Chapter 408: Strength Is Revealed for the First Time! Everyone Is Shocked!
Cangzhou, Yingtianfu, Qishan Road Crossing.
In a pavilion.
Jiang Che and Lu Jieyun were sitting opposite each other, with a chessboard placed in the middle. The black and white pieces were fighting, and Jiang Che's side had the upper hand.
Although Jiang Che's chess skills are average, it is obvious that Lu Jieyun's chess skills are even worse. He is often cut off by Jiang Che's backhand. Using chess to judge people, Jiang Che feels that Lu Jieyun should have an all-or-nothing character.
But in Lu Jieyun's view, Jiang Che was not like this.
It can even be said that the purpose is achieved by any means.
The chess style is ruthless, and it seems that there is only a target in his eyes.
"Now Lu finally understands why Brother Jiang has achieved such success in just a few years. Such a character alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Throwing the chess piece aside casually, Lu Jieyun resigned himself to defeat.
"Brother Lu, why not?"
Jiang Che chuckled.
The two looked at each other, their eyes twinkling.
"I wonder what Brother Jiang thinks of the imperial court?" Lu Jieyun suddenly spoke as his voice changed.
"What does Brother Lu mean?"
"Of course it's the attitude toward the court."
Jiang Che smiled when he heard this and pointed to his feet:
"You and I have risked our lives to intercept and kill the Northern Barbarian envoys. What do you think our attitude should be towards the imperial court Jiang?"
"The next step, Brother Jiang, are you going to stay in the capital or be assigned to the state capital?"
"Where's Brother Lu?"
"After this battle, Mr. Lu will go to the northern border. Is Brother Jiang interested?" Although the contact time was short, Lu Jieyun still trusted Jiang Che's character.
Although the other party is not a good person in the conventional sense, he has a good temper towards him.
Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Che has a deep background and strong strength. In addition, he is the only existence that is not in his memory, and he really wants to deepen his relationship with him.
Jiang Che shook his head:
"Jiang was born in the south, and his next step is to return to the south."
Jiang Che didn't know much about Beidi, nor was he interested in knowing about it. Unless there were the sacrifices he needed, he would not go there to become an official.
The north is not as good as the south. He has the background, strength, and connections. He has every hope of replacing Li Chengguo as the de facto frontier official of Yuezhou in the future.
Lu Jieyun nodded thoughtfully, but he still couldn't hide his disappointment. There were opportunities in the North, but the opportunities there were also hard to come by.
It would be much easier if someone helped.
"Brother Lu, now is it time for you to reveal the truth about Ji Changsheng's mother and son?" Jiang Che didn't want to beat around the bush. Apart from sacrifices, this was the issue he was most concerned about.
After all, it is also related to the next sacrifice, the Heavenly Demon Jade Emperor Lotus.
"this"
Just when Lu Jieyun was about to say something, suddenly, his and Jiang Che's expressions changed at the same time, they looked at each other, and a hint of smile appeared at the corners of their mouths in perfect agreement:
"coming!"
Qishan crossing.
Zakumu and his party finally arrived. In order to avoid any accidents, not only did they not bring all the guards with them this time, they even left their mounts in the capital.
He even dressed up as a Central Plains attire, and his cultivation level was suppressed to about innate.
Just so as not to attract other people's attention.
"Finally we have arrived at the Qishan Pass. If we walk a little further, we should arrive at Qi Niu Valley." Rimuzhen let out a sigh of relief. In fact, based on their cultivation, the speed should not be so slow.
But in order to adapt to the cultivation level of the innate warriors, their speed was also reduced.
It made him somewhat uncomfortable.
"Actually, I feel that you, Priest Sufeng, are too cautious. You have not encountered any dangers along the way. In the words of the Central Plains people, you are too unfounded to worry."
Zakumu felt that even if they returned north without hesitation, there wouldn't be any problems. Being so hidden seemed like they were a little too afraid of the Central Plains people.
In fact, in his opinion, with two venerables sitting in charge, and with him being comparable to a Dharma Grandmaster, almost no one can do anything to them as long as the Martial Saint does not show up.
"Be cautious. That's right. In fact, I had a bad premonition along the way, but I can't tell what went wrong."
Sufeng was not as fearless as Rimuzhen and Zakumu, but he had a bad premonition, as if there was a dangerous haze hanging over his head.
"Su Feng, you are getting older and older, but why are you getting less and less courageous?" Rimuzhen immediately laughed.
