Chapter 218 Clear
The dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker.

The war in front of Luoyang City showed no signs of stopping because of the change in weather.

This battle is crucial.

For Li Shimin, he only needed to win this battle to successfully unify the Central Plains.

How could he hold back at this crucial last step? He had already given it his all.

A large number of soldiers continuously attacked the city walls of Luoyang.

The masters on Li Shimin's side were also not idle.

These masters were trying to make themselves the spearhead of Li Tang's army and forcibly break through the defense line of Luoyang City.

They wanted to break into the city and completely dismantle Luoyang's defenses from within.

You Chuhong fought against Fan Qinghui and Monk Lekong very easily without any pressure and suppressed them completely.

Although they are stronger than Fan Qinghui and the others, it is not easy to completely defeat them.

As a result, You Chuhong was now trapped here and had no way to escape in a short time.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

the other side,
Of course, Li Shimin sent more than just these few experts.

Hou Xibai and Ba Fenghan also rushed to Luoyang City, but they were intercepted by Dugu Feng.

This time, Dugu Feng did not stand by and was not polite to Ba Fenghan and Hou Xibai, but attacked directly.

Ba Fenghan and Hou Xibai were both defeated by Dugu Feng. When they were fighting for the Heshi Bi, they were brutally beaten by Dugu Feng, which left a shadow deep in their hearts.

After not seeing each other for many years, Ba Fenghan and Hou Xibai could still feel the oppressive feeling from Dugu Feng.

They knew that Dugu Feng was very powerful, so they naturally did not dare to let Dugu Feng make the first move, so the two of them attacked immediately.

but,

As soon as they made their move, they were at a disadvantage.

Dugu Feng's major was the [Nine Swords of Dugu] passed down by Wang Ming. This sword technique was to be used in conjunction with the concept of no moves.

Ba Fenghan used his favorite sword technique [Sword Technique of Stealing the Sky] to attack Dugu Feng. This was the extremely powerful sword technique that Ba Fenghan gained after being beaten half to death by Bi Xuan and practicing [Day Changing Technique]. It not only retained the usual ruthlessness and trickiness of his original sword technique, but also became more imaginative and unrestrained, leaving no trace. He defeated the enemy in impossible situations, and it often seemed that he defeated the enemy with one sword. In fact, the changes in the moves were so subtle and mysterious that it was difficult to describe. It was slow and fast, and it made light work of heavy things, with the demeanor of a king.

Unfortunately, once he drew his sword, it meant he had a move.

Where there is a move, there is a flaw!

If there is a flaw, it will be restrained by [Nine Swords of Dugu].

As long as the moves are made using the limbs, there is no hope of escaping the cracking range of [Nine Swords of Dugu].

Dugu Fengjiao shouted: "Sword Breaking Style!"

Ba Fenghan was horrified. His confident [Heaven-stealing Sword Technique] was broken in an instant.

This made him feel as if he was back in that moonlit night.

That night when the absolutely beautiful woman before him held a three-foot-long sword and beat him to death over and over again.

That had been his nightmare for years.

He thought that he had become a grandmaster and could avenge his past defeat with the [Heaven-stealing Sword Technique], but he didn't expect that this was actually a replay of his nightmare.

Ba Fenghan's sword move was broken and his mind was in a daze.

The time he was in this daze was actually very short, but in a battle of their level, it was a very long time.

The time he was stunned was enough for his opponent to do many things.

For example: thrust a sword into his throat.

Dugu Feng wanted to stab the sword in his hand at this moment.

"Ding!"

Ba Fenghan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself: "It was a close call, I almost stayed here forever."

He looked at Dugu Feng with vigilance and said without turning his head: "Thank you, Brother Hou, for saving me."

Hou Xibai said casually: "Feng Han, you are too polite."

It turned out that Hou Xibai used the weapon in his hand to knock Dugu Feng's sword off course at the critical moment.

Hou Xibai stood beside Ba Fenghan holding a folding fan. On the fan in his hand were painted several stunning beauties. The lifelike painting was amazing. Every woman in the painting was in her most beautiful state.

The woman on this folding fan can be said to be one of the most beautiful people in the world.

Hou Xibai is Shi Zhixuan's apprentice.

Shi Zhixuan is the only person in the Demon Sect who possesses the unique skills of both sects, but he has also suffered greatly.

The mental methods of these two schools can be said to be two extremes that are difficult to reconcile, so when it came to inheritance, Shi Zhixuan once again separated the two schools' inheritance.

