Chapter 284: The Eve of the Final Battle (Long Chapter)
War is destined to be cruel.
In just a few days, no less than 100,000 people died, and even the two empires could not afford it.
The Battle of Jialing Pass broke out a few days ago. The two great empires of Tiandou and Xingluo joined forces and sent out an army of 100,000 to fight against the army of the Wuhun Empire.
This battle lasted for three days and three nights before it ended tragically. Jialing Pass was lost and occupied by Bibi Dong.
For Tiandou and Xingluo, it was a tragic day. They sacrificed more than 70,000 soldiers but failed to win back the city of Jialing Pass. All their sacrifices were in vain.
Under the leadership of Bibi Dong, the Wuhun Empire was extremely powerful. Facing the desperate fighting between the two empires, it only lost tens of thousands of people and won the war.
This victory shocked all parties and was bound to spread throughout the continent. The tragic defeat of the two empires would highlight the reputation of the Wuhun Empire.
At this moment, dozens of miles away from Jialing Pass, the yellow sand was endless, the green plants withered, and turned into dead soil, and the surrounding area was desolate.
After a great war, this place has long lost its vitality, the land has withered and is no longer suitable for survival.
The Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire were defeated, but that doesn't mean they gave up. The remaining troops temporarily camped here, waiting for support.
"If this battle hadn't happened so suddenly, how could we have been defeated by the Wuhun Empire? Military advisor, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Xue Beng was furious, his hair was flying, and his armor was stained with blood.
How could he not be angry? Even he, the Emperor of Tiandou, was almost beheaded and died miserably in this war.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. We suffered a loss in numbers this time, but we can win it back next time. I have already asked people to contact the Haotian Sect and various sects." Ning Fengzhi said.
The faces of several generals present were filled with indignation. If it weren't for the sudden attack by the Wuhun Empire, they would not have had time to mobilize their troops and would not have been defeated so thoroughly.
Tiandou and Xingluo together have a million strong armies, as well as many Titled Douluo and hundreds of Soul Douluo. Why should they be afraid of the Pope Bibi Dong?
Although Avalanche was angry, he also understood that it was not easy to fight now and he could only calm down and wait for support.
A day later, good news came from afar. The Haotian Sect and its disciples went out to participate in the Battle of Jialing Pass to resolve the hatred with the Spirit Hall.
Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, Lieyang Douluo, and four elders of the Haotian Sect all went out together. They had high levels of cultivation and were all Super Douluo above level 95.
The people of the Power Clan, the Agility Clan, the Defense Clan, and the four clans are all on their way to join Tiandou's camp and fight against the Wuhun Empire together.
In addition, a new force, the Tang Sect, has also arrived. This is the sect founded by Tang San. The elders of the four clans joined in to create the glory of the Tang Sect. They developed various mechanical hidden weapons, as well as a range-aiming hidden weapon with great lethality, the Buddha's Wrath Tanglian.
This time, the large number of hidden weapons they brought are enough for most of the Tiandou army to use, allowing ordinary people to have the combat power of Soul Sect or Soul King level.
"That's great!" Xue Beng was overjoyed when he heard the news. That was his teacher's Tang family army, and his teacher's sect, which would definitely strengthen Tiandou's military power.
Two days later, another piece of good news came from the camp. The people who went to Poseidon Island that year came back.
"Dad, Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu, we are back." After Ning Rongrong came back, she immediately threw herself into Ning Fengzhi's arms.
Seeing their little princess return safely, Jian Douluo and Bone Douluo looked kind and felt relieved.
"Hello, seniors." At this time, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun walked in and bowed to the two Super Douluo.
They were full of energy, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. There was a mark between their eyebrows, which showed that they had obtained a great opportunity.
Dai Mubai was handsome and elegant in a white battle armor. He had his arm torn off by Chen Xuan. After he went to the Sea God Island, he absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old left arm bone and it has grown back.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were surprised and noticed the marks on the two men's brows, which contained a charm exactly the same as when Tang San obtained the inheritance of the Sea God.
"We have obtained the inheritance from God." Dai Mubai explained.
After going to the Sea God Island, he was chosen by a second-level god who called himself the God of War and arranged a divine examination. He is different now, just like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and has become a noble inheritor of the gods.
Ma Hongjun said that he was chosen by the first-level God of Fire and was undergoing a divine examination. Now he came to help the Tiandou army, which was part of the divine examination.
"You're serious!" Xue Beng was overjoyed when he heard that. Even the extremely noble gods were helping them. How could the Tiandou and Xingluo coalition army not win?
The Wuhun Empire and Pope Bibi Dong will definitely lose!
"Your Majesty, helping the Tiandou army is indeed part of our assessment." Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun said truthfully.
Both of them were very grateful to Chen Xuan, because they felt that it was the other person who made them who they are today, otherwise how could they be so lucky to pass the divine test.
