Chapter 158 The 5th Demon God Destroys the Ming King!
Chapter 158 The Fifth Demon God - The King of Destruction Appears! (Please give me a monthly ticket at the end of the month)
Xu Qing took advantage of the chaos on the Dongming and started a killing spree.
Meng Yuxuan, who was far away, had already sent out scouts to inquire about the situation ahead. After receiving the signal sent by the scouts, Meng Yuxuan immediately started the sea ship and the surrounding warships to set out together.
The warships around the Dongming had already gone back to rescue and put out the fire. Moreover, there was a lack of unified dispatch, and the battle was extremely chaotic.
When Meng Yuxuan's navy arrived, they immediately fired catapults, bows and arrows... and other sharp weapons.
With the help of fire and starlight, the accumulated weapons were fired in a targeted manner under the tight military formation, and the opposing warships were quickly defeated.
The blazing fire lights up the night sky.
The trend of chaos spread among the pirates of the Dongming like a tide. For a time, both the affiliated warships of the Dongming and the pirates of the Dongming became increasingly panicked and trampled on each other under the attack of the navy.
Meng Yuxuan even brought his guards and personally boarded the flaming Dongming.
His martial arts skills are very good. Even though he has not practiced internal energy, with the help of medicine, the superior skills he has cultivated, and his own extraordinary talent, his fighting power is no different from that of ordinary internal energy masters.
Moreover, his shooting skills are concise, and they are all killing moves that have been honed on the battlefield. They are very lethal to ordinary pirates.
As soon as he stepped onto the deck of the Dongming, Meng Yuxuan killed the four pirates who were coming towards him, took the initiative and rushed into the enemy.
And he soon discovered Xu Qing.
All that was seen was Xu Qing's Wuji sword, moving back and forth in the deep enemy territory, unstoppable.
The tip of the knife emits a strange and scorching light of lightning. When it hits the opponent, it will immediately paralyze the whole body and make the opponent lose combat effectiveness. The force can even penetrate into the enemy's body, causing the opponent to bleed from all seven orifices and die.
Before long, more and more naval troops boarded the Dongming, and the entire pirates on the ship were paralyzed. The pirates fled in all directions, jumped into the sea, or took small boats and fled to Dongming Island.
The Jinghaiwei Navy finally took control of the situation at dawn.
This surprise attack initiated by Xu Qing with internal and external support finally ended successfully.
Afterwards, Meng Yuxuan cleaned up the mess, sent people to put out the fire, capture the warships of the Dongming Gang, and control the situation on the battlefield.
And Xu Qing came to his senses after Meng Yuxuan and others came to his senses.
He first went into the water, found the wooden box, and then brought it back to the navy ship. Finding that the other party was still breathing, he took him to his room to rest.
The wooden box was naturally open, but the other party was not woken up for the time being.
Xu Qing placed the Wuji Sword horizontally on his knees, feeling calm.
In actual combat, the Five Thunder Swordsmanship finally reached perfection. He and the Wuji Sword even established a sense of blood connection during the fierce battle. After the brutal fight, he did not feel empty after killing someone, but instead, he gained spiritual fulfillment and satisfaction that he had never experienced before.
No matter what, this battle did make his spiritual cultivation significantly improve.
But right now, none of this is the most important thing.
Xu Qing's attention was focused on the column of extraterritorial demons in the bronze mirror.
These four words became particularly strong, with strands of scarlet entwined. As soon as he focused his attention on them, he wanted to kill crazily and destroy this turbid world.
There is an innate sense of destiny.
He looked at the life span column again, and there was no particular change.
"Three years and three months."
It was three years when he first woke up from his serious illness. Now it's almost two years, and he still has this much life expectancy.
Although he gained some holy power, the subsequent effect was far from comparable to the first time.
Is a short life his destiny?
Xu Qing had a feeling that no matter how hard he struggled, the web of fate would continue to tighten.
The anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and the aura he exuded was like that of a devil descending to the earth.
At the same time, in the sea of consciousness.
A golden demon with four heads and eight arms, a vague outline and a vertical eye between his eyebrows rose up from Xu Qing's empty sea of consciousness.
An endless red rage appeared, seemingly capable of burning the world and destroying the heavens and the earth.
Xu Qing was instinctively frightened and forced himself to retract the idea of visualization.
The golden demon with a blurred outline seemed to slowly dissipate unwillingly.
"These five great demons are, in the final analysis, the evil spirits of my soul. Once they grow stronger, there is a danger of splitting my soul." Xu Qing had a flash of enlightenment.
With his current cultivation level, he is not able to control the Fifth Demon God to destroy Ming Wang. Just the outline of it is at risk of losing control.
The good thing is that he finally got started with the fifth demon god visualization method.