And Hou Xibai is the one who carries on Shi Zhixuan's inheritance of the Huajian School.

The practice of Huajian School is to seek ruthlessness in the midst of affection. In literary terms, it means to pass through a sea of ​​flowers without getting a single leaf on you.

In fact, it means to pull out that thing ruthlessly.

You must first let yourself truly fall in love with a woman, and then cut off this relationship.

Every time he experiences a relationship, his state of mind becomes stronger and his strength becomes stronger.

Every time Hou Xibai let go of a relationship, he would paint a portrait of that woman on his folding fan.

unfortunately,

His journey of cultivating his mind came to an end when he met Shi Feixuan.

Like Shi Zhixuan, he fell into the hands of the Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai.

Hou Xibai has never been able to truly erase her image from his heart, nor has he been able to leave a portrait of Shi Feixuan on his folding fan.

Originally, his martial arts would have stagnated at the Grandmaster level, but he followed the protagonist Kou Zhong and others and obtained his master's [Immortal Seal] and successfully became a Grandmaster.

Hou Xibai and Ba Fenghan knew that they were no match for Dugu Feng, so they immediately attacked Dugu Feng together.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The powerful entry of the four great Buddhist monks made the defensive battle of the Luoyang soldiers on the city wall even more difficult.

then,

Wang Ming's grandson Yang You also had to come in person to resist the four holy monks.

Although these four great monks do not kill people, a soldier will fall down with every move.

The chances of this person surviving if he falls on the battlefield are slim.

This is just a matter of not killing lightly.

These four people are like a tiger among a flock of sheep, and are about to break through the defense line here.

Although Yang You was the crown prince and the most noble person in Luoyang City except Wang Ming, he still had to come and take the risk.

The city of Luoyang belongs to the Sui Dynasty.

It belongs to the Sui Dynasty court, it belongs to his family.

It belongs to him, Yang You.

It can be said that this is to protect his family business. How can Yang You not work hard?
Yang You shouted loudly: "Dragon fighting in the wild!!!"

Venerable Emperor Xin said quickly: "Yang You is here."

Immediately, the four of them stopped attacking the other soldiers and prepared to form a formation to deal with the upcoming attack. This was exactly what Yang You wanted, otherwise how could he see through his moves. "Bang!!!"

A roar was heard, creating a gust of air that pushed the soldiers around them away.

These soldiers were not stupid. They knew that this was not a battle they could intervene in, so they all moved away from the range of the battle.

Yang You didn't care that his move was resolved by the four great Buddhist monks, as he didn't expect it to be effective.

【Shocked by a Hundred Miles】

Yang You pushed out with one palm, carrying a strong and powerful force towards the four holy monks.

boom!
Master Zhihui shouted, "Yang You's palm power is amazing. Don't resist it alone."

Upon hearing this, the other people immediately came to the side of the Master of Wisdom, and then began to stand in the predetermined positions. It was obvious that they were forming some kind of formation.

The power of Yang You's [Nine Yang Magic Art] combined with [Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms] is simply one plus one equals two.

Although these four holy monks once hunted down Shi Zhixuan, their individual strength was actually at the bottom among the grand masters.

However, their combined combat method is extraordinary.

After forming a formation, the four against one actually slowly suppressed Yang You.

This was the tactic they discussed yesterday, and it was because of this formation that they chose to deal with Yang You.

They have studied the formation for countless years. It was originally prepared specifically for the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, and now Yang You can also enjoy it.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At this time, Wang Ming was sitting on a chair behind the center of the city wall of Luoyang City.

He looked at the battle below with indifferent eyes.

From time to time, a stray arrow would fly from below and shoot towards Wang Ming, but it would always be blocked by the guards around Wang Ming.

If he really missed the arrow, Wang Ming would casually grab the flying arrow with one hand and throw it aside.

The war has continued until now, and Wang Ming knows that the enemy is determined to capture Luoyang City today.

Wang Ming was also very confused at this time.

Because according to common sense, the siege would not be so intense.

The opposing army was a combination of two factions.

Wang Ming's eyes gleamed with brilliance, and he thought to himself, "What gives them the confidence to attack without regard for consumption?"

Another arrow flew in front of Wang Ming, but Wang Ming ignored it.

A wall of air directly bounced the flying arrow away.

Wang Ming's eyes kept wandering among the troops below, muttering, "With such a fierce attack, even if they capture Luoyang City, they will certainly be seriously injured. It's obvious that they kill 1,000 enemies but lose 800 of their own."

