The left guard post was only thirteen miles away from Mount Huashan. Cao Jinxing led his army to rush past the official road and headed straight to Chaoyang Peak, the east peak.
The news of the appearance of the Chunyang Stone Carvings has spread throughout the world. It is related to the inheritance of Lu Zu, the top secret skill of the fourth grade. It was passed down to ten people and hundreds of people, and it quickly spread!
All sects, big and small, went to Huashan under the guise of exterminating the Demonic Cult.
How much of it is for myself is unknown.
The army marched all the way and already saw three groups of people: the Songhua Gate stationed at Songhua Temple on Songhua Mountain, the Beggar Clan disciples near Lianhua Mountain, and the Kongtong Sect whose reputation and strength were slightly less than those of Huashan Mountain.
This time, the five elders of Kongtong are all present, but their skills are not as good as those of the six sons of Huashan.
The highest sect leader only has the late cultivation level of Tongyou. Among the remaining four, there are two who have just passed Tongyou. With such strength, they can basically only pick up the slack.
It was easy for Sima Yuan to kill the six sons. Although Yue Zongwu was injured, his own fighting power was not easy to come by. Most people would give it to him for nothing.
What's more, Sima Yuan is not the only one in the Demon Cult.
"I heard from people in the Susha Gang that Sima Yuan also invited Maitreya to teach the soul boy!"
"He's here too? That little guy looks like a kid, but he's actually ruthless and murderous without blinking an eye!"
"Yes, now a large number of demon cultists have gathered under Chaoyang Peak. Not only the Taiping Sect, but also the Maitreya Sect. The incense masters of several hidden halls nearby have arrived, and more people are rushing here!"
"We must hurry up. There are more and more people, and they are getting more and more powerful, and our chances are getting smaller and smaller!"
"quick!"
Along the way, various homing pigeons were flying around, and there were also a few disciples of the Seven Bags of the Beggar Clan talking to each other on their way to Mount Huashan.
Cao Jinxing frowned, Li Fengyan had already stopped them, exchanged two silver ingots for the latest news, and then reported it to Cao Jinxing.
"Susha Gang..."
The army kept marching, and Cao Jinxing, who was on the horse, pondered and said: "...This seems to be another name for the Salt Gang. Are their words credible? Don't be the devil's sect."
"It should be credible."
Li Fengyan has been working in Shaanxi for a long time and is familiar with the details, but he did not explain too much. Instead, he said thoughtfully: "The Salt Gang has a wide range of influence, mainly distributed along the southeast coast, but there are also many people in the interior. They are in Qianlong in Hubei and Zigong in Sichuan.
Places like these have mastered many salt wells and run several salt-cooking workshops, making huge profits and making a fortune every day... Huashan is very close to the Weishui River and is also on their trade route. It is not surprising that they have first-hand information.
Moreover, the salt wells they occupy are clearly recorded in the government. The local officials turn a blind eye to their illegal salt sales, and they also have to secretly pay a large salt tax, which is regarded as cooperation. The salt gang has a great business.
Ranked fifth among the top ten gangs on the Nirvana List, they should not collude with the Demon Cult."
"Um……"
Cao Jinxing nodded.
The raw material sources of salt are divided into 4 categories: sea salt, lake salt, well salt and mineral salt. Sea salt is common along the southeast coast, and well salt is common in the inland.
The so-called well salt is to use the well digging method to extract the natural brine from the shallow surface or underground, and then boil the salt to make it, which is called "well salt".
Those salt wells have brought considerable benefits to the Salt Gang. With this relationship, the Salt Gang will not easily associate with the Demon Cult and bring disaster to themselves.
In addition to the Susha Gang, another noteworthy point is the "Maitreya Soul Boy"...
Cao Jinxing frowned.
I didn’t expect him to come too!
The three sects of Demon Sect, Ming Sect, Maitreya Sect, and Taiping Sect, are respectively derived from Ming Sect, Maitreya Sect, and Taiping Sect. Each sect has its own symbol.
Mingjiao is a saint.
The Tao of Taiping is the Tao.
Maitreya is a spiritual boy.
The "Maitreya Soul Boy" is not as useless as the Holy Maiden of the Ming Cult. According to the information of the Zhenfu Division, the martial arts practiced by the Soul Boy are very weird and mysterious, and are not among the nine evil arts. However, in terms of the degree of weirdness and danger, they are not inferior to the evil arts at all!