Dai Mubai smiled evilly and swore that the next time he saw Chen Xuan, he would definitely kill him and use his blood to wash away the shame on him.
"Mu Bai, Hong Jun, how is Xiao San?" Ning Fengzhi suddenly spoke, showing great concern about the matter.
Xue Beng looked terrified and asked anxiously, "After you went to Poseidon Island, did the teacher come back alive?"
The two sighed, looking somewhat lonely, and remained silent for a long time.
Everyone present had a changed look on their faces, and their hearts skipped a beat. They had already guessed the answer.
Dai Mubai sighed and said, "We don't know either. Xiao San was taken to the God Realm by the Sea God. Before he left, the Sea God told us that Xiao San didn't have a body, so it would be difficult to revive him, unless we found a body that was suitable for him, but that's easier said than done."
Hearing this, everyone looked sad. Even the invincible Sea God was powerless. Who else in the world could save Tang San?
"Where is Xiao Ao? How is he?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo and others all looked at Ning Rongrong. At that time, Oscar was chopped in half by Chen Xuan, and his body was taken to Poseidon Island by Shrek.
Ning Rongrong showed some joy on her face and said, "Xiao Ao was resurrected by the Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food. Moreover, both gods chose us to let Xiao Ao and I accept their divine test."
At this time, everyone noticed that there was a green mark between Ning Rongrong's eyebrows, the same as the ones on Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
"That's great. You are worthy of being my daughter, Rongrong. Daddy is honored of you." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo looked at each other, then smiled and said, "As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Rongrong, the life and death you and Xiao Ao experienced may also be a test from the Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food."
Xue Beng was very happy. Now Tian Dou had the support of many gods, so there was no reason for him to lose.
Next, they only need to wait for reinforcements. Once the army arrives, they can sound the horn again and retake the city of Jialing Pass!
……
At the same time, on the other side of the sunset forest
It was a day later when Chen Xuan and Xiao Wu found out about these things.
A day ago, Chen Xuan ended his retreat and walked out of the Sunset Forest to look for a way to break through level 100. He and Xiao Wu passed through the Tiandou Empire and heard news of war in a small town.
The war was fierce, with nearly 100,000 people killed, and ended with the tragic defeat of the Tiandou and Xingluo empires, and the city of Jialing Pass fell into the hands of the Wuhun Empire. After learning the exact battle time, Chen Xuan deduced that the next war would come soon, and by then both sides would gather all their available forces to start a world-shaking war.
At that time, no matter what the result is, both sides will inevitably suffer losses. If a third party intervenes, it can annex the Wuhun Empire, Tiandou and Xingluo Empire.
"What is Qian Renxue thinking?" Chen Xuan was puzzled. He didn't know whether the woman had completed the Angel God Rely or not.
This is an opportunity that cannot be missed. If you fail to seize it, it will become extremely difficult to take down Bibi Dong or the Tiandou Empire in the future.
"Chen Xuan, let's go home quickly. I'm worried that Qiu'er is in danger." After learning about the cruelty of war, Xiao Wu felt timid and uneasy, and the first thing she thought of was her daughter.
Her face was pale and she was in a state of panic, fearing that people from the two empires would implicate her Qiu'er.
Chen Xuan nodded, but he couldn't feel at ease. When war came, money, supplies, weapons, soldiers and food were all in short supply. It was difficult to guarantee that the small town occupied by Qian Renxue would not be affected.
It was many days later that they received the information. He learned from the local people that the Battle of Jialing Pass had already started seven or eight days ago.
It is hard to imagine how much supplies and gold soul coins hundreds of thousands of people will consume during these days.
"Let's go home!" Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately tore open a space crack and stepped in with Xiao Wu.
The two of them disappeared in a flash, moving away from the area.
Although Qian Renxue left most of the troops behind before leaving, Chen Xuan was still worried and concerned about accidents.
brush!
In just a moment, Chen Xuan crossed two hundred miles and returned to the coordinates he had left behind. He took Xiao Wu out of time and space and returned to the present world.
It's not that he didn't want to go back to Qian Renxue's small town directly, but he really couldn't afford it. The soul power consumed in crossing the space was dozens of times that of Flying Thunder God, and two hundred miles was already the limit.
Chen Xuan carved the word "Warlock" on a small boat, and then took Xiao Wu on it, steering the boat into the air and flying away.
At his current speed, he would be able to return to his residence in two or three hours at most.
On the way, Chen Xuan did not waste time. He took out the silver dagger and golden paper, read quickly, and began to practice the contents of the sword scripture.
"With my current mental strength, I should be able to complete my practice." He whispered. After integrating the Yin force, he evolved his spiritual power, which was two levels higher than before.
