March 569 of the Altienne calendar, Japan, Kunlun Mountain

The first battle with Hua Tianxie was defeated, and Mei Lin and Hai Jiaxuan withdrew to the back of the mountain, closer to the second line of the undead tree.

Hai Jiaxuan was defeated under the extinction power, and his essence was lost in a large amount, and his expression was wilted. He didn't even have the strength to lift a little finger. It was only with the help of Mei Lin to push the palace through the blood before he recovered. Motivation, but still weak and unable to fight against others, it is estimated that it is impossible to restore combat strength without a rest for ten days.

"Fortunately, the guy Kublai failed to plagiarize. The extinction magic is fundamentally different from the heavenly magic power. If it is absorbed by the heavenly magic power, it will not be able to recover after ten days of recuperation."

Just so frustrated in the hands of the junior, Hai Jiaxuan's mood will naturally not be very good, but it will not really cause trouble, and a simple smile will drive away the unpleasant mood.

"You seem to be more open-minded than before?"

"You have to look forward to being a human being. If you lose to the junior, you will draw the sword and commit suicide. It will be difficult for me to live in the future."

There is a hint of bitterness in Hai Jiaxuan's faint smile. Although he has been occupying the throne of "the most powerful man in the human world" for a long time in the past two thousand years, he still has to face the wave of generations, especially when one younger generation after another has broken through him for two thousand years. Hai Jiaxuan's eyes are indeed a bit sentimental when he has climbed to the top of the heavenly position of Zhai, one by one on the wall of the heavenly position, which has not been able to make an inch.

"However, Hua Tianxie is a special case. With his original aptitude and means, it is already the limit to reach the strong heaven, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to enter the fast heaven."

Mei Lin, who is always watching the battle with cold eyes, feels very much about this, especially the fact that Huatian evil energy has exerted the extinction magic to such a state, even if the founder Kublai is reborn, I am afraid it will be no more than that. Such a comprehension and breakthrough is a miracle compared to the previous Huatianxie.

It is undoubtedly Amakusa Shiro who created this miracle. This is something everyone knows on the Continent of Wind, but there are hidden details behind it.

"It is only to pass on the gong, and cannot reach this level. The souls of those two people must be surprisingly matched, so that they can fully inherit the understanding and cultivation of Amakusa."

Mei Lin's words resonated with Hai Jiaxuan. Amakusa Shiro’s aloof personality, life's encounters, and wandering emotions are similar to those of Hua Tianxie. Therefore, Amakusa Shiro had a blessing on Hua Tianxie during his lifetime, and became a forgotten friendship. Later, it must be these two people. The regrets overlapped with emotions, and Hua Tianxie was able to perfectly absorb the things passed down by Amakusa Shiro, which resulted in the current breakthrough.

"Well, as you said, the attachments of these two people are very similar. Emotionally...maybe they have never been satisfied."

Hai Jiaxuan once heard Mei Lin mentioned Hua Tianxie’s dedication to the love of his life. When you think about it carefully, this is the most similar to Amakusa Shiro, and it can even be said to overlap; when the two lives are the common regret Combining with persistence in the same soul gave birth to today's Huatianxie.

"The closed disciple Amakusa Shiro educated through his life should surpass me. However, this situation will not last for too long. No matter how strong the wall of Saitiantai is, he is just one step ahead of me."

Hai Jiaxuan's tone was full of confidence. This confident expression appeared on a child's face, which made Meilin smile unconsciously and laughed.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that such talents can't be used by the human camp. Instead, they have become the eagle dogs of the demon aggression. This is really a pity."

Compared to losing in the hands of a junior, this incident undoubtedly makes Hai Jiaxuan even more regretful. Not only does he lament that outstanding talents like Hua Tianxie have invested in the demons, but also that none of the disciples cultivated by himself can at this time It comes in handy and strangles the wrist.

The seven disciples of Lu You, who were famous all over the world on that day, do not count Hai Jiaxuan himself. Wang Youjun and Quan Ying each occupy one side. Although both can play a role in protecting the environment and the people, they are unable to influence the overall situation and their own strength. Not enough to threaten the demons.