——The soul boy looks like a child of six or seven years old, but in fact he is probably an old monster of several dozen years old, who may have become a Dharma image.
Such people arrived so quickly, which suddenly put Cao Jinxing under great pressure.
Cao Jinxing asked himself that no one could defeat him under the Dharma Image. At least he could be invincible, but in the end he was still "under the Dharma Image".
Once he encounters the real Dharma image, his chance of winning is extremely low. The reason why it is not zero is only because of "Taixu Zhi".
The real Dharma image is not a motionless target like Xu Qingwei, nor can it stand there waiting for him to accumulate power.
The quality and quantity of Dharma Xiang Zhenqi after the second refining process far exceeds that of Tongyou. The two are incomparable.
Any martial arts has the power to destroy the heaven and earth when used by Dharma Elephant, so you have to be cautious!
Cao Jinxing thought for a while: "Let the brothers prepare rockets. If there are no rockets, make torches! The more the better, I will be useful."
"Yes, sir."
Li Fengyan is a qualified soldier. Since his superiors asked him to listen to Cao Jinxing, he would have no objection. Moreover, although Cao Jinxing is young and has great military exploits, he is really not comparable to him.
The army continued to advance.
There are more and more people on the road.
In a blink of an eye, Huashan arrived.
Huashan Mountain, known as "Xiyue" in ancient times and "Taihua Mountain" in popular terms, is a famous dangerous mountain among the Five Mountains. It is connected to the Qinling Mountains in the south and overlooks Huangwei Mountain in the north.
The mountain has five peaks.
The east peak is Chaoyang, the west peak is Lotus, the south peak is Luoyan, the north peak is Yuntai, and the lower middle peak is Jade Girl.
Cao Jinxing led his army from the west along the mountain road across the West Peak and went straight to the East Peak. He saw that the mountains were steep, the trees were quiet, the birds were singing, and the water was flowing. It was really a good place.
But the further you go, the more people there are, the louder the fighting sounds, and the sounds become more and more cruel.
From time to time, one or two death screams could be heard.
"The fight has started!"
Everyone was shocked.
Before reaching Chaoyang Peak, just at the foot of West Peak Lotus Peak, there is a large Shura field!
Hundreds of people from each side participated in the battle. Under the bright moon, the swords were shining, and everyone was fighting to the death. However, the swords were flying and blood and flesh were splashed everywhere. It was a horrific scene!
"They are the reinforcements from the Demon Cult, the Beggar Gang, the Salt Gang, and the Kongtong, Songhua and other sects."
Li Fengyan recognized several gangs from their clothes, and what faced them were several incense masters of the Taiping Sect of the Demon Sect, all dressed in black.
The situation on the battlefield is urgent!
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading! Kongtong, Songhua has few elite soldiers, the Beggar Gang, and the Salt Gang have more people but few masters. The demon sect has a clear purpose in fighting, several incense masters end up, and the masters drag the masters
, the remaining people used their absolute numerical superiority to crush them over and massacre them!
Thousands of beggar gangs and salt gang disciples fell down, and a few leading masters were entangled, anxious and helpless.
Cao Jinxing glanced at the battle situation and already knew the general situation. Without saying a word, he took out the Ten Thousand Stone Bow and used the "Phoenix Tail Archery Technique", firing four arrows in unison!
"The officers and soldiers are coming!"
Suddenly, an exclamation came from the crowd of demon sects. All the demon sect members who heard the sound could not help but tremble. When they looked up, they saw a large black torrent coming from the west. The leader was dressed like a flying fish and had a bow.
The arrows were aimed at the four incense owners!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Four arrows shot towards the four incense owners.
The arrow's speed is so great and its power is so powerful, it's rare in the world!
Before the four people could react, the sharp arrow was already close to them and passed through their heads! The Gang Qi exploded and directly shattered four heads!
The headless corpse fell to the ground, blood flowing everywhere.
The people of the Demon Cult were horrified to see it!
The Yan Gang and Beggar Gang gained momentum and burst into shocking cheers.
"kill."
Cao Jinxing put away his bow and arrows and spit out one word.
Li Fengyan raised his knife and shouted: "Kill!"
Next is crushing.
The officers and soldiers were so numerous that they killed all the hundreds of demon sect members in the blink of an eye!
Perhaps Cao Jinxing's temperament was too cold, or perhaps he was frightened by the military formation massacre that was like letting the army cut grass.
Several experts from the four factions who were about to express their thanks stopped in their tracks and did not dare to step forward.
