Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 531: The World Trembles, Reaching the Pinnacle!
He activated the Zhenwu Sword, the treasure of the Wudang Mountain sect.
What spirit!
What a state of mind!
What magnanimity!!!
Chen Yuan fell, but hundreds of thousands of Chen Yuans stood up. They wanted revenge, they wanted to return the hatred the barbarians had given them tenfold, a hundredfold!
In an instant, everyone outside Liangzhou City was enraged.
Their anger soared to the sky!
Accompanied by Wei Jinfeng's low roar, the Northern Liang army moved, disregarding their own safety, and charged forward!
They were fighting desperately!
This was a truly desperate fight!
Less than 200,000 Northern Liang soldiers were going to fight against nearly 500,000 Northern Barbarian iron cavalry, which was no less than trying to break a stone with an egg.
In fact, after Wanyan Tianba began to retreat, the crisis in Liangzhou City had already been resolved. It would have been better for them to rest and recuperate, but at this moment, no one mentioned it.
Wei Jinfeng was the first to charge forward.
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Wanyan Tianba!
The death of Divine General Wanyan Shu meant that the other side had lost a True Lord-level combatant, which was definitely a good opportunity for them. As long as they could leave these hundreds of thousands of barbarians in Liangzhou,
Northern Barbarians would not dare to invade for at least thirty to fifty years!
"Wanyan Tianba, leave your life here!"
Wei Jinfeng roared, taking a step forward, causing the void to change color. The divine halberd in his hand bloomed with dazzling divine light, and he slashed directly at Wanyan Tianba!
As soon as he moved, several generals of the Northern Liang army, the surviving Huayang Realm cultivator from the Liangzhou Jianghu, and the seven real people from Wudang Mountain also moved.
Hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry, like a flood, frantically drove the alien warhorses beneath them.
This was a swan song!
A magnificent painting.
But all of this had nothing to do with Chen Yuan anymore. At this moment, after unleashing his final sword strike, he had reached the limit of his endurance.
The cracks in the Heavenly Core within his dantian had already begun to spread rapidly.
An aura of death enveloped his entire body.
The May breeze stirred Chen Yuan's hair, and he floated slowly from the void like a falling leaf. The Zhenwu Immortal Sword had already slipped from his hand and fallen into Zuo Chengzong's grasp.
Within the Emperor Slaughtering Blade, Moro, whose primordial spirit was somewhat weakened, waved his hand, and an invisible rule of Daoist charm began to fill Chen Yuan's body, maintaining his last glimmer of life.
The power of all living beings, the Zhenwu Immortal Sword, the imprint of the Great Emperor Zhenwu – these were not so easy to wield, especially since Chen Yuan was only at the Dan Realm.
The difference between the two was too great.
The aftershocks left after the battle were enough to overwhelm Chen Yuan, and an invisible rule of Daoist charm was destroying his physical body and primordial spirit.
Wei Wuque did not charge forward, but also looked at Chen Yuan in the void. Seeing him falling powerlessly, he took a step forward and directly caught Chen Yuan. When he sensed that there was no life left in his body,
his eyes contained tears of blood.
Brother Chen, a true man!!!
Catching Chen Yuan's 'corpse', Wei Wuque was speechless, not knowing what to say. He clearly had unparalleled talent, rare in the world, but he was willing to sacrifice his life for the people of Liangzhou.
Such awareness was hard not to be moved by.
Zuo Chengzong walked forward with a pale face and called out softly:
"Brother Wei."
Wei Wuque did not reply, but closed his eyes.
After a long time, he said:
"Brother Chen... is gone."
Zuo Chengzong frowned, his eyes flashing. He stared at Chen Yuan's body for a moment and whispered:
"Brother Wei, don't be so decisive yet. Brother Chen is a person born with great destiny, he won't die so easily. His physical body is unparalleled, he will definitely pull through.
The Zhenwu Sword Spirit told me that there is still a faint glimmer of life on Brother Chen's body. Quickly take him back to the city."
"Are you serious?"
Wei Wuque looked up excitedly.
He could not sense the life force on Chen Yuan's body, but that did not mean Zuo Chengzong could not sense it, especially since the Zhenwu Divine Sword on his body could sense it, so it must be true.
Even divine weapons have extremely strong spirituality.
Not to mention the legendary immortal artifacts.
"How dare I joke about this?"
"Okay, I'll take Brother Chen back to the royal palace immediately."
"I'll go with you too."
"Good."
Chen Yuan's fall from the sky attracted the attention of many people, but with Wei Wuque catching him, no one stepped forward, but instead charged forward.
