Chapter 261
Sneaking into the palace was an extremely difficult task for them, but now that the palace wall collapsed and the defenders were scattered, it was not difficult for them to take advantage of the chaos and enter the imperial city with their skills.
Li Changshi rubbed the stone city in his hand and sighed in his heart.
This stone city is a remnant of the sword-banished immortals in the past. It has no other purpose than to serve as a cave in the palm of your hand.
At this moment, in the stone city in the palm of Li Changshi's hand, there were more than two hundred other old soldiers.
As long as they can enter the palace, it means that more than two hundred old soldiers have entered the palace.
....
In front of Jinluan Hall.
The white marble dragon steps had disintegrated into pieces, and two "corpses" lay at the feet of Yan Shenji.
One was Qiao Shuangqiu whose body was as black as carbon.
The other one is Dao Ke, a golden elixir monk from the Dao Dao Sect, split in two from the middle.
At this time, the bright moon was still shining high, but the dark clouds that had just covered the sky faded slightly at this moment, allowing the white moonlight to shine through the clouds and fall on the two "corpses."
The dark clouds were rolling and floating, and several pairs of eyes were looking down at the palace.
The Dao Dao Sect monks did not want to fight alone. This time, Jindan Monk Dao Ke took the lead, but there were other monks arriving and lurking in the sky with him.
"Senior Brother Daoke, is he dead?" At this time, other monks couldn't help but talk:
"There is something weird about the man who claims to be the founding emperor of Dayan... No, there is something weird about his sword."
"That power that obviously does not belong to ordinary martial arts...is it the so-called power of luck?" Someone whispered:
"The Renwang Sword was the sword of the founding emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom in the past. For the past three hundred years, it has been regarded as an important weapon of the country and enjoyed enshrinement. Therefore, it manifested luck..."
"Is it all to blame that Xuantian Sect insisted on worshiping gods and forced out a human king sword? From then on, the invisible destiny of the dynasty was transformed into the tangible power of national destiny, and it has the ability to attack?" The monks' eyes pierced through the clouds and fell on the sword in the hand of the flame god.
Yanshenji just taught Emperor Yonghe two lessons.
He said, "Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers."
Therefore, Dao Ke, a Dao Sect monk who was a citizen of Dayan, put on such a arrogant posture when he saw the emperor. He didn't even come down from the sky and stood in the air. It was naturally disrespectful.
In front of the Flame God Machine, the immortal cultivators were insurmountable, so they were deprived of the ability to fly in the air, and were even oppressed by external forces, with their knees almost bent.
"This is not martial arts at all." Elder Qingyi also appeared in the cloud.
He was not outside the palace originally, but he just noticed Dao Ke's death and rushed here quickly with his escape technique. At this moment, his eyes were deep and he concluded:
"Holding the Tian Xian in his mouth... This is probably the manifestation of the imperial power of Taizu Taizu of Great Yan who holds the Human King Sword in his hand."
With the Heavenly Constitution in his mouth, the emperor's words were the law, and he could decide the life or death of his subjects with a single word.
"However, although this invisible force is powerful, it is not completely unstoppable."
"Dao Ke was deprived of the ability to fly in the air, but he resisted the pressure of kneeling and kowtow to the emperor of the world."
"And such ability also comes at a price. My spiritual sense detected that the invisible power on the sword has weakened a little, which is obviously due to consumption." A monk said.
These words made the other monks feel a little relieved.
As for the second lesson of the Flame God Machine...it made Elder Qingyi even more afraid.
He noticed that under that sword, Dao Ke's Dao Xing was briefly cut off for hundreds of years, directly returning to the time when he had just formed the elixir.
You must know that Dao Ke, who is on the fifth level of the Golden Core, has accumulated mana that is approximately several times that of a Golden Core cultivator who has just formed a pill.
Yanshenji's sword can be seen as cutting off 50% to 60% of Daoke's mana, leaving most of his blue tank empty.