Cao Jinxing turned a blind eye, waved his horsewhip, and led the army towards Dongfeng!
…
At this moment.
The foot of the East Peak is where the battle becomes most intense.
The Siguo Cliff Sanbao Cave is located on a high platform halfway up the mountain. Sima Yuan took the lead and took the opportunity to enter the cave with the masters of the Demon Sect.
A highly poisonous miasma was released outside the cave.
The foot of the mountain was heavily guarded.
The leader is still a fellow disciple of his lineage - he doesn't trust others either.
Most of the demon sect's brothers and sisters are superficial, and backstabbing by relatives and friends is not uncommon. Even senior brothers have to settle accounts openly. For the Chunyang Stone Carving, Sima Yuan has spent a lot of money.
"Sorry, this road is blocked."
At the foot of Chaoyang Peak, three brothers, one tall, one short, and one fat, led a large group of demon sect troops to block the intersection.
They are brothers and senior fellow apprentices.
The tall one is called Xu Long, the short one is called Xu Hu, and the fat one is called Xu Bao. They are all disciples of old man Xuan Bing and junior brother Sima Yuan.
Like Sima Yuan, these three people not only practiced the "Tai Su Yin Jing" but also the "Absorbing Gong Dafa" and have been stuck at the peak of Tongyou for many years.
The evil swordsmanship of the demon sect has taken a different approach. Before Dharma Xiang, cultivation was much faster than the traditional internal skills of the righteous way. However, because of this, the foundation was unstable and it was more difficult to advance to Dharma Xiang.
The three Xu brothers did not have a deep attachment to Dharma images, and the number of martial arts methods in Chunyang Stone Carvings did not match theirs. It was too time-consuming and labor-intensive to modify them, and they were too lazy to bother.
The peak of Tongyou is enough for them to show off their power. The reason for helping this time is not for martial arts or pure Yang golden elixir, but for the title of ten elders.
Once Sima Yuan has mastered the "Pure Yang Gong", and then uses the "Pure Yang Golden Pill" to break through the realm and be promoted to Dharma Image, he will definitely receive more attention, and it is unknown whether he will be promoted to the chief teacher and protector.
Now that the senior brothers have become prosperous, is it not a piece of cake for the three of them to be promoted to the rank of ten elders?
The title of elder not only represents top-level financial and sexual resources, but also represents greater and more rights - including the right to enter the secret realm "Tianmo Cave".
The leader, Li Shengtian, has been practicing hard in Tianmo Cave all year round. He has superb martial arts, is invincible in the world, and is respectable and awe-inspiring. Senior brothers go in once a year and are reborn every time! With such miraculous effects, of course they want to go in and have a look.
"Get away from me!"
The three brothers stood in front of the dark crowd of believers, like three high mountains. They shouted coldly and angrily at the people below: "That bullshit fifth gang is a joke in front of us! If you don't get out, I'll kill you!"
At the foot of the mountain was the second leader of the Salt Gang, Xiao Yuan, who arrived first.
Coincidentally, when Xiao Yuan received the news, he had just finished viewing the salt wells in Qianlong County, Hubei Province, and was about to go to Zigong, Sichuan to inspect the remaining ones. He heard about it on the way, and immediately gathered people and changed the route.
To Huashan.
It's a pity that it's still a step too late to hurry up and hurry up.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Sima Yuan had already blocked the mountain road and was guarding it with all kinds of precautions!
"The demon sect is really getting more and more rampant."
Xiao Yuan practices the fifth-level intermediate-level "Shaoyang Divine Art", the secret skill of the Salt Gang. He is full of fire, and the "Three Mysterious Fire Needles" in his hand are his famous hidden weapons.
"At the foot of Huashan Mountain, there is a paradise in the cave. The devil dares to occupy the mountain and rob it. How little does he look down on his fellow martial artists!"
Xiao Yuan's eyes were cold and stern, and the fire needle in his hand flashed red. He was not afraid of the large number of demon cultists, and the disciples of the Salt Gang behind him drew their swords.
"That's right! It's you who should get out!"
Next to him, there was an old man in his eighties, with white hair and a slovenly appearance. He had extremely high martial arts skills and was full of sword energy!
——Cen Yunhe, an elder from Huashan.
——Master uncle of Huashan Sixth Son.
