Chapter 579: The Birth of a Celestial Being
The next day, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

A piece of news spread across the country at the fastest speed.

A celestial being was born in Changling County of Yangzhou, and he gained the recognition of the Qingtian Sword, which was ranked second on the list of divine weapons, as his master.

When the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

Someone in Ansai County also got the news.

In front of the attic on the city wall, Jiang He looked out at the plain outside the city, with the reminder sound of Origin in his ears.

[Tip: Main quest ③ has been released]
[Task Name: The World and the Human World]
[Task Introduction: For the creatures in the Zhulu World, the Shenting World is undoubtedly the heaven above. Some powerful people in the Shenting World (peak heroes) will occasionally reincarnate into the Zhulu World through the channels of the Shenting Sect to cultivate again, consolidate their Taoist power, and accumulate luck.]
[This is dangerous, because the reincarnated dead are real, but the rewards are huge. If you return to the peak with a rebuilt body, you will have the hope of mastering the second power or authority through secret methods.]
[For these powerful people who secretly descended on the earth, the living beings of Zhulu have been accustomed to calling them "celestial beings" since ancient times. Celestial beings must possess legendary fundamental laws. Once their identities are exposed, they will often be hunted down by the heroes. In history, celestial beings who died because of this gave rise to major sects such as the Daode Sect, Tianchan Temple, and Xuanjin Villa, and directly led to the birth of the lineage of military strategists and sorcerers.]
[The celestial beings in this world, because the world of Zhulu belongs to the battlefield, lost the protection promised by the Shenting Sect without knowing it. After the Sun and Moon Demon Sect discovered their divination, they sent two saints to approach secretly, intending to steal the fundamental law. One of the saints succeeded, but because she fell in love with him, she did not report it.]
[For unknown reasons, the Sun Moon Demon Cult disclosed the existence of the Celestial Being]
[Task requirements: Kill the celestial being (ordinary gold)]
[Quest Reward: Immortal-level Skill Upgrade Scroll (Animal companion gains epic-level directional skills)]
[Task time limit: 30 natural days]
[Task Penalty: None]
[Note: Changling County is backed by a gorge and surrounded by mountains on three sides. It has a dangerous terrain and is the fief of Prince Fu, the twelfth prince of the royal family. General Cao of the Southern Liang Dynasty led 30,000 troops to defend the county, intending to ease the siege of Yangzhou. Tianren is the son-in-law of the local prominent family Yan, and has great luck. The battle for Yangzhou has quietly begun around Changling County.]
Not long after, Wuhe came to report.

"Boss, the Dashun Army has left Yangzhou and is heading for Changling. The Yangzhou soldiers and the aristocratic family coalition are planning to leave the city. It seems that they are planning to provide support. The Northern Dragon and Tiger Guards have already joined the Ruyang Army. There are a total of 100,000 people, led by the King of Ruyang himself, and they are heading straight for Changling County."

Jiang He's face was calm, this was a trap.

If it weren't for the letters from Lord Pei and Si Ning, as well as the reminder of the Origin mission, he would definitely have gone there.

Of course, I would go there now as well.

"Wuhe, send a message to Si Ning. There is a high probability that a small group of elite soldiers are ambushing in the Yixian Gorge behind Changling County. Tell her to find a way to deal with them. The medical fee for treating the injured leg will be halved."

"clear."

"Also inform Lao Hei that Pei Wuxing's second daughter, who is good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, should be married into the palace. There is no need to meet her. Just find a courtyard in the palace to raise her according to the specifications."

"clear."

"Tell Ah San to prepare to defend the city. Whether he can accomplish great things depends on his own ability."

"clear."

Jiang He thought to himself that because of the existence of martial arts masters, there had been tens of thousands of city defense battles in the world's history, with the longest one lasting for five whole months. The achievement of being the first in city defense in history was not enough for a sub-hero to be promoted to a hero, but he had his own means to make it happen.

call!
In Ansai County, there was a roar of flames rising to the sky.

The refugees who had gathered during this period fled one after another, the granary and armory in the south of the city caught fire, and the streets were in chaos.

Jiang He walked down from the top of the city wall and flashed forward. The speed granted by the God of Hunting made him seem like a stream of light. Even though the refugees fleeing on the street passed by him, he was completely unaware.

The south of the city was now a sea of ​​fire.

A sub-hero with a rat mask on his face stood there and laughed: "Your Highness Prince Yong, you are a step late. The Ansai Iron Cavalry is feared by the world, but without weapons, it must be difficult for them to dominate the world."

Jiang He snapped his fingers.

Rat's laughter stopped abruptly. He turned around and watched the flames go out. His face gradually became dull. The granary and armory were restored one by one. The power of time was like a miracle, incredible.

"An illusion?" Rat murmured in a low voice.

The heat wave reached the sky, and dense raindrops fell from the dark clouds, weaving into a curtain in the air.

Jiang He turned his head to look at the official road outside the South City Gate. A middle-aged man riding a yellow ox approached, holding a ten-foot-long bright red hollyhock in his hand and carrying a long sword on his back.

The fourth best in the world is the swordsman of Shu, Zhao Shukui.

