A person stands tall at thirty, has no doubts at forty, knows destiny at fifty, has ears at sixty, and is ancient and rare at seventy.

After the age of eighty, the old age.

Grand Duke Huangtou has less than two months left before his eightieth birthday.

Historically, it has been very rare for people of this age to participate in rebellions. Even if a few can be found from the vast history, it is definitely because they have no choice but to face difficulties.

As for Grand Duke Huangtou, he is known as the number one sorcerer in the Fifteen Houses of Jiaozhi. His reputation is so high that no matter the Jiuying, Jiuhe of Zhenwu Temple, or the eminent monks of Nalanda Temple, they all pay three respects to him and call him

A senior person.

His direct disciples have been passed down for four generations. The total number of disciples from all over the country is more than 400. There are many rich and famous people, and there are also people who were originally ordinary people. After learning magic, they rely on their

Thanks to his abilities and his connections with his teachers, he made a fortune in the local area and became an official.

Such an extensive network of relationships naturally requires close contacts with the government. When Grand Duke Huangtou celebrated his seventieth birthday, the prefect personally came to congratulate him on his birthday to show the closeness of the relationship.

With such momentum, anyone can see that the Huangtou Taigong family is already a beneficiary of the current situation in Jiaozhi.

He worked desperately to help people rebel, but there must be damage in the process, destroying the personal relationships established over the years. Even if the rebellion is successful in the end, the reward that can be fed back to him may not be as much as it is now.

No one with a clear mind would do anything that concerns one's wealth and one's life, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, Qiu Shi and the others never expected that Guild Huangtou would take action at this time.

Even Hanaya found it unbelievable when she first got on the line with this old guy. She wondered if this old guy was trying to lure a snake out of its hole and put bait to fish. However, after working together a few times, they gradually deepened and gained mutual affection.

trust.

When he struck with the first axe, he relied on Lu Banshu's understanding of the structure of the house to destroy the entire house and the Feng Shui platform. With the second strike of the axe, he killed four mages who were caught off guard.

These four people seemed to be stabbed by a large amount of invisible dry wood, which suddenly filled their five senses and seven orifices. Their mouths were wide open, their eyes, noses and ears were bleeding. They gurgled twice in their throats and died.

Seeing the four corpses fall, the face of the desolate grandfather was radiant and his murderous intent became more intense. He stared at the figures in Taoist robes and swung the third axe.

Luban's magic is based on the surrounding houses.

An invisible force blew through the air, and hundreds of tiles on the dilapidated roofs that had been in disrepair for a long time flew towards Qiu Shi and the others.

Qiu Shi and his fellow juniors had a perfect tacit understanding. As soon as they fell among the ruins, they had already swept their legs in one direction, kicked away debris, and gained room for movement.

Everyone adjusted their steps slightly, their swords pointed outwards in unison, and they moved their swords in a circle.

All the tiles scattered from all directions were shot down by them.

But at this time, the soldiers in the northern part of the town were defeated, and some nine-foot giants rushed towards this direction.

Qiu Shi, Master Gaodian and others did not dare to block the attack of these giants in their haste, so they had to retreat together, using the houses in the town and walking through the streets and alleys to deal with these nine-foot giants.

Master Xuluo recited the mantra of the Oriental Medicine Master Glazed Light King Tathagata. He swayed left and right, taking one step forward and one step back. Four clouds of insects as big as his entire body scattered out.

Countless insects swept forward with a buzzing sound.

Unlike when he competed with Guan Luoyang in the ring, this time, Master Xuluo made a killing blow and all the bugs contained in his body flew out.

Flying insects have very little impact on those nine-foot giants. At most, they can close their eyes, raise their shields, and protect their faces. The insect bites and toxins have basically no impact on them.

But among these flying insects, some deadly poisonous insects with brighter colors were sneaking towards Taigong Huangtou.

The colored paper on Taigong Huangtou's body flapped layer by layer. From between the layers of the paper, red and yellow smoke filled the air. The insects that flew to nearby were smoked to death one after another and fell to the ground.

He walked slowly forward among a group of nine-foot giants. His movements were much slower than those of the giants around him, and his stature also appeared to be much shorter.

But the threat of such an old man and a small ax is the strongest in the whole place.

It was even as if he was being used as a spearhead, driving the dozens of nine-foot giants around him to form a shadow of death, approaching the mages step by step.

The two groups of people retreated and pursued each other, heading from west to south.

After the defense line in the northern part of the town was defeated, the remaining soldiers could only rely on the cover of various buildings to fight and flee to delay time.

If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that the path of their battle basically spreads from the north and then gradually converges to the south.

This is just a small town, and the layout of the houses is of course not very particular. There is no main road running through the central axis from north to south.

But there were people jumping and fighting fiercely on rooftops of all sizes along this central axis.

"Yang Lian, you have a big beard, but you have still made progress in the past few years. It is not easy. Unfortunately, you are not as diligent as I am."

Hanami's words were sarcastic. Some of the places he stepped on were rotten bricks and earth walls, and some were crumbling tiles. No matter what kind of terrain it was, when he stepped on it, it seemed as if he was touching it, and his body felt stable.

It's beyond the past.

Sword shadows danced along with her figure in mid-air, chasing each other through house after house, never leaving the vital points of Master Yang Lian.

After the Mantis Sect's boxing and footwork has been practiced to the highest level, two three-foot-long, four-inch-wide, lacquered thin wooden boards are tied under the soles of the feet, and one can even tread water and run for hundreds of feet. Such terrain cannot stop him at all.

Live her.

On the other hand, Master Yang Lian relied on the Baori magic to control the heat. Every time his broad monk robes danced, he glided away carrying the heat.