Li Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the strongest martial arts fighters, have been killed in battle with the Mozu. If one of them is still alive, I don’t know how much they can help the current situation; but whether it’s Kunlun The mountain front, or the Jixia front, can certainly relieve a lot of pressure.

Tao Yanning disappeared after the battle of Zhongdu ended, and there is no more news. It seems that he has no intention of participating in the battle between humans and demons. Hai Jiaxuan is not surprised at this, because in his opinion, Yan Ning is not wild. Tame, he doesn't have a good impression of humans, and there is no reason to stand on the side of humans in particular. As long as he doesn't switch to the demon camp, he will be thankful.

But the most unexpected change was Xu Liewu. In vain, he regarded him very seriously in the past, thinking that he has excellent literary talents and martial arts, and he is an outstanding talent that is rare in a thousand years. How can I think of knowing people and knowing the face, but the cultivation of him has become the best evidence that I have no eyes and no beads. I did not see him. The true face of the tiger is so troublesome to raise tigers. He is now the second person in the demons camp, and the human camp's confidant is all his fault.

In order to deal with the invasion of the demons, I spent thousands of years to cultivate the direct disciples. Now they are dead, scattered, and rebellious. Otherwise, they are useless. Seeing the demons are coming, the human camp will be destroyed. In front of him, Hai Jiaxuan was worried and sighed again.

"Then...we should make a decision too, right?"

Sensing that Hua Tianxie was approaching here at high speed, Mei Lin woke up. Even in the face of the Zhaitian martial artist, the two of them will not be at a loss. After all, there is Xu Liewu among the enemies, and he will attack Kunlun Mountain if he may not. Therefore, they have made many arrangements before becoming the Zhaitian. When a few warriors come, they can rely on these arrangements and tactics to fight.

In fact, on the way to retreating here, Mei Lin had already activated some magical facilities to block Hua Tianxie from advancing, so he was late. Hai Jiaxuan's vitality was severely damaged by the extinction divine art, and he was unable to fight for a while. This was an unexpected situation before. However, it was originally considered that someone would be too seriously injured to fight, so the situation would not lose control. .

So, the question now is whether to fight or not? Originally, when Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin entered the station, they were determined to defend Kunlun Mountain at all costs and never let the demons get the undead tree, but Gengoro came that day and after observing the state of the undead tree, he put forward an opinion. Therefore, the two people have room to retreat.

When it is still able to support, continue to fight against the demons and let the demons disperse their forces, but when the real enemy comes, for example, when Yinzhen personally attacked Kunlun Mountain, there is no need to defend here. , Relinquish Kunlun Mountain, and concentrate human combat power on Jixia.

"The combat power and wisdom of the two of you are very precious to all mankind. Please do not belittle yourself. Keeping useful bodies is the most important point. Don’t give your lives to meaningless things. In fact."

Gengoro's expression was very serious at the time, and it could even be said to be a low-profile pleading. In addition to strategic considerations, he was more unwilling to see friends splashing on the battlefield, and wanted to save them. Both Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin remember Gengoro's worried expression.

"Xiao Wu is actually a good person..."

"Hey, he has been like this from before, unlike a man..."

Hai Jiaxuan chuckled twice. When he raised his head to look at Mei Lin, from the information he had leaked in his eyes, Mei Lin knew that he had made a decision.

"Let's give this place to the demons. I want to bet once on Amakusa Shiro's heir to see what the outcome of this bet will be."

Hai Jiaxuan's decision was approved by Mei Lin. When Hua Tianxie finally came here a quarter of an hour later, Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin could not be found.

"Well, am I a step slower?"

Hua Tianxie sensed that the pair of boys and girls had already left here, and even left Kunlun Mountain. Although there is only one way from the underground lake to the undead tree, they can jump and appear anywhere within hundreds of miles of Kunlun Mountain as long as they use the magic of time and space transfer, and then cooperate with their footsteps. By this time, they didn’t know how to run. Where to go, I can't catch up at all.

"It's a pity, but...Also, if this battle turns into a death match, it will be unpleasant."

Before Hua Tianxie sneaked into Kunlun Mountain, he had already planned to splash blood. He didn’t come here for temptation. Now that he entered Kunlun Mountain, no matter if he fell or the enemy fell, this battle There will always be a complete failure or an end of victory. Now the enemy takes the initiative to withdraw. Although this is unexpected, it is also the best ending. The next step is to accept the undead tree.