He looked towards the enemy headquarters in the distance, wondering to himself, "This is weird! Why didn't Li Shimin and Kou Zhong cheat on each other?"

The attack of the soldiers below became more fierce. Some of them rushed to Wang Ming's side, but were killed before they got close.

Wang Ming's eyes gleamed brightly, and he said to himself thoughtfully: "They have merged!"

At this moment,

Wang Ming already knew that the armies of Li Shimin and Kou Zhong had been successfully merged into one.

Only a combined army can have such powerful strength.

When two people with ulterior motives work together, one plus one often does not equal two.

Instead, they held each other back, making it impossible for them to even display their true strength.

at this time,

The enemy below no longer had two minds, but only one mind, one command, one voice.

"The tyrant emperor Yang Guang, if you have the guts, come down and fight."

A voice came from the battlefield below. Wang Ming knew that the person who spoke was quite skilled in martial arts.

Wang Ming's eyes followed the direction of the sound.

Kou Zhong shouted, "Yang Guang, don't be a coward, come down and fight."

Wang Ming smiled and said, "Kou Zhong, don't you know that a king should not meet another king?"

Kou Zhong said loudly: "I have given up the struggle for world domination, and now I am a general under the command of the King of Qin."

Wang Ming laughed and said, "You are willing to give away half of the country."

Kou Zhong said: "I don't like being an emperor in the first place. I just want to enjoy the process of conquering the world."

Xu Ziling said: "Master Zhong, this is the most correct choice for the people of the world to suffer less from war."

Shi Feixuan also said: "Young Marshal's righteousness is admirable. Yang Guang, if you still have good intentions and don't want the people of Luoyang City to suffer more casualties because of you, surrender to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin immediately. Let him unify the world as soon as possible and put an end to the war caused by you."

Wang Ming burst into laughter when he heard this: “Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!”

Xu Ziling asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Wang Ming sneered, "Kou Zhong, you have grown from a small Shuanglong Gang to a Shaoshuai Army that has swept across half of the country, and you actually treated it as a game."

Xu Ziling glanced at Kou Zhong, who looked a little unhappy, and said, "How can a greedy guy like you understand Master Zhong?"

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "I don't need to understand Kou Zhong, it's just a pity!"

Kou Zhong said: "What a pity?"

Wang Mingdao: "It's a pity for those soldiers who shed blood, were injured, and even lost their lives for you. Their blood was shed in vain."

Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan's faces changed drastically, and they had a bad feeling.

Wang Ming shook his head and said, "This game of yours is really expensive! Thousands of people died just so you could enjoy this process of conquest. They risked their lives to follow you because they trusted you could give them a good future, but later you said you didn't want to do it anymore."

At this time, Kou Zhong's fighting spirit had completely disappeared and he felt a little exhausted.

The conversation between Wang Ming and the others was spoken with the help of their inner strength, and many people on the battlefield could hear it.

The soldiers close to Kou Zhong would look at him from time to time.

Kou Zhong felt very uncomfortable with that look. This look made him feel very uncomfortable.

Those eyes were like steel needles, constantly piercing him.

The looks in those people's eyes were full of sarcasm, ridicule, anger, and resentment...

This made him feel even more uncomfortable than when he was a thief and a beggar, and was pointed at and looked at by others.

Shi Feixuan said: "The tyrant emperor should not spread lies to confuse the people and influence the young commander. His courage to give up his country for the welfare of the people of the world is something that a selfish person like you who is obsessed with power can understand."

Xu Ziling said: "You, the tyrant king, should learn from Zhong Shao and surrender to the King of Qin, so that peace can come sooner."

Wang Ming laughed and said, "Hahaha!!! Shi Feixuan, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, the three of you are the most talented people of this generation. You all had the opportunity to reach the highest peak of martial arts in this world and reach the realm of Shattered Void."

He sighed and said, "What a pity! Kou Zhong's state of mind is flawed because of his guilt for letting down these millions of soldiers. And you know for yourself whether Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan are truly selfless. If your state of mind is not perfect, you will lose the opportunity to break the void."

Shi Feixuan said: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Wang Mingdao: "No matter how high-sounding your words are, your martial arts can't deceive people. The fact that you failed to practice the highest realm of the [Cihang Sword Canon], "Death Pass", is proof of the problem."

He immediately continued, "You can say that it was too difficult for you to achieve the "Death Pass". Let's talk about your "Sword Heart Enlightenment"! The fact that it often works and sometimes doesn't is the best proof. I don't even bother to talk about Xu Ziling, who is generous to others."