This is also an extremely skillful movement technique. Only in this way can he barely keep a distance of about two feet from Hana Mi's sword and avoid being stabbed directly.

Hearing Hua Mi's ridicule, he felt angry and couldn't help scolding him: "That old dog, Huangtou, is getting confused in his old age, and he is not safe at the end of his life. What kind of ecstasy has been given to him by you?"

"Even without him, if there are only twenty or so of you, disturbing the Yin Qi, the most it will do is make the heavenly princes and grandchildren feel more dizzy."

Hua Mi said coldly, "After hundreds of years of trying, several generations of hard work, and even the Chengyin Earthquake and the disturbance of the Qi along the coast, we have achieved this amazing army. If you think you can see some flaws, you really are."

Was it so easy to be restrained?"

Grand Master Yang Lian had a hot temper and was about to retort when a chill suddenly ran down his spine and alarm bells rang in his mind. He stood still and stepped on the ridge of a roof, with his feet shoulder-width apart.

The ten toes tightened and clasped together, and the hands exerted force almost simultaneously. The ten fingers were flexed or stirred to form a seal.

In an instant, there seemed to be eight rays of flame rising up from under his feet, like eight lotus petals coming together, covering his entire body as if it were real or illusory.

In the surrounding air, dozens or hundreds of squeaking sounds were heard superimposed, and multiple depressions appeared on the protective lotus.

All kinds of strange insects, each smaller than a sesame seed, such as multi-horned worms, wingless beetles, and four-legged white spiders, are embedded in the protective lotus.

Most of the descendants in Nanyang wear loose hakama to facilitate the collection of various Gu artifacts and utensils.

Hua Mi only wore a fancy outfit, with her navel exposed, sleeves reaching her elbows, and trousers reaching her knees. However, in the blink of an eye, the poison she spread out silently was already more powerful than many poisons hidden in her body.

There are too many things.

There are five depressions on this lotus, which just correspond to the face of Master Yang Lian. There seems to be no insects inside, but they are constantly smoking, almost eroding through the lotus.

And the five traces of erosion, at first glance, look like a weird smiling face that is smoking.

"The ugly face is light with smoke, but the smile is full of springs"!

You don't need any other medium, you can use smoke to cast poison, which is a higher level of attainment in the head-dropping technique than the flying head-dropping technique.

Those who suffer from this kind of head drop will have seven emotions mixed up, six desires rushing into their brains, and they will be unable to control their emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy.

In the early years of Jianwu, there was a demon man in Nanyang who used this method to control hundreds of people at the same time. Women thought they would love him until death, and men thought they were loyal to him. But they didn't know that he just lowered his head and controlled their passions.

Later, Chen Yonghua raised the giant sword of the magic weapon, selected a thousand warriors, and struggled in the mountains and fields for more than half a month before eradicating this man. Chen Yonghua, who had always been graceful and capable in both civil and military affairs, was so angry at this man's behavior that he whipped his corpse.

After being exposed to the sun for fifteen days, his bones were bruised and ashes scattered, and he wrote down his fifty-seven crimes.

Grand Master Yang Lian thought of some of the shocking and extraordinary things mentioned in the indictment, and a lot of beads of sweat the size of red beans suddenly appeared on his forehead. When the white horse passed by, he was consuming a lot of energy and let out a roar.

All the mana and energy in his body rushed towards the five streaks of green smoke, knocking out five hanging flames and killing the smoke Gu. He felt that his own strength had also been reduced by nearly 70%.

With one sweep of his sword, Hua Mi cut open the lotus and cut open his monk's robe.

Master Yang Lian struck with his other sleeve, knocking the sword blade away.

Hanaya jumped forward and hit his chest with her knee, knocking Master Yang Lian away from the roof.

General Yu led a group of defeated soldiers and was about to take the King of Yue to escape, when he saw Master Yang Lian falling from mid-air and rolling several times.

"cough!"

Yang Lian vomited a mouthful of blood, pressed one hand to the ground, and fell to the ground with barely any support.

Qiu Shi and others also retreated here at this time.

In the lanes ahead, nine-foot giants were chasing after them with shields in hand. Some even knocked down door frames and tore down the ruins.

The King of Yue is sitting on a chair at the door, with a roof leaking light behind him. There are futons, spiritual tablets, and wooden tablets in the yard. The words are blurred, the red paint is mottled, and strips of yellow curtains hang down from the beams, covered with spider webs.

.

It seems that this place was once an ancestral hall in the town, but the walls and portals are also damaged.

"The Yao family of Jiaozhi had already dominated the Chengyin Mansion eighty years ago, and there were rumors that they wanted to become the king. However, when Chen Yonghua, a great scholar, regained Jiaozhi, the Yao family surrendered and was able to protect their family. Later, the imperial court reduced the power of the Yao family and divided it

The family moved to Jiaozhou, Thanhhua, and Dongning prefectures."

"After all these years, the Yao family of Qinghua Prefecture still has the desire to collude with Ma Qiang and water pirates. I know these things very well. Do I really think you can succeed?"

The King of Yue raised his head and looked over. He was obviously injured and weak. He was feeling more and more painful. It was a little difficult to even stand up. In terms of momentum, he still seemed to be the one who was condescending and looking at all parties.

"Hehehe!"

Hua Mi laughed and said, "If you really know everything about me, do you know what my life experience is? Do you know these five hundred heavenly kings and grandpa Huangtou? Oh, this is the end of the story, not important."

The King of Yue looked solemn and awe-inspiring, but the people on the roof were smiling in a confused way.

"I want to delay time. In fact, I especially like to see powerful and powerful people speaking harshly when they are at the end of their rope. It's a pity that people like you look better dead."
