Chapter 329 Snap of Finger
Chapter 329 Snap of Finger
The attack on the Shimizu clan was not as smooth as the Qinggang clan had imagined.
The patriarch of the Qinggang clan soon received the news. As soon as the clan's army arrived near the Qingshui clan, they were ambushed and hit by the enemy's fire-melting formation, resulting in heavy casualties.
"How is it possible that such a little-known tribe could set up such a powerful formation?" The Qinggang clan leader frowned when he learned the whole story of the war from his subordinates who had escaped.
He quickly thought of something and said to an elder next to him: "Elder Xi, you said earlier that the Qingshui clan was once defeated by our Qinggang clan. Could it have been so powerful when it was at its peak?"
"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be that strong." Elder Xi replied.
He is an elder in the clan and is familiar with many stories.
This time, the clan leader had consulted with Elder Xi before launching a war against the Qingshui clan, and believed that the Qingshui clan was insignificant. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a tough nut to crack.
The tribe leader pondered and said, "The rise and fall of all the major tribes have always been traceable. There is no such thing as a sudden rise out of nowhere. Could it be that there is another mystery behind the Qingshui clan?"
Elder Xi: "The clan leader's consideration is not unreasonable."
The clan leader sneered: "No matter who is behind them, it seems that they are coming for our Qinggang clan. In the next battle, we must show our true strength."
The Qinggang clan's hegemony in Daikoku Mountain was built on its invincible prestige, and they were unable to deal with the Qingshui clan that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
That would immediately lead to internal and external troubles.
Those obedient tribes below will definitely become disloyal, and the Tuoba clan next door will also be eyeing them covetously.
By then, although the Qinggang clan is a behemoth and can survive this crisis, it will inevitably be seriously injured and can no longer maintain its position as the overlord of the Great Black Mountain. From then on, it will be reduced to a second- or third-rate tribe in the Black Water State.
Moreover, a tiger in dire straits is always bullied by a dog. Once the Qinggang clan goes from bad to worse, it will become a problem whether they can keep the food supply of the tribe.
The Qinggang clan leader kept thinking in his mind, and he quickly made a decision that he must go all out in the next battle, otherwise, another defeat would shake the survival of the Qinggang clan.
After he made the decision, he immediately summoned the middle and upper leaders of the tribe for a general mobilization, and patiently explained the necessity of the upcoming battle.
Chief Qinggang knew very well that in the Jiuli world, any disrespect in war could lead to catastrophic disaster.
He had made a mistake once and he must not make it a second time.
Although the Qinggang clan has dominated the Great Black Mountain for a long time, everyone has already developed an arrogant attitude towards their superiority.
However, the well-reasoned explanation given by the Qinggang clan leader also made everyone's contempt for the Qingshui clan disappear and they began to respect them.
Moreover, the clan leader also reminded everyone that there might be other unknown powerful forces supporting the Qingshui clan.
No matter what, they must show their absolute dominance over Dahei Mountain in this battle. If this battle turns into a tough one, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the Qinggang clan.
After making preparations for the pre-war mobilization, the Qinggang tribe leader was still not entirely reassured.
He came to the place where the clan’s ancestor was in seclusion.
The ancestor is currently a second-grade wizard and is striving to reach the level of a first-grade wizard.
A mysterious light shone from the stone cave in the back mountain, and an old and distant voice rang out, "Shaochen, what big thing happened in the tribe?"
The Qinggang tribe leader then expressed his concerns, including his doubts about the power behind the Qingshui tribe. He even keenly realized that the riots that occurred in the Qinggang market a few years ago might be related to the Qingshui tribe.
After hearing this, Qinggang Patriarch was silent for a while and said, "What do you want me to do?"
He is the pillar of the clan, but that doesn't mean he is better than the clan leader in handling and judging the clan's internal and external affairs, because he has to focus all his energy on breaking through the realm, which is the foundation of the Qinggang clan's foothold in the Black Water Province.
Chief Qinggang: "I hope the ancestor will come out of seclusion temporarily and take action at the critical moment to suppress the power behind the Qingshui clan."
"Well, I see."
After inviting the ancestor out, the Qinggang clan leader finally breathed a sigh of relief.
...
...
The Qinggang clan's army was defeated in one battle, which greatly encouraged the Qingshui clan.
It turns out that the overlord of Daikoku Mountain is just like this, and the power of their Shimizu clan is so strong!
Unlike Xingyao and others who were excited, Xu Xuanhu seemed worried.
He said to Xingyao, "Now is far from the time to be happy. Although we have set up a large formation and temporarily repelled the Qinggang clan, their next revenge will definitely be much stronger than this time. We may not be able to withstand it."