Although the realm is still there and the magic is still there, the power of Taoist magic has been greatly reduced, so Yan Shenji can easily cut away the thunder method with one sword.
As an elder of Nascent Soul, Elder Qingyi's vision is naturally no better than that of other monks. In his eyes, this represents a terrible fact:
In today's era, if immortal monks want to improve their cultivation, they more or less need the incense of the people of the Great Yan Dynasty.
However, the Flame God Machine holding the Human King Sword can directly reduce the immortal cultivation of Jindan monk Dao Ke at the cost of consuming the country's destiny with one sword.
This is an ominous development.
The Immortal Sect was afraid of Emperor Yonghe, who held the Human King Sword, and did not want to fall out with him head-on, so they created a King of Qin and tried to establish an immortal kingdom on earth.
But now that Taizu Dayan has appeared, things have become more complicated.
Obviously, Taizu Dayan, who holds the Human King Sword, is a far more troublesome figure than Emperor Yonghe, who holds the Human King Sword, and they still lack understanding of this person.
The only thing they are thankful for is...
"Although the Human King Sword is powerful, it cannot be used. Every time the sword is used, it consumes the national fortune of the Great Yan Dynasty." A monk said:
"This mortal dynasty has long been in turmoil. Even if the founding emperor is reincarnated, how many more years can it continue?"
"How many monks can this human king's sword kill with the power of national destiny?"
After hearing this, Elder Qingyi glanced at the monk who spoke and just smiled:
"You see clearly, otherwise...you go first?"
The monk was speechless.
Immortal cultivators are all talented people with spiritual roots in the human race. Most of them are smart and clever people. They naturally know the principle of shooting the first bird.
Now Yan Shenji has a shotgun in his hand, and the bullets are limited, but who is willing to be the one who takes the lead?
These cultivators were discussing in the sky, which was not noticeable to the mortals below.
But their eyes would fall on Yan Shenji from time to time, which also vaguely aroused Yan Shenji's intuition.
He looked up at the sky, but only saw dark clouds covering the sky, no human figure, and Yan Shenji's face gradually became cold:
"Daoke is dead." He pointed his sword at Daoke's body under his feet and said slowly:
"If the Da Dao Sect wants to talk, it's better to change someone who can speak human language."
The dark clouds were flat and there was no movement, as if Yan Shenji was just talking to himself.
But this posture fell into the eyes of Emperor Yonghe behind him, which made him leisurely and fascinated.
After turning back from the shock, he realized that he had a sense of ecstasy in his heart.
What Yan Shenji did just now was very simple.
One is to teach by words, and the other is to teach by example.
He taught the use of the Human King Sword.
But he showed his own unfathomable martial arts.
"The ancestor is so amazing... my forbearance and waiting are valuable." In ecstasy, Emperor Yonghe also asked: "Since the ancestor is so amazing, why does he care so much about this dying Qiao family member?" "The enemy of my Great Yan royal family and the Great Yan court is naturally the alien---" "Shut up." Emperor Yonghe was interrupted by Yan Shenji before he finished speaking. In fact, Yan Shenji couldn't say how satisfied he was with his descendant. But after all, he was his blood descendant for many generations, and he was also the emperor of this generation. What can he do? "Child, do you know when was the last time I saw such a brave assassin enter the palace to assassinate?" ".... Forty-five years ago, when the top three in the martial arts world, the eight-armed Tianlong, entered the palace?" Emperor Yonghe asked. Yan Shenji shook his head. "That was a hundred years ago, when the martial arts world famous Xue Gongzi entered the palace?" Yan Shenji shook his head again and said lightly: "This happened nearly three hundred years ago." Three hundred years? Emperor Yonghe was stunned. The Great Yan Dynasty has been established for more than two hundred years, close to three hundred years.
The age of the founding emperor of the Great Yan should be over three hundred this year.
And three hundred years is about the last years of the previous dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty? Is it the past when the emperor was young?
"The one who entered the palace to assassinate the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was me, understand?"
The so-called cherishing of talents is often that the elders see a trace of their past in the young people, that's all.
