Chapter 247 The Secret of the Immortal Body
Last time we talked about the Dugu brothers, Erzhu Hui and Li Yi, they each have their own thoughts, so let them figure it out on their own, let’s read on and see how the story will develop later.
The next morning, Liu Ruyun returned from sword practice with Tuoba Ziyi. The soldiers guarding the gate saluted Tuoba Ziyi. Tuoba Ziyi saw four human heads hanging on the gate of the military horse farm, frowned, and quickly walked in.
It's not that Tuoba Ziyi couldn't stand seeing dead heads, but she recognized at a glance that these four were the soldiers who had a "conflict" with her yesterday. Although they did offend the princess, she didn't take it seriously. The crime was obviously not punishable by death, but they were beheaded in public, which made Her Royal Highness very angry.
Tuoba Ziyi came to Erzhu Hui's tent. He was still drunk and his snoring could be heard from outside the tent. The soldier at the door saluted and said awkwardly, "Princess, please forgive me. The general did drink too much last night."
Tuoba Ziyi snorted coldly and turned away. As she walked along, soldiers and civilians kept saluting her. Overnight, everyone in the military horse farm knew her, but the more people knew her, the angrier she became.
Seeing Zi Yi was upset, Liu Ruyun smiled and said, "Are you still angry? Go find Li Yi. He has a lot of tricks. Ask him to find a way to teach Er Zhu Hui a lesson."
"You don't want me to go find him?"
"How can I control you? Yesterday, you saw Li Yi arguing with those soldiers, and you rushed over. I don't understand what you are worried about. With his skills, if he was bullied, it must be intentional. Who knows what bad things he might do!"
As soon as these words came out, Ziyi and Liu Ruyun reacted instantly and went to look for Li Yi. But when they arrived outside the tent, they saw Nangong Xue and Li Yi confronting each other. Liu Ruyun frowned and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Nangong Xue bowed and said, "Hello Auntie Yun. I asked him to return the Ruyun Sword to me."
"Li Yi, why haven't you returned the Ruyun Sword yet?"
"How can I return the Ruyun Sword if it's not with me? I gave the sword to my servant Yu Jiu, so he can use it for self-defense."
Nangong Xue said unhappily: "That child is a Fire Spirit Child, and he is incompatible with the Ruyun Sword. If I let him go, it will only damage my sword intent! You are deliberately doing bad things, aren't you!"
Li Yi rolled his eyes at Nan Gongxue and said, "True gold is not afraid of fire. If your Ice Sword Intent can't even withstand the Fire Spirit of the Fire Spirit Boy, then I'm afraid you have to rebuild your Sword Intent! And this Ruyun Sword has been in your hands for so many years. You are a natural sword embryo, and the sword and spirit are compatible. Why haven't you given birth to a sword spirit and become a magic weapon? Why don't you summarize the reasons yourself?"
Li Yi took out the Spirit Feather Arrow from the sack and handed it to Nangong Xue, saying, "Come, feel the spiritual charm of my Spirit Feather Arrow, maybe it will be helpful to you."
Nangong Xue held the Spirit Feather Arrow, closed her eyes and felt the spiritual charm on it, but all she felt was the desire for love between men and women. Li Yi deliberately played a trick and injected the sword intent of sharpening the sword of desire in the Seven Absolute Swordsmanship into the Spirit Feather Arrow for Nangong Xue to feel. For Nangong Xue, this was no different from naked teasing!
Nangong Xue glared at Li Yi with a blushing face, clenched her fist and tried to break the Spirit Feather Arrow, but she couldn't do it, so she threw the arrow on the ground, stepped on it a few times, and turned away. Li Yi had used similar means before, using the excuse of discussing kendo to tease her in various ways, just like before, jumping back and forth on the edge of death.
Liu Ruyun was surprised and said, "Hey, Xue'er's temper has changed. If it were the past, I would have chopped you down a long time ago."
Li Yi smiled and said, "She knows she can't beat me, she can't talk me down, and she can't do anything to me. Why do you two come to see me so early?"
Ziyi picked up the Spirit Feather Arrow and handed it to Li Yi, and asked casually: "You came to the military horse farm to deal with Erzhu Hui, right? Was it Jun Ge's idea, or your own idea?"
Li Yi covered Zi Yi's mouth with his hand, then dragged her into the tent. Liu Ruyun looked around and after making sure that no one was watching, she walked into the tent.
