.
Zhao Qing felt relieved when he saw this, and he would smile at Shuyue from time to time. The family secretly communicated with each other and watched quietly from the side.
Miao Jian had an impetuous personality since his early years. Although he was young and impetuous, he was always warm-hearted and helpful to his friends whenever there was news or opportunity.
Ruyi Sword's bad luck and predicament need to be avoided, but for Miao Jian alone, he is obviously one of the few close friends in his family, otherwise his family would not often make jokes and arrangements about him.
"Even a top-grade spiritual treasure cannot withstand tens of thousands of years. The divine sword that can be passed down from before the Dao Jie must have its extraordinary features!" Yao Siyu's eyes were shining, and she whispered and sighed with Hong Ning.
Ning Mei is obviously also a good actor. At this moment, her eyes are full of novelty and amazement. She even discusses with a few people, without mentioning that she had read the script a long time ago.
Xiang Qin listened very attentively, and at this moment he couldn't help but raise his eyes and asked suspiciously: "This Ruyi Immortal Sect covers fourteen states, why does it have fifteen divine swords?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing couldn't help but lean forward slightly, staring at Shen Sumiao's sword with confusion.
In his heart, he secretly complained to Si He: "My brother Jian is trying to show off."
as predicted.
Miao Jian didn't hesitate to answer this question. He chuckled and said, "Senior Sister Xiang, you don't know that fourteen of these swords are the swords that protect the state. The last one is called Ruyi, and it is the Ruyi Immortal Sect's guardian weapon!"
However, Xiang Qin didn't realize what Miao Jian was talking about. He just sighed and said, "So that's it..."
"Then the Cloud-Severing Sword in Senior Brother Ji's hand was taken from the Nine Swords Holy Land?"
Miao Jian: ...
His expression was a little strange, as if he was thinking about something.
It was Shen Su who chuckled and answered: "The Ruyi Secret Realm was once in Yongning, and Yunhai Walker obtained the ancient sword inheritance from Yongning Prefecture."
"And the Cloud-Severing Sword in his hand, after transmitting his essence and converging into a sword formation, is just perfect for dealing with this chaotic battle in the same realm."
After hearing this detailed account, Li Wushuang, Ye Xi and the others nodded solemnly, feeling that the opportunity to travel the world was extraordinary.
But Xiang Qin seemed to suddenly remember something. He gave Zhao Qing and Xiaoyi a silent look and whispered, "Did you use this immortal sect's sword to cut me?"
Zhao Qing:! ?
"Junior sister, why do you say that?"
"When did I ever attack you?!"
Xiang Qin's beautiful eyes flickered, and she gritted her teeth without saying anything. She just stared at Zhao Qing with a playful and resentful look.
……
Of course Zhao Qing had chopped her!
In the Dragon Abyss.
That invisible and luminous sword intent.
It broke her heart and almost killed her in the Moonless Sea.
Xiang Qin had obviously heard that the Ruyi Secret Realm came from Yongning Prefecture, and she had made a special trip to Yongning Chu State as a guest, so she immediately figured out a lot of things.
"Cloud-Severing Sword Formation..."
"A miraculous sword that has survived tens of thousands of years of catastrophe and destruction, yet managed to escape from the chaos of West City, truly a supreme inheritance!"
Li Wushuang sighed with emotion: "I heard that the Cloud and Mist Sword Formation seriously injured many cultivators, at least hundreds of them."
Ye Xi pondered for a long time, then suddenly came to his senses and said seriously, "Brother Zhao mentioned this item, do you want to take it for yourself?"
Zhao Qing looked at Ye Xi with some surprise, then smiled and nodded in front of everyone.
"Although Zhuo Yu has not left the city and his whereabouts are unknown."
"But her support has been completely destroyed. Only the hundred or so sword cultivators of the Cloud-Severing Sword Formation remain, and they have gone into hiding with Ji Meng."
"These past few days, Si He and I have been accompanying Miao Jian and Shen Su."
"If the Cloud-Severing Sword appears again, it might be worth taking it by force."
Going to snatch the Cloud Sword! ?
After hearing this arrangement, Ye Xi was obviously a little confused.
Those 108 sword cultivators were obviously a skill that Ji Meng had hidden for a long time, and they were able to fight their way out of the bloody battle in West City... How could they be so easy to snatch?
Even though Si He is so mysterious...
Her expression froze as she pondered, and she inadvertently noticed Xiang Qin's gaze, which seemed to indicate that he quite agreed with her statement! ?
What does it mean! ?
For a moment, the look in the eyes of Young Master Yuelian when he looked at Zhao Qing and the others was as if he was looking at some deep and dark mystery.
Zhao Qing, Si He, Miao Jian, and Shen Su.
Can he defeat more than a hundred sword cultivators, suppress the cloud sea illusion, escape unscathed from the current chaos, and take away the Cloud-Severing Sword?
Li Wushuang also had some doubts and felt that this trip was too risky. After all, Si He was also a fairy in the city. If something unexpected happened, they would lose more than a hundred helpers.
But Hong Ning agreed with this very much and was secretly discussing the benefits of it with Junior Sister Siyu.