He held a Huashan disciple's sword in his hand, raised the sword and pointed it at Xu Long and Xu Hu, and cursed: "That unscrupulous descendant of Yue Zongwu is not here, and Huashan Lao Tzu has the final say! No! His presence is also Lao Tzu's final decision! Huashan Zhang
The position of the door should have been mine! Siguoya, I can come in if I want, no matter how far it is from you!"
"hehe!"
Xu Long laughed angrily: "The lost old dog is still arrogant in front of me! Get out of here if you know how to do it! You don't know it yet, but your nephews have already been killed by my senior brother! Don't force us
I’ll kill you too!”
"You! What did you say?!"
Cen Yunhe was surprised. He had been busy contacting Langya Pavilion to send a message according to Lin Zongliang's plan. Afterwards, the branch manager praised the hospitality, which made him feel a little elated without knowing it, so he drank a few more glasses, Mi Mi Hu Hu's
, Xunsi and other martial arts colleagues joined forces to destroy the evil sect who coveted the treasures of Huashan. Yue Zongwu, that bitch, is blind and will definitely have no face to occupy the position of leader again. Who will he pass it to in the future? Is there anyone in the entire Huashan who is more virtuous and respected than me?
He felt that it was certain that he would be the leader and that his long-cherished wish of decades would finally come true, so he couldn't help but drink a few more drinks. As a result, he fell drunk as soon as he arrived at the mountain gate and fell into a deep sleep.
Sweet dreams are intoxicating...
Xiao Yuan thought he was injured and woke him up. Only then did he remember to rush to Siguoya, only to find that the place had been occupied by the Demon Cult.
——Yue Zongwu regards Sanbao Cave as a forbidden place, and he has the only key in his hand and does not need to be guarded, so he never lets anyone approach Chaoyang Peak.
This is a bad thing and a good thing.
The bad thing is that Sima Yuanlai was unaware of the situation.
The good thing is that the three generations of disciples were not massacred.
When Sima Yuan could enter Sanbao Cave, he expected that something might happen to the seriously injured Yue Zongwu... But he never thought that he would die!
The nephew was very unlucky. His right hand was injured, as was his left hand. Perhaps due to a moment of inadvertence, the bronze talisman was taken away by mistake... What's more, he didn't expect that even the other five sons...
Cen Yunhe's body swayed.
Xiao Yuan quickly supported him.
"This is impossible!"
Cen Yunhe shook his head, completely unable to accept that the three generations of disciples were insignificant. Without the sixth disciple, how could he revitalize Huashan alone?
What’s the point of being in front of the leader?
He wanted to be the leader, but he never thought about killing each other!
Yue Zongwu snatched his sword, but he endured it.
Yue Zongwu drove him down the mountain, but he tolerated it.
He is already eighty years old, and if he doesn't care about others as much as his juniors, a real fight will only make his loved ones angry and his enemies happy...
After so many years and at such an old age, being the leader is just an obsession. He can't control his mouth, but he has never thought about actually robbing it.
This is Huashan where he has lived all his life...
This is the Huashan sect that he has "coveted" all his life...
Why did it suddenly disperse?
Cen Yunhe's head was buzzing, decades of dreams were shattered, all kinds of confusion, loss, regret, and finally all merged into an unforgettable hatred!
He looked at the three brothers with red eyes, and the sword in his hand made a thrilling trembling sound!
"The Huashan sect is gone, so don't you live anymore!"
"Taibai Sword"·Seven Soul-Chasing Swords!
Cen Yunhe's sword soared into the sky, killing the three brothers.
Xiao Yuan followed closely behind.
The disciples of the Salt Gang and the followers of the Demon Cult fought together, with swords and swords flashing, and flesh and blood flying everywhere! All kinds of fighting sounds and low roars covered up the sound of the march.
until.
A low shout spread across the foot of Dongfeng Peak.
"Get the rocket and light the torch!"
Cao Jinxing finally arrived with his army and stood on the hillside. The officers and soldiers behind him uniformly drew out rockets, lit torches, and aimed at the warring parties down the mountain.
Cao Jinxing took out the [Eight Formation Diagram], instilled the Hunyuan Zhenqi, and began to control the wind and fire within four hundred meters.
As he said "let go", the torches and rockets flew down the mountain. Cao Jinxing united heaven and man and controlled the true energy. In an instant, raging flames rose into the sky and gathered into a dragon!
With a wave of Cao Jinxing's hand, the long dragon of flames wrapped in endless wind and fire burned towards the demon cultists, and the shrill screams immediately resounded through the night sky...