If you encounter an extremely powerful enemy, you will have one more trump card, but the outcome is difficult to control. It is better not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
On the other hand, whether Xu Qingcheng admits it or not, his behavior is increasingly like that of a demon on earth.
If you want to cultivate your behavior, you must first cultivate your mind.
Those who can control the evil thoughts in their hearts are immortals, while those who are controlled by evil thoughts and driven by desires are demons.
It is normal for people to have desires, but excessive desires will hurt others and oneself.
"I have been in this world for two years, and it has been like a dream, like morning dew. How can I talk about the immortal and everlasting way of immortals and demons?" Xu Qing shook his head and stopped thinking about these troubles.
If life is short, we should live in the present moment.
If you want to break the impasse, you must seize the present moment!
He opened the window of the room, and the sea breeze and sunshine blew in.
In addition, the beautiful woman woke up with a groan.
She felt a headache and looked around, and saw the sunlight shining on the shoulders of a young man. For a moment, she seemed to be in another world.
The young man said nothing, waiting silently for her to come back to her senses.
After a moment, the beautiful woman finally came to her senses, "Isn't this the Dongming?"
"This is a naval warship of Jinghaiwei." Xu Qing said indifferently.
Beautiful woman: "You have already breached the Dongming."
Xu Qing: "This is just an appetizer. The real battle is coming. Okay, I have been patient and responded to you twice. Now you just answer my questions honestly."
Thinking of what happened last night, the beautiful woman didn't dare to refute.
Then came the familiar question-and-answer session.
She had seen Xu Qing's methods before, so she didn't deliberately hide anything to bring trouble upon herself, but she wouldn't say anything that Xu Qing didn't ask.
Xu Qing first understood the general situation and the purpose of the beautiful woman's visit to the Dongming, which turned out to be to purchase firearms from Fang Xiandao, the person behind the Dongming, on behalf of the Haisha Gang.
On the other hand, the Haisha Gang and the Dongming Gang actually have a lot of business dealings, which is why the beautiful woman is treated well on the Dongming.
Moreover, she had just arrived at the Dongming not long ago, and heard that Princess Dongming had temporarily left Dongming Island and the Dongming, so she did not go to the island and chose to wait on the ship.
Xu Qing instinctively realized that things were complicated.
What does the Haisha Gang buy firearms for?
And the firearms they bought were small, flexible, and extremely lethal.
This kind of firearm is obviously not suitable for naval warfare, but more suitable for...
Xu Qing thought deeply and felt as if he was involved in a huge vortex.
But he was not afraid. He had a lot of troubles anyway, and one more or one less would not make much.
He heard Meng Yuxuan coming back, so he took out a pill to replenish his energy, stuffed it into the beautiful woman's mouth, fed her some water, and then knocked her out.
The whole process is extremely fast.
Then he went out to meet Meng Yuxuan.
Meng Yuxuan told him the general results of the battle. Because of the shortage of manpower, no prisoners of war were accepted this time, and they were directly beheaded and used to report their achievements later.
These are all normal procedures.
In addition, many pirates still escaped.
As for the guards brought by the beautiful woman, it was obvious that some of them escaped.
However, the beautiful woman is missing. According to the gang rules, even if these guards go back, they will die. If they don't go back, their families, hehe...
Xu Qing didn't care about these things for the time being.
He didn't even care that the guards would reveal what happened last night after returning.
Anyway, it is a fact that the guards of the Haisha Gang set fire last night.
This news will spread along with the bandits who flee back to Dongming Island.
On the other hand, Xu Qing's killing spree on the boat could not be concealed. There were too many people on the boat.
This was also expected.
And even if he concealed it on purpose, it would be spread by the secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guards planted by the court on Dongming Island. The court wanted to make him a god, a god to punish pirates and Japanese pirates!
In addition, he also wanted to make Xu Qing and the East China Sea pirates become enemies.
Only in this way will those at the core of the imperial court feel at ease.
"Trying to strike a balance in everything will only hurt you." Xu Qing sneered inwardly.
He knew that this was the court's habit of employing people, and it was also a check and balance mechanism that resulted from summarizing the gains and losses of past dynasties.
When a place becomes too large, it is easy for it to form separatist regimes and enter a chaotic era.
This is the truth, but when it happens to us, we naturally won’t understand it.
On the other hand, Meng Yuxuan's focus was on the subsequent battle situation.
"Without the Dongming, at least for a short period of time, there will be no naval forces that threaten us near Dongming Island. I have sent the vanguard battalion to land and dig trenches to prepare for the upcoming war."
The most powerful thing about pirates is that they can come and go like the wind and have great mobility.
Once they land on land and are found by organized government troops, the pirates' greatest advantage will disappear, and their weakness of lax discipline will be exposed.