Reduced fighting spirit and murderous spirit, Hua Tianxie walked slowly toward the end of the aisle. He was also full of curiosity about the gods that the West Queen Mother clan had vowed to protect for thousands of years, and he didn't wait to inform Shi Chong and others, so he went first. Explore the past at the end of the aisle.

From the mouth of Dorgon, Hua Tianxie also heard several rumors about the undead tree. It is said that the undead tree is a **** left by the creation of the world during the creation of the world. It is guarded by the Western Queen’s clan. It blooms once in three thousand years and knots once in three thousand years. Fruit, it takes another three thousand years to refine the fruit into medicine. Its magical medicine has the miraculous effect of reversing life and death. However, in several wars thousands of years ago, the Western Queen’s family exhausted all the magical medicine. Now In a handful of calculations, the immortal tree should not have been fruiting for a long time. It is more than three thousand years later to refine the fruit into medicine. It is really a long-standing myth...

"More than three thousand years later...heh, now people don't know how many people will have their lives to see."

When Hua Tianxie sneered and stepped into the cave at the end of the walkway, he saw that it was a circular grotto with a hole in the top rock wall, and the clear sky was streaming in from above, falling in the center of the cave. On an ancient tree in, in the faint white halo, withered trees with intertwined roots, telling the silent history and the changes of time.

The tree is no more than two feet high. From the appearance alone, it’s hard to imagine that this is the world’s famous undead tree, with shriveled bark, no leaves and flowers, as if it had already lost its life, if not vaguely With the pulse of energy still coming, Hua Tianxie would never believe that this was her goal.

There is no expected fruit on the branch. This is unexpected. Now that it is the year of flowering and bearing fruit, the people in front must have picked the fruit. If it had not been taken away by the West Queen’s family when they retreated, It must have fallen into Hai Jiaxuan's hands. After occupying Kunlun Mountains for so many days, the undead tree itself cannot be moved, but he is not so naive to think that the enemy will even leave the undead fruit.

However, when Hua Tianxie walked slowly to the undead tree, he wanted to take a closer look at this wonderful tree that the demons must win. The trace of energy fluctuations captured by Tianxin consciousness made his face change drastically, immediately Exit ten feet away and reconfirm the surrounding state with a cautious look.

After a long while, a loud laugh resounded through the Kunlun Mountains, revolving and shaking, endlessly.

"Hahahaha~~ Sure enough, **** is old and spicy, I was put on one~~haha~~"

The Kunlun Mountain offensive and defensive battle ended in an unexpected form. When Hua Tianxie walked out of Kunlun Mountain, indicating that the enemy had retreated and the undead tree had fallen into his control, Shi Chong was delighted.

Hua Tianxie went into battle this time from injury. Shi Chong didn't expect him to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. After all, Hai Jiaxuan alone was already very difficult to deal with, let alone a Mei Lin who was on the sidelines. Lin's Tianmo Gong, Wuji Tianshi, and Haijiaxuan's Qimen Dunjia are all considered. There are many variables. Even if Hua Tianxie has the power of Zhai Tian, ​​it may not be safe to win.

The ideal situation is to wait for Dorgon to return, join forces with Huatianxie, and cooperate with his own plan, then Kunlun Mountain will be broken, but before that, let Huatianxie enter the mountain to see Look at the environment and try the enemy's strength. This is also helpful. With his martial arts at this moment, even if he is invincible, he can retreat completely. This is Shi Chong's original idea. How can he know that he is not brave enough to fight against Kunlun? The mountain is captured.

On the other side of the Mozu’s other camp, Xu Liewu has used his troops with great speed, but the current front is still a long way from Jixia City, not to mention the actual problem of attacking Jixia, but at this time, his own side has captured Kunlun Mountain. , To obtain the undead tree, by then, in front of His Majesty Yinzhen, oneself will undoubtedly win this competition.

"Really? It seems too early for Master Shi Chong to be happy, but it's just an immortal tree. There are still a lot of problems behind, and it hasn't reached the time to be satisfied."

