Chapter 1014 What Comes From What You Say, the Center of the Vortex (Part 1)
Ma Qianli and the others had expressions of embarrassment.
It's not that they don't want to rescue the Tiger Wing Army, but the lesson from the past is right in front of them.
Chen Qingsheng was still unconscious on the ground.
Speaking of which, Chen Qingsheng's strength was considered to be in the first echelon among the soldiers in Tongguan City. Among the people present, those who were stronger than him could be counted on one hand.
He fell into a coma when he entered the vortex, so what about the others?
I'm afraid that after entering the vortex, his fate will be exactly the same.
Since they can't resist the vortex, what's the use of them going in?
Don't let the rescue fail at that time, and put yourself in it.
"City Master, we don't know anything about the whirlpool now, do we need to be cautious?"
Ma Qianli said weakly.
After saying a word, he himself blushed.
This sentence made him feel a little guilty. They can wait, but the Tiger Wing Army can't wait.
The matter of rescue was imminent, if we waited, the Tiger Wing Army might be completely annihilated.
Zhou Shu glanced at him, but did not answer him.
"Mu Yuan, lead the way."
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Shu spoke slowly.
"The city lord!"
Ma Qianli and the others turned pale with shock.
"Ma Qianli listens to the order!"
Zhou Shu shouted in a deep voice, "Immediately escort the people of Tongguan City to retreat, there must be no mistake!"
"Mu Yuan!"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Shu shouted again.
Mu Yuan turned around and turned into a white light, leading the way.
Zhou Shu, on the other hand, jumped down from the top of the city, followed Mu Yuan, and rushed towards the huge vortex.
"The city lord!"
The faces of Ma Qianli and others became extremely ugly. They wanted to stop Zhou Shu, but it was too late.
They never imagined that in order to rescue the Tiger Wing Army, Zhou Shu would be able to take the risk himself!
"General Ma, what should we do?"
The soldiers in Tongguan City panicked.
"Didn't the city lord give an order? Hurry up and escort the people in the city to leave. I'll go after the city lord!"
Ma Qianli gritted his teeth and said.
"But--"
Everyone looked at Chen Qingsheng on the ground.
"Nothing but."
Ma Qianli said in a deep voice, "If something happens to the city lord, we are all safe and sound, that would be a shame to us! The man is shrouded in horse leather, at most he will die. I can't watch the city lord take risks, but I retreat with peace of mind!"
"well said!"
Jin Kui who was next to him said, "Unexpectedly, there are a few loyal people in Tongguan City, and it is not in vain for the young pavilion master to take such a risk for you."
Jin Kui looked at Ma Qianli with admiration on his face.
Although Zhou Shu rushed into the vortex impulsively, Jin Kui was also a little surprised.
But to be honest, he wasn't too worried about Zhou Shu's safety.
Just kidding, the pavilion master and his old man may be in Tongguan City, will he watch his own disciple have an accident?
impossible!
That being the case, what is there to worry about?
If the young pavilion master encounters any danger, the pavilion master will definitely save him.
"The people in the city, leave it to us, you go after the city lord."
Jin Kui continued to say that just now he had promised Zhou Shu to escort the people of Tongguan City to leave.
"This time, if you can protect the city lord well, you will have great benefits later."
Jin Kui said something meaningful, then turned and walked into the city.
After hearing Jin Kui's words, Ma Qianli didn't hesitate anymore, gritted his teeth and jumped down from the top of the wall, running towards the direction where Zhou Shu and Mu Yuan disappeared.
The other generals of Tongguan City hesitated for a moment, and several people chased after them, while the rest sighed, turned and headed towards Tongguan City.
They comforted themselves that the city lord's order was for them to escort the people away.
...
The huge vortex was filled with thick white mist.
As soon as he entered it, Zhou Shu felt that there was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of him, and he could no longer see anything.
Not only the eyes, but even the divine sense were greatly hindered, and nothing could be detected beyond a few steps.
Zhou Shu's spiritual sense can feel that once the divine sense leaves the body, it will be attracted by the power of the vortex. This weird vortex can even absorb the divine sense!
Relying on the weak induction of the magic spell, Zhou Shu could barely sense the direction Mu Yuan was heading.