Wei Jinfeng and Wanyan Tianba engaged in a world-shaking battle in the void.
Wanyan Tianba had many exotic treasures and divine weapons, and he could barely hold on for a short time.
However, the Zhenwu Seven Intercept Array formed by the seven sons of Wudang Mountain put great pressure on the barbarian True Lord. Song Yingqiao alone was enough to defeat him.
Not to mention the seven of them joining forces.
In a short time, he lost an arm.
On the other hand, the progress of the army below was somewhat unfavorable. Although everyone was determined to die, the number of Northern Barbarian troops was still too large, and even while fighting and retreating, they were still able to maintain their formation.
This battle lasted for half an hour. The Northern Barbarian army had retreated a long distance, but the Northern Liang army behind them was still biting them tightly, leaving countless corpses behind.
Wanyan Tianba used all his means but could not stop Wei Jinfeng. However, under his secret technique, he did not lose his life, but was severely injured.
Don't underestimate this injury. This was an injury to the origin, and even if Wanyan Tianba had royal court treasures to heal him, it would take at least a year and a half to recover.
As for the other barbarian needle, he was miserable. His physical body was destroyed, leaving only his Yang Spirit to escape into the void.
More than a dozen Huayang Realm cultivators were killed by half, bleeding before Liangzhou City.
This battle of Liangzhou City came to a brief end, but it was not completely over. Wei Jinfeng was finally backfired and suffered serious injuries.
But he seemed unaware and continued to lead his troops to charge forward.
He merged into the battle formation.
Soon, he pushed it to the vicinity of Jianmen Pass, and it was still continuing.
They killed all the way, with corpses everywhere.
The ground was stained red with blood.
In the end, Wei Jinfeng led less than 150,000 Northern Liang soldiers and Jianghu martial artists, and in just a few days, pushed the front line to the grassland, deep into the grassland for eight hundred miles, before finally ending this battle.
More than half of the 300,000 Northern Liang soldiers were lost, and most of the nearly 100,000 garrison troops and newly recruited soldiers were also lost. Most of the Jianghu martial artists who came to support were also killed.
Even two Huayang Realm cultivators fell.
The main generals of the four major battalions of the Northern Liang army, the main generals of the Water and Wind Battalions, all fell, and their primordial spirits were gone.
The other two were also seriously injured.
The losses were not small.
Of course, in comparison, the losses on the Northern Barbarian side were even greater.
The Barbarian God's Dharma Body was forced out, and the national fortune accumulated over many years was almost exhausted. Three Huayang True Lords and Divine General Wanyan Shu fell, and another Barbarian True Lord's physical body was destroyed.
Even the Khan Wanyan Tianba barely survived with a severely injured body.
The 700,000 Northern Barbarian iron cavalry, who came with great momentum, were more than half lost, leaving behind a land of corpses, and only less than 300,000 elite cavalry retreated back to the grassland.
Such losses directly led to the complete loss of the elite of the two royal tribes, and the complete annihilation of many small tribes.
They would not dare to go south to the Central Plains for at least twenty years!
Wei Jinfeng dragged his tired body, ordered everything to be arranged, and all the wounded were treated on the spot. The remaining compensation issues were being urgently calculated.
He was not a heartless person. The three top sects in Liangzhou, two of which had fallen Huayang cultivators, were like fish on a chopping board to some people, at their mercy.
Don't overestimate some people's minds. They were really capable of bullying others with their power.
In order to prevent this problem, Wei Jinfeng directly announced to Liangzhou that he would protect the three major sects for fifty years. Anyone who dared to take advantage of the situation, even the Heavenly King, would be flattened by his Northern Liang iron cavalry!
The scattered cultivators and Jianghu martial artists who fell in the small sects were also ordered by him not to be bullied by anyone for thirty years.
As for Wudang Mountain, Wei Jinfeng even opened the treasury for them to choose from at will.
But Song Yingqiao declined, saying that Wudang Mountain was also a part of Liangzhou, and it was natural to contribute. Wei Jinfeng had already spent a lot of money, so they would naturally not want anything else.
If it really came to the foundation, Wei Jinfeng was still far inferior to Wudang Mountain.
When Wei Jinfeng returned to Liangzhou City, it had been nearly ten days since that final battle. The ground in front of Liangzhou City had been spontaneously cleaned by the people of Liangzhou.
But it still exuded a soaring bloody aura.
However, no one hated it, but felt heavy in their hearts.
