Chapter 16: Life and Death for Life and Death
In the blink of an eye after Cheng Qianli and Cui Xu fought, a man in Taoist robes galloped straight towards the imperial city in the Taishi Courtyard of Kyoto.
The sound of the horse's hooves was like dense raindrops, like hundreds of crossbows passing through the hall, shattering the dreams of countless people on both sides of the road. Some people murmured two curses and rushed to reincarnate in the middle of the night.
, fell asleep again.
The Taoist priest flew into the imperial city, showing only a handful of Taishiyuan waist badges, and the imperial guards guarding both sides did not even say a word.
I let go, but I was thinking secretly: I wonder what big thing happened that made the people of Taishiyuan so anxious.
The Taoist priest put his horse down and galloped all the way into the palace. Finally, he knelt down in front of a palace and held up a scroll of bamboo slips. "Your Majesty, Imperial Master, there is an approval letter in the order book."
In the hall, a long, slender, pale hand stretched out, took the life book and returned to the hall.
"Master, how are you?" Li Tang, who had been waiting all night, stepped forward, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes that seemed tired and excited.
The Taoist priest in Bagua robe opened the bamboo slip, glanced at the approval document, placed the bamboo slip on the table, and said, "Tonight, one of Cheng Qianli and Cui Xu will die."
Li Tang was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He made a fist with his right hand and said hello.
At this time, Dong'a City was blazing with light and shadow, and Cui Xu and Cheng Qianli were already fighting fiercely.
Viewed from the ground, the large clouds in the sky were shattered, as if someone had used a knife to divide the clouds with a radius of dozens of miles into pieces of scales, which were thin and meticulous, but one could really see clearly in the clouds
There are only a few people crossing each other's figures.
I just saw lightning falling to the ground firmly and tremblingly. It was a vision of two people fighting hand to hand. The darkness piled up on the horizon was brightened for a moment and then quickly subsided. The howling of the wind rose with the wind of the palm, and the moonlight pouring down like a column was cut like gold powder.
Broken light, this is beyond human power!
Li Chen squinted his eyes slightly and barely crossed the layers of clouds. He saw the two of them suddenly throwing away the weapons in their hands and striking each other with swords and hammers. The screams seemed to contain years of resentment and anger. He saw the ancestor of the Cheng family again.
Waving his palms, a distant dragon roar sounded, and a gleaming golden dragon appeared. Its scales advanced layer by layer, and the dragon's head appeared every detail. The dragon's whiskers floated to both sides in the sound of wind, illuminating the entire Dong'a.
city.
The people in the city could not see the scene behind the clouds, but many people were awakened by the light and hurriedly put on their clothes and went out. The chickens and dogs in the city barked loudly and then quickly stopped, leaving behind waves of frightened whimpering, as if they were being strangled by something.
It hurt my throat. The rustling and shaking of the leaves resounded throughout the city, and the raindrops from the sky also fell one after another, from slow to fast. The light pierced through these raindrops, illuminating a golden world.
The ancestor of the Cui family turned his palm into a sword and faced the golden dragon. Starting from the dragon's horn, he swung it past and heard a painful dragon roar. Layers of dragon scales scattered in the air like gold foil, and then disappeared quickly, followed by the dragon.
The head, dragon tendons, and keel bones were peeled off piece by piece.
As soon as the golden dragon left, the oppressive feeling of heaven and earth quickly disappeared, large swaths of dark clouds dispersed, and the moon poked its head out. However, from the extreme brightness to the dark night, the people on the ground could not adapt for a while, and seemed to be blind for a moment.
Li Chen had already been dumbfounded. In the fleeting battle just now, whether it was the independent attack of the two magic soldiers or the appearance of magical powers like living beings, it was not a scene that could be recorded in the world. He himself
Since he was born, he can understand the truth of every method in the world at a glance, but at this time, the methods used by the two people in mid-air were not something he could see through.
"Although I usually heard that great cultivators have the power of heaven and earth in their actions, today I know the difference between them and the Other Shore Realm. Although the Other Shore Realm has become powerful, it is still just an illusion after all, like wind and fog. The magical powers of the two of them have already
There is no change, and just now Cheng Qianli waved a golden dragon out of the world. The pressure between heaven and earth is deep, and it seems that it can ascend to heaven and earth and travel around the world like a living creature, but I don't know how long it can live." Li Chen thought to himself.
I don't know how long the battle lasted. I could only see the moon moving westward and finally hanging quietly on the willow branches.
Under the tower, Cheng Zhi'an only heard thunder rolling, and there was a bright light behind the clouds, but he couldn't see what the situation of this battle would be like. He was anxiously waiting for the outcome, stamping his feet and saying: "Don't the rumors say that the ancestor and the ancestor of the Cui family are friends of the Eight Worshipers?
? Why do you suddenly want to take action and say you don’t care about life or death?"
Cheng Lixue on the side did not say anything, but remembered something that her father had said to her:
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Holy Dynasty, my ancestor returned home seriously injured, with all his bones and muscles broken. Later, he recovered from his injuries and spent decades building the Star-Reaching Tower. My father said it was to fulfill the last wish of an old friend.
From then on, the ancestor refused to marry a wife and had no heirs, leaving them alone to carry on the Cheng family bloodline.
At this moment, a mournful cry suddenly came from outside the sky, and two streams of light fell from the sky. After the great shock, the ground was sunken in two places. In one place, a long sword pierced the ground, and in the other place, a black and yellow fine steel hammer stood.
At the same time, the roar that echoed through the middle of the night stopped, and the battle seemed to have finally come to an end.
After a long time, which seemed to have spanned hundreds of years, a man walked out with heavy steps from the shadow of the Star Reaching Tower. It was Li Chen.
Behind him was a dying old man.
On this night, dragons fought in the wild, meteors flashed, forgetful worries fought with forgotten worries, life and death exchanged life and death.