Yan Shenji said expressionlessly:
"And Qiao Shuangzhao is the second mortal immortal in the world besides me. I'm afraid his real age is even older than mine, maybe three or four hundred years old?"
Although there are still blood relatives of the founding emperor in this world, they are separated by many generations.
Although Qiao Shuangzhao is a stranger, he and Yan Shenji are the only two mortal warrior immortals. Although they are not of the same generation, they were born in the same era.
But the Qiao family, who are older than him, have the ambition to sacrifice their lives?
This naturally gave Yan Shenji mixed emotions.
The second immortal? Three or four hundred years old?
Before Emperor Yonghe could come to his senses, he saw the charcoal-black body of Qiao Shuangzhao on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, coughed a few times, and slowly got up from the ground.
"It's just a fatal injury, it's not good enough."
The Jindan cultivator Dao Ke's thunder attack just caught him in the gap of his power change, and it came so fast that he couldn't avoid it.
And the thunder went straight into his body, almost breaking his heart on the spot...
And the key to his survival was not that he was tough, but that he mastered Wu Qizhen's flesh and blood.
It's easier for mortals to treat external injuries with medical skills, but it's much more difficult to treat internal injuries that penetrate deep into the body.
The same punch, hitting different parts, will cause different damage.
It's naturally different to hit your hand, hit your crotch, or punch your beating heart through your chest.
As a warrior who started with the disintegration of the demon, Qiao Mu already has a wealth of experience in how to treat internal injuries through the transformation of flesh and blood. It is estimated that few people in this world can catch up with him.
"Why did I fight, why did I die?" Qiao Mu stood up straight, and the blackened skin on his body quickly squirmed, and new flesh gradually grew out of it, squeezing out the charred dead skin.
He stretched his muscles and bones, and as time passed, his physical condition improved little by little, and his blood and qi were consumed.
"I just think... a person like Hai Wuya shouldn't die like this, that's all." Qiao Mu said calmly.
"Hai Wuya? What does this have to do with him?"
"You came for Hai Wuya, not for---"
Yan Shenji and Emperor Yonghe were puzzled at the same time and looked at each other.
In the end, it was Emperor Yonghe who roughly explained it, and Yan Shenji figured out the cause and effect.
"Hai Wuya?" Yan Shenji frowned and said:
"Break into the palace for an old man who is terminally ill and has one foot in the coffin?"
"I have only heard of people who risk their lives for their beloved, but I have never heard of people who risk their lives for their old men."
He turned his head and looked at the mess in front of the Golden Throne Hall, and felt that it was a bit absurd.
"The Wu Ji Society has the truth of assassinating the emperor, so they are naturally rebels and should be executed." Yan Shenji said:
"Hai Wuya, as a second-rank official and the Minister of Rites, secretly colluded with the rebels, and his crime was...using the power of the Wu Ji Society to secretly spread a kind of martial arts called "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" in Jiuzhou?"
Yan Shenji turned his head and looked at Emperor Yonghe, who was silent.
In fact, from the perspective of Emperor Dayan, Hai Wuya, just as a minister, colluded with the Wujihui to rebel against the party, which was already a capital crime. As for what crimes he committed, at most he used what method The difference between execution.
"I won't tell you what Hai Wuya committed in advance." Yan Shenji looked directly into Qiao Mu's eyes and asked again;
"He is already dead. Even if you, Qiao Shuangqian, capture the palace and rescue him, you won't be able to keep him alive for a few more days... Have you thought it through?"
When young people have passionate impulses.
But as you get older and your enthusiasm gradually fades in middle age, you will naturally know how to weigh the pros and cons and start to have an overall view... This is almost every adult's instinct.
As for Qiao Shuanghuo, he was even older than his Yanshenji, and he was obviously past the age of impulsiveness.
Now that you have weighed the pros and cons, why come to the palace?
At this time, Qiao Shuangtuo was obviously on the verge of death, and looked much worse than the Hai Wuya he was trying to save.