"Southern Liang is weak, and the rampant bandits in the south of the Yangtze River are a fatal blow. Your Majesty monopolizes Qingzhou and is actually a prince. Why would he sweep away the bandits? As far as I know, the Emperor of Liang is not a broad-minded person."

Zhao Shukui had a smile on his face and his appearance was particularly handsome. It was said that he was a romantic figure when he was young and a frequent visitor to Huayue Tower all over the world. However, after taking charge of Jiange and becoming the sect leader, he obviously restrained himself and his face became more majestic.

"Are you looking for death?" Jiang He said calmly.

"This question." Zhao Shukui sneered, "It's better to ask the sword than to ask me."

Swish!
Zhao Shukui threw the ten-foot-long hollyhock in his hand, and the raindrops falling from the sky seemed to stop. The drops were connected into lines, and thousands of rain swords crossed the sky and then fell down. The sword lights gathered towards Ansai County, as if the rainstorm had come alive.

Without hesitation, Jiang He stepped forward.

With one punch, six celestial dragons circled around his arms, the stone bricks on the street cracked, the houses and restaurants on both sides exploded, and the torrent of brute force roared wildly.

boom!
Zhao Shukui drew out his sword named "Shuxian" and held it horizontally in front of him. When he punched out the sword, the expected yet unexpected force made his face change slightly. The Shuxian sword made a crisp crackling sound and did not break, but was vibrating wildly.

Long!
Zhao Shukui retreated a hundred feet and his back hit the city wall. His high-quality Shu brocade robe was shattered. The entire Ansai South city wall shook violently, steel and stones splashed, his body crashed through it, his legs cut the ground, and he retreated another hundred feet.

Send the guest out of the city with one punch.

Swish swish!
Sword rain fell one after another, shining brightly, and the humming sound of the sword blades cutting through the air was like the sharp chirping of countless birds. When the defense was exhausted, thousands of scars appeared. A graceful small sword that served as the main sword was hidden very deeply and quietly cut off Jiang He's left arm, but because of "Watching the Sea and Listening to the Waves", it failed to behead him.

——Sword Immortal Art·Night Rain in Bashan Mountains.

Jiang He tore off his tattered white fairy clothes and stuffed them into the Gluttonous Blessed Land. The upper limit of the world of competition meant that no matter how talented the swordsman of Shu was, he could not go any further. However, the opponent's swordsmanship had indeed reached the grandmaster level, but he had just stepped over the threshold like himself.

Take a step forward, and God will move with the heaven.

Jiang He took two steps forward and stepped on the broken flesh of Zi Shu. Unfortunately, this guy became the target of the rain of swords.

The golden auspicious clouds of energy and blood evaporated all the broken flesh on the ground, revealing his strong physique without the white fairy clothes. The auspicious clouds flowed between the edges, and the surging energy and blood emitted bursts of thunderous sounds.

In the third step, Jiang He raised his right arm and rushed forward.

——Dragon Spear Technique·Iron Railing Release.

A hundred-meter-long crack appeared on the street beneath his feet. The straight and sharp hand knife cut through the air like cutting through the ocean, venting violent force.

The wind howled and the rain rolled back.

"The Divine Power is the best, and the reputation is well-deserved."

Zhao Shukui's face was serious. The sword art of mountains and rivers forged from thirty years of practice echoed in his body. He used famous mountains as his body, great rivers as his blood, and the great refinement as his own use. Whether it was defense or endurance, he was undoubtedly the best in the world.

The long sword in his hand extended straight for nine inches, and the powerful sword energy intertwined with each other, building a snow mountain tens of meters high. It seemed as if a real snow mountain rushed forward, towering and unstoppable. This was the top swordsmanship that could smash the army of tens of thousands of people.

——Sword Immortal Art: Xiling Snow Mountain. Boom!
The golden light hit the snow mountain and the sword energy collapsed.

Zhao Shukui narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly moved sideways to draw his sword.

clang!
The knife swept past, leaving a clear scar on the Shu Immortal Sword. Zhao Shu retreated fiercely, and the enemy was like a ferocious beast.

"Prince Yong, did you locate my position based on your intuition?"

Looking down from the sky, a brute force charge created a huge diamond-shaped pit on the ground of Ansai. Zhao Shukui stood on the city wall and lowered his eyes. The moment the golden light stopped, the ground trembled visibly for several breaths.

Wow!
There was a flash in front of him, and the young prince tore through the space with his hands. His strong energy repaired his lost left arm. He used brute force and power to go straight to the top of the city wall from his original position.

"What a monster!"

Zhao Shukui focused his eyes and drew his sword, and the Shuxian Sword stabbed dozens of times in an instant.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Jiang He swung his arms wildly, and hundreds of afterimages intertwined into a curtain, blocking all the sword stabs. His strong physique was extremely tough, and he destroyed a large number of gaps on the immortal-level Shuxian sword, sending sparks flying.

Whoosh whoosh!
The rain of swords came again.

Jiang He swung his arm down and chopped with all his strength.