As soon as she entered the tent, Liu Ruyun screamed, "What are you doing!" Ziyi immediately let go of Li Yi's hand and calmed down.
Liu Ruyun sneered: "You are a princess after all, how come you don't know how to respect yourself?"
Li Yi said awkwardly: "This can't be entirely blamed on her. She was influenced by my Seven Swordsmanship. Well, let's talk about business first." Li Yi released his talent to block out the sound, and then told the two about the suppression of the former Xianbei subordinates and the founding heroes.
Tuoba Ziyi was naturally willing to help, so Li Yi got another great help, but Li Yi only asked Ziyi to find trouble, but did not say that he wanted to force Erzhu Hui to rebel.
At this point, a vortex centered on Erzhu Hui began to turn. It was manipulated by Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Tuoba Jun, and promoted by the two major families of Dugu and Nangong. The key to whether this muddy water composed of the former Xianbei people and the founding heroes could become clear was the upcoming peak showdown between Li Yi and Dugu Long.
The three-day deadline is coming soon. The southern foot of Yinshan Mountain and the north of Heihe River are the most fertile places in the Hetao Plain, and naturally the grasslands that are most fiercely fought over by various grassland tribes. This place has experienced countless battles, and today it will witness the collision of the two most dazzling new stars of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Watching the battle were not only Zhenbei King Dugu Rong and a group of Zhenbei Army generals, but also representatives of the former Xianbei people and founding heroes. There were also many people from the martial arts world who came because of the reputation of the army, and even a Taoist priest from the Tianzong came.
Dugu Rong, wearing armor and riding a tall black horse, stood at the front of the team. He looked at his eldest son Dugu Long standing on the cliffs in the mountains with a heroic spirit, and his pride was beyond words. The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army lined up in formation, and some soldiers beat drums and blew trumpets, waved flags and shouted, cheering for their general who broke through the formation.
In comparison, the other side of the spectator formation was quite shabby. Li Yi's family and friends naturally stood in the front row. Xingyue and the others held up a banner that they had prepared in advance, which read "Husband, you are the best!" Shiyu, Bailing, Zhao Hanfeng, Yuehua, and Xing'er stood under the banner and looked at the Zhenbei Army formation with hostility.
Liu Ruyun, Tuoba Ziyi, and the Nangong brothers and sisters stood five steps away from Shiyu and the others, with the attitude of drawing a clear line between themselves and the fools. The others were the herdsmen from the northern border, the people from the rivers and lakes, and their horses, cattle and sheep. The costumes here were varied, colorful, and colorful, forming a sharp contrast with the uniform black armor and robes on the other side.
There were drums roaring and bugles blasting. To Shiyu and the others, it sounded extremely noisy. She said, "Bai Ling, sing a song! The one called 'Pointing to the Moon with the Left Hand'! Sing it at the highest pitch and suppress them!"
Bai Ling said awkwardly: "Sister Shiyu, even if I am the loudest, I can't beat the drums and trumpets, not to mention there are hundreds of people."
"Then we can't just watch! Just listen to them supporting Dugu Long, my husband needs someone to support him! Otherwise, what are we doing here?"
At this time, Xing'er pulled Lin Fan over and said to Shiyu, "Madam, you can ask Brother Lin to condense his Qi and transform it into a big drum, and we can also beat the drum to cheer him on!"
Zhao Hanfeng shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. We are few in number, and it will be useless no matter how much we try."
Yu Jiu squeezed through the crowd and came to Shi Yu and saluted, "Madam, the young master asked me to protect you from being affected by the battle."
Shi Yu saw Yu Jiu and said excitedly: "You came just in time, hurry up, release two fire dragons and blow up some fireworks to cheer for my husband!"
Yu Jiu nodded, waved his hands, and two fire dragons flew into the sky, but before the fire dragons exploded, they were sealed by Liu Ruyun with two ice pillars, turning into ice crystals falling all over the sky. Shi Yu and others looked at Liu Ruyun, who said seriously: "This is a grassland, not a place for you to play with fire, aren't you afraid of burning the grassland!"
As a fire spirit boy, Yu Jiu can naturally control the fire and there is no need to worry about fire. Liu Ruyun is just avenging the last time Yu Jiu broke the ice.
After the farce, someone shouted from behind: "Hey, why hasn't Li Yi come yet? Could it be that he is afraid of the young prince and dares not come?"
Shiyu and the others all glared at the man and shouted, "Nonsense!"