"Yes, the Central Plains Imperial Court and the Qingtian Sect support us, so what danger can there be?"
Zakumu didn't take it seriously.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. No one knows where the danger will come from."
Su Feng frowned.
"Where did it come from? Could it be from now?"
Zakumu smiled faintly.
Li Mu really wanted to echo, but suddenly, as if he sensed something, his eyes suddenly focused and he looked at Su Feng aside:
"Is it too quiet around here?"
He is different from Zakumu who has been growing up in the royal court. He only got what he is today after fighting in bloody battles. He is also very sensitive to danger and always feels that something is not right around him.
Su Feng's face looked a little ugly. He stopped where he was and looked around with his consciousness:
"Something's wrong here, let's go, let's go!"
"What?!"
Zakumu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. The previous indifference was based on confidence, but seeing the expressions of the two venerables, he also knew that something was wrong.
When ready to turn back and retreat.
However, the three of them didn't wait to make a move.
Suddenly, within a radius of ten thousand feet, rays of light rose from the ground, and in an instant, the surrounding area was sealed. Likewise, Zakumu and the others were trapped in the formation.
A faint pressure also moved towards the three people.
"I wonder which fellow Taoist is here, can you show up and meet him?"
Looking at the surrounding formations, Su Feng immediately began to change his mind. He found that this seemed to be just a trapping formation that could only restrict their actions, but it was not a killing formation.
The person who came probably didn't have murderous intentions.
But what he didn't know was that the reason why Lu Jieyun and Jiang Che didn't set up a killing array was so as not to leave too many traces. After all, the great master of Shen Xiang already had a premonition of whim.
If a killing array is set up, it will be difficult to bring people in.
The trap formation is different, it will make people relax their vigilance to a certain extent.
"boom!"
Along with a roar that resounded throughout the world, a black stream of light hit the ground from above the void, creating a huge crater, and the surrounding ground was even cracked, like a spider web.
Although it was obscured by dust and smoke, the three of them, Zakumu, were all masters of divine appearance, and their sight was hardly affected. Looking at the fallen things, the expressions of the three of them changed at the same time.
"Why does this thing seem so familiar to me?"
Zakumu frowned and thought.
Zakumu's eyes were filled with cold light:
"It's Jiang Che's ancient divine halberd!"
He had fought against Jiang Che, and was severely punished by this divine halberd. He was deeply impressed. Later, he even investigated some situations about Jiang Che.
Naturally, he knew that Jiang Che had obtained the divine halberd from the Holy Son of Qingtian Sect.
"It turns out it's him. He's quite courageous."
Rimuzhen curled his lips, and the solemn expression before disappeared, and was replaced by a confident look, facing a great master who was in the early stage of his appearance.
He has plenty of confidence!
"Don't be careless. Since this person dares to take action, he must have someone to rely on!"
Su Feng was not optimistic, but his heart sank.
When the dust and smoke cleared, Jiang Che, who was holding a divine halberd and wearing black scale armor, slowly revealed his true body. Above his eyebrows, black and white light was escaping, and his whole body was filled with murderous intent.
"I never expected that you, the king, have always wanted to fight you again, and now I finally have the chance."
Zakumu snorted coldly and took the magic weapon in his hand, his fighting spirit rising.
"How did you know our whereabouts? Where is the person behind you? Do you still want to deal with us alone?" Su Feng looked at Jiang Che with deep meaning in his eyes.
"I will tell you these questions in my next life."
Suddenly, a voice sounded again.
The three Zakumu turned around and saw Lu Jieyun, dressed in green clothes, walking out of the void, surrounded by sword energy, and beside him stood a figure whose face could not be seen clearly.
He was wrapped in a black robe, and the whole person was wrapped in it. Zakumu and others took a closer look, and just as the man in black robe slowly raised his head, they were instantly shocked.
Because it suddenly turned out to be a skeleton of white bones, with green fire flashing in its eye sockets, and the aura around it had suddenly reached the advanced stage of divine appearance, exuding a sense of death.
"Lu Jieyun!"
Zakumu's expression changed, and there was murderous intention between his brows.
He never expected that the ambush this time would be caused by two of his original opponents, one of whom was his defeated general, but now he was trying to intercept and kill them.
"We are the envoys of the Northern Barbarians, and it is related to the peace talks between the two countries. By doing this, aren't you afraid that the Emperor of the Central Plains will be angry and destroy your nine tribes?" Su Feng shouted.