He released his divine power, controlled the silver dagger, practiced according to the methods in the sword manual, performed various moves, and drew a variety of trajectories.
With a whoosh, the silver dagger flew across the air, cutting out a flying sword rune, locking the void and creating layer upon layer of ripples.
"It's done." Chen Xuan showed a look of joy. He finally practiced this sword manual to the highest level.
When he reached the final level, he not only mastered the flying sword rune, but also gained an unexpected reward. This silver dagger was different. Some words appeared on the surface of the sword embryo with extraordinary charm, as if it had evolved.
Chen Xuan was extremely surprised. As long as he injected divine power into this flying sword, it could actually destroy the spiritual body and soul and directly threaten the spirit!
"Good stuff!" He was delighted. With this thing, even if he had not cultivated to level 100, it made up for it to some extent.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan remembered the upgrade gift package. Some time ago, it seemed that a grass of enlightenment had bloomed, which could help people attain enlightenment?
He called up the system panel and quickly checked the reward items in the upgrade package.
"Enlightenment Grass can help a person break through the limits of their cultivation and reach certain realms!"
This is an introduction to the system’s capabilities. It is simple and clear, and summarizes the function of this grass in one sentence.
"Break through the bottleneck of cultivation?" Chen Xuan was surprised and eager to move. Wasn't he currently stuck at the limit of cultivation and unable to make any progress?
However, he held back and suppressed the thought in his heart. Since the effect of this grass was so abnormal, the right thing to do was to save it until the next breakthrough and not waste it.
After all, he already had a way to break through, and at this stage, all he needed was an opportunity.
Next, Chen Xuan checked the other two reward items, and he directly skipped the one hundred thousand gold soul coins.
"Beast God Flower Vine, what is this?" He wondered, clicked on the item introduction column, and began to read its specific functions.
After reading the information, Chen Xuan suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, because this thing was useless and had no effect on Xiao Wu.
The Beast God Flower Vine can help soul beasts restore their vitality, bring extremely powerful vitality, and can break through the upper limit once. If this effect acts on a divine beast, all effects will be doubled.
The stuff is good, but it is useless to Chen Xuan. Since Xiao Wu broke through level 60, she has been a perfect human being. Now she has cultivated to level 92 and is no longer a hundred thousand year old soft bone charm rabbit.
As for himself, it was even more impossible for him to use it.
"Forget it, let's put it away first. I'll have a chance to catch a divine beast to mount in the future." Chen Xuan shook his head and stopped thinking about these problems.
When he had the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, he had already learned the magic of Myoboku Mountain. For someone like him who often used natural energy, it was almost no difficulty at all.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Chen Xuan and Xiao Wu landed in the small town of Qian Renxue's team. They finally returned home and reunited with their family.
"That's great, Qiu'er is fine." Xiao Wu had been thinking about her all the way and finally saw their baby daughter.
Chen Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as nothing happened, he had thought something had happened to his family when he saw the ruined city wall outside the city just now.
"By the way, where is Zhuqing?" he asked. He could not sense Zhu Zhuqing's presence within a radius of dozens of miles.
Jiangzhu shook her head and said, "Qian Renxue came back a few days ago, and Zhuqing followed her. She didn't say where she was going."
"It seems that Sister Zhuqing mentioned that she wanted to go to the Spirit Hall with Sister Axue to do important things. I don't know anything else. I didn't pay attention to their conversation at the time." Chen Yiyi said.
"Spirit Hall?" Chen Xuan frowned slightly. What was Qian Renxue doing? Could it be that the content of the divine test was related to Zhu Qing?
But this shouldn’t be the case. How can Zhuqing help her?
"Okay, don't think too much. Axue doesn't seem like a bad person and she will definitely not do anything to Zhuqing." Xiao Wu comforted.
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Jiangzhu, Yiyi, I'm glad you're all right. The war is coming, so don't leave the city for the time being."
"Hmph, brother, you may not know yet, but I'm very powerful now. My soul power broke through again a few days ago." Chen Yiyi said proudly, holding her swan neck high.
"Okay, okay, now I know how powerful you are." Chen Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Afterwards, he took out six carefully selected immortal herbs that were especially suitable for the two people's martial spirits, so that Jiangzhu and Chen Yiyi could absorb them as quickly as possible to improve their strength, so as to avoid danger in the days ahead, or at least have a plan to deal with it.
Jiangzhu opened her mouth with a look of horror on her face, and took the three magic herbs in disbelief.
She was shocked and excited, thinking that Chen Xuan was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that he really found the magic grass. In the past, when the master was still there, he said that the magic grass was more precious than the hundred thousand year soul bone, and it was hard to come by.
"Wow, this is the herbal jelly. It must be delicious!" Chen Yiyi's eyes lit up and she swallowed.
This made Chen Xuan and Xiao Wu feel ashamed. They stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
