Chapter 2214: Ancient Soldier Ruins, Twelve Star Gods

“That son of a bitch, Dou Zhao!”“Little brat Dou! You better not walk away! Are you still human?!”“Don’t let this master catch you—”Zhong Li Yan cursed incessantly in the mountain forest, spitting three thousand feet of saliva.He cursed until the birds scattered, the beasts fled, and the trees trembled.Of course, none of this could hold back Dou Zhao.But this round of hearty cursing didn't last as long as expected; it stopped abruptly.Zhong Li Yan, cursing at his finest, pulled his body and walked, flying in the opposite direction from Dou Zhao, a grin splitting his face.He reached into his chest with his left hand and pulled out another compass. He aimed it, increased his speed.Little brat Dou stole a fake compass, go eat dust, bah!Was the military strategy of Offer Valley a joke?He'd been entangled with Dou Zhao for so many years, how could he not know his style?He deliberately placed a fake compass at his lower back, a strategy of "false bait to lure the thief" — this dog of a kid was truly not a good person, he just had to steal and rob!Ren Qiu Li would certainly not hide in Yue Country. Neither Gao Zheng nor Wen Jing Xiu dared to let such a thing happen — although for a long time, South Dou Hall was indeed one of the supporters behind Yue Country. Even though the existence of South Dou Hall was in Yue Country's interest, no one in Yue Country dared to say anything about this matter.The Peach Blossom Source of Three Fragrances Pavilion could become a noose around South Dou Hall's neck. If they weren't careful enough, South Dou Hall might just become Yue Country's "Peach Source incident."According to the God Ghost Perform Heaven Disk, the last vestige of Ren Qiu Li, the Heaven Machine True Person, lingered outside the Fallen Immortal Forest.Only the Fallen Immortal Forest, which confused the heavenly machine, overturned yin and yang, and reversed the five elements, could conceal a person against whom the Chu Emperor had issued a decree of execution with the Son of Heaven Order.In other words, after the Hegemon Country's Son of Heaven made his stance known, Ren Qiu Li could not survive in the present world order without external intervention, even though she was known as the "number one true person in calculation power"!Zhong Li Yan held South Yue in his hand without hesitation and directly headed towards the Soldier Ruins.The so-called Soldier Ruins were the ancient site of the first Immortal Palace of the Immortal Palace era, the place where the Soldier Immortal Palace was destroyed. Legend has it that the Soldier Dao ancestor, Soldier Wu, also died here. The history of the ancient and near-ancient eras intertwined in this place to create a wondrous symphony.The power to destroy heaven and earth formed a historical ruin here that cannot be measured by numbers—Its manifestation in the present world is a huge ruin covering an area of ten thousand li, confusing everything. Stepping into it, all sense of space and distance is lost, making it impossible to measure its vastness. Or it is called "boundless."The entrance to the Fallen Immortal Forest is located within the Soldier Ruins.To date, six entrances to the Fallen Immortal Forest have appeared within the Soldier Ruins, of which four are fixed entrances with established camps. There are still two entrances that appear randomly in the Soldier Ruins and cannot be measured or captured.Of the four fixed Fallen Immortal Forest entrances, Chu Country controls three, and one is controlled by Book Mountain.Book Mountain is the holy ground of the Confucian Sect, a place where scholars dedicate themselves to arduous study and research, rarely getting involved in worldly affairs.In the early days, Book Mountain only nominally controlled this Fallen Immortal Forest entrance. The actual work was the responsibility of Evening Drum Academy, Yue Country, and South Dou Hall.Since the Long Life Monarch was stripped of his imperial title by the Chu Son of Heaven, South Dou Hall was deprived of the authority to control the Fallen Immortal Forest entrance. And a few years ago, Evening Drum Academy moved to Calamity Water, taking over the responsibility of the Blood River Sect. Book Mountain also bore more concrete responsibility in this area.By now, no one dared to let South Dou Hall cultivators pass. It is speculated that the two randomly appearing entrances are what Ren Qiu Li sought.The ruins of the Soldier Immortal Palace are permanently stationed here, becoming a part of the