He turned his head, nothing could be seen in this vortex, and naturally no one would be able to see his actions.
"boom--"
Zhou Shu let go of the suppression, and all his strength exploded.
When he was in Tongguan City, he wanted to play Wu Zongquan.
Wu Zongquan may be a genius in casting soldiers, but his martial arts strength has always been on the bright side before, and he can't be considered very strong.
Zhou Shu has been suppressing his strength all the time, not daring to show too much cultivation.
Now that he is covered by the fog of the vortex, he is naturally not afraid of anything.
If he didn't explode with all his strength, he would also be brought closer to the center of the vortex by the power of the vortex.
Although he is also very curious about what is in the center of the vortex, but now is not the time to take risks.
He came to save Zhan and everyone in Gu Tianting.
"Is that why Chen Qingsheng fell into a coma?"
Zhou Shu exploded his strength, while resisting the pulling force of the vortex, he stepped forward.
He felt a strange force eroding his sea of consciousness.
This feeling is somewhat similar to the white torrent that erupted from the gate of the realm in the colorful space of the ancestral land.
It's just that the power in this vortex is much calmer than that of the white torrent.
If we must compare, the fog in this vortex can be said to be a weakened version of the white torrent.
A layer of light emerged from the surface of Zhou Shu's body, and the atlas of divine weapons moved without wind, floating above his head, protecting his sea of consciousness.
He kept walking and walked forward quickly.
The power of this vortex, the ordinary Dao Realm may not be able to resist for a long time.
Although Zhan is the Heavenly Venerable, if he wants to protect so many people from the Tiger Wing Army, he probably won't last long.
Must hurry up!
Zhou Shu was anxious, and his pace couldn't help but quicken.
The place where the Tiger Wing Army encountered the vortex was not too far from Tongguan City.
If it was normal time, Zhou Shu's full firepower would be able to come before the Tiger Wing Army in an instant.
But the place that usually can be reached in an instant, this time, it took a full half an hour!
When Zhou Shu came to the front of the battle following Mu Yuan's guidance, his body was already crumbling.
The Tiger Wing Army behind him was half unconscious.
What Zhou Shu didn't know was that many Tiger Wings had been swept away by the vortex and disappeared.
This is also something that can't be helped, two thousand Tiger Wing Army, even if they have the ability to fight, it is impossible to protect all of them.
In fact, the fact that the Tiger Wing Army is not completely wiped out is already the result of desperate battles.
"General, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
With a flash of Zhou Shu's figure, he had already come in front of Zhan, he said in a deep voice.
Zhan raised his eyelids with difficulty, and when he saw Zhou Shu, his face showed a relieved expression.
"I tried my best."
Zhan exhausted his last strength to say something, and then his body fell backwards with a bang.
"I know, don't worry, the next thing is left to me."
Zhou Shu caught Zhan's body and slowly put him down on the ground, his eyes flashed brightly.
"Mu Yuan, you move them out of the thick fog. I'm here to protect them!"
Zhou Shu shouted loudly, and as soon as Zhan fell down, all the unconscious Tiger Wing soldiers on the ground began to be moved by the vortex.
Zhou Shu didn't dare to delay, his body exploded with strength, forming a barrier to isolate the Tiger Wing Army from the whirlpool.
Mu Yuan was controlled by him with a magic spell, he was not worried that Mu Yuan would betray him, so there was no need for him to hide his cultivation in front of Mu Yuan.
Green light flickered in Mu Yuan's small eyes, without hesitation, he nodded solemnly, with a movement of his body, he had already put up his back, and ran towards the outside of the whirlpool.
"Clang!"
Zhou Shu waved his arm, a bright light flashed, and then a long sword appeared in front of him.
He reached out to grab the hilt of the sword and slashed forward.
"Heaven-slashing and sword-drawing technique!"
It has been a long time since Zhou Shu used the swordsmanship obtained from the Atlas of Divine Weapons.
When he was in the ancestral land, his sky-slashing and sword-drawing skills had already been cultivated to perfection.
Now his martial arts strength has been greatly improved compared to that of the past. This sword slashed out, and a sword light seemed to really split the sky.
The dense white mist was split to both sides by Jian Guang.