Xingyao: "Didn't the priest say that the Qinggang clan has other enemies? Once they are defeated, they will most likely retreat and not cause us any more trouble."
Xu Xuanhu sighed: "I still thought things were too simple, and the strength we showed in this battle was too impressive. I guess the leader of the Qinggang clan must want to get rid of us as soon as possible."
He expressed his concerns about the matter.
Things may not really come to that point, but everyone must be prepared for the worst.
Fortunately, Xu Xuanhu had already sought help from the Taoist senior.
The next battle will be a true test of Shimizu's life and death.
Xu Xuanhu began to order everyone to continue repairing the formation.
With the experience of the previous battle, this time everyone carried the momentum of victory and arranged the formation more exquisitely, and everything was in order.
This is also the result of Xu Xuanhu's meticulous and thoughtful work.
And he never tires of correcting the mistakes of those around him.
Because Xu Xuanhu himself was a very upright person, others did not have many complaints about his strictness.
This is probably what Xu Xuanhu heard from his father: If a person is upright, he will act accordingly without being told.
The Shimizu clan is making intensive preparations.
On the other side, Qinggang's army was gradually pressing forward.
At the evening of that day, the golden energy in the west was very strong.
Three suns set, but it seemed as if another scorching sun rose from the west, and a murderous atmosphere filled the mountains and plains.
Everyone from the Qingshui clan couldn't help but tremble in their hearts in the large formation.
This is the foundation of the Qinggang family. Dominating the Dahei Mountain is definitely not luck.
Seeing the sharp golden energy in the sky getting closer and closer, the Qingshui clan members realized that the priest's concerns were not empty talk.
The golden energy turned into thousands of golden swords that fell down, like a golden meteor shower.
The flames of the Fire Melting Array shot up into the sky, creating a deep red barrier, but under the sharp impact of the golden energy, it also became shaky.
In the Qinggang army, the elders breathed a sigh of relief.
The clan leader made it sound so serious, but it turned out that the Shimizu clan wasn't as serious as imagined.
They were also very cautious and did not rush into the Qingshui clan's formation all at once. Instead, they planned to use their absolute strength to wear down the opponent.
The Shimizu clan realized that there was a huge gap in strength between them and the Qinggang clan, and now it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
But they didn't think of retreating.
Everyone in the tribe knew from a young age that if they failed in a war, becoming a slave would be the best outcome.
It was normal for one's head to be cut off by the enemy and made into a wine glass.
The conquests between barbarian tribes were so cruel.
Winner takes all!
Everyone's will to resist is extremely firm.
But it still couldn't shake the power of Qinggang.
As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, it only took a moment for Qingshui's fire-melting formation to collapse.
Xu Xuanhu felt deeply powerless.
His cultivation is still not strong enough.
Seeing that reinforcements were slow to arrive, he made a decision.
Xu Xuanhu did not choose to escape, but instead activated his Wind and Thunder Wings, broke out of the formation, turned into a ray of lightning, and rushed towards Qinggang clan's formation.
In an instant, a sharp scream was heard between heaven and earth.
It was like a clarion call.
The clouds dispersed in the distance.
Another group of unknown troops arrived, shouting and screaming, shaking the sky.
The elders of the Qinggang clan finally changed their expressions.
They then realized that the clan leader's worries were not groundless. There was indeed a powerful force behind the Qingshui clan.
...
...
The rescuers were naturally the Tushan tribe, which was transformed by the disciples of the Immortal Sect. They also knew Xu Xuanhu's identity. But no one expected that the young master would be so bold as to launch an attack on the Qinggang tribe for a group of barbarians who had no blood relationship with him.
This made all the disciples of the immortal sect feel favorable towards Xu Xuanhu.
Where justice lies, I will go even if there are tens of thousands of people against me!
This kind of thing was respected in the Dayu Dynasty.
The Xianmen army soon engaged in battle with the Qinggang clan. Although the Xianmen army had few people, each of them was elite.
The situation quickly developed in a direction favorable to the Immortal Sect.
Relying on his Wind and Thunder Wings, Xu Xuanhu charged left and right among the Qinggang clan, and no one could catch up with the corner of his clothes.
Only then did he truly realize the power of the Wind and Thunder Wings.
During the battle, Xu Xuanhu's control over the Wind and Thunder Wings became more and more subtle.
He became more and more skilled at dodging and moving in a very small space.
The Qinggang clan has many powerful masters, but none of them can defeat him.
With the help of the disciples of the Immortal Sect, the situation of the Qinggang clan took a sharp turn for the worse.
And Xu Xuanhu also recognized the origins of the disciples of the Immortal Sect.
Dayu Dynasty!
His father came to see him.
Xu Xuanhu suppressed his excitement and threw himself wholeheartedly into the battlefield.