My aunt even said in approval: "Then my husband should leave the city. We will keep you informed of any matters here."
Jiang Yinghan also agreed that it was feasible. He pondered and said, "In the secret realm of Donggui Territory, we can extract all the nitrate ore and sugar stems within three days, and it will be no problem to create another 500 Heavenly Bows within seven days."
The so-called Sky Bow is a rocket launcher.
Originally they were all called Rocket...
But now there are many rumors outside Tianxiang City. Some people even joke that Fairy Zhou is good at using bows and arrows, and can destroy the city walls of dozens of miles with just a bow in her bare hands... They also named the rocket "Sky Bow".
Let it be the Sky Bow, as long as it is useful.
Shuyue's eyes were filled with anticipation and she suggested softly, "After we get the nitrate, how about we hide back in the Sand Gold Secret Realm? It would be safer to refine it in Mirror Lake."
After hearing this prudent arrangement, Ye Xi agreed a little: "That's great."
"We came here to kill for nitrate and sugar. We cannot lose our original foundation."
……
The situation in Tianxiang City is now chaotic.
But Ningmei's side was in full swing, snatching and taking things with great pleasure.
As for my aunt Ningmei, she stayed in the Donggeng and Donggui regions to obtain saltpeter mines, and then abandoned these secret realms and returned to her original base.
Zhao Qing followed Si He, took Miao Jian and Shen Su with them to steer the blood boat into the desolate secret realm, lying in wait and searching, waiting for Ji Meng to appear at any time, and then snatch him away.
The Ruyi Immortal Sect's strange swords are all extraordinary.
Shuyue can use the power of heaven and earth to enhance her thunder magic, which comes from the inspiration gained from the Tianqing Sword. With the guidance of the Tianqing Sword, she can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The Han Guang Sword was naturally just as mysterious, but it was not suitable for such chaotic battles involving thousands of people. Even though it could achieve invisible attacks and kills, it actually had little impact on the overall situation.
The Cloud-Cutting Sword is obviously more useful.
But this time... they were not just here to intercept the Cloud Sword.
Also, look for an opportunity to see if you can get Miao Jian out. You can't always hold Da Lei in your arms. What if it explodes one day?
He even planned to snatch back Ji Meng's sword cultivation and sword formation.
Although Zhuo Yu's whereabouts are unknown now, her help has been reduced to only one tenth, so there is obviously no chance.
Under such circumstances, it would be the best idea to get Xiao Ji to work for Ning Mei.
Of course, if Xiaoji doesn't want to.
Then take his Jieyun Sword and let him go wherever he wants.
So what if he could break out of the chaos in West City?
The sword is indeed a good sword, the sword formation is also a mysterious inheritance, and the more than one hundred sword cultivators are ready-made combat forces.
But... Shen Su doesn't care how mysterious his sword formation is, Si He also understands the Jieyun sword intent.
The four of them, three fragments of the Heavenly Dao and one Moon-Chasing Sword Master, are simply four bugs in Tianxiang City.
In a word.
If Ji Mengzhuoyu didn't help Ningmei fight others, Zhao Qing would beat him and rob him, not letting him play in the city at all.
In short, it is right to persecute Xiao Ji.
……
·
It's late afternoon.
Somewhere deep in a quiet secret realm, a mysterious spiritual palace quietly rises and falls.
The geniuses of all branches of the Nangong clan gathered here, and the two fairies recommended by the Cuiyuan lineage also met here to discuss matters.
"Now we can sit back and wait and see how things develop. The only problem is with Junior Sister Hong Ning."
"Xu Xianzi was powerless against the Heavenly Bow, and Jiang Xingzou was injured and left the city to protect his friends. If the Blood Robe Clan is the only one left, it will be very powerful..."
"I'd rather face the Jian family or the Nine Swords...why not find a way to bring the chaos to Dongren?"
"This is inappropriate. The Huangfu family is too powerful, and the Ye family is still waiting for an opportunity. We need to keep Junior Sister Hong Ning to compete with them."
"If there is chaos in the Dongren Territory, Young Master Ye might join the Ye Clan, which would be detrimental to our situation."
"..."
There were many different opinions in the Xuan Palace, but everyone was worried about the variables on Chu Hongning's side.
After Xia Yuchan left the West City Blood Chaos, each family quickly withdrew and is now obviously re-evaluating the overall situation.
Aunt Zhao Qing chose to hold on and accumulate firepower, while keeping an eye on Zhuo Yuji Meng, seeking more advantages.
As for Nangong, the chess player, after weighing the pros and cons, many people in the clan turned their attention to Chu Hongning Yexi.
"The Sky Bow is nothing to worry about."
At this moment, Nangong Yao's eyes curved, and she laughed casually as she walked leisurely.
As Cui Yuan, she possessed the authority to call upon the Water Ridge Note, so she obviously knew a lot about these things.
"Why do you say that, Sister Yao? But what are your methods of defense?"
Seeing her brother confused and thinking hard, Nangong Loli chuckled and shook her head, indicating that there was no need to worry at all.
She smiled sweetly and said, "The so-called Heavenly Bow is a mundane thing."
