Chapter 718 Sword Immortal
The Three Gorges Reservoir in the Yangtze River was known as "Kuimen" in ancient times.
The black peaks carved by divine axes stand tall on both sides of the river. Under the clear night sky, a lonely island in the middle of the river is hidden in the lights in the river. Countless figures are moving in the lights on the shore, but they do not make any noise. The entire river scene is as beautiful and quiet as the night scene.
Amidst the howling wind, the subtle sound of the drone's propeller was hidden. Black eagles patrolled in the night according to a predetermined trajectory. The night camera scanned the black mountains on both sides of the bank and the turbulent river. A black iron boat with its engine turned off and drifting in the river cruised by, with infrared telescopes on the deck constantly monitoring every corner of the valley.
On the shore of Jiangxinzhou, a tall and beautiful figure stood in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the lights, watching the river quietly, watching the iron boats floating on the river reflecting the stars and the moon, as if they were taking a boat trip. Among the gorgeous upside-down Milky Way, this scene is quiet and beautiful, but everyone in the painting feels a solemn sense of mission.
"Do you think he will really appear? Dragon King Norton." In the darker darkness behind Qian Ying, a magnetic and deep man's voice sounded, and a tall black figure in military uniform gradually came out, looking at this rare scene together. In the night view, the rank of senior colonel with two stripes and four stars on his shoulders is particularly eye-catching under the starlight.
The woman's back did not waver at all because of the man's appearance. She stood straight on the spot like a rock on the riverside. The light of the stars and the moon faintly illuminated the expressionless cheek under the refraction of the river, even though she had an eye-catching look. Everyone was amazed at how beautiful she was, but she couldn't help but look a bit alien due to her robot-like coldness.
The woman's silence caused the man to fall into a dead silence for a while, but the atmosphere was not awkward, because this was a situation that had been expected. The Li family's orthodox carefully selected and cultivated the 'Yue' for many years before sending it out. Some temper. Compared to Yi Qi's instigation of being mentally prepared when he comes, maybe the other party's current alienation and indifference are easier for people to accept?
The man looked at the back of this woman or girl who was much younger than him and felt a headache secretly. He really didn't understand why his family ancestor insisted on sending him to cooperate with the orthodox family as the spokesperson of the family.
You must know that the 'Zhou Family' and the 'Legendary' have announced their separation for a long time. Now they have to compromise and cooperate under the trouble of the awakening of the four monarchs. In fact, it is not cooperation. The reason why the Zhou Family came forward this time is more because of the secrets of Europe. The party will intervene in the battle for the Dragon King's awakening. Over time, it has always been the mission of the Zhou family to resist foreign enemies and strictly guard the country.
This time's involvement in the "Bronze Project" is not so much cooperating with the orthodox, but more about keeping an eye on the secret parties in Europe to guard against any small moves by the other party. But compared to the European Secret Party, the man is more worried about the Orthodox side. Some of the things the Orthodox have done in recent years have never been less publicized than the Secret Party. In the face of the Dragon King's legacy, who can really maintain it, whether it is the Secret Party or the Orthodox side? What about sanity?
"Li Hueyue, right?" After thinking for a long time, the man decided to show off some things as soon as possible. "Before the Dragon King appears, I hope we can explain some things in advance."
A woman is also the spokesperson of orthodoxy. For the first time, Li Huoyue moved her eyes away from the river that she had been staring at all night, and fell on the face of the tall and handsome man behind her. Every woman saw this picture of male hormones bursting out. His face should express surprise, but Li Huanyue only took one more look and turned away, looking towards the river again.
"This is the first time that Zhengtong and the Zhou family have re-cooperated after 1840, but cooperation does not mean re-establishing diplomatic relations. I think this is the tacit consensus of both of us. But I also hope that even if it is temporary cooperation, we will We also need the most basic communication and trust." The man nodded slightly and said, "We have our intelligence sources, so I am not unfamiliar with some of your situations. You have received orthodox private military training, so you should understand How important is the efficiency of command execution in a mission."
Li Huanyue still didn't answer. She just stared at this man from the Zhou family, who was an authentic soldier. His eyes were quietly focused on every corner of the man, and finally he looked back at his handsome face full of energy and hormones.