Don't mean anything in Hua Tianxie's words. Shi Chong realized this and hurriedly led the crowd into Kunlun Mountain to confirm the status of the undead tree.

In the evening, an emergency military information document from Japan was passed to Yinzhen in Zhongdu, saying that he had captured Kunlun Mountain and obtained the undead tree, but the enemy was very treacherous and even planted a large area around the undead tree in advance. Scope enchantment.

It's really a huge enchantment on a very large scale. It consists of 9,999 small and medium-sized enchantments with different pros and cons. The machine contains machines and becomes exogenous, even Shi Chong sees it. I was dumbfounded, I couldn't think that the enemy occupied Kunlun Mountain for many days, and actually used the time to lay down such complicated enchantments.

Different from the general defensive enchantment, this enchantment will not block or attack the invading foreign enemies. After all, the warrior who can break through Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin must have a cultivation level above the Zhaitian rank. It is unlikely that there are any institutions in the world that can threaten it. Giving up blocking and attacking, all the energy of this enchantment is only used for one thing: detonating the undead tree.

No matter who comes in, as long as someone tries to touch the undead tree or perform some spells on the undead tree, the enchantment will be activated and the undead tree will be blown to pieces.

This vicious trick made Shi Chong stunned, because the existence of the undead tree is related to the energy movement of the world, if the undead tree is rashly destroyed, no one can predict the possible consequences. No matter how light it is, it is based on the level of the Japanese land Shen. Large-scale catastrophe, and the scope of the catastrophe is not limited to Japan. It is likely to extend to the mainland of the Wind. By then, under the chain effect, a series of catastrophes will crazily ravage every inch of the land of the Wind. Based on this seriousness, Shi Chong originally There was no fear, thinking that the enemy would not dare to do something to the undead tree, but when one's own side broke through Kunlun Mountain and obtained the undead tree, the enemy even had an extremely sharp back carbine.

"...too vicious, these guys are acting in the name of justice, but they are much more ruthless than the demons."

Shi Chong understood why Mei Lin and Hai Jiaxuan chose to retreat when they were still able to fight. It turned out that a big bomb was left behind. In this way, the capture of Kunlun Mountain was not the end, but the beginning of another war.

The elite magicians of the demon camp were immediately called in and were ordered to deal with this complicated enchantment and do the work of dismantling the "bomb". The magic level of the demons is far better than that of human beings. The wizard group headed by Kumo lions quickly made an assessment and expected that this enchantment could be safely lifted within 300 years.

"In a more refined way, it is two hundred and ninety-eight years, seven months, three days, and eight hours."

"Why, why is it so long?"

"Nearly 100,000 enchantments, after they are deployed, they start to react with each other. Every two enchantments react once, and the entire enchantment circle will change; to dismantle this large-scale magic circle is like To make a huge math problem, we can only solve it gradually and slowly before newer techniques or tools appear, not to mention that there are many oriental magic skills hidden here. It belongs to our unknown field, and it will be disassembled. It takes more time...In short, if you follow the normal practice, it is impossible to dismantle the barrier under the premise of absolute safety without a three-hundred-year time."

"How is this possible? Does it take the two thieves themselves to take three hundred years to disassemble?"

"No, if the two of them don't have a team to cooperate, I believe that 300 years is definitely not enough, but...we don't think the people who set up this enchantment have plans to solve the formation."

"What?"

Shi Chong's thoughts were confused just because of concern. When he calmed down a little bit, he immediately understood the meaning of Kumo lion.

For humans, the undead tree is something that cannot be touched or should not be touched. No one has used an undead tree in the previous history, and no one needs to use it to achieve ambitions in the future. In this case, it is the best way to prevent anyone from touching the undead tree, which is in the best interest of all human beings. When Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin used to spread the barrier, they didn't even think of a solution, because...no need.

"Is there no other way? In three hundred years, I don't know how many variables will happen. This is a risk that we cannot bear!"

"According to the normal practice, 300 years is inevitable, but in addition to the formal solution, the enchantment can be automatically lifted by killing the speller."

The magicians of the demons finally came to the conclusion that the nature of this magic enchantment is very obvious. As long as the caster is killed, the enchantment will be automatically released, so instead of spending three hundred years slowly It is undoubtedly the most time-saving way to solve it and kill the operator directly.