"It's a technique passed down from another world, involving sulfur, nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal."
"It's more common in remote states. It's a technique passed down by several people during their travels and preaching in recent years. Every time they celebrate the New Year, the fireworks display is truly dazzling. If Junior Sister Sun is interested, we can travel far and wide to see it at the end of the year..."
Seeing Nangong Yao talking and laughing like this, everyone couldn't help but smile with relief.
Everyone knew that with Cuiyuan's words confirmed, nothing in this world would be beyond their expectations.
"May I ask Fairy Nangong, how do we penetrate this sharp Heavenly Bow?"
"If the Blood Robe Clan eventually becomes powerful, won't we be too passive?"
"There's no need to figure it out, and there's no need to care too much about it." Nangong Little Loli spoke confidently, not taking the rocket seriously at all.
She looked back at the many doubtful eyes and whispered with a smile, "This thing is different from spiritual power and divine consciousness. It can be absorbed by heaven and earth and can be nurtured in the divine palace."
"Although it resembles a spiritual weapon with extraordinary power, it lacks the ability to be nimble and reused."
"Brother, may I ask how long can you use a supreme spiritual weapon?"
how long?
How long will spiritual weapons be useful?
The monks and nuns in the hall suddenly understood, and the young master of the direct lineage replied softly, "If there is no fatal battle, a hundred years of use for the supreme spiritual weapon is sufficient, and it can be passed on to disciples for a thousand years without worry!"
"This is it."
Nangong Yao looked back with a smile: "The treasure of the Heavenly Bow is made from sulfur, saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal. It cannot be reused, let alone retrieved, and its power only lasts for a few breaths."
"This technique should be derived from the Five Elements of the Blood Robe. It is slightly different from ordinary sulfur, gunpowder, and fire, but it is essentially a limited thing... not to mention in this Tianxiang City."
"This thing is large and wide, and it's difficult to carry too much into the city with a storage ring. They will naturally use up all the saltpeter and sulfur in the chaos."
"So, to break this Heavenly Bow, all we have to do is wait~"
Just wait...
Among the two fairies recommended by the Nangong family to enter the city, one is gentle, quiet and extremely talented. She is a young girl from a side branch and has only been practicing for ten years, but she is meticulous and quite steady.
Nangong Lian nodded gently at this moment, and whispered to herself: "Senior Sister Hong Ning took Dong Gui away, I think she wanted the saltpeter and sulfur in the secret realm."
"But if we leave this Heavenly Bow to someone else to wear out, accidents are bound to happen."
"If the situation in the city remains stagnant for too long, or we engage them in battle..."
She pursed her lips and paused for a moment, then frowned and said slowly, "Is there no way to resist?"
"Have!"
Nangong Yao walked lightly back to the seat at the top, and after a moment's thought, she gave her answer: "It's just a little troublesome..."
"The Immortal City is built with black gold, and the Mysterious Palace is built with strange stones. They can withstand thousands of celestial bows without being damaged."
???
Upon hearing this, the monks in the hall sighed helplessly, feeling that they were powerless.
Tianxiang City is about to be destroyed. How can there be time to build a defensive city for them?
Nangong Little Loli smiled and propped up her delicate head, seeming to enjoy watching the worried expressions of her brothers and sisters in the clan...
After everyone had discussed for dozens of breaths, she finally said with a faint smile, "I just remembered that forging armor might be more appropriate~?"
"How does the armor... compare to our clan's Star Feather Vestments?"
No, no.
This is not a matter of a moment.
Nangong Little Loli put her slender hands on the desk, and glanced at the slightly empty palace with a smile...
"Use black evil stone mixed with white grass gold to refine three thousand heavy armor."
"Fortunately, these mineral veins are not difficult to find. The shape will be based on the style of ordinary heavy armor, and it would be best if it is thicker and heavier."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone skilled in refining weapons immediately questioned, "White Grass Gold repels spiritual energy, so it can't leave any formation patterns or talismans. How can this be possible?!"
"The Black Evil Stone is also unacceptable... This mixed mineral affects the Divine Consciousness Niwan, making it inconvenient for fellow Taoists to perform their divine techniques."
"This heavy armor, which is only a form, can't even resist magic, so how can it resist the Sky Bow?"
Nangong Yao: ...
Sure enough, people who don’t read are beyond help.
Her almond-shaped eyes curved, and she sarcastically said, "I'm not asking you to refine weapons, I'm asking you to forge iron~"
"It doesn't matter what material it's made of, as long as it's strong enough to withstand the scorching heat, it'll be fine. As for the array patterns on the robes, don't bother with them; they're useless."
Nangong Lian's expression froze, and she asked in surprise: "Is that all?"
"The damage caused by the Sky Bow is so severe that even the Phoenix Emperor can't resist it. How can the advantage of earth and stone be effective?"
"Even if we were wearing stone armor, I'm afraid we would still be vulnerable to the Sky Bow."
Uh...that's because he's stupid.
Nangong Yao couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.
After pondering for a long time, she couldn't find a particularly good solution. She could only shake her head and sigh, "If being thrown headfirst by the strong wind and impact is considered a serious injury... then this is it."