"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" The man frowned subconsciously, feeling that everything he said was in vain.
"Name." Li Huanyue said, which was also the first thing she said all day today.
The man paused for a moment, then regained his composure and stretched out his right hand, "Xiangyang Zhou Family, Zhou Zhen."
Li Huanyue did not reach out to shake her hand, but nodded lightly. Zhou Zhen did not feel offended and calmly retracted his hand, "Since we have exchanged names, we have reached a preliminary consensus on cooperation."
"What do you want?" Li Huanyue moved her eyes away and focused on the river again.
"For better cooperation." Zhou Zhen stood straight and looked directly at the famous girl, "I have not participated in the dragon-slaying battle about the first generation species, and I know nothing about the underwater Baidi City. The relevant information has been blocked by your orthodoxy. If I want to cooperate better, I need to know what I need to know."
"This information is of little use to you." Li Huanyue said.
"Reason." Zhou Zhen said calmly.
"Your bloodline." Li Huoyue looked at the end of the river road, as if searching for something in the deeper darkness, "You are not qualified to meet your imaginary enemy."
"My bloodline?" Zhou Zhen paused and shook his head, "We have never met, how can you know the extent of my bloodline?"
"I don't need to know your bloodline. If I were the Dragon King, you would have been dead just now." Li Huoyue placed her right hand gently on the scabbard of the bronze Han sword hidden under her wide white T-shirt behind her back.
Seeing her actions, Zhou Zhen suddenly understood what Li Huoyue was doing when he looked at her so carefully. No wonder she felt unusually uncomfortable when the girl looked at her so closely just now.
"The results of a sneak attack and a head-on battle are different." Zhou Zhen shook his head and said, "As far as I know, your word spirit is 'Sword Control'. You naturally have an absolute advantage at this distance. Almost no one can do it at this distance." beat you in any situation."
Li Huoyue had no expression on her face and didn't speak. She just looked at the river. She didn't know whether she should be said to be arrogant or dedicated to her duties. The order given to her by Zhengtong was to strictly guard this place until the arrival of the Dragon King. From the moment she arrived in Jiangxinzhou, she did nothing but do what was necessary. In addition to the need for rest, he has been keeping watch.
"Any war in reality requires planning and arrangement in advance. This is the meaning of tactics. In the three months since the excavation of Baidi City, I heard that you have sneaked into the city ruins hundreds of times. I want to know about you." Have you made the necessary 'preparations' for Norton's return?" Zhou Zhen looked towards the river, as if his eyes were looking through the dark ancient city at the bottom of the river.
"." Li Hueyue didn't answer but remained silent. In contrast, the entire Kuimen of the Three Gorges was silent. No sound could be heard in the entire river valley. It was so quiet that it made people feel irritated.
"The Zhou family's cooperation this time was obtained through negotiations between 'Lord Wa' and your orthodox 'family ancestors'. As partners, we need to see sincerity." Zhou Zhen sighed and said, "The orthodox ones don't like to see this cooperation either Didn’t the negotiation just fall apart in the hands of the spokesperson?”
Li Huanyue took a step forward and walked towards the shore where the river was lapping, seeming a little annoyed by Zhou Zhen's remarks.
Zhou Zhen couldn't help but feel a little thorny and troublesome when he saw the other party's back. Perhaps instead of letting him be the spokesperson of the Zhou family, asking Zhou Jingzhe to come over might open up the conversation more? That guy's trash talk when talking to girls is much better than this guy who always relies on his looks and passiveness to attract women.
"I said." Zhou Zhen took a step forward and followed him, but before he could get close, a sharp force of Qi came to his face along with Jiang Feng, causing him to stop dead in his tracks. His right hand seemed to be grabbing. Live something hidden behind.
"Stand back, stay away from me." Li Huoyue pressed her right hand gently on the hilt of the sword, signaling Zhou Zhen not to move forward anymore. This was a threat. The girl's eyes quietly ignited, representing the 'moon' After his blood boiled, the unquestionable pressure crushed Zhou Zhen who followed like a substance.