present-world landscape. The Soldier Immortal Palace in Yang Town was his re-creation, not a repair of the Immortal Palace's old site — the Soldier Immortal Palace did not have a main body that could be repaired.Zhong Li Yan was naturally not unfamiliar with the Soldier Ruins; he could even say he grew up here. When others were still in the age of playing with rattles and drums, his violent old dad often carried him to the Soldier Ruins to "play," with the noble purpose of tempering his "brave spirit."This place has many "evil spirits," all condensed from soldier evil. They possess the bravery of dead soldiers but lack spiritual intelligence. They wander in all directions, choosing people to devour. But most of them only possess brute strength and cannot possibly have any impact on true persons.Compared to the Fallen Immortal Forest, the Soldier Ruins are not too dangerous because the rules of the present world can, to a certain extent, still influence this place. The only truly dangerous aspect is that many ancient battlefield projections are condensed here. Some of these ancient battlefield projections are places even Zhong Li Yan does not want to get involved in.Of course, over a long period of time, these ancient battlefields have also been explored extensively. Outside the battlefields, corresponding warning stone tablets have been erected everywhere, marking the degree of danger to reduce unnecessary casualties among human race powerhouses — the clear grading of different ancient battlefields was established with the "Fallen Immortal Alliance" in Dao Calendar year three seven two nine. But before this, powerhouses from various sides already had the consciousness to do this, just that the divisions of different forces were different, and the information was also different, not integrated, slightly chaotic.Zhong Li Yan entered the Soldier Ruins with his sword, as if entering his own backyard. Following the instructions of the God Ghost Perform Heaven Disk, he moved swiftly like lightning. Amidst the shocking high speed, he still concealed his qi and blood, restrained his sword qi, brushing past the wandering, oblivious evil spirits everywhere.With the powerful qi and blood of a martial dao true person, as long as he released his breath, the evil spirits would immediately collapse upon seeing him. And once he restrained his qi and blood, concealing his true nature, these yin creatures were completely unable to detect his existence.While in the Soldier Ruins, it is very easy to lose the concept of time.The wandering evil spirits wear broken armor belonging to different eras; they depict the sacrifices of different wars... History is misplaced in this space-time, but history is repeated.Zhong Li Yan grasped its true nature, of course without moving forward.But his proud and unyielding figure suddenly stopped at a certain moment—This was not a special moment, nor was it a particular place. An ordinary-looking evil spirit floated over blankly, revealing a gap it had covered... Behind the ruin wall, a white-haired man sat cross-legged.This place was still a considerable distance from the approximate position of Ren Qiu Li indicated by the God Ghost Perform Heaven Disk.Zhong Li Yan's martial dao true awareness was already covered by a sky-covering deathly shadow; he felt a terrifying killing intent that was indescribable!And this slightly couldn't suppress his fighting spirit!For the first time, he raised South Yue, this heavy sword known as the "chief from the South," holding it with both hands, dyed by his qi and blood.Boundless qi and blood rolled behind him, and a virtual image of a blood-colored peak rose.The surging qi and blood of a martial dao true person were ignited at this moment!This was the most majestic mountain that had never appeared here before — it was more like an erupting majestic volcano.There was a silent explosion between heaven and earth, the sound of bones colliding at high speed, surpassing the ear's ability to capture.The qi and blood were fierce, like the morning sun shining on snow.Within a hundred li radius, all the evil spirits, regardless of their power level, including the one that had just floated away, turned to nothing in this instant!But within Zhong Li Yan's vision, there was only one sword — an extremely indifferent, extremely merciless sword.This sword was the cruel itself.If one were to say Thin Luck Lang was a sword that cut emotion with indifference, then Chao Wen Dao was a sword of "the heavenly dao to me."It desired nothing but