For this reason, Shi Chong's urgent document was sent to Yinzhen, asking the demon king to make the final decision.

"Well, it's very interesting..."

When Yinzhen read the message from Shi Chong, what he noticed was not the enchantment of the undead tree, but the enemy's technique.

"With seemingly burning jade and stone to block our actions, even if we win the undead tree, it is useless. Such a beautiful and ruthless strategy is not like the wisdom and style of those two people. What should it be? Did someone plan it behind the scenes?"

The emperor’s question requires a personal answer, and the person in charge of this job is Xu Liewu, who is unwilling to be recalled to Zhongdu, and is currently with his father.

"There is a famous defeated military division in the Reins camp. Although he was defeated, he is still a military division. Perhaps it was his idea."

When Xu Liewu talked about the defeated army division, there was no insult in his tone, but a hint of sympathy. He doesn’t think Gengoro is a mediocre, but being in an environment full of abnormal people is just a kind of sadness for a rationally thinking staff. Judging from the records in the scrolls, Xu Liewu feels that if he changes places. At the same time, it is probably unavoidable to call the humiliating name of "a hundred losers", so I feel very sympathetic to the staff member in the enemy line.

"Is that man? It's possible, but the information I got, the current Reins' main think tank, is a secretary next to the king, a woman named Cang Yuecao. Coincidentally, this is also the same as the current one. The chairman of the Magic Guild has the same name, isn’t that interesting?"

Yinzhen looked at the scrolls on the table and smiled slightly. For many years, he had been watching the affairs of the human world with a cold eye. There were some unremarkable little things. After analysis, he could often see the clues inside.

"During the Reins Civil War, there was news that the Queen appeared, and it was later interpreted as a collective illusion, but what if it weren’t? The giant barrier that took three hundred years to unlock, it’s true. It’s very tricky, but there was a saying in the past that the former Queen Reins had a talented ability that could dispel all magic in operation. If she had such an ability, unlocking the barrier would only be a matter of a moment."

In fact, this is not just a rumor. The time Shi Chong was hit hard by Xiaocao in Siam City, Yin Zhen once asked the whole story carefully and inferred the true face of the enemy from it. Reins and the demons have been opposed to each other a long time ago. Yinzhen’s father, grandfather, and even the Great Demon King a long time ago have had the experience of being hostile to Reins. It seemed that an enemy that could never be defeated, Yinzhen did not dare to take it lightly.

"Well, old man, your words cannot be said to be unreasonable, but as everyone knows, Queen Lea of ​​Reings has no children. After her death, Reings Thielen’s blood has been cut off, and there is no inheritance. Can you use the Queen’s Holy Power again? Unless...you don’t think Queen Liya is not dead, right?"

Xu Liewu is very skeptical of this conclusion, because he is also a person who values ​​intelligence research. When Queen Liya died, he became suspicious and conducted a secret investigation, bringing together the intelligence systems of the Brothel Alliance and the Medici’s family. After reading more than a hundred reports, I still found it insufficient. I personally went to Jixia to investigate and confirmed that the crystal coffin was indeed Queen Liya, and was indeed dead. This dispelled my suspicion and believed that Queen Liya was with Amakusa. In Shiro's battle, he ran out of life and died.

Now Yinzhen says that Queen Liya may not be dead, which is really hard for him to accept.

"You don't want to believe it, is it because it's too unbelievable? Or is it because you don't want to accept failure?"

Yinzhen's brief sentence silenced Xu Liewu. This sentence undoubtedly awakened him. Regardless of the truth of the matter, for a wise man who relies on his brain to eat his food, there is nothing more dangerous than the preset position; let the "heart" affect the "brain", these things All wise men can't do.

"So... how do we find out the truth?"

After the speculation is completed, it is necessary to investigate the truth in the end, not to mention Xu Liewu still worrying about a problem, that is the whereabouts of Hai Jiaxuan and Mei Lin.

The undead tree is something that the demons are determined to obtain. Now that they are affected by the influence of spells, the demons are bound to kill these two people. Only by killing the two of them, the barrier of the undead tree will be unlocked. Both of them must be very clear about this, so instead of continuing to be hostile to the demons, the best strategy must be to find a place to hide.