Heart Moon Fox and the Demon King's Guardian were just watching from the sidelines and did not get involved.
However, they still sensed a powerful aura lurking nearby.
When the Qinggang clan was gradually losing the upper hand.
A terrifying pressure appeared in the sky.
The morale of the Qinggang clan was immediately boosted.
"Ancestor!"
...
...
I saw a pitch-black sky, and in the extreme depression, there was a flickering golden light, like a thick golden juice, which made people feel as if their bodies were torn into pieces when they looked at it.
"This is a strange phenomenon of heaven and earth that can only be produced by a wizard close to the first rank." The barbarian master who came to watch the battle nearby was shocked when he saw this scene.
They knew very well that this might not be the Qinggang clan's ancestor taking action.
They didn't expect that there was a terrifying tribe like the Qingshui clan hidden in the Dahei Mountain. Not only could they compete with the Qinggang clan, but they could also force out the other party's ancestors who were in seclusion.
As the black clouds approached and golden light flashed, everyone felt that they had lost their perception of the outside world.
Turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.
Plunged into absolute darkness and silence.
There was clearly gold energy raging between heaven and earth, witchcraft was rampant, and shouts of killing were heard to the sky.
At this moment, he completely disappeared from the perception of the people involved in the war and the barbarian masters who were watching the battle.
Horror, unspeakable horror!
It was not until this moment that the disciples of the Immortal Sect realized that in this backward barbarian world, the truly strong ones were still terrifyingly terrifying.
They suddenly lost their arrogance and felt uneasy and fearful.
Xu Xuanhu was also aware of the arrival of this powerful aura, and the other party's target was obviously him.
Even though he had wind and thunder wings, he still felt that although the world was big, there was no place for him to stay.
The peak of the second-grade wizard is so terrifying. I really don’t know how powerful the legendary great wizard above the first-grade wizard will be. I’m afraid that even my father and master may not be able to defeat him.
An indescribable heaviness arose in Xu Xuanhu's mind.
"Go or not go?"
He couldn't help feeling conflicted.
At this moment, he discovered that his Wind and Thunder Wings could no longer flap.
Despair spread throughout my body in an instant.
For the first time, Xu Xuanhu realized that death was so close to him.
Could it be that he was wrong? When encountering danger, he should run away as soon as possible.
As long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood?
Xu Xuanhu's body froze in the void, and his Wind and Thunder Wings seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
A sense of sadness suddenly arose between heaven and earth.
And in the dark clouds, the outline of an old human figure slowly emerged.
He is like a god communicating between heaven and earth, controlling unimaginable power for all living beings.
For a moment, everyone was shocked by his pressure.
Just like birds and beasts are helpless and trembling when facing thunder from the sky.
The barbarian witches' understanding and control of the laws of heaven and earth are completely different from those of Taoists. They seem to know how to communicate between heaven and earth and master the power of nature better.
A strong wind suddenly arose, and the golden energy became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to destroy everything on the ground.
All the members of the Qinggang clan were prostrating themselves, murmuring the barbarian's unique words of praise.
There is no one in the world more great and powerful than this old wizard.
With the blessing of the visions of heaven and earth, the outline of the old wizard became clearer and clearer, noble and indifferent, as if he was going to punish all enemies who disobeyed him.
"Little boy of the Qingshui family, you are good, but that's all." A hint of reminiscence flashed in the old man's eyes.
Many years ago, when he was still a young man, he had met a priest of the Qingshui clan.
He is so young and so stubborn.
Unfortunately, he is not from the Qinggang clan.
So, the old wizard could only apologize.
Just like before, the old wizard raised the scepter in his hand, and countless golden energy gathered.
The scepter is a damaged sacred weapon of the great wizard passed down by the Qinggang clan. It is the walking stick used by Kuafu in the legend. Although it is extremely damaged, it allows the old wizard to possess the power of a first-class wizard in a short period of time.
The golden energy gathered into a golden sword that could cut through heaven and earth, and stabbed towards Xu Xuanhu mercilessly.
With this stab, even the space seemed to be distorted.
The terrifying golden energy seemed to destroy everything in sight.
Even Xinyuehu was aware of the power of this sword, and next to the Creator, almost no one could catch it.
It subconsciously wanted to rescue Xu Xuanhu.
But suddenly, he stopped.
Amidst the boundless and terrifying pressure, a breeze suddenly blew from somewhere.
Under the pressure of life and death, Xu Xuanhu could hardly even think.
All the members of the Qingshui clan, including the disciples of the Immortal Sect, fell into terrible and boundless despair.
This breeze is like a warm spring breeze, bringing vitality and hope.
The void rippled.
A finger slowly appeared and flicked lightly towards the golden sword that seemed to be able to destroy the world.