At this time, our great talent Li finally arrived. There was a loud thunder in the sky, and Li Yi made a brilliant appearance! He was wearing a white suit with ink and color paintings on it, a painting of mountains and rivers on his chest, and lines of poetry on his back. He held a bright silver spear in his hand, a carved bow and arrows on his back, and a linen bag on his waist that could hold the world.
Li Yi stood opposite Dugu Long, who laughed and said, "Why are you being so exaggerated? Why are you wasting your righteous energy on that thunder?"
Li Yi pointed at the Zhenbei Army's strong onlookers and said, "You seem to be so impressive! This is your home court. If I don't make some moves, you will take all the limelight!"
"When the real fight starts, they won't care about those things. So, should we test it out first, or just go for the real deal?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Let's not be pretentious when we brothers compete. Let's just go for it!" As he said that, Li Yi summoned the two-meter-tall image of Acalanatha, and immediately started his prime. The eight arms behind his back each held a weapon, the lotus seal under his feet was spinning, and the Sanskrit mantra seal was flashing with golden light.
On the other side, Dugu Long thrust his spear forward, and his Qi transformed into a black dragon that coiled around his body, with its head held high, its mouth slightly open, its claws holding a pearl, and its whiskers flying. Dugu Long said, "Brother Li, are you planning to fight me with a spear?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "As a third-level cultivator, I know a lot. Brother Long, be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi drew his bow and shot ten arrows in succession, attacking from different angles. The arrows were filled with spiritual power and righteousness, and their speed was incredibly fast. Dugu Long's body was spinning like a black dragon, blocking the arrows, but the silver spear in Li Yi's hand suddenly became longer and stabbed directly at him.
Li Yi shot ten arrows first in order to prevent Dugu Long's warriors from reacting to the danger warning in time. Although this was extremely exhausting, it was indeed effective. Li Yi's spear hit Dugu Long's chest directly and knocked him towards the cliff.
At the moment of collision, Dugu Long pushed away the spear head and stepped on the cliff, thrusting the spear straight, with the black dragon around him circling around Li Yi's spear and biting at the motionless unknown king. But a lion's roar was heard, and the sound waves hit the cliff and shattered countless rocks.
Dugu Long had already jumped up on Li Yi's spear to avoid his Lion's Roar. Dugu Long held the spear upside down in mid-air, and with a strong force, a black dragon descended from the sky and pounced directly on Li Yi.
All he heard was, "I'm behind him!" The martial artist's Hua Jin was unreasonable. Dugu Long turned around and fired his gun while falling at high speed, but there was no one behind him. This is Li Yi. In addition to fighting head-on, he always has to play some tricks!
When Dugu Long realized that he had been tricked and turned around, a purple lightning had already struck him. He had no choice but to resist it. With a loud bang, he was hit hard against the cliff.
The eight arms behind the Acala shrine swung out and attacked Dugu Long, hitting him until the rocks on the cliff collapsed, and then he stopped. When the rocks fell and smoke rose, the armor on his body was completely destroyed, and Dugu Long jumped out of the smoke with his bare chest.
Dugu Long wiped his mouth and smiled, "It seems like you don't want to fight for a long time with this fighting style. Then I can't follow your wish. Come again! I won't be so easy to fool this time!" With the shadow of a black dragon lingering, he swung his gun and attacked again.
Li Yi chanted the six-character mantra, and a magic circle appeared around Dugu Long, but his reputation as a general who breaks the formation was not in vain! He activated his clear intention and broke the formation in an instant. His spear pierced Li Yi's chest on the Acala Dharma Image, and this strike pushed the Dharma Image back several feet!
Li Yi shrunk his Dharma image to his body size, and then shot all the arrows from his back. The arrows were connected by lightning chains and controlled by spiritual power. One arrow hit a hundred arrows! This move consumed a lot of righteous energy, and it was also an unavoidable move. Dugu Long could only mobilize his Qi base to resist it.
Thunders blasted continuously, sparks flashed, Dugu Long seemed to be in the middle of a thunderstorm, he slightly felt the bone-hardening effect of Li Yi's purple thunder. However, the thunders Li Yi was hit by were all heavenly thunders, which were much more powerful than the purple thunder formed by the righteous energy.
Dugu Long withstood the lightning machine gun, his body covered with purple and black bruises. He stood up and asked with a smile: "How much righteousness do you have? The iron bones of a warrior can't really defend against the attack of righteousness, but you can't use this trick anymore!"