The Continent of Wind is a very vast land, and there are too many places to hide. If the two of them choose to hide in Jixia and unite with other accomplices, it's okay to deal with it. Just use heavy troops to suppress the situation and catch turtles in the urn. But if the two of them find some hidden deserted mountains and ordinary towns, there will be no sound. If you hide without interest, you really don't know how to find it.

Use magic to divination or search? Those two people are extremely skilled in the art of the world, and they are absolutely capable of interfering with magic searches.

Search with Tianxin consciousness? This is probably difficult, because even Yinzhen can't accurately grasp their position. The distance and the direction are unknown. Under their deliberate concealment of their cooperation with the spells, since the two of them left Kunlun Mountain, Yinzhen could not accurately grasp their location.

As for other intelligence explorations, Mei Lin and Hai Jiaxuan are both old foxes over two thousand years old. Ordinary intelligence spies are only worthy of being played by them at will. It is better to expect intelligence spies everywhere to find them. The clan can pick off the moon.

"To put it to the extreme, the two of them only need to buy a ferry ticket and set off to hide in another continent, then we have only three options left: spend three hundred years to break the barrier, spend more than three hundred In years, I went to another continent to find people, and waited for them to die of old age... Of the three, it seems that the first one is the most time-saving."

Xu Liewu shrugged and said: "So, our goal should not be to find them, but to try to get them to take the initiative."

"Let them take the initiative? You use the word let instead of force, should you want me to avoid strong tactics?"

"Yes, I don't like the massacre. It's just looking for people, and it's necessary to get corpses all over the country, and blood flow into rivers?"

"You may not like it, but you can't deny that this method has always been effective."

Yinzhen’s words once again silenced Xu Liewu. With his own assessment, he killed tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands and forced Hai Jiaxuan to come forward. This is quite risky, because Hai Jiaxuan must have expected it. In this regard, for the "long-term future of the human world", he would definitely ignore these "sacrifices that had to happen"; if he wanted to rely on killing to force out the enemy, this method should have a very effective effect on the old foxes of the class of Hai Jiaxuan. not ideal.

The question is, to what extent can Hai Jiaxuan carry out this absolute will? Everyone has a bottom line. Killing hundreds of thousands of people can be indifferent, but when the number is changed to a few million or tens of millions? Is Hai Jiaxuan still able to carry out this determination, in order to prevent the undead tree from falling into the hands of the demons, he would rather sacrifice thousands of lives?

Xu Liewu didn’t like this method. In the war, he always only made necessary attacks and only caused necessary casualties, and never wasted resources on meaningless killings. This is the common style of Bailudong children. Gong Jin always did this when he was still alive.

However, in this matter, he did not think he could gain any dominant power. When Yinzhen handed over the attack to Shi Chong, a large number of killings would occur; for the traditional factions of the demons, Human lives have always been worthless. Instead of ruling mankind, the demons have always had the voice of "killing all human beings and directly ruling the human world."

"This job doesn't seem to be suitable for you. You always like to relax and enjoy the cold. This time is no exception, right?"

As if seeing through what his son was thinking, Yin Zhen said: "Just leave the work to Shi Chong. In the past, he has studied several strategies and has great experience in mass slaughter of human beings, so he delegated this work to Shi Chong. He should be able to see results in a short time."

"Does it make sense? My master used to be a cold-blooded old man. Now I heard that he is a cold-blooded kid. When he is mentally prepared, even if you kill 10 million people, you will only achieve his cold-bloodedness. Isn’t there any practical effect in the name?"

"If it is my old friend, it is possible to do it, but what about the people around him? If the people he cares about act accordingly, will he really not be affected at all? Humans are wonderful creatures. , Groups will influence each other...In short, no matter how things evolve, there will be no loss to us in the end."

Under Yinzhen’s ruling, the order for a full-scale attack on Jixia was communicated to the Quartet, and several corps commanded by Shi Chong began to advance to Jixia, carrying out large-scale operations to exterminate humanity along the way. Let the cruelest scene in this battle between humans and demons begin to take place.