Countless people spontaneously set up memorial tablets for the Northern Liang soldiers who had no family members in their homes, and invited them into their homes to worship them every day.
And the impact of this battle, with the end of that battle, completely spread throughout the entire Central Plains.
For a time, the world was shaken!
Seven hundred thousand Northern Barbarian iron cavalry.
The royal court Barbarian God.
Sixth Realm Immortal.
More than half were killed or wounded.
They chased and killed the defeated soldiers for three thousand miles!
More than half of the Northern Liang soldiers were lost, and Wei Jinfeng cut off his own path.
All of these things were shocking.
And Chen Yuan's achievements in Liangzhou, and the words he said in front of Liangzhou City, were regarded as famous sayings by countless people.
"Everyone dies, some lighter than a feather, some heavier than Mount Tai."
"How can we allow you barbarians to invade the vast land of the Central Plains?"
"Why should we martial artists fear death?"
"It's not about whether it's worth it, it's just for the beliefs in our hearts..."
Chen Yuan's words brought tears to the eyes of countless people, and their admiration for him had reached its peak.
In addition to these words, the poems he had said before, such as
"We share life and death, we share our hearts, a promise is worth a thousand gold."
"We talk and laugh about great plans, nothing beats a drunk in the world."
and various other poems were also widely circulated.
Especially in the northern Central Plains, in the states of You and Liang, his prestige reached its peak.
And with the surge in his prestige, Chen Yuan's life and death became the concern of countless people. For the sake of Liangzhou, he was willing to die, activating the Zhenwu Sword, the treasure of the Wudang Mountain sect, and suffering a backlash.
Now his life was in danger.
This matter was also spread out.
Countless people in Liangzhou prayed for Chen Yuan every day, hoping that he could live.
And while shocked by Chen Yuan's achievements,
the powerful people he had killed in this war against the Northern Barbarians were also admired by countless people.
He killed the Sixth Realm Barbarian God's Dharma Body and a True Lord with one sword.
Although these were all done with the help of the Zhenwu Sword, they were still shocking enough.
Even without these things, Chen Yuan's feat of killing a Huayang Realm barbarian True Lord in front of Jianmen Pass was real, and there was no falsehood in it.
It was done in front of more than 100,000 Northern Liang soldiers.
He led eighteen cavalrymen to raid the Northern Barbarian's grain camp at night, killed the Huayang Realm guard, and burned 70% of the Northern Barbarian's grain in one fire.
Which of these things was not a shocking event?
You must know that Chen Yuan is still at the Dan Realm!
After several days of fermentation, Dengxian Tower, after careful consideration, directly placed Chen Yuan, who was now in an uncertain state of life and death, at the top of the Wind and Cloud Ranking!
And compared to the previous times when many people were dissatisfied, this time, most people were convinced.
Anyone who dared to disagree would be severely injured on the spot.
Such fights had occurred more than once in the north.
The south was fine, but in the north, Chen Yuan's prestige was second only to Wei Jinfeng.
Because of his identity and origin, he was even more admirable.
He was born in Qingzhou in the south and was ordered to be the Celestial Inspector in Liangzhou. Before the war, the emperor intended to summon him back to Beijing, but he righteously refused the order.
He chose to share weal and woe with Liangzhou.
Such a typical example was even more impeccable.
And when the war ended, the messenger talisman from Beijing had already arrived. Emperor Jingtai personally apologized to Wei Jinfeng, saying that he was not strict enough in managing his subordinates.
The Divine Martial True Lord did not support Liangzhou nearby, but went to Youzhou instead, and had already been severely punished by him.
The imperial court personally allocated 50 million taels of silver and tens of thousands of yuan crystals for compensation.
Wei Jinfeng accepted all of these things, but did not give the imperial court any reply.
And he also let people reveal the imperial court's actions this time, which made the martial artists and people in the north even more dissatisfied, feeling that the imperial court was unfair, and doing such things at this time.
This made the imperial court's prestige in the north drop to its lowest point.
Even if Wei Jinfeng raised the banner of rebellion at this time, he would be supported by many people, but he had not been blinded by hatred yet.
He knew that with Liangzhou's current strength, it was not enough to resist the imperial court.
Emperor Jingtai's plan had achieved a lot, greatly weakening Wei Jinfeng's strength, and it would be difficult for him to recover for at least ten years, which was both beneficial and harmful.
Gu Tianqiong also asked someone to send a message to Wei Jinfeng, saying that he could send troops to guard Liangzhou for him, but he was directly driven out.