In front of Mu Yuan, there suddenly appeared an unimpeded avenue!
Mu Yuan was slightly surprised, this kind of power is not weaker than Tianzun, right?
This thought flashed in its mind, but its movements became faster, and it escaped from the range of the whirlpool in a flash with its back on its back.
After a few breaths, the passage opened by the Zhantian Drawing Sword technique was shrouded in mist again.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly.
The divine weapon he used was his natal divine weapon, the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
The Heavenly Emperor Sword has already been transformed by him with Yuanshi, and today's Heavenly Emperor Sword is also an out-and-out Yuanshi Divine Weapon!
The power of Yuanshi Shenbing is much stronger than Zhou Shu expected.
Just now he used the Heavenly Emperor Sword to perform the Heavenly Slashing Sword Technique, and with one blow, he definitely possessed the power of the Heavenly Venerable realm.
But in this way, it only cut through the fog for a few breaths of time.
This fog is more difficult than he imagined.
"What the hell is this shit!"
Zhou Shu thought a little depressed.
Originally, everything was moving in a good direction. He has become the lord of Tongguan City. Although Tongguan City is still facing many crises, at least he already has his own territory.
But at this time, this vortex appeared!
Under this vortex, not to mention the development of Tongguan City, even the base camp of Tongguan City will be lost!
After losing Tongguan City, it would be extremely difficult to find a base.
In this world, it doesn't mean that you can build a city by finding any place. A city with unknown origin will only attract attacks from holy and false gods.
"I don't believe it anymore, I can't deal with the holy, and I can't deal with a whirlpool!"
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth and said.
Mu Yuan's speed is very fast, even Zhou Shu is slightly behind.
To save people this time, it did not carry Zhan and others back to Tongguan City, but carried people out of the vortex from the other side of the vortex.
In this case, there is no need to go through the entire vortex, which can save a lot of distance.
Once, twice...
I don't know how many times he ran, when Mu Yuan felt that his spirit insect body was going to be exhausted, he finally carried out the last Tiger Wing Army.
At this time, Zhou Shu was still holding the long sword, standing proudly, the white mist hit him, as if being split by the long sword, and automatically bypassed from both sides.
"Mu Yuan, you continue to transfer the Tiger Wing Army, the farther away from the whirlpool the better. I'll go and see what's going on in this whirlpool, and I'll solve it by the way."
Zhou Shu gave an order, and before Mu Yuan agreed, he had already started walking towards the depths of the whirlpool.
Mu Yuan's eyes shook a few times, but he still didn't follow in the end.
...
"I'm so stupid!"
After walking not far, Zhou Shu patted his head.
The next moment, he directly restrained his cultivation and gave up resistance.
The vortex engulfed him in an instant, and Zhou Shu felt his world spinning, his body kept circling with the vortex, and the circles around were getting smaller and smaller.
He was carried by the vortex and headed towards the center of the vortex!
This is much faster than walking by himself.
The Atlas of Divine Soldiers still exudes power, protecting Zhou Shu's sea of consciousness from being invaded by the fog.
"boom--"
A huge force hit Zhou Shu's body.
This huge vortex is like a tornado. Wherever it goes, everything is rolled up. This fog is not just a fog, but it is full of unknowingly many messy things.
Just now a boulder hit Zhou Shu's body and was smashed to pieces.
That is to say, Zhou Shu's physical body is tyrannical, otherwise, if he is bumped by these messy things, even if he does not die, he will be seriously injured.
It's too late, but it's fast.
Everything just happened in an instant.
During the collision, Zhou Shu suddenly felt his body lighten, as if the pulling force had disappeared.
With the movement of the spiritual energy in his body, Zhou Shu did a somersault in the air, and his feet landed on the ground.
Then he saw a scene that surprised him.
In the center of the vortex, there is actually a small flower, or rather, that little flower is the center of the vortex.
The white mist swirls into the small flower, forming a small tail.
That scene was weird and somewhat spectacular.
The incomparably huge vortex finally shrank into a small flower.
That little flower looked so fragile and insignificant, it was unexpected that such a big movement came because of it.
When Zhou Shu saw that little flower, the luck in Zhou Shu's heart was of course gone.