Zhou Zhen suddenly raised his feet and took half a step back. At this moment, he finally understood what the 'moon' represented. It was a spiritual pressure like a mountain or a sea. Anyone who has faced the Three Gorges Dam directly will be overwhelmed by the flood. Shocked by the spectacular scene, tsunamis, flash floods, storms, and similar natural phenomena will all bring a small sense of shock to people. When was the last time he backed away from the pressure of his bloodline? The time when the ancient mausoleum faced the next generation? Now this half-year-old child actually brings him the same feeling!
"I have heard for a long time that 'Huoyue' has a fiery temperament, but now it seems that she is worthy of her name. Do you want to draw your sword against the Allies in front of the battle?" Zhou Zhen stood up straight, and even took a step forward, looking directly into the golden color of her remaining eyes.
Rao, who has always been calm and rarely impulsive, has his bloodline aroused at this moment, with a sullen and golden look in his eyes. Although Li Hueyue's 'Sword Control' is indeed very tricky, the bloodline represented by 'Moon' is indeed terrifying. Incomparable, but as the representative of the Zhou family, it was impossible for him to take a step back under such a pure threat of force. Moreover, 'Lord Wa' also made him come prepared this time.
Li Huanyue really drew his sword, and the ancient bronze sword 'Han Bafang' was slowly drawn out from the dark wood scabbard of the jade sword with all four treasures. Zhou Zhen was also stunned for a moment, and then his blood started to surge and he couldn't help but feel angry. Coming up, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the rusty ring-headed ancient sword that had been with him ever since he left Xiangyang, his golden eyes blazing.
It was the ancient alchemy sword that 'Lord Wa' had specially approved for him to bring. It was a keepsake of the 'Zhou family'. It could even be called a 'treasure of the clan' in a fantasy novel. The name was Duanlongtai, and the sword lived up to its name. The purpose of pulling it out is to cut off the dragon's head, but you have to pay a certain price. At a certain time, Zhou Zhen is allowed to directly use the 'Dragon Cutting Platform' to defend the dignity of the Zhou family or the future of mankind, but no matter what, this ancient alchemical weapon It was assumed that the sword was drawn out when he met the Dragon King. If he drew it out now, he could have a mighty fight with the monster Li Hueyue, but was it really worth paying the 'price' for it afterwards?
Of course it's worth it. If you use the 'Dragon Broken Platform' to destroy Zhou Zhen, then wouldn't it be enough to wait until the Dragon King battle to find a disciple named Zhou to draw the sword? There are many people in the Zhou family who have better blood than him, but there are very few people in the Zhou family who are as courageous as him.
There may be another one, his cousin Zhou Jingzhe. If it was the other party, he might have already pulled out half of the Broken Dragon Platform when Li Hueyue threatened.
This can be regarded as Zhou Zhen's biggest advantage. He has always been decisive and sharp in doing things. He will do it immediately after weighing the pros and cons. As long as Li Hueyue pulls out the Han Bafang, he will pull out the Broken Dragon Platform. This is his decision. , which is also the decision of the Zhou family.
Li Huoyue continued to draw his sword, and Zhou Zhen even saw something suspected of "sword light" lighting up from behind the Han Bafang sword, which was as clear as water waves. The light spilled out from the blades on both sides, and even illuminated Zhou Zhen’s cheek is so close! ?
Could this be the vision before the release of ‘Jian Yu’? Is there such a huge momentum?
Zhou Zhen didn't know it, but he grasped the hilt of the ring-shou ancient sword with his hand and pulled out an inch, revealing the rusty and rustic sword body inside. The ancient and wild aura also spilled out on the riverside.
"I suggest you take action after I die. It's too early to pull out what's behind your back." Li Huanyue said calmly.
Zhou Zhen, who was already prepared to fight to the death in a momentary fight, stopped what he was doing, because in his sight, Li Hueyue slowly raised the Han Bafang in his hand, which revealed the reason for the angle. It just blocked Zhou Zhen's field of vision - the light like the early sun shining in the east.
This is not a sword light. This is simply a vision of the rising sun. The sun rises in the far distance, bringing with it the dawn-like light of fire!
Zhou Zhen's expression changed and he glanced at his watch subconsciously. The time stopped at two o'clock in the morning. At this time, the dogs were not asleep and the chickens were not up yet. How could the sun rise from the east?