Chen Yuan's near-death concerned not only the people of Liangzhou, but also many people who cared about him in their hearts, the Zhang family and his son, Zhang Erjie, and his old subordinates in Beijing.
They all sent people to inquire about Chen Yuan's news.
After hearing about it, several Dao Lords of the Daoshen Palace quickly contacted Moro, especially Su Ziyue and Jiang He. Moro told them that Chen Yuan would be fine.
With him around, he would definitely not die, and told them not to expose themselves rashly.
This made them breathe a sigh of relief.
After hearing about it, Shen Yanshu of the Goddess Palace secretly left the mountain gate, but was stopped by Yu Qingyan. The two almost became enemies, and Li Suqing, the Evergreen Dao Lord, had to speak up to suppress Shen Yanshu's worries.
Li Suqing told her that the Goddess Palace had already received news that Chen Yuan was gradually getting better. If she went to Liangzhou, she would only cause trouble.
Shen Yanshu thought for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.
Shangguan Hong of the Shangguan clan in Shuzhou also left a letter and was about to cross 100,000 miles to Liangzhou City, but was stopped by Shangguan Yu.
He said something else.
He said that he himself was worried about Brother Chen's injuries, but the Shangguan family had already sent people to Liangzhou. If Shangguan Hong left without saying goodbye, it would anger his father.
And he promised her that he would be the first to tell her when news came.
This made Shangguan Hong change her mind.
And to say who was the most worried, it was none other than those in Tangshan Prefecture. Madam Xu could not sleep all night and arranged the affairs below.
She directly discussed with Han Yu, Du Ming, and others, wanting to go to Liangzhou.
She also wanted to see what they were thinking.
Whether they had any other ideas.
The final result was a sigh of relief. Chen Yuan's vision was still good. Whether it was Du Ming, Han Yu, or Liu Zhengzong, they did not have any unusual thoughts.
They were still honest and wanted to go to Liangzhou with her.
Just as they made a move, Jiang He came.
He told them that Chen Yuan's injuries had improved and Tangshan Prefecture could not be in chaos, otherwise the imperial court would notice. Madam Xu and the others still believed his words.
After all, from Chen Yuan's previous actions, it could be seen that his relationship with Jiang He was very unusual.
They could only suppress their worries and guard Tangshan Prefecture for Chen Yuan.
Jiang He came this time at the request of Su Ziyue, saying that Tangshan Prefecture was Chen Yuan's foundation and must not be noticed by the imperial court, otherwise his previous accumulation would be in vain.
That's why he made a special trip from Qingzhou City.
In Beijing, Consort Yang's mental state was very poor and she couldn't sleep at night. She herself felt strange. Chen Yuan clearly had a feud with her before.
But now she was worried about his safety, which was really indescribable.
Northern Liang Royal Palace.
Wei Jinfeng would go to the secret realm to see Chen Yuan once every day, and today was no exception.
In order to treat Chen Yuan's injuries, Wei Jinfeng used many spiritual objects, but they only added a glimmer of life to Chen Yuan and did not wake him up.
"How is he?"
"Father, Brother Chen is still the same. His heart pulse is not broken, but he just won't open his eyes." Wei Wuque let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at Chen Yuan with his eyes tightly closed, Wei Jinfeng's eyes sank slightly. He had personally examined Chen Yuan and knew that his physical vitality was not weak, but his Heavenly Core was somewhat unstable.
He was in a very strange state.
"Your Highness, Wudang Mountain sent a message, saying that Chen Yuan can be sent to Wudang Mountain and they have a way to help him," an old man stepped forward and bowed.
Wei Jinfeng thought for a long time before nodding.
Wudang Mountain was a contemporary immortal sect and might know Chen Yuan's current situation.
Then, he prepared to personally escort Chen Yuan to Wudang Mountain to avoid accidents along the way. As the news spread,
When Chen Yuan was lying in the royal carriage preparing to leave Liangzhou City,
more than 100,000 people had gathered on the streets, stretching for several miles.
There were people from Liangzhou, wounded Northern Liang soldiers, Celestial Guards from the Celestial Inspectorate, and many martial artists from the Liangzhou Jianghu, all silently sending Chen Yuan off.
Wei Jinfeng glanced around, looked at Chen Yuan in the royal carriage, and his expression changed slightly.
This was all he could do. The rest was up to Chen Yuan to wake up. In the future, Liangzhou would have a great helper.
"Let's go!"
The royal carriage streaked across the void like a streamer.
The people of Liangzhou who had come to see him off stayed for a long time without dispersing.