"It's really a crow's mouth."
Zhou Shu sighed helplessly, wishing he could slap himself.
I am very afraid of what will happen!
This vision is indeed related to the fruit of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth!
Such a strange little flower, even if Zhou Shu has never seen it before, he can still imagine that this little flower must be related to the fruit of the spiritual root of heaven and earth!
Among the three thousand spirit fruits, one was born near Tongguan City!
Even if Tongguan City is not invaded by the fog, it is doomed to be unable to escape this chaos!
The Spirit Fruit was born here, and it is conceivable that all kinds of people will come to compete for it in the near future.
If he sits idly by and loses the spiritual fruit, the false god Jintong will not spare Tongguan City.
But if you want to manage it, Tongguan City will inevitably sink deeper and deeper.
If you want this spiritual fruit, you have to have it, and you have to have it if you don’t want it.
Zhou Shu rubbed his eyebrows, looking at this little flower, he was already cursing in his heart.
No matter how precious the spiritual fruit is, Zhou Shu has no idea at all now, he doesn't want to have anything to do with it at all!
"It's a blessing, not a curse. A disaster can't be avoided."
After a while, he sighed slowly.
"I don't know if I uproot you now, can you still bear fruit?"
Zhou Shu said to himself.
Then there was an eager expression on his face, no matter how miraculous the spiritual fruit was, Zhou Shu had no interest at all.
He doesn't mind at all if this spirit fruit dies in the cradle, at worst, he will pretend to be confused, anyway, I have never seen a spirit fruit, a fake god, how can I grasp it?
With this thought, Zhou Shu stretched out his hand to grab that little flower without hesitation.
Taking advantage of the fact that the vision has not been discovered by outsiders, destroy this little flower, and it will be over once and for all!
"boom--"
Just when Zhou Shu's hand was still half a foot away from Xiaohua, a strong resistance came from the front. With Zhou Shu's strength, it was even difficult to move forward.
"It's really hard to deal with!"
Zhou Shu snorted coldly.
"Then try, can you stop the Yuanshi Divine Soldier!"
Zhou Shu flipped his wrist, and the Heavenly Emperor Sword appeared in his hand, turned into a beam of sword light, and slashed down towards the little flower fiercely.
"boom--"
Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor Sword was about to fall on Xiao Hua, suddenly the wind howled, and a figure was thrown out of the vortex, and rushed towards the edge of the sword.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly, the blade turned and fell to one side, making a loud noise.
"Ma Qianli?"
Zhou Shu looked surprised when he saw the figure falling to the ground.
Now he is in the center of the vortex, surrounded by swirling mist, all kinds of things in the vortex, some are swallowed by the little flower, and some are discarded.
Zhou Shu did not expect that Ma Qianli would also be involved in the whirlpool.
Now his eyes are closed tightly, and although his breath is weak, it is still stable.
"Could it be that Tongguan City has been shrouded in a vortex?"
Zhou Shu frowned and thought, "No, if Tongguan City is enveloped, Ma Qianli must not be the only one involved."
"He came to rescue me?"
For a moment, Zhou Shu had already thought of this.
This horse is a thousand miles away, and he still has a bit of loyalty.
But now is not the time to think about that.
Zhou Shu looked at the little flower with a solemn expression.
Ma Qianli's figure was thrown out of the whirlpool just when he was about to slash it with the Heavenly Emperor Sword. Is this a coincidence, or did Xiaohua do it on purpose?
"Ugh—"
Without hesitation, Zhou Shu slashed out with his sword again.
"boom--"
Another figure was thrown out, and fell towards the edge of the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
It's not a coincidence that Zhou Shu retracted his sword with a look of shock on his face!
This little flower actually knows how to use people to shield itself from the knife!
Could it be that this little flower has become a spirit?
"Hmph, do you think that if this is the case, I will have nothing to do with you?"
Zhou Shu snorted coldly, "If you can understand my words, then I will give you a chance. You stay away from Tongguan City now, and I will spare you. Otherwise, I will definitely uproot you and make you have no chance." result!"
Zhou Shu said to the little flower.
The petals of the little flower swayed, only the whirlpool kept gathering into the heart of the flower, it didn't respond at all to Zhou Shu's words.