the dao. Naturally, there was no such thing as indifference to emotion, because fundamentally there was no "emotion."Thin Luck Lang still had moments of gentle lingering, but Chao Wen Dao never turned back, never bent its body, carrying through from beginning to end with absolute coldness.The qi and blood seemed to divide the sea's tide, Zhong Li Yan looked up and then fell down.His breath sharply declined, and blood flew from his seven orifices without stopping.Such a sword killed its way over. By the time Zhong Li Yan perceived it, he was already injured by it! By the time Zhong Li Yan touched it, he was already defeated... He was even cut down — if it weren't for Lu Shuang He lifting the sword handle a little at the crucial moment.This was the killing force among the contemporary true persons, claiming the title of the first!A dignified martial dao true person, a contemporary heavenly proud with a renowned name, Zhong Li Yan fell down with one face-to-face encounter, unable to even block one sword!He had traversed mountains and ridges, crossed the South Domain, full of fighting spirit wanting to capture Seven Kill and chop Heaven Machine, but reality was that he lay on the ground, his face wet with fresh blood.Lu Shuang He had already stood up among the broken wall ruins, gave him an indifferent look, turned around and walked away: "A very fair transaction. I spare your life, and the Zhong Li Zhao family must owe me a favor."He had extinguished this erupting qi and blood volcano with one sword, yet he didn't care about any of it, leaving so coldly."Stand!"Such a voice came from behind Lu Shuang He."You give me... stand!"That heavily injured, near-death guy, using his sword to prop himself up, swayed and stood up.He actually stood up?Lu Shuang He's grasp of power was very precise; he was very clear that one sword was enough to completely chop down all of Zhong Li Yan's power, rendering this reckless Chu Country heavenly proud unable to move for at least three days.But Zhong Li Yan actually crawled up.Blood foam gushing from his eyes, nostrils, and mouth had already smeared Zhong Li Yan's face into a mess.But he still split his mouth, spitting out a very contemptuous voice: "I, the dignified first heavenly proud of Great Chu, abandoned the dao to cultivate martial arts and opened twenty-four layers of the spine, the first person in martial dao in the South Domain! I, Zhong Li Yan, how can I be so easily struck down by you?"In this contempt, anger burned: "If you have the ability, just kill me — the Zhong Li family will not owe you anything! The Zhong Li clan of Offer Valley will not, because of me, Zhong Li Yan, owe you, these South Dou remnants, half a point of your motherfucking debt!"He tried to pick up his sword, the already spiritual South Yue, giving him a response, trying its best to reduce its own weight, but he still couldn't pick it up.But he still viciously, with bleeding eyes, stared at Lu Shuang He.Lu Shuang He was unmoved.Whether Zhong Li Yan was cowardly or brave, vile or noble, these were all unrelated to him.He only proposed a transaction that the Zhong Li Zhao family would not refuse, but the transaction was denied by Zhong Li Yan. Then...He turned back: "Since that's the case —""Since that's the case, your Lu Shuang He's head, this old man will gladly accept!"This voice was arrogant, and golden light soared and shook the sky, displaying unbridled arrogance.From Zhong Li Yan's lower back, a wisp of knife light suddenly leaped out. Amidst the violent shine of the knife light, a golden, magnificent figure materialized.Great Chu Dou Zhao!He also knew early on that Zhong Li Yan had taken out a fake compass, and he also used a plan against a plan, leaving a knife white day dream on Zhong Li Yan's body.In this ancient Soldier Ruins, the white day dream became true!Originally, it was intended to rob Zhong Li Yan's opponent at the crucial moment and win the war fruit of the Great Chu heavenly proud killing the enemy — it is also a crucial moment now.When this wisp of knife light leaped out from Zhong Li Yan's lower back, it would inevitably cause a small impact.With a great enemy before him, it was very reasonable that Dou Zhao could not notice this detail, could not completely restrain this point of impact force.Although this point of impact force was extremely weak, it was enough to knock down Zhong Li Yan, who was supporting himself strongly, causing him to fall down ugly face-down — slap! He fell a proper one.His unyielding will was ignored by Lu Shuang