Under the strict military situation, unless one's personal bravery reaches a very high level, it is difficult to have an impact on the battle situation.
Even though Xu Qing went on a killing spree on the Dongming last night, he still wouldn't have much chance of survival once he was trapped in the formation of Meng Yuxuan's army.
Facing an organized army, fighting guerrilla warfare and flying kites is the correct approach for a martial arts master like him.
The prerequisite is that the other party does not have a powerful master to hold him back and trap him.
Meng Yuxuan did not hide the remaining military strategies at all.
Although speed is of the essence in war, Meng Yuxuan has already taken the absolute initiative by capturing the Dongming and gaining control of the sea, so he is not in a hurry to attack.
Moreover, the Embroidered Uniform Guards had already placed spies on the island to create internal unrest.
Meng Yuxuan needs to wait for the situation to develop, and then use internal and external forces to defeat them.
Xu Qing sent someone to inform Feng Wu and prepare to come to Dongming Island.
After defeating the bandits and taking control of the nearby sea areas, it would be time for the couple to go to Liubo Mountain to open the Xuantian Treasure House.
...
...
Dozens of miles away in the sea, the Giant Whale Gang's giant ship appeared.
A small boat approached.
This is a scout from the Giant Whale Gang.
Ren Tianyou and Red-haired Yankong received the news that the imperial navy had destroyed the Dongming, and they even learned the general story behind it.
Now this news has spread throughout Dongming Island and cannot be concealed.
After listening to the scout's report, the red-haired Yan Kong exclaimed, "Huh?"
"Master, what's wrong?" Ren Tianyou asked.
Although he and Red-haired Yankong had some grudges because of what happened to Xu Qing that day, generally speaking, the two sides were still in a cooperative stage.
"Although Xu Gongming likes to take risks throughout his life, each of his risks actually has a deeper purpose. If it was just for the route to Lingnan, he would not have to take the risk to go to the Dongming himself. There must be a reason behind it. Moreover, this move will undoubtedly offend the Dongming Gang, which will do more harm than good to his business." Red-haired Yan Kong talked freely.
The people who know you best are often your enemies, especially those who are close to you.
"So what's his intention in doing this?"
Red-haired Yankong said in a deep voice: "Maybe it's the same as our goal."
"You said it was for the mountain? How would he know?"
If Ren Tianyou didn't have Yan Kong, he wouldn't have known about the mountain. Compared to the wealth in the mountain, he wanted to get the secrets and elixirs inside more.
Now that he had a new competitor, Xu Qing, he suddenly became pessimistic about this trip.
The truth is, Xu Qing is too weird.
Although there is an evil monk next to him, this evil seems inferior to that one.
Ren Tianyou complained about Red-haired Yankong in his heart, saying that his professional ability in the evil way is not as good as others, so how did he get by?
Red-haired Yankong: "I don't know, but the possibility of this happening is very high, the leader must be on guard."
"What should we do then?" Ren Tianyou asked.
Red-haired Yankong: "Why not ask Duke Wei for help?"
Ren Tianyou's face changed and he said, "Master, are you kidding?"
Red-haired Yan Kong smiled and said, "Boss, do you think you can leave the wings of Duke Wei's mansion now?"
"No." Ren Tianyou looked sad.
Red-haired Yankong: "Knowing it's impossible, but going against the trend, isn't that what a wise man does? If it was Xu Gongming, I wouldn't have to say anything if we were living in a different place. And it's possible that Duke Wei took the initiative to ask him to help him."
The corner of Ren Tianyou's mouth twitched. Although it sounded magical, it was indeed something Xu Gongming could do.
Red-haired Yan Kong smiled slightly. When it comes to evil ways, he is a professional. After careful analysis, he felt that he had figured out some of Xu Qing's ideas and learned from the enemy's strengths to defeat him.
This is the style that people in the magic world should have.
With no other options, Ren Tianyou followed the instructions of Red-haired Yankong and went to ask for help from Duke Wei's Mansion.
...
...
Jinhua Prefecture.
Lord Wu received the news that Xu Qing and his men had broken into the Dongming, and was playing chess with Master Qian. But this time, he did not pretend to be profound and say something like "You little brats, you have broken the enemy."
He said directly, "Gongming left a letter, saying that once the Dongming is breached, we should open it and read it, and act according to the plan."
Afterwards, Master Wu opened the letter and read the contents. Without showing any emotion, he instructed Master Qian, "Old Qian, go find Sect Master Gu and have a chat."
Although Master Qian was curious about the contents of the letter, Dong Weng didn't let him read it, so he naturally couldn't read it, so he went to find Gu Wuji.
Lord Wu then read the contents of the letter again and again, and couldn't help but smile.
"Get rich."