Then there is only one answer.
Li Huoyue took out the Han Bafang. The inscription on the knife was instantly illuminated by the rising light in the distance. In the reflection of the girl's burning eyes, the rising sun actually appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Expanding and approaching their river area.
The light soared until it illuminated the entire river mouth as brightly as daylight. Schools of fish were running and escaping at the bottom of the river. The fire burning the temperature of the river water was like the edge of a knife, peeling away the darkness shrouded in the mountains on both sides of Kuimen inch by inch until it was almost Every darkness was driven away, leaving only light, and only the gods in the flames that surged through the waves!
The next moment, the alarm bells roared! The whistle suddenly sounded on the river! The entire Jiangxinzhou woke up from the darkness in an instant, and the shrill air-raid sirens flashed across the entire Kuimen River! The entire Kuimen woke up, all prevention and control measures were awakened, the artillery hidden in the mountains was raised, and troops one after another were transported from both sides of the strait and within Jiangxin Continent to the designated location.
"The invasion of the King of Bronze and Fire has been detected, and the first level of alert has been entered. The first dragon-slaying plan has been activated."
Li Huoyue's voice rang out in the chaos. Zhou Zhen looked at her and finally realized that the creepy intimidation was not directed at him. Li Huoyue, who had an extremely excellent bloodline, had been there before everyone else. Sensing the abnormality in Jiang Xinzhou tonight, she was ready to draw her sword early.
Zhou Zhen saw Li Huoyue holding a walkie-talkie and asked quickly and subconsciously, "The first dragon-slaying plan? What is the first dragon-slaying plan? How is the 'Orthodox' prepared to deal with this situation? What should I do to help?" "
Zhou Zhen was sent by the Zhou family for cooperation and assistance. Before he arrived, Zhengtong had already arranged everything, and it was difficult for Zhou Zhen to get too much information. This also led to his choice tonight. Li Huanyue communicated, but now it seems that the place chosen at this time is too coincidental.
"You don't need to do anything now." Li Huoyue took a step forward, and the ancient bronze sword in her hand began to vibrate as if inspired.
She walked to the cliff on the shore. Below, the raging river was illuminated by light and beat against the rocks like flowing flames. She stepped on the cliff and the turbulent river waves, looking at the surging river in the distance. In the light of the fire, his gaze was like an eagle's, fixating on the pale, god-like figure in the flames.
His Highness Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire.
After being displaced for thousands of years, he finally found his way back. The rivers and scenery along the way would illuminate the way forward for this king with his burning self.
Zhou Zhen could almost feel the terrifying majesty approaching quickly in the firelight. What was the first dragon-slaying plan? What earth-shattering preparations did Orthodoxy make for the ambush against the Dragon King? Underwater mine clearance or surface-to-surface missiles already hidden in the mountains? Or maybe someone else can lift an experimental amphibious robot from the mountains and forests of Kuimen? He walked forward quickly and wanted to say something, but his words were interrupted again.
"I am the first dragon-slaying plan." Li Huoyue interrupted Zhou Zhen calmly.
After the words fell, before Zhou Zhen could react, the word spirit of 'Jian Yu' opened instantly, her scorching golden pupils burned to the extreme, and the Han Bafang ancient sword in her hand also vibrated to the extreme, and she shook out the Han Bafang! The ancient bronze sword was controlled by the power of the domain and lit up with an astonishing rainbow light!
"If I die, then it's up to you to activate the second dragon-slaying plan." In the rainbow light, Zhou Zhen heard Li Huanyue say.
In the wave of light and fire, the girl's white T-shirt, which was fat enough to cover her lower body, was blown by the sudden strong river wind. The Han Bafang in her hand was raised high and pointed straight at the sky. The magnetic field rotated around her body. The alchemy field of the Bafang Ancient Sword instantly echoed with the magnetic field to form a new composite field.
Sword Control·Thunder moves in all directions.
At a speed that Zhou Zhen didn't even have time to stop, she actually flew away with her sword in the rainbow light just like the sword fairy in a real fairy tale! The sword light, which was as sharp as the beginning of the world, was directed at the dragon king at the end of the river road who was carrying the world-burning wrath under the movement of the white figure!
Go east with one sword.