Zhao Shukui raised the sword in his right hand and supported the sword with his left hand, barely withstanding the enemy's punch. When most of the force was removed, he immediately lowered his body and kicked out, sweeping the enemy's lower body.

Clang!
Jiang He's legs didn't move at all.

Zhao Shukui was helpless, "He also practices leg skills, is he such a genius?"

boom!
Jiang He kicked hard and hit the enemy in the chest. Zhao Shukui fell from the top of the city wall and crashed into a house in the county, with smoke and dust rising into the sky.

The entire southern city wall finally couldn't withstand the aftermath of the confrontation between the two men, and it cracked and shattered from top to bottom.

In the ruins, Zhao Shukui propped himself up and stood up. A golden light descended from the sky, followed by a burst of smoke and dust, and the ground collapsed.

call!
Zhao Shukui stepped out of the smoke and dust, and a whip-kick with extremely concentrated power swept across his nose. Dozens of houses on the side collapsed, as if a complete street had been opened up.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Fists flashed and swords flashed, interweaving with violent sparks.

Click!

The ground that was constructed in advance by the sword energy cracked, and Jiang He stepped on empty air and lost his balance. Zhao Shukui ignored the blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and clasped his hands forward to lock the enemy's joints.

In an instant, the Shu Immortal Sword that had been released from his hand was suspended in the air, launching an attack on its own, with the tip of the sword piercing the enemy's throat, with extremely sharp strands of sword swirling around. The Sword Immortal Technique, Jianmenguan, was best at breaking armor and defense.

But at the critical moment, a blood shadow broke out from behind Jiang He, not only punched away the Shuxian Sword, but also kicked back, suddenly hitting Zhao Shukui's face.

boom!
Zhao Shukui crashed into the county government office hundreds of feet away. He pointed his sword to recall the Shuxian Sword, stood up and dusted off his body. Sword energy flowed through the 365 joints in his body like a rushing river, constantly repairing the damage.

"It's hard to kill, or not worth it at all."

"The chips offered by the Xie family cannot buy the life of a vassal king who will soon be among the top three in the world."

"In that case, let's stop here."

Zhao Shukui used his fingers to create a sword-like robe and greeted him, "Your Highness Prince Yong, I bid you farewell."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body turned into a light and ethereal sword light. King Yong's speed was so fast that it was outrageous, but he himself was not slow either. At least he had no problem retreating calmly.

"It's too late." Jiang He said indifferently.

A silver spear emerged, Jiang He took out a magic cube, and fed this sub-legendary level "Dueling Little World" item to the Changhen Dragon Spear. A burst of light flowed on the spear.

[Tip: Your exclusive weapon has been upgraded (1/7), the special effect Misty World has been upgraded to Legendary Level - Duel World, with legendary strength, and the weight of the spear has been strengthened to that of a medium-sized mountain]
boom!
A birdcage-like barrier covers Ansai County, with thick fog filling the air, separating heaven and earth.

Zhao Shukui let out a long breath, and the Divine Transformation: Pure Yang Immortal was activated. Pure white sword energy swirled around his body, and his eyes were pure white, without any trace of darkness. The damage on the Shu Immortal Sword was completely repaired, and a white light was shining.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

call!
Both sides began to charge at the same time.

There is no retreat on the line.

In his peripheral vision, the buildings on both sides were retreating at a very fast speed. Zhao Shukui slashed with his sword fiercely. The killing power was as strong as that in heaven and on earth just now, which sublimated Chunyang's fierceness to the extreme.

Boom!

Jiang He swung his spear down, the weight of the spear and his own strength combined perfectly to catalyze the Dragon Spear Technique - Broken Dragon Spine, with the dragon soul as the main element and the six-fold sky dragon as the auxiliary element. The spear tip cut out a crescent moon in the air and smashed straight down with immense power.

Click!

The Shu Immortal Sword was broken in the middle, and its light became dim.

But the sword fairy technique, Qingpingdu, had already been used, and the sword light cut Jiang He into two, destroying this extremely strong body.

At the same time, the dragon shadow hit Zhao Shukui's shoulder, directly shattering his cervical vertebrae and shoulder. Just one strike destroyed dozens of acupoints in his body, and the flow of sword energy was cut off.

The waves caused by the collision between the two swept out like a hurricane, destroying the entire east side of the city. The building debris blasted countless large holes in the city wall like cannonballs. The rain curtain was wiped out, and only smoke and dust were flowing in all directions like a river.

At the edge of the huge pit with a radius of 300 meters, Zhao Shukui couldn't help but put his hand on his shoulder, his face pale and with lingering fear.

"It looked like the spear technique could kill me directly, but how come it only had 10% to 20% of its actual power in the end?"

Zhao Shukui's eyes gradually became filled with shock. Although it was unbelievable, the fact proved one thing: King Yong was not only not a land immortal, but it was very likely that he was not even in the state of martial arts. This guy's cultivation was just that of a second-level martial arts expert that could be seen everywhere.

"How can it be."

"Isn't the old master invincible?"

Zhao Shukui's face couldn't help but start to turn ferocious, challenging the immortals on land with a mere second level, he knew very well that this was a desperate realm that he would never be able to reach in this life or the next.