"If you were afraid, you wouldn't have come today. Brother Jiang, don't waste your time. Where is Senior Scarlet Blood?" Lu Jieyun didn't want to talk too much, let alone delay for too long.
I just want a quick victory.
"Of course it's coming."
When Jiang Che finished speaking, suddenly, a sword cry echoed through the void. The next moment, infinite sword energy gathered in the void, pointing directly at Sufeng!
Zhao Xianzhi took action, and once he took action, it was a killing move.
Jiang Che had already explained the whole story to her, and Zhao Xianzhi naturally had no objections to this. Not to mention the previous conditions, their friendship alone was extraordinary.
And her mission is to kill the venerable person opposite.
"court death!"
Seeing that without any greeting, the other party directly killed him, Su Feng immediately showed his anger, snorted coldly, and the aura of the late-stage venerable around him suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, he took a step forward, with divine light lingering around his body, and killed Zhao Xianzhi.
"It's not the Scarlet-Blooded Demon Lord." Lu Jieyun was stunned for a moment by the sudden appearance of the mysterious Lord. He had always thought that Jiang Che would ask the Scarlet-Blooded Demon Lord to take action, but who knew, it turned out to be a strange woman.
However, he had no objection to this, because the sudden appearance of this powerful man could tell that he was extraordinary just by his escaping aura, and he was no weaker than the protectors around him.
"Senior Baigu, let's do it!"
The green Bone Master glanced at him, and his figure changed in the blink of an eye, turning into a ray of white light, falling like a meteor, and directly killed Rimuzhen, another great master of the Northern Barbarians.
Similarly, Lu Jieyun was not idle either, he was about to take action against Zha Gumu.
But before he could make a move, Zagumu took the lead, holding a magic weapon and smashing towards Jiang Che, shouting:
"Jiang Che, die!"
The sudden confrontation broke out suddenly, and endless roars broke out in the void in an instant. The Hundred-foot Valley was directly destroyed, and the rumbling sound continued.
Facing Zagumu's explosion, Jiang Che did not move at all, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then, from the ground, a hundred-foot real dragon Dharma image suddenly condensed.
With a roar, with a tyrannical pressure, he directly killed Zagumu.
"What? Dharma image!"
At this moment, Zagumu was shocked.
As the prince of the Northern Barbarians, his knowledge was naturally extraordinary. He could distinguish between what was a Dharma image and what was a virtual image. Naturally, he saw at a glance that this real dragon was a genuine Dharma image.
In a panic, he quickly propped up his own virtual image to resist.
However, the gap between the Dharma Image and the Void Image was huge. He was not Jiang Che's opponent, so he could not fight against him at a higher level. After a confrontation, the Void Image completely collapsed.
He was swept from the void to the ground by a dragon's tail.
His whole body was shaking, his long hair was messed up, and there was still lingering shock in his eyes.
Not only was he shocked, but Lu Jieyun was also shocked.
Originally, he wanted to take down Zagumu with Jiang Che as soon as possible, and then help the other two. As a result, before he could do anything, Jiang Che directly summoned a Dharma Image.
This immediately stirred up waves in his heart.
He really didn't expect that Jiang Che had already entered the Dharma Image realm.
How long has it been since he broke through the Nascent Soul? !
It's only been a few months!
He thought he was already powerful enough, with many opportunities, and his cultivation level improved very quickly, but he didn't expect that there were people who were more courageous than him and whose cultivation level far exceeded his.
He even had a thought at this moment.
Did Jiang Che break through in the past half month, or did he break through long ago?
Could it be that he suppressed his strength last time in Yanglongtan?
But, with so many strong people around, how come no one could see his true strength?
At this time, Lu Jieyun was in a mess.
For the first time, he felt a great sense of frustration.
He always thought that he could be on par with Jiang Che, and would surpass him one day, after all, he had too many things in his mind, but it seemed that the truth was.
The gap between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger.
Although Jiang Che expected the shock of Zagumu and Lu Jieyun, he did not care. After all, he could not show mercy, nor would he pretend to fight.
As Lu Jieyun said, it was the right way to deal with them as soon as possible.
Therefore, when the True Dragon Dharma Image blasted Zagumu back, Jiang Che took action.
The whole person passed a residual image in the void, and the surrounding Yin and Yang Demon Flames opened the way, burning everything, like a black-armored war god, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Zagumu.