He, his brave posture was pushed down by Dou Zhao, completely lacking in tragic quality. But he still struggled, face down and hand up, trembling unsteadily, erecting a middle finger in the broken wall ruins."That son of a bitch—"At the moment the white day dream became true, Dou Zhao had already chopped towards Lu Shuang He with one knife. He left the defeated dog's curse in the dirt.The Fight War Golden Body had already materialized in the white day dream, and he appeared at his absolute peak. In this kind of arrogant fighting posture of the golden body, he avoided nothing in heaven and earth.His body traversed the four wilds, his knife chopped the six harmonies. His knife light was everywhere!But Lu Shuang He only looked at him indifferently: "Your courage is commendable. But Jiang Wang still cannot challenge me now. You are no exception either."Crack, crack, crack!Centered around the Fight War Golden Body, spider web-like space cracks opened everywhere!Dou Zhao suddenly became angry: "I originally wanted to leave you a dog's life and capture you back for questioning. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant, living is a waste of resources!"Space cracks seemed to become bridges, connecting the other shore he wanted to chop down his opponent.He carried the thousand hundred space cracks chopped out by the heaven punish, rushing towards Lu Shuang He arrogantly and without taboo.But the distance between him and Lu Shuang He was getting further and further.This was a distance that space could not measure!Dou Zhao decisively held his knife horizontally, and boundless disaster qi rose from Lu Shuang He's dao body.Blessing and disaster have no door, only people summon them upon themselves.With this knife of people disaster, he could already chop into his opponent's past life. Its experiences knotted its disaster root. Heaven is angry and people resent, hence heaven punish and people disaster.One knife, two styles!But Lu Shuang He, from beginning to end, only gave a pair of indifferent eyes: "The Jiang Wang I saw outside Star Moon Plain is already stronger than the current Zhong Li Yan. The Jiang Wang I saw in Heaven Capital City has not yet surpassed the current you — When is his self-aware limit? I truly look forward to it."He said he looked forward to it, but there was really no emotion.That boundless disaster qi surged out, reversing and rolling him from the inside out.Among his flying white hair, he only made a "slap" sound, like a mirror, just shattering, leaving no traces.Dou Zhao quickly turned his body, wanting to take the God Ghost Perform Heaven Disk on Zhong Li Yan's body and continue to pursue — but this ordinary compass suddenly burst out magnificent light, connecting a pillar of starlight, projecting from the ancient star dome.Starlight actually entered the Soldier Ruins!In the chaotic present world, in the Soldier Ruins where space-time shifts, connecting the order of the ancient star dome, what kind of great power is this? It will inevitably stir up the rules of the present world!Under gazes that were either vigilant or surprised, a powerful armored figure floated out from the middle of the heaven-linking starlight pillar. He wore a mysterious bronze mask and had a pair of curved sheep horns on his head.This was the manifestation of Chu Country's Great Witch Zhuge Yi Xian.One of the Yellow Dao Twelve Star Gods... Descend Lou!Lu Shuang He's retreat was perhaps precisely because the star god was about to arrive.As long as the starlight shone, these Yellow Dao Twelve Star Gods could descend at any time. It's just that in a place like the Soldier Ruins, it still needed a bit of time to "build a bridge."Dou Zhao, who had always ignored others, was ignored by Lu Shuang He today.He, who should have been violently angry as if mad, was instead very calm at this moment, only asking Descend Lou: "How is it?"This respectable star god, obviously a part of Zhuge Yi Xian's divine thought, looked left and right for a moment, then said indifferently: "The last trace of heaven was confused by Zhong Li Yan, and was broken by Lu Shuang He borrowing your chop. They escaped into the Fallen Immortal Forest — Ren Qiu Li can indeed be called the first in calculation power among true persons, and Chao Wen Dao is sharp enough."Yesterday, the name of the Chu Country Great Witch was Zhuge Xiao Qian, following the flag of the sea race heaven proud, Xiao Qian Heavy.To ensure the identification of the role, the name was slightly modified, changing it to "Zhuge Yi Xian."
