The thousands of Chu people wandering on the Lan Zhui River couldn't believe that the only son of the Great General of Chu, Ba Cong, would die so easily.
The six Destruction Crossbows first broke through the defense of several warships, then killed the remaining six Xiantian realm experts on the warship, including three late stage Xiantian realm experts. Finally, they all pierced through Ba Cong's body. With a deafening explosion, the warship was split in two, and Ba Cong's corpse was nowhere to be found.
The Chu princess, Ba Tian's wife, Lady Chen, was also sent flying by the explosion and fell into the water.
Five breaths after Ba Cong's death, the Chu army was in complete chaos. They fled madly, and the trembling Zheng Kaixuan almost fainted when he saw his subordinates chasing after him as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Everyone, retreat!"
This was the last order Zheng Kaixuan gave before he fainted.
The reason Zheng Kaixuan had appeared was because Zheng Yu had recommended himself, telling Xie Tian that his third uncle was a rank four general in the army and could provide support for Xie Tian.
At the same time, Zheng Kaixuan also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some merit. After all, the two countries had been at war for a long time. Although the Song Country had the upper hand, this advantage was basically established by the Daoist Sect's disciples who had entered the secular world. Therefore, he brought 30 Annihilation Crossbows with the intention of killing as many Xiantian experts as possible.
However, he was very clear about one thing. He could kill Xiantian realm experts at will, but he absolutely could not touch Ba Cong. People like Ba Cong were taboo in the Chu Empire. If he died at his hands, it would definitely not be a good thing for him.
But Ba Cong had died. He had clearly heard the miserable screams of the Chu people, and he had also seen the crazy collapse of the Chu people. Moreover, he believed that even a peak Xiantian realm expert would die when six Destruction Crossbows fired at full power.
What made him the most sullen was that he had guessed who had done it.
Xie Tian!
The fainted Zheng Kaixuan shed tears of regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have asked Xie Tian to take a look at the Destruction Crossbows!
"I shouldn't have listened to Little Yu!"
When the Song army returned to camp, Zheng Kaixuan had not yet woken up. However, the personal guard who had been in close contact with Xie Tian was extremely excited. He immediately reported this matter to the army supervisor.
The army supervisor was overjoyed. That very night, he sent someone to deliver the good news to Bianliang. When Zheng Kaixuan woke up and heard the news, his eyes rolled back and he fainted again.
A day later, Zhao Ye received the good news. He stared blankly for the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, and then laughed wildly for an hour.
"Zheng Kaixuan has made a great contribution and strengthened the prestige of our army. He is promoted to the rank of Third Rank Formidable General and conferred the title of First Rank Earl. He is to immediately return to the capital to have an audience!"
When Zheng Kaixuan received the imperial edict, he wept bitterly, shouting madly in his heart, "Motherf * cker, I really can't live on like this. Luckily I've done a meritorious deed, but I can't stay here for long …"
Zheng Kaixuan gritted his teeth and struggled for a while. Suddenly, he pulled out his saber and fiercely stabbed himself in the stomach.
"Ah! Assassin! "
When Zheng Kaixuan, who had been seriously injured by the Chu 'assassin', was on his way back to Bianliang, Xie Tian had already brought everyone to the hinterland of the Song Kingdom, Yangzhou.
In terms of beauty, Yangzhou was the best in the world. It was like spring all year round, and the scenery was enchanting. The spring water was blue in the sky, and the painted boats slept in the rain. It was extremely charming and gentle.
Xie Tian left Boss Jia and the other three in Yangzhou to recuperate. Boss Jia pulled Xie Tian's hand, but he could not say anything. As a man, tears fell down from his eyes. After holding it in for a long time, he shouted, "I also want to cultivate!"
"Then cultivate!" Xie Tian nodded seriously. He then looked at Xiao Ma, who had lost both his arms and was silent. He said seriously, "Xiao Ma, I will think of all ways to restore your arms!"
Xiao Ma raised his head and looked at Xie Tian. He felt a lump in his throat, but he did not cry. Instead, he smiled brightly. "I also want to cultivate!"
After leaving all the Physique Pills for Boss Jia and the other three, Xie Tian took Xiao Jiu and the others on their journey again. Six hundred miles away, they would reach the Bladesoul Sect in the extreme east of the Song Kingdom.
The Bladesoul Sect was also near a mountain, but it was not the largest mountain in the Wanzhou, the Dark Mist Mountain. Instead, it was another Lock River Mountain.
Compared to the Dark Mist Mountain, the Lock River Mountain was only half the length, but it was more dangerous and steep. It was as unyielding and unyielding as the people of the Bladesoul Sect.
Two days later, the group of seven arrived at the Azure Green City. After leaving the Azure Green City's east gate and walking another two hundred miles, they would reach the mountain gate of the Bladesoul Sect.
When they arrived, Xiao Jiu and the others were very excited. They wanted to immediately return to the mountain gate, but Xie Tian stopped them.
"Your cultivation is not high enough. Don't be too hasty." Xie Tian thought for a while and said, "Stay here and continue to cultivate. With the Snow Ginseng Pill and that saber technique, you will improve by leaps and bounds in no time. During this time, I will go and find out some news."
Seeing that Xie Tian seemed to have doubts, Xiao Jiu asked worriedly, "Xie Tian, is there something strange about the Bladesoul Sect?"
Xie Tian nodded, "Indeed. The Dao Sect issued a decree. This action is too unimaginable. There must be other reasons. Don't worry, I will find some clues."
"You must be careful."
The group of people settled down at the inn.
Xie Tian sat cross-legged on the ground and took out the storage bag in his arms, as well as the last crystal clear stone on Ba Cong's body.
This time, the Evil Vein did not go crazy. It was as if it was full from devouring the Spirit Stones last time.
He looked at the two items in his hands seriously. These two items were not only treasures that Ba Cong believed could turn the tables, but also the source of the Evil Vein's excitement.
But even after Xie Tian looked at it for a long time, he still could not find anything. His eyebrows furrowed.
"When Ba Cong held the stone close to the bag, Xie Tian's excitement was the craziest …"
Xie Tian slowly recalled the scene outside the pavilion. Finally his right hand clenched the Spirit Stone, moving abnormally slowly towards the storage bag.
Suddenly, the Evil Vein's excitement was aroused. Xie Tian immediately stopped.
"There seems to be danger, but it is not fatal …"
Xie Tian thought for a while. Making up his mind, his right hand once again moved closer.
When his right hand was less than an inch away from the storage bag, Xie Tian felt a sharp pain in his head. Before he could understand what was going on, he felt his attention being drawn into a dark space that was a few feet wide!
"This is …" Xie Tian's pupils shrank, his eyes filled with disbelief. He muttered in shock, "This is the space of the bag! How can it be so big! "
Even though Xie Tian had stayed in the Sword Tomb for several months, he did not know that there was such a magical existence in the world.
He did not know that for the cultivation world of Wanzhou, both the storage bag and the crystal stone were extremely precious. In the Sword Tomb, only the core disciples and the elders were qualified to have storage bags. As for the Spirit Stone, it was one per month, and the core disciples in the Dharma Power Realm were only given half a piece per month.
"How could Ba Cong have this kind of thing …" Xie Tian frowned and thought for a long time. He had a guess in his heart, "Could it be that Ba Tian gave it to Ba Cong to save his life? Ba Cong's swordsmanship is extremely high, and his body faintly exudes an unpredictable aura. Maybe it is true … "
After discovering a big secret, Xie Tian's calm heart was also stirred up. He knew that the stone and the bag in his hand were not something he could figure out right now.
"Hey, there is something inside!" When Xie Tian saw what was in the storage bag, his pupils shrank again. In the space of a few feet, there was a buzzing small sword, sixteen Spirit Stones, and a book.
At this moment, the evil killer began to jump again. Sensing a strong danger coming from the small sword, Xie Tian took out two Spirit Stones and the book without hesitation. Then he moved his right hand away from the storage bag. Xie Tian's vision returned to normal.
"Phew …"
Xie Tian meditated for a whole incense stick's time before exhaling and calming his heart.
"When I opened the bag, my head hurt. This should be the danger that the evil killer sensed. It was as if an inexplicable force was extracted from my head and combined with the stone's light to open the bag …"
"The thing that brought me a fatal crisis was the small sword. Even without Ba Cong's control, it still emitted endless killing intent …"
"The evil vein only swallowed top-grade Fasting Pills and this stone. Could it be that these two things are rare …"
